Ning Ruoxue left decisively, showing no signs of hesitation. In that moment, Ye Feng felt a sense of emptiness within him. It was an indescribable emotion. From initially offending her to now being close friends, they had gone through quite a bit together. While they hadn't faced life and death together, the ups and downs they experienced were certainly memorable for both.
Some people say that feelings between individuals develop unintentionally, perhaps starting from something small and gradually accumulating until affection arises. Ye Feng was unsure about his feelings for Ning Ruoxue at that moment, but he vaguely sensed that if she were with another man, he would feel quite troubled.
However, he was not a man who easily displayed his emotions. After all, he didn't know what Ning Ruoxue's attitude was at that moment, so he wouldn't express his feelings lightly.
Leaving the Qiu Yang Secret Realm seemed quite easy and simple. In fact, Tianyi Daoist could open the exit of the Silver Moon Secret Realm, but he himself could not leave easily. Ye Feng had previously asked about this issue and received the same answer as Carefree Master: it was due to the presence of heavenly thunder above.
It was unclear whether Tianyi Daoist truly wished to leave, but Ye Feng knew that at this moment, he probably would not depart.
After finishing his cultivation, Leiting quickly left the Qiu Yang Secret Realm as well. Before parting, she specifically said goodbye to Ye Feng! This surprised Ye Feng; they weren't particularly good friends nor were they enemies—more like acquaintances. Moreover, Ye Feng knew that Leiting was quite ambitious and likely felt that the small Haotian City could not contain her! Ultimately, she would choose to venture towards more prosperous places on the continent.
That place was also where Ye Feng intended to go!
Xiao Bing did not leave; she simply returned to her own space and quietly waited for Ye Feng.
For nearly half a month afterward, Ye Feng stayed in the secret chamber. Notably, Xuan Lao had not appeared during this time, and since Tianyi Daoist did not provide much guidance either, everything relied on him alone!
The cramped secret chamber felt stifling, especially after spending over ten consecutive days inside, which made him even more restless.
Ye Feng spent almost two-thirds of his time studying the Wordless Heavenly Book. Unfortunately, he gained nothing!
It could be said that those days were completely wasted for Ye Feng!
"It seems like just a simple stone. Sigh, how can I comprehend its secrets?" On the eighteenth day, Ye Feng could no longer bear it. Looking at the Wordless Heavenly Book in his hands, he muttered to himself.
Perhaps having been cooped up for too long, Ye Feng stood up to stretch his limbs and then slowly walked toward the cave entrance!
At that moment, Tianyi Daoist was nowhere to be found; the entire cave felt empty. It was already summer outside, and unknown insects chirped in the grass! A bright moon hung high in the sky.
The bright moonlight cascaded down like silk from the galactic horizon, almost visible to the naked eye!
Ye Feng found a clear patch of ground and gazed up at the sky, murmuring to himself: "Such beautiful scenery is truly regrettable without a beauty by my side!"
Although this was merely a Silver Moon Secret Realm, there was still sky, sun, and moon. Ye Feng even wondered if this was another space-time dimension altogether.
However, such thoughts are merely fleeting; right and wrong are always difficult to verify!
Through the moonlight, Ye Feng tightly gripped the Wordless Heavenly Book. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the purple glow of the Heavenly Book became even more dazzling.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Feng's mind!
Could it be that, like the magical treasures from his past cultivation days, it requires blood to recognize its master? If that's the case, this item should be similar to some kind of magical treasure!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng hurriedly used the Azure Dragon Sword to cut his arm, then let his blood drip onto the Heavenly Book.
As the blood fell, a hint of blood-red light mixed into the original purple glow, although it was relatively faint!
However, the Heavenly Book still showed no other reaction!
Ye Feng tilted his head and thought, "For magical treasures to recognize their master, besides one's own blood, it seems that one must also erase any Divine Consciousness within the treasure. But there doesn't seem to be any Divine Consciousness here. If this is truly a magical treasure, that should suffice. Why is there no effect at all?"
"Wait, could it require coordination with my cultivation method? Cultivators all have their own methods, which means they possess powerful spiritual energy within them. This spiritual energy can subtly purify the magical treasure!"
Realizing this, Ye Feng immediately activated his Innate Spirit Summoning Technique!
In an instant, a faint stream of spiritual energy emanated from his Dantian. However, as soon as it appeared, it was instantly absorbed by the Heavenly Book!
Seeing that there seemed to be hope, Ye Feng quickly released all the spiritual energy from his Dantian. However, as he released his spiritual energy, the Heavenly Book seemed to sense something and actively began to absorb his energy.
In an instant, Ye Feng felt a tremendous pulling force that stripped away his internal spiritual energy.
The world's spiritual energy was already pitifully scarce; otherwise, he would definitely be cultivating!
At this moment of being absorbed like this, he felt utterly weakened. Unfortunately, he had no ability to resist at all.
About half an hour later, Ye Feng could no longer endure it and fainted!
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a vast desolate desert; coincidentally, he found himself in an oasis!
"What is this place?" Ye Feng felt the spiritual energy within him and found that there was none at all.
After checking his body, he was relieved to find that his Vital Energy was still there, but the spiritual energy cultivated from the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique had completely vanished after such a long time!
There was no sadness to speak of!
"Kid, being able to enter here means we are fated. You must be a cultivator like me; otherwise, you wouldn't have been recognized by the Heavenly Book!"
Just as Ye Feng was lost in thought, a voice came down from above.
"Who are you? And why am I here?" Ye Feng asked loudly.
The voice paused for a moment, as if pondering, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this is just an independent space within the Heavenly Book. As I said, our meeting is fated!"
Ye Feng calmed his mind and continued, "So, this Heavenly Book is your treasure?"
The aged voice immediately replied, "That's right. It is my treasure, the most satisfactory artifact I crafted after arriving in this world. It dates back to the ancient era of this world. However, it's a pity that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is dwindling; there are no more cultivators left in this world. You are probably the last one."
Ye Feng nodded; he had already considered this point.
"So you need to listen carefully to what I say next. I am merely a fragment of Divine Consciousness; my physical body has long since perished. I hope you can accept my inheritance. Over the long years, many people have accidentally stumbled in here, but none met my requirements. I only casually passed on some Martial Techniques to them. However, those Martial Techniques were enough for them to dominate this world. But you are different; you are a complete cultivator, and I can sense that. Therefore, I will not teach you Martial Techniques; I want you to cultivate my Supreme Technique!"
Ye Feng felt confused; ever since arriving in this world, he had encountered all sorts of strange events. This fellow was also a cultivator? And it sounded like he came from another world?
"Um, senior, I don't know how to put this. In my world, spiritual energy is very scarce. If I cultivate your Supreme Technique, does that mean I have to become a cultivator? But the problem is, how can one cultivate now?"
Ye Feng unconsciously asked the biggest question.
"Not quite like that. The Supreme Technique I will teach you does not strictly require spiritual energy for support; it requires the elements between heaven and earth. You must understand that there are many elements in this world beyond just the few you know. My Supreme Technique doesn't have a specific name; if you wish, you can name it yourself. I'm about to dissipate; over these long years, I've seen too many people and learned about many Martial Techniques. In this world, if you cultivate my Supreme Technique to its peak, you'll have no rivals!"
"Is it really that powerful?" Ye Feng exclaimed. Regardless of whether what this fellow said was true or false, since good fortune was presenting itself at his doorstep, he wouldn't refuse!
"After I disappear, you will become the true master of this Wordless Heavenly Book. At that time, you will understand my Supreme Technique. If you have any questions, feel free to ask; my time is limited."
Ye Feng thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I really don't have any questions; I just want to get out of here!"
The guy seemed to sigh, and then Ye Feng felt darkness envelop him. In an instant, he vanished from where he stood and reappeared at the entrance of the cave.
However, the Wordless Heavenly Book seemed to have disappeared.
Just as he was searching for it, he felt something new in his chest and hurriedly checked.
It was shocking to see!
The Heavenly Book had actually entered his heart, now positioned right next to it, pulsating rhythmically with each heartbeat!
"This is ridiculous! How did it get in there without me knowing?" Ye Feng broke out in a cold sweat. This was inside his body; if anything went wrong, it could cost him his life!
"Don't worry; you will understand the usefulness of this Heavenly Book in the future. It is definitely a Supreme Treasure. Once I transmit the information of the Supreme Technique into your mind, I will completely disappear. Remember what I said!"
