Chapter 2116: Jade Capital Ancestor’s Shock

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Ye Feng carefully looked at the tea leaves.

A rich Dao resonance permeated them, as if simply placing them in one’s mouth could lead to enlightenment, breaking through a minor realm was not an issue.

The Invincible Old Man said: "Isn’t this the breakthrough method you were seeking for that young fellow at Jade Capital City? Give him the tea leaves, he’ll soon break through."

After speaking, he glanced at the Radiant Daoist.

"I am about to sleep, by then, Ye Feng should have a decent protector, and you, despite having somewhat inferior character, excel in loyalty. This item can be refined for you, it can strengthen your foundation, if you work hard enough, achieving the position of Dao Venerable in the future won’t be difficult."

With that, the old man flicked out another tea leaf, which was also a Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf.

"Thank you, great Master, for your gift!" The Radiant Daoist received the tea leaf, greatly excited, as this was the foundation for his future promotion to Dao Venerable, incredibly precious.

"Let me help you repair your Life-bound Divine Weapon, too."

With a casual gesture, the Radiant Daoist’s Life-bound Divine Weapon, the Radiant Divine Mirror, flew out automatically, its fractured parts pieced together again, even enhanced after being bathed in a stream of celestial light, becoming a genuine pinnacle divine weapon of a Daoist.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Radiant Daoist fervently knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing to the Invincible Old Man.

Having obtained the Jade Capital Ancestor’s secret technique, he could already exert the battle power expected of a Daoist at the pinnacle, and now, having the Radiant Divine Mirror repaired by the Invincible Old Man, with the refinement of the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf, he himself could become an extremely powerful Daoist at the peak stage.

In battles of similar rank, he was not inferior to Chaos Daoist Zhou Jian and the Soaring Sky City City Lord and others.

Nonetheless, Ye Feng could not feel happy.

Only because the Invincible Old Man closed his eyes, his body grew more ethereal, eventually transforming into a wisp of pale blue smoke rising into the air, disappearing altogether.

"Senior has gone to sleep."

Ye Feng sighed, only hoping that the Invincible Old Man wouldn’t have too terrifying nightmares, or it would become a nightmare for countless beings in the Origin of All Things.

Creek!

Ye Feng and the Radiant Daoist stepped out of the courtyard, gently closed the gate, and walked along the path in the forest.

"How strange!"

Ye Feng always wondered about one thing.

Why would the five pinnacle existences sleep, was it due to the influence of the world’s will of the Origin of All Things? If that’s true, then their nightmares would be influenced too? Are they an intrigue reflected in reality?

Is there someone manipulating things behind the scenes?

It shouldn’t be!

The five pinnacle existences are true strong individuals, able to contend with the world’s will of the Origin Land, standing at the genuine apex of the pyramid, it seems impossible for anyone to manipulate this from behind.

Unless there’s a traitor!

Or perhaps, the world’s will is the true culprit!

But, what’s the point of doing this?

Ye Feng pondered further but couldn’t understand.

"Forget it, let’s ignore this, let’s go directly to Jade Capital City to see the Jade Capital Ancestor."

Ye Feng said thusly.

Ascension Holy City.

Upon arriving here, Ye Feng glances at the Ancestor of Demons stationed at the local division, noticing he had broken through to Third Turn Heavenly Venerable, leaving him a considerable amount of Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves and Origin Substance.

By the Ancestor of Demons’ talent, even through arduous cultivation in Ascension Holy City, he could quickly break through, become a mid-ranked Heavenly Venerable, or even a high-ranked one.

Being a Daoist wasn’t difficult either.

The Ancestor of Demons had formidable qualifications, second only to the deceased Ghostly Mysterious God among the universe’s strongest prodigious talents.

Even without Ye Feng’s help, the Ancestor of Demons could make a mark in the Origin of All Things, becoming a high-ranked Heavenly Venerable, which was merely his lower limit.

Buzz!

Ye Feng bids farewell to the Ancestor of Demons, stepping onto the Teleportation Array with the Radiant Daoist, disappearing in an instant, reappearing inside a Transporting Holy Temple located in Jade Capital City.

"I want to see the Jade Capital Ancestor."

Ye Feng reaches the City Lord’s Mansion, takes out a Guest Elder Token personally gifted by the Jade Capital Ancestor, the gatekeeper at the pinnacle of Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable immediately becomes respectful, letting him pass.

Inside the vast City Lord’s Mansion.

Tall, classical buildings abound here.

A glance reveals all the servants are Heavenly Venerables, even the gardeners in the garden and the maids carrying trays on the road are Heavenly Venerables.

"Truly grand!" The Radiant Daoist murmured, feeling this encapsulates the essence of Dao Venerable.

"Indeed, very wealthy." Ye Feng nodded.

Everyone at the City Lord’s Mansion cast curious looks at Ye Feng and the Radiant Daoist, the two strangers.

"Hahaha, Young Friend Ye Feng, come with me, the Ancestor has told me long ago, once you arrive, this City Lord will personally greet and lead you to his small courtyard."

A hearty voice resounded.

Everyone followed the voice.

A jade-faced young gentleman approached, wearing a golden robe, hands folded in front of him, a gentle smile graced his face, appearing very polite.

The servants at the City Lord’s Mansion all knelt to greet, loudly exclaiming "Greetings, City Lord".

Ye Feng appraised him.

This person was also a pinnacle Daoist, possessing a solid foundation, comparable to the Soaring Sky City City Lord, slightly inferior to Chaos Daoist Zhou Jian, but stronger than the current Radiant Daoist.

"This must be the Radiant Daoist, despite being a peak Daoist, you’re an old servant, I’m truly shocked." Jade Capital City Lord smiled.

"You know me?" The Radiant Daoist asked in surprise.

"Of course I know you." Jade Capital City Lord pointed to the Radiant Divine Mirror hovering at the Radiant Daoist’s left shoulder, "Years ago, after your Radiant Divine Mirror was broken, I came across a fragment, auctioned it at Soaring Sky City’s grand event, and it surprisingly ended up back with you."

"No wonder!" The Radiant Daoist said deeply. "So, how did you obtain that item?"

"I have people everywhere in Yunzhou, Haizhou, among others. One of my scouts entered a battleground, acquired that fragment there, and after inquiries, learned that its owner was none other than the Radiant Daoist. Seeing you holding this mirror now, I know you’re the Radiant Daoist who was besieged and suppressed by the Blood Moon Clan and other forces."

Jade Capital City Lord wore a smile.

It’s rumored that the Radiant Daoist had cultivated indelible seals, making him unkillable; though puzzled by his peak Dao cultivation, if the Radiant Daoist fights desperately, he could compel multiple pinnacle Daoists to exercise caution.

It could be said the Radiant Daoist is a good helper.

"The Dao Venerable behind Ye Feng might be mid or even late-stage Dao Venerable, otherwise, it would be impossible to repair the Radiant Divine Mirror so swiftly."

Jade Capital City Lord thought to himself.

After a short while.

The group arrived at the small courtyard, opened the door to find the Jade Capital Ancestor drinking tea beneath a tree.

Beside him was another person.

This was a beautiful lady in a red gown, skin whiter than snow, exuding a holy radiance, her hair elegantly pinned, her aura graceful, her cultivation exceedingly profound.

"Dao Venerable!" Ye Feng thought quietly.

"Ah, you’ve finally arrived." Jade Capital Ancestor looked at Ye Feng, waved, "Ye Feng, this is the Beauty Old Ancestor, one of the top ten powerhouses of Yunzhou, from the Hall of Beauty, my friend."

"Greetings, Beauty Old Ancestor." Ye Feng cupped his hands.

The Radiant Daoist and Jade Capital City Lord also followed in salute.

"Ye Feng, how is the Dao Venerable behind you considering it now? Has he decided whether to cooperate with us? You know, once he joins, our small group will have three Dao Venerables, while Miaoyin Square and Shenque City have only two each. When they are locked in a fierce battle with the yet-unkilled Annihilation Dao Venerable, the three of us attacking together will surely seize victory."

The Jade Capital Ancestor said solemnly.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, and glanced at the Beauty Old Ancestor before looking towards the Jade Capital Ancestor.

"Don’t worry, the Beauty Old Ancestor and I are very close. You can just directly tell me the specific thoughts of the Dao Venerable behind you, no need to avoid it."

The Jade Capital Ancestor waved his hand.

"Alright." Ye Feng said helplessly, and had to take out a wooden box, "The one behind me has already fallen into slumber and will not take action for the time being. However, he gave you this, which might be useful."

"What, asleep? Just like that?" The Jade Capital Ancestor widened his eyes, quite displeased, and casually took the wooden box from Ye Feng’s hand, opening it slowly.

The Beauty Old Ancestor beside him shook her head, thinking that the Dao Venerable behind Ye Feng dared not intervene in this matter.

Thinking this, she was very disappointed.

But in the next moment.

"Ah, my heavens!"

The Jade Capital Ancestor opened the wooden box, looked at the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf lying inside, and could feel the infinite enlightenment origin contained within it. Once absorbed, it could directly help him breakthrough to the mid-stage Dao Venerable.

In this way, there is simply no need to break into the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb.

After all, plotting for the tomb was merely seeking the opportunity to breakthrough to mid-stage Dao Venerable.

And now, the opportunity was right inside the box.

"This is... the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf! My heavens, such a treasure is a top-level treasure, at least controlled by a Grand Dao Venerable. How did Ye Feng have it?"

The Beauty Old Ancestor exclaimed in shock.

"Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf?!" The Jade Capital City Lord was equally shocked, looking at Ye Feng in amazement.

Ye Feng nodded and said, "It is indeed a Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf. The senior behind me said that refining this tea leaf would allow you to successfully breakthrough to the mid-stage Dao Venerable."

"This... this!" The Jade Capital Ancestor sat weakly on the chair, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The Beauty Old Ancestor, however, had burning eyes full of desire.

The Jade Capital Ancestor put away the wooden box, looked at Ye Feng, his eyes fervent, and said, "Ye Feng, my young friend, is the person behind you a Grand Dao Venerable?"

The Beauty Old Ancestor, Jade Capital City Lord, and others also looked at Ye Feng, eager to know the answer.

The Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf was highly precious.

The tea trees known to exist are mostly occupied by Grand Dao Venerables and above. Occasionally, some Dao Venerables can own a Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, but that’s because there’s a Grand Dao Venerable supporting them, otherwise, they couldn’t keep it.

Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "Sort of!"

"Hiss!"

Even the Jade Capital Ancestor drew a cold breath.

In the Origin of All Things, reaching Heavenly Venerable is quite easy if talented enough.

As for Dao Venerable, having enough talent is a given, but it requires exceedingly high talent. And moreover, after entering the Dao Venerable realm, advancing even a small realm is extremely difficult.

Ascending to a Grand Dao Venerable is even more arduous.

After all, it’s a rank just below a Boundless Venerable, every one of them is exceedingly rare.

"I didn’t expect the backing behind Ye Feng, my young friend, is a Grand Dao Venerable. I’m honored. Thanks to that senior for gifting me the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf, which seems to contain the origin laws left by the elder. Fully absorbing and refining it would make breakthrough to mid-stage Dao Venerable not so hard."

The Jade Capital Ancestor grew increasingly excited.

The Beauty Old Ancestor was so envious her eyes turned red, but since it was a gift from a Grand Dao Venerable, she dared not covet it.

Ye Feng said, "I have already given you this, so, senior, can you allow me to enter the Jade Capital City’s Scripture Pavilion for enlightenment?"

"Certainly not a problem!" The Jade Capital Ancestor took out a jade pendant he carried, handing it to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, my young friend, from now on, you are our Jade Capital City’s number one distinguished guest. Any ancient book in the Scripture Pavilion, you may take as you please."

"Great." Ye Feng was delighted.

"Everyone, I must excuse myself first." The Jade Capital Ancestor only wished to quickly refine the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf, bidding farewell to everyone in a hurry, disappearing without a trace.

"That guy!"

The Beauty Old Ancestor looked in the direction where the Jade Capital Ancestor departed, full of envy, and then looked at Ye Feng with increasingly heated eyes, as if looking at a treasure.

"Ye Feng, my young friend, I have a daughter, very fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs. She is also very charming. But rest assured, she is still a virgin. I wonder, could I introduce her to you as a dual cultivation companion?"

The Beauty Old Ancestor offered a charming smile.

"Cough, no need for that!" Ye Feng immediately waved his hands, realizing that the Beauty Old Ancestor also wanted the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf, but naturally, Ye Feng couldn’t give it to her.

After all, they weren’t familiar.

Even if they were, he didn’t have the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaf at the peak stage, needing to ask the Invincible Old Man for it.

"That’s really a pity." The Beauty Old Ancestor took out a sharp, blood-colored long knife, "This is a Dao Monarch peak divine weapon with a will of its own. Today, let it serve as a meeting gift to you."

With that, the Beauty Old Ancestor handed the knife to Ye Feng.

"How can I casually accept such a grand gift?"

Ye Feng refused firmly, fearing to owe the Beauty Old Ancestor a favor which would have to be repaid later.

"So be it!" The Beauty Old Ancestor sighed, not daring to press Ye Feng too hard, after all, the other party was a peerless genius with a Grand Dao Venerable as backing.

Before long, Ye Feng left the small courtyard.

At the center of the Jade Capital City City Lord’s Mansion.

Here stood a giant tower with a base diameter of five miles and soaring over ten miles high, the tallest building in Jade Capital City, the Scripture Pavilion.

The collection of books within is terrifying.

Ye Feng entered it, noticing quite a few powerful figures and young talents. Seeing Ye Feng, they merely regarded him as a young prodigy, paying him little mind.

But soon, a commotion arose among the crowd.

"Look, that person is wearing the personal jade pendant of the Jade Capital Ancestor. Could it be that this person is a direct descendent of the Jade Capital Ancestor?"

"Hiss, that’s a super second-generation cultivator!"

"Quick, curry favor with him."

The crowd started gathering, only to find themselves restrained by an invisible pressure, unable to move any further.

"This is our Jade Capital City’s number one distinguished guest, not someone you can approach at will." The Jade Capital City Lord personally emitted the pressure, his expression severe.

Hearing this, the crowd was highly agitated.

They were all very curious about who this unfamiliar youth was, capable of becoming the first distinguished guest, with even the Dao Monarch peak City Lord treating him with such courtesy.

At the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

Ye Feng walked in, seeing various ancient books on the shelves. After some searching, he finally found the secret technique ’Flying Heavens’ that the Soaring Sky City City Lord had entrusted him to find.

But he was not interested in looking at it much.

As his gaze wandered, Ye Feng noticed a wooden box placed at the top of a bookshelf, which contained several handwritten notes, recording the Space Clan’s Supreme Elder’s incomplete method for breakthrough to Dao Monarch.

"Found it!"

Ye Feng was elated, quickly taking down the wooden box, sifting through the notes inside, his gaze intensely focused.
