The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 207: Breaking Through the Element Gathering Realm, The Third Stage Task
“In this world, there actually exists such a miraculous elixir?”

Mo Ying couldn’t believe it.

Yet, when she thought of the miracles Ye Feng had created time after time, she somewhat incredulously took the Meridian Recurrence Pill and asked, “Sect Leader, is everything you said really true?”

“Absolutely true!” Ye Feng stood up, looked at Mo Ying solemnly, and firmly patted her shoulder, “You need to be more stable this time; you must breakthrough.”

“Yes!” Mo Ying took the elixir.

A warm breath circulated within her meridians, turning the originally scarred meridians smooth and delicate, akin to cooked egg whites.

“How… how miraculous the effect is.”

Mo Ying found her meridians to be reborn as if they had been given another chance to assault the Element Gathering Realm. And with her past experiences, she felt her bottleneck was easier to break through. She quickly took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and once again charged at the boundary of her realm.

Having learned from her previous failure, Mo Ying’s breakthrough went very smoothly this time.

The spiritual energy inside her body all turned into liquid True Yuan, washing over her now more resilient meridians, bringing them up to the standards of the first level of the Element Gathering Realm.

As for the sea of consciousness between her eyebrows, it finally showed a glimmer of light.

Ding!

It was as if a sword light had exploded at the center of Mo Ying’s forehead. She felt an elevation of her entire being, with the concentration of her Spiritual Sense naturally occurring, officially stepping into the first level of the Element Gathering Realm.

Ye Feng suddenly realized that his own strength had increased by a fraction of ten percent and couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth, secretly thinking that the Meridian Recurrence Pill was well worth the use.

“Really not bad!”

Ye Feng looked at Mo Ying with appreciative eyes.

Outside the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.

The disciples paced back and forth, anxiously waiting.

“Why hasn’t she come out yet!”

“It’s already been an hour.”

“What’s the rush? Perhaps the Sect Leader is giving Senior Sister Mo Ying psychological counseling. After all, since she failed her breakthrough, when we see her from now on, we need to take extra care of her…”

Creak!

The door finally opened.

Mo Ying and Ye Feng walked out side by side.

An overpowering aura unique to those of the Element Gathering Realm erupted from Mo Ying, sweeping around like a torrential current, pushing all the disciples back several steps, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked at the imposing Mo Ying.

Element Gathering Realm!

Mo Ying broke through?

Wasn’t it said that after a failed breakthrough, one would lose the chance to advance to the Element Gathering Realm for life? How did she manage the breakthrough?

Could it be, the Sect Leader…

The disciples thought of something and collectively drew a sharp breath.

Looking at the shocked faces of everyone, Mo Ying was filled with mixed emotions.

Were it not for the Sect Leader possessing that odd pill named “Meridian Recurrence Pill,” her meridians wouldn’t have been able to be rejuvenated and breakthrough to the Element Gathering Realm successfully.

Looking up at the sky, Mo Ying felt the night was somewhat warm.

Perhaps it was because she had broken through!

With this thought, Mo Ying turned to Ye Feng beside her, her bright eyes filled with gratitude and even a very special emotion.

Was it… reverence?!

Ye Feng was unaware of the emotions of the beauty beside him but stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing all the disciples standing before him.

This night, all the disciples were there.

Ye Feng’s mouth curved up slightly as thirteen special Disciple Identity Tokens flew out from the System Space, hovering in front of each disciple.

“This is the ‘brand’-new version of the disciple identity token, uniformly Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, with a defensive shield and the ability to transmit messages in real-time within a hundred miles,” Ye Feng said proudly with his hands behind his back as he introduced them.

Upon hearing this, the disciples were greatly surprised.

Spiritual Artifact-grade disciple identity tokens?

Even the Two-Star Rank Divine Wind Sword Sect didn’t flaunt such prestige, did they?

The disciples, holding joy in their hearts, grasped their identity tokens engraved with their names and quickly completed the recognition process.

Hum!

Long Tianxing took the lead in activating the defense shield.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a hemispherical shield with a three-meter diameter enveloping Long Tianxing within. Qiao Jiaxi struck it forcefully several times, but found that he couldn’t break through it, even with the peak strength of his sixth-tier Body Refinement!

“There’s no need to try anymore,” Ye Feng said with a face full of confidence and pride, “This shield can withstand three attacks of a ninth-tier Qi Refinement cultivator. It’s quite a remarkable defense mechanism.”

“Ah, it can only resist three times?” Long Tianxing was somewhat disappointed.

Ye Feng stepped through the shield and slapped Long Tianxing on the head, saying irritably, “The Identity Tokens crafted by this Sect Leader don’t need Spirit Stones. They contain a Spirit Attracting Formation inside, which can absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy for storage. As long as we don’t encounter too powerful of an enemy, the shield’s strength and duration should be more than sufficient.”

“No Spirit Stones needed?” The disciples exclaimed in astonishment once more.

“Right, Sect Leader, you mentioned that there’s also a message transmission function. Is that true?” Xia He asked after she had refined her Identity Token, discovering she was unsure how to use it.

“Let me show you,” Ye Feng took out the newly refined Sect Leader Identity Token, which also possessed the functions of message transmission and defense shield, and started guiding them on the spot.

After half an incense stick had burned.

Long Tianxing and Qiao Jiaxi stood at the foot of Misty Peak, beside the Flowing Water River, waving at the peak and speaking to the Identity Token, “Big brother, can you hear me?”

“I can hear you, and even the sound of the water beside you,” came the resonant voice of Shi Lei from the token.

“It really is amazing. Sect Leader said we could communicate within a hundred li. Let’s move further away later and try again.” Carrying Qiao Jiaxi, Long Tianxing took off into the sky toward Whitefloat City.

Watching the disciples trying out the Identity Tokens, Ye Feng felt content and summoned Ji Ziling to his side.

“Ziling, you’ve completed your task for the Outer Sect Disciple examination. From today on, you are a member of the Outer Sect of Misty Sect.”

“Thank you, Sect Leader, for your guidance. Ziling will definitely practice diligently, striving to surpass you,” Ziling spoke only the first part, keeping the latter half to herself, as she silently considered Ye Feng to be a goal to chase.

From then on, all disciples had risen to the Outer or Inner Sect.

Ye Feng sat in his chair, watching Mo Ying consolidate her Cultivation Level at the peak of the mountain, and inwardly asked the System, “Speaking of which, Mo Ying is already at the first tier of the Element Gathering Realm, so why is she still an Outer Sect Disciple? Logically speaking, Element Gathering Realm cultivators should be True Disciples!”

The System maintained its silence.

Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn’t be bothered to ask any further.

The next day.

Ye Feng placed the dozen or so recently refined Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts on the table and said to Shi Lei and Ouyang Feng, “I am entrusting you with an important task. Take these Spiritual Artifacts to the underground market in Beacon Fire City and sell them to the Store Owner of Wuxuange Pavilion, and also purchase these three kinds of materials. If there’s money left over, buy other Spirit Mines.”

Ye Feng pulled out three drawings.

These were the materials needed to forge the Spiritual Artifact with copy functions.

“Don’t worry Sect Master Uncle, we will definitely complete the task,” Shi Lei gathered the Spiritual Artifacts and set off with Ouyang Feng, who was adept at bargaining.

“Sect Master Uncle, I am off to Beacon Fire City for an appointment,” Huo Yunjie stowed away a Messenger Paper Crane, mounted the Cold Light Sword, and departed from Misty Peak.

Beacon Fire City.

In a luxurious and splendid restaurant.

Huo Yunjie and Lin Yuyan sat facing each other, both brimming with smiles.

“After so long, Brother Huo has finally kept the appointment. It seems that getting you to join me for a meal was quite a challenge,” Lin Yuyan said with a teasing smile.

“Busy with cultivation,” Huo Yunjie simply replied.

Lin Yuyan gauged Huo Yunjie’s Cultivation Level and then laughed, “Truly worthy of the genius who defeated Xiao Fangu with a single sword strike. During that battle at the Divine Wind Sword Sect, the sword drawing technique you displayed amazed countless people, including myself, who couldn’t help but admire.”

“You flatter me,” Huo Yunjie said sparingly.

“By the way, I’ve recently heard that Shuiyang City was overrun by the Three-tailed Fox Clan and is now renamed Demon City, supposedly with a Demon King at the helm, which is extremely frightening” Lin Yuyan paused, showing concern on her beautiful face, “Brother Huo, you should be more careful about your safety.”

Huo Yunjie’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, “Can you tell me more about the situation in Demon City?”

Lin Yuyan nodded lightly, “Of course, it is said that Demon City suffered heavy losses recently. The cause was a powerhouse at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm…”

An hour later.

Huo Yunjie, feeling somber, bade farewell to Lin Yuyan and met up with Shi Lei and Ouyang Feng outside Beacon Fire City, sharing with them the situation in Demon City.

Upon hearing that a Demon King was seated in Demon City and planning to attack surrounding cities and sects, Shi Lei and Ouyang Feng were greatly alarmed and hastened back to Misty Peak, prepared to report the situation to Ye Feng.

What they didn’t know was that their own Sect Leader was the legendary figure who had single-handedly stormed into Demon City, causing an onslaught of meteors that severely damaged the Demon Race!

At the summit of Misty Peak.

Ye Feng was relishing a Spirit Dish that Li Jiaojiao had just prepared, singing its praises.

“Ding, a disciple of the Sect has broken through to the Element Gathering Realm for the first time. The third phase task for the Sect Leader is now initiated.”

At that moment, the System’s notification sounded.

Ye Feng’s gaze sharpened as he set down his chopsticks.
