Chapter 796: Chapter 796: The Admonition of the Ancient Holy God, As If Carrying a Mountain on One’s Shoulders
“All are old affairs of bygone years.”
The Ancient Holy God sighed, “Now I am old, maimed, ruined, not even one ten-thousandth of my peak.”
“Unless you can help me retrieve all of my body.”
The voice of the Ancient Holy God was filled with sorrow.
Ye Feng fell silent.
He could hear that the Ancient Holy God “Tyrant Emperor” was full of unwillingness, seemingly eager to reassemble his body and fight at the peak once again.
“So, does the Ancient Holy God know about the Power Stele appearing within our Misty Sect?”
Ye Feng tentatively asked.
“I sensed it.”
The Ancient Holy God “Tyrant Emperor” said, “My perceptive ability is very sharp, at times even more effective than Divine Sense. The moment the Power Stele appeared, I sensed it.”
“So, the elder truly is the third-ranked Tyrant Emperor on the Power God Ranking, with divine might covering the world, the third in the entire universe?” Ye Feng was shocked.
“I once was, but now, I am no longer at the peak.”
Once again, the Ancient Holy God sighed.
Ye Feng did not know what kind of great battle the Ancient Holy God had encountered, to have his body shattered into who knows how many parts.
Perhaps, he had met with the top-ranked Thunder Emperor, or the second-ranked Sword God, right?
Or maybe, he was besieged.
“Elder, regarding the Power Stele, what exactly do you know?” Ye Feng continued to speak.
“The Power Stele was created by the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables, with tens of thousands of them spread across various realms. For the strong ones in those realms, leaving their name on it is a symbol of honor,” explained the Ancient Holy God.
“Nine Great Heavenly Venerables?” Ye Feng was stunned.
“In the vast universe, boundless and endless, among the myriads of heavens and worlds, there have only been nine true Heavenly Dao Realm entities. They are the supreme Nine Great Heavenly Venerables beneath the Cosmic Dao.”
“They belong to no faction.”
“They left behind no lineage of teachings.”
“However, legends about the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables are left in the great worlds of the universe starry sky.”
“It is said that each of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables created a Secret Technique. To obtain one is to have one’s combat power soar.”
“Gather all nine Secret Techniques, and you will be unrivaled under the heavens!”
“It is said that this is the only method to ascend the Great Dao, yet it is overly difficult, even the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables could not achieve it, always stuck at the Heavenly Dao Realm.”
The Ancient Holy God suddenly revealed a lot.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was shaken.
Above the Saint Realm are the Heavenly Dao Realm and the Great Dao Realm.
Throughout the whole universe, there are only nine Heavenly Venerables, as for the Great Dao Realm, no one has ever achieved it throughout ancient and modern times!
This shows just how difficult it is to climb the Great Dao Realm.
“Then, where are the nine Heavenly Venerables now? They shouldn’t be on the Power Stele, right?” asked Ye Feng.
“Naturally, they are not on the ranking,” said the Ancient Holy God. “As for where they are, I also do not understand; they are probably dead.”
“Dead?” Ye Feng was puzzled.
The Heavenly Dao Realm, they too can die?
“Only in the Great Dao Realm can one live forever, immortal. Although the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables are very strong, they too can die,” said the Ancient Holy God.
Ye Feng fell into deep thought.
He had not expected that even the Heavenly Venerables could die.
And why is it that in Shenzhou, part of the same Great Thousand World, the legends of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables do not exist?
Upon this realization, he quickly voiced his doubt.
“Shenzhou is not a known Great Thousand World; this place is very strange, clearly within the universe, yet it has never been recorded. Even my enemies do not know of this place.”
“Otherwise, I would not have been able to cling to life up until now.”
The Ancient Holy God added.
The words “those enemies” caused Ye Feng’s eyes to flash, sensing that the enemies of the Ancient Holy God were certainly numerous.
“Elder mentioned that Shenzhou does not belong to the known Great Thousand Worlds, so how many known great worlds are there in the universe?”
Ye Feng was very curious about this.
The Ancient Holy God said:
“Great Dao three thousand, naturally the count of Great Thousand Worlds is three thousand. However, Shenzhou seems to be a variable, transcending the three thousand. Could it be, this is the work of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables?”
As he said this, the Ancient Holy God suddenly felt a bit dizzy and seemed inclined to end the conversation.
“That is roughly the situation. Now you have just entered the Saint Manifestation Level, knowing too much does you no good. Cultivate well!”
The Ancient Holy God admonished.
“Also, do not think about who my enemies are.”
“They are very strong!”
“Now you, even if you were ten thousand times stronger, would still not be the match of any one of them.”
“Cultivate modestly, ask not about external affairs.”
“I have high hopes for you.”
With that, the Ancient Holy God released his Power Domain, twisted space, and sent Ye Feng back to Misty Sect.
By the shore of Spirit Lake.
Ye Feng appeared here.
At this moment, the disciples were still surrounding the Power Stele, all eyes fixed on the fifteenth name.
[Rank 15: Saintly Venerable – Celestial Clan Holy Gate]
Ye Feng also saw this line of text.
“Fifteen!”
He couldn’t help but tremble slightly in his hands, then he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with a serious expression.
An intangible pressure began to burst forth.
“The Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable is so powerful!”
“Sect Master Ye, even you are ranked just over twenty thousand, so how terrifying must the fifteenth-ranked Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable be?”
“If he awakens, we will be in danger.”
Worry was written all over the faces of Ancestor Lingmiao, Ancestor Jinling, and Yuzhu.
The disciples were also shivering.
“The Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable is indeed very strong!”
“Jiaoyang Ancient Saint once said that before the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable came to our Shenzhou, he had already been severely injured, but even so, he was able to shatter the Heavenly Dao, which is truly terrifying.”
“His peak strength is truly impeccable.”
Ye Feng spoke with a serious tone.
He admitted that the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable was terrifying.
However…
The Ancient Holy God, who is even stronger in third place, if he could reassemble his remnants and return to his peak, could he not sweep away the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable?
At this thought, Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly.
It seems that if there is a chance in the future, he must try to help the Ancient Holy God find his remnants.
“Sect Master, what should we do if the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable appears?” Li Jiaojiao asked fearfully.
Ye Feng remained silent.
He clenched his fist and forcefully slammed it onto the Power Stele.
This punch was made with pure physical strength without the enhancement of Fervent Divine Power or Holy Divine Form, not a full-strength blow, but it erupted with terrifying momentum nonetheless.
[Rank 5001: Ye Feng – Shenzhou Misty Sect]
Seeing Ye Feng rise to around the five thousandth rank, those present saw a glimmer of hope and were considerably encouraged.
“Practice diligently, don’t think about those needless worries, even if the sky falls, I will support it!” Ye Feng declared firmly.
“Yes!” The disciples’ fighting spirit was reignited.
Ye Feng glanced at the Power Stele’s ranking, seeing the names of the Destiny Empress, Mist Saint, and Saint Emperor Lingwei.
These three were ranked 1128, 23784, and 26921, respectively—all quite formidable.
Especially the Destiny Empress, who was close to the top one thousand.
Such strength was indeed a formidable current enemy!
“Come with me.”
Ye Feng beckoned and took Yuzhu, Ancestor Lingmiao, and Ancestor Jinling to the summit of Misty Peak to give them guidance and resolve their doubts.
With Ye Feng’s guidance, the three gained immensely.
Especially Yuzhu, who had a deep understanding of integrating primal force, decided to make a formal assault on the Quasi-Saint realm once she returned.
…
As Ye Feng left his name on the Power Stele, a very distant place was causing a sensation.
It was a majestic Sacred Sect.
Countless celestial waterfalls fell, releasing astonishing Spiritual Energy.
In the center of this land stood a Power Stele.
Numerous people gathered around the Power Stele, eager to see if there were any newcomers on the list.
“Look, there’s big news!”
“What’s happening?”
“Today, dozens of people have surged onto the Power God Ranking, and they all come from a world called ‘Shenzhou,’ which is really strange!”
“Shenzhou?”
“Is it part of the Great Thousand World?”
“It shouldn’t be; in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, there’s no world by that name.”
“It’s probably some peak Middle Thousand World!”
Suddenly, these people noticed a shocking phenomenon.
Someone had jumped to over twenty-seven thousand in rank!
“Ye Feng, Shenzhou Misty Sect… Again, Shenzhou, and Misty Sect, what kind of world is this?”
“The top thirty thousand ranks are all from the Saint Realm, Ye Feng must definitely be of the Saint Realm, so, is his Shenzhou part of the Great Thousand World?”
“After all, only the Great Thousand World can give birth to the Saint Realm.”
“Not necessarily, he might be a False Heavenly Dao.”
The crowd discussed animatedly.
However, Ye Feng, ranked over twenty-seven thousand, only caused a short-lived sensation and soon died down.
But not long after, an astounding piece of news spread.
“Ye Feng from the world of Shenzhou has actually risen to rank 5001, which is infinitely close to the Saint Manifestation Level’s ranking!”
“Could it be that this person is a Saint Manifestation?”
The crowd exclaimed.
