Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Chapter 59 Yunlan: This is too much!

Before Ye Feng could speak, Yun Lan couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "King Tu Yu. Ye Feng possesses immortal combat power at the cosmic level; that's his skill and his good fortune."

"Isn't it going too far to disqualify someone outright? You must know what the secret realm means for a genius's growth, right?"

Tu Yuwang sneered, "Too much? Yunlan, Article 138 of Section 8 of the Ninth Principle of the Company's 'Secret Realm Management Regulations' clearly states:"

When a powerful being exceeding the carrying capacity of a given level appears in a cosmic secret realm, posing a potential risk of destruction, the secret realm management department has the right to eliminate it.

Everything is being done according to regulations. Ye Feng's strength already poses a threat to the stability of a cosmic-level secret realm. We are acting entirely in accordance with the law and regulations.

He glanced at Ye Feng sideways, his tone contemptuous, "If you're not satisfied, feel free to complain to your teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable. Our Minister Qingjian is always ready to answer the Nine Swords Venerable's questions."

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he teleported away with a "whoosh," leaving behind a mess on the table and two people with ashen faces.

"This is outrageous!" Yunlan slammed her hand on the table in anger, sending cups and plates flying. "Ye Feng, let's go find the teacher. I refuse to believe that the secret realm management department can control everything."

Ye Feng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging anger, his eyes unusually calm: "Fourth Senior Brother, this King Tu Yu—do you have a grudge against him?"

Yunlan was taken aback, and after thinking carefully, she shook her head: "No, we rarely interact, let alone celebrate holidays together."

"So, Venerable Qingjian and Teacher Jiujian have a conflict?" Ye Feng pressed.

Yunlan frowned: "This... I don't know."

"Should we ask the teacher?" Yunlan suggested.

Ye Feng shook his head, his gaze deep: "No need. The other party is invoking Venerable Qingjian and company regulations, holding the moral high ground. Even if Master Jiujian intervenes, it will be difficult to forcefully reverse the situation. They came prepared."

He knew perfectly well what was going on.

If you were to say that Venerable Qingjian, who was behind Tu Yuwang, had no grudge against his teacher, Venerable Jiujian, even if you killed Yunlan, Ye Feng wouldn't believe it.

The logic of the universe is that talent reigns supreme and the strong are respected. Even if we take a step back and assume they don't know that there is another teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, standing behind them, the talent they have shown is enough to attract the attention of the Venerable One.

Without being immodest, Ye Feng's talent in passing the 11th level of the Heavenly Bridge at the cosmic level is such that even a cosmic venerable wouldn't offend him without reason.

"Are you just going to accept this? Give up the remaining opportunities in the secret realm?" Yunlan asked anxiously.

He knew all too well how many opportunities those cosmic secret realms held, opportunities that would make even kings and venerables envious. With his junior brother's strength, it would be a great pity to miss them.

Just then, Ye Feng's wrist twitched, and an official email popped up. He opened it, and his face darkened completely, turning icy cold.

The email content is concise:

[Ye Feng, a cosmic-level genius from the Primal Secret Realm: Given that you already possess the combat power of a Military Lord Immortal, exceeding the upper limit of the requirements for exploring a cosmic-level secret realm, the Secret Realm Management Department has decided, effective immediately, to waive all your subsequent privileges for exploring cosmic-level secret realms. We hope you will focus on your own breakthroughs, advance to Domain Lord and Realm Lord as soon as possible, and explore even wider worlds.]

Signed: Virtual Universe Company, Secret Realm Management Department.

They didn't even give them a chance to appeal; they just issued a notice.

"Damn it." Even Ye Feng, with his calm and collected nature, couldn't help but swear at this moment.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Ye Feng.

This isn't just slapping him in the face; it's a real blow to his livelihood and a hindrance to his future.

In fact, if the other party had properly discussed the matter with him and offered a certain compensation plan, like the Immortal Temple Master of the Blood Luo World, Ye Feng would have accepted it.

With the resources, he directly broke through to the Realm Lord level, gaining two extra equipment slots and accelerating his talent and strength improvement, which was quite good.

However, the attitude of the other party in this notice completely enraged Ye Feng.

He snorted coldly and said to Yunlan, whose face was full of concern, "Fourth Senior Brother, thank you for your concern. Don't worry about this."

His eyes flashed with a cold light: "This matter is not over."

After saying that, without giving Yunlan a chance to persuade him again, he teleported away with a "whoosh".

The headquarters of the Secret Realm Management Department, top floor.

Tu Yuwang took the high-speed elevator directly to the top floor of the building, walked familiarly to the minister's office, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and entered.

Inside the office, the space seemed to be slightly distorted by an invisible force, rippling with subtle waves. Behind the large desk sat a middle-aged man with a sharp aura and a dignified face—Venerable Qingjian.

Hearing the commotion, he looked up at the newly arrived King Tu Yu and asked calmly, "King Tu Yu? What is it?"

Tu Yuwang was one of his capable subordinates, and knowing that he disliked being disturbed, he wouldn't come up unless necessary.

Tu Yuwang put on a smile, with a hint of obsequious respect: "Your Excellency, Yunlan just came to me, wanting to plead for his junior brother Ye Feng and ask me to retract my decision to cancel the secret realm's access."

Hey, I shut him down with the management regulations. I didn't give him any face at all.

He felt he had handled the matter brilliantly; striking down the disciple of the Nine Swords Venerable was simply a way of venting the anger of the Clear Stream Venerable.

"Ye Feng?"

Venerable Qingjian frowned almost imperceptibly, then, as if he hadn't heard clearly, he asked again to confirm: "You said—whose secret realm access should be revoked?"

His previously calm gaze instantly sharpened.

"That's Ye Feng. The Nine Swords Venerable's newest disciple." Tu Yu Wang's tone was relaxed, even tinged with disdain. "Don't worry, all the procedures and formalities are compliant and absolutely verifiable. This kid, relying on his connections, has been plundering resources from the secret realm, and even—"

"Ye Feng—a disciple of the Nine Swords—" Venerable Qingjian murmured, his expression changing instantly.

He abruptly stood up from his chair, an invisible pressure causing the ripples in the office space to become disordered. He stared intently at Tu Yuwang, his eyes fixed on him as if he were looking at an idiot, his voice rising sharply, filled with barely suppressed rage: "Fool! Who the hell told you to revoke Ye Feng's permission to enter the Chaotic Secret Realm without authorization?!"

The angry shout was like a thunderclap, startling Tu Yuwang, freezing the smile on his face instantly, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

He couldn't understand why he had provoked such a furious reaction from Venerable Qingjian when he was clearly standing up for him.

Venerable Qingjian's chest heaved, his heart practically roaring with rage.

His old feud with the Nine Swords Venerable was nothing more than a petty squabble between geniuses during their youth, a trivial conflict that had been forgotten long ago, eight hundred epochs ago.

Even if they didn't turn the page, they would go straight for the Nine Swords Venerable, rather than stooping so low as to use their authority to make things difficult for his disciples.

The secret realm, open to cosmic-level geniuses, is specifically designed to hone their skills and facilitate rapid growth; this is the fundamental premise of everything.

Ye Feng's ability to possess immortal strength at the cosmic level is his own skill, and he deserves to receive more resources.

As for those detailed rules and regulations, they are only to prevent some powerful individuals from plundering the resources of the secret realm, not to hinder these cosmic-level geniuses.
