Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Bluffing the Star River Quasi-Saint, Distributing Thunder Talismans (Make-up Update)
“Sect Master Ye, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” The Star River Quasi-Saint shook his head repeatedly, avoiding the topic at hand.
Ye Feng smiled.
He had seen through him with the Eye of Insight.
The Nine Cities Star Cloud was merely a Middle Thousand World, one level higher than the Lesser Thousand Worlds, but far inferior to the Shenzhou Continent, a Great Thousand World. It lacked a true Heavenly Dao and could not produce a Saint Ascension Tribulation.
Therefore, the Star River Quasi-Saint could not become a Saint!
Unless he entered a Great Thousand World.
And wasn’t the nearest Great Thousand World the Shenzhou Continent?
Ye Feng had already figured out how to coax the Star River Quasi-Saint.
“You have no idea what I’m talking about?” Ye Feng picked up on the Star River Quasi-Saint’s words and smiled, “Then, let me ask you a question. As the ruler of the Nine Cities Star Cloud, you are the supreme authority here. No one can defy you, right?”
The Star River Quasi-Saint gave a dry laugh, “Although this saint’s cultivation level is decent, I would never bully the weak.”
“Admirable character. So, have you ever considered joining a Great Thousand World?” Ye Feng asked, shifting the direction of the conversation.
A Great Thousand World?!
The Star River Quasi-Saint’s heart skipped a beat.
He admitted, he really wanted to!
Even though with his current state he might not survive the Saint Ascension Tribulation, he didn’t want to wait until he had the power to transcend before searching for a Great Thousand World.
By then, it would be too late.
If he could join a Great Thousand World, perhaps he could use the power of that world to further enhance himself, ensuring a higher success rate for his subsequent tribulation.
Once successful, he would become the Star River Saint.
Thinking of this, the Star River Quasi-Saint became even more excited.
“Sect Master Ye, you are not from the Spirit Consolidating Realm, but from the Shenzhou Continent of the Great Thousand World level?”
The Star River Quasi-Saint asked tentatively.
He knew there was only one Great Thousand World nearby, and that was the renowned Shenzhou.
“That’s correct!”
Ye Feng had no need to hide it.
“I am a Celestial of the Thunder Palace from the Shenzhou Continent, in charge of Thunder Punishment. I can ensure your entry to the Shenzhou Continent, assisting you in gaining the qualifications for transcending tribulation.”
He extended his hand, and brilliant thunder light appeared in his palm.
That was the aura of the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity Source!
“Thunder Palace Celestial?”
The Star River Quasi-Saint had never heard of this title.
In fact, he had never been to the Shenzhou Continent, fearing being slain as an Outer Fiend by the Saints there.
His understanding of the Shenzhou Continent was limited to hearsay.
However, he truly longed for that world.
Feeling the pure aura of the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity in Ye Feng’s palm and seeing a phantom Thunder Palace slowly appear behind him, the Star River Quasi-Saint believed Ye Feng’s words.
He hurriedly clasped his hands and said, “Sect Master Ye, what must I do to gain the qualifications to transcend tribulation on the Shenzhou Continent?”
“Serve me,” Ye Feng added. “I have some matters that require your assistance. Once they are accomplished, you will naturally gain the qualifications. Rest assured, I guarantee it with my status as a Thunder Palace Celestial. There will be no issues.”
The Star River Quasi-Saint fell into thought.
He knew Ye Feng wouldn’t be so easy to deal with, but this was even better. He would help Ye Feng, and in return, Ye Feng, as a Thunder Palace Celestial, would grant him the qualifications to transcend tribulation. Mutually beneficial.
“Deal!”
A moment later, the Star River Quasi-Saint agreed happily.
“In the future, you will rejoice at today’s decision,” Ye Feng said with a smile, his eyes shining brightly.
He had already experimented on the Northern Emperor Star and communicated with the Heavenly Dao Remnants, confirming that the method of fortifying remnants by creating countless lower worlds indeed worked.
Therefore, after arriving at the Nine Cities Star Cloud, Ye Feng had already set his sights on this world.
With the assistance of the Star River Quasi-Saint, things would only go smoother.
“So, Sect Master Ye, what do you need this saint to do?” the Star River Quasi-Saint asked.
“You know, as a Thunder Palace Celestial from the Shenzhou Continent, I have many tribulation quotas to fill. There’s a yearly requirement for how many people need to transcend tribulation. If not met, the Heavenly Dao would punish me.”
“In recent years, I’ve noticed that the number of people transcending tribulation in the Shenzhou Continent has dwindled, almost making it impossible to meet my quota. My only choice was to expand outward.”
“In this process, I’ve found several worlds, including the Spirit Consolidating Realm, and obtained many quotas, but it’s still not enough.”
“Until today, when I found the Nine Cities Star Cloud.”
“I hope to let the people here transcend tribulation through the Thunder Palace in the Shenzhou Continent to help me fulfill my quota.”
Ye Feng began his divine-level persuasion.
“Is that so?”
The Star River Quasi-Saint was baffled, finding it unbelievable. He never imagined that Ye Feng, a Celestial, would actually have a tribulation quota!
This meant that by following Ye Feng, could he not also gain the qualifications for the Saint Ascension Tribulation?
Seeing his interested expression, Ye Feng maintained a poker face, but inwardly, he thought, “Hook, line, and sinker.”
“Of course, this is absolutely true,” Ye Feng nodded affirmatively.
“Rest assured, Sect Master Ye. Just tribulation, no problem, any random person will do. I will cooperate completely. Anyone who dares not to go through the Thunder Palace for tribulation, I will suppress them with a flick of my wrist!”
The Star River Quasi-Saint clenched his fists.
To obtain a tribulation slot, he decided to go all in. Whether he succeeded or not, it was worth a try.
“No need for such violence!” Ye Feng waved his hands repeatedly, “Passing the trial through Thunder Palace isn’t that simple.”
“Is it difficult?” the Star River Quasi-Saint asked, frowning slightly.
“You must hold a Thunder Talisman to pass the trial in Thunder Palace. Distribute these talismans among the various cultivation worlds,” Ye Feng said.
Ye Feng spread open his palm.
In the center of his palm, a hundred blue and white talismans appeared, each bearing a strong resemblance to the character for “thunder,” flickering with fierce lightning energy.
These talismans were crafted using the power of the Thunder Pool in Thunder Palace.
Beings not from the Shenzhou Continent must refine a Thunder Talisman to pass the trial in Thunder Palace.
In any place where someone has passed the trial using Thunder Palace before, that place would be marked by both Thunder Palace and the Heavenly Dao Remnants. Subsequently, when another cultivator meets the trial’s conditions, a Thunder Talisman would be generated for their use.
When a world has used Thunder Palace for trials many times, it will eventually be devoured by Shenzhou Continent, becoming a lower realm.
The above is Ye Feng’s plan.
“Sect Master Ye, rest assured, I will handle the distribution of the Thunder Talismans!” the Star River Quasi-Saint said as he took the hundred Thunder Talismans, and with a flicker of his body, he vanished.
Somewhere in the Nine Cities Star Cloud.
A Life Star with a diameter of eighty thousand miles.
The Star River Quasi-Saint grabbed the collar of a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, stuffing a Thunder Talisman into his hand.
“Refine this Thunder Talisman and pass through Thunder Palace’s trial; otherwise, I will smash your Heavenly Bamboo Star with a punch. Understand?” he threatened.
After speaking, he threw a punch.
Immediately, a deserted mountain in the distance crumbled into dust.
“Under… Understood!”
The Spirit Sea Realm cultivator was so frightened that his legs went soft, and he nearly fainted.
In the starry sky.
Ye Feng watched the scene with a twitch in the corner of his mouth.
Damn!
I hereby honor you as the strongest “Talisman Envoy”!
Initially, Ye Feng had not anticipated such a forceful method, but threatening cultivators to refine the Thunder Talisman and forcibly use Thunder Palace for their trials was frighteningly efficient, despite being terrifying.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon, someone on the eighty-thousand-mile-wide Heavenly Bamboo Star began their trial, and with the emergence of Thunder Palace, it stirred a sensation across the star.
Before long, the first cultivator completed his trial.
He entered Thunder Palace and could only see the upper part of the Merit List. He knew about Heavenly Saint Ye Feng and everyone involved in creating Thunder Palace but couldn’t see the background introduction at the lower part.
Meanwhile.
The Nine Cities Star Cloud began to be marked by the Heavenly Dao Remnants of the Shenzhou Continent, initiating the earliest penetration.
As both the Thunder Palace Celestial and the Chosen One, Ye Feng could feel the growth of the Heavenly Dao Remnants.
Though slow, he finally took the first step.
“Success!” Ye Feng laughed triumphantly three times.
Next, he would replicate this method, creating countless lower realms for the Shenzhou Continent, ensuring the Heavenly Dao Remnants grew powerful.
The reshaping of Heavenly Dao was imminent!
At that time, as the Chosen One, he would also receive divine assistance, reaping unexpected benefits.
…
On Northern Emperor Star.
Sect Master Li Wanshan of Heavenly Mystery Sect finally refined a whole bottle of Dragon Emperor’s Blood, solidifying his foundation incredibly and reaching the Half-step Void Break level.
Crackle!
Lightning began to flash across his skin.
This was a sign that he could pass the trial through Thunder Palace!
The reason he could attract Heavenly Tribulation was that Ye Feng had merged a Thunder Talisman with the Dragon Emperor’s Blood, and as Li Wanshan refined the blood, he also refined the talisman.
“I… I can finally undergo tribulation!” Li Wanshan howled into the sky, tears streaming down his face with joy.
But at that moment, ten days had passed.
The Devouring Fish that Ye Feng had trapped broke out of its confinement, swam swiftly to the sky above Northern Emperor Star, unleashed a dreadful aura that formed a storm, and subdued countless cultivators.
“It’s a monster of Quasi-Emperor level!”
“The strongest in our Northern Emperor Star, the Sect Master of Heavenly Mystery Sect, is merely at the peak of the Divine Origin Realm and is no match for it.”
“It’s over!”
The people were ashen-faced.
“It’s the Devouring Fish! Juveniles of this monster once appeared through the Eye of the Storm, causing immense destruction. This one must be fully grown by now, right?”
Sect Master Li Wanshan of Heavenly Mystery Sect couldn’t care less about his tribulation; he burst forth with the aura of Half-step Void Break, shooting towards the heavens.
In the Nine Cities Star Cloud.
Ye Feng looked at the Wind Spirit Pearl floating in mid-air, enjoying the scene transmitted from Northern Emperor Star, his mouth curving into a slight smile.
“The show has begun!”
[Hehe, one more chapter added. Finally caught up with the extra updates. On the 31st at the end of the month, let’s have another bonus release!]
