Upper Ancient God Realm!
It refers to achieving divinity, gaining a divine position, and harnessing the power of faith.
This power of faith comes in many forms—some derive it from others’ belief, while others rely on self-belief, essentially believing in themselves. Most powerhouses take this path, known as self-ordained divinity!
This type of Upper Ancient God Realm is arguably the weakest. In truth, such so-called Upper Ancient Gods are merely self-proclaimed, hardly qualifying as true gods!
Ninth Young Master was formidable not only because he possessed numerous divine artifacts but also because he had the power of faith. As Ninth Young Master, he had his own fiefdom and world, where people continuously supplied him with faith, making him far stronger than typical Upper Ancient God Realm fighters.
However, this faith wasn’t pure!
And the number of believers wasn’t sufficient.
Many Upper Ancient God Realm fighters didn’t focus on this aspect, as obtaining pure faith was exceedingly difficult!
In Qin Guan’s words, the so-called gods today are fake, hollow, and illegitimately ordained.
Regarding the Upper Ancient God Realm, Qin Guan’s book, *The Canon of Divine Path*, explained it in detail: a god isn’t self-proclaimed but ordained by the masses. When countless beings believe in you, you become a true god. Only a god bolstered by pure faith is a true god!
Ye Xuan’s pupils suddenly contracted!
He realised something: how many people believed in Qin Guan?
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion spanned countless realms, and its members’ devotion to Qin Guan bordered on fanaticism, as she had transformed their lives! Moreover, Qin Guan had the Huaxia Academy…
The thought was chilling!
Qin Guan always said she didn’t cultivate. Did she mean she didn’t need to—others cultivated for her?
Ye Xuan’s lips twitched. It was entirely possible.
This rich woman was extraordinary!
Ye Xuan sighed softly.
The more he interacted with Qin Guan, the more terrifying she seemed!
It was this woman who made him realise that money could truly do anything. He didn’t know where she was off gallivanting now! Her clan was about to crush her Immortal Treasure Pavilion, yet she still hadn’t shown up, leaving him to face it alone!
He even suspected she was doing this on purpose!
Sigh!
Ye Xuan sighed softly, pushing thoughts of Qin Guan aside, and began to deeply sense the Upper Ancient God Realm!
Gradually, countless strands of Human Sword Intent and Human Power emerged around him.
Only now did Ye Xuan realise that his Human Sword Intent and Human Power were composed of faith!
The reason they kept growing stronger was the constant influx of people believing in him. He knew it must be tied to the academy, but not just the Guanxuan Academy. Qingqiu had gone to the Qingzhou region to develop lower-plane worlds, where martial civilisation was rudimentary, making it easy to influence.
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, gazing at the immensely powerful Human Sword Intent around him, and said softly, “From now on, I, Ye Xuan, will be a good person! I’ll make this world full of love, compassion, and harmony!”
He paused, then added, “If I turn my old man into a good person, wouldn’t that be boundless merit?”
The man in green: “…”
Ye Xuan chuckled, thinking he could use his second-generation status to benefit the entire universe!
He would become the king of this universe!
One day, if all beings in the universe believed in him, could he not surpass his old man?
He’d beat his head in!
Ye Xuan’s smile widened as a grand plan took shape in his mind.
Moments later, he closed his eyes, his aura gradually weakening. Soon, he dropped from Upper Ancient God Realm back to Ancient God Realm, but the next moment, his aura surged, breaking through to Upper Ancient God Realm again!
This time, he didn’t use the Great Dao Brush—he reached it solely with his Human Sword Intent and Human Power!
Upon reaching the Upper Ancient God Realm, his expression grew serious. This realm was far from simple. He recalled Qing’er saying every realm could be pushed to its limit! If he truly reached that limit…
Ye Xuan took a deep breath. He couldn’t aim too high now. The priority was stabilising this realm!
Moments later, he spread his hands, and countless strands of Human Sword Intent and Human Power surged from his body, swirling around him and growing stronger.
Time passed bit by bit.
In Immortal Treasure City, inside a grand hall.
Fu E and Xiao Lan’s expressions remained grave!
Over this period, they’d tried contacting Qin Guan daily, yet they still couldn’t reach her!
Without Qin Guan, they couldn’t feel at ease, knowing that clan would surely return.
Xiao Lan said gravely, “Brother Fu E, can’t you access a higher-level intelligence system?”
Fu E shook his head. “No!”
Xiao Lan sighed softly. “Without knowing that clan’s movements, we’re at a disadvantage!”
Fu E sighed as well.
Xiao Lan looked toward the distant horizon, eyes full of worry.
…
In an unknown starry sky, a man stood quietly, dressed in a splendid robe, with sharp brows and starry eyes, holding a jade fan. Behind him stood a grey-robed elder—Mu Zun, who had left earlier.
The man looked down at Immortal Treasure City, chuckling. “The Great Dao Brush… quite interesting!”
Mu Zun said gravely, “Third Young Master, don’t underestimate him!”
Third Young Master’s expression remained calm. “Of course. My ninth brother used the Chaos Black Fire and was still killed. How could I underestimate him?”
Mu Zun nodded. “That boy’s origins aren’t simple. His bloodline is powerful, and he has many divine artifacts, especially the Great Dao Brush and that divine armour. Even the Chaos Black Fire couldn’t harm that armour!”
Divine armour!
Third Young Master’s eyes narrowed.
Mu Zun nodded slightly. “That armour is truly terrifying. Now, with the Yuxiao Fan and Chaos Black Fire in Ye Xuan’s hands, dealing with him…”
He trailed off.
Third Young Master suddenly smiled. “Why should I deal with him?”
Mu Zun looked at him. Third Young Master said calmly, “My ninth brother’s faction knows he’s been killed. Will his mother let it go? Of course not. So, we’ll sit back and watch the tigers fight, then swoop in like the oriole, reaping the benefits.”
Mu Zun hesitated, glancing at Third Young Master, sighing inwardly but saying nothing.
He wanted to say that, given the situation, the clan shouldn’t keep infighting!
The clan was strong, but its internal conflicts were fierce!
Especially with the young masters vying for the heir position… they were no longer just rivals—they were enemies!
Mu Zun sighed inwardly, looking down at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion with worry.
He’d seen Ye Xuan before and knew this boy was far from ordinary. There must be a formidable force behind him.
But neither Ninth nor Third Young Master cared!
He knew the clan still hadn’t truly taken Ye Xuan or the Immortal Treasure Pavilion seriously.
Mu Zun sighed again.
At that moment, Third Young Master turned to the horizon, his lips curving. “That woman’s here!”
Mu Zun looked over. At the edge of the starry sky, waves of terrifying pressure swept in.
Below, in the hall, Fu E and Xiao Lan suddenly looked up, their faces turning grim.
They’re back!
Moments later, a beautiful woman appeared above Immortal Treasure City, dressed in palace robes, her hair pinned high, her face cold as ice.
Behind her stood nine powerhouses, all above the Upper Ancient God Realm! One was Ninth Young Master’s third uncle, who had fled earlier.
The woman suddenly roared, “Ye Xuan, get out here!”
Boom!
A terrifying pressure cascaded down on Immortal Treasure City!
Instantly, the entire city was in shock!
At that moment, a sword intent shot into the sky from the city, shattering the pressure in an instant!
The next moment, a sword beam landed not far from the woman. As it dissipated, Ye Xuan appeared before her and her group.
The woman glared at him. “You killed my son?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Her face twisted with rage. “Who gave you the gall?”
As her voice fell, she slapped out.
Boom!
The visible space in the field collapsed instantly.
In the distance, Ye Xuan stood unmoving.
Boom!
The terrifying force struck him, obliterating the spacetime around him, but Ye Xuan was unscathed.
Seeing this, the woman’s eyes narrowed. “You…”
Ye Xuan dusted his sleeve and said, “Your son tried to kill me first!”
She glared at him. “Do you know he’s the clan leader’s son?”
Ye Xuan frowned. “So what? Does being from the clan make him superior?”
The woman’s right hand clenched slowly as she walked toward Ye Xuan. “I’ll kill everyone close to you. I’ll make you watch them die before you, so you can feel the pain of losing a son!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I don’t have a son!”
Her voice turned ferocious. “Then you have a father, don’t you?”
Ye Xuan nodded quickly. “I do!”
She roared, “Then you’ll feel the pain of losing a father!”
As her voice fell, she vanished from the spot.
In the distance, Ye Xuan was speechless.
The pain of losing a father!
He had to admit, he was kind of curious to experience it…
It sounded thrilling!
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle.
