The cave entrance was very well hidden, and the surrounding vegetation and terrain were unremarkable.
All three groups of people had already crossed the hillside where the cave entrance was located.
Suddenly, the sky above the mountain pass in front of them was filled with wind and clouds, lightning and thunder, and dark clouds.
The nearby mountains and forests were suddenly filled with howling waves, and sand and stones flew everywhere.
The gale came fiercely and violently, uprooting many trees on the nearby mountain peaks that were as thick as two people could hug, and sending them hurtling towards the three groups of people like cannonballs.
"This is bad! There's a powerful being undergoing tribulation ahead, at least at the Great Completion stage!"
"This isn't just the Great Completion stage, this is at least the Loose Immortal Tribulation!"
"Back off! Back off! Everyone, get out of the tribulation zone quickly!"
The three groups of people exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated. Even though they retreated quickly, they were still blown around and tumbled about.
Even more coincidentally, in their haste to crawl and scramble, they discovered the cave where Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao were hiding.
"Senior Zhang, there's a cave here. Let's go in and take shelter," the patrolling guard who discovered the cave asked obsequiously.
The third team leader, Zhang Yujian, realized that the battle was too fierce and a safe retreat was impossible. He quickly agreed and loudly instructed, "Alright, everyone go into the cave and conceal your aura. Before that senior expert has completed his tribulation, everyone must try to act as if they are dead. Even your breathing must be quiet. Do not attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao and cause everyone to die!"
No one dared to respond loudly; they all nodded like chickens pecking at rice and rushed into the cave.
Shang Xiye was idly roasting wild game and drinking wine all by himself.
Suddenly, a rumbling thunder sounded overhead, and two vast auras with extremely similar characteristics spread outwards from the depths of the cave.
A large amount of spiritual energy seeped into the mountain from the outside and flowed deep into the cave.
Shang Xiye's lips twitched: Wow, impressive, these two have really taken their conversation to a whole new level!
Touching the Heaven-Covering Stone tucked into his arms, Shang Xiye continued roasting the wild game and drinking his wine, completely unperturbed.
The most panicked was the horned python deep inside the cave.
If it could speak, the three words "ma maipi" (麻卖皮) would probably be insufficient to describe its current feelings.
It's one thing for those two humans to just wander into its doorstep and chat, but then they ended up blocking its doorway and leveling up!
Its lair is built right in a dead end, and now it's trapped inside with no way to escape!
Meanwhile, the two main figures undergoing their tribulations, Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao, sat facing each other, clapping hands.
The two were of one mind and focused on each other.
They had no idea they were undergoing a tribulation; everything seemed perfectly natural to them.
"These are all my previous insights into swordsmanship and the techniques I have practiced, which I share with you today," Hei Xiao's clear and gentle voice lingered around Ji Fengming's soul in his sea of consciousness.
"Okay," Ji Fengming said without hesitation, readily accepting all the thoughts transmitted by the Black Owl into his soul.
Beneath Ji Fengming was a large pile of top-grade moon white stones, some of which had been completely absorbed into white ash, some whose light was fading and being absorbed, and others buried in a shallow layer of thick ash, waiting to be absorbed.
In that world of thoughts that belonged only to the two of them.
Ji Fengming "saw" Ling Qing, who had grown up from childhood, and the mental journey she had gone through while diligently practicing swordsmanship.
Ling Qing's insights were just like his insights, and the years Ling Qing spent practicing swordsmanship were just like the years he spent practicing swordsmanship.
