"Mo Yu, my young friend, I didn't expect you to appear here."
The spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall glanced at the young man in the corner, whose face was both eerily handsome and devilishly charming. He was momentarily stunned before smiling.
Seeing that the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's spirit recognized him, Mo Yu shrugged and nodded slightly.
"Huh? Mo Yu? He's not from the Yuchang branch clan. Who exactly is this person?"
When the spirit called out Mo Yu's name, all the senior members of the Yuchang clan were visibly surprised, their faces filled with astonishment.
"The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's spirit actually knows Mo Yu?" In the corner of the hall, Yuchang Ran's delicate face froze in shock before an expression of disbelief emerged.
In her mind, Mo Yu had always been someone incapable of cultivation. But now, it seemed things were far from simple.
"Could it be… that mysterious powerhouse is actually Mo Yu?" A sudden thought struck her, and the more she considered it, the more likely it seemed…
"This gentleman is…?"
At the head of the discussion hall, Yuchang Yuan, the patriarch of the Yuchang clan, was slightly taken aback upon seeing the spirit's attitude toward Mo Yu. He then smiled.
"Hehe, Ran'er, this young friend seems to have come here with you. Why don't you introduce him?" The Grand Elder of the Yuchang clan, with his wise and aged gaze, turned to Yuchang Ran and smiled.
Hearing this, Yuchang Ran was momentarily stunned. Her cherry lips parted slightly before she stood up, stepped forward, and bowed slightly to Yuchang Yuan and the other senior members.
After a moment of hesitation, she turned to Mo Yu and then recounted everything that had happened—how she had saved him on the road, their encounter with the Gongsun clan's mechanical beast attack, and how they were aided by a mysterious figure…
"Hehe, I understand now. Mo Yu, little friend, you must have encountered a spatial storm while traveling from the Dou Qi Continent to the Great Thousand World, correct?"
After listening to Yuchang Ran's detailed account, the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's spirit seemed to grasp the situation and smiled at Mo Yu.
Given Mo Yu's strength, unless he had accidentally been caught in a spatial storm and drifted into the Myriad Weapons Region, it was unlikely he would have needed Yuchang Ran and her people to rescue him.
"Oh? A powerhouse who ascended from a lower plane to the Great Thousand World?"
The high-ranking members of the Yuchang clan were momentarily stunned before their expressions turned to amazement.
Although lower planes were impoverished, with cultivation resources and energy far inferior to the Great Thousand World, precisely because of this, any expert who managed to break through their shackles and ascend was a peerless talent. As long as they did not perish prematurely, they would soon carve out a place for themselves in the Great Thousand World.
This was why the Yuchang clan's upper echelon was so astonished. After all, on the Myriad Weapons Region, it was exceedingly rare to encounter someone who had ascended from a lower plane.
At the same time, Yuchang Yuan's aged eyes carefully scrutinized Mo Yu, and to his astonishment, even with his status as a Seventh Grade Supreme, he could not fully perceive the young man's depth.
"Hehe, Mo Yu, little friend, this is our Yuchang clan's patriarch, Yuchang Yuan." The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's spirit stepped beside Mo Yu and introduced him.
"So, you are Mo Yu. I have long heard from the Heavenly Profound spirit that he once received aid from a young prodigy in a plane called the Dou Qi Continent. If I am not mistaken, that must have been you."
Yuchang Yuan stood up and personally walked over, smiling warmly.
"To ascend from a lower plane to the Great Thousand World, sir, you must be an extraordinary talent." The Yuchang clan's Grand Elder also stepped forward and said with a smile.
"More than just extraordinary. The Dou Qi Continent, where Mo Yu came from, has not seen a single person ascend to the Great Thousand World in ten thousand years.
Now that Mo Yu has arrived in the Western Heaven Continent, he is likely the first in ten millennia. Such an achievement would be dazzling even on the Myriad Weapons Region." The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's spirit stroked his illusory beard and chuckled.
"First in ten thousand years?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the Yuchang clan members subtly shifted. Although lower planes were impoverished and underdeveloped, they were still home to billions of living beings. To be the first person in ten thousand years to ascend from such a place… Mo Yu's talent was simply terrifying.
Even Yuchang Ran was stunned by the spirit's words. She turned her gaze toward Mo Yu, and the brilliance in her beautiful eyes grew even more intense.
The person she had once thought to be a useless cripple incapable of cultivation turned out to be a supreme prodigy—a genius that only emerged once in ten millennia!
"The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall senior flatters me. In truth, aside from myself, others from the Dou Qi Continent have also broken through to the Dou Di realm and ascended to the Great Thousand World over the years."
Seeing the spirit praising him so highly, Mo Yu smiled wryly and shook his head.
The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's spirit smiled faintly. Sensing that Mo Yu did not wish to dwell on the matter, he shifted the topic and turned to Yuchang Yuan. "Patriarch, for what reason have you awakened me?"
Yuchang Yuan fell silent for a moment before explaining the Gongsun clan's challenge.
"Oh? Gongsun Qiu plans to personally fight the Yuchang clan?" The spirit's brows furrowed slightly.
"Yes. I suspect that Gongsun Qiu has already advanced to the Eighth Grade Supreme, which is why we awakened you to see if there is any way to deal with this situation." Yuchang Yuan sighed.
"An Eighth Grade Supreme… Such strength would be formidable even across other continents in the Great Thousand World. I did not expect Gongsun Qiu to have such an opportunity." The spirit's voice was heavy.
"It is likely due to the resources provided by the Blood God Clan. Gongsun Qiu shamelessly sold his daughter for power—utterly disgraceful!" one of the Yuchang clan elders spat in fury.
"Hmph, disgraceful or not, he has gained immense benefits, whereas our Yuchang clan has been forced into a desperate situation." The Grand Elder of the Yuchang clan suddenly seemed to age several years, his expression filled with bitterness.
Upon hearing this, the upper echelons of the Yuchang clan fell silent, each face bearing a trace of sorrow.
"The situation is not beyond saving yet. There may still be a way to turn things around."
Just then, the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's spirit suddenly smiled.
Instantly, all eyes in the hall turned toward him. Yuchang Yuan's voice was urgent. "What solution do you have?"
The spirit's gaze slowly shifted to Mo Yu, and he chuckled. "Mo Yu, my young friend, might be the key to saving the Yuchang clan. While Gongsun Qiu may be an Eighth Grade Supreme, Mo Yu's strength is even more unfathomable."
As his words fell, the Yuchang clan's elders, including Yuchang Yuan, all turned to the silver-eyed youth. Their gazes carried disbelief, doubt, and astonishment.
"Since the Gongsun clan declared that as long as someone accepts the challenge, it does not matter whether they belong to the Yuchang clan, then Mo Yu, little friend, would undoubtedly be the best candidate."
The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's spirit gave Mo Yu a meaningful glance before turning to Yuchang Yuan.
"Hehe, Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall, I trust your judgment. However, this matter is of immense importance. While Mo Yu was able to defeat the Ground Serpent Mechanical Beast, that alone is not enough to prove his true strength. After all, that Mechanical Beast was only comparable to a Third Grade Supreme. If we let Mo Yu face this battle… would it be too great a risk?"
Yuchang Yuan hesitated briefly, then smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned. He hadn't even agreed yet, and Yuchang Yuan was already doubting him.
"Hehe, Patriarch, do you not believe that Mo Yu can defeat Gongshu Qiu?" The spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall was momentarily taken aback before shaking his head and asking again.
Faced with such questioning, Yuchang Yuan could only force a bitter smile. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Mo Yu, but rather that Gongshu Qiu was simply too strong. If they lost this competition, the Yuchang Clan would be at the mercy of others.
"Senior of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall, in that case, since you have so much faith in Mr. Mo Yu, may I test him first? This matter concerns the survival of the Yuchang Clan, so we cannot afford even the slightest negligence."
A middle-aged man, appearing to be around forty years old, slowly stood up and smiled at the spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall.
"As long as Mr. Mo Yu can defeat me within ten moves, then we shall ask him to take on the challenge. How about that?"
Hearing this suggestion, Yuchang Yuan and the Grand Elder of the Yuchang Clan exchanged glances and found no reason to object.
This man was the Second Elder of the Yuchang Clan, Yuchang Jian, a Sixth Grade Supreme. Even Yuchang Yuan himself was not confident in defeating him within ten moves.
If Mo Yu could accomplish this, then having him take on the challenge would indeed be justified.
The spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall hesitated for a moment before turning to Mo Yu and saying, "Mo Yu, this matter concerns the survival of the Yuchang Clan. I believe in your strength, so I hope you will lend a hand this once.
If you can defeat Gongshu Qiu, I am willing to transfer the position of Supreme Elder of the Yuchang Clan to you."
"This..."
Hearing these words, the expressions of the high-ranking members of the Yuchang Clan changed drastically. As the guardian treasure of the clan, the spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall also held another identity—the Supreme Elder personally appointed by the first patriarch of the Yuchang Clan. His status was even vaguely on par with that of the patriarch.
However, as the spirit rarely involved himself in clan affairs, the title of Supreme Elder had gradually been forgotten over time. Now that he had brought it up again, everyone suddenly remembered its significance.
Yet, the fact that the spirit was willing to pass this position to an outsider made it difficult for many of the high-ranking members of the Yuchang Clan to accept.
Noticing their concerns, the spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall let out a cold snort. "The clan is already at a critical moment of life and death, and you are still clinging to these outdated traditions?
Although Mo Yu is not one of our clan, if he can defeat Gongshu Qiu, he will be our greatest benefactor. Does he not deserve the position of Supreme Elder?"
Hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Yuchang Clan lowered their heads in silence. The spirit was right—at this point, the clan was already on the brink of destruction. If they remained rigidly bound by old rules, they would only be dooming themselves.
If Mo Yu truly had the ability to defeat Gongshu Qiu, then even if he was an outsider, what harm was there in making him the Supreme Elder?
Yuchang Yuan's expression fluctuated before he gritted his teeth and made his decision. "The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall is right. If Mr. Mo Yu can defeat Gongshu Qiu, then he shall be our Supreme Elder!"
Yuchang Yuan clearly had the decisiveness of a leader. To him, if Mo Yu could truly defeat Gongshu Qiu, then his strength was at least at the level of an Eighth Grade Supreme. Using the position of Supreme Elder to win over such a powerhouse was hardly a losing deal.
Moreover, Mo Yu had ascended from a lower plane, meaning his potential was immeasurable. If they could secure his allegiance now, he might even lead the Yuchang Clan to greater heights in the future.
Seeing Yuchang Yuan's decision, the other high-ranking members of the Yuchang Clan exchanged glances before ultimately agreeing as well.
"Mr. Mo Yu, would you be willing to represent the Yuchang Clan in this challenge? If you win, you will become our Supreme Elder, holding an esteemed position that even the Patriarch cannot command." After obtaining the approval of the clan, the spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall looked at Mo Yu expectantly.
"Supreme Elder, huh..."
Mo Yu's eyes flickered with contemplation. His original intention was to eventually bring the Yuchang Clan under his control, but he knew that such things could not be rushed. Becoming the Supreme Elder first would be a good step toward that goal.
With that in mind, Mo Yu pondered for a moment before chuckling. "Since Senior of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall has such faith in me, I am willing to take on the challenge. Consider it a way to repay the favor of gifting me the Di-grade weapon embryo."
"Haha, then we must thank you, my friend," the spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall said with delight.
He could sense that Mo Yu's strength was unfathomable. Those who could rise from the lower planes were all extraordinary talents, and Mo Yu was certainly no exception.
Having agreed to fight on behalf of the Yuchang Clan, Mo Yu stepped forward, cupped his hands toward Yuchang Jian, and smiled. "Since this is a match, let's decide the outcome with a single move. If I lose, I won't bring this matter up again."
His words caused a stunned silence to fall over the great hall. Even Yuchang Yuan and the Grand Elder were momentarily dumbfounded—one move to determine victory?
No matter what, Yuchang Jian was a genuine Sixth Grade Supreme. Even if Mo Yu was strong, such words were undoubtedly arrogant.
"Haha, it seems Mr. Mo Yu has great confidence in himself." After a brief moment of shock, Yuchang Jian smiled.
Those who could rise from the lower planes were all outstanding talents. If Mo Yu dared to say such words, either he was trying to find an excuse to withdraw, or he truly had overwhelming confidence in his strength. Naturally, Yuchang Jian hoped it was the latter.
With that thought, he fixed his gaze on Mo Yu, took a deep breath, and said, "As you wish, Mr. Mo Yu!"
As his words fell, Yuchang Jian leaped into the air. His hands suddenly clapped together, and his seals changed at lightning speed, leaving behind countless afterimages.
Boom!
A vast surge of spiritual energy erupted from Yuchang Jian's body, and a towering shadow condensed behind him.
The enormous figure, about a thousand feet tall, stood imposingly in the sky. Its form resembled a massive golden shield, covered in ancient runes, radiating an indestructible aura that swept across the battlefield.
"Look! That's the Second Elder's Supreme Dharma Body—the Golden Shield Dharma Body!"
