Chapter 743: Two Conditions

The Hongmeng Secret Realms are classified into four levels, from lowest to highest: Beginner, Elite, Death, and Legendary. Only those with great strength from higher primary planes, whose power has been condensed within them, are qualified to enter the Death-level Hongmeng Secret Realms. Those who venture inside are usually strong warriors at levels 7 to 10. Even at the core area, warriors at level 10 can perish there.

Ye Feng was confident enough to say he wanted to go as well. Although his current cultivation level was that of a level 6 warrior, his actual strength was comparable to that of a level 9 warrior. Entering such a secret realm wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

However, this Dark Abyss was far more dangerous than ordinary Death-level Hongmeng Secret Realms—it was almost on par with a Legendary-level realm. Most importantly, it was located in the Meteor River, where a large number of foreign demons would enter to compete. Unlike battles in other secret realms, fights against demons were almost always life-or-death struggles. Thus, warriors below level 9 generally wouldn’t dare to enter the Dark Abyss, as it was practically suicide.

Hearing that Ye Feng also wanted to go, Immortal was momentarily stunned. He rolled his eyes before smiling and saying, “It’s not impossible for you to go. But… there are conditions!”

“What conditions?” Ye Feng asked, raising his brows.

“Two choices. One: Before the realm opens, reach the strength of a level 9 warrior, with your divine powers integrated to above level 100. The second: Integrate your divine powers to above level 150. As long as one of these conditions is met, I’ll agree to take you in.”

Ye Feng frowned upon hearing this. He thought to himself, “I can’t consider the first condition for now. My universe inside me has just been upgraded and isn’t yet stable. Rushing further upgrades might affect the foundation of my cultivation. That would be inappropriate. As for the second condition, though demanding, it shouldn’t be too hard for me. I have the Void Domain, where I can obtain most divine powers for free to refine. Plus, I have the Heavenly Dao Stele, with its privileges for comprehension and bestowed powers!”

“What? Not confident enough?” Immortal smirked slightly.

“No major problem. I’ll choose the second option first,” Ye Feng said confidently, nodding. “As for improving my cultivation level, it’s not urgent. If there’s time later, I’ll work on it. When does the realm open?”

“If I’m not mistaken, it should be by the end of this month, at the latest by next month. If things go fast, it might take just over ten days. But among my most powerful treasures, there’s a time acceleration effect ten trillion times greater, so there’s plenty of time for you to train. Before the secret realm opens, I’ll come to check on your progress. If it meets my standards, I’ll take you in.”

“Dad, can I bring others in to train using your most powerful treasure?” Ye Feng looked at Immortal with anticipation.

“Of course,” Immortal nodded in agreement. “If your friends also meet the requirements, they can enter the secret realm as well.”

With Xuehai, Luoyan, Jinwen, and Ye Feng, Immortal quickly placed them inside one of his most powerful treasures.

Without wasting time, Ye Feng sat cross-legged immediately and sent his spiritual energy into the Void Realm.

“Free access to divine powers!” Dozens of different divine powers appeared in Ye Feng’s ring.

“Heavenly comprehension privileges activated, along with supreme bestowal rights!” Ye Feng then activated these privileges and without hesitation, incorporated those divine powers into his mind sea, sending his spiritual energy along with them. His soul swallowed those divine powers and then sat in front of the spiritual talismans within his mind sea. The swallowed divine powers were rapidly digested and began to merge with the other powers already in Ye Feng’s body at a visibly fast pace.

After using up all sixty heavenly comprehension privileges, only fourteen supreme bestowal rights remained. Ye Feng finally succeeded in merging all sixty minor divine powers, raising the overall level of his combined powers to 155.

Minor divine powers were different from the already merged major powers, such as the seven elemental major powers. Merging them would directly raise the level by nine, and one major power contained nine minor powers. However, each time a minor power from the seven elemental powers was merged, it only raised the level by one. This was why, despite merging sixty powers, Ye Feng had only risen by sixty levels.

Although he had met Immortal’s requirements, Ye Feng still seemed dissatisfied. Without the help of the comprehension privileges, his speed of merging and comprehending wasn’t much faster.

Just then, Ye Feng noticed that the Void Realm had completed the refinement of those eleven peak treasures. After all, more than half a year had passed, and the Void Realm’s speed of refining peak treasures had also increased.

The completeness of the Void Realm finally reached 155%, an additional 20% increase.

“The completion rate has increased by 20%. Please choose a privilege reward!”
“Convert 27 of them into Comprehension Privileges, and the other 13 into Bestowal Privileges!” Ye Feng made his decision quickly, as he still had 14 Bestowal Privileges left from before. With this exchange, the number of Comprehension Privileges and Bestowal Privileges he could use rose to 27 in total.
“Reward two: Upgrade all weapons and armor in the host’s body to the Peak Divine Treasure level.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the voice from the Virtual Realm projection sounded again, “If you devour more Peak Divine Treasures, there won’t be much further improvement. The maximum limit is around 60%.”
“What about items from the External Realm?” Ye Feng asked.
“Take them out and show me,” the Virtual Realm projection seemed unsure as well.
Ye Feng then took out the weapons and armor from the External Realm that the Blood Sea Gang had collected for him.
“This aura… is completely different from this world…” The Virtual Realm projection’s eyes lit up as it viewed them. “Smelting these items should be more difficult, but it should still be possible to raise their completion rate to a high level.”
“Then I’ll leave it all to you,” Ye Feng said, throwing all those External Realm treasures into the Virtual Realm.
“After devouring these items, I guess only by devouring the strongest Divine Treasures can I see any further improvement,” the Virtual Realm projection said after a brief silence.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get those strongest Divine Treasures,” Ye Feng said with full confidence.
The Virtual Realm refined all of Ye Feng’s equipment into Peak Divine Treasures before falling silent once again.
Ye Feng sat down once more, activating his Comprehension Privileges and Bestowal Privileges, and continued to delve into the Heavenly Dao runes.
Dozens of days passed, and the 27 privileges were finally used up. Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. “My Fusion Divine Art has finally reached level 177…”
