Chapter 2002: Chapter 2002: Void Secret Realm, Heavenly Venerable’s Enlightenment

"Princess, you’re here!"

Xia Yao and Huo Lingjiao grabbed Hu Feifei’s hand, glanced at Xue Rongqing, then exchanged a smile, and pulled her toward the mansion’s bathroom to soak in the hot spring.

"These four women are really petty, going to take a bath without inviting me," Ye Feng muttered softly.

Of course, he was just venting.

If they truly invited him, he would feel embarrassed!

After all, Xia Yao is his friend, Huo Lingjiao, Hu Feifei, and Xue Rongqing are sect members, not romantic partners.

Bathing together would be inappropriate.

Though, Ye Feng did want to go!

"I’ll look around nearby."

Ye Feng constantly felt that the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom held many secrets, so he began wandering the premises, hoping to find the second layer of the "Decrypting Eye."

...

Inside the humid hot spring bathroom.

Four beautiful women lay back in a pool heated by Eternal Divine Pool Water, wrapped in towels, their bodies flushed, their faces slightly red.

"Wow, this is so comfortable! Next time I’ll definitely drag the Sect Master in here to soak," Hu Feifei surprisingly said.

Xue Rongqing was stunned for a moment, then her face became even redder, "You’re right, how could I forget the Sect Master, we should have invited him earlier."

"Haha, you think so too?" Hu Feifei looked at Xue Rongqing beside her and blinked.

"Indeed!" Xue Rongqing nodded.

"Seems like we have quite the synergy," Hu Feifei showed a meaningful smile.

"No way!" Huo Lingjiao quickly hugged her proud chest, "You two are really perverted, wanting to bring a man in here!"

"That’s the Sect Master, not just anyone," Xue Rongqing and Hu Feifei said in unison.

This left Huo Lingjiao speechless.

Only Xia Yao remained silent.

But when thinking about the possibility of bathing together, wouldn’t it allow a close view of Ye Feng’s tall figure, and whether he has a good physique?

Given his prowess, his physique must be impressive, right?

Hmm, I really do want to see it!

Thinking this, Xia Yao covered her mouth and laughed quietly.

"Wow, you all have ulterior motives!"

Huo Lingjiao realized, even Xia Yao wanted to bring Ye Feng in for a bath, sparking a water fight among them, having lots of fun.

Meanwhile.

Ye Feng sat in a grand hall.

This was the supreme temple of the Eternal Star God King, lavishly decorated with many maids serving, allowing the Eternal Star God King to enjoy a treatment surpassing an emperor.

At this moment, at a long table.

Ye Feng, the Eternal Star God King, the Venus God-King, and several other God-Kings gathered together, drinking tea made from Ye Feng’s Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves.

"Sect Master Ye, you really are a dragon among men."

One God-King couldn’t help but praise.

Despite being one of the Nine Great God-Kings of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, possessing a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation level and combat power exceeding King Seven Stars, immensely powerful.

But, the person before them was Ye Feng!

A prodigy able to slay a peak Half-Step Heavenly Venerable!

The most terrifying thing is that he has just recently broken through to the ninety-fourth layer Immortal Emperor. If he breaks through to the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm, he might be able to challenge or defeat an average Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

What terrifying combat power is this?

No one can foresee Ye Feng’s future.

The God-Kings present were all respectful and apprehensive of him.

"This God-King, you flatter me, Ye here is but an ordinary person, hardly a dragon among men. Compared to you esteemed seniors, I still have much to learn!" Ye Feng replied with a smile.

These words pleased the God-Kings greatly.

Listen! This is a genuine statement!

Unlike that arrogant Mysterious God, who surely would boast himself greatly and belittle everyone else, not like Ye Feng’s humble and low-key manner, making his words comforting.

"Esteemed God-Kings, I’m curious, as the leaders of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, do none of you actually know the second layer of the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability ’Decrypting Eye’?"

Ye Feng looked around.

Earlier, he asked the Venus God-King, who said they had only learned the first layer of the ’Decrypting Eye,’ as for the second layer, no one understood it.

It’s like a mystery.

"Don’t be misled by our Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm status as God-Kings, in the eyes of a Heavenly Venerable, we are mere ants, how could we possibly learn the second layer of the ’Decrypting Eye’? Just obtaining the first layer was a gracious gift from Lord Heavenly Venerable. Moreover, due to certain reasons, the second layer isn’t something one can learn easily. Even the first layer we haven’t all mastered," the Venus God-King lamented.

Upon reflection, Ye Feng agreed.

Who is the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable?

That is a super strong entity at the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

"Looks like I’ll have to search within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom myself," Ye Feng muttered.

He wasn’t afraid of being overheard.

After all, no one held high hopes for Ye Feng, believing that even if he scoured the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom thoroughly, he couldn’t find the second layer of the ’Decrypting Eye.’

"By the way, are there any other Secret Realms in the Divine Country?"

Ye Feng considered this.

"Like the Law’s Secret Realm Eternal Sand Universe, Purple Garden and such Secret Realms?" the Eternal Star God King asked.

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.

"Apparently... there’s one more Secret Realm, but even we can’t open it. However, that Secret Realm seems empty, so opening it is probably futile," a female God-King whispered, then took out a token.

This is the key to opening that Secret Realm.

"Thank you!" Ye Feng cupped his hands.

An hour later.

Ye Feng and the female God-King walked through a lush bamboo grove, along a winding path, eventually arriving at a three-story cottage hidden deep within the forest.

"This place feels familiar!"

Ye Feng blinked, feeling that this place was similar to the Purple Bamboo Forest within the Void Realm.

Yet, there were differences.

"This is the Secret Realm." The female God-King took out the key and opened the cottage’s door.

Creak!

Once the door opened, what greeted them was a void within the cottage, invoking a sense of loneliness.

"This is called the Void Secret Realm." The female God-King put away the key, "We opened it once, but it was entirely void inside, so we have no understanding of its purpose."

"Thanks, I’ll take a look." Ye Feng entered the strange world within the cottage, discovering it was vast inside, yet contained nothing.

Even using the Eye of Insight gave no clues as to what was hidden within.

"Could there truly be nothing?"

Ye Feng surveyed his surroundings, constantly calculating.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Haha, got it!" Ye Feng recalled that the Mad Drunkard within his sect had the first-layer mind technique of the ’Decrypting Eye’ engraved upon him. He always thought the Mad Drunkard to be the reincarnation of the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable.

So, should I bring the Mad Drunkard here?

With that thought, Ye Feng swiftly returned to the Misty Holy Sect, dragging the Mad Drunkard, who was boasting about drinking with Liufeng, to the Void Secret Realm within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

"What’s this place?"

The Mad Drunkard lifted his head, observing the cottage deep within the bamboo grove, changes began to appear in his eyes, as if awakening, but a certain seal blocked it, leaving the Mad Drunkard merely standing at the door, without a response.

"Come with me and check it out."

Ye Feng entered the Void Secret Realm with the Mad Drunkard, causing the bizarre crimson pattern on the Mad Drunkard’s back to heat up. It was a vertical eye-shaped tattoo formed by countless ancient symbols, mysterious and unfathomable.

Previously, Ye Feng had comprehended the first layer of "Decrypting Eye" from this vertical eye tattoo.

Now, the vertical eye is glowing!

This scene made Ye Feng ecstatic.

He knew that this time, there was hope!

Buzz!

The next moment, the crimson vertical eye tattoo unleashed a terrifying beam of destruction, engulfing both Mad Drunkard and Ye Feng, expanding to encompass the entire Void Secret Realm.

Bam!

The door of the bamboo house automatically shut, locking from the inside, it couldn’t be opened even with a key.

An era vast and ancient.

Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes.

He noticed that Mad Drunkard was nowhere to be seen; he himself was wearing ancient clothing, quickly went to the riverbank and peered at the water’s surface, discovering that he had become a young boy.

The individual’s appearance was quite ordinary.

His entire cultivation level was merely at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

"I am currently borrowing the body of an ancient person from the first Origin Era, and I am able to control this person’s body, going wherever I wish."

Ye Feng muttered.

Immediately, he surveyed his surroundings.

He was in a vast plantation where strange plants grew all around, each only a meter tall, with red fruits at the top.

They resembled sour grape fruits.

Within this plantation, there were numerous cultivators of the Immortal Realm, carrying bamboo baskets and continuously picking the ripe sour grape fruits for brewing.

"Hurry up, the Heavenly Venerable is preaching!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, making the immortals picking the sour grape fruits rejoice and hastily fly away, carrying their bamboo baskets.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.

"A Heavenly Venerable preaching? So, now is the decade after the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable’s enlightenment."

Ye Feng thought to himself.

After a period of flying.

Everyone arrived around a Floating Island, but being of the Immortal Realm, Ye Feng and the others couldn’t enter; only Immortal Emperor Level experts were qualified to enter.

At the pinnacle of the Floating Island.

There, a phantom figure was seated cross-legged.

This was none other than the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable.

But because he was a Heavenly Venerable, his life level was too high, exceeding the universe’s tolerance limit, his body became transparent to temporarily weaken the pressure and strength, preventing the universe from collapsing and causing catastrophic destruction.

Moreover, a Heavenly Venerable could only stay for another ten years.

When the time was up, he must ascend.

"Fellow Daoists!"

At this moment, the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable slowly spoke, his voice not loud but clearly heard by everyone, enabling them to understand distinctly.

"Welcome to listen to my preaching."

"Today, I speak on a peculiar divine skill called "Decrypting Eye". Once mastered, it can break all seals in the world."

"Fellow Daoists, listen carefully!"

As he spoke, the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable began his explanation.

He used both his hands and words, drawing a red vertical eye pattern in the void formed by a complex array of patterns, appearing quite profound.

Meanwhile, he continuously explained.

Ye Feng noticed that the surrounding cultivators were puzzled, unable to comprehend what the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable was saying.

After all, it was a Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability.

Without extraordinary insight, understanding even the first layer was impossible, let alone the subsequent ones.

After a short hour.

Most of the people present were bewildered, only Ye Feng understood, realizing this was the first layer of "Decrypting Eye", and it was more detailed than what he had learned.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng gained new insights.

Through his deduction, he quickly mastered the first layer and could deduce the second layer.

"That’s all for the first layer."

At this point, the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable’s voice sounded again.

"Fellow Daoists, this Heavenly Venerable Divine Skill is extremely profound and obscure; whatever you grasp is your own fortuity. Greater fortuity leads to greater mastery and stronger power."

"And that’s it for this preaching."

"As for the second layer of "Decrypting Eye", you’ll need to comprehend it yourselves as it’s not a fixed technique, entirely dependent on your own mastery."

"Fellow Daoists, until we meet again!"

Upon saying this, the phantom figure of the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable gradually ascended, transforming into a pillar of colorful light that rose skyward, accompanied by many top-ranked Immortal Emperors.

These were followers of the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable.

This was ascension!

As a Heavenly Venerable, when the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable ascended, he could take many people along with him. In an instant, the universe was missing hundreds of hundred-layered Immortal Emperors.

"Did it just end like that?"

Ye Feng was bewildered.

Although this time’s preaching allowed him to complete the first layer of "Decrypting Eye" and deduce part of the second layer, he still hadn’t fully completed it.

This left Ye Feng speechless.

Soon after, he noticed the figures of nine hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level experts, including the Eternal Star God King and others.

In a moment, the surrounding scene shattered.

Ye Feng found his consciousness had quickly returned to the Void Secret Realm of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, with Mad Drunkard standing there in confusion.

"Sect Leader, what just happened?"

Mad Drunkard scratched his head, feeling as though he was drunk and remembered nothing.

"Nothing." Ye Feng shook his head.

The next moment, the Void Secret Realm’s door automatically opened, and Ye Feng and Mad Drunkard left leisurely.

"Sect Master Ye, did you gain anything?"

Upon seeing Ye Feng and Mad Drunkard come out, several Divine Kings waiting outside asked with concern.

Ye Feng frowned and said, "Was the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable preaching before he ascended?"

"Sect Master Ye, how do you know this?" The present Divine Kings were surprised looking at Ye Feng.

"Recorded images." Ye Feng explained.

"In the Void Secret Realm, there are recorded images of that preaching from back then?" Eternal Star God King was astonished.

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, "I even saw you all from back then, by the way, you learned the first layer of "Decrypting Eye" during that preaching, right?"

"Yes." The Divine Kings nodded.

"I see, now I understand." Ye Feng recalled the words of the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable, feeling he must rely on his own fortuity to deduce the second layer.

Depending on others isn’t feasible.

Moments later.

Ye Feng bid farewell to the Eternal Star God King and others, sent Mad Drunkard back to the Misty Holy Sect, and then went alone to Xia Yao’s National Adviser Holy Hall, listening to the playful voices of the four beauties as he began secluded comprehension.

"The greater the fortuity, the more complete the comprehension, the greater the power exerted. Moreover, I must deduce the second layer from the complete first layer I have now obtained."

Ye Feng thought to himself.

Even the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable said, the second layer of "Decrypting Eye" isn’t a fixed path; perhaps a thousand people will have a thousand different techniques.

"Fortunately, my insight surpasses the Heavenly Venerable. Along with the amplification of Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, and now the complete first layer, deducing the second layer isn’t difficult."

Ye Feng took a sip of tea and closed his eyes to comprehend.
