Chapter 222 – Yellow Springs River! Parting Ways!

After completing all this, Ye Sheng stood up tall. He activated his Breathing Technique, and the energy resonance of his Heavenly Manifestation caused the Aura Radiance outside his body to instantly reach the ‘High Tier Peak’ level, with a hint of black within the crimson red radiance.

Boom!

Immediately after, the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit within Ye Sheng’s body resonated in unison.

In just an instant, Ye Sheng became extremely terrifying. The crimson red Aura Radiance belonging to the High Tier Peak completely receded, entirely replaced by a deep black radiance.

For a moment, Ye Sheng seemed to transform into a massive black hole, suspended in the underground space, devouring all surrounding light.

The powerful aura belonging to the ‘Ultimate Realm’ caused the entire underground space to tremble.

“With this complete Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit, I can easily enter the Ultimate Realm! Excellent!” Ye Sheng smiled slightly, feeling very satisfied.

Previously, entering the ‘Ultimate Realm’ required the cooperation of the Nightmare Ghost Realm.

Once separated from the Nightmare Ghost Realm, he would fall from the ‘Ultimate Realm’ and revert to ‘High Tier Peak’.

But now, as long as Ye Sheng wished, he could enter the Ultimate Realm at any time.

He had officially become an Expert in this Domain.

“This trip to the Emperor’s Tomb has been immensely rewarding!” Ye Sheng sighed. Not only did he obtain the complete Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit, but he also acquired an ‘Innate Emperor Embryo’ possessing the Combat Power of a 9th Revolution Ghost Emperor.

This harvest was undeniably enormous!

Greater than any opportunity he had ever encountered before!

“It’s time to leave now.” Ye Sheng looked up, calculating the time. He had already been in the Emperor’s Tomb for over two months.

Such a long time—Fengdu University had probably already started its semester.

“I wonder who got admitted?”

“Xu Xingchen? Shangguan Jianyun? And what about Shangguan Ying? Were they admitted to Fengdu University?”

Ye Sheng’s eyes flickered, then he shook his head with a wry smile. Why was he thinking about this?

It was better to hurry and leave, enter Fengdu University as soon as possible to quickly Increase his realm, so that he could fully master the ‘Innate Emperor Embryo’ sooner!

That was the real priority!

Ye Sheng could foresee that when he one day completely mastered the ‘Innate Emperor Embryo’, with a full ten Law Divine Chains, he would leap to become an extremely terrifying existence within the Federation!

Surpassing ordinary 9th Revolution Ghost Emperors.

Ye Sheng flipped his palm, and a blood-red crystal appeared in his hand.

This was given to him by the Reincarnation Sage. He only needed to crush it to leave the Emperor’s Tomb.

Crack!

The blood-red crystal shattered in Ye Sheng’s palm, and a spatial rift quickly opened before him.

Without hesitation, Ye Sheng stepped into it.

…

One week later.

A massive ghost ship, hundreds of meters long, sailed upon a Yellow Springs River.

This river stretched for countless miles, devoid of any life, silent and still. Yet, one could see eerie red spider lilies, crimson as blood, blooming on both banks.

“Everyone, don’t get too close to the railing. Be careful not to fall into the Yellow Springs Ghost River—no one can save you then,” a tour guide wearing a baseball cap reminded the members of the tour group behind him while holding a small flag, simultaneously providing an introduction.

“Guide, is this the famous Yellow Springs Ghost River?” someone asked.

The guide nodded. “That’s right. This river leads to the Fengdu Ghost Realm. Only this kind of ferry can reach it; even a Ghost King cannot cross it.”

“Aside from the spider lilies being somewhat pretty, there’s nothing else special about it!”

The tour group members followed behind the guide, looking around at the Yellow Springs River, which was bare except for the bright red spider lilies, and couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed.

Dozens of people from the tour group strolled on the deck.

Not far away, a young man with a tall and slender figure, dressed in casual sportswear, leaned alone against the railing. He had earphones in his ears, his eyes closed as he listened to music, completely at ease.

“Friend, don’t lean against the railing—it’s dangerous!” the passing guide kindly reminded him. She had seen many people accidentally fall into the Yellow Springs River and never come out again.

No one dared to go in to save them either. This was the Yellow Springs River; knowing how to swim was useless.

Hearing the voice, the young man opened his eyes. He smiled, and his already handsome face looked especially radiant when he did, giving off a strong sense of warmth.

Seeing this, the female guide couldn’t help but feel momentarily dazed.

“Thank you!” The young man stood up, moved away from the railing, and expressed his gratitude.

The female guide blushed slightly, nodded at the young man, and hurriedly led the tour group away. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn’t be able to resist stealing a few more glances at him.

After the tour group left, the young man stood on the deck with his hands in his pockets, gazing into the distance at the vast, deathly silent Yellow Springs Ghost River.

“I wonder when we’ll finally arrive?” A trace of helplessness appeared on Ye Sheng’s face.

The young man was none other than Ye Sheng, who was on his way to the Fengdu Ghost Realm.

The renowned Fengdu University was located within the Fengdu Ghost Realm.

And the Fengdu Ghost Realm existed as its own separate world, requiring one to cross the Yellow Springs River to reach it.

Three days ago, Ye Sheng had boarded this ferry.

But the Yellow Springs River was too long, and the ferry moved at an incredibly slow pace. It had already been drifting along the Yellow Springs River for three days.

Additionally.

After leaving the Emperor’s Tomb that day, Ye Sheng had returned to Ghost Mountain City.

He had no choice—his ‘admission letter’ to Fengdu University had been delivered to Ghost Mountain City and was in the hands of City Lord Lan Tingxu.

To report to Fengdu University, he needed the admission letter, so he had no choice but to make the trip back.

When Lan Tingxu learned that Ye Sheng was returning, he was overjoyed and announced the news to the entire city.

As a result, on the day Ye Sheng returned, it caused a stir in Ghost Mountain City!

Countless people crowded the city walls, eagerly waiting there early on, just to catch a glimpse of Ye Sheng’s appearance.

Unfortunately, Ye Sheng slipped into the city quietly without alerting anyone. He didn’t like such scenes—they were too exaggerated.

Afterward, he met with Lan Tingxu.

Lan Tingxu was extremely courteous, even to the point of being somewhat obsequious.

He deeply understood that Ye Sheng’s future was limitless. If he could latch onto this powerful connection, his career would shine brightly.

Half a day later, Ye Sheng left the City Lord’s residence. Lan Tingxu personally escorted him out and even accompanied him for quite a distance.

Then, after obtaining the admission letter, Ye Sheng immediately set off on the journey to the Fengdu Ghost Realm without delay.

“I never expected that both Xu Xingchen and Shangguan Jianyun were admitted to Fengdu University!” On the deck, with a gentle breeze blowing past, Ye Sheng smiled faintly.

From Lan Tingxu, he had learned that both Xu Xingchen and Shangguan Jianyun had received admission letters from Fengdu University one after another.

This delighted the Xu Family and the Shangguan Family immensely—it was a matter of bringing honor to their ancestors.

To celebrate, they held grand banquets for three days, welcoming all guests, creating quite a lively scene.

“Those two guys are probably already at Fengdu University by now, right?” Ye Sheng gazed toward the distant end of the Yellow Springs River.

It is also worth mentioning that Tang Hongyi actually came to Ghost Mountain City wanting to see him.

Unfortunately, Ye Sheng had entered the Emperor’s Tomb, so naturally she could not meet him.

She did not leave until the final day, when she absolutely had to report to Fengdu University.

And… regrettably, Shangguan Ying was not admitted to Fengdu University!

But the outcome was not bad either—she chose to enroll in a prestigious military academy in the capital.

And it was a special admission!

With her talent, it is believed that her performance at this prestigious military academy will be far from poor, and her future achievements will be equally limitless.

Although Ye Sheng felt regretful about this, he knew that the two of them would definitely meet again in the future.

By that time, Shangguan Ying would likely already be in the military world.

And… some classmates who persisted until the third round of the entrance exams, such as Jiang Hao and Han Liang, although not admitted to Fengdu University, also achieved satisfactory results.

“We will surely meet again someday!” Ye Sheng said to himself.

Everyone went their separate ways, and their lives successively reached turning points.

As for his future, it would begin at Fengdu University—a starting point that was more than just a step higher!
