The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2209 - 2198: Admiration! Reverence!

The Artifact Refinement Pavilion is most skilled in artifact refining.

Moreover, the Artifact Refinement Pavilion has existed for a long, long time.

The Immortal Artifact, the Azure Barrier, was passed down by the founding master of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion.

In the entire Tian Xuan Realm, Immortal Artifacts are exceedingly rare. There are only a few half-step Immortal Artifacts, and the fact that the Artifact Refinement Pavilion possesses an Immortal Artifact is known only to the ancestor Tan Yuanwu. Tan Yuanwu hasn’t even told Pavilion Masters like Lin Shouping; otherwise, Tan Yuanwu might not be able to bring this Immortal Artifact out.

Originally, Tan Yuanwu wanted to bring the Instrument Domain to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. Unfortunately, carrying the Instrument Domain is extremely troublesome. If his original plan could have proceeded smoothly, Lin Shouping informing Luo Qianjiang and the others made it impossible for Tan Yuanwu to take the Instrument Domain away.

After Tan Yuanwu disclosed the Immortal Artifact, the Azure Barrier, they sensed the aura of the Initial Stage of the first layer of the Heavenly God Realm on Ye Chenfeng. Naturally, they couldn’t help but be shocked. Upon hearing that Ye Chenfeng had also broken through to the Eighth Grade Talisman Master, they truly didn’t know how to describe their feelings at that moment.

After quite a while.

Tan Yuanwu and the others finally returned to their senses, but they were still tongue-tied. They became more certain that their choice this time was absolutely correct. If Ye Chenfeng can break through at this speed, then it would be only a matter of time before he crosses into the Divine King Realm.

Tan Yuanwu’s hand revealed a cyan broad sword.

This broad sword lacked a sharp edge; its blade was unevenly rugged, making it incapable of harming anyone.

However, the blade of this peculiar broad sword was covered in dense, intricately arranged lines that formed strange patterns on the sword’s body.

A terrifying power emanated from this strange broad sword, causing an unbearable suffocating feeling.

Tan Yuanwu said, "Young Ye, this is the Immortal Artifact, the Azure Barrier. It merely takes the form of a sword."

Speaking of which.

Tan Yuanwu fervently injected Spiritual Energy into the broad sword, "Bang!" He fiercely stabbed the broad sword into the ground, with more than half of the blade embedded in the plaza’s stone tiles.

This plaza is right in the center of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

After the broad sword plunged into the ground, Tan Yuanwu’s hand remained gripping the hilt, continuously channeling Spiritual Energy into the broad sword.

The lines on the cyan broad sword seemed to come alive, like writhing earthworms.

Tan Yuanwu, at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm, widened his eyes slightly; veins bulged on the back of his gripping hand, pouring his bodily Spiritual Energy madly into the sword’s body.

The broad sword stuck in the ground began to tremble.

With a "Boom!"

Brilliant cyan light shot up from the broad sword, exploding in the night sky like a beautiful firework.

The exploding torrent of cyan light descended slowly, forming a protective barrier directly outside the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

After the cyan protective barrier formed.

Tan Yuanwu finally released the sword hilt from his grasp. He was sweating profusely, his complexion starkly pale, and his legs wobbled, the aura of a Peak Heavenly God Realm expert vanished entirely, leaving no trace of his former strongman demeanor.

After taking a deep breath, Tan Yuanwu said, "Activating the Azure Barrier is the most strenuous task, but once it’s activated, things get a bit easier."

"Once the Azure Barrier is activated, as long as a person at the Initial Stage of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm keeps injecting Spiritual Energy into it, the protective layer covering the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin can resist experts at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm."

"Of course, the premise is that the opponent doesn’t possess an Immortal Artifact, but even if the opponent does have an Immortal Artifact, the Azure Barrier can still resist it. As long as multiple Seventh Layer Heavenly God Realm experts simultaneously inject Spiritual Energy into it, the defensive strength of the Azure Barrier can continuously increase."

"However, even without attacks, the Azure Barrier requires some Spiritual Energy maintenance. Therefore, it’s necessary to arrange for a Heavenly God Realm Seventh Layer person to inject Spiritual Energy regularly each day."

Ye Chenfeng watched the Azure Barrier enveloping the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. He already knew from Old Hei that this Azure Barrier was a lower-grade among Immortal Artifacts, but possessing such an Immortal Artifact in the Tian Xuan Realm is not easy.

Using the Azure Barrier to defend the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin is certainly advantageous. Ye Chenfeng could also set up a defensive array, but creating an array capable of repelling a Divine King Realm expert can’t be accomplished in a day or two; it would require a month at least. Currently, time is the most precious thing for Ye Chenfeng.

Moreover, the protection of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin isn’t solely reliant on the Azure Barrier; there’s also the ancient Demon Vine that hasn’t yet appeared in everyone’s sight! Soon, the ancient Demon Vine will fully mature, and when it does, it could entangle and kill mid Divine King Realm experts.

Therefore, the ancient Demon Vine is the real trump card and hidden ace in Ye Chenfeng’s possession.

Ye Chenfeng expressed his gratitude to Tan Yuanwu and the others, "I greatly appreciate your assistance this time, Senior Tan. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."

Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan’s faces showed impatience. Just when Tan Yuanwu and the others arrived, they were consulting Ye Chenfeng on how to break into the Eighth Grade Talisman Master. For talisman fanatics like them, what could be more important than advancing their talisman grade?

Yu Shiqing said awkwardly, "Young Ye, should we continue our previous discussion? We’ve seen the Immortal Artifact, the Azure Barrier, and Old Tan has activated it."

Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan brought a group of Talisman Masters to help, making Ye Chenfeng truly grateful to them. To live and die together at times like this, he already considered them part of his own. Being generous towards those he considers his own has always been Ye Chenfeng’s approach.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, "Senior Yu, Senior Duan, to advance to the Eighth Grade Talisman Master is mostly inexpressible, so you both should sit cross-legged on the ground."

Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan did not hesitate, following Ye Chenfeng’s instructions.

After they sat cross-legged on the ground, Ye Chenfeng placed his palms respectively on Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan’s foreheads.

Having lingered at the Seventh Rank of Talisman Master for a long time, Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan had a solid foundation; they merely lacked experience and knowledge to break into the Eighth Rank. Since the Talisman Master Pavilion never had an Eighth Grade Talisman Master inheritance, naturally, they didn’t know how to break through to the Eighth Rank.

The supreme inheritance Ye Chenfeng acquired, the "Talismans," contained experiences and teachings for breaking into the Eighth Rank, which he imparted into Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan’s minds.

Sitting on the ground, Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan originally displayed no expressions. After feeling the input into their minds, their expressions abruptly became serious and solemn.

Ye Chenfeng withdrew his hands, and Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan closed their eyes to comprehend.

As time passed, no one opened their mouth.

Suddenly.

The aura around Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan changed slightly, though their strength remained unchanged. They quickly opened their eyes, an intense excitement bursting from their faces as they eagerly stood up, bowing deeply towards Ye Chenfeng in unison.

With an expression of respect, Yu Shiqing gratefully addressed Ye Chenfeng, "Brother Ye, I broke through to the Eighth Rank, thanks to you! Otherwise, I wouldn’t know if I could ever reach it. In the future, call me Old Yu if you don’t mind."

Duan Dongyan expressed his admiration, "Brother Ye, you are the person I, Duan Dongyan, respect most. Breaking into the Eighth Rank in my lifetime leaves me with no regrets. If anyone dares harm Brother Ye, they’ll have to step past my corpse first."

Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan had been stuck at the Seventh Rank for so long without breaking through, but Ye Chenfeng’s guidance quickly moved them to the Eighth Rank. They’re even aware that following Ye Chenfeng might offer hope for advancing to the Ninth Grade someday. Their hearts genuinely respect and admire Ye Chenfeng.

They’re thoroughly convinced of Ye Chenfeng’s proficiency in talisman arts.
