The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1228 - 1221: Just a Small Sect
Chapter 1228: Chapter 1221: Just a Small Sect
Seeing Ye Chenfeng resolutely shaking his head, Sun Boyi let out a helpless sigh. He knew the character of his once-removed grandson well; once he had made up his mind about something, nobody could persuade him to change it.
Primordial Heaven Initial Stage Sun Heng Fei, after being slightly stunned, clenched his fist tightly, walked up to Ye Chenfeng’s side, and said, "Chenfeng, I want to go with you to the Earth Profound Realm too. Don’t think I want to go there just because of you. Now that I know there are so many realms beyond the Transcendent Realm, I want to become stronger myself. Otherwise, I’m going to be left further and further behind by you."
Primordial Heaven Middle Stage Sun Xiaoli pursed her lips and said, "Chenfeng, I also want to become stronger. I’ll go with you too."
Sun Boyi and Sun Yang’an, among others, looked even more helpless on their faces when they heard the words of Sun Heng Fei and Sun Xiaoli. After a long time, Sun Boyi said, "The matters of you young people, leave them for you to decide! We will not go and add to the confusion in the Earth Profound Realm; maybe we would just become a burden to Chenfeng."
The young master of Red Flame Valley, Lie Yang, also said excitedly, "Dad, I too want to go to the Earth Profound Realm."
After a moment of silence, Lie Yan said, "Alright, let’s you and I also go to the Earth Profound Realm to see the high-level experts there."
Then, Lie Yan added, "Brother Ye, Heaven-reaching Sea is no simple matter. Ordinary ships simply cannot cross it. This time, four or five ships from the Earth Profound Realm came over. As long as we can board one of them, we will be able to reach the Earth Profound Realm smoothly."
Seeing Sun Heng Fei, Lie Yan, and others’ determined attitude, Ye Chenfeng knew he could not stop them. Thus, he spoke, "Good, there’s no time to lose. Let us head for the Heaven-reaching Sea right now!"
"Brother Ye is right. It takes at least three days and nights to reach the Heaven-reaching Sea from here, and if we are late, maybe the ships will have already returned to the Earth Profound Realm," commented Lie Yan, who was at the Peak of the Primordial Heaven stage.
Sun Boyi and Sun Yang’an, among others, chose to stay in the Ancient Martial World, because they knew that even if they went to the Earth Profound Realm, they wouldn’t be of any help to Ye Chenfeng! Therefore, there were only four people who went with Ye Chenfeng to the Earth Profound Realm: Sun Heng Fei, Sun Xiaoli, Lie Yan, and Lie Yang.
Among them, Lie Yan was at the Peak of the Primordial Heaven stage, Sun Xiaoli was at the Middle Stage of Primordial Heaven, and Sun Heng Fei and Lie Yang were at the Initial Stage of Primordial Heaven. Because Ye Chenfeng did not show the aura of being at the peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Spirit Communication Realm, Lie Yan and others were still unaware of Ye Chenfeng’s real strength.
After bidding farewell to Sun Boyi and the others, Ye Chenfeng and his company set off immediately.
Three days later.
In the most westerly part of the Ancient Martial World, what was initially a wasteland had now turned into a boundless sea. This vast ocean was the Heaven-reaching Sea.
Moored on its shore lay a medium-sized vessel inscribed with the name "Sea King" – a fitting title, surely.
The Sea King measured approximately seventy to eighty meters in length and about twenty meters in width, spread across three levels. Its hull was forged from a special metal, exuding an air of grandeur and strength.
When Ye Chenfeng and Lie Yan arrived at the Heaven-reaching Sea, many strong individuals from the Ancient Martial World were already lingering nearby, leaving only the ship named Sea King on the shore. As Ye Chenfeng looked out across the Heaven-reaching Sea, he saw a ship sailing swiftly in the distance, its speed astonishing.
That ship, similar in size to the Sea King, had on its deck a young man clad in white robes, with a grim expression. The back of his hand bore a pattern of the Big Dipper. This young man was none other than Liu Wuyuan, whose opportunity had been taken by Ye Chenfeng!
Liu Wuyuan stood on the deck with a sudden furrow in his brow and turned his gaze back towards the shore of the Heaven-reaching Sea. A faint reaction had just occurred in the pattern on the back of his hand, indicating that the person who took his opportunity must be nearby.
Liu Wuyuan immediately roared into the cabin, "Great Elder, Second Elder, stop the ship immediately. The Sea King should also set sail today, right? Let’s wait here for the Sea King to catch up with us." Liu Wuyuan was almost certain that the person who had stolen his opportunity would board the Sea King as well. That person dared to snatch the great opportunity he had been looking forward to for two years; he would make sure they suffered a fate worse than death.

Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng at the coast of the Heaven-reaching Sea, due to the great distance, was unable to see the face of Liu Wuyuan on the distant ship.
When Ye Chenfeng and Lie Yan and the others had just arrived at the Heaven-reaching Sea, a man in his thirties approached them. A sly glint flashed in the man’s eyes as he enthusiastically said, "You must be Ye Chenfeng, right? I personally witnessed you dealing with Li Dongtian and Mo Wusha not long ago. The image of you has lingered in my mind!"
"Master Ye, you must also wish to travel to the Earth Profound Realm, right? I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Hu Changsan." The middle-aged man was incredibly familiar, continuing to speak, "Master Ye, there’s only this Sea King left now. The previous ships that have sailed refused to take us on board."
"It is said that the owner of the Sea King belongs to a Sect called the Qingyang Sect from the Earth Profound Realm, and only the Sea King is willing to accept people from the Ancient Martial World."
As he spoke, Hu Changsan pointed at the entrance to the Sea King, saying, "Master Ye, do you see that? There is a transparent Barrier at the entrance, and only masters with strength reaching the Sky-Breaking Peak can smoothly board the Sea King. It’s said that once we board the Sea King and arrive at the Earth Profound Realm, we may have the chance to become disciples of the Qingyang Sect."
"These words come directly from the mouth of the Qingyang Sect’s Great Elder Wu Changnan, who is presiding over the Sea King. Master Ye, perhaps you are unaware that beyond the Transcendent Realm, there are the Spirit Communication Realm, Ocean Gathering Realm, Divine Thought Realm, Creation Realm, Reincarnation Realm, and Nirvana Realm? These were all personally revealed to us by Elder Wu himself. Elder Wu Changnan’s strength seems to be at the Peak of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm; he is definitely a true master." Hu Changsan spoke with pride, his eyes occasionally flickering with cunning light.
The Qingyang Sect?
The Great Elder of Qingyang Sect, Wu Changnan? Wu Changnan, as a Great Elder, is only at the Peak of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm?
Ye Chenfeng shook his head in bewilderment; it was common knowledge that the strength of a Sect’s Great Elder would only be slightly inferior to that of the Sect Master. From this, he could surmise that the influence of the Qingyang Sect in the Earth Profound Realm was not too formidable; at best, they were but an obscure minor Sect.
The reason the Qingyang Sect’s people were willing to let those from the Ancient Martial World board the Sea King was probably that they wanted to select talented disciples from the Ancient Martial World. After all, the Ancient Martial World was originally lacking in nature’s spiritual energy, and it might hide extremely talented geniuses. If they could pick out one or two geniuses, it would be a hugely profitable deal for the Qingyang Sect.
"There are only six spots left; is there anyone else who wants to board? If not, the Sea King will set sail." A roar came from the Sea King.
Most of those hesitating around the Sea King were masters at the Initial and Middle Stages of Sky-Breaking; almost all the masters of Sky-Breaking Peak or higher had boarded the Sea King. As this urging voice sounded, those masters at the Initial and Middle Stages of Sky-Breaking desperately rushed towards the entrance of the Sea King.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!——"
As they reached the entrance, they were bounced off by a force; it seemed that one had to be at least at the Sky-Breaking Peak to board the Sea King.
Hu Changsan, looking at Ye Chenfeng, said, "Master Ye, you see, could you give me a hand?" Hu Changsan only had the strength of Middle Stage Sky-Breaking.
Ye Chenfeng had noticed the cunning look in Hu Changsan’s eyes. However, he didn’t take Hu Changsan seriously; seeing that Hu Changsan had enthusiastically explained things to him just now, Ye Chenfeng spoke indifferently, "Just follow me."
