Chapter 2: The Destiny Stone Astrocompass

  No one paid attention to him, and Ye Feng was happy to be carefree.

  As for Du Feng's humiliation and the ridicule from those newcomers, Ye Feng didn't take it to heart. Hmm... fine, let's not deceive ourselves. Quoting a popular phrase from his past life, "magnanimous"? Please, if he could beat him, he would have already turned against him, don't give me any chances!

  Two lifetimes as a human, Ye Feng naturally understood that if one's abilities aren't up to par, then they can only endure in silence; anything else is just nonsense. The passion of youth, that's just the angst of a middle school student, a typical protagonist of a laborer's manga.

  Thus, Ye Feng effortlessly obtained the inner strength technique of the Iron Sword Sect, "Iron Sword Manual". This "Iron Sword Manual" is divided into nine layers, and when practiced to the extreme, one can enter the seventh layer of the acquired realm. If one were to progress further, they would have to seek out another secret manual for cultivation.

  Having obtained the internal skill cultivation method, Ye Feng returned to his dormitory that night and immediately began cultivating.

  Although his spiritual awareness was opened, it was in other aspects, such as reading books, which he could memorize at a glance, and playing Go or Chinese chess, where he could understand the game with just one move, and immediately rise from an intermediate level to become a national master.

  It's just unknown whether it is still applicable in this martial arts practice.

  It can be said that Ye Feng is now an ordinary person. Before the Post-Heaven Realm, one needs to cultivate Qi. As Du Fenghan said, this cultivation of Qi is also divided into three steps: The first step is to feel the Qi mechanism; The second step is to retain the Qi mechanism; The third step is to refine and transform the Qi mechanism.

  What is Qi?

  The mystery upon mystery, the door of all subtleties.

  The Tao gives birth to One; One gives birth to Two; Two gives birth to Three; Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and the interplay of the two gives rise to harmony.

  Mountains and rivers have energy, flowing water has energy, wind clouds thunder and lightning also have energy, all things in the world have energy. Climbing high mountains, the heart and chest are broadened, the energy mechanism exchanges with the body. Drinking flowing water, both body and mind are refreshed, the energy mechanism blends with the body. When the body is in a place of flashing lightning and thunderous rain, the energy mechanism enters the body even more, washing the marrow and thoroughly transforming the flesh.

  Ye Feng originally thought that as a modern person, cultivating with the "Iron Sword Manual" would be hindered by his scientific knowledge. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be surprisingly smooth.

  One breath in, one breath out, one cycle.

  But in the dark of night, soft moonlight shone on Yefeng's body, and all around him, as if a gentle white glow was emanating from him.

  This strange scene, if seen by people in the same dormitory, would surely be shocked. Among them, there are also people who feel the aura, but they have never appeared in this kind of strange scenery.

  Of course, Ye Feng, who was deep in thought with his eyes closed, wouldn't notice. He only felt as if he were in a warm ocean, extremely comfortable. All the acupoints on his body felt like they were being gently caressed by a soft, warm breeze.

  After a whole night of practice, he woke up early the next day. Not only did Ye Feng not feel any fatigue, but he also felt refreshed and invigorated. His face seemed to be surrounded by a faint, soft glow that radiated a subtle, shimmering light.

  The roommates were stunned when they saw this scene, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment. However, their cultivation was still low, so all they could sense was that Ye Feng seemed different from before, full of spirit and energy. As for what exactly was different about him, they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

  Even Ye Feng himself was frightened, because he had only used one night to complete the first two steps of refining Qi - sensing the Qi mechanism and retaining the Qi mechanism!

  Haha... it seems that heaven is indeed kind to me. I'm not a waste, I'm a rare talent that appears only once in a thousand years!

  Ye Feng looked up at the sky and burst out laughing.

  But he didn't tell anyone about it. He wasn't very clear how high the level of martial arts in this world was.

  Furthermore, for ordinary cultivators, refining Qi requires three years. Since the establishment of Tie Jian Men, even the most outstanding practitioners have only taken six months, but he completed the first two steps of refining Qi in just one night. It can be predicted that within a week, he will complete the refinement and advance to the Tian Jing stage.

  This is no longer about being excellent or not, but he has completely become a freak!

  The human heart is a terrifying thing. The tall tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Good things are what everyone wants, greed and jealousy are human nature. As long as people know about it, before they have the ability to protect themselves, it's inevitable that the strong will impose their own ideas on them, and then they'll be finished.

  Ye Feng had no choice but to defend himself.

  The following week, Ye Feng made the most of his time to cultivate. On the seventh night of cultivating the "Iron Sword Manual" mind method, at this dark and windy hour, extremely suitable for killing people and stealing goods, he finally crossed the boundary of refining energy and directly advanced two layers into the post-heavenly realm!

  In the three layers before the Post-Heaven Realm, even if it's an ordinary person cultivating, the total time required is only about seven months. An ordinary person would take three years to complete the Qi Refining stage, but Ye Feng completed it in just seven nights and directly broke through the first layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, entering the second layer. He didn't seem too surprised.

  Apart from this, there was another strange situation that had been bothering Ye Feng for several days.

  Since he came into this world, every night, he would have the same dream.

  In his dreams, a dazzling golden light would always appear in front of him, with a huge object several feet tall. At first, the object was blurry for several nights, but it became clearer and clearer later on.

  Finally, on the night he entered the second layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, that enormous object finally became clear, and it turned out to be a gigantic golden astrolabe! In the center of the astrolabe were engraved five large characters - "Destiny Stone Astrolabe".

  But that's all, and nothing else out of the ordinary happened.

  Ye Feng didn't take it to heart, but unexpectedly that afternoon, after lunch, he returned to the dormitory to rest. As he sat on a simple bed, a mechanical electronic sound suddenly appeared in his mind.

  Confirmed host, 'Golden Ancient Martial Soul' possession game system, possession complete, automatic update complete. Martial soul time-travel activated, mission activated.

  I'm so lucky, it's like whenever I want to sleep, someone brings me a pillow.

  Ye Feng was considering not long ago, after mastering the "Iron Sword Manual", what to practice next and with which master to exchange moves in order to achieve the fastest progress. With this self-contained martial arts system, wouldn't he have all the secret manuals and opponents he wanted?

  Haha... This is going to be bad!

  Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy will not be in danger for a hundred battles. Ye Feng immediately became familiar with this "Destiny Stone Roulette". In the end, he also discovered that this golden light flashing attachment game system had many wonderful places, but at the same time, it also had many pitfalls. The most pitfall was - as long as he died inside, then he would really be finished.

  Damn it!

  After browsing, I got a lot of information, and the following points are more important:

  Firstly, real people cross over. The martial arts skills they cultivate belong to their own attributes, the more effort they put in, the more rewards they get, and the system will never exploit them.

  Secondly, completely true. When you fart, it's just a fart, thoroughly disappearing from this world, without deceiving either the young or the old.

  Thirdly, the system will be activated on the first day of every two months and players can choose whether to enter. The time spent in the game will be automatically given by the system, but the first two times are two months.

  Fourth, the time in the game is one-to-one with real-time, that is to say, the longer the time spent in the game, the longer the time passed in reality.

  Fifth, every time the system is activated, it will notify in advance. Moreover, when the system is activated, tasks will be given according to the situation, and completing the task will also have rewards. Whether or not to give out tasks is decided by the system.

  Of course, failure to complete tasks also has corresponding penalties.

  As for rewards, there are many types, and the bigger the deal, the more you get.

  For example, rewarding a life.

  It goes without saying that after getting this award, even if you're farting in the middle of a speech, you can still shout like Grey Wolf: "I'll be back!" or "Two months later, I'll be a good guy again and come back to beat him until his nose is blue and face swollen."

  For example, you can bring the characters in Journey to the West into reality, or move them from one dimension to another... Do you want to know if Ling Wu's finger can pinch Xiao Li Fei Diao? Do you want to know who is more powerful between Guo Jing and Xiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palms? Complete the task and you'll see!

  For example, you can read files, for example, you can choose to start time and end time, for example, you can choose entry points. As long as you think of it, there is nothing that cannot be given - just complete the task!
