Chapter 1526: Chapter 1517: Middle Grade Treasure Weapon
After seeing the confusion on Ye Chenfeng’s face, Dong Yehai immediately explained: “Young Master, according to the prophecy of our Sea Clan ancestors, the one who can lead us back to the light is also the one who can restore our Sea Clan to its former glory, as long as we are willing to follow him.”
“And, Young Master, you are the person our ancestors prophesied. I have never heard of anyone capable of mastering both alchemy and artifact refining. I now firmly believe that, as our ancestors foretold, as long as we follow you, you will surely restore our Sea Clan to its past prosperity in the future.”
“This is why we call you Young Master. We are willing to follow you, but we wonder if you are willing to accept us?”
After hearing Dong Yehai’s explanation, Ye Chenfeng pondered for a moment. With Old Bai and Old Hei here, the formation here will eventually be broken, and the Sea Clan people here will eventually see the light of day again.
Currently, what Ye Chenfeng lacks the most is his own power. The Ye Gate he established is still too weak, but this Sea Clan is quite a force, at least Dong Yehai, Wufeng Jiang, and Wufeng Chi are all experts of the Nirvana Realm.
After a moment of silence, Ye Chenfeng gazed at Dong Yehai and the others, asking, “Are you truly willing to follow me?”
Seeing Ye Chenfeng relent, Dong Yehai immediately said, “Young Master, we are willing to follow you, and that is also the will of our ancestors. We have witnessed your abilities, Young Master, and you are qualified to lead our Sea Clan.”
Wufeng Jiang and Wufeng Chi, the two elders, also nodded, saying, “Young Master, we are all willing to follow you.”
Seeing the sincerity in Dong Yehai and the others’ attitudes, Ye Chenfeng knew it was their heartfelt intention.
So, Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and said, “Alright, since you are willing to follow me, I won’t be pretentious.”
Seeing Ye Chenfeng agree, Dong Yehai immediately turned to Dong Xiaomei and Dong Chengfei nearby, saying, “The two of you should quickly come and pay respects to the Young Master.”
Within a short time, had Ye Chenfeng become the Young Master of the Sea Clan? This left Dong Xiaomei and Dong Chengfei somewhat unable to react. Dong Chengfei, fearing to disobey his father’s orders, respectfully said to Ye Chenfeng, “Young Master, can I continue to call you Big Brother in the future?”
Ye Chenfeng had no particular concern about titles and said, “That’s up to you, I don’t mind.”
Turning to see Dong Xiaomei, who seemed a bit stunned, Ye Chenfeng smiled and said, “You also don’t have to call me Young Master anymore, you can still call me good brother.”
Hearing this, Dong Xiaomei’s pale, icy face flushed red with embarrassment.
Ye Chenfeng no longer teased Dong Xiaomei and handed five bottles of Third-Rank Condensing Vein Pills each to Dong Yehai, Wufeng Jiang, and Wufeng Chi.
These Condensing Vein Pills are also of huge benefit to experts of the Nirvana Realm. The purpose of the Condensing Vein Pills is to strengthen and expand the meridians.
The tougher and thicker the meridians, the faster the Spiritual Qi River flows through them.
The speed of the Spiritual Qi River’s flow indicates the speed of one’s strength improvement.
During cultivation, the faster the Spiritual Qi River flows, the naturally faster the increase in strength.
Therefore, the allure of these Condensing Vein Pills for Nirvana Realm experts is very significant.
After learning that Ye Chenfeng gifted them Condensing Vein Pills, Dong Yehai and the other two were extremely grateful to Ye Chenfeng, becoming more confident that their choice was absolutely correct.
…
Time quickly passed.
Soon, the day of the Sea Clan’s centennial event arrived.
In the days leading up to it,
Old Bai and Old Hei tirelessly researched ways to break the formation, while Ye Chenfeng continued solidifying his artifact refining and alchemy skills.
Ye Chenfeng had learned almost all the pill recipes for First to Third-Grade elixirs from Old Bai, to the point where he could recite them by heart.
The Sea Clan’s centennial event was held in the north of this small world.
In the north, there is a massive square, which is the designated site for each centennial event.
Every member of the Sea Clan must attend the centennial event, and Dong Yehai originally invited Ye Chenfeng as well.
However, in the end, Ye Chenfeng declined.
Ye Chenfeng wanted to use this opportunity to visit the clearing where he once killed Li Pengtian and Li Pengyun; he wanted to thoroughly investigate whether the force summoning him came from beneath that clearing.
The time was nearly up.
Ye Chenfeng estimated that the Sea Clan’s event should have started, and there should be no one left on Li Yanshan’s territory.
Thus, Ye Chenfeng left the valley, gathering the spiritual energy within his body toward his back.
Two blue Spirit Qi Wings immediately unfolded from Ye Chenfeng’s back, and he quickly flew toward that clearing.
Speeding along,
When Ye Chenfeng arrived above the clearing, his body swooped down, and as he neared the ground, he retracted the Spirit Qi Wings into himself and steadily landed on the clearing.
With the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, Ye Chenfeng crouched down, pressing his palm against the ground, and focused on sensing, but the summoning force seemed nonexistent.
Just as Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brow slightly,
the summoning force affecting only him surged crazily from the ground.
This caused Ye Chenfeng to almost kneel directly on the clearing.
Experiencing the summoning force up close, its intensity grew even stronger, almost dragging Ye Chenfeng directly into the earth.
Steadying his mind, Ye Chenfeng thought.
Initially, his arrival in this small world of the Sea Clan was mostly due to this summoning force.
Now that the mystery of the summoning force was about to be unveiled, Ye Chenfeng certainly wanted to investigate.
With momentum building within him,
a layer of spirit energy wrapped around his fists.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!—”
Ye Chenfeng punched the clearing one blow after another, intending to create a passageway beneath it.
Dust scattered everywhere,
the muffled sounds continually echoed.
The clearing quickly sank downward; after about ten minutes of continuous strikes,
an entrance to a pitch-black hole appeared beneath the clearing, and one could vaguely make out some steps.
After hesitating for two seconds, Ye Chenfeng stepped into the entrance.
The steps descended continuously, surrounded by darkness.
Raising his vigilance, Ye Chenfeng followed the steps downward, and as he descended, the summoning force grew stronger.
After walking for a full five minutes,
the summoning force suddenly increased several dozen times.
This unexpected change caught Ye Chenfeng completely unprepared.
Ye Chenfeng’s body was lifted into the air, continuously pulled underground by the summoning force.
A loud “whoosh” of wind roared past his ears,
the pull of the summoning force was so rapid that the strong gales kept his eyes shut.
“Bang!”
Ye Chenfeng’s body felt a sharp pain as he landed on the ground.
When Ye Chenfeng slowly opened his eyes, he found himself in an underground cavern.
Behind him was a passage leading upward, from which he had been dragged here.
Ye Chenfeng stood up, his gaze fixed twenty meters ahead.
There, a massive pool appeared before him.
The pool was filled with blue seawater; in the center, a column rose, and atop the column rested a blue pearl.
The seawater inside continuously flowed along the column towards the blue pearl, then cascaded down into the pool from the other side of the pearl.
This formed a cycle.
Ye Chenfeng realized the summoning force affecting him was emanating from this blue jewel.
“Young Master, we are willing to follow you,” Wufeng Jiang said, seriousness in his voice. “This is also our ancestors’ will; we have also witnessed your ability, and Young Master, you are qualified to lead our Sea Clan now.”
“You should try to control it swiftly, this Power of Summoning isn’t simple… Be careful!” Old Bai’s voice echoed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind.
“Otherwise, remember, there is still us, Old Bai and Old Hei, behind you,” Old Bai further reminded.
With a deep breath, Ye Chenfeng slowly approached the edge of the pool.
Carefully staring at the blue water stone in the center of the pool, he realized that all the mystery was indeed centered on this water jewel, the one that was seemingly siphoning all the surrounding spiritual energy into it.
A forceful energy unfurled itself, as if trying to break free from its confines.
A sense of tranquility washed over Ye Chenfeng as he reached out his hand to grasp the water jewel.
His hand hovered above it briefly before he wrapped his fingers around the cool, glowing stone.
For a split second, a surge of power and understanding flowed through him, awakening an energy he had never felt before.
“So, this is the prophecy,” he murmured to himself, more determined than ever to bring the Sea Clan back to its former glory.
