Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: A Whole New Path of Cultivation

Nantian Sword Sect.

Sword Saint Yue Xi and Nantian Chan Juan were staring at Ye Feng, watching as he transformed from the state of a Chaos Orb back into his human form, restoring his original appearance. They couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

"Is this... success?"

Sword Saint Yue Xi couldn’t help but exclaim.

"I can’t sense any trace of his aura. Could it be that his cultivation has been completely abolished, and he’s become a mortal?"

Nantian Chan Juan frowned and seemed worried.

Upon hearing this, Sword Saint Yue Xi began to worry as well. She quickly scanned Ye Feng with her Divine Sense but found that he truly seemed like a mortal, without the slightest fluctuation of power on him.

"Could it be... he failed?"

Sword Saint Yue Xi grew even more concerned.

But then, in the next moment—

Ye Feng casually reached out and crushed the void with his bare hand, creating a spatial wormhole that lingered for a long time, refusing to close. The two women were instantly shocked.

That simple, effortless move had already reached the level of the Hundred Tribulations Realm!

"What terrifying power!"

"Did he succeed?!"

Sword Saint Yue Xi suddenly stood up, her expression brimming with excitement, so much so that she didn’t even realize the teacup she held had shattered in her hand. "He must’ve forged a completely new path of cultivation; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly unleash such horrifying power so casually."

Rip!

The two women tore through the void and flew toward Ye Feng.

At the peak of a distant mountain.

Ye Feng waved his hand, smoothing over the spatial wormhole. He immediately turned around, looking toward Sword Saint Yue Xi and Nantian Chan Juan as they flew toward him, but he vanished from his original spot in the blink of an eye.

The next moment—

All three of them effortlessly bypassed the various Sword Dao barriers left behind by the Nantian Sword Emperor in the valley and landed in front of the wooden house where the Sword Emperor resided.

"Hiss!"

"Such impressive techniques!"

Sword Saint Yue Xi and Nantian Chan Juan looked around, realizing they had arrived at the Nantian Sword Emperor’s secluded dwelling. They couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

This valley emanated the Sword Emperor’s methods.

Even for an ordinary cultivator in the first layer of the Hundred Tribulations Realm, considerable effort would be required to break through the barriers.

Yet, Ye Feng moved through it all like no one was there, utterly unimpeded, truly astonishing.

"Ah!"

Nantian Sword Emperor put down his teacup and looked at Ye Feng. He found the handsome young man before him quite peculiar—no matter how he examined, Ye Feng appeared to be completely devoid of mana, merely an ordinary mortal.

Yet he dared not believe it.

Just based on Ye Feng’s earlier display of power, he clearly had strength at the level of the Hundred Tribulations Realm, capable of effortlessly overpowering anyone of the same rank.

"So... was it a success?"

The Nantian Sword Emperor asked with slight excitement.

Ye Feng released his grip on Sword Saint Yue Xi and Nantian Chan Juan, letting them down gently. He nodded and said, "It’s mostly a success. However, still... cough!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Every droplet of blood he expelled could tear the void, and if it landed on the ground, it could melt the earth and penetrate deep into the magma layer beneath the surface.

The front of Ye Feng’s garments was stained red with blood.

"Sect Master Ye, what’s wrong with you?"

Sword Saint Yue Xi hurriedly reached out to support Ye Feng, but when her hand was mere paper-thin distance from touching him, she found she couldn’t get any closer.

On the surface—

Her hand seemed to be grasping Ye Feng’s arm, yet the two remained separated by the thickness of a sheet of paper, which was incredibly strange.

"Thank you! But there’s no need to support me."

Ye Feng gently shook his head. "I’ve sustained a Dao Injury. Every now and then, it causes internal injuries and makes me cough up blood. But it doesn’t actually have any side effects for me."

He possessed the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability, "Heart of Life", and the ability of Time Flashback, which granted him a true Undying Body.

Even with a Dao Injury, he remained unharmed.

Not only could he not die, but he could freely cultivate without his progress being hindered in the slightest.

Of course—

The side effect was occasional trembling of his internal organs, resulting in a bit of blood vomiting, but it wasn’t a significant issue.

"A Dao Injury?"

The faces of Nantian Sword Emperor, Sword Saint Yue Xi, and Nantian Chan Juan all showed deep concern.

"This is a serious matter!"

"With a Dao Injury, won’t your cultivation be unable to advance?"

"Sect Master Ye, you should return to your previous state! Honestly, dual cultivation of magic and body is not a bad path."

The three of them successively reminded him.

But Ye Feng shook his head and said, "It’s really fine. Although I occasionally vomit blood, it doesn’t hinder my cultivation progress. All of this is within my expectations."

Upon hearing this, the three were utterly perplexed.

Suffering from a Dao Injury and yet not serious?

For other cultivators, even those in the Hundred Tribulations Realm, a Dao Injury would undoubtedly cause their cultivation to stagnate, impossible to advance further. But Ye Feng didn’t seem troubled.

"Rest assured, I’m perfectly fine."

Ye Feng shook his head again. "My situation is unique. In any case, the Dao Injury poses no real obstacle to me. Once I ascend to the Heavenly Dao Realm or find specific Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for refining, I’ll naturally be able to eradicate the Dao Injury."

"Alright then!"

Nantian Sword Emperor muttered softly.

Since Ye Feng himself assured them he was fine, they felt there was little else they could do but trust his judgment.

"Sect Master Ye, does this mean you succeeded? Did you open up an independent small universe within your body?"

Nantian Chan Juan’s eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at Ye Feng’s chest, imagining whether there was a boundless starry sky within, nurturing countless dazzling civilizations.

"Yes, I successfully opened up a small universe."

Ye Feng nodded calmly.

"Then can I enter your body to check out that vast small universe?" Nantian Chan Juan blinked her large, watery eyes.

"Cough, cough!"

Sword Saint Yue Xi hurriedly tugged at Nantian Chan Juan’s sleeve, hissing through clenched teeth: "You silly girl, how can you utter such outrageous nonsense? Bah, bah, bah!"

"What nonsense? I genuinely want to enter Sect Master Ye’s body. What’s wrong with that?"

Nantian Chan Juan looked utterly confused.

Sword Saint Yue Xi’s cheeks flushed red, suddenly realizing that Nantian Chan Juan was rather innocent, unlike herself, who had misinterpreted a perfectly normal comment into something suggestive.

"So it’s me who’s being improper!"

Sword Saint Yue Xi thought silently, deciding not to comment any further.

On the ground—

Though Ye Feng appeared to be standing on smooth lapis stone slabs, his feet were always separated from the surface by a paper-thin distance. Between them flowed the Power of Space. What seemed like an insignificant gap was, in reality, separated by an entire galaxy.

This was Ye Feng’s current state.

Even while standing still, without moving, ordinary Supreme Saints couldn’t break through his defense.

Any Divine Skills aimed at him would be absorbed and refined by the folded space on the surface of his skin, turning into energy for his body’s internal small universe.

As for the Dao Injury, he wasn’t concerned.

Ye Feng had detected a dangerous warning when he was piecing together this path.

Achieving invincibility at the same rank would inevitably attract some sort of great terror, and as his power continued to grow, the Dao Injury would intrude.

However, Ye Feng remained unfazed.

"While I was in the Void Realm, the Three-legged Golden Toad mentioned that those who achieve invincibility at the same rank would attract the attention of Cosmic Consciousness."

"Back then, I didn’t have a Dao Injury."

"But when I fused physical power, magic cultivation power, Laws, the Power of the World, and other forces into creating the small universe within me, enhancing my strength even further, that was when Cosmic Consciousness injured me and planted the mark of the Dao Injury."

"All of this is orchestrated by Cosmic Consciousness behind the scenes. But the question is, why?"

Ye Feng was perplexed.

From Ye Feng’s perspective as the ruler of his own internal small universe, he wouldn’t worry about raising invincible geniuses within it. Instead, he would be delighted.

After all, they were his subordinates.

No matter how formidable they became, they would be loyal comrades on his side. It was natural that he wouldn’t curse them.

"Could it be..."

Ye Feng thought he had stumbled upon something. "Someone is operating behind the scenes, manipulating Cosmic Consciousness to control everything? Doing this because they’re afraid others might surpass them?"

"Is that why everyone who climbs onto the Invincible Supreme List ends up plagued by misfortune, eventually leading to their demise?"

At this thought, Ye Feng’s breath froze.

He seemed to have uncovered a shocking secret!
