The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

"Hmm, I've returned, and I've brought a gift for Senior Heavenly Dao," Ye Feng nodded.

The next moment, he swept his sleeve grandly.

Ten Heavenly Saint Level Hearts of the World appeared out of the void nearby, the very ones he had "taken" from the Heavenly Dao of the Greedy Wolf Continent.

Afterward, Ye Feng also took out various grades of Hearts of the World he had obtained from the treasure vault of the Starry Sky Thieves Alliance. Together, they were nearly equivalent to several Heavenly Saint Level Hearts of the World.

Seeing these treasures, the Heavenly Dao Remnants remained expressionless.

It seemed indifferent to sorrow or joy, but Ye Feng always felt that this guy must be almost bursting with laughter inside.

"You have my gratitude!"

After a long while, the Heavenly Dao Remnants finally transmitted a sound, void of any emotion, always so aloof.

"Senior Heavenly Dao, please absorb the Hearts of the World first!"

Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back, and did not leave.

The Heavenly Dao Remnants nodded.

Crack!

All the Hearts of the World present crumbled, transforming into a torrent of energy that dispersed into the vast Chaos Consciousness Space, continuously strengthening the Heavenly Dao Remnants.

Its form gradually solidified.

Its aura became more and more powerful.

Ye Feng felt a kind of transformation.

Previously, the Heavenly Dao Remnants was only at the Heavenly Saint Level, but at this moment, it had already broken through to Peak Heavenly Saint, and the aura was still growing stronger.

It seemed as if it was about to break through to Supreme Saint!

However, as the World Origin of all the Hearts of the World was exhausted, the Heavenly Dao Remnants still could not take that final step.

"What a pity!"

The Heavenly Dao Remnants let out a sigh, "As of now, I've only recovered to half of my peak form, still far from the Supreme Saint Level."

"Only half?" A twitch formed at the corner of Ye Feng's mouth.

"Yes," the Heavenly Dao Remnants nodded, "As the Heavenly Dao of Shenzhou, at my peak I was comparable to a Peak Supreme Saint. Recovering to full strength would allow me to enter the early stage of a Supreme Saint. Currently, I've only recovered half."

"So, it seems I need to provide more Hearts of the World for Senior Heavenly Dao to return to peak condition," Ye Feng muttered.

The Heavenly Dao Remnants nodded and said, "Indeed, the Heart of the World is a quick method of recovery, but I do not wish for you to get lost in the dark fog of destroying worlds to enhance strength."

Ye Feng was startled.

He felt that the Heavenly Dao of Shenzhou might have misunderstood him.

The other might have mistaken him for initiating a world-destroying war in order to obtain the Hearts of the World.

But in reality, that was not the case.

Thus, Ye Feng explained, "Senior Heavenly Dao is overthinking it. These Hearts of the World I got from the Starry Sky Thieves Alliance of the Three Thousand Realms, and they were part of their inventory."

"Oh?" The Heavenly Dao Remnants nodded, "That's a relief, I thought you had started a world-destroying war."

"How could I do such a thing?" Ye Feng said with his hands spread open, "By the way, Senior, aside from the Hearts of the World and constructing a lower realm, is there any other method that could accelerate your recovery?"

"Hmm… Yes!" The Heavenly Dao Remnants nodded.

"What method?" Ye Feng was very curious.

"To connect the energetic nexus between the universe and the world," the Heavenly Dao Remnants said in a low voice.

Ye Feng didn't say anything, just widened his eyes and listened attentively.

The Heavenly Dao Remnants continued to explain:

"Above the continent are innumerable worlds, and these worlds are all encompassed within the vast and boundless universe."

"The energy of the entire universe is nearly limitless."

"All the myriad realms wishing to grow stronger must draw energy from the universe, but there's a precondition."

"And that is to open the energetic nexus!"

"However, the difficulty of this task is enormous."

"Under normal circumstances, only Heavenly Dao at the Heavenly Dao Realm Level can connect the energetic nexus between the world and the universe, drawing continuously from the Universe Origin."

"In this manner, such a world will only become stronger and stronger."

"But even at my peak, I was only at the Peak Supreme Saint Level and simply incapable of opening the energetic nexus."

Hearing this, Ye Feng realized the difficulty of this method was extremely great, and for the time being, it was nearly impossible.

"But," Ye Feng felt a tinge of dissatisfaction and asked, "Isn't there a shortcut?"

Heavenly Dao remained silent for a moment before shaking its head.

"Alright!" Ye Feng realized that it was nearly impossible to forge the energy bonds ahead of time and changed his request, "Senior, in that case, I will try my best to help you create more lower worlds or acquire more World Hearts."

"I can now create lower worlds myself," whispered the Heavenly Dao Remnants, surprising Ye Feng.

Before Ye Feng could ask, Heavenly Dao Remnants had already begun to explain proactively:

"By absorbing these World Hearts, my strength has greatly increased, positioned between the Supreme Saint and Heavenly Saint levels. I am able to manifest splits of the Heavenly Dao to go out and actively create lower worlds."

On hearing this, Ye Feng came to a realisation.

This meant that the Shenzhou Heavenly Dao could move within the Starry Sky World and actively integrate countless minor worlds into its lower realms.

In not too long, Shenzhou could restore its power to the Saintly Venerable level.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now."

Ye Feng had only intended to meet with the Shenzhou Heavenly Dao. Now that his task was satisfactorily complete, it was time for him to depart.

"Wait!"

Heavenly Dao Remnants called out to Ye Feng. As Ye Feng turned back, he witnessed ten treasure boxes appearing in the void.

The Shenzhou Heavenly Dao continued, "You have been a help, and I cannot let that go without a reward. These are ten treasure boxes; each contains a special Physique Origin, which I hope will be useful to your Misty Sect's disciples."

"There is one more thing!"

"I can feel the connection between Suspended Mountain and Shenzhou weakening, and soon it will be completely severed."

"I speculate that Suspended Mountain has been refined by the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable and transformed into a completely independent world."

At these words, Ye Feng's expression changed.

It seemed highly likely that the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable was about to awaken.

This meant that the day of the counterattack on Suspended Mountain was drawing near!

In the past, Ye Feng would not have dared to do so.

Although he was immortal, his disciples and the countless beings of the Shenzhou Continent would fall.

If the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable went berserk, it could destroy Shenzhou.

But now, it was different.

The bones of the Ancient Holy God had reassembled, and new versions of the Power Divine Rune had been imprinted, restoring strength between the third and fifth levels of the Hundred Tribulations Realm—there was no need to fear the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable.

"Thank you for the warning, Senior Heavenly Dao. In a short time, I will counterattack Suspended Mountain."

Ye Feng promised earnestly.

"Too bad, it's already too late." Heavenly Dao Remnants shook its head, displaying a look of helplessness for the first time, "The Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable has occupied Suspended Mountain for tens of thousands of years. The refinement process is nearing its end, and it's simply unstoppable."

"Really?" Ye Feng's expression changed again.

He felt he needed to go to Suspended Mountain immediately.

"Senior, I bid you farewell!"

The next moment, Ye Feng returned to reality, standing atop Misty Peak, glancing at the Refining Furnace that was fervently forging. He activated the Great World Heart within himself and employed World-Breaking Power.

With a "pop," Ye Feng slipped into the watery folds of the void, arriving at Suspended Mountain and immediately scanning his surroundings with caution.

"It's you!"

Right upon reaching Suspended Mountain, Ye Feng drew the attention of two others. A man and a woman were standing to his left and right—none other than Destiny Empress and Rushu Tiansheng.

"Get out!"

The Destiny Empress brought her hands together, unleashing a wave of pale golden ripples that rapidly struck Ye Feng.

In the next instant.

Ye Feng felt enveloped by some repelling force and took more than a dozen steps backward, swallowed by the folds of the void.

When he came to his senses, he found himself no longer on Suspended Mountain, but back on Misty Peak.

"I was actually repelled?"

Ye Feng frowned, trying to lock onto the coordinates of Suspended Mountain, only to find that its location kept shifting, making it impossible to pinpoint the exact coordinates and making interdimensional travel difficult.

"Suspended Mountain has indeed changed!"

Ye Feng's face turned increasingly grim.
