"Let me give it a try."
An Advanced Demigod stepped forward, and with a flicker of his figure, arrived at the world's exit. Vast amounts of energy surged out from within his body.
The Advanced Demigod strode boldly towards the world's exit.
Boom...
A powerful sealing force surged towards him, causing the Advanced Demigod to pause and lock in a stalemate for a moment. Then, to everyone's pleasant surprise, he took another step and walked out.
"Indeed! The sealing energy has already grown very weak; we can get out now!"
Seeing that Advanced Demigod leave, the crowd became excited.
Soon, more people rushed towards the world exit.
Those with higher strength went out first, leaving this world. Those with weaker strength tried several times before they too left this world one after another.
Following right behind that Advanced Demigod, Ye Yunfei, along with Meng Wu, Lu Jun, and Li Ming, walked out in quick succession, arriving in the Chaotic Void of the Gudao World Cluster.
"The battle has indeed ended."
Ye Yunfei immediately extended his Soul Power perception far out and discovered that the area where the battle had taken place was now gradually calming down, though many terrifying remnants of battle energy still churned and surged there.
"That senior is gone, that Guardian Captain is gone too, and it seems the Watchers are gone as well."
Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique and instantly arrived at the spot where the Master of Xiaoliang Temple had been undergoing his tribulation.
The inky black space-time tear was still there, with a large amount of terrifying thunderbolt energy lingering nearby. Many dazzling bolts of lightning still snaked through the area, dense and daunting to behold.
"The Master's deity tribulation has also ended, but I don't know the final result. Did the Master successfully ascend to become a Deity?"
Ye Yunfei looked at this space saturated with residual thunder energy, pondering silently.
"Look! Those are experts from Xiaoliang Temple, but now they've been reduced to scattered limbs and flesh. There are also quite a few corpses of those Watchers. It seems both sides fought very fiercely, with heavy casualties on both sides. But the final result is still unknown."
Meng Wu, Lu Jun, and Li Ming followed Ye Yunfei and also arrived in this space. Soon, more and more people gathered here.
"Did the Master of Xiaoliang Temple successfully ascend or not? Who emerged victorious between those two terrifyingly powerful supreme experts?"
Everyone was filled with curiosity, eager to find out the outcome immediately. However, judging by the scene before them, no one knew how things had concluded.
"It seems the only way to find out is to inquire with people from Xiaoliang Temple."
Someone sighed after carefully examining and sensing the surroundings in this void.
However, quite a few Master Diviners sat cross-legged in this void and began their divinations.
"I'll try my hand at divination too."
Ye Yunfei stood still and immediately cast the Chaotic Providence Art to divine the events that had occurred in this void.
Soon, Ye Yunfei saw two massive figures radiating dazzling light locked in a fierce battle. Both possessed terrifying strength, and neither could gain the upper hand. Then Ye Yunfei saw the Watchers, followed by a billowing tribulation of lightning—layer upon layer cascading down, utterly inundating the space below. There, a Daoist priest was undergoing the tribulation.
"The Deity Tribulation is indeed a bit terrifying."
Sensing the power of those thunderbolts, Ye Yunfei felt secretly shocked.
While Ye Yunfei was divining, many Master Diviners in the distance suddenly spat blood, their faces pale, their bodies swaying unsteadily.
"Too terrifying! I don't have the ability to divine the battles between those experts or the Deity Tribulation! I'm suffering backlash now!"
One Master Diviner opened his eyes, spat several mouthfuls of blood, and said in a trembling voice.
"I don't dare divine further either; otherwise, I'll die here today."
Another Master Diviner nearby also stopped his divination. Pale-faced and filled with terror, he stood up, took out a healing pill and swallowed it, then left without looking back.
Soon, half of the Master Diviners could no longer continue. Only those with exceptionally strong divination skills could persist.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei continued his divination using the Chaotic Providence Art.
In his divination, Ye Yunfei saw the two supreme experts locked in continuous, intense battle. Their fight was so intense it turned the sun and moon upside down and shattered space-time, as if wanting to destroy everything.
The Master of Xiaoliang Temple's tribulation was still ongoing. The Deity Tribulation was indeed different from ordinary tribulations, terrifyingly powerful. Ye Yunfei gauged it and found he simply could not withstand a tribulation of this level.
"It seems there's still a significant gap between me and experts like the Master. He can withstand a Deity Tribulation of this magnitude, while I currently lack that ability."
Ye Yunfei thought inwardly, feeling an urgent desire to become stronger. Whether it was watching the battle between the two supreme experts or witnessing the Master's Deity Tribulation, both gave him immense insight.
"Guardian Captain, if this continues, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple will complete his Deity Tribulation."
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"No matter. With us Watchers here, he will not succeed in ascension."
The Guardian Captain, still engaged in battle, replied coldly.
The next moment.
"Our duty as Watchers is to oversee this void, preventing any disturbances. The beings of this void should forever atone for their sins, never to be freed from their shackles."
An even colder voice sounded. Ye Yunfei vaguely saw another massive, indistinct figure enter the Gudao World Cluster from outside.
"Not good. It seems another Guardian Captain has arrived!"
Seeing that indistinct figure, Ye Yunfei inwardly cried out in alarm.
"It seems there really are quite a few of you snakes, insects, rodents, and pests!"
The colossal figure, seeing another Guardian Captain arrive, spoke in a grave, booming voice.
Boom! Boom!
Next, Ye Yunfei witnessed an even fiercer fight. This time, the energies and laws released by the battle were too terrifying. Even with the Chaotic Providence Art, Ye Yunfei found it difficult to divine the specific scenes clearly. He could only see endless energies and laws churning and roaring insanely in that void, presenting a scene akin to the apocalypse.
"Not good, I can't see anything!"
Ye Yunfei was dumbfounded and kept casting the Chaotic Providence Art, trying to clarify the divined scenes. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer see specific scenes. All he could see were the endlessly churning energies and laws.
"It seems I cannot divine the battle between those three supreme experts either. I also cannot divine the latter half of the Master's Deity Tribulation. This is because the strength of those three experts is too great, and the Deity Tribulation involves ascension to Deity-hood. With my current divination ability, I cannot divine matters related to Deities."
Ye Yunfei sighed inwardly.
After continuing for a while longer and still divining nothing, Ye Yunfei finally gave up.
"So, Brother Ye, you spent quite some time divining. Did you divine any developments? Did the Master of Xiaoliang Temple ultimately succeed in ascension?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei stop, Li Ming immediately asked.
"Brother Ye, I noticed the divination art you used seemed quite profound. Combined with your strength, you must have seen a fair amount."
Meng Wu said.
"I didn't divine anything useful either. What I divined were only vague impressions, and I didn't see the final outcome—it cut off halfway."
Ye Yunfei shook his head and said with a sigh.
"Even you, Brother Ye, using such a profound divination art, couldn't divine anything useful, then other so-called Master Diviners are even less likely to divine anything. Earlier, two guys forced their divinations and almost died."
Lu Jun said.
"It seems we'll have to wait to find out the answer. If the Master truly ascended, news will surely emerge from Xiaoliang Temple soon."
Meng Wu said.
"If the Master of Xiaoliang Temple becomes a Deity, Xiaoliang Temple will instantly become the most powerful faction in this Chaotic Void Sea. Unless other factions also produce Deities, Xiaoliang Temple will dominate the Chaotic Void Sea."
Lu Jun said.
"However, the Master has always been low-key, and Xiaoliang Temple's conduct is also quite restrained. They have always been amicable with others. Such a faction probably wouldn't seek hegemony."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and then spoke.
He had always held a favorable impression of the Master of Xiaoliang Temple.
"Heh, Brother Ye, it's not wise to be so optimistic. Anyone who attains absolute power finds it hard to restrain themselves; their mindset will inevitably change over time. Even if the Master was previously low-key, restrained, and amicable, once he becomes a Deity, he could easily dominate everything and everyone in this Chaotic Void Sea. That feeling of supreme control is all too easy to become lost in. Taking a step back, even if the Master maintains his former temperament after ascension, what about others in Xiaoliang Temple? With a Deity in the sect, whenever people from Xiaoliang Temple travel through the Chaotic Void Sea, they'll be revered like stars flocking to the moon, elevated high above others. Their mentality will change eventually too. In fact, it's not just Xiaoliang Temple. Any faction that produces a Deity will eventually dominate this Chaotic Void Sea."
Lu Jun said.
"Brother Lu makes a valid point. However, we still don't know whether the Master of Xiaoliang Temple successfully underwent his tribulation, whether he has become a Deity yet."
Meng Wu said.
"Yes, we don't know the outcome yet. Such talk is pointless."
Li Ming nodded.
By this time, many had already left the Gudao World Cluster.
However, a portion of people still lingered near the exit to the Guhang Secret Realm, sensing the dark space-time tear. High-level energies and laws still continuously emanated from within, constantly raising the quality of the Gudao World Cluster.
"If only we had a chance to properly explore the Guhang Secret Realm, it would be amazing. There would surely be great rewards."
Someone stared at the space-time tear longingly.
"Don't get your hopes up. With our strength, we can't enter the Guhang Secret Realm."
Someone nearby said.
"But it's so frustrating to face a secret realm and not be able to enter! How about we try to find a way to enter this Guhang Secret Realm? It's a Deity-level realm. Even getting some random things inside would be an immense gain for us."
Someone voiced their unwillingness.
"The energy and laws in this Gudao World Cluster are becoming more and more advanced. I'll simply stay here to cultivate and reside!"
"These energies and laws being released from the Guhang Secret Realm are all Deity-level! Within the entire Chaotic Void Sea, no other world cluster likely possesses such a concentration of Deity-level energy and laws!"
"Exactly. I've decided, from now on, I'll stay in the Gudao World Cluster and become part of this cluster!"
Many beings also set their sights on the Gudao World Cluster, deciding to cultivate and reside here. After all, even the Patriarchs of major factions had flocked here to undergo their Deity Tribulations, proving this was an excellent place.
"Friends, why don't we also stay and cultivate in this cluster for a while? The energy and laws here are indeed becoming increasingly advanced. Such a good place is hard to find."
Sensing the energy and laws in the surrounding space, Li Ming suggested.
"That seems feasible. How about we stick together and cultivate in this cluster for some time?"
Lu Jun said.
"I don't mind. I've been wandering the Chaotic Void Sea recently anyway. Staying to cultivate here for a bit is fine with me."
Meng Wu nodded.
"What about you, Brother Ye?" Meng Wu looked at Ye Yunfei.
"I plan to return to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and replied.
"In that case, we three will cultivate here for a while. Brother Ye, when you have time, you can come to the Gudao World Cluster to meet up with us. For the next while, we three will likely be in seclusion here."
Meng Wu said.
"Alright. If I have time, I will definitely come to find you all in the Gudao World Cluster."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Then Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged before the entrance to the Guhang Secret Realm again, spending some time divining it. However, he divined nothing useful, only seeing a vast, hazy space before being completely blocked by terrifying energies and laws, rendering further divination impossible.
"It seems the Guhang Secret Realm is indeed a Deity-level secret realm. My current divination ability simply cannot penetrate it."
Ye Yunfei finally gave up, sighing inwardly.
Then Ye Yunfei left the Gudao World Cluster.
By now, many had already departed. The Gudao World Cluster, which had been bustling with activity for some time, gradually began to return to its former tranquility.
"So, the various things you've witnessed recently must be helpful for your cultivation, right?"
After leaving the Gudao World Cluster, Ye Yunfei sent a message to sisters Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue.
Since arriving at the Gudao World Cluster, the two sisters had spent most of their time inside the Phantom Tower, as the situation in the cluster had been far too complex. Therefore, Ye Yunfei had placed them inside the tower. However, he hadn't sealed their perception of the outside world, so they were able to sense everything that happened.
