Bai Ao Xian and the others came to Cloud Heart Palace and were all stunned when they saw the white halo of light.

This was... Grand Elder Su Yun?

They were slightly stunned. How was this possible!

In the ruins a hundred years or so ago, the grand elder had been sacrificed in order to stop the pursuit of the Desert Sword Sect.

This was news from the Desert Sword Sect.

They had not wanted to believe it. They had investigated for decades, but in the end, they found nothing.

They had given up.

But now...

The first elder was standing in front of them unscathed. How could this not shock them?

Furthermore, looking at the first elder's aura, they noticed that there was a hint of dominance in it. She was an Emperor now.

Hiss!

Could it be that the person who just broke through to the Great Emperor Realm was Grand Elder Su Yun.

All the elders, including Bai Ao Xian, were stunned. They could not believe what they were seeing. It was as if they were in a dream.

"What? You don't even recognize me anymore?" Elder Su Yun slowly turned around.

It was really Grand Elder Su Yun!

After confirming it, they let out a cry of surprise.

Then, these people gathered around and Bai Ao Xian said excitedly, "Grand elder, aren't you..."

The others were also full of curiosity.

After all, they had been searching for decades, but they still had not found any trace of the grand elder.

"I was dead, but not completely dead!"

Grand Elder Su Yun said with a smile.

This?

Did the grand elder speak such abstract words now?

Never mind Bai Ao Xian, the other elders were also confused. Even Elder Tian Xuan, who had the closest relationship with the first elder, was stunned.

She stared at Su Yun. If it was not for the familiar aura coming from her body, she would have felt as if Su Yun had been possessed.

"I jumped down the thousand-foot tall cliff and was severely injured. My entire body was paralyzed.

"Fortunately, I later discovered a heaven and earth spirit fruit and gradually recovered a trace of spiritual energy. After that, my injuries slowly recovered."

Following Su Yun's story, everyone could feel the sense of alarm in their hearts.

Where was this thousand-foot tall cliff? What kind of place was it?

They understood in their hearts that there were many demonic beasts there. No one had ever come out alive from there. Even those mighty figures were unable to break this curse.

One could imagine how dangerous it was. It was definitely boss-level.

Elder Su Yun had actually managed to come out alive. It had to be said that the heavens had blessed their Heavenly Snow Palace. Now that the first elder had returned, the threat of the Desert Sword Sect was no longer as dire.

The highest cultivation level of the Desert Sword Sect was quasi-emperor. In front of an Emperor, they were like children. They were nothing.

If one came, one would die. If one came, one would die.

Everyone thought so. When they heard that Elder Su Yun had returned to the sect, their eyes widened.

Su Yun smiled and looked at them. "Yes, I have returned to the Heavenly Snow Palace. At that time, with the restorative power of the numinous treasure, my injuries had mostly healed. Then, I returned to the Heavenly Snow Palace and went into hiding. I did not acknowledge you.

"I knew that the great Desert Sword Sect was ambitious and would definitely not let go of this opportunity, so I quietly hid in the dark, preparing to catch them off guard."

Su Yun indeed thought so.

Ah...

Hearing that Elder Su Yun had actually returned to the Heavenly Snow Palace, they were all stunned.

Because they had not received any news, and they had even searched for a long time in the cloud cliff area. No wonder they had not come across any news of the first elder.

It turned out that the first elder had already arrived at the Heavenly Snow Palace.

How could they find any news of the first elder outside? However, it was clear that the first elder was worrying too much. The Desert Sword Sect did not attack them.

This was also beyond their expectations. Although they did not know the reason, it was better this way. They took advantage of this period of time to work hard to increase their strength in order to deal with the Desert Sword Sect's future ambush.

Through Elder Su Yun's story, they knew all of the causes and consequences. Now, they felt at ease.

"First Elder, what is your realm?"

In the past hundred years, she had already broken through to the peak of the Quasi-emperor Realm. Although she was only one realm away from becoming an Emperor, there had still been quite a gap between her and the Emperor Realm.

Why did her cultivation increase so quickly? Now, she had already become an Emperor.

"It's all thanks to Senior Ye's help that I was able to break through the shackles and become an Emperor!"

Elder Su Yun's eyes were filled with reverence as she spoke. She once again bowed towards Ye Changge's position.

Senior Ye?

Hearing this, no one showed any big reactions. They all felt that it was only natural.

What kind of character was Senior Ye? He was a peerless expert who could easily suppress a Taotie. Although they did not know Senior Ye's exact cultivation level, they believed that he must be extremely powerful.

His disciples were already Great Emperors. With a few casual pointers, it would be extremely easy for First Elder Su Yun to break through to the realm of Great Emperors.

With this thought in mind, the elders, led by Bai Ao Xian, once again thought of Ye Changge's position and bowed respectfully.

The Heavenly Snow Palace would never be able to repay this favor.

"No need to be so polite!"

Ye Changge raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force immediately dragged them down.

In reality, First Elder Su Yun was only one step away from becoming an Emperor. He had only helped them a little, and his help was insignificant.

Furthermore, he would not stay in the Heavenly Snow Palace forever. This was not his place.

The myriad realms of the universe were where he belonged. The people of the Heavenly Snow Palace had saved his disciple, and the chaos origin was not as important as his disciple.

That was why Ye Changge was being so generous before he left. He did not want to see the Heavenly Snow Palace be swallowed by the Desert Sword Sect.

"Senior Ye, I'll take you to the forbidden area of the sect now!"

Bai Ao Xian had already told their first elder about the Heavenly Inquiring Stone through voice transmission.

She had also received approval.

Although the Heavenly Inquiring Stone was important, it could not compare to Senior Ye's favor. Moreover, they were willing to form a good relationship to repay Senior Ye's gifts.

More importantly, the other elders also sent a voice transmission to Su Yun, telling her about Bai Ao Xian and Ye Changge.

This time, First Elder Su Yun was even more satisfied.

She kept staring at Bai Ao Xian, making her feel embarrassed and her face flushed red.

It was fine if the other elders teased them, but why did the first elder give her the same look? The first elder had watched her grow up, and she was like her mother.

Now that she looked at her like that, her expression turned embarrassed, and she wished she could lower her head to her chest.

Ye Changge was not embarrassed. After experiencing so many things, his expression had long become as unyielding as an iron wall. This was nothing at all to him.

"Alright, let's go, Ning Manman!"

Now that they had finally gotten to the main subject of interest, they walked back toward the mountainside of the sect.

The Cloud Heart Palace was not far from the forbidden area of the sect, so they quickly arrived here. It was the same place that Ye Changge had sensed before, and it was also this place that prevented his divine senses from entering.

In front of them was a hundred thousand-foot tall peak, and there was a huge plaque that ran across the middle of the peak. It read 'The forbidden area of the Langya Pavilion'!

There was an incomparably huge black door, and it was densely covered with black runes, emitting a strange aura. Ye Changge's divine senses entered it, but to his surprise, he was unable to penetrate it.

He was immediately interested.
