"Di Nantian is dead?"

"Impossible. He was the eldest son of the Heavenly Emperor, and his strength had long reached the heavenly level."

"Where did you hear that from? That must be a rumor, definitely fake."

After hearing the news of Di Nantian’s downfall, many expressed disbelief. After all, he was a person of formidable strength and status. How could he just die?

Skepticism was only a small part, as the Heavenly Palace had not given a clear response to this matter, which suggested the news might not be false.

However, within the major sects, this issue was taken very seriously.

Di Nantian was a supreme powerhouse of the heavenly level; who could have killed such a figure?

Everyone was speculating.

In some major sects, many believed that the culprit was most likely the Black Shasa Sect.

Firstly, the Black Shasa Sect had the power. Secondly, they had the motive; the Heavenly Emperor had previously destroyed several branches of the Black Shasa Sect in anger, and these two forces had long been at odds.

So, it’s entirely possible that the Black Shasa Sect killed Di Nantian.

But the ones who truly understood the truth were the members of the Heavenly Palace themselves.

Initially, all the emperor’s sons united to capture Ye Qiu, after which Di Nantian promised to handle it alone.

Then, Di Nantian met his end.

Moreover, before Di Nantian’s incident, Di Cun and Di Huo had died successively, pointing to the real culprit — it was Ye Qiu’s doing.

Realizing that the person who killed Di Nantian was Ye Qiu, the emperor’s sons couldn’t believe this fact.

For the sake of the Heavenly Palace’s reputation, no one spread the word that Ye Qiu was responsible for Di Nantian’s death. If it spread in the ancestral land, it would only remain a disgrace to the Heavenly Palace, while Ye Qiu’s fame would explode.

So the Heavenly Palace said nothing about Di Nantian’s death.

But this doesn’t mean they would spare Ye Qiu; only that even supreme powerhouses had fallen to Ye Qiu, leaving the emperor’s sons within the Heavenly Palace frowning, worried about how to kill someone as powerful as Ye Qiu.

...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Several figures departed from the Southern Wilderness, all of them wounded. They came from major sects like the Taiyi Divine Sect, Demon God Sect, and Hunyuan Sect.

"Couldn’t capture those two subordinates of Ye Qiu?"

"There were powerful members of the Ancient Beast Tribe involved, making it impossible."

"This Ye Qiu is deeply connected with the Ancient Beast Tribe. If we can’t capture his two subordinates, we can’t force him to appear, which is quite a dilemma."

"Sir, what should we do next?"

"Sell this information to the Heavenly Palace. Since we can’t move against the Southern Wilderness’ Ancient Beast Clan, let’s have the Heavenly Palace intervene."

Similar conversations played out in various major sects.

Since the closure of the Star River Path, the geniuses within were sent out, and due to Ye Qiu’s connections, Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng naturally became targets for many.

Originally, according to Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng’s plan, they would leave the Star River Path and head eastward to find Ye Qiu.

At that time, Ye Qiu was preparing to leave quietly, but was stopped by a dozen or so heavenly-level powerhouses. Barely surviving, it was only with the appearance of that monstrous giant hand that Ye Qiu’s life was saved.

Later, Jin Shanshun and the others learned that this giant hand belonged to a formidable figure within the Star River Path, someone even the enforcers were reticent about, refraining from discussing or mentioning.

Where Ye Qiu was, whether he was alive or dead, Jin Shanshun and his group did not know. As they left the power of the Star River, they were preparing to investigate before being besieged by various major sects. Fortunately, at a critical moment, powerful members of the Ancient Beast Tribe appeared to defuse the crisis, and Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng had no choice but to follow the Beast God back to the Southern Wilderness to make further plans.

Di Nantian’s death became a mystery, causing a stir before gradually dying down.

At the same time, the discussions about the return of the geniuses reignited with fervor.

For no other reason than the talents returning from the Star River Path having greatly increased in strength, everyone was curious as to what level they had reached.

But soon, people discovered that the geniuses returning from the Star River Path were remarkably low-key, with no disturbances at all.

Logically, these geniuses’ return should have led to grand gatherings, especially in major sects like the Taiyi Divine Sect and Demon God Sect.

Yet there were none, all surprisingly quiet.

At this time, another piece of gossip emerged.

The Taiyi Saint Heir did not return and died within the Star River Path.

The figure acclaimed as the most gifted genius in history, the Taiyi Saint Heir, was he really dead?

This news once again shocked many Loose Cultivators and some sects.

In fact, the death of Taiyi was initially known only within the Taiyi Divine Sect in the ancestral land, with the information tightly sealed. Outsiders were unaware, but as many talents returned from the ancestral land, this news could no longer be hidden, which caused excessive shock.

The death of Taiyi naturally enraged the Taiyi Divine Sect the most; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent numerous heavenly-level powerhouses to the Star River Path to kill Ye Qiu.

These events were unknown to the Loose Cultivators on the ancestral land, as many occurrences on the Star River Path had yet to circulate.

However, over time, some information from the Star River Path began to surface.

Someone revealed the truth about Taiyi’s death, claiming it was by Ye Qiu’s hand.

Others disclosed that Ye Qiu had slain heavenly-level powerhouses, fighting against a dozen of them and surviving, among various explosive stories.

In short, among the many talents who went to the Star River Path for training, the most dazzling and attention-grabbing was only one person, Ye Qiu; neither Stone Demon Lord nor Lieyan Holy Son nor Free and Unfettered Holy Son could compare.

The people of the ancestral land were repeatedly stunned by news related to Ye Qiu.

They realized that the reason Ye Qiu became so powerful and dared to oppose the Heavenly Palace was due to his many astonishing deeds.

Facing Taiyi on the life-and-death platform, during the outbreak of the demon tide, fighting alone against numerous powerhouses, every seemingly certain death scenario was turned around by Ye Qiu.

Now, Ye Qiu was once again a topic of heated discussion.

The Stone Demon Lord and the Turquoise Pool, who should have been in the spotlight, were overshadowed by Ye Qiu.

Of course, what shocked these returning talents the most was that Di Nantian’s death was related to Ye Qiu.

"I thought once he left the ancestral land, everyone would target him, and he would die an untimely death, but I didn’t expect him to become even stronger." After hearing the sect leader and elders discuss the mystery of Di Nantian’s death, the Stone Demon Lord sighed, realizing that the distance between himself and Ye Qiu not only hadn’t closed but had become wider.

He was still struggling at the Supreme Saint level, while Ye Qiu had already killed heavenly-level powerhouses several times, and now, even the top heavenly-level experts seemed no match for him.

It can be said that the many talents who returned from the Star River Path were immediately inquiring about Ye Qiu’s news, and after hearing about Ye Qiu’s deeds, they all remained silent.

Compared to Ye Qiu, they were too dim and unremarkable.

In fact, they should have realized long ago that among their peers, Ye Qiu had already become invincible!
