NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1648: Weak Points in the Universe
"Greetings, Supreme Elder."
Upon learning that Huo Lingjiao was a 65th Layer Immortal Emperor, Gong Qingqiu did not dare to neglect and promptly cupped his hands in salute.
"Elder Gong, no need for formalities."
Huo Lingjiao scrutinized Gong Qingqiu, noticing the other's gentle demeanor, being a 38th Layer Immortal Emperor, also stepping into the Immortal Realm.
"Elder Gong, is there something you need from me?"
Ye Feng glanced at the special document in Gong Qingqiu's hand and asked casually.
"There are two matters. First, this special document." Gong Qingqiu first handed the special document to Ye Feng, "Sect Leader, this is the content and related procedure we drafted for recruiting the tenth-generation disciples. Please review it."
"Oh, let me see!"
Ye Feng browsed through the document and found that the assessment content described was similar to that for recruiting the ninth-generation disciples, only more formalized.
"Hmm, not bad. From now on, recruit disciples according to this procedure. Both written and martial tests are necessary."
Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Gong Qingqiu took back the document, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Moreover, the task of recruiting the tenth-generation disciples is fully entrusted to you, and in everyday matters, you can handle them on your own. If you encounter difficult decisions, you may contact me directly."
Ye Feng supplemented.
"I obey your command." Gong Qingqiu nodded.
"And the other matter?" Ye Feng asked.
Gong Qingqiu put away the document, took out an invitation letter with a red edge and golden face, and presented it with both hands.
"Sect Leader, a few days ago, an Ancient Immortal Emperor personally visited and left this invitation letter, insisting that only you have the qualifications to open it."
Gong Qingqiu said solemnly.
"Oh?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
Behind him, Huo Lingjiao and Xia Yao were also full of curiosity, wanting to know who was so mysterious as to send Ye Feng an invitation letter.
Ye Feng accepted the invitation letter and browsed through it.
Huo Lingjiao tiptoed and peeked at the invitation from behind, but found the script completely different from that of the Flame Universe, totally unreadable.
Xia Yao glanced at it and was instantly surprised.
"Turns out it's an invitation for me to attend a conference."
Ye Feng put away the invitation.
"A conference?"
Both Gong Qingqiu and Huo Lingjiao expressed curiosity, wanting to know the content of the so-called conference.
"The initiator of the conference is a 90th Layer Immortal Emperor who emerged from Black Prison, but he is not a prisoner; he's an elder who reclines within Black Prison. The invitation states he invited numerous top-ranked Immortal Emperors, including me, but the specifics for discussion are unknown."
Ye Feng explained.
"90th Layer Immortal Emperor!"
Huo Lingjiao's heartbeat accelerated.
Such a powerhouse, during the peak period in the Flame Universe, could rank within the top ten powerhouses, yet unexpectedly, he extended courteous invitation to Ye Feng.
This sufficiently indicates his significance.
"When will the meeting be held?"
Xia Yao asked out of curiosity.
As the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, not receiving that 90th Layer Immortal Emperor's invitation made her feel quite humiliated.
"June, still quite a while away."
Ye Feng stored away the invitation letter.
"Currently, it's January in Shenzhou, nearly half a year until June, yet the invitation has been sent so early?" Xia Yao's eyes sparkled, also wanting to attend the conference.
"Never mind, since the conference is still about half a year away, it probably isn't of severe importance. Most likely, that 90th Layer Immortal Emperor just wants to meet and socialize with other powerhouses across the universe."
Ye Feng mentioned casually.
"Perhaps." Xia Yao nodded.
"Sect Leader, I have nothing else for now, I'll take my leave first." Gong Qingqiu cupped his hands.
"Hmm, off you go!" Ye Feng nodded.
"What should we do next?" Huo Lingjiao looked at Ye Feng, "Continue hunting those Ancient Prisoners who escaped Black Prison?"
Xia Yao also looked at Ye Feng.
"No hurry, I might need to retreat for some time again. Stay within Misty Sect, or you may wander nearby if you prefer." Ye Feng gazed at Huo Lingjiao, "As the Supreme Elder of the sect, you may choose any uninhabited Floating Island up in the sky at will."
He pointed upwards.
Huo Lingjiao looked up.
Above Misty Sect, numerous starlike shining Floating Islands hovered. Some were the residences of Mo Ying and the strongest batch of disciples, some were elder dwellings, and others were scenic platforms for planting flowers and grass.
"Alright."
Huo Lingjiao nodded, accepted the sect attire and identity token that Ye Feng just prepared, then eagerly pulled Xia Yao up into the sky to select a Floating Island.
Misty Peak summit.
Ye Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, both hands resting on his knees, quietly closing his eyes.
...
Inside the small universe.
Ye Feng's shadow emerged, watching the void energy continuously seeping in through the cosmic barriers, hurriedly mobilizing the entire small universe's power to accelerate the digestion of this energy, rapidly strengthening every corner of the small universe.
Under his propulsion, the little universe's speed of refining and absorbing void energy increased more than tenfold.
Buzz!
A reverberation resounded.
Ye Feng looked over and discovered that the Hexagonal Ancestral Box, after engulfing a massive amount of void energy, had surged in cultivation from the previous 10th Layer Immortal Emperor to the 15th Layer Immortal Emperor.
Its speed of creating new species significantly increased.
The influx of void energy would be even greater.
"This is a virtuous cycle."
Ye Feng said so.
He looked around and found that the Dao Scripture had perfected to the sixty-third layer; even the eighty-first layer page appeared, though it seemed tattered and without any text.
"The recovery speed of the Dao Scripture is really fast!"
Ye Feng was very pleased.
The restoration of the Dao Scripture is crucial; with it, the Misty Sect members can cultivate according to the original mysteries on it, quickly enhancing their cultivation level.
In addition, by taking the Nine-Turn Profound Pill, the breakthrough speed of the Misty Sect members was like riding a Flying Sword.
This could shock people.
Ye Feng continued to accelerate the refining of Void Energy in his small universe, and then, he arrived at the central continent.
Whistling!
The wind here was strong, but the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree growing in the center didn't sway at all, as if suppressing a piece of heaven and earth as a divine tree.
"Five hundred meters tall?!"
Ye Feng was dumbfounded.
Last year, the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree was only several dozen meters tall, but now, it had reached five hundred meters and was still growing, with leaves numbering over a million, ready for picking.
"Haha, this is so wonderful!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but dance with joy.
With the leaves of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree in the mature stage in the millions, even drinking every day wouldn't use them up. Moreover, the current Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree was frantically accumulating origin energy. Perhaps, when it grows to a kilometer high, it can meet the conditions to enter the Metamorphosis Period.
"Mature stage, Metamorphosis Period, Peak stage!"
"The current Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree is in the mid-to-late stage of the mature phase. As long as it continues to accumulate energy, it won't be long before it can attempt to break through to the Metamorphosis Period. Once it endures it, it will reach the Peak stage."
"The peak...I'm truly looking forward to it!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but yearn for the future.
The effects of the mature stage Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea are already so potent, how strong would it be at the peak stage?
"Oh no!"
"I actually forgot to ask Spirit Heavenly Immortal about the cultivation tips for the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree."
Ye Feng slapped his forehead.
"Oh well!"
"My cultivation level is still rapidly improving. I'll wait until I break through to the seventieth layer of the Creation Realm, then go find Spirit Heavenly Immortal to ask about this knowledge."
This was the only way Ye Feng could arrange it.
Next, he began seclusion, cultivating the many secret techniques taught by Spirit Heavenly Immortal, among which included the secret to finding cosmic weak points.
...
Seven days passed.
Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, relying on his strong perception to master many secret techniques, integrating them thoroughly, then he began to sense his state.
"The peak of the sixty-sixth layer of the Creation Realm!"
Huo Lingjiao was at the sixty-fifth layer as an Immortal Emperor; taking her into the Misty Sect could stack the same cultivation, bringing vast Void Energy into his small universe, achieving a leap in cultivation level.
"As long as I practice hard for a while, I can break through to the sixty-seventh layer of the Creation Realm; no hard practice is as fast as recruiting a strong practitioner."
Ye Feng laughed heartily.
He glanced at the still rapidly growing Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, picked a hundred thousand leaves, and divided them into a thousand wooden boxes, each containing a hundred leaves.
Whizz!
These thousand wooden boxes were placed by Ye Feng in the Elders' Hall of the Misty Sect, seen by many elders.
"Here are a hundred thousand Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves, divided into a hundred portions. At the end of the month, the top thousand sect members with the fastest cultivation level improvement can evenly divide these hundred thousand Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves."
Ye Feng's voice rang out.
Everyone was excited upon hearing this.
Ye Feng mentioned sect members, meaning not only sect disciples but also spiritual beasts, stewards, elders, supreme elders, and protectors could receive them.
"Quick, spread the news!"
As the news spread, everyone in the Misty Sect was in an uproar.
After all, it's a hundred thousand Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves!
If divided, each person would get a hundred leaves, which could be used not only for making tea to enhance perception but also to assist in comprehending laws, making breakthroughs quicker.
"Quick, cultivate diligently!"
Disciples crowded into cultivation treasure sites like the Cultivation Tower, Spirit Gathering Tower, and began seclusion within.
On a Floating Island.
Huo Lingjiao heard the news from the Elders' Hall through her Identity Token at her waist, and her eyes widened.
"A hundred thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves!"
She suddenly slapped her forehead, recalling that the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree she saw earlier had already reached a hundred zhang high, naturally having many leaves.
"Find a chance to get more Enlightenment Tea Leaves from Ye Feng; after all, he surely isn't lacking them."
Huo Lingjiao laughed secretly.
Others didn't know, but she did know that the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree was at least a hundred zhang tall now, so harvesting ten thousand leaves a day wasn't a problem.
Ye Feng is simply a top-notch tycoon!
"Really envious!"
Xia Yao strongly criticized and envied Ye Feng's extravagant hands-off approach of ten thousand tea leaves, wishing she could immediately resign from her position as the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.
In this way, she could rightfully ask Ye Feng for Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves.
...
In the small universe.
Ye Feng ignored the excitement within the sect.
At this moment, he was forming seals with his hands, using the secret techniques taught by Spirit Heavenly Immortal, and a Heavenly Eye appeared on his forehead, reflecting the nearby void, searching for cosmic weak points.
