Chapter 1300: Chapter 1300: Ancient Picture
At the seat.
Ye Feng took a sip of tea and smiled, "Iām in no rush. I can wait for your Clan Leader to come out of seclusion."
"Thank you for your understanding, senior. Iāll send a message to the Clan Leader immediately. I hope he receives it. In the meantime, please continue enjoying your tea here. If youāre interested, you may also stroll around Sky Piercing City."
After finishing his words, Li Chijiao exhaled a sigh of relief.
"Alright, no problem." Ye Feng nodded slightly.
"Senior, I take my leave now!"
Li Chijiao cupped his hands and left the grand hall.
From then on, the guest hall was left with only Ye Feng and Zhang Tianyuan, both drinking their tea quietly.
"Sect Master, you are truly extraordinary. You can casually resolve even an Immortal Venerableās hidden ailment."
Zhang Tianyuanās face was full of admiration.
"Itās nothing."
Ye Feng smiled faintly.
Originally, he didnāt want Zhang Tianyuan to know about the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability, but since the latter had followed him this far, it signified fate, so he decided not to conceal it further.
Within the grand hall.
The two drank tea and chatted idly.
...
Beneath Sky Piercing City.
Li Chijiao gathered several other Immortal Venerables from the clan and descended together, eventually arriving before a tightly shut white jade stone door.
"It seems the Clan Leader is still in seclusion."
Li Chijiao looked at the firmly closed door, furrowed his brows, and couldnāt help but sigh softly.
"City Lord, what should we do now?"
An elderly man at the early stage of Immortal Venerable couldnāt help but ask, glancing upward, "Misty Sectās Sect Master Ye Feng is waiting. We canāt just leave him hanging, can we?"
Li Chijiao fell into deep thought.
In his opinion, Ye Feng was practically an Immortal Emperor.
Making an Immortal Emperor wait for days was evidently impolite and ran the risk of inciting their wrath.
"Iāll attempt to communicate with the Clan Leader."
Li Chijiao took out a Spiritual Pearl, placing it into a groove in the white jade stone door, and spoke a few words inwardly. Then, he quietly waited.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The Spiritual Pearl remained unresponsive.
"The Clan Leader is in deep seclusion and wonāt respond for the time being. Letās go explain the situation to Ye Feng and hope for his understanding!"
Li Chijiao put away the transmission Spiritual Pearl.
His heart was filled with helplessness.
...
Guest Hall.
"Sect Master Ye, our Clan Leader is in deep seclusion and hasnāt responded to our transmission. We are unable to provide you with a definite answer in the short term. Please forgive us."
Li Chijiao cupped his hands apologetically.
His face was filled with embarrassment.
"Itās alright. I have plenty of free time recently and can wait... How about this? Iāll walk around Sky Piercing City with the Sect disciples. Just notify me when thereās news."
Ye Feng stood up.
"Alright."
Li Chijiao sighed in relief.
...
Sky Piercing City.
This city was vast, its architectural layout intricately arranged to form many winding and ancient streets.
One such ancient alley.
Ye Feng and Zhang Tianyuan were strolling along.
"Sect Master, why are we here?"
Zhang Tianyuan asked, as curious as always.
"This ancient alley is built from materials brought over from the Ancient Immortal Domain. It has over a million years of history and might hold some exceedingly ancient secrets."
Ye Feng explained.
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Tianyuan nodded, surveying the surroundings, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
In front of an ancient well.
Ye Feng stopped, peering into the well, which was over a hundred meters deep. The water inside was sparse, less than five meters, making it difficult to draw water, leaving the well abandoned.
Swoosh!
Ye Feng took a step forward and leapt into the well.
"Oh no!"
"Someone has jumped into the well to end their life!"
Some passersby who witnessed Ye Fengās leap exclaimed in shock.
"Everyone, donāt panic! My Sect Master isnāt committing suicide but is going down to retrieve something."
Zhang Tianyuan quickly explained.
Despite hearing this, the crowd still looked skeptical.
At the bottom of the well.
Ye Feng picked up a bluish stone brick, its surface covered in moss. Washing the moss clean, he revealed the brickās surface, which was etched with numerous ancient and intricate array patterns.
He began to deduce.
In the next moment.
Ye Feng felt his consciousness being drawn into the stone brick, as if he had returned to countless years ago, experiencing some events firsthand.
It was a primitive and ancient era.
The people wore old animal hide clothes, while some were dressed in linen-weave tunics. Their faces, arms, and chests bore painted flame totems.
This was a maternal-centric tribe.
Ruling the entire tribe was a middle-aged woman whose body was adorned with flame totems. Her wheat-toned skin and streamlined figure exuded heroism; she was a true formidable woman.
She was the High Priest!
On the Five-Colored Altar.
Clad in a linen skirt, the High Priestess raised a jade-carved scepter, shouting to the skies in an ancient language Ye Feng couldnāt understand.
Near the altar.
Countless ancient people knelt on the ground, gazing at the heavens, chanting strange syllables in a solemn ritual, as if offering their prayers to a Divine Spirit.
Half a day later.
Heavy rain began to fall.
Everywhere revived, the famine vanished.
The tribeās survival was ensured, allowing it to flourish and eventually establish itself as a hegemon-level power in this ancient world.
During one such ritual.
The female High Priestess stood on the Five-Colored Altar, wielding the scepter, and shouted toward the sky:
"By the will of the Divine Spirit, I shall establish an Eternal Immortal Country!"
From that day onward.
A nation named "Eternal" was founded, and the High Priestess became the first and eternal Empress, uniting the nearby territories.
From then on, the Eternal Immortal Country continuously grew.
A century later.
The Empress aged and declined, beginning the selection of her successor to carry on her legacy for generations.
However, ironically, the Eternal Immortal Country struggled to remain eternal, lasting less than ten generations, surviving merely a millennium before being conquered by a powerful Immortal King, becoming history.
The wheel of history rolled forward.
Subsequent eras continually evolved. Individuals mastered increasingly potent immortal arts, eventually heralding the worldās first Immortal.
Thus began an age belonging to immortals.
From then on, more powerful beings emerged.
This ancient and primal world gradually transformed into the later Ancient Immortal Domain.
Ten thousand years later, some immortals shattered the void and vanished.
At this point, the vision ended.
Ye Feng looked at the stone brick in his hand, discovering its energy was depleted, causing it to completely crumble into a pile of stone powder.
"So this is the origin of the Ancient Immortal Domain."
"I wonder if the maternal tribe depicted at the beginning of the vision was the Ancient Immortal Domainās first inhabitants or a civilization from its mid-development stage."
Ye Feng scattered the stone powder in his hand.
With a shimmer, he disappeared from the bottom of the well and returned to the surface.
"Sect Master, youāve finally come back."
Zhang Tianyuan exhaled in relief upon seeing Ye Feng, preparing to say something.
"Ah!"
"What is this place?"
Two voices filled with surprise rang out.
Ye Feng and Zhang Tianyuan followed the sound and saw Wang Pingāan and Shi Lei nearby.
"Youāre here too?"
Ye Feng looked at the two of them, realizing they had arrived with power incarnations, but their experiences were as vivid as if their true bodies had descended.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Wang Pingāan and Shi Lei saluted in unison, then began curiously examining their surroundings.
"This isnāt the Myriad Clans Continent."
"So, where is this?"
Both looked puzzled.
"This is Sky Piercing City, connected to the Ancient Immortal Domain, with a long history and significant research value." Ye Feng explained.
Hearing this, the two scratched their heads.
Evidently, they had no knowledge of Sky Piercing City or the Ancient Immortal Domain, their interest drawn solely to the words "research value."
"Huh!"
Ye Feng felt something and waved toward the base of the well, retrieving another ancient stone brick.
He then squeezed it forcefully.
Crack!
The stone brick shattered instantly, transforming into dense smoke that was swept by the wind into the sky and materialized into an even older vision.
War!
Overwhelming war!
Within the vision, countless beings engaged in a massive battle, obliterating countless ancient civilization stars, plunging the Universe Starry Sky into a state of demise, with countless laws falling apart.
Even the universe nearly lost its equilibrium and collapsed.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Fengās pupils contracted.
