Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Top Forces in Shenzhou, Cangqing Ancient Tower
“Misty Sect’s Sect Master, Ye Feng!”
The towering young man carrying the heavy sword looked at Ye Feng with piercing eyes, full of wariness.
This person’s arms hung at his sides, his fists clenched tightly, his aura full of a chilling sword intent; he was known as the Sword Dao Heavenly Emperor.
“Who are you?” Ye Feng asked the man.
“I am Wu Xuan, son of the Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone!” the towering young man replied in a deep voice, as the heavy sword on his back trembled slightly, as if excited.
Rip!
The sound of space being torn apart rang out again.
A burly giant, standing three meters tall, appeared.
He was dressed in gold-colored heavy armor, with a single horn on his forehead, resembling a rhinoceros, and his ears, unlike those of ordinary people, were large, similar to those of a rhinoceros.
Ye Feng swept the area with his Divine Sense.
Afterward, he realized this man was indeed the Rhinoceros Heavenly Emperor.
“So it is the Rhinoceros Heavenly Emperor from one of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges, the Broken Heaven Mountain Range. What, were you also invited by that scoundrel Xiao Cangtian?” Wu Xuan of the Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone asked in a deep voice.
“Nonsense!” the Rhinoceros Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly.
As one of the top Heavenly Demon Emperors of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges, the Rhinoceros Heavenly Emperor always disliked the notorious people from the forbidden zones.
Therefore, he did not give Wu Xuan a good look.
If not for the chance to meet the top Heavenly Emperors from all the major top forces, the Rhinoceros Heavenly Emperor would not have shown himself.
Rip!
The void was torn apart yet again.
One by one, top-level Heavenly Emperors appeared, and by their sides, more or less, were Quasi-Saint Level Protectors, all very strong.
“Supreme Heaven, Xu Rong, Fusang, Thorns, Cang Qing… aside from Xiao Cangtian, the top Heavenly Emperors from the previous four Forbidden Zones have all arrived.”
Ye Feng looked around, whispering as he observed the formidable presence of those strong figures.
The faces of the Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword and others behind him were grave.
Although their strengths were not bad, and in the Void Break Realm they were considered high-end combatants, they didn’t account for much in the face of this grand event hosted by Xiao Cangtian.
At present, not everyone had arrived, but the scene had already seen dozens of top-level Heavenly Emperors.
Among them, there were quite a few Quasi-Saint Protectors.
Although everyone was keeping a low profile and not deliberately exuding pressure, just standing there gave a sense of devastating power.
Those people glanced at Ye Feng, their eyes revealing a sense of dread.
“Sect Master, are these the Heavenly Emperors of the Shenzhou Continent’s major top forces?” Long Tian Xing asked in a deep voice.
He could feel that every person present was terrifying.
If those people wanted to kill him, they wouldn’t even need to lift a finger; a mere glare would suffice to doom him forever.
“Yes,” Ye Feng nodded.
“The top forces of the Shenzhou Continent are the Nine Great Holy Lands, the Ten Great Mountain Ranges, the Five Great Forbidden Zones, and in addition, the Hundred Strong Five-Star Forces.”
“For this event, most of the Five-Star Forces were not qualified to be invited; the majority are from the Holy Lands, the Ten Great Mountain Ranges, and the Five Great Forbidden Zones.”
“Not quite right!”
“The people from the tenth mountain range, ‘Suspended Mountain,’ didn’t come, so it is only the Nine Great Mountain Ranges,” Ye Feng looked around and added.
Suspended Mountain floated in the sky, its presence concealed.
Usually, it was said that even those in the Saint Realm couldn’t find the Suspended Mountain. Only through a complete version of the heavenly Stele could one open the passage and enter Suspended Mountain with legal identity.
Otherwise, one would be expelled by the power of the rules.
“Indeed, Suspended Mountain was not invited, after all, even this young master cannot contact them,” a dignified voice rang out.
Everyone turned towards the source of the voice, only to see Xiao Cangtian, Bai Ji, and a Quasi-Saint Protector appearing not far away.
Behind them followed two rows of maids.
Each one was fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, and a figure that was boldly curvaceous and nearly bursting forth. Carrying flower baskets in their left hands and continuously scattering fresh flowers with their right, they filled the air with fragrance that was refreshing and soothing to the heart.
“Ladies and gentlemen, follow me!”
Xiao Cangtian cast a meaningful glance at Ye Feng, who remained calm. Xiao Cangtian snorted inwardly and threw a palm strike towards the distance.
Boom!
The palm print thundered out, accompanied by the sound of dragon’s roar, hitting the area below. It did not cause the void to shatter or the earth to collapse but made the void ripple like water.
The mighty force of a One-Turn Quasi-Saint slowly released.
Even the Quasi-Saint Protectors present felt a heavy pressure sink in at the display of such power.
“Hmph!”
“Always showing off!”
“Just because he ascended to a One-Turn Quasi-Saint, he has to show off like that—does he think we wouldn’t know otherwise?”
Many top Heavenly Emperors rolled their eyes.
At that moment, the space below that Xiao Cangtian had sent ripples through gradually became blurry.
Soon after, a completely different scene appeared.
The previously barren area surprisingly revealed a bustling ancient city; obviously, the previous scene was just an illusion, and what now lay before them was the true sight of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone.
“Fellow Daoists, please!”
Xiao Cangtian took the lead, descending towards the ancient city below.
The crowd exchanged glances and follow suit.
They weren’t particularly worried about Xiao Cangtian setting a trap; after all, each of them had the backing of sects on the level of Holy Lands, and they doubted Xiao Cangtian would dare to do them any harm.
As everyone entered the ancient city below, the aqueous waves rose again, shrouding the area from view.
From above, looking down.
The area was as desolate and ancient as ever.
To those unfamiliar, they would never guess that within this region of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone there lay an expansive city stretching over a thousand miles.
On the ground.
The group looked around.
This ancient city was named Cangqing Ancient City and stretched over a thousand miles.
It was home to many ancient beings whose attire differed greatly from the outside world, presenting an even more antiquated appearance.
At the center of the city stood a peak towering ten thousand feet tall.
At the summit of the mountain, an ancient tower stood quietly.
“My friends, this is the Cangqing Ancient Tower, constructed tens of thousands of years ago from a star that fell from the heavens; it possesses the effects of concentrating the spirit and accelerating one’s cultivation speed,”
“Having ascended to a One-Turn Quasi-Saint, your humble son of heaven has no one to share the joy with, thus specially inviting you all to this banquet,” said Xiao Cangtian, pointing at the ancient tower and speaking slowly.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became strange.
Xiao Cangtian was the first to brag about becoming a Quasi-Saint in such a shameless manner.
Even Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.
“What a shameless man!”, the individuals from Misty Sect all had peculiar expressions on their faces.
Cangqing Ancient Tower.
As Ye Feng and the others ascended the tower, they discovered that it was actually square-shaped, a hundred yards in length and width, and a thousand yards high, comprising thirty-three floors, symbolizing the Thirty-three Heavens.
The group sat on the rooftop terrace.
The place was spacious, offering a unique landscape.
Tables were already set up on the terrace, with Ye Feng and his eight companions occupying one table on their own, while individuals from the other forces mingled and took their seats together.
Soon after, flavorful dishes were served.
Li Jiaojiao noticed that the food, cooked with materials from the Forbidden Area, contained energy that had been perfectly utilized, clearly prepared by a top-tier Spirit Chef.
With just one bite, one’s cultivation level could soar!
“These dishes are good; you all can eat,” Ye Feng said, looking around at his disciples.
Nine people from Misty Sect had come.
Ye Feng, Hu Feifei, Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword, Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect, Mo Ying, Long Tianxing, Li Jiaojiao, Qiao Jiaxi, and Huo Yunjie.
Apart from the first four, the last five were disciples.
After taking a bite of the food, they felt as if they had plunged into a sea of flowers, inhaling the fragrance and feeling completely relaxed while their cultivation levels surged explosively.
“Such potent power!” exclaimed Huo Yunjie, astounded that just one bite brought him to the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, breaking through a minor realm.
“Indeed, not bad,” Mo Ying also took a few bites, and her cultivation level automatically broke through to the sixth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
Li Jiaojiao, Long Tianxing, and Qiao Jiaxi experienced the same effect.
For them, this banquet truly was a feast of skyrocketing cultivation levels!
“Xiao Cangtian must have some motive behind this generosity, right?” said Long Tianxing, unable to keep the suspicion from his voice amongst the excitement.
He had set up a soundproofing formation.
However, most of the people present were top Heavenly Emperors; in front of them, a soundproofing formation was as good as nonexistent, and naturally, they heard every word clearly.
At that comment, they all looked over.
Even Xiao Cangtian set down his wine cup.
At that moment.
Long Tianxing gritted his teeth, wanting to slap himself. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
