The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2348 - 2337: Ten Thousand Sects’ Pilgrimage

Five days vanished like a fleeting moment.

During this brief span.

News concerning Ye Chenfeng's elimination of the ancestors from influential factions like Xiao Yao Palace beyond the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin rapidly disseminated throughout the Central State.

This information's influence seemed to surge, extending its reach into the Xuan State and Spiritual State.

For a considerable period.

The reputation of the Lord of Heavenly Origin became the paramount topic of conversation among all cultivators.

Previously, powers such as Xiao Yao Palace and Heavenly Sword Sect had orchestrated a narrative, portraying Ye Chenfeng as a nefarious entity.

However, subsequent to the complete annihilation of all ancestral figures, including Luo Qianhai and Hua Wanchuan, upon learning of their ancestors' demise.

The very next day, elders and disciples within organizations like Xiao Yao Palace began a mass exodus, renouncing their affiliations to avoid attracting further calamity.

Not long ago, Xiao Yao Palace and similar sects stood as preeminent forces within the Tian Xuan Realm; however, their sudden decline left these once-mighty sects bereft of members, relegating them to relics of the past.

The intricate world of cultivation.

Has consistently placed a premium on formidable power. For Ye Chenfeng to attain the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm at such a tender age, and with that immense strength, to vanquish seasoned veterans like Hua Wanchuan and others who had reached the Peak, Late, and Middle Stages of the Divine King Realm, inspired myriad young cultivators across diverse sects to emulate Ye Chenfeng.

Those sects that once harbored resentment toward Ye Chenfeng found themselves compelled to alter their stance, as the overarching power dynamic within the Tian Xuan Realm had decisively shifted.

Even formidable figures at the peak of the Divine King Realm, such as Hua Wanchuan and Luo Qianhai, had met their end; who else in the Tian Xuan Realm could possibly contend with Ye Chenfeng?

In the numerous cultivator cities scattered across the Central State, conversations invariably gravitated towards Ye Chenfeng.

Qitian City.

A secluded cultivator city that Ye Chenfeng traversed shortly after his emergence from a mysterious dimension.

At this juncture, within the ornate confines of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The esteemed ancestor of Qitian City’s City Lord’s Mansion, Pan Shixue, alongside the current City Lord Pan Zhiyi, and Pan Zhiyi's daughter, Pan Sisi, were convened in the main hall of the residence.

Had Ye Chenfeng not fortuitously crossed their path while en route to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, seeking passage via the City Lord’s Mansion's Teleportation Array, they might have already encountered the King of Hell; in a profound sense, Ye Chenfeng had acted as their savior!

At that decisive moment, after Ye Chenfeng had effortlessly subdued two demonic cultivators of the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm who were wreaking havoc within the City Lord’s Mansion, Pan Shixue and his kin were left in stunned disbelief. Particularly upon discovering Ye Chenfeng's identity as the Lord of Heavenly Origin, they began to surmise that his return to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin would inevitably unleash unprecedented turmoil.

The subsequent upheaval surpassed even their most vivid conjectures, and now, even the comparatively remote Qitian City was abuzz with the news from beyond the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Pan Shixue articulated with a sigh, "I never fathomed the sheer might possessed by the Lord of Heavenly Origin; factions like Xiao Yao Palace have been utterly dismantled, and now, the entirety of the Tian Xuan Realm effectively falls under the dominion of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin."

"The Lord of Heavenly Origin bestowed upon us the gift of life, and previously, when we were incapacitated by injuries, we were unable to journey to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin to offer our aid. Now that our wounds have largely mended, it is incumbent upon us to personally pay our respects at the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin."

Pan Zhiyi expressed his accord with a nod, while an uncommon spark flickered within Pan Sisi’s captivating eyes, signifying her burgeoning fascination with Ye Chenfeng.

The Demonic Flame Valley and the Murong clan, also prominent powers within the Tian Xuan Realm, had, in the past, provided covert support to Ye Chenfeng to varying degrees. Subsequently, influenced by the machinations of factions such as Xiao Yao Palace, which exerted pressure upon them to act against the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, the Demonic Flame Valley and the Murong clan made the decision to seal their gates for a period of fifty years.

Upon reaching this resolution.

During their subsequent period of enforced seclusion, members of the sect were expressly forbidden from venturing outside its boundaries, nor would the sect engage in any external conflicts; this strategy allowed the Demonic Flame Valley and the Murong clan to circumvent the mounting pressures.

Although the Demonic Flame Valley and the Murong clan had opted for a strategy of isolation, they remained adept at acquiring information from the outside world, a testament to their formidable strength, which was by no means inferior to that of factions like Xiao Yao Palace.

At this precise moment.

Within the private chambers of Mu Chengtong, the revered Sect Master of the Demonic Flame Valley.

The assembly included not only Mu Chengtong himself but also the august Family Head of the Murong clan, Murong Jiang, along with their respective heirs, Mu Yunliang and Murong Suyu.

A profound and enduring bond existed between the Demonic Flame Valley and the Murong clan, further cemented by their possession of a shared Teleportation Array connecting their territories.

Murong Jiang and his son Murong Suyu had utilized this very Teleportation Array to arrive at their current location.

Unsurprisingly, news of the events unfolding outside the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin had reached them, leaving them initially stunned and doubting the validity of the intel.

Yet, the confrontation outside the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin was meticulously captured by neutral parties utilizing specific recording methods.

Members of Demonic Flame Valley and the Murong family managed to acquire the battle recordings. Upon viewing them, they were rendered utterly speechless by sheer astonishment.

After they managed to compose themselves.

Mu Chengtong and Murong Jiang felt a profound sense of relief regarding their previous decision. Had they also chosen to oppose the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, their own factions might have ceased to exist by now.

To this very day.

Mu Chengtong and Murong Jiang found it difficult to accept that Ye Chenfeng had ascended to the Divine King Realm. His combat prowess was so overwhelmingly crushing that even if both their forces united against him now, they suspected they would be annihilated in an instant! It seemed like only yesterday they had met Ye Chenfeng, and in their eyes, he was merely an intriguing junior cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But then, Ye Chenfeng's ascent began, repeatedly shattering their prior perceptions and estimations.

Mu Chengtong let out a chuckle, remarking, "Our initial decision to abstain from confronting the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin and subsequently sealing our gates for fifty years did not sit well with some of our elder members. I can only imagine the looks on their faces now would be priceless. While we had a inkling of Ye Chenfeng's potential, I never fathomed he would rise so swiftly, completely dismantling Xiao Yao Palace. Now, he alone stands triumphantly above both our combined powers."

Murong Jiang nodded in agreement, stating, "It appears a visit to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin is in order. Our decision to voluntarily seclude ourselves was entirely a result of pressure from formidable powers like Xiao Yao Palace. A discreet visit should pose no issue."

Mu Yunliang and Murong Suyu, once celebrated among the five esteemed figures of the Central State, now realized that the other three had all met their demise at Ye Chenfeng's hands. Reflecting on their initial encounters with Ye Chenfeng, they hadn't taken his nascent strength seriously. However, Ye Chenfeng's growth had been so explosively rapid that it felt as though they hadn't even registered his advancement before being left irrevocably behind.

Now, even their own revered ancestors were no match for Ye Chenfeng, leaving Mu Yunliang and Murong Suyu with nothing but wry, bitter smiles.

As the City Lord's Mansion in Qitian City, along with Murong Jiang and his associates, began orchestrating their visit to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, every significant power across the Central State was engaged in deliberations on how best to approach the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin and what appropriate tribute gifts to prepare?

In a surprisingly short span of time, nearly every major Sect in the Central State was seen making its way towards the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

It genuinely gave the impression of a thousand Sects converging to pay their respects.

Ye Chenfeng was undoubtedly solidifying his position as the paramount sovereign of the Tian Xuan Realm.
