When Ye Feng first arrived in Shenzhou, even the Celestial Clan's Saintly Venerable said that Shenzhou was a genuine part of the Great Thousand World.
However, the cosmic rules specified that only three thousand great worlds could exist, making it impossible for there to be a three thousand and first.
At that time, the Saintly Venerable speculated that they had arrived in another universe, where the Heavenly Dao Realm didn't temporarily exist.
Because of this,
the Saintly Venerable had always wanted to completely occupy the Shenzhou Continent, and plunder the quota for the Heavenly Dao Realm that might exist in this universe.
Once he succeeded in breaking through the realm, he would become the tenth Heavenly Venerable!
Then, the enemies at the other end of the universe would be as fragile as paper to him, easily crushed at will.
