Chapter 2093: Chapter 2093: First Encounter with Emperor Beihe

Immortal Palace Tavern, inside the private suite.

Ye Feng, Zhou Yan, and Tian Qi were sipping tea, occasionally admiring the scenery outside the window, discussing cultivation issues, and waiting for the maids outside to serve the dishes.

Suddenly, Ye Feng looked into the distance.

In a certain suite, he sensed a familiar presence, causing him to raise an eyebrow.

"Ye Feng, what’s wrong?"

Zhou Yan and Tian Qi followed Ye Feng’s gaze and looked toward the suite in the distance.

"It seems I’ve encountered an acquaintance." Ye Feng said.

Not far away, in that suite.

A few Heavenly Venerables were sitting there, the leader being a Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable, exuding an extremely dense Sun Principle Origin aura, resembling a blazing sun.

"Such a familiar presence!"

This person abruptly opened his eyes, looking toward the suite where Ye Feng was with a hint of uncertainty.

In his eyes, there was a glimmer of flow.

That is... the Eye of Insight!

Only, it wasn’t as strong as Ye Feng’s, after all, the latter’s Eye of Insight was the System’s own Eye of Insight combined with the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Insightful Eye", the strongest Eye of Insight in the world.

"Is it Ye Feng?"

Emperor Beihe blinked, definitely thinking the person in the nearby suite should be an acquaintance, and the most likely acquaintance coming here would be Ye Feng.

But, Emperor Beihe found it incredible.

"Forget it, maybe it’s just an illusion, I’ve been hunted by enemies recently, I can’t show myself casually."

Emperor Beihe mused.

The other suite remained silent.

Both parties were dining.

Half a day later, Emperor Beihe’s group finished their meal first, flying deeper into Yunzhou.

"Let’s go, follow them."

After Emperor Beihe and his people, a group of black-clad figures followed closely, catching Ye Feng’s attention.

"Ye Feng, what are you looking at?" In the suite, Tian Qi noticed Ye Feng’s peculiar behavior, as if focusing on something.

"I encountered an acquaintance, and that acquaintance seems to be hunted." Ye Feng replied.

"What are we waiting for, let’s go help!" Tian Qi stood up, eager to act.

"Since an acquaintance is in trouble, we naturally have to lend a hand, don’t you agree?" Zhou Yan smiled.

Ye Feng nodded, "Alright."

With Zhou Yan and Tian Qi’s assistance, this journey should be much smoother, so he quickly paid the bill and was surprised to find that it cost forty thousand Origin Stones.

"Hiss, this place could bankrupt me!"

Ye Feng exclaimed, but since an acquaintance was in danger, he couldn’t worry about the Origin Stones and set off immediately.

Hundreds of millions of miles away.

In the depths of a barren land.

Emperor Beihe and his friends looked at the formation sealing them in, then at the group of fierce-eyed black-clad figures, their expressions grim.

"Surrender and hand over the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin, or I will slaughter you all."

The leading black-clad figure said coldly.

"What if I refuse?" Emperor Beihe surveyed the surroundings, a resolute look on his face.

"Refuse? Ha, if you had handed over the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin, I could have given you a painless death, but since you’re not yielding, we’ll have to extract and refine your souls."

The black-clad leader sneered.

"Fellow Daoists, I’ve implicated you. I will fend them off, you escape first!"

Emperor Beihe prepared to fight.

"What are you talking about, we’ve long been close friends, and if we die, we die together. How could we leave you behind?"

"Right, dying together."

"Enough talk, fight!"

The remaining Heavenly Venerables roared, the weakest being Sixth-turn Heavenly Venerables, considered powerful in Haizhou.

But, their assailants were too strong.

The weakest were Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerables, the strongest an Eighth-turn Heavenly Venerate, numbering in the dozens, with the added encirclement of formations, it’s nearly a hopeless situation.

"Attack!"

The black-clad group struck simultaneously, instantly piercing Emperor Beihe’s chest, severing the limbs of other Heavenly Venerables, causing blood-filled coughing.

Just one face-off, they were outmatched.

"Heaven has doomed me!"

Emperor Beihe’s eyes reddened, if not for the significance of the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin which could quickly revive the deceased Moon Heavenly Venerable Shi Youyou, he wouldn’t have risked seizing it from these black-clad figures.

"Tell me, where is the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin!"

The leading black-clad figure said coldly.

Previously, in a secret realm at Yunzhou’s eastern border, several top-tier Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons, including the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin, surfaced. They claimed several weapons, but the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin was taken by Emperor Beihe’s group.

Thus, they pursued relentlessly to this point.

"Hmph!"

"The Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin is naturally a masterless Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon born from the secret realm; you’ve already taken several weapons, yet still are insatiable, absolutely shameless!"

"Indeed, you scoundrels!"

Emperor Beihe and his group rebuked.

Their escape seemed impossible today, so if they must die, they should show fortitude. Even in death, they wouldn’t surrender the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin.

"In that case, perish!"

The leading black-clad figure released immense Eighth-turn Heavenly Venerate aura, forming a black treasured seal, aiming to strike Emperor Beihe’s forehead.

If this hit connects, Beihe is done for!

"Is death near?"

Emperor Beihe sighed, Shi Youyou’s figure flashed in his mind, drawing a bitter smile.

"No, you won’t die." At that moment, a figure appeared before Emperor Beihe, clad in white, his robes fluttering, effortlessly neutralizing the black treasured seal with a unique force field.

"Who are you?"

The black-clad leader’s expression darkened.

To appear silently and effortlessly counter his full-force strike, this person must be at the peak of Ninth-turn Heavenly Venerable, possibly... a Dao Monarch!

"Who I am is not for you to know; simply realize, you’re all doomed."

Ye Feng, arms crossed, said.

Instantly, Tian Qi and Zhou Yan appeared beside Ye Feng, all emanating the aura of Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerables, their foundations exceptionally solid.

"What, a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable!"

"And two Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerables."

"With this lineup, do you wish to kill us?"

The black-clad leader was shocked but at the same time noticed Ye Feng and his companions’ cultivation level, instantly speechless.

"Attack!" Ye Feng commanded.

"No issue." Tian Qi and Zhou Yan exchanged glances, decisively moved left and right.

Rip!

Just one confrontation, possessing peak Ninth-turn Heavenly Venerable power, Zhou Yan and Tian Qi immediately obliterated the black-clad leader, simultaneously slaying several Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerables.

"How is this possible?"

The remaining people were dumbfounded, but Ye Feng did not give them a chance to catch their breath and also struck, stepping forward in the astonished gaze of Emperor Beihe.

One step, two steps...

With each step Ye Feng took, his aura increased by a fold. By the seventh step, his aura reached its peak, and he stomped heavily.

Crack!

A Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable was too slow to dodge and was crushed to death under Ye Feng’s foot.

"It is the Seven Steps to Heaven that I created!"

Emperor Beihe exclaimed.

"Indeed, it is the Seven Steps to Heaven you created, and now, this divine skill has been redeveloped and enhanced by me to become a top-tier Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability."

Ye Feng turned back and met Emperor Beihe’s eye.

"Ye Feng, it really is you!"

Emperor Beihe looked at the young man in white with only Quasi-Heavenly Venerable cultivation from afar, not expecting their first meeting would be under such circumstances.

"Yes, it’s me." Ye Feng looked at the now Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable Emperor Beihe, "Back then, thanks to your "Seven Steps to Heaven", I succeeded in cultivation and relied on this divine ability to have slain many formidable enemies."

Emperor Beihe sighed, "All this is your own fortune. Now, you truly surpass the master. I cannot compare to you anymore."

Ye Feng smiled and looked around.

While speaking, Tian Qi and Zhou Yan had already broken the formation around them and killed all the remaining men in black.

This battle came to an end.

"Let’s go find a quiet place to talk in detail."

Ye Feng collected the corpses of those men in black into the Heavenly Venerable Level Great Dao treasure vase for refining.

Soon, they flew to the distance.

One hour later.

At a teahouse on top of a mountain.

"I understand now!" Ye Feng suddenly realized, finally learning from Emperor Beihe’s account about his major experiences after leaving through the universe’s escape passage.

Years ago, Emperor Beihe left the Minor Immortal Realm and came to the Half-Side of the Immortal Realm Universe, continuously elevating his cultivation until he finally reached the Origin Land via the path located in the Immortal Realm.

Thereafter, he continued his training and soon awakened memories and cultivation from his past life as a Sun Heavenly Venerable.

After becoming a Heavenly Venerable, Emperor Beihe continued to practice diligently at the Origin of All Things, until he restored all his cultivation and met those old friends of his time.

Over ten years ago, the Twin Universe encountered a devastating battle; he brought a few of those friends in the form of soul fragments and contributed significantly.

Later, to avoid the pursuit of the Abyss Clan and the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, they fled to Yunzhou.

Yunzhou is different from Haizhou.

Here, there were almost no minions of the Abyss Clan or the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, making it relatively safe.

Emperor Beihe continued his cultivation, breaking through.

A while ago, the nearby Secret Realm opened; he found the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin inside and managed to obtain it with the help of a few old friends.

This item can quickly revive Shi Youyou!

But, Emperor Beihe was pursued, leading to the scene Ye Feng later witnessed.

"So that’s how it is."

Ye Feng clapped his hands.

Shi Youyou is the reincarnation of the Moon Heavenly Venerable and the dual cultivation companion of Emperor Beihe. The latter acquired the precious Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin to revive Shi Youyou.

"Beihe, I have now rebuilt the sect on Spirit Turtle Island. Though it isn’t the former Dao Sect, it is the Misty Holy Sect under my leadership. However, as Shi Youyou is still our sect’s Elder, you can join our sect anytime if you’re willing."

Ye Feng extended an invitation.

Emperor Beihe, being a Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable,

if he were to join the sect, could significantly enhance cultivation, making Ye Feng even stronger.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but it’s too difficult to revive Youyou. Even with the Nine Yin Black Jade Coffin, I need to explore other parts of the Origin of All Things to gather various origins to form a formation for revival."

Emperor Beihe shook his head.

"Is that so? That’s really unfortunate." Ye Feng showed a look of disappointment.

Of course, reviving Shi Youyou is a good thing.

"Ye Feng, let’s part ways here! I plan to go with a few friends to other places in Yunzhou to search for essential origins, until we meet again."

Emperor Beihe stood up and cupped his hands.

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for your return." Ye Feng nodded, "Perhaps when you reappear, I would have led the Misty Holy Sect to sweep away these enemies like the Abyss Clan and the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan."

"I believe you can." Emperor Beihe nodded, acknowledging Ye Feng.

"Farewell, Feng Ye Sword Venerable!"

"Feng Ye Sword Venerable, thank you very much this time."

Emperor Beihe’s friends thanked him one after another, addressing Ye Feng as Feng Ye Sword Venerable to show respect.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ye Feng watched the departing Emperor Beihe and company, sighing deeply.

"Let’s go. We shall return to Haizhou and continue practicing within the Chaotic Dao Sect. Currently, since the Abyss Clan and the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan dare not move against you, it’s the perfect time to cultivate."

Zhou Yan patted Ye Feng’s shoulder.

"Mm." Ye Feng nodded.

This time, they joined forces to slay over a dozen Heavenly Venerables above the Seventh-turn, gaining a substantial amount of origin substance, ample enough to nurture many strong warriors.

"Abyss Clan, Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, once I am fully fledged, I shall eliminate you all!"

Ye Feng clenched his fists.

Tian Qi poured cold water, saying, "Ye Feng, you better not get too cocky! The Abyss Clan and the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan are merely appetizers; the true enemies are the Godly Ape Clan and the Blood Moon Clan backing them. Even the Space Clan we belong to and Chaos Dao Sect where Zhou Yan resides do not have absolute confidence in wiping them out."

"Wait until I grow stronger!" Ye Feng declared, "Once I become a Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable at the peak, with my battle prowess, I can slay the Dao Monarch peak. At that time, under my leadership, it won’t be difficult to vanquish the Godly Ape Clan and Blood Moon Clan."

"We believe in you!"

Zhou Yan and Tian Qi nodded repeatedly.

A Quasi-Heavenly Venerable capable of slaying a Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable—when Ye Feng advances to Heavenly Venerable, he’ll be invincible within the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Upon ascending to Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, he can even slay a Dao Monarch effortlessly.

He shall change the dynamics of Haizhou!

Swish, swish, swish!

The three sped through the void towards Haizhou, and at the nearest city, they took the teleportation array to the city near Chaotic Dao Sect. The total trip took them half a day, finally returning to the beloved Chaotic Dao Sect.

"Finally back."

Ye Feng breathed the dense chaos qi emanating from Chaotic Dao Sect and looked at Tian Qi beside him possessing the Chaos Universe. A bold idea emerged in his mind.

"Do you think I could evolve the Three-Lifetimes Universe within me into a Chaos Three-Lifetimes Universe?"

Ye Feng suddenly spoke.

Zhou Yan and Tian Qi widened their eyes at him.

"Chaos Three-Lifetimes Universe?"

"Ye Feng, you truly dare to dream!"

"Do you know that merely a Chaos Universe is reputed to be among the strongest single universes, and yet you possess an even stronger Three-Lifetimes Universe and are still unsatisfied, thinking about evolving the universe into a Chaos Three-Lifetimes Universe?"

"That idea is insane!"

Tian Qi and Zhou Yan commented in astonishment.

"What, it can’t be done?" Ye Feng raised his eyebrows.

"You can try, but whether you succeed, we cannot say for sure. However, if you do succeed, the Three Realms Universe could directly evolve into a high-grade Great Universe, advancing you to Heavenly Venerable."

Tian Qi thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Is that so?" Ye Feng rubbed his chin, deciding to give it a try. If successful, he could probably leap another level to Heavenly Venerable Realm.
