Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, over twenty years had passed since the Golden House Courtyard incident. This period had brought tremendous changes to the Metaphysics Society. The faction that supported Lu Zhan had completely awakened to their mistakes, and the Metaphysics Society was now entirely under Jiang Xing's management. The arrangements for suppressing the Yin residences at both Golden House Courtyard and Jade Sea Villa were also reestablished by the Metaphysics Society.
It turned out that this place had been part of a Perfect World layout many years ago, aimed at stimulating a source of earthly energy to absorb Yin power. However, while setting up the formation was difficult, breaking it was simple. Once the events unfolded, the ability of Golden House Courtyard to gather Yin energy significantly diminished, reducing its influence on ordinary people to almost imperceptible levels. Nevertheless, the reputation of Golden House Courtyard as a hidden gem remained undiminished, and the fierce battle between Xiao Yefeng and Lu Zhan only intensified ordinary people's enthusiasm for residing here.
At this time, Liu Yiyi had also become an Extraordinary Person due to the activation of the Yin Jue Vein. Although her combat abilities were limited and she could not use Talismans or cultivate, her control over ice powers had reached an extraordinary level. Overall, Liu Yiyi's abilities resembled those of a Western Abilities User with ice-based powers but surpassed them.
Liu Yiyi was like an uncut gem; unfortunately, no one possessed the cultivation methods specifically for the Yin Jue Vein. Thus, she could only use its power to chill drinks.
However, benefits and drawbacks coexisted. Since being activated by Yin energy, Jiang Xing and Liu Yiyi would no longer have weak constitutions. Yet there was a downside: Liu Yiyi's lifespan had officially entered a countdown. Lu Zhan's repeated manipulation of Yin energy had already harmed Liu Yiyi's essence; at most, she could expect about a year left to live. This news deeply pained Xiao Yefeng.
The Baoyun Four Treasures Sword and Ling Xiao Ye Feng had yet to be found. Without the sword, Xiao Yefeng could not sever Yin energy; without Ling Xiao Ye Feng, he could not protect Liu Yiyi's essence. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng desperately wished to know how his father had altered the fate of that person from Yang Absolute Pulse back in the day. He longed to meet that person whose fate had been changed; however, all of this seemed impossible.
His father was dead, and there were no records regarding this matter in the inherited memories. Who was that person whose fate was altered? Besides his father, it seemed that people from Perfect World also knew something about it. At least Beast Elder had mentioned that many from Perfect World had connections with his father before leaving. Though he did not clarify it directly, it was evident from his tone. However, those extremists from Perfect World were utterly insane; obtaining information from them would be incredibly difficult.
One thing Xiao Yefeng was certain of was that his father did not possess the Treasure of the Cloud at that time but had reached a high level of cultivation nonetheless; perhaps that was foundational. However, entering True Spirit was not something that could be resolved through mere cultivation; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be stuck at that level.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng's concerns were just one aspect of a larger issue—the global Extraordinary Person community was undergoing changes. It seemed that recently in the East, treasures from ruins in Han Hai Desert had been acquired while Westerners also discovered another ruin. The originally scheduled guild arena battles set for a month later now faced uncertainties as Wa Country and Yue Country unexpectedly involved the Church in these contests. Moreover, this time the Western Holy See brought an irresistible incentive.
The victor would not only claim all treasures wagered but also gain development rights to an underwater ruin located beneath the High Seas. Several renowned dynasties once existed in the West, and this underwater ruin was said to be remnants of Atlantis—rumored to contain keys to ancient legacies.
Xiao Yefeng was taken aback by this situation because he himself possessed a portion of that ancient legacy key! The treasure map of Eternal Child was in his hands; additionally, there was Yan Zi's external route map from the East and internal route maps held by Green Sage and Charlie the Holy Knight from the West. Did this underwater ruin contain one of their route maps?
The struggle over this underwater ruin between East and West never ceased. Clearly, with Westerners presenting it as bait, they were well-prepared for this contest. The East had already agreed because the Metaphysics Society felt confident about competing in this High Seas arena. A group of twelve individuals each gained something during this month-long buffer period; some even found true understanding regarding their inherited legacies.
Under the leadership of Deng Yixin and Liu Entai, their combat power had increased by two or three times. The real reason was quite simple: previously, everyone had been practicing mostly incomplete techniques, but this time, the inheritance obtained from the Stellar Palace, although it consisted of lower-tier cultivation methods, was complete and authentic. The difference in capability between a complete cultivation method and an incomplete one was evident.
These individuals were all people who had accumulated experience over a long time. Their lifelong insights were now being unleashed through these complete cultivation methods, resulting in unprecedented improvements in their combat abilities. For instance, Mo Fei had soared from just entering Inner Force as an Ancient Warrior to the later stages of Inner Force. His mastery of Sword Technique had also become more refined, and with a spirit-grade straight Tang Dao in hand, his strength was formidable.
However, Xiao Yefeng noticed that every time Zitong looked at Mo Fei, there was a strange expression in their eyes—one that seemed to reflect back at them like looking into a mirror, as if seeing a junior or a successor. Mo Fei could also sense Zitong's gaze, which made him uneasy; he often avoided Zitong. Xiao Yefeng had asked Zitong several times why they looked at Mo Fei that way, but Zitong always deflected the question or reverted to their usual demeanor, leaving Xiao Yefeng puzzled.
Worried about Mo Fei, Xiao Yefeng had consulted divination four times over twenty days—reading fortunes and even bone readings—but found no issues. With no other options, he decided to let it go and urged Mo Fei to remain cautious. Yet deep down, he felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding that something unexpected would happen to Mo Fei; it was just a vague intuition without any actionable insight.
As for the pill Xiao Yefeng obtained, he had already learned from the jade slip of the Starry Body Forging Technique that it was called the Star Insight Pill. When all two hundred and six bones condensed into Symbol Bone, taking this pill would allow one to comprehend the primordial power of Zhou Xingchen and forge a path among the stars.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhan's defection to Perfect World and the subsequent disappearance of that organization left everyone in the dark about their activities. However, Xiao Yefeng felt that their reunion was not far off; he anticipated meeting them again during this trip to the High Seas.
The peaceful days passed quickly. Over the past month, Xiao Yefeng accompanied Liu Yiyi, Mei Mo'er, and Mei Mo'er's suitor on outings. Perhaps realizing her remaining lifespan was limited to just a year, Liu Yiyi requested leave from Liu Qing and resigned from all her duties. Not understanding Liu Yiyi's feelings, Xiao Yefeng followed her wherever she went. The four of them spent leisurely days together like two couples. Three days prior, Liu Yiyi had returned to Liu Family to be with her parents.
After some adjustments over three days, Xiao Yefeng boarded a special flight heading to the High Seas. Onboard were still fifteen people heading towards Han Hai Desert; however, unlike before, these fifteen were now filled with confidence. If your savings suddenly multiplied two or three times overnight, you would feel the same way—this was how everyone from the Metaphysics Society felt.
Compared to their previous trip to the High Seas, everyone was now much more familiar with each other. They exchanged insights along the way until they soon spotted the High Seas ahead. This time, since the High Seas were relatively close to Huaxia, they were among the first to arrive—though technically speaking, people from Wa Country were already waiting there.
This situation was unavoidable; while the High Seas were public waters, Wa Country had long claimed them as their territorial sea. No one paid them any mind; yet Wa Country took pride in occupying the High Seas while skirting around international laws. Thus, being first here was not surprising.
Huaxia and Wa Country were destined enemies; upon meeting each other there was little more than small talk before silence fell between them. This place served as an arena established by Extraordinary Persons and funded by various nations. Each country that mastered Extraordinary Persons built its own Rest Area with designated planning zones. Although they preferred not to be neighbors, Huaxia's Rest Area ended up right next to Wa Country's.
The self-funded construction resulted in a diverse architectural style; Huaxia's pavilions contrasted beautifully with Wa Country's traditional structures. To facilitate communication between them, connecting passages linked their buildings around a central arena—creating what resembled a vast villa complex spanning across the High Seas. After resting for a while, Xiao Yefeng returned to his room.
At that moment, just as Xiao Yefeng was about to open the door with his room card, a fragrant breeze wafted in from afar. A blurred figure swiftly darted past him and entered his room before he could react. After furrowing his brow, Xiao Yefeng chose not to expel the intruder; instead, he stepped inside and casually closed the door behind him.
Inside, a woman dressed in a standard server's white shirt adorned with lace trim, black suit trousers, and black high heels lay unabashedly on the sofa. Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down her shoulders as she reached up to wipe the sweat from her forehead. This simple action was enough to captivate even those masters of the True Spirit Realm of Hidden Energy whose mental fortitude was lacking.
Xiao Yefeng set his backpack aside and settled into an armchair. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his right hand and said, "You come to see me at this time? Aren't you afraid your teammates will find out? You should know that your every move is being watched within your team!"
