The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

"Your perceptiveness is truly extraordinary."

The Ancient Holy God had to admit, in terms of perceptiveness alone, Ye Feng had already stood ahead of countless others.

"Perhaps, only the Spirit Venerable, renowned as the foremost in perceptiveness across the Three Thousand Realms, could surpass this lad, Ye Feng!"

The Ancient Holy God thought to himself.

The perceptiveness of the Spirit Venerable was famously strong.

If not for this, he wouldn't have been able to create the powerful Divine Skill "Heavenly Honor," which enhanced his combat power fivefold.

On the ground.

Ye Feng was still studying the Power Divine Rune, and whenever he found something amiss, he immediately made corrections.

Possessing three-fifths of the Heart of Wisdom, his perceptiveness indeed ranked among the top tier.

"I wonder to what extent my perceptiveness will reach once I possess the entire Heart of Wisdom? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Ye Feng thought to himself.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Even with Ye Feng's perceptiveness, it still took him this much time to record and refine all the Divine Runes.

During this process, he resolved dozens of minor flaws, enabling the new version of the Divine Rune to increase the total strength by ten percent based on the original.

Don't underestimate this ten percent!

The further one progresses, the more critical every little improvement becomes, especially since he had the fivefold increase from the Divine Skill "Heavenly Honor" to help close the gap with the top powerhouses.

"Ah!"

When Ye Feng imprinted the new Power Divine Rune onto his bones, intense pain wracked his entire body, nearly causing him to collapse.

"What astounding endurance."

The Ancient Holy God was very aware of the pain involved when imprinting the Power Divine Rune. Ye Feng enduring it indicated that his willpower was incredibly strong.

The imprinting process wasn't fast.

For three whole days, Ye Feng imprinted the Power Divine Rune from his skull down to the tips of his toes, significantly increasing his strength and achieving a leap in his power.

"I feel I could kill a Heavenly Saint with one punch!"

Ye Feng murmured.

This was a psychological swelling effect brought on by the rapid surge in strength.

In reality, without relying on enhancements from the Thunder Saint Hall and the remnants of Heavenly Dao, as well as the amplification from the Divine Skill "Heavenly Honor," Ye Feng wasn't sure whether he could defeat a Heavenly Saint.

After all, Heavenly Saints were incredibly powerful.

They had complete control over Heaven and Earth Phenomena; with a mere thought, they could suppress Saint Manifestation.

Relying purely on his strength, Ye Feng dared not guarantee he could handle a Heavenly Saint now.

"Many thanks for the guidance, Tyrant Emperor."

Having adapted to his strength, Ye Feng bowed towards the Tyrant Emperor.

"This is a fortune you deserved."

The Ancient Holy God waved his hand, "Now, I basically have nothing left to teach you, go back!"

"Alright." Ye Feng nodded and tore through the sky to leave.

...

Misty Sect.

Sect Leader's Great Hall.

Ye Feng opened a brand-new panel for the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

The previous nine features had all been upgraded, and his attention quickly shifted to the final new feature.

[Spirit Beast Pavilion: Tier Ten]

[Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast: 597/5000]

[Spirit Beast Pavilion Promotion Explanation: Prestige Points exceeding one trillion, unlocking the eleventh tier of the Spirit Beast Pavilion]

[Feature One: Strength Accumulation]

...

[Feature Nine: Spirit Beast Battlefield]

[Feature Ten: Battle Hall (Deployed)]

After promoting the Spirit Beast Pavilion to Tier Ten, the tenth functional entity "Battle Hall" was unlocked, and Ye Feng did not understand what that was, nor had he anticipated that it had already been deployed.

"It seems I need to visit the Spirit Beast Battlefield."

Ye Feng arrived at Spirit Beast Peak, passed through the spatial gate, and entered the Spirit Beast Battlefield, akin to the Twilight Battlefield.

"Roar!"

Upon arriving, Ye Feng encountered Brother Flathead.

It had transformed into its Godzilla Form, battling amidst an army of ancient beasts. With a sweep of its tail, it could kill a large group of ancient beasts, and the destructive beams it spat could sweep across a wide area.

In the blink of an eye.

Tens of thousands of ancient beasts were killed.

Standing atop a pile of their bones, Brother Flathead faced away from Ye Feng, gazing towards the distance at the beautiful sunset.

As Ye Feng watched Brother Flathead's impressive figure disappear into the distance, a unique feeling gripped his heart.

"This guy is actually enjoying the sunset after the battle."

Ye Feng murmured.

He lifted his head, a sensation stirring in him, and flew towards the distant sky, arriving before a floating great hall.

This place was the Battle Hall.

On either side of the hall stood a bronze pillar.

Each pillar, one zhang in diameter and about fifteen zhangs high, was carved with vivid images of myriad beasts.

Above the main door hung a plaque.

"Battle Hall!"

Fox Da Hong, munching on a duck leg, read aloud the text on the plaque.

"Sect Leader, what is this Battle Hall?"

Fox Da Hong asked.

Meanwhile, Dog Er Ha, Pig San Pang, Little White Fox, Toad Si Chu, Pumpkin Wu Gua, and other Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts all stood behind Ye Feng.

Even Brother Flathead had come close.

"Go inside, and you will see."

Ye Feng took the lead and entered the Battle Hall, where he found an immense starry sky, a winding ancient path in its midst with countless floating platforms.

Each platform housed an ancient beast statue.

Ye Feng counted them.

There were a total of 100 similar platforms, each separated by tens of thousands of miles, surrounded by a dazzling starry sky, tremendously beautiful.

"So that's how it is!"

Ye Feng received information from the Battle Hall and learned the name of this starry path.

"This is called the Path of Battle."

"Each platform is a mini-goal. By slaughtering enough wild beasts on the Spirit Beast Battlefield, you can earn points."

"Using a certain amount of points, you can enter a new platform and battle with the ancient beast statues on it."

"Upon winning, the rewards are plentiful."

"They could directly enhance your cultivation level, purify and refine your bloodline, provide you with new secret techniques of spiritual beasts, or even award extra lifespan."

"In short, all rewards are possible."

Ye Feng explained to the large group of Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts around him.

Misty Sect had already recruited hundreds of Guardian Spirit Beasts, the weakest of which were Demon Kings of the Spirit Sea Realm.

The slightly more powerful ones were Demon Emperors of the Divine Origin Realm.

Old-timers like Brother Flathead, Mountain Divine Monkey, and Thousand-Year Ancient Pine had already stepped into the Void Break Realm and become Demon Emperors.

Just counting the Spirit Beast Army of Misty Sect was enough to overpower many strong Four Star forces.

And this was just a part of Misty Sect's strength.

After hearing Ye Feng's introduction, Fox Da Hong and the other spiritual beasts showed expressions of surprise.

"So that's the purpose of the Battle Hall."

"To step onto the first platform, it just takes one hundred points, equivalent to slaying a hundred Demon Kings on the Spirit Beast Battlefield."

"I have five thousand points. I'll give it a try first."

Fox Da Hong took the lead.

She had already transformed into a human form, dressed in a long red dress, standing elegantly—a genuine beauty of the Fox Clan.

Step!

Fox Da Hong landed on the first platform, and instantly, 100 points were deducted from her.

The next moment,

the wolf-shaped statue in the center of the platform suddenly burst into a brilliant light, forming a hundred-zhang-tall Golden Giant Wolf in the starry sky, its cultivation aura completely matching Fox Da Hong's.

"An equal-level fight! Interesting."

Mountain Divine Monkey stood in the starry sky with the Black Sky Cudgel, watching the battle between Fox Da Hong and the golden wolf.

"Wow-ha!"

Brother Flathead, impatient, soared up and flew over the platforms ahead, aiming to land at the endpoint.

"This guy is asking for trouble!" Ye Feng laughed, secretly thinking that Brother Flathead was always impulsive.

Just then,

a semi-transparent screen appeared and actively collided with Brother Flathead, blasting him back toward the entrance of the Battle Hall and crashing him somewhere in the Spirit Beast Battlefield.

"I forgot to explain."

It was only then that Ye Feng's voice sounded, "Not following the sequence to ascend the platforms results in the same ending as what befell Brother Flathead."

With that said, he turned and left, letting the spirit beasts continue on their own.

…

At the summit of Misty Peak.

Ye Feng stretched out his hand, and three Lucky Bags appeared above his palm.
