Chapter 1922: Chapter 1922: Top-Tier Maneuvering and Lake-Side Instruction

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign still worried about one other point.

In the Void Heavenly World, everyone only has one life; if killed, they die. But in the real world, which top-ranked Immortal Emperor doesn’t have methods of self-preservation?

Just speaking of himself, he has ways to be reborn.

And the Crimson Queen certainly can too.

So, engaging in a life-and-death battle with a top-ranked Immortal Emperor who also has the potential for enlightenment and rebirth is very unwise, likely resulting in both parties being severely injured.

"Crimson Queen... Ha ha, since you ambushed me, I will find a chance to sneak attack and kill you in the Void Heavenly World, regaining first place."

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign said coldly.

The next moment, he re-entered the Void Heavenly World.

However, when the Emperor Dragon Sovereign arrived at the birth point on the Primordial Ancient Star, he found that the Crimson Queen was not there. He hurriedly searched around but still found nothing.

"Wretch, come out!"

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign looked around and roared angrily.

But, there was no response from anyone around.

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign had to grab a Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor by the collar and questioned: "Where is that wretch?"

"Which... which wretch?" The Immortal Emperor turned pale with fear, flustered and perplexed.

"Who else but that wretch?" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign said viciously.

"I’m new here, really don’t know who you’re talking about!" This Immortal Emperor was on the verge of tears.

"Damn it, die!" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign was so angry that he slapped this Immortal Emperor to death and then looked at the surrounding Immortal Emperors, scaring them into trembling.

"Run away!"

The Immortal Emperors hurriedly dissipated their bodies, returning their consciousness to their physical forms to avoid being slain by the Emperor Dragon Sovereign.

Helplessly, the Emperor Dragon Sovereign had to search on his own.

...

"Wretch, come out to die!"

In a star domain somewhere in the Void Heavenly World.

The Crimson Queen entered a secret realm, casually threw out a flying needle to kill a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level Primordial Fierce Beast, and then heard the voice of the Emperor Dragon Sovereign.

"Hehehe, fool!"

She giggled and hid in this secret realm, allowing the Emperor Dragon Sovereign to search all over the world without finding her.

Not long after, the Emperor Dragon Sovereign arrived at the entrance of this secret realm, almost entering, making the Crimson Queen realize the danger.

"Hehe, time to slip away!"

The Crimson Queen chose to leave the Void Heavenly World, her consciousness disappearing without leaving a trace.

A moment later.

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign entered this secret realm but did not find the Crimson Queen. As for the Primordial Fierce Beast she killed, it had already respawned and been reborn.

At this moment, the two faced each other, wide-eyed.

That’s just how the secret realm was set up.

Once someone kills a beast within the secret realm, after they leave, a new Primordial Fierce Beast appears to become the new boss of the secret realm.

Therefore, the Emperor Dragon Sovereign looked at the hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level tiger-shaped Primordial Fierce Beast, completely unaware that the Crimson Queen had been in this place before. Thus, he angrily killed it and continued searching for the Crimson Queen.

Crimson Star System.

In a fiery red grand hall.

The Crimson Queen stared at the people below and said:

"All of you listen carefully, immediately purchase Void Heavenly Ancient Jade, then enter the Void Heavenly World, acting as my eyes to report to me the whereabouts of the Emperor Dragon Sovereign."

"Yes."

These dozens of Immortal Emperors immediately accepted the order.

With them acting as eyes, once the Emperor Dragon Sovereign appears in the Void Heavenly World, the Crimson Queen would know his approximate coordinates and thus avoid him.

Just like that, several days passed.

No matter how the Emperor Dragon Sovereign searched, he couldn’t encounter the Crimson Queen, who played a game of tag with him, leaving him with no chance for revenge.

Before the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings.

Looking at himself ranked second, the Emperor Dragon Sovereign remembered the scene when he was ambushed by the Crimson Queen, his face turned green with anger, cursing under his breath.

"Just you wait!"

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign cursed again, choosing to enter the secret realm of the Abyss Clan elder, but even though he fought with all his might, he was still killed by a wave of law as cast by the opponent.

"Damn, a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable is this strong?"

Returning to the starting point, the Emperor Dragon Sovereign recalled the whole process of being killed by the Abyss Clan elder, realizing the huge gap between them. He had to settle for battling hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level Primordial Behemoths, creating a new top-level Law Divine Ability, temporarily ignoring the cunning Crimson Queen.

"The Void Heavenly World, marvelous indeed!"

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign found that this place was almost indistinguishable from the real world, but as one doesn’t fear death here, many divine skills inconvenient to use in the real world could be freely used here, so he quickly took this opportunity to enhance himself.

In the Twin Universe.

As more and more cultivators discovered the benefits of the Void Heavenly World, they entered it one after another, all being captivated by this virtual world and contributing their Prestige Points.

On the grassland of Misty Peak.

[Prestige Points: 750 trillion/10 trillion trillion]

Ye Feng browsed the panel for sub-task two and found that the Prestige Points target had reached 7.5%, delighted, believing he could surely complete it by the first half of next year.

He took a glance at the time.

Now, it was already New Year’s Eve.

In the Misty Holy Sect, disciples all exited the Void Heavenly World, decorating the sect with lanterns and streamers, preparing to spend a warm and joyful New Year.

"New Year’s Eve again."

"Tomorrow is the new year; it passes so quickly!"

Ye Feng muttered.

Due to the low requirement for the number of sect disciples for promotion to top-level Holy Land, Ye Feng wasn’t very eager to recruit new disciples now. However, recruiting newcomers could bring improvements in strength, something that still needed to be done.

At night.

Misty Holy Sect’s Sect Main Plaza.

Ye Feng sat in his seat, eating delicacies prepared by divine chefs like Li Jiaojiao, looking at the over one hundred thousand sect members in front of him, smiling.

"Another New Year’s Eve, this year’s time has passed exceptionally fast. As the Sect Leader, I’m very curious about how much progress you’ve made over the year?"

After saying this, he looked around.

Gong Qingqiu stood up first and said: "Report to Sect Leader, the subordinate rank has advanced ten minor realms."

"Five minor realms."

"Eight minor realms."

"Thirty minor realms."

"Twenty minor realms."

People spoke one after another, with even the least progressed advancing by five minor realms, averaging advances of ten minor realms.

Among them, those with the most improvement were the disciples newly recruited this year, the Thirteenth-generation disciples, some directly advancing from the Divine Origin Realm to the Immortal Emperor Realm, crossing multiple major realms like Void Break Realm, Quasi-Saint, Saint Entry, Saint Manifestation, Heavenly Saint, and Supreme Saint, along with several minor realms.

This improvement can be described as astonishing.

Listening to their reports, Ye Feng was very satisfied.

"Very good, your improvements are significant, but, have any of you broken into the top one hundred million of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings within the Void Heavenly World?" Ye Feng asked.

"Sect Leader, I have entered the top hundred."

The Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor stood up and said.

She had already ascended to the ninety-fifth layer of the Immortal Emperor, and with the enhanced potential from the Rebirth Pond, her foundations were solid, and her normal combat power surpassed a King’s seven stars, hence she forcefully broke into the top hundred of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings.

Currently, she is ranked thirty-seventh.

"Sect Leader, I’m at the seven-millionth rank," said a disciple at the fifty-layered Immortal Emperor level.

"I am at the thirty-millionth rank," said a twelfth-generation disciple. He is now a ten-layered Immortal Emperor, but even with a high cultivation level and combat power reaching a King’s five stars, he could only rank in the thirty-million range.

Other members also reported their rankings.

Throughout the entire Misty Holy Sect, almost everyone made it onto the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, with the lowest ranking at eight millionth. This in itself was enough to shock the world.

"I haven’t made it onto the rankings yet."

At this moment, a voice sounded.

Everyone turned towards the voice and found that it was another Supreme Elder of the Misty Holy Sect, a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor from the Flame Universe.

Luo Guanhua!

He was originally a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor from the Flame Universe, with combat power around King’s five stars, he was competing with another hundred-layered Immortal Emperor for the position of enlightenment, but was plotted against by the other, ultimately dying with regret, while his True Soul Mark was mysteriously imprinted onto a small piece of the third large Dao Stele Shard.

Later, Ye Feng resurrected Luo Guanhua through the True Soul Mark, and he successfully joined the Misty Holy Sect.

But, Luo Guanhua remained low key.

Since joining the Misty Holy Sect, he rarely showed up, and although he visited the Void Heavenly World, he neither showcased his strength nor competed for rankings.

"Elder Luo, why don’t you compete for the rankings?" Ye Feng asked.

"Sect Leader, I have been busy lately using the Rebirth Pond to enhance my own potential. I discovered that this is indeed a top-tier divine artifact. After multiple body temperings, my potential increased by more than ten times, and my foundational combat power surged by eight times, reaching King’s eight stars in normal combat power."

Luo Guanhua explained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.

Luo Guanhua was a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, and now his combat power had increased to King’s eight stars. If he were to use the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Infinite Combat Power," even if he could only exert part of the power of the first layer, his combat power could still be elevated to the nine-star pinnacle.

What does this imply?

In the entire Universe, apart from half-step Heavenly Venerables and those hundred-layered Immortal Emperors with Invincible Domain combat power, in a one-on-one situation, Luo Guanhua would practically have no rival.

The Misty Holy Sect has gained yet another strong warrior!

"Haha, excellent!" Ye Feng was very pleased and said to Luo Guanhua, "After New Year’s Eve, I will personally teach you the first layer of ’Infinite Combat Power.’ By then, you will become a true top-tier cosmic powerhouse. Remember to compete for rankings afterward, and strive to be in the top ten."

In fact, Ye Feng had an even higher ambition.

That was: to challenge for the number one spot!

The ninth-stage task’s sub-task five for the Sect Leader is for any member of the Misty Holy Sect to ascend to the top of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings and sustain it for a year. Additionally, there must be ten members in the top hundred.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your cultivation!" Luo Guanhua was delighted.

"Hmm, no need to be formal." Ye Feng raised a wine cup filled with Dragonfolk Clan medicinal wine. "Everyone, a new year is upon us. Strive to ascend the rankings! I hope you all make it into the top ten million."

"The disciple will work hard!"

"We will do our best!"

The disciples, elders, and spiritual beasts all shouted enthusiastically, full of confidence.

That night, the evening breeze was gentle.

Ye Feng had parted with the disciples and was sitting alone by the Spirit Lake, sipping Enlightenment Tea, pondering the path ahead, with a gleam in his eyes.

"What law should I create next?"

Currently, the Law of Cause and Effect was perfected and integrated into his micro universe, allowing him to break through to the eighty-sixth layer of the Creation Realm. He still needed to create fourteen new laws to reach the hundredth layer of the Creation Realm.

To break through, he needed to create laws.

But Ye Feng had no ideas at the moment.

"Forget it, I won’t think about it for now."

Ye Feng scratched his head, feeling a tingling on his scalp, a brain response from overthinking.

At this moment, the moonlight was like water.

The lake surface was shimmering with waves, like countless silver fish scales floating on the water, quite poetic.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

At this moment, a loud, deep bell rang in the sky, signaling the arrival of the new year.

[Ding! The new year has arrived. May the Sect Leader have all things go smoothly, may the Sect prosper, unlock the recruitment permission for the thirteenth-generation disciples, and reward all sect members with a New Year’s gift. Wishing you joy every day!]

This time, the system’s prompt was very timely.

Ye Feng saw flowers falling in mid-air, transforming into small gift boxes and floating toward the sect members.

"Let me see what’s inside."

Ye Feng opened the gift box and found inside a set of pristine, snow-white long robes, perfectly tailored, as if custom-made for him.

"New clothes for the new year."

Ye Feng laughed heartily and, after putting on the clothes, found that the fabric was special. It even had an extreme particle-tracking effect. Even if it were blown apart, it would quickly regroup and restore its original appearance, remaining unsullied.

"These clothes are pretty good!"

Ye Feng was quite satisfied with the system’s New Year’s gift. He took out a folding fan, gently fanning himself, enjoying the tranquility and leisure of the New Year’s moment.

The next morning.

Sect members dined together, then most immediately entered the Void Heavenly World to begin their climb in the rankings.

By the Spirit Lake.

Ye Feng and Luo Guanhua sat cross-legged on the ground facing each other, three meters apart, with the clear lake water by their side, rippling gently, the pleasant sound of water audible.

"Sect Leader, please impart your skills!"

Luo Guanhua bowed to Ye Feng.

"Hmm, next, I will teach you the first layer of the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability ’Infinite Combat Power.’ The upper limit is allowing you to achieve a tenfold increase in combat power, but whether you can reach this level depends on your own fortune."

Ye Feng said solemnly.

The second layer of the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability temporarily couldn’t be learned by anyone, even if Ye Feng personally taught them, as they lacked the necessary comprehension.

Even with the first layer, they might not be able to exert its full power.

"Rest assured, Sect Leader, I will do my best."

Luo Guanhua was very serious.

In the past, he was only a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor with a King’s five-star combat power in the Flame Universe, but now, after joining the Misty Sect, he possessed a King’s eight-star normal combat power. Now, he could even study Heavenly Venerable Divine Abilities.

Everything felt like a dream.

"Infinite Combat Power emphasizes consuming one’s own life force in exchange for combat power. For every doubling of combat power, the consumption of life force exponentially increases. Therefore, to master this divine ability, you first need to grasp the Law of Life or life-type divine abilities..."

Ye Feng explained slowly.

Luo Guanhua, sipping Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, listened to the explanation and initially learned the first layer of the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Heart of Life," followed by many life-type law divine abilities from the Misty Holy Sect before formally training in the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Infinite Combat Power," making remarkable progress.

In the Void Heavenly World.

Members of the Misty Holy Sect were continuously challenging the Immortal Emperors of other forces, gradually rising in rank.

On another side, Gong Qingqiu was busy preparing the recruitment exams for the thirteenth-generation disciples. Fortunately, with assistance from Hu Feifei, Li Wanqing, and others, everything proceeded smoothly.

At the edge of the Universe, on a desolate Ancient Star.

Xiao Fangu held a Void Heavenly Ancient Jade in his hand, contemplating whether he should also enter the Void Heavenly World.
