CHAPTER 1076: 1076 SURVEILLANCE! (FOURTH UPDATE)

The infinite formation is beyond human imagination.

The deeper Ye Qiu delves into his research, the more he feels like a frog at the bottom of a well, too shallow-minded.

When formations reach a profound level, using the sun, moon, and stars as the core, setting up an unparalleled ferocious array, that’s what truly stands out, capable even of killing gods.

Ye Qiu believes that the description in his family’s ancient texts about the Du Gu clan is not false, especially those formations that use galaxies as their base, incinerating the heavens. Just reading the description evokes a terrifying aura of world destruction, causing one’s heart to race.

"If a Martial Artist could walk upon the stars, shatter the void, and travel the universe, then such formations would no longer be strange," Ye Qiu mused.

His gaze continued to browse, and he saw a line of small words expressing longing for the ancestral land of the Du Gu clan.

Ye Qiu’s gaze paused, the ancestral land of the Du Gu clan!

Could it be that the Du Gu clan are not the indigenous inhabitants of the ancient land?

Ye Qiu continued to flip through, striving to discover some related information in this formation.

This formation has likely been surveyed by many powerhouses from the Du Gu clan, leaving behind many insights and notes for future reference.

As Ye Qiu kept flipping, with certain phrases and annotations, he was astonished to discover that his Du Gu clan was not from Earth.

But rather, they came here from another world.

"Could it be that the Du Gu clan traveled through the stars and arrived here?" Ye Qiu couldn’t believe it himself because he couldn’t imagine how humans could travel through space and traverse the universe by their own power.

This is more mythical than mythology.

Or does this world actually have gods and immortals?

As Ye Qiu’s mind trembled, he pondered, if the Du Gu clan descended upon Earth from elsewhere, where did they originally reside?

Ye Qiu’s heart raced as if unraveling the Du Gu clan’s history, delving into a mythical experience.

He finished one book and then moved on to another until Ye Qiu had read all the ancient texts but still couldn’t figure out where the Du Gu clan originally lived.

They just mentioned the words ’ancestral land’ repeatedly without elaborating.

It took Ye Qiu most of the day to calm his thoughts, no longer thinking about these matters that were currently unrealistic for him.

Even if a Martial Artist becomes powerful enough to truly shatter the void and roam the universe, it’s not something he could achieve now.

Even the most powerful in the Ji clan, Ji Batian, probably couldn’t do it.

Suppressing these thoughts, Ye Qiu turned his focus back to formations, beginning to study third-level formations.

...

"There’s still no news of that remnant. Was this kid taken out by the Beast God, or is he hiding? It remains unknown now."

"If we don’t deal with this child, he will eventually be a scourge, and the later we do it, the greater the price we’ll pay."

"Ji Ancestor suggests not stepping into that world of ice, as it might disturb the Beast God. Once the Beast God is disturbed, our ancient land will face a catastrophe."

Ji Changtian, Mu Tianxing, and Shi Lie gathered together to discuss dealing with Ye Qiu, but unfortunately, there was still no news of him.

"This remnant is improving rapidly, and if he fully matures, he will be the greatest enemy of our three ancient clans. Back then, we massacred the Du Gu clan; he won’t spare any of our ancient clans, so joining forces is the best option."

"As long as we band together, neither he nor those powerhouses from the Yun Shang Palace can harm us."

"The Ji clan leader is right, but we also cannot relax our search for this remnant. Keep a close watch on anyone who has had contact with him."

"Now that you mention it, I recall that this boy seems to have a close relationship with the Tang clan."

"And the Jin clan has his follower, who, even though he left his ancient clan, is still connected by blood and sinew, and he must be watched closely. Any slight movement is worth our attention."

The three clan leaders discussed and reached a decision. Even though they couldn’t find Ye Qiu, they would try their best to investigate those associated with him.

The actions of the three ancient clans, though secretive, were still noticed by Tang Heshan.

Inside the Tang clan.

Tang Heshan paced back and forth in the study, confused as to why the three ancient clans were monitoring the Tang clan instead.

"The three ancient clans are so cautious; it seems that Ye Qiu’s existence is important to them," Elder Tang Li said.

Tang Heshan chuckled, "For Ye Qiu, the three ancient clans have lost at least seventy law enforcement Martial Artists and over thirty elders, and yet he still slipped away. It’s no wonder the three ancient clans want him dead. Their actions are understandable, but it leaves us Tang clan living under their watchful eyes, which is truly aggravating."

"We’ve endured due to our lack of strength for many years now; a few more days won’t hurt," Elder Tang Li said.

Tang Heshan nodded. What’s the use of being upset? They could only swallow their grievances.

...

Jin Wanshan brought several young members from the Jin clan to exchange with the Shan clan, another low-ranking ancient clan.

After a series of competitions, all Jin clan members were victorious, and the Shan clan leader said, "Clan Leader Jin, your Jin clan has some promising new talents in recent years that have surpassed our Shan clan’s geniuses. I fear our Shan clan might be overtaken by your Jin clan."

"Haha, not at all, we’re both low-ranking ancient clans with comparable strength. It’s just that these youngsters are striving themselves."

"This is just your Jin clan’s young generation. I remember your son, Jin Shanshun, is quite exceptional now, having become a Martial Artist in the Mythical Realm. He can even spar with the three ancient clans unscathed; I’m quite envious," the Shan clan leader said.

Jin Wanshan immediately put on a stern face and said, "Clan Leader Shan, you shouldn’t say such things. That boy has severed ties with the Jin clan and is no longer associated with us. His strength has nothing to do with the Jin clan. I hope Clan Leader Shan won’t associate us with him in the future, or if the three ancient clans find out, it will bring trouble to the Jin clan."

"Haha, Clan Leader Jin, you’re overreacting. The three ancient clans are well aware of this, otherwise, you and I wouldn’t be laughing and chatting here."

"Indeed, indeed. Since we’ve disturbed you for so long, we should be leaving. Clan Leader Shan, we’ll end it here for today."

"Alright, then I won’t see you off."

Jin Wanshan led a few Jin clan members away from the Shan clan and only after walking some distance did he wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Have the three ancient clans started targeting our Jin clan?" Jin Wanshan murmured. If his keen eyes hadn’t recognized a figure from the Ji clan hiding among the Shan clan members, he wouldn’t have thought in this direction.

Listening to the probing tone of the Shan clan leader, Jin Wanshan understood even more that the Shan clan must have connections with the Ji clan, so he spoke very cautiously, not leaving any inappropriate remarks.

This unexpected discovery made Jin Wanshan take it seriously. He was determined to keep a low profile and be careful of every action once he returned, ensuring the three ancient clans wouldn’t notice anything suspicious about the Jin clan.

As Jin Wanshan’s distant figure disappeared, a silhouette slowly appeared beside the Shan clan leader and said softly, "Did you find anything?"
