160: Qin Ji with mixed feelings

Soon, a grand palace appeared before Mu Zun's eyes.

In front of this palace stood various stone statues.

Some were solemn and majestic, while others were heroic and free-spirited.

At first glance of those statues, Mu Zun could guess that the figures they depicted were definitely beings of terrifying strength.

"These statues depict the experts who have made great contributions to our Imperial Clan."

"Some of them have already left the Imperial Clan to travel beyond the Universe, while others have headed to the Immortal Realm."

Seeing Mu Zun looking at the statues in front of the palace several times, Qin Dan explained to him.

As he spoke, a look of reverence involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

Without a doubt, these experts had all achieved a Breakthrough beyond the Quasi-Emperor Realm and reached the Emperor Realm.

They were all peerless figures.

Mu Zun nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Unseen by anyone, a glint flashed deep within his eyes.

Immortal Realm?

It seemed the Qin Imperial Clan indeed had a connection with the Immortal Realm.

Although Mu Zun had long suspected it, he was now even more certain.

The two passed through the group of statues and arrived at the already open gates, then entered the palace.

After entering the palace, dozens of figures resembling gods and demons appeared before them.

They all sat cross-legged within the Void Realm, and each of them had a cultivation level of at least the Emperor Realm.

At the center of those figures sat a middle-aged man with a profound aura, seated upon a throne in the middle of the palace.

Upon closer inspection, his appearance actually bore some resemblance to Mu Zun.

"Qin Dan pays his respects to the Ancient Ancestors!"

Qin Dan stepped forward and greeted the Ancient Ancestors respectfully.

In the outside world, he was a terrifying Quasi-Emperor Realm Expert.

But before the Ancient Ancestors, he was merely a younger descendant of lower seniority.

"Junior Mu Zun greets the Ancient Ancestors."

Mu Zun also raised his hands in greeting.

His voice was loud and powerful, and though his expression was respectful, it remained steady without any sign of stage fright.

This demeanor made many Ancient Ancestors nod inwardly in approval.

Truly worthy of being Qian Yan's son; none of the younger generation in the Qin Imperial Clan could maintain such composure when speaking to them.

Upon hearing Mu Zun's voice, the middle-aged man sitting in the center had a complex look flash in his eyes as he looked at Mu Zun, but he still stood up and came before him.

Looking at the middle-aged man who resembled him, Mu Zun already understood and bowed with his hands clasped.

"Grandson Mu Zun greets Grandfather."

Indeed, this middle-aged man was Mu Zun's grandfather, the Clan Chief of the Qin Imperial Clan, Clan Head.

At this moment, Clan Head looked at his handsome and transcendent grandson with a subtle complexity in his eyes.

As for his own daughter having been inexplicably 'taken' by some unworthy man outside, it would naturally be a lie to say Clan Head didn't care.

Similarly, when he brought his daughter back, he was naturally well aware of the birth of his grandson.

He had even personally held Mu Zun, who was still in swaddling clothes, when no one else noticed.

He also loved his grandson.

But he chose not to bring him back to the Imperial Clan at that time.

Simply because if he had informed the clan back then that his daughter had married an ant with low status and cultivation almost no different from a Mortal, it would have caused a huge uproar.

His daughter would have had to endure so much gossip and slander.

To protect his daughter's reputation, Clan Head chose to keep this matter a secret.

The rest would depend on Qian Yan herself.

As long as Qian Yan could fully display her talent and build up enough prestige within the clan.

Then, even if he personally brought Mu Zun back to the clan, there wouldn't be a single rumor.

He just didn't expect that before Qian Yan could bring Mu Zun back, an Ancient Ancestor would discover him through the Qin Emperor Sacred Stone.
