Chapter 87 The Senior Brothers' Excitement and Gratitude (3K)

Swish.

Swish.

Two figures instantly appeared in the pavilion—it was Ye Feng's fifth and sixth senior brothers.

Ye Feng quickly said, "Greetings, senior brothers."

Over the years, Ye Feng had met with his fifth and sixth senior brothers several times. Although their relationship was not as close as his relationship with Qi Ke and Yun Lan, they were still considered close.

The two senior brothers, one tall and one short, nodded and greeted each other with smiles. At Yunlan's invitation, the four of them sat down.

"Junior brother, you speak," Yunlan said.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Senior brothers, I have some Blood Crystals on hand. Would you like them?"

Fifth Senior Brother Yuhe and Sixth Senior Brother Zefeng paused for a moment, then said urgently, "Yes, of course we need it! Blood Crystal! Who doesn't need it?!"

Ye Feng didn't waste any time. With a wave of his hand, two spatial rings appeared in front of the two. Yu He and Ze Feng scanned them with their divine power, and a look of wild joy suddenly appeared on their faces. "1000 rings, so many?"

"This—this, junior brother, you've given me a bit too much."

Blood Crystals are only produced in the Blood Crystal World. Only cosmic-level geniuses are qualified to venture into the Blood Crystal World. In the secret realm, the vast majority of Blood Crystals are in the hands of powerhouses above the Domain Lord level. In a single Blood Crystal World trip, one can only obtain a few dozen crystals in a few days, which is already considered extremely lucky.

Other powerful individuals who want to obtain Blood Crystals can only do so through auctions or by applying to their clan based on their contributions.

Two hundred Blood Crystals were enough to make even King Golden Eyes and Cloud Demon King, who had reached the highest level of immortality, envious and fight over them. How could Ye Feng not shock them by giving each of them 1000 Blood Crystals in one go?

"Take it, don't be shy. Our junior brother here is very generous. He just gave me nearly 500 billion Chaos Units to help the Star-Burning Vine advance."

Yunlan looked at her two surprised junior brothers with amusement.

Seeing this, Ye Feng secretly chuckled to himself. Luckily, not each of them had 10,000 coins, otherwise, his two senior brothers might have had to sell themselves to him.

Yuhe and Zefeng exchanged a glance, then nodded and accepted the spatial ring floating in front of them. Immediately afterward, Yuhe waved his hand, and a jade pendant-shaped cyan flame-patterned token appeared in front of Ye Feng. "Junior Brother, the Blood Crystal is very important to us, so we won't stand on ceremony. Besides this token, we don't have anything valuable to offer right now. Please accept this Azure Flame Secret Realm token for now, and we'll definitely make up for it later."

Ye Feng smiled and nodded, accepting the jade pendant-shaped token.

The two senior brothers were also people who cared about their reputation; if Ye Feng refused, it would be a sign that he looked down on them.

I recently heard from the Illusion Star King that there might be a treasure of the Azure Fire Clan in the Azure Fire Secret Realm. Once he's armed, it would be good to take a look.

To kill a peak-level expert, besides having a higher level of understanding of the laws than ordinary Venerables and being able to use secret techniques above the peak level, the weapon is also very important; at least a treasure is needed.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ye Feng left.

After two months of flying, Ye Feng returned to the headquarters of Virtual Universe Audit Company and headed straight for Chaos City.

In the Chaos Ruins, the figure of the Chaos City Lord stood there as if it had never changed since time immemorial.

"Disciple Ye Feng greets Master!"

Ye Feng followed Venerable Guiyi to the Chaos Ruins, met his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, and bowed.

Each visit to Chaos Ruins brings him a different feeling.

In an instant, the murderous aura surrounding the Chaos City Lord slowly subsided. "How was your experience on the extraterritorial battlefield?"

A rare smile appeared on the face of the Chaos City Lord as he looked at his young disciple.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "It was very rewarding."

This is the truth. Not only has there been great progress in terms of laws, but also in terms of mindset and secret techniques.

Fighting on battlefields outside the human realm and witnessing the strength of different races is far superior to being confined to human territory.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly and then said, "Originally, as your teacher, I should bestow some treasures upon you as you break through to the Realm Lord level. However, we must agree that I will not directly bestow upon you weapons of destruction, but you can ask me for secret techniques and cultivation aids."

"Also, feel free to ask me any questions you may have about cultivation."

The mission agreement was one thing, but he didn't want to slow down Ye Feng's cultivation and growth.

Ye Feng simply smiled and nodded.

The Lord of Chaos City added, "If you wish to create a secret technique, you may come to me, and I can help you."

Ye Feng bowed and said, "Thank you, teacher."

"Furthermore, if you encounter a life-or-death crisis while holding this token, you can crush it directly, and I will locate your position through the virtual universe and descend upon you."

As he spoke, the Lord of Chaos waved his hand, and a palm-sized, strange wooden token floated toward Ye Feng, hovering in front of him.

Tearing through space and time, making a move?

Ye Feng reached out and took it, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Teacher."

The Lord of Chaos waved his hand dismissively, saying, "No need to thank me. It's all thanks to the talent you've displayed. Otherwise, even if you were my personal disciple, I wouldn't have bestowed this token upon you."

"Remember, the talent and potential you're showing now only have this one chance to be 'rescued,' so cherish it."

Ye Feng nodded.

The Chaos City Lord looked at his disciple and couldn't help but ask, "Having returned from the extraterrestrial battlefield, are you preparing for seclusion to cultivate and challenge the Primordial Heavenly Mountain?"

He was genuinely curious whether Ye Feng could truly conquer the Primal Tongtian Mountain within 1000 years.

To comprehend the original laws of Tongtian Mountain, one must reach at least the level of the 18th floor of the Tongtian Bridge; this is the minimum requirement.

Two hundred years ago, Ye Feng only passed through the 11th level of the Heavenly Bridge, which was only at the level of an immortal military lord.

In less than 800 years, will Ye Feng really be able to pass through 7 levels and reach the level of becoming a King and Immortal?

Immediately, the Lord of Chaos City shook his head and chuckled inwardly, "How could that be?"

He actually got into Ye Feng's rhythm. In the billions of years of human history, the most monstrous genius took at least 10000 years to go from an immortal military lord to an immortal king.

Ye Feng's journey to achieving enlightenment of the laws of kingship in a thousand years is 10 times faster than the fastest record of kingship achieved by any human race. This is impossible.

Even though the Chaos City Lord sensed that Ye Feng's current law fluctuations were at the level of the 15th to 16th level of the Tongtian Bridge, it still did not affect his judgment.

"When Ye Feng ventured into the secret realm, his laws were already at the 12th or 13th level. In 200 years, he improved by 3 levels, which is indeed amazing. But even if he continued to cultivate at this speed, it would be impossible for him to improve by another 2 levels in 800 years."

The Lord of Chaos thought to himself.

The further you go on the Sky Bridge, the more difficult it becomes, and the larger the span of each level becomes.

The 17th and 18th floors are particularly astonishing.

This is a consensus among those with even a little bit of knowledge and strength in the universe.

The difference in difficulty can also be seen from the number of experts who have been granted the titles of King and Marquis.

Only about 10 humans were granted the title of king, while the number of those granted the title of marquis started at least at two million.

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom is said to have three hundred kings and marquises, but Ye Feng knows that apart from the top dozen or so who have been granted the title of king, the remaining two hundred and eighty-odd people are all granted the title of marquis.

The Thirteen Gods calculated that these were powerful beings directly under the lord of the universe.

One Qianwu Universe Kingdom has at least a thousand marquises, and 1008 Universe Kingdoms have at least a million marquises.

Then, calculating the titles of the five major forces, including the Virtual Universe Company, the total number of titles is two million, if not more.

Of the dozens of marquises who were granted titles, only one person was able to cross the chasm of the 17th to 18th floors of the Heavenly Bridge and become a king, which shows how difficult it was.

Ye Feng was unaware of the Chaos City Lord's thoughts. Since his teacher was concerned about his disciple's cultivation, he told him the truth, nodding with a smile, "Well, I've gained some things since returning from the extraterrestrial battlefield. During this time of converting resources into strength, I plan to focus on comprehending the laws and strive to pass through the Primal Tongtian Mountain before going to the extraterrestrial battlefield for my second mission."

Ye Feng did indeed plan it this way. The Star Vine would need at least three to four hundred years to digest and absorb nearly 500 billion Hunyuan resources to break through to immortality. During this time, he devoted himself to seclusion and cultivation, striving to break through the Primal Tongtian Mountain.

Seeing Ye Feng's confidence, the Chaos City Lord also became interested and said directly, "Then you can cultivate according to your own plan. I have prepared the Chaos Stele for you, just waiting for you to come and collect it. In addition, based on your performance in the extraterrestrial battlefield over the past 80 years, your authority as Sword Blazing Marquis has been upgraded to the title of Immortal King."

"Go."

Ye Feng smiled and nodded, then bowed and turned to leave.

Sword Blazing Marquis was a virtual identity arranged by the Lord of Chaos City using his virtual universe authority to prevent Ye Feng from being assassinated by alien races and to facilitate Ye Feng's activities in the extraterritorial battlefield.

Apart from the universe masters of the human race, no one else could find out anything about Ye Feng.

"So you've been granted the authority to be a king? That saves me trouble; I can go to the Hong Alliance to buy that treasure now."

Ye Feng thought for a moment, then left the Chaos Ruins and walked out from the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

A bald man in white armor walked towards them. He was also a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Ye Feng's senior brother, and Venerable Guiyi.

"Junior Brother Ye Feng, have you greeted the teacher?"

Ye Feng smiled and nodded, bowing slightly as he said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Guiyi, and greetings, Teacher."

Venerable Guiyi patted Ye Feng on the shoulder affectionately, "I've heard about what happened between you and your teacher. Keep up the good work."

He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "I also heard that the teacher has prepared the materials for two Chaos Monuments for you. As long as you succeed, he will begin the process of condensing them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes lit up, and he nodded emphatically.

After exchanging a few words with Ye Feng, Venerable Guiyi flashed into the Chaos Ruins.

Watching Venerable Guiyi leave, Ye Feng shook his head with some emotion. "Senior Brother Guiyi was also a pitiful person. In the original story, he possessed the strength of a cosmic overlord, and even when he ventured into the Primordial Star, he still had to borrow a treasure from his junior brother Luo Feng—"

Ye Feng sighed, "Teacher Chaos is still too—fair!"

His disciples were all poorer than the last.

Ye Feng sometimes wondered if he could obtain the Chaos Stele without demonstrating his talent or strength if he were to become the disciple of another universe lord.

He immediately shook his head, "That might not work either. A Chaos Stele, especially a high-level one like the Cosmic Chaos Stele, not only requires materials of the highest quality, but also consumes the time and energy of the Lord of the Universe. This is also an invisible cost."

Even if a cosmic lord dotes on his disciple, it's possible to bestow a few treasures, but wasting time and energy to condense a Chaos Stele just to accelerate his disciple's comprehension of the laws as a realm lord is somewhat counterproductive.

"Go and study the Chaos Stele, cultivate diligently, and then try to cross the Heavenly Bridge."

Ye Feng felt a surge of excitement. With the help of "Heavenly Fire Notes" for two hundred years, he had made considerable progress in cultivating the laws, but his accumulation was even greater.

It's a good opportunity to use the Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele to refine my cultivation.
