Inside the base of the Ootsutsuki Clan, at this moment, a subordinate in charge of communications arrived to report.
The one being questioned was a high-ranking member of the Ootsutsuki Clan, yet at this moment, they were being very cautious, not daring to act arrogantly, and stood before a young woman.
This woman possessed a beauty that could drive any ordinary person mad with jealousy. Her long pink hair flowed gracefully over her shoulders, and her facial features were exquisite and delicate, her skin fair as if she had stepped out of a painting, like an immortal fairy.
If Senju Yukika had been there, he would surely have been astonished to find that this woman bore a striking resemblance to Ootsutsuki Kaguya.
The difference between the two was subtle: Ootsutsuki Kaguya exuded nobility and elegance, brimming with mystery.
However, the woman before him seemed as innocent as a young girl, with no aura of authority, looking entirely mortal.
Nevertheless, the person standing before her was trembling, not daring to lift their head to look at her.
This was because the legendary ancestor of the Ootsutsuki Clan had a temper that was notoriously peculiar. She never allowed any man to look at her. If someone dared to look at her, her eyes would be gouged out.
She was so cruel that even her own clan members were not spared. The other two great ancestors knew well about her temper and dared not indulge in her lingering affection.
"Have you found him? It's been so long, with your efficiency, there should be nothing left for him to hide, right?"
The voice of the pink-haired woman was cold, slowly ringing out.
However, the Ootsutsuki clansman before her wore a bitter expression and forced a smile as he replied, "Ancestor, we've activated the power of the entire planet, but we have completely lost his trace."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to utter another word.
There was no doubt they had messed this up, and even facing the ancestor's punishment, they had no excuses to offer.
The pink-haired woman took a slow breath and then spoke, "After all, he's a divine realm powerhouse. It's not unusual that you can't find him."
The person before her was somewhat surprised. When had the previously temperamental ancestor become so compassionate, speaking up for him?
Just as he was slightly stunned, the pink-haired woman continued, "Since that's the case, you can stop for now. Leave this matter to me."
"What? Ancestor..."
Upon hearing the pink-haired woman's words, everyone in the clan was shocked!
Could it be that the legendary ancestor was truly leaving the family base to search for the divine being on that planet?
After all, the three great ancestors had not left this place in many years, and that divine being came from the vast universe, shrouded in mystery. No one even knew what kind of god he was or how powerful he was.
In such an adversarial situation, wasn't it risky for an ancestor to personally search for him?
But these thoughts were not spoken aloud, as the clansman feared the ancestor's punishment.
After the pink-haired woman spoke, her figure gradually began to fade from the spot. She seemed to transform into a wisp of faint pink smoke, flowing with the air currents in the space and gradually disappearing into the base.
At this moment, thousands of miles away, in Stone City, Senju Yukika suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart and looked in a certain direction.
His spiritual pressure could extend over a vast distance, but it could not directly touch the Ootsutsuki Clan's base.
However, in that instant, he sensed the presence of someone with strength comparable to his own, actively searching for him.
"Interesting. I haven't gone to visit you, yet you're coming to find me?"
Senju Yukika muttered to himself.
Suddenly, there was a knock at his door, and Shangguan entered.
After a brief internal struggle, Shangguan could no longer hold back and approached Senju Yukika.
Before Shangguan could speak, Senju Yukika took the initiative, saying, "I've been focused on cultivation these past few days, so I haven't had the chance to guide you."
Shangguan felt a warmth in his heart and quickly nodded, "It's no trouble, Master. Actually, there's something else I need to discuss with you today."
Senju Yukika raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What's the matter?"
Shangguan thought for a moment before saying, "There's no need to hide it from you, Master. I've come to look for a notorious demon race."
Senju Yukika remained silent, simply watching him, knowing there was more to the story.
Shangguan continued, "This person's master practices a very unique technique that can significantly increase power in a short time, and there are no side effects!"
Although Senju Yukika didn't speak, he was surprised.
There were many ways to increase power, but as Shangguan said, the fact that this technique had no side effects was unusual.
From Senju Yukika's understanding, he had only heard of such a technique once before.
He knew that the natural order was fair, and that no one's cultivation could be achieved overnight—it was a gradual process. But cultivation could be fast or slow, depending on one's path.
So, gaining strength in a short time was akin to violating the fairness of the natural order, which would result in consequences. This was often called the "Heaven's punishment."
But the technique of the demon lord's cultivation could increase power by a great extent in a short time, with no apparent side effects. That was shocking.
Now Senju Yukika understood why Shangguan had worked so hard to track down the demon race—to steal this technique for himself.
Such a technique, even if not on this planet, would be highly sought after on any planet in the vast universe!
After some thought, Senju Yukika asked, "Do you have any news of this demon?"
Shangguan shook his head with a bitter smile, "No, but I have a way to find out where this demon is going."
"Oh? What's that?"
Senju Yukika was curious.
Shangguan explained, "It's the image of the stone wall left by the Stone City Lord."
Seeing Senju Yukika's confusion, Shangguan elaborated, "Anyone who leaves Stone City is recorded by the stone wall's images as they pass by the city gates. These records are complete."
"So, if we find the Stone City Lord and get the information from the stone wall's records, we can learn the demon's appearance and even assess their strength!"
Senju Yukika nodded thoughtfully, "I see. So, you'll be able to gather more clues from this demon."
He then asked, "Why don't you just go straight to the Stone City Lord?"
As soon as he spoke, he saw Shangguan's face turn bitter, shaking his head and replying, "Master, you don't understand. The Stone City Lord holds a high position and is the ruler of one of the thirty-six main cities of the Raksha Kingdom. He looks down on me, a mere sect disciple!"
