Chapter 69

At this moment, Yefeng thought about how he had once stumbled into the depths of the Great Wasteland by chance, where there were ancient villages and powerful, mystical sacrificial spirits.

"Exactly, I should enter this Cloudsky Wilderness and see if I can find any heavenly treasures," Yefeng thought to himself.

The Creation Divine Art is a unique and unparalleled legacy, but the cultivation path requires a vast amount of energy to support it.

This means that every time Yefeng breaks through and advances, it is much more difficult for him than for ordinary people, and the amount of energy required is also enormous.

However, once Yefeng breaks through, he will gain combat power that is many times stronger than that of cultivators of the same level.

Yefeng was not anxious about the vast amount of energy required for the Creation Divine Art. He knew that the more difficult the breakthrough, the more solid his martial foundation would be.

His future achievements would also be higher.

This is also why his father, Emperor Ye Qing, who was born a mere mortal, ultimately defeated all his enemies and achieved the position of Divine Emperor, unifying the chaotic Spirit World.

"Young man, it's best to follow a large family caravan that travels through the Cloudsky Wilderness. Otherwise, you might easily get lost in the wilderness," an old man beside Yefeng said, reminding him after learning that Yefeng intended to enter the Cloudsky Wilderness.

Yefeng nodded and bowed to the old man, saying, "Thank you, sir."

It was his first time heading to the Sword Sect, and he indeed needed to cross the Cloudsky Wilderness outside the small town, where it was easy to get lost.

Because once you get lost in the Great Wasteland, it could be disastrous, and you might end up lost forever in the vast wilderness.

Yefeng left the teahouse and walked toward the trading market in the center of the small town.

That was where the caravans of major merchant families were stationed.

Yefeng planned to see if any merchant family caravans were leaving the small town and traveling through the Cloudsky Wilderness in the next few days.

When Yefeng arrived at the large trading market, he immediately saw several merchant caravans that seemed to be preparing to set off, recruiting caravan guards.

The Cloudsky Wilderness is not an ordinary mountain range; it is often frequented by ferocious and strange beasts from the depths of the Great Wasteland, making the journey extremely dangerous.

Therefore, many merchant caravans try to recruit as many powerful guards as possible to escort the entire caravan.

"Perfect, I can apply to be a guard for these caravans. On one hand, I can train, and on the other hand, I can follow the caravan without getting lost," Yefeng thought to himself as he quickly walked toward one of the merchant family caravans in the market.

After entering the market, Yefeng went directly to the first caravan.

After careful inquiry, he learned that this caravan belonged to the Shen family from Chiyang City, a small city on the outskirts of the Sword Sect region in the Cloudsky Wilderness.

The Shen family is a prominent and wealthy merchant family in Chiyang City.

After completing their business in the heart of the Great Yan Dynasty, they were preparing to cross the Cloudsky Wilderness and return to Chiyang City.

Yefeng was very pleased to hear this news.

He went directly to the place where the Shen family caravan was recruiting guards and stated his intentions.

"What? You want to apply to be a guard for our Shen family caravan?"

The person receiving Yefeng was a member of the Shen family caravan.

His name was Shen Wu, and he was in his forties or fifties.

Shen Wu carefully examined Yefeng and was skeptical about the strength of the young man in white before him.

Because this young man was really too young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he might just be trying to join the caravan to freeload.

However, Shen Wu had been out in the world for many years and did not show any contempt on the surface. He just followed the usual procedure.

He said to Yefeng, "To join our Shen family caravan, you must have sufficient strength. If you can shatter this iron post with one palm, it means you are qualified."

As he spoke, Shen Wu pointed to a row of iron posts.

These iron posts were not made of solid iron but were wooden figures coated with a thick layer of molten iron.

Although they were not solid iron posts, shattering one with a single palm was extremely difficult.

Yefeng looked over and saw that many of the iron posts in the row had already been shattered into pieces.

Clearly, many people had already passed the Shen family's guard test.

The Shen family, being a wealthy merchant family, was very generous.

Therefore, many strong individuals in the small town, including mercenaries, wandering warriors, and experts from major families, were very willing to join the guard teams of large caravans like the Shen family caravan.

Because the rewards from such escort missions were enough for many mercenaries to live comfortably for a year or more.

However, Yefeng was not interested in the commission; he just wanted to follow the caravan through the entire Cloudsky Wilderness to reach the Sword Sect region.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Yefeng's eyes flashed, and he directly struck out with a palm, sending a powerful gust of wind.

"Crack!"

The iron post in front of him was instantly shattered into pieces.

"Such powerful strength!"

Many mercenaries nearby looked over, their eyes filled with surprise.

These mercenaries had already passed the test and joined the Shen family caravan.

When Yefeng came to apply for the guard position, they did not pay much attention to the seemingly ordinary young man in white.

But Yefeng's light and effortless palm strike shattered the incredibly sturdy iron post.

This kind of strength was truly terrifying.

At this moment, many mercenaries looked at Yefeng with a sense of shock.

They lived on the edge, and their senses were much more acute than those of ordinary people.

When Yefeng casually struck out, these mercenaries instantly felt a bone-chilling sense of impending death.

That feeling was like a ferocious beast suddenly opening its eyes and then closing them again.

It caused a momentary heartache!

With this thought, many mercenaries stood up and came to Yefeng.

"Everyone, since you have joined our Shen family caravan, don't cause any trouble."

The man in charge of the test, Shen Wu, saw a group of mercenaries surrounding Yefeng and hurriedly spoke, somewhat anxiously.

He knew that these mercenaries were not good people and might see Yefeng as a young and naive newcomer, wanting to extort and teach him a lesson.

But the next moment, what made Shen Wu speechless was that the group of ferocious mercenaries, upon reaching Yefeng, actually showed gentle and refined smiles, even bowing to Yefeng in a polite manner.

One could imagine the bizarre and comical scene of a group of burly mercenaries mimicking the manners of scholars, bowing to Yefeng.

At least, that was how Shen Wu saw it.
