60: Chapter 60 The True World
In the following month,
Chu Feng's pace of life became even tighter, very tight, very tight.
Working at sunrise, not resting at sunset, toiling day and night...
Every three days,
He would follow Jiang Miaoyi out of Nanyun City, heading to the outskirts of the Black Cloud Mountain Range several hundred miles away.
Jiang Miaoyi would usually pick Yao Beasts with strength equivalent to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment as his opponents.
From initial awkwardness to gradually learning to predict the movements of Yao Beasts, rationally combining Talismans with different effects, and utilizing the terrain...
Chu Feng's combat experience grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Miaoyi didn't speak much, but every bit of guidance hit the mark; occasionally, she would personally demonstrate, and the agility of her movement and the ferocity of her strikes also benefited Chu Feng immensely.
Such days were busy, fulfilling, and even somewhat dull.
But Chu Feng adapted quickly and felt a sense of peaceful satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
He knew very well that the path of immortal cultivation was long; the vast majority of Cultivators struggle in bitter cultivation their entire lives, yet often progress slowly and see no hope.
But he possessed a "shortcut" that others could hardly reach; every drop of effort could be exchanged for a tangible improvement far exceeding that of ordinary people.
This positive, continuous feedback was the greatest motivation that supported his willingness to endure this "dullness."
A month's time passed in the blink of an eye.
This day.
Chu Feng was Cultivating in his quiet room.
The true disciple jade token floating in front of him suddenly lit up on its own with a soft white light.
The ancient patterns on the surface seemed to come alive, flowing slowly.
"The update is complete?" With a thought, Chu Feng followed Jiang Miaoyi's previous reminder and slowly probed his Divine Sense into the jade token.
Unlike before, when it was only for receiving information and transmitting voices.
This time, as soon as his Divine Sense made contact with the true disciple jade token,
He felt a gentle yet irresistible strange pulling force coming from deep within the true disciple jade token, gently "grasping" his mental consciousness.
"This is..."
Before he could think further, Chu Feng felt a slight tremor in his Niwan Palace; the vast majority of his mental consciousness had already detached from his body, pulled by that force and cast into an unfamiliar place.
After a brief moment of daze, Chu Feng "opened his eyes."
He found himself standing in an extremely narrow square space, its length, width, and height no more than ten feet.
The surrounding walls presented a milky white color that was neither metal nor jade, emitting a soft light that illuminated this tiny "room."
The room was empty, except for the wall directly facing him, where several lines of faint golden runes vaguely appeared, seemingly some kind of guiding text, but his mind was not yet settled, and he hadn't had time to look closely.
"This place... is the internal space of the updated jade token? It can actually allow Divine Sense to materialize and take shape?" Chu Feng was shaken.
This method was clearly far more sophisticated and mysterious than simple communication!
He tried to move this "body" condensed from Divine Sense and felt that although it was different from his real Physical Body, his movements and thoughts were not hindered.
After curiously observing this strange space, Chu Feng had a slight thought of "exiting."
The next moment, that pulling force reappeared, and his mental consciousness withdrew rapidly from the jade token like an ebbing tide.
Inside the quiet room.
The cross-legged original body of Chu Feng slowly opened its eyes, a trace of surprise and deep thought remaining in them.
He picked up the true disciple jade token floating in front of him, which seemed to have a more warm and restrained luster, and gently rubbed it with his fingertips.
"Inside the jade token... a stable space that can accommodate Divine Sense has actually been opened up."
"This is definitely not something an ordinary Magical Artifact can do; the technology the Sect updated this time is indeed extraordinary."
Chu Feng murmured in a low voice, faintly sensing that this small true disciple jade token would likely become one of the core hubs for all True Disciples' activities and competition after the Sect's new system was implemented.
He held the true disciple jade token in his hand and slowly probed his Divine Sense in again.
This time, he no longer resisted that pulling force, but prepared to properly explore this brand-new... True Disciple World, which seemed to herald the start of a period of fierce competition.
[Treasury], [Ranking List], [Trials], [Communication]...
For a Disciple who had just entered the True Disciple sequence and had a shallow Foundation, tangible resources were the core.
Therefore, the first thing his mind locked onto was the word [Treasury].
As his thoughts concentrated, the originally blank wall of the narrow house rippled with spiritual light like water, slowly outlining the silhouette of an ancient stone door.
Spiritual light converged on the door, finally condensing into two steady characters—Treasury.
Chu Feng took a deep breath and reached out to push open the door.
The scene behind the door suddenly opened up, as if he had entered another vast space.
It was no longer a narrow room, but the phantom of a magnificent hall.
Countless points of light were suspended and arranged like stars.
They were neatly partitioned according to major categories such as "Cultivation Technique," "Medicinal Pill," "Magic Treasure," "Spiritual Talisman," "Puppet," "Formation"... and so on.
Under each type of resource, there were clear small characters marking the required contribution points and the Rank required for exchange.
He had some contribution points, but the word "Rank" was like an invisible threshold.
"View Talisman Scriptures," Chu Feng spoke.
In an instant.
The vast sea of various resource light points around him receded like a tide, leaving only a series of scriptures and classics, some illusory and some solid, emitting different auras, emerging in such density that a rough count revealed over a hundred.
They floated quietly, some with restrained brilliance, others with flickering runes.
Chu Feng's gaze was first attracted by the one at the very front.
Its entire body seemed to be composed of purple-gold spiritual light, with a natural Daoist charm, named the "Heavenly Talisman Scripture."
Looking at the contribution points marked below it, it was indeed a staggering astronomical figure, leaving other scriptures far behind.
"As expected of the one at the top; it's probably the peak technique of the Duobao Pavilion's Dao of Talismans Legacy."
He glanced at other Talisman scriptures, such as "Detailed Explanation of Basic Talismans," "Essentials of Five Elements Talisman Methods," "Record of Cloud Seals," and so on.
Although there were many titles, the contribution requirements were worlds apart compared to the Heavenly Talisman Scripture, and the depth of the principles contained within must also be vastly different.
He only casually browsed through a few introductions and lost interest in further exploration.
With the mountain of the Heavenly Talisman Scripture in front of him, looking at these inevitably gave him the feeling that having seen the ocean, no other water can compare.
Settling his mind, Chu Feng suppressed his desire for the second volume of the Heavenly Talisman Scripture, and his thoughts turned again, with a hint of testing and expectation: "View treasure-grade resources!"
Whoosh—
All the phantoms of the Talisman scriptures around him vanished without a trace in an instant.
Immediately after, exquisitely shaped jade boxes emitting faint Seal fluctuations appeared out of thin air, neatly arranged in the void.
Each jade box was shrouded in a different precious light—some verdant, some with flowing red flames, some heavy as earth—and one could vaguely feel the extraordinary spiritual resonance of the objects sealed within.
"I can really see them!"
