Chapter 2744: Hidden Threat

Sky Pole City, inside a secret chamber.

Ye Chenfeng couldn’t stand the enthusiasm of those influential patriarchs; he wasn’t interested in anyone right now.

He simply hid in the secret chamber, publicly announcing that he needed a few days for closed-door cultivation.

Old White Wu Fengxian, Old Black Jiang Yuntian, Lin Wentian, and Kong Nanzhi all followed Ye Chenfeng into the chamber.

Kong Nanzhi asked, “Do we have any plans next?”

Old White and Old Black remained silent. Ever since they broke through to the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm days ago, they’ve always had a doubt. Now that Lin Wentian and Kong Nanzhi were here, it was time to voice this doubt.

Old White Wu Fengxian asked, “We’ve just stepped into the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, and we faintly feel that this peak is different from previous stages. We must focus on one cultivation technique to break through. Is it just our illusion or is it true?”

During the era of Old White and Old Black, the Divine Emperor Realm almost didn’t exist. After separating from the Divine Origin Realm, the Heaven and Earth Laws became even more suitable for cultivation than in the Ancient Era, allowing more Divine Emperor experts to emerge. So, Old White and Old Black didn’t know much about the Divine Emperor Realm.

Lin Wentian replied, “That’s indeed the case. When I broke through to the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm back then, I had the same feeling. You must focus on one cultivation technique to break through to the peak in one go.”

Kong Nanzhi looked at Old White and Old Black with confusion, “Why did you suddenly ask this?”

Then he suddenly realized something and fixed his gaze on Ye Chenfeng, “Are you saying that your disciple isn’t just cultivating one technique?”

Old White smiled bitterly, “That’s right, this little guy has cultivated three techniques in total: my Divine Blood Art, Old Black’s Demon Heaven Art, and the Dragon Clan’s Dragon God Art.”

Upon hearing Old White’s response, Kong Nanzhi blurted out, “All three are supreme techniques. Cultivating three supreme techniques simultaneously—are you crazy? Cultivating three supreme techniques at the same time and actually being safe? Moreover, reaching the late Divine Emperor Realm?”

Next to them, Ye Chenfeng said, “I’m currently cultivating four techniques simultaneously. I previously also cultivated the Eternal Emperor’s Eternal Codex.”

Old White and Old Black had not been with Ye Chenfeng constantly, so they naturally didn’t know he had cultivated another supreme technique, making them even more worried.

Ye Chenfeng’s cultivation of three supreme techniques was already enough to make people worry, let alone four. Initially, when they let Ye Chenfeng try to cultivate two supreme techniques, they didn’t expect such a limitation.

Ye Chenfeng continued, “You mean if I don’t exclusively cultivate one technique, I won’t be able to step into the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm?”

Old Black Jiang Yuntian nodded, “Kid, theoretically, yes. Old White and I didn’t anticipate this restriction for reaching the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm.”

Old Black’s tone was filled with apology. Ever since breaking through to the peak, they had been pondering over this, choosing not to reveal their speculation immediately to spare Ye Chenfeng from worrying.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t blame Old White and Old Black at all. If not for simultaneously cultivating Divine Blood Art and Demon Heaven Art, his combat power wouldn’t be so formidable. Cultivating Dragon God Art and Eternal Codex was entirely Ye Chenfeng’s own choice.

Old White Wu Fengxian spoke, “Little guy, given your current situation, even if the energy inside you is sufficient and you have comprehended the profound meaning of the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, you probably still can’t reach it.”

“Of course, there’s one possible way now. You have four different Spiritual Energy Rivers in your meridians and four distinct seas of consciousness between your brows.”

“If you can combine the four Spiritual Qi Rivers into one river and merge the four seas of consciousness into one, that would be equivalent to fusing the four techniques into one, greatly enhancing your overall strength. You might be able to break through to the peak directly. But merging the rivers and seas won’t be easy.”

Old Black Jiang Yuntian nodded in agreement, concurring with Old White’s opinion as it was the only method they devised to rescue the situation.

Lin Wentian couldn’t help but curse, “Madman! You’re all madmen. Cultivating four supreme techniques is already defying the heavens, and now you’re making this kid merge the four Spiritual Qi Rivers and seas of consciousness? It’s downright impossible.”

Kong Nanzhi also said, “Indeed, this kid is now at the late Divine Emperor Realm, nearly stepping into the peak. What does it matter if he becomes a peak powerhouse or not? His lifespan is long enough already; he should maintain his current condition.”

Old White and Old Black looked towards Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng spoke decisively, “I want to try. My goal is to step into the Eternal Life Realm. If I can’t even reach the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, how can I step into Eternal Life? Throughout this journey, I’ve experienced so much; I don’t want it to be all in vain.”

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s answer, Lin Wentian cursed again, “The disciple of a madman is indeed a madman.”

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Lin Wentian and said, “We need to quickly stop He Kongsheng; we don’t have much time left. Are you confident in blocking He Kongsheng from stepping into Eternal Life? Having another Peak Divine Emperor brings additional strength. If I can fuse all these techniques, my combat power will be greatly enhanced, many times stronger than before. I can aid in preventing He Kongsheng.”

On this point, Lin Wentian and Kong Nanzhi found it difficult to refute, and eventually, they could only sigh gently.

Ye Chenfeng sat cross-legged on the ground, first sensing the four Spiritual Energy Rivers within his meridians, each corresponding to one cultivation technique.

Each time, he could only activate one Spiritual Qi River, unable to mobilize all four simultaneously.

He tried rotating the activation of the four rivers and sought to activate all four concurrently.

But it was impossible to do so, his brows furrowed as he forcefully activated the four Spiritual Qi Rivers.

“Puff!”

The blood energy surged within.

Fresh blood spewed directly from his mouth.

Old White reminded from the side, “Little guy, don’t be too hasty. Calm yourself first; is there anything in this world you can’t achieve? Old Black and I have watched your growth; many improbable steps on others became possible on you. I believe this time will be no exception.”
