Chapter 1926: Chapter 1926: Secret Observation, Top-Tier Sea Fish
Seeing Xiao Fangu, Ye Feng’s first reaction was that the other party was indeed Xiao Fangu.
Soon, Ye Feng noticed something was amiss.
Xiao Fangu surprisingly possessed the auras of Feng Chuan, the Peerless Beauty, Paper Fan Young Master, Zhu Yongfu, Dong Yuandong, and several Abyss Clan powerhouses.
One could say he was a massive potpourri.
"A fusion body?"
The idea popped into Ye Feng’s mind.
"That’s not right!"
Ye Feng suddenly remembered that Feng Chuan and the Peerless Beauty had already self-destructed, yet why did the current Xiao Fangu exhibit the origin aura of these two people?
Moreover, he also had their laws!
"Could it be that Xiao Fangu absorbed the origin of the laws that dispersed after Feng Chuan and the Peerless Beauty died and then fused with the likes of Zhu Yongfu?"
Ye Feng quickly guessed this.
And this nearly matched the facts.
Ye Feng attempted to deduce the course of events, but he found the images blurry and full of noise, seemingly interfered by a Supreme Treasure left by the Abyss Clan elder.
However, the very fact that he couldn’t deduce it made Ye Feng even more certain that this person was indeed a fusion body.
"What an Abyss Clan!"
"They can actually fuse multiple people to form a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level powerhouse. This person’s foundation is incredibly profound, managing to come close to one-tenth of mine!"
"This is truly astonishing!"
Ye Feng couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.
His usual combat strength was two hundred times that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme, and Xiao Fangu’s combat strength could keep up with about one-tenth of it, equivalent to over ten times an Ordinary Invincible Supreme.
Indeed, that was very powerful.
Looking across the entire universe, in a same-rank duel, even the Emperor Dragon Sovereign would not be a match for Xiao Fangu.
"I must keep a close eye on this person."
Ye Feng did not act immediately, firstly because he hadn’t confirmed the detailed coordinates of Xiao Fangu’s true form, and secondly, it wasn’t the right time.
In fact, Ye Feng could locate the real coordinates of all cultivators who refined the Void Heavenly Ancient Jade.
But, Xiao Fangu was somewhat special.
He had a Supreme Treasure from the Abyss Clan elder hidden on him, which could even interfere with the heavenly secrets, making it not difficult to change coordinates.
Therefore, it was very hard for Ye Feng to locate him.
In the Void Heavenly World, inside a certain Secret Realm.
Xiao Fangu was unaware that he had already been recognized by Ye Feng, and he continued comprehending the laws within the Secret Realm, preparing to further enhance himself.
The two laws were perfectly integrated, doubling his combat strength.
He possessed six laws, and if he elevated all to a hundred-layered and perfectly integrated them, the combat strength amplification could reach an astounding thirty-two times.
By then, he would become even more terrifying!
"My current regular combat strength is more than ten times that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme. Once I complete and perfectly integrate the remaining laws, my combat strength can double again, roughly equivalent to thirty-two times an Ordinary Invincible Supreme."
"Hehehe, how delightful this is!"
"With this combat strength, I should be able to measure up to a fraction of Ye Feng’s. Although I can’t defeat him, with this strength, it’s absolutely a certainty to prove my Dao."
Xiao Fangu started envisioning the future.
...
Near the One-Way Extraterritorial Gate.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei had been waiting.
Finally, several days passed.
The first Cosmic Sea Fish with cultivation level surpassing the Sixty-layered Immortal Emperor level appeared. It was a tuna, reaching ten thousand meters in length, with an indestructible surface.
However, Ye Feng merely swiped casually.
The tuna was immediately sliced into two, the cuts smooth as mirrors. Then, Ye Feng continued slashing until the tuna was crushed, subsequently compressing it with a gravitational field.
Crack...crack...
The flesh of the tuna continually burst, being refined and purified during this process, with lightning flashing on its surface, finally turning into a thumb-sized deep blue elixir.
"Eat it," Ye Feng tossed it casually.
The deep blue elixir was caught by Hu Feifei. She didn’t hesitate, consuming it in one gulp, allowing the rich Cosmic Origin to surge through her body, enhancing her cultivation level.
But, her cultivation level was extremely high.
That was the eighty-one-layered Immortal Emperor!
For her, even the energy from a Sixty-layered Immortal Emperor level pure Law Energy Being was just a drop in the ocean, providing only a slight increase.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei were very patient.
The two continued to wait.
In the Void Heavenly World, most Misty Sect members were training here, some engaging in life-and-death duels with other cultivators, while others challenged Primordial Fierce Beasts, their combat experience growing ever richer.
On the other side, the Primordial Ancient Star.
Below the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings.
"Fellow Daoists, I am Elder Gong Qingqiu, Chief Elder of the Misty Holy Sect. Today, I am here to announce that our sect will begin recruiting the Thirteenth-generation Disciples at the end of February."
Gong Qingqiu conveyed this news.
All at once, everyone was excited.
Joining the Misty Holy Sect meant starting as an Immortal Emperor, with rapid improvement, and having a top-tier powerhouse like Ye Feng in the universe as backup.
Countless people dreamed of joining the Misty Holy Sect.
Gong Qingqiu continued:
"Under the Sect Leader’s command, from today on, each generation’s recruitment will feature a regional selection mode. This means there will be allocations throughout the universe."
Everyone was surprised to hear this.
Gong Qingqiu added:
"The universe is divided into the Immortal Realm Division, the Three Thousand Realms Division, and the Starry Sky World three large regions, each having differing numbers of geniuses."
"The Sect Leader’s intention is for each of the three large divisions to recruit a certain number of disciples. Initially, the plan was to be even, but since the Misty Holy Sect belongs to Shenzhou Continent in the Starry Sky World, extra consideration will be given to the Starry Sky World."
"The Starry Sky World will recruit four thousand disciples per session. The Immortal Realm Division and the Three Thousand Realms Division will each recruit three thousand disciples per session."
Gong Qingqiu continued explaining.
Every region will be further subdivided, so that every Great Thousand World in the universe will, on average, recruit one person annually.
People were thrilled upon hearing this.
"Does that mean in our Dragon Emperor Realm, one person will be able to join the Misty Holy Sect annually? This is truly a godsend!"
"And so can our Heavenly Dragon Realm."
People from various worlds were all excited.
Previously, some Great Thousand Worlds didn’t have anyone join the Misty Holy Sect for consecutive years. But now, with the Misty Holy Sect changing its recruitment rules, on average, every Great Thousand World can recruit at least one person annually.
What does this mean?
That every Great Thousand World can produce at least one brand-new Immortal Emperor level powerhouse each year.
Gong Qingqiu added again:
"Starting today, our Misty Holy Sect will set up a recruitment point in every Great Thousand World, with personnel from Whitefloat City stationed there. Talents from nearby Lesser Thousand Worlds can also sign up nearby."
Afterwards, she continued to work diligently.
Powerhouses from various worlds also engaged with the stationed Whitefloat City Immortal Emperor in their worlds, collectively building a magnificent Holy Temple as the signing-up point.
Finally, Gong Qingqiu announced once more.
Every recruitment point is a testing point.
Talents from nearby worlds can sign up here annually, initially passing through the Fate Purple Gold Bell’s screening, then participating in subsequent selections. The one ranked first worldwide for the year can join the Misty Holy Sect.
Heavenly Dragon Great Thousand World.
Within a palace underground, a young man clenched his fists, exuding a Void Break Realm aura, and said solemnly to his family:
"Clan Leader, father, mother, rest assured, I will surely claim the first place in the world this year and successfully join the Misty Holy Sect."
Everyone nodded heavily, looking at him as a beacon of hope.
In other worlds.
Similar scenes were playing out continuously.
In the current Twin Universe, the name of the Misty Holy Sect was even comparable to the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, and countless determined individuals wished to join and bring honor to their family.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Centers had been built in the core of major worlds across the universe, named Misty Holy Temples, serving as signing-up and testing locations for the Great Thousand World beneath and all surrounding subsidiary worlds.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Dragon Great Thousand World.
Inside a Misty Holy Temple.
An old Immortal Emperor, responsible for overseeing the area, stood with hands clasped behind his back, overlooking the millions of young talents below.
These were all people who came to register.
"The competition is too fierce!"
The Immortal Emperor exclaimed.
"Haha, it’s still alright, the pressure of competition has always been this intense." A young man clad in Misty Holy Sect disciple garb said with a smile. He had just joined the Misty Holy Sect as a Twelfth Generation Disciple last year.
Recruiting disciples is of utmost importance.
Entrusting it to merely an Immortal Emperor of Whitefloat City was not something Gong Qingqiu would be comfortable with, so a Misty Holy Sect disciple would be placed in charge temporarily during the assessment.
"Look, that’s a disciple of the Misty Holy Sect!"
"I heard he’s only in his teens, about the same age as us, yet he’s already promoted to Immortal Emperor. This is the allure of joining the Misty Holy Sect."
"It’s truly enviable to the point of tears."
"Let’s go register first!"
"Only those who pass the Fate Purple Gold Bell test will qualify for the official assessment at the end of February."
The crowd surged forward, scrambling to register.
"Seeing them, it’s as if I see myself from last year. I hope everything goes smoothly!" The Misty Holy Sect’s Twelfth Generation Disciple sighed inspirationally.
If he hadn’t fought his way out of billions, he wouldn’t have become a disciple of the Misty Holy Sect.
And this directly changed his fate.
"Your Highness Lin Feng, you must be a Five-layered Immortal Emperor by now, right? In just over half a year since joining the sect, you’ve reached such cultivation level, truly formidable."
Praised the Immortal Emperor of Whitefloat City.
His name was Zhou Yuan, who until recently was only at the peak of Heavenly Immortal. He received a Nine-Turn Profound Pill upon being selected by Gong Qingqiu, becoming an Immortal Emperor.
The price was overseeing this Misty Holy Temple.
Of course, Zhou Yuan did not regret it.
Better a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
In Whitefloat City, Immortal Emperors were as common as cattle; he felt restricted there. In this world, there were only a few Immortal Emperors, making him an instant top contender.
Such contrast was indeed significant.
"By the way, Elder Gong told me that each year’s world number one can be chosen as an official disciple of our Misty Holy Sect, while those ranked second to eleventh can consider joining Whitefloat City and its Nine Satellite Holy Cities. So, in essence, each world recruits a total of eleven people annually."
Explained Lin Feng, a disciple of the Misty Holy Sect.
"Is that so?" The Immortal Emperor Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. Just then, his Identity Token flashed, and Gong Qingqiu’s voice came forth.
The content matched what Lin Feng had said.
"Haha, it seems the City Lord’s strategy is indeed brilliant, not only recruiting top talents from major worlds to refresh the Misty Holy Sect but also boosting Whitefloat City and the Nine Satellite Holy Cities."
Zhou Yuan stroked his long beard and chuckled.
This was actually Ye Feng’s arrangement.
Those who could pass the Fate Purple Gold Bell screening had a decent temperament and were loyal to the Misty Holy Sect, making them unlikely to become adversaries or undercover agents.
So, they could also be accepted into Whitefloat City.
Thus, Whitefloat City and the Misty Holy Sect were united as one, resolute and unwavering.
At this time, Lin Feng, the Misty Holy Sect’s Twelfth Generation Disciple, added, "Hall Master Zhou Yuan, Elder Gong mentioned that you messengers overseeing various Misty Holy Temples in different realms often feel lonely. Even if those who pass the Fate Purple Gold Bell test do not qualify to join the Misty Holy Sect or Whitefloat City, you may consider accepting them as disciples if you fancy any."
"Is that possible? That’s great!"
Zhou Yuan the Immortal Emperor laughed heartily.
Being among the top talents in this Great Thousand World and its affiliated worlds, they were certainly promising candidates. Recruiting some each year to serve as your disciples isn’t a bad idea.
Soon, their conversation spread out.
"World number one can join the Misty Holy Sect, those ranked second to eleventh can join Whitefloat City and its Nine Satellite Holy Cities. The remaining ones still have a chance of being selected as disciples by the Misty Holy Temple’s Hall Master!"
"The Hall Master of the Misty Holy Temple is indeed an Immortal Emperor. To become his disciple is a once-in-three-lifetimes opportunity."
The crowd buzzed with excitement.
Being ranked world number one was too difficult, but making it in the top teenage places seemed within reach.
Not only in this world.
In all the Great Thousand Worlds across the Universe, a Misty Holy Temple had been established, each stationed by an Immortal Emperor from Whitefloat City, all receiving similar news.
This excited countless top talents.
...
Near the One-Way Extraterritorial Gate.
Ye Feng had consecutively gathered hundreds of Immortal Emperor level cosmic fish at over sixty layers and over a dozen at seventy layers, all refined into Universe Origin Pills for Hu Feifei to absorb, allowing her to break through two realms.
As of now, she had reached an eighty-three layered Immortal Emperor.
During this time, Ye Feng also divided his attention to observe the Misty Holy Temples in various worlds across the universe, learning that the newly modified recruitment scheme was well-received, causing him to smile.
"Elder Gong, allow the Immortal Emperors stationed at the Misty Holy Temples to sell Void Heavenly Ancient Jade locally."
Ye Feng issued a new order.
The sales of Void Heavenly Ancient Jade had exceeded one hundred quintillion, yet countless cultivators in various worlds still didn’t possess it.
By leveraging the Misty Holy Temples set up in major worlds to sell Void Heavenly Ancient Jade, we can increase its availability.
This was also part of Ye Feng’s strategy.
By utilizing this method, all cultivators across the universe can possess Void Heavenly Ancient Jade, leading to an increasing number of practitioners entering the Void Heavenly World.
Wouldn’t that naturally generate Prestige Points?
Rumble!
At that moment, the Extraterritorial Gate suddenly trembled.
"Is a big catch coming?"
Ye Feng’s eyes twinkled.
Each time a top-tier cosmic fish passed through the Extraterritorial Gate, it caused similar violent tremors. With this thought, he gazed expectantly at the Extraterritorial Gate.
"Roar!"
An angry roar emanated from the passage of the One-Way Extraterritorial Gate, filled with pain, as if enduring unimaginable oppression and torment.
The next moment.
With a ’pop’, a light silhouette passed through the Extraterritorial Gate and quickly expanded to a length of a hundred thousand miles—an enormous colorful eel.
It opened its large mouth, appearing very distressed.
The divine soul within its brain had already been obliterated by the Cosmic Consciousness while traversing the universe passage.
It was now merely an empty shell.
"A Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Thunder God Eel!"
Ye Feng used the Eye of Insight to discern the detailed data of this creature, showing jubilant excitement.
"Wow, it truly is a great catch!"
Hu Feifei was also thrilled, licking her pink lips, eager to bite into the Thunder God Eel.
"Hehehe, once I devour this Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Thunder God Eel, I should break through to being a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor as well, right? Haha, awesome, totally exhilarating!"
Hu Feifei said triumphantly, hands on her waist.
"How can it be that easy?"
Ye Feng lightly twined his forefinger and middle finger of his right hand, gently tapping Hu Feifei’s forehead with his knuckles.
"Huh? Even that’s not enough?"
Hu Feifei looked surprised.
Ye Feng replied, feigning annoyance:
"Though you are also a life form of pure law energy, to directly break through to being a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, mere Universe Origin isn’t sufficient. You would still face bottlenecks. I need to refine a special Origin Divine Pill for you and integrate it with the Law of Power and other origins to help you break through."
"So that’s the way?"
Hu Feifei held her forehead, realizing the truth.
"What else would it be?"
After saying this, Ye Feng swept his sleeves, countless Sword Qi shattered the Thunder God Eel into fragments, which then compressed into a fist-sized Origin Divine Pill, stored in his minor universe.
The next moment.
The duo vanished into the void.
