972: Chapter 965: I Will Co Back in One Year 972: Chapter 965: I Will Co Back in One Year Under Ouyang Ming’s explanation, Ye Chenfeng ca to understand the situation.
In the Ancient Martial World, every two hundred years, the Barrier Gate would close once, requiring two years of ti before it could be reopened.
Moreover, the ancient manuscript Ouyang Ming had obtained not only recorded the affairs of past Ancient Martial Punishers, but it also contained many secrets.
From that manuscript, Ouyang Ming learned that beneath the Land of Trial, in this space, there was another Barrier Gate—one that even his brother Ouyang Bai and the previous Ancient Martial Punisher were unaware of.
When Ouyang Ming initially showed the manuscript to Ouyang Bai, Ouyang Bai did not ticulously read it.
The next day, Ouyang Bai, along with the last Ancient Martial Punisher, sought out Ouyang Ming.
Knowing he could not keep the manuscript, Ouyang Ming destroyed it then and there.
Ouyang Ming, by chance, ended up imprisoned in this space.
He had secretly tried multiple tis to open the Barrier Gate within, but unfortunately, with his limbs chained, even if he managed to open the Barrier Gate, he could not leave this place.
After briefly recounting the situation, Ouyang Ming bent over and with all his might flipped over a brick on the ground, imdiately revealing a basketball-sized green crystal.
He said, “Chenfeng, the ground of this space is filled with these green crystals.
After years of study, I’ve found that it is these green crystals that sustain the Barrier Gate.
I believe that the Barrier Gate in the other location in the Ancient Martial World must also have these green crystals.”
“Every two hundred years, these green crystals need to regather their energy, which is why the Barrier Gate temporarily closes.
The Barrier Gate here and the other Barrier Gate are actually interconnected, so I’ve deduced that the other Barrier Gate must have also closed by now, and the one here won’t last much longer either.”
“These are all things that I read in the manuscript.
According to the records, the Barrier Gate at the other location needs two years to reopen, while this secret Barrier Gate only needs one year.”
Ouyang Ming pointed to the stone wall on his left, saying, “Chenfeng, that is the location of the Barrier Gate.
Just channel the power within your body into it, and the Barrier Gate will naturally appear before you.
You must hurry and leave!
Otherwise, without food and water, you too will be trapped to death here.”
“After one year, once this Barrier Gate reopens, it will not close again for the next two hundred years.
By then, you should be strong enough to break through the collapsed valley above in a short ti.
Even if you can’t break through quickly, it won’t matter because you can take your ti.
You don’t need to worry about being trapped here anymore.”
“Chenfeng, hurry up and go!
Hurry up and go!
As your ntor, having you as a disciple before my death truly fills with joy…
very…”
Chained at his limbs, Ouyang Ming’s voice suddenly ceased as his lifeforce drained away completely.
Seeing Ouyang Ming dead, Ye Chenfeng felt an indescribable sorrow.
He tried to break the chains binding Ouyang Ming but found it impossible with his current strength.
In the end, Ye Chenfeng could only sincerely kowtow three tis to the now deceased Ouyang Ming, who had passed all his cultivation onto Ye Chenfeng, thereby earning Ye Chenfeng’s utmost respect.
After standing up from the ground, Ye Chenfeng said to himself, “Master, I don’t have your abilities to give you a proper burial now, but after one year, I will surely lay you to rest.”
As Ouyang Ming had indicated, Ye Chenfeng could no longer delay.
Who knew when the Barrier Gate in this space might close?
Ye Chenfeng couldn’t afford to linger in this place.
He wasn’t worried about Xia Zining and others in top powers positions.
After all, with the death of the Ancient Martial Punisher, and with his Wing Guard Team mbers and the people of Red Fla Valley, plus the activation of Heaven’s Illusionary Formation, surely those from Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall wouldn’t be able to harm Xia Zining and others.
Furthermore, Ye Chenfeng would return in a year.
He believed that no significant troubles would occur within this year.
Stepping in front of the stone wall on Ouyang Ming’s left, Ye Chenfeng placed his right hand on the wall, and through his palm, he poured Soul Force into the stone wall.
The stone wall before him gradually beca hazy, eventually turning into a two-tre high, one-tre wide white light screen.
This light screen was incredibly unstable, sotis brightening, sotis dimming.
Ye Chenfeng knew that the Barrier Gate here also wouldn’t hold much longer.
Staying in this space only ant starvation or dehydration, as with his current strength, it would be impossible to break through the collapsed valley above in one or two days.
Finally, after one last look at Ouyang Ming’s body, Ye Chenfeng stepped into the light screen.
When Ye Chenfeng erged from the light screen, the scenery before his eyes transford, and he found himself in a dimly lit cave.
After leaving the cave, his view abruptly widened; the cave he had left was positioned halfway up the mountainside.
Taking a deep breath, he gazed at the sun setting in the west, and knew that he must have returned to the Secular World.
When Ye Chenfeng returned to the valley and tried to channel his Soul Force into the place where the Barrier’s door was located, he discovered that no matter how he channeled his Soul Force, the stone wall in front of him showed no response— the door to the Barrier must have temporarily been sealed.
This realization sent shivers down Ye Chenfeng’s spine, as he had nearly been trapped in the space beneath the Land of Trial.
“Ancient Martial World, I, Ye Chenfeng, shall return after a year,” Ye Chenfeng muttered before his figure quickly left the cave.
…
Three days had passed since the earth-shattering battle between Ye Chenfeng and Ouyang Bai.
In these three days, the top forces had completely boiled over with excitent.
The deeds of Ye Chenfeng had spread throughout the entire Ancient Martial World, and for a ti, he truly beca the deserved legendary figure within it.
Of course, the news that the Barrier’s door had been sealed also spread throughout the Ancient Martial World during those three days, but the older generation knew that the closure of the Barrier’s door was only temporary, so there was no real cause for concern among the people of the Ancient Martial World.
In the forces of power, Tianxing City, within the City Lord’s Mansion.
Outside Tianxing City, the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation had been completely activated, enshrouding the entire area in a thick mist.
In the grand hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Everyone present was silent, especially Xia Zining, Sun Hengfei, and Sun Xiaoli who had not eaten or slept for three days and nights.
The City Lord Zhao Wukong’s two daughters, Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan, wore worried frowns, their faces filled with sadness, harboring strong affections for Ye Chenfeng in their hearts.
“Cough cough!”
The Valley Master of Red Fla Valley, Lie Yan, softly coughed twice before saying, “Now that the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation has been activated, we must note that the materials required to maintain it are extrely substantial.
Based on the reserves of Tianxing City, the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation can be maintained for at most half a year.
During this half-year, we should not run into any danger, so we must strive to improve our strength during this ti.”
After summarizing the current situation, Lie Yan’s gaze swept over Sun Boyi and Xia Zining with a tinge of sorrow, saying, “Everyone, I know you are very grieved because of what happened to little brother Ye, but he sacrificed himself for our sake.
In your current state, are you truly honoring his mory?
You should be invigorated and spirited instead.”
Biting her red lip, Xia Zining suddenly stood up from her chair and said, “I will work hard on my cultivation, but I believe that Chenfeng is not dead.” With that, she left the grand hall.
“I also refuse to believe that the kid Chenfeng is dead.
I must go and work hard on my cultivation so that the next ti I see him, I won’t find that he’s left behind by leagues,” Sun Hengfei said as he too exited the grand hall.
Following that, Sun Xiaoli, Zhao Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yuanyuan, and other young people all expressed their disbelief that Ye Chenfeng could have died like this, each leaving the grand hall to dedicate themselves to their training.
They all knew, deep down, the likelihood of Ye Chenfeng’s survival was slim, but they simply could not accept this reality.
