"That was right after the Purple Yang Divine Palace first opened. The twelve-day time limit had expired, and all of us had already walked out of the Purple Yang Divine Palace."
"However, we had a habit — we all wanted to personally witness the gates of the Purple Yang Divine Palace close before leaving. So that day, there were actually quite a few people present."
"But who could have imagined that the moment those gates shut, a giant hand tore through the void and descended from the sky, wrenching the immovable Purple Yang Divine Palace right up from the sea's surface."
"The instant the Purple Yang Divine Palace was lifted, tsunamis erupted, surging in every direction, with enormous waves even crashing up into the sky."
"Perhaps because they contained some sort of oppressive force, those waves were incredibly violent and possessed boundless destructive power."
"If the Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan hadn't been present that day and forcibly blocked those waves, I fear more than half the people there would have been killed or injured."
"However, even the Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan could only watch helplessly as the Purple Yang Divine Palace was taken away." Elder Ma Changchun said.
"So the Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan was there that day." Li Xiang's spirit lifted visibly — it was clear he hadn't known about the Clan Master's presence.
But Li Xiang was also filled with questions. "But if the Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan was there, why didn't he stop that person? He just watched as the Purple Yang Divine Palace was taken away?"
"The Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan is the strongest being in our Great Thousand Upper Realm. That is undisputed."
"However, even the Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan has always been powerless against the Six Great Divine Miracles."
"But that giant hand that descended from the sky wrenched the Purple Yang Divine Palace right out of the ground. The opponent's strength speaks for itself."
"The Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan knew very well that he was no match for that being, so naturally he wouldn't act rashly. Acting rashly would only bring disaster upon himself." Ma Changchun said.
"So that's how it was. My mistake."
Li Xiang scratched his head in embarrassment. He had come to a sudden realization and felt that Ma Changchun's reasoning made perfect sense.
Rushing to fight an opponent who could not be defeated was indeed an extremely irrational course of action.
As the ruler of the Great Thousand Upper Realm, the Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan naturally wouldn't make such a basic error.
"Senior, do you happen to know who that person was — the one who took the Purple Yang Divine Palace?" Chu Feng asked.
"No. He only revealed a single enormous hand that blotted out the sky, tearing through the heavens as it came, but his face was never shown."
"In fact, it couldn't even be determined whether he was a member of the human race. Everything was merely speculated based on that hand."
"This matter even alarmed the people of the Star Field Main Realm. The Star Field Main Realm sent investigators, but in the end, they couldn't uncover who was responsible." Ma Changchun said.
"The Star Field Main Realm?" Chu Feng asked.
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention. The Star Field Main Realm is the world where the ruler of our Star Field resides. It oversees countless upper realms, controlling everything like gods."
"To say something rather irreverent — even our Great Thousand Upper Realm's ruler, the Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan, would have absolutely no say in the Star Field Main Realm." Ma Changchun said quietly.
"In that case, that person truly is formidable." Chu Feng was extremely curious about who exactly had taken the Purple Yang Divine Palace.
"Chu Feng, could that hand that took the Purple Yang Divine Palace be the same giant hand that tore through the void over the Eastern Sea that day?" the Queen asked.
