Chapter 539: Chapter 539 Bald Disciple Li Qiankun, Five Great Demon Emperors Shocked
Princess Hu Feifei’s gaze shifted downward.
Looking at the bald youth’s continuously trembling legs, she laughed and said, “You little baldy are quite interesting, clearly terrified yet still wanting to charge over.”
At this time, Ye Maple, the Third Prince, and others also landed on the ground, standing next to Princess Hu Feifei, sizing up the bald youth.
Although this youth had no hair, he had delicate features and was quite handsome.
If he had hair, he would definitely be a graceful young master.
However, as Ye Maple surveyed the youth’s shiny bald head, he found that there wasn’t even a hair root on his scalp—it was not that he was shaven bald, but that he was born without hair.
“Sect Master Ye, this youth seems to be of the Human Race.”
“Strange, how could a Human Race youth become the son of the Mountain Divine Monkey?”
“Didn’t you hear? Godson, an adopted son!”
The crowd discussed animatedly amongst themselves.
They were all very curious about the origins of the bald youth.
“Odd, didn’t this monkey claim to have seen through the mortal world and entered the monastic life, with no need for a woman? Why did he adopt a godson?”
The Storm Demon Emperor expressed his curiosity.
He hovered in midair, revealing the true form of the Winged Centipede, with the twelve pairs of cicada wings on his back flapping continuously.
The Heavenly Thunder Emperor frowned, saying, “In my opinion, this monkey must have picked up the child.”
Hearing this group of former underlings all addressing him as “monkey” infuriated the Mountain Divine Monkey.
“If I were still at my peak, I would smash your dog heads!” the Mountain Divine Monkey rebuked.
The Flame Emperor Demon chuckled strangely, saying:
“Please, we are now the Spirit Beasts guarding the Misty Sect, with esteemed status and Demon Emperor Level Cultivation Techniques to practice. Once we make a breakthrough, we could suppress you with just one hand.”
The other three Great Demon Emperors nodded repeatedly, no longer considering the Mountain Divine Monkey a threat.
“Demon Emperor Level Cultivation Techniques!”
The Mountain Divine Monkey’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Alright!”
At this point, Ye Maple finally spoke.
He looked at the trembling bald youth and asked, “Kid, what’s your name?”
The bald youth swallowed his saliva.
“His name is Li Qiankun!”
The Mountain Divine Monkey took the initiative to speak, as he could see that Ye Maple was the core figure among the group of strange strong men, “Daoist friend, if you want to kill me, I, the Mountain Divine Monkey, at your disposal. But please, do not kill my adopted son.”
“Godfather, no!”
The bald youth Li Qiankun’s expression changed drastically.
Ye Maple smiled, “Why would I want to kill you?”
The Mountain Divine Monkey was stunned, “You came with aggression, isn’t it to slay me, take my Demon Core, snatch my Demon Blood, and rob my Black Sky Cudgel?”
“You’re overthinking it.”
Ye Maple waved his hand dismissively, “I came to the Wind Demon Mountain Range to recruit a Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast. If you’re willing, you can come to my Misty Sect, become a Spiritual Beast, with food, lodging, and Cultivation Techniques provided.”
“A Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast… Ha!”
The Mountain Divine Monkey laughed bitterly, “I would rather die than submit!”
“Godfather, you can’t die!” Li Qiankun, the bald youth, panicked, “If you die, and I’m left alone in Demon City, won’t I be devoured by the countless Demonic Beasts?”
Upon hearing this, the Mountain Divine Monkey’s expression hardened.
Indeed!
If he were to fall, his adopted son, whom he had raised for over a decade, would definitely be captured and cooked by some lurking Demonic Beasts.
“In my Misty Sect, everyone is equal, with no distinctions of high or low, noble or humble. Your adopted son, I could also take him as a Second-generation Disciple, to return to the sect with you,” said Ye Maple calmly.
He stretched out his hand, releasing the complete version of the “Demon Emperor Art” Cultivation Technique into midair. The shining golden characters hung in the air, extremely profound; all five Great Demon Emperors present were dumbfounded.
“A Cultivation Technique that one can practice to the peak of Demon Emperor!”
The Mountain Divine Monkey, looking at this Cultivation Technique, realized that many of the issues he had encountered in his daily practice seemed to have answers.
Remembering Ye Maple’s promise and his adopted son Li Qiankun’s safety, he hesitated.
“What’s so bad about becoming a Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast, look at me, I’m still flaunting my might,” laughed the Flame Emperor Demon.
Hearing this, Ye Maple rolled his eyes at him.
Flaunting his might?
Does he even know how to use words correctly!
“Alright, I agree to join the Misty Sect and become the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast, but my freedom must not be restricted, and my son Li Qiankun must also receive focused cultivation from the Misty Sect.”
The Mountain Divine Monkey made a concession after all.
“Agreed, I promise you!”
Ye Feng smiled.
He believed that once the Mountain Divine Monkey arrived at the Misty Sect and enjoyed the many benefits of the “Demon Emperor Art”, Spirit Beasts Platform, and the Bloodline Purifying Pill, it would definitely not want to leave.
As Ye Feng reached out and placed his hand on the forehead of the Mountain Divine Monkey, he quickly completed the recruitment process.
Boom!
Ye Feng suddenly felt a torrential surge of energy explode within him, and his power truly soared to the peak of the Divine Origin Realm!
“Such formidable physical strength!”
His heart swelled with joy, and he couldn’t help but clench his fist tightly.
Crack!
The void was crushed, revealing fine space fissures, stunning everyone present.
“Crushing the void with bare hands!”
The Mountain Divine Monkey’s eyes widened in shock.
“Sect Master Ye, has your cultivation recovered?” First Princess Ling Yue asked with a seductive gaze, her pretty face filled with astonishment.
Wang Ping’an, Qiao Jiaxi, and Long Tianxing, the three disciples, were also astonished.
If Ye Feng’s cultivation had recovered, the Misty Sect would surely become an incomparably glorious force!
“The Sect Leader is terrifying!”
The Flame Emperor Demon, Carp Demon Emperor, Heavenly Thunder Emperor, and Storm Demon Emperor were similarly shaken.
Crushing the void with a mere gesture, that must be at least the peak of the Divine Origin Realm, right?
Could their own Sect Leader be so formidable?
In the crowd,
Ye Feng, who had become the focus of attention, couldn’t help but widen his eyes, his face flashing with surprise, amazement, and disappointment among other complex emotions.
“Alas!”
Ultimately, he sighed lightly, arousing the curiosity of the whole crowd.
“Actually, I also thought my strength had recovered, but unfortunately, upon a recent attempt, it seemed to be only temporary.”
Ye Feng began to bluff, “I can feel a terrifying power brewing within me, but I can’t control it. It only occasionally comes to my aid.”
After a pause, he continued,
“I have calculated that at regular intervals, I can recover the strength of my prime and even surpass my normal performance.”
Upon hearing this, the disciples gasped in astonishment.
Surpass his normal performance?
Wouldn’t that mean he could easily suppress a great power from the Void Break Realm?
Although it was only an occasional occurrence, for the Misty Sect, it was a trump card.
The Five Great Demon Emperors wore faces full of doubt.
“What level was the Sect Leader at his prime?” The Flame Emperor Demon asked with puzzlement, prodding Wang Ping’an with his wing and enquiring in a low voice.
“The Sect Master Uncle was incredibly powerful. At his prime, he could shatter the ancient ancestors of the Void Break Realm with a single stomp,” replied Wang Ping’an solemnly.
“What?”
The Five Great Demon Emperors and Li Qiankun all gasped in shock.
A single stomp could shatter the ancient ancestors of the Void Break Realm?
Could that be true?
Ye Feng did not want to hide this and nodded, saying,
“That’s all in the past. After the invasion of the Outer Realm Evil Spirits and the battle in the Mystique Kingdom, my cultivation was completely lost. Now, suddenly being able to exert the power to crush the void with my bare hands, I fear it might just be the final glow of the setting sun.”
Hearing about Ye Feng’s past prowess, the Five Great Demon Emperors began to view him with new respect.
However, the thought that Ye Feng could produce an intact version of the “Demon Emperor Art” suggested that he must have been at the level of the Void Break Realm himself.
Otherwise, how could a mere Divine Origin Realm individual protect such an artifact?
“Let’s not dwell on the past,” Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively and looked at the bald young man, Li Qiankun. “Would you like to join my Misty Sect?”
“Yes, definitely!”
Li Qiankun nodded repeatedly.
Pleased with the response, Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction.
He had long coveted this young man.
After all, the young man had a supreme grade constitution, and at just a teenager, he had already broken through to the first tier of the Element Gathering Realm. He was a true prodigy!
