Chapter 622: Chapter 622: The Patron of the Demon God Temple Master, Three-Star Certification
The Master of the Eighteen Ancient Clans expended his energy to tear open the prohibition, moving the eighteen Holy Temples to the Misty Sect and suspending them in the air.
As for the Little Desolate Realm, it has now been sealed.
Those from the outside can’t enter, nor can the wild beasts within come out.
Of course, entering is not impossible.
As long as one holds an array talisman crafted by the Master of the Eighteen Ancient Clans, they can enter the Little Desolate Realm for training.
At this moment, in the high sky.
Ye Feng stood suspended in the air, looking at the eighteen colossal Holy Temples, he thought for a moment and said, “Set the Holy Temples at a distance of a thousand feet from the ground, their height level with the peak of Misty Peak.”
“Yes.”
The Master of the Eighteen Ancient Clans immediately took action.
With their hands forming seals, the eighteen Holy Temples arranged themselves into a circular formation with a diameter of ten miles, slowly revolving around the summit of Misty Peak.
“Let it be like this for now!”
Ye Feng gave a few more instructions and returned to the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
The Master of the Eighteen Ancient Clans came to the summit of Misty Peak.
After an enormous terrestrial transformation, the summit of Misty Peak expanded to cover several square miles, with much open space. Each of the Clan Masters chose an area to release the classical buildings they carried and took residence within.
Mystique Capital.
Gong Qingqiu found the Third Prince and informed him that the Misty Sect was going to undergo a Three-Star accreditation, which immediately captured his attention.
…
Heavenly Origin Domain.
The central part of Shenzhou Continent is the Heavenly Origin Sea that spans for several billion miles, along with the surrounding Nine Great Holy Lands. This fertile land is collectively known as the “Heavenly Origin Domain,” the center of the entire Shenzhou Continent.
In the northern part of the Heavenly Origin Domain.
Here lies a Holy City inhabited by countless beings.
Martial Glory Holy City!
This city is an affiliate of the Martial Glory Holy Land—one of the Nine Great Holy Lands—and like Jiaoyang Holy Land, it is a force of Five-Star Rank.
“Hehe, finally arrived!”
A figure wearing a mask arrived at Martial Glory Holy City, emitting the aura of the Fourth Layer of the Void Break Realm.
If someone were nearby, they would be shocked.
Because, behind this person was a Dharma Aspect standing ten thousand feet tall, holding a colossal black God Temple in its hand.
If Ye Feng were here, he would stare with anger.
Because this person was none other than the Demon God Temple Master who had absconded with the Demon God Temple and had made several moves against the Misty Sect.
Below was a lavish estate.
With the arrival of the Demon God Temple Master, from within the estate, two Divine Origin Realm Peak guards clad in armor immediately took to the air, firmly gripping their long halberds and aiming them at the Demon God Temple Master.
“Who goes there, state your name!”
Their voices boomed, rolling like thunder.
“Calm your anger, Divine Generals, I am the Demon God Temple Master from Jiaoyang Holy City. I am here to pay a visit to Ancestor Linghui,” said the Demon God Temple Master, bowing his hands respectfully.
He appeared very deferent.
Under normal circumstances, let alone Divine Origin Realm Peak, even if a Third Layer Void Break Ancestor dared to treat him with such an attitude, he would slap them dead with one palm.
But this “Ancestor Linghui” was no simple character.
The opponent’s cultivation had reached the Ninth Layer of Void Break Realm. Although not yet at the Peak of Void Break Realm and lacking the title of “Heavenly Emperor,” in the Void Break Realm, such strength was already considered top-notch.
The Demon God Temple Master wouldn’t dare to offend even a dog kept by the other party, let alone two guards.
“Wait!”
Upon learning the identity and intentions of the Demon God Temple Master, one of the Divine Generals immediately took out a message transmission jade slip to report the matter.
“Come in!”
A moment later, a voice came from inside the estate.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
In the backyard of the estate.
The Demon God Temple Master stood respectfully before a golden-haired elder, as humble as could be.
The elder was imposing and majestic.
He did not look young, but he was full of vitality, with a head of luxuriant golden hair casually draped, conveying a sense of unruly boldness.
His ten fingernails were also golden, shining brilliantly.
“Junior, what brings you to seek this old ancestor?”
The Ancestor Linghui placed down his Spirit Treasure-level teacup, looking impatiently at the Demon God Temple Master.
“Ancestor Linghui, do you still remember ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’? The Divine Skill created by Emperor Beihe, previously we had only an incomplete version, but now, Junior has found the complete one… and moreover, someone can execute all seven steps in succession, unleashing its utmost power.”
Crack!
With a tremor in his aura, the Spirit Treasure-level teacup beside Ancestor Linghui burst apart, a clear sign of his inner shock.
“Are you sure?”
Ancestor Linghui’s eyes grew wide with excitement as he reached out and grasped the Demon God Temple Master’s throat.
Emperor Beihe…
He was a thorn in Ancestor Linghui’s side.
In recollection, when Emperor Beihe had emerged, he created the Divine Skill ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’, sweeping through the many Void Break Ancestors of the great Holy Cities and establishing his name as a “Great Emperor”.
And Ancestor Linghui, too, was one of the stepping stones.
Ancestor Linghui harbored a deep resentment towards Emperor Beihe.
Alas, without powerful Divine Skills, he could never be a match for Emperor Beihe, so after Emperor Beihe mysteriously vanished, he constantly sought after the Divine Skill ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’.
By chance, he encountered the Demon God Temple Master.
Unfortunately, the ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’ that the Demon God Temple Master obtained was not the complete version, capable of executing only five steps at most.
With that alone, there was no way he could defeat Emperor Beihe.
Now, hearing that someone could perform the complete version of ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’, how could Ancestor Linghui not be astounded?
“Cough, cough, cough…”
After a few violent coughs, the Demon God Temple Master patted the hand clasping his throat, prompting Ancestor Linghui to finally release his grip.
“This is absolutely true!”
The Demon God Temple Master patted his chest, “If it’s false, the Senior may deal with this Junior as he pleases.”
“Hmph! As if you would dare to deceive me.”
Ancestor Linghui washed his hands, “So, what is your purpose in telling this Emperor the news?”
“The one who has obtained ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’ is Sect Master Ye Feng from Mystique Kingdom’s Misty Sect. I have a vendetta against this man. As long as the Senior can eliminate him and pass on the subsequent cultivation technique of ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’ to me…”
“Wishful thinking!”
Ancestor Linghui snorted coldly. With a surge of his aura, he pinned the Demon God Temple Master to the ground, “No way ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’ will be passed on to you… However, if what you say is true, I’ll impart to you the sixth step.”
“Thank you, Senior!”
The Demon God Temple Master chuckled inwardly.
His eyes, filled with resentment, turned to the south.
“Ye Feng, now that I’ve found Ancestor Linghui, a power nearly reaching the Heavenly Emperor Level, even if you have Yuzhu backing you up, what can you do… just wait for your death!”
He clenched his fist and laughed sinisterly.
Ancestor Linghui gave the Demon God Temple Master a glance, his expression complex, as if looking at a fool.
…
Misty Sect.
“Sect Master Ye, congratulations, congratulations!”
The Third Prince Ling Luotian, First Princess Ling Yue, the grey-robed elder, and many Appraisal Elders from the Royal Capital appeared on the summit of Misty Peak through the Teleportation Array, and immediately cupped their hands in a greeting upon seeing Ye Feng.
“Congratulations for what?”
Ye Feng showed a puzzled expression.
“With the resources of Misty Sect, passing the Three-Star Rank examination is certainly simple, so congratulations in advance.”
The Third Prince smiled.
He already knew that Whitefloat City had been promoted to a Two-Star Rank force, and with the foundation of the Misty Sect itself, there was no doubt about passing the evaluation.
He felt that his visit was basically just a formality, as there would be nothing hindering Misty Sect in ascending to the Five-Star Rank before the results were announced.
“Let’s not talk of this until the results are out. Come on, let’s start the appraisal!” said Ye Feng.
“Very well,” replied the Third Prince with a nod.
First Princess Ling Yue, watching Ye Feng’s profile and thinking about the recent events, silently lowered her head, remaining speechless.
“What shall I do?”
“Sect Master Ye’s strength has recovered, and with my own, I’m simply not his match!”
Ling Yue bit her red lip, sighing quietly to herself.
