Chapter 275: Three Hundred Years Later

In the vast universe, a small sea-blue planet shone with extraordinary beauty. On this planet, inside a modern building, a man appearing to be in his twenties or thirties was leisurely floating in the swimming pool with his eyes closed, resting. Anyone who saw him would be surprised, as he remained completely motionless, floating on the surface of the water.

Next to the swimming pool, four beauties in various swimsuits were chatting and laughing joyfully, occasionally letting out giggles, which caused the man in the pool to frown slightly.

“My dad is absolutely stupid. It’s taken him so long yet he still hasn’t reached the Yuan Ying stage,” said a woman in a yellow swimsuit, pouting.

“Ling Er, your dad isn’t stupid. It’s because he’s too smart, so he can’t settle down to practice properly,” comforted her a woman in a red swimsuit.

“Sister Yue Er, you don’t need to comfort me. Even Qing Lang and the other two, who didn’t have any skills back then, have already reached the Yuan Ying stage. My dad is still stuck at the peak of the Jin Dan stage. If not for him, we would have left decades ago. Now he claims he’s about to make a breakthrough! I don’t know if it’s true or not. I’m too lazy to pay attention to him,” the young woman said, still pouting.

“Three hundred years—given Ye Feng’s pace of cultivation, he should be on the verge of ascending by now! I wonder what that little boy from back then has become. I really want to see him soon,” said a beautiful woman in a black swimsuit.

“Ye Feng must be very powerful by now!” added a tall Western beauty, her leopard-print swimsuit exuding a unique wild charm.

“He reached the Yuan Ying stage in just a few months. After three hundred years, I wonder what level his cultivation has reached. Given his progress, it’s not impossible for him to ascend to the heavens!” said the woman in red swimsuit matter-of-factly.

“Dare he!” The woman in black swimsuit showed a threatening expression. “If he dares to ascend to the heavens before meeting us, I guarantee I’ll make him regret it!”

“Sister Zhen Zhu, by then he’ll already be in the heavens. Where will you go to trouble him?” asked the woman in yellow swimsuit, sticking out her tongue.

“Hmph. Not to mention three hundred years—even if that kid Ye Feng practices for another three million years, he still can’t escape my grasp!” Zhen Zhu said, extending her right hand and clenching her fingers into a fist.

“Hey, Long Tian, stop pretending to be dead. Who doesn’t know you’ve been eavesdropping over there?” Pearl shouted at the young man floating in the water, eyes closed in relaxation.
“Sister Pearl, it’s not like what you’re talking about is a secret. Besides, this is my home. I got into the swimming pool first, and you guys came later. How can you blame me for eavesdropping?” Long Tian turned over in the water and defended himself with a helpless expression.
“Long Tian, I find your figure is quite nice!” Pearl said, examining him carefully, which made the other girls nearby snicker.
Long Tian quickly covered his chest. “Sister Pearl, since you’ve already set your sights on Xiao Feng, I’d better not compete. To some extent, Ye Feng is my brother. If you get him, you’ll become my sister-in-law. It’s better for us to keep our distance.”
“But I think you and Ye Feng are both great! Aren’t you going to try to win him over?” Pearl asked with a smile.
“Better not. As the eldest brother, I should know how to be humble. Although you, Sister Pearl, have an angelic face and a devilish figure—truly my favorite type—I have no intention of competing if it’s Ye Feng. But if it’s someone else, I certainly won’t hand over someone as beautiful as you to them.”
“What sweet words!” Hearing this, Pearl finally let him go.
“Brother Long!” At that moment, Qing Lang arrived with Da Sha and Xiao Liu Zi. The three of them had completely changed their appearance, with only faint traces of their former selves remaining.
“What’s the matter?” Long Tian asked indifferently.
“It’s Master Zhuge. Just now, news came from the Zhuge family—Master Zhuge has successfully reached the Yuan Ying stage,” Qing Lang explained.
“What?” When Zhuge Ling Er heard this, she was initially skeptical but soon cheered excitedly, “My silly dad has finally made it! We can go to the cultivation world now!”
The faces of the others also showed joy.
“Hmm, I understand! Everyone go back and pack your things. Since Master Zhuge has also advanced, we can leave now.” Long Tian sat up in the water. “Notify all those who have reached the Yuan Ying stage in the cultivation world to get ready within three days. In three days, we’ll meet at the teleportation array.”
Hearing Long Tian’s order, Qing Lang and the others also showed signs of excitement.

“I’ll head home first! Spend these days with my dad. We’ll meet at the teleportation array in three days,” said Zhuge Ling’er as she put on some clothes, then soared into the air. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a small black dot in the distance and disappeared.
“Finally, this day has come!” Long Yue said with a smile, shaking his head at Pearl and Kelly.
“Yes, we could have left decades ago,” Pearl replied with a smile as well.
“Ladies, pack your belongings and buy whatever you need to store. On the cultivation planet, many things won’t be available for sale!” Long Tian reminded them.
“It won’t take long to pack everything; we can just put it in storage rings. But we can take advantage of these three days to browse around and buy some supplies,” Pearl nodded in agreement.
…
Three days later, Long Tian led a group of nearly twenty people and appeared in Origin Planet in a grand procession.
“Is this Origin Planet? It’s so bustling!” Zhuge Ling’er exclaimed excitedly, looking at the lively streets.
At that moment, a bewitching woman appeared before them. She had long ice-blue hair, deep black eyes that seemed bottomless, and a fair face as perfect as an angel’s.
“Beauty…” Long Tian and Qing Lang couldn’t take their eyes off her the moment she appeared.
“Lilith, have they arrived?” A tall man appeared beside her. Seeing the men staring at Lilith like idiots, he wrapped an arm around her waist and glared at Long Tian and the others provocatively.
“Gunan, serious matters come first!” Lilith frowned slightly.
“Alright!” But Gunan still refused to let go and led Lilith forward among the group.
“You must be friends of Daofeng!” Gunan’s gaze fell on Long Tian, the one with the highest cultivation level.
“Daofeng?” Long Tian was slightly puzzled. “Do you mean Ye Feng?”
“That’s right,” Lilith nodded.
“Who are you? Where is Ye Feng?” Long Tian looked at them warily. In his opinion, if Ye Feng knew they had arrived in the cultivation world, he would definitely come to meet them.
“We’re also his friends. There’s been a small problem on his end, so he won’t be able to meet you for now,” Lilith explained.
“Why should we believe you?” Long Tian questioned.

“I’m Lilith. The one beside me is my husband, Gunan. I signed a contract with Blade Edge, and to some extent, I’m his subordinate. There’s no need for us to deceive you—given our strength, we wouldn’t even need any schemes to kill you,” said Lilith. A powerful aura instantly emanated from her, so intense that all the cultivators on Origin Planet felt it. They all turned toward its source, their eyes filled with shock.

“Alright, we believe you!” Long Tian took a deep breath to calm his shock. He hadn’t expected Ye Feng’s subordinates to be so powerful—beings who could crush him with just a flick of their fingers. “But you must tell us what exactly happened to Ye Feng.”

Lilith remained silent. Gunan beside her shook his head helplessly. “Three hundred years ago, he was trapped in a palace, and there’s been no news of him since.”

“What?” Long Tian and the others frowned immediately.

“You’re so strong—why didn’t you rescue him?” Zhuge Ling’er asked, her voice somewhat timid.

“Because we weren’t strong enough. He got trapped trying to save us,” Lilith replied coldly.

“He’s not in danger, is he?” Kaylee asked.

“He’s not in life-threatening danger, as his two pet beasts are still alive, and our contract with him is still active,” Lilith nodded.

“Are one of those pet beasts named Xiao Yu?” Long Yue asked. “Is it with you?”

“No, they went off to cultivate on their own,” Lilith shook her head. “But once the palace is reopened, we’ll send for them.”

“Let’s go. After being in this star region for three hundred years, our mission is finally over. We can go back and drink with Fat,” Gunan said, clearly pleased.

“Sorry for being late. I just settled a conflict between two sects. It took a long time to calm things down, so I rushed over right away,” Kastedio appeared before everyone at that moment.

“So handsome!” The girls’ eyes sparkled at the sight of Kastedio.

“But compared to Little Ye Feng, he’s still a bit behind,” Pearl said proudly after praising Kastedio, turning her face away.

“I’m Kastedio. Nice to meet you all,” Kastedio said with a smile, modestly addressing the girls. “Ye Feng is our boss.”

“PeaceMessenger, we should go,” Lilith said impatiently.
