Chapter 931: The Division Of Saints

When Yi Feng arrived at the Sword Valley, a large ship flying a red flag was sailing at full speed.

In the Heavenly Domain, the red flag symbolized power and authority.

It was the highest-ranking flag among all ships—white, green, blue, purple, and red. In the entire Heavenly Domain, only the ships of Heaven and Earth Island were qualified to fly the red flag.

Wherever this ship from Heaven and Earth Island passed, all other vessels made way for it.

"The red flag! A ship from Heaven and Earth Island! This is truly a rare sight!"

"Look at how fast it's moving. It seems to be in a hurry. I wonder what major event has occurred."

"Indeed, the Heavenly Domain has been quite turbulent lately!"

Many passing ships buzzed with excitement and curiosity as they witnessed the scene.

This wasn’t an isolated event. On multiple sea surfaces, ships from Heaven and Earth Island, flying the red flag, were spotted.

All of them were heading toward Heaven and Earth Island.

Heaven and Earth Island.

The largest force in the Heavenly Domain, with a history spanning over a hundred thousand years.

Aside from its profound heritage, Heaven and Earth Island was also known for the existence of a Saint.

Of course, this Saint from Heaven and Earth Island was different from the one who had appeared in the Nine Realms.

The Saint from the Nine Realms was chosen by the Heavenly Dao, a favorite of the heavens, infused with the power of the Heavenly Dao. Every word and action of this Saint could influence an entire world, and their awakening was often accompanied by grand celestial phenomena.

Some fortunate individuals might even achieve sainthood in a single day, completely bypassing the arduous cultivation process.

For example, in the history of Yunxing, there was once a renowned figure named Zhou Dajia.

Originally a famous physician, he lived during a time of war. Feeling that a physician's ability to save lives was limited, he abandoned medicine to pursue literature.

After turning to literature, he produced one shocking masterpiece after another, influencing people across the world.

From an ordinary mortal, he achieved the status of a Literary Saint in a single day, leaving a profound impact on the history of Yunxing.

Such a Saint was known as a True Saint.

The Saint from Heaven and Earth Island, however, had achieved sainthood through rigorous cultivation after reaching the Dao Confirmation Realm.

This type of Saint did not possess the ability to influence the world and was considered a Pseudo-Saint, with an insurmountable gap between them and a True Saint.

But whether a True Saint or a Pseudo-Saint, both were Saints.

There was no distinction between innate and acquired sainthood.

Thus, even though the Saint of Heaven and Earth Island was merely an acquired Pseudo-Saint, to the world, they were still an unimaginably terrifying existence.

Despite being such a colossal entity, Heaven and Earth Island was not as large as people imagined.

In fact, it was about the same size as Fengyue Island.

Outwardly, it looked no different from an ordinary island, appearing rather unremarkable.

If it weren’t for the ships flying the red flag docked at its port, no one would have guessed that this island housed a Saint.

At this moment, seven or eight ships docked at the port of Heaven and Earth Island.

These were the very ships that had caused a stir across the Heavenly Domain.

After the ships docked, numerous figures disembarked.

There was a spirited young man in white, a middle-aged man with an imposing aura, a charming and graceful woman, and a stunningly beautiful lady...

Each of them was a renowned figure in the Heavenly Domain.

For example, the young man in white, Qin Nan, was the top genius of the Heavenly Domain. Despite his youth, he had already reached the Dao Confirmation Realm and was widely recognized as the most promising candidate among the younger generation to achieve sainthood in the future.

The tall, exquisitely beautiful woman, Qin Zhiyu, was also among the top three of the younger generation in the Heavenly Domain. In addition to her talent, her beauty had earned her the title of "Heavenly Fairy" in the Heavenly Domain. This title was not one of those hollow regional accolades but a genuine recognition of her unparalleled charm and strength.

These two young individuals, Qin Nan and Qin Zhiyu, occupied two of the top three spots among the younger generation of the Heavenly Domain.

This alone spoke volumes about the prestige of Heaven and Earth Island, the foremost island in the Heavenly Domain.

The others were high-ranking members of Heaven and Earth Island, each capable of shaking the Heavenly Domain with a single step.

Seeing their return, the steward of Heaven and Earth Island hurried to greet them.

"Steward Qin, why has the island lord summoned us back in such a hurry? What has happened?" one of the middle-aged men asked anxiously as soon as he saw the steward.

This question echoed the thoughts of everyone present.

Not only had they been summoned, but they were also required to return at full speed—something unprecedented.

"Ah, esteemed lords, it wasn’t the island lord who summoned you. It was the Ancestor himself who called for your return!" Steward Qin explained urgently.

"What? The Ancestor himself summoned us?"

Hearing this, even these seasoned individuals, who had weathered countless storms, were momentarily stunned into silence.

It was the Ancestor—the legendary Saint—who had summoned them.

Even though they knew of the Ancestor's existence, many of the younger generation present had never even seen him.

"To think the Ancestor himself summoned us... What could have happened?" The young man in white, Qin Nan, suppressed his excitement and asked hurriedly.

"Ah, Young Master, how would a lowly steward like me know such things? Please, don’t delay any further. Head to the main hall immediately. The island lord is already waiting for you."

Steward Qin urged them on.

Not daring to waste any more time, the group hurried toward the Heaven and Earth Hall.

Inside the hall, a middle-aged man in a green robe was waiting.

His aura was profound, his face glowing with vitality, and his presence commanded respect. Though usually composed, today his expression betrayed a hint of urgency.

"Greetings, Island Lord."

The returning group finally arrived.

"No need for formalities. Has Steward Qin informed you of the situation?" Island Lord Qin Yi asked urgently as soon as they arrived.

"We have been briefed," they replied quickly.

"Since you all know, let’s not waste any more time. Follow me to see the Ancestor."

Qin Yi spoke with visible tension, then led the way.

The others followed nervously, not daring to make a sound. For many, this was their first time meeting the legendary Ancestor.

Deep within the hall, after passing through several layers of formations, they reached a seemingly bottomless passage.
