Strongest Medical Saint

Those above the Immortal Sovereign are known as Immortal Venerables.

The so-called Half-Step Venerable is a cultivator who has one foot in the Immortal Venerable stage.

It can be said that between Immortal Sovereign and Immortal Venerable, there is a threshold that is almost impossible to cross. A large number of cultivators can only remain at the peak of Immortal Sovereign for their entire lives, utterly unable to step into the realm of the Immortal Venerable.

Once one steps from Immortal Sovereign to Immortal Venerable, a cultivator's abilities will increase by a hundred, or even hundreds of times.

The Immortal Venerable stage is divided from low to high into five minor stages: Initial Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, Peak, and Extreme Realm!

The Immortal Venerable stage has one more minor stage compared to the previous levels, which is the "Extreme Realm."

However, generally after breaking through to the Peak, one can attempt to challenge the realms above Immortal Venerable.

The Extreme Realm is just a minor stage in legend. It is said that after reaching the Extreme Realm in the Immortal Venerable stage, and then breaking through to the realm above Immortal Venerable, one can resonate with heaven and earth, producing unimaginable benefits.

Once, Shen Feng, during the Immortal Venerable stage, only reached the Peak and never entered the Extreme Realm. It must be known that the requirements to step into the Extreme Realm are extremely harsh and stringent.

Because after stepping into the Immortal Venerable stage, abilities can increase by a hundred or even hundreds of times, cultivators below the Immortal Venerable stage trying to defeat a strong contender of Immortal Venerable is nearly impossible.

Once, Shen Feng advanced into the Middle Stage of Immortal Sovereign, only then could he barely contend with a Half-Step Venerable. In the Immortal Realm Territory that he was in at that time, this had already caused immense shock!

One must know that an Immortal Venerable at the Initial Stage, even when facing a thousand cultivators at the peak of Immortal Sovereign, could remain undefeated.

In the Middle Realm, only upon stepping into the Immortal Venerable stage, can one be called a strong figure.

And a Half-Step Venerable can easily deal with twenty cultivators at the peak of Immortal Sovereign.

Having again walked the path of cultivation, Shen Feng's battle strength had climbed greatly. Now within his Dantian, there are two Ten-Colored Immortal Cores.

But his cultivation is after all only at the Middle Stage of Profound Immortal. To battle a strong contender of the Initial Stage of Immortal Venerable would be extremely forced.

However, now he was qualified to contend with a Half-Step Venerable. Previously, when he stepped into the Middle Stage of Immortal Sovereign, he could barely fight a Half-Step Venerable, and now his battle prowess had become exceedingly monstrous.

In the entire historical river of the Immortal Realm, there had been no cultivator who could at the Middle Stage of Profound Immortal possess the strength to fight a Half-Step Venerable.

At this moment,

In front of the residence of the Zhou Family in Flame Fallen City.

After the aura of the Half-Step Venerable spread out, naturally, Zhou Boyan, Luo Hengsong, and the others temporarily set aside their thoughts of dealing with Shen Feng.

Especially upon hearing the words of the Half-Step Venerable, Zhou Boyan and Zhou Jingguang instantly became exceedingly excited. They knew that today could be an opportunity for the Zhou Family to soar to great heights.

Even though Zhou Boyan had reached the Late Stage of Immortal Sovereign now, he had no idea when he'd be able to break through to the Peak of Immortal Sovereign, let alone become a Half-Step Venerable.

Perhaps he would never become a Half-Step Venerable in his lifetime.

In a big family like Flame Fallen City, almost none of their ancestors managed to become a Half-Step Venerable, at most they broke through to the Peak of Immortal Sovereign!

Zhou Boyan and Zhou Jingguang along with others all respectfully looked towards the direction of the incoming voice. Everyone present respectfully waited for the arrival of the Half-Step Venerable, without paying any further attention to Shen Feng.

And Zhou Xinyu stood beside Zhou Boyan and Zhou Jingguang, her face brimming with excitement. One must know that a Half-Step Venerable, to her, was already a high and unattainable figure, and now her sister might become a disciple of a Half-Step Venerable, which made her too emotional to contain herself.

Shen Feng's frown deepened. He had a feeling that the aura of this Half-Step Venerable was somewhat familiar.

The people present kept crowding towards the direction from which the Half-Step Venerable was arriving. They all wanted to show their faces before the Half-Step Venerable.

About two seconds later,

In the half-sky in front of the Zhou Family residence, space violently fluctuated, as a dark shadow slowly emerged.

When Shen Feng saw this silhouette, his heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the inner sect elder Zhao Qingyuan who had represented the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family to recruit disciples in the Lower Realm?

Back then, this old fellow's cultivation was suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Lower Realm, and he had nearly died at the hands of Shen Feng. He managed to escape that calamity by activating an Immortal Emperor's True Words and ultimately returned to the Middle Realm with half a heart intact.

Shen Feng had stayed in the Endless Space for about three months before he arrived in the Middle Realm, while Zhao Qingyuan had already returned much earlier.

As a top force in the Middle Realm, the Zhao Family naturally had no problem helping Zhao Qingyuan recover from his injuries!

Not long ago, Shen Feng broke through to the Condensing Immortal Stage, and a Ten-Colored Immortal Core condensed in his dantian, creating an unprecedented hundred Condensing Immortal pillars between heaven and earth. This almost alerted the entire powers of the Middle Realm, with major forces sending people out to find the cultivator who had broken through to the Condensing Immortal Stage.

Zhao Qingyuan was naturally dispatched by the Zhao Family. These days, he happened to be near Flame Fallen City. Today, when he saw the divine phenomena appear in the sky above the city, he hurried over. Anyone capable of causing such celestial phenomena would surely grow into an extraordinary figure, and becoming at least a sage, if not an emperor, in the future was almost assured.

As for Zhao Qingyuan, he knew that in his lifetime, he would at best break through to the Immortal Venerable Stage. If he could take under his wing a genius with excellent talent, his descendants would also be taken care of in the future.

After entering Flame Fallen City, he of course also heard that it was very likely that a Zhou Family disciple's breakthrough had caused the divine phenomena in the sky.

Now, Shen Feng still had two Ice Divine Beads in his dantian, but the Ice Divine Beads could only kill a cultivator at the peak of the Immortal Sovereign level in a second.

With his current cultivation and combat power, killing a Half-Step Venerable would probably require some effort.

He couldn't leave this place now. Once he left, Zhao Qingyuan would still find out he had arrived in the Middle Realm. If he found out from people like Zhou Xinyu that he had become the favorite of the heavens, things would probably get even more troublesome. He would be entering the sights of the major forces in the Middle Realm ahead of time, something he definitely didn't want to see, so he had to kill Zhao Qingyuan today.

Zhao Qingyuan, floating mid-air, had his eyes fixed on Zhou Boyan and the others, and did not notice Shen Feng immediately.

Just at this moment.

Yu Huilian, the Supreme Elder of the Yu Family, arrived at the Zhou Family's doorstep with Yu Wan.

Yu Wan's cultivation was at the Initial Stage of Profound Immortal, as she had come out of seclusion earlier than Zhou Xinyu and Zhou Ruixuan.

Seeing the Half-Step Venerable in the sky, Yu Huilian, holding Yu Wan, hurriedly paid respects to Zhao Qingyuan with utmost reverence.

In the Immortal Realm, strength is everything.

Perhaps Zhou Boyan was older than Zhao Qingyuan, but now he had to address him as "senior."

Zhou Boyan bowed repeatedly to Zhao Qingyuan in the sky, saying, "Senior, the divine phenomena that formed in the sky just now might have been created by one of the three people in Flame Fallen City."

"Among these three, two are disciples of our Zhou Family, while the other one is a disciple of the Yu Family from Flame Fallen City."

As he spoke, he turned to Yu Wan, who had just arrived, saying, "Senior, this is the disciple from the Yu Family."

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Qingyuan's gaze shifted to Yu Wan, his eyes shimmering with piercing light, as if they could penetrate everything.

Yu Wan, under Zhao Qingyuan's gaze, became rigid instantly, unable to even twitch.

Yu Huilian, standing beside Yu Wan, quickly spoke with great respect, "Senior, the divine phenomena probably did not originate from this disciple of our Yu Family. She did not undergo any major changes after breaking through to the Profound Immortal Stage."

With these words.

It was confirmed that the divine phenomena were caused by someone from the Zhou Family, which made Zhou Jingguang and Zhou Boyan even more excited.

After Zhao Qingyuan withdrew his gaze, Yu Wan was soaked in cold sweat, stepping back involuntarily. Suddenly, she saw Shen Feng standing at the very back and her face broke into an expression of immense joy. Unable to control her emotions, she blurted out, "You, you're still alive?"

As a result.

The gaze of Zhao Qingyuan in the sky couldn't help but glance over at Shen Feng. The previously calm Zhao Qingyuan suddenly became enraged and bellowed furiously, "Bastard, you actually made it to the Middle Realm?"
