The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

"We must confirm this with the Heavenly Dao."

Ye Feng closed his eyes, ready to enter the Chaos Consciousness Space to seek out the Heavenly Dao of Shenzhou.

"There's no need to go!"

A grand and resounding voice came, filled with Daoist charm, as if from beyond the heavens, ancient and profound, boundless, causing the grass and trees on the mountain peak to grow wildly.

This scene was quite magical.

Ye Feng looked toward the source of the voice.

He saw a hazy figure enveloped in rainbow light, floating in the air, the incarnation of Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao.

"Suspended Mountain has been refined by the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable."

The incarnation of Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao continued, "Moreover, the progress of the refinement is much faster than estimated. In half a month's time, it will be completely finished, and from then on, it will completely detach from Shenzhou."

Hearing this, Ye Feng was shocked, "What will happen if Suspended Mountain completely detaches from Shenzhou?"

"It won't make much of a difference." The incarnation of Heavenly Dao shook his head, "After all, a long time ago, when Suspended Mountain was first seized by the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable, I was already gravely injured."

At these words, Ye Feng's eyes widened.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a figure rushed over, trying to land in the embrace of the Heavenly Dao's Incarnation, but it was like hitting air, passing straight through.

The newcomer was none other than the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey.

"Master!"

With tearful eyes, the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey looked at the incarnation of Heavenly Dao.

Even after dying and being reborn as the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey, he retained his memories and knew that the other was his former master and the Lord of the Heavenly Court who controlled Suspended Mountain.

"Little Monkey!"

The incarnation of Heavenly Dao sighed, "I am no longer the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and our master-servant fate has ended. From now on, follow Ye Feng well and acknowledge him as your elder brother."

To this request, the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey's body shuddered.

But he did not argue, and instead asked, "Master, where have you been all these years?"

Ye Feng stood aside, silent.

He really wanted the Heavenly Dao's Incarnation to talk about the past of Suspended Mountain, especially details about the Heavenly Court and the great battle over Suspended Mountain.

The Heavenly Dao's Incarnation knew what Ye Feng wanted to hear, and said,

"It's a long story."

"Ever since Shenzhou was born and had me as its Heavenly Dao, it developed peacefully for countless years."

"As time passed, I gained spiritual awareness."

"Later, I used the power of the Supreme Saint Realm, raising one of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges, Suspended Mountain, and refining it into a small world that stood suspended in the air."

"Inside Suspended Mountain, I created the Thunder Pool Grand Hall, Main Hall, Lotus Pond, Holy Temple, and other main buildings."

"As for me, I became the Lord of the Heavenly Court."

"Back then, for the entirety of Shenzhou, Suspended Mountain was the future 'Heavenly Realm', where cultivators who reached a certain level could ascend to."

"But in order to meet the criteria for the Heavenly Realm, I used most of my strength in the construction of Suspended Mountain."

"However, the good times did not last long."

"Before I could establish the Ascension Passage, the Celestial Clan attacked and forcibly occupied Suspended Mountain."

"Even I was blown apart by the Saintly Venerable."

"The great loss of Shenzhou had already happened then and was irretrievable."

The incarnation of Heavenly Dao sighed deeply.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng understood the true origin of Suspended Mountain.

So the Heavenly Dao intended to make it Shenzhou's Heavenly Realm!

Alas, the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable usurped and occupied the entire Suspended Mountain, starting a refinement process lasting ten thousand years, which was now about to completely sever ties with the Shenzhou Continent.

But because Suspended Mountain had been occupied for ten thousand years already, even if it were to separate now, Shenzhou would not suffer a second injury.

"Luckily, I took the Thunder Pool Grand Hall, otherwise, the cultivators of the Shenzhou Continent wouldn't even be able to undergo tribulation," Ye Feng said in a grave tone.

"Indeed, you've done well," the Heavenly Dao's Incarnation nodded.

"Then why didn't Senior Heavenly Dao let me attack Suspended Mountain immediately?" Ye Feng clenched his fists, eager to ascend the mountain and slay the Destiny Empress and Rushu Tiansheng, among others.

"Weren't you just repelled?" Heavenly Dao's Incarnation retorted.

Ye Feng was taken aback.

Heavenly Dao's Incarnation spoke again,

"Now is the critical moment for the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable to refine the Suspended Mountain; the entire mountain has been infused with the remaining Power of the World from the Great World of the Celestial Clan, not even I can enter."

"Even if you did get in, you'd be expelled."

"In half a month, the refinement will end."

"At that time, the protective shield will disappear, and we'll be able to enter briefly for half an hour—the most appropriate moment for retaliation."

"Yet, it will be of no avail."

"Although the Tyrant Emperor has revived with the strength of levels three to five within the Hundred Tribulations Realm, once the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable has refined the Suspended Mountain, his power will surely increase greatly, making it difficult for us to kill him."

Hearing this, Ye Feng's expression changed.

"No need to be surprised!" added Heavenly Dao's Incarnation. "As Heavenly Dao, naturally, I could hear your conversation with the Tyrant Emperor."

"Yes, he heard everything loud and clear." A deep voice emerged beside them.

They looked towards the source of the voice.

A three-meter-tall golden skeleton stepped forward through the void, flames dancing in its eyes, exuding majesty.

It was the Ancient Holy God, the Tyrant Emperor!

"Divine Spirit" is a term of respect for deities.

Ye Feng usually preferred to address Heavenly Dao as "Divine Spirit."

However, the Ancient Holy God felt differently; in his eyes, Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao did not merit the term "Divine Spirit" and instead directly referred to Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao as "he."

"Little Dao pays respects to the Tyrant Emperor!"

Seeing the Ancient Holy God, Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao bowed his hands in greeting.

He was the Heavenly Dao, supreme above all.

Yet, facing the stronger Tyrant Emperor, he still maintained ample respect, just as Greedy Wolf Continent's Heavenly Dao did when facing Ye Feng.

The Ancient Holy God didn't waste words, and went straight to the point:

"The current Suspended Mountain is saturated with the Saintly Venerable's power and the Power of the World of the Celestial Clan. It's impenetrable and we can only wait for half a month."

"And what Shenzhou Heavenly Dao said is correct."

"The current Saintly Venerable appears to have truly broken through."

"This fellow cultivates the World Fusion Law and when faced with severe injuries, hasn't stopped his cultivation for a moment."

"Now, he is on the verge of completely merging with the Suspended Mountain."

"After successfully emerging, this man's World Fusion Law will surely climb several levels."

"Although he is still no match for me, killing him would be incredibly difficult unless I can return to my peak state, but that is nearly impossible."

The more Ye Feng heard, the more alarmed he became.

World Fusion Law?

No wonder the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable was monopolizing the Suspended Mountain, it wasn't just to create a habitat for the Celestial Clan, but also for cultivation to enhance his personal strength.

"So, we can only wait?" Ye Feng felt helpless.

"Yes, we can only wait," the Ancient Holy God nodded in agreement.

"Ye Feng, in about half a month, the timing will be fully ripe. Then, we'll strike at Suspended Mountain," Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao suggested.

"Alright," Ye Feng nodded.

"Hm," Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao nodded towards Ye Feng and the Ancient Holy God, his figure gradually disappearing.

"Master!" The Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey looked at the spot where Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao vanished, appearing somewhat lost.

"He's come back to life, you should be happy." Ye Feng patted the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey's head and looked at the Ancient Holy God, "Senior, it seems with our strength, killing the Saintly Venerable is out of our reach. The counterattack after half a month may be futile."

"Not entirely futile, at least, we can give the Saintly Venerable a harsh lesson," the Ancient Holy God murmured.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng revealed an enlightened look, his pupils brimming with a chilly murderous intent as he nodded,

"That's right, if we can't kill the Saintly Venerable, then we will obliterate the Destiny Empress and all her people to avenge the dead of Shenzhou!"

The Ancient Holy God did not reply.

He looked out to the Divine Strength Kingdom thousands of miles away, feeling heartened by the Power Clan that was gradually getting back on track.

"From today onwards, Shenzhou shall stand with me!" the Ancient Holy God vowed silently.
