The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal
Chapter 1088 - 1088: The Ancients of Shenzhou

"Do you know whose magnificent work this is left by a Heavenly Venerable?" Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao couldn't help but ask.

The Ancient Holy God was full of curiosity.

However, Hantian Ancient Saint appeared to be at a loss.

"How would I know?" Ye Feng spread his hands, "To this day, I don't even know who the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables are individually, I can only be certain that the Celestial Mechanism Barrier was left behind by a Heavenly Venerable."

"Alright then!"

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao and the Ancient Holy God felt slightly disappointed.

The always silent Hantian Ancient Saint, full of doubt, hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Senior fellows, are you all from the Shenzhou Continent?"

"Of course!" The three nodded.

Hantian Ancient Saint, still full of suspicion, looked towards Ye Feng and the Ancient Holy God, "If the two seniors don't know, that's fine, but why doesn't this Senior Heavenly Dao understand?"

Saying this, he turned to look at Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao.

"What do you mean by that?" Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao looked up and down at Hantian Ancient Saint, a face full of doubt.

"A million years ago, I was a cultivator from Shenzhou, by rights, Senior Heavenly Dao should recognize me," Hantian Ancient Saint revealed information that startled everyone.

"Impossible!"

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao shook his head repeatedly, "If you are from Shenzhou, as Heavenly Dao, how could I not recognize you?"

"But in fact, I indeed come from Shenzhou, unless, there is a second Shenzhou within the Starry Sky World," Hantian Ancient Saint said earnestly.

"We might as well go back to Shenzhou to take a look," Ye Feng suggested.

"Alright." Everyone nodded.

The next moment, Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao personally opened up a space channel, leading everyone to Shenzhou Continent's Heavenly Origin Sea.

High in the sky.

Hantian Ancient Saint looked around, breathing in the air of this place, then looked up to the sky, as if searching for something.

"How odd, where is Suspended Mountain?" Hantian Ancient Saint was puzzled.

"Gone," Ye Feng shook his head, simply sharing the incident of Suspended Mountain being taken away by the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable.

"Suspended Mountain was taken away?" Hantian Ancient Saint was shocked, "But that was our ancestral home!"

"You keep saying you're from Shenzhou, but even as Heavenly Dao, I can't detect any mark of Shenzhou on you, this is too strange."

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao frowned.

The Ancient Holy God seemed to recall something, saying:

"Wasn't Hantian Ancient Saint already elevated to Saint Manifestation a million years ago? At that time, Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao, you probably hadn't developed your own consciousness yet?"

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"That's true, but I am, after all, the Heavenly Dao, if Hantian Ancient Saint truly comes from Shenzhou of a million years ago, there should still be a response."

Ye Feng speculated: "Perhaps, it was a Heavenly Venerable who personally erased the connection between Hantian Ancient Saint and Shenzhou."

"That's also possible." Everyone nodded repeatedly.

At this stage, this was the most likely possibility.

Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao looked at Hantian Ancient Saint and asked:

"You say you are a cultivator from Shenzhou, then what exactly was Shenzhou like a million years ago?"

Although he was Heavenly Dao, he did not have exceedingly distant memories, only knowing about building Suspended Mountain into the center of Shenzhou after developing his own sentience.

But who knew that Suspended Mountain would end up being the dowry of the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable, much to the annoyance of Shenzhou's Heavenly Dao.

Hantian Ancient Saint retracted his Divine Sense, and said:

"Reporting to Senior Heavenly Dao, Shenzhou was already part of the Great Thousand World a million years ago. But back then, Shenzhou wasn't as large as it is now, including myself, there were only ten individuals at the Saint Realm."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

It seems there were not simple secrets related to the original state of Shenzhou, which already had ten Saint Realms a million years ago.

"Do you know the origin of Shenzhou?"

Heavenly Dao asked again.

Hantian Ancient Saint shook his head, saying:

"I'm not very clear on that, I was among the first batch of Saint Realm of the Shenzhou ancient era, before that, Shenzhou seems to have existed for quite a long time."

"However..."

"At that time, Shenzhou seemed to be pieced together from various chaotic fragments of small worlds, as if it had undergone a great war."

"The cultivation environment at the time was also not too friendly."

"Cultivators often fall victim to temporal-spatial turbulence, meeting their demise, with their Dao vanishing; and the difficulty of making a breakthrough is substantial."

"Until one day, the entire world suddenly became gentler, and cultivation finally became easier."

"Afterward, we began to succeed in our Saint Ascensions."

"Not long after I had just achieved Saint Manifestation, I was taken away by a mysterious messenger, who appointed me to preside over the North Pole Star System in the Northern Region of the Starry Sky World."

"As for the other Saint Realms, some joined me in presiding over the North Pole Star System, while others were allocated to various other star systems."

"That's the general situation."

Upon hearing the words of Hantian Ancient Saint, Ye Feng, Ancient Holy God, and Shenzhou Heavenly Dao exchanged glances and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"It seems that Shenzhou's predecessor is related to the Heavenly Venerable."

"But why would the Heavenly Venerable send a messenger to take Hantian Ancient Saint and others away to preside over the major star systems?"

"This, perhaps only the Heavenly Venerable knows."

The three spoke in low voices.

Ye Feng looked towards Hantian Ancient Saint and asked:

"Now that the Celestial Mechanism Barrier has vanished and the North Pole Star System has reemerged, what are the plans of you Ancient Saint Realms?"

"Of course, to return to Shenzhou," Hantian Ancient Saint candidly stated.

He was originally a native of Shenzhou and, even though he had presided over the Daoist Temple in the North Pole Star System for a million years and made quite a few old friends there, he always yearned for Shenzhou.

"That's wonderful!" Shenzhou Heavenly Dao was elated.

With the return of the Saint Realms, as Heavenly Dao, he was the first to wholeheartedly approve, even wanting to refine the dozens of Life Stars in the North Pole Star System as inferior realms.

Thus, he sought the opinion of Hantian Ancient Saint.

"The younger generation naturally has no objections," Hantian Ancient Saint readily agreed.

The North Pole Star System is an independent cluster of small worlds.

For a million years, no one has achieved Saint status there.

Even the prodigies with extraordinary talent, due to the North Pole Star System not being part of the Great Thousand World, have been forever stuck at the Peak Four-Turn Quasi-Saint stage, unable to make a breakthrough.

Refining the North Pole Star System into an inferior realm of Shenzhou not only allows Shenzhou Heavenly Dao to recover strength but also opens a gateway for the North Pole Star System, providing opportunities for Saint Ascension.

How could Hantian Ancient Saint oppose this?

Moments later.

Shenzhou Heavenly Dao immediately dispatched an avatar to enter the dozens of Life Stars in the North Pole Star System and began refining them.

As for Hantian Ancient Saint, he found the remaining Saint Realms, brought them to the Daoist Temple on the Polar Star, met with the avatar of Shenzhou Heavenly Dao, and explained the events of today.

Knowing they could finally return to Shenzhou, these ancient Saint Realms were naturally joyful.

In the starry sky.

Ye Feng continuously released his Divine Sense and discovered that in the starry regions to the south and in the Central Earth Star Domain of the Starry Sky World, there were similar ancient sealed areas like the North Pole Star System.

In each, sat several old-brand Saint Realms from the ancient era of Shenzhou.

Upon receiving the news, Shenzhou Heavenly Dao immediately took Hantian Ancient Saint with him, clarifying the situation, and brought all ten Saint Realms, including Hantian Ancient Saint, back to Shenzhou.

In the time that followed.

Shenzhou Heavenly Dao continuously refined these newly emerged ancient star systems, his Origin rapidly recovering, soon to return to its Peak.

Ye Feng did not concern himself with this.

...

Atop Misty Peak.

Ye Feng looked down at the Sect Main Plaza and saw that the disciples recruited in the past two months were residing around the plaza, waiting for registration.

"Elder Gong, please bring up the disciples!"

Ye Feng sent the message.

Several hours later.

Gong Qingqiu led nearly two thousand new disciples up the stone steps to the top of Misty Peak, sitting cross-legged in front of the Sect Leader's Great Hall.

"Next, we'll proceed with the registration of the new disciples; during this period, I, as the Sect Leader, will provide guidance."

Ye Feng spoke calmly.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The new disciples were thrilled.

Even Su Ling came here, sitting at the forefront, eagerly looking at Ye Feng, waiting for his teachings.
