Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 570 - 565: Crowdfunding Spirit Stones

All eyes lit up, as everyone immediately looked forward.

Indeed, right after Seventh Hall Master Zhao Xuanzhen had spoken, a Gate of Whirlpool had been opened.

Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes flickered continuously, it was the first time in hundreds of years that he had heard of the Gate of Whirlpool reopening after the five-day-opening of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm!

It was completely unprecedented!

When the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm was first discovered, the first group of people who entered brought out four Tokens, which were then controlled by the Four Great Powers. According to the Spirit of the Secret Realm inside, it could only be opened once every fifty years, and at other times, even if the four Tokens were gathered, they never managed to reopen the Gate of Whirlpool of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

But this time was an exception.

On the fifth day when the Gate of Whirlpool opened and sent everyone out,

Ye Feng was the only one who didn't come out!

At this moment, after the Gate of Whirlpool opened, a figure walked out from the whirlpool.

It was Ye Feng!

Smiles appeared on Zhao Xuanzhen's face, sure enough it was that youngster Ye Feng, who had actually stayed an extra day in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong also wore smiles.

"I said, with good fortune like Brother Ye's, he was bound to be alright," Chi Jark said with a wide grin.

Xiao Rulong, who was shaking his folding fan, chuckled, "And who was it that said half an hour ago that Brother Ye was more likely to be unlucky than not?"

"Who said I was more likely to be unlucky?"

Ye Feng, who had emerged from the Gate of Whirlpool, immediately looked towards Chi Jark with a playful smile on his lips.

Chi Jark stiffened, glaring at Xiao Rulong beside him, "Xiao Chubby, nice mouth you've got there, isn't it?"

Half an hour earlier, he indeed had been somewhat impatient, thinking that Ye Feng really might not come out of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. He speculated as much, only to have Ye Feng emerge half an hour later, and Xiao Rulong called him out on it right away, leaving him rather speechless.

Xiao Rulong just laughed and didn't say anything, but looked at Ye Feng with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Ye Feng seemed different.

After Ye Feng stepped out of the Gate of Whirlpool, the Gate behind him disappeared immediately.

Ye Feng, looking at Zhao Xuanzhen and others including Chi Jark and Xiao Chuanqi, smiled, surprised that so many people were waiting for him outside.

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian and the other four rushed over immediately, coming up to Ye Feng excitedly.

"My lord!"

All knelt on one knee in unison, their eyes full of excitement.

"I knew my lord wouldn't run into trouble so easily. Indeed, everyone else had five days, but my lord was able to stay six days in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. Truly worthy of my lord!" Xiao Chuanqi said with a hehe smile.

"Get up, stop flattering," Ye Feng scolded with a smile, but he felt quite touched in his heart; Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian must have been quite anxious waiting for him.

Shadow was also watching Ye Feng, her eyes had been full of worry, but now that Ye Feng had appeared, she finally felt relieved.

"Shadow has reached the Golden Core Realm?"

Ye Feng was also shocked, sensing that Shadow exuded the aura of the Golden Core Realm. Indeed, Shadow had become a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm!

Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, Leng Wuming, and Gai Jiuyou hadn't reached the Golden Core Realm; they were still at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm, a bit short of the actual Golden Core Realm.

He hadn't expected that Shadow, who was never particularly noticeable, had actually reached the Golden Core Realm before the other four. He had seen the rankings on the Heaven Guard Monument; the top ten had no mention of Shadow. This meant that Shadow had become a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm entirely through her own cultivation in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm!

"To my lord, indeed I am in the Golden Core Realm now, though my realm is not yet very stable," Shadow admitted, releasing her aura, which was indeed unstable, characteristic of a fresh breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, but nonetheless impressive. Considering that among the twenty-five individuals who entered, many older than Shadow hadn't reached the Golden Core Realm.

"You guys, always slacking off, got overtaken by Shadow, aren't you embarrassed?" Ye Feng chided Xiao Chuanqi and the rest.

He had originally thought that Xiao Chuanqi or Sima Zhantian would be the first to enter the Golden Core Realm since one had fused with an Immortal Sword and the other with an Immortal Blade, thus having better cultivation conditions. Yet in the end, both were a hair short of a breakthrough, while Shadow had been the one to advance first.

Leng Wuming's failure to break through was within expectations since he had only just been revived by Ye Feng and trailed in strength, but it was apparent he wasn't far behind. He was likely to have broken through if he could have cultivated in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm for another three or four days.

Gai Jiuyou was in a similar situation, having had his strength diminished after recovering from a deviation, his cultivation and realm now closely matched Leng Wuming's.

As for Cao Tian, considering his initial lower starting point, his cultivation in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm only allowed him to step from the Peak Martial King directly into the Foundation Establishment Realm. With the Cultivation Method provided by Ye Feng, he naturally followed the path of An Ancient Cultivator rather than stepping onto the Divine Path Realm.

After being scolded by Ye Feng, the four grown men hung their heads, looking somewhat ashamed.

Ye Feng didn't say much else, just smiled. It didn't matter that the four hadn't advanced; he'd just send them back into the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm for more cultivation.

Let's not forget, he now possessed a Token capable of transporting people into the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm; the realm had become his very own backyard.

But the matter of the Token was not something he could disclose just yet.

"Hall Master, I am sorry to have caused you all so much worry,"

Ye Feng bowed slightly, expressing his apology.

Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled, "It's fine, as long as you have returned unharmed, that's what matters."

Ye Feng was indeed a true talent and counted as one of their Utility Pavilion's own, so naturally, he did not wish to see Ye Feng come to any harm.

"Brother Ye, hurry and tell us, after you entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, where did you go? How come you were nowhere to be seen in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm for a full five days, and we couldn't contact you either?"

"Didn't you go somewhere to hog all the goodies?"

Chi Jark came up and teasingly joked with a laugh.

Everyone turned to look at Ye Feng when they heard this, their curiosity evident as they watched him.

They too wanted to know where Ye Feng had been for those five days, as his presence seemed absent from the entire Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

Especially Xiao Chuanqi and the others—they had actually split up and gone looking for Ye Feng when there was no response, but still came up empty-handed.

Zhao Xuanzhen and Chi Jark as well as Xiao Rulong were more interested in another point—how Ye Feng managed to stay in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm until the sixth day,

This was unprecedented in the several hundred years that the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm had been opened: no one had ever stayed more than six days.

Surrounded by everyone's gazes, Ye Feng had already thought carefully about his wording.

"I myself don't know where I ended up. As soon as I entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, I found myself in a dark space, where there was nothing but endless darkness, and no sign of other people,"

Ye Feng feigned reminiscence, even showing a helpless look on his face.

Everyone was stunned, with Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong exchanging glances. A dark space—what was that?

Zhao Xuanzhen raised his eyebrows too, having never heard of any so-called dark space in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm; not even in historical records was there any mention of it.

"Master, did you not see the Spirit of the Secret Realm, an old man with a white beard? That guy is a bit long-winded, but you can ask him anything,"

Xiao Chuanqi said.

Ye Feng shook his head: "I didn't see any so-called Spirit of the Secret Realm."

While he said this, he couldn't help but find it a bit amusing inside. Xiao Chuanqi actually found Elder Bai long-winded—if he knew Elder Bai's strength and identity, he would probably be scared witless.

Zhao Xuanzhen kept a close eye on Ye Feng, sensing that Ye Feng didn't seem to be lying; he probably really did stumble into some uninhabited dark place within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

"Brother Ye, was there Power of Spirit Essence in that dark place?"

Chi Jark asked again.

"There was. The Power of Spirit Essence in that place was rather strong. I just kept cultivating, and perhaps I immersed myself too deeply. It wasn't until the sixth day that I woke up,"

"When I woke up, a Gate of Whirlpool had already appeared in front of me, and I came out through it."

"You all weren't in a dark space?"

Ye Feng even questioned them back, speaking as if everything were true.

"And the spirit stones? Master, didn't you mine any spirit stones?"

Xiao Chuanqi couldn't help but ask again.

"Speaking of spirit stones, that really annoys me. Where are all the spirit stones I was promised? I have been in that dark space from the beginning to the end, and not a single spirit stone was in sight. Now what? Weren't we supposed to contribute fifty spirit stones?"

"I don't have a single one; where am I supposed to find fifty stones to hand over?"

"And I haven't seen so much as a Shadow of that Spirit Essence Pool."

Ye Feng appeared to be very angered, genuinely looking somewhat frustrated.

Witnessing Ye Feng like this, everybody truly believed he had ended up in some dark space, where he cultivated for six days and then was suddenly transported out—without any connection to spirit stones or the Spirit Essence Pool!

The onlookers gave each other strange looks, as Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong were even inclined to laugh. The spirit stones and Spirit Essence Pool were the most important treasures in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, yet now, Ye Feng had only cultivated in one place for six days. This was arguably the smallest gain anyone had.

Not only had he not bathed in the Spirit Essence Pool, but he also didn't even have the fifty spirit stones required for submission. What a pity.

"Master, it's no trouble. We each mined five hundred stones. Zhan Tian and the others and I can just chip in ten stones each for you,"

Xiao Chuanqi said earnestly, even taking out ten spirit stones and handing them over to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng, looking at the spirit stones Xiao Chuanqi passed to him, felt a twitch in his eyelid, especially seeing Xiao Chuanqi's serious demeanor. Right now, he really wanted to kick the guy.

You mined five hundred spirit stones, and you have the nerve to offer only ten? Are you serious?

Is this how you treat your master?

The others were also looking on with peculiar expressions, dying to laugh as they watched the interaction between Xiao Chuanqi and Ye Feng.

...

At the Xuanyuan Hall, two stunningly beautiful figures had already arrived at the entrance to Xuanyuan Hall.
