# Chapter 1651: The Old Clan Chief
A person who had an audience with the Green Emperor!
How astonishing such a person must be, a living history book. How many years had he existed? It was unbelievable, simply defying heaven.
This was not someone sealed in Divine Source, but a supreme powerhouse of the God Clan who had lived continuously.
The Green Emperor had passed away over ten thousand years ago, yet this person had once paid homage to him. That meant he was now at least ten thousand years old or more—truly terrifying.
And obviously, ordinary people could not have met the Green Emperor back then. One would need an extremely high status, with cultivation surpassing the mundane and reaching sagehood, which required many years of accumulation.
This was a true living fossil!
"The Demon Emperor's bearing was supreme, looking down on ten thousand ages, dominating the world. Even now, thinking of that heroic posture makes one tremble," the God Clan ancestor sighed, a nostalgic expression appearing on his face as he sank into memories.
"But even the greatest supreme being has a day of aging." He gently shook his head. The unmatched Demon Emperor had shaken the universe in all directions, but in the end, he could not become an immortal.
Everyone opened their mouths, wanting to say something but failing. Time had buried too much!
The God Clan's old clan chief had not sealed himself with Divine Source. In fact, he had been cultivating all these years, so his Dao path had always been growing, trying to break through his shackles and elevate himself.
Unfortunately, he was too old. His Immortal Platform was decaying, about to crack. He could not leap like a fish transforming into a dragon, undergoing the final ultimate transformation.
Half of his body had turned to stone, an imitation of the ancient supreme beings. This was a method of extending life. Sacred Spirits could turn stone bodies into flesh, while he was doing the reverse—letting his flesh, Immortal Platform, and other life forces lie dormant and slumber, reducing life consumption to the minimum.
During this process, he only kept one thought alive, engaging in Dao comprehension and bitter contemplation of elevation. All other emotions and thoughts were frozen, not functioning.
Of course, this was also related to his consumption of divine pills. Otherwise, he could not have undergone such hibernation or lived such a long life.
But the drawbacks of this method were obvious. The person was half-crippled. Dao comprehension had not achieved breakthrough progress, while he himself was nearly disabled.
According to the God Clan's old clan chief, different Forbidden Zones of Life had different methods of longevity. They were not true immortality, but could effectively slow down aging.
Of course, the main thing was to sever the Great Emperor realm, then seal oneself, only awakening when necessary using these life-extending methods.
But he needed to comprehend the Dao and remain clear-minded. Therefore, he did not seal himself with Immortal Source.
Living like this from ancient times to the present was truly frightening, stunning people speechless.
One must know that a Great Accomplishment Saint Body only lived a little over ten thousand years in one lifetime!
"Why? Has the Green Emperor not perished? Could this be his reincarnation?" Finally, the God Clan's old clan chief calmed his emotions and asked Ye Fan to show him the Azure Lotus.
When he tremblingly took the Chaos Azure Lotus, his expression was shocked, his hands shaking uncontrollably. He thought of the world-shaking Demon Emperor from over ten thousand years ago, feeling a vastness like the starry sky and immense pressure, unable to resist the urge to kneel.
"The Green Emperor... it is the Green Emperor, the true supreme Great Emperor. This aura is the same!" The God Clan's old clan chief's eyes were terrifying, beams of light splitting the void as he stared at the Azure Lotus without stopping.
He couldn't understand how it could share the same origin, same source, same body. He asked Ye Fan about the hidden reasons.
Ye Fan did not hide anything and told the complete truth, because he also wanted to know what was going on and understand clearly.
"Could it be that the Green Emperor did not die and has truly been reborn?" The God Clan's old clan chief felt the Azure Lotus in his hand was extremely hot, revealing a look of fear.
If this were true, and the Demon Emperor thought they had ill intentions, a misunderstanding could bring a disaster of clan annihilation. The God Clan was indeed powerful, surpassing all other clans, but in the eyes of a true Great Emperor, they were nothing.
Even the God Lord's supreme formation could not destroy this small Azure Lotus. He believed that in this world, unless a supreme being emerged, no power could harm this lotus.
The God Clan's old clan chief always felt that the Green Emperor's passing back then was somewhat suspicious. For a time, he thought the Green Emperor was still in the world, not having left. After all, he was the only one to become an emperor after the Ancient Era. Moreover, with only ten thousand years until the Immortal Path opened, how could the Demon Emperor not have calculated this? Perhaps he had heaven-defying methods to hold on until this era.
These speculations made Ye Fan, Black Emperor, and the others' hearts shake violently. They had also had similar guesses. What kind of person was the Green Emperor? How could he not calculate this?
Especially since this era was so close. Even by dragging things out half-dead, he should have persisted to see the outcome.
"Reborn? The Green Emperor is in our hands?!" Everyone stared at this Azure Lotus together. Unfortunately, it had no divine sense fluctuations, and probing into the lotus body yielded nothing.
"The Green Emperor might not die so easily, but it doesn't necessarily mean he is this Azure Lotus," Ye Fan said.
Everyone said the Green Emperor was born rooted in the Green Copper Block. So if his blood again stained the Green Copper Block, forming a small lotus like this was not impossible.
Mysterious and confusing—the mystery of the Green Emperor's life and death could not be explained!
Finally, Ye Fan and the others discussed the Dao with the God Clan's old clan chief, talking about many cultivation issues, and also mentioning the current powerful figures.
"The Divine Court's Lord is very strong, almost attaining the Dao. But he probably can't take that step. If he could, he would have succeeded long ago and wouldn't be sitting in meditation for hundreds of years," the God Clan ancestor said.
"But even so, no one can check him. He's only half a step from becoming an emperor. How many can fight him? Little Leaf would at least need to reach Great Accomplishment, and that still requires some years," Li Heishui said with worry.
"It's not absolutely impossible. The Golden Crow Clan's quasi-emperor from back then was one of the most terrifying people I've ever seen. He should be able to match him. I don't think he would have died silently. But there has been no movement for so many years, making it hard to see through. Hard to say if he's still in this world."
Black Emperor, Pang Bo, and others had headaches. The Golden Crow Clan's quasi-emperor would never have a good relationship with them. If such a person existed and was destined to be an enemy, it would be better if he didn't exist.
"The universe is vast, with extraordinary people emerging in every generation. Unless one attains the Dao and becomes an emperor, no one dares to claim they are the number one expert under the stars."
Finally, they naturally spoke of the Forbidden Zones of Life. The God Clan's old clan chief also sighed, saying they were hard to see through, the future unpredictable, and those places could not be leveled by human power.
"In this world, besides the visible and heard supreme powerhouses and those about to attain the Dao, there are also some ancient organizations that cannot be ignored. They might be even more terrifying," the God Clan's old clan chief kindly reminded.
Because he saw these people as forces that could mutually support the God Clan. Through Ji Chengdao as a bond, both sides could ultimately come together.
Ji Chengdao had the purest divine blood flowing in his veins. Whether he acknowledged it or not, he was a member of the God Clan and could even be cultivated to become the God Lord.
"What other organizations?"
"The Underworld goes without saying. The Divine Organization is the descendant of Heavenly Court members, preserving many terrifying methods with deep foundations," the God Clan ancestor directly pointed out these two opposing ancient organizations.
Everyone nodded, indicating they knew.
"Additionally, there is an ancient remnant clan you might not know about, or might have overlooked," the old clan chief reminded.
"There's more?"
"Correct, the Kunlun Remnant Clan. There once hung an Immortal Bell there, which belonged to Emperor Venerable. Could anyone else have attacked the Kunlun Immortal Vein? Absolutely impossible. Those people were too powerful!"
Everyone gasped upon hearing this, recalling those secret histories. In this era, descendants of the Kunlun Remnant Clan had indeed appeared, once holding a fragment of the Human Emperor Seal, and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Ye Fan and the others walked down the broken mountain. Chaotic energy surged in the divine cave. The old clan chief pondered, muttering to himself: "The organizations from the Desolate Tower era should have died out..."
"Mother, I'm here!" On the path to the back mountain, Ji Chengdao shouted, tears streaming down. Three hundred years apart—he had only just begun to remember things back then. It was the pain of separation by life and death. At that time, he lay on the ground crying, begging the God Clan's guardians, but it was completely useless.
This was a world of flowers and birdsong, with only a few thatched cottages, very simple, returning to nature.
At a desk, a beautiful woman was painting. Scroll after scroll, scene after scene, the paintings were vivid, telling a story. There was a heroic man, covered in blood, stubbornly refusing to bow his head, carrying a young child as he paced outside the God Clan, refusing to leave.
Painting to this point, the woman shed tears, stirred by painful memories.
The guardian opened the great formation, and the sights and sounds from outside immediately came through.
"Mother!" Ji Chengdao shouted, recognizing at a glance that it was his mother.
Xin Yue suddenly raised her head, the brush in her hand falling to the ground. She was completely stunned. She felt a familiar aura, and then instantly knew—it was her child, the little Chengdao from back then. Hot tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. A single word "child" expressed three hundred years of desolation and bitterness.
Mother and son reunited, recognizing each other. Ye Fan and the others did not approach.
That night, several muffled groans were heard. Several God Clan elders were attacked, turning into pig heads overnight, and their backsides were nearly kicked to pieces.
It wasn't until Ye Fan and his group left with Xin Yue that several angry roars were heard. The seals on several elders were only then broken. They had been subdued by Black Emperor during the night, left for Ji Chengdao to vent his anger.
The little guy didn't hold back. He kicked them wildly, then sealed them all up again.
Of course, some people in the God Clan knew—at least the old clan chief and a few others could see through everything completely—but they turned a blind eye and didn't interfere.
Time passed swiftly. Another ten years went by. In the universe, all clans flourished and prospered. The golden age of prosperity had developed to its extreme. Many new experts emerged.
And it was in this year that news came from an ancient battlefield—extremely mysterious, hard for outsiders to explore, and believed to be in another universe. The Holy Prince was severely injured, barely winning against his opponent, and needed rescue.
"Brother Monkey won, but some enemies might take advantage of his weakness to kill him. He sent someone to barely deliver the message."
"The Holy Prince has been wounded. Even someone with such a fierce temperament as his can only choose to endure and lie low, showing he is extremely weak, his injuries very serious. We must rush support immediately!"
After the Heavenly Court received the news, Ye Fan, Black Emperor, Pang Bo, and others decided to set off immediately. A new great battle was coming. Perhaps after this battle, everything would be without suspense. The struggle for the Imperial Path should also come to an end.
