Murong Xue could see that he was on his guard and she involuntarily snorted coldly. “Don’t worry, I won’t act against you. After all, you did help me out earlier.”

Only now did Lin Feng laugh. He spoke, “We can be considered to have undergone a trial of life and death together. If you truly want to thank me, why don’t you give the treasures in your hand to me?”

Murong Xue snorted, “Why don’t you go to hell?”

Lin Feng naturally knew that it was impossible for Murong Xue to give him such a valuable treasure. He was merely teasing her. He glanced at the treasure in her hand and noticed that they were radiating an icy aura. They were silver in color and thin as hair.

“What treasure is that?” Lin Feng asked.

“These are known as the Frost Ice Divine Needles. They were forged from a type of stone known as the Frostice Stone that only exists in places of extreme coldness. After that, a formation made up of runic words was engraved onto them. Upon infusing them with true qi, they can be controlled easily and kill people through the air,” Murong Xue explained.

Lin Feng guessed that this Murong Xue would surely have an extraordinary identity. If not, how could she have a treasure like this given her young age?

Although Lin Feng had some speculations about Murong Xue’s identity, he wasn’t interested to find out more. He was planning to leave in case Murong Xue suddenly turned on him. If Murong Xue used her needles on him, things would be extremely troublesome.

Upon seeing that Lin Feng was about to leave, Murong Xue hurriedly spoke, “Don’t leave so quickly. I have a huge transaction here waiting for you.”

“Huh? A huge transaction?” Lin Feng stopped, staring at Murong Xue in puzzlement.

“Naturally. I can tell that your cultivation isn’t bad; hence, I plan to let you join me in this. With two people, we can help each other if the need arises,” Murong Xue spoke.

“What’s the transaction? You might as well tell me.”

“We shouldn’t stay here for long. Let’s leave here before we talk,” Murong Xue replied.

Lin Feng nodded and left together with Murong Xue.

…

After Sun Kui and the others fled, they came to a ravine. Within it, about a hundred people were currently resting.

“Young master, this subordinate has returned.” Sun Kui quickly moved over and bowed courteously to a guy.

This young master looked to be about twenty in age. He was extremely handsome, but his long and narrow eyes caused him to emit a sinister aura and made people feel very uncomfortable around him.

This man is named Yuwen Yunfeng. He was a grandson of one of the grand elders in the Soul Devouring Hall. His status was extremely esteemed there.

“Why are you guys in such a pathetic state?” Upon seeing the miserable state Sun Kui was in, Yuwen Yunfeng couldn’t help but frown.

Sun Kui hurriedly spoke, “Young master, we encountered Murong Xue of Skysaint City. I initially wanted to capture her, but I didn’t expect her to have a treasure of such power. Also, there was a brat helping her at the side. This caused us to lose quite a few brothers. Hence, this subordinate decided to rush back and report this to young master.”

“Murong Xue?” Yuwen Yunfeng’s eyes gleamed with a sinister light. “Back then, the Skysaint City and the other nine ancient cities joined forces and acted against our Soul Devouring Hall, almost completely annihilating us. I didn’t expect that the granddaughter of the Skysaint City Lord would come to the Desolate Forest today. We must capture her for sure. After that, when we bring her back to our sect, we would surely achieve huge merits.”

“Yes, young master.”

This group of a hundred people began to move out. They went to the place where Sun Kui and Murong Xue had fought earlier, but Murong Xue and Lin Feng had long since left the area.

“They won’t be able to move too far. Split up and search!”

“Yes!”

The cultivators from the Soul Devouring Hall split up and searched for Lin Feng and Murong Xue’s location. However, there seemed to be no traces at all.

Yuwen Yunfeng’s expression turned extremely ugly. “Damn, seems like that woman Murong Xue has managed to flee. We have missed this chance to capture her, and it wouldn’t be so easy if we wish to capture her again in the future.”

“Young master, should we continue to search?” Sun Kui asked.

“No. Consider that woman lucky. We have to head to the territory of fire devils to obtain an even more important thing.” Yuwen Yunfeng’s expression turned dark.

…

Night descended. A small fire was set up, casting a red shade on Lin Feng’s handsome face. Above the fire, they were actually barbequing meat. Now, the meat had already turned golden and emitted an alluring fragrance.

“You can tell me what’s the huge transaction about already, right? If it’s really good, we can cooperate. If not, we will treat this meal as a parting meal,” Lin Feng directly spoke.

Murong Xue then took out a diagram scroll.

“What is this?” Lin Feng asked.

“This diagram is known as the Yin Yang Infinite Diagram,” Murong Xue spoke and opened up the scroll. Lin Feng could see a middle-aged man in the diagram that was surrounded by clouds and mist. He gave off the feeling like he was an immortal, riding the clouds and mist.

Behind the diagram, there were many densely-packed lines. If one observed closely, one could see that this was actually a roadmap.

“Yin Yang Infinite Diagram? What secrets are contained in it?” Lin Feng asked.

“The man in the diagram is known as Daoist Wuji. This Yin Yang Infinite Diagram records a cave Daoist Wuji left behind. Within it, there might be treasures and riches, including some powerful martial skills collected by Daoist Wuji in his lifetime,” Murong Xue spoke.

“Daoist Wuji? Is this man very powerful?” Lin Feng asked.

“Daoist Wuji is skilled in creation art and is an expert at the Yin Yang Realm. Tell me, is he powerful or not?” Murong Xue spoke.

“Yin Yang Realm?” Lin Feng stared at Murong Xue with a puzzled look on his face. He only knew that cultivators could be classified into ‘martial student’, ‘martial master’, ‘martial general’ and ‘martial king’.

As for the cultivation realms above the Martial King Realm, he had no idea about them at all.

Murong Xue glanced at Lin Feng in astonishment, as though she was somewhat shocked that Lin Feng didn’t know about the ‘Yin Yang Realm’. She then explained, “Cultivation can be split into three great levels. For the first level, it is divided into four minor realms. For the first great level, it is also known as the Human Realm. The purpose of the Human Realm is to allow a cultivator to temper and unleash the potential of his body. This first level is divided into the four realms of martial student, martial master, martial general, and the martial king. At the Martial King Realm, one’s strength can move mountains, and one’s body would be developed to the limit. At that point, the cultivator would seek opportunities for a transformation.

“After one’s body is tempered to the limit, if they succeeded in the transformation, they would enter the second great level, also known as the Earth Realm. Their minds would then start to develop further as they comprehend the Heavenly Daos and cultivate magic power. It is also similarly divided into four minor realms known as the Yin Yang Realm, Creation Realm, Life and Death Realm and the Reincarnation Realm. It’s rumored that if one cultivated to the Reincarnation Realm, they can be freed from the suffering of the reincarnation cycle and leap out of the three realms. They will no longer be part of the five elements and can gain eternal life.

“As for the third great level, it is known as the Heaven Realm. That is a truly godlike realm. Cultivators of that realm can directly use the power of laws and control the order of the world. They are like deities and gods far above, enjoying the worship of all mortals, as well as the baptism of joss flames. This realm can be divided into four minor realms namely the False God Realm, Godfire Realm, True God Realm, and the Indestructible Realm.”

Lin Feng felt extremely shocked. He had never imagined that after the Martial King Realm, there were still so many cultivation realms. So it turned out that the Martial King Realm was merely the strongest realm at the first great level. Strictly speaking, the Martial King Realm was still the tempering of one’s body. Dao cultivation, dao cultivation… What one cultivated was ultimately the Dao. The tempering of one’s body was merely forging a foundation. Even if one entered the Martial King Realm, that would only be forging a foundation to cultivate the Dao. But in the True Martial Country, the strongest experts were merely martial kings. In the few thousand years of history of the True Martial Country, there hadn’t been any experts that surpassed the martial kings. From this, one could tell that it was immensely difficult if one wanted to break through the Martial King Realm and enter the Yin Yang Realm.

Murong Xue glanced at Lin Feng. She placed her hands on her sexy waist as she asked, “So how? Are you keen or not?”

Lin Feng replied, “Seeing that you are inviting me so sincerely, I will agree to it. However, we have to discuss the terms properly before we set off. After we found the cave of the Yin Yang Realm expert, how should we split the treasures in the cave? I don’t wish for us to fight each other over the treasure distribution.”

“The Yin Yang Infinite Diagram is mine. I will take 70% of the spoils and you will get 30%,” Murong Xue spoke.

“Deal.”
