Heavenly Dao

The next moment, Ye Chang'an appeared directly before Ye Xinran.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses.

Jin Xiaoya looked at Ye Xinran and Ye Chang'an, feeling as though her entire worldview had been overturned.

On the way here, Ye Xinran had said that her father was merely an ordinary person.

Yet that astonishing scene just now had left her heart unable to calm down for a long while.

An ordinary person? You called this an ordinary person? What ordinary person could kill a Great Sage Realm expert with a single word?

But she quickly understood that Ye Xinran had truly believed her father was an ordinary person.

Because she could see the obvious shock and confusion on Ye Xinran's face.

Looking at Ye Chang'an standing before her, Ye Xinran felt a trace of nervousness in her heart. "Father, this is...?"

Hearing this, Ye Chang'an smiled and vanished from the spot with Ye Xinran.

In the void.

Ye Xinran was brought before Shangguan Shi by Ye Chang'an.

"Xinran, in truth, Father is not an ordinary person. Also, Father is the Hall Master of the Primordial Divine Hall."

Ye Chang'an explained to Ye Xinran.

"The Primordial Divine Hall?"

"That's right. This is a disciple of the Primordial Divine Hall. The Primordial Divine Hall has five Elders and ten disciples in total. He is the tenth disciple."

Hearing this, Shangguan Shi smiled and greeted her.

"Young Temple Master, my name is Shangguan Shi. It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time. This is a small token of my regard; please do not disdain it."

As he spoke, an exquisite Storage Ring appeared before Ye Xinran.

Seeing this, Ye Xinran looked at Ye Chang'an questioningly.

Only after Ye Chang'an nodded did she accept the Storage Ring.

"Then thank you, Brother Shangguan."

"Right, Father, do you know where Mother is?"

Ye Xinran immediately asked.

"I do. She is currently doing something very important, and she will return once she has completed it. If you wish to see her before then, cultivate diligently. Once your realm is high enough, you will naturally be able to find her."

Ye Chang'an nodded.

"A very high realm..."

Having learned the answer, Ye Xinran's eyes filled with confidence and determination.

"Father, then what realm are you at now?"

Since they had mentioned realms, Ye Xinran grew curious as well.

"Father's realm is much higher than yours. I'll tell you once you catch up to Father."

Ye Chang'an said with a smile, his face unflushed and his heart untroubled.

"What about Brother Shangguan?"

Since Ye Chang'an would not tell her, she became curious about Shangguan Shi's realm instead.

After all, Shangguan Shi looked only a few years older than her. As someone determined to become the strongest genius, she naturally paid close attention to other geniuses, especially since Shangguan Shi came from the Primordial Divine Hall, one of only ten disciples. He had to be an extraordinary genius.

"Young Temple Master, I am at the Emperor Realm Peak."

Seeing Ye Xinran ask about him, Shangguan Shi answered without concealing anything.

Naturally, Ye Chang'an approved of this, and added, "Xinran, Little Ten is only seventeen this year."

Hearing the two of them, Ye Xinran froze where she stood.

What did I just hear? Emperor Realm Peak? Seventeen years old?

Wait, wasn't I supposed to be the strongest genius?

At that moment, even Ye Xinran, who had been brimming with confidence, felt her heart descend into chaos, unable to settle.

"Xinran, with the talent Father helped you awaken before, you won't be inferior to him in terms of talent. But you must not slack off either. Cultivate well. You can do it too."

As he spoke, Ye Chang'an handed Ye Xinran another Storage Ring.

As the Hall Master of the Primordial Divine Hall, he could naturally use the Primordial Divine Hall's resources as he pleased. These were resources Ye Chang'an had obtained through the system.

As for the matter of her talent, he had simply said that he had helped Ye Xinran awaken it.

Hearing this, Ye Xinran understood why her physique had suddenly awakened before.

"These are resources Father is giving you. Cultivate properly from now on. With Father behind you, you can do whatever you please. Remember, you also have an invincible backing."

After putting away the Storage Ring Ye Chang'an had given her, Ye Xinran's joy doubled.

At the same time, Ye Chang'an's words filled her heart with confidence.

"Xinran, a great age is about to arrive. This generation is filled with geniuses. Show them what a true genius is. The Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land is quite good."

"Mhm, Father, don't worry. I will sweep through eternity and suppress all those of my generation."

Ye Xinran was utterly confident about this.

Ye Chang'an was very satisfied upon hearing her words.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Chang'an sent Ye Xinran into the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land.

Once inside the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land, she would naturally take Xuanyuan Chen as her master.

But just as Ye Xinran was about to bow in ceremony, Xuanyuan Chen immediately stopped her.

His reason was that he was not qualified to be Ye Xinran's Master.

Since Ye Xinran wished to remain in the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land, Xuanyuan Chen broke new ground and established the position of Divine Maiden for her, equal in status to the Sect Master.

Above the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land.

"Hall Master, it's coming."

Shangguan Shi looked toward the heavens.

"Mhm. I only made one move, and this Heavenly Dao is taking it so seriously."

Looking at the thunderclouds gradually gathering overhead, Ye Chang'an wore a calm expression, as though he did not take them seriously at all.

Before long, thunderclouds blanketed the sky, and arcs of lightning, brimming with ferocious might, flickered in and out among the clouds.

Everyone throughout the Eastern Domain, including those in the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land, noticed the change in the heavens.

But they did not know what had caused it until they spotted Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi beneath the thunderclouds.

"Father?"

Seeing that terrifying pressure, Ye Xinran instinctively began to worry.

But she soon stopped worrying.

With a mere wave of Ye Chang'an's hand, a Sword Light shot straight into the sky. Wherever it passed, the void shattered, and in an instant, it scattered the thunderclouds.

After this strike, the thunderclouds dispersed, and the Heavenly Dao seemed to have... chickened out.

This scene entered the eyes of everyone in the Eastern Domain.

Everyone was stunned, including the people of the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land.

Even though they had already witnessed Ye Chang'an make a move, they were still deeply shaken.

That was because the vast thunderclouds just now contained an incomparably terrifying pressure. Even uninvolved people like them had found it difficult to move.

The higher one's realm, the more terrifying it felt.

This showed just how powerful the thunderclouds had been.

After witnessing this scene, Xuanyuan Chen turned to look at Ye Xinran, whose eyes were full of little stars, and muttered inwardly, Did I set the position of Divine Maiden too low? Should I just make her an old ancestor instead?

In the void.

Glancing at the bright sky, Ye Chang'an nodded with a smile. "Mhm, the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Human Realm is fairly sensible."

After speaking, the two vanished from the void.

What Ye Chang'an did not know was that, deep within the universe, inside a great hall, a middle-aged man with a majestic bearing and terrifying aura suddenly opened his eyes.

The instant he opened them, countless stars rose and fell in turmoil, while cracks spread through the void.

There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, along with some anger.

Just now, he had sensed that the Heavenly Dao of a small world had been injured. Though it was not seriously harmed, this was undoubtedly a provocation against them.

But strangely, he could not see who had done it.

This left him somewhat puzzled and even somewhat wary.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man made a decision. Without opening his mouth, a deep, resounding voice rang out. "Send someone to the lower realm, the Heavenly Desolation Continent, and investigate. Be careful. This matter is likely far from simple."
