Chapter 391: The Gold-Ranked Assassin, Suspected to be an Old Acquaintance!
Peng Jie’s body was pierced by the Light of Judgement, his Divine Soul directly perished under the Power of Judgement.
“Dingling”
Suddenly, a pleasant metallic sound rang out, making Ye Feng’s eyebrows raise as he looked over.
He saw something that looked like a wooden plaque but emitted a metallic sound.
Ye Feng casually beckoned, and the object arrived in the palm of his hand.
This was the first time he had seen something that even the Light of Judgement could not obliterate.
“Eh?”
Looking at the front of the wooden plaque, there was an engraving of a majestic and huge stele; on the back, there was a time that was ticking.
There was only twenty-nine and a half days left.
“Could this possibly be the number of challenge attempts for the Heaven and Earth Stele?”
“There’s only twenty-nine days left? Expires after that?”
A hint of curiosity crossed Ye Feng’s eyes, followed by his figure vanishing and reappearing back at the old site of the Yang Family.
“Brother Yang, I have something to ask you!”
Ye Feng then handed the wooden plaque to Yang Zhen.
“I won’t hide it from Brother Ye, with my strength and status, I cannot obtain the challenge attempts of the Heaven and Earth Stele, but I suppose that this wooden plaque is most likely related to the Heaven and Earth Stele.”
“For safety’s sake, I think it’s better for Brother Ye to go there in person.”
“As for the Senro Myriad Secret Realm matter, I will contact you in advance when there is a change with the Secret Realm Key.”
“That’s fine!”
Ye Feng nodded his head, of course understanding Yang Zhen’s thoughts; the kid was probably scared silly by this battle.
And during this time, he naturally found out about the situation with the Heaven and Earth Stele, and the chance to reap benefits was something he liked the most.
In a dark weightless space, akin to an infinite starry sky, it was extremely easy to get lost in.
Suddenly, a delicate figure appeared in this space.
“Luo Xian, I have summoned you here for a task!”
A lofty and icy voice sounded, followed by a message materializing in front of the delicate figure.
“Kill this person!”
“Don’t disappoint me!”
The delicate figure nodded slightly, revealing an astonishingly beautiful face, and her figure disappeared directly into the space.
“What a pity, this sister couldn’t keep hidden and was discovered by the people of Xuanming Tao Palace!”
“Otherwise, I would have liked to taste the flavor of the Xuanyin Constitution.”
“But getting the attention of Xuanming Tao Palace is worthwhile anyway!”
“Is it you…”
The moment the delicate figure left the dark space, a hint of confusion passed through her eyes as if she was recalling something.
And her speed was incomparably fast, moving through the space as smoothly as a fish through water.
“What are you looking at?”
A burly man with a strong build glanced at a somewhat emaciated young man beside him.
Hearing the burly man’s words, the young man withdrew his gaze and turned toward him.
“No… It seemed like I saw an acquaintance, but upon closer thought, it’s not likely to be her.”
“It’s fortuitous that we chose to conceal our cultivation levels back then. Now it looks like that was the most correct decision.”
“The strength of this Xuanming Tao Palace far surpasses that of the Ascension Camp and Eternity Camp.”
“The ordinary disciples here are all above the Eternal Realm, inner sect disciples are above level five Eternal Realm, and to become core members, one has to reach the Ninth Level of Eternal Boundary.”
“As for direct disciples, they need to be Peak Emperors.”
“And for the level of Saint Son and Saint Daughter, at least Extreme Emperors.”
The burly man’s words made the young man nod.
These two were none other than the long-lost Primordial Dragon Kun Kunming and the World Tree’s wood language, Mu Yu.
It was quite a coincidence that after the two of them had slain an Eternal Emperor of the Ascension Camp in Ascension City, without knowing the situation in the World of Eternity, they naturally changed appearances and suppressed their cultivation to the first level of the Eternal Realm.
After all, the identity of an Eternal Emperor would make many things more convenient in the World of Eternity.
Then, as they were on their way, they encountered an unbeatable emperor from the Ascension Camp.
The emperor did not recognize their identities, but intended to capture them for his use; naturally, neither of them wanted to become prisoners, so they joined forces and retreated safely from the hands of the unbeatable emperor.
They arrived at a place known as the Void Sky Stream, where they encountered a clear and pure Eternal Emperor.
Here, there were quite a number of Eternal Emperors, ranging from the first to the ninth level, including Peak, Extreme, and Unparalleled Emperors.
Only after some inquiry did the two understand that the Xuanming Tao Palace was recruiting disciples.
What kind of strength must it have for even ordinary disciples to be in the Eternal Realm—a scale of recruitment that even the two great camps could not hope to possess.
It should be known that in both the Eternity Camp and the Ascension Camp, there were still many cultivators below the Eternal Realm.
Eternal Realm status was among the most supreme in both camps.
Thus, with a trace of curiosity, they decided to wait together and see what kind of entity the Xuanming Tao Palace was.
Unexpectedly, the Xuanming Tao Palace had a keen and ruthless selection process that also included the two of them.
Both of them had originally intended to find out about the Xuanming Tao Palace’s situation, so they went with the flow and entered the Tao Palace.
After some time, the two of them had gained a fairly clear understanding of the Tao Palace.
The reason why the Xuanming Tao Palace was so coveted by all the Eternal Realm cultivators in the World of Eternity was because of its transcendent status.
Even the twenty-four unbeatable emperors of the Ascension and Eternity Camps had to bow their heads in fealty.
Even the Killer Organization Yuan, which was said to have the power to assassinate unbeatable emperors within the World of Eternity, appeared like infant anomalies before the Xuanming Tao Palace.
It was not because there were many unbeatable emperors within the Xuanming Tao Palace, nor because there were many Eternal Emperors there, but because the Palace Master of the Xuanming Tao Palace was truly the number one being in the World of Eternity.
With unfathomable cultivation, there were rumors that he had transcended the Eternal Realm, but others said that he was only one step into the Transcendence Realm.
Regardless, his strength was undeniably the greatest in the World of Eternity, and even all the unbeatable emperors combined were not his match.
That’s why the Xuanming Tao Palace possessed such a lofty and supreme status.
“However, the Xuanming Tao Palace has been bustling recently. It seems a Saint Heir has just taken in a new concubine, and this concubine is said to have strong talent. I’ve heard that the Saint Heir plans to cultivate her into a Saintess,” added Kunming.
Kunming’s words made Mu Yu think once more of the figure he had seen earlier.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the figure he had just seen was the new concubine acquired by that Saint Heir.
Her strength is impressive, having reached the Peak Emperor Realm; no wonder even the Saint Heir, an Extreme Emperor, values her so highly.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Ye Feng, who was hastening toward the direction of the Heaven and Earth Stele, suddenly stopped in the void and stepped out from the space, looking behind him.
“Swoosh!”
Two minutes later, a woman dressed in a white immortal skirt appeared before him.
This encounter caused Ye Feng to freeze in hesitation, and the woman in the white immortal skirt also paused for a moment upon seeing him.
