The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2219 - 2208: Fifty Years of Seclusion

Ye Chenfeng entered the mountain range.

As he moved as far as possible away from the imposing presence in the east, he chiseled out an entrance on a mountain wall. After entering, he temporarily sealed the entrance with a casual flick of his hand.

Inside the cave he had created, Ye Chenfeng lit a fire. He had focused all his energy on speed just moments ago, leaving even the bloodstains at the corner of his lips unwiped!

After wiping his lips with the back of his hand, Ye Chenfeng felt a lingering fear. Despite being at the Peak of the Second Layer of the Heavenly God Realm, with combat abilities far surpassing the average powerhouse of this realm, he still couldn’t withstand just a distant aura?

After taking a deep breath, Ye Chenfeng internally questioned, "Old Bai, Old Hei, what levels exist beyond the Divine King Realm? What level was that ghostly being you mentioned earlier at?"

Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, replied, "Little guy, beyond the Divine King Realm, there are the Divine Venerable Realm and the Divine Emperor Realm. Like the Divine King Realm, these two major levels are also divided into Early, Middle, Late, and Peak stages. Only by breaking through to the Divine Emperor Realm can one enter the legendary Eternal Life."

"That ghostly being earlier was probably around the Early Divine Venerate Realm. Back in the day, Old Hei and I were also at the Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm. There’s a significant hurdle between the Heavenly God Realm and the Divine King Realm, and many people spend their entire lives stuck at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm."

"Once you cross into the Divine King Realm, the pace of breakthroughs slows down. Especially upon entering the Divine Venerable Realm, many powerhouses take thousands of years just to advance a minor level, let alone to the Divine Emperor Realm above the Divine Venerable Realm."

There are levels beyond the Divine King Realm, the Divine Venerable Realm, and the Divine Emperor Realm?

One must break through to the Divine Emperor Realm to reach the legendary Eternal Life?

Ye Chenfeng pondered over Wu Fengxian’s words for a while before asking again, "Old Bai, Old Hei, what is this small secret realm?"

Old Hei, Jiang Yuntian, answered, "This is an extraterrestrial battlefield from the Ancient Era, known as Death’s Darkness."

"Back in the Ancient Era, especially in its early stages, Death’s Darkness was used as a trial ground for disciples of various sects, filled with all kinds of powerful ghostly beings. Disciples from different sects would compete by killing these beings."

"However, this Death’s Darkness mysteriously disappeared afterward. Old Bai and I entered it only once and didn’t fully explore it."

"I didn’t expect that, after so many years, a ghostly being in the Divine Venerable Realm would be born here. Fortunately, in Death’s Darkness, these beings only come out at night. During the day, they remain inactive. You just need to survive one night here, and you’ll be safe by daybreak tomorrow."

After hearing the explanation from Old Hei, Jiang Yuntian, Ye Chenfeng conscientiously restrained his aura to the extreme, making sure not to alert the ghostly beings to his presence.

It seems I’ll have to hide in this cave for the night. Ye Chenfeng diligently managed his internal injuries. Ever since entering Death’s Darkness, the Space Law of the world has been restricted, temporarily severing his connection to the Chaos Ring.

Following these days of continuous breakthroughs, the training methods for the Dragon God Overturning Seal’s three imprints, which could break the sky, have already appeared in Ye Chenfeng’s mind. However, now isn’t the time to practice the third imprint. For now, he plans to fully explore Death’s Darkness, then immediately head to the Nine Nether Ice Lion’s Lion King Lineage to find Bai Xiaorou.

...

Meanwhile.

Back when Ye Chenfeng killed Jin Zhiteng and others.

Inside the temporary manor in Spirit Artifact City where the Heavenly Sword Sect resided.

Luo Qianjiang, Luo Youfang, Jin Yangcai, and Hua Liukong had all gathered because Jin Zhiteng and the Elder they had sent for a simple exploration of the small secret realm had all had their Lifebound Tokens shattered, signifying their deaths.

To Luo Qianjiang and others, a brief probe into the small secret realm seemed risk-free, considering they had received guidance from the Xues on entering it. The Xues had been exploring the realm for a while, so who knew such a disaster would happen?

Among Luo Qianjiang and his associates were two relatively unfamiliar old men, one being Jin Nanhuo, another ancestor from the Jins, holding strength at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, and the other being Hua Fanjiang, an ancestor from the Heavenly Sword Sect at the Mid Divine King Realm.

Upon exiting seclusion, Jin Nanhuo and Hua Fanjiang promptly headed to Spirit Artifact City. As for other ancestors from the three sects, some were still in seclusion, and emerging from it is no simple task.

Meanwhile.

Xiao Yao Palace was fervently organizing an alliance, painting Ye Chenfeng as an unequivocal devil. They claimed that behind Ye Chenfeng stood powerful cultivators of the Divine King Realm, intending to overturn the entire Tian Xuan Realm and even aiming to unite it all.

Xiao Yao Palace urged the sects of the Central Continent to unite and form an alliance, with many factions willing to join the alliance in recent days. Originally, Xiao Yao Palace also sought to press the Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs into joining the alliance, taking a stance of righteousness, implying that if they didn’t join, their reputation in the Tian Xuan Realm would greatly diminish.

However, the Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs directly declared a fifty-year mountain seal.

In the Tian Xuan Realm, it’s customary that once a force declares a mountain seal, no one from the sect may step out. During the sealing period, everyone must stay within, and the sealed sect won’t interfere with external happenings. It equates to being a bystander, and external sects cannot provoke them during this period, following a longstanding rule of the Tian Xuan Realm no force dares to break, not even Xiao Yao Palace.

The decision of the Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs to seal their mountains for fifty years left Xiao Yao Palace feeling like they had punched into cotton.

The atmosphere in the hall grew somewhat solemn.

Hua Liukong said, "I just received a distant message. It should be from one of our Heavenly Sword Sect Elders before his death, containing only two words, ’Ye Chen.’"

"I believe everyone has some understanding in their hearts. Our Heavenly Sword Sect Elder’s message being interrupted suggests he wanted to say ’Ye Chenfeng.’ It seems this incident also relates to Ye Chenfeng. Who would have thought he’d also learn of that small secret realm?"

Luo Youfang frowned, "Ye Chenfeng again? Who supports him from behind? We must swiftly capture the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, and it’s evident that Ye Chenfeng’s people are exploring the small secret realm."

Jin Yangcai’s expression was grim, his heart seething with hatred. His family’s first genius, Jin Zhiteng, was ultimately dead, so how could he be pleased? He remarked, "It’s incredibly hard to increase even one minor level after crossing into the Divine King Realm. That kid claims to come from a Lower Plane, suggesting his backer is probably around the Mid Divine King Realm."

"Even in the Central Continent, how many are above the Mid Divine King Realm? If his backer were truly above it, he would not have needed to flee from Spirit Artifact City."

Hua Fanjiang shook his head, "Those appearing in the small secret realm may not be Divine King Realm experts. If that kid truly came from the Lower Plane, there wouldn’t be many Divine Kings backing him. Besides, the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin needs Divine King Realm experts to hold it down. Let me explore that small secret realm to uncover the truth!"

Jin Nanhuo promptly responded, "I’ll go too. How can I swallow this grievance when someone dared to attack my family’s first genius?"

With Hua Fanjiang’s strength at the Mid Divine King Realm and Jin Nanhuo’s at the Initial Stage of the same realm, the two exploring the small secret realm should face little trouble. At worst, they can jointly escape if necessary.

Luo Qianjiang furrowed his brows, stating, "Brother Jin, Brother Hua, someone needs to oversee Spirit Artifact City, so I’ll stay here. Once you return, I’ll have the alliance fully established."

Having reached a conclusion.

Hua Fanjiang and Jin Nanhuo immediately headed to the teleportation array, preparing for a direct transfer to the secret realm’s location.
