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!"

This morning, Chu Feng remained sunk in profound slumber until a sharp cry jolted him awake from his visions.

What?

Chu Feng rose up in a daze, 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 formed—they deserved the title of Divine Kings.

Divine Kings shattering a continent with their might came as no shock. After straightening his appearance, he strolled leisurely to the entrance.

The instant he emerged, Chu Feng spotted his disciples gathered in the yard, their countenances etched with alarm and disquiet.

Witnessing such looks on his disciples' faces, Chu Feng's expression grew grave at once. He uttered icily, "Have you all forgotten what I have taught you on ordinary days?"

These words left everyone there dumbfounded. No one had anticipated that amid such crisis, their Master would ignore worldly affairs to reprimand them instead.

This rendered the group rather powerless, several showing signs of hesitation in voicing their minds.

How could Chu Feng fail to perceive these youngsters' inner turmoil? He remarked calmly, "Don't hold it in—say everything you want to say. I'd like to hear what thoughts you all have."

Ji Jiuwu declared, "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 shone with imposing dignity, a sternness no one there had seen before. Why was Master so furious this day?

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

"Hmph!"

Chu Feng huffed coldly, his visage utterly solemn as he stated, "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 these words landed, silence enveloped the whole chamber. Each disciple bowed their head, acknowledging their error.

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

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

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

Everyone chorused 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."

Chu Feng concluded and headed to the Heaven-Viewing Mirror's spot. His disciples trailed him like obedient pupils after wrongdoing, none venturing a word.

Shortly after, Chu Feng guided his disciples to the Heaven-Viewing Mirror. What met their eyes was a continent ripped apart into four segments.

The Three Ancestors had demolished the full Hongyuan Continent into four parts. The segment holding the Wendao Sect proved the biggest, whereas the land of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans was a bit lesser.

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 certain continent. Its wounds ran deep—it required time to heal.

He next checked the positions of the other two Ancestors and saw their damages matched the Dragon Ancestor's.

Upon reviewing them, Chu Feng whispered, "The Three Ancestors battled for seven years, and all carry severe wounds. If they still seek dominance over the Hongyuan Continent, they ought to pause for recovery. Should that occur, the Hongyuan Continent might savor some tranquility."

Upon hearing this, the disciples there displayed signs of ease.

Noticing that, Chu Feng warned, "You're relaxing too early. Even if the Three Ancestors don't act personally, the demon gods serving them won't halt. It seems they intend to turn our continent into their warground."

"Then will our continent never know peace?"

Ji Jiuwu's fists gripped tight. He certainly didn't wish his birthplace mired in perpetual conflict—that would merely scatter the frail human race.

"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 voiced first, fists balled and gaze 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."

At present, Ji Jiuwu had entered Harmonization Realm. Reaching Saint in sixty years wasn't impossible.

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

Jiang Yan voiced 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."

Across these years, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian had triumphed in fending off demon gods. Their grasp of the Great Dao now topped three hundred each—regular demon gods couldn't match them.

Even facing foes beyond their strength, each bore the sword jade from Chu Feng.

At this, the pair eased and reflected inwardly: I must cultivate diligently.

...

In a flash, three years elapsed. During these three years, battles across the Hongyuan Continent raged without pause.

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

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

Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian felled demon gods anew, teaming up to repel hordes of demon gods, instilling dread in the three clans. Human cultivators revered these spots as sacred lands.

With the two sacred lands guarding the front, the three clans redirected assaults to the domains of the hundred other clans, tormenting the creatures there.

Beyond Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian gaining worldwide fame, the Wendao Sect's disciples pushed their cultivation tirelessly.

Ji Jiuwu's progress reached Harmonization Realm Layer 1 with Natural Truth 10. Jiang Yan hit Harmonization Realm Layer 1 with Green Wood Truth 10. Once the pair advanced to Harmonization Realm and seized Great Dao Truth, Chu Feng granted Great Dao Pills, letting each gain 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 reached Great Perfection of True Intent, just awaiting the leap to grasp Great Dao Truth.

Chu Feng felt deeply pleased with his disciples' progress, particularly Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian. The first's Great Dao Truth now 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 too. Qin Qin had freshly entered Semi-Saint Realm with Destruction Truth 14. Wang Baole lingered at Nirvana Layer 9 with Devouring Truth 6.

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

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

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

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

Naturally, Chu Feng had advanced considerably himself. After eyeing his disciples' levels, he unveiled his attribute panel for a glance.

Chu Feng muttered to himself before pulling back from the attribute panel. He rose and moved toward the exit. After just a few strides, he caught sight of Ji Jiuwu approaching the main hall.

"Disciple pays respect to Master."

Ji Jiuwu bowed deeply 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 deferentially, "Master, the Three Ancestors have appeared in the Central Continent."
