Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 567 - 562: Two Thousand Eight Hundred Acupoints

All those present harbored some schadenfreude to varying degrees. After all, the Four Great Powers were always in conflict, and any sign of weakness from a rival faction was cause for celebration.

Following the departure of the Wizard Alliance, Wos of the Vampire Divine Court cast a penetrative glance towards the Xuanyuan Hall area, and with a lofty sneer said, "The prodigies of Xuanyuan Hall in this generation are truly outstanding. How enviable. I do hope you all manage to survive until the end on the Outer Battlefield."

Wos revealed a bloodthirsty grin at the corner of his mouth as he led the members of his Vampire Divine Court away without delay.

The Snake God Master of the Yin-Yang Temple also gave the people of Xuanyuan Hall an extra look or two, before hastily leaving with a group of Onmyoji.

Outside the valley, only those from the Xuanyuan Hall remained.

Zhao Xuanzhen was very pleased with the crowd, especially Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong. It was indeed surprising that he, a figure above the rank of Hall Master and a being beyond the Golden Core Realm, was finding it hard to read these two youngsters.

Now he actually couldn't see through two individuals of the Golden Core Realm?

Zhao Xuanzhen raised his eyebrows, attempting to probe into Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong, but he found that his aura, once extended, seemed to sink into a quagmire, unable to discern anything. This startled him; what was going on?

At that moment, Chi Jark cleared his throat, followed closely by Xiao Rulong who similarly coughed softly.

Zhao Xuanzhen's eyelids twitched as he looked at the two, only to notice they were both staring back at him.

Had he been discovered?

Zhao Xuanzhen's mouth twitched slightly. It was almost impossible for typical Golden Core individuals to detect his probing, he being of a higher Realm - their awareness was indeed extraordinary. Including their auras, which were so restrained, not much could be seen, but it was clear that their Realms were firm and solid, much more so than that of other Golden Core individuals. They were indeed true Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm. As for their strength, undoubtedly powerful, likely even capable of dealing with many veteran Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm.

The Ancient Clan is indeed remarkable.

Zhao Xuanzhen thought with admiration and took a glance at the group, only to pause. "Where is Ye Feng?"

"Why isn't he here?"

Everyone frowned. Ye Feng?

They looked around and indeed found no sign of the Northern Border King, Ye Feng!

It was only then that Xiao Chuanqi and the others came to their senses. Where had their lord gone?

Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong raised their eyebrows, filled with doubt.

Zhao Xuanzhen had a bad premonition and with a stern face said, "What's going on, the five-day period has ended, why hasn't he been teleported out?"

"Ye Feng didn't enter the Spirit Essence Pool?"

Chi Jark shook his head and said, "Hall Master, when we were selected for the Spirit Essence Pool, we did not see Ye Feng. After entering the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, we haven't seen a trace of him either."

Chi Jark's brows furrowed after speaking. What was happening? Why wasn't Ye Feng seen? Could it be that he was still in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm?

"Not seen? How could he not be seen? The Heavenly Origin Secret Realm has been opened for so many years, and no one has ever gone missing inside. Where in the world has he gone?"

Zhao Xuanzhen was baffled. He had high hopes for Ye Feng; after all, he was Xuanyuan Nation's Northern Border King, and despite his youth, he already possessed the power to battle Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm. Ye Feng was a supremely excellent seedling for Xuanyuan Hall, and now he had disappeared in the supposedly very safe Heavenly Origin Secret Realm?

Xiao Rulong shook his folding fan and furrowed his brows.

"Perhaps that Ye Feng has already got lost in a spatial rift within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm and perished?"

At this point, Hong Gaishi suddenly spoke, his voice solemn.

All the faces present changed color; Hong Gaishi's speculation was not impossible. Indeed, spatial rifts could appear within the Secret Realm, and should anyone carelessly fall into one, they could be devoured by the chaotic currents within!

"Impossible, our lord definitely could not have fallen into a spatial rift!"

Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others were red-eyed, with Xiao Chuanqi stepping forward to retort.

Although they said so, they were all extremely unsettled at heart. Ye Feng truly hadn't returned!

Hong Gaishi sneered, "Then explain why he hasn't appeared here. Where is he?"

He was surprised that Ye Feng hadn't appeared, but Ye Feng's misfortune was good news for the Hong Family, and he was of course happy.

Xiao Chuanqi's expression faltered; Hong Gaishi was not wrong—he couldn't explain it.

It was well known that the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm would open for a maximum of five days. Once that time elapsed, all individuals would be transported out by the Secret Realm. So why hadn't they seen Ye Feng?

Zhao Xuanzhen looked grim. Although they had ten Golden Core individuals, Ye Feng was a real super prodigy. Losing such a prodigy would be a tremendous loss for the Yin-Yang Temple; could he really have been lost to the spatial chaos?

After some contemplation, Zhao Xuanzhen then said, "The rest may return to Xuanyuan Hall on their own to report, handing in the Spirit Stones. I shall wait here for one more day."

With so many new Golden Core individuals, coupled with so many Half-Step Golden Cores together, they should not encounter too much danger on the Outer Battlefield. Moreover, five individuals had emerged from the Spirit Essence Pool. Excluding Hong Gaishi who had not officially entered the Golden Core Realm, the other four were genuine Golden Core individuals straight from the Spirit Essence Pool.

This force would be formidable on the Outer Battlefield, and unless they encountered someone above the Golden Core Realm, they could essentially do as they pleased. As for those beyond the Golden Core Realm, most of them stayed put within their factions' strongholds and wouldn't casually come out, thus ensuring safety considerations were generally unnecessary.

"We want to stay and wait for our lord to emerge. We do not believe that our lord has truly fallen into a spatial rift."

Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others stood up as well.

The shadow also had a cold expression on her face. Although she felt somewhat uneasy, she firmly believed that Ye Feng wouldn't die so easily within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

Leng Wuming and Gai Jiuyou kept a grave face, silently stepping forward. They, too, decided to wait for Ye Feng's emergence.

Zhao Xuanzhen looked at Xiao Chuanqi and others without saying anything. He knew Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian were Ye Feng's subordinates. Since they were all waiting, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Then, Chi Jark, take everyone back."

Zhao Xuanzhen said, but just as his voice fell, Chi Jark also stepped forward.

"Hall Master, I also wish to wait here for Brother Ye, who is also my good friend. I don't believe that he would perish inside the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm either," Chi Jark said as he stood beside Xiao Chuanqi and the others. He too wanted to wait, trusting his intuition that nothing had happened to Ye Feng.

Zhao Xuanzhen was somewhat helpless and could only look toward Xiao Rulong, hoping he would lead the others back. After all, from what he had learned, Xiao Rulong ranked second only to Chi Jark among the top hundred prodigies in the show of strength within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

He was actually still puzzled; the Xiao Family's Little Chubby always kept a low profile, barely ranking in the top ten of geniuses. How had he become so formidable in the Secret Realm?

However, these questions could be asked later; right now, the focus had to remain on Ye Feng.

But Xiao Rulong was also shaking his folding fan and said with a light smile, "I'll stay as well. I just want to see."

Zhao Xuanzhen was completely speechless. Turning to the Buddhist Sect's Golden Cicada, Golden Cicada proved to be understanding. Having no close ties with Ye Feng, he stepped forward and bowed, "Rest assured, Hall Master, I will ensure everyone's safe return to Xuanyuan Hall."

Zhao Xuanzhen then nodded in satisfaction, "You may go."

Golden Cicada nodded, then turned and led the crowd away.

Outside the valley at that moment, a group of people was anxiously awaiting Ye Feng's appearance.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng himself was still in that chamber within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

The White-Bearded Elder had already appeared in the chamber, watching Ye Feng as he continued to Open Aperture.

"Nearly two thousand eight hundred acupoints now..." Elder Bai murmured, eyes filled with amazement. He hadn't immediately transported Ye Feng out because it was a critical period.

Ye Feng already reached two thousand seven hundred ninety-nine acupoints and was on the brink of breaking through the two thousand eight hundredth acupoint!

He couldn't afford any interruptions!

Countless amounts of Origin Energy still converged towards Ye Feng. Despite having absorbed a vast amount of Origin Energy, the two thousand eight hundredth acupoint still showed no signs of breaking through.

Ye Feng, however, remained calm as still water, absorbing the boundless Origin Energy like a whale taking in water, gradually filling up the two thousand eight hundredth acupoint bit by bit.

It was close now!

Almost there!

He was about to break through the two thousand eight hundredth acupoint!

The Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll in the Sea of Consciousness of the Heavenly Heart Palace was helping Ye Feng to absorb frantically; another hour passed.

Ye Feng, with eyes closed, now bore an expression of joy; he had breached the two thousand eight hundredth acupoint!

He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils deep and profound, his aura mighty and peerless, even seeming to match that of Elder Bai.

He scanned around and noticed that the Origin Energy within the chamber had thinned out, nearly all absorbed by him. Feeling the formidable strength within his body, his face was lit with delight.

"Congratulations, my emperor!" Elder Bai now floated over and bowed in congratulations.

"The five days should be up by now; why haven't I been transported out?" Ye Feng asked. While he was opening his acupoints, he was also keeping track of the time. Considering that the tentatively scheduled five days should have ended, even half a day had passed, yet he was still there practicing, which piqued his curiosity.

"My Emperor, indeed the five days have expired. However, seeing that my Emperor was in a crucial phase, I did not transport my Emperor out," Elder Bai replied.

"The transportation of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm is also managed by me, so of course, I can control it."

Elder Bai explained, after all, as the Spirit of the Secret Realm, he had the final say on who got transported out.

"You've done well."

Ye Feng was very pleased, nodding his head. He liked this kind of privilege.

It was also true that the two thousand eight hundredth acupoint required a vast amount of Origin Energy. He had absorbed it for almost half a day before successfully breaking through.

"By the way, why can we only stay in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm for five days?"

Ye Feng was curious about why there was a limit of five days and what the significance of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm's fixed opening was.
