Misty Peak summit.

Qiao Jiaxi finally woke up.

“Why am I lying in a wooden barrel, shouldn’t I be on the ground?”

Qiao Jiaxi instinctively jumped out of the barrel, and discovered that his whole body was filled with strength, seemingly increased by thirty percent compared to before he lost consciousness.

“Do you feel like you’ve become stronger?” Ye Feng, sitting in a lounge chair with his legs crossed, eating a watermelon, asked.

Qiao Jiaxi nodded, “Sect Leader, I’ve found that my strength has greatly increased. If I continue to cultivate in the same way as today, I should be able to endure for a longer time.”

Ye Feng said, “The training tasks will increase each day; it can’t always stay the same. Cultivation itself is about constantly breaking one’s own limits. If you always stick to past standards, how would you improve?”

Qiao Jiaxi had an instant realization: “I will continue the strenuous training…”

“Wait!” Ye Feng stopped Qiao Jiaxi, “Fainting once a day is enough; any more than that would actually affect your foundation. After all, cultivation also requires a balanced approach, to proceed step by step.”

“What should the disciple do next then?”

“Immovable as a mountain, the Great Stillness Technique!” Ye Feng articulated eight characters.

Upon hearing these words, Qiao Jiaxi felt as if he were facing a towering peak, and he himself seemed to have transformed from a person into a mountain, unshakable regardless of the winds and rains.

“Please teach me, Sect Leader,” Qiao Jiaxi said respectfully.

Ye Feng pointed to the open space ahead and said, “Stand on the open ground, maintain a natural standing posture, close your eyes, enter a thoughtless state, completely relax your body and mind, and gradually immerse yourself in nature. At that time, you should consider yourself as nothingness.”

This was a method Ye Feng had devised based on his understanding of existing spells, primarily to calm Qiao Jiaxi’s mind and prevent distracting thoughts, a more sophisticated approach than when he initially guided Mo Ying in cultivating Sword Qi.

Qiao Jiaxi immediately did as instructed.

His hands hung down naturally, he stood as steady as a pine or a cypress, his eyes closed naturally, not thinking about anything, always maintaining silence.

Before long, Qiao Jiaxi fell asleep while standing!

Seeing this, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows. With a wave of his hand, Qiao Jiaxi was flung up into the air by the Heroic Spirit Power and then rapidly fell downward.

“Ah!”

Qiao Jiaxi immediately awoke with a cry of alarm.

Ye Feng didn’t bother with him and let Qiao Jiaxi fall from a height of more than ten meters.

In the face of danger, Qiao Jiaxi realized his physique was strong. He quickly adjusted his posture, and the moment his feet hit the ground, he began to absorb the impact. He rolled once on the ground but was unharmed.

“Sect Leader, your disciple acknowledges his mistake.”

“Where did you go wrong?”

“The disciple was to enter a thoughtless state, not to fall asleep. I will continue to seek understanding and not bring shame upon you.”

Hearing this, Ye Feng fell silent for a moment and then said, “You’re not bringing me shame. In the path of cultivation, what one ultimately cultivates is oneself. Whether it is done well or poorly, what does that have to do with me?”

That being said, Ye Feng, using the Heroic Spirit Power, elevated both himself and Qiao Jiaxi until they reached a height of several thousand meters.

The knife-like cold wind struck, and Qiao Jiaxi shivered.

“Cultivate the Great Stillness Technique here,” Ye Feng instructed.

Qiao Jiaxi looked down and saw that the peak below had become very small, and Whitefloat City could be seen in the distance, his natural fear of heights making him tremble.

“You’re afraid of heights?” Ye Feng asked.

“Yes,” Qiao Jiaxi admitted, embarrassed.

“For a cultivator who fears heights, how would you manage to fly? Imagine being a Sword Immortal who can ascend tens of thousands of miles into the sky at a single thought. If you are afraid of heights, wouldn’t you just fall straight down?”

Ye Feng paused briefly, then continued to add, “When cultivating the Quiet Heart Technique, how can one enter a state of No-Thought if there is fear in the heart? The so-called No-Thought can also be described as being without fear, fright, sadness, or joy.”

Having finished speaking, Ye Feng left Qiao Jiaxi in the sky and descended by himself.

“Sect Leader, don’t leave me up here alone!” Qiao Jiaxi shouted, but Ye Feng seemed deaf, simply ignoring him.

High in the sky.

Looking down, Qiao Jiaxi’s legs immediately went weak, but he found that his body was engulfed by an invisible force, preventing him from falling.

“I have to listen to the Sect Leader, I must calm my mind, overcome my fear… First, I need to trick myself into not being afraid!”

Qiao Jiaxi breathed rapidly, his complexion pale, but thinking of the words Ye Feng had said before leaving, he stared straight at the ground, trying to dispel his fear.

He did not know that within his body, an ancient power was awakening and beginning to spread throughout his body.

Before long, Qiao Jiaxi found that he was no longer afraid!

“I’m actually not afraid of heights anymore?”

Overjoyed, Qiao Jiaxi hurriedly stood up in the sky, closed his eyes, listened to the call of the wind, the rhythm of his heartbeat, and various other cacophonous sounds, as his mood gradually settled.

At the summit of Misty Peak.

“Ding, system notification: Registered Disciple ‘Qiao Jiaxi’ is now fully integrating the Ancient God Bloodline, current progress 55%.” Suddenly, Ye Feng heard a prompt from the system.

“It actually worked?” Ye Feng was astonished.

He had only casually given a few pointers, yet Qiao Jiaxi had successfully found the right path.

“It must be because Qiao Jiaxi’s Ancient God Bloodline is particularly strong, and he has good talent too. And just so happens my tips were right on point, so he succeeded,” Ye Feng thought to himself.

“Sect Master Ye!”

At this moment, a call came from Xin Guangxuan at the foot of the mountain.

Ye Feng opened the Formation passage, and Xin Guangxuan quickly arrived at the peak, saying anxiously, “There’s been a serious incident!”

Ye Feng’s heart tightened, his first instinct was that Souhun Zhenren was causing trouble again, and he quickly asked, “What happened?”

Xin Guangxuan spoke gravely, “Overall, it’s two things. First, today in Whitefloat City, a mysterious Element Gathering Realm expert emerged, calling himself the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch. He defeated me and Miss Baihua with just a single breath. The Third Elder told me to come and remind you to be extra careful of this person.”

Ye Feng raised his hand immediately and asked, “Wait, which Miss Baihua?”

“Heh, I was just about to tell you. The Tower Master of Jade Green Tower, Baihua Xiao, is my…” Xin Guangxuan stretched his hand to gesture, giving Ye Feng a “you know what I mean” look.

Ye Feng couldn’t believe that Xin Guangxuan and Baihua Xiao had gotten together and was momentarily speechless.

Remembering the origin of Yan Ruyu, Ye Feng asked, “Xin Dao-friend, have you asked Baihua Xiao about Yan Ruyu?”

“I’ve inquired about it. Yan Ruyu was captured by people from the Vice Tower Master near Five-Colors City and was taken back to Jade Green Tower. But don’t worry, Sect Master Ye, Miss Baihua has been very kind to Yan Ruyu; it was only because Miss Baihua had to leave for some business that the Vice Tower Master tried to subjugate Yan Ruyu, prompting her escape,” Xin Guangxuan explained.

Thinking further, Xin Guangxuan added, “Later, I learned that Miss Baihua has eliminated the Vice Tower Master and all those who had made mistakes under her command, thereby settling matters with you, Sect Master Ye.”

Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself that Baihua Xiao was indeed a decisive woman.

“Also, I have a second matter to discuss.” Xin Guangxuan’s expression suddenly turned grave, “These past few days, the Demon Generals from Fuyun Gloomy Forest and the people from Soul Seizing Sect have all gone quiet, as if they are plotting something sinister. Sect Master Ye, you should be vigilant!”

“Oh, the Demon General…”

Ye Feng scratched his head, looking bemused. He wanted to say that on a night when dark clouds covered the earth, he had already slain the Demon General, and even taken the Demon Core.

As for the Soul Seizing Sect, they were probably wary of Misty Sect’s Sect Protection Array, hence their recent absence of activity near Whitefloat City.

“Don’t worry, there’s nothing to fear,” Ye Feng reassured, waving his hand.

Xin Guangxuan said solemnly, “Sect Master Ye, this is a serious matter, you mustn’t take it lightly!”
