Dragon Emperor Realm.

At this moment, the entire Dragon Emperor Realm was shaking, as furious dragon roars echoed throughout. All ordinary members of the Dragon Clan were trembling.

The source of all this was the Dragon Emperor Palace.

"My son..."

The Old Dragon Emperor transformed into his true dragon form, smashing the vast interior of the Dragon Emperor Palace to pieces, as violent gales tore rifts into the Void Realm.

The Old Dragon Emperor could not control his emotions; he felt hatred, he felt loathing!

However, when he thought about who had killed Dragon Nine Heavens, he couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

Mu Zun had already become the Lord of Taihang. If his Nine-Winged Storm Dragon clan wanted to continue surviving in the Taihang Universe, they absolutely could not offend Mu Zun.

The hope for revenge was almost non-existent.

Beili Realm.

"Child, are you really going to leave the Taihang Universe?"

By a clear stream at the foot of Misty Peak, a bearded old man sat upon a giant boulder.

"Yes, Grandfather."

Ning Kexuan pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

This journey on the Ancient Path had made her see herself clearly.

She wanted to continue becoming stronger, and leaving the Taihang Universe was her best choice.

In the Myriad Universes, there were far too many Universes more powerful than the Taihang Universe.

Only by going there could she obtain what she wanted.

The old man listened and remained silent for a long while.

In the end, he could only let out a sigh.

The outcome of the Ancient Path was something even he hadn't expected.

Logically speaking, his granddaughter, who possessed the Flying Immortal Body, should have already surpassed all the Prodigies of the Taihang Universe in strength.

Yet she had been defeated on the Ancient Path, and after returning, her entire person had changed.

It was simply hard to imagine what kind of monsters the Prodigies on the Ancient Path were this time.

As he thought, a silver light suddenly flashed in the old man's hand, and he threw it to Ning Kexuan.

Ning Kexuan looked closely; it was actually a silver bracelet.

"Kexuan, this bracelet was left to you by your parents."

The old man slowly spoke of the bracelet's Origin.

"I originally hoped you could stay in the Taihang Universe for a bit longer, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Looking at the little girl who used to follow behind him with a runny nose, who had now grown into a graceful young woman, the old man felt a surge of emotion.

Ning Kexuan stared blankly at the silver chain in her hand, as two faces, both familiar and strange, suddenly surfaced in her mind.

"Your parents are currently in the Yan Clan Universe, which is part of the Seven Great Imperial Clans."

"You can go find them; perhaps you can receive some help."

Back then, he had watched his son leave; now, he had to watch his granddaughter leave as well.

The old man couldn't help but be filled with countless emotions.

"Yan Clan Universe..."

Ning Kexuan had heard her grandfather mention this Universe before. Back then, whenever he spoke of the Yan Clan Universe, his expression would become complex; now she finally understood why.

Afterward, Ning Kexuan bid farewell to her grandfather and also resigned from her status as the successor of Misty Peak.

She was leaving the Taihang Universe... On Immeasurable Island, Mu Zun sat cross-legged, floating in the void. His white robes were spotless and dustless, like a banished immortal from the heavens.

Perhaps because he had obtained the Taihang Universe Origin and become the Lord of Taihang,

Mu Zun's current aura had become somewhat ethereal, merging with the environment and appearing otherworldly.

During this time, Mu Zun had completely refined the heaven devouring god-devil pagoda, a Quasi-Emperor weapon, and had mastered all the forbidden divine abilities he had obtained from Ancient Dust Immortal.

His cultivation had also advanced from the initial Taiyi Profound Venerable to the Supreme Profound Venerable Realm.

A Supreme Profound Venerable seemed to have a Heavenly Dao Foundation within their body, allowing them to grasp the Universe and manipulate heaven and earth.

Mu Zun's current cultivation speed was something even a Quasi-Emperor could not compare to.

As for his Primordial Spirit Rank, Mu Zun had even reached the Early Stage of Void Tribulation.

In terms of the Primordial Spirit alone, even a Chaos Profound Venerable might not be able to match Mu Zun.

His current strength was definitely not something that could be measured by his Realm alone.

In addition, Mu Zun used the Immortal Falling Great Array he obtained from the Ancient Path to temper his Physical Body.

With tens of thousands of divine elephant particles and his invincible Saint Body Dao Embryo, he could suppress all enemies with just his physical strength alone.

"It's time to go out; a guest has arrived."

Mu Zun murmured to himself, his eyes deep. Now, everything in the entire Taihang Universe was within his perception.

A being with an astonishing aura had appeared in the Taihang Universe and seemed to be heading toward his Profound Heaven Realm.

With a thought from Mu Zun,

he appeared at a certain location in the Taihang Universe in the next instant.

Before him was a being with white hair and beard, whose face was shrouded in mist.

Surging from his body was a vast Imperial Might.

To carry such power was not something an ordinary Cultivator could achieve.

Clearly, this was a powerhouse who had touched upon the Emperor Realm!

That being naturally noticed Mu Zun's appearance.

When he fixed his gaze on Mu Zun, he couldn't help but let out a soft sound of surprise.

Meanwhile, Mu Zun could feel a resonance of the same Bloodline within that being.

This gave Mu Zun a guess regarding this being's Origin.

"Supreme Profound Venerable cultivation, Double Pupils, and you even obtained the Taihang Universe Origin. Not bad."

At this time, the being spoke in an aged voice, his words filled with deep praise and recognition.

"Mu Zun greets Senior."

Mu Zun's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke to greet him.

"Mm."

The mist dissipated, and the being finally revealed his face—he was an old man with a majestic countenance.

"The resonance of the Bloodline—as a Supreme Profound Venerable, you should be able to feel it as well."

"You and I belong to the same clan, so there's no need for pleasantries."

"Not to mention, you are Qian Yan's son."

Qin Dan said.

"Qian Yan?"

Mu Zun's heart stirred.

"Indeed. Mu Zun, I suppose you have many doubts about your background?"

Qin Dan smiled slightly.

His arrival in the Taihang Universe this time was at the behest of the clan's Ancient Ancestor.

Regarding the Qin Bloodline that had drifted into the Taihang Universe, it had been thoroughly investigated the very day it was discovered by that Ancient Ancestor.

They didn't know until they checked, but once they did, they were shocked.

Mu Zun, this Bloodline adrift outside, was actually the child of Mu Zuns Mother, a direct descendant of the Qin Imperial Clan back then.

Because Mu Zuns Mother had run away without permission, she was personally captured and brought back by her father, the Clan Head, and sent to her grandfather, Emperor Jun Qin, who was one of the Ancient Ancestors of the Qin Imperial Clan.

After years of cultivation, Mu Zuns Mother, who already possessed terrifying talent, saw her cultivation become even more formidable under the tutelage of Emperor Jun Qin.

She had even reached the point where she could accompany several Ancient Ancestors of the clan to suppress the forbidden darkness.

After several battles, Mu Zuns Mother's status and prestige within the clan reached their peak.

Because not long ago, a bizarre purple-black mist abyss appeared in the Myriad Universes. That abyss, carrying an aura of evil, constantly released thick fog, corroding the surrounding large and small Universes.

This naturally drew the attention of the Seven Great Imperial Clans.

Some suspected that this was another descent of an ancient forbidden darkness.

To this end, the Qin Imperial Clan sent Mu Zuns Mother along with an Ancient Ancestor and other clan powerhouses to investigate. They have yet to return, so the news of Mu Zun's appearance hasn't been able to reach her yet.
