Chapter 682: Ye Feng with “Void Void Realm Cultivation Level”
After learning from Qing Tian that there was an invaluable treasure hidden within him, Ye Feng delved into the six miniature universes within his body. The Cosmic Tree on top of them was already laden with fruits—this was the result of the blessings bestowed by the primary universe last time. If he relied solely on self-practice, it was uncertain when the Cosmic Tree would sprout again.
He then sent his soul into the Void Realm. “Void Realm, if I use my exchange privilege to obtain living beings, do those beings retain their original cosmic contracts?”
A distant voice from the Void Realm replied, “No. The beings you obtain are essentially created by the Void Realm; everything about them is blank, with no cosmic contracts. Why do you ask?”
“I’m thinking about whether I can bring some inhabitants into the universes within my body…” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“The conditions for immigration seem quite strict, though I’m not entirely sure about the specifics,” the Void Realm replied, not believing Ye Feng’s method would work.
“Let’s give it a try,” Ye Feng said, then used his free acquisition privilege. “Give me a mouse first…”
“Using the free acquisition privilege to obtain one mouse…”
Grasping the mouse in his hand, Ye Feng appeared inside one of the six miniature universes within his body. He picked a fruit from the Cosmic Tree and fed it to the mouse.
A moment later, a beam of white light flashed in the sky and illuminated the mouse. In the blink of an eye, the light disappeared. Soon after, a loud roar echoed throughout the universe. The miniature universe, whose size had remained unchanged for a long time, began to expand rapidly.
A message flashed through Ye Feng’s mind—this was a faint signal sent by the miniature universe, roughly meaning that life had emerged within it, and the universe had evolved.
With this information, Ye Feng became even more convinced of his judgment. He sent his soul’s power back into the Void Realm. “In the First Realm, are there any organisms that can produce oxygen? Ones that are easy to nurture!”
“After searching, there are two main types of organisms that can produce oxygen: plants and animals with plant-like functions. Their food consists of soil and minerals,” the Void Realm replied quickly.
“I want animals! Give me 100 million of them!”
“There are 28 species of animals with such functions. Do you need them all?”
“One hundred million of each!” Ye Feng said as he brought all those plant-like creatures into the universe. The reason for such a large number was that for every fruit on the Universe Tree consumed, another would grow, making it inexhaustible. With a wave of his hand, millions of fruits fell, and those plant-like creatures, under Ye Feng’s command, picked them up and ate them. It took several hours for over two billion creatures to become the original inhabitants. Afterwards, Ye Feng used the same method to settle similar creatures in several other universes. In the Absolute Martial Ark, he spent over a month turning these creatures into hundreds of millions, dispersing them across various habitable planets. Most of these creatures fed on soil and minerals, making them easy to raise. Ye Feng also noticed that the miniature universe within him was expanding rapidly without pause. “In just over a month, these hundreds of planets already have a thin atmosphere. It should take about half a year before some organisms with strong survival abilities can settle there.” During this time, Ye Feng wasn’t idle either; he used his powers to continuously transform these planets, creating rivers, seas, mountains, and more. He increasingly felt like a creator, constantly producing his masterpieces. Six miniature universes, totaling over 900 planets, were transformed one by one. Half a year passed quickly. This time, Ye Feng focused less on quantity and more on species diversity. He acquired hundreds of thousands of species, with each species numbering only in the tens of thousands, all capable of surviving in harsh environments. He even considered the integrity of the food chain and made corresponding arrangements. From birds, fish, insects to various beasts, and even creatures with intelligence nearly on par with humans, a complete ecosystem was formed. After nearly a decade of operation, when the ecosystem was almost perfect, Ye Feng finally considered whether to introduce organisms from the second realm into his miniature universe. The second realm of the Void Realm was the Cultivation Realm. Ye Feng wasn’t sure if he could transform a cultivator into a swordmaster and have that swordmaster eat the fruits of the Universe Tree. A beam of white light descended from the sky, enveloping the swordmaster before dissipating after a long while. Almost simultaneously, the entire universe trembled again, with lightning and thunder roaring in the sky.
Another message appeared in Ye Feng’s mind: “Warning! Advanced energy beings! The number of immigrants must not exceed one thousand! This being’s energy has reached the limit of the universe’s capacity; no beings with greater cultivation levels can immigrate!” This message was exceptionally clear this time, causing Ye Feng to feel slightly nervous. He was even worried that his reckless actions might collapse the miniature universes within him.
That sword cultivator was at the peak of the Mahayana stage; just one more step, and he would become an immortal. This was also part of Ye Feng’s testing, but he unexpectedly reached the limit right away. Ye Feng immediately realized that his current miniature universes were not capable of supporting immortals.
He then brought out over nine hundred different cultivators from the void realm, most of whom were at the Mahayana level. After having them eat the universe fruits and giving them some instructions, he sent them away.
Ye Feng also noticed that the expansion of his six miniature universes had started accelerating again, more than ten times faster than before. He realized that it must be the presence of those cultivators that stimulated the evolution of the universes. He began to suspect that given enough time, his universes might eventually be able to support species with higher energy levels.
The changes in the six miniature universes finally stabilized, and Ye Feng exited them. The moment he left, the Tower of Heaven reached out to him.
“Young master, what exactly have you done? Why was the restriction on the third layer of the tower lifted?” Qing Tian was puzzled. “Logically, your cultivation level needs to reach the Tianxu stage to lift that restriction!”
“Hehe, what’s the Tianxu stage? There are already intelligent beings in my universes—so they must be at the Dongxu stage!” Although he said this, Ye Feng knew that despite having intelligent beings, his six miniature universes were far inferior to true Dongxu-level beings in terms of size, stability, and the completeness of their ecosystems. These issues would improve over time. At least for now, his universes were constantly expanding, and their stability was increasing day by day. One day, they would reach the level of true Dongxu-level beings. As for the ecosystems, Ye Feng would take time to improve them gradually.
“Young master, do you want to open the third layer of the tower?” Qing Tian asked. “And don’t forget, the second layer hasn’t been opened either.”
“Hmm, let’s go take a look!” Ye Feng nodded and left the Absolute Martial Ark…
In the second layer, what is stored are star universes—unformed miniature universes and those that are 100% formed but devoid of life. In fact, star universes are akin to embryonic miniature universes, and the entire process from embryo to full formation is stored in this layer. There are zero star universes in this layer, eight miniature universes that are not 100% formed, and twenty-one miniature universes that are already 100% formed.
After pushing open the door, Ye Feng sensed a vibration in the primal universe within him, which immediately began to accelerate its rotation—its speed increasing by nearly 300 times compared to before, and its volume expanding at a visibly rapid pace. Seeing this change, Ye Feng’s heartbeat also quickened slightly.
After calming himself down a bit, Ye Feng pushed open the door to the third layer. In this layer, there were a total of 56 miniature universes that harbored life. The moment Ye Feng opened the door, he sensed the evolution of the six miniature universes within him accelerating once again.
He could clearly feel that his strength was growing with every passing second…
Leaving the Tower of Heaven, Ye Feng returned to the Absolute Martial Ark. Once the door of the Tower of Heaven was opened, it connected to Ye Feng’s dantian. Even if the door was closed and he left the tower, this connection remained unaffected in the slightest.
Ye Feng planned to stay in the Absolute Martial Ark until the competition began…
