Chapter 268
Silence ….
Before the four of them entered the Heavenly Mystery Palace to comprehend the Dao, Wang Tian Zhi and Young Master Hua had the highest call for victory.
But now, they had become the first group to be eliminated. They dejectedly left from the side door of Heavencraft Palace, no longer having the face to continue watching this comprehension of the Dao.
Let alone the audience, even Daoist Master Le Feng frowned.
However, the reason he frowned was the backlash from the power he got when he was observing Ye Feng's illusion. If he didn't run away fast, he would have lost his life.
One had to know that this had never happened before. How could the illusion of a Qi Condensation student threaten an expert cultivator? Even if it was revealed, no one would believe it.
"Daoist Master Le Feng, could it be that you're still thinking about what just happened?" Fairy Feng's eyes sparkled as she asked with some doubt.
"Yes," Daoist Master Le Feng sighed and looked far away, "What happened to Ye Feng in the illusion? He was actually so strong, and when the illusion disappeared, he attracted a large amount of the magic array aura from the second layer, which indirectly led to Wang Tianzhi and the others getting kicked out of the illusion world."
Fairy Feng's expression was complex as she said, "Just now, the power of the illusion was astonishing. It nearly swept away all the spiritual energy on the second floor. I've also seen this scene; it's a bit strange …"
The spiritual energy in the illusion array on the second floor of the Heavenly Mystery Palace was of an extraordinary quality. No one could have imagined that it would be used to fill up the illusion created by Ye Feng.
"It seems like the youngsters from other cities are getting more and more promising. I think Ye Feng will very likely succeed in comprehending the dao this time."
Fairy Feng deeply nodded. "Yes, I think so too. I hope that he can maintain his calm during this time and continue …"
Before she could finish her words, her expression suddenly froze. She looked at Ye Feng from afar with her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Oh my god, this idiot, he's …"
… ….
Ye Feng slowly walked towards Qing Xuan's position. At the same time, he took out a Wind King Dagger, and revealed an obvious smile.
Qing Xuan frowned and retreated a few steps in alarm. "What, what are you trying to do? If you hurt me without reason, my master won't let you go."
Even though it was the first time she had seen this dagger, she could tell that this was a high-grade Spirit level magic treasure. It definitely wasn't anything ordinary.
And it was indeed like that. Just this Wind King's Dagger was worth more than ten sumptuous spiritual banquets.
"Who said I was going to hurt someone? I'm only here to show my sincerity."
"Sincerity? What sincerity?" Qing Xuan frowned. With an icy cold tone, she raised her head and glanced at Ye Feng. "Look at you. You brought this King Wind Dagger with you in order to harm me."
Ye Feng smiled plainly and suddenly threw the dagger onto the ground.
"You." Qing Xuan was stunned. She had never seen anyone who could throw a spirit level weapon on the ground.
"Like I said, I'm very sincere."
Ye Feng smiled and took a step forward, "Qing Xuan, since the annoying flies have left and there are only two people left, are you willing to join hands with me and comprehend the Dao together?"
"Join forces to comprehend the Dao!"
Qing Xuan's face turned pale with fright. After a moment, she came back to her senses and laughed, "These words are really interesting. Could it be that you have forgotten what Daoist Master Le Feng said before and that among the four of us, only one will succeed in comprehending the Dao."
Her expression suddenly turned cold and she continued, "So, the person who succeeds is either you or me. We can only be competitors and it is impossible for us to join hands."
"That's right. Daoist Master Le Feng did indeed say that there is only one person who has comprehended the Dao …"
"Since you still remember, then don't worry about it. If you ask me more, then it's just nonsense." Seeing that he understood this logic, Qing Xuan couldn't help but give him a disgruntled look.
"But, if one can comprehend the dao, then what about the person who awakened the talent? Isn't that a different story?" Ye Feng's pupils shrank as the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"This... "Awakening Talent." Qing Xuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Ye Feng said.
"This is too interesting, too interesting. You haven't even comprehended the Dao, yet you've already thought of the Awakening Inherent skill. Aren't you being a little too presumptuous?"
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, he smiled and said, "Even if I did push it too far, I will leave you with the chance to comprehend the dao. However, if I awaken my talent, I will need you to help me with it."
Qing Xuan saw that Ye Feng's words sounded so convincing that it sounded like it was true. She couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
"It can't be, Ye Feng, you are serious, you really want to join hands with me, this … "I'm afraid that such a thing has never happened in the Heavenly Mystery Palace of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."
There was only one chance for them to comprehend the Dao, and talent was something that no one dared to even think about. Thus, normally speaking, no one would choose to join hands.
Only someone like Ye Feng, who had done something unexpected many times before, would make such a shocking suggestion.
However, she was currently at a disadvantage and didn't have much of a choice, much less a chance to understand Ye Ci's thoughts.
Furthermore, if Ye Feng was serious with her, it would be equivalent to giving her a chance to directly comprehend the dao. In that case, she had no reason to reject at all.
"Of course I'm serious," Ye Wen smiled and nodded. "What's wrong? If the Heavenly Mystery Palace has never made such a precedent before, then why don't we just create one for it?"
"You …" Qing Xuan pondered for a moment, then thought of a question, "But that's not right. What are we going to rely on to restrain our actions? It's not like we can carry along something similar to a blood contract."
Ye Feng smiled and took out a pile of blood contracts from his spatial ring.
Qing Xuan, Elder Zhao, Fairy Feng, and the others all stared blankly at Ye Feng's actions. It was as if they had been petrified; they didn't move for a long time.
"It can't be, you really have a contract with you, and it's such a thick stack …"
Qing Xuan sucked in a breath of cold air as she pulled one out from Ye Feng's hand. She looked left and right, and after seeing that it was true, she continued, "You brought so many contracts with you. Don't tell me you've already decided that you want to take advantage of people everywhere?"
"What are you talking about?" Ye Feng laughed loudly, then said, "Now, don't worry about why I brought the blood contract. I'll ask you, are you willing to sign it?"
"Sign it, why didn't you?" Qing Xuan muttered, "Since you dare to sign it, then why wouldn't I dare?"
As the saying goes, a barefooted person doesn't need to worry about his shoes. Since Qing Xuan didn't successfully absorb the spiritual energy from the illusion array on the second floor, she was already at a disadvantage when dealing with Ye Feng.
To her, this blood contract only had benefits and no drawbacks. Naturally, she happily accepted it.
As she said this, she took the blood contract and gently extended her slender finger. Using her nails, she drew a line in the air and began to write on the blood contract.
… ….
When Qing Xuan finished writing the blood contract and handed it over to Ye Feng, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of a question.
"Wait, you only said that you wanted me to help you. What exactly are you trying to help you with?"
Ye Feng's gaze gradually became cold and stern. A smile appeared on his face, "About this …. "After training in the second level, I can roughly guess the situation on the third level. As for what exactly I need you to do, you can just follow me up."
He didn't say it out loud at the beginning because he wanted to make full use of the other party. It was a strategy and he wanted to leave some leeway for himself.
Qing Xuan agreed. The first and second floors of the Heavenly Mystery Palace were no longer anything to brag about. The most important thing was the third floor …
"Alright, I understand. Since we've already made a blood contract, we can join hands. There's nothing much to say. Let's go up and take a look at the situation on the third floor, then we can talk about the rest."
… ….
The scene of the two walking side by side, in the eyes of the people outside the Heavenly Mystery Palace, could be said to be incomparably shocking.
"This... "Daoist Master Zhao, did you teach those two to eliminate Wang Tian Zhi first?"
"That's right, Daoist Master Zhao. If we don't consider this matter from this perspective, it really doesn't make sense."
Daoist Master Zhao's face sank. "Bastard, you guys, you've been blabbering on and on ever since. Didn't I say it several times already? Ye Feng and Qing Xuan, today is the first time we've met."
"But …" The crowd looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
After all, after eliminating the two of them, Ye Feng and the other two would become the final opponents.
There was only one chance for him to learn the Dao. In this competitive mode, there was no way for them to work together.
Could it be as Ye Feng said, he left to awaken his talent?
Some people thought this way for a bit and immediately found their thoughts to be extremely laughable.
Awakening Talents was something that only occurred in the Xuan Gate once every 10 years. Even direct disciples would have no chance of being able to awaken it, but now, it was even the turn of a kid from Lei Zhou City's Martial House.
… ….
At the same time, Ye Feng and Qing Xuan were already standing on the third floor of the Tian Ji Palace.
A carved golden door was tightly shut, giving off a very solid feeling.
The two of them looked at each other and slowly pushed open the door.
