Chapter 60 The Feather King's Panic

Moreover—Ye Feng has another identity—the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord.

To protect Ye Feng, this matter was kept secret within a small circle of Venerables.

He happened to know.

If Ye Feng were to report this to the Lord of Chaos City—Qingjian wasn't afraid of any real punishment, but if word got out, where would he put his old face?

At the highest meeting, the other Venerables looked at him with the following gazes: "Oh, isn't that Venerable Qingjian? A dignified Universe Venerable, so petty as to block the secret realm access of a mere Universe-level child?"

Just imagining that scene made Venerable Qingjian's scalp tingle and he feel extremely ashamed.

Venerable Qingjian suppressed the urge to slap the fool in front of him away, pointed at Tu Yu Wang's nose, and said in an icy voice, "Tu Yu, listen to me. I don't care what method you use, go find Ye Feng immediately. Apologize and make amends. You must obtain his forgiveness."

His eyes were sharp as knives. "If you can't get it done—humph, my little temple can't accommodate a Buddha like you."

roll."

Under the watchful eyes of a group of powerful figures on the top floor, Tu Yuwang fled Qingjian Venerable's office in a very disheveled state.

Tu Yuwang's face turned ashen; he rarely saw Venerable Qingjian so enraged. Now, even the most foolish person would realize they'd kicked a hornet's nest.

Tu Yuwang was extremely uneasy. As he took the elevator downstairs, he dialed Yunlan's virtual universe communication number, hoping to apologize to Ye Feng through Yunlan and gain his forgiveness.

The exclusive dimension of the Chaos City Lord.

In the surging chaotic energy of the world, the figure of the Chaos City Lord slowly materialized. He was about to ask Ye Feng why he had used such a precious token to urgently request an audience, but when his gaze swept over Ye Feng's brow, the words he was about to utter suddenly stopped, replaced by genuine surprise: "Eh? Ye Feng, you—have gained the recognition of the fundamental laws of space?"

Ye Feng did not hide anything and said directly, "Yes, Master. This disciple had some fortuitous encounters in the Blood Luo World and was fortunate enough to gain the recognition of the Space Origin Law."

He paused, then, to increase his leverage, revealed more of his trump cards: "In addition, my disciple's life gene level has been increased by 300 times."

As for the combat strength required to be enfeoffed as a king, it is meaningless to mention it in front of the city lord.

"Oh?" The Chaos City Lord's surprise deepened as he scrutinized Ye Feng, as if trying to see through him completely. Then, a knowing smile appeared on his face. "Haha, it seems this trip to the Blood Luo World wasn't in vain. Tell me, what troublesome matter has made you rush to find me?"

Ye Feng's little scheme of "flexing his muscles first and then asking for help" was naturally exposed in front of the Chaos City Lord, who had lived for countless years.

However, Ye Feng's potential is indeed astonishing. In less than a century, he has reached the cosmic level, and his dual fundamental laws of fire and space have been acknowledged, especially the law of space, which almost guarantees his future achievement as a cosmic venerable.

Even setting aside his status as a disciple, Ye Feng now has the basic qualifications to make a request to the Supreme Being of the Universe.

Ye Feng stopped beating around the bush and recounted in its entirety, without embellishment, how Tu Yuwang blocked him and forcibly stripped him of his qualifications.

"—Teacher, for your disciple, losing the opportunity to explore the secret realm is a huge loss. It will directly affect your future growth rate." Ye Feng's tone was urgent.

After listening, the Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly: "This matter—the management department of the secret realm acted in accordance with the regulations, so it's not entirely wrong. With your current strength, you are indeed not up to the task of venturing into those cosmic-level secret realms."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng became anxious: "Teacher, I am a genuine cosmic-level genius. Cosmic-level geniuses have the right to venture into cosmic-level secret realms, which is written in the general outline of the 'Genius Cultivation Outline'."

They're using a clause in the detailed rules about "potential risks" to block me, and I'm not having it.

Does improving my strength quickly become a crime, depriving me of the resources I deserve?

Seeing the usually composed Ye Feng reveal a rare youthful eagerness, the Chaos City Lord found it somewhat amusing and deliberately teased him, "Then what do you want to do? I, your teacher, have always acted impartially. They are following the rules, and I cannot directly interfere."

Ye Feng clearly had a plan in mind, and immediately said, "Teacher, aren't they just harping on my strength? Then I'll just suppress my strength."

"When venturing into the secret realm later, this disciple will not bring the Burning Star Vine." Without its blessing, relying solely on himself, this disciple can at most unleash the combat power of a top-tier Realm Lord, and will definitely not reach the level of Immortality.

This shouldn't be considered a violation, right?

Without the Burning Star Vine?

The Lord of Chaos City was somewhat surprised by Ye Feng's strong determination. He shook his head and said seriously, "Ye Feng, the original intention of setting up the secret realm was to hone yourselves and unleash your potential in times of crisis. By tying your own hands, you are essentially giving up most of your reliance, which is unfair to you and defeats the original purpose of the training."

"So, what does the teacher mean—?" Ye Feng asked.

The Lord of Chaos City pondered for a moment before speaking, "How about this? I'll compensate you with the resources you have for your remaining nine attempts in the secret realm. What do you think?"

"Resource conversion?" Ye Feng was taken aback. "How does the teacher plan to convert it?"

The Chaos City Lord said, "Given your rate of progress and your temperament, you'll likely remain at the cosmic level for another one or two hundred years at most. I've estimated the value of these nine opportunities you can gain and will directly convert it into resources for you, saving you the risk and trouble of venturing out on your own. Is that alright?"

Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

Resources can be obtained without taking risks? This is like a windfall.

He nodded hastily, "Alright. This disciple agrees."

After a moment's thought, the Chaos City Lord said, "I'll give you—one Treasure Point. Is that acceptable?"

One treasure point?

Ye Feng's smile froze instantly.

Honestly, exchanging nine secret realm attempts for one treasure point for a cosmic-level genius is an astronomical price.

If word got out, it would make countless kings green with envy.

Treasure points are something that only those at the pinnacle of the King realm dare to dream of.

The Lord of Chaos City thought Ye Feng would be overjoyed, but Ye Feng simply shook his head in silence.

With a wave of his hand, 1210 million Blood Crystals, exuding a strong aura of bloodlust, piled up like a mountain, while 15 crystal-clear Beast God statues, radiating an ancient and savage aura, floated out.

"Teacher, this is the harvest of my trip to the Blood Crystal World." Ye Feng pointed to the mountain of blood crystals, "1210 million Blood Crystals. If released in batches, exchanging them for more than a dozen powerful treasures would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

The Chaos City Lord nodded. Outside, a single Blood Crystal could be fought over by a King-level expert, and its value was at least 1 million Chaos Yuan. 1210 million crystals would amount to 1210 trillion Chaos Yuan.

One Treasure Point can be exchanged for 10 trillion Chaos Yuan. Although few powerful individuals would exchange Treasure Points for Chaos Yuan, it must be admitted that 12.1 million Blood Crystals are indeed worth more than a dozen Treasure Points.

The Chaos City Lord thought to himself, "No wonder Ye Feng was so angry when he was deprived of nine opportunities to explore the secret realm. This gain is indeed astonishing."

Yes, Ye Feng possesses the combat power of a King, and the gains from exploring the secret realm cannot be measured by the standards of an ordinary genius. One treasure point is a bit too little.
