Chapter 508: Changes in Cent City

Over a month passed, and Ye Feng and his companions’ airship finally arrived in Cent City. The three magical beasts that controlled the airship transmitted a message to Jin through a contract, and Jin finally woke up from his seclusion. His mastery of the laws was still at the peak of the fifth level, with a sense that he could break through at any moment—only opportunity was lacking. As a master who had reached the fifth level of law mastery, he was already able to form contracts with powerful magical beasts at the eighth level within the Tower of Myriad Beasts. With a thousand-fold time acceleration, he revoked the contracts with the previous three beasts and formed new contracts with three beasts at the eighth level of law mastery. In this Tower of Myriad Beasts, any beast that had reached the eighth level of law mastery had mastered the corresponding laws, making them hardly inferior to those at the ninth level who had not mastered such laws.

Ye Feng had also perfected two more earth-related laws to the minor perfection stage, achieving minor perfection in seven laws. His Sky-Ripping Finger Technique and Ice Heart Art had reached the early seventh level, while his Thunderous Movement Style and Hundred-Forged Vajra Body had reached the early eighth level. His gravity space mastery remained at the fifth level, and another technique called “Absolute Defense,” used in conjunction with defensive laws, had reached the fourth level. Ye Feng was now eager to obtain an earth-based clone. Having mastered three earth-related laws, he feared that relying solely on his original body would slow his progress compared to others, which was not what he wanted. However, since all exchange privileges were now gone, he had to find another way to obtain an earth-based law clone.

Bai Yiyi was still in seclusion, having reached the most critical stage toward achieving minor perfection. Naturally, Ye Feng and the others did not disturb her.

As for Shi Tou, his mastery of the laws was still at the early seventh level. He had just broken through a major level, and further progress would likely require time and effort.

When Shi Tou appeared in Cent City behind Ye Feng, it happened to be the peak period for house purchases. Some masters at the third or fourth level of law mastery could sense Shi Tou’s formidable strength. Shi Tou was not shy about hiding his own level of law mastery. Ye Feng paid no attention to this; after all, many already knew his mastery had reached the minor perfection stage. With Shi Tou by his side, there was no need for him to hide, and he could even deter some scoundrels.

However, he did not expect that news of his minor perfection-level law mastery had already become known to many powerful beings.

The moment he stepped into Cent City, he doubted he had entered the right city—the noise level was even higher than during the auction. “What’s going on here?”
“It’s even busier than during the auction a few months ago!” Jin naturally understood what Ye Feng meant. The three magical beasts behind him, whose mastery of the laws had reached the eighth level, hid their abilities and followed him obediently.
Shi Tou was as usual, carrying a stick and looking around. However, with just a slight sense of energy detection, he found that aside from himself and the others, the highest level of mastery over the laws in the city was only at the fourth layer, and there were only a few people at that level, which failed to arouse his interest.
Ye Feng also led everyone back to the city lord’s mansion. Inside, aside from Long Tian, Zi Jin, You Ming, and Mo Luo were all there. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Long Tian was merely an alternate avatar of Long Tian himself, with strength only half that of the original. Yet even so, it was sufficient to defend against external threats.
After asking Zi Jin and the other three beasts, he learned that not long after he left, Long Tian approached them, left behind an avatar, and then went into seclusion.
When the avatar learned of Ye Feng’s return, Long Tian finally ended his seclusion and emerged from that realm of cultivation.
The moment he saw Long Tian, Ye Feng sensed that Long Tian had also practiced the earth-based defense law and another fire-based law, though Ye Feng wasn’t sure what it was. With three laws at a minor completion stage, no one else in the divine realm could compare to Ye Feng. Only someone who, like Ye Feng, had learned from the Heavenly Dao could match him in the speed of law cultivation. Long Tian’s cultivation had also reached the peak of the Ancestral God level.
Xiao Bei and Xiao Yu finally reached the peak of the Imperial God level. Under Long Tian’s guidance, they began to grasp the laws. Xiao Bei mastered the earth-based Law of Sand and the water-based Law of Sealing, while Xiao Yu mastered the fire-based Law of Annihilation and the wind-based Law of Cutting. Their mastery of the laws had just reached the second layer, and they were still in seclusion.
Zhen Zhu and the others had also nearly reached the level of the Primary God, with Xiao Liu and Yi Fan even reaching the level of the Imperial God and joining the ranks of the strong, ensuring they wouldn’t be easily bullied in the divine realm.
Qing Wen made the greatest progress, not only reaching the peak of the Ancestral God level but also mastering the earth-based defense law and the Law of Sand, advancing both laws to the third layer. He was still in seclusion.

What pleased Ye Feng the most was that in the inheritance memories of Xiao Bei, Xiao Yu, and Qing Wen, there were corresponding codes, and they all practiced cultivation. Without disturbing everyone’s cultivation any further, Ye Feng quietly withdrew his mental energy from the refining realm. “You’re finally back,” Long Tian said, his face filled with helplessness. He glanced at Jin in a somewhat peculiar manner. With his cultivation at the early stage of perfection in the laws realm, he could naturally sense Jin’s current level of cultivation as well as the strength of those three powerful individuals behind him. “But your mission…” “The mission is completed, and even exceeded expectations,” Ye Feng said, looking at Jin. “Hello, Brother Long. I’m Jin!” Jin introduced himself. Shi Tuo’s formidable aura also caught Long Tian’s attention. He was curious about how humans could possess such a powerful aura that surpassed even that of magical beasts. After asking around, he found out that this guy was actually the third most terrifying existence on the list of fierce beasts. “Hello, Brother Long.” Knowing that Long Tian and the others were Ye Feng’s close friends, Shi Tuo was naturally very polite. “There’s also Bai Yiyi, a master of the soul laws who is currently breaking through to the early stage of perfection, so I didn’t let her come out,” Ye Feng explained. “Soul laws? Approaching perfection?” Long Tian was immediately surprised. “How did you subdue such a strong person? I doubt I could even compete with her.” “I have treasures in my body that can suppress souls. As you know, such strong people are exactly those I can control,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “By the way, I don’t know why, but there have been many more strong people coming to Sent City lately. And quite a few of them are buying houses.” Long Tian looked at Ye Feng curiously, wanting to know what big move Ye Feng had made to attract these people. But seeing Ye Feng looking at him with a puzzled expression, he became even more confused.
