The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Turmoil, The First Volume of Artificing Principles
 

Before one realized, Gong Qingqiu had joined the Misty Sect for three days.

In that period of time, the news of the battle with the Liuyun Sect spread like wildfire throughout the Southern River Basin, shocking numerous cultivators.

In the streets and alleys, or even within temple halls, legends about Ye Feng abound.

“It is said that although the Misty Sect is but a High Ranked Sect, Sect Master Ye managed to wield an Upper Grade Spirit Sword and a Middle Grade Spirit Sword Array to slay the Demon King Huyuan, a feat that makes him the foremost among all beneath the Spirit Sea Realm.”

“Not just beneath the Spirit Sea Realm. I’ve heard that Sect Master Ye’s true power is now on par with the Spirit Sea Realm.”/p>

“Aren’t you exaggerating a bit, fellow Daoist?”

“You don’t know, Demon King Huyuan’s cultivation level was only at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm. His physical body alone reached the Demon King Level. That’s why his strength still fell short when compared to the true experts of the Spirit Sea Realm.”

“That’s correct, but wasn’t Sect Master Ye easily overpowering Demon King Huyuan proof that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Spirit Sea Realm?”

“Eh, you do have a point!”

“…”

“Dad, I want to join the Misty Sect!”

Discussions about the Misty Sect continued unabated.

In places like Whitefloat City and Beacon Fire City.

Cultivators like Long Zhenchuan, Jia Li’an, Ouyang Hao, Huo Daxiong, and Huo Yunhao were delighted upon hearing the news since their nephews, daughters, and sons were disciples of the Misty Sect.

“I knew Sect Master Ye was a dragon among men. Yu Lan’s decision to join the Misty Sect was absolutely the right one!”

“My son Yun Jie has the makings of a Sword King!”

“My brother is the best!”

The friends and family of the Misty Sect’s disciples were extremely excited.

…

Divine Wind Sword Sect.

Sword Child Mu Ruxue, standing like a sharp sword on the summit of the Enforcement Peak, gazed at Misty Peak thousands of miles away, her beautiful eyes flashing incessantly.

“What an impressive Ye Feng. To think he concealed his strength so deeply, his fighting prowess… is formidable at the level of the Spirit Sea Realm!”

Even though she was honored as a proud daughter of the heavens with the potential of the Divine Origin Realm, facing Ye Feng who had slain two Peak Demon Generals and a Great Demon King, she still felt the pressure.

After all, no one knew when Ye Feng, who seemed like a mortal, would suddenly unleash a terrifying power.

At the least, Mu Ruxue believed that Ye Feng’s power was far from being fully revealed.

“It looks like next year’s Demon Slaying Festival in County King City will be quite a spectacle. Moreover, it’s likely that the ancestor of the Mystique Kingdom has successfully transcend his tribulation. Counting the time, the celestial phenomenon is also about to come.”

…

County King City.

Shu Hongyu leaned against the railing, calmly eating a piece of osmanthus cake.

“So he has already reached the power level of the Spirit Sea Realm, huh? The Misty Sect… really is becoming more and more miraculous.”

Having finished speaking, she continued eating her osmanthus cake.

Ten miles away.

On a tall building.

Elder Hongmeng was profoundly shaken upon hearing the news.

She had never imagined that Ye Feng would possess such fearsome strength. It was one thing to slay two Peak Demon Generals, but now he had even killed a Demon King.

In the future, wouldn’t he regard even the Divine Origin Realm with indifference?

“Sect Master Ye is really unfathomable. I wonder how the old powerhouses in the County King City are reacting to this. Maybe they’re starting to feel the pressure?”

“After all, Sect Master Ye’s rise to power has been so rapid.”

“The upcoming Demon Slaying Festival is sure to be interesting.”

Elder Hongmeng murmured to herself.

…

Myriad Islands Alliance, Wan Ren Peak.

Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong sat on the main seat, his voice booming, “Master Ye is yet again formidable in formation, and his combat strength is so extraordinary. He truly is the prime candidate for my future son-in-law. Great Elder, prepare a generous gift. I shall accompany you to propose marriage!”

“What?” The Blue Dragon King was startled.

The four Supreme Elders also widened their eyes.

They were about to marry off a daughter so hurriedly?

Mo Minxi’s eyes widened, feeling that her father was perhaps being too abrupt. They hadn’t even started to get acquainted with each other, and he was already planning to propose marriage.

“It’s just a proposal, there’s no certainty it will lead to marriage. If it does, I, as the Alliance Leader, would not be at a loss,” Mo Tianlong said indifferently.

Hearing this, Mo Minxi felt as if countless alpacas were stampeding through her heart.

How could such a major event as a marriage proposal be treated so hastily?

What if it were to succeed?

Wouldn’t that mean she would have to marry?

At this thought, Mo Minxi couldn’t help but clasp her fingers tightly together, a clear indication of her inner turmoil.

…

Liuyun Sect.

Dong Qiang sat cross-legged in his room.

“Damn Ye Feng, actually relying on killing this king to gain such fame. Now the Misty Sect really is second to none, it’s so depressing!” Demon King Huyuan let out a voice filled with utmost helplessness.

Dong Dongqiang sneered, “You’re at least a Demon King, but you couldn’t even beat a Sect Leader of a High Ranked Sect. Evaluation complete, you’re a piece of trash.”

“Damn you, if you’re so capable, you do it!” Huyuan burst into rage.

“I was a Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm back in the day, would I be afraid of that punk kid?” Dong Dongqiang shot back angrily.

“A damn old man, you can’t even beat the Element Gathering Realm now, and you call yourself a Great Power? More like a low power,” Huyuan retorted with sarcasm.

“Asking for a beating!” Dong Dongqiang cussed.

“Both of you seniors, please stop arguing!” Dong Qiang was exhausted. These two old guys, who together were at least three thousand years old, argued back and forth in his mind all day long, not giving him a moment of peace even during cultivation. It was truly frustrating.

“This king has decided, starting today, to gradually pass on all my life’s learning to little Dong, so he can grow up and thrash Ye Feng,” Huyuan suddenly changed his tone and said.

“Who are you calling little Dong? That’s disrespectful!” Dong Dongqiang scolded angrily.

“I wasn’t talking about you, shut up you old thing!” Huyuan got angry as well.

“Shit, it’s turned upside down!” Dong Dongqiang really wanted to perish together with Huyuan, but if he did, Dong Qiang, his only bloodline descendant, would be gone as well.

Observing the two old seniors quarreling, Dong Qiang felt so distressed he almost cried.

…

Misty Peak.

[Sect Prestige Value +7892]

[Sect Prestige Value +6678]

Ye Feng listened to the continuous sound, his mind filled with system notifications, and discovered that his Sect Prestige Value had skyrocketed from the previous 150,000 to 200,000.

And it was still increasing.

At this rate, breaking through a million wasn’t a dream!

Of course, it would require quite some time.

“Right, I almost forgot something.” Caught up in his joy, Ye Feng quickly opened the relevant information of the Artifact-refining Pavilion.

[Artifact-refining Pavilion: Tier 2]

[Basic Construction: Refining Furnace (Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact)]

[Artifact-refining Pavilion Promotion Instructions: Upgrade the Refining Furnace to Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, and the Artifact-refining Pavilion can be promoted to Tier 3, obtaining “Refinement Compendium – Middle Volume”]

Previously, the Artifact-refining Pavilion was at Tier 1.

Ever since the Refining Furnace was upgraded to an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Artifact-refining Pavilion was promoted to Tier 2, and furthermore, Ye Feng had also obtained “Refinement Compendium – Upper Volume”.

However, due to having been caught up in too many events previously, he had not had the chance to claim it.

“Ding, claim “Refinement Compendium – Upper Volume”.”

As the system notification sounded, a book with a thin, light-yellow, hardcover appeared in Ye Feng’s hand.

Upon opening it, each page glowed.

Ye Feng found that this book actually had more than 9,000 pages. However, a special formation was set inside, so although it looked thin from the outside, he found many pages upon flipping through it, as if they were endless.

“It’s so thick!”

Ye Feng was astonished, feeling overwhelmed, and quickly headed to the Scripture Pavilion to hand the book over to Ji Ziling, “This is “Refinement Compendium – Upper Volume”. It details the most basic methods of artifact refinement. Mastering it will allow you to create the strongest foundations for refining artifacts.”

“Refinement Compendium?”

The disciples present in the Scripture Pavilion quickly gathered around.

Gong Qingqiu was also in the Scripture Pavilion. She walked to the table and gently flipped through this ancient tome, her eyes filled with amazement.

“So it turns out, there are such simple methods for artifact refinement. The array setting methods recorded are also very straightforward and clear; this is indeed a rare treasure!” Gong Qingqiu grew more and more amazed as she read, her praise evident.

“If you’re interested in artifact refinement, you can practice it when you have time.”

After saying that, Ye Feng looked towards Gong Qingqiu, “Elder Gong, the three days have passed by now. The auxiliary cultivation method and that incomplete Fourth Grade Spell in the treasure box should be unsealed now, right?”

“About time.”

Gong Qingqiu took out the treasure box and placed it on the table.

The disciples brought stools over to sit beside, watching as Gong Qingqiu opened the treasure box, revealing two ancient tomes with special talismans attached.

“Seal-breaking talisman, open!”

Gong Qingqiu formed hand seals with both hands, sending out two light blue rays of light that entered the talismans, causing them to slowly rise and disperse into flecks of light.

“Sect Master, it’s open,” Gong Qingqiu said with a sigh of relief, laying the two ancient tomes flat on the table, and showing Sect Master Ye a gentle smile.

“Thank you,” Ye Feng nodded.

“Auxiliary Cultivation Method “Shuiyang Secret Art”.”

“Fourth Grade Spell “Mystical Spirit Catalogue”.”

Everyone looked at the titles on the covers, and couldn’t help but read them out loud.
