Chapter 2124: Chapter 2124: Return to the Tea Tree Wilderness

"Who?" Xiao Fangu was startled, quickly looking around the valley, but he didn’t know where the speaker was. "Why are you hiding? Show yourself to me at once!"

"Under your feet."

Xiao Fangu jumped in fear, hastily retreating several steps while looking down at the ground.

There, a blade of grass grew.

It stood only half a meter tall, with nine leaves resembling grass blades, emitting Chaos Qi and sharp Sword Intent, causing Xiao Fangu’s pupils to contract.

"Chaos Sword Grass?"

"Consider it a Chaos Sword Grass, but not naturally grown, rather formed through external means." The leaves of the small grass quivered like a person nodding, with a voice full of resentment and anger.

"There are artificially formed Chaos Sword Grass?" Xiao Fangu expressed amazement.

"Certainly." One of the small grass’s leaves nodded, "Originally, I was a powerful Venerable-level powerhouse, yet I was besieged by several peers, causing my body to shatter into dust, and my divine soul was nearly destroyed, leaving only an Indelible Seal. I barely escaped and ended up on this grass, forming the Chaos Sword Grass."

"Senior was once a Venerable-level powerhouse? Heavens, then were you in the Dao Venerable Realm?" Xiao Fangu was shocked.

A Dao Venerable could sweep across Haizhou.

Even in Yunzhou, Qingzhou, and other continents, such figures were top-tier powerhouses with revered status.

"It’s just past glory. Now, I’ve become a Chaos Sword Grass, the peak is no more. If you are willing to become my apprentice, I will teach you cultivation, and you can help me return to my peak." The small grass stated its intention.

"How can I be sure you won’t try to seize my body?" Xiao Fangu stepped back three paces, "As a senior in the Dao Venerable Realm, do you know my constitution?"

"Innate Chaos Dao Body, how could I not know? As soon as you approached, I awoke because I sensed the Chaos Origin. I never expected that the exceptionally rare Innate Chaos Dao Body would appear before me." The small grass suddenly chuckled.

"Appear?" Xiao Fangu frowned, suspecting the other party wanted to seize his body.

"Why fear? Although I only have an Indelible Seal left and have become Chaos Sword Grass, my strength is still sufficient to suppress you. If I truly wanted to seize your body, I would’ve done so already, no need to wait until now."

After speaking, the small grass began to release its pressure.

A terrifying Sword Dao aura enveloped the valley, making Xiao Fangu collapse on the ground, trembling as if being watched by a Primordial Fierce Beast.

"So strong! At least Dao Monarch level combat strength." Xiao Fangu exclaimed, having apprenticed under the Dao Monarch of the Godly Ape Clan, he was well-aware of the aura of this realm.

Comparatively, Chaos Sword Grass was no less than a Dao Monarch.

"Now you believe?" The small grass retracted its fierce sword aura, "I was once an infinitely close to Grand Dao Venerable peak Dao Venerable. Even with only an Indelible Seal, I can still easily crush ordinary Dao Monarchs, protecting your growth poses no issue. Unfortunately, I can’t move for now, so you’ll have to take me along."

"What should I do?" Xiao Fangu inquired.

To worship the Chaos Sword Grass as a master, he could surely rise strongly in the future, the resentment of being sneak-attacked would vanish, with the sole wish to become the apprentice swiftly.

"You will become my apprentice, and then I can form a pact with you and enter your Qi Sea. From then, you can take me on adventures, searching for the kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that will allow me to take form. Once I do, I can exert Dao Monarch peak combat power, and after a period of intensive training, return to the Dao Venerable level. Meanwhile, I will guide you well, no need to worry!"

The small grass began teaching the secret technique for the pact.

Xiao Fangu nodded, began cultivating, soon absorbing the Chaos Sword Grass into his body, and then left.

"Disciple, head that way."

Chaos Sword Grass pointed the direction, and Xiao Fangu quickly reached a valley, following the guiding, found a piece of unique Origin Divine Gold, immediately joyful.

"Now you believe, right? With me here, you can find all manner of top-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid you in breakthroughs and help me recover to take form."

Chaos Sword Grass said solemnly.

"Alright." Xiao Fangu nodded.

...

Haizhou, Space Clan, Multiverse.

Ye Feng ended his cultivation, slowly opening his eyes. The second Cosmic Ring within him had become much clearer and solid, close to advancing to Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

"Finally finished."

Ye Feng successfully deduced a path for evolving the Multiverse, then exited seclusion, checking the time, finding that over a month had passed, his gaze flickered.

Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster.

Chaos Divine Fire was heating the Chaos Divine Gold and various Immortal Gold, and they had successfully melted into masses of various colored liquid metals.

"Ready to reforge the Primordial Sword Embryo."

Ye Feng formed hand seals, embedding refined Dao Patterns into various Immortal Gold, beginning the path of refinement.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The Primordial Sword Embryo was wrapped by various liquid Immortal Gold, its surface Array Patterns evaporated, Ye Feng hastily carved new Array Patterns, causing materials to merge perfectly, overall strength rapidly increasing, even a Dao Monarch couldn’t break it.

However, this was not the limit.

With the reinforcement of Primordial Immortal Gold, Chaos Divine Gold, and other top-tier Divine Gold, the hardness of the Primordial Sword Embryo continued to rise until even a Dao Venerable struggled to shatter it, causing Ye Feng to rejoice.

Naturally, the Primordial Sword Embryo remained a Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon.

However, its strength increased.

With numerous Array Patterns and enhancements, it finally leaped among the top of Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons; even without his activation, the sword could battle high-level Heavenly Venerables, even triumph.

"Done, leaving seclusion!"

After a month of refining, Ye Feng finally emerged with the Primordial Sword Embryo. In the scenario of ten thousand times of time acceleration, this equated to approximately ten thousand years of refining.

This duration was indeed lengthy.

Rumble!

In the distance, the Refining Furnace and Nine-Star Alchemy Furnace were undergoing tribulation. Having absorbed Upgrade Energy, they had undergone several tribulations, breaking through multiple small realms.

Currently, it was the final Heavenly Tribulation.

A half-day later.

Two waves of Heavenly Tribulation receded, the Refining Furnace and Nine-Star Alchemy Furnace successfully advanced, becoming peak Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons, capable of forging any Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon and refining various Heavenly Venerable Elixirs.

"Good, good, good."

Ye Feng uttered three "good" words in succession, expressing his praise for the Refining Furnace and Nine-Star Alchemy Furnace.

"Haha, boss, give me various materials, I can start crafting the Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon." The Refining Furnace transformed into a youth in gray, radiating vigor.

"Boss, I can also refine various elixirs within the Heavenly Venerable realm now." The Nine-Star Alchemy Furnace transformed into a youth in a red robe, eyebrows and hair also red, appearing much more matured than before.

"In the treasury, you can select various Immortal Gold and Divine Gold for refining weapons, as well as top-tier medicinal materials for alchemy." Ye Feng granted permission.

"Alright!"

The two were excited, one went to forge weapons, the other to refine elixirs for the Sect.

Seeing this, Ye Feng was completely relieved.

In the Sect, with the Refining Furnace and Nine-Star Alchemy Furnace forging weapons and refining elixirs, along with the disciples having the Mind Cultivation Tower to temper their mindset, breakthroughs would be rapid.

Ye Feng raised his head, looking into the distance.

The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree was still nurturing the tea grove, but the progress was slow, still a ways away from success.

"Seems I need to make a trip to the Tea Tree Wilderness."

Ye Feng passed through a Door of the Outer Realm, appearing at the intersection of Qingzhou, Yunzhou, Haizhou’s Tea Tree Wilderness, entering the Purple Mist, reaching the grassland.

In the distance.

A massive Dao Monarch tea tree stood there, its previous wounds not fully healed, looking like an eggplant hit by frost, all wilted.

"Exhale... Inhale!"

The leaves of the Dao Monarch tea tree were stretching and contracting, devouring the surrounding power of heaven and earth, slowly recovering from its injuries. It would take more than a hundred years.

However, it didn’t have that much time.

"Sword Drawing and Heaven Cleaving Technique!"

Ye Feng had just appeared, gathering his own aura and striking out the strongest sword, fiercely chopping at the Dao Monarch tea tree, severing large branches with tea leaves.

"Damn, it’s you again!"

The Dao Monarch tea tree recognized Ye Feng and was alarmed.

It hadn’t been long since they met, and the opponent’s strength had surged once more, causing God Monarch anxiety, fearing that before long, I would be killed across one major realm by the opponent.

"Indeed, it’s me again." Ye Feng once more used the Sword Drawing and Heaven Cleaving Technique, chopping away numerous branches.

"Kid, you’ve gone too far!" The Dao Monarch tea tree burst forth with Dao Monarch pressure, but Ye Feng, after entering the holy divine form, weakened ninety percent of the pressure, coupled with the force field from the Chaos Triple Realm Universe Cluster, easily withstood the pressure.

On the grasslands.

Ye Feng’s sword cleaved the sky, his fierce Sword Qi plowing through the large grassland before him, carving a huge ravine in the main trunk of the tea tree Dao Monarch, with colorful tree sap splattering everywhere.

"How can you be this strong?"

The tea tree Dao Monarch was shocked, realizing that it might be consumed to death by Ye Feng’s battle across realms, hence it yelled into the depths of the Purple Mist, "Save me!"

Just as the voice fell, the Purple Mist churned.

Two strange figures entered the grassland area.

Ye Feng paused his attack and turned his head to look.

They were two tall middle-aged men wearing purple robes and cone-shaped high hats, both with full beards and purple lightning flickering in their eyes, genuinely early-stage Dao Monarchs who could enter the mist.

"Who are you?" Ye Feng asked.

"Young man, should be us asking you, who exactly are you?" said one purple-robed man.

"Your cultivation is strange, seemingly just at the level of One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, yet comparable to early-stage Dao Monarch, truly unbelievable. With this battle power, haven’t you broken the limit of power between heaven and earth?" The other purple-robed man’s eyes were full of amazement, holding a tetrahedral crystal in his hand.

Ye Feng released cosmic pressure, although only having one cosmic ring, yet exuding an extremely strong feeling.

"Such strong internal cosmos!"

The two purple-robed Dao Monarchs were stunned.

Ye Feng explained, "I am indeed only at the level of One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, but, my cosmos is the most powerful cosmos of all time, allowing my foundation to be comparable to high-level Heavenly Venerable. Coupled with ninety-nine times battle power, naturally very strong."

This was the explanation Ye Feng had prepared in advance.

He could not forever hide his cultivation level, nor admit that he had broken the limit of power between heaven and earth.

So, he would use his foundation as a shield.

"I see. Unexpectedly, even though you’re just One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, your foundation is so deeply rooted," one purple-robed Dao Monarch nodded, "Young man, regardless of whatever grudge you have with this tea tree, just leave!"

Ye Feng solemnly asked, "Why?"

The other purple-robed Dao Monarch said, "The Tea Tree Wilderness is a secret realm arranged by our Venerable, specifically used to punish this tea tree. You can pick the tea leaves, but killing it is absolutely forbidden."

"Venerable!" Ye Feng’s heart trembled, realizing the opponent was at least Dao Venerable Realm, no wonder even Dao Venerable couldn’t enter this place, it was actually a man-made force field.

In Ye Feng’s mind, the "Venerable" was at least late-stage Dao Venerable, or even peak.

"I’m just here to collect some tea leaves, is that too much?"

Ye Feng grinned.

"Do as you wish, as long as you don’t kill the Dao Monarch tea tree, even if you chop it up ten thousand times, it’s fine." One purple-robed Dao Monarch said casually, standing by watching.

"Alright, straightforward."

Ye Feng laughed thrice, clashed with the Dao Monarch tea tree again, chopping off many branches, leaving only a bare trunk, shocked and angry.

"Haha, farewell!"

Ye Feng swept away numerous branches, taunting the Dao Monarch tea tree with a couple of words, then slipped into the Purple Mist, disappearing without a trace.

The two purple-robed Dao Monarchs merely quietly watched the direction Ye Feng left, without intervening.

They seemed to merely be watchers.

...

Shenzhou Continent.

Ye Feng returned here, crushing the severed Dao Monarch tea tree branches into origin, nourishing the tea woods surrounding the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, causing them to flourish.

Time passed, slowly.

Outside, after a month.

Ye Feng finally cultivated the tea woods into material, each smoothly propagating into Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Trees, though only ten meters tall, their cultivation matched Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

These tea trees, their medicinal effect was not strong.

Yet, after all, they were Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Trees, despite some imperfections, they could still be absorbed.

"Devour!" Ye Feng said.

"Yes." The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree trembled, devouring the surrounding tea woods, countless ten-meter-high Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Trees released their origin, then withered, becoming a ground full of dead branches and leaves.

Rustle rustle rustle!

The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree shook, finally completing the third transformation, after passing the vast heavenly tribulation, its cultivation level rose to Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

Its medicinal effect grew increasingly amazing.

"Thank you, Master, subordinates broke through."

The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree became taller and more majestic, emanating rich vitality, with a stronger medicinal effect.

"Congratulations, on your third transformation, with seven more, you will undoubtedly ascend to Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree."

Ye Feng commented with relief.

"All thanks to the Master’s cultivation." The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree remained respectful.

"Do you know how to undergo the fourth transformation?" Ye Feng asked, planning to prepare the transformation materials.

"Strong origin can promote transformation, yet seems insufficient. But first, there must be strong origin, only then can I deduce the detailed list needed for the fourth transformation." The Seven-Colored Enlightenment tea tree replied.

"Is the Dao Monarch strong origin enough?"

"Probably not enough, it requires blood essence from Dao Venerable Realm or soul fragment of the same level existence." The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree revealed a heavyweight message.

"Dao Venerable Realm? Tsk tsk, a bit challenging, but if I seek Jade Capital Ancestor, I’m not sure if he would share some blood essence with me." Ye Feng murmured.

Speaking thus, he headed towards Jade Capital City.

In a courtyard in Jade Capital City, he had placed a Door of the Outer Realm disguised as a stone monument, allowing him to easily reach here and head towards City Lord’s Mansion.
