Chapter 521: Chapter 521: The Plight of the Nanwen Thirteen States, The Secret Realm Opens
Xiao Fangu really wanted to drown Zhu Yongfu with a single spit.
This guy actually asked him to practice the Deduction Technique, wasn’t this deliberately causing his hair to fall out?
On this matter, the Paper Fan Young Master didn’t have much to ask for.
He said, “Xiao Fangu is only suitable for the path of cultivation. Later, when your cultivation level is high enough, and you are qualified to become a protector, as for the Deduction Technique, it’s enough to just understand a bit.”
Xiao Fangu felt like he had received a great pardon and nodded repeatedly.
…
Mystique Royal Capital.
After several days of seclusion, both Ancestor Jinling’s avatar and Ancestor Lingmiao finally removed the imprint within the Demon God Flower.
Looking at the three-petaled black flower suspended in the air, both of them revealed smiles of great relief.
“Not bad, we have finally completed it.”
Both were in very good spirits.
After removing the imprint from the Demon God Flower, it became an ownerless Upper Grade Spiritual Treasure that, with a bit of refining, could be activated.
“Right, what about the disposal of Wang Zhong’s corpse?” asked Ancestor Lingmiao.
In the past few days, after some inquiring, they had clarified Wang Zhong’s background, confirmed his name, and also learned that Wang Zhong was one of the ten Inner Sect Elders of the Demon God Temple.
“The corpse of this person can be sent back to the Demon God Temple, but the treasures on his body must be kept,” said Ancestor Jinling’s avatar.
“Hmm, alright,” Ancestor Lingmiao nodded, “I’ll arrange for someone to transport Wang Zhong’s corpse to the Demon God Temple today.”
…
Misty Sect.
[Sect Prestige Value +2378476]
Listening to the reminder in his mind, Ye Feng felt indifferent.
An abrupt increase of over two million Prestige Points, he was already used to it and didn’t care.
As of today, the Sect Prestige Value had surged to over ninety million and was about to break one hundred million.
When the Prestige Value exceeded one hundred million, the Spirit Beast Pavilion could be upgraded to the seventh rank.
At that time, new functions could be unlocked.
Ye Feng was looking forward to this.
“Now that the sect has advanced to the Two-Star Rank, there are no new missions for the time being, so let’s focus on developing the Sect and enhancing the disciples’ strengths.”
“Only in this way can my power soar.”
He didn’t need to cultivate.
As long as the disciples were powerful enough, he himself would become stronger.
At this moment, Ye Feng took out a piece of Ancient Jade.
This item was given to him by the Third Prince as a token to enter the Divine Origin Realm Secret Realm located in the Nanwen Thirteen States.
“It’s said that the Nanwen Thirteen States is a Mortal Realm Kingdom with a population exceeding one hundred million, where the highest Cultivator is only in the high stages of the Element Gathering Realm, very suitable for disciples to go for trials,” thought Ye Feng.
He had an idea in mind.
He called Gong Qingqiu and Li Zilong over.
“Sect Leader, you called for us?”
The two Elders stood in front of Ye Feng, bowing and asking.
“The cultivation levels of the cultivators in the Nanwen Thirteen States are not high, which makes it suitable for the disciples to go there for trials, and moreover, there is a secret realm there that can be ventured into recently, which might be quite beneficial for both of you,” said Ye Feng as he disclosed the news of the secret realm.
“I’ll go gather the disciples immediately,” said Li Zilong as he set off at once.
But Ye Feng stopped him, “Just to be on the safe side, only those above the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm are eligible to set off.”
“Understood,” Li Zilong nodded.
Then, Ye Feng turned to Gong Qingqiu and said, “Call over those one hundred and eight members of the Heiluo Sha who have received the Embroidered Flying Swords. They have all broken through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm or higher. Together, they are capable of killing someone in the Element Gathering Realm. Take them to the Nanwen Thirteen States as well; it’s time for them to sharpen their skills.”
“Yes,” said Gong Qingqiu as she immediately went to make arrangements.
Soon, the news spread throughout the Misty Sect.
“Have you heard? We’re going to the Nanwen Thirteen States for trials. It is said that the two places are eighty thousand miles apart, quite far away.”
“I signed up, but I can’t go.”
“Why not?”
“The Elder said I’m only at the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, not strong enough.”
“Hey, I’m going to break through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm today, meeting the minimum requirements. This time, I’m definitely going to go out and have a blast.”
“Tsk!”
The disciples were also discussing among themselves.
Spirit Gathering Tower.
Mo Ying walked out from it.
Learning that there was a chance to go to the Nanwen Thirteen States for trials and that there was also a Divine Origin Realm Secret Realm to be explored, she was very interested.
“I want to go too.”
Li Jiaojiao, carrying a full set of kitchen utensils, was very excited.
An adventure into a Divine Origin Realm Secret Realm was sure to contain a plethora of ancient herbs, which to her, were the perfect ingredients for new cuisines.
The other disciples were also eager to try.
Finally, that night, Li Zilong and Gong Qingqiu gathered three hundred disciples and stood on the massive Spirit Snake Flying Boat.
The one hundred and eight Heiluocha members stood at the back, wearing black veils and hats, their attire similar to Mo Ying’s, drawing the attention of the disciples.
“These are Heiluocha members, an assassin organization under the Sect Leader’s command, there’s no need to be surprised,” Gong Qingqiu explained.
Mo Ying glanced at the attire of the Heiluocha members.
Subconsciously, she felt these were people with stories to tell.
“Alright, let’s set off!”
With a sweep of his broad sleeve, Ye Feng whisked everyone up high into the sky.
“Sect Leader, let me give you a shoulder rub,” said Hu Feifei, standing behind Ye Feng, her soft hands placed on his shoulders, she began to massage.
“Hmm, not bad!”
Ye Feng enjoyed it.
Since advancing to a Lower Grade Spiritual Treasure, Hu Feifei’s massage skills had become even more skillful; if she opened a massage parlor, the queue of people would probably stretch around Whitefloat City.
Behind them stood Li Zilong, Gong Qingqiu, Chu Yun’er, Brother Flathead, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, among others.
No high-end combat force was left behind in Misty Sect.
However, with the Crimson Edge Halberd and Starlight Great Array in place, they could repel any enemy of Divine Origin Realm seventh layer or below.
Whoosh!
The Spirit Snake Flying Boat was extremely fast. Once powered by Upper Grade Spirit Stones, it could travel a hundred thousand miles in a single day.
The next day.
The Spirit Snake Flying Boat passed through layers of mist and finally entered the airspace above the Nanwen Thirteen States.
However, the ruins, corpses, and dried-up blood sea below shocked everyone.
“Is this really the Nanwen Thirteen States?”
Mo Ying said solemnly.
This place looked like it had gone through a massacre by a powerful being, with collapsed cities, damaged buildings, and devastating loss of life.
“It’s the Grey Vine Goddess!”
Ye Feng figured out the truth as soon as he calculated.
Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to him.
“Recently, the avatar of the Grey Vine Goddess entered this place, slaughtered over a billion beings, created a Blood Sacrifice Array, not only summoning her main body here but also opened a channel for the Ancestral Tree Demon’s Split Soul.”
Ye Feng revealed the truth.
Had he not been at the scene personally, he would not have been able to deduce this.
Previously, he was puzzled about how the Grey Vine Goddess and the Ancestral Tree Demon’s Split Soul had come to the Shenzhou Continent.
Now that he had arrived in the Nanwen Thirteen States, he understood.
“These damn Outer Fiends!”
The disciples were angry, stamping their feet on the deck, their eyes cold.
Seeing the angry expressions on their young faces, Ye Feng sighed softly, but then felt some comfort in his heart.
Although the expedition to the Nanwen Thirteen States ended prematurely due to an accident, at least the disciples had realized how detestable the Outer Fiends were.
This was a silver lining in a misfortune.
“Let’s head directly to the secret realm of that Divine Origin Realm!”
Ye Feng said.
He took out the Ancient Jade, sensed for a moment, confirmed the location, and steered the Spirit Snake Flying Boat at full speed.
High in the sky.
The disciples leaned over the railings, looking down at the scarred land, some female disciples even started to cry.
“So many people have fallen, the Grey Vine Goddess has such a cruel heart!” Yan Ruyu said, her voice quivering with tears.
“Give me thirty years of arduous cultivation, and I will cut down all the nuisances of the Tree Demon Clan!” Long Tianxing clenched his fists.
“Wow-roar!”
Even Brother Flathead got angry.
He paced back and forth on the deck with a furious face, activating his bloodline and entering a combat state similar to his Godzilla Form.
His formidable Demon Elemental Force dispersed the nearby clouds.
Ye Feng looked down below.
His eyes too flashed with a cold light continuously.
But since it had already happened, he couldn’t change anything. He could only take out the Mini Banana Palm Fan and fan continuously.
Wherever he passed, large swaths of Spirit Rain fell, watering the Nanwen Thirteen States. In a few months, this place was bound to be lush with vegetation again, bursting with endless vitality.
The few survivors would rebuild their homes on this ruin.
Half an hour later.
The Spirit Snake Flying Boat stopped over a massive mountain range.
This place was the entrance to the secret realm of the Divine Origin Realm.
“Open!”
Ye Feng threw the Ancient Jade into the mountain, triggering a series of explosions. One of the mountains split in the middle and moved sideways.
A huge pit appeared.
Below the pit, there was a light barrier.
That was the entrance to the secret realm.
“Let’s go in!”
Ye Feng controlled the Spirit Snake Flying Boat to pass through the light barrier and entered the secret realm.
This was a large Cave Heaven World.
Within a few hundred miles, it was an independent small world, with a medium-sized Spirit Vein stretching over ten miles at its center, providing rich Spiritual Energy for the entire secret realm.
There were living beings inside the secret realm.
Those were three ancient towns, with thousands of people living in each, and three Element Gathering Realm cultivators in each town.
“Sect Leader, this secret realm doesn’t seem to have anything special.”
Gong Qingqiu surveyed the surroundings and then spoke.
She used her Spiritual Sense to scan the nearby area and did not find anything unusual. If it weren’t for being a large Cave Heaven World, she would hardly believe this place was a secret realm left by a Divine Origin Realm Great Power.
“No rush.”
Ye Feng pointed to the center of the secret realm.
There was a forest with a circumference of dozens of miles, encircling the medium-sized Spirit Vein.
On the outer side of the forest were those three ancient towns.
“What are those people?”
The beings in one of the ancient towns noticed the Spirit Snake Flying Boat suspended in the air and were shocked, with the Element Gathering Realm senses releasing their Spiritual Sense upon sensing the terrifying aura on the Flying Boat; their expressions changed dramatically.
“They are existences that have surpassed the Element Gathering Realm!”
The several Element Gathering Realm cultivators were full of fear.
They followed ancient teachings, cultivating hard in the Cave Heaven World, protecting the treasures nurtured within the Spirit Vein.
But they had never expected to encounter other cultivators today.
Whoosh!
The Spirit Snake Flying Boat descended above the nearest ancient town.
Gong Qingqiu, accompanied by Huo Yunjie and Shi Lei, went down, and the three Element Gathering Realm elders in the town immediately rose into the air.
“Greetings!”
The Element Gathering Elders from the ancient town looked at Shi Lei and Huo Yunjie, both young and already in the Element Gathering Realm, then turned towards Gong Qingqiu with her vast aura, and felt even more apprehensive.
In their eyes, these individuals must be cultivators from a major external force.
“My Sect Leader asked me to inquire what kind of treasures are in this secret realm?”
Gong Qingqiu asked the leading white-haired Element Gathering Realm elder who was at the Fourth Layer, calmly.
The white-haired elder cautiously raised his head, glanced at Ye Feng standing at the bow of the Spirit Snake Flying Boat, saw the youth’s extraordinary appearance, and became apprehensive.
However, there was no trace of cultivation aura emanating from this person.
This immediately alarmed the white-haired elder.
“This Sect Leader’s ability to conceal his aura is tremendously powerful. He must be a Great Power above the Divine Origin Realm!”
The white-haired elder’s heartbeat accelerated.
With this thought, he said respectfully, “Fellow cultivator, this world has been passed down by our ancestors. As for what treasures it holds, even we do not know. The things you seek must be in the mountains.”
He turned around, pointing to the Spirit Vein.
Everyone’s gaze was drawn there.
