"You've been sealed within the Original Stone all this time, so naturally, you're oblivious to what has occurred outside. This matter doesn't concern you. Rise," Ye Yun said calmly, simultaneously releasing his mana to lift the Xuan bird's body.

The Xuan bird stood to the side, flustered and unsure of what to say.

Big Black Cat and the others, standing behind Ye Yun and witnessing the entire process, were all visibly shaken, their faces etched with disbelief.

"Esteemed Senior, you've lived for a hundred thousand years?" Big Black Cat asked, his eyes wide as he mustered his courage.

In his memory, no one on the Cangnan Continent had ever lived for a hundred thousand years.

It was said that the Demon Clan had long lifespans, but even mighty demons of the Eternal Realm couldn't live for a hundred thousand years.

"It's quite embarrassing. I only managed to live for a hundred thousand years by relying on the Original Stone. But now, my physical body is decaying, and my Primordial Spirit is weak. At most, I can only live for about another hundred years..." the Xuan bird replied, his face etched with shame.

"That's truly incredible!" Big Black Cat murmured to himself. He gazed at the Original Stone, now resembling an ordinary rock as it hovered in mid-air, a fervent glow igniting in his eyes.

Original Stones are truly miraculous! He had heard of the renown of Original Stones but had never seen one.

Original Stones were extremely rare. Whenever one appeared on the Cangnan Continent, it would invariably trigger a bloody struggle.

After all, obtaining an Original Stone and using a special method to seal oneself inside could slow the decay of one's lifespan.

However, the sealing capacity of an Original Stone was not limitless.

Generally, an Original Stone could only be used for sealing up to three times.

In other words, being sealed inside an Original Stone consumed its latent energy. The process of exiting and then re-entering to be sealed again counted as two uses.

The higher the quality of the Original Stone, the more times it could be used, but never more than three.

Whether Human Race or Demon Clan, individuals would absolutely not seal themselves within an Original Stone unless they were on the brink of death.

Original Stones were far too precious; each use of their sealing capacity could not be wasted frivolously.

Ye Yun surveyed his surroundings and stated indifferently, "There's nothing much left to explore on Wu Kun Mountain. Let's go."

After speaking, Ye Yun descended from mid-air and slowly made his way down the mountain trail.

The Xuan bird followed closely behind him, eager to speak with the Master about the many events that had transpired over the past hundred thousand years.

The moment Ye Yun began his descent, he once again activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, erasing the memories of all cultivators on Wu Kun Mountain.

While on Wu Kun Mountain, Ye Yun had already erased the cultivators' memories multiple times. He did not want anyone to witness his presence.

Ye Yun strode leisurely with his hands clasped behind his back, the Xuan bird at his side, while Big Black Cat and the others trailed further behind.

Ye Yun erected a barrier, isolating himself and the Xuan bird in a separate space.

Although the Xuan bird was merely a demon beast raised by the Divine Dragon Sect, it had lived for a hundred thousand years and should know a great deal about the sect.

"Sect Master, I have much to tell you..." The Xuan bird's expression shifted slightly as the barrier appeared, and it spoke with a solemn countenance.

"Speak," Ye Yun nodded.

Then, as if remembering something, he chuckled and said, "A hundred thousand years have passed. I am no longer the Sect Master. The current Sect Master of the Dragon God Sect is the two hundred and ninety-eighth generation's Luo Li. From now on, just call me Master."

The Xuan bird was momentarily stunned but quickly nodded in agreement.

"To think that My Divine Dragon Sect has successors... Heaven truly has eyes!"

The Xuan bird seemed quite agitated, his eyes turning slightly red.

He currently appeared as a gaunt, middle-aged man dressed in black, his complexion ashen, giving him a sickly aura.

Under the surge of emotion, a hint of color returned to his face.

"Master, not long after your fall, the Dragon God Sect was besieged by Ancient Giant Demons..." the Xuan bird said gravely.

His mood turned somber, and his vision blurred as if he had stepped into the river of time, returning to the Dragon God Sect of bygone days.

"The Ancient Giant Demons besieged the Dragon God Sect? What was the extent of the damage?" Ye Yun asked, his brow furrowing.

"Master, there weren't many Ancient Giant Demons, and with the strength of our Dragon God Sect, we could have held them off. However, the ones who truly attacked our Dragon God Sect were not the Ancient Giant Demons," the Xuan bird suddenly uttered, his words astonishing.

"Oh?" Ye Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint flashing within them.

So, the Ancient Giant Demons weren't the main force attacking the Dragon God Sect. This was truly beyond his expectations!

Qin Yao had once seen Nangong Jade leading Ancient Giant Demons to attack the Dragon God Sect. Based on the strength of the Ancient Giant Demons, they were indeed capable of contending with the Dragon God Sect.

But Ye Yun hadn't imagined that the true assailants of the Dragon God Sect were not the Ancient Giant Demons, but another party entirely.

"Who was it?" Ye Yun's voice was calm, yet it carried an indomitable will, like an impending thunderstorm.

"It was a black gate," the Xuan bird said, his expression solemn.

"A black gate?" Ye Yun's brow furrowed, a hint of shock appearing on his face.

"Master, when the Ancient Giant Demons besieged the Dragon God Sect, the battle was extremely chaotic. The Hundred Bird Forest was destroyed. At that time, my elder brother and I were too weak, no match for those Eternal Realm Ancient Giant Demons, so we planned to escape by flying away."

"But as we flew high into the sky, we saw a colossal black gate hidden within the clouds. It was open just a crack, and from that opening, countless black hairs rained down. These hairs were minute, carrying no aura whatsoever as they fell, making them almost impossible for anyone to detect."

"Many of our sect members were invaded by these black hairs. The hairs pierced their bodies. Those with low cultivation bases died instantly. While those with high cultivation bases didn't die immediately, their constitutions seemed to be severely damaged..."

As the Xuan bird spoke of this, he couldn't help but shiver, the mere thought of that enormous black gate filling him with an overwhelming sense of dread.

"This black gate... quite peculiar..." Ye Yun mused, stroking his chin with a casual smile.

Is it a magic weapon? Or perhaps a divine skill from someone in the Divine Land? Several thoughts flashed through Ye Yun's mind.

"Master, that black gate is truly strange. My elder brother and I decided to investigate, so we flew towards it. As we drew closer, we saw a hairy arm moving back and forth inside the gate. All those fine black hairs were falling from that arm..." the Xuan bird continued.

"A hairy arm?" Hearing the Xuan bird's description, Ye Yun's brow twitched sharply twice.

He had initially assumed that the enormous black gate amidst the clouds was spraying some kind of treasure as fine as ox hair.

But now, it seemed more probable that an incredibly ferocious creature was hidden inside, shedding the black hair from its arm to launch that catastrophic, heaven-sent assault.

"Master, upon seeing that black arm, my elder brother and I were greatly alarmed. We wanted to get a closer look to see what kind of monster it was. But unexpectedly, that monster discovered us! To shield me, my elder brother converted all his mana into a divine skill, sending me tens of thousands of miles away. Although I escaped, my elder brother was killed by that unknown monster..." At this point, the Xuan bird was choked with sobs, tears streaming down his face.
