Chapter 1777: Chapter 1777: Cooperation, Debts Settled

"Yao Yue, why have you come?"

Ye Feng furrowed his brow slightly, remembering that he hadn’t invited her, yet she had come of her own accord.

"I came because I smelled something delicious."

Yao Yue smiled slightly, glancing at the top-ranked Immortal Emperors present, causing their faces to turn stiff and their hearts to tremble with fear, feeling as though they were sitting on pins and needles.

In the eyes of the crowd, Yao Yue, who could defeat the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor with one move, was at least a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor; whether she was even stronger, they were uncertain.

However, no matter how one looked at it, they believed Yao Yue possessed the power to obliterate them.

Therefore, they held great reverence for Yao Yue.

"Since you’re here, have a seat then!"

Ye Feng beckoned Yao Yue over.

"Nonsense, how could I not sit? Furthermore, I’m going to eat to my heart’s content!" Yao Yue plopped down beside Ye Feng, looking at the large plate of fish before her, and couldn’t help but lick her rosy lips.

Seeing this, Ye Feng was speechless.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, "A guest is a guest. Welcome, fellow Daoist Yao Yue. Now, let the Immortal Fruit Banquet officially begin. Let’s eat!"

With that said, Ye Feng took a bite of the Great Pan Peach first.

The guests exchanged glances. Though they feared Yao Yue, Ye Feng’s calmness put them at ease, so they began to eat and drink as expected.

At the table.

Yao Yue stared at the braised Cosmic Sea fish meat before her, picking up a piece with her hand, first smelling it, then taking a bite, savoring the flavor.

"Hmm, delicious!"

Yao Yue looked enchanted.

As a lifeform transformed from cosmic consciousness, she was familiar with things from the Cosmic Sea. Just one mouthful of pure energy tilapia from the Cosmic Sea soothed her entire body, as if she had returned to her mother’s embrace.

Such an experience was rare.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Ignoring the strange looks from others, she picked up braised fish pieces with both hands and kept eating.

"Ahem!"

Ye Feng cleared his throat, ignored Yao Yue, and waved to the guests like Heavenly Venerable Lu, signaling them not to be afraid and to eat.

The crowd relaxed.

It seemed Yao Yue was indeed here to eat, not to cause trouble.

An hour later.

The guests, full and satisfied, glanced at Yao Yue who was still eating fish and then cupped their hands to bid Ye Feng farewell.

"Fellow Daoists, until next time!"

Ye Feng did not urge them to stay.

He knew that Heavenly Venerable Lu and the others feared Yao Yue, eager to leave, so if he insisted on them staying, it would only make things awkward.

Moments later.

All the guests had left.

At the seats.

Yao Yue was still eating heartily. Looking at her flat, taut belly, it appeared like a universe capable of consuming countless things.

"Are you full yet?"

Ye Feng sat beside Yao Yue and asked.

"Not yet!" Yao Yue shook her head, "You know very well that a mere fifty-layered Immortal Emperor-level Cosmic Sea tilapia is nowhere near enough to fill me up."

"Indeed, it’s not." Ye Feng shook his head.

"Unfortunately, I can’t locate the third large Dao Stele shard, making it very difficult to head to the Cosmic Sea through the spatial transference array you envisioned. Otherwise, I’d catch more Cosmic Sea fish to eat for sure," Yao Yue sighed.

"Aren’t you slacking off?" Ye Feng asked, surprised.

"Slacking off? You’re the one slacking! I’ve been researching the second large Dao Stele shard, trying to locate the third shard but failing completely, which means one thing: the shard isn’t in the Twin Universe!"

Yao Yue said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was quite surprised.

He had always thought Yao Yue was slacking off, not searching for the third large Dao Stele shard, but now it seemed he had judged her unfairly.

"Coincidentally, I have clues about the third large Dao Stele shard," Ye Feng said smiling.

"Really?" Yao Yue was very surprised.

Ye Feng nodded and recounted Lan Ling’er’s exploration process in the Cosmic Sea, as well as parts of his own Enlightenment Divine Traversal experience.

He chose to hide the knowledge about the Invincible Old Man.

After all, it’s best to keep the fact of his exceptionally strong talent to himself; revealing it could spell trouble.

"Turns out there’s a Demonic Clan in the Cosmic Sea, and their nest contains a Dao Stele shard."

Yao Yue was shocked upon learning the whole story.

This was an important piece of information.

"Well then, do you have any interest in collaboration?"

Ye Feng proactively sought cooperation.

This woman was nearly a half-step Heavenly Venerable, a top-tier strong figure, and collaborating with her could save much effort.

"How would we go about collaborating?"

"Right now, we can’t physically leave the Twin Universe, only Lan Ling’er can. So, my plan is to repair and strengthen the Origin Sword Formation. You, being the Master of the Eternal Sand Universe, should have a way to do that."

Ye Feng shared his idea.

Yao Yue’s gaze sharpened, "You mean, using the power of the Eternal Sand Universe to enhance your Origin Sword Formation, and then have Lan Ling’er invade the Demonic Clan’s nest to retrieve the Dao Stele shard?"

Ye Feng nodded, "Exactly."

"If what you say is true and there indeed is a Dao Stele shard in the Demonic Clan’s nest, once it’s in hand, I can use it to determine the coordinates of the third large Dao Stele shard."

Yao Yue provided this answer.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng smiled.

That’s exactly the response he had hoped for.

"Now that the Immortal Fruit Banquet is over, let’s go first to the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom to meet the top-ranked refinement Grandmaster that Xia Yao knows and have him help strengthen the Origin Sword Formation. If he can’t do it, I’ll come to you next."

Ye Feng added.

"Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom?!" Yao Yue was startled, then broke into a sly smile, "Had you not mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom still owes me five hundred-layered Immortal Emperor weapons. Come on, let’s go collect the debt right away."

"Yes, let’s set off!"

Ye Feng nodded, calling on Xia Yao, Hu Feifei, Huo Lingjiao, and others, and then soared into the sky.

Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

In a grand, ancient hall.

The Eternal Star God King and several Supreme Divine Kings at the hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level received Yao Yue with respect, presenting the five recently forged hundred-layered Immortal Emperor weapons.

"Haha, all mine now!"

Yao Yue waved her large sleeve, grabbed the five Immortal Emperor weapons, examined them briefly, then nodded satisfactorily, casually refining them, and strengthening herself.

Her power increased further.

"Fellow Daoist Yao Yue, now that we’ve repaid the debt, please stick to your promise not to harm our cultivators entering the Eternal Sand Universe from the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom."

The Eternal Star God King spoke with resignation.

"Relax, I will keep my word." Yao Yue nodded lightly, looking at Ye Feng, "I’ll return to the Eternal Sand Universe first, come find me when you need help."

"Alright." Ye Feng nodded.

The Eternal Star God King beside them didn’t know what Ye Feng and Yao Yue were discussing, nor dared to ask. Once Yao Yue left, he asked, "Sect Master Ye, why have you come as well? Could there be something you need?"

After finishing, he glanced at Xia Yao beside Ye Feng.

"I heard from Xia Yao that your Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom has a top-ranked refinement Grandmaster skilled in strengthening and repairing sword formations, am I correct?" Ye Feng inquired.
