Chapter 1902: Chapter 1902: Star Ascension Celebration, System Settlement
"Breaking news!"
"The Misty Sect will hold a Holy Land-level Ascension Ceremony in seven days. Fellow Daoists, are you going to attend?"
"Attend? I would like to, but can we even go to the Misty Sect’s Ascension Ceremony?"
"Uh, that’s true."
The news sparked endless discussions among the people.
Some tried to attend the Ascension Ceremony but suddenly realized they hadn’t received an invitation, causing immense disappointment.
...
In the distant Black Prison.
Xiao Fangu was observing the Black Prison Demonic Beasts here.
Suddenly, he learned that the Misty Sect was being promoted to a Holy Land, and Shu Hongyu returned to the sect, becoming the 17th First Generation Disciple. His face immediately fell.
The current Xiao Fangu was just a different entity, seized and fused by a strong figure from the Abyss Clan of the Cosmic Sea, not the previous Xiao Fangu. Yet, he inherited all of the previous Xiao Fangu’s memories and identity.
He deeply hated Ye Feng.
Now, hearing about Shu Hongyu’s return to the Misty Sect, he felt even more indignant and started cursing.
"One day, I will destroy the Misty Sect!"
Xiao Fangu roared in his heart.
...
In another distant part of the starry sky.
Feng Chuan and the Peerless Beauty were still gathering materials, but they were still missing some.
"It’s almost done, just a little more."
"Once all the materials are gathered, and the Body-Snatching Great Array is forged, even if Ye Feng can be reborn continuously, it won’t matter. I will choose to adopt the divine soul fusion method, directly merging with him into a whole new lifeform."
"Moreover, I will be the dominant mind."
"By then, I will live on as Ye Feng, then find the perfect opportunity to directly enter the Floating Ancient Tree and open the cosmic passage."
Feng Chuan planned with a sinister grin.
Kill Ye Feng?
He felt he couldn’t do it.
Ye Feng was too uncanny, almost impossible to kill.
Therefore, he chose to merge with Ye Feng as an alternative form of body-snatching, allowing the fusion body to possess the combined memories of both individuals. However, the dominant thinking of the body would still be led by Feng Chuan himself.
After all, his cultivation level far exceeded Ye Feng’s.
His divine soul abilities were also above Ye Feng’s.
Body-snatching would naturally be easy.
"Master, you will definitely succeed."
The Peerless Beauty beside him cheered him on.
"Relax, we will."
Feng Chuan gave a sly smile, looked at the stunningly beautiful and curvaceous Peerless Beauty, couldn’t help but lick his lips, then pulled her into the room to start dual cultivation.
...
Misty Sect.
Ye Feng sat in his seat, arranging for Gong Qingqiu and others to make the invitations and distribute them as quickly as possible, aiming to complete the invitations within three days.
The Ancient Dragon Court, Lingtian Pavilion...
The majority of the top forces in the universe received invitations from the Misty Sect’s Ye Feng.
Immortal Realm Continent, Lingtian Pavilion.
The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian sat under the big tree in front of the Daoist Temple, with his five direct disciples sitting in front of him, opened the invitation personally sent by Mo Ying, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Rest assured, the Lingtian Pavilion will definitely be there."
The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian gave a definite answer.
"Thank you for your support. Our Misty Sect will be honored by the presence of the Lingtian Emperor and the members of the Lingtian Pavilion." Mo Ying cupped her hands and then left.
Her tasks were heavy.
In just three days, she needed to run through half the universe, delivering invitations to various major forces.
Shenzhou Continent, Ancient Dragon Court.
Heavenly Venerable Lu received the invitation and said to Venerable Lu Xia, the Nine Rings Saber Emperor, and others around him, "We must attend the Misty Sect’s Ascension Ceremony."
"Yes."
The crowd responded in unison.
Across the universe.
The forces with the Thirty-four Layer Immortal Emperor and above all received invitations. Meanwhile, on the Shenzhou Continent, the requirements to attend the Ascension Ceremony were significantly lowered; any force with an Immortal Emperor could participate.
For a time, Whitefloat City was bustling with noise.
"Hurry, expand Whitefloat City!"
Gong Qingqiu found Shi Lei and gave the order.
"Don’t worry, Elder Gong, I will do it."
Shi Lei immediately took out Ma Liang’s Brush and drew various pavilions and towers at the fastest speed, creating new Minor Heavenly Worlds.
From the outside, Whitefloat City didn’t seem large.
But once inside, you’d often find hills, each topped with identical white jade archways.
Those were the entrances to the Minor Heavenly Worlds.
Each Minor Heavenly World spanned tens of thousands of miles, with various terrains and landscapes inside, including mountains, rivers, deserts, rainforests, and oceans.
Furthermore, there were various buildings.
In just one day, the actual size of Whitefloat City expanded more than a hundredfold, with no issue accommodating countless billions of people at the same time.
"Wow, Whitefloat City is really big."
A person was walking inside Whitefloat City and discovered that each archway represented a Minor Heavenly World, and the worlds were interconnected.
Thus, this space seemed very special.
From the outside, it appeared only tens of thousands of miles wide, but once inside, it seemed like an infinite and boundless continent.
Inside Misty Sect.
Li Wanqing was setting up the venue and, with Ye Feng’s help, added a massive spatial formation to the Sect Main Plaza, making it appear from above as only ten miles in diameter, but upon entering, it spanned a hundred thousand miles.
What concept is this?
The Misty Sect’s Sect Main Plaza alone could accommodate several life stars similar to the Blue Planet, allowing trillions of people to stand on the ground simultaneously.
As time went by.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Ye Feng sat on the central throne of the Sect Main Plaza, watching the cultivators as they entered.
"Ancient Dragon Court has arrived!"
"Divine Sword Continent has arrived!"
"Conspirators’ Camp has arrived!"
"Lingtian Pavilion has arrived!"
"Green Destiny Immortal Hall has arrived!"
Teams from the universe’s top forces, led by Heavenly Venerable Lu, Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, Necromancy Monarch, Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, and Green Destiny Immortal Emperor, made their entrance.
All major forces from the Shenzhou Continent also entered.
The entire Sect Main Plaza was filled with more than three hundred billion cultivators.
"What, so many people came?"
Li Jiaojiao was stunned while cooking in the back kitchen.
Fortunately, the Misty Sect now had as many as ten thousand disciples specializing in cooking, who quickly released clones to cook delicious dishes in time.
Stewed Chicken, Sesame Fish Balls, Dragon and Phoenix Legs, Fried Tofu Balls, Heart-Changing Squid, Phoenix Tail Goldfish, Wine-Flavored Pepper-Salt Knuckles, Agate Ginkgo, Pear Knuckle Soup, Arhat Noodles in Broth, Honey Glazed Jujube, Cream Soup Fresh Walnut, Dragon Eye Phoenix Liver, Cream Soup Silver Lung, Coral Golden Hooks...
Various dishes, all available.
Li Jiaojiao and other disciples from the back kitchen were all energized, cooking their specialties. Together, the number of different dish names reached over ten thousand.
Shi Lei and others were also busy.
To facilitate serving, Gong Qingqiu summoned a hundred thousand young and graceful women from the City Lord’s Mansion of Whitefloat City, responsible for bringing various dishes from the back kitchen.
At the seats.
Watching the dishes being served continuously, cultivators from different areas discovered that their soups were infused with various top-tier Immortal Elixirs, immediately stimulating their appetite.
"Oh my god, there’s also an Immortal Fruit Platter!"
The Misty Sect’s Great Pan Peach Tree had grown a hundredfold compared to before, and the off-season Pan Peaches were now ripe, all picked, sliced, and arranged with other immortal fruits, causing guests to continuously swallow their saliva.
"Being able to attend the Misty Sect’s banquet, I can boast about it for a lifetime after returning."
One Immortal Emperor chuckled.
Some people recorded everything on the scene, sealed it in a memory crystal, and planned to share it with their friends and family after returning.
At noon, the auspicious hour has arrived.
Ye Feng looked towards the sky with a face full of anticipation.
A Holy Land, at the final moment of its promotion, requires the Heavenly Dao of the world to bestow a plaque, just like when rising from a one-star to a five-star sect, requiring the addition of a special star mark on the sect’s plaque.
The other guests also looked up at the sky.
They saw a magnificent cloud appear, gradually transforming into a golden character "Holy," imprinted on the plaque of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall at the summit of Misty Peak.
The three characters "Misty Sect" there also turned into the golden "Misty Holy Sect" at this moment.
"Congratulations on Misty Sect’s promotion to a Holy Land. From today onward, Misty Sect is renamed Misty Holy Sect, the first Holy Land on Shenzhou Continent from ancient times to today."
The voice of Shenzhou Heavenly Dao was heard.
The Ancient Dragon Court is a top-ranked Holy Land, but it had only relocated from outside and strictly speaking, is not considered a native force of Shenzhou Continent.
The Misty Holy Sect is truly the first native sect of Shenzhou.
"Congratulations to Misty Holy Sect!"
"Congratulations to Sect Master Ye."
The guests present raised their glasses in unison to congratulate, drinking the improved Dragonfolk medicinal wine, enjoying the delicious dishes on the table, and feeling very happy.
Some people with slightly lower cultivation levels broke through on the spot and overcame their tribulations because they ate the cuisine of Misty Sect.
"Today, the Heavenly Tribulation does not appear!"
Shenzhou Heavenly Dao spoke, causing the tribulation shrouding everyone to dissipate directly, allowing those who broke through not to continue facing the tribulation and to begin consolidating their cultivation levels.
"Thank you, Shenzhou Heavenly Dao!"
Many cultivators quickly expressed their gratitude.
To this, Shenzhou Heavenly Dao merely nodded as a sign of acknowledgment.
The sect’s star ascension celebration continued.
In the square.
Ye Feng and his disciples were very happy, and the guests invited were also full of smiles, the atmosphere was harmonious.
In the depths of the starry sky.
Feng Chuan had just finished dual cultivation with a peerless beauty, gazed at Ye Feng on the sect master’s throne from afar, with a flash of fierce killing intent deep in his pupils.
"You can be complacent for now!"
"Once I prepare the Body-Snatching Great Array, I will surely replace you, and then, Misty Sect will be mine, and the entire universe too will be mine."
"Ku ku ku..."
Feng Chuan’s sinister laughter continued.
He changed his mind.
When he opens the cosmic passage and contacts the Elder of the Abyss Clan, he will temporarily not destroy the Twin Universe under the pretense that the peerless beauty is an Invincible Supreme, but instead have the peerless beauty prove the Dao as a Heavenly Venerable of the universe.
Should the Elder disagree, he would then escape back to the Twin Universe, seal off the exit and entrance, and wait for the peerless beauty to prove the Dao.
Or, he could prove the Dao himself!
"Once I’ve taken over Ye Feng’s body, my combat power will surely surpass that of ordinary Invincible Supremes, and then, couldn’t I prove the Dao myself in the Twin Universe?"
"Ku ku, how wonderful this is!"
The more Feng Chuan thought about it, the more pleased he became.
...
Misty Holy Sect, Sect Main Plaza.
By now, the celebration had lasted for three full days and nights, and although the food was eaten up, and the drinks were finished, people from various forces were reluctant to leave.
"Come, let’s duel again!"
Two prodigies were sparring in the Sect Main Plaza.
They were from different forces, and both had just broken through to the Immortal Venerable Realm, had solid foundations, with masters who were Immortal Emperor Level with forty layers backing them.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of weapons clashing was endless.
The two prodigies battled evenly, their skills matching, making it hard to determine the winner for a while.
Outside the fighting ring.
Ye Feng, alongside Heavenly Emperor Lingtian and others, was commenting on the battle, with everyone around listening carefully.
"This battle is hard to determine the winner."
Ye Feng said.
He could see that these two were equally matched in strength and were both Immortal Venerables, it would take at least ten days or half a month to decide the winner in a real battle.
After a while.
The two prodigies finished their battle.
"Very good, both of you showed great performances in the sparring just now, but there are also deficiencies, mainly reflected in the following six points..."
Ye Feng carried out a critique.
He sharply pointed out the flaws of these two prodigies, helping them to make up for their shortcomings, causing both of them to feel excited and grateful, bowing one after another to express their thanks.
"These are gifts for you."
Ye Feng casually tossed two Nine-Turn Profound Pills, each landing in the hand of a prodigy.
"Wow, it’s a Nine-Turn Profound Pill!"
"Participating in sparring can even earn rewards?"
Other prodigies from different forces stood up one after another, trying to get on stage to spar and win rewards for themselves.
Soon, the sparring started again.
Everyone who stepped on the stage was either of strong combat power or exceptional talent. Mediocre individuals would only waste time and become a laughing stock if they got on stage.
Everyone understood this well.
For those who dared to spar on stage, either possessed a top-level Divine Body or Sacred Body, or had combat power reaching Five-Star King level or higher.
And Ye Feng was also generous.
Anyone who sparred on stage would receive personal guidance from him, and if he felt good or the person looked pleasing to him, he would casually reward them with a Nine-Turn Profound Pill.
This made everyone envious.
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
This star ascension celebration officially ended.
"Everyone, you’re welcome to come again next time."
Ye Feng waved to everyone.
"Definitely, definitely."
People from various forces nodded, gradually leaving Misty Holy Sect. Some opted to stay in Whitefloat City for a while, while others met native Shenzhou Continent cultivators and planned to travel around here.
Time passed by little by little.
By the end of February.
Ye Feng was lying on a rocking chair enjoying the cool air, holding an ancient book, and continuously releasing the Law of Cause and Effect throughout the universe, cultivating new laws.
As of today, the number of strands of the Law of Cause and Effect has increased to more than a thousand.
At this rate, it could exceed ten thousand within March.
[Ding, system settlement completed!]
Just as Ye Feng wanted to take a nap, he suddenly heard the system’s voice, quickly sat up straight, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
[Congratulations on Misty Sect’s promotion to a Holy Land!]
[Misty Sect is officially renamed Misty Holy Sect.]
[Sect Master Eighth Phase Task: The Path to Sanctuary is now settled, with 100% completion, finished much ahead of time, reward doubled!]
[Congratulations to the Sect Master for receiving rewards.]
[The final rewards are as follows: Fragment of the Heart of Wisdom ×1, Fragment of the Time Codex ×1, Spatial Codex Fragment ×1, Top-Grade Immortal Emperor Weapon ×10, Top-tier Holy Grade Spirit Vein ×10, Top-tier Law Divine Abilities ×10, Mature Destiny Ancient Tree ×1, Lucky Bag ×100.]
[Please Sect Master claim your rewards.]
Seeing this, Ye Feng found the rewards weren’t right; they were much more plentiful than before. To confirm, he quickly reviewed the previous task rewards.
[Task rewards: Fragment of the Heart of Wisdom ×1, Fragment of the Time Codex ×1, Spatial Codex Fragment ×1, Sacred Arms ×10, Holy Grade Spirit Vein ×1, Law Divine Ability ×1, Destiny Ancient Tree ×1, Random Reward Lucky Bag ×5 (including but not limited to the above rewards)]
This was the final reward given by the system when the eighth phase task was issued.
But now, the rewards were evidently greater.
"Is this what’s called a reward doubled?"
"Previously, there were five Lucky Bags, now it directly increased to a whole hundred, simply terrifying!"
"Mature Destiny Ancient Tree?! What’s this treasure, can it compare to the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree?"
Ye Feng was very curious.
So, he began to claim the rewards.
