Supernatural Insight Eyes

Too arrogant!

Ye Qiu’s actions infuriated all the major sects, prompting them to send more people to search for him.

At this time, Ye Qiu was long gone from the ancestral land.

In the cosmos, Ye Qiu kept tearing through the void, moving swiftly.

He had destroyed all the branches of the major sects, which was a relief to his pent-up anger, but Ye Qiu did not intend to stop there.

He hadn’t ignored the Celestial Palace; his main target was still the Celestial Palace, with all the major sects coming after.

However, it was not suitable to attack the major sects again now; after all, having just destroyed their branches, if he showed up now, he’d surely be attacked madly since the sects hated him to death.

In contrast, the movements of the Celestial Palace weren’t as significant as before.

Thinking the Celestial Palace ignored him was something Ye Qiu wouldn’t believe, as the Celestial Palace was much stronger than the sects. The lack of movement now precisely indicated bigger plans were brewing.

Ye Qiu remained vigilant.

Given his prowess, wreaking havoc at the Celestial Palace headquarters was challenging, so Ye Qiu set his sights on other branches of the Celestial Palace.

Previously, he and his mentor Miao Shan jointly destroyed two branches of the Celestial Palace, in the domains under the control of Emperor Kun and Emperor Luan; the branches managed by Emperor Huo and Emperor Cun were destroyed by the joint effort of talents and elders from Dugu’s small world.

All in all, four branches of the Celestial Palace were destroyed.

Fourteen branches remained.

The area Ye Qiu was heading to now was under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Emperor’s fifteenth son, though Emperor Fifteen had long been killed.

The Celestial Palace should have sent someone else to manage the branch that Emperor Fifteen once governed.

Following the star map coordinates, Ye Qiu traversed the universe for quite some time before finally reaching his destination.

"It’s right here." Ye Qiu gazed at the Celestial Palace branch in front of him, his eyes sparkling.

Actually, every Celestial Palace branch looked more or less the same, with white structures, tall and magnificent, exuding grandeur, resembling a sky city floating in the air.

This was the branch once governed by Emperor Fifteen, but it was unknown who managed it now. With the Taihuang Bell, a hidden weapon, Ye Qiu’s thought moved, and the Taihuang Bell shrank to a grain of sand and then flew toward this Celestial Palace branch.

Bam...

Unexpectedly, just as the Taihuang Bell was about to sneak in, it was bounced away by a sudden burst of energy.

"Warning energy shield activated automatically, someone is trying to sneak in, get a few people to search the area thoroughly."

A middle-aged man appeared at the gate of the Celestial Palace branch, glanced at the continuously flashing energy shield, his expression changed, and immediately stood behind him was a row of Martial Artists who resembled guards.

Afterward, these guards began searching around.

Hidden within the Taihuang Bell, Ye Qiu frowned. He wasn’t afraid of being found by these people, but the difficulty in entering the Celestial Palace branch was troublesome. The sudden energy barrier could block the Taihuang Bell, even in its sand-like form.

"Looks like the Celestial Palace learned from the previous lesson, strengthening the defenses to prevent surprise attacks," Ye Qiu mused. Previously, he destroyed the Emperor Kun and Emperor Luan’s strongholds; the Celestial Palace branches back then didn’t have warning energy shields like today’s. Now, it seemed the Celestial Palace was preventing the possibility of being infiltrated by outsiders.

Moreover, it was evident the guards at the branch increased significantly. Previously, there were only a dozen or so, now there were over a hundred, each at the Ruins Realm level.

Using Ruins Realm Martial Artists as gatekeepers, only the Celestial Palace could have such a grand scale.

With this setup, it would be extremely challenging for Ye Qiu to sneak in.

Ye Qiu stayed still, and the sand-formed Taihuang Bell lay on the ground, unnoticed by the patrolling Celestial Palace guards.

After several rounds of patrol, the guards returned, but none of them relaxed, standing there, watching diligently, not even allowing a mosquito to fly in.

"If I can’t get in, it will be extremely difficult to destroy this place," Ye Qiu thought. Moreover, outside, he had no idea about the situation inside, like how many strong ones were there or their levels, leaving him in the dark.

If he recklessly took action, he might be besieged, especially since the destruction of four Celestial Palace branches previously taught the Celestial Palace a lesson, making them surely send out many strong practitioners to station at the branches now.

The exact number of strong practitioners here was something Ye Qiu couldn’t determine.

Since sneaking in using the Taihuang Bell would raise awareness, Ye Qiu had to abandon the idea temporarily, not wanting to leave just like that.

That left one option: wait!

Wait for timing, wait for opportunity.

Having decided, Ye Qiu stayed hidden within the Taihuang Bell, closing his eyes for some rest, occasionally opening them to observe the situation.

About seven or eight days later, Ye Qiu spotted something new; he noticed some Martial Artists, who had just broken through to the Void Shattering Realm, were able to enter the Celestial Palace branch.

Hmm?

Ye Qiu recalled when he sneaked into the Celestial Palace branches of Emperor Kun and Emperor Luan, overhearing the guarding sentries say that Martial Artists breaking into the Void Shattering Realm would move from their planet into the cosmos, virtually invincible. Because of their void shattering capabilities, they would naturally wish to explore higher martial realms, leaving their original planet was inevitable.

Upon arrival, the first striking sight would be the Celestial Palace branch.

The Celestial Palace could enhance itself by absorbing these talents from each planet, expanding its strength and nurturing Martial Artists who reached the Void Shattering Realm from different planets.

"If that’s the case, could I pretend to be a Martial Artist from a planet, who has just broken through to the Void Shattering Realm?"

Ye Qiu contemplated using this method to infiltrate the Celestial Palace. Though a good plan, there were flaws; exposure would mean great danger, akin to a wolf entering a tiger’s den.

Furthermore, forging a fake identity as a native and hiding it from those inside the Celestial Palace branch was uncertain, considering he wasn’t particularly familiar with the life-supporting planets around. If asked to speak a few native words by the Celestial Palace, he’d be exposed instantly.

Ye Qiu pondered for a long time and finally came up with a safe plan.

He then silently guided the Taihuang Bell away.

Not long after, the Taihuang Bell arrived near a vibrant planet.

Later, Ye Qiu changed his outfit, adding embroidery of the Celestial Palace emblem, slightly altering his appearance too.

And then he waited there, preparing to wait for a rabbit by the tree (waiting patiently for an opportunity).
