Among the crowd, only Ye Feng, whose spiritual power had reached the Immortal Venerable realm, was able to change his mind.

The black mist gradually came to a standstill ten meters away from Ye Feng, freezing from its tail.

But the black mist stubbornly continued its advance towards Ye Feng.

The white frost also spread upwards along the base of the black mist, several minutes faster than the black mist itself.

Until it was half a meter in front of Ye Feng...

The formless and intangible black mist, which even divine sense could not detect, was frozen by frost!

Ye Feng was horrified as he watched the Frost Condensation Immortal Venerable walk out of the void.

This... is the Supreme Immortal Venerable!

Ye Feng, who had been feeling somewhat smug after killing two Mahayana cultivators, suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

These two Mahayana cultivators are probably just ordinary sect elders, the kind without any extraordinary skills.

Burning one's five elemental roots is equivalent to a burst of spiritual energy boosting combat power, which is estimated to be at most comparable to other top-tier cultivators at the Fusion stage.

Let alone the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable, I reckon I couldn't even handle a random peak-stage Mahayana cultivator.

We still can't afford to be reckless!

Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang walked up to Ye Feng and took out a crystal-clear treasure box.

With a wave of his hand, the air condensed, and the black mist covering the white frost instantly shrank, entering into it.

The magical power is lifted,

The entire Five Elements Sect was astonished by the sudden appearance of Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang.

Ye Feng, however, stared intently at the "box" in Ling Fengxue's hand...

Holy crap! A box made of immortal stones!

That's at least a hundred yuan!

The black mist disappeared, and the box was put away by Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang.

"Greetings, Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang!"

Everyone bowed, but Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang's aloof gaze seemed to completely ignore them.

But after her gaze swept over Ye Feng, she still nodded at Zhou Yongcheng.

Then, looking at Ye Feng, he said something completely devoid of emotion.

Let's go!

He left right after saying that... without even taking Ye Feng with him!

What a rip-off!

Ye Feng greeted the others telepathically and hurriedly followed behind.

Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang wasn't flying very fast; at least Ye Feng could barely see the traces of her flight.

However, this speed seems to be gradually increasing...

A very familiar feeling welled up inside me.

Does this guy think women only like watching speed? And they want it to get faster and faster?

I let it go with my eldest sister-in-law, Zilan Lingzun, before, because I told her not to bring her... Now I haven't said I can't bring her, have I?

Each point of spiritual root burning can last for about a minute.

Ye Feng burns fifty points at a time, enough to last a long time.

But the increasingly rapid speed ahead made him ponder how to use his supernatural abilities.

The notes in the library contain information about spatial abilities similar to Qin Rou's.

Relax your body... merge into the spatial magic...

"Whoosh!"

...

Ling Fengxue did indeed intend to test Ye Feng.

The method of burning spiritual roots was indeed miraculous, but in her view, burning one's spiritual roots to gain power was merely a minor path, especially after she had advanced to the Immortal Venerable realm.

In her eyes, the Five Elements Sect was practically synonymous with weakness.

The cultivation speed is slow, and there are few high-level cultivators.

Most of those who displayed remarkable talent, after frequently burning their spiritual roots in battle, vanished from the stage like a fleeting moment of glory...

The only thing worth mentioning is the awakened supernatural powers, which are diverse and each has its own unique characteristics.

However, due to his low cultivation level, his Spirit Burning ability cannot last long in battle, and he is still looked down upon by her.

However, this impression has now been slightly shattered by this amazing kid, Ye Feng.

His cultivation speed... it's hard to say. Last time he said it was because he ate spiritual fruits. I wonder if the same thing will happen this time.

Speaking of supernatural powers, this kid possesses a wide variety of them!

As Ling Fengxue was thinking, Ye Feng suddenly accelerated and darted up behind her.

This speed is already comparable to that of a first-stage Loose Immortal...

———

The two didn't take much longer to return than when they went to the Five Elements Sect, and they entered the Great Evolution Immortal City just as Ye Feng's state disappeared.

Upon arriving at the Thousand Evolution Plain, the two entered the Nine Venerable Hall one after the other.

Inside the hall, three Celestial Venerables had already arrived and were waiting.

Upon seeing Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang, the group did not rise, but simply nodded as a greeting.

Since the group meets a few times a month, there's no need for any elaborate registration ceremony.

As for Ye Feng, the three of them naturally ignored him...

He has already enjoyed this treatment outside.

When Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang arrived, there was a tremendous uproar, with gasps of amazement echoing throughout the land.

When they got to their own spot, while there wasn't a chorus of boos, you could at least hear a cold snort or two every now and then.

Ye Feng took his seat and, without saying a word, began to tally up his gains.

A cursory glance revealed that each of the two Mahayana-level rings contained approximately thirty to forty million top-grade spirit stones.

There are also a bunch of magical treasures. If they were all sold, they would probably be enough to feed and clothe one or two small sects for hundreds of years.

It's a pity one of them ran away; otherwise, I could have gained even more.

Ye Feng suspected the other one had been captured by Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang... but he had no proof.

Of course, even so, he didn't dare to ask this cold-faced immortal for the ring.

"top up!"

"Spirit Stones - 1 million (Top Grade), Trade Points +10 billion"

"Transaction points + 10 billion..."

"+10 billion"

...

"In the past few days, many cultivators from various sects have been assassinated, and those who died were all highly talented cultivators at the Void Returning stage!"

Ye Feng looked over at the sound and saw that the speaker was a burly man dressed in black steel armor, who looked to be around fifty years old.

Previously, he didn't know anyone here except for Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang.

After exchanging information with Zhou Yongcheng, he was able to match these people up.

The one who just spoke is Liu Tiejun, a fourth-level Loose Immortal of the Ghost Nether Sect, whose title is Ghost Army Immortal Venerable.

Although the Ghost Nether Sect cultivates the path of ghosts, this person doesn't seem sinister at all and speaks frankly.

The other two, besides the host, Great Evolution Immortal Venerable, were a man dressed in gray hemp robes, who appeared to be a seventy-year-old.

This person is no ordinary person.

He was a Six Tribulation Loose Immortal of the Myriad Transformations Demon Sect, with the title of Shadowless Immortal Venerable. As for his name, Zhou Yongcheng did not know.

There are still a few people who haven't arrived.

Standing over two meters tall, dressed like an emperor, he is from the Myriad Swords Sect, Sword Born One, a Six Tribulation Loose Immortal, and his title is Myriad Swords Immortal Venerable.

The old woman with the cane is Liu Yunyan of the Creation Sect, a Five Tribulations Loose Immortal, whose title is the Hundred Transformations Immortal Venerable.

The scholar-like figure is Liang Wendao, a fourth-level Loose Immortal of the Hidden Sword Sect, whose title is Immortal Venerable of Literature and Martial Arts.

And then there's that guy who looks like Tian Juezi and speaks rather rudely, Zhang Tiancheng of the Supreme Sect, a Five Tribulations Loose Immortal, whose title is Taiyi Immortal Venerable.

At this moment, only the Great Immortal Venerables Gui Jun, Wu Ying, Da Yan, and Ning Shuang were present, and none of the four communicated telepathically.

As soon as Ghost Army Immortal Venerable spoke, Shadowless Immortal Venerable nodded in unison.

"Even our Myriad Transformations Demon Sect has had several members fall victim to this!"

The Great Evolution Immortal Venerable did not speak, but he couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng.

If we're talking about geniuses, Ye Feng is probably one of the best among those at the Void Returning stage.

Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang's expression turned solemn as he said,

"I encountered three Mahayana cultivators outside the Five Elements Sect. One of them was from the Divine Wood Sect, and another from the Pure Water Sect... Both of them had evil seeds! It must be the work of the Evil God Sect!"

Evil God Cult!

This sect had been dormant for tens of thousands of years... but now its activities have become so frequent.

It must be said that the failure of the Great Immortals' plan to have their beasts undergo tribulation played a very significant role in the advancement and development of this sect!

Just as the group remained silent, pondering their next move, a sudden commotion arose outside.

"Bring that Void Returning cultivator out!"

"What qualifications does a mere Void Returning cultivator have to enter the Nine Venerable Hall and sit above everyone else?"

"That's right, everyone knows what the Five Elements Sect is like, so what qualifications do they have!"

"Protest! He must leave! The dignity of high-ranking cultivators cannot be desecrated. To prevent him from leaving is to look down on us!"

...
