Xiahou Yun looked at the main hall, her expression filled with anticipation and fear.
Would the ancestor be able to survive this calamity and successfully cultivate the celestial palace?
It was far too important to House Xiahou!
Over the years, House Xiahou had fallen into decline, its influence and assets being nibbled away by the other great houses.
It was a world of difference compared to back then.
And House Xiahou had paid a hefty price to acquire the pill.
Five million upper-tier spirit stones was a huge drain on House Xiahou's wealth.
The three spirit meridians were the foundation of House Xiahou's survival!
It could be said that it was to give the ancestor a chance to cultivate the celestial palace.
House Xiahou had practically emptied out all of its assets!
If the ancestor still failed…
The young girl did not dare to think about it anymore…
.........
The aura in the hall became stronger and more unstable. The phenomenon in the sky also changed unpredictably, and the wind and clouds surged.
Just like the Xiahou clansmen, their mood fluctuated.
Suddenly, the phenomenon disappeared, and the terrifying aura in the hall calmed down.
Everything returned to peace.
The Xiahou clansmen looked at each other. Had they succeeded?
House Xiahou hadn't produced a Heavenly Palace cultivator for tens of thousands of years, so the clansmen didn't know what it meant to cultivate a Heavenly Palace.
A moment later, an old voice came from the hall.
"Yun 'Er, come in. The rest of you can leave.”
Many clansmen were puzzled. They bowed deeply towards the hall and left.
Lin Lang glanced worriedly at Xiahou Yun before leaving with the rest of the Xiahou clansmen.
Xiahou Yun took a deep breath and walked toward the main hall.
When he walked into the hall, he saw a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged in the hall.
He was too old, and his entire body was filled with a rotten aura.
It emitted a dense aura of death, and its face was filled with a defeated expression.
It was House Xiahou's only Divine Mansion expert, the Xiahou forefather!
Xiahou Yun's heart sank when she saw the ancestor's expression.
He suddenly had a bad premonition!
The Xiahou forefather's first words were,"I failed. I didn't manage to complete the celestial palace.
He would pass away in five years at most.”
Xiahou Yun was mentally prepared for this.
However, he still couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
"Patriarch!" he cried out in grief.
The sky had collapsed!
The Xiahou forefather hadn't completed his celestial palace.
House Xiahou no longer had a single Divine Mansion Realm expert.
House Xiahou, which had taken over a lot of resources, was bound to be a juicy piece of meat in the eyes of the other factions!
At that time, House Xiahou's downfall would be inevitable.
Whether they could survive or not was still unknown!
The Xiahou forefather looked guiltily at the most talented descendant of House Xiahou.
He sighed." My talent is limited. I've been stuck at the peak of the Spiritual Abode Realm for a thousand years. My Qi and blood have long declined.
Even with the Xuandu Jade Illumination Pill, it's not enough to replenish my aura. I'm still one step away from the Heavenly Palace…
However, this step is a chasm that I can't cross!”
The Xiahou forefather looked at the grief-stricken Xiahou Yun, his eyes flashing with guilt and pity.
He knew how much pressure this young lady was bearing!
As the most outstanding member of House Xiahou's younger generation, she was the eldest daughter of House Xiahou.
Xiahou Yun had always taken on the responsibility of reviving the clan.
It was a pity that House Xiahou was now a complete mess!
The Xiahou forefather sighed."Don't tell anyone about my failure to break through.
Hurry up and sell off all of House Xiahou's properties in the capital.
Return all our assets to House Xiahou's ancestral land, Yuezhou.
This Imperial City…House Xiahou can't stay here anymore!
I still have five years of life left. No one is willing to fight to the death with a fearless old thing like me. I should be able to protect you all from the Imperial Capital.
However, I'll have to rely on you in the future!”
Xiahou Yun forcefully suppressed the bitterness in her heart and nodded.
"Don't worry, Patriarch. I know what to do."”
The Xiahou forefather sighed at the girl's determination."It's been hard on you.
However, you're the only pillar of the Xiahou clan…"
.......
Xiahou Yun walked out of the main hall, forcing herself not to reveal any strange expressions on her face.
She gazed at the vast mansion, at the laughing children, and at the sorrowful clansmen.
He forced himself to be strong!
She had always taken the responsibility of reviving the family, but she still heard such bad news!
Xiahou Yun looked at the setting sun in the sky. The sunset was dyed red.
I pray to the heavens to bless House Xiahou.
If House Xiahou could survive this calamity and rise again, it would be impossible.
I'm willing to pay any price…"
