Ye Chenfeng, Fan Qianrong, and Shen Tingyu wake up after their near-death experience, saved by the Emperor Tree which seemingly perished. Fan Qianrong retrieves the Dark Blood Scepter and decides to head to the Middle Realm. After a two-day journey on a Spirit Boat, they arrive at the Middle Realm Gate, an ancient plaza in the desert. Fan Qianrong uses a Passage Jade to open the gate, and they successfully transition to the Middle Realm, a place with denser spiritual energy and many cultivators.

The cultivators gathered outside the square all showed respectful expressions upon seeing Fan Qianrong.

After all, Fan Qianrong is one of the top alchemists in the Middle Realm.

These cultivators in the Middle Realm all know that Fan Qianrong has only one apprentice, Shen Tingyu, and his eccentric personality usually keeps only Shen Tingyu by his side. It was rather odd to them that Ye Chenfeng and Long Gaoyuan were suddenly accompanying him.

"Let’s first stay at Tingyu’s family for two days; her family is located within this Cultivator City." Fan Qianrong said to Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng naturally had no objections and followed Fan Qianrong as he walked out of the square with Long Gaoyuan.

This square seemed to be located right in the center of the Cultivator City.

Shen Tingyu whispered to Ye Chenfeng, "Normally, if someone or a sect migrates from the Lower Realm to the Middle Realm, they’ll be absorbed by the forces here. If you refuse to join, they might even destroy you."

"Therefore, the sects migrating from the Lower Realm generally find themselves attached to a power within the Middle Realm."

No wonder there were so many cultivators gathered around the square!

After leaving the square, Ye Chenfeng heard many cultivators around discussing his identity and that of Long Gaoyuan, along with debates on other matters.

This made Ye Chenfeng focus his attention immediately on listening, as he seemed to hear news about Old Bai and Old Hei.

Some cultivators were discussing:

"Previously, I wasn’t here. Were you there? I heard two people at mid Divine Emperor Realm came through the Middle Realm gate and refused all force’s invitations."

"Yes, that’s true. I was there that day, and I witnessed the event. Those two who came through the gate, one wore white clothes, and the other wore black. They’re indeed proud, but their combat capabilities backed it up. All those who attacked them eventually lost to them; their battle prowess was remarkable."

"You guys are discussing old news. I heard the man in white and the man in black are Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian, genius figures from the ancient top-five families, the Wus and the Jiangs."

"Are they the geniuses who once overshadowed the Hes’ Emperor? That’s impossible; they were said to have died long ago."

...

The Hes’ Emperor mentioned should be He Kongsheng from the Hes.

Ye Chenfeng could confirm the people mentioned were indeed Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian. It seems that after arriving in the Divine Origin Realm, Old Bai and Old Hei gained opportunities, breaking through to mid Divine Emperor Realm; otherwise, they couldn’t have reached the Middle Realm.

Evidently, they encountered something that delayed their return, but as long as they were safe, that mattered most.

Ye Chenfeng walked slowly, continuing to eavesdrop on the cultivator’s conversations.

"I don’t think those two could be the geniuses from back then, the Wus and the Jiangs. They’re just powerful. Many sects in the Middle Realm are searching for them; eventually, they’ll be caught, and their combat prowess won’t counter the joint force of so many sects."

"Exactly, those two are too arrogant; so many sects want to recruit them, but they refuse every single one. Do they really think they’re special? Their cultivation is only at mid Divine Emperor Realm."

...

Seeing Ye Chenfeng walking so slowly, Shen Tingyu remarked, "What are you dawdling for? Keep up; the Middle Realm is far more dangerous than you think."

Only then did Ye Chenfeng put aside his thoughts and catch up with Fan Qianrong alongside Long Gaoyuan.

The four quickly sped up.

After about twenty minutes of hurried travel, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Shen Mansion.

The Shen Mansion was extremely stately; just from this mansion, one could surmise that the Shen family ranked as a major family within the Middle Realm.

As the Shen Mansion’s young lady, the cultivators guarding the entrance naturally recognized Shen Tingyu. She led Ye Chenfeng and the others directly into the Shen Mansion, not disturbing her father or elder.

She arranged accommodation for Ye Chenfeng and Long Gaoyuan in the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion, and then left with Fan Qianrong.

Before leaving, she said, "Feel free to contact me if anything arises."

She handed Ye Chenfeng a messaging jade token, specifically for contacting her.

After Shen Tingyu and Fan Qianrong departed.

Ye Chenfeng sensed the courtyard, finding nothing peculiar.

While he sensed, some Qi inside him slightly released, surprising Long Gaoyuan: "Clan Leader, have you, have you broken through to the Initial Stage of Divine Emperor Realm?"

Ye Chenfeng calmed his aura, stabilizing it at the Heavenly God Realm, nodding, "Yes, I just broke through to the Initial Stage of Divine Emperor Realm at the Blood Origin Sect, and didn’t get a chance to tell you."

Ye Chenfeng is now the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan.

The Clan Leader’s strength advancement was a joy to Long Gaoyuan.

Then, Long Gaoyuan thought of something, "Clan Leader, you should also have practiced the Dragon God Overturning Seal; have you mastered all three seals?"

Ye Chenfeng said, "I can fully perform all three seals of the Dragon God Overturning Seal."

Long Gaoyuan proceeded, "Clan Leader, now that we’re in the Divine Origin Realm, the dangers we face will be immense. I know the Clan Leader’s combat power is strong, but having an absolutely powerful technique will be a great asset in crucial times."

"Although the Star Shifting Method is potent, activating it requires extended time."

"Legend says if you master all three seals of the Dragon God Overturning Seal, you can combine them into a fourth, extremely powerful seal."

"It’s said the fourth seal of the Dragon God Overturning Seal boasts devastation powers. I’ve never seen former Clan Leaders use it, nor do I know if they mastered it."

"However, the Dragon Clan has faith that the fourth seal of the Dragon God Overturning Seal exists."

"If Clan Leader truly masters the fourth seal, your combat power will surge."

For Ye Chenfeng, enhancing strength and combat power is crucial, especially having entered the Middle Realm, where he’ll soon face the Hes, leading to inevitable life-and-death battles.

Upon hearing Long Gaoyuan’s words, Ye Chenfeng grew intrigued, resolute in mastering the fourth seal of the Dragon God Overturning Seal, should it exist.
