"Damn the Heavenly Demon Sect," Han Xuanji muttered.
He felt as if the Heavenly Demon Sect was deliberately making trouble for him.
Although he had no particular feelings for the Han Family, they were still connected by Bloodline, and at least the Han Family had never harmed him.
When his Aptitude was first detected, Han Father had even planned to send him to the Han Family.
"Let's take a look."
Han Xuanji swept his Divine Sense across the entire Han Family.
He didn't even need to use his Dongxu Divine Eye; a Soul Transformation Realm Divine Sense could easily take in everything in the Han Family.
And as long as a Soul Transformation Cultivator wished, the other party wouldn't even discover it.
Soon, he found a Golden Core Realm Aura of an old man in a secret chamber deep within the Han Family.
"This Aura is strong on the outside but weak within. It truly seems like the Breakthrough failed."
Han Xuanji frowned slightly, sighing softly in his heart.
Originally, he had guessed that the Han Family Old Ancestor was feigning illness to show weakness to the enemy, but now it seemed he was truly on his last legs.
Even if the other party was disguised very well, in his eyes, it was clear that he was incredibly weak…
"According to this situation, he probably won't last many more years."
Han Xuanji carefully observed the Aura of the Han Family Old Ancestor and judged in his heart.
The other party's lifespan was already short; he must have failed in his attempt to Breakthrough to the seventh layer of Golden Core, and the backlash was severe.
"I should still find a way to help the Han Family."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
"If the Golden Core Old Ancestor dies, the Han Family will surely fall into chaos, and might even be directly divided by other Families."
"There's no need to stand by and do nothing."
Han Xuanji pondered in his mind.
Mainly, for him, saving the other party's life wouldn't require any effort.
.....
Deep within the Han Family's backyard.
All the Elders were gathered, their expressions filled with grief.
"Is there truly no way to save the Old Ancestor?"
Han Xiu, the current Clan Chief of the Han Family, looked at the Grand Elder and asked in a deep voice.
Three years ago, the Han Family Old Ancestor entered seclusion for a Breakthrough, attempting to advance further. If he could become a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator, he would be able to deter the covetous gazes of many Families.
However, things did not go as planned; not only did he fail, but the backlash was severe.
The Grand Elder shook his head slightly, his expression solemn:
"I have already consulted a Senior. Even a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator like him is powerless. At most, he can extend his life by a few years. As for wanting him to recover, it would likely require a stronger person, and he told me that the City Lord is not skilled in this Dao, and is also powerless…"
As soon as these words were spoken,
The other Elders fell silent.
An existence above Nascent Soul?
How could their small Han Family possibly invite such a being?
Especially Clan Chief Han Xiu, his face was extremely grim.
He, a Cultivator who had just entered the Golden Core Realm, was not capable of supporting such a large Family.
If the Old Ancestor fell, the Han Family would face pressure from all sides and would find it very difficult to persist.
"Alas, it's my incompetence."
The Han Family Old Ancestor walked out of the secret chamber and said in a low voice.
His face was pale, and although he looked unharmed, his Aura was unstable, not like a Golden Core Cultivator, but rather like an old man with not much lifespan left.
"Old Ancestor, you will definitely be fine."
Han Xiu immediately stepped closer, his eyes red.
He was a direct descendant of the Han Family Old Ancestor, and his entry into the Golden Core Realm was also due to the Old Ancestor's strong support. Their relationship was very deep.
The Han Family Old Ancestor shook his head and looked at Han Xiu:
"The Han Family will depend on you from now on. You've worked hard."
Han Xiu nodded, his expression heavy.
Regardless, the Han Family still had some Foundation. As long as they could fully cultivate another Golden Core Cultivator, the situation would improve significantly.
Suddenly,
Someone noticed a figure slowly approaching the Han Family Old Ancestor.
"Who are you?"
A Foundation Establishment Realm Elder of the Han Family shouted, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Outside, there were many Disciples patrolling, and numerous Formations had been set up.
How did this person get in?
"Hmph."
Han Xuanji used the Myriad Images of the Universe Skill to conceal his appearance and figure, making it impossible for anyone present to see his true face.
"I didn't expect the Han Family to have declined to such an extent."
Han Xuanji's steps were unhurried. With each step, he brought forth a powerful pressure that made everyone afraid to breathe heavily.
This was still Han Xuanji holding back a lot; otherwise, his Aura alone could have made these people faint.
At this moment, even if the Han Family Elders were slow to react, they realized that this person was a master far beyond their imagination. At least, a Golden Core Realm Cultivator could not bring such immense pressure.
Moreover, he had silently broken through numerous Formations, and they didn't even know when he had entered. What terrifying strength was required to achieve this?
However, seeing Han Xuanji slowly walk towards the Han Family Old Ancestor, someone couldn't help but say:
"Protect the Old Ancestor!"
All the Han Family Elders immediately sobered up, suppressing the fear in their hearts, attempting to block Han Xuanji's steps.
However, as soon as they approached Han Xuanji by a single step, they felt an even deeper sense of this incredibly powerful Aura, and their bodies instinctively took a step back.
"Stop!"
At this moment, the Han Family Old Ancestor's eyes widened, looking at Han Xuanji with a face full of shock.
The oppressive feeling Han Xuanji brought was even greater than that of the many Nascent Soul cultivators he had seen before, which meant… Han Xuanji was very likely a mighty figure above Nascent Soul!
If such an existence harbored ill intentions, he would have died long ago.
Furthermore, if the other party wanted to destroy the Han Family, it would be just a thought.
As Han Xuanji approached, the Han Family Old Ancestor suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"This is the Aura of the Han Family Bloodline."
The Bloodline Origin Aura is very difficult to change.
Could it be…
"Old Ancestor?"
The Han Family Old Ancestor asked tentatively. At this moment, he no longer felt fear; that Aura from the same Origin made him feel incredibly at ease.
It was just that, when had the Han Family produced such a figure?
Han Xuanji did not explain, but examined Han Yuan's injuries at close range.
"Foundation damaged, Qi and Blood corrupted…"
Under his perception, all of Han Yuan's internal injuries were completely understood by Han Xuanji.
He had signed in for so many years, learning a wide variety of Cultivation Techniques and mastering countless things.
He naturally knew things about the Dao of healing, and was quite proficient.
If a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator failed to Breakthrough to Void Tempering, he would probably be helpless.
But a mere Golden Core Realm problem was easy.
"Han Feng of the Han Family, greets Old Ancestor!"
Han Feng, disregarding his weakened body, immediately knelt before Han Xuanji, crying:
"This unfilial descendant is ashamed before Old Ancestor!"
The Old Ancestor's Old Ancestor?
The Han Family members were instantly stunned, their eyes wide.
They watched their usually majestic Old Ancestor, now like a child who had made a mistake and was wronged.
Immediately, all the Han Family members had a thousand words stuck in their throats, unable to speak.
"Try to circulate your spiritual power again."
Han Xuanji lightly tapped Han Yuan's chest, sending out a gentle spiritual power.
"Circulate spiritual power again?"
Han Feng was stunned, and smiled bitterly:
"Old Ancestor, my Foundation is severely damaged. Even if you expend your Cultivation to save my life, I will become a cripple. Why bother for me…"
However, when Han Yuan subconsciously circulated his spiritual power, his pupils constricted.
"This…"
Han Feng could feel that the moment he circulated his spiritual power, a warm current surged in, helping him repair all his injuries. His originally damaged Foundation was now mended.
