The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: One Hundred Spirit Stones, Entry into the Three Thousand Realms

“The Three Thousand Realms is a large-scale Cave Heaven World opened up by our Dragonfolk Clan, which connects countless medium-sized and miniature Cave Heaven Worlds. Combined, they number in the thousands, which is why it’s called the Three Thousand Realms.”

The Great Elder explained.

Long Tianxing had already awakened a supreme grade bloodline and was currently the strongest bloodline holder in the Dragonfolk Clan, as well as their true core figure. In the Great Elder’s view, it was no big deal to tell him these secrets.

“Thousands of Cave Heaven Worlds… If we could take them away, wouldn’t that be a colossal fortune?” Long Tianxing drew in a breath of cold air.

The Great Elder shook his head while flying, “You can’t take it with you. It’s a large-scale Cave Heaven World from ancient times. The miniature and medium-sized worlds inside have been refined into one entity, not even an Array Master could separate them.”

“Why did my father want to enter the Three Thousand Realms?” Long Tianxing took the opportunity to ask.

“The Three Thousand Realms originate from ancient times, containing a bizarre spirit fruit that can develop the Dragonfolk bloodline. It matures once a year, so every year a war team is sent in to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.”

The Great Elder continued to explain, “However, after your father entered last time, he never came out. I guess he’s trapped somewhere!”

Long Tianxing’s heart jumped, “How does the Great Elder know my father and the others are still alive?”

“The Soul Lamp is still lit, which means they are alive. But the Soul Lamp is slightly dim, indicating they’ve been injured and haven’t recovered over these years,” the Great Elder sighed softly.

At that moment, the two returned to the Dragonfolk Ancient Town.

“My child, you’ve finally come back.” Long Yuxin stood at the grand hall entrance, craning her neck in anticipation. Upon seeing Long Tianxing, she immediately rushed over.

Ye Feng walked over and noticed that Long Tianxing’s cultivation level had not increased. However, as a Sect Leader, he could sense through the System that a transformation had taken place within Long Tianxing.

So, Ye Feng opened the System panel.

[Outer Sect Disciple Long Tianxing: Qi Refining Seventh Level. Supreme grade Dragonfolk bloodline. Ready to enter the Dragon Transformation State at any time, with a dramatic increase in combat power.]

Seeing this, Ye Feng’s face showed surprise.

Dragon Transformation State?

Although he didn’t know what that was, it sounded badass indeed.

At that moment, Long Jiu looked eagerly at Long Tianxing and asked, “Is your bloodline of supreme grade?”

“It’s supreme grade. We can open the gate to the Three Thousand Realms in a moment,” the Great Elder answered for Long Tianxing, causing Long Jiu’s face to light up with wild joy.

“That’s great!” Long Jiu started pacing back and forth excitedly, “Long Yuanqing and the others have been trapped for several years, and now they can finally come out. There’s no time to lose, let’s open the gate now!”

“Okay,” the Great Elder nodded and began walking leisurely ahead.

He was just too fat!

Even though he could fly, it consumed a lot of spiritual power, and with his age, combined with the Mysterious Turtle bloodline, the Great Elder always preferred to slow down.

“Great Elder, you’re walking too slowly!” Unable to stand the sluggish pace, Long Jiu immediately hoisted the several thousand pounds’ Great Elder onto his shoulders and took off running ahead.

“Slow down, just a bit slower!” the Great Elder hastily reminded.

However, Long Jiu couldn’t wait any longer. Not only did he not slow down, he sped up even more.

“Let’s follow them,” Ye Feng said, taking Long Tianxing and Long Yuxin along.

After half a column of incense had burned.

The group arrived at a sweltering palace thousands of meters underground.

There, several Element Gathering Realm powerhouses of the Dragonfolk Clan stood guard, each giving Ye Feng a feel of extreme strength, the strongest of whom had already broken through to the seventh level of Element Gathering Realm.

“These are the seven elders, Long Er, Long San… Long Ba, and others,” the Great Elder landed on the ground and introduced them to Ye Feng and Long Tianxing.

“Greetings to the Great Elder,” the seven elders stood up to welcome him, then looked at Ye Feng and Long Yuxin in surprise, finally settling their gaze on Long Tianxing.

As ones who had awakened their Dragonfolk bloodline, they faintly felt in front of Long Tianxing as if they were subjects in the presence of their sovereign.

They knew very well what this meant.

“Supreme grade bloodline!”

The seven elders were overjoyed.

“Indeed, a supreme grade bloodline; Long Yuanqing and the others can now be saved,” Long Jiu laughed heartily.

“Then, let’s open the gate now,” Elder Long Er, who was impatient by nature, could no longer wait and urged them on.

“Tian Xing, enter the Dragon Transformation State, then go to that enormous portal, and channel all your power into it. Remember, you must channel all your power to open a stable passage,” the Great Elder pointed to a ten zhang tall archway in the center of the great hall and reminded solemnly.

“Yes.”

Long Tianxing nodded.

Ye Feng observed the archway, made of special stone materials with many exquisite patterns carved on its surface, giving off an inscrutable feeling.

Upon hearing the words “Dragon Transformation,” Long Yuxin’s eyes immediately lit up, evidently looking forward to it.

“Dragon Transformation!”

Long Tianxing shouted loudly, his body began to glow, and then transformed into a dragon form. The aura emanating from him grew stronger, giving the impression of facing a demi-transformed demon beast.

“It’s a fivefold increase in strength; he can now compete with the Black Patterned Serpent Demon I encountered before,” Ye Feng detected the increase in Long Tianxing’s strength through the System, greatly astonished.

“Exactly! My son really is majestic,” Long Yuxin stomped on the ground forcefully, with a brilliant light shining in her bright eyes.

Back then, it was precisely because Long Yuanqing looked so domineering in the Dragon Transformation Form that Long Yuxin took a fancy to him; otherwise, even though Long Yuanqing had pursued her for a long time, she would not have been moved.

That’s right!

Long Yuxin and Long Yuanqing’s romance was not a case of the woman chasing the man but the man pursuing the woman!

Initially, Long Yuxin was not interested in Long Yuanqing, until one day they encountered danger, Long Yuanqing transformed into his Dragon Form to defeat their opponents, and that successfully caught Long Yuxin’s attention.

The following year, Tian Xing was born.

As soon as Tian Xing entered his Dragon Transformation Form, he immediately followed the Great Elder’s instructions, standing before this gigantic gateway with both hands placed on the half-meter-in-diameter stone sphere beside the arch, pouring his power into it.

Hum!

The earth trembled slightly.

The archway seemed to come alive, releasing a pale white light screen downwards, spreading to the ground, making the entire arch seem like a curtain of water.

As Tian Xing continued to pour power into it, the light screen opened from the center toward both sides, revealing a whole new world behind it, ancient and desolate, as if it had survived from the primordial era.

“It’s open, finally open!”

Everyone was exhilarated.

“Tian Xing, don’t stop! Keep pouring your power in, otherwise the portal will close, and all our efforts will be in vain,” the Great Elder solemnly reminded, worried that Tian Xing might suddenly stop.

“I’ll try my best!” Tian Xing felt as if his body was being hollowed out, his own power rapidly depleting, so much so that his consciousness was starting to blur.

But thinking about his father, Tian Xing still clenched his teeth and persevered.

Clang!

A clear sound rang out.

“That’s enough, let go quickly!” the Great Elder hastily advised, swiftly using his staff to flick Tian Xing away, causing him to fly backwards.

But before Long Jiu could catch Tian Xing, everyone was surprised to find that Tian Xing was suspended in midair, as if held up by some invisible force.

“Leave him to me!”

Ye Feng spoke, and with a gentle wave of the Banana Fan, Tian Xing slowly landed on the ground.

“What is this power? It’s almost as strong as the second layer of the Element Gathering Realm!” the Great Elder looked at Ye Feng with amazement, “This must be Sect Master Ye, right? The power you just used doesn’t seem like a spell, and there were no fluctuations of spiritual energy.”

“It’s the Power of Heaven and Earth,” Ye Feng said.

The Power of Heaven and Earth includes various forces, one of which is Heroic Spirit Power, but simply saying Heroic Spirit Power, the people of the Dragonfolk Clan might not know what it means.

“The Power of Heaven and Earth?” Everyone around them cast a strange look.

The Great Elder’s face showed delight and said, “Sect Master Ye, would you be willing to enter the Three Thousand Realms?”

Ye Feng was surprised and asked, “Why should I go in?”

“Sect Master Ye may not know, there are special prohibitions within the Three Thousand Realms that suppress the power of cultivation to one-tenth of its peak stage, leaving one to rely only on their physical strength or other means to survive. With your Power of Heaven and Earth, entering it won’t affect you, and you can help us,” the Great Elder revealed the reason.

Hearing this, Ye Feng became even more astonished.

Once the power of cultivation was suppressed to one-tenth, it meant that an individual at the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Realm would essentially only be able to exert the strength of the peak of the fifth layer of the Element Gathering Realm upon entering.

If someone from the fifth layer of the Element Gathering Realm went in, they would only be slightly stronger than someone from the first layer of the Element Gathering Realm on the outside.

It was even worse for those in the Qi Refining Realm.

A cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm entering the Three Thousand Realms would likely only be able to exhibit the first level’s cultivation, possibly even finding it difficult to execute spells.

“Judging by this, after I enter, I can exert one hundred percent of my power and basically overpower someone at the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Realm,” Ye Feng calculated this point but still felt some concern, “Are there any Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses in the Three Thousand Realms?”

“The Three Thousand Realms have special restrictions; Spirit Sea Realm cultivators can’t enter,” the Great Elder explained.

“Is that so…” Ye Feng was secretly pleased.

Without the Spirit Sea Realm, even those at the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Realm would be suppressed to around the peak of the fifth layer of the Element Gathering Realm, which meant, with his strength, he could essentially do whatever he wanted in the Three Thousand Realms.

With that in mind, Ye Feng agreed and nodded, “I can go in and help, but what’s in it for me? And what about Tian Xing? How long can we stay inside?”

Facing this series of concerns, the Great Elder addressed them one by one, “We can give Sect Master Ye a hundred spirit stones as a reward. Tian Xing’s strength will recover soon, and he will join you inside and might be able to offer some assistance. The portal will remain open for seven days and nights; whether you find Long Yuanqing and the others or not, you must come out within seven days.”

“Only a hundred spirit stones?” Ye Feng doubted whether he had heard correctly.

Thwack!

A bag of spirit stones was thrown over, Ye Feng caught it in his hand, and upon opening it, his eyes gleamed.

These were a hundred middle-grade spirit stones, equivalent to ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones!

“When do we set off?” Ye Feng put away the spirit stones with a beaming smile.

“Just wait a moment, Tian Xing’s strength hasn’t fully recovered… Eh!” Halfway through speaking, the Great Elder looked towards Tian Xing, “Tian Xing’s strength is about to recover; he’s recovering so quickly.”

Ye Feng followed his gaze and saw numerous silver starlights emerging from the gateway, continuously returning to Tian Xing’s body; before long, he was jumping around energetically.

“All right, let’s set off, I can’t wait any longer.” Elder Long Er, who was impatient, held a compass and paced back and forth in front of the portal.

“I’ll wait for you here, remember, the portal will only be open for seven days’ time, you must return within seven days no matter the outcome, and we cannot afford to lose anyone,” the Great Elder said, too tired to stand, he simply sat down on the ground, panting.

Knowing she couldn’t enter, Long Yuxin obediently stayed put.

“Mother, we’re going,” Tian Xing waved, keeping his Dragon Transformation Form, and stood beside Ye Feng, resembling a ready dragon warrior.

“Go, and make sure to bring your father back!” Long Yuxin pressed her lips tightly together, looking a bit reluctant.

The next moment, Ye Feng, Tian Xing, Long Jiu, Elder Long Er, and the other seven elders set off, stepping through the gigantic portal and all entered the ancient and venerable Three Thousand Realms.
