The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

However, one could see the nearby scenery from outside, which was quite peculiar.

“Sect Master Uncle, I feel like I can’t even cast a spell,” Long Tianxing tried to perform “Earth Escape” with his hands, but found that the spiritual energy in his body was suppressed by some force, allowing him only one-tenth of its power, not even enough to conjure the spell.

“This is the oppressive force of the Three Thousand Realms,” Long Jiu explained.

Ye Feng looked at Long Jiu and noticed that the aura emanating from him was only that of the first level of the Element Gathering Realm, indeed suppressed to one-tenth.

Even Long Er, the one with the highest cultivation level, had his spiritual energy fluctuate only to the equivalent of the peak of the third level of the Element Gathering Realm.

In contrast, Ye Feng’s physical strength and Heroic Spirit Power both remained at their peak, which seemed like a bug-like existence. With the help of the Mini Banana Palm Fan’s spell-breaking abilities, he could do as he pleased.

“I like this place!”

Ye Feng was delighted, and he soared into the air to look into the distance.

The area they were in was the boundary of this large Cave Heaven World. Behind them was a milky-white rock face that at a distance looked like the firmament and clouds, making it impossible to tell that it was actually a boundary.

The entire large Cave Heaven World spanned hundreds of miles, equivalent to a large city.

On the ground, there were mountains, lakes, farmland, forests, and grasslands, as if they were a corner cut from some world.

“Is this the Three Thousand Realms? It feels so vast!” Long Tianxing, carried by the collar and flying mid-air with Ye Feng, looked around and was deeply shocked.

“This world is a large Cave Heaven World, the main world of the Three Thousand Realms. There are many portals throughout this world that lead to thousands of Miniature and Medium-Sized Cave Heaven Worlds,” Long Jiu explained.

“By the way, where is Long Yuanqing trapped?” Ye Feng asked.

“I don’t know,” Long Jiu shook his head.

Ye Feng found it strange: “When Long Yuanqing and the others came here, they should have been searching for the Bizarre Spirit Fruit that the Great Elder mentioned. Logically, such Spirit Fruit would grow in fixed places, so why not go directly there?”

“This…” Long Jiu looked embarrassed.

Elder Long Er couldn’t stand it anymore and scolded, “Long Jiu, why are you always so hesitant and wasting time? Just say it directly! Never mind, I’ll tell you!”

“The place where the Bizarre Spirit Fruit grows is a Floating Island about one hundred yards in diameter, revered as ‘Divine Island’. It has a special Teleportation Array and appears unpredictably anywhere in the Three Thousand Realms without any fixed location.”

“The fastest way, I see, is to search world by world.”

“However, Divine Island is too large to fit in Miniature Cave Heaven Worlds, which can be ruled out. There are a total of one hundred thirty-seven Medium-Sized Cave Heaven Worlds. Here is the map; we’ll split up and search one by one.”

Having said that, Elder Long Er spread out a sheepskin scroll map.

This was the map of the central world of the Three Thousand Realms. It marked the portals to other Cave Heaven Worlds, but the markings were not detailed, and the specific entrances and exits had to be located when one was near them.

“We have a map now, but how do we get into these Medium-Sized Cave Heaven Worlds after we find the entrances?” Ye Feng voiced his concern.

“Sect Master Ye, rest assured, as long as we carry the Moonshine Stone, unique to our Dragonfolk Clan, we can freely enter those Cave Heaven Worlds,” Elder Long Er handed a moon-white goose egg-sized stone to Ye Feng.

“Good, let’s split up and act,” Ye Feng accepted the Moonshine Stone and, holding the map, said to Long Tianxing, “You follow me.”

“Okay,” Long Tianxing nodded obediently.

“We must hurry and set off,” Elder Long Er was extremely anxious, wishing to leave right then and not wanting to wait.

“No rush, let’s first divide the areas each of us is responsible for. Once we find something, we’ll immediately contact each other using Messenger Paper Cranes,” Ninth Elder took out nine silver paper cranes.

Hearing this, the impatient Elder Long Er rolled his eyes.

“Fine!”

In the blink of an eye, the group of ten split up.

Ye Feng and Long Tianxing teamed up while the other eight elders each went alone, flying towards different areas of the main world.

“Sect Master, we are responsible for twelve Medium-Sized Cave Heaven Worlds; the closest one is about fifteen miles away in a small village,” Long Tianxing looked at the map and began to guide the way.

Ye Feng noticed that the Three Thousand Realms had no sun, illuminated solely by the brightly lit firmament. Also, because of the abundant clouds, even if one flew in mid-air, they might not be discovered by the natives.

He looked into the distance and saw a small mountain range with a small village in the middle, home to a few hundred people; it wouldn’t take long to reach there.

At this very moment, in the ancient village called “Xiaolan Village,” everyone was gathered in front of the Five-Colored Altar, muttering all manner of strange incantations.

“Respected Rain God, can you hear our calls?”

“We haven’t had rain for three months, without water for the crops, three hundred and three people in the village will die of thirst and hunger!”

“Heavens above, earth below, save the children!”

In front of the altar, an elder kept kowtowing, his voice trembling as he chanted.

Just then, Ye Feng, with Long Tianxing in Dragon Transformation Form, descended from the sky and landed directly on the altar.

All the villagers of Xiaolan lifted their heads, their eyes wide with astonishment as they looked at Ye Feng and Long Tianxing, their parched lips trembling as though they were scared.

“You… are you the Rain God?” the elder in front of the altar inquired respectfully, his eyes flickering with light, eager to hear Ye Feng’s answer.

“No,” Ye Feng shook his head.

He was just a mortal, not any kind of Rain God.

“But I clearly saw you flying, isn’t that what a Divine Spirit can do?” a wan and sallow woman asked loudly.

“God, please save us!”

The people in the village cried out one after another.

Ye Feng looked around and noticed that the area was inexplicably dry; he didn’t know what had happened, but since someone was asking for help, and he needed to find an entrance and exit in the village, he could only say, “Although I am not the Rain God, I can make it rain.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng held the Mini Banana Palm Fan and waved it towards the sky.

With the first wave, a great wind arose.

With the second, thunder flashed, lightning struck, and rain fell.

The people of Xiaolan Village gazed up at the sky, welcoming the falling rain with their faces, and cheered.

“Thank you, Rain God, holy and wise Rain God!”

The people of Xiaolan Village knelt down and thanked him one after another, while Ye Feng shook his head and continued to wave the Mini Banana Palm Fan, bringing a torrential downpour that watered the area within hundreds of meters.

Bathed in the rainwater infused with Spiritual Energy, the withered crops revived, becoming lush and green.

Watching the jubilant crowd, who seemed like children receiving their beloved toys, Ye Feng suddenly had an idea and said, “I am not the Rain God, but the Sect Master of the Misty Sect, Ye Feng. You can call me Sect Master Ye.”

[Sect Prestige Value +303]

In an instant, Ye Feng received a prompt from the System, his eyes wide open.

The entire Xiaolan Village, with so many people, had instantly recognized the Misty Sect; doing good was indeed rewarding!

“Thank you, Sect Master Ye!” The elder responsible for the rites quickly knelt and kowtowed.

Ye Feng waved his fan and helped him up, then asked, “Do you know where there is an archway?”

“An archway?”

The crowd was stunned.

Ye Feng quickly gestured with his hands to describe the shape of an archway.

“I know, near the ancient well by the village.” A woman who frequently carried water immediately led the way.

Before long, Ye Feng and Long Tianxing stood before a white stone archway covered with dried-up vines. Ye Feng took out the Moonshine Stone and activated it.

Bang!

All the vines were blown away, and a light screen appeared on the archway. Ye Feng and Long Tianxing did not hesitate; they quickly stepped through the archway and entered a Medium-Sized Cave Heaven World spanning ten-odd miles.

Ye Feng did not know that the moment they stepped through the archway, deep beneath Xiaolan Village, a figure with a red-golden hue opened its eyes. The aura on its body gradually intensified, like a volcano heating the earth, turning the surroundings into waterless dry land.

In the Medium-Sized Cave Heaven World.

Ye Feng overlooked the entire land and found that there were three tribes living here, each with over a thousand people, waging war against each other, oblivious to the broader world beyond.

“Sect Master, there is no Divine Island here.”

Long Tianxing scanned the area with his Blue Spirit Eyes but found nothing.

“Hmm, let’s quickly move on to the next Medium-Sized Cave Heaven World.” Ye Feng felt there was no value in lingering here and proceeded to leave with Long Tianxing.

Although he could show off in front of those three tribes and earn some Prestige Points, with a mission to fulfill, Ye Feng thought it best to pass this time.

If there was a chance, he would come back to harvest Prestige Points next time.

The two crossed back through the archway and returned to Xiaolan Village, ready to head to the next marked location on the map.

Boom!

The ground suddenly shook violently, with cracks spreading hundreds of meters across the surface. An intense heat burst from the fissures, evaporating nearby water, once again leaving Xiaolan Village parched.

“Heh heh heh, I have finally broken through my limit. Divine Spirits of the Three Thousand Realms, tremble before me!” An exceedingly arrogant voice came from beneath the fissure, making even the sky seem to tremble.

The villagers of Xiaolan Village had never seen such a display and were scared stiff.

Crack!

A three-meter-tall Flame Giant tore through the rocks and earth, flying into the sky, radiating the aura of the first level Peak of the Element Gathering Realm, sweeping around and causing many houses to shatter and collapse.

“It’s a Demon God!”

The villagers of Xiaolan Village shouted in despair.
