The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

On the seats.

Ye Feng looked at the dozens of talents before him and noticed their comprehension ability was outstanding. Many questions were resolved with just a hint.

Not long after.

These disciples all received Ye Feng's guidance, gaining substantial benefits. After thanking him, they gradually left one by one.

"The qualification progress bar is now at 10%."

Ye Feng muttered under his breath.

After helping these disciples from the Li Clan solve their cultivation issues, he found that the progress bar increased by 5%, comparable to the progress when assisting Li Chijiao. This indeed surprised Ye Feng.

"Bring more disciples to me. I feel full of energy and can continue to answer their queries."

Ye Feng turned to Li Ranmo beside him.

"Ah, alright!"

Li Ranmo, slightly stunned, still proceeded to call in more young disciples of the Li Clan to seek Ye Feng's guidance.

...

In Sky Piercing City.

A group returned from the Ancient Immortal Domain.

Leading them were five immortals—one Earth Immortal and four Human Immortals—the very same group who previously went to Jiang Ancient City to recruit external prodigies.

Behind them stood three hundred individuals.

Every single one of them was at least in the Spirit Sea Realm.

The strongest among them, ten in total, had reached the Divine Origin Realm.

"So you've finally returned from the Ancient Immortal Domain. How was it? Did you recruit enough disciples?"

A hearty voice rang out.

The gathered crowd turned toward the source of the voice.

They saw several Earth Immortals flying over and landing before the hundreds of cultivators, smiling as they asked their question.

"It went well; we've completed the recruitment."

The Earth Immortal responsible for recruitment stepped forward, cupping his fist toward the other Earth Immortals. "Altogether, three hundred disciples—all promising talents. Among them, ten have reached the Divine Origin Realm, possessing not only high cultivation but also commendable talent."

"That does sound promising."

One Earth Immortal nodded in satisfaction.

The other Earth Immortals also expressed their approval.

"Gentlemen, I must arrange the accommodations for these talents. Farewell for now!"

With a broad smile, the Earth Immortal responsible for recruiting the disciples led the group away.

In front of a grand hall.

Ye Feng sensed something as he stared into the distance, noticing the group of foreign talents who had just arrived at Sky Piercing City from the Ancient Immortal Domain.

"Strange! Why do I feel an unusual aura from these people? It gives me a sense of discomfort."

Ye Feng murmured to himself.

He wanted to activate the Eye of Insight, but the group had already entered an ancient, enormous mansion and disappeared from view for the moment, leaving him with no choice but to let it go.

On the seats.

Li Ranmo glanced toward the distant mansion.

As a Sixth-Tier Immortal Emperor, his perception was extremely sharp. He, too, could detect faint anomalies emanating from those individuals, his gaze flickering with brilliance.

"They're finally here, huh?"

"Hehe!"

"But you all probably don't realize that I've already broken through, and my strength far surpasses what it was back then."

"Evil King!"

"Do you truly believe your game plan is flawless? Little do you know, I've seen through everything long ago!"

Li Ranmo closed his eyes.

Seated motionlessly like a mountain, he quietly focused his strength. Even Ye Feng hadn't noticed that Li Ranmo was secretly building up power.

...

Inside an imposing mansion.

Three hundred talents from the Ancient Immortal Domain gathered together, their faces brimming with excitement.

To them, even becoming a registered disciple of Sky Piercing City was an honor worthy of bringing prestige to their lineage and earning a spot in their family records.

"Ahem!"

The Earth Immortal responsible for recruitment stepped forward, cleared his throat, and spoke:

"This is the Mansion of Talents in Sky Piercing City. Anyone recruited from the Ancient Immortal Domain will temporarily reside here."

"Cultivate well."

"Remember one thing."

"Your sole task now is cultivating. The more your cultivation level advances within three months, the greater your potential will be revealed."

"And potential determines your future."

"So, focus on your cultivation!"

With that, the Earth Immortal turned and left.

Inside the mansion.

The three hundred talents dispersed immediately. Each was assigned a Qi Refining Realm maid who guided them to their accommodations and took care of their daily needs.

Not long after.

All three hundred talents were properly settled.

They cultivated in an orderly fashion without interfering with one another, creating an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility.

...

In Misty Sect.

Inside a secret chamber.

Zhang Tianyuan consumed the Nine-Turn Void-Breaking Golden Core awarded to him by Li Ranmo, finally breaking through his bottleneck and condensing an imposing Dharma Aspect behind him.

His cultivation level officially stepped into the Void Break Realm.

"I've finally made it!"

Zhang Tianyuan was ecstatic.

He leaped into the air, releasing his powerful aura freely. Behind him appeared a massive humanoid Dharma Aspect, gripping a golden curved bow in one hand and a golden arrow in the other.

Rumble!

Thunder roared, rapidly gathering.

"It's Zhang Tianyuan!"

"He's undergoing tribulation."

"To reach the Void Break Realm so quickly—impressive!"

The disciples of Misty Sect were alarmed, emerging from their cultivation chambers to gaze at the sky.

Though Zhang Tianyuan was only a Fourth Generation Disciple, his fame as the bearer of the Heavenly Bow Holy Body had always been high. Breaking through his realm now naturally drew significant attention.

The commotion didn't just stir Misty Sect disciples.

Even cultivators in nearby Whitefloat City stepped out of their dwellings to look skyward.

"The Heavenly Bow Holy Body's Dharma Aspect!"

"After this breakthrough, there'll surely be a monumental leap in Zhang Tianyuan's strength. A boundless future lies ahead."

"Zhang Tianyuan hails from the Zhang Family. With his ascendancy into the Void Break Realm, he'll undoubtedly lead our family to new pinnacles of glory!"

The cultivators of Whitefloat City were jubilant.

Especially members of the Zhang Family, who were celebrating boisterously and rejoicing over Zhang Tianyuan's triumph.

In Misty Sect.

Inside another secret chamber.

Wang Ping'an meditated on the ground, with an empty bottle resting beside him. Three-colored flames coiled around his body, permeating his frame and enhancing his Fire Spirit Saint Body.

In a different secret chamber.

Shi Lei was refining the Heart of the World, transforming it into strands of World Origin that were infused into Ma Liang's Brush, significantly elevating its grade.

"The Heart of the World truly lives up to its reputation! Soon, my Ma Liang's Brush will complete its upgrade."

Shi Lei remarked with anticipation.

...

In Sky Piercing City.

Ye Feng continued lecturing the disciples of the Li Clan, drinking plenty of Spiritual Tea to quench his parched throat.

The results were fruitful!

Over three days, by providing guidance to thousands of family disciples, Ye Feng increased the qualification progress bar for "Insightful Eye" to 35%.

"I'm pretty worn out!"

Ye Feng downed a cup of tea.

Gazing at the batch of Li Clan disciples who had just left after completing their consultations, his face was lit with joy.

"Sect Master Ye, many thanks!"

Li Ranmo smiled warmly.

He admired Ye Feng's patience.

If it were him, he would never have the endurance to answer the family disciples' questions. With that time, he'd rather meditate or explore scenic landscapes.

"No need to be so polite."

Ye Feng waved his hand.

Seeing the qualification progress bar at 35%, his heart swelled with satisfaction.

Though the growth wasn't rapid, as long as there was progress, it meant he was moving closer and closer to fully grasping "Insightful Eye".

If he kept at it, success was inevitable.

"Sect Master Ye, what are your next plans?" Li Ranmo asked.

"I plan to wander around for a bit."

Ye Feng replied.

He wished to explore and see if there were any opportunities to gain further benefits. If such chances arose, he'd seize them and strive to bring the qualification progress bar to 100% as soon as possible.

"I need to cultivate, so I won't accompany you."

"No problem, I can manage on my own."

Ye Feng and Li Ranmo exchanged respectful gestures and parted ways.

Ye Feng left the Li Clan and strolled through Sky Piercing City, while Li Ranmo returned to a hidden chamber to covertly observe the broader happenings in the city.

Meanwhile.

In Sky Piercing City.

Inside an ancient mansion.

The group of foreign talents hailing from the Ancient Immortal Domain was dedicating themselves to intense cultivation.

In one particular room.

A youth clad in luxurious robes opened his eyes. In the depths of his pupils, a sinister light flashed fleetingly.

"Heh heh heh!"

"I've finally succeeded in completely mastering this body."

"The Evil King's scheme truly leaves no room for failure."

"With our possession of talents from the Ancient Immortal Domain, we can infiltrate Sky Piercing City without resistance. Today, with internal and external cooperation, we shall dismantle the ancient Li Clan."

The youth let out a malevolent laugh as he rose slowly.

A brush appeared in his hand, its tip radiating crimson spatial energy as he began sketching on the ground, forming a pattern that gradually took shape as a formation.

If Ye Feng were here, he would surely recognize this formation.

It was none other than the Cross-Dimensional Transmission Array!
