Murong Xue, seeing Lin Feng growing wary of her, couldn't help but snort coldly, "Rest assured, I won't deal with you. After all, you just helped me."
Lin Feng then smiled and said, "We've just been through life and death together. If you sincerely want to thank me, just give me the treasure in your hand."
Murong Xue couldn't help but retort, "Why don't you go die?"
Of course, Lin Feng knew that Murong Xue wouldn't give him such a powerful treasure. He was just teasing her. Lin Feng looked at the treasure in her hand and saw it was three silver needles exuding a chilling aura, as thin as hair.
"What treasure is this?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.
"This is the Ice Divine Needle, made from Cold Iron refined from Ice Stone found in extremely cold regions. An array is drawn on it, infuse it with True Qi, and you can kill from a distance as easily as taking things from a bag."
Murong Xue couldn't help feeling proud as she spoke.
Lin Feng marveled, indeed, those from great forces truly have incredible treasures.
Lin Feng speculated that Murong Xue's identity must be extraordinary, otherwise, how could someone so young have such a treasure?
Though Lin Feng had some guesses about Murong Xue's identity, he wasn't very interested in knowing more. He planned to leave to avoid Murong Xue changing her face and dealing with him. After all, a woman's heart is unfathomable. Who knows if Murong Xue would change her mind?
Seeing Lin Feng about to leave, Murong Xue hurriedly said, "Don't rush off, I have a big deal waiting for you."
"Oh? A big deal?" Lin Feng stopped and looked at Murong Xue with surprise.
"Of course, I think your cultivation is not bad, and I plan to rope you in. Together, we can look out for each other." Murong Xue said.
"What is it? Tell me." Lin Feng said.
"This place is not suitable for staying, let's leave here and talk," Murong Xue said.
Lin Feng nodded and left with Murong Xue.
...
After Sun Kui and others escaped, they arrived at a valley where over a hundred people were resting.
"Young master, your subordinate has returned..."
Sun Kui quickly swept over and saluted a young man.
This young man looked about twenty years old, unusually handsome, but his long narrow eyes gave him an air of delicacy, making people feel uncomfortable.
This person was named Yuwen Yunfeng, the direct grandson of a Great Elder of the Soul Devouring Hall, of noble status.
"Why so disheveled?"
Seeing Sun Kui returning in such a state, Yuwen Yunfeng couldn't help but frown.
Sun Kui hurriedly said, "Young master, we ran into Murong Xue from Heavenly Saint City. We originally planned to capture Murong Xue, but unexpectedly, Murong Xue had a powerful magical treasure in her hand, and there was a young man assisting her, causing us to lose some brothers. Your subordinate immediately returned to report to you."
"Murong Xue?"
A sinister look appeared in Yuwen Yunfeng's eyes, "Back then, Heavenly Saint City and the other nine great ancient cities joined forces against my Soul Devouring Hall, almost wiping us out. I never imagined the granddaughter of Heavenly Saint City's City Lord would come to the Wilderness Jungle. We must capture Murong Xue; it will be a great merit to bring her back to the Soul Devouring Hall."
"Yes, young master."
Sun Kui and the others began to search for the whereabouts of Murong Xue and Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng and Murong Xue had already left.
Yuwen Yunfeng's face was quite grim, "Damn it, it seems that woman Murong Xue escaped. We've missed this chance. It won't be so easy to catch her next time."
"Young master, should we continue searching?" Sun Kui asked.
"Consider that woman lucky. Going to the Fire Demon Territory is the most important thing now."
Yuwen Yunfeng's expression was gloomy and cold.
...
As night fell, the campfire burned, illuminating Lin Feng's handsome face. Over the fire, some meat was roasting, turning a golden color and emitting a tempting aroma.
"So, can you talk about that big deal now? If it's feasible, we can partner up. If not, consider this meal our farewell." Lin Feng said.
Murong Xue took out a scroll.
"What is this?" Lin Feng asked.
"This scroll is called the Yin Yang Wuji Map." Murong Xue said as she unfolded the map. Lin Feng saw the front depicted a middle-aged man enveloped in clouds and mist, giving the impression of soaring through the sky.
On the back were dense patterns that, upon closer inspection, revealed a route map.
"The Yin Yang Wuji Map? What secret does this painting hold?" Lin Feng asked.
"The man in the painting is called Wuji Taoist. This Yin Yang Wuji Map records the cave mansion left by Wuji Taoist, which may contain the treasures, wealth, and even powerful martial skills he collected throughout his life."
Murong Xue said.
"Wuji Taoist? Was he very powerful?" Lin Feng asked.
"Wuji Taoist, with public participation creation, was a Yin Yang Realm expert. Do you think he was powerful?" Murong Xue said.
"Yin Yang Realm?" Lin Feng looked at Murong Xue in surprise. He only knew that cultivators could be classified as 'Martial Artist, martial master, Martial General, Martial King.'
As for the realms above Martial King, he was unaware.
Murong Xue looked at Lin Feng with surprise, seemingly astonished by his lack of knowledge about the Yin Yang Realm. She explained, "Cultivators are divided into three major realms, and each major realm is further divided into four smaller realms. The first major realm is called Earth Realm. In the Earth Realm, one trains the physical body, unlocking its potential. This major realm is divided into Martial Artist, martial master, Martial General, and Martial King four layers. Cultivating to the Martial King Realm can allow one to lift mountains, and the body reaches its ultimate development. At this time, cultivators will seek transformation."
"Once the transformation succeeds after physical body cultivation reaches its peak, it's the second major realm, called Earth Realm. In the Earth Realm, one begins to develop the brain, comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and cultivate Mana, similarly divided into four realms: Yin Yang, Creation, Life and Death, and Reincarnation. It's said that cultivating to the realm of Reincarnation allows one to escape the sufferings of rebirth, transcend the Three Realms and Five Elements, and achieve Longevity."
"And the third major realm, Heavenly Realm, is truly powerful. Cultivators in this realm will evolve the power of laws, mastering order, and are revered as Divine Spirits, worshipped by the world and receiving incense offerings. This major realm is divided into Void God, Divine Fire, True God, and Immortal four layers."
Lin Feng was deeply shocked within. He never thought there were so many realms beyond the Martial King Realm. It turns out, the Martial King Realm is merely the first major realm. Strictly speaking, the Martial King Realm still focuses on physical body cultivation. Cultivation is about the Dao, and training the physical body is merely laying the foundation for cultivation. Even stepping into the Martial King Realm is just groundwork. Yet in the history of the True Martial Country spanning thousands of years, the strongest was merely at the Martial King level, with no one surpassing it. This reveals how challenging it is to exceed the Martial King and reach the Yin Yang Realm.
Murong Xue looked at Lin Feng with her hands on her hips and said, "So, are you tempted now?"
Lin Feng said, "Seeing your sincere invitation, I'll agree. However, before we set off, we should agree on how to distribute the treasures in this Yin Yang Realm expert's cave mansion. I wouldn't want us to fight each other over uneven distribution."
"The Yin Yang Wuji Map is mine, so naturally, I should take more. I'll take seventy, you take thirty, how about that?" Murong Xue said.
"Deal."
