The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 181: Merging the Wind Halting Pearl, Arrival of the Divine Race
“System, open the small gift package,” Ye Feng thought in silence.

“Ding, you have obtained a Wind Halting Pearl×1.”

Although Ye Feng was not unfamiliar with this name, he still clicked to view the detailed introduction of the Wind Halting Pearl.

[Wind Halting Pearl: Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact]

[Introduction: As the name suggests, a wind-controlling spiritual artifact]

[Bound to: Ye Feng]

[Note: Just like the Spirit Origin Clock, it possesses a “custody” function, allowing the bound user to temporarily designate a “custodian” to utilize this item]

[Note 2: Detected that it can be fused with the Five Elements Spirit Bead to become a Wind Spirit Pearl]

Seeing this information, Ye Feng was full of doubts.

“System, the Five Elements Spirit Bead is the carrier of the Heroic Spirit Power. If it fuses with the Wind Halting Pearl, wouldn’t my Heroic Spirit Power dissipate?” Ye Feng voiced his concern.

“It will not. The Wind Spirit Pearl can perfectly merge the advantages of both beads and there’s also a chance to derive special functions,” the System explained.

“Then let’s fuse them!” Ye Feng made up his mind.

“It will cost one thousand Power of Faith,” stated the System its condition.

“That much?” Ye Feng was taken aback, swiftly opened the system panel, and found that he currently had just over a thousand Power of Faith—it would almost be used up.

But to escape the predicament, Ye Feng still took out the Wind Halting Pearl and the Five Elements Spirit Bead.

One was multicolored; the other was white.

“Eh, what’s this?” Long Tianxing, eating, caught a glimpse of the Wind Halting Pearl and the Five Elements Spirit Bead, and immediately became curious.

“You’ll find out in a moment,” Ye Feng said as he used up a thousand Power of Faith and forcefully collided the two treasure beads.

Puff!

A strange sound echoed as the two treasure beads instantly merged into a transparent bead the size of a baby’s fist. On closer inspection, one could see three special strands of energy within it.

“How did the two beads turn into one?” Long Tianxing’s eyes widened, full of questions in his head.

A smile curled at the corner of Ye Feng’s mouth as he spoke indifferently, “Don’t understand? It’s called fusion. Now, this bead is named Wind Spirit Pearl. As for its grade… Eh, it’s actually Upper Grade!”

He hurriedly opened the introduction information.

[Wind Spirit Pearl: Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact]

[Introduction: A comprehensive multifunctional spiritual artifact containing three strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy, possesses functions such as wind halting, slaying, life-saving escape art, amplification and more. After consuming the Wind Element Spirit Energy, it takes six hours to fully recharge]

[Bound to: Ye Feng (Exclusive)]

After reviewing the information of the Wind Spirit Pearl, Ye Feng showed a look of astonishment.

Two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts plus a thousand Power of Faith had fused into an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact. While this wasn’t particularly surprising, what really startled Ye Feng were the three strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy contained within the Wind Spirit Pearl.

This was the real treasure!

“An Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact?” Long Tianxing’s eyes bulged with shock.

Spiritual artifacts are graded as Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and Supreme Grade, and are suitable for practitioners in the Qi Refining Realm, Element Gathering Realm, and Spirit Sea Realm, respectively.

Under normal circumstances, Supreme Grade spiritual artifacts are only qualified to be wielded by Spirit Sea Realm experts. The slightly inferior Upper Grades are strong as well, and many of the poorer Spirit Sea Realm users utilize Upper Grade spiritual artifacts.

And now, the Sect Leader actually possessed an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact!

The more Long Tianxing thought about it, the more shocked he felt.

“Now, let’s break through these agitated black sands, and by the way, slay the one pulling the strings,” Ye Feng said as he grabbed the Wind Spirit Pearl and gently activated it.

A unique wave of light spread outwards, causing all the sand to fall back to the ground and revealing the exit.

“What kind of power is this?”

From beneath the sand came a surprised and angry voice.

The next moment, countless black sands spread towards the sky, forming a giant a hundred feet tall with eyes like treasure beads, staring at Ye Feng and Long Yuanqing with uncertainty.

“Turns out it’s a Flowing Sand Monster. After slaying it, one can obtain Earth-rock Crystal, which is also one of the materials for crafting the Five Elements Spirit Sword,” Ye Feng said as he looked at the giant sand beast. In his left hand was the Wind Spirit Pearl and in his right, a Mini Banana Palm Fan—twenty fan movements in a second.

Rip!

The terrifying gale was like an invincible drill, easily piercing through the Flowing Sand Monster’s exterior, making it retreat dozens of meters. The sand around it kept sliding off, revealing its true form.

It was a rock giant about three meters tall, staring with two big eyes, a face full of shock.

“Damn, I’ve hit a snag!” The rock giant turned to flee, looking as if it was about to disappear into the endless flowing sand.

“You can’t get away!” Ye Feng threw the Wind Spirit Pearl.

A special wave of light burst forth from the Wind Spirit Pearl, and the rock giant was suddenly frozen in mid-air. Then, Ye Feng smashed the rock giant with a punch, turned into a ray of light, and condensed into an Earth-rock Crystal the size of a bowl.

“The Sect Leader is amazing!”

From beginning to end, Long Tianxing was completely dumbfounded, without any chance to intervene.

“Let’s go, we’ve already been delayed for over three days, we must find the remaining markers as soon as possible,” Ye Feng said as he pulled Long Tianxing and left the medium-sized Cave Heaven World.

Afterward, everything went smoothly for the pair.

Half a day had passed, and Ye Feng had consecutively broken through six Medium-Sized Cave Heaven Worlds but still hadn’t found the legendary Divine Island.

“I wonder how the others are doing.”

In front of a certain archway, Ye Feng crushed a Demi-transformed Demon Beast underfoot and, gazing at the skies of the Three Thousand Realms, fell into deep thought.

Elsewhere, the impatient Elder Long Er had just arrived at an archway.

“I’m still faster than the rest, having already reached the entrance to the thirteenth Cave Heaven World. I wonder if I can find Long Yuanqing.”

Elder Long Er took out a Moonshine Stone, ready to open the passage.

However, the archway remained unmoved.

“Why can’t I open it?”

Elder Long Er furrowed his brows and tried many times before he realized that the entrance to this Medium-Sized Cave Heaven World had been sealed from the inside, and the only people capable of this sealing technique were those, like him, holding the Moonshine Stone—Long Yuanqing and his group.

“I’ve found it!”

Elder Long Er was overjoyed and took out his Messenger Paper Crane. After imbuing it with Spiritual Energy, he released it into the air.

In front of an archway.

Elder Long San spotted the flying paper crane.

“The coordinates, outside North-West Village!”

Elder Long Er’s voice suddenly rang out.

“North-West Village?” Elder Long San immediately set off.

Before long, everyone, including Ye Feng, received the message. They quickly pulled out their maps, located the North-West Village marker, and sped towards it.

At the same time, within the Medium-Sized Cave Heaven World near North-West Village.

A dozen people surrounded a light shield, attacking it with all their might.

The person leading them had transformed into his Dragonfolk Form, exuding an extremely powerful aura, and bore some resemblance to Long Tianxing, albeit more mature and steady.

This person was none other than Long Yuanqing!

The others were members of the Dragonfolk Clan’s War Team. Some had arms transformed into dragon limbs or dragon tails sprouting from their backs, each emitting a formidable presence that was no less than that of the Element Gathering Realm.

“Captain, the Divine Race’s shield is too sturdy; we simply can’t break through,” said a young man with dragon horns on his head, speaking in a heavy tone.

“If we can’t break it, we still have to break it! Otherwise, once the Divine Race’s main forces arrive through the Teleportation Array, we’ll all be annihilated,” said Long Yuanqing, his face growing even darker.

“Sigh, we shouldn’t have sealed the entrance to this world in the first place.” The young man with dragon horns sighed and covered his face, lamenting, “Moreover, I haven’t even married yet. If I die like this, won’t my Middle Grade bloodline be cut short?”

“If we hadn’t sealed the entrance back then, the Divine Race’s vanguard would have already rushed through. Once they set up a Teleportation Array in the main world of the Three Thousand Realms, even the ancestral land of our Dragonfolk would be affected,” Long Yuanqing glared at the young man. “Besides, Long Feng, why didn’t you find yourself a partner before coming in?”

“Without a house or Spiritual Artifacts, who would have their eyes on me?” Long Feng sighed and then asked, “Captain, I heard you have a child, but why haven’t we ever seen them?”

“I don’t want my child to walk the same path I did, so I let her mother take her back to her parents’ house. By now, she should be over ten years old!” Speaking of this, Long Yuanqing’s face revealed a look of yearning.

A portly young man with a dragon tail teased, “The captain is of Supreme Grade Bloodline, the undisputed choice for Clan Leader. Surely your child must also be of Supreme Grade Bloodline, right?”

“I’m not sure, but at least an Upper Grade,” Long Yuanqing reverted from his Dragonfolk Form, revealing his true face.

He was a handsome young man with firm features, silver hair and blue eyes, carrying a long halberd on his back. Despite having his cultivation suppressed by the Three Thousand Realms, he still radiated the aura of the Element Gathering Realm at its first-layer peak.

Buzz!

A strange sound suddenly came from within the light shield that Long Yuanqing and his team had surrounded. Everyone looked intently and saw that the Teleportation Array inside the shield was lighting up—evidently, someone was about to come through.

“Not good! Break the light shield and destroy the Teleportation Array quickly. If the Divine Race’s experts arrive successfully, we’ll all die!” Long Yuanqing immediately entered his Dragon Transformation Form and, waving his claws, started tearing at the light shield.

Outside North-West Village.

Ye Feng, Long Tianxing, Long Jiu, and eight others gathered, looking at the sealed archway.

“This archway has been sealed from the inside by a formation of three Moonshine Stones. We will need at least five Moonshine Stones to set up a formation to unseal it from the outside,” explained Elder Long Er.

“Here’s my Moonshine Stone,” said one.

“And here is mine,” volunteered another.

Elders Long San, Long Si, and a few others handed over their Moonshine Stones.

“Thank you, brothers,” said Elder Long Er as he collected all five Moonshine Stones, crushed them, and mixed them with a special Spiritual Liquid to form a silver-white ink. He dipped his finger into it and began to draw on the archway, leaving behind entirely different array patterns.

“An Array Master?” Ye Feng was surprised.

Leaning in close to Ye Feng, Long Jiu whispered, “Indeed, Elder Long Er is our Dragonfolk Clan’s second-best Array Master, capable of setting up even Medium-Sized Formations.”

“That impressive?” Ye Feng was even more astonished.

A Mini Five Elements Continuous Array could block someone at the fourth layer of the Element Gathering Realm. If it were a Medium-Sized Formation, once fully activated, it could stop even an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm expert or outright eliminate them.

And yet Elder Long Er, who was only at the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Realm, could inscribe a Medium-Sized Formation, which was truly remarkable.

While the group worked to break the seal, inside the Medium-Sized Cave Heaven World, the light shield surrounding the Teleportation Array burst into a brilliant glow, and two figures gradually emerged from within, both bearing a shark-like mouth—members of the Divine Race, from the same kin as Han San and Han Er.

As they appeared, two mighty oppressive forces swept out, effortlessly dominating everyone present!
