"Clan Leader, feel free to speak your mind."

Jin Yao replied.

"If I'm not mistaken, Domain Master Jin Yao is a person of great destiny, having never faced setbacks."

"However... in the near future, you may encounter a major setback."

"My cultivation is lacking, and I cannot see clearly, nor can I predict a specific solution for you..."

"However, I have a phrase you can consider."

"No matter what happens in the future, you must keep your goals firm and trust 'the only person,' because... they will never harm you."

Upon hearing these words, Jin Yao was also taken aback.

"I boldly guess that 'the only person' should be your master behind the scenes."

Seeing Jin Yao's expression, Tian You continued to offer advice.

"Thank you, Clan Leader, for the guidance."

Jin Yao said with a fist salute.

"Clan Leader, what do you think... of Illusion?"

Jin Yao gazed forward and asked quietly.

.....

Upon hearing this, Tian You was silent for a long while before slowly saying, "She is very good."

With this answer, Jin Yao already had a conclusion in mind; these words were enough.

Jin Yao had been laying out plans in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years, and the disciples under her command were all exceptionally outstanding, each shining on the great stage of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm.

Her disciples had all become Saint Sons and Saintesses of more than half of the Great Sacred Lands and great powers within the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, and had gained control over a significant portion of the realm's power, wielding immense energy.

Some of her disciples were truly remarkable, with many becoming sect leaders and leaders of various factions.

.....

There were so many excellent disciples that she became dazzled, unable to find a core successor to inherit her teachings.

Therefore, the true meaning behind her question to Tian You was inquiring whether... Illusion could become her inheritor, her core true successor.

"Miss Jin Yao, you need not be confused; trust your inner choices."

"Your choices are all correct."

Tian You said with a smile.

....

"This Dragon Vein contains such abundant resources, I must send people to mine it."

"I apologize for the inconvenience in advance, and I hope the Clan Leader will understand."

After composing herself, Jin Yao brought the topic back to business.

"There is no need for Miss Jin Yao to worry about this; our clan has secretly cultivated a legion."

"Named 'Celestial Secret Guard.'

...

"These 'Celestial Secret Guards' are not from our Celestial Secret Race."

"But they are absolutely trustworthy, and their strength is formidable, fully capable of handling resource transportation tasks."

Tian You had already made arrangements a long time ago.

....

The Celestial Secret Guard is a highly special and powerful legion, the culmination of the Celestial Secret Race's accumulated foundation over countless epochs.

In ages past, the Celestial Secret Race, to avoid calamities, had always been moving between major worlds and celestial domains.

Throughout this process, the Celestial Secret Race, using their ability to foresee the future and predict calamities, assisted many forces in various great worlds and celestial domains.

As a result, they gained a group of absolutely loyal "Death Warriors," each possessing immense talent, formidable strength, and unwavering loyalty to the Celestial Secret Race.

.....

Upon hearing this, Jin Yao was quite surprised.

This Celestial Secret Race.... seemed to have everything prepared, not needing any worry at all.

"These resources, I will have the 'Dark Guard' extract, and then secretly transport them to the Great Woe Immortal Realm to help it prepare for the future domain war, improving efficiency and reducing losses in future wars."

"However... it seems like the Great Woe Immortal Realm has been sealed off; the path is blocked, and the resources might not get in."

Tian You said word by word.

"There's no need to worry about this."

"I will relay this information accurately to my elder brother and the others."

"They will open the blockade array of the Great Woe Immortal Realm, ensuring your resources are successfully delivered."

Jin Yao answered.

...

"Then it will be in your hands."

Tian You replied with a smile.

....

Hearing this, Jin Yao was also taken aback.

In your hands?

Shouldn't it be me saying in your hands?

This was Jin Yao's first contact with the Celestial Secret Race, and they not only took the initiative to join but also seemed to be exceedingly ingratiating. Why did it feel... like the Celestial Secret Race was overly attentive?

"Clan Leader, if you have any requests, feel free to state them."

Jin Yao understood clearly that the opposite party couldn't possibly be offering such help for no reason; there must be a purpose behind it.

....

"Miss Jin Yao, rest assured.

"We have no other intentions."

"We only seek... a path to survive, nothing more."

Tian You answered.

"Clan Leader, I'll say it again, if you join us, I can't guarantee much else, but I can absolutely assure you of your 'peaceful survival.'

Jin Yao spoke resolutely and firmly.

...

Jin Yao stayed with the Celestial Secret Race for three days and came to understand their circumstances.

Currently, the Celestial Secret Race has a total of five thousand clansmen, which sounds like a lot, but is actually pitifully few....

In the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, even a small family usually starts with tens of thousands, while top Great Immortal Races have hundreds of thousands or even millions of clansmen. Yet the legendary Celestial Secret Race only consisted of a meager five thousand people.

Nonetheless, this small group of five thousand people has managed to awe countless forces and races across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

The surname of the Celestial Secret Race is "Tian," a surname Jin Yao encountered for the first time and found exceedingly rare.

Only the Celestial Secret Race dares to bear the surname "Tian."

.....

Tian You, the white-haired man, is the current Clan Leader of the Celestial Secret Race, and his true cultivation level is quite low.

Only at the Golden Core Realm, yet his concealment skills are extremely clever; Jin Yao couldn't discern his specific cultivation when they first met.

Not just Tian You, but the entire Celestial Secret Race has relatively low cultivation levels, with the Golden Core Realm being considered top-tier.

The Golden Core Realm, considered formidable in lower small worlds, is a pathetically weak realm in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm.

Frankly speaking, in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, the Golden Core Realm is no different from ants.

Yet this group of cultivators, only at the Golden Core Realm, has become the legendary race among the Ten Thousand Realms, relying on their ability to foresee the future.

.....

Today, Jin Yao also planned to leave.

On the day she was leaving, Tian You personally accompanied her to the village gate.

"Clan Leader, I must leave now."

Having grasped the situation, Jin Yao couldn't remain there any longer as many matters awaited her outside.

"I understand; it is indeed a critical period for you now. Miss Jin Yao is about to become the Vice Domain Master of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, a crucial step in your plans, and we cannot delay."

Tian You slowly said.

"Miss Jin Yao."

"I dare to... present something to your master."

"Of course, it's also my superior."

Saying this, Tian You took something out from his sleeve.
