Chapter 2182: A Rare Encounter and Sharing a Drink

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Ye Feng was at a loss for words.

He admitted that Feng Ye Sword Venerable was incredibly strong, breaking the limit in every major realm. As of now, his combat power was over ten thousand times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme.

But this guy was way too narcissistic.

If he could fully suppress him, Ye Feng would really want to slap Feng Ye Sword Venerable away.

"Hmph, when I break the limit for the fourth time and condense the thirteenth cosmic ring, my combat power at the same rank will increase by about ten times, suppressing Feng Ye Sword Venerable at the same rank."

Ye Feng thought to himself.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Ye Feng drew the Primordial Sword Embryo and engaged Feng Ye Sword Venerable in close combat. Both of them had outstanding swordsmanship; every strike could hit the vital point but was neutralized by the opponent.

"Ye Feng, you’re incredible; worthy of being Feng Ye Sword Venerable of your time-space, this title is not disgraced." Feng Ye Sword Venerable said arrogantly.

"Stop flattering yourself."

Ye Feng was completely speechless, speeding up his sword moves, causing Feng Ye Sword Venerable to show signs of defeat.

"Now, you’re about to lose."

Ye Feng sped up, unleashing the power of the , accelerating suddenly, and slowing down the time in Feng Ye Sword Venerable’s region.

"Power of Space and Time? I have it too!"

Feng Ye Sword Venerable laughed, the power of the space-time origin flowing on him, counteracting Ye Feng’s time deceleration.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With the time advantage, Feng Ye Sword Venerable instantly released three sword qi, targeting Ye Feng’s weak points.

Splatter!

Ye Feng’s body was pierced, but his Primordial Sword Embryo also penetrated Feng Ye Sword Venerable’s clothes, yet was blocked by that strong sword body, unable to go in.

"I forgot."

Ye Feng frowned, retreating.

Feng Ye Sword Venerable only suppressed his cultivation level, but the strength of his physique did not weaken. Not to mention this Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable peak, even a Boundless Venerable might not be able to pierce Feng Ye Sword Venerable’s body.

That’s an unrivaled physique.

Few in the same rank can break through its defense.

"Ye Feng, nowadays, the gap between us is too large. I stand here and let you kill me, but you can’t."

Feng Ye Sword Venerable laughed.

Ye Feng stood with his sword, saying, "Almost forgot, you have a Primordial Supreme Body, such a physique is terrifying to the extreme, stronger than any constitution."

Feng Ye Sword Venerable nodded and said, "Indeed."

"Next, shall we continue fighting?" Ye Feng asked.

"Not anymore, our combat strength is similar, we both have mastered the power of space and time, cunning as well. If not for my constitution being stronger than yours, I wouldn’t have gained any advantage."

Feng Ye Sword Venerable sheathed his sword.

He admitted that Ye Feng was extremely strong.

This kind of person should be saved for last to kill.

Ye Feng also sheathed his sword, looking at the spirited Feng Ye Sword Venerable, saying, "You’re unbelievably arrogant, yet indeed very strong."

"Thank you." Feng Ye Sword Venerable nodded.

"..." Ye Feng was speechless, almost forgetting this guy was still a narcissist.

"Since we’re not fighting now, let’s arrange for another time. Originally, I planned to immediately go to other time-spaces and continue hunting the me of other time-spaces, but since I’ve met you, rare as it is, let’s have a cup of tea!"

Feng Ye Sword Venerable waved his hand.

In the void.

Countless sword flowers bloomed, forming a suspended triangle tower-shaped platform, with a pavilion, tea table, cups, table, and teapot.

Beside it, there were leaves from the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.

"I heard the quality of your tea leaves is high; today I shall taste them a bit."

Ye Feng sat opposite Feng Ye Sword Venerable.

Hu Feifei waited by the side.

In such a scene, she dared not sit.

"Sit." Feng Ye Sword Venerable didn’t look at Hu Feifei, just pointed at the empty seat beside Ye Feng.

Hu Feifei quickly took a seat.

Having witnessed Feng Ye Sword Venerable’s terror, she thought herself terribly weak, only thinking of quickly breaking the usual Invincible Supreme’s ninety-nine times the limit combat power.

Otherwise, even if she could attain the same rank in the future, she wouldn’t withstand a casual strike from Feng Ye Sword Venerable.

Feng Ye Sword Venerable began making tea.

His skills were high, controlling the heat perfectly. Plus, using the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves, the brewed tea was fragrant and emitted a radiant glow.

Just smelling it greatly increased one’s perception.

"Indeed good tea, unfortunately, my Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree has just completed the seventh transformation. There is still a considerable gap to become a Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree."

Ye Feng shrugged.

Feng Ye Sword Venerable laughed, saying, "It’s already impressive. After nine transformations, it will certainly advance to a Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree."

"Here’s hoping." Ye Feng nodded.

The three savored their tea.

Ye Feng thought of something, asking, "Why did you cross time-space and attack the Dao Sect on Origin Pool Sea Spirit Turtle Island, snatching the Enlightenment Tea Tree?"

"Didn’t the Fisherman tell you?" Feng Ye Sword Venerable was pouring tea, "That Enlightenment Tea Tree had a special Spirit Seed, huge potential, and caught my eye."

"But you severely wounded the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable, Army-Destroyer Heavenly Venerable, and the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables." Ye Feng frowned, "With your strength, there’s no need to harm anyone to take the Enlightenment Tea Tree, why do it?"

"I wasn’t strong enough back then, limitations when crossing time-space were many, so I couldn’t perfectly retract my aura, naturally, they’d be hurt."

Feng Ye Sword Venerable explained casually.

Ye Feng understood.

"So a million years ago, you were far from being this strong?" Ye Feng asked.

"Of course, all these years, I’ve been progressing. I feel I’m getting closer to being a Half-Step Great Dao Controller. Someday, when you reach the Boundless Venerable Realm, I’ll engage you in a life-and-death battle."

Feng Ye Sword Venerable said earnestly.

He appreciated Ye Feng greatly.

But the life-and-death battle is inevitable.

"I’m up for it. When I reach the Boundless Venerable Realm, I’ll naturally accept the invite." Ye Feng said, "However, is it truly unavoidable for us to battle?"

"It cannot be avoided." Feng Ye Sword Venerable shook his head.

"Another question, are you really sure I’m the you from another time-space?" Ye Feng asked with an earnest look in his eyes.

Feng Ye Sword Venerable froze.

"Isn’t it?" he asked in return.

Ye Feng shook his head, saying, "I don’t know, but I feel if I’m not the you in another time-space, is there truly a need for us to kill each other?"

Feng Ye Sword Venerable put down his teacup, staring at Ye Feng.

For a long time.

A hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

In the past, whenever he encountered another time-space version of himself, he could quickly sense it, wholeheartedly certain the other was him in another time-space.

But now...

Looking at Ye Feng, Feng Ye Sword Venerable didn’t feel the same strong sense.

Could Ye Feng not be him?

But why, when he first saw him, did he feel like he’d encountered himself from a parallel time-space?

Is it a misconception?

Feng Ye Sword Venerable fell into contemplation.

Ye Feng looked at Feng Ye Sword Venerable, feeling the other might not be himself from a parallel time-space.

Last time on timeline 1011, Ye Feng met himself from that time-space.

The other was a college graduate wearing glasses, a designer at an energy company, drawing endless designs every day, eating endless pancakes, growing increasingly haggard.

Ye Feng helped him.

As things naturally progressed, he subsequently married a wealthy and beautiful woman, his savings surpassed millions, reaching the peak of life, living happily, very fulfilled.

Though not rich beyond belief.

He lived comfortably and joyfully.

Cross-referencing himself from that timeline, Ye Feng realized the other and Feng Ye Sword Venerable didn’t seem to be the same person, just somewhat similar.

This means he might not be Feng Ye Sword Venerable from another time-space.

"Impossible, you must be me!"

Feng Ye Sword Venerable shook his head, not thoroughly convinced Ye Feng was him, but said it this way anyway.

"Perhaps it’s not possible to be completely sure now, but I believe there will be a result in the future," Ye Feng said.

"When you advance to the Boundless Realm and comprehend the infinite laws, the truth will naturally be clear," said Feng Ye Sword Venerable.

Ye Feng nodded.

The two continued drinking tea and chatting casually, sometimes discussing the Dao, sometimes explaining cultivation problems, at times discussing space-time laws, or just casually chatting about their experiences on other timelines.

They seemed like friends who could talk about anything.

Hu Feifei was quite astonished at the sight.

No matter how you looked at it, these two didn’t seem like they were destined for a life-and-death battle.

"Are they considered enemies? If so, why can they chat and laugh like this?"

Hu Feifei couldn’t help but complain.

Ye Feng said, "We do have a life-and-death contract, but that’s because Feng Ye Sword Venerable believes I am another version of himself from a different timeline. But in truth, we have no real animosity and can be friends."

After pausing for a moment, he added:

"At least for now, we can still be friends."

To this, Feng Ye Sword Venerable nodded in agreement.

More than half a day later.

Feng Ye Sword Venerable stood up, "I have to go."

"I won’t see you off," Ye Feng cupped his hands.

Before leaving, Feng Ye Sword Venerable handed a sword-shaped jade pendant to Ye Feng, stating, "It contains a source of my Sword Qi, usable three times."

"Afraid I’ll die?" Ye Feng said with a smile that was half amused and half helpless.

"Of course," Feng Ye Sword Venerable nodded, as if it were a matter of course, "Ye Feng, remember, in the endless time-space, only I can kill you."

Ye Feng’s mouth twitched, left speechless.

Whoosh!

Feng Ye Sword Venerable tore through the void, fleeing into another timeline, disappearing without a trace.

"That guy really leaves me speechless. Who in this world can kill me? This Sword Qi is useless!"

Though Ye Feng said this, he still promptly put away the source Sword Qi.

This was no ordinary item.

Having this item means it can unleash the terrifying power of Feng Ye Sword Venerable’s three strikes at a critical time, which could seriously injure even an ordinary Boundless Venerable, right?

Or, if one is daring enough.

Could it kill a Boundless Venerable?

The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more excited he became.

"Sect Leader, you just said it was useless, and now you’re putting it away. Men and their lies," Hu Feifei teased.

"I just don’t want to lose this sword-shaped jade pendant in this timeline, causing pollution."

Ye Feng shamelessly defended himself.

Sometime later, Ye Feng and Hu Feifei continued to roam this timeline for three days, confirming everything before returning to the Origin of All Things to take a break.

In the Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster.

Ye Feng was making a rare inspection here, calling together many old acquaintances like Xiao Cangtian, Yuzhu, Yu Luo Quasi-Saint, Xue Yan, Wu Xuan, and Jiaoyang Ancient Saint.

Now, they were all cultivating in the universe.

Their cultivation levels had long reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

This was not because they had high aptitude, but because as Ye Feng’s universe level continuously increased, each time he broke the limits, it would trigger a Dao law tide.

Practicing within it allowed for rapid breakthrough in realms.

Plus, as friends of Ye Feng, they also received resource favoritism from the Misty Holy Sect, so naturally, they were able to quickly ascend, becoming Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, Heavenly Venerables, and even mid-tier Heavenly Venerables.

"Ye Feng, finally meeting you."

A figure with overwhelming demonic might approached.

This was the Ancestor of Demons, responsible for guarding the stationed grounds of Ascension Holy City. Previously, with Ye Feng’s help, he testified to the First Turn Heavenly Venerable, becoming a key figure in resisting invasions from the Abyss Clan and other powerful Outer Realm clans.

Since then, he had been diligently cultivating in Ascension Holy City.

With Ye Feng’s occasional resource support and cultivation efforts in places like the Mind Cultivation Tower, along with occasional battles at the Blood Moon Trial Ground, his cultivation level surged.

He was now at the peak of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

"Not bad, you’re almost catching up with me."

Ye Feng teased, patting the Ancestor of Demons on the shoulder, expressing satisfaction with his progress.

"Hahaha..." The Ancestor of Demons retracted his energy, "After all, I was the third prodigy next only to you and the Mysterious God in the Twin Universes. It’s only natural I have this level of cultivation now, isn’t it?"

After pausing, he pointed behind him.

The Crimson Queen, Tiangang Immortal Emperor, Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, True Spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xu Longjia, the Four Dreams of Heaven and Earth Mystical Colors, Qingchen Ancient Immortal, and other cosmic powerhouses had all broken through to mid-high-tier Heavenly Venerables.

Especially Emperor Dragon Sovereign and the Crimson Queen.

They had also reached the peak of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

"Thank you, Master, for your nurturing."

Everyone cupped their hands and bowed.

Now, the Twin Universe had been merged by Ye Feng into his Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster, and as the Master of the Universe, Ye Feng was naturally their common ruler.

"Ye Feng, long time no see."

"Ye Feng, you actually came back."

The Tyrant Emperor, Spirit Venerable, Thunder Emperor, and Sword God, once the mightiest in the half side of the Three Thousand Realms Universe, appeared, now also high-tier Heavenly Venerables, with Seventh-Turn Heavenly Venerable cultivation.

"Meet the Master."

The Slaughter Venerable, leader of the Conspirator Faction Main Battle Party, and Necromancy Monarch, leader of the Harmony Faction, also arrived.

Their cultivation levels fell short, just Third-Turn Heavenly Venerables.

Following them were Heavenly Venerable Lu, the founder of the Ancient Dragon Court, and his daughter Venerable Lu Xia.

Now, Heavenly Venerable Lu had already become a true Heavenly Venerable. Although he was only a First-Turn Heavenly Venerable, he was considered a true Venerable of the Heavenly Dao Realm. His daughter, Venerable Lu Xia, had just broken through to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, with relatively lesser cultivation.

"You’ve all broken through!"

Ye Feng smiled.

Time flew by, and it had been ten years since they resisted the Abyss Clan’s invasion.

These ten years had been a decade of rapid cosmic development.

Especially in the early years, after Ye Feng received the addition of Annihilation Dao Venerable, built the Mind Cultivation Tower, crafted the Blood Moon Trial Ground, and other cultivation holy lands, the cosmic powerhouses also enjoyed many resources, significantly boosting their cultivation.

Ye Feng surveyed the surroundings, filled with emotion.

Suddenly, he noticed a familiar figure.

It was a tall black figure, several meters high.

Its appearance resembled a combination of a black cat and a black panther, with cold eyes. As it walked, its skin rhythmically twitched, appearing graceful, yet exuding pressure.

Black Prison Demonic Beast!

Now, he too had testified to Heavenly Venerable, becoming a divine beast specialized in devouring evil and malicious thoughts.

"Haha, Ye Feng!"

Upon seeing Ye Feng, the Black Prison Demonic Beast instantly lost its composure, shrinking to human height, standing upright, and resting a paw-like arm on Ye Feng’s shoulder.

Ye Feng didn’t have much to say.

Back when he was fishing at Black Prison Peak, he often linked arms with the other, acting carefree.

And Ye Feng rarely had such a friend.

"Since it’s a rare gathering today, let’s drink till we’re drunk!"

Ye Feng took out a huge vat of fine wine, inviting everyone to drink with him, while also discussing the Dao.

[PS: This Chapter contains over 4200 words, good evening to all the bosses!]

-----------------

Some people are complaining about the power levels collapsing?

I admit there is some collapse, but it’s not that severe.

I seem to remember explaining that Ye Feng has a very strong foundation, so it gives the impression that he has immense power.

When Ye Feng was a First-Turn Heavenly Venerable, his foundation could rival that of a Fifth-Turn Heavenly Venerable, with combat power multiplied ten thousand times, which is why he could easily defeat a Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

Now that Ye Feng is at the peak of Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, he’s nearly invincible below the Dao Venerable level.

He’s preparing to open up thirteen cosmic rings, once again breaking limits, making his foundation even stronger.

Honestly, Ye Feng doesn’t rely much on combat power; he relies on consistently building a strong foundation, and when he reaches the Immeasurable Realm, his foundation can rival that of a Half-Step Great Dao Controller, naturally allowing him to fight a Half-Step Great Dao Controller.

Also, the Invincible Old Man and others have said before that as you progress, combat power plays less of a role, and it depends on one’s understanding of the Dao. When the foundation is strong enough, it can match the Dao; combat power might not be high, but when the foundation is strong, one can still sweep other strong individuals.

Alright, that’s all for the explanation.
