Chapter 1868 - 1896: Proof of Dao - Mid Stage [3 Updates]
Ye Feng didn’t have the slightest reluctance. Though the Green Lotus Pond could help him rapidly accumulate power and enhance his cultivation, it didn’t belong solely to him but to all the disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect.
As Ye Feng left the Green Lotus Pond, he looked relieved. The Qinglei Dao Sect elder noticed Ye Feng and showed a trace of surprise in his eyes: "Middle stage of Proof of Dao?" Ye Feng nodded: "Indeed, I’m at the middle stage of Proof of Dao."
Elder Qing Lei’s eyes showed a trace of disappointment: "I thought you could at least break through to the late stage of Proof of Dao."
Ye Feng smiled wryly and said nothing. Normally, a disciple at the initial stage of Proof of Dao who enters the Green Lotus Sword Pond can break through one cultivation level in at most ten days, and one month for two levels is easy.
But now Ye Feng had only broken through one level, which made Elder Qing Lei a bit disappointed.
But how could Elder Qing Lei know that Ye Feng entered the Green Lotus Pond not to break through but to heal?
Moreover, the power Ye Feng accumulated to break through is a hundred times that of an ordinary Martial Artist, which makes it far from easy to break through.
Ye Feng looked at Elder Qing Lei and cupped his hands: "Elder Qing Lei, then I shall take my leave now..."
Elder Qing Lei nodded, and soon, Ye Feng headed towards Cangjian Peak. Before long, Ye Feng returned to Cangjian Peak.
Just as he entered Cangjian Peak, Elder Qingguang’s separate courtyard’s voice transmitted from inside the room.
"Not bad, all injuries have recovered..." Elder Qingguang said lightly. A look of surprise flashed in Ye Feng’s eyes; he didn’t expect Elder Qingguang to notice that his injuries had healed.
After all, Ye Feng had previously defeated Dao Sect Zhuang Yu at the initial stage of Proof of Dao.
Nobody would have thought Ye Feng was seriously injured, but suddenly, the door of Elder Qingguang’s residence opened, and a figure flew out, landing in front of Ye Feng. It was a strong person at the Great Perfection stage of Proof of Dao.
However, that strong person had a fatal wound on his body, bleeding constantly, trembling all over, deathly pale, with all his power sealed, unable to move.
When Ye Feng saw the mark on the chest of that Great Perfection stage person, he immediately recognized it as someone from the Cangxuan Alliance.
Yet Ye Feng’s emotions remained unfluctuating, as if nothing could disturb him. Elder Qingguang slowly came out and looked at Ye Feng, asking, "Do you recognize him?"
Ye Feng shook his head, "I don’t know him..." Elder Qingguang nodded, not doubting Ye Feng: "Is he here for you?"
Ye Feng shook his head again: "I don’t know..." Elder Qingguang didn’t say much more, but raised his hand, then a Sword Qi directly pierced the heart of that Cangxuan Alliance’s Great Perfection stage expert, and the Sword Qi exploded like a lotus flower.
"Pfff~~~" In an instant, the body of the Great Perfection stage expert was shredded, completely dying.
And Elder Qingguang, as if he had done something very ordinary, did not mention the person again. Yet Ye Feng knew this person was definitely sent by the Cangxuan Alliance to spy on him, but was found by Elder Qingguang.
Elder Qingguang looked at Ye Feng: "Have you read the Sword Scripture?" Ye Feng nodded: "I have read it..."
"If there are parts you don’t understand, ask me." Elder Qingguang said simply.
"Okay~" Ye Feng didn’t refuse, although his Sword Intent was about to advance to the realm of the top-level Divine Sword, he did not doubt Elder Qingguang. Since Elder Qingguang offered to assist Ye Feng, it showed he was confident.
"Go take a look at the Task Hall. Every disciple of the Green Lotus Sword Sect has to do a task assessment once every ten years. You, as a Core Disciple, must complete at least one Earth-level task. There’s a mission to explore the Soul Devouring Clan ruins; you could give it a try!" Elder Qingguang said to Ye Feng, knowing Ye Feng needed experience, not just blind cultivation.
"Okay~~" Ye Feng nodded and then went to the Task Hall. Ye Feng had a great impression of Elder Qingguang. Elder Qingguang didn’t say much to him, but Ye Feng felt that Elder Qingguang regarded him as one of his own.
Whether it was the "Sword Scripture," the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on Cangjian Peak, or the Alchemy Herbs, they were all incredibly precious things.
Especially the "Sword Scripture," which if exposed would surely cause a bloody storm in the Cangxuan Realm.
Yet Elder Qingguang generously gave them to Ye Feng, and more than that, he helped Ye Feng eliminate the Cangxuan Alliance’s secret agent who had infiltrated the Green Lotus Sword Sect without asking too many questions about Ye Feng’s business.
This made Ye Feng quite grateful, although he had just joined the Green Lotus Sword Sect, everyone in the Sword Sect seemed to treat him well. Before long, Ye Feng arrived at the Task Hall of the Green Lotus Sword Sect.
"Feng Ye!" Just as Ye Feng entered the Task Hall, a voice reached his ear.
Long Yu excitedly approached Ye Feng: "Feng Ye, why are you here at the Task Hall? New disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect don’t need to take on tasks for twenty years; you can cultivate for a while before coming here."
Ye Feng shook his head: "I have nothing to do anyway. My master said there’s a mission to explore the Soul Devouring Clan ruins that’s quite suitable for me, so he sent me here..." The master Ye Feng mentioned was naturally Elder Qingguang.
Although Ye Feng hadn’t formally undergone the master-disciple rite with Elder Qingguang, in his heart, Ye Feng already regarded Elder Qingguang as his master.
Long Yu was excited: "You’re also going to explore the Soul Devouring Clan ruins? That’s great, we’re also going to explore the Soul Devouring Clan ruins; this task requires at least eight disciples to proceed, and we just need one more, so come with us!" Hearing Long Yu’s words, Ye Feng naturally had no reason to refuse: "Sure!"
"Feng Ye, come with me!" Then, Long Yu led Ye Feng to a group of disciples.
In that group of disciples, there were six people: three at the middle stage of Proof of Dao, two at the late stage of Proof of Dao, and one at the peak stage of Proof of Dao.
And the one at the peak stage was a woman, with two distinct Dao Patterns on her forehead.
