Chapter 558: Chapter 558 Thunder Beast’s Talent, Heavenly Stele Fragment (Part 2)
“There’s no need for such formality!”
Ye Feng waved his hand, and the invisible Heroic Spirit Power lifted the Master of the Wu Family, making the latter even more respectful.
“Enough, let’s not disturb Sect Master Ye’s meditation here,” Emperor Leiwu said impatiently, waving his hand.
“The junior will take his leave now!”
The Master of the Wu Family hurriedly left the Leiwu Martial Imperial Palace.
Once he was gone, Emperor Leiwu turned to Ye Feng with a smile and asked, “Sect Master Ye, how do you think I did?”
“Very well!” Ye Feng expressed his satisfaction.
He had previously been worried about how to increase the prestige of the Misty Sect, but now, wasn’t opportunity knocking?
As expected.
In just half a day, the name “Misty Sect” spread throughout Heavenly Thunder City, and their reputation soared.
Almost everyone knew that the mysterious Sect Master Ye was a Grandmaster of Magic with an esteemed status. Even half-step Void Break Emperor Leiwu referred to himself as a junior in his presence.
Then, some cultivators who had traveled to Whitefloat City through the medium-sized transport formation and heard of the reputation of the Misty Sect immediately came forward and spoke of Ye Feng’s glorious achievements in the Mystique Capital’s great battle against the Ancestral Tree Demon’s Split Soul.
Upon hearing the news, all were shocked.
Many cultivators immediately thought of sending their juniors to the Misty Sect.
The Leiwu Martial Imperial Palace.
[Sect Prestige Value +28742]
…
[Sect Prestige Value +37662]
Continuous system prompts sounded in Ye Feng’s ears, but he didn’t have the leisure to pay attention to them. Instead, he looked at the table.
At that moment, the Thunder Beast Baby was lying on the table, looking up and devouring the Heavenly Thunder emitted from the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella.
Crackle and pop!
The sound of thunder was incessant, flickering and fading without end.
As the Thunder Beast Baby continued to devour the Heavenly Thunder, its eyes gradually became bright and lively.
Whoosh!
The next moment, it ran out.
“Follow it!”
Ye Feng immediately took to the air with Hu Feifei and followed the Thunder Beast Baby. Emperor Leiwu scratched his head and also began to follow.
“Sect Master, what are we going to do?”
Hu Feifei pursed her lips, her small face full of confusion and dissatisfaction.
Initially, she wanted to devour the Heavenly Thunder.
But Ye Feng stopped her and began to engage in a lengthy deduction. In the end, he even let the Thunder Beast Baby devour the Heavenly Thunder.
This made Hu Feifei very unhappy.
Pouting, she felt that Ye Feng no longer loved her.
“I just conducted a complex calculation and discovered that every time the Thunder Beast Baby devours a bolt of Heavenly Thunder, it can conduct a treasure hunt, firmly locking onto the most valuable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within tens of thousands of miles,” Ye Feng explained.
Upon hearing this, envy filled Emperor Leiwu’s eyes.
With the Thunder Beast, Ye Feng could find even more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and would surely be wealthy beyond measure in the future.
Whoosh!
The group soared through the air and arrived at a deserted valley tens of thousands of miles away from Heavenly Thunder City.
“Eh, it’s this place!”
Emperor Leiwu recognized the place. “Sect Master Ye, this place is known as ‘Thunder Desolate Valley.’ It is said that all thunder avoids this valley for some unknown reason.”
“Because there is a special treasure here,” Ye Feng said with certainty.
“Oo-woof!”
The Thunder Beast Baby landed in the center of Thunder Desolate Valley. Its chubby little paws began to dig, burrowing dozens of miles deep and eventually pulling up a dirt-covered broken stele, laying it in front of Ye Feng.
“This item is very ancient, but it has no spiritual essence. It’s probably not a treasure, right?”
Emperor Leiwu said, scratching his head.
Ye Feng did not respond.
He reached out and touched different spots on the broken stele.
Crack!
The outer layer of the stele gradually fell off, revealing its true form.
It was grey-white all over, with many ancient patterns on its surface, containing a great deal of special spatial essence, shimmering brightly.
[Name: Heavenly Stele Fragment]
[Grade: Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure (Sealed)]
[Note: One of the Heavenly Stele fragments. There are three fragments in total. When gathered, they can open a space-time passage to the Tenth Great Mountain Range of the Shenzhou Continent at any time.]
This was the information Ye Feng saw.
“The Tenth Great Mountain Range,” these five words made his pupils shrink.
The Shenzhou Continent had nine great holy lands, five great forbidden zones, and ten great mountain ranges, among which nine of the mountain ranges were located on the surface of the Shenzhou Continent, filled with powerful creatures and dangerous terrains.
The Tenth Great Mountain Range, however, was a secretive floating mountain range.
Nobody knew where it actually was.
Ye Feng only knew that every once in a while, the Suspended Mountain would randomly appear in any location on the Shenzhou Continent.
“I didn’t expect the Thunder Beast Baby’s talent to be so incredible, it actually found me a Heavenly Stele Fragment.”
“As long as I deduce with the Heavenly Stele Fragment, I will definitely be able to gather the remaining two pieces in the future and open the space-time passage to the Suspended Mountain.”
“I just don’t know what treasures the Suspended Mountain really holds.”
So, Ye Feng planned in his heart.
“Well done!” He poked the Thunder Beast Baby’s head with his hand and rubbed its brow, making it look utterly content.
“Sect Master, what is this thing?”
Hu Feifei pointed at the Heavenly Stele Fragment, her small face filled with curiosity.
Emperor Leiwu was also very curious.
But he dared not ask.
“It’s not convenient to say right now,” Ye Feng added. “Wait until the remaining two pieces are found, and it forms a complete Spiritual Treasure, then announcing it will not be too late.”
“Oh!” Hu Feifei was not too concerned.
The Heavenly Stele Fragment could not be devoured, she didn’t really want it, but she would definitely want the Fierce Thunder Vajra Umbrella if it were available.
To her, that umbrella was like a meal ticket!
“Let’s go back!”
Ye Feng said to everyone, then flew towards the Leiwu Martial Imperial Palace.
Hum!
A beam of white light rose from the medium-sized teleportation formation inside the palace, and right after that, a man wearing a black dragon robe walked out slowly.
“I’ve finally arrived!”
The Lingmiao Emperor looked around and found a cultivator responsible for guarding the teleportation array, saying, “I am the emperor of the Mystique Kingdom, take me to see your emperor.”
“Sect Master Ye, this is as far as I’ll accompany you.”
“No problem, I can go back on my own.”
At that moment, two familiar voices came from outside the teleportation hall, drawing the attention of the Lingmiao Emperor.
Right after that.
Several familiar figures walked slowly into the great hall.
Seeing Ye Feng and Emperor Leiwu at the front, the Lingmiao Emperor immediately saluted, “Sect Master Ye, Emperor Leiwu, it turns out you two are here. I happen to have something to discuss with you both!”
“Eh, it’s the Lingmiao Emperor!”
“What’s the matter?”
Ye Feng and Emperor Leiwu were both surprised by the arrival of the Lingmiao Emperor.
Half a quarter later.
Leiwu Martial Imperial Palace, Hall of Esteemed Guests.
Upon hearing the Lingmiao Emperor’s intentions, both Ye Feng and Emperor Leiwu’s eyes widened with a strong interest showing on their faces.
The Lingmiao Emperor was actually planning to hold a competition for the esteemed young talents!
The competitors included any aspiring young heroes from the Mystique Kingdom and the Leiwu Dynasty, who would fight on the platform to determine the strongest of their level.
The victor would also receive a generous reward.
“What do you two think of my suggestion?” the Lingmiao Emperor asked.
Ever since he learned that the Misty Sect had installed a medium-sized teleportation formation in Whitefloat City that could transport directly to Heavenly Thunder City, he immediately ordered the construction of a bidirectional small-scale teleportation array to connect Mystique Capital and Whitefloat City.
As a result, traveling from Mystique Capital to Heavenly Thunder City, if quick, would take less than a quarter of an hour.
Moreover, the cost of teleportation was very cheap.
Round trip only required five middle-grade Spirit Stones, which was much cheaper than taking the detour through Jiaoyang Holy City.
Therefore, he decided to strengthen the ties between the two great nations by organizing the battle of lofty youths to promote forming an alliance.
Emperor Leiwu was a shrewd person as well.
He quickly understood the Lingmiao Emperor’s intentions.
He was not opposed, but expressed his agreement.
“I think this is a good idea, letting the talented youths of both nations spar and learn from each other, which will enable them to progress faster,” he said.
“That’s good, I also support this,” Sect Master Ye nodded.
If the disciples of the Misty Sect could show their might in the competition between the two nations’ talented youths, the prestige of the Misty Sect would surely rise even higher.
At that time, people would be clamoring to become disciples.
Wouldn’t his strength also be elevated accordingly?
