Chapter 1907: Chapter 1907: The Ten Holy Cities and Two Kings
"Sect Master, what do you think?"
Gong Qingqiu noticed the look of disappointment on Ye Feng’s face and felt a bit uneasy.
"To be honest, the design you’ve made is quite good, covering all aspects. However, I’m not entirely satisfied with it and have come up with a new idea."
Ye Feng touched his chin and smiled.
Recently, after the system just issued the ninth phase task for the sect master, he started researching the seven sub-tasks. Since the sub-tasks must be completed sequentially over time, the first task is to create ten Holy Cities.
Therefore, Ye Feng immediately assigned this task to Gong Qingqiu, asking her to design the layout.
Gong Qingqiu worked tirelessly for a month, discarding tens of thousands of drafts, and finally came up with this plan.
Ye Feng thought the plan was pretty good.
However, he had a sudden inspiration for a new idea.
"Ah... a new idea?"
Gong Qingqiu opened her mouth in surprise, eager to know what Ye Feng’s new idea was.
"I plan to do it like this..."
Ye Feng suddenly paused, then gestured with his hands, and a splendid array of light particles converged in mid-air, forming a starry sky diagram.
To Gong Qingqiu, this star system was very unfamiliar.
"This is... the Solar System."
Ye Feng said.
The center of this star system is a Sun, with nine planets orbiting around it.
Previously, the Solar System had nine major planets.
Later, after scientific research and redefinition, the nine major planets became eight.
However, Ye Feng didn’t care about this.
He planned to develop Whitefloat City into a star system core like the Sun, with the nine surrounding satellite cities acting as nine stars, revolving around Whitefloat City.
And the Misty Sect would be in the center of Whitefloat City.
That was his idea.
As Ye Feng explained his idea, Gong Qingqiu finally understood, saying, "Sect Master, you mean to turn Whitefloat City into a star?"
"Initially, that was the idea, but now I’ve changed my mind. First, Whitefloat City will maintain its current multi-space state, but the entire area will be elevated into the sky. The surrounding nine satellite cities will exist in the form of stars."
Ye Feng explained.
Then, he paused his integration with the Law of Cause and Effect and directly provided hands-on teaching to Gong Qingqiu.
In the following days.
Ye Feng summoned the high-level officials of the City Lord’s Mansion in Whitefloat City, personally issuing orders and conducting more detailed planning to ensure the rationality of the Nine Great Holy Cities and Whitefloat City.
Mid-May, the weather was pleasant.
That day, the Shenzhou Continent suddenly trembled, and countless spiritual energies surged towards the Mystique Kingdom, attracting the attention of numerous cultivators on the Shenzhou Continent.
"Did someone from the Misty Sect break through again?"
"I don’t know, it doesn’t look like a breakthrough, it seems more like some treasure appeared."
"Let’s go, check it out."
"Aren’t you afraid of being swatted by Ye Feng?"
"Afraid of what? Ye Feng typically doesn’t act against onlookers; we’re just there to watch, not to snatch anything. He wouldn’t trouble us."
"That’s true."
Many people discussed it for a while and then quickly set off. What they saw next was astonishing.
The massive Whitefloat City began to rise from the ground into the sky, continuously absorbing the universe’s origin and gradually expanding in appearance during this process.
Rumble...
Half a day later, Whitefloat City had risen to a height of three million miles above the ground. Below it was a brown rocky substratum hemisphere, with a circular cross-section ten thousand miles in diameter, featuring mountains, lakes, and rivers.
The former Whitefloat City was situated right at the center of this hemispherical cross-section.
Countless heavenly laws surged.
With beams of brilliance intersecting, Whitefloat City was enveloped in a special light barrier, making it impenetrable even by the top-tier Immortal Emperors at the eighty-first layer.
"Why has Whitefloat City risen into the sky?"
The crowd expressed confusion.
Even those residing in Whitefloat City were bewildered, not expecting that after just a nap, they would awaken to find themselves in the high heavens.
Of course, the city’s layout remained unchanged.
After some thought, they didn’t give it much mind.
But, this was far from over.
As a large amount of heavenly origin surged from the Shenzhou Continent into the sky, nine colossal life stars, each with a diameter of ten thousand miles, gradually took shape, orbiting around Whitefloat City.
The nine stars each had different appearances.
Some stars had desert terrains on their surfaces, others were dominated by oceans, and some featured mountain ranges and hills, or vast stretches of primeval forest and grasslands.
In the high skies.
The incarnation of the Shenzhou Heavenly Dao stood beside Ye Feng, pointing at the nine brand new stars, and said, "Ye Feng, I’ve helped you create the nine stars and connected their spirit veins with Shenzhou, leaving behind nine top-tier Holy Grade Spirit Veins, which are perfect for cultivation."
"Thank you, senior." Ye Feng cupped his hands in gratitude.
Ye Feng specifically sought the help of the Shenzhou Heavenly Dao to ensure that the nine stars created and Whitefloat City elevated into the sky would remain connected with Shenzhou, preventing them from becoming an isolated small world outside of Shenzhou.
In this way, Whitefloat City and the Nine Great Saint Cities still belong to the Shenzhou Continent of this Great Thousand World.
And Shenzhou is the center of the universe nowadays.
Maintaining constant contact with Shenzhou allows the spiritual energy concentration in Whitefloat City and the Nine Great Saint Cities to be extremely high, making them more suitable for enlightenment, attracting countless cultivators to settle in.
"Shi Lei, it’s your turn."
Ye Feng looked not far away, only to see Shi Lei already standing there, ready to build the city anytime.
"Yes, Sect Master Uncle."
Shi Lei, holding the recently transformed Ma Liang’s Brush, led hundreds of sect disciples, first arriving above one of the stars, and began painting.
As the tip of the brush swept across the sky, numerous buildings appeared on the ground, fitting the terrain and landscape.
There were villas and estates, countryside cottages, seaside piers, harbor docks, mountain stilt houses...
Countless buildings rose from the ground.
Shi Lei worked tirelessly, quickly completing the construction on the surface of the first star, and then he started painting on the second star.
As for the disciples, they entered the star that was already mostly built, using the Move Mountains and Reclaim Seas Divine Ability to modify details, planting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures along the way.
Meanwhile, they were also responsible for arranging formations.
"Sect Master Ye, you really are making a grand expansion!"
A voice full of amazement rang out.
Ye Feng turned around.
Heavenly Venerable Lu, accompanied by Venerable Lu Xia, came over, both of them looking at the nine stars around Whitefloat City, guessing that Ye Feng was likely expanding Whitefloat City.
"Sect Master Ye, are you expanding the city?"
Venerable Lu Xia expressed her inner doubt.
"No," Ye Feng shook his head, "I’m constructing nine other Sacred Cities."
"Huh?"
Venerable Lu Xia and Heavenly Venerable Lu were taken aback.
Building nine Sacred Cities?
Under the Misty Sect’s command, wasn’t Whitefloat City already a Holy Land-level city? Even though it hasn’t been certified, it should suffice. The two were very curious why Ye Feng would build so many cities.
Instead, it would be better to expand Whitefloat City.
Ye Feng did not disclose the specific reasons to the two but chatted casually.
Before long, the two left.
Ye Feng continued to direct Shi Lei and numerous disciples in constructing nine stars and began thinking about how to name these nine stars in a way that was simple, formidable, and memorable.
But soon, Ye Feng gave up.
"Haha, I’m just terrible at naming things; I’d better let Elder Gong Qingqiu and the others come up with the names!"
Ye Feng stroked his chin and laughed.
Afterward, he returned to the ground, looking at a large lake here, half-smiling.
After Whitefloat City ascended into the sky, the ground naturally had a huge depression; thus, Ye Feng diverted a nearby river, bringing water into the pit, forming a lake.
"Really nostalgic."
Looking at this familiar place where he had lived for more than ten years, Ye Feng couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
"Big news, huge news!"
Not far away, someone flew over, shouting all the while.
"Ah, where’s Whitefloat City?"
"Did I come to the wrong place?"
A bald, skinny middle-aged man arrived at the lake and, seeing Ye Feng, took a deep breath in surprise.
"Greetings, Sect Master Ye!"
The bald skinny man hurriedly saluted.
"Whitefloat City ascended to the sky." Ye Feng pointed to the sky. From here, Whitefloat City and the nine satellites were separated by millions of miles, only seen as ten small dots.
"Huh?"
Learning that Whitefloat City had ascended to the sky, the bald skinny man was shocked, and after looking at the lake on the ground, he realized he hadn’t come to the wrong place. This was indeed the former site of Whitefloat City, only then did he come back to his senses.
"You just mentioned big news, so, what exactly happened?"
Ye Feng asked curiously.
The bald skinny man hurriedly said: "A special secret realm has appeared deep in the starry sky, it is said that inside there’s an ancient tree, and the fruit it bears can grant the power of destiny to cultivators, greatly increasing the probability of attaining enlightenment."
This statement made Ye Feng’s eyelids twitch.
Isn’t that the Destiny Ancient Tree?
Could it be that a passage opened between his small universe and the Twin Universe, so the Destiny Ancient Tree planted on the Super Continent was discovered?
No way!
Ye Feng’s consciousness entered the small universe, finding that it hadn’t been exposed. Could it be that the Twin Universe had birthed a mature Destiny Ancient Tree?
This piqued Ye Feng’s intense interest.
"Where is that place? And, what’s the name of that tree?"
"That tree is called the Destiny Ancient Tree, and the fruit it bears is named the Destiny Fruit. It grows on half-side of the Immortal Realm Universe, about thirty million miles away from the Phoenix Immortal Domain."
The bald skinny man quickly replied.
"Hmm, okay, thanks."
To express his gratitude, Ye Feng bestowed a Nine-Turn Profound Pill upon the bald skinny man and flew towards the Immortal Realm.
"Thank you, Sect Master Ye! Many thanks, Sect Master Ye!"
The bald skinny man was merely an Immortal Venerable, now extremely delighted to receive a Nine-Turn Profound Pill. However, he did not consume it immediately but flew to Whitefloat City to announce the appearance of the Destiny Ancient Tree.
For a while, the entire city was in upheaval.
Countless cultivators immediately flew towards the destination.
In the starry sky.
Ye Feng flew while frowning in contemplation.
"Destiny Ancient Tree!"
"How could it be this coincidental?"
"I’ve just acquired a mature Destiny Ancient Tree, although it’s yet to bear fruit, yet such a supreme treasure has emerged in the universe. However, if this tree has already borne fruit, I might as well compete for it."
Ye Feng murmured.
Though he already possessed a Destiny Ancient Tree, who would dislike having an abundance of such treasures?
If he could obtain it, he should strive to do so.
Across the universe.
Many people went berserk after learning about the emergence of the immensely precious Destiny Ancient Tree, rushing towards the destination.
"Destiny Ancient Tree? Let’s go check it out."
Venerable Lu, Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, the Necromancy Monarch and Venerable Shalu from the Conspirators’ Camp, among others, set out one after another.
Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.
"There’s a Destiny Ancient Tree outside?"
The Eternal Star God King and Venus God-King stood beneath a gigantic Destiny Ancient Tree, gazing at this tree, then towards the direction of Phoenix Immortal Domain, their faces full of surprise.
Destiny Ancient Tree, Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom possesses one.
However, it has withered for many years.
Though it can still bear fruit, it would take at least a million years to produce one fruit, and its medicinal efficacy is only one percent of the peak stage.
Consuming one can only slightly increase the Power of Destiny, enhancing the chance of enlightenment by less than one percent.
"Didn’t Lord Heavenly Venerable once say that there was only one Destiny Ancient Tree in the universe?"
Venus God-King muttered.
"Indeed, how could there be a second Destiny Ancient Tree in the universe? Shall we go check it out?"
"Uh, alright."
Currently, within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, several other Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors were guarding it; venturing out temporarily posed no risk to the kingdom.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The two tore through the void and vanished.
...
Phoenix Immortal Domain.
One of the numerous Immortal Realms managed beneath the Immortal Realm Continent.
The area is vast and sparsely populated, with over ten Immortal Emperors stationed, yet Immortal Venerables amount to tens of thousands, not considered weak.
Presently, many have arrived at Phoenix Immortal Domain.
Their purpose is to seek the Destiny Ancient Tree.
"Fellow Taoists, there’s no need to hurry. That secret realm opens once every period, estimating the next opening will require a wait of three more days."
A cultivator shouted.
Just then, a handsome figure made a dazzling entrance.
"It’s Sect Master Ye!"
"He actually came too?"
"Oh my God!"
People from major forces were utterly shocked.
"Sect Master Ye, weren’t you not planning to compete for an enlightenment slot? Why have you come?"
Many grew anxious and fearful.
"I’ve come to join the excitement." Ye Feng smiled.
"Oh..."
Everyone showed an expression full of deeper meaning, believing Ye Feng wouldn’t simply be here to watch; if the Destiny Ancient Tree truly appeared, he would likely take action.
"You’re Ye Feng?"
Suddenly, a domineering voice echoed from afar.
Ye Feng and everyone immediately looked towards it.
In the sky.
Hundreds of figures gradually descended, each clad in Dragon Scale Armor and at the Eighty-first-layered Immortal Emperor level.
Behind them were nine True Dragons, each with a cultivation level reaching the Eighty-fifth-layered Immortal Emperor level, collectively pulling a giant chariot.
Through the bead curtain at the door, Ye Feng could see a burly man seated inside, appearing to be about two meters tall even while seated, vibrant as a dragon and tiger.
[Name: Emperor Dragon Sovereign]
[Grade: Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor]
[Description: An ancient strongman, hidden in the True Dragon Realm, despite breaking through the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, is suppressing his cultivation, currently displaying only the Ninety-six-layered Immortal Emperor level]
[Remarks: Combat strength very formidable]
Ye Feng instantly perceived the opponent’s information.
"Hmm?"
"Actually a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor?"
"Furthermore, what does it mean by very formidable combat strength? Could it be that Emperor Dragon Sovereign isn’t just an ordinary Invincible Supreme, does his strength exceed that?"
Ye Feng continued pondering.
At this moment, Emperor Dragon Sovereign stood up, revealing a height of a full three meters, brimming with robust muscles, akin to a humanoid tyrannosaurus.
Thud, thud, thud!
Emperor Dragon Sovereign paced steadily, casually lifted the bead curtain, standing at the edge of the chariot.
"It’s Emperor Dragon Sovereign!"
"In the previous battle, even with his cultivation suppressed to Eighty-layered Immortal Emperor, he managed to sweep through numerous powerful figures, truly impressive. Seems like one of the three enlightenment slots this era is surely his."
Someone exclaimed.
Currently, Ye Feng and Emperor Dragon Sovereign exchanged glances from afar, the former’s gaze calm, the latter’s domineering.
"Oh, a fight unfolding?"
At this moment, an alluring voice rang out.
Ye Feng and the others looked over, seeing an alluring woman in a blood-red dress approaching, her attire resembling a cheongsam, with a slit up to her waist revealing her long, round legs.
At this sight, the crowd drooled.
"It’s the Crimson Queen."
"Rumor has it she’s also an Invincible Supreme, one of the enlightenment slots this era is surely hers as well?"
"So beautiful, so enchanting."
"If possible, I’d rather die for her!"
Numerous cultivators murmured continuously.
"Oh, you’d be willing to die for me?"
The Crimson Queen looked at those speaking, revealing a seductive smile, then stuck out her tongue.
Puff!
Those who expressed they’d die for the Crimson Queen, over thirty-layered Immortal Emperors, instantly turned to dust.
The rest were utterly terrified.
"What a wickedly seductive woman!"
Ye Feng thought to himself.
[Name: Crimson Queen]
[Grade: Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor]
[Description: A top-notch hidden figure from the Crimson Star System, Invincible Supreme-level combat strength, having numerous Dual Cultivation Companions, male and female, seductive and sinister personality, likes to toy with beings; suppressing herself, revealing only Ninety-five-layered cultivation level]
[Remarks: Combat strength very formidable]
Seeing this, Ye Feng was taken aback once more.
Both the Crimson Queen and Emperor Dragon Sovereign turned out to be Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level Invincible Supremes, and their combat strength seemed beyond ordinary Invincible Supremes.
Arguably, they were the current contenders for the enlightenment slots.
Even Ye Feng felt pressured.
Their combat strength could surpass the Nine Great God Kings of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom; even now, Ye Feng had no absolute guarantee.
Of course, he could exhaust them to submission.
If truly fighting, even though Ye Feng was only Eighty-five-layered Immortal Emperor level, he wouldn’t fear them.
"Crimson Queen, you’re still as wicked as ever."
Emperor Dragon Sovereign spoke.
"Oh, I’m nothing compared to you, still as domineering as ever! I wonder if your majestic meter-high physique, if we dual-cultivate, would make me feel ecstatic yet weary to the bone?" Crimson Queen teasingly smiled.
"Get lost!" Emperor Dragon Sovereign snorted coldly.
He and the Crimson Queen had been old rivals, well aware that anyone dual-cultivating with the Crimson Queen wouldn’t survive.
This woman was even more ruthless than him.
Ye Feng stood aside, choosing silence.
Less trouble is better than more trouble.
Though not fearing the Crimson Queen or Emperor Dragon Sovereign, his primary goal here was the Destiny Ancient Tree, unwilling to stir unnecessary trouble, attracting mighty enemies to Misty Sect.
"Bah!"
Crimson Queen found no interest in speaking with Emperor Dragon Sovereign, instead, she looked towards Ye Feng, slowly walking his way, reaching out her smooth, delicate right hand, attempting to lift Ye Feng’s chin.
The crowd witnessed this, eyes wide open.
Even Emperor Dragon Sovereign watched intently, believing an exciting show was about to unfold.
