Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 528 - 523: Emperor’s Sky-Flipping Seal
Ye Feng took a deep breath; suddenly, there was movement within his body. The Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll in the Sea of Consciousness of the Heavenly Heart Palace lit up, and strands of Source of Luck Strength flowed out from it.
Ye Feng was overjoyed, unconcerned with Mu Tian and everyone else's stares; he sat down cross-legged right where he was.
"Sima Zhantian, Xiao Chuanqi, Leng Wuming, Shadow, protect me. I've had a revelation and need to cultivate for a while!"
Ye Feng spoke quickly, closing his eyes and entering a Cultivation State.
"Protect our lord!"
Xiao Chuanqi immediately yelled, the four Vajras swiftly moved around, encircling Ye Feng and starting to take on a defensive posture, extremely vigilant.
Mu Tian was dumbfounded, feeling a surge of anger, and spoke irritably, "You actually use me to temper your Flesh Body, and now you're cultivating in front of me? Are you even human?!"
"Taking advantage of me right in front of my eyes and acting smug, I'll chop you down!"
Mu Tian said and then wanted to rush forward; Ye Feng was really provoking him too much - how could anyone bear it? Even if Ye Feng had great talent, this was not the way to show off, was it?
The people around were also suffering from facial twitches. To be honest, Ye Feng's behavior was too infuriating - no, it was simply inhuman.
However, as soon as Mu Tian made a move, Xiao Chuanqi summoned the Immortal Sword of Mount Shu within his body. His body radiated Sword Qi that soared to the sky, sharp and intimidating. Next to him, Sima Zhantian likewise summoned the Immortal Blade of the Tang Sect from within his body, with Blade Qi overflowing.
"Dare to take one more step forward, and there shall be no mercy!"
Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian both shouted in unison, with Leng Wuming and Shadow also releasing their auras, assuming a battle stance.
They were still quite wary of Mu Tian after all; anyone who could contend with their lord in physical strength was certainly no joke. Therefore, they gave their full effort from the start.
Mu Tian was momentarily stunned by the sight of the Immortal Swords in the hands of Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, frowning slightly. He recognized the Immortal Sword of Mount Shu and the Immortal Blade of the Tang Sect but didn't expect them to be fused with these two men.
Though he didn't take the strength of the two seriously, facing the four of them together wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Indeed, there were many capable people around Ye Feng!
Mu Tian sighed inwardly but showed a smile, "Don't worry so much, everyone. I was just joking. There's no need to make a big deal out of this."
Mu Tian chuckled dryly and returned to his original spot, sitting down to restore his strength. However, his gaze remained fixed on Ye Feng, his expression complex.
Although Mu Tian said this, Xiao Chuanqi and the others were still very wary of him, all keeping an eye on him.
"Everyone, stay on guard. This sly little man might suddenly make a move and threaten our lord's safety," Xiao Chuanqi warned cautiously.
Sima Zhantian said, "Yes, let's maintain this state and keep an eye on him. If he dares to move, we'll take him down immediately!"
Mu Tian was speechless, how could he possibly lower himself to do such a thing?
Mu Tian couldn't be bothered to respond and closed his eyes to recover his strength as well.
A moment later, Mu Tian opened his eyes again; the strength in his body was restored, a sharp glint in his eye. Looking at Ye Feng still in cultivation, he smiled faintly, "I'm leaving first. Please tell Ye Feng for me."
"The Outer Battlefield isn't so simple. There are many more places he hasn't braved."
"I'm returning to the Outer Battlefield. Tell Ye Feng I'll be waiting for him inside. The next encounter won't be as simple as a contest of physical strength."
"Farewell, my dear Junior Brother Ye!"
Mu Tian laughed heartily, turned, and soared into the sky, vanishing into the air.
This speech left Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others stunned.
Xiao Chuanqi paused for a moment, then regained his composure, exclaiming in surprise, "What did that Mu Tian just say?"
"Our lord is his junior brother?!"
Xiao Chuanqi started to doubt if he had heard wrongly and looked towards Sima Zhantian.
Sima Zhantian was stunned too but soon spat out, "Bullshit, that Mu Tian - who does he think he is to call our lord 'Junior Brother'? Next time we see him, I'll beat him to death!"
Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian had actually encountered Mu Tian quite some time ago, but they weren't particularly clear about his relationship with their lord. Hearing this title now shocked them both; they couldn't believe it.
Shadow glanced at the muscular man and fell silent: "You can't beat him, anyway, so stop asking for trouble."
Soon she frowned again, "Is our lord really a junior brother?"
Her mind quickly returned to the Northwest Little Mountain Village. Could it be that Mu Tian and their lord indeed had some special relationship?
However, they didn't dwell on it too long and quietly waited for Ye Feng to finish cultivating.
At this moment, Ye Feng was still consolidating his Flesh Body Strength. Accompanied by the Origin Energy transmitted from the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll and having absorbed many Beast Cores and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on his way out of the Outer Battlefield, he now began to reap their benefits.
The Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints had already opened more than 2400 Acupoints. With this round of cultivation, Ye Feng opened several dozen more Acupoints, stepping directly into the realm of 2500 Acupoints!
Boom!
With 2500 Acupoints in operation, the Spirit Essence within his body was increasing more and more, nearly completing the transformation.
As per the old rule, every five hundred Acupoints would yield a corresponding Cultivation Technique. Just as Ye Feng contemplated this, a Cultivation Technique appeared in his mind.
Emperor's Sky-Flipping Seal!
Ye Feng was elated. This was a Seal Technique.
After familiarizing himself with the Cultivation Technique, Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes, stirred the energies within his body, and bellowed, "Emperor's Sky-Flipping Seal!"
Suddenly, the sky became overcast with dark clouds, as if a massive hole had been torn through them. The thunderclap rumbled through the heavens, lightning flashed, and the wind howled fiercely. A Great Golden Light Seal appeared from within the clouds, crashing down like a meteor.
Bang!
In an instant, the ground of the valley was smashed into an enormous crater by the Emperor's Sky-Flipping Seal, its formidable power causing the entire valley to tremble.
Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, who had long since retreated to a distance, along with the others, were dumbstruck, staring blankly at the huge hole in the ground, utterly shocked.
"Has our lord grasped yet another new cultivation technique!?"
Sima Zhantian was stunned. They had never seen this immensely powerful Great Golden Light Seal before.
"Worthy of our lord!"
Xiao Chuanqi exclaimed in admiration, even kneeling on one knee.
"Congratulations to our lord for advancing his power once more!"
"Congratulations to our lord!"
Sima Zhantian and Shadow also quickly knelt on one knee, with utmost sincerity.
Ye Feng, observing the power of the Emperor's Sky-Flipping Seal, couldn't help but be overjoyed, nodding his head in satisfaction as he descended from midair. He scanned his surroundings, only to notice Mu Tian's figure was nowhere to be seen, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Mu Tian?"
Xiao Chuanqi relayed to Ye Feng what Mu Tian had said just before he left, then added, "My lord, this Mu Tian is truly shameless, daring to call you 'Junior Brother.' Is he even worthy?"
Sima Zhantian also looked up, "My lord, please permit us to return to the Outer Battlefield now to settle the score with that Mu Tian."
Ye Feng's eyes reflected a complexity of emotions. So Mu Tian still remembered that he was his junior brother. After betraying him and disappearing without a trace, he hadn't expected to encounter him on the Outer Battlefield.
During this sparring session, actually, neither of them had used much of their real strength; even he could sense that Mu Tian was merely probing, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to a contest of physical strength.
"I and Mu Tian..."
Ye Feng furrowed his brows, wanting to say something but paused, deciding not to continue.

"Let's not talk about this for now; let's head back to the Northern Cloud Residence to rest."
Ye Feng didn't elaborate any further. His specific relationship with Mu Tian didn't need to be explained too much to Xiao Chuanqi and the others. Naturally, he would return to the Outer Battlefield, but there were arrangements he needed to make before going back.
"Yes!"
Ye Feng glanced at the group he had brought with him. The people from the Nine Great Sects and the Four Great Ancient Clans had already left, leaving only those he had selected earlier. However, many of them had been injured on the way back, clearly not qualified to continue their trials in the Outer Battlefield.
It was just as well; he thought of it as a way to sift through the talents.
Cao Yi, Boss Cao, and a member of the later generation of the Cao Family were still by Ye Feng's side, as well as Grand Corps Leader Gai Jiutian, on top of Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others. The entire group headed straight back to the Northern Cloud Residence.
Once back at the Northern Cloud Residence, Ye Feng settled everyone down and then made his way to the Utility Pavilion alone.
Inside a study room of the Utility Pavilion, Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming was having tea with Zhuge Wuming.
Zhuge Wuming spoke with a smile, "I wonder how the Northern King has fared in the Outer Battlefield so far. According to the timeline, he should have found Xuanyuan Hall by now, right?"
Zhao Gongming nodded, "Xuanyuan Hall has undergone many changes over the years, and it has always been the Lord of the Three Halls who has been in contact with us. We don't know much about the other details."
"With the protection of the Lord of the Three Halls, there should be no issues for the Northern King."
Zhuge Wuming fell into silence. Over the years, their contact with the Outer Battlefield was not frequent because of its complex conditions. They were not quite clear about the current situation there.
Just then, a guard rushed in.
"Northern King Ye Feng has arrived!"
Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming were taken aback – Ye Feng? Wasn't he in the Outer Battlefield? How could he possibly have returned by now, when only a few days had passed?
Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming were both somewhat flustered, but at that moment, a familiar figure had already walked in, exuding a mighty aura and an imperial presence – it was none other than Northern King Ye Feng.
The two quickly got to their feet and bowed to Ye Feng, "We greet the Northern King!"
Ye Feng also returned the greeting with a bow and said with a smile, "There's no need for such formalities, Lord Zhuge and the Grand Sect Leader, please take a seat and speak."
Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming exchanged a glance, the surprise apparent in their eyes. They were still puzzled as to why Ye Feng had returned so soon.
After taking a seat, Zhuge Wuming immediately asked, "Why have you come back so soon, my lord? Didn't you just enter the Outer Battlefield not long ago?"
Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming also looked toward Ye Feng, his face full of questions.
Ye Feng thought for a moment and then briefly recounted his experiences.
Both of them were infuriated after hearing his story.
"This is outrageous! How dare Li Benzhong engage in such nonsense, utterly disgraceful to the Utility Pavilion!" Zhuge Wuming exclaimed in anger. He hadn't expected Li Benzhong to cause such turmoil upon entering the Outer Battlefield, going as far as to sow discord in Xuanyuan Hall, creating friction between the Utility Pavilion affiliated Lord of the Three Halls and Ye Feng.
However, after their initial rage subsided, they were astonished. Ye Feng had defeated a Hall Master Level figure of Xuanyuan Hall almost as soon as he arrived. That was simply too powerful – after all, that was a Hall Master Level expert!
Ye Feng didn't dwell on this issue and instead continued in a grave tone, "Gentlemen, the situation in Xuanyuan Hall seems to differ from what you informed me."
Different?
Zhuge Wuming and Zhao Gongming were confused by Ye Feng's remark.
