Night Breeze visited Elder Blue Moon's cave dwelling. Elder Blue Moon's cave dwelling was filled with flowers and green leaves, and there were also small ponds. It was beautiful and like a paradise, full of poetic charm.

However, when Ye Feng entered Elder Lingxing's cultivation cave, he found that Elder Lingxing's cultivation cave was too simple and ordinary, excessively simple and ordinary!

How could this be the cultivation place of an elder who has entered the Saint Realm?

This is clearly just an ordinary, unremarkable cave!

However, Ye Feng continued on his way with an expressionless face, and as he entered the depths of Elder Lingxing's cultivation cave, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding scenery had changed.

The cave has disappeared.

Instead, a vast starry sky appeared!

A boy sits in the center of the vast starry sky, looking up at the countless stars like a child gazing at the stars.

And who else could this white-haired, white-browed youth be but Elder Lingxing?

"Elder, I've arrived."

Night Wind stepped forward, walking through the void, and respectfully bowed to Elder Lingxing.

"What level have you reached in cultivating the Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique?" Elder Lingxing asked.

"Reporting to the elder, it's the sixth level," Ye Feng said.

"When did you reach the sixth level of cultivation?" Elder Lingxing asked again.

"It's been a while now. After the sect competition, I obtained the complete Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique and cultivated it to the sixth level," Ye Feng said.

In fact, Ye Feng had already cultivated to the seventh level and had long since perfected the Mitian Xingdou Sword Technique.

However, saying this would be too shocking, and Elder Lingxing might become suspicious because of it.

That's why Ye Feng didn't tell the truth.

"You are quite good, much better than me. Your talent for cultivation is rare in the world, and your demeanor is extraordinary... Ye Feng, would you like to become my disciple?" Elder Lingxing said, turning to look at Ye Feng.

"Can I refuse?" Night Wind asked.

“Give me a reason,” Elder Lingxing said.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng replied, "Because I don't want to be constrained. Although I know that becoming your disciple would be very beneficial to me, I feel that it is more carefree and comfortable to explore and cultivate on my own. Moreover, my mind is too scattered. I have not only cultivated the Mitian Xingdou Sword Technique, but also studied mechanical arts, alchemy, weapon crafting, and various formations."

"So even if Elder Lingxing wants me to inherit your mantle, I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

Hearing Ye Feng say this, Elder Ling Xing slowly nodded.

“Since you’re unwilling, then forget it. But I hope you can understand one thing,” Elder Lingxing said.

“Elder Lingxing, please speak,” Ye Feng said.

"The reason why our Xuanji Sect has been able to grow and expand step by step to its current size is because we welcome all comers. Therefore, there are many people in our Xuanji Sect whose identities and backgrounds are questionable, but as long as these people do not violate the sect rules or do anything to harm their fellow disciples or betray the sect, we will not interfere."

"So, I hope you can do it."

After Elder Lingxing finished speaking, he stared at Ye Feng without blinking.

Did Elder Lingxing guess something?

Did he know that his origins were questionable?

Ye Feng thought for a moment and said seriously, "Elder, you can rest assured that I would never do anything to harm my fellow disciples or betray the sect. If you don't believe me, I can swear on my inner demons."

“Then swear an oath now,” Elder Lingxing said immediately.

Elder Lingxing is really honest; he doesn't hold back at all.

Ye Feng gave a bitter smile, but then raised his right hand and said slowly and deliberately, "I, Ye Feng, swear by my inner demons that I will never harm my fellow disciples of the Xuanji Sect in this lifetime, and I will never betray the Xuanji Sect. Otherwise, I will suffer a qi deviation and die!"

Just as Ye Feng made the great oath to his inner demons, he felt his soul tremble slightly, and the circulation of his true energy paused for a moment.

It seems the oath to the inner demons has taken effect.

Although burdened with a great oath to his inner demons, Ye Feng didn't care.

He had no grudge against the Xuanji Sect, and in fact, he had gained many benefits from them.

Given that, he certainly wouldn't do anything to the Xuanji Sect.

In this way, there is no need to worry about breaking the oath.

"Good, very good, you haven't let me down."

Elder Lingxing nodded in satisfaction, but then said, "Fellow Daoist, you just said that you have cultivated the Mitian Starry Sky Sword Technique to the sixth level. You were lying to me, weren't you? If I'm not mistaken, you should have already cultivated the Mitian Starry Sky Sword Technique to the seventh level."

Before Ye Feng could speak, Elder Ling Xing continued, "You don't need to deny it. If you hadn't cultivated the Mi Tian Xing Dou Sword Technique to the seventh level, you wouldn't have been able to stand before me. So from the very beginning, I was testing you, and you didn't notice my test, so you were already exposed."

"Haven't you realized it yet? This entire starry sky is my vast starry sea."

Elder Lingxing's face showed a hint of sarcasm as he said this.

Night Breeze finally realized what was going on, and then he smiled wryly: "Old ginger is indeed spicier."

"It seems you have a great secret, but don't worry, I won't investigate your identity or background. As I said before, as long as you don't harm your fellow disciples or betray the sect, I will treat you as a disciple. If you break your oath, I will naturally settle accounts with you," Elder Lingxing said.

"You can rest assured about that. After all, I've already sworn an oath with my inner demons," Ye Feng said.

Then Ye Feng said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment. Aren't you curious about the eighth, ninth, and even tenth levels of the Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique?" Elder Lingxing asked.

The Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique has more than seven levels; there are even eighth, ninth, and tenth levels?

This time, Ye Feng was truly surprised!

"Elder Lingxing, are you going to teach me?" Ye Feng asked.

"I won't teach you, and you refuse to become my disciple, so why should I teach you?" Elder Lingxing shook his head and said.

"Then why are you saying this?" Ye Feng said irritably.

“Fellow Daoist, if you are interested, you can go and take a look at the Nebula Marsh in the Central Continent. Perhaps you can find what you are looking for there. It was in the Nebula Marsh that I created the Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique,” ​​Elder Lingxing said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll go take a look,” Ye Feng said.

As Ye Feng emerged from Elder Lingxing's cultivation cave, he saw Wen Lingyan, Luo Mengxuan, Chang Qingyue, and Ziyue all flying over.

Other disciples also flew over, landing one after another around Ye Feng.

"Junior brother, has Elder Lingxing accepted you as his disciple? It must be so. You've already cultivated the Mitian Star Fighting Sword Technique to the sixth level. How could Elder Lingxing not be pleased with you?" Luo Mengxuan said with a smile, looking at Ye Feng with anticipation.

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Senior sister, you're overthinking it. Elder Lingxing did not accept me as a disciple."

"Huh? Why? That's impossible!" Luo Mengxuan shouted.
