The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal
Chapter 1087 - 1087: Hantian Ancient Saint

"What's going on here?"

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao was puzzled beyond comprehension.

To be frank, the history of Shenzhou Continent isn't extremely ancient, amounting to just about a million years or so.

Within the Starry Sky World, there are places much older than Shenzhou Continent, with the Dark Forbidden Land and the Minor Immortal Realm being among them.

Yet, the scene before me is too bizarre!

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao clearly remembered having been to this place before. At that time, this place was a void. But now, a star system has seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

This was unthinkable.

"Let's find a place to have a look first."

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao landed on a Life Star with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of miles and identified the only Saint Realm in this world.

...

Polar Star.

On the summits of a range of continuous mountains rested an ancient Daoist temple, in front of which stood an old jujube tree bearing fruit. Underneath was an old Daoist with white hair and beard.

"The Celestial Mechanism Barrier has disappeared!"

The old Daoist looked up, observing the starry sky outside, noticing that it had become completely different from before, and couldn't help murmuring.

"Celestial Mechanism Barrier?"

There came a voice filled with surprise beside him, prompting the old Daoist to look in the direction of the sound. A lofty figure with an illusory form appeared—it was the incarnation of Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao.

"This aura... it's Senior Heavenly Dao!"

The old Daoist bowed immediately to the incarnation of Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao. "I'm unaware of which Great World's Heavenly Dao you are, and apologize for not welcoming you from afar. I hope Senior Heavenly Dao will forgive me."

"I am the Heavenly Dao of Shenzhou," the incarnation of Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao abruptly changed the subject. "What do you call yourself?"

Despite his great age, the old Daoist's cultivation level was quite ordinary, only at the mid-stage of Saint Manifestation—nothing strong.

"Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao?! The junior here is the Hantian Ancient Saint, responsible for overseeing this Realm of the Polar Star," the old Daoist's expression changed slightly as he bowed and introduced himself.

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao looked around and said:

"Why has this star system suddenly appeared out of nowhere and even the original self failed to perceive it before—could it be because it is hidden by the Celestial Mechanism Barrier you mentioned?"

"Indeed," nodded Hantian Ancient Saint.

"To be able to deceive even the original self, the person who set up the formation must be at least in the Hundred Tribulations Realm, right?" Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao inquired.

"What is the Hundred Tribulations Realm?" Hantian Ancient Saint was stunned.

"It's the Hidden Realm between the Supreme Saint and the Heavenly Dao Realm, known as Hundred Tribulations Realm. Don't you know that?" Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao explained.

Upon hearing this, Hantian Ancient Saint was taken aback.

"So that's the name of the Hidden Realm! Hundred Tribulations Realm... truly enduring a hundred tribulations, indeed!"

Hantian Ancient Saint, who hailed from the ancient times, was aware of the existence of the Hidden Realm but did not know its name.

Now, after careful consideration, the Hidden Realm required one to withstand a hundred great calamities; hence, calling it "Hundred Tribulations Realm" was very intuitive.

"You have yet to say who set up the Celestial Mechanism Barrier," prodded Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao.

Hantian Ancient Saint promptly bowed and said:

"My apologies!"

"The junior here was surprised just now and thus forgot to explain. The so-called Celestial Mechanism Barrier was orchestrated to obscure the Heavenly Dao and perfectly conceal the North Pole Star System."

"Who set it up, the junior does not know."

"A million years ago, when I had just broken through to Saint Manifestation, a Mysterious Envoy brought me here, appointing me as the guardian of this North Pole Star System, responsible for safeguarding the tens of worlds here."

"That envoy only mentioned that once the Celestial Mechanism Barrier disappeared, someone would naturally come for the handover."

"It seems you are the one for the handover, senior."

Hearing this, Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao was somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that I am indeed the one for the handover? But what was the purpose of this arrangement that spanned a million years?

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao was full of doubts.

"Wait here for a moment!"

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao spoke and then started to mobilize people.

...

Misty Peak.

Ye Feng had just finished his retreat. He threw out the Ma Liang's Brush that he had improved with the purest Power of Reality, allowing it to fall into the hands of Senior Disciple Shi Lei.

Afterward, Ye Feng slowly rose to his feet.

""Hand of Myriad Transformations" is indeed difficult to cultivate. However, with more arduous practice, mastering the latter half to Perfection is just a matter of Time. At that point, my strength will be even stronger."

As he said this, Ye Feng slightly frowned.

Since he started practicing the latter half of "Hand of Myriad Transformations", he realized that he had come to a crossroads.

"One path is to be methodical, pursuing a dual cultivation of magic and body."

"Another path is to merge all methods, fully embarking on the cultivation journey of the inner world. This path requires first mastering the lower volume of "Hand of Myriad Transformations" to Perfection."

"Both paths are strong."

"But if I take the path of merging all methods, my techniques would become more mysterious, yet filled with uncertainties."

"If I proceed step by step methodically, there wouldn't be much change."

"However, I always feel like something is missing this way."

"So, how should I choose?"

Ye Feng found himself in a dilemma.

"Never mind!"

"I'll decide after I've cultivated the lower volume of "Hand of Myriad Transformations" to the level of Perfection!"

Saying this, Ye Feng walked out of the central courtyard.

Seeing a nearby flower about to wilt, he flicked his hand casually. The power of reality infused into it, revitalizing it and making it voraciously devour nature's spiritual energy to transform.

Moments later.

This Spirit Grass grew to be thousands of years old, and for those in the Divine Origin Realm, it was still considered Divine Medicine.

"Indeed, the power of reality."

Ye Feng exclaimed.

At this moment, an illusory figure appeared.

"Fellow Ye Feng, I've found an interesting place, are you interested in having a look with me?" Shenzhou Heavenly Dao found Ye Feng and got straight to the point.

"An interesting place?" Ye Feng's gaze twinkled slightly.

Could it be that Shenzhou Heavenly Dao has discovered the Heavenly Venerable's Hall beneath the Ocean Star?

"What do you think this is?"

Shenzhou Heavenly Dao then stretched out his hand, simulating a three-dimensional hologram of the North Pole Star System, and the Hantian Ancient Saint standing in front of an ancient Daoist Temple at the Polar Star.

"Eh!" Ye Feng was taken aback.

"In the entire Starry Sky World, aside from the Shenzhou Continent and the Minor Immortal Realm, there shouldn't be any existence of the Saint Realm, but now, with the suddenly appeared North Pole Star System, there's a Saint Manifestation."

Shenzhou Heavenly Dao slowly spoke, "This is very interesting, isn't Fellow Ye Feng interested in taking a look?"

"We can also invite Senior Ancient Holy God Overlord Emperor along." Ye Feng looked towards the Hardwood Plains not far away.

"That's exactly my intention!" Shenzhou Heavenly Dao nodded.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Polar Star, in front of the ancient Daoist Temple.

Two figures appeared out of thin air, one tall and straight, the other over two meters tall, his body consisted only of golden skeletons burning with blazing flames. They were Ye Feng and the Ancient Holy God Overlord Emperor.

"You've arrived."

Shenzhou Heavenly Dao smiled faintly.

He was the Heavenly Dao of the Great Thousand World, capable of manifesting in many forms, and this particular incarnation had always been at the Polar Star. The one that went to notify Ye Feng was another incarnation.

"Junior Hantian Ancient Saint, pays respect to the two seniors."

The old Daoist immediately clasped his hands in a salute.

He could not see through Ye Feng, nor could he peer into the depths of the Ancient Holy God Overlord Emperor, so he prudently addressed them as seniors.

"This place is very ancient."

Upon arriving at the North Pole Star System, the Ancient Holy God immediately released his Divine Sense to survey the entire star system, discovering several Life Stars. Each star was a world, and their grades were not low.

Some worlds even had Saint Realms seated in them.

Including Hantian Ancient Saint, there were four Saint Realms in the entire North Pole Star System, which was quite a formidable line-up.

Ye Feng did not speak, but used his Eye of Insight.

[Title: Hantian Ancient Saint]

[Grade: Saint Manifestation]

[Notes: An ancient Saint ordered to guard the North Pole Star System, the only Saint Manifestation in this place]

The information retrieved was sparse.

Ye Feng was helpless, so he could only walk around, sensing a hint of an aura exclusive to those of the Heavenly Dao Realm, and his expression turned solemn.

"The Celestial Mechanism Barrier was left by the Heavenly Venerable!"

After a moment, Ye Feng declared so.

"Is that true?" Both Ancient Holy God and Shenzhou Heavenly Dao's expressions turned grave.

"It's true!"

Ye Feng nodded, "I practice the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability, and I'm very sensitive to the aura of the Heavenly Venerable."
