  The events underground were currently unnoticed by anyone. Bei Feng was still working hard on the mountain peak as he cultivated the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique.

  He would watch the Cerberus from time to time, seemingly gaining inspirations from it. He'd entered into an extremely mysterious state of mind.

  The Heavens and Earth had their own magnetic field, while the human body was a small universe in itself. Similarly, it had its own unique magnetic field as well.

  The Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique allowed one to trigger the Heaven and Earth magnetic field. And when the cultivator's magnetic field was aligned with the Heaven and Earth's magnetic field, it would attract the energy that corresponded with it.

  At this moment, Bei Feng felt a throbbing sensation on the protruding area on the crown of his head as a sealed acupoint surfaced!

  Bei Feng was seemingly unaffected by his emotions as he hurriedly cycled through all twenty-eight movements again. Slowly, an imperceptible magnetic energy surged out of his body!

  At the same time, a ray of light fell from the crescent moon in the night sky, shining directly on the acupoint on his head!

  A huge silver-white door which seemed to span across the earth was erected before his acupoint!

  Countless intricate and detailed patterns could be seen on the huge door, and numerous locks hung on it, locking it securely.

  The starlight washed gently over the huge door like a torrent of water, rattling the locks. Slowly, the door was pushed open slightly, revealing a small slit. However, the amount of starlight was not sufficient, and the door was shut once again!

  'Is that the first acupoint? It seems to have some connections with my mental power!'

  Bei Feng felt his head turn clear. Wrapped in the starlight, even his thoughts were being calmed.

  All the mental power he had spent earlier as he cultivated had been fully replenished again.

  Having gotten a taste of success, he continued to cultivate excitedly again.

  Cultivating the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique was something that expended lots of mental power and blood and Qi energy. However, how strong was Bei Feng's mental power and blood and Qi?

  He could continue cultivating tens of times longer than regular people if he wanted to! As long as his mental power was not emptied, he could continue cultivating!

  After cycling through the movements once, he returned to the first stance immediately. Bei Feng's head was slightly raised, and a rumbling sound rang out from his body!

  Large amounts of blood and Qi energy were expended, and his mental power were also depleted rapidly as he cultivated.

  A fist-sized ray of starlight fell from the sky, shooting into the crown of Bei Feng's head!

  The phenomenon he attracted was not as exaggerated as the Cerberus, being able to bathe in the moonlight. Instead, his was concentrated on one spot only!

  The locks on the huge door before his acupoint rattled loudly again, and this time, one of the lock was even shattered apart, turning into a wisp of pure mental power which flowed into his mind, becoming one with his own mental power!

  'This is too amazing! Although it was only a wisp of mental power, this mental power was originally a part of my body, sealed as latent potential. Furthermore, this wisp of mental power is exceptionally pure, not paling in comparison to my current mental power!'

  Bei Feng's heart was filled with shock. Such changes weren't something he'd expected.

  Perhaps, when this door was completely opened, his mental power would surge explosively, raising it to 5 stars!

  Heartened, Bei Feng continued cultivating diligently. His improvement that night was extremely fast. By the time the sky turned lighter, he'd already successfully shattered one percent of the locks!

  His mental power had also risen significantly. This part was a completely unexpectedly pleasant result.

  'Such a pity; the sky is turning bright now. If I continue cultivating in this Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique, the effects would only be at one-third strength!'

  Bei Feng tried another round of absorption and shook his head with a sigh.

  Furthermore, the starlight he absorbed in the day was mixed with a tinge of fiery Qi. This tinge of fiery Qi required a great amount of energy and time to remove.

  Bei Feng understood that this was due to him not having a good enough grasp of the technique. If he reached grand completion in the technique, these issues would likely not be a problem anymore.

  As he looked up at the burning ball of flames in the sky, Bei Feng made a decision that the next star energy he would set for his second stellar acupoint to absorb would be the sun!

  The Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique was rather unique in that it did not have a restriction that the cultivator could only absorb energy from one star at a time until reaching grand completion. The cultivator could completely choose to absorb from all 28 different stars at the same time. The only requirement was that one needed to have sufficiently powerful mental power and blood and Qi energy!

  Bei Feng did not choose to continue cultivating. Although his mental power was filled to the brim, it didn't mean that his psyche was not exhausted.

  Normal martial practitioners, even Evolved Jing masters, would feel completely emptied out after one round of cultivation in this technique. They would be exceedingly exhausted, and would need to consume numerous rejuvenating spirit herbs to recover their mental power.

  As for Bei Feng, his mental power was never considered weak from the start. The cultivating of mental power was much more difficult than cultivating the body. Without any exaggerations, his mental power exceeded most Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts'! On top of that, his control over his mental power definitely far surpassed all of them!

  Bei Feng returned to his room and grabbed an ancient scroll to read.

  Cultivation was not something that could be done through sitting down and training doggedly. One needed to arm themselves with large amounts of knowledge as well. Only by knowing more and accumulating more knowledge could one walk further than the mundane crowd!

  'I've only been cultivating as soon as I got back, and forgotten about fishing. It's such a pity that the missed fishing attempts could not be saved. Otherwise, how many fishing attempts would I have accumulated through this past three years?!'

  Bei Feng felt some heartache at this. The System would obviously not let him have such an advantage.

  Bei Feng stopped reading and went to take a bath before retreating to his bed.

  He only slept for a few hours, but when he awoke, his psyche was refreshed and his fatigue had been completely wiped away!

  Mystic Moon was in the garden, trimming the plants and enjoying the company of the butterflies. Seeing this, Bei Feng could not help but sigh inwardly about her talent.

  She was born with a Xiantian physique, and was still growing stronger rapidly even now.

  With a mere probe of his perception, he could tell that based purely on cultivation level, her current strength was definitely higher than his!

  But Mystic Moon did not know any martial techniques. In other words, while she might be strong, she did not know how to utilize that strength. In a true battle, even the Cerberus was enough to defeat her!

  Bei Feng began to prepare for lunch. The stronger a person was, the more energy they would need. That way, they would be able to sustain their activities!

  ***

  In Zhebei, within the hall of an ancient-looking mansion, there were two corpses partially covered in white sheets, laid out on the ground.

  Over a hundred people stood in the wide hall, and the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.

  "Who did this?!" Han Shiping roared with rage, scaring the seven, eight security guards into falling onto their knees in a hurry.

  Tong Dali swallowed a mouthful of saliva and reported tentatively, "Boss, the other party said that we are free to look for them if we want to seek revenge! The person who killed them was a 14-15 year old girl. She used a long whip, killing the Second Old Master in one strike!" His eyes wandered across the severed pieces of Han Cheng's body, and he immediately suppressed an urge to retch.

  None of the people present had eaten a single grain of rice the entire day. When had they ever seen something as gruesome as this? Right now, every time they looked at a piece of meat, they would feel like throwing up.

  Tong Dali forced himself to look away and began to recount the entire incident in detail, starting from the time Han Mu went to look for Mystic Moon.

  "Peng!"

  "Unfilial son! There's nothing to regret about his death!" Han Shiping roared with rage, causing everyone to jerk slightly with startlement.

  The one that Han Shiping was scolding was naturally Han Mu. For such a small issue, he actually caused the death of Han Cheng!

  Someone stood out and said with an icy tone, "Clan Leader, our Han Clan must not be bullied! Right now, we must dig out that bunch of people and place their severed heads atop Han Mu and Han Cheng's graves to appease their departed souls!"

  The other party was already stepping over their heads right now. This debt of blood had to be repaid in full!

  Tong Dali and the rest looked at each other silently and hurriedly retreated and stood by the side.
