Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 879 - 490: Arriving at Tianyuan Star_2

Ye Feng could perceive that the entire Tianyuan Star was enveloped by a massive formation, where the Void Layer was completely frozen; even a True God Strongman who excelled in teleportation couldn’t directly teleport there.

"This defense is truly terrifying!" Ye Feng sensed the huge formation and led his team straight toward Tianyuan Star.

However, before they even entered the atmosphere, a patrol squad intercepted them.

"Hello, the Tianyuan Big Formation doesn’t have your aura recorded, it must be your first time here!" The squad leader at the Tenth Order Level said with considerable politeness.

"Yes! I am here to participate in the Great Tianyuan Meeting, may I know what procedures are required?" Ye Feng directly declared his intention.

The squad leader, Zeng Xin, glanced at Ye Feng and the four people following him, Liu Ying.

He quickly made a judgment about Ye Feng and his group.

Although Ye Feng was at the Ninth Order Level, he was accompanied by three Ninth Order and one Eighth Order guards, clearly indicating that Ye Feng’s status and identity should not be low.

However, without Tenth Order Level guards, the rank couldn’t be that high; he guessed that Ye Feng must be a core scion of some minor power.

Of course, for a patrol squad leader like him, the status definitely had to be significantly higher.

After making the judgment, Zeng Xin showed a hint of enthusiasm on his face and said to Ye Feng, "Good, then please follow me, I will personally take you all for registration!"

Speaking, he personally led the way for Ye Feng and the others; if Ye Feng had no background, he probably would have just sent a subordinate to deal with it.

Although Ye Feng didn’t know exactly what the other party was thinking, by the attitude shown by the latter before and after, he could roughly guess.

Indeed, having subordinates was useful, but unfortunately, their cultivation levels were not strong enough.

Under Zeng Xin’s leadership, they flew through certain passages and smoothly passed through the atmosphere.

In Ye Feng’s perception, although he could see nothing outside this safe passage, it was fraught with danger, giving even him an unsettling feeling.

Feeling the magic, the only thought in Ye Feng’s mind was, "If only Earth could be endowed with such formations."

In that case, there would no longer be any extraterrestrial threats.

After passing through the atmosphere, the group arrived above a city.

This was a city similar to the ancient cities of Earth, with all kinds of pavilions and towers exuding an ancient charm.

Of course, there were differences too.

Here, most of the people traveled by flying shuttles or directly by flying creatures pulling carriages.

Besides, there were some extremely high buildings, even reaching tens of thousands of meters.

"This way, please! If you are here to compete, you need to register in Tianhong City," Zeng Xin led the people and landed on a Teleportation Array, saying.

While in mid-air, Ye Feng glanced around; nearly every area in the city had such a Teleportation Array, with possibly hundreds of them throughout the city.

Without a doubt, this again made Ye Feng feel impressed; what kind of transport could compare to a Teleportation Array?

The group stepped onto the Teleportation Array and in the blink of an eye, arrived in another city.

However, to be honest, Ye Feng couldn’t quite discern what was different between these two cities.

In such a situation, they didn’t need to distinguish anything; they just needed to follow the lead.

This time, not long after they exited the Teleportation Array, they arrived at a huge plaza.

That was when Ye Feng realized that this must be their destination.

Because the people on this plaza had clothing markedly different from that of the locals.

Besides, Ye Feng could also hear some speaking in the languages of different Star Domains, not the universal language of the cosmos.

"Folks, this is one of the registration points; if you’re competing, please line up here to register. Also, this is my Messaging Jade Symbol code; if you have any questions, feel free to contact me," Zeng Xin said with a smile, showing his Messaging Jade Symbol code to Ye Feng and the others.

This was somewhat similar to a telephone number; as long as one has a Messaging Jade Symbol registered here, they could use this code to find the corresponding person.

"Thank you very much. I wonder, Captain Zeng, do you have time today? I would like to treat you to a meal," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Zeng Xin’s eyes immediately lit up. It seemed that his act of guiding them had caught the favorable attention of this distinguished young man.

He nodded immediately and said, "Of course, I’ll be free after patrolling till noon. By that time, all of you should have registered as well, and you can directly contact me."

"Good, see you later." After bidding farewell to the other party, Ye Feng led his four subordinates toward one of the registration points.

A short distance later, Liu Ying couldn’t help but ask:

"Master, he’s just a common squad leader; we don’t need to waste our thoughts on him, right?"

In her view, given Ye Feng’s talent, his future was bound to soar.

"We are strangers here; it wouldn’t hurt to get some information from him. Besides, he has reached the Tenth Order Level, which is even higher than yours! Have you started to overestimate yourselves before even advancing your realms?" Ye Feng glanced at Liu Ying and said lightly.

Liu Ying immediately understood that she had misspoken and lowered her head, no longer daring to make a sound.

Soon, the group reached one of the registration points and lined up in the queue.

Since there were many registration points in the square, none of the lines were very long. After about 5 minutes, it was Ye Feng’s turn.

"Are you all here together to participate in the Tianyuan Conference?" A female staff member with a gentle appearance looked at Ye Feng and his group and asked.

"Together, yes, but only I am registering to compete," Ye Feng replied.

A flash of surprise crossed the staff member’s face, but her professionalism was high, and she quickly adjusted her expression before asking, "Alright, then may I know what your cultivation is?"

"Early Stage of the Ninth Order," Ye Feng answered.

"Early Stage of the Ninth Order?" She was genuinely surprised this time.

Looking at Ye Feng, seeing that he was serious, she continued, "Sir, I must remind you that once you participate in the conference, over 99% of your opponents will be at the Peak of the Ninth Order. Are you sure you still want to compete?"

"Yes!" Ye Feng nodded.

"Alright! Then please pay a deposit of 1,000 Spirit Stones. If you pass the preliminary selection, this deposit can be refunded; otherwise, it will be forfeited," the female staff member said.

This rule was mainly to deal with those who lacked the strength but intentionally came to cause trouble.

Even for a Ninth Order Strongman, 1,000 Spirit Stones was not a small number; many Ninth Order Strongmen would only earn that much in a month’s salary.

Ye Feng directly took out 1,000 Spirit Stones from his Storage Bracelet and placed them on the table.

Seeing this, the staff member quickly counted them, confirmed the amount was correct, and quickly began to register Ye Feng’s information.

Finally, Ye Feng received a jade token in his hand, which served as his entry token for the competition.

He also received a map, which included the rules for the preliminary selection.

Ye Feng unfolded the map and said, "The closest one is No.5 Preliminary Selection Tower. Let’s go! After we finish with the Preliminary Selection Tower today, we can consider our task completed."

"Mm-hm!" All four faces revealed expectant expressions.

Guided by the map, they walked through two blocks and arrived in front of a towering tower.

This tower had 100 floors; currently, many people were queuing up, apparently all waiting for the preliminary selection.

However, more people were gathered around a screen on the other side of the tall tower.

The left side of the screen displayed the names of those challenging the tower and the corresponding levels they had reached.

The right side showed the rankings.

Ye Feng glanced over and saw that the best performer in the No. 5 Preliminary Selection Tower since it opened had reached only the 35th floor.

However, since there was clearly more than one Preliminary Selection Tower, besides a separate leaderboard, there was also an overall leaderboard. The first person on the overall leaderboard had already advanced to the 69th floor.
