20: Chapter 20 Intercepting the Spoils, Saint-Rank Offensive Divine Technique

Under the enhancement of the Heaven Shaking Divine Power and Sword Heart Clarity, the cyan sword radiance was more dazzling, solid, and sharp than before.

Sensing an extremely dangerous aura from this cyan sword radiance, the Misty Heaven-Swallowing Python hurriedly twisted its massive body, trying its best to dodge.

However, due to its overly massive size, it was still struck by the cyan sword radiance, which carved out a wound over three meters long.

The Misty Heaven-Swallowing Python, ignoring the pain in its body, had eyes filled with terror and dread in its dark green pupils.

Dragging its bleeding body, it fled into the distance in a miserable state.

Watching the Heaven-Swallowing Python disappear into the thick fog, Yun Chenfei had no intention of intercepting it; instead, he turned around and continued his journey to Duanfeng Cliff.

Fortunately, he did not encounter any more Yao Beasts afterward, and Yun Chenfei arrived quite smoothly at the location marked as Duanfeng Cliff on the map.

"Lin Feiyu fell from the highest peak of Duanfeng Cliff, and that was how he found the Four Sacred Beasts Offensive Divine Art."

"The highest peak should be just a short distance ahead."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yun Chenfei continued walking forward.

Stepping over the craggy rocks underfoot, after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the highest peak of Duanfeng Cliff appeared before his eyes.

Standing at the edge of the cliff, he looked down into the abyss, which was an unknown number of meters deep beneath the thick fog.

A sudden sense of fear rose from the bottom of Yun Chenfei's heart; he felt as if a Vicious Beast, waiting to devour anyone, was hidden beneath the dense fog.

An ordinary person would feel terrified and their legs would go weak just by taking a look from the edge of the cliff.

I really don't know who gave that kid Lin Feiyu the courage to actually dare to jump down from here directly.

Suppressing his inner fear, Yun Chenfei stepped on the protruding rocks on the cliff face, slowly jumping downward bit by bit.

After jumping down about several hundred meters, he discovered a wide stone platform about five meters long on the cliff face.

With a light leap, Yun Chenfei jumped onto this stone platform.

The top of the stone platform was very flat; it did not seem to be naturally formed, but rather carved by hand.

On the cliff wall connected to the stone platform, there was a cave entrance over two meters large. Strangely, while the stone platform was filled with thick fog, there was not a trace of fog inside the cave.

Moreover, unlike typical caves, it was not dark or damp, and the scenery inside was clearly visible.

The cave was very spacious and seemed to have been inhabited; inside, there was a stone bed, a stone table, and four stone stools.

Yun Chenfei carefully entered the cave. On the other side of the cave, he discovered a bookshelf carved from stone placed there.

There were several stone boxes on the bookshelf; most of them were open and empty inside.

Only on the bottom layer was there a stone box that had not yet been opened.

With an excited heart and trembling hands.

Yun Chenfei slowly reached out his hand toward the last stone box.

Suddenly, a faint yellow light flashed on the stone box, gently repelling his hand.

"A Restriction?"

Looking at the stone box before him, Yun Chenfei said in surprise.

This stone box had existed for who knows how many years, and the Restriction on it had become very weak with the passage of time.

In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Yun Chenfei broke through the Restriction on it.

A beam of white light suddenly burst out of the stone box and flew toward the outside of the cave.

"Hmph!"

With a cold shout, Yun Chenfei extended his arm like lightning, grabbed the white light in his hand, and then muttered to himself in confusion.

"A Jade Slip?"

It is rumored that Cultivation Techniques above Heaven Rank all possess a trace of Dao Rhyme, and ordinary recording methods simply cannot contain this trace of Dao Rhyme.

Special methods must be used to pass down these Cultivation Techniques; it seems this legend is not without basis.

"These stone boxes were not necessarily opened by someone; it is very likely that the power of the Restriction disappeared, and the Heaven-Defying treasures inside flew away on their own."

"It would have been great if I had known about this place sooner."

Yun Chenfei thought with regret, then slowly pressed the Jade Slip in his hand against his forehead, and a vast amount of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

He seemed to see a figure performing a terrifying Divine Art before his eyes.

"Four Sacred Beasts Offensive Divine Art — White Tiger Slaughter Art!"

With one strike, the winds and clouds surged, and the heavens and earth changed color.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his Divine Sense, and the image before Yun Chenfei vanished.

"Is this the Saint-Rank Divine Art — White Tiger Slaughter Art?"

Recalling the scene of that figure performing the White Tiger Slaughter Art in his mind, Yun Chenfei was extremely shocked, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a fragment of the Saint-Rank Divine Art, White Tiger Slaughter Art. destiny value +1000"

"The System has detected a major change in the Late Stage plot. Host gains plot points +50."

Hearing the System's prompt, Yun Chenfei asked curiously:

"System, why didn't Lin Feiyu's Luck decrease this time, and why didn't a Luck backlash occur?"

"Friendly reminder: Only when the Host snatches an Opportunity that originally belonged to the destined protagonist will the protagonist's Luck decrease, subsequently triggering a Luck backlash."

"In other words, this White Tiger Slaughter Art is currently an ownerless object and does not belong to Lin Feiyu. As long as I obtain it before him, I won't trigger a Luck backlash?"

"Correct, the Host can think of it that way."

After Yun Chenfei obtained the Saint-Rank Divine Art, the Jade Slip dissipated.

"Snatching the Opportunity!"

"Hahaha!"

"Snatching an Opportunity that should have belonged to the destined protagonist without worrying about a Luck backlash—this feeling is truly great!"

He glanced at the sky outside, which was gradually growing dark.

"The aftereffects of the Heaven Shaking Divine Power are likely approaching soon. I'll stay here for the night and return tomorrow."

Yun Chenfei thought to himself.

...

The night passed without incident amidst various beast cries and howls.

When Yun Chenfei arrived at the stone platform and was preparing to leave, he suddenly had an idea and turned back into the cave.

Combining his fingers like a sword, he left a line of writing on the cave wall, then departed in a dashing manner.

I wonder if Lin Feiyu will be so angry that he vomits blood and dies when he arrives and sees this masterpiece.

Taking the cloud piercing boat back to Wangyue City, Yun Chenfei found a shop that purchased Yao Beast inner cores.

He sold all the Level 3 Yao Beast inner cores obtained from this trip to the Misty Forest, exchanging them for over three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

After deducting travel expenses, he earned nearly three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in total, and also obtained several Spiritual Plants and spirit fruits, as well as the more precious Saint-Rank Offensive Divine Art.

This trip to the Misty Forest was certainly worth it.

He returned to the Immortal Cave with satisfaction.

"Saint, you haven't been running out again all these days..."

Before Caixia could finish, Yun Chenfei gave her a flick on the forehead.

"Instead of Cultivating properly, what are you thinking about in that little head of yours every day!"

"Here, I brought you some immortal spirit fruits. I'm going into seclusion for a while; you go Cultivate too."

Yun Chenfei said, handing the remaining four immortal spirit fruits to Caixia.

"Thank you, Saint~!"

Caixia narrowed her eyes, happily holding the bright red, succulent immortal spirit fruits in her hands, and skipped away into the distance.

"Ding! Xuan Yue Sect servant Caixia, favorability toward you +5."
