Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1201: Chapter 71: Expansion Methods of the Fate Dao

Again and again, but not a third time.

If he hadn’t benefited twice before from the Corrosive Fate Dao,

it’s hard to say he wouldn’t have probed this time.

But after some thought, he chose to give up.

“Such a core ability surely won’t be as easy to negotiate as before, perhaps even impossible to secure.”

If the authority to govern the fate of living beings is seized, is it still the Fate Dao?

You can imagine, even if he tried to negotiate, the Corrosive Fate Dao would not easily compromise.

“I’d better go meet this Heir of Destiny who has successfully attained enlightenment first!”

Ye Feng was already extraordinary, and now with such a transformation, he certainly couldn’t approach it like the second enlightenment, handling it as a mere formality.

At this moment, Ye Feng had already obtained the Dao Fruit, learning much from the information— all added by Wang Sheng to avoid having to explain it anew each time.

Ye Feng immediately noticed another person by his side.

Now, who could silently appear beside him without needing much thought? Only one person in the starry sky: “Greetings, True Saint!”

The strongest in the starry sky now, a Fourteenth Realm being, the Lifeless True Saint.

Upon seeing the Lifeless True Saint, Ye Feng paused for a moment: “It really is you.”

This person before him was the mysterious figure he saw when he broke through the constraints of the minor heavens and stepped into the true starry sky.

For tens of thousands of years, he had been seeking that person’s information.

But he had always found no corresponding information.

In the starry sky, no one seemed to know of the minor heavens’ existence; even the people he once met in the Martial Arts Great World, he hadn’t found.

To achieve such a feat, it seemed only the Lifeless True Saint could do it in the starry sky.

But doubting was one thing; actually seeing him still unsettled Ye Feng, even though he had now reached the Thirteenth Realm.

“It’s been only sixty thousand years, and you’ve already become a Thirteenth Realm. You did not disappoint me.”

Becoming a Thirteenth Realm in sixty thousand years is a span unimaginably short.

“Did I become a Thirteenth Realm all because of your plan?” Ye Feng realized becoming a Thirteenth Realm in sixty thousand years was explosively rare, even seeming unusual to himself.

He more than once doubted if someone was orchestrating everything behind him.

But he never discovered anything, and this question had always lingered in his mind. Now, having the chance, he directly asked.

Wang Sheng shook his head: “Though it’s indeed somewhat related to me, I knew you could become a formidable person, yet how to reach the Thirteenth Realm depended on yourself.”

At the moment Ye Feng stepped out of the minor heavens, there was no longer an arrangement of fate.

But to say it had nothing to do with me would clearly be incorrect too.

Thus, he gave this response.

“I can certainly become a formidable person?”

“Yes, being able to step out of the setup of the minor heavens isn’t something a common person can achieve. What you bear isn’t simple.”

“What I bear… True Saint, can you tell me?”

Wang Sheng shook his head.

The rivalry between the two Fate Daos couldn’t easily be disclosed.

Ye Feng wasn’t surprised either.

He, too, wouldn’t reveal some of his plans to others.

“I understand, but the True Saint shouldn’t mind if I try to uncover the truth, right?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng suddenly smiled, “Of course you can. If you’re capable of uncovering the truth, I’d actually be more than happy to see it.”

If Ye Feng could touch upon the truth, it represents he has grown to a high level.

This is surely a good thing for the Fate Dao.

“Don’t worry, although I have some arrangements for you, there are no deceitful traps, so to speak. Your growth benefits me. Of course, if you’re dissatisfied with it all, just break through everything again like when you dismantled the constraints of the minor heavens.”

“Of course, this difficulty might plunge you into despair.”

Breaking the confinements of the minor heavens was arranged by the Fate Dao.

The following happenings, however, lacked arrangements from the Fate Dao.

Hearing this, Ye Feng didn’t say much more.

Wang Sheng also didn’t use Telepathy to probe his mind.

How to proceed depends on Ye Feng’s own choices now.

Then, the topic shifted, “Let’s not dwell on these issues for now; let’s talk about more important matters. Now that you’re a Thirteenth Realm too, you understand the Thirteenth Realm’s mission. Where have you chosen to guard among the starry skies?”

Ye Feng quickly gathered his thoughts; he had considered this question before, so he directly said, “True Saint, I wish to know where among the starry skies the minor heavens belong to?”

“If you want to return to the minor heavens, don’t think about it. The minor heavens do not belong to any segment of the starry skies, and it houses significant setups of mine, so I won’t let you return.” Wang Sheng directly refused Ye Feng’s request.

Perhaps, in the future, he would lift the restrictions on the minor heavens, but definitely not now.

Ye Feng was somewhat disappointed.

But he soon revitalized and said, “In that case, then the Old Land Starry Sky!”

The first starry sky he entered was the Old Land Starry Sky, so if he had to choose, naturally it would be the Old Land.

“Alright, go serve as a Vice Alliance Hierarch in the True Saint Alliance!”

Now, across the starry skies, each has Thirteen Realm guardians. Wang Sheng couldn’t make anyone step down, and as for now being a Thirteenth Realm, he could only serve as a Vice Alliance Hierarch.

Moreover, the current Ye Feng might not even be Long Yue’s opponent.

“Alright, True Saint.”

Ye Feng had heard of the renowned True Saint Alliance.

He had once marveled at the power of the True Saint Alliance, yet now he was to become its Vice Alliance Hierarch.

“Sure, then go ahead. Remember to cultivate well; being able to step into the starry sky from the minor heavens has an element of luck, but your own effort is indispensable. Continue practicing; greater opportunities lie ahead.”

Those emerging from the minor heavens are those with potential to refine the Daluo Realm Dao Fruit in the future.

Ye Feng wouldn’t stop here.

Ye Feng didn’t speak much further.

Despite becoming a Thirteenth Realm, his doubts were even more pronounced.

Now he could only take it step by step, starting with taking up his post in the True Saint Alliance.

After all, it seemed the Lifeless True Saint harbored no malice against him, and as a matter of fact, held him in high regard.

Where this regard originated, he didn’t know, but at least it ensured his own safety, which was undoubtedly an advantage for him.

“Then this is farewell, True Saint.”

“Go now!”

Afterward, Ye Feng left for the True Saint Alliance residence.

“Looking at it now, Ye Feng’s connection to the Fate Dao has deepened. Standing before him, one could even sense the presence of the Fate Dao… Maybe in the future, the Fate Dao can pave its way through him.”

In interacting with Ye Feng, what he most desired to observe was naturally what pertained to the Fate Dao.

With every meeting, the fate Dao’s imprints on Ye Feng grew more profound.

This “lucky one” unintentionally chosen seemed, to some extent, to become pivotal in the struggle between the Fate Dao and the Corrosive Fate Dao for authority.

“Don’t perish so easily… Ye Feng!”

Wang Sheng returned to the Daoist School, waiting for the next onset of the Supreme Road.

And so, another thirty thousand years swiftly passed by.

The starry sky creatures had become familiar with the presence of the Supreme Road.

Once the Supreme Road opened, countless powerhouses surged in.

Over such a long period, native beings even emerged upon the Supreme Road, naturally forming layer after layer of trials.

To attain enlightenment on the Supreme, cultivators must experience everything, beginning from the Origin City, constantly building momentum.

As the Supreme Road opened.

Wang Sheng also arose from seclusion.

“As expected, they came again—the cultivators of the Corrosive Fate Dao. As anticipated, no replicas were found among those marked by the Fate Dao I created.”

“Defeated three times in a row, they send out cultivators again. I must see, what gives them such confidence?”

“If the situation remains unchanged, I shall not hesitate to accept the gains as provisions for my ascension!”

Thanks to the persistent “gifting” from the Corrosive Fate Dao.

His cultivation progressed rapidly.

If this time a starry sky creature attained enlightenment, his ascension wouldn’t be far off.

“By securing benefits from the starry sky, the Fate Dao has recorded more creatures. A victory or two more, and I can smoothly ascend.”

From starting cultivation to the present, twenty-some thousand years had passed.

It was very short, considering a Fourteenth Realm’s lifespan.

Yet, in the time following the initiation of the Supreme Road, his progress soared.

His cultivation was nearly at a breakthrough.
