In the training ground of the Blood Howler, a mysterious cave filled with Spirit Energy, Ye Feng sat cross-legged on a patch of open ground, surrounded by a silver halo of light.
Ye Feng appeared calm, with his palms facing upward and resting on his knees. Two swirling silver vortices continuously spun above his hands, drawing the surrounding Spirit Energy into his body as if it were a tangible substance.
After a surge of silver light, a dazzling silver aura erupted from Ye Feng's body. The two vortices in his hands trembled and eventually transformed into specks of silver light that entered Ye Feng's body.
"Finally succeeded!" Ye Feng opened his eyes, a flash of silver light passing through his pupils, and his entire demeanor seemed to undergo another transformation.
Through the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique and the remaining Spirit Energy in this place, Ye Feng had cultivated to the Refining Qi Triple Realm.
Although Qi Refinement was merely the most basic level among cultivators, and despite having absorbed and refined all the surrounding Spirit Energy without breaking through to Refining Qi Mid-Stage, Ye Feng was still very satisfied with his current state. He had remained at Refining Qi Second Layer for quite some time and did not expect that his Innate Spirit Summoning Technique still had room for improvement.
"Although the Spirit Energy in this cave is limited, it is enough for me to elevate my cultivation to Triple Realm. If what Blood Howler said is correct, as long as I can refine and absorb the Spirit Energy from the other two caves, breaking through to Refining Qi Mid-Stage Fourth Realm shouldn't be too difficult!" He stood up, speaking to himself with satisfaction.
After depleting the Spirit Energy in the mysterious cave, there was no need for him to linger here any longer. Ye Feng looked around and found nothing unusual in the cave. He then retraced his steps, passed through the waterfall, and returned to the cave where Tianyi Daoist resided.
"Tian Yi Senior, junior Ye Feng requests an audience!" Ye Feng called out several times at the entrance of the cave.
Echoes returned from within the cave, but Tianyi Daoist did not appear. Ye Feng frowned slightly, deep in thought.
"Strange, I have only been cultivating in the cave for two short days. Could something have happened outside?" Ye Feng leaned forward to peer into the depths of the cave but saw nothing but darkness. Even straining his eyes did not help him see clearly.
After exiting this time, he intended to seek out Tianyi Daoist to inquire about matters concerning the ancient giant demon. Previously, when he met Tianyi Daoist, he had mentioned that he would leave the secret realm immediately and return to Dragon Tiger Sect. It seemed that Tianyi Daoist had no intention of stopping or persuading him. If the seal of the Ancient Demon Lord was indeed as Blood Howler described and time was of the essence, then Tianyi Daoist's behavior appeared somewhat strange.
"The Carefree Master once said that he could not enter Qiu Yang Secret Realm because if one's cultivation exceeded the limits of the secret realm, it would attract heavenly lightning. Why can Tianyi Daoist, whose cultivation is comparable to mine, remain in the secret realm? Moreover, both Xiao Bing and Blood Howler clearly exceed the limits of the secret realm yet can also remain safe within it. This matter is indeed peculiar; could they possess some secret method to resist heavenly lightning in the secret realm?"
Ye Feng was filled with doubts. Unable to contain his curiosity, he sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave and performed a hand seal to release his Soul Thought.
After reaching the Refining Qi Triple Realm in Immortal Path, Ye Feng's Soul Thought became significantly stronger, allowing him to probe a distance of nearly a kilometer.
However, as soon as Ye Feng's Soul Thought entered the mysterious cave where Tianyi Daoist resided, it was blocked by a mysterious force. No matter how hard he tried, his Soul Thought could not advance beyond a hundred meters into the cave.
"Strange, is there some kind of Restriction set up in this cave?"
As a cultivator, Ye Feng's understanding of Soul Thought far surpassed that of martial artists in this world. Soul Thought is formless and intangible; aside from the unique formations and Restrictions used by cultivators and certain treasures capable of resisting divine thoughts, it should not encounter any obstacles.
"Could Tianyi Daoist also be a cultivator?" A strange thought suddenly crossed Ye Feng's mind.
With matters reaching this point, Ye Feng's curiosity about Tianyi Daoist grew even stronger. He focused his gaze on the dark interior of the cave, steeled himself, and slowly moved forward into the cave.
…………
To the west of Qiu Yang Secret Realm, deep in a rarely visited jungle, Cheng Xiaofeng led disciples of Golden Cloud Palace, their expressions serious as they surrounded two strangers.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense; the pairing of a man and a woman before them seemed quite unusual. The clothing they wore was unfamiliar to Cheng Xiaofeng and did not belong to any sect within the Nine Sects.
Although Cheng Xiaofeng had the advantage in numbers, he hesitated to take action. Anyone who could enter Qiu Yang Secret Realm under the watchful eyes of the Nine Sects' higher-ups was certainly not an ordinary person. Moreover, he could not see through the identities of the two individuals before him.
The reason he led the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace into the depths of the secret realm was due to a map given to him by Huang Chengyang, the palace master of Golden Cloud Palace.
The map had been meticulously drawn by disciples from previous explorations of the secret realm and marked potential treasure locations.
In fact, besides Golden Cloud Palace, each of the other eight sects had their own maps with designated treasure hunting points. Li Xingqi and Jiang Shiji from Dragon Tiger Sect had also provided maps to their respective Trial Disciples. In contrast, Ye Feng, who was new to this place, did not receive a map for Qiu Yang Secret Realm due to Bai Chengfeng's lack of preparation and intentional concealment by two Hall Masters.
Cheng Xiaofeng's purpose for this journey was to explore a treasure spot in the western jungle of the Qiu Yang Secret Realm, which coincidentally led him to encounter Xiao Bing and Blood Howler.
"Are you from the Golden Cloud Palace's Trial Disciple?" Xiao Bing furrowed her brows slightly. She had stayed in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm for several decades and had some understanding of the Nine Major Sects, which often sent Trial Disciples into the secret realm for trials.
"That's right. May I ask who you two are and why you have entered our Northern Border Nine Sects' jurisdiction in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm?" Cheng Xiaofeng began to grow impatient. His cultivation had reached the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm, placing him among the top ranks of the Nine Sect Trial disciples. Although he could not see through the true strength of the two before him, he knew that there could not be any experts above the Origin Martial Realm in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm. Thus, he assumed they were merely hiding their true power through some strange means and believed they were at most at the same level as him.
Xiao Bing did not respond but lowered her head in thought, while Blood Howler appeared somewhat irritable. As a member of the Beast Clan, he had learned to temper his temper due to his association with Tianyi Daoist, but he still would not tolerate any disrespect from younger human disciples.
"What we are is none of your business. Leave this place quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The middle-aged man dressed in red, Blood Howler, wore a proud expression, clearly looking down on Cheng Xiaofeng and his companions.
Cheng Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow and involuntarily glanced at his fellow disciples, noticing their displeasure as they tightly gripped their weapons at their waists.
With just a command from him, these disciples would undoubtedly rush forward and quickly subdue the two.
As a fierce battle loomed, Cheng Xiaofeng hesitated. As the senior brother of the Golden Cloud Palace, he was naturally exceptional enough to lead all the Golden Cloud Palace's Trial Disciples.
Known for his cautious approach and sharp intellect, Cheng Xiaofeng focused intently for a moment and sensed an unnamed powerful pressure emanating from the two.
Xiao Bing was not someone who craved bloodshed, but her straightforward nature left her unsure of how to handle this complex situation. In contrast, Blood Howler quickly made a decision; he believed that his secrets within the Qiu Yang Secret Realm must not be revealed and immediately felt murderous intent.
Surveying his surroundings, Blood Howler secretly mobilized his internal magic power. Although his cultivation had been somewhat suppressed since becoming an avatar of a human cultivator, dealing with some younger human disciples at the Origin Martial Realm level was still well within his capabilities.
"Hey, Xiao Bing, what are you doing here?" Just as Blood Howler was about to take action, a clear and pleasant voice called out to him.
"Does anyone recognize this little phoenix?" Blood Howler said, slightly surprised, as he quickly withdrew his hand and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
A beautiful woman dressed in a white long dress, somewhat resembling Xiao Bing but with a dragon and tiger emblem embroidered on her chest, gracefully walked over from another part of the jungle. Behind her, several young disciples dressed in various outfits from different Sects followed closely, approaching Cheng Xiaofeng and the others.
"Ning Ruoxue?" Xiao Bing recognized Ning Ruoxue from their previous encounter. Seeing her suddenly appear here made her feel relieved, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
With Ning Ruoxue's help, she no longer needed to freeze the group blocking her path into ice sculptures.
"Ning Ruoxue? What are you doing back here? Hey, aren't you all Trial Disciples from Divine Dream Pavilion, Heavenly Gang Sect, Tianshan Sect, Primordial Court, and Ling God Sword Sect? Why are you with people from Dragon Tiger Sect?"
Cheng Xiaofeng's expression momentarily froze as his gaze lingered on Ning Ruoxue's stunning beauty. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.
Just as Blood Howler was about to mumble something, Xiao Bing quickly waved her hand to stop him. "Brother Blood, since our niece Ning from Dragon Tiger Sect has already stepped in, we don't need to bother hiding our identities anymore!"
Xiao Bing discreetly exchanged glances with Ning Ruoxue. Being exceptionally intelligent, Ning Ruoxue quickly grasped the tense standoff between them and the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace. She realized that if she had arrived even a moment later, those disciples might have met a tragic end.
The relationship between Dragon Tiger Sect and Golden Cloud Palace had always been good. She was also familiar with Cheng Xiaofeng, the senior brother from Golden Cloud Palace. Seeing that Xiao Bing intended to let the other party off the hook, she naturally wouldn't expose their identities. With a calm smile, she said, "So it's Brother Cheng from Golden Cloud Palace. It's been a while. These two are Master Han and Blood Uncle from our Dragon Tiger Sect. Due to pressing matters, they prefer not to disclose their identities; I hope Brother Cheng can understand!"
