Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Gong Qingqiu Breaks Through, The Path of the Four Star of Whitefloat City
The Destiny Empress had a smile on her face.
She had researched the Crimson Moon Compass, a type of Spiritual Treasure, and knew it was delicately intricate and could lock onto the location through the soul aura of a First Generation Reincarnator.
Thus, she had learned to be clever.
First, she cultivated the Tree of Life at the bottom of the Shenzhou Continent’s ocean.
Then, using the Crimson Moon Demons as nourishment, she strengthened the Tree of Life and nurtured the Second Generation Reincarnators.
In this process, as the souls of the Reincarnators merged with the essence of Shenzhou, they became akin to half indigenous residents of Shenzhou, with secretive auras that were difficult for the Crimson Moon Compass to locate.
In this way, the Second Generation Reincarnators could remain perfectly hidden.
When the time came, it would be the moment to close the net.
“The victory of our clan is in sight.” Thinking of this, the Destiny Empress couldn’t help but laugh.
…
Misty Sect.
Ye Feng was lounging in a chair, enjoying the portrait collection of Yin Rurong, occasionally making a comment or two.
“Perfect figure, but such a bad temperament!”
“If she were to marry me, I wouldn’t take her, after all, our fundamental values don’t align.”
“If I were looking, I’d look for someone whose values align and who I can have a good conversation with.”
“Eh!”
“In that case, Ling Yue seems pretty good!”
“Speaking of which, why has there been no news from her recently, where could she have gone?”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
Although he didn’t know where Ling Yue had gone, he could feel that her aura had greatly strengthened, as if she had encountered a fortuitous event that had significantly increased her cultivation level.
Boom!
At that moment, there was a rumbling sound nearby.
“Did Gong Qingqiu make a breakthrough?”
Ye Feng felt something, and looked towards the Spiritual Spring at the top of Misty Peak, where he saw a fair silhouette sitting cross-legged on the ground, her aura gradually converging and forming a gigantic apparition in the sky.
That was Gong Qingqiu’s Dharma Aspect.
“The Seven Star Alchemy Furnace is really good, the Elixirs it refined have no side effects, it’s a pity the grade is too low to be of any use to me.”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
Because Gong Qingqiu was breaking through, he no longer paid attention to Ling Yue, but focused on Gong Qingqiu, who was gathering her Dharma Aspect.
[Breakthrough Success Rate: 74%]
Seeing this figure, Ye Feng slightly frowned.
“The success rate isn’t very promising!”
To Ye Feng, anything less than a hundred percent certainty was unacceptable.
Thus, he took action.
A wisp of the Power of Destiny flowed out, protecting the trembling body of Gong Qingqiu and increasing her breakthrough success rate to 77%.
“Still not enough!”
Ye Feng continued to cast spells.
Ten continuous wisps of the Power of Destiny entered Gong Qingqiu’s body, and only then did her breakthrough success rate increase to 100%, her Dharma Aspect apparition finally beginning to solidify.
“If I hadn’t intervened, Gong Qingqiu most likely would have failed. It seems her talent really is too poor.”
Ye Feng sighed.
Gong Qingqiu had also cultivated the Auxiliary Cultivation Method “The Potential of Roots Manuscript” and relied on the Potential Elixir to transform her root bone into a Supreme Grade.
But even so, her breakthrough probability was low.
Luckily, Ye Feng was beside her to protect her path.
Half an hour later.
Gong Qingqiu’s Dharma Aspect completely solidified, releasing an extremely vast and strong aura, sweeping in all directions.
“Look, that’s Prefect Gong’s Dharma Aspect!”
“She’s finally going to ascend to the Void Break Realm.”
“…”
“Look! It’s Elder Gong breaking through.”
Different Cultivators in Whitefloat City and inside and outside the Misty Sect, feeling the aura sweeping forth from the Dharma Aspect, all stopped to watch.
Another half an hour passed.
Gong Qingqiu suddenly opened her eyes, her body merging with her Dharma Aspect, and thunder began to form rapidly around her.
She was about to cross the tribulation!
“Evasion Umbrella, Tribulation Crossing Treasure Garment, go!”
With a flick of his finger, Ye Feng sent two rays of light rising from the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, transforming into a golden umbrella and a set of golden garments.
These were Tribulation Crossing Spiritual Treasures forged from the Refining Furnace.
Although there were only two pieces, each one was an Upper Grade Spiritual Treasure, and any single piece would be enough to cross the tribulation.
The reason for having two was for a double insurance.
Crack!
The scalding thunder instantly struck down, turning the sky into a golden yellow. Some people were nearly blinded and it took a long time for them to finally see their surroundings clearly again.
Boom!
The thunder struck the Tribulation Crossing Treasure Garment but bounced off, exploding into countless sparks, not harming Gong Qingqiu in the slightest.
Just like that, she easily passed the Heavenly Tribulation.
“Success!”
“Elder Gong has contributed so much to our Misty Sect, now becoming a Great Power in the Void Break Realm, it’s something to be happy about.”
“Yes!”
The disciples cheered, waving their arms excitedly.
In the Thunder Pool.
Gong Qingqiu sat cross-legged, absorbing the Thunder Origin, consolidating her cultivation level, while also glancing at the Merit List on the wall.
Her gaze landed on Ye Feng’s name, and she couldn’t help but blush slightly, saying,
“I really have to thank the Sect Leader. If not for him, I’d probably still be at the Element Gathering Realm level, right?”
If she hadn’t felt unworthy of Ye Feng, she would have made her move on him long ago.
“Actually, being able to spend my life by the Sect Leader’s side as the Great Elder of Internal Affairs is also a fortunate thing.”
Gong Qingqiu said.
She had no one she liked.
If there was anyone, it was Ye Feng.
But she could see that Ye Feng was very kind to her, though his meticulous care seemed more like that between family members than between lovers.
“Perhaps the Sect Leader doesn’t want to be fettered by romantic feelings and prefers to focus on the development of the sect.”
Gong Qingqiu murmured thus.
An hour later.
Gong Qingqiu left the Thunder Palace, her aura consolidated to the first level of Void Break Realm, finally becoming an ancestor-level Great Power.
“Welcome Elder Gong out of seclusion!”
The grand voices spread in all directions from the sect, resonating through the heavens and reaching hundreds of miles away.
Gong Qingqiu looked down.
She saw Ye Feng with his hands behind his back, standing at the peak of the mountain, smiling at her.
As for the tens of thousands of disciples of the sect, as well as individuals like the Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword, they all stood in the Sect Main Plaza, sending her congratulatory glances full of celebration.
At this moment.
Gong Qingqiu, who had lost her family, once again felt the warmth of familial care, her nose tingling and her eyes rimming with tears.
“Thank you!”
Her lips slightly parted as a faint mist rose around her, hiding the tears at the corners of her eyes.
…
After Gong Qingqiu’s successful breakthrough, Ye Feng personally held a celebration banquet for her.
The entire Misty Sect congratulated her.
After the banquet.
Ye Feng, Gong Qingqiu, the Deputy City Lord, and Thousand Faces Demon Monarch sat in the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, discussing the promotion of Whitefloat City.
“Sect Leader, although I have advanced to the Void Break Realm, Whitefloat City is still far from the standards of a Four Star-Level City. The most important issue is… population!”
Gong Qingqiu spoke with a serious face.
Population was always an unavoidable topic in the process of a city’s advancement.
“How many people are there in Whitefloat City now?” Ye Feng asked.
“Eighty million,” the Deputy City Lord replied. “Four Star-Level Cities require a population of five hundred million. It’s too difficult to reach, even if we continue relocating people from other places, it will take a lot of time.”
“There’s another problem,” Gong Qingqiu added. “The space around Whitefloat City is running out.”
“What do you mean?” Ye Feng frowned.
“The area required for a population of five hundred million is too large. If we do not continue to expand, the population will become too crowded, which is not conducive to the balanced development of Whitefloat City.”
Gong Qingqiu worried, “Even if we expand to the Yunxiao Great Forest north of Fenhuo River, at most it can accommodate one or two hundred million people. It’s still not enough.”
“It won’t be insufficient,” Ye Feng shook his head. “If there’s not enough space on the ground, then we’ll develop upwards.”
“Do you mean… building Floating Islands?” Gong Qingqiu realized.
“Exactly!” Ye Feng nodded.
In the past, to create Whitefloat City, he had specially refined Floating Platforms. Now, with the increased grade of the Refining Furnace, he could create even larger Floating Platforms.
Each platform was like a mountain.
They floated in the sky, not only accommodating many people but also giving the appearance of a fairyland holy land, adding more Immortal Qi to Whitefloat City.
“I understand,” Gong Qingqiu suddenly realized.
“Next, I personally will forge the Floating Mountain Peaks, and you all will continue relocating more people to Whitefloat City.”
“Yes!”
They received the orders and quickly set into action.
