Chapter 2038: Chapter 903: All the Realm Venerables, Cangyun Divine Sea

Ancestral God Star, near the Nangong Clan, atop a rather unremarkable God Mountain, Han Yi received a divine thought transmission from the Lord of Taichu. He quickly rose and made his way to the Taichu Clan Territory.

When he arrived and stepped into the Ancestral Temple, he saw twenty-seven Divine Clan Practitioners standing within.

Among these twenty-seven practitioners, the foremost was the Lord of Taichu. Below him were four Taichu Ancient Seat holders, and beneath them stood twenty-two Taichu Elders.

Han Yi did not see Great Elder Taichu Qinglian, but he was not surprised. Given the Great Elder’s special status, he mostly stayed within the Taichu Pavilion and rarely ventured out, let alone participated in boundary battles.

Han Yi had met three of these Ancient Seat holders before — Dongfang Xiao, Dongfang Hong, and Dongfang Hao.

Although it was his first time seeing the fourth one, he was not unfamiliar with her, and surprisingly, this Ancient Seat holder was a female Divine Sovereign.

Her name was Dongfang Hongye.

Upon seeing Han Yi, Dongfang Hongye’s eyes brightened slightly, and a hint of battle intent flashed across them.

Han Yi caught this hint of battle intent and was not surprised. Upon reaching the peak Divine Sovereign level, it was natural to have a competitive spirit. He had also sensed battle intent from Dongfang Hao before.

The other twenty-two Elders of the Taichu Hall were all high-level Divine Sovereigns.

Among them, Han Yi spotted Dongfang Lie, also known as Saintly Fierce Venerable. Though he was unfamiliar with the other twenty-one, he could discern their identities and general statuses based on their appearances.

Seeing Han Yi appear, these high-level Divine Sovereigns’ gazes flickered with curiosity.

They were quite curious about this suddenly appearing Taichu Ancient Seat holder. However, knowing that anyone who could become an Ancient Seat holder must have reached peak Divine Sovereign level with formidable combat power, they remained curious but did not show much battle intent.

After arriving, Han Yi bowed deeply towards the Taichu Elders, greeting, "Greetings, Clan Leader."

Then, he turned to the other Divine Sovereigns, greeting them, "Greetings, Elders."

The Elders returned the greeting.

Seeing Han Yi arrive, the Lord of Taichu nodded and spoke in a loud voice:

"With the start of this boundary battle, the batch of cultivators from the Dao God Sect will be replaced. Our Ancestral God Star’s Ten Great Divine Clans, along with high-level venerable cultivators from the Origin, Fu Heng, Heavenly Destiny, and Primordial Demon regions, will head to the Cangyun Divine Sea."

"The boundary battle will last one hundred thousand years. After one hundred thousand years, you will be allowed to return."

"Of course, there are two conditions under which you may return to the Tao Spirit. One is to achieve significant merit, permitting an early return. The other is sensing an imminent breakthrough to Realm Venerate, allowing return to the Tao Spirit for the breakthrough."

"..."

The Lord of Taichu explained the boundary battle situation. Most of the Divine Sovereigns present were already informed and were not surprised. However, from their expressions, it was clear they were still quite serious. After all, participating in boundary battles required at least high-level venerable status, making such battlefields extraordinarily dangerous.

A moment later.

The Lord of Taichu gently waved his hand, and the space within the Ancestral Temple shifted. As it stabilized, they found themselves outside the Ancestral God Star, with divine shields emitting a faint glow around them. Beyond the divine shields lay the vast expanse of the Ancestral God Star.

Nearby the Taichu Divine Clan practitioners, other Divine Clan practitioners were already waiting, divided into three groups.

"In front of us is the Origin Divine Race, the most powerful among the Ten Great Divine Clans. The Ancestral God was born from the Origin Divine Race," Dongfang Xiao explained beside Han Yi.

He pointed to the other two directions, saying, "To the left are the Heavenly People and to the right are the Xuanhuang."

"The Heavenly People Clan is slightly weaker than our Taichu, while the Xuanhuang Clan is even weaker."

Han Yi followed the explanation, noticing that the Origin Divine Race had thirty-three members, slightly more than the Taichu Divine Clan. Both the Heavenly People Clan and the Xuanhuang Clan had around twenty members, slightly fewer than the Taichu.

He came to understand that the number of Divine Sovereigns dispatched for the boundary battle somewhat reflected the strength of each tribe.

"Brother, how many half-step transcendence-level Realm Venerates does the Ancestral God Star’s Ten Great Divine Clans currently have?"

"There are five known ones."

"Five?"

Han Yi felt a slight shock internally.

Previously, he had heard there were three half-step transcendents on the Ancestral God Star, specifically the Clan Leaders of the top three clans: Origin, Taishi, and Taichu.

He had once seen the Clan Leader of the Taishi Divine Race. At that time, when the Master of Primordial Demon had fallen into a demon, it was the Lord of Taishi who had driven him away.

"Yes, five. Among them, two are in the Origin Divine Race, and another is in the Yellow Spring Divine Race."

"However, it is said that the half-step transcendent of the Yellow Spring Divine Race fought beyond the realm when he was still a high-level Divine Sovereign. After his ascension to half-step transcendence, he was protected by a Transcendent Realm Venerate, so his ascension was not detected."

"Since then, he has always been beyond the realm and never returned. No one knows his true identity."

"Even the Clan Leader is unaware of this Yellow Springs Realm Venerate’s real name."

Thoughts surged within Han Yi. For a Transcendent Realm Venerate to hide and protect his aura, the Yellow Springs Realm Venerate surely harbored secrets and was likely carrying out a special mission beyond the realm.

Han Yi silently noted this.

Dongfang Xiao continued, "The Origin Divine Race has retained its orthodox status on the Ancestral God Star because, besides the Ancestral God, the tribe has two half-step transcendents. Among them, one is said to be near the top of the Eternal Pillar, making him the most powerful below the Transcendent Realm Venerate in the Taoist Spirit Chaos Realm."
