Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 543 - 538: The Secret Realm

"These golden patterns..."

Ye Feng's spiritual power carefully observed the golden patterns, and gradually, he became entranced.

A moment later, Ye Feng opened his eyes to a vast expanse of white.

Ye Feng's complexion changed drastically as he observed his surroundings. Shouldn't he have been in the stone hut? Where was this place?

With his mind full of questions, he observed carefully and realized that he seemed to have arrived in a boundless white world with nothing in it.

"Where exactly is this?"

Ye Feng was very puzzled, and just as he wondered this, the world which was originally a white expanse transformed in an instant. The next things to enter his vision were mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, as well as fish flipping over in the rivers.

Ye Feng looked at this scene with even more confusion. Where was this place?

Suddenly, a sonorous roar of a dragon resounded.

Ao!

Ye Feng's body shook, and the next moment, he saw an immense Five-clawed Golden Dragon fly past him.

"Isn't this dragon the same as the Five-clawed Golden Dragon I saw before?"

Ye Feng was incredibly shocked in his heart, but this time, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon seemed to lack the divine radiance that the one he saw for the first time in the Outer Battlefield had, or perhaps, it seemed to lack a bit of soul?

The Five-clawed Golden Dragon soared in the sky for a round and then flew in front of Ye Feng. Suddenly, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon burst out with a powerful aura, and its golden claws appeared to tear apart the sky and the earth, as it swung down a claw!

Ye Feng's pupils shrank, feeling a chill all over his body from the power of this claw!

The golden claw seemed to rip through space, rumbling thunderously, and an earth-shattering claw crushed a gigantic mountain peak into powder. The Five-clawed Golden Dragon howled towards the sky, with the dragon's roar echoing throughout the space.

Gradually, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon turned into golden specks of light and disappeared into the sky.

"This claw..."

Ye Feng indulged in it, replaying that earth-shattering claw in his mind over and over again!

In the stone hut, Ye Feng didn't know when he had sat down cross-legged; his own spiritual power was immersed in a white space, continuously pondering the claw of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Feng felt a tremendous push on his body, which startled him awake.

"What's going on!?"

Ye Feng abruptly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing across them as if they were dragon eyes, even exuding a dragon's might.

However, the golden light vanished quickly, and he might not have even noticed it himself.

Ye Feng opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings, only to see that he was now outside the city gates, with the endless Death Desert stretching behind him.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Has three days already passed so quickly?"

As Chi Jark had told him beforehand, the city in the Outer Battlefield would send people out of the city after three days, and it seemed that three days had indeed passed.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from beside him.

"Brother Ye, you're out as well!"

Chi Jark walked up to Ye Feng, greeting him.

Ye Feng looked over and responded with a smile. However, he noticed that Chi Jark seemed to be unhappy and immediately asked, "Brother Chi, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy."

Chi Jark sighed, a bit helplessly saying, "Brother Ye, you don't know. I searched for a whole day and finally found an insight left by an ancestor of the Chi Family; I was so engrossed in it, and then time was up!"

Chi Jark's face showed regret, but it was evident that he was still a bit excited. Even though time was up, he naturally remembered those insights on the stone wall.

"But, I'm used to this kind of thing, and finding a stone hut suitable for my own contemplation is already good. The cultivation of daoists mostly differs from one another; finding one from the same sect purely depends on luck. My luck is still not bad."

Chi Jark grinned, speaking the truth. With so many ancient cultivators, so many cities, and stone huts, not everyone could find a suitable stone hut and have the chance to contemplate.

While talking, Chi Jark looked at Ye Feng again and frowned, "Brother Ye, why do I feel that you are a bit different than when you first went in?"

If the first time he met Ye Feng, he felt a kingly presence from Ye Feng, but now, not only did Ye Feng have that kingly air, but there seemed to be a shining edge, and even in the dark, it was as if he saw a Golden Dragon. He even faintly felt a dragon's might emanating from Ye Feng!

Ye Feng was confused and didn't understand what Chi Jark meant, casually responding, "Is that so, Brother Chi? I don't feel any different."

Ye Feng himself didn't feel much different, but suddenly remembered the shocking claw in his mind. Could it be related to this?

Seeing Ye Feng's reaction, Chi Jark opened his mouth but didn't persist with the matter. Instead, he asked curiously, "Then it's all right. Brother Ye, how has your harvest been these past two days? I've heard that your talent is extremely high, so you must have gained quite a few insights from those stone houses, right?"

When asked this question, Ye Feng's expression stiffened slightly. How should he respond, by saying that he looked down on them?

That the cultivation techniques he practiced were stronger than those of ancient cultivators, and their insights were of no use to him?

Ye Feng felt that if he were to say that, Chi Jark would definitely think he was showing off.

"I wasn't very lucky. I didn't gain much, with no insights appropriate for me."

Ye Feng intentionally showed a hint of dejection, indicating that he hadn't gained much.

Indeed, Ye Feng didn't gain much in the stone houses, but on the dragon egg inside his space ring, he had gained an enormous harvest!

Seeing Ye Feng say this, Chi Jark even patted his shoulder, consoling him, "It's okay, Brother Ye. I believe as a proud son of heaven like you, you probably don't need the insights from those stone houses."

Ye Feng felt a mix of amusement and frustration at these words, but his favor towards Chi Jark rose considerably. Chi Jark might hail from one of the Four Great Ancient Clans, but he didn't seem to carry any arrogance, and was quite pleasant to be around.

"What are Brother Ye's plans next?"

Chi Jark suddenly asked.

Ye Feng thought for a moment and replied offhandedly, "I don't have any specific plans. Brother Chi should have noticed that I am new to the Outer Battlefield, and I'm not particularly familiar with the various situations here, so I'll need to rely a lot on Brother Chi."

Ye Feng wasn't lying; his knowledge of the Outer Battlefield was indeed too limited. If not for meeting Chi Jark, he probably wouldn't know anything about what goes on inside the city.

Chi Jark realized with a click of his tongue, "I would've never imagined that the Northern Border King would know so little about the Outer Battlefield, interesting, interesting."

"Actually, Brother Ye, a secret realm is about to open in a few days, and all the Great Powers will select candidates to enter."

"A secret realm?"

Ye Feng's eyes flashed with interest. He was familiar with secret realms. According to legends handed down from ancient times, they were small worlds opened within the Outer Battlefield by ancient cultivators of the Golden Core Realm or even higher realms, using all their power before dying. Inside, there were various ancient cultivation techniques, pill medicines, and spiritual treasures of ancient cultivators.

It was said that there was once a Martial King-level powerhouse who entered a secret realm, and within just a few days, emerged with a foundation established and a golden core condensed, becoming a true ancient cultivator, and a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm at that!

One must know, for a Martial King-level powerhouse to become an ancient cultivator, apart from having incredible adventures like Ye Feng did, they would need to dissipate all their martial artist's power like Yu Feiyu did, and then switch to an ancient cultivator's cultivation technique to build a foundation and embark upon the Golden Core Great Dao.

Yu Feiyu had only been able to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm and approach the strength of a Half-Step Golden Core so quickly because of Elder Huang Niu's assistance. For ordinary people to spend several months or even longer would be normal.

This clearly showed that these secret realms were filled with various opportunities, and countless people wanted to compete for the chance to enter.

Chi Jark continued, "Yes, it's the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. The Heavenly Origin Secret Realm is not like ordinary secret realms. It is said that the Spirit Essence inside is extremely dense, and the small world even contains a large amount of spirit stones—all of the spirit stones in the Outer Battlefield mostly come from the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm."

"Not only that, but it is also said that there are ten Spirit Essence Pools within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. Rumor has it that if one can soak in them, those in the Half-Step Golden Core Realm could leap directly into the Golden Core Realm!"

"However, the requirements for entering the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm are extremely strict. Only those below the Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm can enter, and the bone age must be under fifty years old!"

After understanding this, Ye Feng immediately realized that those who could enter such a secret realm were likely the young geniuses of the Great Powers, and everyone would definitely try their best to send their Heaven's Proud Sons into it.

Ye Feng, thinking this, immediately asked, "Then how are the spots allocated?"

For a secret realm like this, there were definitely limits on the number of participants, and he wondered how the Great Powers allocated the spots.

Chi Jark didn't conceal anything and said directly, "There are quite a number of spots available. Each of the Four Great Powers can allocate twenty-five spots, and it's up to each Power to decide on the candidates."

"At our Xuanyuan Hall, for the sake of fairness, the selection is based on strength. The selection will take place three days from now at Xuanyuan Hall!"

Ye Feng's expression turned somewhat peculiar, not expecting that the selection would take place at Xuanyuan Hall.

However, this was quite normal; Xuanyuan Hall, being Xuanyuan Nation's base camp in the Outer Battlefield, was the logical place for holding the selection.

After Chi Jark shared so much information, Ye Feng suddenly thought of another question, "By the way, Brother Chi, how do you know all this?"

"There should be no use for cell phones in the Outer Battlefield, right? So, how does everyone communicate?"

Ye Feng had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Upon entering the Outer Battlefield, he found that there were no signals, so how would everyone communicate if they needed to stay in contact?

Chi Jark looked somewhat astonished, "Brother Ye, do you not have a Sound Transmission Jade Tablet?"

"Sound Transmission Jade Tablet? What's that?"

Ye Feng was completely taken aback, as he had never heard of a Sound Transmission Jade Tablet.

Chi Jark was somewhat speechless, finding it hard to believe that the Northern Border King knew so little about the Outer Battlefield. He was convinced that Ye Feng had never been to Xuanyuan Hall, or maybe he had just gotten to the entrance and then left, because this information could clearly be obtained at Xuanyuan Hall.
