I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 651 651: Master, the Continent Has Been Cracked Open by the Three Ancestors

"Master, something terrible has happened! The Three Ancestors have cracked the continent open!"

That morning, Chu Feng remained immersed in slumber until a sharp cry jolted him awake from his rest.

What?

Chu Feng rose slowly, still foggy-headed, his initial thought that he'd caught the words wrong. Yet quickly, he recalled how the Three Ancestors' power had long outstripped typical Saints, with their divinity now formed—they truly deserved the title of Divine Kings.

Divine Kings shattering a continent with their might came as no shock. After freshening up, he strolled calmly to the entrance.

The moment he emerged, Chu Feng spotted his disciples gathered in the yard, their features etched with lingering alarm and worry.

Witnessing such looks on his disciples' faces, Chu Feng's expression grew grave at once. In a stern tone, he declared, "Have you all forgotten what I have taught you on ordinary days?"

His statement left the group frozen in place. No one had anticipated that amid such crisis, their Master would ignore worldly chaos and reprimand them instead.

This rendered everyone somewhat powerless, a few showing signs of hesitation, words on the tip of their tongues.

How could Chu Feng miss the thoughts swirling in these young minds? With calm detachment, he remarked, "Don't hold it in—say everything you want to say. I'd like to hear what thoughts you all have."

Ji Jiuwu responded, "Master, now that the Hongyuan Continent is suffering, to use your words—'when the nest overturns, no egg remains unbroken.' We cannot just sit and wait for doom."

"You make a good point, but you haven't realized where you went wrong."

Chu Feng's gaze sharpened with an imposing intensity, a sternness the assembly had never seen before. Why was Master so furious this day?

Jiang Yan spoke with deference, "We are foolish. We ask Master to point out our shortcomings."

"Hmph!"

Chu Feng let out a cold huff, his face set in utmost gravity as he continued, "How many times have I told you—no matter what you encounter, you must not panic, and you must never let your Dao hearts waver. But look at yourselves now—each of you so frightened that your Dao hearts are unsteady. In this state, what right do you have to walk the path to the end of the Great Dao? What right do you have to discuss matters of the world?"

Once his words landed, silence enveloped the hall. All disciples bowed their heads, each acknowledging their error.

They grasped too that the Three Ancestors' fierce clash had shaken their Dao hearts. Without Master's sharp rebuke, those hearts might have shattered completely. Down the line, facing foes as mighty as the Three Ancestors, they might lack even the will to resist.

To cower before battle—this stood as a severe prohibition for cultivators.

"We were wrong. Please, Master, punish us."

The group voiced together.

"Starting tomorrow, each of you will read the Dao Scripture once more. I will check on the first and fifteenth of every month. Now come with me to see the results of the Three Ancestors' battle."

With that, Chu Feng headed to the Heaven-Viewing Mirror's spot. His disciples trailed after like chastened pupils, silent and obedient.

Shortly after, Chu Feng brought his disciples before the Heaven-Viewing Mirror. The sight revealed a continent ripped apart into four segments.

The Three Ancestors had smashed the full Hongyuan Continent into four parts. The section holding the Wendao Sect stood as the biggest, whereas the land of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans measured a bit less.

The Three Ancestors' forms had vanished from the Heaven-Viewing Mirror. Chu Feng squinted and triggered the device ahead. Before long, he located the wounded Dragon Ancestor on a fragment. Its wounds ran deep—it required time to heal.

He shifted his view to the positions of the other two Ancestors and noted their damages matched the Dragon Ancestor's in severity.

Having surveyed them, Chu Feng muttered, "The Three Ancestors fought for seven years, and all bear heavy injuries. If they still want to contend for hegemony over the Hongyuan Continent, they should rest and recuperate. If that happens, the Hongyuan Continent might enjoy a period of peace."

At this, the disciples on hand displayed signs of ease.

Noticing that, Chu Feng warned, "You're relaxing too early. Even if the Three Ancestors don't make a move themselves, the demon gods under their command won't stop. From the looks of it, they plan to make the continent we're on their battlefield."

"Then will our continent never know peace?"

Ji Jiuwu's fists gripped tight. He certainly didn't wish his homeland sunk in perpetual conflict—that would leave the fragile human race scattered and lost.

"Of course not. But you must become stronger. One day, you will need to purge the three clans from this continent and drive them out." Chu Feng stated flatly.

"We will work hard on our cultivation."

Ji Jiuwu spoke first, fists balled and eyes burning with resolve.

Chu Feng grinned and clapped his shoulder, adding, "Having such thoughts is good. If you can become a Saint within sixty years, you'll be able to accomplish this."

Ji Jiuwu had now entered Harmonization Realm Layer 1. Reaching Saint in sixty years lay within reach.

Ji Jiuwu nodded and affirmed, "Master, I will work hard."

Jiang Yan voiced some worry, "But Master, if you don't take action, the demon gods of the three clans can still sweep across the entire continent. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait sixty years."

Chu Feng chuckled and replied, "Your two senior brothers have now established two sacred lands for human cultivation. With them holding the fort, those dragon gods and demon gods won't be able to cause much trouble."

In recent years, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian had triumphed over demon gods time and again. Their grasp of the Great Dao now topped three hundred each—regular demon gods couldn't match them.

Should they face unbeatable adversaries, both held the sword jade from Chu Feng.

Upon hearing this, the pair eased up and resolved inwardly: I must cultivate well.

...

Time flew by, and three years elapsed. Throughout those three years, battles across the Hongyuan Continent raged without pause.

Three years prior, during that epic clash, the Three Ancestors had fractured the Hongyuan Continent. From then on, it split into four major lands: Central Continent, Dragon Continent, Phoenix Continent, and Qilin Continent.

Over these three years, the conflicts on the Central Continent elevated the Nameless Sword Sacred Land and the Tyrant Fist Sacred Land to renown across the region.

Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian struck down demon gods once more, teaming up to repel hordes of them, instilling dread in the three clans. Human cultivators hailed these spots as sacred lands.

Thanks to the two sacred lands' defense, the three clans turned their assaults to the domains of the hundred other clans, tormenting those races' inhabitants.

Beyond Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian's widespread fame, the Wendao Sect's disciples pushed diligently in their cultivation.

Ji Jiuwu's level sat at Harmonization Realm Layer 1 with Natural Truth 10. Jiang Yan reached Harmonization Realm Layer 1 with Green Wood Truth 10. Upon entering Harmonization Realm and grasping Great Dao Truth, Chu Feng granted them Great Dao Pills, granting each 9 more Great Dao Truths.

For the other disciples: Lu Ming stood at Spirit Nourishing Layer 9, Chu Yan at Spirit Nourishing Layer 9, Yun He at Spirit Nourishing Layer 7, Qing Song at Spirit Nourishing Layer 3, and Mo Yi at Spirit Nourishing Layer 3. All had attained Great Perfection of True Intent, needing only the step to Great Dao Truth.

Chu Feng felt deep contentment with his disciples' progress, particularly Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian. The first's Great Dao Truth hit 470, shy of the 999 for Saint. The second reached 450. With ten or twenty more years, both could ascend to Saints. Then, his line would boast three Saints in a single era.

Though based on the Hongyuan Continent, he monitored the Miaomiao Mountain pupils as well. Qin Qin had freshly advanced to Semi-Saint Realm with Destruction Truth 14. Wang Baole lingered at Nirvana Layer 9 with Devouring Truth 6.

Ye Beixuan held Nirvana Layer 9 with Hongmeng Truth 8. Xu Caichen was at Nirvana Layer 3 with Great Dao Truth 4. Han Ping sat at Nirvana Layer 1 with Great Dao Truth 3. Chu Caiyi, post-breakthrough to Nirvana Layer 1, had seized 5 Chaos Truths. Fang Mu rested at Harmonization Realm Layer 9 with Undying Truth 1.

Moreover, Nie Xiuyuan had ascended to Semi-Saint Realm, his Carefree Truth at 12.

Among the two young girls, Chen Qianqian was at Harmonization Layer 9, grasping Yin-Yang Truth 1, while Bai Qian was at Harmonization Layer 9 with 3 Heavenly Star Truths. The littlest disciple, Shi Xuan, was at Harmonization Layer 9 with 3 Great Dao Truths.

As for his two cherished daughters: Chu Yuzhi was at Spirit Nourishing Layer 1 with Sword Intent at Great Perfection, and Chu Yingjin was at Spirit Nourishing Layer 1 with Yin-Yang True Intent at Great Perfection.

Naturally, Chu Feng had advanced greatly too. After reviewing his disciples' levels, he pulled up his attribute panel for a glance.

"I didn't expect that after my Dao Presence exceeded 99, my lifespan would become one hundred million. I wonder what my lifespan will become after I achieve Divine King status?"

Chu Feng whispered to himself before pulling back from the attribute panel. He rose and moved to the door. After just a few strides, he spotted Ji Jiuwu approaching the main hall.

"Disciple pays respect to Master."

Ji Jiuwu offered a deep bow to Chu Feng.

Observing this disciple maturing steadily, his features losing boyish softness for firmer resolve, Chu Feng inquired, "What brings you to find me?"

Ji Jiuwu replied with respect, "Master, the Three Ancestors have appeared in the Central Continent."
