The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 1510: Chapter 1510: Shenzhou’s Changes

Venerable Lu Xia fell silent.

She knew that Heavenly Venerable Lu was speaking the truth.

A cultivator, if they intentionally eliminate other prodigies while they are still weak, will indeed face no rivals in the future but will also lose the invincible heart.

Such cultivators might reach the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor realm, becoming unrivaled cosmic powerhouses.

But, they cannot truly attain the Dao.

In this lifetime, that’s as far as they will go.

Suddenly, Venerable Lu Xia remembered something, her pupils constricted sharply, and she said, "Father, our universe has at least over nine origin eras of ancient history, which spans hundreds of billions of years. How many Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors would have appeared during this time? Could they... still be alive?"

Heavenly Venerable Lu fell silent immediately.

He was worried about this issue too.

Immortal Emperors at the Thirty-four Layer and above possess endless longevity; as long as they seal themselves, they can basically survive safely to this era.

So, he was very curious whether those Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors had really died; if not, they might very well be lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right time to move.

Such people are the most dangerous!

Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors are invincible beneath the Heavenly Venerable.

It’s too difficult to deal with them!

Any Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, should they truly go berserk, could stir the entire universe, causing countless lives to perish, making all living beings tremble.

"It’s utterly terrifying!"

Heavenly Venerable Lu couldn’t help but feel a tingling on his scalp.

"Father, quickly answer me, where have those Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors, as well as so many above the Eightieth-layered ones, gone?" Venerable Lu Xia pressed.

"I don’t know." Heavenly Venerable Lu shook his head, "Not speaking of the earlier origin eras, let’s talk about the last origin era, there emerged altogether more than a dozen Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors, didn’t they? Each one was a peerless villain. But later, Spirit Heavenly Immortal suddenly rose, attaining the Dao in three thousand years, overpowering all heroes."

After pausing for a moment, he continued:

"Afterwards, when Spirit Heavenly Immortal attained the Dao, those Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors mysteriously vanished. I suspect they followed Spirit Heavenly Immortal, transcending the universe!"

This possibility is significant.

After leaving this universe and venturing to a wider world outside, there naturally could be opportunities to attain the Dao; those Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors couldn’t possibly miss such a chance.

"Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors are very strong; Spirit Heavenly Immortal likely indeed took them as followers, leaving this universe. But what about the other powerhouses?" Venerable Lu Xia asked again.

"This..." Heavenly Venerable Lu fell silent again, thinking for a moment, "Perhaps, like us, they chose to lay dormant, surviving until this era."

"Father, if they really survived to this era, wouldn’t our creation of the Ancient Dragon Court earlier be too high-profile?"

Venerable Lu Xia began to worry.

Heavenly Venerable Lu rubbed his chin and said:

"Perhaps, others chose to reincarnate because with their powers, they could gain better aptitudes upon reincarnation, leading to greater potential. And as long as they retrace the path of their past life, they could quickly regain peak cultivation, a true return of the king."

Venerable Lu Xia questioned: "However, even with reincarnation and reconstruction, wouldn’t it require certain time to regain past life cultivation, aren’t they afraid of being killed during this period?"

"Daughter, are you silly, if you were to reincarnate and reconstruct, would you not leave any contingency plans? Like, a Protector."

Heavenly Venerable Lu gave her a sidelong glance.

"Oh, that’s right!" Venerable Lu Xia slapped her forehead, feeling that she was indeed foolish just now, "So, surely there must be a group of top-ranked Immortal Emperors like us alive in this era, becoming Protectors."

"Correct." Heavenly Venerable Lu nodded, "These individuals should emerge soon, but you need not worry. Among Immortal Emperors beyond the Eightieth-layer, I currently can sense just a few of us; others probably reincarnated."

"Father, why didn’t you reincarnate?"

"Why should I reincarnate? We have been suppressed for so long; was there an opportunity for reincarnation?"

"That’s true!"

This father-daughter duo continued discussing, revealing many rather significant bits of information, which were enough to cause a sensation across the Three Realms if spread.

...

Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao was observing everything.

He, being the Heavenly Dao of Shenzhou Continent, had the Ancient Dragon Court established by the Heavenly Origin Sea, under his surveillance range, thus hearing the conversation between the two.

Actually, he previously was unable to hear conversations of this level, as he was only an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

But inexplicably, recently, Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao felt his consciousness strengthened by the cosmic consciousness, growing ever stronger.

Especially in terms of sensibility.

He could even eavesdrop on their conversation without alerting Heavenly Venerable Lu.

This shocked Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao.

"What’s happening to me?"

Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao expressed confusion.

He can sense that the Shenzhou Continent is secretly growing stronger, with the originally needed breakthrough to Heavenly Dao Realm to open the cosmic void channel strangely opened, enabling him to absorb void energy.

However, this energy can only be absorbed by him; others cannot absorb it, as if it was prepared exclusively for him.

"I’ve certainly been plotted against!"

Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao was deeply unsettled.

Half a day later.

After eavesdropping Heavenly Venerable Lu and Venerable Lu Xia’s conversation, he instantly arrived at the top of Misty Peak.

"Sect Master Ye."

"Senior Heavenly Dao, what brings you here?"

Seeing Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao incarnation, Ye Feng was surprised to find that the counterpart’s aura was far more magnificent than before, giving him a sense akin to that of a ten-layered Immortal Emperor.

"Senior’s breakthrough is quite fast."

Ye Feng subconsciously commented.

"You noticed?"

Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao was somewhat astonished.

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, "I find, compared to last time, Senior has grown much stronger, comparable to a ten-layered Immortal Emperor."

"Indeed." Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao nodded, "Recently, I’ve inexplicably absorbed a lot of void energy, making me much stronger."

"How can it be?" Ye Feng was shocked.

Heavenly Dao Realm’s Heavenly Dao can establish an energy link between the world and the universe, continuously absorbing precious void energy, enhancing themselves.

Yet, Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao is only a ten-layered Immortal Emperor!

Is someone scheming behind the scenes?

Is it the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables?

Ye Feng couldn’t help but speculate in this direction.

"Senior, you just mentioned that you can absorb a large amount of void energy, so, can you spare me some?" Ye Feng showed interest.

"I can’t." Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao shook his head, "This is energy exclusive to me, only I can absorb it; giving it to you, you cannot use it."

Speaking, he spread open his palm.

A wisp of void energy drifted out, which Ye Feng caught, attempting to absorb it with the Dao Scripture, but found it unresponsive, seemingly locked.

"Odd!"

Ye Feng lost interest.

Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao waved to disperse the wisp of void energy, integrating it into Shenzhou Continent, then, with an air of mystery, said: "Ye Feng, I just learned extremely important news at the Ancient Dragon Court, you must listen and prepare in advance."

"I am eager to hear the details." Ye Feng expressed interest.

Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao immediately recounted the secrets he heard at the Ancient Dragon Court, which made Ye Feng’s face change dramatically.

"You mean, during the last origin era and in even more ancient periods, besides certain prodigies reincarnating into Shenzhou, there were also some old monsters reincarnated?"

Ye Feng felt his head spinning; these old monsters were none to be trifled with.

"Yes."

Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao nodded slightly, "However, I’m very curious why they all chose to reincarnate to Shenzhou Continent rather than places like the Immortal Realm and Three Thousand Realms’ Nine Great Upper Worlds with better cultivation environments."

"Could it be related to the recent sudden absorption of so much void energy by you?"

Ye Feng keenly locked onto this point.

"Hiss!"

Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao immediately sucked in a cold breath, secretly thinking that he might be caught in a scheme by some mysterious existence?

This... What can be done?!

[Good night everyone!]
