Chapter 1962: Chapter 1962: Silver Spirit Talisman, Supporting the Ancient Sky Tribe

Inside the underground palace.

Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing sat side by side on the ground, looking at a silver spirit talisman suspended in midair.

This was left behind after Emperor Liang’s death.

"This item is how he could withstand the powerful sword qi of the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor, so what grade of treasure is it exactly?"

Xue Rongqing looked at the spirit talisman with curiosity.

"Let me see." Ye Feng directly opened the Eye of Insight to examine the information of the spirit talisman.

[Name: Silver Spirit Talisman]

[Grade: Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Level]

[Description: A spirit talisman blessed by an ancient Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, containing an ancient top-ranked cultivation technique with strong defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding most attacks below Half-Step Heavenly Venerable level without breaking]

[Note: A legacy item]

Upon seeing this, Ye Feng let out an "Oh".

"Sect Leader, have you figured out anything?" Xue Rongqing was very curious about the origin of the spirit talisman.

"I’ve figured it out. This is a Silver Spirit Talisman blessed by a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable. It contains an ancient top-grade cultivation technique and is considered a legacy treasure."

Ye Feng explained.

"So it’s a legacy treasure and was blessed by a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable. No wonder Emperor Liang could easily block a sword from the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor."

Xue Rongqing was slightly surprised.

But soon, she lost interest.

With her Moon Holy Body, she cultivates with techniques that perfectly match her own nature and is not concerned with other cultivators’ top-grade techniques, merely curious.

"Come, let’s do dual cultivation."

Ye Feng suddenly spoke, and Xue Rongqing blinked, her face full of surprise which then turned into delight.

"I need to enter an Enlightenment state, quickly analyze the top-grade technique within the Silver Spirit Talisman, and modify it to become another top-grade technique of our Misty Holy Sect to cultivate strong practitioners."

Ye Feng expressed his thoughts.

"Sect Leader, I understand!"

Xue Rongqing leaned near Ye Feng’s ear, intentionally drawing out her voice, then quickly formed a seal with her ten fingers, condensing a drop of Moon’s True Essence, leaving her body soft and weak.

Ye Feng bestowed a drop of compressed pure Chaos Universe Origin to Xue Rongqing, who swiftly sat cross-legged in place to refine it, making up for her losses while also accelerating her cultivation progress and boosting her cultivation level.

"Begin the analysis!"

Ye Feng absorbed the Moon’s True Essence, quickly entering an Enlightenment state, scanning the Silver Spirit Talisman with his Divine Sense to access the ancient top-grade cultivation technique inscribed inside.

This cultivation technique is named "Original Luo Ancient Scripture".

After cultivating, it can enhance one’s foundation, keep one youthful, and gradually boost combat power until becoming a top-ranked powerhouse.

However, this technique has limits.

That limit is: Nine-star Pinnacle for a King.

Once combat power reaches this level, the potential of the technique is fully developed. Further cultivation can still strengthen the foundation, but one’s combat power will be stuck at the Nine-star Pinnacle for a King, challenging to improve.

"There is a limit, not very effective."

Ye Feng thought to himself.

When cultivating "Original Luo Ancient Scripture", it is necessary to refine various top-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the universe to enhance foundation, ultimately aiming to increase combat power.

Therefore, the cost of cultivating this technique is enormous.

Moreover, difficult to break its limit.

To break the limit, it must be modified.

"I think I’ve found a way."

Ye Feng patted his head, deciding to add the low-grade Enlightenment Flower from his Minor Universe to the material library of "Original Luo Ancient Scripture", intending to break its combat power limit.

To enter the Invincible Domain, the soul must be strong.

And the low-grade Enlightenment Flower has the effect of strengthening the soul; though not much, it is indeed effective.

With that, Ye Feng began deducing.

Besides adding the low-grade Enlightenment Flower, he also deduced that several other top-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures needed to be added, including a certain amount of Chaos Universe Origin.

Half a day later.

Ye Feng deduced an enhanced version of the "Original Luo Ancient Scripture". Cultivating according to it can further enhance one’s foundation while strengthening combat power along the way.

With sufficient opportunities, there is hope to enter the Invincible Domain.

Of course!

Compared with the "Nine Heavens Profound Art" by Mysterious God, Emperor Liang’s "Original Luo Ancient Scripture" still falls short in many aspects. These two techniques are not even in the same league.

The "Nine Heavens Profound Art" requires reincarnation nine times, with each reincarnation significantly multiplying one’s combat power, which increases one star-level with each reincarnation. With endless reincarnation, it is possible to break limits and enter the Invincible Domain.

Before cultivating the "Nine Heavens Profound Art", as long as the combat power reaches about Three Stars for a King, after nine reincarnations, combat power must step into the Invincible Domain.

So, this technique is quite perverse.

Of course, the cultivation difficulty is very high.

Not every cultivator of the "Nine Heavens Profound Art" can successfully reincarnate nine times, as each reincarnation requires special conditions.

If the conditions are not met, reincarnation is naturally impossible.

As for the "Original Luo Ancient Scripture", although it has been improved by Ye Feng, after cultivation, there is also hope to break the conventional limit and become an Invincible Supreme.

But, the hope is very slim.

The top-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures mentioned in the technique are simply not something ordinary powerhouses can gather.

"Done!"

Ye Feng wrote the improved "Original Luo Ancient Scripture" into a blank book, and then wrote down his cultivation insights beside it for the disciples to understand.

Currently, the Misty Holy Sect members have high comprehension.

Even with top-grade techniques like "Nine Heavens Profound Art" and "Original Luo Ancient Scripture", because of Ye Feng’s improvement and annotation, sect members can understand and cultivate them without obstacles.

Then, Ye Feng put away the silver spirit talisman.

This item was blessed by a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable and is considered a good defensive supreme treasure, which can be stored in the Misty Holy Sect’s treasury for a destined person to use.

Suddenly, Ye Feng recalled something.

Both the Nine-Star Alchemy Furnace and Refining Furnace have obtained Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Level Cosmic Origin Energy Crystals, and it wouldn’t be long before they both break through the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level.

By then, as long as there are enough materials, they could forge top-notch elixirs and supreme treasures.

This would significantly boost the strength of sect members.

"Currently, I’ve completed four of the ninth-phase tasks of the Sect Leader, the next task five is to climb to the top of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings. Now, Gong Qingqiu, Mo Ying, and others are in seclusion. After coming out, they should all be Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors, and with the supreme treasures forged by the Refining Furnace, they should surely have the strength to compete in the rankings."

"Then, it’s on to task six."

Sub-task five requires any member of the Misty Holy Sect to top the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings and maintain it for a year.

In addition, the number in the top hundred must reach ten.

In Ye Feng’s view, this is not difficult.

But task six is truly the most challenging.

[Task Six: The Struggle for Enlightenment]

[Details: Please participate in the struggle for enlightenment as Sect Leader or any other member of the Misty Sect, and confirm the Dao, becoming a powerful being beyond Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level.]

[Half-Step Heavenly Venerable: 0/10]

[Quasi-Heavenly Venerable: 0/3]

This is task six’s target.

Ten Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, three Quasi-Heavenly Venerables.

Anyone who hears this task requirement will be astounded, followed by a cold gasp.

In a lower-rank universe, a million years is a small cycle, which can give rise to a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

In a middle-rank universe, tens of millions to over a billion years are considered a great cycle that can give rise to a rare and powerful Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

And in a superior universe, one Origin Era is called a grand cycle, which can spawn a True Heavenly Venerable.

The current task six requires the Misty Holy Sect to spawn ten Half-Step Heavenly Venerables and three Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, which is tantamount to sending disciples into ten lower-rank universes and three middle-rank universes to confirm the Dao.

"No matter how difficult the task, it must be faced seriously."

Ye Feng said.

Now, the most important thing is to complete task five.

This challenge is not that great.

"Now that I’ve come to the Flame Universe, I should support a major clan to achieve the goal of controlling the entire Flame Universe from the shadows."

"Therefore, I should support the Ancient Sky Tribe!"

The Ancient Sky Tribe believes in the prophecy of the Moon Heavenly Venerable and has already honored Moon Holy Body Xue Rongqing as their Saint Ancestor, following her orders wholly, so controlling them is nearly effortless.

With Xue Rongqing, the Ancient Sky Tribe can be controlled.

And if the Ancient Sky Tribe is strong enough, it can sweep through the eight directions and unify the Flame Universe.

I will become the biggest winner.

"Sect Leader, the Chaos Universe Origin is truly sweet."

Just then, Xue Rongqing finished secluding herself, not only replenishing her own depletion but also using the Chaos Universe Origin to enhance her cultivation level, not far from breaking through.

"As sweet as it is, not sweeter than your mouth."

Ye Feng chuckled.

"You’re so annoying!" Xue Rongqing said coquettishly, habitually wrapping her arms around Ye Feng’s shoulders.

"Qingqing, I plan to unify the Flame Universe."

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

"I plan to covertly support the Ancient Sky Tribe, and since you are now the Saint Ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe, I will have you come forward. And I will remain behind the scenes."

"I understand!"

Xue Rongqing was very clever, instantly understanding Ye Feng’s intention to cultivate the Ancient Sky Tribe through her and then use this local power to unify the universe.

"With you manipulating from behind the scenes, Sect Leader, the Flame Universe, which is merely of lower cosmic grade, will undoubtedly be perfectly controlled by you, becoming a backyard garden for the sect."

Xue Rongqing chuckled lightly.

"Let’s hope so!" Ye Feng nodded.

Half a day later.

Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing sat beneath the Dao Stele.

The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe and all Immortal Emperors of eighty-one layers and above gathered here, eagerly watching Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing, not knowing why they were summoned, as if there was something important to announce.

"These are Enlightenment Pills."

Xue Rongqing took out ten treasured bottles.

Each bottle contained ten Enlightenment Pills, totaling a hundred pills, enough to significantly boost the cultivation level of the top-ranked Immortal Emperors of the Ancient Sky Tribe before them.

"This is a vial of Chaos Universe Origin."

Xue Rongqing took out another jade vial.

The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe and the others were dumbfounded, not understanding why Xue Rongqing presented these treasures.

"I have decided to personally support the development and growth of the Ancient Sky Tribe until you completely unify the Flame Universe. These treasures are for you to refine."

Xue Rongqing began to explain.

She followed Ye Feng’s instructions, explaining the effects of the Enlightenment Pills and the Chaos Universe Origin, causing the ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe and others to gasp in amazement.

"An Enlightenment Pill can help an Immortal Emperor break through a minor realm? Such a miraculous elixir exists in this world? This is truly enlightening!"

The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, that’s correct." Xue Rongqing nodded, "However, refining the Enlightenment Pills requires considerable time. You can use the Chaos Universe Origin during the refining process to accelerate your enlightenment."

"Understood!"

The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe and others immediately expressed their gratitude.

They believed that with these hundred Enlightenment Pills and a vial of Chaos Universe Origin, they would surely be able to cultivate several hundred-layered Immortal Emperors for the Ancient Sky Tribe in the short term.

By then, unifying the Flame Universe would be easy.

However, the ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe still had some concerns.

"Saint Ancestor, although the treasures you bestowed are of high quality and can give rise to several hundred-layered Immortal Emperors in our tribe, our combat strength is still lacking. We do not have the absolute strength to truly overpower the other powerful tribes."

The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe voiced his concerns.

"No worries, take this." Xue Rongqing tossed over Emperor Liang’s Silver Spirit Talisman.

This was under Ye Feng’s advice.

"Saint Ancestor, what is this?" The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe caught the Silver Spirit Talisman, first in a daze, then realizing it was the mysterious treasure that once blocked his lethal attack.

"Your combat strength is not strong enough, but after merging with this Silver Spirit Talisman, your combat strength will soar to the nine-star pinnacle of a King, enough to sweep across various realms."

Xue Rongqing said slowly.

This was also under Ye Feng’s advice.

As long as he acted secretly, allowing the ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe to merge with the Silver Spirit Talisman, it would cause both his defensive capabilities and combat strength to surge to the nine-star pinnacle of a King.

"This... a gift for me?"

The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe took a deep breath, feeling as if joy had fallen from the heavens.

"Yes, it’s for you." Xue Rongqing nodded, "Later, others will be dismissed first to refine the Enlightenment Pills and the Chaos Universe Origin, while you stay here. I will personally assist you in merging with the Silver Spirit Talisman, making your combat strength skyrocket."

"Thank you, Saint Ancestor!"

The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe knelt on one knee.

Those around cast envious glances but since they could not stay long, they had to take the Enlightenment Pills and the Chaos Universe Origin and leave the underground palace.

A moment later.

In the vast center of the underground palace, only Ye Feng, Xue Rongqing, and the ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe remained.

"Please, Saint Ancestor, grant me this opportunity."

The ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe remained kneeling on the ground, his hands overlapped in front and supporting his forehead.

"Alright."

Xue Rongqing nodded and looked at Ye Feng.

"No worries, watch me." Ye Feng directly unleashed the Cosmic Force, completely sealing the underground palace, shielding it from external perceptions, and then stopped hiding his strength.

In an instant.

A terrifying pressure that made the ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe tremble erupted, pinning him to the ground.

"You...you!"

Only then did the ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe realize, with shock, that Ye Feng, possessing only eighty-eight layers of Immortal Emperor cultivation, could easily suppress him, giving him a sense of dread akin to facing a half-step Heavenly Venerable who had just validated the Dao.

"No need to be surprised." Ye Feng said.

"Hmph, everyone assumes the Sect Leader is merely an eighty-eight-layered Immortal Emperor with ordinary strength, not knowing he possesses the strength to overturn the entire Flame Universe."

Xue Rongqing took the opportunity to speak.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor was so shocked that his eyes and mouth widened in disbelief.

"Alright, let’s begin the fusion!"

Ye Feng formed a seal with both hands, and the Silver Spirit Talisman quickly absorbed a massive amount of Chaos Universe Origin. The temperature soared and it soon melted completely, flying towards the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor’s forehead.

"Ah!"

The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor felt immense pain all over, as if a red-hot drill was boring into his forehead. Inside his Sea of Consciousness, a massive silver spirit talisman shadow appeared, merging with his soul, causing his power to surge.

"This feeling... it’s exhilarating!"

The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor discovered that under the support of the Silver Spirit Talisman and Chaos Universe Origin, his cultivation foundation had increased severalfold compared to before, and his combat power augmented as well.

His entire defensive capability also improved.

Within half a day.

The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor had completely merged with the Silver Spirit Talisman, indistinguishable from one another; regardless of defense or combat power, everything reached the Nine-star Pinnacle of a King.

Only one step away from entering the Invincible Domain.

In the Flame Universe, he was nearly invincible.

"Greetings, Saint Ancestor, Master!"

The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor knelt before Xue Rongqing and Ye Feng, performing a respectful salute.

Within the Silver Spirit Talisman, Ye Feng had added his own imprint, so naturally, with the complete fusion of the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor and the Silver Spirit Talisman, he became his servant.

Only this way could Ye Feng be at ease.

"From today onwards, I, the Sect Leader, will explore and analyze the Book of Laws across the universe. You will assist the strong among the Ancient Sky Tribe in refining the Enlightenment Pills. Once you are fully fledged, you shall begin the conquest of the universe."

Ye Feng issued the order.

"Yes." The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor nodded.

"Wait, I will pass on some secret techniques to you. They will enhance your power further. Even when facing a peer of Invincible Supreme level, you will have the ability to protect yourself."

Ye Feng had many top-notch secret techniques.

Though not as great as Heavenly Venerable Divine Abilities, they were still the topmost Law Divine Abilities, such as the Vitality Chop and Ultimate Ruthless Sword Drawing Technique, revealing just a little was enough for the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor to benefit for life.

"Thank you, Master, for the bestowed techniques!"

The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor was grateful beyond measure; he realized he had struck a great fortune, not only encountering the prophesied Moon Holy Body but also meeting Ye Feng, who was more powerful than the Moon Holy Body, the Misty Holy Sect Leader, thus receiving a great opportunity.

Days later.

The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor learned several secret techniques and immediately returned to the ancestral land to practice.

Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing, on the other hand, left the Ancient Sky Tribe’s domain and arrived in the starry sky of the Flame Universe.

"Sect Leader, where are we going?"

"First, to the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan."

"Why?"

"That is Huo Lingjiao’s hometown, of course, we should take a look, and if there’s any need for assistance, we can lend a hand... after all, we are friends."

"Alright!"

The two gradually moved further away until they disappeared.

...

In the Cosmic Sea, high above.

An Abyss Clan Elder suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards a particular sea area below, his golden pupils filled with anger and surprise, frowning involuntarily.

"Another five scouts have died; it seems I must perform a deduction."

The Abyss Clan Elder thought.

The next moment, he plucked a golden monkey hair from his forehead and blew on it, causing it to burn into a purplish-golden mist, distorting the nearby void.

Sceneries began to unfold.

It was the distant Flame Universe.

Though the images from the deduced scenes were fragmented, he still obtained the most crucial image.

In the image:

A large Dao Stele Shard with a diameter of kilometers quietly hovered, exuding an ancient Dao charm, deeply attracting the Abyss Clan Ancestor’s gaze.

"A large Dao Stele Shard!"

"Hahaha..."

"No wonder these five scouts were completely wiped out, it turns out they discovered this item. Their deaths must have been at the hands of the powerful who guard the Dao Stele Shard."

"From the deduced scene, it seems the one who killed them wasn’t a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable. If that’s the case, there’s nothing to fear."

The Abyss Clan Elder sneered.

He decided to launch a full-scale attack on the unfamiliar universe containing that large Dao Stele Shard, unleashing a universe-level war enough to destroy that lower universe!
