Chapter 135: Oh no, the cave has collapsed!
“Tsk…”
“Gulp!”
On the stone walls of the cave, pearls embedded in the surface emitted a soft glow.
Through a sheer, gossamer curtain, shadowy figures intertwined.
At this moment, Qing Dai gazed at Lin Feng, her eyes brimming with sweetness. For thousands of years, she felt a piece of her heart was missing. Just a little something was awry.
Back then, she had accidentally stomped onto Lin Feng’s trap but, in a twist of fate, she gained the cultivation methods he imparted.
“Maybe from that moment on…”
“I was doomed to be in this guy’s palm!”
Qing Dai mumbled to herself, her gaze dropping. Lin Feng, who was blissfully absorbing spirit milk for a thousand years, made her feel a tad bit frustrated: “This guy costs me a fortune every time we meet!”
Unbeknownst to her, Lin Feng was feeling a bit nervous himself. While he was immensely powerful and knowledgeable, this was the first time he was facing something so darn impressive!
Lin Feng silently thought, “This is incredibly mind-blowing!”
Thus, his heart was a cocktail of excitement and anxiety, unsure how to express it.
“Whew…”
Time slipped by. In the quiet bedroom, a sound of breathing broke the silence.
One night passed with no words exchanged.
———
Morning broke.
The mist hadn’t lifted, and the wind still carried a chill.
By the lake, Ye Qingge, Yuan Ruoyu, and the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor had been waiting quite some time.
Standing at their spot, they could just see the cave entrance.
That was originally Ye Qingge’s cave, but now it belonged to Qing Dai.
Her goal had been accomplished.
“She should be coming out soon, right?”
A sly glint flashed in Ye Qingge’s eyes as she chuckled, “I have long since seen that Qing Dai has deep feelings for Lin Feng. If we don’t give her a little push, she might take forever to figure things out!”
Ye Qingge thought back to the years past—wasn’t she in the same boat?
In a sense, Qing Dai was just like her: proud at heart, not one to easily express emotions.
Yuan Ruoyu frowned and said, “Isn’t this moving a bit too fast?”
She could see what Ye Qingge was up to but felt it was too bluntly forceful.
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor stood silently beside them, observing.
“Time is of the essence; we can’t afford to waste any more!”
Ye Qingge shook her head dismissively, “Though Lin Feng keeps quiet, the enemy we’re facing this time is bound to be stronger than ever. Otherwise, why would he need to call us for help?”
“Qing Dai carries the chaotic spirit milk, and she is a crucial piece of this puzzle.”
Ye Qingge paused for a moment then continued, “Besides, we’re just giving her a gentle nudge!”
That was indeed true…
Yuan Ruoyu thought for a moment and smiled; at this point, her words wouldn’t matter.
Plus, it seemed the outcome was around the corner!
Minutes trickled by, and before they knew it, two hours had passed, but still, no sign of movement from the cave.
“Why haven’t they come out yet?”
Ye Qingge couldn’t help but quip, gritting her teeth, “Is this guy planning to hibernate for half a month?”
Yuan Ruoyu: “…”
Purple Paulownia Great Emperor: “…”
At that, a moment of silence fell over the group. What on earth was taking so long?
Yuan Ruoyu recalled something and blushed a little before saying, “In normal circumstances, it’s definitely possible. But right now, he shouldn’t!”
“Lin Feng knows the urgency of the situation!”
Ye Qingge scoffed silently.
Just then, the usually quiet Purple Paulownia Great Emperor chimed in, “Let’s wait a bit longer!”
So the ladies lingered by the lake, chatting while they waited.
Yet, time dragged on with no sight of Lin Feng and Qing Dai.
Unknowingly, another two hours crawled by, and if this kept up, evening would fall soon.
Ye Qingge’s expression darkened, gritting her teeth again, “This guy is still acting like a starving wolf.”
Yuan Ruoyu smiled helplessly.

But her gaze towards the cave was laced with confusion; she couldn’t believe Lin Feng would behave indulgently at such a critical moment.
“What if something went wrong?”
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor hesitated slightly, finally voicing her concerns.
Ye Qingge snorted in discontent, “What could possibly go wrong? There’s no danger inside this Celestial Mansion.”
“Let’s go take a look!”
As she said this, she leaped forward, and Que Ruyi and the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor hesitated briefly before following her.
Ye Qingge was anxiously thinking, “I want to see what kind of excitement there is!”
But just at that moment, a shocking commotion erupted from deep within the cave.
Boom!
An incomparably vast surge of magical power shot up into the sky, forming a massive pillar reaching for the heavens.
“What on earth is that?”
Que Ruyi’s eyes widened, steadied herself, and didn’t dare rush in.
“What a remarkable surge of magical power!”
“Something’s definitely up!”
Ye Qingge and the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor also steadied themselves, their eyes filled with shock.
As they were pondering, KABOOM! The cave exploded dramatically.
Before they could move closer again, a flash of blue light appeared before them, and Qing Dai had already materialized in front of them.
At this moment, Qing Dai’s face was flushed, her gown somewhat disheveled, her hair loose and looking a little frazzled.
She looked at Ye Qingge and the others, her eyes flickering with shyness.
Que Ruyi, seeing she was alright, sighed in relief but still asked with concern, “What happened? How did you end up collapsing the perfect cave?”
Ye Qingge glanced at her and bluntly remarked, “Qing Dai, you sure took it up a notch!”
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor stayed silent.
As soon as that was said, Qing Dai’s face flushed bright red, as if embarrassed by a firestorm, almost wishing to dig herself into the ground.
“It’s not what you think…”
“So what happened?”
Qing Dai hesitated for a moment, then steeled herself to explain, “It’s… Lin Feng suddenly reached his magical limit and broke through!”
Ye Qingge still looked skeptical, pressing on with, “Just like that? He wasn’t even in seclusion or anything, so how did he manage a breakthrough?”
It’s notable that Lin Feng had already reached the pinnacle of a practitioner’s realm!
To break through again was an exceedingly difficult feat, far beyond what ordinary practitioners would comprehend.
And he wasn’t in any secluded training… just took a nap… and received enlightenment?
Not only Ye Qingge, but even Que Ruyi and the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor shared the same doubts.
All eyes unconsciously fell on Qing Dai.
Gritting her teeth once more, Qing Dai declared, “He drank way too much chaotic spirit milk at once!”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingge and the others fell into silence.
Then, they involuntarily glanced at Qing Dai’s chest, and indeed, it seemed much smaller than it had yesterday.
It didn’t look so exaggerated anymore.
Ye Qingge thought privately, “That guy treats chaotic spirit milk like water!”
In this world, no one else had such a privilege!
After Qing Dai finished speaking, she silently shifted her gaze elsewhere, feeling shy beyond words; she was utterly mortified.
This was yet another unforgettable memory for her!
Who would have thought that a certain being would collapse their cave on their first time…
If word got out, it would surely echo through the ages…
Boom!
At this moment, a horrifying storm surged from afar, whipping the spiritual energy of the entire Celestial Mansion into a frenzy.
The ladies snapped back to reality, looking ahead to see Lin Feng rising amidst a column of magical power!
His aura kept climbing, reaching an unprecedented level!
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor’s pale violet eyes shimmered with excitement as she exclaimed, “He’s stronger than when he exited the Heavenly Storm Realm!”
“But his realm was already at its utmost!”
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor furrowed her brows in confusion, suddenly realizing something, “Is it possible that with the help of the vast chaotic spirit milk from the ancestral palace’s hidden treasury, he’s about to unlock a new ancestral palace!”
Upon hearing this, Que Ruyi and the others felt a chill down their spines, looking on expectantly.
Suddenly, Lin Feng’s body erupted in light, an extremely profound wave slowly unleashed.
