All eyes were on Ye Xuan in the forbidden area. His next words would determine the fate of the Gui Yuan Sect.
As for killing Ye Xuan and seizing his treasures.
Were they kidding?
Don't be foolish. Even if they could kill Ye Xuan, they probably wouldn't get what they wanted. In fact, it would be the most foolish course of action.
Of course, Dongfang Wenren and his group knew that Ye Xuan possessed a pagoda that could alter the flow of time. If he hid within it, who among them could possibly kill him? It was unlikely that even Dongfang Wenren, a peak third-tier Dao Ancestor, could succeed.
"Heh, since Senior Wenren is amenable, the Xuan Alliance certainly welcomes all of you."
With the system's missions in mind, Ye Xuan continued, "However... although I am the leader of the Xuan Alliance, I only wish to have one guardian for the protective faction. Therefore..."
"It seems the position of Xuan Alliance Guardian can only be held by Senior Wenren. As for the rest of you seniors, would you be willing to serve as Grand Elders? What do you say?"
"Hahahaha~~"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Dongfang Wenren laughed heartily, "Of course, no problem."
The other old ancestors of the Gui Yuan Sect also smiled slightly, clearly not too concerned about their titles. Their primary focus was on breaking through realms and improving their strength; nothing else mattered.
However, Ye Xuan's words filled Long Yan with immense gratitude!
To think that he, currently a peak sixth-tier Void Ancestor, could be crushed by Dongfang Wenren with a single finger. To be a Grand Elder of the Xuan Alliance alongside such a formidable figure put an unprecedented pressure on him.
Amidst the pressure, there was even more emotion. He never expected Ye Xuan to retain his position as a Xuan Alliance Guardian.
Long Yan secretly took a deep breath, the immense pressure settling onto his shoulders. He had to reach the Dao Ancestor realm at all costs!
Only then could he live up to the leader's expectations!
Ye Xuan, unaware of Long Yan's gratitude and emotions, curved his lips into an almost imperceptible smile.
"Since that is the case, the Xuan Alliance welcomes everyone's joining."
Without any delay, Ye Xuan directly accepted Dongfang Wenren and his group. His demeanor was so calm and serene, as if he were discussing a trivial matter. It was precisely this composure that made Dongfang Shuobai's expression even more solemn.
My heavens, all the old ancestors of the Gui Yuan Sect had just joined the Xuan Alliance?
Did this mean that the Gui Yuan Sect was now a subordinate force of the Xuan Alliance, just like the Long Yang Empire?
If this news were to spread to the outside world, it would surely cause immense chaos!
What a joke!
The Gui Yuan Sect was one of the ten great powers in the Silver River Empire. Yet, all its top combatants had joined a little-known Xuan Alliance.
"From now on, we are all family. So, I will give all of you seniors a gift."
Ye Xuan was certainly not stingy with his family. Then, over a hundred elixirs appeared precisely before everyone, with a brocade box in front of each person.
"Oh!?"
Dongfang Wenren saw the brocade box before him and opened it with a hint of anticipation and curiosity. However, the moment the box revealed a sliver of its contents, an intensely concentrated elixir fragrance instantly filled every corner of the forbidden area.
"Hiss... This is~!!"
"My goodness, just from a hint of opening, it's like this... This~"
Undoubtedly, a single whiff was enough to make them feel refreshed and invigorated, proving the extraordinary nature of the elixir in Senior Wenren's brocade box. However, the most shocked among them was Long Yan, his face now a mask of horror.
"This elixir concentration is so potent!"
"It's so much stronger than a breaking ancestor pill, I can't even begin to imagine. Senior Wenren is clearly in the Dao Ancestor realm, could it be...?"
With this thought, he looked again at the brocade box in Dongfang Wenren's hand, and Long Yan felt as though he was about to explode. "The Breaking Dao Pill!!"
"No way, the leader he... actually has a Breaking Dao Pill to advance one level in the Dao Ancestor realm? My goodness!?"
While Long Yan was still in shock, Dongfang Wenren had already opened the brocade box, and the intensely rich elixir fragrance assaulted their senses. They had never seen or heard of such a potent elixir aroma.
"This... is the Breaking Dao Pill??"
Gulp~
Even the mighty Dongfang Wenren couldn't help but swallow. Good heavens, he truly didn't expect the Gui Yuan Sect's fortuitous encounter, or rather, his own fortuitous encounter, to arrive so quickly.
Impatiently!
Dongfang Wenren consumed the Breaking Dao Pill. With a thousand years of accumulation, who knew what he had endured over the past millennium.
Boom!!!
With one Breaking Dao Pill, it was like the last straw that broke the dam of breakthrough confinement. With a thousand years of accumulation, Dongfang Wenren's aura instantly intensified, and he directly entered the peak fourth-tier Dao Ancestor realm.
However...
The medicinal power of the Breaking Dao Pill continued to exert its effects. After all, the suppression of Dongfang Wenren's thousand years of realm accumulation had reached an extremely terrifying level. This was merely the beginning, and even a tenth of the Breaking Dao Pill's medicinal power had not yet been utilized.
Even so!
Dongfang Wenren's aura grew stronger at a visible pace, and he soon reached the peak fourth-tier Dao Ancestor realm.
This change utterly stunned everyone in the forbidden area. Subsequently, they couldn't help but grip the brocade boxes in their hands. Damn it, this elixir is truly terrifying!
A quarter of an hour later!
Dongfang Wenren's aura suddenly strengthened again, ultimately reaching the absolute peak of the fourth-tier Dao Ancestor realm. It could be said that he had maximized the medicinal power of the Breaking Dao Pill.
"Hahahahaha~~"
After breaking through, Dongfang Wenren's once white hair had darkened considerably, indicating that the breakthrough in his realm had significantly extended his lifespan.
His hearty laughter reverberated, and he clenched his fists, feeling the surging power. "Absolute peak fourth-tier Dao Ancestor, tsk tsk~~"
"Indeed, I am far stronger than before!!"
Dongfang Wenren's lips curved into an arc. With his current realm, he could at least rank among the top ten Dao Ancestor powerhouses in the entire Silver River Empire. Furthermore, his improvement could elevate the Gui Yuan Sect to a top five, or even top three, existence.
"Thank you, Young Friend Ye, or rather, great leader!"
Dongfang Wenren bowed piously, completely unconcerned about his current absolute peak fourth-tier Dao Ancestor realm.
"We thank the great leader for his benevolence!!"
Upon witnessing their ancestor's realm surge, even the most foolish of the Gui Yuan Sect's old ancestors understood the extraordinary nature of the elixirs in their hands. Damn it, this was truly a divine elixir, its medicinal power was divine and unparalleled!
"There's no need for such formality, esteemed seniors. We are family, so no need for unnecessary words."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. In his eyes, the elixirs he had just distributed were merely a small expenditure of Silver River Coins, no different from candy. Even if there were ten, a hundred, or even a thousand breaking ancestor pills, he could obtain them with a mere thought if he so desired.
Of course, if Dongfang Wenren and the others knew this, they might try to kill Ye Xuan and steal his system to have their own chance at defying fate~~
