Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Fear, The Umbrella Breaks Through the Calamity and Everyone is Shocked (First Update)
“I won?”
Li Qiankun scratched his head as he watched the strange youth make a run for it with the chair. He hadn’t expected the other person to concede so quickly.
“What a pity, I haven’t even managed to steal his method of divination!”
Li Qiankun recalled the youth’s finger-gesturing technique and felt it seemed like a mess, absolutely incapable of actual divination.
With that thought, he expended a portion of his Evil Qi to divine the origins of this mysterious youth.
Whoosh!
The Evil Qi began to converge, forming an image in mid-air that reflected the figure of the mysterious youth running off with the chair.
All of a sudden, the image distorted.
This youth actually turned into a piece of paper!
“The other party turned out to be a Paper Man! I get it now, some mysterious person deployed the Paper Man Technique to deceive the eyes and ears, and his true self might be nearby but doesn’t dare to show himself.”
Li Qiankun instantly understood.
He related the sequence of events to the people around him.
Wang Ping’an immediately gasped in shock and said with fear, “We’re not going to get caught, are we?”
The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched.
Wang Ping’an’s mouth surely was extraordinary. Whenever he opened it, he would either say something very good or something terrible, no in-between, quite peculiar indeed.
“If the other side sent a Paper Man substitute, they likely wouldn’t dare a True Body Descent, so we are safe,” Long Tianxing said.
“If they dare to come, we still have Brother Flathead!” Qiao Jiaxi pointed to the figure sprawled on the table, asleep.
“Wow!”
The moment Brother Flathead heard there might be a fight, he immediately perked up.
Seeing this, all the disciples felt helpless.
Brother Flathead was good in all aspects, just too fond of brawling, and he was fearless. Even if a Saint appeared, he would still fight without hesitation.
“What should we do next?” Wang Ping’an looked at Li Qiankun. “Should we leave this city for now?”
“A lot of my Evil Qi has been consumed. I need to replenish it, so we indeed need to leave,” Li Qiankun said.
“Alright, let’s set out then!”
The disciples quickly packed up and departed under the reluctant gaze of the cultivators in the city, gradually disappearing into the horizon.
In the shadows.
The Golden Bell Prophet watched the direction Li Qiankun left in, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. “This man’s divination technique is even more sophisticated than mine, very tricky to deal with, he’s genuinely skilled and not to be provoked.”
He didn’t know that Li Qiankun was really just a novice.
The reason he could divine such detailed information was that Li Qiankun possessed the Body of Holy Spirit, naturally suited for divination, which granted him a decent bonus in this area.
Of course, what was more important was that the divination technique Li Qiankun used was a new version developed by Ye Feng using the Heart of Wisdom.
This method of divination was quite ingenious.
With Li Qiankun’s current abilities, he might not be on par with Divine Origin Realm Prophets, but he was more than enough to have a slight edge over the likes of the Paper Fan Young Master and Golden Bell Prophet from the Spirit Sea Realm.
In the following times, Li Qiankun and his group continued on their journey.
The Golden Bell Prophet, however, chose to lay low.
He had thought for a long time, having just been reborn, he needed to understand the current world well and clear up the changes among the major forces.
…
Heavenly Thunder City, Leiwu Martial Imperial Palace.
Ye Feng, Hu Feifei, and Emperor Leiwu were sitting at a round table, chatting about many things.
It had been a few days since they arrived at the Leiwu Martial Imperial Palace.
During this time, Ye Feng and Hu Feifei stayed here, enjoying the highest standard of hospitality, and looking at the beautiful women of Heavenly Thunder City with fair skin, good looks, and long legs, they felt very cheerful.
“Meow meow!”
The Thunder Beast Baby laid on the table, occasionally uttering noises, sounding milky and cute, and using its big, doe-eyed gaze to look at Ye Feng.
That longing gaze seemed to be asking Ye Feng to play with it.
“Little guy, do you find Heavenly Thunder City fun?”
Ye Feng extended his hand to poke the Thunder Beast Baby’s belly, causing it to giggle with laughter.
“Sect Master Ye, didn’t you say you’d recruit disciples in Heavenly Thunder City? Why has there been no movement so far?” Emperor Leiwu couldn’t help but ask.
During this period, he had learned Divine Techniques from Ye Feng, which had greatly benefited him, and his admiration for Ye Feng had grown even more.
In his view, it would be a fortunate thing for the younger generation of Heavenly Thunder City to be accepted into Misty Sect.
“No rush,” Ye Feng waved his hand.
Misty Sect had a low profile in Heavenly Thunder City, and naturally, they had to make a name for themselves before recruiting disciples.
Boom boom boom…
At that moment, the loud sound of thunder rolled through Heavenly Thunder City.
“Congratulations to Emperor Leiwu, another Divine Origin Realm Great Power is about to emerge in your empire.”
Ye Feng clasped his hands in congratulations.
The heavenly thunder outside was precisely the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation triggered by a cultivator’s ascension to the Divine Origin Realm.
“Ha ha, that is the Master of the Wu Family, stuck at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm for hundreds of years, and now he has finally made a breakthrough,” the Emperor Leiwu chuckled.
In the distant sky,
a thundercloud was bursting forth.
Large swaths of golden thunder light were rolling down, singeing the man in the green shirt in mid-air until he was charred black.
“Oh no, the family head is going to be struck dead by the lightning!”
“What can we do?”
In Heavenly Thunder City, voices full of anxiety rang out.
Emperor Leiwu looked at the Master of the Wu Family, who was being continuously beaten back by the heavenly lightning and was on the verge of perishing, and he sighed softly.
Although he wanted to intervene, the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation should not be interfered with.
Otherwise, he himself would be implicated.
In the sky.
The resolute-faced Master of the Wu Family looked toward the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation still forming in the sky and felt a sense of despair.
“Alas, heaven wants to destroy me!”
He opened his arms and howled at the sky.
“Master!”
All the cultivators of the Wu Family clenched their fists, their eyes brimming with tears.
The Master was their family’s hope. Should he succeed in breaking through, the Wu Family could become a Three-star Force, with soaring status, and the future momentum of their development would explode.
But now, the Master could not hold on!
Everyone felt a sense of despair.
“Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella, open!”
Just when all parties were helpless, Ye Feng threw out a paper umbrella, opening it midair.
Whoosh!
With a slight tremor of the umbrella canopy, the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning, after striking, unexpectedly curved away. It no longer targeted the desperate Master of the Wu Family but was absorbed by the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella.
“Who intervened?”
“I thought heavenly tribulations couldn’t be interfered with?”
Leaders of various forces were paying attention to this event. They thought the Master of the Wu Family wouldn’t hold on, but just at the critical moment, a strange paper umbrella appeared and devoured the lightning.
“Sect Master Ye, what kind of spiritual treasure is this that it can absorb the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation?” Emperor Leiwu asked in astonishment.
“Just an ordinary paper umbrella,” Ye Feng replied with a mysterious look on his face.
This was a reward from the system, and he was not at liberty to disclose it.
High in the sky.
The Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella continuously absorbed the heavenly tribulation’s lightning, allowing the Master of the Wu Family to survive.
He began to sit cross-legged in mid-air, absorbing nature’s spiritual energy to replenish himself, and smoothly entered the first level of the Divine Origin Realm.
Swoosh!
After absorbing the heavenly lightning, the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella automatically closed and headed towards the Leiwu Martial Imperial Palace.
“So it was Emperor Leiwu who took action!”
“We thank Emperor Leiwu!”
Seeing the direction in which the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella was falling, the Master of the Wu Family was stunned for a moment, then bent over to express his gratitude.
“Cough cough! You have mistaken, it was not I who intervened. I do not possess such a heaven-defying ability. We must thank Sect Master Ye of the Misty Sect for taking action. Come and express your gratitude quickly!” Emperor Leiwu hurriedly corrected him.
His voice was loud and clear, spreading throughout Heavenly Thunder City, clearly heard by everyone, and it immediately caused a sensation.
“Sect Master Ye of the Misty Sect?”
The Master of the Wu Family was taken aback, immediately flying towards the Leiwu Martial Imperial Palace, and saw, seated beside Emperor Leiwu, the composed Ye Feng.
And the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella was floating above Ye Feng’s head, its surface flashing with many terrifying heavenly thunders.
“This is Sect Master Ye of the Misty Sect, a Grandmaster of Magic, skilled in divination. In his presence, even I am but a junior,” Emperor Leiwu introduced solemnly.
“What!”
A shock ran through the Master of the Wu Family’s heart.
If even the Half-step Void Break Emperor Leiwu considered himself a junior, then wasn’t this Sect Master Ye at the level of an ancient ancestor of the Void Break Realm?
“Ss!”
The Master of the Wu Family took a sharp breath in hindsight, and quickly knelt on the ground, repeatedly expressing his thanks.
