The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

High above the sky.

Ye Feng was still contemplating the scripture.

After his previous enlightenment, he had obtained the upper volume of the "Heart of Life", and now, as he continued his observation, the contents of the middle volume were about to be revealed.

Throughout the process, he was very serious.

Any Heavenly Venerable Secret Art was of utmost importance.

According to legend,

once one collected all nine Heavenly Venerable Secret Techniques and trained each to perfection, it might be possible to comprehend the ultimate Great Dao, allowing one to break through the limits and transcend the Heavenly Dao Realm, becoming supreme in the Great Dao Realm.

Ye Feng couldn't discern the truth of this legend.

But still, Heavenly Venerable Secret Techniques were unquestionably powerful, and since he encountered them, he intended to take them all.

One hour later,

Ye Feng had pieced together the scripture of the middle volume of the "Heart of Life" and began to analyze the lower volume of the "Heart of Life" from the patterns formed by the Other Shore Flower Sea.

Suddenly, the wind stopped.

The Other Shore Flower Sea no longer moved.

This prevented Ye Feng from continuing to analyze the lower volume of the "Heart of Life", so he could only stop sipping tea and look towards Hu Feifei beside him.

"What is this?"

Seeing the wooden box in Hu Feifei's hand, Ye Feng's gaze pierced through the wood, saw the Wuxu Jade Mud inside, and his expression drastically changed.

"It's actually Wuxu Jade Mud!"

Ye Feng opened the wooden box, and then, looking into Hu Feifei's eyes, he asked, "Where did you find this?"

Hu Feifei pointed at the ground.

Swoosh!

Ye Feng pulled Hu Feifei down to the ground, saw the palm-sized stele, and also noticed signs of the nearby soil being dug up. He quickly activated the Eye of Insight for analysis.

After ten breaths.

"It's a formation!"

Ye Feng had a new discovery, pointing at the ground.

"There's a formation laid underground that absorbs the undying breath emitted by the Other Shore Flowers, permeating it into the Wuxu Jade Mud. Over time, the Wuxu Jade Mud would possess the quality of never eroding."

"And that is why you are undying and indestructible."

"However, I don't know who created you."

Ye Feng fell into deep thought.

Hu Feifei was a System reward, so it was highly likely that the System created her. Of course, it was also possible that someone else created Hu Feifei, and then the System used some sort of method to deliver her to him.

"System, System?"

Ye Feng's mind stirred as he inquired the System.

But the System was like a dead pig not reacting at all, seemingly unwilling to answer.

Despite the System's non-response, Ye Feng already had his speculation.

The System and the creator of Hu Feifei were definitely related!

As for the nature of that relationship, he could only find out later.

"This is becoming more and more interesting."

Ye Feng thought of many possible connections and couldn't help but slightly curve his lips upwards, handing the wooden box back to Hu Feifei.

"Princess, you keep the Wuxu Jade Mud!"

"Sect Leader, you don't want it?"

"What do I need it for?" Ye Feng retorted.

"But, it's useless to me too!"

Hu Feifei put away the Wuxu Jade Mud and spread her hands out.

"This Wuxu Jade Mud is the original version, but I have undergone multiple transformations now. In terms of hierarchy, I've gone much beyond these, as different as clouds and mud."

Ye Feng gave it a thought and felt it made sense.

Although this Wuxu Jade Mud also never eroded, compared to Hu Feifei, who had undergone Saint Manifestation, the quality of this Wuxu Jade Mud was much lower.

The gap between the two was just too wide!

For the current Hu Feifei, this Wuxu Jade Mud was too low-grade and of no use to her.

"Brother Ye! So you're here admiring the flowers!"

Chu Tianhe came near, found Ye Feng and Hu Feifei, and gave a cupped-fist salute, "In a few more days, Xue Er and Yue'er will have consolidated their cultivation levels, and then we can leave."

"No rush!" Ye Feng waved his hand.

"Why are you in no hurry again?" Chu Tianhe was surprised.

"I want to stay here and comprehend the secret techniques for some time before we go," Ye Feng briefly explained.

He did not disclose anything about the Heavenly Venerable Secret Techniques.

This matter was of great significance.

Although he had become friends with Chu Tianhe, their acquaintance was too brief to reach the point of complete trust.

Discussing ordinary Divine Techniques was possible.

But when it came to the Heavenly Venerable Secret Art, Ye Feng felt the need to keep some things to himself in case the news leaked, which would not be good for them either.

Chu Tianhe didn't probe further.

"I'll go back and protect Xue Er and Yue'er. By the way, the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey's cultivation level has solidified quickly; it can also leave seclusion in a few days."

With that said, Chu Tianhe returned to the vicinity of his wooden hut.

Watching Chu Tianhe's departing figure, Ye Feng sighed.

The Heavenly Venerable Secret Art was too high-end.

Once it got out, even peak powerhouses like the Sword God and the Thunder Emperor would be moved. Chu Tianhe's strength was not enough; even if Ye Feng passed the Heavenly Venerable Secret Art to him, he wouldn't be able to protect it.

Whoosh!

Another strong wind blew.

The entire Other Shore Flower Sea started rippling once again.

"Here it comes!"

Ye Feng soared into the sky, reaching tens of thousands of feet in altitude and stood at that original spot, quickly entering the state, and started to decipher the latter part of the"Heart of Life"from the patterns of the Other Shore Flower Sea.

This gust of wind lasted half an hour.

When the big wind ceased, all was silent.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged in the high skies, his mind now filled with the scriptures of the lower, middle, and upper volumes of the"Heart of Life".

However, the secret volume's scripture was nowhere to be found.

Even if Ye Feng enhanced his understanding to the maximum and activated the Eye of Insight, he still could not find any scriptures related to the secret volume of the"Heart of Life"from the continuously rippling Other Shore Flower Sea.

"How strange."

"Not to mention the complete scriptures, I can't even find a single rune; what could possibly be wrong?"

Ye Feng was at a loss for an explanation.

Having no other choice, he descended to the ground.

Atop a high peak.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, the golden scriptures of the upper, middle, and lower volumes of the"Heart of Life"appearing in his mind.

These three volumes were not long; together, they added up to only one thousand and eight words, and they were not difficult to cultivate.

"The beginning of life originates from the gene..."

Ye Feng began formal cultivation, his body gradually radiating vigorous life force that permeated every part of his body and continued to reach deeper until every cell absorbed the life force.

But this was not the highest level yet.

Ye Feng discovered that every particle of his body was absorbing the life force generated by the"Heart of Life", their connection growing tighter, breaking completely free from the mundane world.

"Marvelous!"

Feeling the vigorous life force cleanse his entire body, Ye Feng felt refreshed and increased the speed of his cultivation.

Half a day later.

Ye Feng had already mastered the upper, middle, and lower volumes of the"Heart of Life" at an incredibly fast pace, which even he found unbelievable.

"The difficulty in cultivating this secret technique is not great; the challenge lies in how to analyze the content of the scriptures from the Other Shore Flower Sea."

Ye Feng murmured.

"With my guidance, any cultivator in the Divine Origin Realm with a Divine Grade Physique could quickly master the basics."

"Right, let's test the effects."

Ye Feng brought his fingertips together to form a sword, slicing open his own palm, temporarily stopping the Time Flashback to ensure the injury did not disappear.

The next moment.

Vigorous life force appeared, and the wound healed instantly.

Ye Feng moved his palm, feeling no discomfort.

"Even without the ability of Time Flashback or being affected by the Time Curse, it's very hard for anyone to kill me now."

Ye Feng analyzed privately.

Though he had undergone a transformation, he was not quite satisfied because he had still not found the secret volume of the"Heart of Life".

Thump thump! Thump thump!

Ye Feng suddenly heard the sound of his heartbeat intensifying. Promptly looking inward, he discovered that the inside of his heart was covered with the scriptures from the upper, middle, and lower volumes of the"Heart of Life".

As his heart beat, some of the characters were flashing with a particular pattern.

Ye Feng felt an intuition and immediately perceived its significance.

"I've found it!"

"So it turns out that after mastering the upper, middle, and lower volumes, one can discern the key thirty-six words from within these one thousand and eight words, which are the secret volume!"

"The hiding place is profoundly deep!"

Ye Feng suddenly realized.
