Chapter 2161: Years of Rapid Development
Chapter 2161: Chapter 2161: Years of Rapid Development
Ye Feng was caught off guard.
The Young City Lord of Shenque City... just died like that?
In fact, Ye Feng had a grudge against him, but it wasn’t to the point of life and death.
And the true grudge was with his father.
The City Lord of Shenque City.
Of course, the City Lord of Shenque City has already committed suicide, solving the grudge, with no enmity remaining.
"However..."
"The City Lord of Shenque City went to disclose my information to the branch leader of Dark Night Pavilion, and now, the City Lord of Shenque City has committed suicide, and his son has also been harvested."
"Could this be fate?"
"It seems that there is divine intervention at work, as this is the normal path of every timeline. If you change the path, you can obtain feedback from the source of time."
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
As for the death of the Young City Lord of Shenque City, Ye Feng only felt a slight sense of wonder, then put it aside.
What is truly worth noting is the Dark Night Pavilion.
"Sect Leader, someone is here to visit."
Fox Da Hong came nearby.
"Who is it?" Ye Feng was surprised. Since the Annihilation Dao Venerable was subdued by him and the Wood Elemental Dao Origin Killing Formation was set up near Spirit Turtle Island as the Sect Protection Array, visitors have been coming one after another—it’s already over the hundredth batch.
"Miaoyin Fairy." Fox Da Hong said.
"Not seeing her." Ye Feng waved his hand.
This woman is no good.
"Okay!" Fox Da Hong nodded, holding a large duck leg in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, hopping away from the mountain gate and landing on the ground.
"Our Sect Leader is not accepting visitors."
After saying this, Fox Da Hong just continued eating his duck leg.
"What? He doesn’t want to see me? Tell him I’m here to have an in-depth exchange of cultivation insights. Can’t he see me for that?"
Miaoyin Fairy licked her lips, throwing a seductive glance.
She was hinting in that regard.
But Fox Da Hong thought Miaoyin Fairy was eyeing his big duck leg, so he quickly hid the duck leg behind him, and warned, "Why are you after our Sect Leader and my duck leg?"
Miaoyin Fairy felt frustrated enough to vomit blood.
Duck leg?!
Are you kidding me? I, as the Miaoyin Fairy under the Ancestral Patriarch of Miaoyin Workshop, representing Miaoyin Workshop’s reputation, wouldn’t care about your duck leg.
"Hmph, I meant for you to report again to Sect Master Ye, saying I want to see him."
"Sect Leader said, no visitors."
"Report again."
"Sect Leader said, no visitors."
"I’ll give you a hundred thousand duck legs!"
Upon hearing this, Fox Da Hong’s eyes lit up, initially wanting to accept Miaoyin Fairy’s offer, but recalling that Ye Feng had said no visitors, he shook his head again.
"It’s so frustrating, truly impenetrable."
Miaoyin Fairy was denied at the gate, secretly gritting her teeth, but had to leave to avoid angering Ye Feng on the mountain and being suppressed.
"Da Hong, please report."
At this time, Zhou Yan arrived at the foot of the mountain, handing Fox Da Hong a large box of roasted duck legs.
"Okay!"
Fox Da Hong grabbed the duck leg, returned to the peak, and shortly came down, indicating that a visit was allowed.
Seeing this, Miaoyin Fairy was dumbfounded.
"Damn it! Zhou Yan is merely the son of Zhou Jian, Sect Master of the Chaos Dao Sect, a force without even a Dao Venerable. Why can he meet with Ye Feng?"
Miaoyin Fairy was very unwilling.
"Young Master Zhou, please wait!"
Miaoyin Fairy made large strides, walking alongside Zhou Yan with a charming expression.
"Miaoyin Fairy, is there something?"
Zhou Yan frowned.
Back at Soaring Sky City, when Fei Hong hosted the young generation gathering, Miaoyin Fairy and the Young City Lord of Shenque City entered one after another, threatening everyone not to participate in the fight for the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb token, leaving a bad impression.
"I want to climb the peak with you and visit Sect Master Ye. Can you give me a lift?"
Miaoyin Fairy licked her red lips.
Her seductive demeanor made even Zhou Yan feel a bit unease, wanting to embrace her affectionately. But the chaotic aura in Zhou Yan washed over him, and his divine soul immediately regained clarity. He shook his head, "No time."
With that, he and Fox Da Hong ascended the peak.
"So frustrating!"
Miaoyin Fairy watched the receding figures of Zhou Yan and Fox Da Hong and could only walk away.
After her, many others came to visit.
Currently, looking over Haizhou, aside from the mysterious Invincible Old Man, the most worthy force for connections in everyone’s eyes is the Misty Holy Sect.
After all, there’s Radiant Daoist, the hegemonic-level expert at the peak of Dao Monarch Realm, as well as the newly-arrived mid-peak Dao Venerable, Annihilation Dao Venerable, and the Wood Elemental Dao Origin Killing Formation.
And...
The promising Ye Feng.
Many Dao Venerables came in admiration.
Miaoyin Fairy was internally frustrated and angry but realized Ye Feng was not someone she could offend now, so she subdued her flag and went away quietly.
At the peak of Spirit Turtle Island’s main peak.
Ye Feng, Zhou Yan, Tian Qi, Zhou Jian, Jade Capital Ancestor, and others were all there, discussing important matters.
"Fellow Daoists, given the matter of the Young City Lord of Shenque City being harvested, what are your thoughts?"
Ye Feng looked around.
"Naturally, we should raise an army to attack and eradicate Dark Night Pavilion, lest innocent prodigies be harvested."
"No!"
"Why not?"
"The Dark Night Pavilion’s headquarters is in Tianzhou, with a Grand Dao Venerable in charge. It’s not something we can take down."
"That’s right, do not act rashly."
Everyone discussed heatedly.
Ye Feng sat at the head position, saying, "Dark Night Pavilion is a large force, with intricate connections behind it. This force harvesting so many prodigies’ corpses, selling them to countless powerhouses, is entangled beyond clarity, making it tough."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
Dark Night Pavilion has a Grand Dao Venerable in charge, truly difficult to handle.
And they now, the strongest is merely the mid-peak Annihilation Dao Venerable, unable to rival a Grand Dao Venerable.
Plus, the enemy is in the dark.
It’s too challenging to deal with them.
"This matter needs long-term planning. Fellow Daoists, in the coming period, focus on your cultivation!"
Ye Feng stated.
Everyone nodded.
Currently, they are within the Wood Elemental Dao Origin Killing Formation, capable of receiving numerous Wood Elemental Laws, along with many insights from Source Laws, and equipped with the Time Acceleration Altar crafted by Ye Feng. In seclusion, they can rapidly break through realms.
Zhou Yan, Tian Qi, Zhou Jian, Tian Heng, and others all chose to retreat here for breakthroughs.
"Fellow Daoists, I’m going into seclusion."
Ye Feng needed to quickly break through as well, and after chatting with everyone for half a day, he returned to the Shenzhou Continent within the universe.
He sat under the massive Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.
"In the coming period, seclusion!"
With the Wood Elemental Dao Origin Killing Formation around, the sect base on Spirit Turtle Island is very safe, unless a strong Grand Dao Venerable attacks, it’s impossible to breach the formation.
But how would a Grand Dao Venerable dare to come here to die?
This place is Haizhou!
The hiding place of the Invincible Old Man.
Dao Venerables occasionally visiting is fine, but if a Grand Dao Venerable comes to make trouble, they’ll surely be killed.
"Let’s visit other Level Five timelines."
Ye Feng murmured, opening the Land of Void, seeing numerous white Level Five timelines, choosing one to enter, continuing to provide systems to the cultivators there.
Immediately, he went into seclusion for arduous cultivation.
Months later.
Ye Feng successfully broke through to the Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable but still hadn’t felt a bottleneck, so he continued breaking through.
Others were also in seclusion.
For the coming years, nothing happened.
In the Misty Holy Sect, disciples are recruited every year, and it has already reached the thirtieth generation.
In another year, the thirty-first generation of disciples can be recruited and they will be considered grand-disciples.
And on this day.
Above Spirit Turtle Island, a vast thunder tribulation erupted, attracting the attention of all cultivators in Haizhou.
"Look, it’s coming from the direction of the Misty Holy Sect."
"Such a vast thunder tribulation, is someone attesting to the Dao Venerable? Is it Sect Master Ye?"
The crowd buzzed with speculation.
Yet, no one knew what was happening.
Wave after wave of thunder tribulation continued endlessly; nearby spiritual energy surged, and the heavens and earth changed color.
Some great elders watched from afar and were stunned.
"It’s Sect Master Zhou Jian of the Chaotic Dao Sect, and the Radiant Daoist, both attesting to the Dao Venerable!"
"It’s actually them!"
"If so, will the Misty Holy Sect have another Dao Venerable besides the Annihilation Dao Venerable?"
Besides them, others were also breaking through.
Mo Ying, Shi Lei, Hu Feifei, and others were now all striving for the peak of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, and have already succeeded. They were undergoing tribulation and would soon stabilize their cultivation levels.
Rumble!
A dull sound spread, and everyone saw above Spirit Turtle Island, a Twin Universe appearing, condensing the Twelfth Cosmos Ring.
"He’s breaking through the limit!"
The crowd exclaimed in amazement.
Days later, Tian Heng’s Twelfth Cosmos Ring became incredibly solid. He began to shatter the Twelve Cosmos Rings, creating high pressure to crush the entire universe.
The next moment.
A brilliant golden radiance burst forth, a brand new universe was born, neither a Chaos Universe nor the former Twin Universe, but a Gold System Law Universe.
A type of aggressive universe.
"I have rebuilt after breaking, and finally become the overlord Dao Monarch, hahaha..."
Tian Heng laughed heartily.
Being trapped at the peak of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable for so many years, he finally broke the limit, ascended to Dao Monarch, and shattered the curse of the internal universe system not being able to break through to Dao Monarch.
Although he had already learned that there was actually no such curse on cultivators of the internal universe system.
"Congratulations to father for ascending to Dao Monarch!"
Tian Qi congratulated loudly.
Over the years, he had successfully condensed the Eleventh Cosmos Ring and, with one more step, would become a Dao Monarch.
Beside him, Zhou Yan was the same.
He had already ascended to Half-Step Dao Monarch.
With one more step, he would become a Dao Monarch.
As everyone steadily advanced, Ye Feng on the Shenzhou Continent also finally opened his eyes.
"Alas, I failed."
Ye Feng muttered helplessly.
Just now, it was his fifth attempt at the Tenth Cosmos Ring, but found it failed to condense, with some mysterious force blocking his breakthrough.
This was the so-called curse.
It only targeted him.
"How frustrating!"
Ye Feng was helpless.
Over the years, despite needing substantial energy for each minor breakthrough, the abundant energy from the Land of Void still pushed him to the level of Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, possessing nine Cosmos Rings.
Alas, the Tenth Cosmos Ring was difficult to condense.
Every time, just as it condensed, it was devoured by a strange force, causing it to collapse and preventing a breakthrough.
"I need to change my method."
Ye Feng murmured.
He opened the Source of Time panel.
[Source of Time: 37.2K / 100K]
Over the years, he selected system hosts from countless Level Five and Six time lines, successfully acquiring a significant amount of the Source of Time, activating and mastering the contents of the Fourth-Tier Space-Time Codex.
Currently, he could enter the Fourth-Level Timeline.
If he gathered another hundred thousand points of the Source of Time, he could unlock the Third-Tier Space-Time Codex and enter the Third-Level Timeline.
"I want to see if the stored thirty thousand points of the Source of Time can help me break through my limits."
Ye Feng clenched his fist.
"Sacrifice, ten thousand points of the Source of Time!"
[Source of Time: 27.2K / 100K]
As ten thousand points of the Source of Time evaporated, Ye Feng was enveloped in multicolored lights and once again began devouring the Primordial Source and Chaos Origin of the Land of Void, attempting to condense the Tenth Cosmos Ring.
Buzz!
As Ye Feng exerted his effort, the Tenth Cosmos Ring successfully condensed its phantom. At this moment, an eerie wave of temporal energy surged to destroy it.
"Break it!"
Fortunately, Ye Feng activated the ten thousand points of the Source of Time surrounding him to annihilate the temporal energy wave, buying time.
Rumble!
Ye Feng successfully condensed the Tenth Cosmos Ring, his expression brightened as he faced the tribulation.
"Hahaha, success!"
Ye Feng licked his lips.
This time, to condense the Tenth Cosmos Ring, he expended ten thousand points of the Source of Time. He feared that the next condensation of the Eleventh Cosmos Ring might require a hundred thousand points.
To condense the Twelfth, it might take a million points.
This was no small number!
"Fortunately, as long as I have the Source of Time, I can continually break my limits, with the Dao Monarch in sight."
Ye Feng clenched his fist, officially concluding his seclusion.
Above Spirit Turtle Island.
Ye Feng stood there, gazing at the sky, noticing countless disciples undergoing tribulation. Some were striving for Heavenly Venerable, others for higher-level Heavenly Venerable, each with solid foundations.
The highest cultivation levels, like Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others, had already reached the peak of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable.
With one more step, they would be in the Dao Monarch Realm.
This made Ye Feng very pleased.
Half a month later.
The breakthroughs of all present concluded, and they sat in the sect main plaza, looking toward the main seat.
Ye Feng was sitting there.
After several years of seclusion, he leapt from a Sixth-Turn Heavenly Venerable to the peak of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, successfully condensing the Tenth Cosmos Ring, initially breaking through the limit.
Meanwhile, elite disciples like Mo Ying and others had also broken through to the peak of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, with the Dao Monarch Realm in sight.
The Annihilation Dao Venerable remained at the mid-peak of the Dao Venerable level.
At his level, breakthroughs were exceedingly difficult.
The Radiant Daoist, however, broke through to the initial state of the Dao Venerable, sitting behind Ye Feng as the top enforcer of the Misty Holy Sect.
Ye Feng surveyed his surroundings.
In recent years, several generations of disciples were recruited, with the weakest at Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, most having broken through to Heavenly Venerable, each energetic and vigorous, leaving Ye Feng very satisfied.
The older disciples had all broken through to Heavenly Venerable.
This brought Ye Feng a substantial cultivation boost.
"Everyone, cheers!"
Ye Feng raised his glass, hiding what he wanted to say over the years in his drink, and toasted with everyone.
"Cheers!"
The crowd drank heartily, smiles covering their faces.
In the past few years, they lived secluded lives, either practicing in the Mind Cultivation Tower or in the Blood Moon Trial Ground, rarely even leaving Haizhou, resulting in rapid breakthroughs.
Now, with the sect leader’s emergence from seclusion, they realized it might be time to set out on journeys.
"These years, you have all worked hard."
"Next year, we will recruit the thirty-first generation of disciples. From this generation, they will be considered grand-disciples and will call you master or martial uncle. I want to entrust the recruitment of the new disciples to you. Can you handle it?"
Ye Feng declared loudly, looking around.
The crowd, hearing this, was curious.
Let them recruit new disciples?
But, how should they go about it?
