Chapter 2051: The Silver Eyebrow Venerable’s Sect
Chapter 2051: Chapter 2051: The Silver Eyebrow Venerable’s Sect
"Sect Leader, I have succeeded."
"Sect Master Uncle, I have also succeeded."
Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie withdrew their auras and returned to the peak of Misty Peak, bowing to Ye Feng.
"It’s good to have you back." Ye Feng pointed to two seats in front, and Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie immediately sat down, chatting leisurely with Ye Feng over tea, in a harmonious atmosphere.
"Now, you are both Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, your combat power is very high, considered among the strongest in the universe. However, you are ultimately not Heavenly Venerables, and you must continue to strive."
Ye Feng earnestly admonished.
Earlier, Ye Feng entered the Heavenly Venerable Dojo, where he saw a mysterious passage suspected to be Emperor Beihe smuggling out of the Cosmic Sea, and he followed, nearly stepping into the Origin of All Things, only to almost be mistaken for a stowaway by a mysterious Heavenly Venerable and suppressed to death.
The encounter was vivid in his memory.
From that moment, he realized the terrifying nature of Heavenly Venerables; even for him, he’d have to wait for his small universe to evolve into a Great Universe to possibly confront a Heavenly Venerable head-on.
And, that was just the most ordinary kind of Heavenly Venerable.
If encountering those whose combat power surpasses an ordinary Invincible Supreme several times or even tenfold, or the veterans among the Heavenly Venerable Realm, it would be dangerous.
If it really came to a fight, naturally it wouldn’t be a match.
Later, Ye Feng spent Primordial Source, consolidating the cultivation levels of Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie, and explained various cultivation essentials related to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable to them.
The two listened carefully, gaining significant insights.
...
Outside the Cosmic Sea.
In that ancient small courtyard.
The Invincible Old Man was slicing fish meat when he suddenly saw countless light threads float out from the tree, then disappear, causing him to smile slightly and shake his head.
"The Cosmic Sea is in turmoil, but what does that have to do with me? I just hope that kid can hold his ground!"
The Invincible Old Man murmured.
His level was too high; except for preventing Heavenly Venerables and stronger beings from entering the Cosmic Sea to cause turmoil, he would not interfere too much with other matters, letting things develop naturally.
Only in this way could the Cosmic Sea grow better and have more creativity.
In the void.
A light thread drifted afar and finally landed on the edge of an ancient Barbaric Ancient City, manifesting dozens of figures, namely Silver Eyebrow Venerable and others.
Thud thud thud!
The crowd landed, feeling the powerful force fields all around, even though they were at least at the Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Realm, they couldn’t break the space.
Even flying was slow.
This was even worse than in the Cosmic Sea.
Crunch!
Silver Eyebrow Venerable stepped down, manipulating his cosmic-grade pressure and hundred-layered law within to crush a rock beneath into powder.
"Damn Ye Feng, if it weren’t for him, how could we have created the Master of the Abyss, and been forced to ascend prematurely to the Origin of All Things by him?"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable was furious.
"Silver Eyebrow Venerable, is this the legendary Origin of All Things? It seems vast and boundless, everywhere filled with powerful treasures, even the flowers, plants, and trees beneath our feet seem to be top divine objects, hard to destroy."
Red Tail Venerable couldn’t help but ask.
Others looked around and found the Origin of All Things possessing ninety-nine blood-red suns illuminating the land, with grand landscapes, mountain peaks towering millions of miles high everywhere, filled with dangers.
"Yes, it’s your first time ascending to the Origin of All Things, there’s much you don’t understand, you must all listen to me. Otherwise, if suppressed into slaves by passing Heavenly Venerables, don’t blame me."
Silver Eyebrow Venerable said solemnly.
He was originally from the Abyss Clan, with notable talent, thus being accepted as a disciple by a Heavenly Venerable Realm expert, becoming senior brother to Venerable Hong Mei.
But later, Silver Eyebrow Venerable and Venerable Hong Mei couldn’t successfully prove the Heavenly Venerable Dao, only achieving Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, mocked by other senior and junior brothers who advanced to Heavenly Venerable Realm, eventually exiled to serve in the Cosmic Sea.
Fortunately, having a Heavenly Venerable as a backer, they lived well in the Cosmic Sea, advancing to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.
Initially, they planned to use the Cosmic Sea’s resources to elevate themselves to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and then return to the Origin of All Things to be viewed differently by other senior brothers, but the variable of the Master of the Abyss appeared.
Even his senior brother Venerable Hong Mei was killed in battle.
Reluctantly, they ascended early.
"Oh, a group of Quasi-Heavenly Venerables and Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, it’s just as well my herbal garden is short on labor, you’re perfect, hahaha!"
From above the sky, laughter suddenly resonated.
The crowd looked up in terror.
A hundred meters high.
An elderly man in a dark green Daoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk, looked down with a smile, countless luminous law wheels spinning behind him, he casually waved the horsetail whisk, remotely immobilizing the crowd.
"I’m a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, yet to be immobilized by that old man in the green robe with a single thought, how terrifying!"
Red Tail Venerable and others were startled and apprehensive.
So, this was a Heavenly Venerable!
Indeed, a powerful existence.
"Hehe, caught another batch of free labor, I can finally open a second herbal garden. Once I refine that elixir, I’ll surely break through."
The old Daoist above chuckled sinisterly.
Then, he waved the horsetail whisk in the air.
Without a sound, Silver Eyebrow Venerable and others’ bodies gradually floated into the air, shrinking throughout the process, drifting into the sleeve of the old man in the green robe.
"Heavenly Venerable, spare me, I am of the Abyss Clan!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable hurriedly revealed his trump card, otherwise, he might really be taken to the herbal garden as labor.
"Abyss Clan?" The old man in the green robe raised an eyebrow, quickly waving his sleeve, dropping Silver Eyebrow Venerable and others to the ground, restoring their original forms, "Can you prove it? If you can’t, then go mine!"
At these words, everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, eyes falling on Silver Eyebrow Venerable.
"Heavenly Venerable, I have proof."
Silver Eyebrow Venerable hurriedly touched his brow, withdrawing a unique divine talisman and handed it over.
The old man in the green robe glanced at the divine talisman, raised an eyebrow, confirming Silver Eyebrow Venerable was indeed of the Abyss Clan, a significant force not to be provoked.
Moreover, the divine talisman was left by a Heavenly Venerable.
The opponent’s cultivation level was above his.
That was even more to be feared.
"Hehe, seeing as you have the protection of a Heavenly Venerable from the Abyss Clan, I’ll let you go, but everyone else must stay and work in my herbal garden."
The old man in the green robe didn’t plan to let everyone go.
"This..." Silver Eyebrow Venerable glanced at Red Tail Venerable and others, gritting his teeth, "Thank you, Lord Heavenly Venerable, I’ll take my leave."
With that said, he left quickly.
Before long, only a fleeting escape light of Silver Eyebrow Venerable was visible in the sky, the true body long gone.
"You!!!"
Red Tail Venerable and others didn’t expect Silver Eyebrow Venerable to abandon them like this, furious beyond words.
"Just ascended from the Cosmic Sea, huh? Seeing as you didn’t ascend through the Ascension Pool but appeared in these wild and remote regions, you must be stowaways. I, by the heavenly will, shall punish you... hmm, I sentence you to work in my herbal garden for life."
The old man in the green robe chuckled mischievously.
"No...." Red Tail Venerable and others wanted to plead for mercy but were already absorbed into the old man in the green robe’s sleeve, their brows imprinted with slave markings, turning into slaves.
"Hehe, I’m getting more and more perverse."
The old man in the green robe gently stroked his long beard, sighing twice, hands behind his back, leisurely flying towards the distance.
Such is the harshness of the Origin of All Things.
Heavenly Venerable Realm is but a considerable power.
Those without this cultivation either rely on a Heavenly Venerable’s banner, nestle in a city guarded by a Heavenly Venerable, or be suppressed by a Heavenly Venerable as slaves.
Starting from the Thirty-four Layer Immortal Emperor, one can attain immortality, which is why there are so many immortals in the Origin of All Things.
Here, the population is severely overpopulated.
Inequitable resource allocation naturally leads to various distorted occurrences, such as Heavenly Venerables oppressing other cultivators to be servants, aiding them in tasks.
Moreover, some demons will massacre everywhere, boosting their cultivation level by devouring other low-level cultivators.
Or perhaps, raising gu!
In addition, various bizarre occurrences make the Origin of All Things extremely dangerous.
Without reaching the Heavenly Venerable Realm, it’s hard to gain a foothold.
...
A Primordial Divine Mountain.
This place stretches over several hundred million miles, with the highest peak reaching eight million miles. Surrounded by various laws and Dao rhythm, merely meditating here can accelerate one’s cultivation a thousand miles a day.
However, only Heavenly Venerables are qualified to reside at the highest peak.
Others with lower cultivation levels can only live on the side peaks or even worse, in the valleys.
Main Peak, halfway up the mountain.
Silver Eyebrow Venerable relied on his Divine Talisman to finally arrive here, kneeling in front of a cave abode.
"Master, please uphold justice for your disciple!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable continually wept.
But the door of the cave abode remained shut.
Silver Eyebrow Venerable also noticed that the message talisman sent earlier with Venerable Hong Mei was now floating in front of the door, seemingly not received yet.
"Master is indeed in closed-door cultivation!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable realized this.
"Oh, isn’t it Third Senior Brother? How come you’ve left the Cosmic Sea... Eh, you’ve only just advanced to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, I thought you had achieved the position of a Heavenly Venerable!"
A sarcastic voice came.
Silver Eyebrow Venerable glanced at the newcomer, discovering it was a handsome golden monkey exuding an awe-inspiring pressure not inferior to the presence of the old green-robed Daoist, surrounded by countless law light wheels, appearing divine.
"Fifth Junior Brother, congratulations on proving yourself as a Heavenly Venerable."
Silver Eyebrow Venerable lowered his eyebrows and remained humble, dare not act presumptuously in front of this junior brother.
After all, the other party is a Heavenly Venerable.
"Let’s skip the pleasantries. Where is Third Senior Brother? Why hasn’t he come back?" Fifth Junior Brother asked.
"He died in battle." Silver Eyebrow Venerable sighed. His master had a total of five disciples; Venerable Hong Mei was ranked third, Silver Eyebrow ranked fourth, and the golden monkey, the youngest fifth junior brother, was the most talented.
"Died?" Fifth Junior Brother raised an eyebrow. Although he looked down on Venerable Hong Mei and Silver Eyebrow Venerable, they were ultimately fellow sect brothers. Venerable Hong Mei’s death would naturally bring shame to the sect, and revenge was necessary, so he asked in a deep voice, "Who killed him?"
"The mutated Master of the Abyss." Silver Eyebrow Venerable hurriedly explained the causes and effects, also inquiring why his master hadn’t responded to his plea for help.
"Master is in closed-door cultivation, pursuing higher realms, so naturally, he doesn’t have the time to respond." Fifth Junior Brother didn’t expect the Cosmic Sea to be so interesting, even giving birth to a mutated version of the Master of the Abyss, as well as prodigies like Ye Feng, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, and Ancestor of Demons.
If he could possess them...
Thinking of this, Fifth Junior Brother licked his lips.
"Master is about to break through again? Congratulations!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable marveled.
Heavenly Venerable, corresponding to the Heavenly Dao Realm.
This realm is considered the endpoint of cultivation, strength-wise the top level in any universe, but in the Origin of All Things, it’s merely the starting point for cultivation.
Heavenly Dao Realm is also divided into small realms.
Newly advanced Heavenly Venerables are called First Turn, followed by Second Turn, Third Turn... up to Eight Turn, Nine Turn.
Nine is the pinnacle.
Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable is the highest level in the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Silver Eyebrow Venerable’s master had long been at the peak of the Third Turn Heavenly Venerable. If he’s about to break through now, he’d at least become a Four-Turn, considered middle level among Heavenly Venerables.
That’s already powerful enough.
Countless monstrous prodigies get stuck below the Third Turn Heavenly Venerable after advancing to Heavenly Venerable. His master has the potential to become a Four Turn, which is truly remarkable.
"Humph, breaking through to a Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable isn’t that easy. Even I, with extraordinary talent, am currently stuck at the peak of a First Turn Heavenly Venerable, unable to make a breakthrough."
Fifth Junior Brother snorted discontentedly.
"Fourth Junior Brother, Fifth Junior Brother, it’s you two! Eh, why hasn’t Third Brother returned?"
Just then, another voice was heard.
The two turned around to see a white ape in a red robe approaching, similarly exuding a strong pressure of the Heavenly Dao Realm, though slightly weaker than Fifth Junior Brother.
This was an ordinary First Turn Heavenly Venerable.
"Second Senior Brother." Silver Eyebrow Venerable saluted.
Fifth Junior Brother merely nodded lightly, seemingly not regarding the Second Senior Brother, who was also a Heavenly Venerable.
"Fifth Junior Brother, you’ve almost broken through to a Second Turn. Indeed, you are the most gifted among us. By contrast, Fourth Junior Brother, why have you returned as a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, should you not still be watching over the Cosmic Sea?"
Second Senior Brother acted brazenly.
"Second Senior Brother, Fifth Junior Brother, I beseech you both to uphold justice for me and the fallen Third Senior Brother!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable hurriedly knelt to cry his grievances.
"Junior Brother, what happened?" Second Senior Brother Baiyuan, being kind-hearted, cared for his junior brothers, hence swiftly inquired about the details.
Silver Eyebrow Venerable once again recounted the incidents.
"This is outrageous!"
Upon learning of Third Brother Venerable Hong Mei’s death and the emergence of a figure like Ye Feng in the universe, Second Senior Brother Baiyuan widened his eyes, "Rest assured, I will take action!"
"Truly?" Silver Eyebrow Venerable rejoiced.
Second Senior Brother Baiyuan was a First Turn Heavenly Venerable. Although unable to enter the Cosmic Sea in full form, dispatching a soul fragment carrying a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon inside could accomplish great feats.
"With Master in closed-door cultivation and Senior Brother also in retreat, I, being Second Senior Brother, am hence the sect’s decision-maker, naturally responsible for eliminating the sect’s enemies. Fifth Junior Brother, are you willing to act?" Second Senior Brother Baiyuan asked.
Fifth Junior Brother the golden monkey smiled, "Second Senior Brother, I’m willing to act, but the corpse of that person named Ye Feng must be left for me to devour and refine."
"Agreed." Second Senior Brother Baiyuan nodded.
"Great, then let’s start preparing the descent formation, sending the soul fragment into the Cosmic Sea. Since a Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon cannot be sent into the Cosmic Sea, then let’s send some Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons. Moreover, we can send several sets inside."
Fifth Junior Brother the golden monkey added.
"Alright, then it’s settled." Second Senior Brother Baiyuan nodded, preparing to arrange the setup.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A heavy, powerful step approached. From a distance, it pressed heavily upon everyone, causing them to look towards the newcomer, immediately brightening their eyes.
On a ground paved with dark gold Origin Stones.
A strange ape with a green face and tusks approached, with green hair reaching towards the sky, behind it two dazzling law light wheels, emitting radiant, dazzling waves of laws.
In the Origin of All Things, two law light wheels signify a Second Turn Heavenly Venerable.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on advancing to a Second Turn Heavenly Venerable!" Second Senior Brother Baiyuan hurriedly saluted.
"Senior Brother, please uphold justice!" Fourth Junior Brother Silver Eyebrow Venerable hurriedly knelt to cry his grievances.
"He actually broke through!" Fifth Junior Brother the golden monkey’s expression changed, unexpectedly, his Senior Brother had still advanced one step ahead to breach the realm.
"Third Junior Brother Venerable Hong Mei died in battle, a pity, but don’t worry, I will act."
Senior Brother Qingyuan sternly stated.
Previously, he had already heard the narration from Fourth Junior Brother Silver Eyebrow Venerable and knew the causes and effects.
His eyes were full of coldness, especially the flicker of law light deep within his pupils, which even made Fifth Junior Brother the golden monkey, at the peak of First Turn Heavenly Venerable, shudder.
[PS: This Chapter is over 4200 words, first laying the groundwork for the setting of the Origin of All Things. After a while, the plot should develop there, good afternoon!]
