Around the distant pyramids, countless legions of monks stood guard and patrolled.

The node battleground does not allow players to participate as deities, and naturally, level five formations are also prohibited...

I wonder if Ye Feng, with his cheat-like combat power, will be able to participate.

But the secret realm has only been open for ten years.

The demon race also ceded the central node, the most fiercely contested area.

If they were to try and seize the other two nodes on the demon side, that would be going too far...

Besides, even if Ye Feng goes in, this one token is enough; there's no need to fight for it anymore.

As for the value of this token

One can get a glimpse of this by looking at the rewards given by the Nine Sects to all the participating sects.

There are also system rewards!

It seems I absolutely must visit this secret realm.

You can't enter the secret realm without having your home properly settled...

The secret realm will open in ten years!

Even without Ye Feng, a level-five formation might not have been able to hold.

If Level 5 isn't enough, then Level 6 will do!

Further out from the Demon-Controlling Pass, the closer one gets to the demon realm, the more lush and abundant the spiritual herbs become.

There are also many more monsters now.

This place is nearly ten thousand miles away from the Demon-Slaying Pass.

Below, one can frequently see cultivators searching for spiritual materials.

Most of the people here are Qi Refining cultivators; Foundation Establishment cultivators are relatively few.

Below Ye Feng and his companions were several search teams.

Moreover, there were acquaintances from the Qingyun Sect among them!

Shen Lang!

At this moment, Shen Lang's face was pale, and a deep wound in his abdomen stretched into his internal organs. He was being held down tightly by the woman beside him.

Then he took out some medicine powder and sprinkled it on.

Not far in front of the two, a five-meter-tall demonic wolf had completely died.

This is a Foundation Establishment Demon Wolf.

Although he had only recently advanced in cultivation, he was still far beyond the capabilities of a mere early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But one was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and the other at the late stage of Qi Refining, yet they managed to wear down and kill the demonic wolf.

However, Shen Lang was also seriously injured.

Furthermore, the commotion from their fight attracted a nearby search party...

"This is our spoils of war, please step back!"

Although the opposing team consisted of five people, led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the woman's aura was in no way weak; she forcefully ordered them to leave.

"Hehe, who said it was yours? It was clearly our hard work that led to this. Little girl, you're talking nonsense!"

"you!"

The woman was furious at these words, but Shen Lang's wound was still bleeding, so she couldn't leave and could only watch helplessly as the demon wolf was dealt with.

"We are the Qingyun Sect under Penglai. You dare to steal our things. Aren't you afraid that True Monarch Potian will cause you trouble?"

"Penglai? Heh... A mere upper sect that only governs three sects dares to try and scare me?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator opposite them showed disdain, then looked at the two with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"If you die in this desolate wilderness... who will even know..."

"You...you dare?"

Although the woman was defiant, she was already afraid and could only weakly threaten,

"My elder brother is Ye Feng, how dare you touch me?"

"Ye Feng? Who is Ye Feng?"

"My elder brother Ye Feng's Daoist partner is the Slaughtering True Person Li Qinghe! You killed us, and my elder brother will definitely seek revenge on you by having his Daoist partner come to you!"

This convoluted relationship left not only the person on the other end bewildered, but even Ye Feng, standing to the side, felt a toothache.

Besides... where did this little sister come from?

The two Venerable Ones were equally surprised, never expecting to encounter Ye Feng's sister here...

Upon hearing her remarks, the person on the other end couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Do you think I'm stupid? The Killing Immortal is the wife of the Divine Eye True Lord. According to you, your elder brother is the Divine Eye True Lord?"

"this...."

Although the woman was stumped and couldn't explain herself, the other party became wary and no longer considered coming to kill her to silence her.

But instead of asking, Ye Feng spoke directly.

"Are you Ye Feng's sister?"

Ye Feng's sudden appearance startled everyone.

Before the woman could answer, someone on the other end cried out in alarm.

"Who...who are you?"

Look into my eyes and guess who I am?

"boom!"

The group felt the world change color, and their bodies went weak.

The mere sight of the opponent's dissipating energy made them feel as if their lives were out of their own hands.

"Divine... Divine Eye True Lord!!"

...

People of the Heavenly Demon Sect

Currently, Penglai is in a honeymoon period with all the sects, so Ye Feng naturally wouldn't make things difficult for a few junior cultivators.

The green lotus was injected, along with elixirs and spiritual water—a complete set.

Shen Lang's wounds closed, and his unconscious eyes gradually opened.

"You... Ye Feng?"

"Senior Brother Shen, it's been a long time! Is this... my sister-in-law, or my younger sister?"

Shen Lang blushed.

"This is Junior Nephew Hua...our...friends..."

"Oh...Nephew Hua! My friend!"

The mocking smile on Ye Feng's face hadn't faded when he suddenly froze.

"Hua...Mulan?"

Hua Mulan just wanted to disappear into the ground. She never expected that pulling on Ye Feng's tiger skin would actually expose him...

Ye Feng also swallowed his saliva and digested it for a short while.

Mulan, she really is a younger sister, even if she's not blood-related...

"Um...that...girl, it's too dangerous here. How about I take you back?"

"No...no need! We can manage ourselves..."

Ye Feng nodded. Shen Lang had almost fully recovered, and the danger here was minimal. He could go back himself.

The two of them came out for adventure and treasure hunting. If they bring the person back and then the person comes back, who knows how many more days will pass?

"This... since it's our first meeting, I'll give you this sword and clothes... when you have time, come visit Penglai Sect!"

"Senior Brother Shen, I'll be going now. You two be careful."

...

Ye Feng left behind some pills.

Since Mulan is calling him "brother,"

Presumably, Uncle Fu has already arrived!

Three days later, the Demon Realm Shop opened.

The spiritual veins, fruits, and herbs transported from the Demon Realm were quickly distributed to the Nine Sects.

Several of these spiritual fruits can even replace the effects of Foundation Establishment Fruit and Golden Fruit.

The profit margin is more than three times the initial investment.

This time, Shangzong made a profit, and Ye Feng's trading points even broke through the 100 million mark!

Days passed by like flowing water.

In June of the first year of Penglai, Ye Feng's son, Ye Fan, was born.

In August, Ye Feng's daughter, Ye Ting, was born.

In the second year of Penglai's reign, Xiao Xuan achieved Core Formation. The nine major sects began trading independently with the Demon Realm, but the prices of all goods were suppressed by Penglai, resulting in the failure of the trade.

In the spring of the fifth year of Penglai, the Yanyu Sect's outpost, located 30,000 li away, was attacked and robbed, resulting in the deaths of 30 Penglai disciples.

In the summer of the fifth year of Penglai, the Zhongzong sect, the Turtle Cave Sect, was destroyed by Penglai.

In the spring of the sixth year of Penglai, the Penglai Sect was attacked by five unknown Nascent Soul cultivators, along with their divine power avatars, totaling ten Nascent Soul cultivators. Ye Feng defended the level six formation, and in the end, Penglai remained unscathed. All five divine power avatars of the attackers perished, and the five retreated.

In the eighth year of Penglai, Ye Feng's metal-elemental clone used the 300-kilometer teleportation arrays established in four locations to successively travel to the Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Demon, Ghost Soul, Purple Cloud, and Yin Corpse, winning all five battles.

The following month, Ye Feng made his move and the Heavenly Demon Sect was destroyed!

The southern land was shaken; Tianjuezi fled and was teleported to the central continent; the Heavenly Sword Sect was destroyed.

At this point, there were only eight major sects in Tiannan!

In the ninth year of his life in Penglai, Yang Fu indulged in excessive sexual activity, and his condition became incurable... Ye Feng felt guilty.

Ten years in Penglai...
