Chapter 3999: The Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 Years Ago

One of the forces in the Green Province Mansion had already hidden their trump card. Who knew if the others were doing the same? Although monstrous talents were not common, out of so many forces, there was bound to be more than one who had a trump card. In fact, Duan Ling Tian thought that it was possible that the other four forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion had trump cards up their sleeves as well. There was a possibility that Wanqi Hong might not be the Wanqi clan’s most outstanding prodigy below the age of 10,000.

Saying that, previously, Zhen Ping Fan had also told Duan Ling Tian that it would be difficult for the other forces to hide such a matter from the Pure Yang Sect. Based on Zhen Ping Fan’s words, the Pure Yang Sect even knew about the number of illegitimate children that the Clan Leader of the Wanqi clan had. The Pure Yang Sect was even aware of the inner conflicts between the Emperors of Gods in the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice. With this, he knew that the Pure Yang Sect had planted many spies in the four major forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Conversely, he also knew the other forces must have planted spies in the Pure Yang Sect as well. However, he was not sure if their network was as wide as the Pure Yang Sect. After all, Zhen Ping Fan had said the other four forces’ intelligence network was not as good as the Pure Yang Sect. As the oldest force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, the Pure Yang Sect had generations to build their network.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Based on Elder Zhen’s words, there shouldn’t be any more surprises from the Eastern Ridge Mansion. However, we don’t know about the other Mansions…”

“Elder Zhen, how long will it take for us to arrive in the Profound Jade Mansion? And where will the Seven Mansions Feast be held in the Profound Jade Mansion?”

At this time, they had been traveling in the Green Province Mansion for half a month now and had yet to leave the Green Province Mansion. During this time, Lan Zheng Ming had been enthusiastically explaining the customs in the Green Province Mansion and the stories of the major forces here, keeping the young disciples entertained. For this reason, all of them found him very kind and amiable.

Zhen Ping Fan said, “Usually, it wouldn’t take so long. However, we still have a lot of time left. We’ll arrive in a month or two.”

At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly recalled something. He asked, “Elder Zhen, 10,000 years ago, Elder Ye and you weren’t even 10,000 years old, right? Did both of you participate in the Seven Mansions Feast as well?”

10,000 years ago, Zhen Ping Fan and Ye Chen Feng were below the age of 10,000 so they were eligible to participate in the Seven Mansions Feast at that time.

“Yes, we did participate in the Seven Mansions Feast,” Zhen Ping Fan said. His gaze was slightly complicated as he glanced at Ye Chen Feng, who was sitting cross-legged nearby. He continued to say, “I ranked 12th during the Seven Mansions Feast, and Junior Uncle Ye ranked somewhere below the 20th place.”

Duan Ling Tian was shocked that Zhen Ping Fan did not rank in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast. He was even more shocked that Ye Chen Feng ranked below the 20th place. He could not conceal his shock as he asked, “What happened?”

After all, Zhen Ping Fan was the strongest person in the Pure Yang Sect below the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods in the Pure Yang Sect. As for Ye Chen Feng, he was the Pure Yang Sect’s most outstanding prodigy, becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods at such a young age. However, none of them ranked in the top ten, and one of them even ranked below the 20th place. How could Duan Ling Tian not be shocked?

Zhen Ping Fan was not surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s reaction. He could naturally see through Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts. He asked with a smile, “Based on my and Junior Uncle Ye’s current achievements, do you find it hard to believe that none of us ranked in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Zhen Ping Fan shook his head and said, “The truth is Junior Uncle Ye and I only made rapid progress after passing the age of 10,000. This is especially true for Junior Uncle Ye who came from the lower realm. When he participated in the Seven Mansions Feast, he had only just become an intermediate Lord of Gods. His cultivation base was comparable to yours now, but his comprehension wasn’t as profound as yours. In fact, he only managed to rank in the top 30 due to him mastering the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao. I understand how you feel now. Those who were unaware of this matter were shocked as well when they found out.”

After a brief pause, Zhen Ping Fan continued to say, “In other words, one’s achievements before the age of 10,000 aren’t an indication of their life achievements. In contrast to my and Junior Uncle Ye’s case, there were those who ranked in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago who are now weaker than I am, let alone Junior Uncle Ye. Some of them had even passed away. My father used to say that I might have ranked in the top 3 if I didn’t waste my time and focused on cultivating instead. At that time, I was very persistent about comprehending different kinds of laws because I wanted to see if I could increase my strength by combining different laws. Alas, my experience failed. It’s truly impossible to cast more than one law at the same time. Even those from the lower realm aren’t exempted from this rule even if they could use doppelgangers of a different law.” A bitter smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, “I still can’t figure out why I wasted my time on such an absurd matter. Did I think I was better than all the other prodigies? If I didn’t waste my time, perhaps, I’d be an intermediate Emperor of Gods by now. I was truly young and foolish.”

Duan Ling Tian was surprised that Zhen Ping Fan attempted to cast different laws at the same time. It was an impossible feat since it was a rule dictated by the heavens. He thought to himself, ‘Elder Zhen must have been crazy to attempt such a thing back then. If he had openly told people about this, he would have been beaten. It’s true that wisdom comes with age…’

“Junior Uncle Ye didn’t waste his time like I did. He came from the lower realm so his cultivation base was very weak when he first arrived in the Profound Energy Land. It was only when he joined the Pure Yang Sect that his cultivation base improved by leaps and bounds. In less than 20,000 years, he had become an intermediate Emperor of Gods and also surpassed the other intermediate Emperors of Gods in our sect, including my father,” Zhen Ping Fan said. His expression was slightly complicated as he spoke about Ye Chen Feng.

Ye Chen Feng was not only about Zhen Ping Fan’s age, but he had also witnessed Ye Chen Feng’s growth in the Pure Yang Sect. In the beginning, he had viewed Ye Chen Feng as his competitor. However, he was knocked down to the point of despair after watching the speed at which Ye Chen Feng improved.

10,000 years ago, Ye Chen Feng was no match for Zhen Ping Fan. However, after the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago, Ye Chen Feng’s cultivation base rose rapidly and surpassed not only him, but his father as well. In his opinion, Ye Chen Feng was a monstrous prodigy who defied common sense.

Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked at Ye Chen Feng, who was sitting cross-legged in a corner with his eyes closed. His eyes glinted with a hint of anticipation as he thought to himself, ‘I wonder how long it’ll take for me to possess Elder Ye’s strength or even surpass his strength…’

In the end, it took the entire remaining time of the journey for Duan Ling Tian to get over the shock of finding out Zhen Ping Fan and Ye Chen Feng were only average among the younger generation 10,000 years ago.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Elder Zhen, among those who ranked in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast, who has the highest cultivation base now? What’s his or her cultivation base?”

Zhen Ping Fan smiled disdainfully as he said, “Only eight out of ten of them are still alive. One of them who died ranked second back then. The person who ranked first only became a rudimentary Emperor of Gods 500 years ago. As for the person who ranked third, he’s an advanced Lord of Gods. It’s said that he’s on the brink of becoming a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. However, I think it’s just a rumor. It’s not that easy to break through, after all. The person from the Howling Heaven Sect who ranked 9th back then is still an advanced Lord of Gods as well…”
