Chapter 5: Nameless Kung Fu

  It wasn't clear how long had passed, but Ye Fei, who was lying on a stone slab, suddenly opened his eyes to find himself in a dimly lit space. The scenery around him was blurry and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly. He reached out to touch the pendant on his chest and felt a little relieved that it was still there.

  "Have I really arrived in the underworld this time? No, I won't die." After speaking, Ye Fei sprang up with a "whoosh". He recalled the scene before he fainted, it seemed to be a cyan python that had sealed him in ice.

  Was it the green snake that harmed itself? Thinking of this, Ye Fei shouted loudly: "Green Snake, where are you? What is this place?"

  Stillness, a dead silence, with no sound coming out, Ye Fei became even more puzzled and even somewhat panicked.

  Just then, Ye Fei's mind suddenly heard a cry of surprise. "Master, you're awake, great. Just fell asleep, hehe." As soon as the voice stopped, a black shadow suddenly appeared not far from Ye Fei, and with a mouthful of air, a pearl emitting soft light appeared in mid-air.

  The entire space was as bright as daylight, Ye Fei was caught off guard by this sudden light and squinted his eyes, after a long while, he slowly adapted to it and opened his eyes to take in everything around him.

  This is a cave, not very large, about 7 or 8 zhang in size. Underneath me is a flat stone slab, next to it is a small water pool, and the surrounding area is level ground. In one corner, the corpse of a three-legged giant toad lies there, stiffly placed.

  Looking at the cyan snake beside him, Ye Fei's tender face furrowed his brow, puzzled: "Big green snake, what's going on? How did I end up here?"

  "Master, you inadvertently got infected with a thread of the highly toxic Wàn Dú Chán's poison earlier. Your eyes are completely filled with poisonous threads. When I just recovered a bit of my strength, I found that your condition had already become very severe. So, let's quickly freeze you in ice and then go get the Wàn Dú Chán's bile to drink half each."

  "But you're too weak, this little bit of toxicity has already put you down for over a month, and you didn't even see me advance." The cyan snake said with some complacency, its eyes full of excitement.

  "Advanced? What's your current cultivation?" Ye Fei asked, somewhat puzzled. This big green snake was originally more powerful than himself, and if he advanced, it would be even more unbearable for him. When others didn't show their strength, Ye Fei couldn't see the specific cultivation at all.

  "Heh heh, not high, nuclear phase, it's about the same as your human foundation period. This is all thanks to that Blood Spirit Fruit and the treasures on Wan Duquan's body that I ate. Master, you're far behind me now." The green snake said softly.

  "Oh, I've been asleep for over a month, and during this time you've actually entered the nuclear stage." After a pause, Ye Fei said with a sincere expression: "Don't worry, after you help me escape from this cliff, I will definitely remove that master-slave imprint for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fei looked at the giant green snake.

  The giant python's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and it said in a low voice: "Thank you, master. I will definitely help you escape from the Thousand Cliff Crag. By the way, master, your cultivation is so low, how did you get in?"

  "Oh, so this place is called Thousand Rupture Cliff. Heh heh, I was accidentally transported here. Say, is there anything to eat? I'm a bit hungry. Slept for too long." Ye Fei rubbed his somewhat shriveled stomach and said in a low voice.

  The azure python said in a low voice: "There is, ready-made." After finishing speaking, it turned its head and looked at the three-legged turtle.

  "What? Eat it, isn't it poisonous?" Ye Fei's face changed slightly as he said.

  "Master, don't be afraid, we've drunk its bile, what's there to fear about poison now? Generally speaking, poison doesn't harm us anymore. This Wan Du Chan can be considered the king of all poisons here. So, our current master is almost immune to a hundred poisons." The green python said with a low laugh.

  Ye Fei nodded thoughtfully and said in a low voice, "Alright then, I'm really starving now, I have to get something to eat first. You help out too." As he spoke, Ye Fei walked towards the three-legged giant crab's corpse.

  "Master, please pity me. Look at me, I have no hands or feet, how can I help you? Besides, I'm still so young." The green snake begged pitifully.

  "Don't pretend to be pitiful with me, you're still young? I'm not even half your age." As he spoke, Ye Fei turned his head and glanced at the cyan python.

  "This doesn't seem right, and Ye Fei was startled, exclaiming in a loud voice: 'What? Are you still that big green snake from just now?' The original green python had vanished into thin air, and what appeared in its place was a three-foot-long small green snake."

  At this time, the little green snake looked at Ye Fei with a pitiful expression and said in a soft voice: "Master, you should know now that I am so weak. You can't bully me like this." After finishing speaking, a mist of water appeared in the eyes of the little green snake, with a pitiful look as if it were human.

  This scene made Ye Fei stunned for a moment, and then reacted, saying loudly: "Don't think that just because you've become smaller, you can pretend to be pitiful. Since you're so small, well, from now on I'll call you Xiao Qing. Alright, you're not needed this time."

  The mist in the eyes of the little green snake disappeared quickly, replaced by a cunning look. In a soft voice, it said: "Alright, master, I'll go outside and take a look, hehe." After finishing speaking, it slipped out towards the exit. Although there was a huge boulder blocking the entrance, the little green snake's body had shrunk small enough to squeeze through the gap beside it.

  Ye Fei helplessly shook his head and came to the corpse of the three-legged giant toad. With a single hand patting his waist, the Yuan Guang sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Ye Fei held the long sword and swung it at the abdomen of the three-legged giant toad, cutting it open with one slash.

  In a flash of movement, there was a crisp 'ding' sound. Ye Fei's long sword in his hand came to an abrupt stop, as if it had run into something hard.

  "It's strange, the sound seems to be metal. This yuan light sword is extremely sharp, yet it can't cut through this thing? Let me see what's inside your belly." As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fei split open the abdomen of the three-legged giant toad with one sword, and then began searching for the uncuttable object.

  A moment later, in a narrow slit that had opened up in his stomach, Ye Fei discovered an oval-shaped copper plate with rust spots all over it, roughly the size of a palm, with some sticky substance hanging from it.

  Ye Fei took a look, didn't think much of it, and casually threw it into the small pool. Then he cut off a few pieces of meat to fill his stomach, after all, that was the most pressing matter at hand.

  About an hour later, the small green snake outside the cave seemed to have smelled something, its eyes rolled over and it flew into the cave, saying: "Wow, this smells so good, Master will eat it." As soon as the words fell, it rushed towards the entrance of the mountain cave.

  At this time, Ye Fei had already roasted several pieces of toad meat. The small green snake's mouth was watering as it communicated with Ye Fei's divine soul: "Master, let me try one piece first, just in case it's poisonous, I'll take the risk for you and stand in front."

  Ye Fei smiled slightly upon hearing this, her small face reddened from roasting by the fire, and lightly laughed: "You little gluttonous snake, those few pieces are all for you, hehe."

  "Really? Thank you, Master. I didn't know Master was so kind. Then I won't be polite." As soon as the words fell, a three-foot-long green snake pounced on the roasted toad meat and ate it while constantly praising Ye Fei.

  At this time, Ye Fei also put the freshly roasted toad meat in his mouth and slowly started eating it. But before he could finish one piece, the three green snakes had already been swept clean, and then they stared at Ye Fei with their eyes wide open.

  Helplessly, Ye Fei roasted a few more pieces for Little Green Snake, and only then was it sent away, and he himself was also full.

  He stood up, wiped his mouth with a greasy little hand, and patted his belly. "Mmm, not bad, I'm quite full." Then he looked at the small green snake lying lazily on the ground beside him and smiled slightly.

  Looking at his dirty little hands, Ye Fei arrived at the water pool, squatted down to wash his hands, wiped his face, and suddenly remembered the copper plate he had lost in the water earlier.

  A moment later, Ye Fei took out the copper plate and rinsed it clean with water. He found that the surface was densely filled with small characters, all of which were spiritual texts used by cultivators to record their techniques. However, this technique did not have a name.

  "What kind of technique is this? It seems to be a cultivation method for the divine sense, but the divine sense is only available to foundation-building cultivators. Let's try cultivating it first and see what happens. If you want revenge, you need to become stronger, ordinary techniques are not easy to obtain in the outside world." After speaking, Ye Fei came to the stone slab, sat down cross-legged.

  With the copper plate in hand, he began to study it. He looked at it for a whole day and night, while the green snake, feeling bored, glanced at Ye Fei's focused expression without disturbing him, then slipped out of the cave.

  During this time, the small green snake also came back twice, ate the toad meat roasted by Ye Fei, and then went out alone. Ye Fei was studying the unnamed technique all along until the third day. Ye Fei slightly furrowed his brow and said: "This technique is much more profound than what I've seen before. Just the first half can barely be comprehended. Let's just cultivate this part for now."

  As soon as the words fell, Ye Fei put away the copper plate into his storage bag and then formed a strange hand seal with both hands, starting to cultivate. Meanwhile, the small green snake came back several times, each time seeing Ye Fei concentrating on cultivating something.

  "The master doesn't know when he can leave either, sigh." Little Green Snake thought to herself, and then she started going out of the cave alone, afterwards her returns became less and less frequent, even for the longest time, three to five days wouldn't see her return once.

  Like this, Ye Fei quietly cultivated alone in the mountain cave, and everything outside was ignored. It seemed like an old monk entering meditation, not moving at all.

  A month later, Ye Fei, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and two bright lights flashed in his cloudy eyes. His hands changed the spell. "Withdraw" With a low shout from Ye Fei, a ray of light flashed on his body surface, and a halo of light continued to flash out near his forehead.

  At the same time, Ye Fei only felt a buzzing in his head, as if it was about to burst open, as if something was slowly taking shape. He clenched his teeth, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from his forehead. His face was also deathly pale, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

  At this time, the light at the forehead slowly converged inward, forming a white light spot about the size of a bean in the skull. As time passed, it gradually became solid and rounded. Inside the light spot, an independent space of about three or four feet also gradually formed, with a faint blue mist flowing slowly inside like a gas.

  "This is the legendary Sea of Consciousness? This technique is indeed profound, even someone at my level can condense a Sea of Consciousness. This is something that only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage can achieve." Ye Fei put away the manual, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a somewhat childish smile appeared on his pale face.

  Suddenly, Ye Fei's mind stirred, his consciousness released and emerged, a feeling he had never had before arose, the surrounding scenery became incredibly clear, the pool in the cave, the giant toad's corpse, and the few flies beside the corpse were all within his conscious perception.

  Even within one's own body, it can be perceived clearly. This is also something that can only be done after having a sea of recognition, this kind of perception is even clearer and more real than what the eyes see.

  But when Ye Fei's divine consciousness scanned to a distance far outside the cave, there was only a vague sense of it. Ye Fei couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, saying: "It seems that for now, the range of divine consciousness sensing is only as small as this cave, exceeding ten zhang basically can't sense it clearly."

  Just as he was about to withdraw his divine consciousness from the cave, suddenly, as if sensing something, Ye Fei's face changed, and at the same time, a loud "boom" sound was heard. The giant stone at the entrance of the cave burst open with a loud noise. (End of chapter)
