The two sat embracing for a long time, when suddenly Fengxue spoke.

"By the way, they'll all be back soon and want to see you!"

"Oh? Don't shower me with compliments as soon as we meet, I can't handle that!"

Ye Feng smiled indifferently.

"They said they want you to open another ascension portal, and they'll pay for it!"

"Hmm? This is good..."

It's not necessarily all good. If the other party completely submits to you, you can only receive spirit stones and not trading points.

"I didn't expect they had spirit stones hidden away..."

Ye Feng merely uttered a sigh, but Ling Fengxue turned around and hugged him.

“It was all orchestrated by Wugensheng back then... Everyone knows that, so don’t blame yourself, it’s not your fault!”

Ye Feng: ...!

"Can you still open the Sky Gate Passage now?"

"I'll give it a try!"

Ye Feng stood up, about to try, when Ling Fengxue stopped him again.

"The guiding light is scarce, so we can't open it carelessly... Let's go to the Dayan Sect and wait for them to return... Remember to ask for spirit stones first, otherwise we'll have nowhere to go if they run away!"

Seeing the playful look on Ling Fengxue's face, Ye Feng couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek.

They smiled at each other, their lips gradually drawing closer...

———

One day later, at the Nine Venerables Hall!

"Greetings, Invincible Immortal Venerable!"

As expected, we couldn't get any trading points.

As soon as Ye Feng and his companion arrived, the seven Great Immortal Venerables respectfully paid their respects.

"Greetings, Invincible Great Immortal!"

Outside the Nine Venerable Hall, those below the rank of Immortal Venerable knelt directly on the ground...

Among them, all the cultivators at the Immortal Venerable realm looked at him with excitement.

The chance to ascend to immortality is right in the hands of this person!

Heaven knows how many powerful immortals they've witnessed dying under lightning tribulations since childhood... or going mad and slowly watching themselves approach the end of their lives.

And now, in their generation, all of that will come to an end!

It's all over now!

Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, Ye Feng felt a slight disappointment, but still smiled and nodded.

"Please rise, everyone!"

After the formalities, Ye Feng led the eight people into the Nine Venerable Hall.

Even though we're about to part ways, there are still some things we should discuss.

Moreover, the guiding light may not necessarily guide everyone; we might even have to work together later.

Of the nine positions, only Ye Feng has become number one; the others remain unchanged.

However, this top spot is a whole body length higher than everyone else's...

Xu Shunyan: "Reporting to the Invincible Immortal Venerable, the evil fog in the south has now spread to the Iron Fan Sect, a sixth-level sect. Due to the expansion of the area, the rate of spread has slowed down. It is estimated that it will reach the area of ​​the Nine Sects in eight hundred years!"

Lu Xiande: "The mortals previously settled outside the Nine Sects... have all been properly settled..."

Jian Wenlin: "Recently, through our concerted efforts, we have identified a total of 97,500 traitors, all of whom have now been executed..."

......

As everyone reported their findings, Ye Feng listened calmly, occasionally nodding.

In short, now is the time for birds to fly freely in the sky and fish to leap freely in the sea!

A single punch can prevent a hundred more.

With the rootless body dead and the evil tree branch vanished, all the previous difficulties have now disappeared.

Everyone is now envisioning a brighter future for the universe!

After everyone had finished speaking, it was Ye Feng's turn to summarize.

"Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang has told me about these things in general, and I thank everyone here!"

Whether it was during the battle against the evil god or in the aftermath, it was all thanks to everyone that I was able to act freely... It can be said that defeating the evil god was a result of everyone's joint efforts!

After the pleasantries, let's get down to business.

"Since you are all preparing to ascend to the Immortal Realm... I wonder if the affairs of your sect have been properly arranged?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's question, Li Xiaoran immediately jumped out.

"Please rest assured, Invincible Immortal Venerable, each sect has had a succession plan for 30,000 years ago; we're simply lowering the standards slightly..."

Ye Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Ye Feng had discarded most of Wugensheng's memories, but he retained some of his memories from the Five Elements Sect.

If Wugensheng's successor hadn't fallen below the fifth level of Immortal Venerable, he might have ascended to the Immortal Realm much earlier, and none of what happened afterward would have occurred...

"Since everyone has made arrangements, let's begin!"

At this point, everyone's faces lit up with excitement.

Each person stepped forward and contributed spirit stones.

There's no set standard for these spirit stones; they're all collected by Ling Fengxue.

However, the absence of a standard is the greatest standard; once you reach the Immortal Realm, there will certainly be no shortage of immortal stones.

At this point, everyone gave as much as they could.

Ye Feng glanced at it and thought, "Good heavens, it's a whopping seventy or eighty thousand!"

It's like a father selling his son's land without a second thought!

With their departure, the sect will likely endure thousands of years of hardship...

Once outside, the group took off and landed high in the sky.

Ye Feng and Ling Fengxue are definitely not leaving; the matter of the evil mist hasn't been resolved yet.

To date, no one with a balanced Five Elements spiritual root has yet reached the Nascent Soul stage.

The only way to dispel the evil mist is through Ye Feng's divine tree powers.

As for Ling Fengxue, she was very confident that she could survive the level eight lightning tribulation.

If it was like this when the evil god was around, let alone now...

The seven people stood high in the air, preparing to sprint.

Below them, hundreds of rogue immortals at the first or second level of cultivation were waiting intently.

The remaining divine light certainly cannot guide everyone. When the seven of them go up, the rest... will naturally depend on fate!

"I'm starting now!"

Ye Feng gave a call, and everyone showed excited expressions.

The sword in Ye Feng's hand at this moment is the starting gun for a final match.

Those who reach the top will be rewarded with an endless lifespan in the celestial realm... Who wouldn't fight tooth and nail?

Ye Feng smiled slightly and shook his head, never expecting that he would be a referee in a race in another world...

"Clang!"

Longsword drawn!

"Buzz..."

The power of the laws is coalescing!

The next moment,

Ye Feng frowned and stopped...

"Let's go back first!"

He finished speaking and left, returning directly to the Nine Venerable Hall without even waiting for Ling Fengxue.

High in the sky, only a group of immortals waiting to ascend remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What...what's going on? Why did the Invincible Immortal Venerable stop...?"

"Could it be that their strength is insufficient? Was it Wugensheng who made the move earlier?"

"What should we do... Did the Invincible Immortal Venerable remember something and come up again later?"

"Um...should we wait here or go down?"

...

Ling Fengxue was the first to return to the Nine Venerable Hall.

As soon as she entered, before she could even ask a question, Ye Feng spoke directly.

"Something's wrong!"

"Your strength..."

"It's not my strength... Sigh, strength is a problem too!"

Ye Feng frowned and sighed.

"What's more important now is not my own strength, but the world's!"
