Chapter 2031: Training, First Entry into the Demon Spirit Universe

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"It’s been so long, I wonder how the disciples are doing. Is the Universe alright?"

Ye Feng murmured to himself.

He wasn’t sure whether any powerhouses from the Outer Universe had recently invaded the Twin Universe. Fortunately, the Universe now had Emperor Dragon Sovereign holding the fort. Even if there were invaders, Ye Feng believed the latter could easily annihilate the external foes.

Immediately, Ye Feng opened the task panel.

[Half-Step Heavenly Venerable: 2/10]

[Quasi-Heavenly Venerable: 0/3]

"Oh, there are actually two who attained enlightenment as Half-Step Heavenly Venerable after the task panel opened. No wonder I feel my foundation has become stronger."

Ye Feng couldn’t help but touch his chin.

After exiting seclusion, he sensed that his cultivation level had increased by the addition of two Half-Step Heavenly Venerables. Moreover, this cultivation level was exceedingly robust, almost reaching the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable stage.

This made his prowess advanced even further.

Coupled with having broken through to the ninety-eighth layer of the Creation Realm, Ye Feng’s combat power effectively doubled. His foundation’s combat strength had already reached a level capable of easily annihilating Quasi-Heavenly Venerables.

Even when confronted with powerhouses among Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, such as Venerable Hong Mei, he could easily crush them.

"I’m already very strong."

Ye Feng grinned.

Currently, he was akin to a living supreme Quasi-Heavenly Venerable powerhouse. Along with the Primordial Sword Embryo and utilizing the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Infinite Combat Power," he could effortlessly sweep through combined forces like Venerable Hong Mei, Silver Eyebrow Venerable, and Triangular Venerable without relying on the Myriad Spirits Treasure Vase and the Sky Annihilation Four Immortals Array, approaching the prowess of Emperor Dragon Sovereign.

This might not sound very formidable.

After all, it was only close to Emperor Dragon Sovereign.

But Ye Feng was merely equivalent to a ninety-eight-layer Immortal Emperor!

Once he breaks through to the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, his strength will at least quadruple, allowing him to suppress Emperor Dragon Sovereign, this monstrous-level Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

And that is already terrifying!

Having the combat strength to crush monstrous-level Quasi-Heavenly Venerables with a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level cultivation, spread far and wide, would even shock the legendary Origin Land.

Ye Feng withdrew his thoughts.

His Divine Sense swept over and discovered that it was Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying who had ascended to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

"These two guys really don’t consider advancing directly to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, choosing instead to become Half-Step Heavenly Venerable!"

Ye Feng felt a bit helpless.

Honestly, he would prefer seeing them become Quasi-Heavenly Venerables directly if possible. But since they had already attained enlightenment, he didn’t bother to say much.

He continued to receive information.

Upon learning that Huo Yunjie, Mo Ying, and Silver Eyebrow Venerable had perished together in their virtual lifetimes, Ye Feng chuckled inwardly, feeling their combat power was genuinely strong.

"Not bad, really not bad."

"As Sect Leader, I can sweep through Quasi-Heavenly Venerables with cultivation equivalent to nearly a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor. As disciples, Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying can directly contend with Quasi-Heavenly Venerables using Half-Step Heavenly Venerable cultivation, which is commendable."

Ye Feng felt very gratified.

In this world, people who can achieve his level are probably unprecedented and likely never to be seen again.

And being able to reach the extent of Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie already qualifies them as monstrous-level powerhouses, capable of being core disciples in those major factions protected by Heavenly Venerables in the Origin Land.

They possess the aptitude for enlightenment.

Swish!

Ye Feng flashed, appearing on the grass at the summit of Misty Peak, and with a wave of his large sleeve, fluctuations appeared in the void before him. Even powerful figures like Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie, without realizing it, were teleported here.

"Sect Leader!"

"Sect Master Uncle!"

Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie, upon seeing Ye Feng, immediately knelt on one knee and paid respect. Despite having reached Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, they dared not act arrogantly before Ye Feng.

In their view, Ye Feng was unfathomable.

This was a man without limits!

His strength defied all imagination.

Ye Feng observed the two, confirming their enlightenment as Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, noting their strong foundation devoid of any falseness, and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Firstly, I must congratulate you on attaining enlightenment as Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, officially breaking through above the Immortal Emperor Realm."

This made them somewhat embarrassed.

"Sect Master Uncle, indeed, I mentioned before to you my desire to become Half-Step Heavenly Venerable to quickly enhance the Sect’s foundation, hoping for your understanding."

Huo Yunjie was the first to speak.

He was genuinely afraid Ye Feng would be angry.

After all, with his combat power, he fully qualified to compete for Quasi-Heavenly Venerable status, and if he continued cultivating diligently, there’s hope in the future to compete for the True Heavenly Venerable enlightenment position.

Yet, he opted to become Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

This could be considered a waste of talent.

Thus, he feared reprimand from Ye Feng.

"Sect Leader, although we also wish to directly become Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, that might take until the end of the year. I feel I should first attain enlightenment as Half-Step Heavenly Venerable and later consider becoming Quasi-Heavenly Venerable."

Mo Ying supplemented.

Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "There’s no need for so much explanation to me. Whether you attain enlightenment as Half-Step Heavenly Venerable or Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, or even True Heavenly Venerable, I fully support you either way."

On hearing this, the two were stunned.

This was different than they had imagined!

They expected to be scolded by Ye Feng!

"In fact, transitioning from Half-Step Heavenly Venerable to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable isn’t that difficult."

Ye Feng spoke slowly.

Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie felt stirred.

"Please enlighten us, Sect Master Uncle."

"Alright."

Ye Feng nodded and then disclosed the breakthrough methods for Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, and True Heavenly Venerable.

"Firstly, becoming Half-Step Heavenly Venerable involves defeating opponents, integrating the cosmic imprint, receiving the cosmic consciousness’s recognition, imbuing your self-created nineteen Dao laws with the cosmic consciousness’s origin imprint, obtaining cosmic-level pressure, and officially becoming Half-Step Heavenly Venerable."

"You already understand this."

"Upon gaining the cosmic consciousness’s baptism based on this, you can ascend to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable. Your cosmic-level pressure will surge, allowing you to effortlessly weaken lower realm cultivators’ strength by around ninety percent."

"Building on the aforementioned basis, if you can make your self-created nineteen Dao laws and the previously comprehended eighty-one Dao laws perfectly merge, continue receiving the cosmic consciousness’s baptism, achieving thorough mastery, then condense a law imprint with the hundred Dao laws, imprint it on your brow, consolidate the Heavenly Venerable form, you can ascend to the enviable and aspired True Heavenly Venerable Realm."

"Of course!"

"What I’ve mentioned above pertains to the process of attaining enlightenment and breaking through within the Universe."

"However, this isn’t the sole breakthrough path."

"If you ascend to the Origin Land with Half-Step Heavenly Venerable or Quasi-Heavenly Venerable cultivation, temper yourself with the local consciousness until your self-created nineteen Dao laws perfectly merge with the universe’s eighty-one Dao laws into a single law imprint, then consolidate the Heavenly Venerable form, you can also become bona fide Heavenly Dao Realm."

"Later, through my research, it’s possible to utilize similar methods to break through within the Universe."

"Now that you are Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, in the future, if you achieve enlightenment and receive another baptism from the cosmic consciousness, you can ascend to Quasi-Heavenly Venerables."

Upon hearing this, the two’s eyes lit up.

"Sect Leader, how should we attain enlightenment to access the cosmic consciousness’s baptism?"

Mo Ying couldn’t help but ask.

Huo Yunjie, to the side, was equally curious.

The reason he chose to become Half-Step Heavenly Venerable rather than Quasi-Heavenly Venerable wasn’t because he was confident in advancing to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable through cultivation, but rather, he had faith in Ye Feng.

Huo Yunjie always believed that his Sect Master Uncle must have mastered the subsequent breakthrough method.

Today, he had bet correctly.

Ye Feng indeed holds such a method.

"To receive the cosmic consciousness’s baptism, although it can be acquired through enlightenment, the cosmic origin is limited, and baptism consumes the cosmic origin. To receive baptism, just contribute to the Universe. When your merit points achieve a certain level, won’t you directly receive baptism?"

Ye Feng wore a mysterious expression.

This was a conclusion he deduced, and after communicating with the consciousness of the Twin Universe, he confirmed it.

"Really?"

Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie exchanged a glance, each seeing joy in the other’s eyes.

Immediately, Mo Ying paused, realizing something was off.

"Second Senior Brother, you were so confident before, claiming you would be the first to prove your Dao to become a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable. Shouldn’t you know the method to break through to a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable or even a True Heavenly Venerable?"

Mo Ying frowned slightly.

Huo Yunjie looked embarrassed and said, "I don’t know the method for breaking through, but I always believed that Sect Master Uncle knows, which is why I was so determined."

Mo Ying: "..."

She felt like she had been led into a pit by Huo Yunjie.

Originally, she intended to compete for the position of Quasi-Heavenly Venerable or even True Heavenly Venerable. Seeing Huo Yunjie so confident, she believed he had a way, which is why she planned to first prove her Dao as a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable. After proving her Dao, she planned to ask Huo Yunjie about the subsequent breakthrough methods.

But who knew, he actually didn’t understand the method to break through.

Fortunately, Ye Feng had a way.

Otherwise, she would have really cried.

Ye Feng touched his nose, not expecting Huo Yunjie to trust him so much, feeling a bit helpless but also somewhat proud.

"Alright, I’ve already asked the cosmic consciousness, as long as you enter the Outer Domain Battlefield and slay enemies, once you accumulate enough merit, you can take the corpses of the foreign enemies to the cosmic consciousness to exchange for a chance to be baptized," Ye Feng explained.

"Where is the Outer Domain Battlefield?"

Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie were eager to engage in battle, desperately wanting to fly to the Outer Domain Battlefield to slay enemies.

"I’ll take you there," Ye Feng said.

Half a day later.

Outer Domain Battlefield.

Ye Feng, Huo Yunjie, Mo Ying, the Venus God-King, and others stepped out from the 426th portal of the Twin Universe, discovering that a massive battle was currently erupting in the Outer Domain Battlefield, but most participants were God-King Level powerhouses.

There were no Half-Step Heavenly Venerable or Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

"So this is the Outer Domain Battlefield?"

"It feels ordinary, not very powerful."

Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie glanced around, immediately catching the attention of those Cosmic Sea powerhouses and Cosmic Sea creatures.

"Two Half-Step Heavenly Venerables!"

"Run fast!"

The Cosmic Sea creatures were shocked, quickly fleeing towards the beach, fearing they would be killed if they were a step too late.

"Want to leave? Stay here for me!"

Mo Ying wasn’t about to let these Cosmic Sea powerhouses go, immediately drawing her sword, and launching billions of strands of Sword Qi in a flash, each one precisely killing a Cosmic Sea powerhouse.

Splashes echoed as their corpses fell onto the beach, and Mo Ying used a special technique to refine them into numerous crystals, each resembling a tetrahedral crystal, varying in color and containing abundant cosmic essence and various origin of laws.

"Collect!"

Mo Ying gathered these crystals, storing them in a space she had created, her lips curling into a slight smile.

This was cosmic merit!

Once a certain amount was accumulated, she could exchange it for a chance to be baptized by the consciousness of the Twin Universe, allowing her to break through to become a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable powerhouse.

"Sect Master Uncle, how much merit do we need to exchange for a baptism opportunity?"

Huo Yunjie asked.

"The cosmic essence and origin of laws contained in the Cosmic Sea creatures you’ve slain must at least equate to a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable level powerhouse and should be equivalent to killing one hundred Half-Step Heavenly Venerable levels at least," Ye Feng explained.

"Phew! That many?"

Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and the others were all stunned.

Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, did you think it was that easy to ascend to a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable? Of course, if you can single-handedly slay a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable and obtain their complete corpse, you should be able to exchange for a baptism opportunity then."

"Killing a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable? That’s too difficult!"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Well, it’s not that bad!" Ye Feng shrugged, "Last time I killed Thunderclap Venerable, this Quasi-Heavenly Venerable. His power was average, and I destroyed him in a single strike."

Everyone twitched at the corners of their mouths.

Big brother! You’re Ye Feng!

Other than you, who could be so fierce?

"Next, you all should train diligently here. I’m planning to stroll around other universes," Ye Feng said.

At this moment, several cosmic powerhouses arrived.

"Greetings, Sect Master Ye."

"Greetings, Alliance Hierarch Ye."

This group of cosmic powerhouses numbered in the hundreds, who were previously besieged by many Cosmic Sea powerhouses, suffered heavy losses, and already had the intention to retreat. Unexpectedly, the black-clad girl beside Ye Feng was so formidable, instantly wiping out that group of Cosmic Sea powerhouses with a single sword stroke—truly terrifying.

"This is Huo Yunjie, our Second Disciple of the Misty Holy Sect. And this is Mo Ying, our Fourth Disciple, both newly advancing to Half-Step Heavenly Venerables."

Ye Feng proactively introduced.

"Greetings, Seniors."

Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie bowed with hands clasped.

Upon hearing this, all the cosmic powerhouses experienced a twitch at the corners of their mouths and felt uneasy at heart.

"Two Daoist friends, although you are juniors, you have already ascended to Half-Step Heavenly Venerables. Please refrain from calling us seniors; it’s too much for us to bear."

All the powerhouses promptly explained.

At that moment, a figure clad in blue armor emerged from a certain universal passage—a Master of the Demon Spirit Universe, who fused with the Blue Crystal Ball.

"Alliance Hierarch, long time no see."

The Master of the Demon Spirit Universe quickly greeted, then noticed Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie.

"Half... Half-Step Heavenly Venerables!"

"They are my two disciples."

Ye Feng made no secret, introduced them directly, and then expressed his desire to tour the Demon Spirit Universe.

"Oh, of course, no problem. I’ve already acquired the Origin Divine Talisman. Once you fuse with it, you can become a guest of our Demon Spirit Universe, free to traverse the universe without being perceived as Outer Realm Evil Spirits,"

The Master of Demon Spirits presented a precious box.

A blue Divine Talisman lay quietly in the box.

"Thank you."

Ye Feng fused the Origin Divine Talisman of the Demon Spirit Universe, becoming a legitimate guest of the Demon Spirit Universe.

"You all stay here, kill enemies, and accumulate merit. I’ll first tour the Demon Spirit Universe."

Ye Feng gave some instructions, then left.

"Roger that." Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie nodded, standing on the beach, ready to strike and slay any invading Cosmic Sea foes entering the Outer Domain Battlefield.

On another side.

Ye Feng, accompanied by the Master of Demon Spirits, traversed a deep blue universal passage, finally arriving at the center of a majestic and grand dark blue hall.

"Alliance Hierarch Ye, welcome to the Demon Spirit Universe."

The Master of Demon Spirits introduced with a grin.
