The trial of the Illusory Realm has come to an end. Ye Feng declined Zhong Lixia's invitation, and at this point, Zhong Lixia no longer regarded Ye Feng as just an ordinary Qi Refining stage junior disciple, but instead sincerely wanted to befriend him. Before leaving, Ou Siyu also told Ye Feng that he should definitely visit the Mystic Lost Valley if he had the chance in the future, to which Ye Feng nodded in agreement.

  Once again on the spaceship, the Wanhui faction was filled with emotions. Everyone stopped meditating and instead asked Ye Feng about what happened in the fantasy realm. They were all amazed that Ye Feng had obtained all the task items, a miracle that had never been seen before. Ye Feng attributed all the credit to Little Red, saying he had unintentionally obtained it and then used its power to complete the seemingly impossible tasks.

  As for whether others believe it or not, that's not Ye Feng's problem. Anyway, he won't say anything, so no one will know that the monkey helped him.

  Back to Wang Hai's faction, at this time Wang Hai's faction was already booming with drums and firecrackers, warmly welcoming a group of people back, to be precise, welcoming Ye Feng's return.

  Although the Great Elder Li Xincheng was unwilling to let Ye Feng have all the glory, he also had no choice but to report Ye Feng's heroic deeds to the Wanghai Sect through the Thousand Mile Transmission beforehand. If such a big thing happened and Li Xincheng didn't report it to the sect leader Gong Sunhui in advance, wouldn't that be equivalent to being jealous of Ye Feng's credit? Even if it was out of his duty as the team leader, Li Xincheng had to do so.

  The leader, Gong Sunhui, personally led the team to welcome outside the Wanghai Sect's mountain protection array. Behind him was the elder of Ling Shou Peak, Sun Qi, and on both sides were a group of elders, followed by the disciples of the Wanghai Sect, forming two long lines.

  Li Xincheng's mouth was bitter, all these years, since he entered the Wanghai faction, he had never seen such a grand scene, let alone his own sect's disciples returning, even if it were the leader of another sect coming to visit, it had never been so grand, in his memory, this was still the first time.

  "Elder Gong Sun, you've worked hard." Gong Sun Hui gave Li Xinchen some face and greeted him first. Li Xinchen didn't dare to be arrogant and quickly led a few people to pay their respects to Gong Sun Hui and the other elders.

  Gongsun Hui immediately turned to Ye Feng, "Hehe, Ye Feng, this time you've really earned face for our Wanghai faction. As the leader, I can finally hold my head high."

  The joy in his tone is evident in every word, this is absolutely genuine excitement.

  "Master is overpraising me, I'm just doing what I should do, and it's just that I've been lucky." Ye Feng was quite modest in front of Gong Sun.

  "It's not just good luck, it's too good! You've gone out twice and both times you've achieved such great merit, and brought back two pets with such high cultivation. You're now the lucky star of our Wanghai Sect! If every disciple had your kind of luck, our Wanghai Sect would have dominated Zhongzhou long ago." Gong Sun Hui was already grinning from ear to ear.

  The eyes of the elders and disciples behind had already passed over Gong Sunhui, the leader, and were cast on Xiaohong's body. The shock brought by this fiery giant was inexpressible in words. Last time Ye Feng brought Sanlang back, not everyone saw him, but now Xiaohong appeared before the crowd, a golden elixir spirit beast, once considered a waste of a Qi-refining period disciple's pet, what could be more unbearable than this?

  In the entire Wang Hai Sect, he is now the only one who has reached the Golden Elixir stage. In the entire Zhongzhou, his strength is considered to be the lowest. However, in less than half a year's time, Ye Feng brought back two Golden Elixir stage pets, causing the overall strength of the Wang Hai Sect to rise steadily by another level.

  It can be said that if Ye Feng wants to gain a certain right of speech in the Wanghai faction, Gong Sun will also carefully consider Ye Feng's opinion.

  Gongsun Wuyou didn't say another word and the entire Wanghai faction celebrated for five days.

  Moreover, a grand celebration was specially held for the disciples who participated in the Illusory Realm trial to return. Except for those who participated in the trial like Ye Feng, all the others were elder-level figures, and it was held at the highest peak of the Wanghai Sect's authority, the Zhongfeng Peak.

  At the banquet, Ye Feng listened to countless words of praise and smiled back with countless kind words.

  Finally, the leader Gong Sun suddenly announced that from now on, Ye Feng would enjoy the treatment of an elder, but for the sake of Ye Feng's future development, he could be exempted from participating in some trivial matters within the sect.

  Everyone was stunned by Gong Sunhui's decision, this is too fast, Ye Feng has only been promoted to executive for less than half a year and now he's being promoted to elder again, isn't it too fast, won't someone be dissatisfied, after all Ye Feng is not even sixteen years old yet.

  Gongsun Hui shut down everyone's doubts with one sentence, saying that as long as any of you can achieve one of the two things Ye Feng has done, it will definitely promote you by two ranks.

  Everyone was suddenly speechless, no one dared to be so arrogant, let alone go find that uncomfortable person. Moreover, the leader Gong Sun would understand, Ye Feng enjoyed elder-level treatment and did not participate in sect affairs.

  At most, Ye Feng would get a few more crystal stones every month. The elder would call out to him with "Ye Shidi" when they saw each other, and the disciples should treat him with seniority etiquette. That's all there is to it.

  The first to congratulate Ye Feng were Sun Qi and Yin Mengli. The two walked in front of Ye Feng, "Congratulations, Young Master Ye."

  Ye Feng couldn't adapt and accept it for a while, "Two elders have killed me, I don't dare to be your disciple."

  "Ye Feng, you're not right in saying that. The Cultivation Realm has always been about cultivation being the measure of one's standing. It's nothing to be proud of, and with your current momentum, I'll even call you senior in the future, haha." Sun Qi was overjoyed and spoke somewhat recklessly.

  But he said so is also heartfelt for Ye Feng feel happy.

  "Alas, let's deal with the trouble Ye Feng has brought this time first." Li Xincheng had long been dissatisfied with everything in front of him. Originally, the most promising disciple to win honor for the Wanghai Sect in this trial was Su Mubai, who was also Li Xincheng's favorite disciple. Including Zuo Leixing and Su Mubai, there were a total of eleven disciples from the Jian Ge Sect. Who would have thought that Su Mubai and Zuo Leixing not only failed to complete their personal tasks but also lost five disciples in this trial? How could Li Xincheng not be choked with anger?

  "Great Elder, what trouble has Ye Feng brought." Sun Qi's tone was unfriendly. This Li Xincheng had clearly been blinded by jealousy. At this time, he was looking for trouble and being unreasonable. If a Swordsman Sect disciple had obtained such an honor, others would be causing trouble, and you, Li Xincheng, would have to fight with them to the death.

  "Of course, we've offended the Yin Yang Sect and the Bagua Gate. These two sects are not something our Wang Hai Sect can compare to. Ye Feng has humiliated the leaders of both sects, I'm sure they won't let this go so easily. Later on, our Wang Hai Sect will probably face a great disaster. And then there's the complete falling out with the Qian Kun Sect from before. With all these added together... Hmph, Ye Feng, you're in charge now." Li Xinchen looked at Ye Feng with ill intentions.

  The elderly people who were still in a state of joy suddenly had their excitement fly to the ninth cloud when they heard this, and after calming down and thinking carefully, it was indeed the case that the opponent facing the Wanghai School was not a vegetarian, and the weakest Qiankun School was almost on par with the Wanghai School.

  "If Ye Feng hadn't taken the lead, these troubles wouldn't have arisen out of thin air. To say that Ye Feng is the lucky star of Wang Hai Pai might not be as fitting as saying he's a jinx instead." Li Xincheng's vicious words made Ye Feng seem completely in the wrong.

  Even Zuo Yue and Su Mu Bai couldn't help but look down on him, they just couldn't speak up for Ye Feng due to their junior status.

  "Li Xincheng, as a respected elder of the Sword Pavilion, how can you spout such nonsense? Last time when the Qiankun Sect came to provoke us, it was clearly Ye Feng who was forced to take action. As for the Qiankun Sect being humiliated, that's their own doing. Are we supposed to let others bully us and still swallow our pride at our own doorstep? Your Sword Pavilion disciples may have such tolerance, but I, a disciple of the Ling Beast Peak, would never dare to shame the Wanghai Sect like this." Sun Qi was furious, thinking Li Xincheng was just a despicable person.

  The two branches had little contact before, and Sun Qi hadn't discovered the despicable Li Xincheng. Now he sees through him.

  "Although I didn't follow him to the Illusory Realm, I know Ye Feng's character very well. He would never provoke a strong enemy without reason. It must be that the other party did something to offend the Wanghai Sect, and only then would Ye Feng deal with them like that." Sun Qi absolutely believed in Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng bowed deeply to Sun Qi, "Thank you, elder, for trusting your disciple." Then he straightened up and loudly said to everyone, "The situation at the time was like this: two elders from the Bagua Sect and the Yin-Yang Sect humiliated the great elder of the Sword Pavilion. Su Mubai, my senior brother, couldn't bear it, stepped forward but hadn't even had a chance to reason with them when he was ambushed. I, your disciple, had no choice, my cultivation is low, and I had no chance of winning in a hard fight against others, so I made a desperate bet with the two of them."

  At this point, Ye Feng's expression turned solemn. "At that time, the disciple had no guarantee of winning, but thought that if he lost, it would only be a loss for him alone and wouldn't affect the reputation of the sect. But if he won, it would be a boost to the prestige of Wanghai Sect! Moreover, the disciple was well-prepared, and even if he lost, he would absolutely not leave the entrance of the Illusory Realm, staying there forever, even if it meant being trapped in the Illusory Realm for life. He couldn't let others look down on Wanghai Sect!"

  Ye Feng said with great righteousness, and at that time he also thought so. Once lost, he would absolutely not show his face, but hide in the inner world, thinking of ways to secretly leave, rather than staying in the fantasy realm to die for a cause.

  His words made many people feel ashamed. As the elder of the sect, they were not even as good as a Qi Refining stage disciple, and it was truly embarrassing.

  "Heaven blesses me with the Sea Watching Sect, and under the circumstances, my disciple completed an impossible task and even made friends with the Mystic Valley." Ye Feng's words were full of emotion.

  "What? You've joined the Mystic Valley? That's one of the top two major sects in Zhongzhou!" an elder exclaimed.

  Gongsun Hui's face also changed color. If Ye Feng really had a connection with the Mystic Valley, then the Wanghai Sect might be worry-free.

  "Yes, the elder of Mirage Valley, Ou Siyao, and her disciples are on good terms. When they parted ways, she said that if anything happens in the future, I can go to Mirage Valley to find her." Ye Feng continued.

  "Hmm, perhaps the Bagua Sect and the Yin-Yang Sect will spare us, the Wanghai Sect, out of consideration for the reputation of the Mirage Valley." said an elder.

  "Not only that, Zhong Lixia's Zhong Liye also matched my brother and strongly invited the disciples to visit Zhong Lixia's house as a guest, but at that time the disciples returned to the sect with a eager heart and did not follow."

  Ye Feng's words were like a heavy bombshell falling among the crowd, causing an uproar.

  What is Zhong Lishijia? To put it bluntly, ten Wang Haipai may not be worth a single Zhong Lishijia.

  The Zhong Lishijia's history of existence is far longer than the Wang Haipai, not only is it a dominant force in the Central Plains' cultivation world, but also a large merchant family, with all sorts of crystal stones, magical artifacts, and medicinal elixirs, there's nothing that the Zhong Lishijia hasn't come into contact with.

  Zhong Liye as the young master of the Zhong Li family, is a person who looks down on everyone, normally it's impossible for ordinary cultivators to meet him, now he's on familiar terms with Ye Feng brothers! Everyone doesn't know what to say, let alone there's also Qi Siyao this old demon-level figure who is willing to be on familiar terms with Ye Feng siblings.

  Although these two are not the highest authorities within their sect, the Sect Master Gong Sun wouldn't dare to be arrogant when meeting with others in the afternoon, and can only address them as equals. In that case, shouldn't Ye Feng be of the same generation as Sect Master Gong Sun?
