Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Young Master Zhang Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Young Master Zhang The war concluded, with the upper echelons of both the South Palace family and the Fenglan Sect immediately secluding themselves to heal their injuries.

This devastating loss clearly enraged them, and they all wished to recover as quickly as possible to execute vengeance upon Beiming Kong and Murong Tian.

It was also a measure to prevent other major powers from taking advantage of their weakened state.

Besides wondering why Beiming Kong hadn’t eradicated the South Palace family and the Fenglan Sect, everyone was puzzled by Feng Wuchen’s absence.

In such a large-scale battle, it was odd that Feng Wuchen was absent.

Could it be that he had been intimidated by the South Palace family?

Of course not, how could Feng Wuchen possibly be afraid of the South Palace family? At this moment, he was still engaged in frenzied cultivation.

The day after the war ended marked the fourth day of Feng Wuchen’s intense cultivation.

In just four days, Feng Wuchen’s cultivation level had undergone earth-shattering changes.

If divided by ten levels, after four days of cultivation, Feng Wuchen had already ascended four levels, effectively one level per day, a rate so terrifying it could be described in no other terms.

Advancing one level per day, in ten days Feng Wuchen would be able to step into the Third Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, a cultivation speed so formidable that it left everyone else in the dust.

Of course, compared to Beiming Kong’s increase in cultivation using the Soul Devouring Formation, that was far off.

However, Feng Wuchen’s solid cultivation contrasted with Beiming Kong’s resorting to devious methods for his improvement; the two were not to be confused.

In four days, the plethora of treasures of heaven and earth had been depleted by half, and the immense energy of the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus within Feng Wuchen was fully absorbed. How terrifying was this speed of refinement?

…

On the sea surface of a waterfall somewhere in Jiuzhou, Murong Tian and Beiming Kong stood atop the lake, not a single ripple stirred beneath their feet.

“Beiming Kong, tell me honestly, what exactly are you up to? I can’t figure it out,” Murong Tian said, his gaze fixed on Beiming Kong.

“Don’t worry, I won’t vie with you for Nangong Zhan’s power,” Beiming Kong said with a light smile.

Murong Tian furrowed his brows and speculated, “Have you already awakened the power of the ancestors from Zangling Valley?”

“Not yet,” Beiming Kong shook his head, “But soon. The battle with the South Palace family and the Fenglan Sect indeed provided me with tremendous power, but I need time. At most half a month, and I should be able to awaken the power of Zangling Valley’s ancestors.”

“With your strength, you could have annihilated both the South Palace family and the Fenglan Sect, yet you chose not to. Aren’t you afraid they’ll recover and seek revenge?” Murong Tian asked, frowning, increasingly unable to fathom Beiming Kong’s thoughts.

“By the time they’re capable of seeking revenge against me, will I still be afraid of them?” Beiming Kong retorted, a trace of haughty cold laughter curling at his lips.

Beiming Kong didn’t annihilate the South Palace family and the Fenglan Sect simply because he didn’t consider them worth the effort.

To think nothing of the mightiest two forces in Jiuzhou, just how audacious was Beiming Kong?

“Tell me your next plan,” Beiming Kong said, looking at Murong Tian.

Murong Tian smiled faintly and shrugged, “With your and my strength, what plan do we need? We just wait for the Desolate Domain to open, seize Feng Wuchen’s martial arts, and eliminate this threat in the process.”

“If that’s the case, before the Desolate Domain opens, I need to capture Feng Wuchen and bring him to the Xiewang Sect to fulfill my deal with Xiehun,” Beiming Kong nodded in acknowledgement.

Beiming Kong said this as casually as if dealing with Feng Wuchen was as simple as crushing an ant.

…

As days passed by, Feng Wuchen’s cultivation grew increasingly strong; he had already ascended to the Seventh Layer.

The thousands of heavenly and earthen treasures had been completely exhausted, and the speed of his cultivation had reached an almost unconceivable pace.

In the center of the Spirit Lake, above Feng Wuchen’s head, the state of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top remained constant, with vast Spiritual Energy flowing towards it endlessly, as if it could never be depleted.

With all the treasures of heaven and earth used up, Feng Wuchen was astonished to find that after his twelve primordial spirits began to refine and absorb the Spiritual Energy, his cultivation speed actually increased significantly.

This was a surprising turn for Feng Wuchen; the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Lake was even more potent than that of the treasures of heaven and earth.

Of course, this wasn’t actually the case; it was because the Spiritual Energy was continuous and immense that he could cultivate at a faster rate.

In another three days, or perhaps even less, Feng Wuchen was sure to step into the Third Layer of the Tianyuan Realm.

The very thought excited him.

Once Feng Wuchen reached the Third Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, even without the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, he would have the power to confront the South Palace family.

Just as Feng Wuchen was gaining the confidence to defeat Beiming Kong and reclaim the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, he was unaware that Beiming Kong had already broken through to the Sixth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm.

If Beiming Kong was correct, and in another fifteen days he could awaken Zangling Valley ancestors’ power, his strength would become even more formidable.

Of all this, Feng Wuchen remained completely oblivious.

At this time, Beiming Kong was once again hastening to the Yanhuo Empire, and this time he was determined to personally bring Feng Wuchen back with him.

…

Meanwhile, right after the war had ended in Jiuzhou, a significant figure made an appearance.

The news spread throughout the various cities of Jiuzhou.

Countless cultivators from across Jiuzhou were all rushing to the auction event.

They all wanted to know what this prominent individual looked like.

Upon receiving the news, the higher-ups from the four major powers of Jiuzhou made haste to the auction event.

The auction event was tremendously grand, with all the high-ranking officials mobilized to personally receive guests at the city gates. The welcoming procession stretched from the auction venue all the way to the gates, with the streets lined with a long red carpet.

Apart from the auction event’s high-ranking officials, top powerhouses from major forces such as the Fenglan Sect, Nangong family, Xiewang Sect, and Xiao family all respectfully gathered at the city gates for the reception.

The streets within the city were bustling with people, but none dared set foot on the red carpet. Numerous auction guards were stationed along every road.

Such an imposing display was something no one in Jiuzhou had ever seen before.

Exactly what kind of important personage was arriving, causing such trepidation among the great powers of Jiuzhou, such reverence?

“I wonder who the guest is, I’ve never seen the four great powers of Jiuzhou greet someone with such respect.”

“Even the Nangong family and Fenglan Sect haven’t recovered from their injuries, yet they have to come out to greet him–this person’s background must be frighteningly impressive!”

“Could it be a Heavenly Human Realm expert? Or perhaps a Sixth Grade Alchemist?”

“Impossible, what would a Heavenly Human Realm expert and a Sixth Grade Alchemist come to Jiuzhou for?”

Countless cultivators in Jiuzhou were discussing fervently, having never seen the auction treat anyone with such high regard.

At the city gates, the Shen Dan Masters bore solemn expressions, all waiting patiently.

“Chairman, with Zhang Shaoye’s sudden visit, what could be the purpose?” Xiehun asked curiously. Even with Xiehun’s status, he had to respectfully address the newcomer as Zhang Shaoye, which suggested the gravity of the person they were about to receive.

Chu Changkong shook his head and said, “This old man is also unaware. We only received the message yesterday, and it didn’t specify the reason, just that Zhang Shaoye would be passing through Jiuzhou.”

“Passing through Jiuzhou?” Leng Wuya and the others were slightly taken aback. Just passing through?

Was it really the case that just because he was passing through Jiuzhou, the auction and the four major powers were greeting him with such a massive setup?

Just how formidable was their Zhang Shaoye, as they referred to him?

Hearing Chu Changkong’s words, the guards were frightened, with each one of them very curious whether this Zhang Shaoye indeed had three heads and six arms.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

About half an hour later, three sonic booms suddenly resonated from high above, with three figures leisurely flying towards them in the sky.

The leader was a teenager around 18 or 19 years old, with only the cultivation of the first layer of the Tianyuan Realm. However, his aura was exceptionally robust and powerful.

The youth was dressed in white brocade, quite handsome, with black hair cascading over his shoulders. Under his sword-like eyebrows, a pair of jet-black eyes sparkled with a sharp light that commanded respect.

The two middle-aged men behind the youngster were terrifyingly powerful!

Both middle-aged men had cultivation levels at the eightfold depth of the Tianyuan Realm; either of them could annihilate the whole of Jiuzhou on a whim.

Outside the city gates, countless cultivators observed the trio with eyes filled with fear.

The extreme terror of their imposing presence, that irresistible oppressive force, scared everyone witless.

“Greetings, Zhang Shaoye!” Upon seeing the newcomers, at the city gates, Chu Changkong and other powerful individuals from the major forces of Jiuzhou all took to one knee, greeting him respectfully without daring any disrespect.

The terrifying strength of the eightfold Tianyuan Realm was enough to strike fear into the likes of Leng Wuya.

“Greetings, Zhang Shaoye!” Cultivators from the auction and the four major powers all respectfully knelt down, their voices of greeting echoing throughout the city, deafening to the ear.

Inside the city, along the streets leading to the auction, upon hearing the thunderous shouts, the expressions of the guards instantly became spirited and respectful.

“He’s here! Zhang Shaoye has arrived!”

“Zhang Shaoye? Which Zhang Shaoye? I don’t know who he is, but I’m envious indeed.”

“He must have a terrifying background, that much is certain.”

Inside the city, everyone was filled with anticipation, their faces lit with excitement.

At the city gates, Zhang Shaoye was astonished by the grand display of the Jiuzhou forces–a turnout beyond his expectations.

“Did you arrange this?” Zhang Shaoye asked with a slight frown, turning to the two men behind him.

Zhang Shaoye was somewhat displeased, clearly not fond of fanfare and wished to avoid being ostentatious.

One of them respectfully explained, “It was not our arrangement. We only passed on the message to Jiuzhou, saying that the young master would be passing through and asked them not to cause any disturbance.”

Zhang Shaoye remained silent. None of the Shen Dan Masters dared to speak, nor did they dare to rise.

“Rise,” Zhang Shaoye spoke indifferently.

“Please, Zhang Shaoye, everything has been prepared for you,” Chu Changkong invited with reverence, personally ushering Zhang Shaoye into the city.

Zhang Shaoye nodded, not saying much, and followed them into the city.

If the auction had arranged all this, it meant they held him in very high regard. A casual reception would have seemed disrespectful to Zhang Shaoye.

It would be embarrassing for Zhang Shaoye to ask them to disband now; after all, their intentions were good, and it wouldn’t be polite to not give face, would it?

“Is that the young man Zhang Shaoye? Even the Shen Dan Masters and the Chairman have to greet him in person!”

“What kind of identity does that boy have?”

“Zhang Shaoye? With such a significant background, why is his cultivation only at the first layer of the Tianyuan Realm? He’s not even on par with Nangong Jin!”

Within the city, the streets were abuzz with chatter, every eye fixed on Zhang Shaoye. Seeing the Shen Dan Masters and Chu Changkong personally greeting him, and top experts from the major powers following behind, everyone was profoundly shocked.
