The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: North Union Seven Divine Peaks, Xu Huamao’s Journey

North Union Seven Divine Peaks.

This was the name Ye Feng gave to the seven floating mountain peaks.

As for why he chose the name North Union instead of any other name, Ye Feng stated there was no particular reason; it was simply the will of heaven.

Perhaps, there was an unrivaled powerful figure in this world named “Emperor Beihe” who, at the critical moment, inspired Ye Feng through the power of heroic spirits.

Anyway, that was the name.

“North Union Seven Divine Peaks… sounds pretty good!”

Hu Feifei murmured softly.

Soon, Ye Feng landed on Misty Peak and issued a resonant voice, “Today, the establishment of the North Union Seven Divine Peaks is declared. These floating mountain peaks are key to the future development of our sect. Elders, stewards, and true disciples are all qualified to ascend the North Union Seven Divine Peaks and build their own mansions.”

The reason for this arrangement was not to create differentiation, but to ignite the disciples’ fighting spirit.

If the disciples found the North Union Seven Divine Peaks appealing, they would be motivated to cultivate harder and strive to ascend.

“Elders, stewards, true disciples?”

“Which means, one must at least have the cultivation level of Element Gathering Realm to be eligible to ascend the floating mountain peaks.”

The disciples started discussing.

Ye Feng paid no mind to the discussions of the disciples and walked over to the Spiritual Spring, looking at the colorful disc in the water.

This was a middle-grade spiritual artifact.

The Dividing Spirit Disk.

Its function was to transform one-third of the Spirit Spring Water into a mist containing dense spiritual energy and evenly distribute it into seven parts, directing it to the tops of the North Union Seven Divine Peaks.

Over time, the North Union Seven Divine Peaks would possess abundant spiritual energy and spiritual liquid, turning into a treasured land for cultivation.

“Sect Leader, may I build suspension bridges between the North Union Seven Divine Peaks and the other mountain peaks?” Shi Lei came to Misty Peak and asked Ye Feng.

“No need for now,” Ye Feng shook his head.

Those who could ascend the North Union Seven Divine Peaks had at least the cultivation of the Element Gathering Realm, with the ability to fly, making the construction of suspension bridges meaningless.

“Alright, then I’ll continue with the construction of the Spiritual Medicine Division Hall at the Shuiyang City Ruins.” Shi Lei, standing on his Qingfeng Sword, flew towards the Shuiyang City Ruins thousands of miles away.

Gong Qingqiu also went there.

Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan were making their way through the Cultivation Tower.

Having advanced to the Element Gathering Realm for some time and having completed a sect mission, they now aimed to tackle higher floors of the Cultivation Tower, preparing to become true disciples.

Huo Yunjie was also attempting the tower.

However, he discovered he couldn’t get past the upper-rank challenge of the fourth level of the combat zone.

“Sigh, I can only go out and gain experience,” Huo Yunjie felt somewhat helpless.

As he exited the Cultivation Tower, he happened to encounter Qiao Jiaxi and Long Tianxing coming towards him.

“Second Senior Brother, are you heading out?” The two of them realized something upon seeing Huo Yunjie.

“Yes,” Huo Yunjie nodded, “I’ve discovered I can’t break through the upper-rank challenge, so I’m planning to go outside for a while and improve my strength.”

Huo Yunjie recognized a problem.

His Sword Drawing Technique was strong, but to unleash formidable power, he needed to instantaneously release all his True Yuan in one strike, capable of killing a middle-rank demon general.

However, that left him with no strength for continued combat, leaving him vulnerable.

This was why he couldn’t pass the upper-rank difficulty challenge.

“Second Senior Brother, why not delve deeper into the cultivation of auxiliary techniques like the Water Radiance Technique and the Solidifying Element Technique?” Long Tianxing offered his suggestion.

“Yes!” Qiao Jiaxi also agreed.

“This…” Huo Yunjie hesitated.

He admitted that apart from reaching the top level of his Second Qi Sea, the progress in cultivating his other auxiliary methods wasn’t particularly high, which resulted in his foundation being far weaker than Mo Ying’s.

Nowadays, Mo Ying could be considered the most perfect among all the disciples.

Second Qi Sea Perfection, Solidifying Element Technique’s Second Layer Mastery, Nine Revolutions Heavenly God Technique’s third layer mastery, Water Radiance Technique’s third layer mastery.

In addition, she possessed the Swift Sword Intent.

Although Mo Ying was only at the third layer of the Element Gathering Realm, when she seriously unleashed her full power, she could stand toe-to-toe with a seasoned Sect Leader at the peak of the sixth layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

Her ultimate strike could even threaten those at the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

“Alright, I will first focus on my cultivation. After a while, I’ll continue with the tower. If I still can’t succeed, then I’ll go out, visit mountains and waters, and refine my temperament,” Huo Yunjie stated decisively.

Shortly after, he arrived at Misty Peak and found Ye Feng.

“Sect Master Uncle, your disciple would like to consult you about the problems I’ve encountered in the cultivation of those auxiliary methods and powerful spells like the Primordial Unity Qi,” said Huo Yunjie, bowing with respect.

For this old disciple who had once “saved” the Misty Sect, Ye Feng, of course, did not hesitate to start explaining.

With the guidance of Ye Feng, a Great Master of Magic himself, even with Huo Yunjie’s modest talent, his diligence allowed him to improve step by step.

…

At the southernmost edge of the Barren Desert.

Xu Huamao, a Half-Step Great Venerable of the Xu Family, touched his face with his hand and then sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

“Hiss, that really hurts!”

Xu Huamao grimaced.

Had it not been for being soundly beaten by Hu Feifei, how could he be in such excruciating pain?

Fortunately, Hu Feifei had not continued to strike.

Otherwise, I would definitely have met my end in County King City.

“This damn Commandery Prince, actually holding back and not making a move. Once I complete the mission and return to the clan, I must report this incident to the Clan Leader.”

Xu Huamao took out some ointment and, enduring the pain, applied it for a while until the swelling subsided. Then, he swiftly flew towards the capital of South Ming Country.

In an extravagant mansion.

Xu Huamao sat in the seat of honor.

On the ground stood an old man with a respectful demeanor, bowing with hands clasped, saying respectfully, “Rest assured, Xu Daoist friend, our Jade Pendant is intact. Before we enter the Barren Desert’s underground Secret Realm in half a year, we will inform you in advance.”

“Good, that’s reassuring!” Xu Huamao nodded.

Within the Secret Realm lay the Spirit Consolidating Fruit, which to him represented the best opportunity to ascend to the Divine Origin Realm.

Moreover, with only half a year to wait before entering, it was coming quickly.

He believed that he could become a Great Power in the Divine Origin Realm by the end of this year!

By then, across the entire Mystique Kingdom, he would be one of the formidable ones, a god-making ancestor, free and living joyfully.

“Alright, I will take my leave first. You all make preparations. When we enter the Secret Realm, with me there, no one else will possibly obtain the Spirit Consolidating Fruit.” Xu Huamao stood up, ready to leave.

“Xu Daoist friend, when the time comes, could you spare a piece of the Spirit Consolidating Fruit for this old man?” the old man asked in a low and humble voice.

Even though he was the ruler of the capital of South Ming Country, a peak-level powerhouse of the Spirit Sea Realm, in front of Xu Huamao, who had the support of the Xu Family, he was nothing.

“Don’t worry, I will give you a piece.”

Xu Huamao didn’t even glance at the ruler of South Ming Country’s capital, and with hands clasped behind his back, he walked away directly.

After his journey through South Ming Country, he felt he had gained much.

“Hah, Hu Feifei may have terrifying strength, but how many people like her could there be? In front of ordinary Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, I, Xu Huamao, am also a god-like existence!”

Xu Huamao held his head high, almost strutting with his nose in the air, very pleased with himself as he leisurely made his way back to the capital of Mystique Kingdom.

Misty Peak.

After several days of arduous cultivation, Huo Yunjie finally came out of closed-door training.

“Thank you for the guidance, Sect Master. This time I am sure to conquer the fourth layer of the Cultivation Tower.”

Huo Yunjie planted a flag.

A quarter of an hour later.

The fourth layer of the Cultivation Tower, the high-difficulty Combat Zone.

Huo Yunjie had diligently cultivated the “Water Radiance Technique” to the third layer, achieving Perfection, allowing him to multiply the power of his spell manifold.

Furthermore, his “Solidifying Element Technique” had also reached the Second Layer Mastery.

His combat strength had improved exponentially.

Suddenly, a middle-rank Demon General Level Crystal Spirit leaped out, waving its pale blue sharp claws, and pounced on Huo Yunjie.

“Hmph!”

Huo Yunjie maximized his combat strength and swung the Cold Light Sword in an instant.

Slash!

Several dazzling sword lights flashed by, and the middle-rank Demon General was vanquished. Huo Yunjie quickly ascended the platform and sliced open the crystal with a sword.

“Congratulations on passing the high-difficulty level. Your score is 1 point, and you have obtained the qualification to proceed to the fifth layer’s Illusionary Realm,” said a mechanical-like voice.

Huo Yunjie took a deep breath, thankful that he had succeeded. He promptly ascended to the fifth layer and, following the guidance, entered through the archway.

Afterward, he found himself in a large grassland.

This area was incredibly green.

If one stayed too long, it would give a disturbingly green sensation!

Huo Yunjie looked around, not understanding why he had entered such an Illusionary Realm and was quite shocked.

But before he could comprehend, he was sent out of the Illusionary Realm.

In front of him appeared a line of golden text.

[With no thought of women in your heart, your swordsmanship will naturally excel]

By the time Huo Yunjie finished reading this line, it had quickly disappeared as if it had never been there.

“How strange, why would it be the content of the first page of the “Nameless Sword Manual”?”

Huo Yunjie scratched his head.

He left the Cultivation Tower and found Ye Feng, recounting his experiences inside the tower. Then he asked, “Sect Master, what do you think about the scenes I saw? A vast green grassland—is that a symbol of prosperity and growth?”

Huo Yunjie was perplexed.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.

He used his daily wish to get a hat, personally placed it on Huo Yunjie’s head, and said:

“Yun Jie, wearing this hat, you shall be crowned as a king!”

This was a green straw hat with two horn-like decorations on it.

“Crowned as a king?” Huo Yunjie was shocked.

Only to hear Ye Feng look up at the sky and say, “It’s a pity that to wear a crown, one must bear its weight. Yun Jie, you must stand firm!”

With that, Ye Feng sighed softly.

“Sect Master Uncle, what has happened?”

Huo Yunjie was very puzzled. He had no idea what the Illusionary Realm he saw meant, and even the Sect Master showed such a solemn expression—and he had been given such a strange hat that was supposedly a crown.

It didn’t look like a crown, did it?
