The Infinite Mystery

Qin Feng looked at his surroundings and found out that he'd already arrived at the same place where he used to meet Ye Zhiqui. He was currently standing not far away from the beautiful lake.

One thing greatly surprised Qin Feng. Back then, when he broke through to the Profound Spirit Realm and awakened his second battle spirit, this place was entirely destroyed. But now that he returned here, he was shocked to see that there was not a single trace of destruction left at this place. It was exactly what it used to be. There was not a single change.

Suddenly, Qin Feng felt something and turned around. He saw a light flashing and then, Ye Zhiqui appeared in front of him.

Looking at her, a warm smile subconsciously appeared on Qin Feng's face.

"You are here!" said Ye Zhiqui.

As always, a veil was stopping Qin Feng from seeing Ye Zhiqui's true appearance. He knew that Ye Zhiqui was an astounding beauty, but not being able to see this beauty's beauty really made Qin Feng feel helpless. He could not even tell what kind of expression was on Ye Zhiqui's face right now.

Qin Feng nodded his head. Then he waved his hand and Xu Shang was brought out from the Mysterious Space. She appeared in between Qin Feng and Ye Zhiqui.

The moment she appeared, she wanted to shout at Qin Feng but her master's face appeared in front of her.

"Master!" Xu Shang hurriedly greeted Ye Zhiqui.

Then Qin Feng, Ye Zhiqui, and Xu Shang chatted for a while. Xu Shang complained to Ye Zhiqui about Qin Feng like a little child who was bullied a lot.

Ye Zhiqui only smiled and on Qin Feng's request, she rejected the idea of letting Xu Shang protect Qin Feng. Qin Feng didn't want to grow under the protection of someone. Be it the hardship of life or the danger of death, he wanted to experience everything himself.

Ye Zhiqui only said two words: "As expected!"

It was as if she had already expected Qin Feng to be like this. It was as if she already knew about Qin Feng's character and knew that he doesn't like to stay under someone's protection.

After chatting for a while, Qin Feng returned back to the Profound Star Continent. He appeared exactly at the same place where he was standing before disappearing.

At this time, the people of the four sects had long left. Qin Feng also didn't waste his time here and left for the Heavenly Star Sect. It took him three days to return back to the Heavenly Star Sect where the principal welcomed his return with open hands.

.....

In the principal's office, Qin Feng was sitting opposite the principal. Other than the principal and Qin Feng, there was another person present here. He was the main examiner responsible for recruiting the disciples. He was also the one who tested Qin Feng back then.

The principal was still wearing the same white-colored robe. He was exuding a domineering aura.

Back then, Qin Feng was unable to see through the principal's cultivation base but now, he could clearly see that the white-robbed principal was an Early Stage Heaven Ascension Realm martial warrior and was about to break through to the Middle Stage.

In the Eastern Region, this kind of cultivation base was already one of the best. The principal could be easily counted as one of the strongest martial warriors of the Eastern Region.

The principal said, "Qin Feng, your speed of cultivation is really very fast. What did you think about going to the central region? The Celestial Star Sect will definitely become very happy after recruiting a genius disciple like you."

Qin Feng's purpose of coming here was exactly this. He immediately nodded his head and said, "Principal, I'm ready to go to the Celestial Star Sect."

"Good! Good!" The principal nodded his head two times and said, "I'll send someone with you to the central region."

"No, there is no need. I'll go alone!" Qin Feng immediately rejected the principal's goodwill of sending someone with him. He understood very well what the principal wanted to do but he really doesn't need anyone's protection.

The principal could only comply with Qin Feng. He didn't force Qin Feng with anything. He simply took out a silver-colored triangular token and gave it to Qin Feng before saying, "This is a recommendation token. After you arrive at the Celestial Star Sect, show this token to any elder and he'll immediately take you in as an inner disciple. From then on, you have to rely on yourself if you want to raise your status and become a core disciple. Let me tell you, becoming a core disciple will bring you a lot of benefits. I'll not explain much. With time, you'll come to know everything!"

Qin Feng nodded his head and thanked him. After that, upon being asked by the principal, he shared his experience of this past year. Then he left the principal's office and went to the bamboo forest to take a look for the last time.

He also visited Ding Jia Le and Mao Tingxia. These two were the ones whom he met after arriving at the Profound Star Continent for the first time. They were also the ones who introduced many things about the Profound Star World to him, and they were also the ones who brought Qin Feng to the Heavenly Star Sect so that he can raise his strength more smoothly and fastly.

Chatting with them for about two hours, he gave them a lot of resources that were already useless to him. He also gave each of them a vat of wine. He was now left with two vats of wine which was enough to let him break through to the Late Stage of the Profound Spirit Realm.

.....

The next day, Qin Feng left the Heavenly Star Sect and started his journey to go to the central region.

He has already gotten a map from the principal. With the help of this map, it'll not be difficult for him to reach the central region. Once he reached the Central Region, going to the Celestial Star Sect will be a lot easier.

Exiting the Heavenly Star Sect, Qin Feng arrived at Tianwu City. There, he went to the Hundred Beasts Hall, took a flying-type beast known as Thousand Miles Eagle, that can travel a thousand miles in a single day, and then he rode it before leaving in the direction of the Central Region.

It took Qin Feng another five days before he successfully left the Eastern Region and set his foot in the Central Region. Along the way, he passed many cities and spend some time in those cities gathering information about the Central Regions and powers there.

Since it was still the Eastern Region, he failed to gather much useful information but still, his knowledge of the Central Region increased by a lot.

Now that he entered the Central Region, he found that the Central Region was really very different from the Eastern Region. Just some random small city of the Central Region was already powerful enough to rival some of the smaller sects of the Eastern Region.

After reaching the Central Region, he freed the Thousand Miles Eagle. The Thousand Miles Eagle flew back to the Eastern Region, going for the Hundred Beasts Hall. Its job was done so it returned back to its home.

Right now, Qin Feng was about to enter a big city known as Black Blade City.

Black Blade City was one of the cities where a big sect was located. This sect was known as Black Blade Sect.

The Black Blade City was named after the Black Blade Sect.

The disciples of the Black Blade Sect were known for always handing a long naked black blade on their waist. The disciples of the Black Blade Sect were also known for their ferocity. It is said that the disciples of the Black Blade Sect were very cruel and would kill people if there was the tiniest bit of disagreement.

But since it was one of the big sects, no one dared to go against the Black Blade Sect till now. Even if someone dared to go against this sect, they were killed cruelly and even their families were destroyed overnight.

It was rumored that the Black Blade Sect has a powerful treasure known as Black Demon Blade. It was an Early Grade Heaven Rank Treasure. It was also rumored that this Black Demon Blade has an innate battle skill known as Black Demon Slash.

This Black Demon Blade was placed in the forbidden land of the Black Blade Sect and only when the sect faces the danger of destruction, the sect leader of the Black Blade Sect would wield the Black Demon Blade and face the danger.

The Black Blade City was currently very bustling because the Black Blade Sect has invited the geniuses of the Central Region to visit the Black Blade Sect and fight against the top core disciple.

Whoever wins against the top core disciple of the Black Blade Sect will be rewarded with this Black Demon Blade.
