Ye Tianchen defeated the Xiu Luodi and Xiu Luotian brothers, which is not surprising. Although to others, especially the head of the Xiao family, it would seem incredible, unbelievable without seeing it firsthand. However, it is the truth, and considering Ye Tianchen’s cultivation realm, it was really a piece of cake!

Because the cultivation realm of these two brothers is truly not on the same level as Ye Tianchen. What Ye Tianchen did not expect was that Xiu Luotian mentioned clues about the ”Hidden World” in the Mortal World upon his death, which Ye Tianchen had not anticipated. Unfortunately, just as Ye Tianchen wanted to learn more clues, the Xiu Luodi and Xiu Luotian brothers’ heads suddenly exploded, dying with shattered bodies, leaving behind a scene of destruction. Unexpectedly, self-exploding runes had long been planted in their minds, triggering once they were defeated, leading to their demise!

Ye Tianchen glanced at the two corpses on the ground, wrinkled his brows, and thought to himself: It seems that the Hidden World within the Mortal World is not so simple, someone could plant such explosive runes, which is beyond the methods of Ancient Martial Arts cultivators and belongs to the Divine Skills of a Martial Artist. Regardless of whether clues for the Dream Demon Killing Skill can be found in the Hidden World, it is worth taking a journey to investigate!

Indeed, after the sudden death of the Xiu Luotian and Xiu Luodi brothers, Ye Tianchen captured a trace of the rune using his powerful Divine Thought. This rune is planted in the mind in advance, automatically exploding when a certain boundary is touched, catching one off guard, and even the person with the rune in their mind would not know their entire life, dying without peace!

According to logic, there exists a ”Hidden World” in the Mortal World, as narrated by the knife-bearing man, this ”Hidden World” is essentially a circle of individuals who have cultivated Ancient Martial Arts or obtained scattered Martial Arts Divine Skills within the Mortal World, a world between the Mortal World and the Martial Arts World. Most should still be cultivators of Ancient Martial Arts in the Mortal World, incapable of possessing Martial Arts Divine Skills, but the ability to plant self-destructive runes in the minds of the Xiu Luotian and Xiu Luodi brothers distinctly involves Martial Arts Divine Power. This matter leaves Ye Tianchen puzzled and convinced that the ”Hidden World” within the Mortal World cannot be so simple.

”You... what do you want to do?” The helmsman of the Xiao family saw Ye Tianchen suddenly turn around, looking at him, nervously asking, cold sweating.

”Don’t you claim to be very powerful? You’ve seen many battles, ruthless and killing countless numbers, and now you’re afraid?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask with a cold laugh.

”You... you are not human, you’re a demon!” The voice of the helmsman of the Xiao family wavered slightly.

”Good to know, in the future, behave, never oppose the Ye family forever, otherwise next time I won’t be so polite!” Ye Tianchen’s face suddenly changed, speaking very seriously.

Whoosh!

Vanished, just vanished into thin air, Ye Tianchen disappeared before the helmsman of the Xiao family, leaving him in stunned silence, staring ahead in a daze. It was a long time before the Xiao family’s helmsman furrowed his brows and muttered to himself: ”I think with my lifetime reputation, decisiveness in slaughter, within ten years, I made our Xiao family one of the top families in China, counting as a talent. But with Ye Tianchen in the Ye family, it remains an insurmountable obstacle, at least within my lifetime, I can’t challenge the Ye family anymore!”

Ye Tianchen still didn’t kill recklessly; the bodyguards from the Zhou family and the Wang family are only beaten up with no life-threatening danger, while within the Xiao family, only those Ancient Martial cultivators with blood-stained hands were killed by Ye Tianchen. As for other ordinary people, not a single one was killed, even the steward of the Xiao family is left half-dead, Ye Tianchen did not directly kill him, nor did he kill the helmsman of the Xiao family!

The helmsmen of the Zhou family, Wang family, Xiao family, were not killed by Ye Tianchen, which is something Ye Tianchen had already decided. He isn’t someone who likes to kill innocents, and even with such powerful Martial Artist strength, he truly hesitates to kill powerless ordinary people; it’s not what a strong person should do!

Ye Tianchen believed that the Zhou family, the Wang family, and the Xiao family had all been intimidated and received the lesson they deserved. They would absolutely dare not go against the Ye family again. This matter could be considered settled. If it weren’t for the fact that the Ye family still needed to continue developing in China and his parents and sister following him to the Ancient Martial World meant the family needed successors, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t have easily let the other families off. This could be regarded as leaving some grace, hoping they would conduct themselves well.

On the way back, Ye Tianchen and the knife-wielding man were flying through the air above the Capital City using Qi Manipulation Flight. With their cultivation realms, they were enough to be the rulers of the Mortal World, and no advanced civilization in the Mortal World could detect them. Along the way, Ye Tianchen and the knife-wielding man discussed matters concerning the ”Hidden World.”

”I didn’t expect the cultivator of the Ancient Martial Arts to mention the Hidden World. It seems this Hidden World of the Mortal World hasn’t entirely cut off communication with the Mortal World but exists between the two,” the knife-wielding man thought for a moment and said.

”Yes, according to Xiu Luotian, his master comes from the Hidden World. Perhaps there are quite a few people in the Mortal World being noticed by the Hidden World, taken as disciples,” Ye Tianchen said.

”Xiu Luotian’s master comes from the Hidden World, and looking at Xiu Luotian’s cultivation realm, he has already reached the Martial King realm. Although in the Martial Arts World it doesn’t count for much and is still quite weak, in the Mortal World, he could absolutely act unchecked. If Xiu Luotian was trained to become a Martial Artist, it seems his master should also be a Martial Artist. The Hidden World within the Mortal World isn’t that simple!” the knife-wielding man said with a frown.

”Yes, I think so too. The reason why there exists a Hidden World in Earth’s Mortal World is that Earth was once a place where cultivation was prosperous. Many Martial Artists were fond of the Mortal World’s life and unwilling to leave, even leaving behind some martial legacies. These Martial Arts Divine Powers have been passed down through generations, potentially leading to descendants achieving successful cultivation, gradually forming such a Hidden World!” Ye Tianchen speculated.

”That’s right. It seems entering the Hidden World this time will yield significant rewards. No matter what, we must make this trip!” the knife-wielding man said with a smile.

”Naturally!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

In Ye Tianchen’s view, the ”Hidden World” within the Mortal World must have powerful Martial Artists. However, these Martial Artists did not enter the Ancient Martial World nor live within the Mortal World. Instead, they established a ”Hidden World,” a place for them to live alone within Earth’s Mortal World. Because they exist between this Hidden World and the Mortal World, there must be some interactions, and many matters of the Mortal World are likely dominated by them.

Initially, Ye Tianchen wanted to enter the ”Hidden World” with the knife-wielding man, firstly out of curiosity, and secondly because Ye Tianchen thought this Dream Demon Killing Skill, a Martial Arts Divine Skill, was unheard of in the three great Ancient Martial Worlds on Earth. If there were clues, they would probably only be found in the ”Hidden World” of the Mortal World, and if not even there, it would be very difficult!

Now, the ”Hidden World” was indeed somewhat beyond Ye Tianchen and the knife-wielding man’s expectations. It seemed this world also had powerful Martial Artists who couldn’t be underestimated. From ancient times, the Martial Arts World had evolved over billions of years, with many different civilizations emerging, and numerous Star Domains were born. Earth once was a prosperous place for cultivation and was a land full of mysterious secrets within the entire Martial Arts World, frequently explored by countless powerful individuals!

The Hidden World might likely harbor some powerful Martial Artists, and they practiced Martial Arts Divine Skills long lost and forgotten in the Martial Arts World. These skills once dominated the world, shattering the Heavenly Vault—undoubtedly formidable!

When Ye Tianchen and the knife-wielding man returned to the old Ye family residence, everything was still so peaceful. Ye Tianchen and the knife-wielding man entered their respective rooms and went to sleep. To obtain more clues about the ”Hidden World,” Ye Tianchen still felt it necessary to find Yong Chun Tai, the inheritor of this Ancient Martial Sect’s Absolute Skill. A trip to Zhongnan Mountain was in order. Of course, with his and the knife-wielding man’s cultivation, they could definitely reach Zhongnan Mountain before dawn, as it would only take moments. However, Ye Tianchen had promised Liu Rumei to go with her, keeping his word. Ye Tianchen decided to set off the day after tomorrow, bringing Liu Rumei along!

Early the next morning, Ye Tianchen was still in a deep sleep when he was awakened by the urgent sound of knocking on the door. Ye Tianchen didn’t even need to get out of bed to know who this frantic door-knocker was. Aside from his sister Ye Qianwen, his parents wouldn’t come knocking, and the Ye family’s servants wouldn’t dare do so. Who else could it be but this mischievous little girl? What could this sister be knocking about so early in the morning? (To be continued.
