Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 415 Revisiting the Celestial City

Although the old dean spoke modestly, everyone in the hall, being astute, could discern the high regard he held for Shi An.

Yun Canghai's heart was filled with turmoil. The old dean's words, though seemingly humble, were in fact the most powerful proof that Shi An had reached an unimaginable height.

This child's achievements are so remarkable that even someone as important as him felt his assistance was "dispensable"? What an astonishing level of growth!

Yun Canghai was deeply moved, but his expression grew even more amiable. He gestured to the maid to serve another cup of spiritual tea before slowly saying, "I wonder why you have come here today, Senior..."

Upon hearing this, the old dean gently put down his teacup, his expression gentle: "I have indeed come here for two matters. First, to accompany my young disciple to visit his in-laws; as for the second, I have come to seek out the Celestial Race."

"Not long ago, a major event occurred in the Three Thousand Continents, an event that completely changed the landscape of the Three Thousand Continents."

As they spoke, the old dean's gaze suddenly sharpened, causing everyone in the hall to hold their breath. Even Yun Lianxing, who was speaking softly to her daughter, looked up.

In an instant, all eyes were on the old dean, filled with inquiry and solemnity.

The fact that someone of his stature would personally come and call it a major event that "completely changes the landscape of the Three Thousand Continents" speaks volumes about its significance.

Yun Canghai's expression turned solemn, and he unconsciously leaned forward slightly: "May I ask, senior, was it the great battle that happened not long ago?"

"That's right, it was that great battle."

The old dean nodded slightly, his gaze as deep as the starry sky: "Several lineages, including the Immortal Palace, the Underworld, and the Sword Valley, joined forces to besiege Liu Shen, but were suppressed by Liu Shen alone, and even two crippled immortals perished on the spot."

"After this battle, the power structure of the Three Thousand Continents will inevitably be reshuffled, and the Celestial Race, as a major race in the Upper Realm, will naturally need to make corresponding responses."

"boom!"

As soon as the old dean finished speaking, it was as if a thunderclap exploded in the hall!

Yun Canghai, Yun Menglan, Yun Feiyang, Yun Lianxing, and even the guide, Elder Yue, Yun Zhongyue, all gasped in shock. Their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes lost all their previous calm, replaced by overwhelming shock and disbelief!
The Immortal Palace, the Underworld, the Sword Valley—these are all the most powerful and ancient forces in the Upper Realm, having dominated the world for countless epochs, with unfathomable depths of power.

Furthermore, there is a remnant immortal presiding over it, a legendary being who overlooks the human realm and is indestructible through countless eons!

However, their attempt to kill Liu Shen backfired, resulting in their suppression. Not only were several sect leaders killed on the spot, but even two remnant immortals perished, vanishing into oblivion for eternity!

This torrent of information, like a massive hammer blow, slammed into the hearts of everyone in the Yun family.

Although they were located on the outer branch of the Celestial Race, they were well aware of the weight these names represented. It was almost a clash of the highest level of power in the upper realm, a world-destroying war that could overturn the universe and repeat the destruction of earth, water, fire, and wind!

But the result was such a one-sided and devastating outcome?

"The Willow Goddess... is she really this powerful?"

Yun Canghai's voice was dry, even with a slight, barely perceptible tremor.

The image of the willow branch he had encountered in Cloud Hidden City involuntarily surfaced in his mind. At the time, he only felt that it was mysterious and powerful, but he could not connect it with such mythical achievements as "annihilating the sect leader" and "suppressing the remnant immortals".

But after the initial shock, a chilling coldness instantly rose up the spines of the Yun family members.

Such a dramatic change will have far-reaching consequences, affecting far more than just the few forces involved in the war!
Those colossal beings, who had dominated for millennia and overlooked three thousand states, collapsed in an instant. The enormous power vacuum and vested interests they left behind will inevitably trigger unimaginable chaos and storms. How could the Celestial Race, as one of the ancient lineages of the Upper Realm, remain uninvolved?

But after a short while, Yun Canghai shook his head. No matter what the future held, it was no longer up to him to decide.

He was no longer the patriarch of the Celestial Race in the lower realm. At this moment, he was just a marginal figure who barely left an impression on the Celestial Race in the upper realm by relying on his experience as the patriarch in the lower realm.

Yun Canghai sighed inwardly, but forced a calm expression on his face. He looked at the old dean and said respectfully, "Senior, such a momentous event must have already been taken action by the higher-ups of the Celestial Race. We juniors are not in a position to say much about it."

After Yun Canghai finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence. Yun Menglan, Yun Feiyang and the others all looked somewhat gloomy, as if they were recalling some unhappy past events.

Seeing this, the old dean remained calm and showed no displeasure at the distant and evasive answer. He simply picked up his teacup, took another sip, and then said, "I misspoke."

After saying that, he suddenly turned to Shi An and said, "Shi An, I need to go to the Celestial City later to discuss matters with the Celestial Clan. Would you like to come with me, or would you like to rest here for a while?"

When asked by the old dean, Shi An did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Yun Xi and saw that although there was reluctance in her eyes, she still nodded gently.

A slight warmth touched his heart, and he turned to the old dean, calmly replying, "Teacher, I will accompany you."

"Okay, let's do it together!"

Seeing this, the old dean nodded with a smile.

"Grandfather, great-aunt, father, mother, grandfather-in-law, then we will go with Dean first."

The next moment, Shi An stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, his demeanor calm and composed, exuding an air of profound composure.

Upon hearing this, Yun Canghai and the others quickly stood up to return the greeting.

Looking at the increasingly unfathomable young man before him, Yun Canghai was filled with mixed emotions, but in the end he could only solemnly say, "Be careful in everything."

Yunxi also stood up, walked to Shi An's side, and said softly, "Brother An, come back soon."

To this, Shi An simply smiled gently: "Yes."

At the same time, the old dean also stood up and said to Yun Canghai and the others, "Gentlemen, we shall take our leave for now."

Having said that, he and Shi An took a step forward, their figures seemingly merging into the void, and in the next moment they disappeared from the courtyard, leaving only a faint Daoist aura flowing around them, indicating that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Inside the hall, Yun Canghai and the others stared in the direction where they had disappeared, speechless for a long time, their hearts churning with turbulent emotions. What they had seen and heard today might completely change their understanding of the world.

The news that the old dean had casually mentioned earlier was like a thunderclap from the heavens, repeatedly exploding in their minds.

Those names that once symbolized the pinnacle of power in the upper realm, existing like myths and legends, even the remnant immortals who looked down upon eternity, actually ended their lives in such a devastating way.

Annihilate the sect leader, suppress the remnants of the immortals...

The power of the Willow Goddess cannot be described as merely "powerful"; it is a forbidden power that overturns all understanding, a reappearance of the God of War from mythology!
