Chapter 673: Chapter 673: The Newly Promoted One-Turn Quasi-Saint, The Flame Azure Bird Delivers an Invitation
The Quasi-Saint Protector was also overjoyed.
Whether the fusion of Qi was successful or not all depended on whether the terrifying World-Ending Heavenly Calamity would descend from the sky.
And now, the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity was imminent.
Both knew very well what that meant.
“He did it!”
“The young master has truly succeeded!”
“Next, as long as he crosses this Quasi-Saint World-Ending Heavenly Calamity, the young master will be able to smoothly ascend as a One-Turn Quasi-Saint.”
“At that time, the mere Ye Feng can be suppressed with a simple gesture of the hand!”
Bai Ji said excitedly.
The Quasi-Saint Protector next to her didn’t speak, but the expression in her eyes gradually relaxed, also believing that Xiao Cangtian would be able to suppress Ye Feng once he became a Quasi-Saint.
“Hahahaha…”
Xiao Cangtian suddenly laughed uproariously.
He had been in closed-door cultivation for a while, finally managing to successfully merge the Primordial Ancient Dragon Bloodline with the Ancient Heroic Spirit Force, and as long as he overcame the tribulation, he could instantly step into the Quasi-Saint Level.
“My spring has arrived!”
Xiao Cangtian laughed once again.
He soared into the sky, entering the rolling thunder. With hands forming seals, a faint golden Primordial Ancient Dragon immediately merged with him, becoming a Golden Dragon as if from ancient times.
“Roar!”
It exhaled dragon breath, destroying vast stretches of the void.
His combat strength fully entered the Quasi-Saint Level. If it were the time he fought with Ye Feng earlier, with Xiao Cangtian’s current state, in no more than three moves, he could crush the then Ye Feng.
However, Xiao Cangtian did not dare to be complacent.
He had heard early on that Ye Feng could slay top-tier Heavenly Emperors, and recently, he had even displayed an aura several times that of a One-Turn Quasi-Saint, overpowering the Supreme Gold Prophet of the Prophet Clan with formidable presence.
“Ye Feng must have already advanced to Quasi-Saint.”
“However, now I too have become a Quasi-Saint, and with my foundation, I am definitely not inferior to him!”
“Hahahaha!”
The Golden Dragon that Xiao Cangtian had transformed into laughed loudly, even starting to devour the Heavenly Thunder with a divine might that overshadowed all.
Crackle!
Ruthless Heavenly Thunder struck down, hitting the golden, rhomboid dragon scales and immediately exploding, but only charring the dragon scales, unable to break the defense.
“Roar!”
As Xiao Cangtian roared, golden light soared from his body, cleaning the charred dragon scales until they shone with a penetrating cold light.
In the deepest part of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone.
A hidden figure within the mist looked up at the sky, her gaze landing upon the vast World-Ending Heavenly Calamity, her lips slightly parting.
“Worthy of being the Chosen One, even though he has yet to ascend as the Son of Destiny, he already shows the potential of the invincible, and breaking the tribulation should be no problem.”
The figure whispered to herself.
In the high sky.
Xiao Cangtian moved his body, heavy as several worlds, casually shattering the void and devouring a massive amount of thunder, his aura growing ever more formidable.
The fearsome thunder simply couldn’t penetrate his defenses.
Misty Sect.
Ye Feng felt something and took out the Wind Spirit Pearl, observing the scene within it reached after expending 10 strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy to forecast.
In the scene.
Thunder rolled.
A Golden Dragon was enduring the baptism of countless Heavenly Tribulations, its body unscathed, its aura growing increasingly strong.
“Xiao Cangtian is about to ascend to Quasi-Saint.”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
Although it was only a One-Turn Quasi-Saint, the two forces that Xiao Cangtian had merged were very strong, several times that of an ordinary One-Turn Quasi-Saint.
This level of strength was monstrous!
The so-called ordinary One-Turn Quasi-Saints are those who have merged any two types of the five elemental energies: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Such Quasi-Saints are considered the baseline.
Normally, Quasi-Saints who fuse other types of spiritual energies are somewhat more powerful than the ordinary Quasi-Saints.
But that’s not an absolute.
Some top-tier Heavenly Emperors are unlucky. They try to merge two originally powerful energies, but encounter problems later on, resulting in a foundation weaker than ordinary Quasi-Saints, with strength below the baseline.
Of course, this situation is rare.
In other Forbidden Areas, mountain ranges, and Holy Lands, there are Quasi-Saint level elites who have forecasted the entire process of Xiao Cangtian’s tribulation.
“What a Xiao Cangtian, to have taken the lead in becoming a Quasi-Saint.”
Some geniuses sighed slightly.
They were once top-tier Heavenly Emperors, comparable or even superior to Xiao Cangtian.
However, Xiao Cangtian had broken through ahead of them.
The gap between the two sides instantly widened to about tenfold.
The Cangqing Forbidden Zone.
Xiao Cangtian looked at the Tribulation Clouds in the sky gradually fading away, transforming into human form, with a smug smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
“Very good!”
“This young master has become a One-Turn Quasi-Saint.”
“Bai Ji, heed my command!”
“Write the invitations immediately, widely inviting the top Heavenly Emperors and Quasi-Saints of various major forces across the Shenzhou Continent to attend a banquet at the Cangqing Ancient Tower in the Cangqing Forbidden Zone half a month from now.”
Xiao Cangtian, hands clasped behind his back, spoke in a clear and loud voice.
“Yes!” Bai Ji quickly drafted the invitations and sent them out promptly.
…
Misty Peak.
A gigantic bird with wing span of over a hundred zhang and a body engulfed in raging flames flew slowly and stopped near the summit.
With a “whoosh,”
the Flame Azure Bird transformed into a handsome young man in a green robe with a black mole at the corner of his mouth.
His presence was extraordinary, having reached the seventh level of Void Break.
However, faced with Ye Feng, who could slay top-level Heavenly Emperors, the young man dared not show the slightest disrespect.
“Sect Master Ye, this is an invitation from our young master Xiao Cangtian, inviting heroes from all over to attend a banquet at the Cangqing Ancient Tower in the Cangqing Forbidden Zone.”
“The time is half a month from now.”
The young man presented an invitation.
“Hmph!”
Ye Feng let out a cold snort.
Even though the sound contained no pressure, it frightened the young man so much that he immediately knelt down, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
“Xiao Cangtian has advanced to Quasi-Saint—probably wants to challenge me publicly, doesn’t he?” said Ye Feng with a cold laugh.
“No, you misunderstand, Sect Master Ye. Our young master simply wishes to invite you to the banquet,” the young man quickly explained, fearing that a single slap from Ye Feng would smack him to death.
“I see.”
Ye Feng accepted the invitation. “You may go.”
“Yes.” The young man wanted to ask Ye Feng if he would actually attend the banquet in the Cangqing Forbidden Zone, but then he thought that he was nearly risking his life just by delivering an invitation and decided it was better to make a quick exit!
Shortly after, the young man left.
Ye Feng sat in his seat, casually tossing the invitation onto a table made of Purple Bamboo, then looked at the scene not far away, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
In the Sect Main Plaza,
two groups of disciples were confronting each other.
One side consisted of Second-generation Disciples.
The other was made up of Third Generation Disciples.
Xu Dalei, Mu Sisi, Shen Yu, Ning Xiangxiang, Lei Xiaohu, Lan Die, and other Second-generation Disciples had advanced to the Spirit Sea Realm, becoming the leaders among the Second-generation Disciples.
The Third Generation Disciples were led by Han Yonghui.
“Why do you Third Generation junior brothers and sisters have such a strong competitive spirit?”
“That’s right, you’ve just joined the Sect not long ago and already want to challenge us, simply overestimating yourselves,” someone among the Second-generation Disciples shouted.
“Senior brothers and sisters, we are new here and would like to receive your guidance. Why not dare to come out for a battle?” someone among the Third Generation Disciples called out.
“Just entered the Sect, and haven’t even settled in properly before starting to challenge the Second-generation Disciples. These disciples from the Cave Heaven World sure have guts, making one exclaim in admiration!” Ye Feng looked at the two confronting sides on the Sect Main Plaza, his mouth curving into a smile.
He didn’t stop them.
Sparring between disciples was also a way to improve oneself; there was certainly no need to interfere.
However, sparring should not escalate into hatred.
If it did, then Ye Feng would personally take action to clean house.
Within Misty Sect, there could be arguments and different voices, but there could be no hatred.
Hatred could blind one’s eyes.
This was undesirable.
With a “clang,”
Ning Xiangxiang, from among the Second-generation Disciples, drew her longsword, slowly releasing the oppressive power of the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
Ning Xiangxiang was from one of the Top Ten Noble Families in County King City— the Ning Family.
Since joining the Misty Sect, her cultivation had continuously increased to the Spirit Sea Realm, making her quite a master in the Ning Family of the County King City.
“Since you want to challenge us, then you’ll have to pass my level first.”
Ning Xiangxiang’s left hand formed a sword gesture, while her right hand held the sword. Her fluttering garments made her appear like a celestial maiden in the wind.
She stepped forward,
and a gentle Sword Intent began to emanate, imposing a considerable pressure on the Third Generation Disciples in front of her.
