Chapter 2003: Chapter 2003: Dormancy, Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Qualification

On the meditation cushion.

Ye Feng pushed his comprehension to the extreme, quickly deducing part of the content of the second layer from the foundation of the first layer, but it became difficult afterward.

Even though his comprehension was strong, his progress was still slow.

After all, even the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable spent a lot of time and effort creating the second layer of the "Decrypting Eye".

Ye Feng knew that even if he could deduce the second layer, it would still take a considerable amount of time. So, he imposed a ten thousand times time acceleration on himself.

One year in the outside world equaled ten thousand years for him.

Under such circumstances, Ye Feng’s body remained motionless as he continued the deduction process.

...

In the vast starry sky.

Xiao Fangu stood on the surface of a massive meteorite, looking at the Shenzhou Continent in the distance, his gaze firmly locked on the Great Dao Golden List above the Heavenly Origin Sea.

"What to do..."

At this moment, his mind was very conflicted.

With his combat power more than ten times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, it was assured that he could easily reach Half-Step Heavenly Venerable. Competing for the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable position wasn’t difficult either.

Even for the legendary True Heavenly Venerable position, he had strong competitiveness.

However, he didn’t dare to prove his Dao.

The reason was his fear of being assassinated by the Sect Leader Ye Feng of the Misty Holy Sect. After all, the other party had publicly stated that he wouldn’t participate in the Dao competition, and even if he killed those geniuses involved, the karmic repercussions would be minimal for him.

After all, karma most significantly affects proving one’s Dao.

If he didn’t prove his Dao, then Ye Feng would become a Protector and naturally not fear karma.

Therefore, Xiao Fangu was very afraid.

"No, I must prove my Dao, and if possible, it would be best to become a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable. That way, I would have enough self-defense capability. As for a True Heavenly Venerable, such an opportunity to prove one’s Dao won’t appear so soon."

Xiao Fangu analyzed in a low voice.

He continued to analyze.

"In this ten-year Dao era, there will be three Heavenly Venerables. Judging from the current situation, the slots to prove as a True Heavenly Venerable should appear in the third, sixth, and ninth years. For a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, one slot per year, concentrated at the end of the year. Half-Step Heavenly Venerable slots, roughly one per month."

Xiao Fangu was confident.

"Therefore!"

"By the end of this year, there will certainly be a spot to prove as a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable. Although I am extremely talented and my combat power is extraordinary, the True Heavenly Venerable position would require a three-year wait, which I can’t afford now."

"I must quickly enhance myself."

"Only when I become a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable powerhouse will I have enough self-defense. After all, Ye Feng can even kill the King of Destruction, a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable at the peak, and if I only advance to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, I definitely won’t be able to block him."

"Thus, Quasi-Heavenly Venerable!"

This was Xiao Fangu’s goal.

"However, in my current appearance, I’m easily recognizable to others, so... I need to alter my appearance."

Xiao Fangu murmured.

The next moment, he went to the Immortal Realm Continent and found an ancient family, where an ancestor of the eighty-three-layered Immortal Emperor level presided, possessing substantial strength.

Under this ancestor was a beloved disciple.

This person had a soft and delicate appearance, remarkably similar to Xiao Fangu’s current state, thus becoming his target.

"Hehehe..."

Xiao Fangu let out a sneer, directly possessing and refining this young man, who had only reached the sixtieth-layered Immortal Emperor level, taking over the person’s identity, position, and appearance.

"From now on, I will live with this person’s appearance, and once I prove my Dao, I will return to my original looks."

Xiao Fangu murmured.

"Disciple, come here." At this moment, the ancestor of the eighty-three-layered Immortal Emperor called out.

"Yes." Xiao Fangu responded meekly, conversing with the ancestor without revealing any flaws.

...

In the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, National Adviser Holy Hall.

Ye Feng was still sitting cross-legged, with his body in a state of ten thousand times time acceleration, striving to deduce the second layer of the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Decrypting Eye".

Very soon, he found a direction.

"It’s still not enough. I need to switch locations."

Ye Feng entered the small universe, sitting beneath a giant Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, fully immersing himself in comprehension.

Rustling sounds...

The giant tree swayed, as countless seven-colored light rain fell, merging into Ye Feng’s body, further enhancing his comprehension.

This was the blessing from the Ancestor Tree.

Merely drinking the Enlightenment Tea, though it could temporarily boost comprehension dramatically, its effect was not as strong as receiving the blessing from the ancestor of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.

"Decrypting Eye focuses on decryption."

"Why can these eyes decrypt?"

"It relies on deciphering everything, thoroughly understanding the principles behind all things, naturally enabling deep-level decryption, and thereby achieving smooth decryption."

Ye Feng continued to analyze.

The heart method for the second layer gradually became complete.

He stood alone under the Enlightenment Tea Tree, continuously sketching in the void with his hands, gradually forming a blood-red vertical pupil totem, its light flickering.

This was the first layer of the Decrypting Eye.

Next, Ye Feng inscribed another eye within this eye totem, merging with it, making it a double pupil endowed with greater power.

And this, was the second layer.

"Merge!"

Ye Feng chanted an incantation, and the array pattern of the double pupil totem started to rotate layer by layer, becoming more profound, eventually transforming into a vertical eye mark that embedded itself into his forehead.

The second layer, accomplished!

"Finally done."

Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, the third eye totem on his forehead did not show any phenomena, but both eyes could emit a Deciphering Light, easily breaking prohibitions.

Moreover, the Decrypting Eye now held a new powerful function.

Disillusionment!

Instantly seeing through all illusions in the world.

"Not bad at all!"

"At this point, in the Twin Universe’s Nine Great Heavenly Venerables’ Divine Maceries, I have thoroughly mastered seven, with the remaining two at the first layer."

"Moreover, I’ve also obtained the "Book of Curses", tallying to a total of ten Heavenly Venerable Divine Abilities, which is quite astonishing."

Ye Feng spoke in a low tone.

He believed that even across the entire Cosmic Sea, he was someone who mastered the most Heavenly Venerable Divine Abilities. Even in the distant Origin of All Things, Ye Feng reckoned that among the younger generation, not many could grasp so many complete versions of Heavenly Venerable Divine Abilities.

"I can start preparing to create new laws."

Ye Feng left the small universe, appearing in the National Adviser Holy Hall of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, and swept with his Divine Sense, his face turning red.

Because he saw a stimulating scene.

Four beautiful women were still bathing!

"They say women are made of water, and seeing it now, it seems true. Otherwise, how could these four have been bathing all this time? I really want to take a bath too!"

Ye Feng stroked his chin.

Of course, he was merely indulging in idle talk.

"Princess, Qingqing, I’m leaving now."

Ye Feng transmitted a message to Xue Rongqing and Hu Feifei, then left the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom and returned to Misty Peak.

"Fearless Law!"

Ye Feng closed his eyes, beginning to deduce this entirely new law, attempting to break through to the ninety-fifth layer of the Creation Realm.

...

In the universe, soon it was the end of August.

"The eighth proving Dao opens!"

With the transmission of the Great Dao Golden List, ten hundred-layered Immortal Emperors quickly arrived on the scene, including Huang Meng from Tengang Continent, and the Six-Eyed Divine King, among others.

"You... do you know Xuan Meng?"

The Six-Eyed Divine King stared at Huang Meng, feeling that the other’s aura was similar to Xuan Meng, and was very strong. His heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, and his eyelids twitched violently.

"Indeed." Huang Meng nodded.

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eyed Divine King was bereft of tears to cry.

After enduring for so long until Qingchen Ancient Immortal, Di Meng, and Xuan Meng attained enlightenment, yet another strong contender appeared.

"My name is Huang Meng."

"I don’t care about that!" The Six-Eyed Divine King gritted his teeth, knowing that he would have to accompany the running race again.

And indeed, that was the case.

In the ensuing battle, Huang Meng directly employed the first layer of the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Infinite Combat Power," stacking eight times his combat power, stepping into the Invincible Domain, and sweeping through the nine opponents present.

"It angers me to no end!"

The Six-Eyed Divine King was the first to be defeated. As he flew backward, he watched as the mark on his forehead detached, and he was so angry that he nearly passed out.

"Why do I have to accompany the running race again?"

The Six-Eyed Divine King was very unwilling, quickly returning to the ancestral land to practice in seclusion, learning the clan’s forbidden Secret Technique.

Only in this way would he have a chance.

After the great battle.

Huang Meng successfully ascended to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, becoming the fifth enlightened powerhouse on Tengang Continent.

"Congratulations!"

The Bodhi Ancient Tree, Tian Meng, Di Meng, and Xuan Meng each sent their blessings to Huang Meng in turn.

"Fellow Daoists, you are too kind."

Huang Meng was very pleased with his advancement to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, promptly opening a forum to preach on Tengang Continent, sharing his cultivation insights and experiences with the young geniuses there to enhance their cultivation.

Within the Misty Holy Sect.

Ye Feng was in the process of creating a new law, but he also knew that Huang Meng had successfully achieved enlightenment and become a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

Regarding this, he expressed his acknowledgment.

Ye Feng’s response left Huang Meng feeling both honored and startled.

Even though he had reached Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, he was still far inferior compared to Ye Feng, this peerless figure, let alone the fact that Ye Feng was the Boundary Master of Tengang Continent. No matter how high Huang Meng ascended, he always remained respectfully obedient.

In the universe.

Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others were all in seclusion, diligently improving the revised version of "Nine Heavens Profound Art," enhancing their base combat power further, reaching levels comparable to Emperor Dragon Sovereign and the Crimson Queen.

In fact, it was even surpassing.

Time flew by, another month passed.

By the end of September.

The battle for enlightenment this time was no longer so intense.

Among the ten enlightened ones, none had the combat power to step into the Invincible Domain, not even Nine-star Pinnacle, causing many people’s hearts to stir.

"Look, the Six-Eyed Divine King is about to reach enlightenment!"

Someone shouted.

The strongest of this session was actually the Six-Eyed Divine King!

Through seclusion, his base combat power finally broke through to about Eight Stars, and with the secret techniques he could employ with his six eyes, his combat power reached Nine Stars.

Even the combined strength of the other nine could barely contend with him, let alone defeat him.

"Hahahaha..."

The Six-Eyed Divine King laughed heartily, easily defeating his opponents and fusing all the Universe Origin Marks.

After today, he successfully reached enlightenment.

This incident quickly caused a sensation.

"See, it was just that the earlier enlightenment was too intense, leading us to believe that without Invincible Supreme combat power one couldn’t reach enlightenment. But now, it has been proven that with Eight-star or Nine-star King combat power, one can achieve Half-Step Heavenly Venerable enlightenment, fellow Daoists!"

"Quick, charge forward!"

"I also want to attain enlightenment!"

There were still many Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors in the universe, with combat power reaching Seven Stars. Previously, due to the overwhelming strength of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, and others, they dared not participate in the struggle for enlightenment.

But now the situation was different.

If even the oft-second-placed Six-Eyed Divine King could attain enlightenment, what did they have to fear?

Suddenly, many people exited seclusion.

The universe was suddenly filled with a hundred strong ones at the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Level, with even the weakest among them achieving Seven Stars, ready to compete in the upcoming Half-Step Heavenly Venerable enlightenment battle to break through the realm.

"The universe has lively burst into activity once more."

Ye Feng ended his seclusion.

Through efforts during this period, he created a new Fearless Law, preparing to integrate it, thus exiting seclusion to take a look and discovering it was already the end of September, and even the Six-Eyed Divine King had attained enlightenment.

"Nine Half-Step Heavenly Venerables now, and soon there might be Quasi-Heavenly Venerable enlightenment coming. I wonder who can become a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable." Ye Feng thought to himself.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, Ye Feng realized he couldn’t sense Xiao Fangu’s aura at all.

The other person seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"This person is ultimately a scourge, I wonder where he has run off to. Moreover, his combat power seems strong, and I wonder whether he will participate in the enlightenment struggle."

Ye Feng mused.

If Xiao Fangu sought enlightenment, should he stop him?

After all, the person was a foe.

But, on second thought, the presence of Xiao Fangu was always a burden on the minds of Shi Lei, Li Jiaojiao, Huo Yunjie, Mo Ying, and other disciples.

This person becoming strong could bring pressure to the disciples.

With pressure comes motivation.

As for Xiao Fangu ascending to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, Ye Feng did not worry about the latter posing a threat to himself. Ye Feng possessed the Holy Divine Form, Army-Destroyer Sword Spear, Myriad Spirits Treasure Vase, and in the universe, it wasn’t difficult to confront a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable head-on.

However, Quasi-Heavenly Venerable was still quite formidable.

Even now, Ye Feng was not entirely confident in being able to eliminate the opponent. Let alone Xiao Fangu, who could be a very powerful Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

Some time later.

Ye Feng successfully fused the Fearless Law, his cultivation breaking through to the ninety-fifth layer of the Creation Realm.

By the end of October.

The tenth enlightenment of the year began.

This time there were again ten Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors contending, with the strongest one reaching Nine-star at the pinnacle, overpowering those at the same level, and successfully obtaining the Universe Origin Mark.

Thus, the tenth Half-Step Heavenly Venerable of the Twin Universe for the year emerged, drawing much admiration.

"Mid-month next month, the final enlightenment battle of the year will take place to contend for the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable position!"

The Great Dao Golden List announced in advance.

Soon after, five marks flew out, slowly rotating around the Great Dao Golden List, each mark more grand and majestic than the previous Half-Step Heavenly Venerable marks.

"What?!"

"Mid-next month? Doesn’t that mean the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable enlightenment battle will happen in mid-November?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

In the Immortal Realm, within an ancient family.

Xiao Fangu abruptly stood up, his fists clenched tightly, staring intently in the direction of the Shenzhou Continent.

"Hahaha... Finally, the long-awaited chance for Quasi-Heavenly Venerable enlightenment is here. With my current power, the spot is definitely mine!"

Xiao Fangu sneered wickedly.

In the Crimson Star System.

A graceful figure slowly walked out, looking towards the distant Shenzhou direction, licking her lips.

"Although my goal is True Heavenly Venerable, with the cutthroat competition of this era, I might as well seize a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable spot first. If I can attain enlightenment, that wouldn’t be bad. As for True Heavenly Venerable, I can’t compete with those people."

Among those people, the one that made the Crimson Queen the most apprehensive was most certainly the Ancestor of Demons and Hu Feifei.

Then followed by Mo Ying and the others.

Competing with them for the Heavenly Venerable position was almost hopeless, so she chose to settle for second best, aiming for the more attainable and robust Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

With that, the Crimson Queen soared into the sky.
