"We still have a month left, let's leave as soon as possible!"

Ye Feng was somewhat confused.

He was both surprised that Ling Fengxue was about to undergo her seventh tribulation, and confused by her worries.

There's still a month until your tribulation, no need for that expression, right? Just use that same supernatural power you used to come here, and you'll be more than capable of leaving the Chaotic Star Sea, let alone returning to the Ice God Sect.

Ling Fengxue sighed, shook her head, and sat down directly on the ground.

"The Chaotic Star Sea is not so easy to traverse... Just look at the stars in the sky, and you'll understand."

Ye Feng looked up in confusion. It was already close to night, and the stars were visible.

The few large stars that were once common are now beginning to show their potential.

It's this location...

As Ye Feng checked the system map, the star map suddenly shifted again!

Depend on!

The positions haven't changed, so how could the star chart change? While the individual positions of the stars in the sky haven't changed, in Ye Feng's eyes, it's as if the entire cultivation world is being suspended by a rope, constantly and irregularly rotating left and right.

In such a situation, it's impossible to determine direction...

Of course, Ye Feng has a map, so he doesn't need to worry about this little thing.

However, even if star charts in the sky cannot be used as a reference,

Theoretically, if you fly in one direction, there should be about a one-in-half chance of escaping, right? It shouldn't be enough to make Ling Fengxue so desperate, right?

Before Ye Feng could even ask, Ling Fengxue spoke up directly.

"Do you think that as long as you choose a direction to fly, you can get out?"

"Isn't that so?"

Ling Fengxue shook his head.

"How could that make so many people turn pale at the mere mention of it... Here, one moment you are flying forward, the next moment... what you think is forward is actually backward. If it's not chaotic and disorderly, how can it be called the Chaotic Star Sea!"

As she spoke, she looked at the ground again.

"High-grade ores are everywhere here. If it weren't for this natural formation blocking the way, countless cultivators would have come and dug this place out long ago!"

High-grade ores are everywhere—Ye Feng remembered this sentence!

"Snap!"

The distant thunderclouds were rapidly approaching, and Ye Feng could already see lightning bolts as thick as buckets.

In the cultivation world, rainy days are actually quite rare. If you encounter thunder, there's a 50% chance that a cultivator is undergoing tribulation.

This was the first time Ye Feng had ever witnessed such a magnificent display of natural lightning in all his years in this world.

With his eyesight, he could see every detail within a hundred miles and even figures a thousand miles away.

But this thunderbolt had no end in sight, sweeping across the land like a plow sweeping across a cave.

"How about we go inside and hide for a bit?"

This lightning was roughly equivalent to the intensity of a typical Nascent Soul tribulation lightning strike, and it had almost no effect on the two of them.

However, within the thunder, spiritual energy is chaotic and lightning flashes wildly. Even those who have achieved fusion will inevitably have their senses limited. If there are other dangers lurking within, that would be troublesome.

Ling Fengxue nodded, turned around without saying a word, and sat back down in her previous spot, lost in thought.

Ye Feng, however, took out a pile of cotton wool and soft brocade, and spread it on the ground.

After finishing, they took out a table and set out pastries and fruit...

Ling Fengxue's initial despair was completely taken aback by Ye Feng's actions.

Seeing the food he offered, she finally couldn't help but ask,

"Do you... always carry this much stuff?"

"Aren't these all essentials for home and travel?"

Ye Feng acted as if it were perfectly natural.

Then he picked up a peach, ate it while listening to the deafening thunder outside.

At that moment, lightning was passing overhead, and the cave ceiling was shaking intermittently.

Amidst the shaking, wisps of blue smoke rose intermittently.

No wonder this ore is so pure; it turns out it's been naturally refined by the thunder that it experiences from time to time!

Just then, Ling Fengxue, who was sitting to the side, suddenly trembled.

Ye Feng took a closer look and, to his surprise, they hadn't used any magic to defend themselves.

Although most of the lightning is conducted underground, the electric arc power within the cave is still considerable.

Ye Feng flicked his wrist, and the formation was activated.

The sounds outside were immediately cut off, and the lightning arcs inside the cave also weakened instantly.

"Your cultivation level?"

The formation activated, the thunder subsided, and the feeling of wind and snow improved considerably. I even felt like eating the fruit Ye Feng had brought.

"This is the Frost Cicada Technique of my Ice God Sect! When used, it can heal injuries, reduce the consumption of mana and spiritual power, and resist abnormal statuses... However, one's cultivation will gradually decline, and when one returns to a mortal state, it will be time to undergo tribulation!"

"A mortal? How can one transcend tribulation?"

"Mortals cannot undergo tribulation, but when they become mortals, they will regain their full cultivation and attract the lightning tribulation!"

Ling Fengxue rolled her eyes at Ye Feng.

"If I hadn't hit you, I could have held on for another three months..."

So, you can't use magic during this process. No wonder they said they wanted me to give them a ride.

You hit me, and now you're blaming me?

But in that situation, most people would probably hit him.

Mentioning this incident, Ye Feng couldn't help but recall the feeling of that moment...

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became ambiguous.

What happened before wasn't Ye Feng's fault, but Ling Fengxue really suffered a loss.

Ye Feng remained silent, which made her feel even more embarrassed, and she avoided looking in that direction altogether.

Did that kid really use massage techniques to help me get rid of the black mist invasion?

Later they asked me for magic stones again...

Are they helping me, or are they looking for my magic stone?

Or...something else?

Regardless, it was only through the aura of the spirit leaf that Ling Fengxue was able to escape awakening within the dark illusion.

Perhaps the massage was real, but I hit him, which angered him, and that's why he asked me for the magic stone.

He attacked in a fit of rage; had his cultivation level not been reduced, he might have been killed...

Thinking of this, Fengxue felt a pang of guilt again.

But why did you stop needing massages later?

Feng Xue's ears turned red, and she couldn't help but inwardly spit out her anger.

What am I thinking? Now that I'm awake, I don't need a massage anymore...

Compared to the complex inner thoughts that troubled Feng Xue, Ye Feng's thoughts were much simpler.

The Frost Immortal's skin is firm and as tender as a maiden's.

**High-performing and soft with elasticity!**

Now that I'm about to die, will I have those kinds of thoughts?

For example, before you die, you want to be a woman properly?

No way!

Her face turned red; could it be that she's really thinking about it?

How can I let a woman take the initiative in something like this? I'll just take the initiative and let her have her way!

Are you hot?

What are your plans?

...

They both spoke at the same time, and then stopped at the same time.

"I'm not hot!"

"I want to take off my clothes! Or you can too..."

...

Ling Fengxue: (??へ??╬)——Angry!!

This kid, all that talk about massage, it was all a lie!

Ye Feng:.....

"Hehe...I was just kidding!"

Ye Feng was shocked to see Ling Fengxue clench her fists and walk towards him step by step.

Even with his magic power gone, his body is still at the Immortal Venerable level, and he can't withstand many blows!

"Don't hit me, let's talk this out..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I have a way to get you out of here!"
