Chapter 121 121: Ancestor



"This..." Duan Mu looked at Gabriel in surprise. 

Even he found it hard to believe that he had become stronger without even doing anything. Was a single mysterious fruit so miraculous? His eyes revealed a desire to have even more. 

"This is just the beginning," Xu Shan told the young man, who led him out of the forest. 

Duan Mu didn't doubt Xu Shan at all! Instead, he was happy that he got this opportunity. Because of Xu Shan, now he had an opportunity that he never would've had otherwise. 

Now he could finally protect his mother! He didn't have to live like a coward!

Along the way, Xu Shan gave the young man another fruit. 

Throughout their journey, Xu Shan asked many questions to understand more about the family conditions of Duan Mu. 

According to Duan Mu, the closest city to this forest was Celestia City. It was the second biggest city in the Qelian Kingdom, right after the Royal City. 

Celestia City had three major families and the Duan Family was one of them. 

Xu Shan listened intently as Duan Mu shared the information he possessed. 

Despite their wealth and power, the Duan Family had many enemies and rivals who continuously plotted against them. However, he didn't have any favorable impression of the Duan Clan either. 

If it wasn't because his mother was associated with the Duan Clan, he would've left the clan a long time ago with his mother. 

"The Clan knows that I left with Duan Yang. If they find out that you killed him, then they might..."

"Are you saying that I should be afraid?" Xu Shan smiled, finding the young man's worries amazing. 

"N-no."  Duan Mu stuttered. He knew that Xu Shan was strong. However, he was still worried. He knew just how many defensive formations his clan had laid out. And then strength of the Clan Patriarch wasn't anything to scoff at either. 

However, he didn't realize that he was still undereating Xu Shan. 

Xu Shan didn't comment anymore. He didn't have any interest in the clan either. Instead, he only had one goal of going to the Duan Clan. And that was to remove every last bit of attachment Duan Mu had from anyone, while making him corrupt to the point that he was broken. 

He knew that Duan Mu still had a light in his dark life, and it was his mother. It was the motivation that would've made him walk down the path of a hero, vanquishing all evil in the future. However, he had decided to remove that weakness and use that for his own advantage. 

....

Xu Shan stepped inside Celestia City with Duan Mu. 

The city was beautiful, but it lacked a lot compared to even the most average cities in the Celestial Realm. However, the City had a unique charm of its own. 

Xu Shan noticed that the people in Celestia City were living a simple life, devoid of any extravagance or luxury. But, they seemed content with what they had and were going about their daily lives with a smile on their faces. 

The people of the City were very weak, at least in his eyes. However, the city wasn't completely peaceful either. 

Xu Shan took his first step inside the city, not knowing just what storm he had caused. 

His aura couldn't be sensed by Duan Mu and the people of his level, because of the restriction. However, his aura was still like a fierce storm that covered the entire city. 

The most powerful people that resided in the city were alerted at the slightest trace of that aura. 

The Patriarch of the Three Major Clans were covered in sweat. They didn't know who had arrived, but they were covered in sweat! That aura... It was stronger than anything that they ever felt. 

Even the Master of the Treasure Pavilion and the Head of the Alchemist Association were alerted. 

It was as if a god had arrived! They all knew what this meant! This aura... It couldn't belong to a person from the Lower Realm! It made them realize that someone from the Upper Realm had descended!

It wasn't easy to enter the Lower Realm from the Upper Realm either. Only very powerful beings in the Upper Realm could do it. 

Multiple people rushed out of their houses. Five of the strongest people in Celestia City flew out to welcome the guest in order to not accidentally offend him!

However, as they came closer to the entrance of the City, they realized that the aura was even stronger than they expected! The person who had arrived... He was much scarier than they expected!

Many people saw the Patriarchs of various clans flying in urgency. However, as they reached closer to the entrance, they landed on the ground and ran instead. It was as if they didn't want to offend the expert by flying to him. 

Almost everyone in the city was stunned at the sight. Five powerful beings in the Celestia City were walking together, solemnly as if they were scared. 

However, they weren't alone. Not long after, the Ancestors of Various Clans, who hadn't shown themselves for hundreds of years, had appeared as well. 

It was as if all the Ancient Beings of the Celestia City were out together. 

The people in the middle of the street moved aside, not daring to be in the path of these god-like beings. 

****

At the entrance of the Celestia City, Xu Shan had just entered, seeing the sights around him as he followed Duan Mu. 

His attire was the attire of the Royal Prince of the Eternal Dynasty. However, not a single person in this power world could recognise his clothes or what the Royal Symbol on his beautiful red robe was. 

Xu Shan noticed a few auras of Sky Celestials coming toward him. For people of this Lower World, reaching Sky Celestial Realm was already an achievement. That was the level of the strongest people in the Lower Realms. 

All Sky Celestials in the Lower Realm only dreamt of one thing. It was to break through to the Heavenly Celestial Realm so they could ascend to the Celestial Realm, but that was an almost impossible dream. 

"A-ancestor?! Even the Ancestor came out?!" Duan Mu exclaimed.
