Not long after, Tan Yun summoned the Tower of Longing for the Lord, allowing Dalwu to carry the Demon Ancestor of the Tranquil Sea inside the tower.
Following that, Tan Yun, Xiao Zixi, and Shen Subing also entered the tower.
Inside, the atmosphere was solemn and filled with a heavy energy, as if they were about to face a significant trial.
Tan Yun's heart raced as he looked at the unconscious form of the Demon Ancestor. He could sense the immense power contained within the Demon Ancestor, yet it was currently dormant.
"We must act quickly," Tan Yun urged, his voice steady despite the tension in the air.
Xiao Zixi stepped forward, her eyes filled with determination. "What do we need to do?"
"We need to use the Memory Ancestor Liquid," Tan Yun explained. "It can help awaken the Demon Ancestor's power and prepare him for the upcoming tribulation."
Shen Subing nodded in agreement. "We have to do this right. If we fail, it could mean disaster."
Tan Yun reached for the bottle containing the Memory Ancestor Liquid. The liquid shimmered with a faint, ethereal glow, reflecting the hopes resting on their shoulders.
"Let's do this," Tan Yun said, his voice resolute.
As he poured the liquid into the mouth of the Demon Ancestor, a wave of energy surged through the tower. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation, and soon, the Demon Ancestor began to stir.
"Is it working?" Shen Subing asked, her voice a mix of hope and anxiety.
Tan Yun watched intently as the energy flowed around them, feeling the balance of power shifting. "It’s just the beginning."
The process was lengthy and taxing, but as they focused their intentions, the energy slowly enveloped the Demon Ancestor, awakening his dormant powers.
Minutes felt like hours, and just when they thought they might have to give up, a brilliant light erupted from the Demon Ancestor, illuminating the entire tower.
Xiao Zixi gasped in awe, "Look! It's working!"
As the light dimmed, the figure of the Demon Ancestor transformed, revealing a powerful presence that resonated with authority and strength.
"Thank you," the Demon Ancestor's voice came deep and echoing, filled with gratitude. "You have awakened me."
Tan Yun felt a wave of relief wash over him. They had succeeded, but they knew that this was merely the first step in their journey.
"Now, we must prepare for the challenges ahead," Tan Yun stated, determination shining in his eyes.
The group nodded, the weight of their mission settling on their shoulders, yet filled with renewed hope for the battles to come.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, when the door of the Tower of Longing for the Lord opened, an old and hoarse yet excited voice rang out, “Hahaha, ah hahaha! This Demon Ancestor has finally recovered!”
“This Demon Ancestor is no longer confined to the bed!”
Immediately after, the Demon Ancestor of the Tranquil Sea stepped out of the tower, his aged face displaying an uncontrollable excitement.
“Congratulations, Lord Demon Ancestor!” After Dalwu stepped out of the Tower of Longing for the Lord, he knelt on one knee, filled with excitement.
“Good, good, good, no need for formalities.” After the Demon Ancestor of the Tranquil Sea spoke, he saw the weary-looking Tan Yun, Subing, and Zixi stepping out of the Tower, and he bowed deeply to the three, saying, “Thank you!”
“You’re too polite, my lord.” Tan Yun cupped his fists and said, “Now that the matters are settled, I should take my leave.”
“I’ll escort you.” The Demon Ancestor of the Tranquil Sea said.
“No need.” After Tan Yun waved his hand, he said, “Don’t forget what I told you.”
“Rest assured, I won’t tell Xi'er about you healing me.” The Demon Ancestor of the Tranquil Sea said.
“Mm, farewell.” Tan Yun cupped his fists again.
“Dalwu, see off Tan Yun.” The Demon Ancestor of the Tranquil Sea instructed.
“As you command.” Dalwu responded, while Tan Yun approached the screen leading to the outer hall. When he opened his arms to part the screen, a familiar fragrance reminiscent of young maidens wafted into his nostrils.
