CHAPTER 693: CHAPTER 693: ALL FAMILIES ARE CONFUSED!

Boom!

With the fall of the last bolt of thunder, calm returned instantly.

At a glance, evidence of destruction caused by the thunder was visible all around.

Even the ancient trees were not spared, with one being split in half.

Upon seeing this scene, even Ye Feng couldn’t help but marvel; the destructive power was indeed terrifying.

He wondered how Miao Fu was doing.

With some concern, Ye Feng flew towards Miao Fu’s location.

"Haha!" At this moment, bursts of laughter came from where Miao Fu was.

"Is this! Minor Achievement of Golden Skin?" Upon approaching, Ye Feng discovered that Miao Fu was excitedly sitting on the ground, bare-skinned, yet emitting dazzling golden rays.

Indeed, with the help of the thunder, Miao Fu successfully refined his Golden Skin to the minor achievement realm.

Moreover, Miao Fu’s aura and realm had noticeably enhanced.

Now, Miao Fu possessed the realm pinnacle of an Intermediate Martial God; his combat power was sufficient to be invincible at the Advanced Martial God Realm.

He even had the capability to fight a typical Martial God pinnacle.

This is the benefit of Thunder Body Refining.

Although this cultivation path is unbearable for most people, those who withstand it experience immensely great effects; Miao Fu is the best example.

"Patriarch! I succeeded!" Upon Ye Feng’s arrival, Miao Fu excitedly reported, internally ecstatic.

"Not bad!" Ye Feng nodded, rarely offering a word of praise.

Afterward, Ye Feng handed a set of clothes to Miao Fu to change into, then took him back to the Ye Family.

With Miao Fu’s return, everyone in the Ye Family was astounded by his current strength.

Truly, prior to this, Miao Fu was merely at the half-step Martial God Realm, but after going out with Ye Feng, he returned as an Intermediate Martial God pinnacle, with combat power so exaggerated that it was overwhelming; how could one not be shocked? How could one not be envious?

"Whoa! The Patriarch truly has divine methods; within a day, he elevated him to the Intermediate Martial God pinnacle? Even taking a rocket wouldn’t be this fast, right?"

"Incredible! I knew the Patriarch was exceptional before, but I had no idea he was this formidable; absolutely mind-blowing."

"I really want to cling to the Patriarch’s thigh; if I could catch his eye, wouldn’t I become this powerful too?"

"Sob! A hundred years of difficult cultivation isn’t as good as a day’s worth of focused family training; I also want to cling to the Patriarch’s thigh."

Witnessing Ye Feng’s terrifying cultivation ability, everyone in the Ye Family began to look at Ye Feng with gleaming eyes.

They deeply hoped that they too might catch Ye Feng’s eye and receive thorough training.

But they understood well that those Ye Feng chooses are peerless talents; with their abilities, it’s impossible to gain Ye Feng’s favor.

The male members of the Ye Family simply gave up and honestly resumed their cultivation.

As for the female members, they started targeting Ye Feng, hoping to use their beauty to entice him, thus allowing them to rise swiftly.

Consequently, the female members of the Ye Family dressed extravagantly, all to attract Ye Feng’s attention and gain qualification for rapid ascent.

Hearing such rumors, Ye Feng merely chuckled.

Ye Feng indeed doesn’t take an interest in ordinary people, and even if someone truly catches his eye, what then? Ye Feng wouldn’t take the initiative to act.

Never mind taking initiative; previously, Lin Shuanger and Xu Zixi came to him voluntarily, yet Ye Feng ignored them. If Liu Xue hadn’t set him up, he wouldn’t have gone for them at all.

Even great beauties like Lin Shuanger and Xu Zixi couldn’t disrupt Ye Feng’s calm; much less the female members of the Ye Family—the likelihood of Ye Feng sparing them a glance is slim.

....

In a blink, the time for the Ye Family banquet finally arrived, and the entire Ye Family began to bustle.

During this period, the overall strength of the Ye Family also saw some enhancement, mainly with the bottom ranks advancing a level.

As for those above the Martial God realm, their strength saw some improvement too.

Currently, the top six elders all possess the combat power of an Advanced Martial God, adding two more to the top echelon of the Ye Family.

Coupled with Miao Fu and the Heaven-Devouring Beast, the Ye Family should have over 15 experts above the Advanced Martial God level.

One wonders if today’s visiting families would be shell-shocked upon witnessing such a scene.

To welcome the arrival of various sects, Ye Feng voluntarily removed the Illusion Array, to prevent anyone from losing themselves within it.

"Second Grade Yan Family, presents Ten-Thousand-Year Herbs to congratulate Ye Family on becoming the top premier family."

"Third Grade Fu Family, presents a pile of Top-Grade Jade to congratulate Ye Family on their unstoppable rise."

....

As time passed, numerous families arrived at the Ye Family bearing their prepared lavish gifts.

These things might be considered of little value to the Ye Family,

But to those families, these gifts might represent their savings accumulated over countless years.

As more people arrived, the scene grew increasingly lively.

"Wow... Such dense Spiritual Qi, such terrifying aura; the Ye Family is truly impressive!"

"Earlier, when the Guo Family was here, the Spiritual Qi wasn’t this dense; seems Patriarch Ye is a Divine Being who laid a powerful Spirit Gathering Array here."

"Why didn’t I spot any disciples below the half-step Martial God realm on my way here? Even those responsible for reception are half-step Martial God realms? Does the Ye Family seriously have no disciples below the half-step Martial God level?"

"Whoa! It’s really like that; this Ye Family is defying the heavens!"

Upon entering the Ye Family grounds, the various family patriarchs and high-level members were astonished, shocked by the intense Spiritual Qi and enormous strength of the Ye Family.

"Naturally, our Ye Family’s weakest, at the half-step Martial God realm, possesses combat power capable of challenging the half-step Martial God pinnacle."

"Absolutely! With such a remarkable Patriarch guiding us, if we don’t improve, how are we different from salted fish?"

"In our Ye Family, half-step Martial Gods are merely doing odd jobs."

Upon hearing these words, some members of the Ye Family flashed prideful smiles, answering with laughter.

"What? Ye Family truly has no disciples below the half-step Martial God level?"

"My goodness! Half-step MartialGods are considered the strongest in our family, yet in the Ye Family, they’re just doing odd jobs? The disparity between families is staggering!"

"Half-step Martial Gods! It’s something unattainable to me, yet in the Ye Family, it’s the lowest? Why is that?"

For a moment, many high-level members from various families were bewildered, stunned by the Ye Family’s terrifying power.

They couldn’t comprehend how the realm they yearned for all their lives was so easily attainable in the Ye Family.

’If I join the Ye Family now as a regular disciple, would it still be possible?’ Such thoughts emerged in the minds of many high-level family members.

Some patriarchs even considered whether they should bring their entire family to join the Ye Family....
