Chapter 1680: Chapter 1669: Comprehension! Breakthrough!
Dragon Origin Secret Realm!
In the vast desert!
Two suns scorched the earth from above, and the temperature in the desert was getting higher and higher.
Ye Chenfeng held Li Yanyan’s hand as they walked forward, after completely leaving the sensing range of the blue jade pendant.
Ye Chenfeng gradually slowed down. Due to the extreme heat of the desert, both Ye Chenfeng and Li Yanyan’s hands were sweating.
Li Yanyan, dressed in red tight-fitting clothes, had a flushed face, and being held by Ye Chenfeng like this, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
Ye Chenfeng let go of Li Yanyan’s hand, which made Li Yanyan feel a bit disappointed. She asked, "Ye Chenfeng, why didn’t you take action to teach those two disciples from the Heavenly Sound Sect a lesson? I know with your strength, you definitely could have done it."
Ye Chenfeng flicked Li Yanyan’s forehead, saying, "I’ve told you to call me Ancestor, don’t be so informal all the time. If I had acted to kill that idiot from the Heavenly Sound Sect, although Yu Shuiyao is helping us, she is ultimately still a disciple of the Heavenly Sound Sect. Once I make a killing move, we would be completely at odds with the Heavenly Sound Sect."
"I’m not afraid of being at odds with the Heavenly Sound Sect, it’s just that Feibai hasn’t joined us yet, and now is not the right time to completely fall out with the Heavenly Sound Sect."
Li Yanyan rubbed her forehead, looking exasperated. She knew Ye Chenfeng was right. After all, they were already at a deadly standoff with the other three major sects, and there were also two disciples from the Soul Devouring Sect who had entered the Dragon Origin Secret Realm.
How big is this Dragon Origin Secret Realm?
No one knows.
Two days later.
Ye Chenfeng and Li Yanyan were still walking in the desert. In this desert, they had not encountered any powerful beasts, and the past two days had been relatively smooth.
Ye Chenfeng looked toward the right direction, vaguely seeing a building in the distance.
Ye Chenfeng’s expression was excited, and he said to Li Yanyan, "Hurry and follow."
Ten minutes later.
Ye Chenfeng and Li Yanyan smoothly arrived in front of the building on the right.
Ye Chenfeng looked at the plaque hanging on top of the building, on which was written the three large characters "Ascendant Pavilion" in flamboyant script.
Ye Chenfeng’s earlier guess was correct, this building was indeed the Ascendant Pavilion.
According to what Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an had said before, there were four Ascendant Pavilions in the Dragon Origin Secret Realm.
The Ascendant Pavilion Ye Chenfeng and Li Yanyan discovered should be in the middle of the desert, and they should be the first ones to discover it.
After all, this desert is extremely vast, and previously Yu Shuiyao, Shao Yang, and Li Yueshuang had walked in the desert for three days and had the unfortunate luck of missing this Ascendant Pavilion.
This Ascendant Pavilion has three floors. The whole pavilion looks extremely ancient.
The Ascendant Pavilion is built from wooden materials, and logically speaking, after so many years, these wooden materials should have decayed, but apart from being a bit old, the wood on the Ascendant Pavilion shows no signs of decay.
"Is this the Ascendant Pavilion of the Dragon Origin Secret Realm?" Li Yanyan asked curiously.
Ye Chenfeng did not answer Li Yanyan’s question; his gaze fixed on a wall on the left side outside the Ascendant Pavilion.
The left wall was inscribed with ancient and powerful characters, each of which seemed to contain a kind of strength.
Ye Chenfeng silently recited the words carved on the wall in his heart.
"How high is the sky?"
"Take a step to ascend the sky!"
"Can you break through the firmament?"
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were glued to these three sentences, as if he saw the characters on the wall starting to wriggle.
An aura of ancient power washed over him.
With a "buzz!" sound.
Ye Chenfeng’s mind instantly entered a state of enlightenment, the expression on his face vanished completely, as serene as a lake surface ruffled by no waves.
Standing beside Ye Chenfeng, Li Yanyan didn’t feel anything strange. She noticed Ye Chenfeng not responding and looked over. Seeing his expressionless, concentrated appearance, she knew Ye Chenfeng had entered a state of enlightenment.
An enlightenment state is serendipitous and rare, and Li Yanyan didn’t expect Ye Chenfeng to enlighten just by standing in front of the Ascendant Pavilion?
Li Yanyan’s eyes also locked onto the words carved on the wall, but no matter how wide she opened her eyes, she felt no trace of enlightenment.
Just as Li Yanyan was feeling quite frustrated.
With a "creak!" sound.
From his enlightenment state, Ye Chenfeng pushed open the wooden door of the Ascendant Pavilion and walked in.
Li Yanyan knew the enlightenment state mustn’t be disturbed, so she could only quietly follow behind Ye Chenfeng.
Walking into the Ascendant Pavilion.
A musty scent seemingly filled the air.
Li Yanyan’s nose wrinkled slightly, but the expressionless Ye Chenfeng completely ignored the scent in the air and walked to the staircase leading to the second floor.
I saw at the entrance to the second floor, on the wall beside it, were five carved characters.
Ascend to Heaven!
Break the Shackles!
These five words seemed to instantly crash into Ye Chenfeng’s mind.
Break the Shackles! Break the Shackles open!
Ye Chenfeng’s body suddenly felt lighter, and a burst of violent spiritual energy appeared out of nowhere in the air.
This spiritual energy quickly surged into Ye Chenfeng’s body, breaking through the bottleneck of the Initial Stage of the Second Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm. Ye Chenfeng’s strength smoothly advanced to the Middle Stage of the Second Heavenly Layer.
Following Ye Chenfeng, Li Yanyan gasped. Did Ye Chenfeng just casually break through a minor level like that?
"Creak! Creak! Creak!—"
Ye Chenfeng walked up the stairs, causing a light creaking sound on the wooden stairs.
Ye Chenfeng walked extremely slowly.
Upon reaching the staircase leading from the second floor to the third floor, Ye Chenfeng stopped again.
At the staircase leading from the second to the third floor, there were also five carved characters on the wall.
Ascend to Heaven!
Understand Heaven and Earth!
As these five words rushed into Ye Chenfeng’s mind, his eyes instantly became exceptionally bright, and his entire demeanor became calmer.
The violent spiritual energy surged again, instantly breaking through the bottleneck of the Middle Stage of the Second Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm, propelling Ye Chenfeng into the Late Stage.
Ye Chenfeng continued up to the third floor.
This Ascendant Pavilion had only three floors, with no stairs leading to a fourth floor.
However, outside the third floor of the Ascendant Pavilion, there was a platform, and on the platform stood a stele inscribed with five ancient characters.
Ascend to Heaven!
Reach Eternal Life!
With these five words crashing into Ye Chenfeng’s mind, his head was almost instantly filled with a certain force.
"Boom!"
There was chaos in Ye Chenfeng’s mind.
Simultaneously, violent spiritual energy appeared out of thin air again, rushing into Ye Chenfeng’s body.
Without a doubt, the bottleneck of the Late Stage of the Second Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm was also broken, and Ye Chenfeng smoothly advanced to the Peak of the Second Heavenly Layer.
Meanwhile, Li Yanyan stood inside the third floor of the Ascendant Pavilion, seemingly blocked by an invisible force. No matter what she did, she couldn’t get to the balcony outside the third floor, only able to watch Ye Chenfeng from afar.
A tumultuous storm brewed in Li Yanyan’s heart. Merely walking through the stairs of the Ascendant Pavilion once, and Ye Chenfeng broke through from the Initial Stage to the Peak of the Second Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm? Such a rapid gain in strength was too fast and too easy!
Standing on the platform outside the third floor of the Ascendant Pavilion, Ye Chenfeng.
His mind was in disarray, his calm facade vanished from his face.
At times, he laughed manically.
At times, he wept in agony.
At times, he howled at the sky.
...
After five minutes of fluctuating emotions, Ye Chenfeng’s face regained its tranquility, his eyes became intensely sharp, gazing at the sky as though he intended to pierce through it.
Ye Chenfeng suddenly raised his right arm, pointing at the sky, he roared: "The heavens are ruthless, all things have a lifespan! Why must the lifespans of all things be controlled by the heavens?"
"If this heaven won’t tolerate me, then I shall break through the heavens! Reach Eternal Life, live as long as the heavens! Kill any god that obstructs me, kill any demon that hinders me!"
Ye Chenfeng’s expression became ferocious.
This series of actions seemed to be influenced by a certain emotion.
Indeed.
Ascend to Heaven!
Reach Eternal Life!
The five words on the stele had completely pulled Ye Chenfeng into a strange state, so much so that Ye Chenfeng couldn’t even control his own emotions; everything he did was led by his emotions.
