Ye Feng took control of everything within the palace.
He was then surprised to find that the palace could be stored directly within his own divine sense space.
With just a thought, he could enter the palace to escape enemy attacks.
“Oh?”
“Predecessor, is there a way to see who possesses the Pure Yin Physique?”
“Ordinary people cannot tell. However, if it were a cultivator with innate heterochromia or one who has cultivated pupil arts…”
“The Pure Yin Physique?”
Ye Feng could not help but feel a bit excited.
The benefits of the Pure Yin Physique went without saying.
If one could harvest the benefits of a Pure Yin Physique, a man’s cultivation speed would advance by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, his body was a natural Pure Yang Physique.
The benefits of the Pure Yin Physique were ten or a hundred times greater for him than for an ordinary man.
That woman must be the fellow transmigrator from Earth who had snatched his cultivation.
She looked quite good too.
Ye Feng’s heart stirred. If he could have her body…
“Kid, there is something incredible sealed within you.”
Just as Ye Feng was lost in his fantasies, a voice suddenly echoed in his divine sense.
The old man said solemnly, “The ancient demon beast of disaster, the Huodou. Back when the Huodou appeared, countless people died in that war. Eventually, several great experts of the human race sealed the Huodou at the cost of their lives. Since then, no news of the disaster beast Huodou has ever been heard.”
Ye Feng felt as if he had been doused with cold water, quickly regaining his composure.
He had just been lightheaded from the unexpected surprise.
According to the plot in the novel, the seal on the Huodou inside him only leaked a sliver of aura because it loosened after his cultivation reached the Transformation God stage.
Just because of that sliver of aura, he had been hunted by human cultivators for seven days and seven nights.
Now that the Huodou’s seal had appeared early, he didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
“However, the commotion you just made was inside the secret realm; it shouldn’t reach the outside world. There is no need to worry for now. The urgent matter is that the seal on the Huodou in your body is already showing signs of loosening. If you do not find a way to reinforce it, the day the Huodou breaks out of the seal will be the day you die.”
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
After calming down, he began to think about his next plans.
He certainly couldn’t leave the secret realm directly now.
With such a massive change occurring, many great experts must have noticed this place.
If he went out in one piece, he would be chopped into mincemeat in minutes.
He couldn’t return to the Ye family in Liangzhou City either.
There were no people or things there that he cared about.
Damn it, his engagement had also been called off; his fiancée had come to his door to break it.
Was this the path every protagonist of a power-fantasy novel had to walk?
After some deliberation, Ye Feng planned to find a place in the shattered secret realm to cultivate for a period of time to avoid the trouble outside.
What he did not expect was…
Zhu Lan was also trapped in the secret realm.
She hadn’t left yet, and now she couldn’t leave at all.
The entrance to the secret realm had closed.
Zhu Lan was a bit panicked at first, but after noticing that the secret realm seemed to have stopped collapsing, she gradually felt at ease.
The spiritual energy here was so dense—a hundred times better than the outside world.
She simply dug another hole and hid inside to cultivate.
For a cultivator, there was little sense of the passage of time.
Zhu Lan digested her previous insights into the Seven Killing Arts and began her cultivation of the Nine Yin Profound Nether Manual.
The old man who gave her the cheat code hadn’t lied.
Ever since she began practicing the Nine Yin Profound Nether Manual, her cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds.
She wouldn’t have dared to imagine she could cultivate so quickly before.
By the time she next opened her eyes, a month had already passed.
And Zhu Lan’s cultivation had reached the startling Qi Condensation Level 7 from Qi Condensation Level 3!
She had skipped four minor stages!
This was also thanks to the fact that the Nine Yin Profound Nether Manual was actually just a technique to increase cultivation speed, primarily focusing on enhancing divine sense; it wasn’t particularly helpful for actual combat.
Zhu Lan felt a bit arrogant. Could she really be a genius!
She didn’t notice that every time she circulated the Nine Yin Profound Nether Manual to breathe in spiritual energy, the mysterious aura around her body would grow a bit more solid.
Feeling an unprecedented sense of fulfillment, Zhu Lan felt as if she were walking on air.
She was just about to find a demon beast to test her skills when she stood up, only to find the obstruction at the entrance of her cave being cleared away.
“Good morning, little thief.”
Ye Feng seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
He slowly stood up, revealing a sunny smile.
Zhu Lan: !!!
She immediately became alert, quickly analyzing the situation before her.
Not good!
The protagonist seemed to have discovered that she was the one who had knocked him unconscious.
She didn’t know how much information he had gathered, so she decided to test him first.
“Why does your excellency call me a little thief…”
Ye Feng waved his hand to interrupt.
“Didn’t you sneak attack me before, tie me up, and leave me in a cave? How could you forget me so quickly?”
Zhu Lan: !!!
Ye Feng was standing straight, blocking the entrance to Zhu Lan’s cave, and there was no way out behind her.
It was clear he was here to settle the score.
There was nothing more to say.
If there was no path forward, she would open one with her fists!
Seeing this, Zhu Lan no longer hid her strength.
She directly released her Qi Condensation Level 7 aura.
Feeling the endless spiritual power surging within her body, Zhu Lan felt an unprecedented sense of fullness.
She suddenly thought of the WWE she had seen back on Earth.
She raised her hands in a boxing stance, eager to try.
If she remembered correctly, at this point in time, the protagonist could have at most used the plants in the secret realm to recover his damaged meridians, barely reaching Qi Condensation Level 1.
With Qi Condensation Level 7 against Level 1, the advantage was hers.
“There is a path to heaven you refuse to take, and a gate to hell you barge into! Take my Tathagata Palm!”
Zhu Lan circulated the Nine Yin Profound Nether Manual, gathering spiritual energy in her hand, and threw an uppercut…
“Slap!”
It hit!
No, that wasn’t right!
The next second, Zhu Lan was beyond shocked.
Ye Feng had actually caught her punch.
Ye Feng held Zhu Lan’s fist with one hand, his large hand wrapping around hers.
He couldn’t resist giving it a gentle squeeze.
Hmm, it really did feel nice.
He pretended not to see the shocked expression on the beauty’s face and immediately circulated the Nine Yang Profound Radiance Manual, releasing his Qi Condensation Level 3 aura without reservation.
A powerful pressure instantly spread from Ye Feng’s body.
Zhu Lan’s Qi Condensation Level 7 aura was instantly swallowed up like a weakling.
“Qi Condensation Level 3?!”
The cave Zhu Lan had worked so hard to find showed signs of collapsing.
How the hell was this Qi Condensation Level 3??!
She would have believed it if someone said this was the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even worse, after Zhu Lan’s Nine Yin Profound Nether Manual sensed the aura on Ye Feng’s body, it began to become sluggish and difficult to circulate.
It was like a subject meeting a king, instinctively wanting to submit.
She was being countered!
Zhu Lan gritted her teeth, trying to pull her hand out of Ye Feng’s grip.
Now she could only rely on her final trump card, the Seven Killing Arts.
She didn’t dare hold back any longer.
She mobilized all the spiritual energy in her body to trigger the Seven Killing Arts, burning her bridges!
Ye Feng’s eyes immediately went dark for a moment, and his senses of the surrounding world became very weak.
Now!
Zhu Lan seized the opportunity and threw a left hook.
Just as she thought she had succeeded, a sudden change occurred.
A streak of brilliant black light suddenly exploded from Ye Feng’s body, blasting Zhu Lan several meters away.
Zhu Lan felt a bloody taste in her throat.
She struggled to force out a few words: “Linyuan Sword.”
How did the protagonist end up obtaining the cultivation manual and the Linyuan Sword in the end?
After all her efforts, the manual she obtained was completely suppressed by his.
Zhu Lan became humble.
The protagonist was the true genius; a cannon fodder like her couldn’t match him in a head-on fight.
Now the only option was…
Zhu Lan turned and ran.
