The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 230: Yunhua Sect’s Star-Raising Celebration, Stacking Rage Points
In the blink of an eye, the next day had arrived.

The disciples received their brand-new identity tokens and began to study them.

“The message transmission range of this identity token has actually extended to five hundred miles!”

“Not only that, its defense function has been strengthened.”

“I discovered that the identity token can also emit sword beams, and its offensive capabilities are not bad at all. Most importantly, it now has a storage space comparable to an ordinary lower-grade spiritual artifact!”

The disciples became familiar with their new identity tokens, one surprise after another.

Seeing this, Ye Feng revealed a smile.

[Upgrade Energy: 25.8%]

When he had reforged the identity tokens, the resources consumed for each one were equivalent to the creation of five lower-grade spiritual artifacts, and the upgrade energy gained was half that of a middle-grade spiritual artifact, a considerable increase in upgrade energy.

Even so, the distance to becoming a supreme-grade spiritual artifact was still three-quarters of the required energy away, a long journey ahead.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

The day to attend the star-raising ceremony at Yunhua Sect had finally arrived.

“Sect Master Ye, it is time to depart!”

The Deputy City Lord, Palace Master of Nishang Palace, Sect Leader of Tyrant Blade Sect, and Sect Leader of Feathers Sect, stepping on their flying spirit artifacts, with dozens of disciples, stood outside Misty Peak calling out.

“I am coming!” Ye Feng responded.

Except for the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine Tree, all the other disciples and spiritual beasts set out with Ye Feng.

“Why is it me watching the house again?”

The Thousand-Year Ancient Pine watched the figures departing into the distance, silently shedding tears.

…

The Yunhua Mountain Range.

Ye Feng and his group arrived at Yunhua Peak, and saw Fourth Elder Liu Yuzhi waiting at the peak to receive guests.

In addition, there were outstanding inner sect disciples like Lin Yuyan standing by to accompany and guide the visitors.

“Sect Master Ye, this way, please!” Liu Yuzhi took the initiative to greet them and led Ye Feng and his group to the front of the Sect Master’s Grand Hall.

Although located at the peak, the area was spacious, with thousands of chairs of original wood color. Many seats were already occupied by cultivators from various sects.

“Sect Master Ye, you’ve finally arrived.”

“Sect Master Ye, how have you been recently?”

“Sect Master Ye, I heard you are not yet married, have you considered joining our sect’s Holy Maiden as dual cultivation companions?”

As soon as he arrived, sect masters from various sects immediately stood up to greet him, and some even began to pitch their sect’s talented female disciples.

“Ahem, hello everyone!” Ye Feng waved his hands and quickly sat down in the seat arranged by Liu Yuzhi.

Before long, Ye Feng felt as though there were thorns on his back and turned to look just in time to meet Qingyun Zhenren’s gloomy eyes.

“Hmph!”

Qingyun Zhenren huffed coldly and took his seat.

Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled slightly.

It seemed that Qingyun Zhenren was still holding a grudge about the Hardwood Plains conflict; otherwise, he wouldn’t have openly shown such a cold attitude in public.

As time passed, more and more cultivators arrived at Yunhua Peak. Including the thousands of disciples from Yunhua Sect and nearly a thousand visiting guests, at least two-thirds of the seats were occupied, making it quite lively.

“Welcome, everyone! Thank you for coming!”

A hearty and elderly voice emanated from inside the Sect Master’s Grand Hall, followed by a wave of footsteps that were steady and brimming with joy.

Yunhua Zhenren, dressed in splendid attire, appeared before everyone, flanked by the four Great Elders, the ten stewards, and a hundred inner sect disciples.

“Seven days ago, with the strong support of Sect Master Ye, our Yunhua Sect finally passed the assessment for star-level sects. From today onwards, our Yunhua Sect has finally been promoted to a one-star sect,”

The booming voice echoed throughout the Yunhua Mountain Range, thundering in the ears.

Ye Feng’s help?

The sect masters from various sects were taken aback.

It was well known that Yunhua Sect’s failure to pass the star-level sect certification before was due to their spirit vein being severed and the core nucleus missing. Could it be that Ye Feng had added a crucial core nucleus to Yunhua Sect’s spirit vein?

At this thought, all sect leaders were shocked.

Whoosh!

A brilliant rainbow light descended from the sky.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see Elder Hong Meng, accompanied by the two stewards, Qin Ping and Qin Wan, arriving through the air. Below their feet was a carpet made of pink flower petals, extending for hundreds of meters, coming down from the high skies right in front of the Sect Master’s Grand Hall of Yunhua Sect.

“We welcome Elder Hong Meng!”

Yunhua Zhenren led the others to step aside.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands, Elder Hong Meng took out a golden star crest and used a spell to affix it behind the hall’s plaque. Even the three characters for “Yunhua Sect” glittered resplendently because of it.

The star-awarding ceremony was officially complete!

Yunhua Sect had become a true Star-Level Force.

All rose to their feet to offer congratulations and presented the gifts they had prepared in advance.

With this move, not only had Yunhua Sect recouped all the spirit stones spent on entertaining guests, but the sect also made a small profit.

“Congratulations to Yunhua Sect on becoming a brand-new Star-Level Sect, everyone enjoy your food and drinks,” Elder Hong Meng greeted the guests with a gesture and took a seat at the round table at the very front.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please proceed to the Sect Master’s table,” invited Yunhua Zhenren, calling over the City Lord of Sanyuan City, Qingyun Zhenren, and sect leaders of other star-level sects, and brought Ye Feng along as well.

Including Elder Hong Meng, there were a total of ten people sitting at the Sect Master’s round table.

“Let the banquet begin!”

Yunhua Sect’s Grand Elder yelled, and the sect’s kitchen began serving dishes such as fish-flavored shredded pork, stir-fried mushrooms, boiled live fish, and braised pork…

The variety was plentiful, and the dishes were full of color, aroma, and flavor!

At their seats.

Ye Feng was eating a piece of braised pork and noticed that Qingyun Zhenren across from him was constantly staring at him, with one hand occasionally rubbing the Qingyun Sword, seemingly eager to act.

Seeing this, Ye Feng’s gaze sharpened.

It looked like Qingyun Zhenren wanted to make a move!

“Our Yunhua Sect was able to ascend to a Star-Level Sect thanks to Sect Master Ye’s assistance in revitalizing the spirit vein. Let’s toast to him!” cheered Yunhua Zhenren, raising his glass, and all sect leaders, except for Qingyun Zhenren, joined in the toast.

Elder Hong Meng looked at Ye Feng and transmitted her voice, “Sect Master Ye, I was delayed due to an urgent matter earlier and couldn’t meet you at the Myriad Islands Alliance. I hope everything went smoothly for you afterward?”

Ye Feng nodded to indicate that it did.

At the banquet.

The disciples from the various sects stepped out of their seats for good luck, sparring with disciples from other sects, and the sounds of cheering were incessant.

“The disciples of the Hundred Artifacts Sect truly are wealthy, managing to activate three Low-Grade Spiritual Artifacts at the same time, leaving the disciples of Qingyun Sect scrambling to find their teeth.”

“Your disciples from Liuyun Sect aren’t bad either, whipping out ten Low-Grade Talismans at once, facing three opponents alone. Quite lavish indeed!”

“I think the ones from Spirit Beast Sect are the truly fierce ones, with one person controlling five High-Rank Demon Soldier Level spirit beasts; the opponent gave up without even fighting.”

Above at the Sect Masters’ table, the seated sect leaders watched the sparring on the field and laughed heartily.

Ye Feng followed the fluctuations of battle and caught sight of Xie Jiaren sitting at her seat, surrounded by five High-Rank Demon Soldier Level spirit beasts, provocatively crooking her finger at disciples from other sects.

However, faced with Xie Jiaren’s overwhelming power, most of those in the Qi Refining Realm stood no chance against her.

After all, those were five spirit beasts!

Aside from Huo Yunjie, Mo Ying, Long Tianxing, and other genius-level cultivators with strong combat abilities in their tier, few could prevail over her.

“My granddaughter is too mischievous; next time, I definitely cannot allow her to take so many spirit beasts out for fun,” declared the Spirit Beast Sect Master, feigning severity but with pride evident in his eyes.

At their seats.

Qingyun Zhenren had a gloomy expression, clenching both fists, staring at the other sect leaders who were chatting enthusiastically and watching Ye Feng laughing and talking with Elder Hong Meng, feeling as if he was left out in the cold, his teeth shivering with fury.

“It’s maddening!”

Qingyun Zhenren gripped the Qingyun Sword tightly.

He felt his aura surging unstoppably; the bottleneck of the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Realm that had trapped him for many years suddenly weakened under the impact of his compounded fury.

His eyes slowly turned bloodshot.

Boom!

A powerful aura suddenly exploded, shaking the entire Yunhua Peak and flipping over the entire table at the Sect Master’s seat, scattering the fine wines and dishes onto the ground.
