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

"Because your strength has exceeded the level that a regular exchange battle should be at."

Lan Zhan stared directly at him, his voice low but clear, "At the First Nirvana Realm, his physical body could withstand the spiritual martial arts activated by the Third Nirvana Realm, even forcing Xiao Ying to use a high-grade Earth-rank spiritual treasure... Such a performance is too astonishing."

He paused, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "If you appear in the exchange battle, it will surely arouse the apprehension of other super dynasties. At that time, not only will the exchange battle itself become dangerous, but it may also attract...unexpected events from outside the arena."

Lan Zhan's voice grew lower and lower, carrying a solemn recollection of the past: "Back then, our Immortal Dynasty also had a senior with extraordinary talent. He also stood out in an exchange battle, overshadowing his peers, but because of this... he was targeted by a dark force and unfortunately met with an accident."

"Although some clues were later found pointing to a hostile super-dynasty, the matter was ultimately dropped due to insufficient evidence."

He looked at Lan He, his gaze sharp as a knife: "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. Before you truly possess the strength to protect yourself, prematurely revealing your potential and trump cards is putting yourself in danger."

"Therefore, you don't need to go to the exchange battle."

Lan Zhan said decisively, "Your battlefield is not here, but on the stage of the Hundred Dynasties War, where no one can interfere."

He abruptly changed the subject, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "The venue for the Hundred Dynasties War is an ancient, independent battlefield space. The rules there are special; apart from the deacons and elders designated by the eight super sects, outsiders are simply not allowed to enter."

"That's the best battlefield for you to truly unleash your talents and potential."

At this moment, Lan Ying stepped forward, a serious look flashing in her eyes, and said earnestly, "Second Uncle is right. Xiao He, your potential far exceeds our expectations. Revealing it too early will indeed do more harm than good. Saving this extraordinary talent for the final stage of the Hundred Dynasties War is the wisest choice."

Upon hearing this, Lan He pondered for a moment. His father and sister Lan Ying's concerns were not without merit; the lessons of the Immortal Dynasty's predecessors were still fresh in his mind. Although he was not afraid of challenges, he also understood the importance of assessing the situation carefully.

"I understand." He nodded, his expression returning to calm. "Then I will continue my seclusion to prepare for the Great War of the Hundred Dynasties."

Seeing that Lan He agreed, Lan Zhan's eyes showed a look of relief, and he was about to give a few more instructions.

Just then—

"Buzz!"

An extremely faint, strange fluctuation quietly spread throughout the Blue River's Niwan Palace without warning.

Immediately afterwards, a grayish-white urn, almost identical to the previous two, silently and slowly condensed in his Niwan Palace, quietly floating there.

The third urn suddenly appeared at that moment.

Lan He's expression changed slightly. The arrival of an urn often foreshadowed some kind of death. He had already decided not to participate in the exchange war, avoiding external conflicts. Could it be... that other dangers were approaching?

His mind raced, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply said to Lan Zhan and Lan Ying, "Father, Sister Lan Ying, I'll go back to my seclusion now to stabilize my cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhan nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead, I'll have Lan Zhong deliver enough Nirvana Pills to your residence later."

Lan He said no more, nodded slightly to Lan Zhong, and then moved like a streak of light, returning directly to his quiet room.

……

Inside the quiet room, the stone door was tightly shut.

Lan He sat cross-legged, his mind sinking into his Niwan Palace (a point on the back of the head). Without further hesitation, he used his spiritual power to slowly touch the illusory image of the third, quietly floating urn.

"Click."

With a barely audible click, the lid of the box opened.

In an instant, a pure and vast spiritual torrent surged out from the urn, instantly filling the entire Niwan Palace!

At the center of this torrent of spirit, a figure slowly materialized. He wore a simple gray-white robe, and his face bore a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Lan He, but was more mature and reserved. His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and his body was permeated with a pure and extremely powerful spiritual pressure.

He looked at Lanhe quietly, his gaze complex, carrying a hint of scrutiny, a hint of reminiscence, and a hint of emotion.

A calm and distant voice resounded directly in the depths of Lanhe's spirit:

"I am you, the future you. I come from the Divine Sect, one of the eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region."

Upon hearing this, Lan He's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "That sect that specializes in cultivating spiritual power?"

Shenzong Lanhe nodded and said, "That's right. The eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region each have their own traditions: Yuanmen has long since deviated from the righteous path and secretly sided with the alien demons; Jiutian Taiqing Palace has a deep connection with our fathers, but the relationship is complicated and hard to explain; Wankui Sect is skilled in the art of puppet making."

He spoke calmly, as if reciting a familiar story: "Both Fu Valley and my Divine Sect focus on cultivating spiritual power, but with different emphases; the Primordial Palace specializes in physical training, following the path of proving the Dao through strength; the Sword Sect naturally reigns supreme in swordsmanship; as for the Dao Sect... although it has the fewest members, it often produces exceptionally talented individuals, and should not be underestimated."

Lan He listened intently. Although he, as a time traveler, already knew this information, it was not as clear as his future self's understanding.

After he finished speaking, Lan He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked the most crucial question: "Then... how did you perish?"

Upon hearing this, a faint trace of reminiscence and melancholy flashed across Shenzong Lanhe's eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I died at the hands of the Otherworldly Demons. The Three Kings Palace of the Demon Prison personally took action and killed me."

"The Three Kings' Palace of the Demon Prison?" Lan He gasped upon hearing this.

Demon Prison! It is the highest command organization formed by the lurking alien demons after the ancient war. It is jointly controlled by the ten most powerful royal palaces under the alien demon emperor and is the most mysterious and terrifying enemy in the entire Tianxuan Continent.

Among the ten royal palaces, the first one, the Heavenly King Palace, is hailed as the strongest under the Demon Emperor, with unfathomable power.

Although the Three Kings Palace ranks third, its terrifying power is probably only second to the Heavenly Kings Palace and the Two Kings Palace. It is by no means something that ordinary Reincarnation Realm experts can contend with!

The fact that Shenzong Lanhe actually perished at the hands of such an existence... this is likely more than just a simple encounter.

Shenzong Lanhe seemed to see his shock and doubt, and continued calmly, "That was not a coincidence. At that time, I had already advanced to the Reincarnation Realm and touched upon the true meaning of reincarnation, attempting to wield the second Dao Ancestral Symbol, but was inadvertently discovered by the Otherworldly Demons. The Three Great Kings Palaces... personally descended."

His voice remained calm, as if he were recounting a past event unrelated to himself, but the weight contained in his words shook Lan He to his core.

Reincarnation Realm! That is a higher level far beyond the Life Profound Realm and Death Profound Realm. In the Eastern Profound Domain, it is already a top giant, enough to be the leader of a super sect.

Moreover, he has touched upon the true meaning of reincarnation and is even seeking the second Dao Ancestral Talisman!

Even so, facing the combined attack of the three great royal palaces, they still perished...

Lan He took a deep breath, then seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "To take control of the second Ancestral Symbol?"

"Wait, you obtained the Ancestral Stone? If it wasn't tempered by the Ancestral Stone, how could you...?"

At this point, Shenzong Lanhe smiled calmly and asked in return, "Do you know how to achieve the Ancestral Realm?"
