Those fluctuations of spiritual energy came from a cultivation cave on Taiyue Peak.

The inner disciples who had gathered here were currently discussing the matter animatedly.

"Has Senior Brother Chang broken through?"

"Very likely!"

"That cave is Senior Brother Chang's cultivation cave. It seems that he is the one who has broken through!"

"I just don't know if Senior Brother Chang will be able to succeed."

"With Senior Brother Chang's strength, he will definitely be able to break through to the Divine Travel Realm!"

"That's not how it works. Breaking through each major realm is incredibly difficult and dangerous. One wrong move and you could suffer a backlash from failure. I admit that Senior Brother Chang is very powerful, but that doesn't mean he'll definitely succeed in breaking through."

The inner disciples were saying all sorts of things, but Ye Feng didn't get involved; he just stood there quietly watching.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from beside Ye Feng: "Junior Brother Ye, do you think Senior Brother Chang can successfully break through?"

Ye Feng turned around and saw that the female disciple was none other than the mechanic Wen Lingyan.

"So it's Senior Sister Wen," Ye Feng said, bowing slightly.

Wen Lingyan said unhappily, "I'm asking you a question. Do you think Senior Brother Chang can succeed?"

“I think Senior Brother Chang will definitely succeed,” Ye Feng said without hesitation.

"Why?" Wen Lingyan asked immediately.

Ye Feng laughed and said, "Senior Brother Chang's foundation is very solid, and his strength is also particularly formidable. Therefore, his breakthrough can be said to be a natural result of his accumulated strength. Although there is a possibility of failure, it is very, very small."

“Then we’ll see if what you’re saying is correct,” Wen Lingyan said.

No sooner had Wen Lingyan finished speaking than a loud boom was heard.

Suddenly, a large hole exploded in Chang Qingyue's cultivation cave, and a figure flew out from it and stood in the air.

The next moment, the fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared.

"Hahaha... I finally succeeded! Heaven has been kind to me!" Chang Qingyue laughed loudly.

Chang Qingyue's laughter contained a hint of madness, as if she had fallen into demonic ways.

Moreover, his laughter contained true energy, which made the inner disciples watching on the scene feel pain in their eardrums.

Suddenly, Ye Feng said loudly, "Senior Brother Chang, don't be too happy. The path of martial arts is so long and full of difficulties and dangers. You have only taken one step forward and are far from reaching the end. What's so funny!"

The sound of the night wind had just begun when Chang Qingyue's maniacal laughter came to an abrupt halt.

The next moment, Chang Qingyue's expression returned to calm, and her eyes gradually became clear.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Ye."

Chang Qingyue descended from the sky, strode up to Ye Feng, and bowed deeply to him.

“Senior brother, there’s no need for that. I was just reminding you,” Ye Feng said.

"Junior brother, you're too kind. It was because of your reminder that I was able to realize my mistake. Otherwise, I'm afraid my cultivation level would be unstable or I might even suffer a qi deviation," Chang Qingyue said earnestly.

Suddenly, the air distorted and rippled.

The next moment, a figure stepped out from among them; it was Elder Bowen, Chang Qingyue's master.

Elder Bowen looked at Chang Qingyue, who immediately bowed respectfully as a disciple.

"Indeed, Qingyue, you have not disappointed me." Elder Bowen said with a smile.

Then Elder Bowen looked at Yefeng, his face full of admiration and appreciation.

"You are Ye Feng? Thank you for reminding Qing Yue just now, otherwise a disaster would have occurred," Elder Bowen said.

"Elder, you flatter me," Ye Feng said.

Seeing that Ye Feng showed no arrogance and was instead very humble, Elder Bowen was even more satisfied.

After praising the night breeze a few more times, Elder Bowen finally left.

As soon as Elder Bowen left, all the inner disciples around looked at Ye Feng, including Wen Lingyan.

If it were anyone else, they would surely be feeling arrogant and complacent in this situation, but Ye Feng's heart remained completely unmoved.

"Senior Brother Chang, now that you're alright, I should be going too," Ye Feng said.

"Why don't you come and sit in my cave?" Chang Qingyue asked.

"Senior brother, let's fix the cave first," Ye Feng said with a smile, pointing to the large hole above Chang Qingyue's cultivation cave.

Chang Qingyue laughed and said, "Alright, then I'll repair the cave first, and invite you to come over as a guest another day."

The night wind nodded and flew away.

Unexpectedly, Wen Lingyan followed and caught up with Ye Feng, asking, "Junior Brother Ye, don't walk so fast."

"I have other things to do," Ye Feng said.

Wen Lingyan then said, "Didn't you say you wanted to study my mechanical arts? I happen to be free tonight, so why don't I teach you?"

The night breeze stirred my heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Let's do it another day, Senior Sister Wen. I still need to go to the Merit Hall to settle my merits, and it's already getting late. It's really not appropriate for us, a man and a woman, to spend the night together. If any rumors spread and ruin your reputation, that would be my fault."

“I’m not afraid.” Wen Lingyan shook her head without hesitation.

"I'm scared."

The night wind suddenly accelerated after uttering those two words.

Seeing that the night wind had left her behind, Wen Lingyan was quite annoyed.

"You're avoiding me, aren't you? Hmph, it won't be long before you come looking for me!" Wen Lingyan muttered to herself.

Ye Feng arrived at Shan Gong Tang and soon met Luo Mengxuan.

Night had fallen, and Shan Gong Tang was about to close. Luo Mengxuan seemed to be planning to leave as well.

But seeing Ye Feng arrive, Luo Mengxuan sat back down behind her desk and asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Ye, why are you only arriving now? I thought you were planning to wait until tomorrow to settle your merits together."

"I could have come earlier, but something happened on the way, so I was delayed," Ye Feng said.

"What is it?" Luo Mengxuan asked curiously.

"Senior Brother Chang has broken through to the Divine Travel Realm. He is now a Divine Travel Realm martial artist," Ye Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Mengxuan's smile froze instantly.

But then she smiled again and said, "That's right, Senior Brother Chang is truly a role model for us all."

“I thought you would feel resentful and bitter, Senior Sister Luo,” Ye Feng said.

Luo Mengxuan chuckled and said, "How could that be? Am I that petty? Do you think I'm the kind of vindictive and narrow-minded woman in your eyes, Junior Brother?"

You clearly are!

Of course, Ye Feng only thought it to himself and didn't actually say it out loud.

"Enough with the nonsense, Senior Sister, please hurry up and calculate my merit points. I'm very tired from cultivating medicinal herbs for Elder Zijing, and I want to go back and rest as soon as possible," Ye Feng said.

"Okay, I'll settle the bill for you now," Luo Mengxuan said.

After settling the merits, Ye Feng left the Merit Hall and flew towards his residence.

On the way, Ye Feng became increasingly puzzled.

Luo Mengxuan's attitude today is really abnormal and completely out of character.
