The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2200 - 2189: Initial Adaptation

Tian Xuan Realm.

Central Continent.

Inside a cave on the mountain nearest to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Ye Chenfeng, with his eyes closed, lay motionless on the ground. However, his breathing was very steady, and the wounds on his body had mostly healed.

At this point, five days had passed since the incident at the South Square of Spirit Artifact City.

In other words, Ye Chenfeng had been unconscious for a full five days.

Inside the cave.

Not only Xiao Yongzhan and Xue Wanqing were present, but also Zhao Xingtu, Yun Rong, and Yuan Kun, who had left Spirit Artifact City afterward, were here.

Zhao Xingtu and Yun Rong had already learned about the events that took place at the South Square. They didn’t expect the situation to be so full of twists and turns, so thrilling.

What surprised them even more was that even someone like Jin Shouyan, an ancestor in the Divine King Realm, got involved. Of course, the most important thing was that Jin Shouyan was ultimately killed by Ye Chenfeng in one strike? When they first heard this news, Zhao Xingtu and Yun Rong were completely stunned, barely able to catch their breath from the shock.

Zhao Xingtu and others didn’t take Ye Chenfeng directly into the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin for a reason. When Xue Wanqing and the others first tried to enter the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin with Ye Chenfeng, a force of scrutiny had formed inside the ancient city, requiring all entrants to be inspected before being allowed to enter.

Back then, Luo Qianjiang and Hua Liukong, after confirming Ye Chenfeng’s destination, immediately contacted cultivators within the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. After all, not every cultivator was interested in watching the Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony, and there were still strong cultivators in the ancient city.

The Ancient City of Heavenly Origin was once a very mysterious place. At night, the entire city would disappear, but now that it had returned to normal, many cultivators naturally wanted to unlock its mysteries.

The three forces, Xiao Yao Palace, Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Jins, jointly issued a warrant. Many cultivators would give them face, and Xiao Yao Palace had already labeled Ye Chenfeng as a disruptor of the Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony. Many cultivators who hadn’t gone to Spirit Artifact City to watch the grand ceremony naturally believed their nonsense.

Luo Qianjiang and the others were unsure whether there were any Divine King Realm experts supporting Ye Chenfeng. That’s why they let others test the waters first, otherwise, they would have stormed into the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin themselves.

Luo Qianjiang and his group used some method to transmit portraits of Ye Chenfeng and the others into the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, and now wanted posters of Ye Chenfeng, Xue Wanqing, and others were posted at the city gates!

Moreover, all the people from the Qingyue Sect and others who had relocated to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin were temporarily detained by the forces within the city, all imprisoned in the same place.

Zhao Xingtu and Yun Rong’s strength was limited. It is said that there are several Heavenly God Realm seventh-level peak experts and even a half-step Divine King expert within the current Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. If they charged in recklessly with their strength, the outcome would likely be a one-way trip.

Furthermore, those who had earlier been transferred to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, like the Qingyue Sect, the Yuns, and the Array Magic Pavilion, were not in any immediate danger, only having their freedom restricted. This was why Zhao Xingtu and the others decided to wait until Ye Chenfeng woke up to discuss further.

Yun Rong looked at the deeply sleeping Ye Chenfeng. Over the past few days, they had helped Ye Chenfeng recover from his injuries. He said, "I really didn’t expect it! Brother Ye is actually skilled in alchemy, instruments, and formations. Being able to have such a brother in my life, I have no regrets."

Yuan Kun immediately nodded, "Even now, I still remember the first time I met Chenfeng! Back then, I just thought he was a genius in alchemy, someone who could achieve something in that field. Who could have foreseen that Chenfeng would far surpass my expectations and the entire situation in the Tian Xuan Realm would be stirred by just him? What we have to face next is not simple."

Zhao Xingtu said somewhat excitedly, "Every step the Pavilion Master took seemed extremely dangerous, but upon closer thought, they were all under his control. It’s just that this trap set by Xiao Yao Palace caught us off guard. Since the Pavilion Master previously instructed us to transfer people to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, he probably anticipated that even without this trap, after the end of this Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony, Xiao Yao Palace and other forces would act against us. Do you think, given the Pavilion Master’s nature, he wouldn’t be prepared for this?"

Gao Deming frowned and said, "It seems that the earlier killing of Jin Shouyan by Chenfeng was entirely through external force. His true strength is only at the sixth-level peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm, and probably the side effects of using external force are significant; otherwise, Chenfeng wouldn’t have been asleep for so long."

Shortly after Gao Deming’s words fell.

The sleeping Ye Chenfeng’s eyelids fluttered twice. Xue Wanqing and Yuan Jia, who were by his side, immediately showed joy on their faces. Yuan Jia shouted, "Grandfather, Brother Ye is waking up."

All eyes in the cave focused on Ye Chenfeng.

Sure enough, after a short moment, Ye Chenfeng opened his eyes. When he first opened them, he was a bit unaccustomed to the light and used his hand to shield his eyes.

After adjusting completely, Ye Chenfeng sat up from the ground, feeling that both his internal and external injuries had fully recovered. He knew it was Xue Wanqing and the others who had helped him heal, and the mental exhaustion and pressure had also completely dissipated after his slumber.

Ye Chenfeng was recalling the events before his unconsciousness in his mind, and the others present did not interrupt him.

After a moment, Ye Chenfeng said, "How many days have I been unconscious? Where is this? Did anything happen outside while I was unconscious during these days?"

Yun Rong replied, "Brother Ye, you have been unconscious for five days. We are currently in a mountain range closest to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. The situation right now is not optimistic. Although Xiao Yao Palace hasn’t immediately struck us, they have contacted cultivators within the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin and issued a warrant for us. Now, to enter the ancient city, one must undergo inspection, and those who transferred into the city have all been detained."

Ye Chenfeng knew the people inside the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin were likely Xiao Yao Palace’s cannon fodder, meant to fully test his strength, as Jin Shouyan’s death was mysterious in their eyes.

Enhancing his own strength was now the most crucial thing for Ye Chenfeng. The temperature gathered by the Vermilion Bird was almost sufficient, so he could use it to further accelerate his adaptation to the Dragon Crystal.

Currently, he could adapt to three Dragon Crystals. If he could adapt to four, then he would be almost fully adapted.

Ye Chenfeng thought for a while and said, "Let me go into seclusion for a day, and tomorrow we will head to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin immediately."

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Yun Rong, Xue Wanqing, and the others all left the cave.

Once he was alone.

Ye Chenfeng released the Vermilion Bird Spirit Artifact parasitic inside the Meteoric Flame Sword, and the temperature inside the cave suddenly rose.

Ye Chenfeng communicated with the Vermilion Bird Spirit Artifact with his consciousness, "Little one, use your temperature to burn me."

The Vermilion Bird Spirit Artifact, tamed by Ye Chenfeng, now obeyed his commands. Understanding Ye Chenfeng’s intention, an extreme temperature burst forth from the gigantic Vermilion Bird Spirit Artifact, enveloping Ye Chenfeng within it.

The intense heat instantly turned Ye Chenfeng’s skin red, and he felt as if his internal organs were about to catch fire.

Ye Chenfeng still had a total of 989 Dragon Crystals, and he could absorb three Dragon Crystals at a time into his body.

The higher the level of strength, the more Dragon Crystals were needed. Last time, breaking into the sixth-level peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm consumed four Dragon Crystals.

Three Dragon Crystals appeared in Ye Chenfeng’s hands immediately, and he absorbed them directly into his body. The unavoidable pain of integrating them into his meridians was inevitable.

As the temperature burned, the absorbed Dragon Crystals were quickly absorbed by Ye Chenfeng. After absorbing the three Dragon Crystals, his strength did not increase.

The temperature continued to burn.

This time, Ye Chenfeng took out four Dragon Crystals and tried to absorb them into his body. Unexpectedly, all four were successfully integrated into his body.

But, the pain increased several times over, and Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but use his hand to support himself. Yet, he felt joy within. Absorbing all four Dragon Crystals indicated that he had initially adapted to them. As soon as the pain from absorbing Dragon Crystals disappeared, he would have fully adapted. This time, he was determined to fully adapt to the Dragon Crystals in one go.
