Chapter 2107: The Tea Tree on the Wasteland
Chapter 2107: Chapter 2107: The Tea Tree on the Wasteland
On the wilderness.
Ye Feng, with hands behind his back, walked to Chu Tianlan’s side and slowly asked, "How is it, have you learned anything from that Sword Drawing and Heaven Cleaving Technique?"
"Yes, it impacted me greatly, I’m digesting it, hoping to gain some enlightenment." Chu Tianlan was always lost in the memory of that sword, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
"Slowly comprehend it!" Ye Feng patted Chu Tianlan’s shoulder, took away the corpses of Mu Shi and the nobleman, threw them into the Great Dao Treasure Vase for refining, and headed towards Soaring Sky City.
Chu Tianlan followed slowly.
At this moment, the scene of Ye Feng’s sword vanquishing Mu Shi kept replaying in his mind.
That sword was visually overwhelming!
"I feel I need to comprehend for a long time to understand its essence and master this top-tier Heavenly Venerable Level divine skill to exert an astonishing power."
Chu Tianlan thought to himself.
In his heart, Ye Feng’s status became even higher.
Outside the city tower of Soaring Sky City.
"Sect Leader!"
Lan Die quickly went up to him, followed by Tian Qi, Zhou Yan, Radiant Daoist, and others, all smiling at Ye Feng, thinking he was truly powerful.
"Ye Feng Dao Friend, unexpectedly, your combat power seems to have reached dozens of times that of ordinary Invincible Supremes, worthy of being called a top prodigy."
Fei Hong walked towards Ye Feng.
Others, seeing even Fei Hong praising Ye Feng, congratulated him, expressing that Ye Feng was very strong, they couldn’t believe he even slew the Mu Shi who was comparable to the Eighth-Turn Heavenly Venerate.
"You give me too much credit, Dao Friends."
Ye Feng didn’t show pride; his expression was always calm. To him, slaying a Mu Shi was not difficult; in a few months, when he ascends to the One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, he would be invincible within the Heavenly Venerable Realm!
"Ye Feng Dao Friend, you are amazing! What’s the name of that technique?" someone asked.
"Sword Drawing and Heaven Cleaving Technique," Ye Feng replied.
"That sword was really strong; I feel like you are a young Sword Venerable with an invincible style."
A certain prodigy exclaimed.
Sword Venerable, with the word "Venerable", means at least a top-tier hegemon at the Dao Venerable Realm.
Zhou Yan laughed and said, "In our Haizhou, Ye Feng carries the title of ’Feng Ye Sword Venerable’! Many strong people have high hopes for him, believing he might become a true Venerable in the future."
People from Haizhou believe Ye Feng can become an invincible strong Venerable among Supremes: Immeasurable.
Everyone was surprised by this comment.
They perceived Ye Feng as one considered to have the potential to ascend to Dao Venerable, but for Grand Dao Venerable or Boundless Venerable, it was beyond their imagination.
"Feng Ye Sword Venerable, a good name!"
"I think it suits Ye Feng Dao Friend very well."
Other prodigies praised.
At this time, a prodigy fond of composing poetry looked at Ye Feng’s handsome face and said, "I am inspired to compose half a poem on the spot, dedicated to Ye Feng Dao Friend."
"Oh, what kind of poem?"
Everyone was intrigued.
Even Ye Feng looked at this person, surprised.
The prodigy stepped three steps forward, holding a white paper fan, pointed towards the sky: "Striking across autumn waters three thousand miles, wielding the sword to vanquish a billion foes!"
"Good poem, good poem!"
The prodigies praised.
Ye Feng blinked, feeling the poem could only be described as average; if he were to compose one, it would be: "Flowers intoxicate three thousand guests, one sword chills fourteen states."
Of course, Ye Feng did not speak it aloud.
This prodigy being able to compose a poem for him was already very much appreciated; he did not wish to dampen others’ spirit.
"Haha, you all are so inspired, now that there’s time, how about going to Wangtian Tower for tea? Recently, I acquired a batch of peak stage Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves, they’re quite rare."
Fei Hong said to everyone.
Then he smiled at Ye Feng.
Currently, Ye Feng showcased combat power dozens of times that of ordinary Invincible Supremes, recognized by everyone as a top prodigy, and with everyone suspecting he may have backing from a hegemon-level power, he was taken very seriously.
In everyone’s eyes, Ye Feng’s status was not lower than Zhou Yan’s, deemed comparable.
"Wow!"
"Peak stage Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, I’ve heard it’s at least in the hands of Dao Monarch peak strong experts, mostly held by Dao Venerables."
"Today we are in luck!"
The prodigies grew excited.
Peak stage Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves, they were ones they could not taste frequently.
Among the crowd, Ye Feng looked perplexed.
Peak stage Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves?
He had plenty of them!
But this could not be revealed.
Zhou Yan, Tian Qi, and Radiant Daoist all inadvertently glanced at Ye Feng, for they knew Ye Feng has a peak stage Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree; they often get to drink this sort of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure too, but did not make it public.
Half a quarter-hour later.
At the peak of a ninety-nine-story tall tower.
Everyone sat around the outdoor platform’s fire stove, using scorching Spiritual Liquid to brew Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves, making them emit a captivating aroma.
"Really nice, full of flavor."
Ye Feng sipped and felt the taste seemed purer than his own Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree’s leaves, indicating they were of higher age.
"It’s probably the second transformation."
Ye Feng thought to himself.
The Three Realms Universe’s Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree was only transformed for the first time into peak stage, while the leaves from Fei Hong’s hand should have undergone a second transformation.
Otherwise, the taste would not be as good.
"I also need to find a time to help my Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree undergo the second, third... up to the ninth transformation, enhancing the tea leaves’ quality."
Ye Feng thought inwardly.
After nine transformations, the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree is guaranteed to ascend to the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.
During the transformations, there is some probability of prematurely ascending to the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.
However, the probability is very low.
According to Ye Feng’s knowledge, those peak stage Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Trees in the world basically ascend after the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree undergoes nine transformations.
"Wow, really delicious!"
"I feel like I’m floating."
The other prodigies drank the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, their bodies exuding seven-colored divine light, their enlightenment temporarily soared ten times or even more, and the problems that usually troubled them were solved at this time, helping them break through.
Rumbling!
"Everyone, excuse me for a moment." A five-turn Heavenly Venerable peak prodigy stood up, with pale golden lightning emerging above his head, and tribulation clouds forming in the sky.
This is going to break through the tribulation field.
"I should go and break through too." Soon, another six-turn Heavenly Venerate prodigy flew away.
Most people did not break through.
These two were only a step away originally, drinking the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, and then broke through accordingly.
At the seat.
Ye Feng was drinking tea, then sent a drop of tea into the Three Realms Universe to let his Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree analyze, acquiring the method for the second transformation.
"Master, this is indeed a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree with a second transformation; if I could approach this Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree closely, I could acquire the method. Simply studying tea water is not enough to obtain the method."
The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree responded.
"I must ask." Ye Feng nodded secretly and asked Fei Hong, who was seated in the main seat, "Brother Fei Hong, where did these tea leaves come from? I am very curious about the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree. Could you introduce me so that I may gaze upon it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped their discussion and looked towards Fei Hong at the main seat.
They also wanted to gaze upon the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.
Fei Hong put down his teacup and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you really want to see it? However, that place is an ancient forbidden zone, fraught with danger."
"Oh?" Everyone was even more intrigued.
Fei Hong seriously said, "It’s a Peak Stage Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree that has undergone two transformations, and it has reached this realm through its own cultivation, growing at the junction of Yunzhou, Haizhou, and Qingzhou, possessing the strength of a Dao Monarch, extremely powerful."
Pausing, he continued to explain.
Only then did everyone learn that the area at the junction of Yunzhou, Haizhou, and Qingzhou is an ancient wilderness with natural prohibitions that can prevent Dao Monarchs and above from entering.
And that Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree is a genuine Dao Monarch; even though it’s only at the initial stage, it can crush any Heavenly Venerable strongman.
All these years.
The City Lord of Soaring Sky City often sent numerous Peak Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable experts into the wilderness to pick tea leaves.
Initially, harvesting was not successful.
Quite a few Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerables were killed by the Enlightenment Tea Tree.
However, later, the City Lord of Soaring Sky City took out some treasures useful to the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree and entrusted Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerables to give them to the tea tree, reaching an understanding.
Every once in a while, Soaring Sky City could send someone to pick tea leaves, but they also needed to exchange with treasures.
"I see!"
"I never thought there would be a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree in this world that can cultivate automatically, and it has already grown to the Dao Monarch realm."
"Can we go and pick tea leaves?"
The geniuses were extremely curious.
Fei Hong nodded and said, "You can; our Soaring Sky City has already reached a cooperation with that tea tree senior. As long as you offer enough treasures, you can enter."
"Could we arrange a meeting now?"
The geniuses were eager to fly over immediately.
"Sure, no problem." Fei Hong nodded, glancing at the time, "Now, there are still several days until the grand gathering; it’s enough time for us to take a trip to the Tea Tree Wilderness."
"Good, let’s set off in the afternoon!"
The geniuses were eager to try; they also needed to send the message to their own Dao Monarchs. Once they provide the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they can exchange them for a large number of Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves from the Dao Monarch Tea Tree.
"Shall we go?" Zhou Yan transmitted his voice.
"Let’s go." Ye Feng nodded, "I want to consult that Dao Monarch tea tree senior to explore how to push my Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree into the second transformation."
"Good, then let’s go together." Tian Qi also transmitted his voice.
Radiant Daoist remained silent.
He is a peak-stage Dao Monarch hegemon and can’t enter that wilderness, so he can only wait outside.
Later, the geniuses dispersed to contact their elders and prepare more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
In Soaring Sky City.
Because Ye Feng had slain Mu Shi with one sword, and with someone fanning the flames, the title "Feng Ye Sword Venerable" spread, along with the poem "Sweeping Across Autumn Waters for Three Thousand Miles, Swinging the Sword to Annihilate Countless Enemies". This increased Ye Feng’s fame, bringing in countless Prestige Points.
[Prestige Points +2.1 billion]
[Prestige Points +2.3 billion]
Listening to the prompt sounds in his ears, Ye Feng was secretly delighted.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.
The geniuses returned and gathered in front of the Young City Lord’s Mansion of Fei Hong.
"Everyone, let’s go!"
Fei Hong led Ye Feng and hundreds of geniuses from various hegemon-level powers on their journey, entering the Transporting Holy Temple of Soaring Sky City, and soon arriving in a large city closest to the Tea Tree Wilderness.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After arriving, they set off without stopping.
One hour later.
They finally arrived at the junction of Yunzhou, Haizhou, and Qingzhou, a wilderness extending over hundreds of millions of miles, ancient and wild.
The deeper they went, the stranger the aura became.
Tea Tree Wilderness’s inner layer.
Upon reaching this place, they discovered a misty, light purple fog that covered a vast area of a million miles, looking daunting.
"This is the forbidden zone; those above Dao Monarch cannot enter, even Dao Venerables cannot enter, and it has been tried by others."
Fei Hong said in a deep voice.
The secret about the Five-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree couldn’t be concealed. An ancestor of a city within the top ten hegemon powers of Yunzhou, being in the Dao Venerable Realm, had once come to this Tea Tree Wilderness to explore but couldn’t enter the forbidden zone.
Helpless, this Dao Venerable forcefully claimed this area under his name and handed it over to the City Lord of Soaring Sky City, his disciple, to manage.
"I see, Young Master Fei Hong’s father actually has a master in the Dao Venerable Realm."
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Your background doesn’t seem inferior to that of Miaoyin Fairy and the Young Lord of Shenque City, right?"
"My apologies, my apologies!"
The geniuses teased.
Fei Hong smiled bitterly, "Not at all, my father is just one of that Dao Monarch’s many disciples and not a bloodline descendant. In this age of reliance on connections, only the links of direct lineage are the most secure; if our Soaring Sky City offends a certain Dao Venerable, my father’s master may not be willing to stand up for us."
Zhou Yan said, "Your father is ultimately a disciple of some Dao Venerable; with this connection, other peak-stage Dao Monarchs wouldn’t dare provoke your Soaring Sky City."
"Yes, that is true." Fei Hong nodded, looking at the purple mist ahead, "Let’s go, we should present our gifts to the Dao Monarch tea tree."
"Alright." Everyone began to move.
Outside the mist.
Radiant Daoist stood there, watching as everyone entered the mist, soon leaving him alone.
"What a fate!"
He was helpless and depressed; being a peak-stage Dao Monarch, he couldn’t enter. He attempted to step into the purple mist but encountered resistance. After a few steps inward, he could no longer move forward.
Hence, he hid under a large tree at the mist’s edge, quietly waiting for Ye Feng’s return.
Deep within the mist.
There were many beasts here, but they were only at the Heavenly Venerable level. Facing the top-notch geniuses led by Fei Hong, Zhou Yan, and Tian Qi, numbering over a hundred, they were completely powerless.
The group swept through effortlessly.
One hour later.
The purple mist before them fully dispersed, revealing a vast grassland spanning tens of thousands of miles. In the center stood a towering Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, about a hundred thousand meters high.
It rooted deeply in the soil, lush and vibrant, with seven-colored flows of light shimmering around it, akin to strips of divine dragons, both sacred and inviolable.
A field pressure of the Dao Monarch realm gradually spread, enveloping the area for tens of thousands of miles.
"Wow, this is the Dao Monarch tea tree ancestor!"
"Indeed, amazing."
"I feel that just inhaling the fragrance of the tea leaves from the Dao Monarch tea tree ancestor’s body from afar makes my wisdom soar, truly intoxicating!"
The geniuses couldn’t stop praising.
This was intentional, aiming to give the Dao Monarch realm Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree a good impression.
"Such flatterers!" Ye Feng twitched his lips, feeling that these people were truly a lively bunch.
Then, he looked at the Dao Monarch tea tree.
In the Three Realms Universe.
The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree had just awakened, releasing strands of unique origin, manifesting on Ye Feng’s brow, drawing the attention of the Dao Monarch tea tree.
