Martial Universe: Inherit the Future, Quickly Become a Martial Ancestor!

Soon after,

In the capital of the Immortal Dynasty, in a quiet and elegant courtyard.

"Young Master, you're back." A soft, melodious voice rang out.

A girl dressed in a light pink dress is bowing and waiting.

She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a graceful figure and an extremely beautiful face. What was most striking were her bright and sparkling eyes, with slightly upturned corners that exuded a natural charm while remaining clear and innocent.

Her name is Xinli. She is the personal maid left to Lanhe by his mysteriously missing mother. She has taken care of his daily life since childhood and now has the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm.

"Hmm." Lan He responded casually and took off his outer garment.

Xinli naturally stepped forward, reaching out to take the clothes, and said softly, "Hot water is ready. Shall I help you bathe and change, young master? You've been out and about all day; you should relax..."

"No need."

Lan He interrupted her, his voice calm, and then handed a bottle of pills to Xin Li, "You can take these pills and use them."

Xinli paused slightly, looking down at the warm, smooth jade bottle in Lanhe's hand. Even through the bottle, she could clearly sense the pure and powerful energy contained within, far surpassing that of ordinary pills.

She raised her alluring yet clear eyes to look at Lan He, gently shaking her head. Her tone was gentle yet firm: "Young Master, this pill is too precious; this servant cannot accept it. You yourself have not yet broken through to the Creation Realm, and this is precisely the time when you need it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lan He chuckled and opened his palm.

A solid stream of Yuan energy surged from his palm, coiling like a serpent, and then rapidly condensed into shape.

In the blink of an eye, a lifelike flower of elemental energy had bloomed, with distinct petal textures and even a faint blue sheen.

Using elemental force to mimic objects—this is clearly a technique from the Creation Realm!

What's even more astonishing is that the flower of Yuan energy remained condensed and did not dissipate, its radiance restrained, clearly beyond the control of someone newly entering this realm. Such a powerful and refined level clearly indicates that it has reached the pinnacle of the Creation Realm!

Xinli's alluring eyes widened instantly, her red lips parted slightly, and after a long while, she sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and understanding, saying, "Young Master, you... have been hiding your cultivation level again..."

Lan He smiled, shrugged, and said, "The tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind. Before the Great War of the Hundred Dynasties, it's never a bad thing to keep some trump cards up your sleeve. Even Sister Lan Ying, who's so flamboyant, has been assassinated several times, hasn't she?"

"You must keep this a secret from me."

Upon hearing this, Xinli's expression hardened, and she immediately bowed and replied, "This servant understands and will keep my mouth shut."

Lan He casually waved his hand, and the exquisite flower of Yuan energy in his palm turned into specks of firefly light and dissipated into the surrounding air. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to his room, a series of steady footsteps came from the courtyard gate.

An elderly man dressed in gray, with an ordinary face but sharp eyes, bowed and walked in. He was Lan Zhong, the old steward of the mansion and the personal servant of Lan He's father.

He first bowed respectfully to Lan He, then lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, the Master requests your presence in the front hall."

Lan He frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Father wants to see me? What is it about?"

It should be noted that Lan He's father is the only younger brother of the current Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, a powerful expert at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. He is usually very busy and rarely takes the initiative to summon him.

"People from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace have arrived..."

"Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?" Lan He raised an eyebrow.

It should be known that the Tianxuan Continent is vast and boundless, divided into four major Xuan Domains: East, West, South, and North. Each domain is vast and boundless, forming its own world. They are far apart and difficult to travel between.

In this Eastern Xuan Domain, dynasties stand in great numbers, with a strict hierarchy. Only those who break through to the Creation Realm and enter the Nirvana Realm are qualified to establish a dynasty.

The strongest among the lower-level dynasties are usually below the second-level Nirvana Realm; the middle-level dynasties are between the second and sixth-level Nirvana Realm; and the high-level dynasties need to have a seventh-level Nirvana Realm or even stronger being in charge.

As for super dynasties, they are already the hegemons among dynasties. They not only need top experts above the Life Profound Realm to be in charge, but they are also often directly subordinate to the several high-ranking super sects in the Eastern Profound Domain, serving as their affiliated forces.

The Immortal Dynasty, as one of the ten most famous super dynasties in the Eastern Xuan Region, is directly subordinate to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, one of the eight super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region.

"Did Father say what it was about?"

Lan Zhong bowed slightly and said, "Master is currently in seclusion undergoing a breakthrough and is temporarily unable to attend. He instructed that Young Master should receive them on his behalf. In this old servant's opinion... it should be the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace that has come to deliver the quotas for the Hundred Dynasties War."

"Is Father in seclusion undergoing a breakthrough?"

Upon hearing this, Lan He's eyes lit up slightly. His father was already at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. If he succeeded in this seclusion, he could advance to the Life Profound Realm. Such strength would make him a first-rate expert even in the entire Eastern Profound Region.

After all, even among the core high-ranking members of super sects, such as the eight department heads of Yuanmen and the four hall masters of Daozong, most of them are only at the Shengxuan realm.

"Alright, I'll be right there." Lan He composed himself and asked, "Do you know which elder from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace has come?"

Lan Zhong still bowed with a smile: "This old servant doesn't know either, young master will know once you go."

Lan He glanced at him, sensing an ambiguous meaning hidden in the old man's smile, but didn't dwell on it, simply nodding slightly.

"Lead the way."

……

The atmosphere in the front hall of the War King's Mansion was solemn, yet unusually serious.

As Lan He followed Lan Zhong into the hall, his gaze swept over the scene inside, and a slight chill ran through him.

In the main seat to the right of the main seat in the hall, sat a middle-aged woman dressed in a moon-white robe.

She appeared to be in her early thirties, with a beautiful face, but her eyes and brows were like frozen pools. She exuded an almost tangible pressure, which, despite not being deliberately released, made Lan He, who had just entered the hall, catch his breath.

A powerful expert at the Life Profound Realm!

Lan He had met many powerful figures with his father, and at this moment he instantly judged the other party's cultivation level. Such power was probably not that of an ordinary Shengxuan Realm expert. The sense of oppression was even vaguely similar to that of the reclusive ancestor of the Immortal Dynasty whom he had met by chance when he was young.

Therefore, this person's identity is self-evident; he must be an elder from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace who has come this time.

What truly shook Lan He was the graceful figure standing half a step behind the elder.

She was a girl wearing a light-colored dress.

She stood quietly in the hall, her figure slender, her eyebrows like jade, her skin as white as snow, her waist as slender as a willow. Although her face was covered by a light veil, it could not hide her breathtaking features and the aloof temperament that emanated from within.

What captivates the soul most are those eyes, clear as crystal and transparent as glass, their every glance seemingly capable of eclipsing everything around them.

Although Lan He has lived two lives, his temperament is far beyond that of his peers. Moreover, due to his status, he has seen all kinds of beauties in the Immortal Dynasty.

But even his cousin Lan Ying, who was already famous throughout the dynasty, was beautiful and exceptionally talented, seemed to lack a unique charm in front of this woman.

It wasn't just a face that could captivate the world; it also possessed a cool and aloof quality that emanated from its very bones, like an ice lotus quietly blooming atop a snow-capped mountain, standing alone in the biting wind, untouched by worldly dust, proudly peerless.

"What a beautiful woman..."

Lanhe couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
