You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 450 - 41、Demon Ancestor_3
As if heaven and earth had shifted, amidst the twisting of space, Duanmu Yan had arrived at a world shrouded in endless night, where dazzling lightning frequently tore through the darkness in the sky.
And behind him was the enormous and radiant barrier of the Great Yong Divine Formation.
Invisible and vast power was still pervading, repelling all Demon Clan and Mutant Beasts attempting to draw near.
Duanmu Yan slightly released his demonic power, beginning to move away from the repulsion of the Great Yong Divine Formation. At first, his traveling speed was merely at the Demon King level, but as he got farther and farther away from the Great Yong Divine Formation, his speed increased more and more.
By the time he reached a thousand miles away from the Great Yong Divine Formation, he had already recovered the power of a Demon Saint level.
Even existences like Divine Beasts, Demon Gods, or Ancestors would not be able to approach within ten thousand miles of the Great Yong Divine Formation.
"Swish!"
Amidst the continuous slashing of lightning through the darkness, Duanmu Yan sped through the Eternal Night Sky at an astonishing velocity, eventually passing through the ten thousand miles of invisible power spread by the Great Yong Divine Formation and landing atop a solitary peak in the Eternal Night.
"Requesting an audience with the Demon Ancestor."
Duanmu Yan took out a pure white scale, then closed his eyes and sank into a strange dreamscape.
Within the boundless and white dreamscape, Duanmu Yan appeared here.
"Duanmu Yan, you're back from Great Yong so soon?"
A dreamy and melodious female voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire dreamscape.
"Great Dream Demon Ancestor."
Duanmu Yan said respectfully, "Duanmu has made a significant discovery in Great Yong and requests the Dream Demon Ancestor to invite the Heavenly Demon Ancestor over for a discussion."
"Oh?" The soft and pleasant female voice said, "As you wish."
A moment later.
"Duanmu Yan."
A calm male voice rose in the boundless white dreamscape: "Tell us about your significant discovery."
"Greetings, Heavenly Demon Ancestor."
Duanmu Yan said respectfully, "Today, Duanmu approached the Seventeenth Prince with the token of the Prison Demon God, and the token indeed reacted. It is now certain that the Seventeenth Prince has truly cultivated the Three Thousand Hells Body. It seems... the Prison Demon God indeed reincarnated as the Seventeenth Prince."
"He really became a prince?"
That calm male voice said, "But... it's one thing for the Divine Emperor, but that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince would agree to let someone like Xiahou Shou, a traitor from the Human Clan, become a prince? That's not like them, unless..."
After a brief silence, the calm male voice continued, "Later, I will bestow upon you a drop of Ancestor Blood. When you return to Great Yong, at the moment when the Seventeenth Prince's Divine Soul collapses, have him merge with this drop of Ancestor Blood. If he truly is Xiahou Shou, he will naturally transform into one of the Demon Clan. If not, then kill him."
"Yes, Heavenly Demon Ancestor," Duanmu Yan said respectfully.
"Any other discoveries?" the calm male voice asked.
"As you predicted, the Second Prince now seems indeed to be preoccupied with his troubles. Today at the Divine Pivot Institute, I deliberately afforded the Second Prince the opportunity to act, yet he did not take it."
Duanmu Yan revealed a hint of a smile then continued respectfully, "And the situation of the Crown Prince is as you foresaw. As of now, unless he relies on his own power, he cannot deal with those unforeseeable by heavenly secrets."
"For others, he is indeed invincible within the Yong Realm."
The calm male voice said indifferently, "But unless he goes to see for himself, he probably won't even notice a trace of those unforeseeable by heavenly secrets. You, as one of those unforeseeable ones, are also his greatest restraint."
"If we could find the core of the Divine Array and destroy the Crown Prince's reliance, our Demon Clan could walk freely in Great Yong," Duanmu Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"There's no need for us to act. Although the Star Lord is not one of us, he will do it."
The calm male voice finished speaking, fell silent for a moment, then added, "Tell me more about the Seventeenth Prince."
"The Seventeenth Prince is now the number one talent of the Human Clan."
Duanmu Yan said, "Apart from his outstanding talent, he also has a Divine Artifact Battle Saber and a Phoenix Crown from Ancient Times!"
"A Divine Artifact Battle Saber? A Phoenix Crown?"
The male voice remained calm as it continued, "What else? What about his current Cultivation and background?"
Duanmu Yan said, "The Seventeenth Prince's Cultivation is still at the Perfect stage of a Great Cultivator, not yet having formed the embryonic outline of his path. However, he must have created a very powerful True Skill... As for his background, besides the household of Duke Heng, he is also assisted by a Great Power in Array Path."
He paused, then said, "Moreover, he is the Direct Disciple of the Main Hall Master of the Ancestor Hall; the Main Hall Master is very protective of him."
"The Main Hall Master?"
The male voice suddenly was not so steady and fell silent for a long while before slowly sighing.
"Indeed, many years have passed..."
