“Sir!”
“Sir, you’ve finally returned! We’ve waited for you for so, so long!”
As Fang Yan’s Ancient Ancestor aura surged outwards, many of the old ancestors felt a certain lock within their bodies shatter. Memories flooded back.
It was a known truth that in this realm, the Ancient Ancestor Realm was the pinnacle. In the Ancient Epoch, during the Star Sea War, though Sir’s faction wasn’t the strongest, Sir had imbued all those who fell with Reincarnation Power. This Reincarnation Power transcended the Ancient Ancestor Realm itself, a force even the Ancient Ancestors of the Eerie Race couldn’t erase. Furthermore, to prevent retaliation from the Eerie Race, Sir had effortlessly laid down Confinement Power. After their deaths, Fang Yan and the others became undetectable, immune to further annihilation.
Recalling these truths, the many old ancestors of the Panshi Sect were utterly awestruck. “Sir’s greatness… it needs no words!” This was a grand scheme spanning endless ages! Sir was truly the paramount figure of the entire Fallen Star Sea!
A moment later, Fang Yan gave some quick instructions, then tore through the starry sky, heading to rendezvous with Ji Fuyao and the others.
“Boom!” “Crack!”
Fang Yan had once ascended to the Ancient Ancestor Realm through the Body Tempering Dao! Now, soaring through the air with pure physical might, his body was like a divine weapon, shattering the surrounding space with every movement. Even distant stars trembled under the terrifying surge of his vital energy! Immersed in boundless power, each step spanned a star, terrifying beyond measure!
…
Deep within the void of the Blazeforce Sect.
Ji Fuyao, clad in a fiery red gown, was wreathed in a Sea of Spirit Fire, burning like a Great Sun amidst the starry expanse. Beside her, Ye Chen, in his white robes, exuded an unparalleled elegance. His Martial Dao power blazed like countless stars, his Martial Dao Furnace roaring with intense heat.
Ji Fuyao gazed into the distance. “I sense Fang Yan, Luo Lingkong, and Liu Xuan approaching,” she told Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled. “Finally, we’ll all be together. Big Senior Sister, do you think Master is watching us from afar?”
Ji Fuyao’s chest rose and fell with a soft laugh. “Of course. Master watches over us constantly. With a mere thought, he can see us.”
Ye Chen sighed. “The Star Sea War is about to begin, yet my Alchemy Dao hasn’t reached its peak. It’s a bit regrettable.”
Ji Fuyao chuckled. “In the dark, there is destiny. Last life, you wanted to become an Ancestor in Alchemy Dao too, but time ran out. This life, however, after we’ve annihilated those traitors and the Eerie Race, you can strive for the Alchemy Martial Ancient Ancestor Realm.”
Ye Chen clenched his fist. “This life, I will become an Alchemy Martial Ancient Ancestor! I am the Alchemy Martial Ancient Ancestor!”
Before long. “Boom! Boom! Boom!”
From three distant points in the starry sky, three Ancient Ancestor auras erupted: Illusion Dao! Sword Dao! Body Tempering Dao! It was Luo Lingkong, Fang Yan, and Liu Xuan.
Moments later, the three of them tore through space, appearing before Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen.
Liu Xuan, with vibrant petals dancing beneath her jade-like feet, conjured a path of blossoms and rushed straight towards Ji Fuyao. The two embraced, their full figures like two blooming flowers—one voluptuous and alluring, the other radiant and bright. Their chests rose and fell like ripples, a sight almost too beautiful to behold!
Luo Lingkong and Fang Yan, meanwhile, headed directly for Ye Chen.
“Boom!” Fang Yan clapped a fist onto Ye Chen’s shoulder, roaring, “Aargh! Ye Chen, should I call you Junior Brother Ye Chen, or Senior Brother Ye Chen?” After all, by the Grand Dao Sect’s seniority in this life, Ye Chen was his junior brother. But according to the Ancient Epoch, their first lives, where “achievers first” was the rule, they would have to call Ye Chen “Senior Brother.”
Ye Chen chuckled, “Don’t worry about it, anything works. Junior Brother Fang Yan.”
Fang Yan’s face twitched. “Alright, Junior Brother Ye Chen, you’ve got a point.”
“Junior Brother!” “Junior Brother!” “Junior Brother!” … The two bickered endlessly.
Luo Lingkong’s lips curved slightly as he pulled them apart. “Alright, alright. Just call each other what you like.”
To the side, Ji Fuyao and Liu Xuan slowly separated, tears welling up in their eyes again. They looked at Ye Chen and the other two, gently chiding, “So childish!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Just then, Luo Lingkong asked, “By the way, Big Senior Sister, where are Baili and Wuwu? I can’t sense any activity from them.” They all possessed Sir’s Reincarnation Power, allowing them to sense each other. But in this part of the starry sky, they couldn’t detect Wuwu or Baili’s auras.
Ji Fuyao’s eyes flickered as she gazed into the distant cosmos. There, Wuwu was cultivating in the Du’e Temple. Xuanji Holy Lord Baili was cultivating in the Eerie Sect.
Ye Chen explained, “We can’t sense them because Wuwu and Baili haven’t reached the Ancient Ancestor Realm yet, nor have they awakened their past lives’ Ancient Ancestor remnant souls!”
Suddenly, Luo Lingkong frowned. “Oh no! The Eerie Sect is Eerie Plateau territory. Will Baili be alright?”
Ji Fuyao tilted her graceful neck, shaking her head. “She should be fine. If Fourth Junior Sister were in trouble, Master would surely intervene! Besides, the Ancient Ancestors of the Eerie Race should know Baili’s identity. In the Ancient Epoch, Junior Sister Baili ventured into the Eerie Plateau to cultivate the Eerie Dao, and the Eerie Race didn’t stop her. They are incredibly arrogant, you see, and look down on cultivators from our Star Sea!”
Luo Lingkong mused, “That’s true. But Sir also gave them a rude awakening. They never imagined Sir could contend with the entire Eerie Plateau single-handedly!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ji Fuyao declared, “In that case, this battle is ours to fight! I’m sure Baili and Wuwu will awaken their Ancient Ancestor memories soon enough.”
The others nodded. “Tamamo-no-Mae and Ancient Ancestor Tianzhao must have been waiting for us for a long time.”
Ji Fuyao commanded, “Let’s go!”
In an instant, Ji Fuyao and the four others tore through the void! “Boom!” “Crack!” Five Ancient Ancestor Daos blazed forth almost simultaneously, igniting the heavens and earth. Though only Ancient Ancestor remnant souls resided within them, they now possessed full Ancient Ancestor combat power!
In that moment, the entire Fallen Star Sea erupted in a frenzy.
“What’s happening? Why are there more Ancient Ancestors appearing in the Second Star Ring?”
“This is Illusion Dao, Sword Dao, Body Tempering Dao… Could the Qianhuan Sect Ancestor and the others still be alive?”
“Terrifying! Is the Star Sea War about to break out?!”
…
First Star Ring.
During this time, Ancient Ancestor Mei had been searching for the reborn Innate Ancient Ancestors! Innate Ancient Ancestors, after all, were born almost alongside heaven and earth. Though they had been annihilated by Sir in that ancient war, with Sir’s disappearance, the power suppressing their rebirth had steadily crumbled, allowing them to begin their resurgence!
At this moment, Ancient Ancestor Mei suddenly turned her head towards Liu Xuan’s direction, sensing another surge of Illusion Dao power! A slight smile played on her lips. “The Star Sea War is about to begin anew!”
