The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal-Chapter 1269: Alliance with the Ten Directions Saint Emperor

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Alliance with the Ten Directions Saint Emperor

"Sect Master, I am fine." Sword Saint Yuexi quickly clasped his hands, feeling as though he had just survived a life-and-death ordeal.

"Many thanks for resolving the crisis, Sword Emperor." Ye Feng clasped his hands toward Nantian Sword Emperor to express his gratitude.

"No need for formalities, Ye Feng. Even without my intervention, you likely wouldn’t have died, right? At most, you would have been trapped for a while. With enough time, you could free yourself."

Nantian Sword Emperor smiled.

"Haha!" Ye Feng chuckled but said nothing more.

This was indeed the case.

Although the cage of laws could temporarily imprison him, it was impossible to trap him permanently. Eventually, there would always be a way to break free, though it might take more time.

"Sect Master, why did you leave seclusion?"

Sword Saint Yuexi asked.

"I haven’t left seclusion; my true body is still in retreat within the Nantian Sword Sect. However, I will emerge soon."

Nantian Sword Emperor shook his head.

"So you’re saying that what came here isn’t your true body?" Sword Saint Yuexi became surprised.

"Correct!" Nantian Sword Emperor nodded. "Recent insights have significantly enhanced my strength. Even though this is merely a Sword Intent Incarnation, it can wield fifty percent of my true body’s power."

"That’s incredible!"

Sword Saint Yuexi’s shock deepened.

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, equally astonished.

At the Hundred Tribulations Realm, the gap between a true body and its incarnation becomes increasingly pronounced. This is primarily because incarnations cannot carry much of the Power of Laws, resulting in a strength disparity several levels below the true body.

For example: Situ Ding.

This individual’s true body is at the peak of the fifth layer of the Hundred Tribulations Realm, but the strength of his incarnation is roughly at the first layer—a stark difference from his true body.

Another example is Ming Emperor.

His true body is at the eighth layer of the Hundred Tribulations Realm. Yet, his previous incarnation could only reach the strength of the peak of the third layer.

Generally speaking,

an incarnation in the Hundred Tribulations Realm possesses only about ten percent of the true body’s strength, sometimes even less.

The fact that Nantian Sword Emperor can attain fifty percent of his true body’s strength through his Sword Intent Incarnation is nothing short of miraculous.

"Fifty percent of the true body’s strength is indeed impressive, though it’s regrettable that it’s still far from achieving the full ten levels of power. Otherwise, one could easily sweep through all formidable enemies without needing the true body to step out. What a great joy that would be."

Nantian Sword Emperor mused.

The next moment.

He looked at Ye Feng and said, "Ye Feng, if you have time, you should visit our Nantian Sword Sect again. I find your current state quite interesting."

Having said that, Nantian Sword Emperor’s Sword Intent Incarnation dissolved, transforming into a cluster of starlight that quickly disappeared.

"Visit Nantian Sword Sect?"

Ye Feng was taken aback.

But since this was an invitation from Nantian Sword Emperor, he naturally wouldn’t refuse. Instead, his gaze swept over his own form.

At this very moment.

He was still in his unique Chaos Mist state.

Attempting to carve out a completely different cultivation path in a short time is an extraordinarily difficult task.

For the foreseeable future, he would have to remain in this strange and unusual state.

Moments later.

Ye Feng looked toward Ten Directions Saint Emperor, Grand Elder, and others not far away, clasped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Saint Emperor, for your assistance. Ye Feng is profoundly grateful."

"No need for formalities."

Ten Directions Saint Emperor clasped his hands back, then looked at the Grand Elder beside him and said, "Without Sect Master Ye’s help, our Grand Elder’s strength wouldn’t have increased so dramatically. In principle, you are a distinguished ally of our Ten Directions Holy Sect."

"Indeed, we are no longer enemies."

Ye Feng said meaningfully, before sending a message to Ten Directions Saint Emperor: "Saint Emperor, do you still remember the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable from back then?"

"Huh?!"

Ten Directions Saint Emperor’s eyes flashed with surprise. "Sect Master Ye, might I request a private conversation with you?"

"Very well." Ye Feng nodded.

The two ripped through the void and vanished, leaving the crowd behind in a state of bewilderment.

In a secluded area.

Ten Directions Saint Emperor and Ye Feng arrived together, standing atop a barren, towering peak. They placed soundproof and thought-suppressing restrictions around them, ensuring their conversation would remain private.

"Have you encountered the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable?"

After making adequate preparations, Ten Directions Saint Emperor immediately looked at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Yes," Ye Feng said solemnly. "To be honest, I have an enmity with the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable."

"Oh?" Ten Directions Saint Emperor’s gaze became more serious. "Could you elaborate?"

"Before speaking further, I’d like to ask a question first. Back then, you held a grudge against the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable, didn’t you?" Ye Feng’s expression turned grave as he asked.

"Indeed." Ten Directions Saint Emperor nodded.

"Why is that?" Ye Feng asked.

Ten Directions Saint Emperor fell silent for a moment, then said:

"The situation is similar to the rumors circulating—my cousin, Emperor Yuan, the ruler of Dongzhou’s Yuanwu Divine Nation, once held a grudge against the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable. I intervened on his behalf and wounded the Saintly Venerable, thus creating a long-standing feud."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng understood.

The rumors were true.

The Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable indeed held enmity with Emperor Yuan of Yuanwu Divine Nation and Ten Directions Saint Emperor of the Ten Directions Holy Sect.

"Given your mutual enmity, there’s something I must inform you."

Ye Feng extended his hand, revealing a screen of light that displayed the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable’s actions on Shenzhou Continent. Of course, the Tyrant Emperor’s identity was concealed.

He appeared under the guise of Skeleton Great Emperor.

Even Ten Directions Saint Emperor remained unaware that Skeleton Great Emperor was, in reality, the famous Ancient Holy God Overlord Emperor.

"So the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable isn’t dead yet!"

After watching the footage, Ten Directions Saint Emperor’s expression changed drastically.

"It gets even more interesting." Ye Feng played another clip, depicting his foray into the Rushing Void Immortal Domain and the moment when he and Chong Xu Zi joined forces to terrify the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable.

"The Saintly Venerable has already reached the peak of the fourth layer of the Hundred Tribulations Realm!"

Ten Directions Saint Emperor’s face shifted dramatically.

For ten thousand years, his cultivation level hadn’t stagnated; he had successfully advanced to the peak of the fourth layer of the Hundred Tribulations Realm. But to his dismay, the Saintly Venerable had also reached this same level.

"He fled to the Immortal Realm."

Ye Feng stowed the footage. "He comprehended the World Fusion Law. With access to the Immortal Realm, which houses numerous worlds, he’s like a tiger with wings; his progress will accelerate rapidly."

"What should we do?"

Ten Directions Saint Emperor’s face was fraught with worry.

The Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable was his mortal adversary. Leaving him unchecked would undoubtedly spell catastrophe in the future.

"No need to worry!"

Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively. "The Saintly Venerable is my enemy as well. In our last battle, I already implanted a tracking mark on him. It will last for ten years; we won’t lose track of him."

"That’s excellent news." Ten Directions Saint Emperor’s eyes lit up.

Since he could track the Saintly Venerable, a joint effort would allow them to locate their foe.

Then, they could kill him!

Once and for all!

"Sect Master Ye, from this day on, our friendship is sealed! If you’re ever interested, you’re welcome to visit our Ten Directions Holy Sect for tea and discussions about the Dao."

Ten Directions Saint Emperor was immensely grateful.

Having Ye Feng as an ally gave him comfort and confidence, ensuring he wouldn’t need to fear the lurking threat of the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable.

"Tea isn’t necessary; I must visit Nantian Sword Sect to pay respects to Senior Nantian Sword Emperor."

Ye Feng shook his head.

"Fair enough. Then let me guard Myriad Clans Divine Mountain for you, to prevent the Clan Leader of the Myriad Clans from escaping."

Ten Directions Saint Emperor vowed sincerely.

"I am indebted to you." Ye Feng clasped his hands in gratitude.

...

Moments later.

Myriad Clans Continent.

Ten Directions Saint Emperor led the majority of the elders and disciples of Ten Directions Holy Sect, landing on the ground and lining up in multiple formations, staring coldly at Myriad Clans Divine Mountain in the distance.

"I, the Emperor, am here—let’s see who dares to come out."

Ten Directions Saint Emperor declared.

The energy of the peak of the fourth layer of the Hundred Tribulations Realm exploded forth, enveloping the entire Myriad Clans Continent.

"Damn it!"

The Chief of the Hunting Tribe and others were enraged.

A single Ye Feng was already enough to suppress them beyond recovery, and now a fourth-layer Hundred Tribulations Realm Ten Directions Saint Emperor had arrived, accompanied by the elders of Ten Directions Holy Sect. It was truly unbearable!

Amid the starry sky.

Ye Feng stood beside Sword Saint Yuexi, his gaze withdrawing from Myriad Clans Continent. He said, "Let’s go to Dizhou’s Nantian Sword Sect and visit Nantian Sword Emperor."

"Let me lead the way."

Sword Saint Yuexi took the lead.
