Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Elder Bai's gaze remained reverent as he stared straight at Ye Feng and said, "My Emperor, this servant has not mistaken."

"The Art of the Three Thousand Acupoints you cultivate is that of the Emperor, making you the heir of the Emperor, you are Our Emperor!"

Elder Bai was still visibly overcome with excitement.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, realizing it was his cultivation of the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints being referenced; he also knew that this cultivation technique was created by an Emperor over two thousand years ago.

"Emperor's Armor, Sky-breaking Divine Spear, Emperor's Sword... these are all Our Emperor's equipment, you are Our Emperor!"

As Elder Bai looked at the equipment on Ye Feng's person, his excitement intensified, his face flushing red, although not truly in physical form, it was clear from his Spirit Essence Body that his complexion had changed.

With that, Elder Bai once again knelt down on the ground, filled with awe.

"This servant, the Heavenly Origin Divine Lord, pays respects to Our Emperor!"

Elder Bai said in a clear voice.

Ye Feng was shocked; it was astonishing that a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm would kneel before him, a sight so astonishing it bordered on madness.

The Heavenly Origin Divine Lord?

Why did he refer to himself as a Divine Lord, and one named after the Heavenly Origin no less?

Ye Feng hurriedly said, "Elder Bai, please rise, you may call me Ye Feng."

A Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm calling him 'My Emperor,' even if just a Spirit Essence Body, felt extraordinarily strange to Ye Feng.

"By your command, My Emperor!"

Elder Bai slowly got to his feet, but seemed to have automatically ignored the latter part of Ye Feng's statement, still addressing Ye Feng as 'My Emperor.'

Ye Feng was a bit helpless, knowing it would definitely take more than a moment to change Elder Bai's way of addressing him, and so he let it be.

"Elder Bai, is this Heavenly Origin Secret Realm your creation?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, as the Secret Realm was named the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and then there was Elder Bai, who called himself the Heavenly Origin Divine Lord, these two were probably intrinsically linked.

"My Emperor, please give this servant a moment,"

Elder Bai said with a smile, slightly bowing, and then with a sweep of his hand, the scenery around them began to distort at that moment, soon after changing into something else.

Ye Feng was slightly startled to see the scenery around him changing little by little, and after a moment, he found himself no longer in the grassland from before but inside a resplendently golden palace.

Ye Feng looked around the palace and saw that the interior was immensely luxurious, with various precious porcelain and other objects, all looking extremely valuable, and behind him was a dragon throne, magnificently grandiose, this was just like the legendary imperial palace.

His residence back on Earth in Xuanyuan Nation's Northern Cloud Residence was far inferior to this place.

"So there's such a palace within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and these items..."

Ye Feng said with a touch of shock, he had never expected such a luxurious palace to exist within a secret realm.

Elder Bai spoke with a smile, "My Emperor need not be surprised; these are but mundane items of no value to the likes of us."

"This traveling palace was the one owned by the Emperor two thousand years ago, brought into this secret realm by this servant, solely to await the return of Our Emperor."

Ye Feng was shaken by these words; this place was the traveling palace of the Emperor from over two thousand years ago?

Looking at the splendid and imposing dragon throne behind him, along with the extremely luxurious decorations and items within the palace, Ye Feng couldn't help but be amazed; indeed, that Emperor was one of luxury.

However, as Elder Bai had said, these items held little interest for them now; these antique pieces could perhaps exchange for a lot of gold for ordinary people, and amass incalculable fortunes, but money was no longer of any importance to them.

For cultivators, the gold and silver of the Mortal World were utterly worthless to them.

"The Heavenly Origin Secret Realm has been opened many times before; why have I never heard anyone mention the existence of this traveling palace?"

Ye Feng furrowed his brows. To his knowledge, the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm had been opened no less than ten times before, yet he had never heard anyone speak of discovering any palace.

What's going on here?

The palace certainly didn't look small, and it should have been impossible not to see it from the outside. Even just passing by and catching a glimpse of the palace, it was very likely that someone would remember it and then some information about it would spread to the outside world. But there wasn't any; not a single bit. I've never heard of the existence of any palace within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

Elder Bai took the initiative to explain, "Your Majesty, this is an Obscuring Technique I've deployed. Although I'm only left with a remnant soul, I'm still the master of this Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and casting some Obscuring Techniques is not a problem."

"Moreover, I've set the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm to only allow those below the Golden Core Realm to enter. A group of little kids who haven't even reached the Golden Core Realm naturally can't see through my Obscuring Technique, not even those who are in the Golden Core Realm."

Elder Bai spoke with great confidence.

At this point, Ye Feng coughed lightly; wasn't he the one being referred to here?

He, too, was just a little kid who had yet to reach the Golden Core Realm!

However, he was still shocked in his heart. So the Elder Bai before him was actually just a remnant soul left behind from two thousand years ago. Just a remnant soul and yet it held the might of a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm. Just how strong was Elder Bai, also known as the Heavenly Origin Divine Lord, at his peak two thousand years ago?

Elder Bai saw through Ye Feng's thoughts and once again addressed him respectfully, "Your Majesty, I meant no offense. The Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints that you cultivate should have already reached over two thousand five hundred acupoints. Your current strength is nearly invincible in the Golden Core Realm!"

"Once your Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints reaches Great Perfection, you could even slay experts of the Yin-Yang Realm!"

"Furthermore, my realm might seem to have the might of the Yin-Yang Realm, but in reality, it's just an aura."

"This remnant soul of mine has become the Spirit of the Secret Realm and has no attacking power. I can only control everything within this Secret Realm. If it wasn't for your arrival, perhaps I would still be asleep."

After hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly realized that it was his Art of Acupoints that awakened Elder Bai's sleeping remnant soul, which led to the scene he encountered in the grassland before. Now, Elder Bai was merely a shell, seemingly powerful but without any attacking ability.

"Then Elder Bai, where are the Spirit Stones located within this Heavenly Origin Secret Realm? And that Spirit Essence Pool..."

Ye Feng was indeed curious. After he entered, he was on a plain and saw no trace of Spirit Stones; he could only sense the rich Spirit Essence in the air.

Elder Bai smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, the Spirit Stones are actually underground. It's simple to obtain them, just dig up the ground and mine for Spirit Stone veins. However, there's a limit to the quantity each person can mine, with a maximum of five hundred stones per person. Mining Spirit Stones takes time too. Normally, an expert of the Half-Step Golden Core Realm would need a full three days to mine five hundred stones."

"Even a genius with the strength of the Golden Core Realm would need two days. The remaining cultivators who enter usually choose to cultivate, as the Spirit Essence in the air of my Secret Realm is incredibly dense. Your Majesty must be very aware of this."

Ye Feng nodded; so obtaining Spirit Stones was this simple. He thought he might have to complete some task or meet certain requirements to get them, but it turned out that all he needed was to dig. However, spending most of one's time in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm just to dig up five hundred Spirit Stones was not something he would do.

In such a uniquely favorable environment, every additional day of cultivation was valuable. Spirit Stones could be obtained elsewhere, and absorbing the Spirit Essence from the stones would take time, but the opportunity to cultivate in an environment where even the air could condense into Spirit Essence Liquid was rare.

"What about the Spirit Essence Pool?"

Ye Feng asked again.

Elder Bai did not conceal anything and spoke directly, "The so-called Spirit Essence Pool actually contains more refined Power of Spirit Essence. Upon entering, the Power of Spirit Essence from the pool will autonomously infuse into the body of the entrant. Almost every Half-Step Golden Core Realm expert who enters will break through to the Golden Core Realm there, and the power of the pool is sufficient to lay a foundation for the newly promoted experts of the Golden Core Realm, solidifying their realm."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, "Won't such an infusion of Spirit Essence Power cause their realm to become unstable after a breakthrough?"

This was akin to being infused with enlightenment, where a large influx of Spirit Essence Power would lead to a breakthrough. Typically, such advancement would result in an unstable realm, with the risk of Deviation.

Elder Bai shook his head and said with a light smile, "I have set up a Formation in the Spirit Essence Pool that helps those who advance to solidify their realm. It is not a forceful enhancement, and it's no different from solid cultivation. The basis will even be more stable, and the resultant Golden Core Realm will be stronger."

Ye Feng was shocked; the Spirit Essence Pool was incredibly miraculous. That meant anyone entering the pool would emerge as a true Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, not just a newly promoted one.

Like Elder Cangming of the Underworld Sect and Elder Hua Yue of the Flora Sect that he encountered before, they were newly promoted Great Powers of the Golden Core Realm. Such newly promoted powers typically had an unstable strength and a realm that wasn't solidified, essentially at the bottom of the Golden Core Realm, requiring several years to consolidate their realm and strength.

But those who came out of the Spirit Essence Pool would skip that phase, saving years of time needed for solidifying their realm!

"What are the conditions for entering the Spirit Essence Pool?"

Ye Feng asked again, for such a heaven-defying pool, the entry conditions were likely to be tricky.

But what Ye Feng hadn't expected was that the entry condition was very simple and blunt. Elder Bai said, "In front of the Spirit Essence Pool, there will be a Stele to test one's strength. Before the fourth day of entering the Secret Realm, everyone simply needs to display their strongest attack on the Stele, which will then rank the attackers based on their power. At the end of the third day, the top ten ranked individuals will automatically be transported into the Spirit Essence Pool."

After hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a bit stunned. Wasn't this method of determining eligibility a bit too straightforward?

As long as you ranked high enough with your attacking power, you were in!?
