Chapter 711: Brothers Gather Together
After months of effort, Ye Feng finally filled all seven small universes within his body with various species. To advance to the level of a medium-sized universe, two things were required: sufficient strength for both his body and soul, and strong enough cultivation levels among the beings in those small universes.
Yet now, Ye Feng had officially become a third-level powerhouse. Whether in terms of cultivation level or the strength of his body and soul, his current focus was on integrating greater divine powers. However, without any sudden enlightenment or divine blessings to accelerate this process, he decided to put it on hold for now.
Although several months had passed, the Void Realm had not yet finished devouring and digesting those precious treasures. At this point, it had consumed less than one-tenth of them.
On the other hand, Luo Yan’s blood corpses had all been created. But due to Ye Feng’s improved cultivation level, both Luo Yan and Jin Wen entered a state of seclusion again.
Ye Feng left the Refinement Realm alone. He knew well that he was not yet capable of ascending to a higher plane, as only higher-level primary planes contained numerous precious treasures that the Void Realm could devour to restore itself. Before reaching such a plane, he must first repair the Void Realm.
After arriving in the true realm of a higher-level primary plane, Ye Feng did almost nothing but exterminate the Shangguan family. His understanding of this realm was practically zero, and he had no idea which secret realms might help him obtain a large number of precious treasures.
His first thought was to seek Wu Kuang for information about this realm, as he had ascended here earlier than Ye Feng.
Closing his eyes, Ye Feng slowly sensed the pull of his bloodline. Two familiar sensations came from the same direction. Opening his eyes, he asked, “Has my elder brother also ascended?”
Through several spatial translocations, it took Ye Feng less than half a cup of tea’s time to arrive at their location. After all, he was no longer the same as before—his cultivation level had soared from merely breaking through the True Realm to that of a third-level powerhouse with a small universe, representing a tens of thousands-fold improvement. Although usually, a fourth-level powerhouse with a medium-sized universe would be a hundred times stronger than a third-level one, Ye Feng had no doubt that his own strength was on par with that of a fourth-level powerhouse.
Ye Feng stood outside a palace. He could clearly sense that Nian Cangsheng and Wu Kuang were both inside. To his surprise, this palace was actually a peak-level True Treasure. Even the strongest warriors at the pinnacle of the True Truth Realm would not be able to completely destroy a palace of this caliber. However, for Ye Feng now, even the most powerful True Treasures were nothing but child’s play—he could easily twist such a palace into a knot with his bare hands. His soul power could also effortlessly penetrate a palace of this nature, allowing him to see everything clearly.
After confirming that the two were not in a deep meditation state, Ye Feng used his soul power to send a message inside, “Elder brother, second brother, open the door! I’m here!”
When this voice reached their ears, both were stunned before exchanging glances.
“Second brother, am I having hallucinations?” Nian Cangsheng asked.
“I was just about to ask you the same thing,” Wu Kuang replied, eyes wide as he stared at Nian Cangsheng.
“I can guarantee it’s definitely not a hallucination,” Ye Feng’s voice came through again.
Standing at the door, Ye Feng naturally saw their reactions and couldn’t help but laugh.
The palace doors slowly opened, and Ye Feng strolled in leisurely, admiring everything around.
“How did you get a palace of peak-level True Treasure status?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask. Although he had obtained some peak-level True Treasures and two ultimate True Treasures when destroying the Shangguan family, none of them were palaces. Otherwise, with his cultivation level at that time, if those people had hidden inside the palaces, he would have been utterly helpless.
“This was given to me by our father after we ascended to this higher main plane,” Nian Cangsheng said with a smile. “Since neither my brother nor I had the strength to protect ourselves, our father gave me a peak-level True Treasure in the form of a palace. As for my brother, he was given a peak-level True Treasure for teleportation. Both of these treasures have a time acceleration function ten million times faster. Our father also gave us many pills to boost our cultivation, so that we could train together before going out to explore once we reached theTrue Realm Realm.”
“Speaking of which, I’m more concerned about your cultivation level, third brother,” Wu Kuang said, showing his battle-loving nature once again. After realizing Ye Feng’s astonishing strength, he couldn’t resist the urge to challenge him.
“Come on, my third brother had already reached the Break Truth Realm when he was in the Void Realm. Still, he should be able to improve further now; otherwise, how could he havefind out the conditions inside the Peak True Treasure? Has he already formed a small universe within his body and reached the level of a first-tier powerhouse?” Nian Cangsheng had met Ye Feng back in the Void Realm, so he naturally knew that Ye Feng had already reached the peak of the Break Truth Realm. However, he also knew that this level wasn’t sufficient to transmit soul power through a Peak True Treasure.
“Mm, a small universe has indeed been formed,” Ye Feng nodded, but didn’t answer whether he was a first-tier powerhouse, only smiling.
“Could he have reached the level of a second-tier powerhouse?” Wu Kuang wanted to get a clear answer.
“Uh, third-tier powerhouse. It might still take some time to form a medium-sized universe,” Ye Feng couldn’t withstand his relentless questioning, knowing that if he didn’t speak, Wu Kuang would go crazy.
“So, it’s not far off from forming a medium-sized universe?” Wu Kuang was clearly very concerned about Ye Feng’s true cultivation level.
“The strength of the body and soul is an obstacle, but it’s not a major issue. The rest depends on the cultivation level and number of powerhouses within the body, which can’t be rushed,” Ye Feng nodded.
“It seems that after the last realm blessing and epiphany, you’ve had another opportunity,” Nian Cangsheng said with envy.
Ye Feng just smiled without saying anything, but he also noticed their cultivation levels. “Brother Eldest and Brother Second have only ascended for a short time, right? Your cultivation progress is fast too—both of you have already reached the peak of the Manifest Truth Realm.”
“We already had the cultivation level of entering the Truth Realm when we ascended. With this Peak True Treasure, we’ve been taking pills at an accelerated rate of 100 million times normal. It’s only now that we’ve reached the peak of the Manifest Truth Realm. But the conditions for constructing the third realm are still far from being met. We’ll need to stay here for hundreds or even thousands of years to complete it…” Wu Kuang was clearly dissatisfied with this way of improving cultivation, as he always believed in improving strength through fighting rather than taking pills.
Nian Cangsheng, on the other hand, took a more natural approach—improve if possible, and if not, focus on refining pills or crafting weapons and armor.
“Actually, what bothers us the most isn’t that our cultivation methods don’t suit us, but being confined…” Nian Cangsheng complained, “Our father has placed restrictions on these two Peak True Treasures. We can’t leave until we reach theTrue Realm Realm.”
“Oh, there’s such a thing too?” Ye Feng looked around after hearing this. Only then did he realize that there indeed were special restrictions at the entrance to this Palace of Peak Treasures. In fact, he could break these restrictions with some effort, but for the safety of the two of them, Ye Feng didn’t mention it. Otherwise, they would surely ask him to help remove the restrictions. “Fortunately, my cultivation level is high enough; otherwise, I would have been trapped here with you too.”
“Third brother, we’re both stuck in a cultivation bottleneck right now and really don’t have any mood to train. Could you get us something delicious to eat to lift our spirits?” Nian Cangsheng plopped down on the ground. “Our mouths are almost numb from hunger.”
“It would be even better if there’s some good wine,” Wu Kuang also demanded rudely, influenced by Nian Cangsheng.
“Hmm, no problem. I’ll go look and be back soon,” Ye Feng nodded. “But big brother, you’d better set the time here to one to one for now. Otherwise, while I’m away for a while, who knows how long you’ll have to wait in there.”
With the two of them staring at him with envy, Ye Feng strode out of the palace gate.
Once outside, he used his spiritual power to scan the forest. After taking in the surroundings, he frowned slightly. “Why would Dad put this palace in such a place? With a cultivation level at the Truth-Praising Realm, it’s impossible to safely leave this forest… Could it be that Dad did this on purpose?”
