Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping exchanged a glance, both sensing the extraordinary nature of the Ancestor Sect.

They did not reveal the aura of their cultivation, yet it was still discerned.

Chu Nan was especially surprised, as it was the first time someone could see through his origins without him manifesting the Third Heaven Sea of Clouds.

For a moment, Chu Nan held the Ancestor Sect in higher regard.

"Since you two wish to join the Ancestor Sect, we welcome you warmly; please enter."

As the words fell, the portal of the Ancestor Sect slowly opened, emitting a deep rumbling sound.

The Ancestor Sect members were certainly exuberant individuals, whether due to a lack of caution or profound confidence, allowing them entry without inquiring about their identities.

Zhi Tianping showed signs of hesitation and dread for the first time since leaving the Zhi Family Secret Realm.

After all, being seen through in an instant and generously invited inside was simply unfathomable.

Connecting this with some bizarre rumors about the Ancestor Sect, Zhi Tianping couldn't help but wonder if it was a trap.

Despite Chu Nan's low cultivation, he stepped into the Ancestor Sect without hesitation.

Although the Ancestor Sect was strange, Chu Nan felt he had the means to calmly handle any danger he might encounter.

If he showed hesitation now, it would only make the Ancestor Sect underestimate him.

Seeing Chu Nan had already walked in, Zhi Tianping cursed himself inwardly, "Zhi Tianping, you're such a waste, unable to even compare to a Cloud Sea Realm junior!"

Following closely, Zhi Tianping stepped into the Ancestor Sect after Chu Nan.

Beyond the door, the density of Spiritual Energy intensified, far surpassing the strength outside the portal by twenty times!

Even a casual breath would reveal the rich Spiritual Energy, causing Chu Nan to marvel once again; the top powers in the Imperial Capital were truly extraordinary.

After crossing the doorway, a green-robed martial artist had been awaiting them for a while, saying, "If you two wish to join the Ancestor Sect, please follow me."

Judging by the voice, Chu Nan realized this was the martial artist who had just spoken with them.

Following him forward, Chu Nan asked, "Dear friend, how did you discern our cultivation levels?"

The green-robed martial artist chuckled softly, then replied, "Our Ancestor Sect's Overlooking Gate was forged before the two realms were divided, and it is an emperor-grade Spirit Martial."

"It's not just your cultivation levels; even if they're Ninth Heaven Martial Artists, the Overlooking Gate's probing would reveal them."

Chu Nan realized this, unable to resist glancing back and telling Zhi Tianping, "A portal itself is an emperor-grade Spirit Martial; are the powers in the Imperial Capital all this terrifying?"

Zhi Tianping knew what Chu Nan was pondering, merely estimating the strength of the Royal Family and Strong Races.

"Rest assured, although the Strong Races are powerful, they don't lavishly forge portals into emperor-grade Spirit Martial. Even in the Imperial Capital, emperor-grade Spirit Martial are rare treasures."

Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief; if the Royal Family and Strong Races were as ludicrous as the Ancestor Sect's strength, he might as well flee now.

In the face of such terrifying power, he wouldn't even have the right to struggle.

Soon, the green-robed martial artist guided Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping to a grand hall, where an elder with black hair and a youthful face sat cross-legged, wearing a long robe stained with blood.

Although the elder appeared wise and ethereal, beneath him lay a demon beast, eviscerated with blood and organs scattered everywhere, looking pitifully tragic as it had been vivisected to death.

The elder's gaze was fixed on the demon beast's corpse, entirely unaware of Chu Nan's presence, muttering, "Too weak, really too weak; this bloodline is too weak!"

Chu Nan's eyes narrowed, his heart trembled slightly; he discovered the beast beneath the elder was a Primordial Demon Beast.

However, its Ancestral Bloodline was exceedingly faint, barely stronger than an Earth Qi Roaring Tiger.

"Elder, two individuals seek to join us; please make introductions," the green-robed martial artist respectfully stated, and the elder suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Chu Nan.

Boom!

The moment the elder looked up, Chu Nan felt a powerful aura rush towards him, the elder's cultivation no less than Zhi Tianping's.

"Such a strong martial artist; just how deep is the foundation of this Ancestor Sect!" Chu Nan thought in surprise, remaining highly vigilant.

Zhi Tianping also showed signs of caution, sensing a subtle threat from the elder.

Whoosh~

The elder didn't even glance at Zhi Tianping, quickly moving before Chu Nan, sniffing around him excitedly.

Seeing the elder in such a state, Chu Nan felt a chill, somewhat regretting coming to the Ancestor Sect.

"You old pervert, what are you doing!" Zhi Tianping shouted, unable to refrain, seeing the elder acting so bizarrely.

The elder paid him no heed, shuddering as he sniffed, then said, "Impressive, impressive; a little demon beast dares to come to my Ancestor Sect, your courage amazes me!"

The elder straightened, looking down at Chu Nan, a faint smile on his lips.

Chu Nan's expression shifted, suspecting the elder had discerned his Ancestral Bloodline.

"Unexpectedly, the Ancestor Sect can detect my bloodline aura by scent alone; how dreadful!"

It was his first time encountering such a situation, feeling as if he were facing a great enemy.

Ultimately, Chu Nan explained, "Elder, you jest; I am a pure human martial artist, merely having devoured much demon beast essence blood during cultivation."

"With your cultivation, you should see at a glance whether I'm human or beast."

As he spoke, Chu Nan quietly tightened his grip on his storage bag, ready to summon Lu Yao and escape the Ancestor Sect without hesitation if the elder coveted his Ancestral Bloodline, preferably putting as much distance from the Imperial Capital as possible!

The elder stared at Chu Nan for a long time, his expression growing colder, then suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Hahaha, I knew from the start that you're human, just wanted to tease you."

The elder's tone seemed relaxed, but Chu Nan dared not lower his guard in the slightest.

"Elder, you truly have a sense of humor," Chu Nan replied with a sardonic smile.

Zhi Tianping had already been seeking a suitable escape route.

Then the elder turned back to his previous position, smiling as he said, "This old man is Mo Yi, an elder of the Ancestor Sect. May I know your names and why you wish to join us?"

Mo Yi's gaze continuously evaluated Chu Nan, finding him more intriguing than Zhi Tianping, whom he thought less interesting despite being Second Heaven.

"I am Chu Nan from Qingxuan Province, seeking to join the Ancestor Sect to remain long-term in the Imperial Capital!" Chu Nan generously admitted his identity without concealing anything.

In the Imperial Capital, even if he wanted to hide it, it wouldn't be long before everyone knew; honesty would lessen any barriers.

After all, if Chu Nan joined the Ancestor Sect, barring any unexpected circumstance, he would be dependent on it for the foreseeable future.

Zhi Tianping cast Chu Nan a shocked glance, then shook his head with a bitter smile, ultimately confessing, "Former Imperial Capital Strong Race, current Fourth Ancestor of the Zhi family, Zhi Tianping!"

The green-robed martial artist who led Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping showed little reaction to Chu Nan's identity, yet was significantly astonished by Zhi Tianping's self-introduction.

The elder eyed Zhi Tianping curiously, remarking, "Zhi family... you dare roam outside, unafraid of falling into madness, turning into bloodthirsty monsters?"
