After temporarily bidding farewell to Li Qinghe, Ye Feng arrived at the sect master's main hall alone.

This is Ye Feng's third time here.

The first time was as a nobody, the first-ranked menial servant.

The second time, I stood here as the senior disciple of the Qi Refining Realm.

This is the third time; the once incredibly mysterious place now holds no secrets for him.

The outer array is level three, but this one is the core of an array comparable to level four.

Moreover, it's the kind that's infused with spirit arrays.

Whether it's a spiritual treasure or a level-three formation, for a formation spirit to be born, it needs to be refined and infused with a treasure called a soul stone in order to give birth to a soul.

This Soul Stone is a sect treasure comparable to the Dao Stone, and even rarer.

Ye Feng only found a few low-level soul stones among his spoils. Even if he refined them into array spirits, he could only control level three arrays, so he simply didn't use them.

It can be said that whether it's a weapon spirit or a formation spirit, their function is comparable to that of a combatant of the same level.

Just like the Thousand Illusion Spirit he named Qianqian, it can defend itself... and even attack on its own when he is not controlling it!

Behind the main hall, the spatial fluctuations at the entrance to the secret realm were clearly visible to Ye Feng.

The comprehension of the Divine Eye not only grants him an additional aura skill, but also modifies his own eyes. Even without activating it, his understanding of elemental energy is far superior to before.

It's like the person standing next to the sect leader... is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even without using his divine sense, he could deduce this from the flow of spiritual energy around him.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Master Qingsong nodded with a smile.

"Ye Feng, the gentleman next to me is the Nascent Soul Ancestor of my Qingyun Sect... True Monarch Dafang!"

Ye Feng suddenly realized what was happening, turned around, cupped his hands, and bowed.

"Greetings, Great Master!"

The Great Gentleman smiled and nodded.

"Okay! Okay!"

Then he asked seriously,

"Ye Feng, have you already cultivated the fifth level of the Sect's Secret Realm's Lieyuan Technique?"

"Yes! This disciple has indeed learned the fifth level! And has also obtained the complete Qingyun Technique."

Upon hearing the answer they most wanted to hear, both Qingsong and Dafang were overjoyed.

"Good! Ye Feng, you have completely cleared the secret realm left by the founder. I hereby declare that from this day forward, you are the young sect master of my Qingyun Sect!"

Previously, he was a direct disciple of the core members, but now he has generously bypassed Qingsong, the sect leader, and directly announced this matter.

Qingsong showed no displeasure whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt completely relaxed.

"However, to prevent retaliation from rival sects, we will not announce this matter for now. Once you have paid your respects at the ancestral hall, I will record this in the sect's annals."

From now on, you are the young sect leader, with the same authority as a Golden Core elder!

This... is really a bit of a dilemma.

Ye Feng hadn't expected things to progress so quickly. Worshipping the ancestral temple meant taking a Daoist oath.

They will be branded with the Qingyun Sect label for life!

Before this, having been branded with the sect's label, he still had to worry about whether someone would sacrifice him for the sect.

But now, the two leaders of the Qingyun Sect have directly declared him to be the young sect master...

All he needed was an organization or group to help him do business.

They obey him completely, yet he doesn't need to manage or operate the business specifically...

After much deliberation, Ye Feng finally sighed.

Originally, I had planned to ask Li Qinghe for help in dealing with the situation as an ordinary disciple.

But now, it's probably too late.

"I'm sorry, Sect Master, Ancestor, I don't want to enter the ancestral hall to pay respects to the Ancestor..."

"What did you say?!"

The Great Lord of Great Power stared wide-eyed at Ye Feng in disbelief.

Master Qingsong's face also instantly darkened.

"Ye Feng, do you know what you're saying?"

The two men's imposing aura pressed down on Ye Feng like a storm; under normal circumstances, he should have already knelt down.

But Ye Feng still firmly shook his head, saying something that left the two speechless and astonished.

"I want to establish my own sect! I want to be the founding patriarch!"

Ye Feng's words echoed like thunder in the sect master's hall, and the oppressive aura of the two instantly vanished.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator? He wants to become the founder of a sect?

Qingsong wanted to keep the door closed tightly to avoid outsiders overhearing and making a fool of themselves.

But then again, considering that Ye Feng was able to comprehend the Lieyuan Technique to the fifth level at an unprecedented speed,

With such talent and comprehension, who can say he's not good enough?

Back then, wasn't the Qingyun Sect also formed by the Qingyun Patriarch breaking away from the Hunyuan Sect?

The Hunyuan Sect is gone, but the Qingyun Sect still stands...

Since they hadn't betrayed their sect, their expressions improved slightly.

The pine tree patiently and skillfully guided the way.

"Ye Feng, your talent is indeed good, but establishing a sect is not an easy thing. Moreover, once you reach the Core Formation stage, you will be the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect. At that time, you can carry out whatever ideas you have, and the ancestor and I will fully support you."

Although Dafang Zhenjun was still angry, he nodded in agreement.

But Ye Feng's mind was made up; his plan to establish his own sect would not change.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. I have made up my mind. If many sect elders can do it, so can I, Ye Feng!"

Before Qingsong could continue to persuade him, Ye Feng continued,

"I already know everything about establishing the sect. I will absolutely not pass on the sect's cultivation techniques to outsiders, and I have already created my own..."

Create your own martial arts technique!

Qingsong and his companion exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with shock.

How dare a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator claim to have created a cultivation technique?

"You think knowing a couple of spells makes you a creator of cultivation techniques? A Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to be so arrogant? Since you're so confident, then I'll use my Foundation Establishment power to test my skills against you. If you lose..."

"We'll talk about that later!"

Ye Feng interrupted him directly, saying...

He's currently displaying a cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Level 2, which he generously calls Foundation Establishment Mana... Foundation Establishment Level 10 is also Foundation Establishment Mana.

He can't limit himself.

The Great Gentleman narrowed his eyes and stopped talking. There was no point in saying anything more now. He should just beat this kid into submission first!

He simply pointed, and a sword lotus appeared out of thin air.

Instead of dispersing into sword energy, the sword lotus continued to spin forward, the lotus formed from sword energy attacking Ye Feng like a man-eating gear.

Although this move is still based on the Azure Lotus Sword Song, it has actually undergone its own changes.

The sword energy gears can not only obliterate the opponent's defenses and attacks, but they also remain condensed and can dissipate at any time...

A Nascent Soul ancient monster that's over a thousand years old is indeed extraordinary.

However, the magic power displayed by the opponent was also at the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage, not exceeding that level.

Ye Feng also did not use any spiritual artifacts. He simply stretched out his hand and exhaled the five elements of spiritual energy, and the chaotic gray shield light instantly condensed in front of him.

"Click click click..."

The sword lotus struck the shield light, breaking off one by one, without diminishing the shield light in the slightest.

The greatest characteristic of the Azure Lotus is its inexhaustible vitality; it can slightly convert the spiritual energy of its opponent to replenish its own sword lotus.

However, Ye Feng's Five Elements Shield formed a closed loop, preventing any leakage of spiritual energy, so the Sword Lotus couldn't absorb even a trace of it.

Instead, the dissipating sword lotus was absorbed by the Five Elements Shield and transformed into defensive power....

Both Qingsong and Dafang showed expressions of surprise at the same time.

This spell incorporates the power of all five elements.

Furthermore, it integrates all spiritual energy into its unique spells...

Based on this alone, Ye Feng's claim of creating magic is no longer just boasting.

"Good lad! I really need to use some tricks to take you down!"

As he spoke, he made a sweeping gesture with his hand.

The sword lotus in front of Ye Feng instantly transformed into small missiles, shooting in arcs as it passed through the light shield and hurtled towards Ye Feng behind him...
