Chapter 328: A Major Character from the Yu Family_2
Nuke bowed respectfully to the elder, "Nuke has seen Elder Salin, I wish you eternal peace."
Elder Salin's gaze was as clear as a baby's. As he looked at Nuke entering the temple, a gentle voice arose, "Nuke, what brings you to the temple?"
Nuke smiled, his aura surged forth, revealing his Cultivation Base of the Profound Immortal Realm without a trace of concealment. Watching Salin's expression turn to one of stiff astonishment, he laughed and said, "Junior Nuke has spent five hundred years breaking through the Profound Immortal bottleneck, successfully advancing to the Profound Immortal Realm."
Salin stared blankly at Nuke, his expression dazed and incredibly shocked, he muttered, "Profound Immortal? You've broken through the bottleneck in just five hundred years?! How is that possible?!"
Salin couldn't believe it, but the reality before his eyes didn't leave him any choice but to accept it.
Suddenly his eyes gleamed and he vanished from above the stone pillar, arriving in front of Nuke.
He examined Nuke, and upon confirming that Nuke had indeed reached the Profound Immortal Realm, he burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Blessed by our ancestors! Our Bolos Clan has actually produced such a genius! Wonderful, wonderful, hahaha!"
He laughed so hard that his body even began to tremble slightly, and he even started to cough, which made Nuke fear that Salin might laugh himself to death.
"Elder Salin?"
Gradually, Salin regained his composure. He looked at Nuke warmly and patted his shoulder, "Very good, very good, fine child. Your talent is excellent. Breaking through the Profound Immortal Realm in just five hundred years means that advancing to the Golden Immortal Realm will not be a problem. It should be possible within my lifetime to reach Golden Immortal Level cultivation, and even the Immortal Monarch Level is within the realm of hope!"
A light of expectation sparkled in Salin's eyes, "If you can achieve Immortal Monarch... you would be more than enough to become the number one person in our Three-eyed Clan, and you could bring glory to the whole Three-eyed Clan because of you!"
Nuke had not expected Salin to have such high hopes for him!
It is known that every elder of the Bolos Clan is a Golden Immortal Level powerhouse, and although Salin is not one of the mightiest trio of elders, legend has it that his cultivation has also reached the mid phase of the Golden Immortal Level.
For such a strong being to be so optimistic about him made the usually calm Nuke feel somewhat elated.
All this was brought about by Young Master Lu!
His heart brimmed with even greater gratitude towards Lu Yi.
Then he thought that merely by listening to Young Master Lu's teachings over these five hundred years, he had garnered such admiration from the elder. What heights could he reach if he were to follow Young Master Lu's side at all times?
At this thought, Nuke's emotions surged, wishing he could always be by Lu Yi's side.
"Yes, Elder Salin, I will do my best."
"Mhm," Salin nodded, then added, "Your breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Realm is no ordinary matter. I will notify the other clan elders. You wait here."
Nuke was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with a smile, "Yes!"
The confirmation of an heir is not a decision that one elder can make; it requires at least three clan elders to decide together.
Now that Salin was going to inform the other clan elders, it was clear that he was planning to change the succession order.
Naturally, this thrilled Nuke.
Salin disappeared from the spot, and before long, in the grand hall, several breaths rapidly emerged, and then one after another elder appeared atop the stone pillars.
These elders all looked at Nuke inside the hall with utter astonishment, clearly amazed at how rapidly Nuke had broken through to the Profound Immortal Realm.
Nuke behaved very humbly, respectfully nodding to each of the elders.
All of these elders were the Bolos Clan's clan elders, and each one was a Golden Immortal Level mighty figure, pillars of the Bolos Clan!
Soon, almost all the stone pillars were occupied by elders.
Just then, at the deep end of the hall, three elders appeared atop three stone pillars.
Even the other elders were stirred by the appearance of these three.
Nuke opened his eyes wide in excitement.
These three elders held the greatest authority among the Bolos Clan's triumvirate of elders!
He hadn't expected even these three to come!
"I've seen the Three Elders!" Nuke quickly said with respect.
The three elders were all white-haired, two of them men, and one an old woman.
The wrinkles on their faces were nearly piled upon each other.
The three elders with their cloudy eyes looked at Nuke and slightly nodded.
Salin also returned to his stone pillar.
At this moment, a gentle voice from among the three elders arose, "Nuke, well done. From this moment forward, you are the first-in-line successor of our Bolos Clan. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No objections."
"Merely five hundred years to break through the Profound Immortal bottleneck, such talent deserves to be the first-in-line successor!"
"..."
Not a single one of the clan elders opposed.
Nuke immediately revealed an extremely delighted smile, "Thank you, Three Elders, thank you all the clan elders!"
The Three Elders nodded slightly.
Then the elder continued to ask, "Nuke, with your talent, you should not have been able to break through the Profound Immortal Realm so quickly. What kind of opportunity did you come across?"
Nuke wasn't surprised by the Three Elders' question.
In fact, the universe is vast beyond measure, and any cultivator could stumble upon an opportunity. However, because the universe also contains beings like Heavenly Demons and Jiuyou, some opportunities might conceal deep malevolence.
If the origin is unknown, it could bring calamity to the land.
Of course, even after understanding the opportunity, the elders of the Bolos Clan had never forcibly seized the chances discovered by other clanspeople.
Indeed, in the universe, those races and families that did so have mostly perished in the river of time.
Imagine, if the older generation of cultivators takes all the opportunities found by the younger generation, in time, which of the descendants would still be willing to disclose their opportunities? The entire family would also become disconnected in unity, and eventually, it would disintegrate.
For someone like Nuke, who has only existed for over three hundred thousand years, they might not have experienced this firsthand.
But the elders have lived for tens of millions of years. Each of the Three Elders has even lived for billions of years; they are like living fossils and have personally experienced such events.
They understand best that such actions are taboo within the entire family.
Nuke hesitated for a moment, then said with a bitter smile, "Three Elders, it is not that Nuke is unwilling to speak... It's just that, this opportunity involves a few significant beings, and I need to seek their opinions."
Upon hearing this, the clan elders exchanged glances.
The Three Elders also fell silent, then the central elder asked, "Our Bolos Clan is also considered a significant force in the Three-Eyed Star Region. As the first heir to the Bolos Clan, you represent us. Do you understand this?"
Nuke took a deep breath and nodded, "Nuke understands!"
Seeing that Nuke understands the situation, there was a hint of astonishment in the eyes of the Three Elders, sparking with sharpness, "In that case, the significant beings you mentioned, who are they?"
What Nuke meant was that such entities were significant for the entire Bolos Clan.
Both the Three Elders and the other clan elders were curious about who these beings were.
Seeing the clan elders looking at him, Nuke knew in his heart that if he didn't disclose it now, it would be troublesome to explain later.
If the opportunity he obtained came from Jiuyou, it would be a ticking time bomb for the entire Bolos Clan. The clan elders of the Bolos Clan would definitely need to know the situation.
Nuke took another deep breath and said calmly, "Those several significant beings are from the Yu Family."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent, as if muted.
Then the eyes of the Three Elders sparkled, and their gazes became incredibly sharp, fixing on Nuke, "The Yu Family?! Are you referring to the high and mighty Yu Family?!"
Nuke cracked a smile, "Naturally, it is the rulers of our Sky Falling Star Domain, the Yu Family."
All the clan elders were suddenly in an uproar, discussing fervently.
"Quiet!"
One of the Three Elders' voice sounded, and the other clan elders immediately fell silent.
The Three Elders approached Nuke, the aged face now in front of Nuke, who was somewhat embarrassed.
The muddy eyes of the Three Elders glinted sharply.
"Nuke, do you have contact with the people from the Yu Family?!"
Their breathing became somewhat hurried.
To know, the Yu Family is a supremely exalted clan! Although the Bolos Clan in the Three-Eyed Star Region is a top force, its strongest member is only at the Golden Immortal Realm.
And a Golden Immortal in the Yu Family can only be considered passably good. Above Golden Immortals are beings of the Immortal Monarch Level, and even higher are old ancestors of the Immortal Venerable Level.
The Yu Family has more than one Immortal Venerable ancestor!
The gap between them was just too big!
Just by sending an Immortal Monarch, the Yu Family could destroy the entire Three-Eyed Star Region without any resistance.
In the past, even if the Bolos Clan wanted to establish a connection with the Yu Family, there was no opportunity to do so.
But now, their descendant had made a connection with the Yu Family?!
This made the three ancient ancestors, who lived for billions of years, feel deeply moved and fluctuated in their thoughts.
