Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Appraisal Elder, Two-Star Rank Sect Ascension Certification
“Welcome to all of you,”
Ye Feng greeted with a clasped fist.
At this stage, he had completely concealed his aura, appearing just like an ordinary person, standing quietly in place.
However, no one present dared to underestimate him.
People like Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun, Third Prince Ling Luotian, and the First Princess Ling Yue, were all showing faces of respect, even admiration and infatuation.
“Then, let’s begin the appraisal!”
Ye Feng looked around and pointed to the vast Misty Sect, “Our Misty Sect has developed for so long, I believe we should already meet the requirements for a Two-Star Rank force.”
“Definitely meets them!” the Third Prince spoke out.
After becoming the heir to the next sovereign, he temporarily took charge of the main hall of the Sects, responsible for the star-level status appraisal work for all Sects within the boundaries of the Mystique Kingdom.
As long as he nodded, even if the conditions were not met, promotion could still be granted.
In the eyes of the Third Prince, with Ye Feng in charge of the Misty Sect, it was not just a matter of Two-Star rank, even a Three-Star promotion was possible.
Ling Yue’s face turned slightly red.
Looking at Ye Feng, she softly said,
“Sect Master Ye, I believe your Sect can definitely pass the Two-Star Sect evaluation.”
“I hope so!” Ye Feng nodded in acknowledgment to her.
At that moment, an elder in a white robe with white hair and beard stepped forward, holding a thick book in his hand.
“Sect Master Ye, the requirements for a Two-Star Sect are here, please take a look,” he said.
After finishing his words, the elder handed a book to Ye Feng.
Flipping it open, Ye Feng saw the certification requirements for a comprehensive Two-Star force.
The Sect should have more than a thousand disciples.
There should be more than ten spiritual beasts.
The Sect Leader’s strength should be above the Spirit Sea Realm.
They should possess Upper Grade spiritual artifacts.
They should own a medium-sized spirit vein.
…
Conditions like these, totalling dozens of items.
However, apart from the three hard requirements of Sect Leader’s strength, disciple count, and a medium-sized spirit vein, the other conditions could be somewhat satisfied.
“Sss!”
“Misty Sect actually has a large spirit vein!”
The few Elders responsible for the appraisal looked around and in the next moment, they suddenly noticed the rich spiritual energy of Misty Peak.
“Sect Master Ye, does your Sect have a large spirit vein?” they asked urgently.
Ye Feng nodded, “Yes.”
This matter wasn’t worth hiding.
With his will, in about three months, he could rely on the accumulated Power of World Remodeling to create a brand new large spirit vein.
“If that is the case, the hard condition for the spirit vein is met,” an Elder responsible for appraisal immediately marked it down.
He did not doubt Ye Feng’s words in the slightest.
In fact,
before heading to the Misty Sect, the appraisal Elders had already received a voice transmission from Ancestor Lingmiao.
For this appraisal of Misty Sect’s Two-Star status, whether or not Misty Sect met the requirements, they were to give a pass.
Even if Ye Feng burst all the spirit veins of the Misty Sect in front of them, they would close their eyes and acknowledge that Misty Sect had met the conditions needed for certification.
“Next, the Sect Leader’s strength,” an Elder muttered.
“Cough, cough!” the Third Prince suddenly coughed violently.
“Yes, yes, yes, Sect Master Ye’s strength definitely meets the Two-Star Sect certification requirements, it is approved,” the appraisal Elder slapped his forehead, inwardly cursing himself for being foolish.
How could Ye Feng’s strength possibly not meet the requirements?
“Next up, the number of disciples,” another appraisal Elder said.
“That’s easy, the Book of Names is here,” Ye Feng handed the Book of Names to that Elder.
“So, the disciples whose names I call later, need to come to the site for on-the-spot appraisal,” the appraisal Elder quickly explained, “The appraisal includes verifying whether the disciple matches the list and whether their cultivation level is satisfactory, among other things.”
“No problem.” Ye Feng nodded.
With a wave of his sleeve, he announced loudly, “Disciples of the Misty Sect, listen up, assemble immediately in the Sect Main Plaza, stand in order of entry, and wait for the inspection.”
“Yes!”
The disciples immediately took action.
Whether they were previously cultivating, honing their ancestral skills, or eating, they all immediately ceased their activities and headed to the Sect Main Plaza with utmost speed.
In the time it takes to finish half a cup of tea.
Over a thousand disciples gathered in the Sect Main Plaza.
Seeing these Mall deep in vigor with eyes filled with a fighting spirit, the appraisal Elders were amazed.
“Every disciple of the Misty Sect is like a dragon, too strong!” an appraisal Elder praised wholeheartedly.
“Then, let’s begin!” Ye Feng urged.
“Yes,” the appraisal Elder did not dare to delay.
He opened the Book of Names and starting from the page where Shi Lei was listed, called out, “There are sixteen First Generation Disciples. The first one, Shi Lei… where is Shi Lei?”
“Here!”
Shi Lei rose into the air.
His body radiated the strength of the second level of the Element Gathering Realm.
“As expected of the eldest disciple, with such high cultivation,” praised the appraisal Elder, “Next, the Second Disciple, Huo Yunjie—where are you?”
“Present!”
Huo Yunjie stood out.
A dazzling sword light emitted from his body, surged into the sky, splitting the clouds above into two halves.
“Third Disciple, Li Jiaojiao.”
“I’m here!”
Li Jiaojiao appeared as well.
“Fourth Disciple, Mo Ying.”
Clang!
Mo Ying drew her sword, revealing an even more fierce aura.
His cultivation level had actually advanced to the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm!
“Such a high cultivation level!”
The Appraisal Elder’s gaze became sharper.
He had detected an incisive Sword Intent from Mo Ying, and if it came to a fight among peers, he might not even be able to graze the hem of Mo Ying’s garment before being slain by a single sword stroke.
“Fifth Disciple, Long Tianxing.”
“Sixth Disciple, Jia Yulan.”
“Seventh Disciple, Xia He.”
“Eighth Disciple, Qiu Ju.”
“Ninth Disciple, Ouyang Feng.”
“Tenth Disciple, Ouyang Yu.”
“Eleventh Disciple, Yan Ruyu.”
“Twelfth Disciple, Qiao Jiaxi.”
“Thirteenth Disciple, Ji Ziling.”
“Fourteenth Disciple, Wang Ping’an.”
“Fifteenth Disciple, Yu Su.”
“Sixteenth Disciple, Yu Wei.”
The Appraisal Elder finally finished reading the names of the First Generation Disciples, who took to the stage one after another.
Even Yu Wei and Yu Su, the sisters who initially had the lowest cultivation levels and the weakest presence, had now ascended to the Element Gathering Realm.
“Sixteen First Generation Disciples, all in the Element Gathering Realm.”
The Appraisal Elders were astonished in their hearts.
Looking at any Two-Star Sect, such a lineup of disciples would be considered extraordinary.
“Next are the Second-generation Disciples, Xu Dalei, Mu Sisi…” the Appraisal Elder continued to call out names.
All the disciples called by name took the stage in turn.
Xu Dalei and Mu Sisi had long since advanced to the Element Gathering Realm and could hold their own against the weakest First Generation Disciples.
After them came a large group of Qi Refining Realm disciples.
But just as the Appraisal Elder thought Misty Sect had no more Element Gathering Realm disciples to present, he was shocked to discover that disciple Liang Wanfen had reached the Demon King Realm!
“Ssss! This cultivation level is beyond the limits of the Heavenly Pride List!”
The Appraisal Elder, staring at Liang Wanfen who was exuding the terrifying pressure of a Demon King, was greatly shaken.
Boom!
At that moment, a deafening sound came from the Spirit Gathering Tower, and everyone turned toward the source of the noise only to see two massive Spiritual Energy Vortexes appearing in the sky.
Whirl!
A torrent of light rain fell down, merging into the Spirit Gathering Tower.
Then, two beams of light shot into the high sky, transforming into the phantom of two giant white rabbits.
The majestic Demon King pressure swiftly dissipated.
“My two elder sisters also broke through to the Demon King Realm!” Liang Wanfen exclaimed in surprise.
“Such rapid speed!” Even Ye Feng was slightly surprised.
However, he wasn’t surprised.
Before attending the Four Star-Level celebration of the Mystique Kingdom, Liang Wanrou and Liang Wanyu had already been in seclusion, striving to break through to the Demon King Realm.
At that time, Ye Feng had taken out a large bottle of Wonderful Transformation Spirit Pills.
Liang Wanrou and Liang Wanyu each consumed five elixirs, accumulating a formidable amount of energy in their bodies, and with the increased speed of cultivation more than ten times in the upper levels of the Spirit Gathering Tower, of course, their breakthroughs were swift.
Even Ye Feng hadn’t expected that they would break through just at this moment.
“Nearly twenty Element Gathering Realm cultivators, three formidable Demon Kings… The key point is, these are all just disciples!”
“Was Misty Sect really only a One-Star Sect before?”
The Appraisal Elders were speechless.
However, thinking of Sect Master Ye Feng, they felt all these achievements were to be expected.
Where Ye Feng was, miracles existed.
Next, the Appraisal Elder continued to read off names.
Soon, all 1,800 disciples had made their appearance, with exactly twenty in the Element Gathering Realm and three in the Spirit Sea Realm who were Demon Kings.
This lineup of disciples was nothing less than luxurious.
“In terms of disciples, Misty Sect meets the requirements,” the Appraisal Elder reported the results.
Having fulfilled the three rigid requirements for a Two-Star Sect evaluation, the rest was just a formality.
Even if it was a formality, it still had to be done.
“Next is the appraisal of the Spiritual Artifacts…”
Before the Appraisal Elder could finish speaking, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Gong Qingqiu, and others all displayed Upper Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Clang!
Li Zilong did something even more dramatic.
He revealed his Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Mad Dragon Bone Spear. The fierce aura it exuded startled the Appraisal Elders, who hastily declared it qualified.
Next up was the appraisal of the Spirit Beast Pavilion.
Brother Flathead surrounded the Appraisal Elders with a crowd of Spiritual Beasts, each exuding a mountainous heavy Demon Elemental Force.
They looked ferocious.
It seemed as if the moment an Appraisal Elder dared to utter a “no,” they would pounce and thrash him in a frenzy.
“This… the Spirit Beast Pavilion also meets the requirements!”
The Appraisal Elder wiped the sweat from his brow.
After that came the appraisal of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
The crowd entered the micro-world at the peak of Misty Peak, observing the orderly medicine fields and the millennial grade Spiritual Medicines cultivated by Yan Ruyu, nodding in approval.
“As expected of Misty Sect, all conditions have been met, and they are all of excellent standing. We don’t need to cut any slack for them to pass,” the Appraisal Elders communicated with glances, confirming the results.
“How is it?” asked the Third Prince.
He, Ling Yue, and Shu Qianjun had been standing aside all along, anxiously waiting for the Appraisal Elders to announce their decision and getting a bit impatient.
Snap!
The lead Appraisal Elder closed the thick booklet.
He looked at Ye Feng, took a deep breath, showing first a stern face and then gradually, his face blossomed into a joyful smile:
“Congratulations to Sect Master Ye, your Sect has passed the Two-Star Sect evaluation and is hereby promoted!”
At this pronouncement, the entire Sect erupted in cheers.
[Ahem, after the unexpected break in the updates two days ago, I didn’t realize it would provoke such anger. I reflect on my actions; I am guilty, wuwuwu, the author is hurt inside and requests a pat on the head and some rewards (dog head)…]
