Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Han Yi’s Worry, Xin Guangxuan’s Arrival (Third Update)
“`

Under the giant ancient pine tree.

Brother Flathead was battling with three armored guardians.

After refining the spirit blood of the Fanged Mad Pig and various other pig demons, Brother Flathead’s cultivation level hadn’t increased much, but his defense had skyrocketed.

He stood upright, allowing the three armored guardians to pound on him.

“Hmph!”

Brother Flathead looked at the sky calmly and snorted disdainfully.

Seeing this, Ye Feng was speechless and said, “Poor Brother Flathead, unable to find a worthy opponent, has fallen to the point of fighting with armored guardians.”

Everyone watching Brother Flathead’s haughty pretense couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Alright, forget about it.”

Ye Feng withdrew his gaze, “Our Misty Sect has renamed itself from Misty Peak, and has passed the Star-Level Sect certification. From now on, we are a true Star-Level Sect. As disciples of a Star-Level Sect, we must cultivate even harder.”

“Yes,” the disciples didn’t dare to slack off.

As Misty Sect became a Star-Level Force, more and more cultivators were bound to join the Sect in the future. If they, as senior brothers and sisters, had a lower cultivation level than the newcomers, it would be a huge embarrassment.

Soon, the disciples dispersed to attend to their respective tasks.

In front of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, only Ye Feng, Hu Feifei, and Gong Qingqiu were left.

“Sect Leader, let me take your measurements so we can tailor-make the Sect Master’s exclusive outfit as soon as possible.”

After speaking, Gong Qingqiu felt that the first half of her sentence was a bit off, and her face flushed red.

Ye Feng understood instantly and also felt a bit awkward.

“I know the Sect Leader’s measurements.” Hu Feifei plucked a leaf, wrote a set of numbers on it with her fingertip, and handed it to Gong Qingqiu.

When Gong Qingqiu received the leaf, she was stunned.

The protector Hu Feifei actually knew the measurements of the Sect Leader’s garments; it was indeed strange.

Could it be that the relationship between the two was very close?

Gong Qingqiu considered this possibility.

But she didn’t ask further. Instead, she immediately began to take the measurements of everyone in Misty Sect, planning to find her old friend and start making the garments together.

Misty Sect returned to its previous tranquility.

Late at night.

County King City.

Han Er burst into a mansion like a flying arrow and upon seeing Han Yi, who was journaling, he said gravely, “Big brother, I know who killed Han San.”

“Hmm?”

Han Yi crushed the pen in his hand and his voice deepened, “Speak!”

“I went with Mo Wen and Zhou Weiran to the vicinity of Whitefloat City to conduct Star-Level Sect certification for Misty Peak. There, I discovered our Miniature Cave Heaven World right on the summit of Misty Peak!”

Han Er immediately reported, “Moreover, inside Misty Peak, there’s a purple-haired girl named Ji Ziling practicing the ‘Nine Revolutions Heavenly God Technique,’ and she’s already nearing the Third Order.”

During his time in Misty Peak, he had seen the duplicate Book of Names that Ye Feng took out, knowing the names of every disciple in Misty Peak.

Upon hearing this, Han Yi’s gaze flickered endlessly.

Since the murder of Han San and the disappearance of the Miniature Cave Heaven World, it hadn’t been long. But in such a short period, someone was already close to the Third Order of the ‘Nine Revolutions Heavenly God Technique’?

This talent was truly terrifying!

“It’s Misty Peak! I’ve heard that Misty Peak’s Sect Master Ye Feng possesses the strength of the Spirit Sea Realm, extremely formidable. No wonder he was able to dissolve my marking quietly and move the Miniature Cave Heaven World,” Han Yi gritted his teeth.

Han Er reminded him, “Big brother, I heard that Ye Feng had previously created Miniature Cave-Heaven Arrays for both the Yunhua Sect and the Myriad Islands Alliance, proving his expertise in this formation. Maybe, he didn’t rely on strength but on his formation techniques to break the marking.”

Han Yi sneered, “Does it make a difference?”

After a moment, Han Er felt that his brother had a point.

How exactly Ye Feng erased Han Yi’s marking was no longer important.

What mattered was that Ye Feng was the enemy!

“Big brother, this person is very powerful. We can’t handle him!” Han Er was worried.

He knew his level was only at the Fifth Order, equivalent to the fifth level of Element Gathering Realm. Even if Ye Feng didn’t make a move, just Gong Qingqiu and the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine alone could suppress him.

Han Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking out into the night sky.

“What’s the rush? I’m about to break through to Seventh Order, obtaining the strength of the Spirit Sea Realm. Why worry about Ye Feng? As far as I know, this person only relies on the power of a Spirit Sword. As long as I use my Divine Sense Power to suppress his Spirit Sword, he will definitely be unable to escape,” Han Yi said, his smile growing increasingly fierce.

“`

…

The next morning at dawn.

A message spread from the Sect Main Hall in County King City.

The high-ranked Misty Sect had passed the Star-Level Sect certification and would be crowned a One-Star Forces in seven days, simultaneously renaming itself “Misty Sect” and officially joining the ranks of sects.

As soon as the news broke, it sent ripples across all parties.

Some were joyful while others were troubled.

Yunhua Sect.

Yunhua Zhenren slapped his thigh and said, “Good, prepare the congratulatory gifts quickly and pay a visit to express congratulations to Sect Master Ye.”

Qingyun Sect.

A few elders looked at Qingyun Zhenren with disappointed eyes, pleading, “Sect Leader, it’s said that Ye Feng even created a Minor Spirit Vein. Please put your pride aside, offer your apologies, and admit your mistake properly!”

“A man’s knees are imbued with gold, even if the Heavenly King appears, this Sect Leader will not kneel!”

Qingyun Zhenren flew away in a rage.

Myriad Islands Alliance.

“Master Ye is blessed with great fortune; it was only a matter of time before his sect advanced to a sect. Quickly prepare the congratulations gifts, we will go to celebrate in a few days.”

Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong issued a resounding and authoritative voice.

Whitefloat City.

As a subordinate force of Misty Sect, the citizens looked up, gazing with reverence at the twin peaks shrouded in the misty clouds several miles away.

…

At the summit of Misty Peak.

[Sect Prestige Points +19776]

[Sect Prestige Points +9978]

The notification sounds continued without pause in his ears.

Since the Misty Sect was promoted to a Star-Level Sect, the slowly growing Prestige Points had skyrocketed from over two hundred thousand to four hundred thousand in just one day, nearly doubling!

Ye Feng knew that most of the Prestige Points came from the citizens of Whitefloat City; after all, Misty Sect had now become their “overarching sect” and true ruler.

Even the Power of Faith had increased significantly.

Ye Feng’s heart swelled with joy, and using the Refining Furnace, he crafted hundreds of dark red metal plaques with glittering gold characters on them.

This was, in fact, the invitation.

“Shi Lei, send out the invitations. Remember, speed is essential,” Ye Feng instructed earnestly.

Shi Lei took the invitations and bowed, “Sect Master Uncle, rest assured, I will complete the task.”

After that, he called over Huo Yunjie, Mo Ying, Long Tianxing, Jia Yulan, and Li Jiaojiao, whose cultivation levels were higher, and formed teams of two, taking the invitations to various powers.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

Ye Feng took a watering can, filled it with Spirit Spring Water from the newly constructed channel, and began watering the flowerbeds all around the peak, pre-emptively enjoying a laidback retired life.

Hu Feifei held a palm-leaf fan, standing by his side to fan and cool him.

“Sect Master Ye!”

A familiar voice came from afar.

Ye Feng looked up to see Xin Guangxuan standing on a Spirit Sword, hovering a hundred meters away, waving energetically at him.

“Xin Daoyou, what a rare visitor!”

Ye Feng deactivated the shield of the Five Elements Continuous Array, let Hu Feifei water the plants, and went to meet with Xin Guangxuan, approaching a newly built pavilion.

Seeing the completely transformed Misty Sect, Xin Guangxuan was filled with emotion.

The two sat opposite each other across a table, sipping tea.

“Eh, your cultivation aura seems to be several times stronger than that of the Qi Refinement pinnacle, but you haven’t developed Spiritual Sense… did you fail to break through to the Element Gathering Realm?” Ye Feng quickly noticed the change in Xin Guangxuan and exclaimed in surprise.

“Alas, it’s a long story!”

Xin Guangxuan sighed helplessly.

He was trying to break through his cultivation recently when complications arose during the formation of Spiritual Sense, leading to a failed breakthrough.

Based on past experiences, he would be trapped at this stage for life, with no chance of reaching the Element Gathering Realm.
