After Mo Yu and Cai Lin returned to the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, the powerful figures within the clan immediately appeared. However, when they saw Cai Lin, the wariness in their eyes turned into shock.
"Take us to see the Patriach and the Elders." Cai Lin waved her jade-like hand and spoke calmly.
These individuals were enforcers of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, all possessing formidable strength and higher seniority than Cai Lin. In the past, their power had surpassed hers by a considerable margin.
However, now that they saw Cai Lin again, they were overwhelmed by the oppressive aura she naturally exuded. It left them speechless, filling them with silent shock. This was a pressure they had only ever felt from the clan's elders before.
In just a year, how had Cai Lin's strength grown to such an extent?
They exchanged glances, full of questions, but ultimately dared not ask. Instead, they quickly turned around and led the way.
When Patriach Mang Cang and the elders of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan saw Cai Lin and Mo Yu standing in the great hall, their expressions, as expected, were filled with astonishment.
"Cai Lin, you…" Mang Cang couldn't help but speak up. In just one year, Cai Lin had jumped from a Seventh Grade Supreme to a Ninth Grade Supreme?!
And Mo Yu had similarly advanced from Sixth Grade Supreme to Ninth Grade Supreme.
Such an enormous leap in power was enough to shock even the well-experienced Mang Cang.
Cai Lin smiled faintly and said, "I obtained the inherited blood essence of the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python, while Mo Yu acquired the blood essence of the Primordial Ancestral Ape. Additionally, both of us received guidance from the Beast Ancestor."
"The Heaven Swallowing Python Beast Ancestor and the Primordial Ancestral Ape Beast Ancestor?!"
Hearing this, even though they had already learned of it from the earlier return of the Mang Lie siblings, the high-ranking members of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan still couldn't suppress their exclamations.
After all, those names were anything but unfamiliar to them. They were two of the three Beast Ancestors of the Ancient Era's Divine Beast Origin, genuine Heavenly Supremes.
"It's said that the inherited blood essence of the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python was obtained after defeating Xue Ming, correct?" Mang Cang asked. By now, he no longer had any doubts about what Mang Lie and his sister had reported earlier.
Realizing that Cai Lin had obtained the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python's inherited blood essence, perfecting her bloodline, even he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
If this were true, then Cai Lin might very well become the first in tens of thousands of years to successfully evolve into an Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python.
If that happened, the status of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan would rise dramatically. Even the supreme divine beast clans would have to acknowledge them.
"Haha, many thanks to Mo Yu for his assistance."
After expressing his emotions, Mang Cang turned to Mo Yu and cupped his hands in gratitude.
From what Mang Lie and his sister had said, Mo Yu had played a crucial role in Cai Lin obtaining the inherited blood essence of the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python. In a sense, everything Cai Lin had gained was thanks to him.
"Haha, Patriach Mang, there's no need for such courtesy. After all, Cai Lin is my wife. Everything I do for her is simply my duty," Mo Yu said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, the corners of Cai Lin's lips curled up slightly, and her gaze toward Mo Yu was filled with tenderness.
"It seems Cai Lin has indeed found a reliable partner…" Mang Cang said with a smile.
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "After discussing it among ourselves, we have decided to invite you to become an elder of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan. What do you think?"
Both Mo Yu and Cai Lin were momentarily taken aback.
Within the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, even the weakest high-ranking elders needed to be at the Earthly Supreme level. Of course, Mo Yu possessed this strength—his main body had already reached the Greater Earthly Supreme level.
However, Mo Yu was not originally from the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, making Mang Cang's sudden invitation surprising.
This elder position carried significant influence. If Mo Yu managed it well, the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan could become a powerful support for his Thunder Prison.
Based on his speculation, there was a high chance that the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan had a hidden Heavenly Supreme, albeit a weaker one.
Even so, this still made them a formidable force.
Such a backing would be extremely valuable to Mo Yu in the future. So, after only a moment of hesitation, he clasped his hands and smiled.
"I have no objections."
Seeing Mo Yu accept, Mang Cang and the elders sighed in relief. Their gazes toward Mo Yu softened considerably, even showing hints of closeness.
"Oh, by the way, not long ago, Prison Lord of Thunder Prison—your true body—sent a message for you," Mang Cang suddenly said, raising his hand and sending a jade slip flying toward Mo Yu.
Mo Yu caught it and crushed it with his palm. As the message entered his mind, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The jade slip contained only a single sentence, yet it sent waves through his heart.
"The Ancient Thunder Palace is about to emerge. Return immediately!"
Skylaw Continent, Blood Rock Realm
Ever since Thunder Prison unified the Blood Rock Realm, the top forces of the Northern Region had maintained a respectful attitude toward its ruler, Mo Yu.
After all, Mo Yu was now the only person in the Blood Rock Realm who had stepped into the Greater Earthly Supreme level.
With his power, he had already secured a place in the vast Skylaw Continent.
Even though Thunder Prison had shown no signs of expansion, everyone knew of its immense potential. In just a few months, its forces had expanded at an unprecedented pace, attracting countless strong individuals. As a result, Thunder Prison had quickly risen to prominence.
Its name had spread so far that even the top factions in other regions of the Skylaw Continent had heard of it. In the Blood Rock Realm, a new power was rapidly emerging.
However, few knew that the Lord of Thunder Prison was not currently in the Skylaw Continent.
Atop a misty green peak, a lone figure sat cross-legged at the summit.
Clouds and mist swirled through the sky, seemingly shifting with his breath.
Around him, space distorted continuously, making his figure flicker in and out of existence as if he were about to vanish into the river of time itself.
This silent meditation had lasted for an unknown period of time when suddenly, he opened his tightly shut eyes. His silver lightning-infused pupils swept out with an endless might of thunder, causing even the towering mountain beneath him to tremble slightly.
The boundless spiritual energy surrounding him, as vast as the sea, roared violently and transformed into a massive rainbow of energy spanning tens of thousands of feet. In the next moment, as he opened his mouth, it was completely absorbed into his body.
After taking in such an immense amount of spiritual energy, the silver eyes of the handsome young man seemed to brighten slightly before gradually returning to a state of calm.
This person was none other than Mo Yu himself. His cultivation at the Greater Earthly Supreme level exuded an overwhelming pressure, and his terrifying thunderous aura made him seem like the Thunder God incarnate!
In the next moment, Mo Yu formed a seal with his hands, and the space behind him suddenly shattered. From within the fractured void, a towering silver thunder pagoda, tens of thousands of feet tall, emerged.
The massive pagoda was covered in ancient runes that seemed to be forged from lightning itself. Each flicker of these runes triggered a terrifying storm of thunder.
This was the very silver pagoda that Mo Yu had obtained from the hands of the Thunder Saint in the past.
Mo Yu gazed at the runes on the surface of the silver pagoda, his silver eyes gleaming as if he were calculating something. He remained in this state of deep contemplation for an entire month without moving.
Then, on a certain day after a month had passed, Mo Yu's body suddenly trembled. His head jerked up as his silver eyes locked onto the silver pagoda. At that moment, the lightning on the pagoda suddenly began to vibrate violently.
Moments later, the lightning detached itself from the pagoda and gathered in the sky, forming an intricate constellation-like pattern of dazzling lightning.
Mo Yu stared at the mysterious star map, and for the first time, a hint of surprise and joy appeared on his otherwise calm face. His gaze shot towards the distant east, as if piercing through endless space.
"Is the Ancient Thunder Palace finally about to appear?"
As this thought crossed his mind, Mo Yu's silver eyes narrowed slightly before he commanded in a deep voice, "Elder Qing, immediately mobilize the forces of the Thunder Prison. The Heavenly Thunder Continent will be our path forward."
"Understood."
The moment Mo Yu's voice fell, a figure in a green robe appeared. It was none other than the Wind Emperor.
He took one look at Mo Yu, and even his aged eyes revealed a trace of awe. The current Mo Yu had grown even stronger, to the point where even he could not fathom his true power.
However, the Wind Emperor also felt gratified. After all, they both hailed from the Dou Qi Continent. Mo Yu's incredible achievements brought him a sense of shared pride.
...
At the same time that Mo Yu sensed something through the silver pagoda, far in the eastern regions of the Heavenly Thunder Continent lay a land of thunder, a domain completely shrouded by raging lightning.
The lightning there was so terrifying that even an ordinary Supreme expert would be unable to withstand it. Thunderstorms raged across the sky, and any cultivator below the Fifth Grade Supreme level caught in them would be reduced to ashes.
At this very moment, in this uninhabited land of thunder, the stars in the sky suddenly brightened. Then, beams of starlight descended, illuminating the world. Where the starlight passed, cracks quietly began to form in the starry sky above.
From these cracks, an ancient and desolate aura surged forth, as if it had transcended time and space, sweeping across the land with an overwhelming presence.
Occasionally, when the space twisted and bent, one could faintly glimpse an ancient thunder palace shrouded in mist within the starry sky. Its boundless grandeur was enough to make even Earthly Supreme-level super powerhouses tremble in awe.
As the crack in the starry sky appeared, the leaders of various top-tier factions and Earthly Supreme-level experts across the Heavenly Thunder Continent immediately sensed the disturbance. One after another, their gazes pierced through space and focused on the far east of the continent.
In that instant, even these battle-hardened super powerhouses shot to their feet in excitement, their expressions filled with joy.
"That aura... Is that the Ancient Thunder Palace?! It's finally appearing?!"
...
Northern Heavenly Thunder Continent.
At the very heart of the northern lands stood a vast and majestic city. Above the city, a sea of thunder raged, painting a breathtaking yet terrifying sight.
At the center of this city, within a secluded stone pavilion, stood a tall and slender man.
The man appeared to be in his early thirties, clad in luxurious silver robes embroidered with a massive lightning bolt pattern, as if it had descended from the heavens to strike awe into all who beheld it.
His chiseled features were not particularly handsome, but he possessed an undeniable charisma. What stood out the most, however, were his radiant silver pupils, within which resided an entire world of lightning, exuding a chilling aura of devastation.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, the silver-robed man furrowed his brows and lifted his gaze towards the eastern horizon.
"Oh? So the Ancient Thunder Palace is finally appearing..."
For a brief moment, he was stunned. Then, an intense ripple flickered through his ocean-like silver pupils, and a rare smile of excitement appeared on his lips.
It was evident that the appearance of the Ancient Thunder Palace was extremely good news for him.
"It has finally appeared... No matter what happens, this time, my Thunder God Palace must obtain the inheritance of the Ancient Thunder Palace! Perhaps one day, the radiance of the Ancient Thunder Palace will shine once more through my Thunder God Palace!"
The silver-robed man murmured to himself, his chiseled face reflecting his unwavering determination. Powerful lightning surged around him, rapidly expanding outward. In an instant, it was as if the entire world's thunder had responded to his call, roaring furiously.
At that moment, he was like the Thunder God.
His identity was obvious—he was none other than the Palace Master of the Thunder God Palace, the Thunder God himself!
"Come forth!" the Thunder God commanded loudly.
"At your command!"
The moment his words fell, several figures appeared behind him. Their auras were profound, their spiritual energy boundless. Every single one of them was an Earthly Supreme powerhouse!
"The Ancient Thunder Palace is about to emerge. From this moment on, the Thunder God Palace will cease all other activities. All experts will follow my command!"
"The Ancient Thunder Palace is appearing?!" Hearing the Thunder God's words, the Earthly Supreme experts behind him were momentarily stunned. Then, their expressions were quickly replaced by unconcealed joy.
The Ancient Thunder Palace had been a supreme force in ancient times, standing on equal footing with the Ancient Heavenly Palace. Its reappearance would undoubtedly trigger a fierce battle among countless powerful factions.
The Thunder God Palace was no exception. After all, they had long claimed to be the inheritors of the Ancient Thunder Palace.
Unfortunately, the Ancient Thunder Palace had perished too abruptly, and though the Thunder God Palace's first-generation ancestor had once been a disciple of the Ancient Thunder Palace—personally taught by the Demon Heart Lightening Emperor—they had only obtained a fraction of its inheritance. The majority had been lost.
Thus, while the Thunder God Palace held a dominant position within the Heavenly Thunder Continent, it could not compare to the former glory of the Ancient Thunder Palace within the Great Thousand World.
For this reason, both the Thunder God and his upper echelons had long yearned to acquire the true inheritance of the Ancient Thunder Palace, using it to elevate their faction into a true superpower of the Great Thousand World and restore the Ancient Thunder Palace's former brilliance.
Now, the Thunder God Palace was ready to strike!
