Chapter 237: Five-Star Dou Sheng, Demon Fire Descends!

Under a single glance from Hun Tiandi, all the Soul Clan Elders in the great hall retreated.

"Void, right now we can only wait. Gu Yuan has been monitoring our clan this entire time; it is very difficult to silently slaughter the other Ancient Races right under his nose..."

Hun Tiandi said in a grave tone.

He did not understand why, for so many years, the Ancient Clan had always sought stability while simultaneously being arrogant and conceited, ignoring everything.

How had their way of doing things changed completely now? Could it be that the Soul Clan's schemes of so many years had already been exposed to the Ancient Clan? "Hun Tiandi, I said long ago that your clan's mid-level members should not know too much; who knows when they might leak the entire plan..."

Void Swallowing Flame also realized this point.

At this moment, his tone carried a hint of blame.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi frowned imperceptibly, clearly displeased.

Did this Void Swallowing Flame really think of himself as the master of the Soul Clan? "If it weren't for the fact that you are still useful..."

Hun Tiandi murmured in his heart, hiding the chill within.

At least for now, Void Swallowing Flame could not die; dealing with the other clans still required Void Swallowing Flame to play a key role.

"The final plan is known only to the true high-level members of the clan; leaking it is impossible. It should just be groundless suspicion..."

"Once some time passes, Gu Yuan naturally won't take this matter seriously!" Hun Tiandi explained patiently.

Void Swallowing Flame knew Hun Tiandi's strength, so he did not press too hard at this moment.

"That brat from the Ancient Clan should be dealt with as soon as possible. Such monstrous talent—even I feel a bit afraid..."

Void Swallowing Flame said at the end.

Having lived for endless years, his saying such things carried a lot of weight.

To reach Four-Star Dou Sheng at twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and be a Ninth-Grade Alchemist as well—even in the ancient era, this would be a person of stunning talent.

"As for this matter, that brat Miesheng should be able to handle it well!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently: "Doesn't that little brat from the Ancient Clan need Exotic Fire? When the Demon Fire descends into the world, that will be the time of his death!"

"Hun Miesheng? Demon Fire..."

Hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Void Swallowing Flame was initially somewhat skeptical, but then he suddenly thought of something and nodded lightly.

Ancient Realm.

The mountain peak where Gu Fei resided.

In a flash, one year passed.

As for the matters regarding the Soul Hall stirring up hegemony on the continent, Gu Fei had mentioned it once and then stopped paying attention; those small matters could be resolved by the Ancient Clan simply sending out a few people.

What he needed to do now was to improve his cultivation.

One day, on this mountain peak, the energy of heaven and earth began to gather in large quantities.

Inside the quiet room, Gu Fei sat cross-legged in silence; his heart had already been replaced by the Bodhi Heart, and green light flowed over his body.

In the quiet room, a strange rushing sound suddenly appeared.

That sound was like flowing water.

The source of the sound was, shockingly, inside Gu Fei's body.

As that rushing sound emerged, the space around Gu Fei suddenly fluctuated violently, and strands of tangible energy actually condensed into wind vortices, circling around his body and emitting a whistling wind sound.

The speed of the wind vortices grew faster and faster, and later on, more and more energy poured into the quiet room, being sucked into the wind vortices.

"Bang!"

The sturdy quiet room was torn to shreds after the volume of the wind vortex increased, and blinding light poured down from outside, shining in. "It seems Father is going to break through again!"

In the sky above the mountain, Wushuang's face revealed a touch of reverence; the more he grew up, the more he understood his father's strength and excellence.

However, as the son of the Ancient Clan's number one genius, Wushuang's talent, as it appeared now, did not lose to Gu Fei's when he was young, and even surpassed it somewhat.

"Husband is going to break through again!"

Xiao Yixian brought Xianle to the mid-air to watch; during this period, Zi Yan and Cai'er had successively gone into seclusion and were not in the Ancient Realm, so she was the one managing this small family alone.

Fortunately, the children had all grown up, and with Qing Lin and Ling Xi there, everything was very good.

Under the gaze of Xiao Yixian and the others, the energy pouring from heaven and earth into the wind vortex became increasingly terrifying.

Later on, the wind vortex even became viscous, and vaguely, drops of liquid energy floated around the wind vortex, gradually diffusing a terrifying fluctuation that moved people as the vortex rotated.

As more and more energy condensed into energy droplets, the energy wind vortex gradually evolved into a water vortex of energy.

In just a few minutes, the final bit of energy was also condensed into a drop of liquid energy, merging into the massive water vortex.

"Boom!"

As the wind vortex completely transformed into an energy water vortex, the entire water vortex trembled fiercely.

Immediately, Gu Fei, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura erupted.

This powerful aura could barely squeeze into the top ten even within the Ancient Realm.

"The Young Clan Leader's strength has become stronger again!"

"I estimate that in not many years, the Young Clan Leader will be able to rival Elder Gudao!"

"Elder Gudao is a Seven-Star Dou Saint; when that time really comes, the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan will become the Four Immortals of the Ancient Clan!"

Around the mountain peak, many young people of the Ancient Clan, including the Gu Clan Elders, all had eyes filled with reverence.

"Not yet thirty, and his cultivation has climbed to Five-Star Dou Sheng; it won't be long before this brat can reach a cultivation similar to mine..."

Gu Lie sensed the aura of Gu Fei's breakthrough from afar, his old eyes full of gratification.

"Hum hum..."

At the same time, on Xun Er's mountain peak, the energy of heaven and earth also surged rapidly.

"Miss Xun Er is going to break through to Half-Saint!"

Although the signs of Xun Er's breakthrough were much milder than Gu Fei's, she still received the attention of some members of the Ancient Clan at this moment.

In the sky, Xun Er appeared after the breakthrough; at this moment, her cheeks were filled with a sense of vigor and confidence.

At her age, to possess the cultivation of a Half-Saint is already outstanding.

"Such a young Saint, Miss Xun Er is truly worthy of her God-Grade Bloodline..."

"Although there is a vast gap compared to the Young Clan Leader, she is still far stronger than us..."

"Finally, I have broken through to the Half-Saint stage!"

Xun Er felt her own cultivation, unable to stop the excitement in her heart.

"The Ancient Clan is truly worthy of being hailed as the strongest of the Ancient Races in the world today; not only do they have a peerless talent like my master, but the others are also very strong..."

Ling Xi stood beside Xian Le, her gaze filled with yearning; the Spirit Clan where she resided had long seen its bloodline power begin to wither, growing worse year by year, and if no monstrously talented clansman appeared, it would likely decline into obscurity in a few hundred years.

She would not have thought that if not for her master, the entire Spirit Clan would likely no longer exist by now, and the descendants of the clan would all have been imprisoned by the Soul Clan.
