158: Illusory Sea Realm, paying respects to the Imperial Prince

"I will go call Qingqing, Dragon Baby, and the others..."

Hui Lan replied without the slightest hesitation.

Then, she turned into a streak of flowing light and went to call Qingqing, Zhu Yan, Dragon Baby, and the others.

Before long.

The group gathered again.

Qingqing was the happiest, her face beaming with smiles.

She walked much faster now.

After so many years in the Qin Family, the time spent following Young Master was the most comfortable.

Worry-free, her strength constantly increasing, and blessed with Luck.

After resting for a while, they could go out and wander again.

It was absolutely delightful.

Now, Hui Lan had become a Fourth-Rank Fortune Child.

Qingqing was a Third-Rank Fortune Child.

Among the group, only Dragon Baby was not blessed with Luck.

"Master, where are we going to play this time...!"

As soon as Dragon Baby arrived, she jumped onto Qin Feng, asking like a little pendant.

"Heh...!"

"We are going to Qingwei Land."

Qin Feng smiled and replied.

Dragon Baby had already grown up and reached adulthood.

Qin Feng was still a bit unaccustomed to having her hang onto him like that.

"Yay! Qingwei Land."

"Master, you won't leave me behind this time, right!"

Dragon Baby was terrified of being left behind, so she hugged him tightly with both hands.

"Eh!"

"Master, are your injuries not healed yet?"

Dragon Baby felt something poking her, so she nudged it again and asked.

"Uh...!"

"Qingqing, let's set off!"

Qin Feng did not answer, but instead looked at Qingqing and said.

"Understood, Young Master...!"

Qingqing nodded.

Then, she transformed into a streak of azure light and soared into the sky.

"Gugu~!"

Habitually, Qingqing let out a loud cry.

Signaling that they were about to depart.

"Whoosh...!"

Qin Feng flashed and appeared directly on her back.

Even Dragon Baby was brought up with him.

"So... so fast!"

Hui Lan was greatly startled.

This speed was even slightly faster than hers.

Qin Feng was covered by Imperial Qi, so Hui Lan couldn't detect that her Young Master had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Sage Realm.

However, based on this display of speed, she roughly guessed the truth.

Young Master had broken through.

"It's only been this long, and he's already in the Sage Realm?"

"No wonder... Young Master wants to compete for the Heavenly Pride Ranking."

"With this strength, he can indeed go and clash with the Prodigies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Hui Lan muttered in her heart.

Immediately, she also flashed and brought Zhu Yan onto the back of the Divine Beast Qingluan.

"Young Master, we're setting off now"

Qingqing reminded him.

"Mhm!"

Qin Feng nodded, allowing her to take flight.

"Whoosh...!"

The Divine Beast Qingluan, with Quasi-Emperor cultivation level, instantly arrived at the location of the myriad Formations.

"Whoosh...!"

Qin Feng took out his mother's imperial decree, threw it towards the Formation, and opened a gap.

Then, he slipped out, bringing along two Vicious Beasts and two Maids.

Having arrived outside!

Qingqing no longer held back, sprinting at full speed and drawing an azure streak across the sky.

Having returned home this time, her cultivation level had improved significantly.

Her speed had also increased greatly... Qingwei Land! Wanfo Sect.

Countless bald monks sat cross-legged within the magnificent great hall.

They held prayer beads, their expressions peaceful and serene.

Each one was solemn and dignified, meticulous in their posture.

In the very center of the great hall was an elderly bald monk with an aged face.

His face still bore traces of wrinkles.

Yet, his power had reached the Great Emperor Realm, making him incredibly terrifying.

"Amitabha!"

"Everyone, the Heavenly Pride Ranking competition will begin in just one year."

"Our Wanfo Sect will be represented by Feng Wuya."

"Does anyone have any objections?"

The aged Great Buddha opened his mouth, and his ethereal voice echoed throughout every corner of the great hall.

"No objections."

"If Feng Wuya participates, he is certain to take the top spot."

"With three Imperial Weapons and one Ancient Great Law, our Wanfo Sect is destined for great prosperity."

A bald monk chanted a Buddhist title and replied.

"Amitabha!"

The assembled bald monks chanted Buddhist titles, expressing their agreement.

Feng Wuya!

He is the Buddhist Saint, whose original form is the Nine-Colored Deer.

His power is extraordinary, and his future is promising.

Since he was competing, the decision was definitely passed unanimously, with no Buddha contradicting it.

"Good, since that is the case, we should depart now."

"Xuan Ming, Xuan Xu, you two must guard the Sect well."

The Great Buddha with the aged face slowly stood up and spoke.

Standing beside him was a young man.

The young man was also bald, with nine streaks of colored light constantly flickering on his head.

A red Kasaya robe was draped over his body.

This Kasaya robe was no ordinary object; it was a Supreme Divine Weapon.

It was a protective Divine Weapon.

It shared similarities in function with Qin Feng's Silkworm Treasure Garment.

"Yes, Buddha Ancestor."

The two bald monks quickly clasped their fists in response.

"Wuya, let's go!"

The Buddha Ancestor of the Wanfo Sect looked at the young man beside him and said.

"Alright!"

Feng Wuya only uttered a single word.

"Whoosh...!"

Led by the Great Emperor Realm powerhouse, the Buddha Ancestor, he flashed and stepped out of the Wanfo Sect... At the same time.

The Tangshi Family.

Tang Yan, the head of the Family, brought his son, Tang Tian.

They headed towards the location of the Heavenly Pride Ranking competition.

Naturally, Baili Muchan of the Tian Sha Hall was also taking action.

As soon as the Heavenly Pride Ranking was announced.

All the major forces in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths began to move.

Even Great Emperor Realm powerhouses couldn't sit still.

Besides the Tian Sha Hall, the Wanfo Sect, and the Tangshi Family, other forces were also setting off.

Countless World Sects and Noble Families were involved.

And some top-tier forces had also joined in... Qingwei Land, Huanhai Realm!

Beneath the vast ocean, golden palaces stretched out in a continuous expanse.

Many natural Immortal Caves could be seen everywhere.

In the very center of the ocean, countless starlight shone brilliantly, and Formations flowed.

Even Great Emperor Realm powerhouses dared not act wildly in the Huanhai Realm.

Because this was the territory of Swallowing Heaven Empress Xiao Xiner.

Although she did not reside in the center of Qingwei Land, she was a genuine overlord.

Forces like the Wanfo Sect and the Tangshi Family had to submit treasures to her every thousand years.

If they didn't submit them, Xiao Xiner would come knocking and beat them all up.

Some people tried to resist.

But Xiao Xiner had too many Imperial Weapons; they couldn't possibly win.

Those who resisted were beaten to death.

Over time, Xiao Xiner's Huanhai Realm became a forbidden zone in Qingwei Land.

Even Great Emperors who came here had to shake their heads.

It is estimated that throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only Emperor Qin Tian dared to cross the Huanhai Realm.

Even the First Empress, Guanghan Empress, could not cross it.

Because Xiao Xiner used numerous Imperial Weapons to set up Slaughter Formations, Trapping Formations, Illusion Formations, Gravity Formations, Grand Heavenly Stellar Formations... various terrifying Formations that were too numerous to count!

"Whoosh whoosh...!"

Suddenly, a streak of azure light arrived at the periphery of the Huanhai Realm.

"Young Master, we have reached the territory of the Swallowing Heaven Empress."

"We cannot proceed further."

Qingqing stopped, looked ahead, and said.

In front of her, a patch of dense fog obscured their view.

Below on the sea surface, the waves were turbulent, and foam blossomed.

Countless runes and Divine Light shot straight up from the sea toward the firmament.

"No matter, wait a moment, someone should come out."

Qin Feng said calmly, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Whoosh whoosh...!"

"Who dares trespass into the Huanhai Realm?"

No sooner said than done, two young maidens rose up from the surging sea and asked loudly.

"Eh...!"

"This young man looks like the portrait that our Swallowing Heaven Great Emperor gave me."

The maiden on the left saw Qin Feng and murmured softly.

"What do you mean, 'looks like'!"

"It's literally the same person, okay?"

The maiden on the right glared at the maiden on the left and said.

Immediately, the two knelt down toward Qin Feng and shouted loudly:

"Greetings to the Imperial Son!"
