Chapter 1201: Chapter 48: Entry Begins (1/3)

He ate a hundred herbs and created a thousand skills, ignited candle flames to illuminate the vault of heaven.

The creator of Tianyu, the first Human Sovereign of the Desolate Human Clan… single-handedly perfected the foundation of all current Furnace Methods of the Human Clan, established Tianyu, protecting all humans and the myriad beings willing to submit to humans. He is both the ancestor of humans and the ancestor of Dao.

There is even a legend that even the patron god of Tianyu, [Candlelight Divine Venerable], was either enlightened or at least awakened by the Human Sovereign.

As for the Heavenly Mandate upheld by the other party, ‘Observing All Phenomena’, if there is a parallel, it would be ‘Nature Master’ on Huai Xu’s side.

Of course, there are some small transformations. The two similar Heavenly Mandates seem to have slight differences in the details of their abilities, but what exactly those differences are, Yu Feng does not know. He speculates that it is due to the difference in the World’s Great Dao.

The most perplexing point for Yu Feng is that ‘Heavenly Mandate’ frequently appears throughout Huai Xu’s history, but in the Great Wilderness, it only appeared once.

At least, it only appeared once on the surface.

“Ultimately, since the Huai Xu Realm is a Great Realm with Life Chart Martial Way as its foundation, the Heavenly Mandate might appear more frequently.”

Unable to figure out this issue, Yu Feng shook his head, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart: “Nature Master, An Jing. A person theoretically on par with the initial Human Sovereign, the First Ancestor Your Majesty… I really wish to meet him and converse face to face!”

Seeing An Jing is actually not difficult. As long as you can attend the great banquet, you will surely catch a glimpse from afar.

But face-to-face conversation tests hard strength.

“There are too many competitors.”

Thinking this, Yu Feng turned around and looked at the ‘Nine Dragon Arena’ behind him.

Built upon a specially designated large Cloud Vortex, it provides a large arena for many dragons of the Heaven Sea Dragon Court and the distinguished talents of the Ten Continents. Ever since its construction, it has never been vacant, with martial artists and True Spirits, who are highly confident and indeed strong, constantly battling on it.

The reason Yu Feng is sitting here is because he can overlook the world to continuously observe the details on the arena, secretly learning various martial arts skills.

It is precisely because of this that he is surprised by the level of the young generation’s strong cultivators in Huai Xu.

The Great Wilderness is vast, endless, and always devouring All Heavens for Lu Yu. In Yu Feng’s view, it is in no way inferior to Huai Xu, with countless strong individuals emerging.

Yet the strength of Huai Xu’s martial artists is extraordinary.

For instance, the current Sword Cultivator on the arena, who just struck down a martial artist surrounded by a galaxy with a sword like heavenly thunder.

“You’ve done well!”

This young sword cultivator, draped in a white robe with a golden sword scar painted on his chest, slowly put away his sword, unfazed as he spoke to the opponent below the stage who showed an unwillingness: “The ‘Merak’s Flow’ skill of the Heaven Star Sect of Jiheng Mountain transforms the realm of space-time into a Heavenly River for body protection, utilizing the Thousand Star Magnetic to dissolve and scatter all Yuan Qi, claimed to be unbreakable by ten thousand laws. This is not false, but you have not mastered it well enough, with only forty-two magnetic forces, hence you were broken one by one by me.”

“Next time, don’t force yourself so much. With such half-baked Great Divine Power Skill, even though my sword intent has entered micro and transformation, it is difficult to defeat you without killing you!”

Although his words are arrogant, the golden sword scar represents his identity: the True Transmission of the Sky Sun One Origin Sword Court of Milo Mountain, Bai Ji Jingzhou.

Just before, he consecutively defeated seventeen opponents, with only this last martial artist from the Heaven Star Sect making him use sword intent differentiation.

—This is Divine Repository stage already, yet he started using ‘Great Divine Power’ composed of several core divine abilities and demonstrating ‘Sword Intent Transformation’ of the Manifest Saint Level? Could it be that once he manifests saint, he can create and destroy ten thousand laws?

Witnessing this scene, Yu Feng clicked his tongue in amazement in his heart.

He believes that with his insight from two realms, he has completely transformed, being well-versed in divine skills cultivation, having advanced in the Furnace Method, and his martial skills reaching the microscopic level. By the standards of the Great Wilderness Realm, he is considered dual-cultivator of ‘Heavenly Gang Refining Skill, Earth Fiend Refining Truth’.

With such cultivation, even in the Heavenly Yu Ancestral Court, it is considered mid-to-upper standard. If fortunate in the future, he could even be bestowed a border title as a ‘Fang King’.

But there are nearly a hundred people around the arena at a level close to his, with twenty or thirty giving off dangerous vibes, seven or eight clearly stronger than him, like the Sword Cultivator on stage, not to mention possibly stronger individuals who have not yet shown themselves!

“There’s no need for you to lecture me!”

As expected, the martial artist from the Heaven Star Sect who was knocked off the stage seemed unwilling: “The heritage of the Heavenly Ancestors is truly astonishing. Your accompanying sword actually possesses a Heavenly Gang Seal top-tier divine weapon. Without this, you could never have so swiftly broken my ‘Merak’s Flow’!”

“But don’t be complacent. This great banquet is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. A mere top-tier divine weapon is hardly a trump card—I bet even this sword of yours can’t pierce the skin of that Nature Master ‘Taibai Battle Armor’!”

“I am not overreaching.” The Sword Cultivator’s expression did not change, letting out a light snort: “But Heavenly Mandate is not invincible. Our Sword Court’s first seat of this generation, [Yue Qingge], has reached the ‘Life of Ten Thousand Laws’ state, wielding the Divine Sword Vastness; even if Nature Master comes, he might not win!”

Having said that, he showed no intention of continuing the dialogue with the loser, lifted his head, and arrogantly addressed the other martial artists below the stage: “Who else?”

Given the challenge, Huai Xu martial artists would never refuse, and in an instant, those who considered themselves strong enough rushed to the stage to fiercely battle with this Heavenly Ancestor’s Sword Cultivator!

However, at that moment.

A dragon’s roar echoed resoundingly, permeating the heavens and the earth, spanning the Heaven Sea inside and out.

All martial artists on and off the arena, including Yu Feng, who was preparing to continue being a bloodthirsty spectator, were taken aback and then looked up.

Above the Cloud Vortex, at the top of the Heaven Sea Dragon Court, where the Ancestral Dragon Hall is located, a doorway gradually opened.

“The entrance to the [Reflected Scale Truth Banquet] has begun!”

First there was a moment of pause, followed by an unparalleled excitement, as Yu Feng sprang to his feet and laughed heartily: “Even though I knew it was just these few days, it has finally begun!”

“It’s just a shame…”

Turning his head, he looked to the side of the arena, at the martial artist from the Heaven Star Sect being taken away for treatment by his fellow sect members, and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh: “This is too unfortunate!”

Yu Feng knows very well that this martial artist, who originally had impressive strength, has now lost the qualification to participate in this great banquet.

It’s not that losing on the arena disqualifies you from participating, but mainly because his divine abilities were broken, they cannot be restored to full strength in a short time. Let alone the trial of the Zhaolin Realm, even crossing into the ‘threshold’ of the Ancestral Dragon Hall would be difficult.

In fact, it’s not just him.

In Yu Feng’s eyes, many martial artists around the arena also cannot cross the ‘threshold’.

The distance between the Dragon Court and the Ancestral Dragon Hall is not empty, rather it is separated by what appears to be a calm but is actually a dangerous ‘Heavenly Sea’, residing at the boundary between reality and illusion.

The Heavenly Sea is not void of water in the true sense, but is a mixture of the shattered fragments of the Great Void and Time Water, stirring space-time.
