Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Wei Fan resurfaced, addressing the Zhou Family. Gossipers quickly spread the news, as the Zhou Family was part of the Martial Emperor Clan. Regardless of the reason, their involvement in resisting the Demon Fiends meant added strength for the Human Race.

If the Martial Emperor Clan went back on their word, they would become a laughingstock, a reputation that even they couldn’t ignore.

Not long after, it was discovered that a large number of powerhouses from the Zhou Family had left the Divine City. Whether it was to combat the Demon Fiends or to kill the prodigy Wei Fan remained unknown.

Breaking through to the Saint Realm in four months and then cultivating to the Divine Containment Realm—such extraordinary talent made not only the Demon Fiends uneasy, but also the Zhou Family, who bore a grudge against Wei Fan.

...

"I’ll take over from here. You should return to the Holy City or find somewhere to hide!"

In the City Lord’s Hall of Shuiyun City, Wei Fan did not expect the first thing Ouyang Bolun said was to end his mission, asking him to return to the Holy City or hide. This made Wei Fan frown slightly.

The Black Dragon Great Saint also frowned, "Didn’t you just say Wei Fan needs to temper himself in battle? Why are you now asking him to leave?"

Ouyang Bolun shook his head, "Things are different now..."

He drew out his words, casting a somewhat shocked look at Wei Fan, and said, "Before, he was just a nineteen-year-old at the Saint Realm. Even if the Demon Fiends wanted to kill him, they wouldn’t make a big scene. But now, he’s a prodigy who broke through to the Divine Containment Realm in four months. The situation is different."

As he spoke, he appeared solemn and said, "Just now, the Demon Hunter Organization monitored that the Purple-Beard Dragon Emperor and the White Crane Demon Emperor from the Profound Crane Sect showed signs of movement, heading in the direction of Yaozhou!"

The Black Dragon Great Saint gasped, "Do they intend to trigger an Emperor-level conflict?"

The Demon Emperors were stirring, no wonder Ouyang Bolun said Wei Fan should quickly hide. If a Demon Emperor decides to attack a Martial Saint, even a Martial Emperor would have difficulty ensuring safety.

Once an Emperor-level expert erupts in battle, the battlefield spans thousands of miles, making it impossible to avoid.

"We don’t know, but we must be prepared. Besides the Demon Emperors showing movement, we also detected several Saint King-level Demon Saints approaching. Even if the Demon Emperors do not act, guarding against Saint King powerhouses is very difficult."

Therefore, even though the battle in Shuiyun City was over, he rushed over immediately.

With Wei Fan appearing, the real battle was just starting. He didn’t even know how many Demon Saints would arrive in Shuiyun City, nor was he sure he could protect Wei Fan, so asking Wei Fan to leave was the wisest decision.

They hoped Wei Fan would grow and temper himself in battle, but not in a battle they couldn’t control. The upcoming battle was not something Wei Fan, with just Divine Containment Realm cultivation, or even he, a Saint King powerhouse, was sure to survive.

"I will not leave!"

Wei Fan shook his head in direct refusal. He had just declared publicly that those who wanted to kill him could come to Shuiyun City. It would be a blow to his reputation to turn around and hide.

Even if it was just superficial fame, he had the Human Emperor Fruit Position and was a contemporary sage. Reputation was not something inconsequential to him, as the things he did in Jinzhou continued to benefit him.

To hide now would make it hard to restore his reputation later.

Besides, the Demon Emperors might not act. At worst, he could reveal Wei Ran’s identity—he was confident in his self-preservation.

The arriving Demon Saints for this battle would certainly be plenty. By letting loose and killing, he might accumulate enough power to break through to the Martial Emperor.

"I knew you wouldn’t leave. Take this; it contains a single attack’s power from me, to save your life when necessary."

Ouyang Bolun wasn’t surprised and didn’t try to persuade Wei Fan further. Instead, he tossed a piece of Divine Jade to Wei Fan.

The jade, sealed with the power of a single attack from a Saint King like him, was equivalent to a Heavy Artifact. It was all he could do because, if it were him, he wouldn’t hide either.

This incident, Wei Fan could only avoid temporarily. If he managed to survive the battle, it would greatly benefit him, fostering an invincible resolve.

Ouyang Bolun and the Black Dragon Great Saint left, starting the evacuation of ordinary residents from Shuiyun City. The upcoming battle would surely be earth-shattering, and only combat personnel would remain.

Not just Shuiyun City, but ordinary residents across thousands of miles were to be evacuated.

Unfamiliar with the military officers, Wei Fan had no interest in managing these matters. He directly found a place, set up a grand array, and summoned the interface.

[Ten Thousand Dao Bell (Great Success)]

[Scripture of the Three Emperors (Saint Realm Perfection)]

[Nine-Nine True Skill (Fifty-Eighth Diagram)]

...

[Ordinary Power: 8,390,000 years]

[Martial Saint’s Power: 26,600 years]

The ordinary power was already sufficient to perfect the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, which had always been his trump card. He immediately allocated power to the Ten Thousand Dao Bell.

"I wonder how the current Ten Thousand Dao Bell compares to a real Emperor’s Soldier!"

To outsiders, the power he unleashed using the Bell Attraction seemed like the force of an Emperor’s Soldier, but only he knew the Ten Thousand Dao Bell was not an Emperor’s Soldier and was not the same as one.

Ordinarily, even Martial Emperor powerhouses could only unleash a small fraction of an Emperor’s Soldier’s full power.

However, when he used the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, its power was not limited by his lower cultivation level, so whether the Ten Thousand Dao Bell could rival an Emperor’s Soldier, he wasn’t sure.

The panel began to flicker, and the Ten Thousand Dao Bell hummed and trembled. In the following time, Wei Fan was constantly waiting for the Ten Thousand Dao Bell to reach Perfection.

During this period, he repeatedly felt the aura of Saint Realm powerhouses descending upon Shuiyun City. Apparently, the Demon Hunter Organization was dispatching experts from across the land to Shuiyun City in preparation for the impending great battle.

[Eight million years of Ordinary Power, your Ten Thousand Dao Bell completes Perfection. Ten Thousand Dao resonate...]

[Ten Thousand Dao Bell (Perfection)]

[Ordinary Power: 390,000 years]

Finally, Wei Fan witnessed the Perfection of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell. However, he evidently underestimated the waves set off by the completion of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell.

"Rumble..."

At the instant the Ten Thousand Dao Bell reached Perfection, he didn’t have time to closely examine the panel; within his Sea of Consciousness, the thunderous roar of myriad thunders erupted.

In an instant, the Ten Thousand Dao emerged in his heart, filling his Heart and Spirit World, reverberating together, bringing forth astonishing Dao vibrations, as the infinite Dao Yun overwhelmed his heart spirit.

"Dang..."

A bell chime rang out, golden bell waves spread like a tide, and a massive amount of Divine Power was released from the Golden Bell, instantly engulfing Wei Fan’s Sea of Consciousness, diffusing from within it, permeating into his limbs and bones.

His whole body emitted dazzling golden light, as mysterious Dao Runes manifested from his flesh and bones, rapidly evolving, with the position nurturing Divine Abilities on his chest resembling a black hole, ravenously devouring the surging Divine Power.

Wei Fan was immersed in the wondrous realm of merging with the Ten Thousand Dao, his ears filled with the exquisite Celestial Sounds, his heart spirit rapidly growing, his Primordial Spirit glowing, and both the Martial Arts Celestial Eye and Wind and Thunder Wings inadvertently activated, as if some kind of shackle was broken, with his Will Power surging, and both power and origin rapidly increasing.

At the same time, the external world shook, the Great Dao roared, as avenues that pierced through heaven and earth automatically appeared.

Shuiyun City was full of anomalies, with the heavens tearing open, the power of the Great Dao surging violently, everyone’s heart spirit trembling, feeling that the Great Dao had never been so close, so much so that they could almost touch it, some even sat cross-legged, entering a state of Enlightenment Dao.

"What’s happening? Could it be that the Demon Emperor has descended?"

Someone with a face full of shock watched as the Ten Thousand Dao intertwined, as if welcoming a supreme existence.

"It can’t be the Demon Emperor descending. If it were the Demon Emperor, it wouldn’t have this Enlightenment Dao feeling; it must be someone nearby breaking through to Martial Emperor or Becoming an Emperor."

"Stop the nonsense, this is a supreme opportunity, hurry and comprehend the Dao."

Regardless of whether they were in the Saint Realm or Martial King, everyone within the range of Shuiyun City sat down, wholeheartedly sensing the mysteries of the Ten Thousand Dao. As for the reason why these phenomena occurred, it was not a time for deep investigation.

Everyone began their cultivation, with their aura significantly strengthened to varying degrees of progress.

"Could it be that Xuanyuan Peak has Become an Emperor?"

Ouyang Bolun’s mind was shaking, as the sight before him wasn’t something that breaking through to Emperor Cheng could create, because he himself was already at the pinnacle of the Dao, with his Dao reaching twelve thousand zhang high, just one step away from becoming an Emperor.

The miraculous phenomena of Becoming an Emperor wouldn’t cause even his own Dao to tremble or make him feel like a bottleneck was loosening.

In the next moment, he too couldn’t care less about finding out what was happening and sat down hurriedly, frantically attacking the Martial Emperor Realm barrier.

At this moment, with the Ten Thousand Dao shaking and the suppression of heaven and earth infinitely weakened, if he’s lucky, he might be able to take this opportunity to break through to Martial Emperor.

Wei Fan had no idea what was happening outside; the benefits from the Ten Thousand Dao Bell achieving Perfection were far greater than he imagined, as his inner and outer selves underwent a rebirth-like transformation, with his flesh covered in dense Dao Runes.

Even his Primordial Spirit bore inherently formed Dao Patterns, especially at the locations of the Wind and Thunder Wings and Martial Arts Celestial Eye, where the Dao Patterns were even more pronounced.

"Am I considered a Martial Emperor or a Saint Realm now?"

Awakening to reality, Wei Fan was in shock, for at this moment, he was confident that he could defeat his previous self within three moves, even though his former self was already a Saint King Powerhouse, he now had such assurance.

At this moment, his origin was majestic, at least several times stronger, making him feel as if living for ten thousand years wouldn’t be an issue.

From all aspects, he had already surpassed the Saint Realm category, yet there was still some gap compared to Martial Emperor Powerhouses.

Because in terms of understanding the Dao, he was still at the Saint Realm cultivation level, but his overall combat power had absolutely exceeded the Saint Realm.

Of course, the fundamental reason was the magical Martial Arts of the Golden Bell Shield, which had caused profound changes in both his body and Primordial Spirit.

The Nine-Nine True Skill, he simply hadn’t had the time to cultivate; once he cultivated it, he should swiftly complete his Saint Realm cultivation.

"This Divine Ability has yet to manifest?"

Wei Fan slightly frowned. With his current physical realm, which had already surpassed the Saint Realm category, with Qi Blood as vibrant as the sea, bare-handedly breaking top-level Holy Soldiers as easily as playing, and withstanding heavy artifacts without suffering even a scratch.

By logic, at such a physical realm, his Divine Abilities should have already been manifested, yet there was no sign of them appearing.

"Never mind it!"

Wei Fan quickly calmed his mind and looked again at the panel.
