The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

"Alright, I'll take care of it immediately!"

The Grand Elder of the Ten Directions Holy Sect promptly nodded, taking several Saint Realm cultivators under his command and rushing toward Zhongzhou.

They continuously tore through the void.

Their speed was nothing short of terrifying.

Under such circumstances, the Grand Elder's body endured immense spatial pressure, but for the safety of the Ten Directions Holy Sect's base, he had no choice but to proceed at maximum speed, even surpassing his limits.

Otherwise, the sect would face imminent peril!

"The rest of you, follow me to Dizhou's Nantian Sword Sect. Sect Master Ye should be there. Only by teaming up with him can we confront Situ Ding."

The Ten Directions Saint Emperor glanced at those around him, spoke these words, then swept his wide sleeves, carrying the nearby sect elders and disciples as he tore through the void.

In an instant,

they disappeared without a trace.

…

Dizhou, Nantian Sword Sect.

The Ten Directions Saint Emperor arrived with his followers and quickly stopped at the gates of the mountain sect.

"Ten Directions Saint Emperor!"

"Senior, why have you come?"

Two stone sculptures at the gates promptly cracked open, transforming into two Saint Realm elders. They hurriedly held horsetail whisks and approached with polite cupped hands.

"Is Sect Master Ye of the Misty Sect here?"

The Ten Directions Saint Emperor hastily asked.

"Sect Master Ye?"

The two Saint Realm elders of the Nantian Sword Sect exchanged glances. Both shook their heads and pointed in the direction of the Sacred Spirit Sect in Tianzhou, speaking one after another:

"Several days ago, Sect Master Ye visited our Nantian Sword Sect. However, afterward, the Saint Son Lin Kun and Saintess Ning Yu of the Sacred Spirit Sect invited Sect Master Ye to their sect."

"If you head over now, you might be able to find him."

Upon hearing this, the Ten Directions Saint Emperor smacked his forehead.

"Ah!"

"I missed him again."

"Thank you both. Farewell!"

The Ten Directions Saint Emperor cupped his hands in gratitude, then flew alone into the sky, heading toward the Sacred Spirit Sect in Tianzhou. As for the Ten Directions Holy Sect elders and disciples who had originally been traveling with him, they were now contained within his internal micro-world.

"What's going on?"

"No idea!"

The two Saint Realm elders of the Nantian Sword Sect exchanged glances, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"The Ten Directions Saint Emperor is injured!"

A nearby Quasi-Saint spoke up, "I recently saw the images transmitted from Myriad Clans Continent and learned that Situ Ding of the Number One Divine Sect critically injured the Ten Directions Saint Emperor."

"Situ Ding… Who is that?"

The two Saint Realm elders grew even more perplexed.

They had been stationed at the gates of the Nantian Sword Sect day and night, only occasionally paying attention to matters near their sect, and were completely unaware of events on the Myriad Clans Continent.

"He's the sect master of the Number One Divine Sect, the first disciple of the Ancient Emperor, and a top-tier powerhouse at the fifth peak of the Hundred Tribulations Realm."

The Quasi-Saint quickly explained.

Upon learning about the situation, the two elders grew increasingly alarmed.

In the starry sky,

the Ten Directions Saint Emperor was rushing ahead at full speed.

"I hope I'll make it in time!"

He clutched his chest, healing himself while moving forward at maximum speed, fearful of being caught by Situ Ding.

What he didn't know was...

Situ Ding, accompanied by the Thunder Emperor's clone, was heading toward the deepest part of the spatial crevices that led to the Ancient Emperor Realm.

Elsewhere.

Zhongzhou.

The Grand Elder of the Ten Directions Holy Sect returned safely, gazing upon the intact sect and letting out a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, follow me!"

The Grand Elder wasted no time explaining further; he quickly extended his large hand and unsealed the Sect Protection Array at the mountain gate. He lifted the mountains and rivers within a radius of ten thousand miles, compressing them into the size of a palm.

"Where to next?"

He paused to ponder.

Zhongzhou was dangerous and could no longer be a refuge.

Though the Supreme Holy Sect, overseen by the Thunder Emperor, was here, the Thunder Emperor could not intervene. In the face of crisis, he had to find a safer place to hide.

"Forget it, I'll move first and decide later."

The Grand Elder carried the miniaturized landscape of the Ten Directions Holy Sect in both hands and flew into the starry sky depths, taking the opportunity to contact the Ten Directions Saint Emperor for his coordinates.

Before long,

someone discovered that the entire Ten Directions Holy Sect had vanished. All that remained in its former location was a massive crater, shocking observers who quickly spread the news.

Soon, Zhongzhou was in an uproar.

On the desolate plains,

the Holy Son of the Supreme Holy Sect was practicing martial arts when he heard the news of the Ten Directions Holy Sect fleeing en masse. He couldn't help but feel stunned.

"Situ Ding!"

"The first disciple of the Ancient Emperor."

"Fifth peak of the Hundred Tribulations Realm?"

"How tyrannical. He actually forced the Ten Directions Holy Sect, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years, to pack up and leave. It seems the Three Thousand Realms are destined for chaos."

With that, Lin Wei resumed his martial arts training.

…

Tianzhou, Sacred Spirit Sect.

Ye Feng was immersed in the Scripture Pavilion, swimming in the ocean of knowledge, ravenously absorbing the nearly immeasurable content of ancient texts here.

Spells, Divine Skills, Secret Techniques, Formations, cultural heritage, historical records…

The ancient texts were abundant.

"Theories of the Worlds?"

"This ancient text is intriguing."

"It claims that the universe is divided into a light side and a dark side. What we can see and interact with is the light side, while what we cannot sense is the dark side."

"Doesn't this resemble my micro-universe?"

"The observable side of the micro-universe is the light side, while the unseen aspects, such as laws and cosmic energy, belong to the dark side, maintaining the universe's stability."

"However…"

"What does this book imply?"

Ye Feng picked up a yellowed ancient text titled "Twin Universes" and found it riddled with missing sections.

Many parts had vanished.

"It says here that a complete universe should consist of two universe halves. Each half is seemingly complete on its own but is, in fact, just one side."

"Only when both halves combine, with energy flowing freely between them, can a balanced ecosystem emerge as a Great Universe."

Upon reading this, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows.

"If this hypothesis is true."

"Then the universe of the Three Thousand Realms is merely one half, while the Immortal Realm's universe is the other half. Only together do they form a complete Great Universe?"

"Is that it?"

Ye Feng inhaled deeply.

He felt that this theory could very well be accurate.

Otherwise, why would the universe of the Three Thousand Realms be connected to the Immortal Realm's universe?

"What a pity."

"This 'Twin Universes' is incomplete and describes that the two universe halves need a connecting midpoint. But the content about this midpoint has long been lost, making it impossible to deduce or restore."

Ye Feng put down the ancient text with a soft sigh.

"Hmm!"

Suddenly, he thought of a certain place.

The Starry Sky World!

"Could it be?"

"Is the Starry Sky World the midpoint connecting the two universe halves of the Immortal Realm and the Three Thousand Realms universe?"

"But if this hypothesis holds true, then what is the Void Realm, which links the Starry Sky World and the Three Thousand Realms Universe?"

Ye Feng scratched his head.

"No, no!"

"Based on the characteristics of the Power God Ranking, individuals from the same universe can appear on it regardless of whether they are from the Three Thousand Realms or the Starry Sky World."

"So, the other universe half must be the Starry Sky World, not the Immortal Realm."

"The Void Realm must be the midpoint."

"This means that the Starry Sky World, Void Realm, and Three Thousand Realms Universe together form a complete Great Universe, while the Immortal Realm is a separate, independent universe."

Ye Feng continued speculating.

He felt as though he had uncovered a colossal secret.

"Sect Master Ye!"

At this moment, Ning Yu's voice called out nearby.

"What is it?"

Ye Feng quickly returned to his senses and looked at the stunningly beautiful Ning Yu, noticing her lips slightly parted as though she had something to say.

"The Ten Directions Saint Emperor has come looking for you."

Ning Yu's melodious voice rang out.

"The Ten Directions Saint Emperor?" Ye Feng was surprised and asked, "Why has he come? Isn't he supposed to be guarding the Myriad Clans Divine Mountain on Myriad Clans Continent right now?"
