"What did you say?"Elder Zhao was at a loss for a moment before he yelled in anger,
"Ye Feng, I"m warning you, don"t go too far. If you hurt Qing Xuan, I definitely won"t let you go. I"ll kill you if you don"t believe me …"
Ye Wen laughed, "Elder Zhao, are you sure you want to kill me?"
"I …" Elder Zhao was stunned. Ye Ci"s words stopped him from continuing.
It was true that Qing Xuan was one of his favorite disciples, but if he were to compare his own cultivation with Qing Xuan"s, he would definitely choose his own.
He naturally wouldn"t do something as foolish as killing Ye Feng and lowering Elder Zhao"s cultivation.
"I won"t kill you. Do you really think that I don"t have any other methods to deal with you? Are you doubting my will?" Elder Zhao said with a calm voice after pausing for a moment.
"Of course I believe in Elder Zhao"s understanding. Besides, my sister is still in your hands right now. If Elder Zhao wants to deal with me, he has a thousand ways to do so." Ye Feng laughed loudly.
Elder Zhao snorted, "Brat, it"s good that you know this."
Ye Feng smiled and nodded, "However, since Elder Zhao is willing to lose a few days" worth of cultivation and forcefully break through my barrier, this also means that Qing Xuan has a certain amount of weight in Elder Zhao"s heart."
Elder Zhao twitched slightly. He felt a bit uncomfortable when he heard Ye Feng"s words.
"So what if I am?"
"If that"s the case..." Ye Feng slightly smiled, and his expression gradually turned cold, "Zi Feng hopes that Elder Zhao can lose a few more days of cultivation and suppress my inner demon."
"What …"
Elder Zhao"s heart trembled. He did not expect Ye Feng to have evil intentions towards him.
A few days of cultivation was still acceptable in his eyes. Ye Feng didn"t ask as much as a lion to bring up something he couldn"t do.
However, he felt that he would lose face if he agreed to Ye Feng. If Ye Feng were to continue to fight with him like this, sooner or later, Qing Xuan would encounter danger.
"Elder Zhao, I"ll be waiting for your reply. Qing Xuan and Zi Feng, I will definitely remember what Elder Zhao gave me today." Ye Wen said with a faint smile.
Elder Zhao grumpily scolded, "I haven"t said what I"m going to give you yet, but you brat, you like to talk to yourself."
"Listening to Elder Zhao"s tone, do you think I can take it as it? Elder Zhao has already agreed to it," Ye Feng pressed.
Elder Zhao was stunned by Ye Feng"s shameless question.
"You … you want me to help you. Could it be that you are still hoping for that talent?"
Ye Feng smiled faintly and did not deny it …
Even now, Elder Zhao still didn"t quite understand. It was already good enough for Ye Feng to comprehend the dao properly, why did he have to use that talent for?
The moon in the well may be beautiful, but if you can"t get it, then it"s just a dream.
"Forget it, I don"t have the time to talk nonsense with you right now." Elder Zhao sighed heavily. Although he had suffered a loss, he didn"t feel too sad about it.
After all, it was not the first time that he had been cheated by Ye Feng and got angry at him. Unknowingly, he had already started to feel submissive.
"I can suppress the inner demon for you, but at most, it will only take half an hour. In this time, whether or not you can succeed will depend on your own luck. After half an hour, even if I cripple you, I will still wake you up." Elder Zhao"s voice was ice-cold as he snorted heavily.
"An hour huh …?" "Enough," Ye Feng thought for a moment, then raised his head and said with a smile.
"Then let"s begin."
Elder Zhao was a little worried for Qing Xuan. He didn"t want to wait a moment longer.
As soon as he finished speaking, the strand of spiritual will went deeper along the edge of Ye Feng"s mind.
With Elder Zhao"s help, he suppressed Ye Feng"s inner demons. His thoughts were no longer cloudy, nor were they separate.
His inner demons and body seemed to have become one, as if they had become one, and his consciousness coexisted in the same place.
As a result, due to Ye Feng"s sudden action, Qing Xuan had finally regained her senses.
"Wh-what"s going on?" It was obviously impossible for Qing Xuan to know that her master had used her soul consciousness to help her. So, when she saw Ye Feng suddenly stop, she couldn"t help but feel incredulous.
… ….
All of a sudden, Ye Feng raised his head from the chaos.
In the vast and boundless horizon, the sky was filled with stars. He looked around, and the dazzling light made it hard for him to open his eyes.
Ye Feng was shocked for a moment, and quickly understood what was going on. He then smiled.
"I understand. Demons in the heart are the self and the main body is the self. Only when the two are combined can one see where the Dao is."
This theory was not hard to understand. The key point was that once one made a mistake, their life could be in danger. Ye Feng, on the other hand, just happened to be the lucky one among the people who made the bet.
He saw that there was a transparent and formless staircase that led straight to the bottom of Ye Feng"s feet.
A complicated expression flashed across his eyes as he lifted his foot and stomped towards the sky.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps,
The formless steps that were originally transparent seemed to be solid, as if each step was a step on solid ground.
Suddenly, Ye Feng seemed to have thought of something, he turned around and stared closely at the stairs that he walked past and discovered that they had already disappeared.
"You won"t let me go back? That"s fine. I"ll just walk this path." Ye Feng was a bit surprised, but then he calmed down.
There were quite a few people who had expended a great deal of effort and effort, but when they were walking down the heart ladders, due to their unstable state of mind, they had caused the heart ladders to break apart.
However, Ye Feng did not plan to turn back from the beginning. His att.i.tude was exceptionally resolute and was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Dazzling light shone on Ye Feng"s body one after another, causing a golden light to shine.
Ye Feng slowly walked up the stairs. He closed his eyes and stared at the light.
Taking a closer look, that ball of light was not a magic treasure, nor was it a weapon. In fact, it was not even a concrete object.
A divine light flashed in his eyes as he slowly approached the ball of light. He muttered to himself.
"If I"m not wrong, this should be the biggest secret of the third floor."
… ….
Outside the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
The group of people looked at Ye Feng"s unconscious appearance and started to discuss with each other.
"Sigh... "I thought this Ye Feng would give us some surprises, but I didn"t expect him to be someone who likes to boast. Don"t even talk about talent, it"s good enough that he can keep his life."
"It shouldn"t be a problem saving his life. The key point is, can he regain his consciousness? I"m afraid Ye Feng might really turn into a madman Ye."
Some people saw that the scene in the blue flames of the spiritual altar was somewhat boring. In order to find some fun, they smiled and looked towards where the radiance of the stars was.
Hey, Daoist Master Zhao"s first disciple, didn"t you think highly of that guy called Ye Feng before? You even spent five hundred gold coins to buy his awakening talent, how about that, now do you want to admit defeat? For Daoist Master Zhao"s sake, I can give you a discount.
"Haha, that"s right, Starlight. It"s individuals who make a mistake. Don"t be too dejected. If you admit defeat and apologize, then this matter will end here."
Starlight swept his gaze across them and said coldly, "No, I still insist on my original view. Ye Feng, he can awaken his talent. This is also the reason why I am here."
The person on the other side was called Chen Liang. He immediately became somewhat sullen, "Starlight, don"t refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. What relationship does Ye Feng have with you? If you want to support him, go against us."
In fact, only w.a.n.g Tian Zhi and Hua Shao were among Chen Liang"s group. They were very dissatisfied with Ye Feng. It would be reasonable to say that they thought of him as a thorn in their side.
Starlight shook his head and laughed. "I don"t have any relationship with him. I didn"t even say a single word to him."
"Then why did you …" Chen Liang froze for a long time. The two of them had no relationship at all.
"I"m just, it"s just a matter of fact," Starlight said solemnly.
"... "What a great "matter". Take a good look at the scene within the blue flames of the spiritual altar. Look at the unconscious and motionless person, does he still look like someone who can awaken his innate talent?" Chen Liang chuckled.
At this moment, someone tugged at Chen Liang"s clothes. "Bro Liang, this …"
Chen Liang frowned and looked at him with displeasure. "I"ve told you so many times, I don"t like people pulling my clothes."
"That"s not it, Brother Chen. Take a look at the scene inside the blue flame on the spiritual altar." That person sucked in a breath of cold air, and a trace of seriousness appeared on his face.
"What other change could there be? Could it be that after falling into the heart demon, Ye Feng was able to have …"
"There"s been some progress …"
He raised his head and looked at the tip of the leaf. His words stopped there. His originally somewhat disdainful smile was now extremely stiff, as if someone was pulling at his face.
In the blue flames of the Spiritual Altar, Ye Feng"s entire body seemed to be bathed in golden light. Strands of aura that could be seen with the naked eye seemed to be attracted by him and drilled into his pores, pouring into countless of his acupoints.
The wounds on his body that were already beginning to heal slowly healed. Now, even a fool could see that Ye Feng was completely fine. Moreover, it seemed that he had really met with some great luck.
"This... "How could this be?" Chen Liang was stunned, but his expression turned ugly in an instant.
At this moment, Starlight"s eyes were staring unwaveringly at Ye Feng. Even though he said he trusted Ye Feng, in reality, it was only because of his unyielding spirit. But now, his confidence had increased by a lot.
Sure enough, within the blue flame Spiritual Altar"s image, Ye Feng"s starry eyes suddenly opened and a majestic aura filled the entire s.p.a.ce.
An hour pa.s.sed, no more, no less.
