Qing Lin and Gu Xun'er flew to the Gu Clan's conference hall, greeted by many with smiles. Frankly, the faint aura they exude is not something ordinary people could resist.
After inheriting the Serpentine-Dragon Inheritance, Qing Lin's aura is like a noble creature on Earth. Each step she carries comes with extraordinary charm that ripples one's heart.
On the other hand, Gu Xun'er, who has reached peak Half-Saint and possesses Gu Clan's ancient bloodline, appeared to be more refined and dignified. She's no longer just a young heiress but a young lady with backbone.
Gu Xun'er looked around and noticed the clan's atmosphere was a bit off, "So, what's good news that my father gets to make you this happy, Sister?"
"I honestly don't know." Qing Lin smiled faintly. "An elder just visited my cave abode and told me your father wanted us in the conference hall soon before disappearing."
"Well, that must be the ninth elder." Gu Xun'er was helpless.
"Hmph, the ninth elder is usually in charge of information in and out of the Gu Realm. He wouldn't get this excited unless a drastic change happened in the outside world."
"Outside world, huh?" Qing Lin mumbled dreamily. "I have been living like a hermit after that day."
"We all do, Sister Qing." Gu Xun'er grabbed Qing Lin's hand, easing the complicated mood.
Qing Lin smiled because of Gu Xun Er's gesture. "Thanks."
After that, they passed several snow-covered mountains and arrived at the Gu Clan's conference hall. Several elders were already seated warmly, and Gu Yuan sat on the lofty patriarch's seat on the far end.
"Miss Qing, Xun'er, sit down." Gu Yuan greeted with a smile.
Qing Lin and Gu Xun'er nodded before sitting on empty chairs not far away, staring at Gu Yuan for the so-called news.
Gu Yuan cleared his throat and said, "A while ago, our elders sensed someone's breakthrough outside."
"Not just one, but two of them."
"Breakthrough?" Gu Xun'er frowned slightly. Her father wouldn't call her just because of someone's breakthrough.
Unless this breakthrough was too shocking.
Like Dou God Realm breakthrough!
Qing Lin also had a similar thought, so she stared at Gu Yuan patiently.
Looking at their expression, Gu Yuan nodded calmly and continued, "If you are thinking about the Dou God Realm's breakthrough, then you guessed right."
"That's right. Just now, the ninth elder returned from the outside world and shared news about two Dou God's breakthroughs."
"Both successful!"
Everyone in the room sucked a cold breath. Who doesn't know about the legendary, untouchable realm?
The Gu Clan's elders have lived for centuries, and their cultivation base is at the Half-Saint, if not Dou Saint, Realm. They yearned to reach the Dou God Realm, but their foundation and strength weren't enough.
Even their clan patriarch, Gu Yuan, is still far from reaching the Dou God Realm.
"W-Who reached Dou God Realm?" asked an elder with a stutter.
Gu Xun'er tapped her finger on the table and made a guess, "Senior Lan Rou?"
Gu Yuan was stunned because Gu Xun'er guessed correctly and laughed somewhat joyfully, "As expected of my daughter."
"You are right. One of the new Dou Gods is none other than the Orchid Immortal, Lan Rou..."
"No, we should probably call her the Orchid God now."
"Lan Rou..." Qing Lin was in a trance. She didn't expect Lan Rou to reach the Dou God Realm first.
Then, again. Lan Rou's status is a bit special. She wasn't only the Orchid Ancestor of the Yin-Yang Orchid Clan but also the bearer of the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, which can reincarnate her six times.
Based on Qing Lin's understanding, Lan Rou has been reincarnated four if not five times.
The accumulation of all those reincarnations brought to Lan Rou's strength is unimaginable.
Even Qing Lin, who possessed the rare Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and Serpentine-Dragon's inheritance, was still one or two steps behind Lan Rou.
The elders were also amazed by Lan Rou's achievement. They sighed in helplessness.
Gu Yuan was satisfied by everyone's reaction and continued calmly, "It is a happy occasion. However, don't be too happy."
"After all, the other Dou God is our enemy."
The conference hall immediately froze.
"D-Don't tell me someone from Hun Clan has broken through?" asked one of the elders in disbelief.
Gu Yuan nodded lightly, "Not long after Orchid God's breakthrough, a similar phenomenon appeared outside the Gu Realm. The phenomenon was also weird as a giant beast appeared and swallowed the sky. It seems the Hun Clan has gained a strong helper."
"But don't worry, someone from the Behemoth Paradise has sent us an invitation letter."
"An invitation letter?"
Gu Yuan smiled and explained, "All forces that oppose the evil Hall of Souls and Hun Clan shall gather at the Fallen Orchid Mountain Range and form an alliance."
"Dou Qi Alliance!"
"We shall stand together to fight evil and free this world from everlasting tumors!"
The elders were all excited. The failure at the Gu Sacred Mountain Range made them feel humiliated for the second time after the rare medicine was stolen back then.
With the sudden forming of the Dou Qi Alliance, they could wash both humiliations and wipe out hostile forces like the Hall of Souls and Hun Clan.
Of course, the initiation from the Behemoth Paradise is a trigger that could make this happen. After all, people learn only that such a mysterious and powerful force existed recently.
Gu Yuan closed his eyes and opened them gently, "The other Ancient Clans and forces also have received the same invitation. Who would have thought we would unite to fight the Hall of Souls and Hun Clan after all these years."
"They deserve it. They have done so much evil in this continent!" An elder furiously stated. "They tried to hide it from us, but the gathering of strong souls from the Hall of Souls is definitely a sinister plot to increase their wicked strength!"
"They think they can keep us in the dark, but they can't!"
"Patriarch, as the elder, I agree to join the Dou Qi Alliance!"
"Me too!" Another elder's voice rang, followed by one and another.
Gu Yuan laughed, "Good, my Gu Clan is very energetic indeed."
"Xun'er, you will lead the seventh, fifth, and grand elder to the Fallen Orchid Mountain Range as the representatives of our Gu Clan."
"Very well, Father. I will follow your order." Gu Xun'er responded with all seriousness.
Qing Lin pursed her lips and asked, "Patriarch Gu, is he... back?"
The room suddenly becomes quiet.
Some elders don't get why Qing Lin asks such questions, but Gu Yuan and Gu Xun'er know what she means.
Gu Yuan stared at Qing Lin and nodded solemnly, "When Orchid God is breaking through, the ninth elder reported that a sharp blade light is cutting the heavenly tribulation lightning a few times."
"In fact, those sharp blade lights are the reason why Orchid God could successfully break into the legendary realm."
Drip! Drip!
"Miss/Saintess/Sister!" Everyone was shocked that Qing Lin abruptly cried.
They could see Qing Lin release crystal tears and smile happily.
Qing Lin stared at the distance and whispered softly, "Thank god."
"I know you would come back for us."
"Ain..."
