Chapter 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!"
On this morning, Chu Feng was still in deep sleep when an exclamation roused him from his dreams.
What?
Chu Feng sat up groggily, his first reaction being that he must have misheard. But soon he realized that the Three Ancestors' strength had already surpassed that of ordinary Saints, and they had condensed their divinity—they could rightfully be called Divine Kings.
It was not surprising that Divine Kings could crack open a continent with their power. After tidying himself up, he unhurriedly walked toward the door.
As soon as he stepped outside, Chu Feng saw all his disciples standing in the courtyard, their faces still bearing expressions of panic and unease.
Seeing his disciples reveal such expressions, Chu Feng's face immediately turned serious. He said coldly, "Have you all forgotten what I have taught you on ordinary days?"
At these words, everyone present was stunned. None of them expected that at a time like this, their Master would not concern himself with matters of the world, but instead scold them.
This left everyone quite helpless, with several wearing expressions of wanting to speak but holding back.
How could Chu Feng not see what these little ones were thinking? He said indifferently, "Don't hold it in—say everything you want to say. I'd like to hear what thoughts you all have."
Ji Jiuwu said, "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 eyes revealed a majestic gaze, a severity none present had ever witnessed before. Why was Master so angry today?
Jiang Yan said respectfully, "We are foolish. We ask Master to point out our shortcomings."
"Hmph!"
Chu Feng snorted coldly, his expression extremely serious as he said, "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?"
After these words fell, the entire hall fell silent. Every disciple lowered their head, each realizing their mistake.
They also realized that the Three Ancestors' great battle had damaged their Dao hearts. If Master hadn't loudly rebuked them, their Dao hearts might have collapsed entirely. In the future, if they encountered super-powerful beings like the Three Ancestors, they feared they wouldn't even be able to summon the thought of opposing them.
To feel fear before even fighting—this was a great taboo for cultivators.
"We were wrong. Please, Master, punish us."
Everyone spoke in unison.
"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."
Chu Feng finished speaking and walked toward where the Heaven-Viewing Mirror was located. His disciples followed behind him like well-behaved students who had made mistakes, none daring to speak.
Moments later, Chu Feng led his disciples to the Heaven-Viewing Mirror. What came into view was a continent torn into four pieces.
The Three Ancestors had shattered the entire Hongyuan Continent into four pieces. The piece where the Wendao Sect was located was the largest, while the continent where the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans resided was slightly smaller.
The Three Ancestors' figures had disappeared from the Heaven-Viewing Mirror. Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and activated the mirror before him. Soon he discovered the injured Dragon Ancestor on one of the continents. Its injuries were not light—it would need some time to recover.
He then glanced at where the other two Ancestors were located and found that their injuries were comparable to the Dragon Ancestor's.
After examining them, Chu Feng murmured, "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."
Hearing this, the disciples present all showed expressions of relief.
Seeing this, Chu Feng said, "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 hands were tightly clenched into fists. Naturally, he didn't want to see his homeland plunged into endless warfare—that would only cause the weak human race to become displaced.
"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 said indifferently.
"We will work hard on our cultivation."
Ji Jiuwu was the first to speak, his fists clenched and his eyes filled with determination.
Chu Feng smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Having such thoughts is good. If you can become a Saint within sixty years, you'll be able to accomplish this."
Now Ji Jiuwu had already stepped into the Harmonization Realm. Becoming a Saint within sixty years was not an unattainable goal.
Ji Jiuwu nodded and said, "Master, I will work hard."
Jiang Yan said with some concern, "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 smiled and said, "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."
Over these years, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian had both achieved victories in suppressing demon gods. Now their comprehension of the Great Dao had both exceeded three hundred—ordinary demon gods would not be their opponents.
Even if they encountered enemies they couldn't defeat, they both carried the sword jade Chu Feng had left for them.
Hearing this, the two felt relieved and thought to themselves: I must cultivate well.
...
In the blink of an eye, three years passed. In these three years, the warfare on the Hongyuan Continent never ceased.
Three years ago, in that great battle, the Three Ancestors cracked the Hongyuan Continent. Since then, the Hongyuan Continent was divided into four great continents: Central Continent, Dragon Continent, Phoenix Continent, and Qilin Continent.
In these three years, the warfare on the Central Continent also made the Nameless Sword Sacred Land and the Tyrant Fist Sacred Land famous throughout the Central Continent.
Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian once again slew demon gods, joining forces to drive back groups of demon gods, causing the three clans to fear them. Human cultivators enshrined these two places as sacred lands.
With the two sacred lands holding the line, the three clans' targets shifted to the territories of the hundred other clans, making life miserable for the beings of the hundred clans.
Besides Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian becoming famous throughout the world, the disciples of the Wendao Sect were also working hard on their cultivation.
Ji Jiuwu's cultivation was at Harmonization Realm Layer 1 with Natural Truth 10. Jiang Yan was at Harmonization Realm Layer 1 with Green Wood Truth 10. After the two broke through to the Harmonization Realm and comprehended the Great Dao Truth, Chu Feng bestowed them with Great Dao Pills, allowing each to comprehend 9 additional Great Dao Truths.
As for the remaining disciples: Lu Ming was at Spirit Nourishing Layer 9, Chu Yan was at Spirit Nourishing Layer 9, Yun He was at Spirit Nourishing Layer 7, Qing Song was at Spirit Nourishing Layer 3, and Mo Yi was at Spirit Nourishing Layer 3. Each of them had achieved Great Perfection of True Intent, only lacking a breakthrough to comprehend the Great Dao Truth.
Chu Feng was very satisfied with his disciples' cultivation results, especially Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian. The former's Great Dao Truth was now at 470, far from the 999 needed to become a Saint. The latter was at 450. With another ten or twenty years of effort, both could become Saints. At that time, his lineage would have three Saints in one generation.
Though he was on the Hongyuan Continent, he also kept watch over the disciples on Miaomiao Mountain. Qin Qin had just broken through to Semi-Saint Realm with Destruction Truth 14. Wang Baole was at Nirvana Layer 9 with Devouring Truth 6.
Ye Beixuan was at Nirvana Layer 9 with Hongmeng Truth 8. Xu Caichen was at Nirvana Layer 3 with Great Dao Truth 4. Han Ping was at Nirvana Layer 1 with Great Dao Truth 3. Chu Caiyi, after breaking through to Nirvana Layer 1, had also comprehended 5 Chaos Truths. Fang Mu was at Harmonization Realm Layer 9 with Undying Truth 1.
Additionally, Nie Xiuyuan had also broken through to the Semi-Saint Realm, with Carefree Truth at 12.
Among the two little girls, Chen Qianqian was at Harmonization Layer 9, having comprehended Yin-Yang Truth 1, while Bai Qian was at Harmonization Layer 9 with 3 Heavenly Star Truths. The youngest disciple, Shi Xuan was at Harmonization Layer 9 with 3 Great Dao Truths.
As for his two precious 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.
Of course, Chu Feng had also gained much. After scanning his disciples' cultivation levels, he opened his attribute panel to take a look.

"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 murmured to himself before withdrawing his consciousness from the attribute panel. He then stood up and walked toward the door. Before taking more than a few steps, he saw Ji Jiuwu walking toward the main hall.
"Disciple pays respect to Master."
Ji Jiuwu bowed respectfully to Chu Feng.
Looking at this disciple who was growing more mature by the day, his face shedding its youthful innocence and gaining more determination, Chu Feng asked, "What brings you to find me?"
Ji Jiuwu said respectfully, "Master, the Three Ancestors have appeared in the Central Continent."
