Chapter 384: Everyone Gathered

Returning to the inn where he was temporarily staying, Ye Feng set up another array to conceal his presence before entering the Liuluan Hall.
The spirit of the Liuluan Hall had grown into a terrifying entity. Upon sensing Ye Feng’s arrival, a sound like a muffled thunderclap rang in his ears. “Thank you, young master. If not for you, I would never have had such an opportunity to become so powerful.”
Ye Feng smiled. “It’s because you worked hard yourself; otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to achieve such a powerful virtual treasure.”
“However, young master, I can’t acknowledge you as my master now. I must wait until you have enough strength to control the virtual treasure. Please forgive me,” the spirit explained promptly, worried that Ye Feng might blame him.
“I know that. My godfather already told me,” Ye Feng nodded. “I will train hard!”
Ye Feng slowly walked into the hall. Pearl and the others heard his footsteps and turned around.
“You finally decided to see us! After the auction, we’ve been here for half a year. If it weren’t for the entertainment items in our rings, we would have died of boredom!” Pearl started scolding him.
“I’m sorry. It’s not that I didn’t want to let you out. I was frozen for half a year, with even my consciousness trapped. If it weren’t for my special constitution, which gives me recovery abilities ten times stronger than those of ordinary half-godly warriors, I would likely be dead by now,” Ye Feng explained apologetically.
“Who’s that powerful?” Pearl was surprised. In her opinion, Ye Feng’s strength was already comparable to that of the Purple Extreme Sage, so there shouldn’t be many who could match him.
“The leader of the demon race—a mutated divine beast at the peak of true god level. His strength is indeed immense!” Ye Feng said with a bitter smile. “I might not even be able to match him right now.”
“If he finds out you’re still alive, he might come after you again, right?” With Pearl’s experience, although she didn’t know the full story, the fact that the other party had tried to kill Ye Feng meant they clearly wanted him dead.
“Probably. That’s why I plan to retreat and reach the divine realm before going out again,” Ye Feng said nonchalantly with a nod.
“William, Yi Ge,Kri, I’m really glad to see you all standing here alive!” Ye Feng walked over to these three old friends from the Judgment Squad.

“Xiao Feng, let’s discuss something,” Yi Fan said affectionately, putting his hand on Ye Feng’s shoulder and pulling him aside. He lowered his voice and said, “Could your godfather introduce me to him? I also want to find a godfather as a support…”
“What a loser, even thinking about someone else’s godfather,” Christine said, picking up another book and speaking seriously. “What if it were Ye Feng’s godmother or god sister who saved us? Would you have different thoughts then?”
“Kerry, I didn’t expect you to be interested in ‘Western Hunk’ too…” Yi Fan joked, looking at the magazine in Christine’s hands, whose cover featured a naked man wearing only white underwear.
Christine awkwardly put the book aside, her face red, not knowing where to put her hands.
This caused Pearl and the other girls to laugh.
“Can’t you two show some decency? It’s so rare to see so many beautiful women here… I can’t even remember the last time I saw beautiful women…” William said angrily, raising his fist.
“Sister Pearl, come with me for a moment. I need to talk to you privately!” Ye Feng hesitated for a while before walking over to Pearl.
“What is it? Why such secrecy?” Pearl, who was chatting happily with Long Yue and the others, looked at Ye Feng strangely. But she still followed him obediently, believing that if Ye Feng didn’t want others to hear, there must be a reason.
“It’s about the Purple Extreme Venerable…” Ye Feng pulled Pearl aside and whispered.
“What’s wrong with him?” Pearl felt a badpremonition. She could sense that what Ye Feng was about to tell her wouldn’t be good news.
“I’ll just tell you directly. The Purple Extreme Venerable has a mysterious clone technique, and each clone has the ability to think independently.” Ye Feng had to explain everything in detail. “As for his true self, he has been in seclusion all these years. The one guarding the immortal realm is just one of his clones.”
“You mean the Purple Extreme Venerable who likes me is just a clone?” Pearl was stunned. She hadn’t expected this outcome.
Ye Feng nodded helplessly. “His true self cut off all connections with the outside world while cultivating, so he has no idea about this and can’t stop it either.”
“Are you sure this isn’t just an excuse for him to dump women?” Pearl still found it hard to accept.

Ye Feng shook his head. “I’ve fought his clone, and I’ve also seen his true form in battle. I can say with certainty that they’re not the same person. Actually, after the auction, I noticed something strange about him—he wasn’t as enthusiastic toward you as before, was he? Because by then, we were already facing his true form.”
“Indeed, after the auction, he seemed much more distant.” Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Pearl also remembered it was indeed the case. “Before, he wanted to be with me all the time, unwilling to part even for a moment. But after the auction, although he remained polite, all that familiarity was gone. I thought it was because he was too busy preparing for the auction and didn’t have time for me. Now it seems like it was indeed the attitude of another person.”
“I confirmed this with him and told him I wanted to take you away, and he agreed. He said he would explain things to his clone,” Ye Feng continued.
“Have they… returned to the Immortal Realm?” Pearl hesitated for a moment before asking.
“Mm, they’ve gone back!” Ye Feng nodded. “If you want to see him, let’s set off for the Immortal Realm right away!”
“No, I just want to thank him in person. After all, he took care of me for those days.” Pearl forced a faint smile. “There’s no need to go to the Immortal Realm. If fate allows, we can thank him when we meet again in the future.”
After saying that, Pearl turned and walked over to Long Yue and the others. A faint smile appeared on her face once again, replacing the earlier disappointment.
“Sister Pearl, what were you and Ye Feng whispering about?” Zhuge Ling’er was the first to approach, eager for gossip.
“He just told me that he’s going to start cultivating and asked if we have any plans,” Pearl replied calmly.
“Ye Feng, we also want to enter your cultivation realm to train,” Long Yue said without much doubt, calling out to Ye Feng from afar.
“Sure!” Ye Feng agreed immediately. Then he turned to Yi Fan and the others and said, “William, you guys should cultivate too. The realm we’re in now is called the Demon Realm, similar to what you Europeans call hell and heaven. With your current physical strength, you can’t withstand the energy in the Demon Realm. At least you need to reach the Great Vehicle stage in the cultivation world to live there normally.”
“Is there really heaven and hell?” Yi Fan looked at Ye Feng in surprise.
“Indeed. Half a year ago, I even joined God, Satan, and others in a battle,” Ye Feng nodded.

“Have you fought against God and the others?” Kristin stared at Ye Feng with wide eyes.
“No, it was the Lord of the Demon Realm who fought me, and I lost miserably!” Ye Feng didn’t think it was anything shameful. “My current strength is slightly weaker than that of God and Satan. But after this period of seclusion, I should be able to fight them.”
“Are there any angels?” Kristin asked eagerly.
“Yes,” Ye Feng nodded.
“Ye Feng, if you get the chance, please take me to see angels. I must see them with my own eyes!” Kristin’s face showed firm determination.
“Ye Feng, are you joking?” William hesitated for a moment before asking.
“I’m not joking, William,” Ye Feng laughed. “Pearl and the others also saw them at the auction.”
“Oh, so those guys are real?” Zhuge Ling’er exclaimed in surprise. “I thought they were just doing cosplay!”
Pearl and the others looked defeated. They remembered that Zhuge Ling’er hadn’t been idle at the auction—she kept looking around here and there, never paying attention to their conversation. If she had heard it, she surely wouldn’t have missed the introduction given by the Purple Extreme Venerable about God and the others.
“Before starting my cultivation this time, I’ll prepare some secret manuals for everyone, tailored to your individual physical traits.” There were many kinds of secret manuals in Ye Feng’s “Wu Dian.” In the past, the techniques in the “Wu Dian” could never be taught to others. But now that the “Wu Dian” had been upgraded, most of the cultivation methods stored inside were not directly related to its own cultivation practices and could only serve as references for Ye Feng. So it wasn’t inappropriate to share them.
“But we already have cultivation manuals…” Pearl seemed hesitant. She and Kelly had practiced the Emei techniques, but those techniques could only be practiced up to the Mahayana stage, with no further techniques available.
“It’s okay. You guys can practice the “Xuan Nu Jue.” You can share insights with each other, and it can also complement the techniques you learned at Emei.” Ye Feng casually handed out four sets of jade slips to the four girls, which he had just carved using his mental power.
“Kristin, you big fool—you can practice this ‘Vajra Jue.’ It’s an excellent technique for physical cultivation!” Ye Feng handed out two more jade slips.
“William, Qinglang, and Lu Zhan, you three can practice this ‘War God Jue.’ It’s the best method for close combat.”

“Yi Fan and Xiao Liu, you should practice ‘Meditation Everywhere’ and ‘Handbook of Mental Power Control’. Your physiques aren’t suitable for close combat, so it’s better for you to focus on mental power techniques.”
Ye Feng finally arranged everything for everyone. “Realm Refinement, start!”
