The Eastern Xuan Domain is vast and boundless. In this world, the top super sects are stationed in all directions, their power shaking the eight wastelands.

Under the command of these supreme sects, countless dynasties of all sizes are controlled, with clear hierarchical levels and strict class barriers. Hundreds of dynasties rise and fall, all relying on the major sects for survival.

The Great Yan Dynasty was just an inconspicuous corner of these hundreds of dynasties.

Its overall national strength and martial arts foundation have long been at a lower level compared to many dynasties. With shallow foundation and mediocre strength, it is definitely at the bottom of the power pyramid in the Eastern Xuan Region. Under normal circumstances, it is not worth paying attention to by the top powers, and is as insignificant as dust.

But no one could have predicted that such an ordinary, unremarkable dynasty, hidden beneath its foundation, possessed a profound and extraordinary ancient secret.

Within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Great Wilderness County is a remote region surrounded by mountains and rarely visited by people. Here lies the ancient ruins of a powerful ancient sect, the Great Wilderness Sect.

Who could have known that at its peak, the Great Wilderness Sect was far more powerful and profound than any super sect in the Eastern Xuan Region today, dominating the ancient years and enjoying unparalleled glory, once reigning supreme in the world?

Unfortunately, prosperity inevitably leads to decline, and fortune and misfortune are intertwined. By chance, the Great Wilderness Sect was fortunate enough to wield the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, one of the eight peerless ancestral symbols. It was precisely because of this heaven-defying treasure that it suddenly attracted the covetous eyes of the vicious and ruthless alien demon race, who had long coveted the ancestral symbol.

To seize the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the Otherworldly Demons launched a massive invasion, igniting widespread war and endless slaughter, ultimately overwhelming the entire Great Wilderness Sect.

An ancient and powerful sect was destroyed and collapsed, its lineage completely severed, its glory never to return, and its vast foundation was reduced to ruins. Over the course of a thousand years, only ancient relics remain, scarred and desolate, quietly buried deep in the mountains of the Great Wilderness County, silent to this day.

Through the changing times and generations, eight top core forces now stand within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, wielding the power of the dynasty and dividing its lands.

These eight forces are divided into two major camps: five major families and three major sects. They have profound foundations and solid roots. Each of them has produced peerless geniuses who have amazed generations and become famous throughout the world during the fierce and brutal Hundred Dynasties War. Their foundations are far beyond what ordinary small forces can match.

The five major families are the Mo, Lin, Wang, Qin, and Huangfu clans, with long-standing bloodlines and generations of noble and powerful families. Among them, the Mo clan is the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty, holding the legitimate imperial power and ruling over all directions.

The three major sects are Tianluo Sect, Dabeigu Sect, and Manwang Sect. The martial arts of these sects are thriving, and many powerful figures emerge from them. Each sect possesses unique inherited secret techniques, which intimidate all sides of the dynasty and rival the five major families, jointly governing the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Among the many prefectures of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Great Yan Prefecture holds the most special position. It is the premier prefecture of the dynasty and the undisputed core heart of the entire dynasty.

The Great Yan Prefecture is known as the Imperial Prefecture. The imperial capital of the dynasty is located in the heart of the prefecture. The royal city is majestic, the palaces are continuous, and all kinds of prosperity are gathered here.

In terms of territory, the Great Yan Prefecture may not be the most expansive of any dynasty, but it is a place where the strong and heroes of the Great Yan Dynasty gather, with countless martial arts practitioners and top experts emerging one after another.

All the truly top-level core forces within the dynasty are rooted in this imperial county, and their status is self-evident.

The Great Yan Prefecture is divided into eight major cities, with a well-organized layout. The eight top powers each occupy one city, ruling their own territory and wielding immense power.

Under such circumstances, the Great Yan Prefecture rightfully became the political and power center of the entire Great Yan Dynasty, admired by all directions and worshipped by all clans.

The Imperial City is the core holy city with the deepest foundation and the most prestigious status in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. Thousands of nobles gather here, and the imperial power and dragon aura suppress all directions, making it incomparably noble and unshakable.

Deep within the imperial palace grounds, a majestic peak rises abruptly from the ground, its steep slopes piercing the clouds, standing tall and imposing.

This mountain is called Holy War Peak, a top-secret forbidden area sealed off by the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty for generations. Ordinary people are not even qualified to approach it. This is because deep within this mountain peak lies an ancient battlefield teleportation passage that connects the past and present, reaching the primordial era. The matter is of utmost importance and cannot be revealed.

At the summit of Holy War Peak stands a massive, ancient stone formation, weathered by time.

The massive rock forming the base of the array is densely covered with ancient and profound innate runes. The crisscrossing patterns are ancient and timeless, and powerful and awe-inspiring energy waves surge continuously from the depths of the array. The surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) is drawn to it, causing it to stir and boil endlessly, its power terrifying beyond measure.

hum-

A deep, deafening roar suddenly resounded from the mountaintop and the earth, echoing throughout the entire palace.

Historically, this ancient magic array would only be activated by the royal family when the Hundred Dynasties War, held once every twenty years, began.

But today, without any warning, the stone array began to tremble violently and incessantly. Countless ancient runes on the array surface suddenly revived, radiating a dazzling and brilliant light.

A magnificent pillar of light, stretching across the heavens and earth, slowly rose from the core of the formation, soaring straight into the sky. Its radiance was as intense as a blazing sun suspended in the air, dazzling and awe-inspiring, shaking all directions.

This astonishing phenomenon was so powerful and alarming that it instantly alerted all the powerful guards within the palace.

A figure instantly broke through the air and sped over, appearing below the mountain peak.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man with black and white hair, a majestic and imposing demeanor, and a golden dragon robe adorned with dragon patterns. He exuded the supreme and unparalleled imperial majesty, and his aura was as solid and dignified as a mountain. He was none other than Mo Jingtian, the current ruler of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"How could the teleportation array activate on its own without warning? Could it be... that a powerful figure from a major sect in the Eastern Xuan Region has arrived in the territory of our Great Yan Dynasty?"

Mo Jingtian gazed at the ancient magic array before him, its light blazing and its power surging. His eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty, his heart was full of confusion and bewilderment, and his brows held an eager anticipation that he could hardly contain.

In his view, only the top experts of the super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region had the ability to trigger the ancient teleportation array of the Holy War Peak to move on its own. Unless a noble person from the upper sect personally came, there was no other possibility.

A moment later, the towering pillar of light slowly dimmed its intense brilliance and gradually dissipated into the world.

As the light and shadow at the center of the magic array gradually subsided, three distinct figures, one tall, one medium, and one short, slowly materialized from the void of the array and stepped out of the center.

"I really don't understand why you insisted on bringing me and Sister Qingzhu to this tiny Great Yan Dynasty. What's the point of wasting time traveling to such a small place!"

Among the three figures, the smallest one, muttering complaints under her breath, stepped out of the teleportation array first.

The girl looked to be only about ten years old, with delicate features and a beautiful, clear complexion—a truly stunning beauty.

However, she was unknowingly surrounded by wisps of bone-chilling coldness, with an icy aura spreading quietly. She exuded a sense of aloofness and coldness, with a cold and indifferent temperament, and a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay. Ordinary people would not dare to approach her even slightly.

"Huanhuan, this Great Yan Dynasty is far from being as ordinary and unremarkable as you see it." As soon as Ying Huanhuan finished muttering, a clear and cold female voice, as serene as an ice spring and otherworldly, slowly rang out. Her tone was gentle but carried an air of aloofness. It was Ling Qingzhu.

"The once mighty Great Wilderness Sect is said to have originated here. In its heyday, the sect boasted many peak experts at the Reincarnation Realm. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in that cataclysmic calamity and its lineage was severed. The once mighty dynasty also declined and never regained its ancient glory."

As the words fell, a slender and graceful figure slowly stepped out from the gradually calming teleportation array.

The girl's face was covered by a thin, hazy white veil, obscuring her features and revealing only a pair of clear, cold eyes, serene and untouched by worldly concerns.

Her figure has begun to mature, with a slender and well-proportioned figure and an elegant and upright posture. She looks no more than twelve or thirteen years old, her youthful innocence just beginning to blossom and her brilliance just beginning to show.

"Qingzhu is right. This Great Yan Dynasty may seem remote and inconspicuous, but it actually holds many ancient secrets. Otherwise, why would I have specially brought the two of you all the way to this remote border region of the Eastern Xuan Domain?"

As the two women stepped out one after the other, the last figure, tall and slender, emerged slowly from the remaining mist of the formation.

The man was dressed in a light blue robe, the hem of which hung lightly. He had a composed demeanor, a handsome face, clear eyes and a gentle, calm smile on his lips.

His gaze towards the two women in front of him was warm, filled with undisguised doting and indulgence, revealing their closeness.

The three figures in front of them were naturally Xiao Ling, Ling Qingzhu, and Ying Huanhuan.

Since that day in the Dao Sect's secret chamber, when he helped Ying Huanhuan awaken the Reincarnation Spirit Seal, Xiao Ling has kept her by his side, cultivating alongside Ling Qingzhu.

The Daoist sect leader, Ying Xuanzi, not only had no objection to this, but was also delighted and happy to see it happen.

Entrusting his daughter to a peerless expert like Xiao Ling for constant care would not only ensure her cultivation was stabilized and prevent the Ice Master's personality from being eroded, but also allow her to grow and develop alongside him. Such an opportunity far surpassed that of closed-door cultivation. Ying Xuanzi was naturally overjoyed by this incredible opportunity.

At this moment, Xiao Ling, accompanied by the two women, had traveled all the way to the Great Yan Dynasty, a border region of the Eastern Xuan Domain.

This territory may seem ordinary and unremarkable, but it is actually teeming with undercurrents and holds many ancient mysteries and secrets, which is their destination.

Xiao Ling raised his hand and gently stroked Ying Huanhuan's soft, ice-blue hair, his eyes full of doting affection. Then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Mo Jingtian in front of him.

Mo Jingtian felt a calm yet profound gaze fall upon him, his aura suddenly froze, and his mind trembled violently. He quickly bowed and greeted the emperor with utmost respect:

"My lord, this is within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty. I am Mo Jingtian, the lord of the Great Yan royal family. May I ask what important matters you have to discuss with me?"

He stared at the excessively handsome young man before him, a look of fear flashing deep in his eyes.

The other party appeared gentle and harmless, but the oppressive aura emanating from him was as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, making it difficult for him to even breathe. In an instant, he realized that the person before him was an unparalleled expert whom he absolutely could not afford to offend.

"No need for formalities." Before Xiao Ling could reply, Ling Qingzhu spoke up, her tone light and indifferent.

"We are here on personal business and are just passing through. We would like to temporarily use this teleportation array. Please accept these Nirvana Pills as payment for our journey."

As soon as Ling Qingzhu finished speaking, she raised her jade hand slightly and casually tossed an antique brocade bag into the air, which flew steadily toward Mo Jingtian.

Mo Jingtianxia instinctively reached out and caught the brocade bag. The moment his fingertips touched the bag, he couldn't wait to lift the opening. In an instant, a powerful, mellow, and extremely pure aura of nirvana rushed towards him, a vast and warm current flowing through his limbs and bones, seeping into his heart and soul.

The powerful and pure medicinal energy surged through his body instantly, causing Mo Jingtian's blood and qi to jolt violently, and his heart to tremble.

He instinctively looked up to thank and apologize, but there was no sign of Xiao Ling, Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan on the empty mountaintop.

The three figures that had been standing before them had vanished without a trace.

If it weren't for the brocade pouch still in his palm, and the incredibly real and tangible pure medicinal power emanating from the Nirvana Pill within, Mo Jingtian would almost have thought that their brief encounter was just a hallucination born from his own dazed state of mind.

After a long while, Mo Jingtian let out a long breath, his emotions gradually calming down. His eyes were filled with emotion and awe, and he murmured to himself:

"Hmph... As expected of a supreme figure from a super-powerful force, his actions are so generous and magnanimous, his style is extremely frightening. I just don't know what these amazing experts are doing, coming all this way to my small Great Yan Dynasty... I hope this incident will not bring disaster to the dynasty, and that everything will be peaceful and smooth."

On the bustling long street, people come and go, and the cries of vendors rise and fall.

Ying Huanhuan held Xiao Ling's hand tightly, looked around curiously, and seeing only ordinary, mundane scenes, she quickly looked away, tilted her head up from beneath her icy blue hair, and asked Xiao Ling in a clear voice:

"Big brother, you still haven't told me why we came all the way to the Great Yan Dynasty."

Seeing this, Ling Qingzhu also cast a curious glance at her.

Xiao Ling smiled faintly upon hearing this, looked down at Ying Huanhuan who was holding his hand and looking at him with a curious expression, and explained slowly and patiently.

"I came to the Great Yan Dynasty only to find one person. This person will play a crucial and indispensable role in all my future cultivation plans. The details are complicated, and I will not go into them with you now. When your strength reaches the appropriate level and the time is right, you will naturally know the whole story."

Xiao Ling had made a special trip to the Great Yan Dynasty with many plans in mind, and the most important thing among them was to find Lin Qingtan, the younger sister of the original protagonist Lin Dong.

Although Lin Qingtan possesses the top-tier Yin Sha physique and the Sha Demon Body, and her cultivation talent far surpasses that of ordinary people, this is not the real reason why Xiao Ling values ​​her so much.

Most importantly, Lin Qingtan came from the Great Thousand World, but she accidentally ended up in the Tianxuan Continent and was adopted by Lin Dong's family.

If Xiao Ling were to travel to the Great Thousand Worlds in the future, her identity could serve as a guide, providing her with immense assistance. (End of Chapter)
