Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Deception and Traps, Intentional Set-up, Cooling Off Complete
“Really?”
Wang Xuanping’s eyes widened.
This time, she was truly excited.
It was because Ye Feng was going to teach her “Seven Steps to Heaven” personally!
“Hehe, once I learn “Seven Steps to Heaven”, and go back to report, won’t I be able to let the higher-ups in my clan research this divine skill’s countermeasures?”
“What a great opportunity!”
Wang Xuanping was full of drive.
She had decided that a mere task was nothing but mucking out, clearing the sewage, and postnatal care for sows—nothing significant.
As long as she could learn “Seven Steps to Heaven”, it would all be worth it.
“Sect Leader, I’ll get to it right away!”
Wang Xuanping put away the task document and immediately flew toward Whitefloat City.
On the ground.
Ye Feng watched Wang Xuanping’s departing figure, nodding with a smile, “A teachable child indeed!”
In the distant sky.
Wang Xuanping, using her spiritual sense, saw this scene of Ye Feng and her lips slightly curled up as she coldly said:
“Heh! Wait until I complete the task and learn “Seven Steps to Heaven” from you, then you will see what ‘a teachable child’ truly means.”
Whoosh!
Wang Xuanping increased her speed and arrived in Whitefloat City.
She found Steward Zhou Jiaqian, who had already advanced to the Element Gathering Realm, took on the task of clearing the sewage, and got to work.
As a body snatcher, even though the physical body’s root bone was average, Wang Xuanping still relied on devouring a large number of elixirs to breakthrough to the Element Gathering Realm.
Therefore, with a single burst of her aura, she cleared Whitefloat City’s sewage, working with high efficiency.
Next was the postnatal care for the sows.
Standing on the dirty and smelly pig dung, Wang Xuanping’s lips quivered as she carefully tended to the newborn piglets.
…
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
Ye Feng lay in a rattan chair, yawning.
“Li Qiankun and Brother Flathead, as well as the others who went out to gain experience, are about to reach the Great Liang Demon Nation’s territory now, their speed is indeed fast.”
Ye Feng whispered to himself.
In this time, he had thrown the Heaven-Asking Mirror into the Refining Furnace, adding many precious materials, and finally upgraded this treasure to a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, which could observe any area within a hundred thousand miles.
He thought.
The image on the Heaven-Asking Mirror changed to Whitefloat City.
Wang Xuanping was holding a special bamboo tube, performing artificial insemination on the sows…
Half an hour later.
She threw away the bamboo tube and laughed loudly at the sky.
“Hahaha!”
“I’ve finally finished inseminating the hundredth sow. Next, I can go learn “Seven Steps to Heaven” from Ye Feng.”
She immediately turned around and flew toward Misty Peak.
…
“Sect Leader, I have completed all the tasks and experienced trials. I’ve found that my mind has matured a lot,” Wang Xuanping reported in front of Ye Feng, bowing with a clenched fist.
“Good, a teachable child!” Ye Feng applauded with a laugh, “Next, I will first teach you the Auxiliary Cultivation Method of “The Potential of Roots Manuscript” which can speed up your cultivation.”
“The Potential of Roots?”
Wang Xuanping was somewhat unhappy.
She wanted to directly learn “Seven Steps to Heaven”.
But thinking that she had completed those bizarre tasks and finally made it to Ye Feng’s side, waiting a bit longer didn’t matter, so Wang Xuanping nodded and said:
“Please give me your guidance, Sect Leader.”
“This is the cultivation technique for “The Potential of Roots Manuscript”, have a look first. If there is anything you don’t understand, just ask me.” Ye Feng took out an ancient script and placed it on the table.
Wang Xuanping’s lips twitched.
She had previously tried to learn “The Potential of Roots Manuscript” from Ji Ziling but could never master it. Now, she gritted her teeth and read through the content, only to find she still couldn’t remember it, immediately showing a frustrated expression.
“Sect Leader, I… I can’t remember it.”
“Can’t remember it?”
“Yes, I forget as soon as I look at it. How about this—teach me “Seven Steps to Heaven” first!”
“No, you can’t possibly forget when the Sect Leader is personally guiding you. Come on, read with me, this character is pronounced ‘root’…”
Ye Feng began to explain word by word.
Wang Xuanping, with patience, learned and gradually found she could remember some parts, then began to cultivate.
This time, she actually succeeded!
“Sect Leader, I have made it to beginner level.”
Wang Xuanping was truly surprised.
She realized it wasn’t that she couldn’t learn, but that she lacked a professional instructor.
“Good, continue practicing,” Ye Feng instructed.
The reason Wang Xuanping had become a beginner was because she was not actually cultivating the true “The Potential of Roots Manuscript” but rather a low-end version hastily concocted by Ye Feng.
Even though cultivating it could improve her cultivation speed, its effects were not very powerful, but still sufficient to deal with the current situation.
Ye Feng glanced at the cooldown time for his Holy Divine Form and noticed it would be ready in a few more days, a slight smile curling on his lips.
“A few more days of acting, and it should be ready,” he thought to himself.
Three days later.
Wang Xuanping brought the modified “The Potential of Roots Manuscript” to Major Achievement, but she could not make any further progress.
“Sect Leader, your disciple has encountered a bottleneck,” she said with a troubled face.
These past few days, she had often stayed by Ye Feng’s side and found that there was really no pressure emanating from this Sect Leader at all.
His cultivation level seemed to have completely disappeared.
“If only I could lure Ye Feng out, then plan an ambush to capture him, and bring him to the Elders, wouldn’t that be wonderful?” Wang Xuanping secretly schemed.
“Encountering a bottleneck is quite normal, the path of cultivation can’t always be smooth sailing,” Ye Feng pretended to patiently advise, but was secretly laughing on the inside.
“Well then, in a few days, I as Sect Leader will take you out for a trip into the mountains and rivers. Who knows, you might break through your bottleneck,” Ye Feng added.
“Really?” Wang Xuanping’s eyes lit up.
She had been worried about not having the opportunity to trick Ye Feng into leaving, but now, Ye Feng himself was suggesting they go out, which played right into her hands.
“Of course it’s true,” Ye Feng nodded, “These next few days you should focus on cultivating well. We’ll leave when I am free.”
“Yes,” Wang Xuanping left Misty Peak.
She returned to her room, her face filled with a smile.
Half a day later.
Wang Xuanping accepted an external mission and traveled hundreds of miles to slay a rampaging Demon General.
Afterwards, she took out a golden paper crane and tossed it out.
“In a few days, with numerous experts lying in ambush, we will surely capture Ye Feng,” Wang Xuanping said with a sinister smile.
One day later.
In Zhongyuan City of South Ming Country.
A hand stretched out from within a dilapidated temple, catching the golden paper crane as it flew in, listening to the message from Wang Xuanping.
“Ye Feng is actually going to leave. Good. Immediately contact the underground forces, deploy troops, and we must capture Ye Feng without alerting the gods or ghosts and bring him back to the clan,” a chilly voice slowly spread out.
Deep underground, numerous Soul-Devouring Clan powerhouses received the news and immediately sprang into action.
Ye Feng was unaware of all this.
At this moment, he was sitting on a rattan chair, waiting quietly.
“Ding, Holy Divine Form cooldown is complete. Please, Sect Leader, use it at your discretion,” the System issued a prompt.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately sat up straight.
“System, since the cooldown is complete, can you now tell me the current level of combat strength of the Holy Divine Form?” Ye Feng asked.
“Yes.”
This time, the System was no longer elusive.
As a stream of information poured into his mind, Ye Feng’s gaze sharpened, and then he immediately stood up, his breathing halting.
“Strong, truly strong!” Ye Feng laughed heartily.
The wait for a month had not been in vain. Even on the basis of one hundred million Prestige Points, the power of the Holy Divine Form was still incredibly terrifying.
The Ancestor of Tree Demons, the Demon God Temple Master, the Great Elders of the Horn-Fluff Tribe – in front of the Holy Divine Form, they were all nothing but dust!
“It’s just a pity it only lasts five seconds!” Ye Feng expressed his regret.
The next morning.
Ye Feng called for Wang Xuanping.
“I am free today, so I’ll take you out for some experiential training for a while, and we can also take a stroll through that boundless desert,” he said.
“Okay,” Wang Xuanping nodded.
After being undercover for so long, it was finally time to start the roundup.
Her heart was incredibly excited.
