Chapter 33: My Master, the Eternal Emperor!
An Family’s Ancestral Grounds!
Inside an ancient hall.
The three senior ancestors of the An family had taken up residence here after emerging from seclusion.
At this moment, An Shanyuan arrived.
The news he brought caused a surge of excitement among the younger generations of the An family.
They would challenge the alliance of many forces in the cultivation world with the strength of their clan alone.
What a grand feat was this?!!
What a bold move was this!!
This was a last resort, but it indeed greatly boosted the morale and cohesion of the An family members.
Of course, most of the older generation who knew some of the inside story still felt heavy-hearted.
They knew that this calamity had only just begun…
An Shanyuan came to the place where the senior ancestors were residing and reported today’s situation to the three senior ancestors of the An family.
He recounted everything in meticulous detail.
Suddenly, An Yudu, the eldest of the three senior ancestors known for his hot temper, flashed a murderous intent in his eyes.
“Hmph!”
“Ye Qingge, Liyue Celestial Dynasty, very well!”
“If my An family can survive this calamity, I will certainly march to your doorstep and exterminate the Liyue Celestial Dynasty!”
An Yudu’s killing intent burst forth, and a trace of aura leaking out made An Yushan step back several paces beside him.
He looked horrified!
An Shanyuan knew that the three senior ancestors were of outstanding cultivation, having long been at the Great Ascension Period.
But this time after emerging from seclusion,
he wasn’t sure if their strength had greatly improved after such a long period of seclusion.
Because, as one cultivated deeper, higher realms could not simply be achieved by prolonged seclusion; some people might even close themselves off for thousands of years yet make no progress in their cultivation.
But at this moment, An Yudu displayed at least the late stage of the Great Ascension Period cultivation level.
Even breaking through to the Transcendence realm was just a hair’s breadth away!
An Shanyuan felt reassured and congratulated him, “Congratulations on your significant advancement in cultivation, Senior An. With this, our An family will surely weather this calamity!”
After a moment of silence.
The eldest, An Yujun, waved his hand and said, “Shanyuan, you may leave now!”
An Shanyuan bowed and took his leave!
In the vast hall, only the three senior ancestors of the An family remained.
An Yujun looked at his two younger brothers and shook his head, saying somewhat regretfully:
“This time, we must win, no room for defeat!”
“Pity, with our current strength, it’s still impossible to secure a sure victory!”
Just as An Yudu was about to speak,
An Yujun interrupted him, saying, “Don’t underestimate the cultivators across the land!”
“For instance, a Great Emperor appeared just the other day!”
At this point, An Yuheng, who was usually silent, also spoke up:
“That’s right. Now, all three of us brothers are only at the late stage of the Great Ascension Period. It’s difficult to win at least two matches.”
After these words, silence fell over the hall.
A hint of reluctance flickered across the faces of the three senior ancestors. If they had more time, they could definitely break through to the Transcendence realm!
By then, having three emperors in one family would be unimaginable. The glory of the An family would reach new heights.
Unfortunately, now, due to a mere diary, everything has fallen apart.
After a long while.
Outside the window, the moon was already high in the sky.
An Yujun’s eyes flashed with determination as he said solemnly, “There’s no other way now. We can only go all out!”
After his words, a serious look appeared on the faces of the three.
An Yuheng took a deep breath and said, “Brother, are you talking about using that thing?”
“That means we have no other choice!”
An Yudu’s face alternated between dark and bright, his eyes flashing with indecision.
“Sigh…”
An Yujun sighed again but said firmly, “We’ve had no other choice for a long time. This is the only thing we can do now!”
“No matter what, it’s a fight to the d*ath.”
An Yudu clenched his teeth and said, “That’s right. If we refine this ‘foreign species’ to forcefully break through to the Transcendence realm, there’s still a chance of survival.”
“As long as we control it properly and don’t expose it, others won’t be able to detect anything…”
At this moment, a cool night breeze blew in.
An Yujun nodded and said, “Let’s do it then. We only have three days left.”
“Make haste!”
Shortly after, the three senior ancestors each departed to head to the deepest part of the family grounds for seclusion.
—
The next day.
Among the mountains surrounding Cangwu Mountain.
All the forces that had come this time gathered together, sending representatives to the largest peak.
Crowds filled both the ground and the sky.
Various flying magic treasures floated in the air.

Strange and varied shapes.
The purpose of gathering here was naturally to decide who would face the three senior ancestors of the An family.
This was a major event.
At this time, most people were just there to watch the spectacle.
Everyone knew that the three chosen individuals would undoubtedly come from the top-tier major forces.
Only those top-tier forces had the capability to deal with the three senior ancestors of the An family.
For ordinary people, going would be no different from s*icide.
And in a corner of the sky…
On a magic treasure the size of several feet resembling a leaf, Ye Xi and Qiao Xi sat facing each other.
In front of them, there was a large iron pot.
The soup inside was boiling vigorously, emitting smoke and fragrant steam.
Around it, various slices of meat, spiritual fruits, and vegetables were placed.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and smiled, “How fragrant! What’s this?”
Ye Xi chuckled and said, “Never tried before? This is called hotpot. After the water boils, put the ingredients in and cook them…”
“It’s truly the best in the world!”
Qiao Xi touched her slightly round waist and couldn’t help asking, “Where did you get all these strange eating methods?”
“Hehe, it’s something I created myself. Hurry up and eat!”
“I’m telling you, hotpot must be eaten when it’s hot.”
The two ignored the astonished looks of others and started eating with great relish.
Below.
On the summit of the mountain peak, a piece of open space had been cleared.
At this moment, dozens of figures formed a semicircle, sitting on chairs.
Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge were among them.
After several rounds of discussion,
two candidates had been successfully selected.
The first was the mysterious Great Emperor shrouded in black mist.
A Great Emperor willing to personally intervene,
naturally, no one would object, and there was no controversy.
The second was the Grand Elder Cangyuan of the Jade Pool Sacred Land.
Cangyuan’s formidable strength was beyond doubt. In the Great Ascension realm, he was a top-notch existence.
After battling several Great Emperors from other forces,
he emerged victorious in every match.
Thus, this candidate was confirmed.
The final slot, however, caused everyone considerable difficulty.
Not because there were no candidates left.
Rather, both Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge insisted on participating, vying for this last slot.
Regarding the strength of these two…
No one questioned it much, but they were unwilling to yield to each other, ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
Ye Qingge said coldly:
“The last slot is mine. Your Jade Pool Sacred Land already has one participant. Do you want to monopolize all the slots?”
Yuan Ruoyu’s aura flared up as she said lightly, “Everything depends on strength. If your Celestial Dynasty has someone who can defeat Cangyuan, let them come forward!”
Ye Qingge was furious, “I’ll fight you!”
Yuan Ruoyu’s aura surged, “Hmph, I’m not afraid!”
Seeing that the two were really about to fight, the others hurriedly intervened.
“Watch your influence! Watch your influence!”
If these two started fighting, it would severely affect the morale of the allied forces!
Actually, both of them were so determined to compete because they had placed all their hopes on Lin Feng, and they didn’t trust anyone else.
Otherwise, given their exalted status, they wouldn’t engage in such a fierce conflict.
“The last slot is mine!”
“Fight if you want, no need for words!”
Just as the two were about to start fighting again, everyone hurriedly pulled them apart.
At the same time, Qiao Xi, stirring the hotpot, excitedly said, “Look, they’re about to fight!”
Ye Xi looked closely, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and muttered inwardly that he almost missed the important matter due to his enjoyment!
He glanced at Qiao Xi and urgently said, “They’re really going to fight. I need to stop them. Eat first!”
“Ai—”
Qiao Xi opened her mouth but hadn’t spoken yet when she noticed that Ye Xi was already gone.
She turned around and saw his figure already blocking between Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge.
Ye Xi’s sudden appearance startled everyone.
Because this handsome young man’s appearance was so unexpected that no one in the audience could sense his aura.
Even Cangyuan was no exception!
Ye Xi clasped his hands and pleaded, “Could the two of you give me a face and stop fighting?”
Ye Qingge’s expression turned grave, “Who are you?”
Yuan Ruoyu also frowned and said, “Are you also vying for this slot?”
Ye Xi hesitated for a moment before answering, “You might not have heard of my name…”
Immediately, he used secret techniques to transmit voice messages to Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge.
He continued, “My master is the Eternal Emperor!”
