Chapter 215: with translation of chapter title

……

In this moment, over at the Tyrant Heaven Immortal Kingdom, Feng Qingyang, riding the Ink Jade Qilin, had already flown ten thousand li.

"Right, is your Night Sword Sect located in the Immortal Wave Continent?"

"Yes, senior, my Night Sword Sect is situated within the Yu Ming Immortal Kingdom of the Immortal Wave Continent."

"Hiss! My head is hurting again!"

On the massive Ink Jade Qilin, Ye Chen was talking when suddenly his head split with pain, his brows knotted tight, and he kept rubbing it with his hand.

!

"He couldn't be trying to unseal his cultivation, could he!"

"When the Immortal Venerable's cultivation returns, he'll directly burst open the twelve heavenly realms of the lower heavy heaven!"

Feng Qingyang was secretly startled, but he kept his composure and probed, asking, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Ye Chen couldn't speak for a moment, only after his head ached for a quarter of an hour did he ease.

Yet he showed no weakness at all; his whole being was spirited and vibrant.

"Senior, I'm fine; this is just an old ailment."

"It used to happen often before, but lately it's become increasingly frequent."

Feng Qingyang, seeing this, glanced at him curiously and said, "Glad to hear it's nothing."

But he was puzzled in his heart: an old ailment? To suffer such splitting headache for a long while and yet feel no weakness at all?

Wrong! What do you think, sir?

His cultivation actually broke through!

The moment Feng Qingyang looked over, he sensed the change in Ye Chen's cultivation.

In just that short time, he leapt two minor realms straight to the peak of the Half‑Immortal stage?

Can he even play like this???

Please let our sect also frequently experience this kind of pain.

【"My lord, it's not impossible……"】

Talkative.

Ye Chen saw the senior staring at him, felt his increased cultivation, and immediately realized his secret had been seen through by the senior.

He gave a bitter smile and said, "Senior, please excuse my embarrassment; this is just an old ailment that often flares up, though lately I don't know why it's become more frequent."

Feng Qingyang: Are you pouring out your pain, or just showing off……

"After your head hurts, your cultivation increases; any other symptoms?"

Could toe pain increase aptitude? Arm pain boost defense? Hip pain increase perception, kun……

Yes.

After struggling with his thoughts, Ye Chen affirmed.

Since his secret was already exposed, he simply laid his cards on the table.

The senior even knows his heavenly secrets inside out, so there's no need to hide anything.

"After my headache subsides, my cultivation increases, and during this period fragments of memory flash through my mind."

"However, these memory fragments are extremely obscure; after they pass, I can't recall them no matter how I try."

"It's really strange; I just can't figure it out."

After Feng Qingyang turned his words over in his mind, he understood the reason.

It seems his Immortal Venerable's cultivation and memories are gradually recovering.

Lately it's been happening more often; could it be……

"By the way, senior, speaking of the Yu Ming Immortal Kingdom, something big has happened recently—the Weak Water Secret Realm has opened; did you also send disciples from your sect to go there?"

"There's supposedly a true immortal's inheritance inside!"

Just as Feng Qingyang was pondering the crucial point, Ye Chen's voice from beside interrupted him.

"Weak Water Secret Realm? Yes."

"So the Weak Water Secret Realm does contain a true immortal's inheritance."

"This is the first time he's heard of it; sending disciples there was merely to complete a task."

【"Ding, trigger a side quest: go to the Weak Water Secret Realm, subdue the Cold Moon True Immortal; completion yields rewards."】

【"Cold Moon True Immortal: a true immortal realm powerhouse from the Azure Ancient Heavenly Domain tens of millions of years ago, who suffered grave injuries in the Heavenly Domain War, irreversible,"】

【"She then transformed her daoist sanctuary's small world into a secret realm, yet a trace of heroic spirit soul remains within; please, host, go subdue it—failure incurs no penalty."】

"Huh?"

"Two secret realm side quests running at once? This is the first time it's been triggered."

……

By the Weak Water River, everyone continued to wait.

Given the lessons of those few big suckers, nobody is foolish enough to come out and try their luck again.

Because they were so stupid they've already died; their graves are still in decent shape.

"Why hasn't the ferryman arrived yet? He should be here by now!"

"What do you know? It's all about fate; even if he comes, you might not get a turn."

"You…… that actually makes sense."

Not far from the riverbank, Shi Hao and the others sat leisurely.

It's rare to relax like this now; once we enter the unknown secret realm, who knows what will happen.

"Junior Brother, how is your sword dao coming along?"

Hehe, Senior Brother, this past year I've been running between the Spacetime Tower and the Sword Edge, my Sword Dao has already reached the third realm.

And my Azure Lotus Sword Body, after undergoing the baptism of the Immortal Spring, seems to have actually broken through to the Azure Lotus Immortal Sword Body, Senior Brother, Junior Sister, you two should be the same, right?

Hearing that, Shi Hao and Hua Qingyu smiled slightly and gave the answer.

They were the same as well—their Supreme Immortal Body and Phoenix Immortal Body had each already been upgraded.

Two Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, your talent is truly heaven-defying; no wonder you can become the Sect Master's personal disciples.

Yun Lan spoke up from the side, he recalled when he first met the senior brothers a year ago.

They had only just barely broken through to the Saint Realm, and now, in just a short year, they've caught up.

Of course, a large part of the credit goes to the Spacetime Tower.

But even with the Spacetime Tower's support, without talent, comprehension, and perseverance, wouldn't it still be in vain?

No, no, just a bit better; Yun Lan Junior Brother, your talent is also strong—you've already entered the sect's ranks, keep pushing, strive to go further.

Upon hearing that, Yun Lan nodded firmly, 'Senior Brother is right!' 'Strive!'

Has the Ferryman not appeared yet? Or are we just not fated to meet?

Yun Lan looked up at the sunlight above and muttered to himself.

What Ferryman? Junior Brother, explain in detail.

Shi Hao and the two others gathered upon hearing that; they really knew too little about the Weak Water Secret Realm.

It's the person who brings us into the secret realm; it's said that only those with affinity can enter, and a mysterious person who rows a boat will appear to ferry us across the river.

This mysterious person has appeared since the Weak Water Secret Realm was first opened.

No one knows who he is; if you ask him, he'll only say, 'Those with affinity may cross the Weak Water; the ferryboat carries passengers.'

So everyone calls him the Ferryman; in fact, many suspect he was arranged by that True Immortal.

Yun Lan kept talking on his own, telling everything he knew, not noticing at all the changing expressions of the three senior brothers and sisters beside him.

Yun Lan... Junior Brother, the Ferryman you're talking about couldn't be him, could it!
