Chapter 2145: Return to Timeline 426

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"In the 626 timeline, I can’t die!"

The Toutuo Progenitor laughed arrogantly.

The palace’s phantom shadow fell with greater speed and fierce momentum, like it was going to destroy the heavens and the earth, about to crush Ye Feng and Wang Teng.

But, in the next moment.

A red haze floated in mid-air, supporting the palace’s phantom shadow, causing the Toutuo Progenitor’s arrogant laughter to abruptly stop, and he exclaimed: "Phoenix Gauze Progenitor!"

Below the palace.

A figure appeared.

It was an old man with a bamboo basket and a fishing rod on his back, Ye Feng’s great patron, the Invincible Old Man.

"Where is he?" Toutuo Progenitor was shocked.

"Behind you!"

A charming voice sounded in his ear, startling the Toutuo Progenitor to turn his head, only to discover a woman in a Phoenix Gauze Skirt standing there, holding a needle in her hand.

That person was the Phoenix Gauze Progenitor.

With a "crack" sound.

The Phoenix Gauze Progenitor had already performed a spinning kick in mid-air, her flawless white long leg heavily swept across the Toutuo Progenitor’s forehead, smashing him towards the ground.

"Next, it’s my turn."

The Invincible Old Man swung the fishing rod, the law’s fishing line and hook instantly hit the Toutuo Progenitor’s chest and circled around his body several times, countless pressures of the law harshly suppressed, binding him.

"I can’t break free!"

Toutuo Progenitor attempted to struggle, but found that his domain’s power was far inferior to the Invincible Old Man’s, firmly suppressed, unable to escape the other’s binding.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Phoenix Gauze Progenitor took the opportunity to approach, her long legs continually spinning and kicking, each impact heavily struck the Toutuo Progenitor’s forehead with great force and ordeal.

"Stop, you all stop!"

Toutuo Progenitor tried to escape into the void but found himself unable to break the void as the space around him seemed sealed by the power of space and time due to Phoenix Gauze Progenitor’s close proximity.

"Today, beat you up!"

Invincible Old Man flew into the air, holding the fishing rod, looking at the Toutuo Progenitor suspended by the fishing line, a farmer-like smile on his face.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Toutuo Progenitor was suppressed by two top-level half-step Great Dao controllers, unable to escape, beaten until his body was cracked, screaming aloud.

Even a few front teeth were broken.

"Does it feel good? Dare to make a move against Ye Feng again?"

Invincible Old Man shouted loudly.

"I was wrong, but I’ll still dare next time!" Toutuo Progenitor admitted but wasn’t completely surrendering.

Clap clap clap!

As soon as he spoke, Toutuo Progenitor was beaten by Invincible Old Man and Phoenix Gauze Progenitor, with no power to fight back.

"Stop, stop... ah!"

Toutuo Progenitor began begging seriously, but the two said they could let go, yet intensified, crazily pounding Toutuo Progenitor’s body.

Ye Feng and Wang Teng watched, stunned.

This truly returned to the basics!

Three half-step Great Dao controllers were having a battle in mid-air, without flashy supreme divine skills, only the raw physical fight causing Toutuo Progenitor to scream.

"Enough, alright, I truly made a mistake!"

Toutuo Progenitor begged for mercy again.

"Haven’t hit enough!" Invincible Old Man said with a smile, pulling out a curved knife and stabbing it into Toutuo Progenitor’s chest, the latter’s vitality surged, instantly healing his injuries.

"You’ve truly had enough!"

Toutuo Progenitor’s body began to swell, unexpectedly self-exploding half his body, a terrifying shockwave crushed the surrounding void within ten thousand miles.

Even the mighty Invincible Old Man and Phoenix Gauze Progenitor were blasted backward, spitting blood.

Ye Feng and Wang Teng were far away.

They saw a red fireball with a diameter of tens of thousands of miles expanding, merging everything within the area, their eyes showing shock.

"My God!"

"This is the Xuanhuang Continent!"

"But, they can still cause such terrifying destructive power, directly annihilating a region of ten thousand miles."

Ye Feng was stupefied.

This annihilation involved deep laws, far more terrifying than battles of the Boundless Venerable.

"You’ll wait for me!"

After self-exploding half his body, Toutuo Progenitor struck the Phoenix Gauze Progenitor controlling time-space, finally breaking the void barrier, leaving after dropping a harsh threat.

"He actually escaped, but this guy is fierce too, self-exploding half his body, at least will take ten thousand years to recover! Let him be!"

Invincible Old Man shrugged.

Later, they moved to smooth out the battlewave of this region, restoring everything, then vanished.

On the ground.

Ye Feng and Wang Teng looked at each other.

Were it not witnessed firsthand, no one else would believe a fearsome half-step Great Dao controller-level battle occurred in this region.

Also, the Toutuo Progenitor had escaped severely injured.

"Truly terrifying!"

Ye Feng swallowed, leading Wang Teng towards the sea area of Phoenix Gauze Progenitor, intending to have Invincible Old Man send them to the Origin of All Things.

Deep in the sea, on the island.

Ye Feng saw Invincible Old Man, but Phoenix Gauze Progenitor wasn’t there, perhaps embroidering elsewhere.

"You’re leaving?" the old man asked.

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, "I plan to take Wang Teng back to the Origin of All Things and register as Sect disciples, then recruit a new generation of disciples."

The old man said: "Wang Teng ultimately belongs to the 626 timeline, living around a month in the Origin of All Things might cause expulsion."

"One month...so soon?" Ye Feng sighed, thinking Wang Teng could stay in the Origin of All Things for at least half a year!

Wang Teng clenched his fist.

"Yes, very soon." The old man nodded, "I only remind you so you understand. Since you’ve decided to return to the Origin of All Things, I’ll send you."

Ye Feng noticed the implication, surprised: "You’re not returning, senior?"

Invincible Old Man shook his head, saying: "No rush, I’ll stay and fish for now, not returning."

Ye Feng scratched his head.

Invincible Old Man saw through his worry, saying: "You don’t need to worry about that coward Toutuo Progenitor, he’s been heavily injured, won’t dare attack you temporarily. Also, the higher the cultivation, the greater the cost and limits of striking against other monsters across timelines."

He paused, adding:

"In other words, you’re protected by the 426 timeline’s heavenly will, even if Toutuo Progenitor attacks, the heavenly will would intervene."

Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.

After all, Toutuo Progenitor is a half-step Great Dao controller, even suppressed by heavenly will, crushing him is easy.

"Haha, don’t worry!"

Invincible Old Man waved, "Feng Ye Sword Venerable striking across timelines at most can severely wound Heavenly Venerable realm, while Toutuo Progenitor striking across timelines at most comparable to a Dao Monarch, you can completely resist."

"Huh? Why so weak?" Ye Feng was surprised.

Invincible Old Man said: "Here, it means striking across timelines, not true body descent. Like I’m in the 626 timeline now, if I strike across timelines to 426, it’ll be greatly weakened."

Speaking, he began to demonstrate.

"Let me show you an enemy kill across timelines!"

Saying so, Invincible Old Man reached out, a Land of Void appeared in front, his pressure penetrated the timeline and appeared in 426 timeline’s border areas of Origin of All Things, turning into an illusory giant hand.

This wasn’t Invincible Old Man’s true body, but a law giant hand condensed across timelines.

Snap!

The giant hand descended from above, palm containing countless formations, gravity surged, slapping alive a mischievous peak Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable demonic beast beneath.

Afterwards, the Invincible Old Man withdrew his hand.

"The Toutuo Progenitor has already been severely injured by us. If his true body crosses into the 426 timeline, he will certainly be besieged and fall. Therefore, he dares not do so and must have hidden his true body in the Xuanhuang Continent, attacking across timelines."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng understood.

The threat from the Toutuo Progenitor naturally vanished for the foreseeable future.

He could develop steadily.

"Let’s go, I’ll send you there."

The Invincible Old Man pierced the timeline barrier and threw Ye Feng and Wang Teng into timeline 426.

The Land of Origin of All Things.

Haizhou, Origin Pool Sea, Spirit Turtle Island.

Ye Feng and Wang Teng appeared there, looking at the familiar environment in front of them; Ye Feng’s face was filled with a smile.

"This is the Misty Holy Sect’s residence."

Ye Feng pointed to the Spirit Turtle Island Main Peak, where numerous Misty Holy Sect members were gathered, along with many native cultivators from the Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster.

"For the next month, you’ll be cultivating here."

Ye Feng patted Wang Teng’s shoulder, "You can take the Nine-Turn Profound Pill here. One pill will allow you to break through to the One-layered Immortal Emperor. After that, by taking the Enlightenment Gold Pill and other elixirs, you can continuously breakthrough. I believe that after a month, you can surpass the ten-layered Immortal Emperor, return to the 626 timeline, and be able to protect yourself."

Ten-layered Immortal Emperors are not strong.

On the Xuanhuang Continent and the Land of Origin of All Things, they are considered at the bottom level. However, among the bottom, this cultivation level would be considered middle-tier.

Quasi-Heavenly Venerables and Half-Step Heavenly Venerables are the upper tier within the bottom, with higher self-preservation abilities.

Of course!

Only by advancing to Heavenly Venerable can one truly leave the bottom tier and gain some status.

"Oh my god, after a month, can I become a ten-layered Immortal Emperor?"

Wang Teng exclaimed in surprise.

"Naturally." Ye Feng laughed, bringing Wang Teng to the peak and registering him formally as the twenty-seventh generation disciple of the Misty Holy Sect.

[Ding! Recruited the twenty-seventh generation disciple Wang Teng, from the Wang Family on the Xuanhuang Continent in the 626 timeline, possessing top-tier aptitude and a supreme bloodline that has transformed to the Second Turn, with Heavenly Immortal cultivation.]

The system emitted a prompt.

"It’s been a long time since I heard such prompts."

Ye Feng seemed to return to the time when he recruited disciples like Mo Ying and Long Tianxing.

Reflecting back.

That was already decades ago.

On that day, Ye Feng announced Wang Teng’s presence, attracting the attention of old disciples like Mo Ying.

That night, a welcoming event was held.

After all, Wang Teng was too special.

He was the first cultivator of the Misty Holy Sect to come from a different timeline.

"I embarrassed my senior brothers and sisters."

Wang Teng looked at the Misty Holy Sect members, all at least Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Do not worry, first stabilize your cultivation, then refine the Nine-Turn Profound Pill to advance to the Immortal Emperor Realm. Afterward, refine the Enlightenment Gold Pill to rapidly improve your cultivation. Also, you can go to the Mind Cultivation Tower to refine and enhance your mental state."

Ye Feng explained patiently.

"Understood, I will remember, Master." Wang Teng, who had a good understanding, quickly accepted Ye Feng’s words and began his diligent cultivation.

Within the sect.

Other members would also assist Wang Teng.

In the eyes of everyone, he was the little junior brother, still so young, and having experienced hardships before, they instinctively helped Wang Teng, letting him feel warmth.

Rumbling!

After only a few days, Wang Teng completed the third turn transformation of his supreme bloodline, satisfying the conditions to consume the Nine-Turn Profound Pill, and advanced to the Immortal Emperor.

From then on, Wang Teng became the only Immortal Emperor realm cultivator in the current Misty Holy Sect.

"Wang Teng, focus on your cultivation. I need to retreat for a period to study something."

Ye Feng said.

He intended to delve into researching the "Time-Space Codex," preparing to directly ask the Invincible Old Man about the items needed for the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree’s transformation next time he saw him.

The other party should know.

"Okay." Wang Teng nodded, walking around Spirit Turtle Island, looking at the prosperous sect residence, and those brothers and sisters who were at least Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, his young face was filled with envy.

"Junior brother, let me take you through the universe."

As the senior brother, Shi Lei truly served as a role model and was very responsible. As soon as Wang Teng advanced to the first turn of the Immortal Emperor realm, Shi Lei took Wang Teng to train.

"Senior brother, can you also enter the universe?" Wang Teng learned that Shi Lei was at least a Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable. If he entered the universe, wouldn’t he explode it?

"An ordinary universe would explode under my pressure, but the universe we’re going to is unique; it can fully withstand our pressure."

Shi Lei stepped onto a cloud, carrying himself and Wang Teng to fly toward the Spirit Turtle Island Main Peak, through the Door of the Outer Realm, entering Ye Feng’s Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster.

"This place looks a lot like the Xuanhuang Continent."

Wang Teng looked around and sighed.

Shi Lei was taken aback, asking, "Does your timeline’s space resemble this one?"

Wang Teng nodded, "Very similar. The timeline I am in is the 626 timeline, with an infinitely large space region in the middle being the Xuanhuang Continent, as vast as the Land of Origin of All Things. Its surroundings are endless starry skies, nurturing many universes. You could say this cosmos cluster has a similar layout to that of the Xuanhuang Continent."

Shi Lei pondered.

When Ye Feng introduced Wang Teng, he had already explained the existence of timelines, and everyone knew this point.

However, they did not know more details.

Wang Teng continued to explain, "It’s said that the spatial structures of other timelines are similar to that of the 626 timeline, with countless cosmic rings encircling a center."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lei nodded thoughtfully.

"Could it be that the cosmic group within Sect Master Uncle’s body will eventually develop into a new timeline? But, that seems impossible, right? After all, it’s too difficult!"

Shi Lei secretly mumbled.

Soon, the two arrived at Shenzhou Continent.

Here lay the main base of the Misty Holy Sect, with Misty Peak, Spirit Beast Peak, Feilai Peak, Cultivation Peak, Spirit Lake, and Whitefloat Holy City, all very prosperous.

Wang Teng trained here, reluctant to leave.

"Wow, the grilled sausages in Whitefloat City are so delicious!"

Ultimately, Wang Teng was still a child.

Once Shi Lei took him to Whitefloat Holy City, he was instantly attracted by the roadside delicacies. After tasting a bite, his mouth was filled with rich and tasty aroma.

"Wow, so delicious!"

Wang Teng nearly shed tears.

He did not know that the cuisine of Whitefloat City all contained various rare treasures, some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures carrying laws at the spiritual level. A single bite could transport one into a delightful dream, refreshing the body.

Thus, it would make one feel happiness.

Other dishes allow one’s mind to enter a spiritual world after tasting, experiencing an extraordinary world and gaining an exceptional experience.

Beside him.

Shi Lei watched Wang Teng, who was eating with tears streaming down his face, with a gentle smile, looking at this junior still so young, his eyes were full of caring.

"Unconsciously, I’ve grown up!"

"I’m no longer the young lad without strength I used to be, but a person who stands tall and firm. I’m also the senior brother of the Misty Holy Sect. I must support the juniors and give them protection on their growth path."

Shi Lei pondered, his eyes moistening.

He did not understand why he was crying.

Perhaps, it was mourning the lost time.

Perhaps, it was being moved by the sect’s growth and development.

Perhaps, it was the inability to return to those days.

"Regardless of the past and the future, I am still the senior brother of the Misty Holy Sect, I must bear the responsibility, set a good example, and lead the juniors!"

Shi Lei silently clenched his fist.
