The reveling clansmen gradually dispersed. Under Ye Zhentian's arrangements, the clansmen returned to the Ye Family and began to organize their belongings in a tense yet orderly manner, preparing for the upcoming relocation.
Prince Ning's army could arrive at any moment, so the Ye Family needed to tidy up quickly and head to the Silver Moon Secret Realm. Fortunately, after the conclusion of the Nine Sect Trial, Ye Feng had already written a letter to the family, urging them to pack their things in advance and prepare for a family migration. Now, only some finishing touches remained.
After bidding farewell to Ye Zhentian, Ye Feng returned to the residence with his father.
Once Ye Honglin regained his composure, the courtyard underwent renovations and now appeared completely refreshed, adorned with exotic flowers and plants. As he pushed open the courtyard door, a fragrant aroma wafted in. Not far away, the pond's water was crystal clear, revealing glimpses of several brightly colored fish swimming beneath the surface.
Ye Chen had been sent away to assist Ye Zhentian with clan affairs. At this moment, Ye Honglin walked ahead with a heavy heart, not pausing for a moment as he navigated through the garden and directly entered a study at the back of the courtyard.
The candlelight flickered, casting a trembling glow. Ye Feng and his father sat side by side, their expressions unusually calm.
Although he knew that his father was about to reveal something astonishing—likely involving some formidable figures—they were facing what could be an insurmountable mountain.
However, Ye Feng's mindset showed no signs of disturbance. After entering the Gangwu Realm, his temperament had transformed alongside his elevated state of mind.
As the saying goes, "Success depends on human effort." Ye Feng now possessed absolute confidence; even if there were indeed a mountain blocking his path, given time, he could destroy it!
Ye Honglin glanced at his son and seemed to be influenced by his current demeanor; his previously restless feelings gradually settled.
After a long while, the candlelight flickered again, producing a soft crackling sound.
"Your cultivation has reached the Gangwu Realm. Logically speaking, you should be qualified to know about that matter. However, even if you possess extraordinary talent, do not think about seeking revenge until you reach the peak of martial arts!" Ye Honglin fixed his gaze on Ye Feng's eyes, resolute in his decision; if he detected any emotional change in Ye Feng, he would take this secret to his grave.
"The peak of martial arts? Father, there is no peak in martial arts; however, it is indeed one of my motivations for cultivation," Ye Feng replied calmly, showing no signs of being affected emotionally.
Ye Feng's flawless demeanor left no room for Ye Honglin to find any flaws. He sighed and said solemnly, "There may be no peak in martial arts, but in the Divine Martial Continent, the Divine Martial Realm represents the pinnacle of martial arts. Until you reach the Divine Martial Realm, never think about seeking revenge."
Ye Feng looked at his father in surprise, finding it hard to imagine how terrifying the hidden enemy must be, requiring him to elevate his martial arts cultivation to the Divine Martial Realm just to have a chance for revenge.
"You may not know much about the Eastern Continent, but I have personally set foot on the Eastern Continent and interacted with some superpowers," Ye Honglin's subsequent words made Ye Feng's heart tremble.
Even though his mindset was far beyond ordinary people, he could not hide his astonishment at that moment.
"Father actually went to the Eastern Continent. Why have I never heard of this before?"
Ye Honglin shook his head, as if it were not a memory worth mentioning.
"Let me briefly explain the situation in the Eastern Continent." Ye Honglin decided to start from the beginning so that Ye Feng could understand the terror of their enemies from a different perspective.
Ye Feng nodded and listened attentively. Gradually, he gained a more detailed understanding of the vague Eastern Continent from his father's narrative.
In the Divine Martial Continent, martial arts cultivation is divided into five major realms: Martial Realm, Origin Martial Realm, Gangwu Realm, Xuanwu Realm, and Divine Martial Realm.
In the Western Continent, sects are scarce, and there is no accurate division of strength among them. However, on the vast Eastern Continent, which is about a hundred times larger than the Western Continent, martial arts sects are numerous and are categorized into three levels: Heavenly, Earthly, and Human.
Speaking of the Divine Martial Realm, there are known to be no more than ten experts at this level across both continents. Only behind the long-standing Heavenly Level Sect, which has endured for nearly ten thousand years, might such godly figures be hidden.
Xuanwu Realm warriors represent the pinnacle of power in the Eastern Continent. The number of Xuanwu Realm warriors within a sect directly influences its ranking in the Eastern Continent; typically, a Heavenly Level Sect has at least around a hundred Xuanwu Realm experts.
An Earth-Level Sect must have at least ten Xuanwu Realm experts.
As long as a sect produces one Xuanwu Realm expert, it can be promoted to a Human-Level Sect.
Heaven, Earth, and Man represent three levels of Sects, and according to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of them throughout the Eastern Continent. The number of known Xuanwu Realm experts in the entire Eastern Continent exceeds ten thousand! This does not even account for some Xuanwu Realm experts privately cultivated by the royal families of the Four Great Empires.
Any Xuanwu Realm expert arriving at the Western Continent could easily stir up tremendous waves and flatten all forces.
Ye Feng's current strength is nearly invincible within the Northern Frontier, but in the entire Divine Martial Continent, he can at most be considered above average, still far from the top martial artists.
Among the Four Great Empires of the Eastern Continent, although there are quite a few Gangwu Realm warriors, they are still relatively few. Gangwu Realm warriors hold a certain status; even if they cannot roam freely across the Eastern Continent, no one dares to provoke them lightly. However, since the Eastern Continent is the core of the Divine Martial Continent, seasoned Gangwu Realm warriors like Tianyi Daoist may only serve as Outer Sect Elders in Heavenly Level Sects.
In the Eastern Continent, the position of Outer Sect Elder is just above that of Outer Sect Disciple and is even inferior to some exceptionally talented Inner Sect Disciples, let alone Core Disciples who are highly valued by their Sects.
"With your talent, you should be able to become an Inner Sect Disciple in a Heavenly Level Sect on the Eastern Continent, but becoming a Core Disciple is still a bit out of reach." Even so, Ye Honglin appeared incredibly proud.
"Just an Inner Sect Disciple?" Ye Feng sighed lightly, finally understanding what it means that there are heavens beyond heaven and people beyond people.
"That's already quite good," Ye Honglin comforted with a smile. "The Heavenly Level Sects in the Eastern Continent are places where all young disciples strive to enter. Not to mention being an Inner Sect Disciple; even the treatment of an Outer Sect Disciple is far beyond what a small Sect like Dragon Tiger Sect can compare to."
"There are only about ten Heavenly Level Sects combined in the Eastern Continent. Whenever they open their doors to recruit disciples, nearby cities almost empty out. Each time, at least nearly a million disciples participate in the entrance examination, which lasts for three whole months. Ultimately, only a little over a thousand Outer Sect Disciples are accepted into the Sect."
"Selecting just over a thousand entry disciples from a million people?" Ye Feng was slightly taken aback and clearly found it hard to believe his father's words. How could an entrance examination involving a million disciples conclude in just three months?
"The population of the Eastern Continent is beyond your imagination. A small city like Silvermoon City can accommodate at most several tens of thousands of people in the Western Continent, but in the Eastern Continent, a city of similar scale would host at least several hundred thousand or even close to a million!" Ye Honglin remarked with emotion. "This was already twenty years ago; now the population has only increased."
"It is said that even in the Celestial Moon Empire, which has the sparsest population among the Four Great Empires, there are still a terrifying three hundred million people. One can imagine the population of the entire Eastern Continent."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt even more confused. He had originally thought that both continents existed side by side and that only the quality of martial artists differed between them.
"The area of the Eastern Continent is a hundred times that of the Western Continent, and the population difference is so vast. Why is there a division between the two continents? It seems that the Western Continent is merely a small part of the Divine Martial Continent. Moreover, any expert from the Xuanwu Realm in the Eastern Continent could easily conquer the Western Continent and become its ruler. Why do they choose to remain beneath others instead of fighting for this land and its resources?"
If it were just that primitive forest separating the two continents, Ye Feng would never believe it.
"You are correct. The so-called Western Continent is merely what we in the West call it. The Western Continent is only one percent of the Eastern Continent, even less than some slightly larger islands. The reason it hasn't attracted the attention of those experts from the Eastern Continent is that our land is known as the Cursed Land. Whether in terms of cultivation resources or Heaven and Earth Vitality, it pales in comparison to even one-tenth of what the Eastern Continent offers. Furthermore, there is a legend in the Eastern Continent that martial artists living in the Western Continent can never advance to the Xuanwu Realm. Even if a Xuanwu Realm martial artist goes to the Western Continent and stays there for a long time, their realm will gradually decline to Gangwu Realm. As for whether this legend is true or not, that remains unknown!"
Ye Honglin explained solemnly. It was precisely for this reason that he chose to leave his family and venture into the Eastern Continent despite countless dangers, hoping to progress further on his martial path.
"Cursed Land!" Ye Feng fell into deep thought again. No wonder when the Demon Clan rampaged back then, those experts from the Eastern Continent did not offer full assistance. It seems that the reputation of the Western Continent among them is extremely poor; in their eyes, such a small place might as well be discarded since it holds no value.
"The mother you have never met, Liu Nandie, is a woman from the Eastern Continent. Not only that, but she is also a Core Disciple of the Heavenly Level Sect Cold Moon Palace within the Qin Yuan Empire!"
After introducing the situation of the Eastern Continent, Ye Honglin's tone suddenly shifted as he continued, "Over twenty years ago, when I was young and arrogant, having just reached Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level, I thought I was invincible and secretly went to the Eastern Continent without informing my family. As soon as I entered the Qin Yuan Empire, I accidentally provoked a group of local thugs."
"Those thugs were slightly weaker than me, only at Origin Martial Realm Fourth or Fifth Level, but their combat experience was far richer. Underestimating them led to my defeat; I was on the brink of losing my life when your mother happened to be passing by on a sect mission and saved me effortlessly. That’s how we met."
When mentioning his wife, Ye Honglin's gaze became somewhat distant, his expression increasingly dreamy as if he were immersed in a beautiful memory.
