Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”This energy, it seems to have both the calm Wood attribute and the blazing Fire attribute!”

Yun Xiao also sensed this sudden energy, then he looked up to see a middle-aged man with black and white intermixed hair, who was already sitting in one of the seats.

”Hey, Elder Wu Tong arrived quite quickly!”

Meng Liyang from Demons Mountain is obviously fond of talking; he glanced sideways at the middle-aged man with graying hair and immediately informed Xuan Haoran of this person’s origins through his address.

”Greetings to Elder Wu Tong from Firewood Valley!”

As Xuan Haoran bowed in respect, those below, who were experienced and knowledgeable, also deduced the origin of Wu Tong from the words ”Firewood Valley”.

Clearly, Firewood Valley is a renowned force on the Tenglong Continent, it is said that the strong within the valley cultivate both Fire and Wood attributes, using Wood to generate Fire, making the power of the Fire attribute even more formidable.

There is even a saying that to become an elder of Firewood Valley, one must activate a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein and a Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein, otherwise, even reaching the Heavenly Rank Third Realm would not earn one a position as an elder of Firewood Valley.

This was also the reason why everyone felt those strange energies earlier. The Fire and Wood attributes, though opposing, also complement each other, revealing the marvelous powers of heaven and earth, indescribable in mere words.

With the elders from Impermanence Island, Demons Mountain, and Firewood Valley successively arriving, these great powers from Tenglong Continent stirred all the geniuses present to extreme enthusiasm.

Subsequently, several strong practitioners from the sects of Tenglong Continent in the Lower Realm came to observe, and these were none other than famous strong sect practitioners of the Middle Three Realms, exciting everyone tremendously.

After a moment, besides the most remote seat occupied by Xuan Haoran, the other seven seats were taken by strong practitioners from the Tenglong Continent’s Lower Realm.

”Who are the remaining two seats for?”

When people looked at the two central seats, they couldn’t help but speculate. Considering places like Demons Mountain and Impermanence Island were already very powerful sects on the Tenglong Continent, who could possibly hold an even more prestigious position than these sect elders?

Boom!

At that moment, when everyone was filled with doubts, a powerful invisible force suddenly emanated from the sky, pressing down on everyone below.

”It’s the Power of Soul!”

Yun Xiao was the first to sense the details of this energy, and this Power of Soul was incredibly vast. With his current low-level Soul force, he had absolutely no capacity to resist.

As everyone looked up, a tiny black dot appeared in the distant sky, which gradually enlarged; it turned out to be a huge Flying Beast Pulse Demon.

It is worth mentioning that, seated on the back of this Flying Beast Pulse Demon were an old man and a young girl, where the black-clothed old man emanated a majestic aura, suggesting that the invisible force was likely his doing.

Many Meridian Refining Masters were present; what Yun Xiao could sense, they surely could too. From that strong aura of the Power of Soul, they had reason to believe that this was a genuine High-level Pulse Refining Master!

However, many people’s gazes were drawn instantly to the delicate figure beside him; it appeared to be a somewhat frail girl with a slightly pale face, as if she hadn’t seen sunlight for years.

”Could those two middle seats be for them? But where do they come from?”

Some astute observers had already guessed correctly, and sure enough, in the next moment, the old man, along with the girl beside him, leaped down from the back of the Flying Beast Pulse Demon and directly took their seats in the two central chairs.

”Vice Chairman Qian, you came!”

”Greetings to Vice Chairman Qian!”

”Long time no see, Vice Chairman Qian still has his charm!”

”...”

As the old man approached, figures like Elder Gu Hua from Impermanence Island, Elder Meng Liyang from Demons Mountain, and Elder Wu Tong from Firewood Valley, as well as other strong practitioners from Tenglong Continent, all stood up and spoke with great respect.

”How could it be the Vice President himself who came?”

Xuan Haoran was utterly shocked; by then, he knew the identity of this so-called ”Vice Chairman Qian,” but according to the information he had, the Meridian Refining Master Association of Tenglong Continent was supposed to only send a less-ranked elder.

Xuanyue Empire also has branches of the Meridian Refining Master Guild, this special force has always been on par with the Xuanyue Imperial Family, and even subtly holds a higher status.

The reason is because the Meridian Refining Master Guild on the Hidden Dragon Continent is governed by the Meridian Refining Master Association from Tenglong Continent, offending the branch is akin to offending the main association in the Middle Three Realms.

Fortunately, the Meridian Refining Master Guild does not typically interfere in worldly affairs, and to seek their healing services, one only needs to pay a sufficient price. Thus, the Xuanyue Royal Family dares not intervene or meddle.

The status of the Meridian Refining Master Association on Tenglong Continent is much higher than places like Impermanence Island and Demons Mountain. Every Meridian Qi Cultivator, who can guarantee they will not one day seek the Association? Hence, unless absolutely necessary, no one dares to offend the Meridian Refining Master Association.

And as for being the branch chairman of the Meridian Refining Master Association, that is a prestigious position, second only to thousands others. In previous Countries Hidden Dragon Conferences, the Association would only send an elder of lower ranking to observe, sometimes showing no interest at all.

”It turns out to be the Vice President from Tenglong Continent Meridian Refining Master Association, this is quite significant!”

Upon the high platform, while everyone respectfully addressed Vice Chairman Qian, many below realized the significance and their faces showed excitement, particularly some meridian refining geniuses.

Among those who came to participate in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, there were some meridian refining geniuses such as Nie Qianqiu from Lingtian Empire, whom Yun Xiao had once watched passing the low-level spiritual rank meridian refining assessment.

Being able to move from Hidden Dragon Continent to the Meridian Refining Master Association on Tenglong Continent truly meant soaring to the skies, hence at this moment, individuals like Nie Qianqiu were all eager, intending to make a remarkable impression in front of Vice Chairman Qian.

”Vice Chairman Qian, who is this young lady?”

The commotion on the high platform finally came to a pause, and the talkative Meng Liyang from Demons Mountain suddenly tilted his head, expressing his curiosity.

The pale-faced young girl had been silent since her arrival, but her seat was strikingly situated, seemingly overshadowing the other elders from Tenglong Continent.

And which among these elders was an easy person? From what they could sense, the young girl seemed to have just advanced to the Spiritual Rank Three Realms, and probably only had the strength of the Early Stage of Meridian Rushing Realm, right?

With such cultivation, even compared to those talents from Hidden Dragon Continent below, she was far from equal, so why would she occupy the central seat?

Meng Liyang’s words carried a probing intent, but as an elder of Demons Mountain, he naturally had some speculations. The person Vice Chairman Qian personally brought along, how could she be an ordinary individual?

Vice Chairman Qian, named Qian Sanyuan, had a somewhat peculiar name. However, since his rise to fame, no one dared to mock his name anymore, as those who dared to do so ended catastrophically.

This Vice Chairman Qian Sanyuan, indeed, was the one who saw Yun Xiao solve the complications on the Qihuang Stele at the Lingtian Empire Meridian Refining division, leading the team to the Xuanyin Palace.

Due to certain reasons, Qian Sanyuan decided to make a personal trip to the Hidden Dragon Continent during the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference. However, just as he was departing, Master Xue of Xuanyin Palace paid a sudden visit, entrusting him with a task that greatly surprised him.

Despite the significant status of the Xuanyin Palace Master, comparable to sitting on equal terms with the President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, Qian Sanyuan did not refuse and readily agreed.

”Hehe, this young lady is the only beloved daughter of Xuanyin Palace Master Xue: Miss Xue Ningxiang!”

Hearing Meng Liyang’s inquiry, Qian Sanyuan did not keep them guessing. However, as he spoke, the nearby seven powerful representatives from Tenglong Continent, as well as the king from Xuanyue Country, all simultaneously inhaled a breath of cold air.

Even though the Meridian Refining Master Guild holds a special status, this power typically does not manage mundane continental affairs, whether be it on the Hidden Dragon Continent or Tenglong Continent, as long as they are not provoked, they would not easily take action.

But the Xuanyin Palace was different, nearly considered as one of the top forces on Tenglong Continent, with a Palace Master possessing unpredictable, profound strength.

Moreover, Xuanyin Palace’s actions are erratic, entirely based on their own pleasures. Cultivators traversing Tenglong Continent, upon encountering disciples from Xuanyin Palace, would always choose to steer clear around them, indicative of how formidable this power was.

These strong representatives from Tenglong Continent were aware that Master Xue had an only daughter, but observing the pallid yet calm-composed young girl, it didn’t seem to match the information they received.

”Vice Chairman Qian, isn’t the beloved daughter of Master Xue afflicted with... afflicted with Innate Pulse Cutting? How...”

Meng Liyang appeared somewhat at a loss for words, and also seemed fearful of offending the daughter of Master Xue, yet his meaning was already quite clear, causing the others nearby to nod slightly.

”Yes, Vice Chairman Qian, could it be you or the President found a cure for Innate Pulse Cutting?”

The Valley Master of Firewood Valley, Wu Tong, suddenly thought of something, his eyes lighting up as he eagerly asked. With no more doubts, their information regarding Innate Pulse Cutting should be correct.

In fact, that Master Xue’s daughter suffering from Innate Pulse Cutting was no secret on Tenglong Continent, as Master Xue once issued rewards across the continent in hopes of finding an extraordinary individual to cure his only daughter.

The elders of Firewood Valley hold Dual Attributes, and possessing a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein increases the number of meridian refiners. Because of this, they knew just how difficult it is to treat Innate Pulse Cutting.

Even the Valley Master of Firewood Valley once accepted an invitation to Xuanyin Palace, only to return without success. In Wu Tong’s mind, if there was anyone on Tenglong Continent who could devise a treatment for Innate Pulse Cutting, it would likely be the President of the Meridian Refining Master Association.
