Chapter 1690: Chapter 1689: The ”Hidden World” Within the Mortal World

”Don’t worry, big brother, Sister Rumei won’t be too tired. As long as our Sea King Group succeeds in this major project recently, it will become the top Chinese enterprise group. Not to mention, within five years, no one can shake our position!” Ye Qianwen said earnestly.

”Then you should learn more, too. I hope you become a self-reliant and capable person!” Ye Tianchen said to his sister, Ye Qianwen.

”Got it, big brother. Hurry up and tell me, what did you chat about with Sister Rumei?” Ye Qianwen grinned, asking about gossip again.

”I’ve already told you, go back to sleep now, or else I’ll throw Liu Fei out of the Ye family and never let him in again!” Ye Tianchen said with a glare at Ye Qianwen.

”Alright, I’d be more than happy. That guy is really annoying every day. Big brother, help me get rid of him!” Ye Qianwen said with a cheeky smile.

Ye Tianchen glanced at his sister Ye Qianwen with a very serious expression, not looking like he was joking. He immediately walked towards the villa entrance, clearly intending to throw Liu Fei out of the Ye family!

”Big brother, what are you doing?” Ye Qianwen was dumbfounded all of a sudden, thinking her brother was serious and definitely not joking!

”Throw Liu Fei out of the Ye family. This guy is really annoying, always pestering you. I can’t stand it. Should I break his leg?” Ye Tianchen asked seriously, looking at his sister Ye Qianwen.

”Huh? Big brother, why are you like this? Liu Fei didn’t provoke you, and besides, he’s helped our Ye family a lot over the years, so we can’t do that, can we?” Ye Qianwen said with some anger.

”Haha, you little girl, I think you and Liu Fei are quite a pair. Why not get along and get married?” Ye Tianchen said with a chuckle.

”Big brother... I’m not talking to you anymore. Every word is true, ignoring you now!” Ye Qianwen rolled her eyes at her brother Ye Tianchen and walked out of the villa!

Watching his sister’s departing figure, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smile. His sister was still as adorable as ever. Of course, for Ye Tianchen, he genuinely hopes his sister finds a good match. These years when he’s been away, both parents and sister, or even Liu Rumei, have truly had a hard time. Although Liu Rumei’s brother, Liu Fei, shows deep affection for Qianwen, who can say for sure about such matters? After all, it’s about his sister’s lifelong happiness, and Ye Tianchen won’t take it lightly!

Not thinking too much for now, having just returned home with matters waiting for him to handle, Ye Tianchen decided to have a good rest. He lay on his bed and gradually fell asleep!

The next morning, when Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, he was startled because there was someone sleeping beside him. This person was the knife-wielding man, and Ye Tianchen had no idea when he returned, nor did he feel a thing!

”Hey, old brother, when did you come back?” Ye Tianchen nudged the knife-wielding man!

At this time, the knife-wielding man woke up from his snores, and looking sleepily at Ye Tianchen, he said, ”You woke up so early, disturbing my rest!”

”Old brother, am I disturbing your rest? You just came back, right?” Ye Tianchen asked, feeling a bit depressed.

”Yes, I just came back. Last night, I wandered around the Capital City in the Mortal World, and it felt quite nice!” The knife-wielding man said with a smile.

”It looks like you visited some high-end places!” Ye Tianchen also laughed and said.

”A tacit understanding, a tacit understanding!” The knife-wielding man climbed up from the bed and slowly activated a surge of Martial Arts True Qi to push away the night’s fatigue. To a powerful Martial Artist, it’s nothing!

Ye Tianchen glanced at the knife-wielding man and said, ”Old brother, what are you planning to do next? I’m preparing to investigate the Dream Demon Killing Skill!”

”I’m planning to go to the Hidden World within the Mortal World. I think you should go there too if you want to investigate the Dream Demon Killing Skill,” the knife-wielding man thought for a moment and said.

”The Hidden World within the Mortal World? Old brother, is there really such a world? I’ve never heard of it!” Ye Tianchen asked in amazement.

Indeed, in terms of the life of the Mortal World, Ye Tianchen lacked the knowledge that the knife-wielding man possessed. Moreover, Ye Tianchen had never heard of a ”Hidden World” within the Mortal World, which made him curious about what such a place could be.

”Haha, most people haven’t heard of it. Even in the Martial Arts World, few people know about it. The matter I’m dealing with this time requires me to go to that Hidden World. If you wish to learn about the Dream Demon Killing Skill, you should also visit there,” the knife-wielding man said with a smile.

”The Hidden World, actually within the Mortal World, what kind of world is it?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”Actually, I don’t know much about it either. But let me tell you what I know,” the knife-wielding man nodded and said.

Originally, the reason why the knife-wielding man came to the Mortal World this time was to search for a Divine Art that had long been lost in the Martial Arts World. Many might find it strange, even impossible to believe, thinking how could a Martial Arts Divine Skill possibly be found within the Mortal World? The secular humans of the Mortal World are likely to perish with a mere glance from a powerful Martial Artist. How could a powerful Martial Arts Divine Skill be passed down in the Mortal World?

However, the knife-wielding man’s words enlightened Ye Tianchen as well. From the inception of the Martial Arts World, the Ancient Alien Race appeared, followed by the Demon Clan, and finally the Human Clan, allowing all living beings to emerge in this world. Gradually, different civilizations came into existence, broadly categorized into cultivating beings and non-cultivating beings. Non-cultivating beings refer to secular mortals!

Yet, cultivating beings originate from non-cultivating beings, meaning without secular mortals, where would cultivating beings come from? Among them, many secular beings became powerful Cultivators and gradually ascended to the Martial Arts Peak, becoming supreme figures. However, these powerful Cultivators all began their journey as secular beings, making their attachment to the Mortal World, their yearning for certain things, undeniable!

The Mortal World isn’t merely Earth’s secular realm. Any realm not inhabited by cultivating beings within the vast and boundless Martial Arts World can be considered a Mortal World!

Throughout history, the number of cultivating beings that emerged from secular beings is countless. One could say, the source of Martial Artists in the Martial Arts World lies within the Mortal World. Many beings that became increasingly powerful, even becoming Supreme Emperors, would still be attached to the Mortal World, leaving traces of their presence there, establishing certain legacies, which include the Divine Arts of the Martial Arts World, making it unsurprising!

The various Divine Skills of the Martial Arts World might be obliterated and lose their lineage due to conflicts and battles. However, the Mortal World is far less cruel and bloody compared to the Martial Arts World, allowing certain things to be passed down through generations, still existing today. Of course, those passing down such knowledge can’t be mere mortals of the Mortal World. They are people living in the Mortal World, standing somewhere between Martial Artists and secular mortals!

According to what the knife-wielding man knows, there’s such a Hidden World within the Mortal World. This Hidden World is comprised of families from the Mortal World that have passed down Martial Arts Divine Skills, creating their own circle!

”Don’t underestimate this Hidden World. Within it, there might be some extraordinary Divine Skills of the Martial Arts World that have long been lost!” The knife-wielding man contemplated and said.

”Looks like to investigate the Dream Demon Killing Skill, I have to start from within!” Ye Tianchen replied, frowning.

”There should be some clues, much better than searching like a needle in a haystack!” The knife-wielding man nodded and said.

Ye Tianchen truly hadn’t anticipated that such a ”Hidden World” exists within the Mortal World. It seems, as he knows, Earth is an exceedingly mysterious place filled with all sorts of secrets within the entire Martial Arts World, beyond what ordinary people can comprehend, requiring much exploration still!

When Ye Tianchen decided to go with the knife-wielding man to visit the ”Hidden World” in the Mortal World, as they stepped out of the villa and into the hall, a servant had already prepared breakfast outside the villa. The knife-wielding man glanced at the breakfast on the dining table and voiced his discontent, ”Breakfast with just these things? Won’t it be too little?”

”Old brother, this is how breakfast is typically eaten in the Mortal World, with a reasonable and balanced nutrition!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”We are not ordinary people. Nutrition should be left to secular mortals. I prefer eating large chunks of meat and drinking large bowls of wine!” The knife-wielding man said with a pout.

Ye Tianchen smiled and then told the nearby servant, ”Change the breakfast, serve up some big fish and meat, lobster and abalone, and open a bottle of the finest red wine!”

”Sure, I’ll handle it right away!” The servant nodded and said.

Ye Tianchen and the knife-wielding man sat down. Then Ye Tianchen glanced at the knife-wielding man and asked, ”Old brother, do you know where the Hidden World within Earth’s secular realm is?”

”Nope!” The knife-wielding man shook his head and said.

”What? You don’t know...” Ye Tianchen was momentarily speechless! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to recommend it, vote for it monthly at Qidian [qidian.com]. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users should visit m.qidian.com.)
