With a "ding," Ye Feng manipulated the Blood Pattern Needle, inserting it directly into the gap of the coffin lid.
However, even the indestructible Blood Pattern Needle could only penetrate about an inch into the mysterious stone coffin before it could go no further.
Ye Feng felt a surge of joy and began to continuously channel his spiritual energy, urging the Blood Pattern Needle to delve deeper into the coffin's crevice.
Yet, the resistance from within the coffin grew stronger. Ye Feng's spiritual energy was limited, and before long, he had exhausted it completely, with the Blood Pattern Needle only having penetrated about two inches.
Although the effect was modest, the current situation was much better than before.
Ye Feng sat cross-legged and began to operate the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique to recover his spiritual energy. Soon, he was astonished to find that his recovery speed seemed significantly faster than before.
Though puzzled, Ye Feng was eager to open the coffin lid and did not dwell on it; instead, he continued to drive the Blood Pattern Needle deeper.
With such great consumption of spiritual energy, Ye Feng found it cumbersome to sit in meditation. He instead operated the Blood Pattern Needle while simultaneously channeling the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique.
A miraculous scene suddenly unfolded. As Ye Feng activated the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique, a wave of Spirit Energy emanated from within the coffin and was drawn into his body!
"So there is Spirit Energy in the coffin! No wonder my spiritual energy is recovering so quickly!" Ye Feng exclaimed in delight. With this replenishment of energy, he could absorb the Spirit Energy leaking from the coffin while continuing to push the Blood Pattern Needle deeper.
The Blood Pattern Needle steadily advanced into the depths of the coffin's gap, but the resistance increased correspondingly. After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng felt that progress was too slow and decided to unleash his Vital Energy as well, continuously infusing it into the Blood Pattern Needle through his hands.
With both Vital Energy and spiritual energy enhancing its power, the Blood Pattern Needle penetrated much faster. However, due to exerting too much force while maintaining his spiritual energy flow, Ye Feng's meridians began to sustain some damage from the heavy burden.
Fortunately, supported by the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique, he quickly repaired this minor injury with his spiritual energy. At that moment, the Blood Pattern Needle finally completely entered the gap of the stone coffin!
"Out!" Ye Feng summoned it back into his hand with a swift motion.
He repeated this process, inserting the Blood Pattern Needle again on one side of the previous pinhole. After a considerable amount of time, a tiny gap finally appeared on the tightly sealed stone coffin.
"Although this method works well, progress is still too slow. I don't know how many pinholes I will need to make to fully open this coffin!"
Just when Ye Feng was feeling somewhat frustrated, a terrifying and violent force suddenly erupted from the cracks in the stone coffin!
"The person inside is moving. It seems these cracks have broken the seal of the coffin, and it's enough for the one inside to break free!" Ye Feng stepped back in shock, his eyes warily watching the constantly trembling lid of the coffin.
With a loud bang, just as Ye Feng had expected, the heavy lid of the coffin was shattered by an overwhelming force!
Immediately after, a delicate and smooth white finger rested on the edge of the coffin.
Ye Feng's heart stirred; he never imagined that such terrifying power belonged to a woman.
Moreover, she was an extraordinarily beautiful woman!
The woman emerging from the coffin wore a flowing white dress, her exquisite figure partially visible beneath the translucent fabric, evoking endless imagination. However, upon closer inspection, it appeared that she was shrouded in an invisible mist, adding an air of mystery.
Her face was also veiled with a thin gauze. Although her features were obscured, it was clear that her beauty was rare in this world.
Beneath her flawless neck, the front of her dress was cut low, revealing glimpses of pure white skin.
Out of respect, Ye Feng dared not gaze at her for too long and quickly shifted his attention elsewhere.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that it would be you, this little brat, who saved me!" Curious eyes sparkled beneath the transparent veil as the mysterious woman chuckled softly. She raised her small hand to cover her mouth, causing the gauze to flutter like green smoke, revealing her facial contours faintly.
"I am flattered; I merely did what I could!" Ye Feng replied respectfully.
"You are quite humble. However, I don't want to owe you any favors!" The mysterious woman frowned slightly. After sizing up Ye Feng with some surprise, she said, "Although your cultivation isn't impressive, your Meridian is quite remarkable. I happen to have a Fourth-Rank Xuantian Pill here; consider it a repayment for saving my life!"
Without waiting for Ye Feng's response, she flipped her wrist and a pale yellow pill shot out from her hand.
Ye Feng reached out slightly and caught the pill that the mysterious woman had sent him.
"The Mystic Heaven Pill! A Fourth-Rank pill!" Ye Feng's heart trembled in disbelief at having obtained such a valuable item!
"It is indeed the Mystic Heaven Pill. Keep it well; it will be of great use to you!" The voice of Xuan Lao echoed in his mind again. Ye Feng no longer hesitated and carefully tucked the Mystic Heaven Pill into his bosom.
After the mysterious woman tossed the Mystic Heaven Pill to Ye Feng, she completely lost interest in him. With a light step, she floated like a wisp of smoke in front of Ye Ning.
Ye Ning's expression changed slightly, and she instinctively took two or three steps back, anxiously gazing at the fairy-like mysterious woman.
"Wow, I didn't expect to be surprised so many times today. I actually encountered the Ice Spirit True Form," the mysterious woman said, extending a hand and placing it on Ye Ning's head.
"Yes, it is indeed the Ice Spirit True Form. Very good. Little girl, what is your name?" The mysterious woman spoke gently to Ye Ning.
Seeing that the other party had no malicious intent, Ye Ning relaxed considerably and boldly replied, "My name is Ye Ning; you can call me Ning Er!"
"What senior? Am I that old?" The mysterious woman let out a series of light giggles, affectionately pinching Ye Ning's cheek as she said, "Little Ning Er, from now on, you must follow me to the Ice Origin Divine Sect for cultivation and call me Master!"
"Ice Origin Divine Sect!" Ye Ning furrowed her beautiful willow-shaped brows and said softly, "But I haven't agreed to go with you yet!"
"What? Are you unwilling to follow me to the Ice Origin Divine Sect?" The tone of the mysterious woman suddenly changed.
Beside them, Ye Feng secretly felt anxious for Ye Ning. This mysterious woman who emerged from the stone coffin had unfathomable strength, and her every move brought an overwhelming sense of terror. He feared that if Ye Ning acted stubbornly, she might offend this eccentric woman.
However, despite his fear, if this mysterious woman dared to harm Ye Ning, Ye Feng would risk his life to ensure she paid some price!
"Ice Origin Divine Sect is better than Dragon Tiger Sect! Can Ning Er learn profound skills there?" Yet Ye Ning was not intimidated by the mysterious woman; instead, she continued to ask curiously.
"What is this Dragon Tiger Sect?" The mysterious woman frowned and pondered for a moment before turning to Ye Feng and asking, "Do you know what sect this girl is talking about?"
"She doesn't even know about Dragon Tiger Sect?" Ye Feng couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. This person hadn't even heard of Dragon Tiger Sect; could she not be from Northern Jin Kingdom?
"It is my master's sect!" Ye Feng replied. "It is the second-ranked sect in Northern Jin Kingdom!"
"Northern Jin Kingdom?" The mysterious woman suddenly realized. "So it's a dilapidated sect from a small border country. Little girl, our Ice God Sect is thousands of times better than that Dragon Tiger Sect. Just cultivate there for two or three years; not only will Dragon Tiger Sect be no match for you, but no one in the entire Northern Jin Kingdom will be your opponent!"
"If that's the case, then I won't be a burden to Brother Ye anymore. Maybe I can even protect him!" Ye Ning quickly became interested in the mysterious woman's words.
After falling off the cliff, Ye Ning felt very guilty, believing that her cultivation was the lowest among the three. If it weren't for her, Ye Feng wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
Seeing that there was now a great opportunity, although she was somewhat reluctant to leave Ye Feng, she also didn't want to continue being a trouble for him.
Thinking of this, Ye Ning subconsciously looked at Ye Feng, seemingly seeking his opinion.
Ye Feng had previously checked Ye Ning's Meridian and knew that her physique was extraordinary. If she went to another Sect, she might not be able to unleash her full potential. The mysterious woman before them, although her origins were unknown, had an exceptionally high level of cultivation and could immediately see Ye Ning's special physique. It seemed that the Ice Origin Divine Sect behind her was not simple either.
"Foolish child, being able to cultivate in the Ice Origin Divine Sect is a blessing for that young girl. Only the Ice Origin Divine Sect can fully tap into the potential of the Ice Spirit True Form!" Xuan Lao reminded timely.
Since even the ancient monster in the ring said so, Ye Feng naturally no longer hesitated.
"Ning Er, haven't you always wanted to prove yourself and possess true power? Follow this senior to the Ice Origin Divine Sect for cultivation. I believe it won't be long before you surpass me!"
"Yes! If that day really comes, then I'll protect Brother!" Ye Ning said happily.
"Silly girl, I'm your brother. No matter what happens, it's always the brother protecting the sister. How can a sister protect her brother?" Ye Feng felt a bit emotional as he realized Ye Ning would be leaving him.
The mysterious woman beside Ye Ning also turned back curiously to look at Ye Feng and disdainfully said, "Hmph! Your talent is decent, but compared to the Ice Spirit True Form, it's far from enough. By then, you two will be from different worlds; whether you can meet again is uncertain!"
"Please don't laugh at me, senior!" Ye Feng suddenly chuckled lightly and said with determination, "However, once I set my mind on something, I've never failed. I will definitely see Ning Er again!"
The mysterious woman gave Ye Feng a meaningful glance and patted Ye Ning's shoulder. "Silly girl, let's go!"
"No!" Ye Ning finally couldn't hold back her tears again. Ignoring the mysterious woman's obstruction, she directly rushed into Ye Feng's embrace.
Ye Feng also hugged Ye Ning back and comforted her for a long time with red eyes until her emotions finally calmed down completely.
The mysterious woman watched Ye Feng and Ye Ning with interest until Ye Ning obediently returned to her side before turning to prepare to leave.
"Senior, I have one more request!" Ye Feng suddenly exclaimed.
"You want to leave this place, don't you?" The mysterious woman turned her head and chuckled lightly. "I thought you weren't going to make that request."
Ye Feng awkwardly scratched his head, unsure of how to respond.
The mysterious woman extended a finger and began to draw in the air, pointing at the ground.
Before long, a uniquely shaped drawing appeared on the ground. Ye Feng focused intently and felt that this drawing was extraordinarily profound, as if vital energy was flowing within it.
"Step on this drawing, and you can leave," the mysterious woman said before taking off into the air with the red-eyed Ye Ning, leaping directly off the cliff!
"Flying through the air, is this what it means to fly through the air?" Ye Feng stared blankly at the disappearing figures of the mysterious woman and Ye Ning, unable to speak for a long time!
Ye Ning's every smile and frown resurfaced in his mind. Ye Feng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and gazed at the empty space above the cliff where their figures had completely vanished. He silently vowed, "Ning Er, no matter where you are, I will find you one day!"
