Chapter 11

Half an hour later, Ye Feng was taken out of the detention center by the police. It was inevitable that he would be severely beaten, and this time the police even used a stun gun on Ye Feng. Even though Ye Feng had a strong resistance to pain, after being electrocuted several times in a row, he could hardly bear it.

The final decision for Ye Feng was to be placed in solitary confinement for five days and to be deprived of food for one day. His behavior would also be recorded and submitted to the court during the trial.

Logically, Ye Feng's previous actions should have been considered self-defense, but he no longer cared. He had already been labeled as a murderer, so why should he care about being labeled as an intentional assailant as well?

When Ye Feng was taken to the solitary confinement cell by the police, he suddenly realized that this incident was not only not harmful to him but was actually very beneficial. Although he lost his freedom, losing this bit of freedom was nothing to him.

Being in solitary confinement meant that he would be alone for five days. On the first day, he would be deprived of food, so no one would disturb him. For the remaining four days, no one would disturb him except during meal times.

This was an excellent opportunity for him to collect souls. He could gather them continuously day and night. Ye Feng even felt that being confined for only five days was a bit too short.

Ye Feng put aside his杂念 and began to sense and collect souls. After several days of practice, he found that the time it took to locate and collect souls had significantly decreased. After 24 hours, Ye Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that he had collected a total of fifteen souls. The fact that he could collect fifteen souls in just one day and night was very exciting for him.

Over the next four days, Ye Feng continued to focus on collecting souls, stopping only during the times when the police brought him his meals. On the second day, he collected ten souls; on the third day, eight souls; on the fourth day, twelve souls; and on the fifth day, another twelve souls.

After five days in solitary confinement, Ye Feng had collected a total of 57 souls. Adding these to the 28 souls he had previously collected, he now had 85 souls in total.

Ye Feng was now only 15 souls away from the 100 souls required to enter the second level of the Nine Star Tower.

This made Ye Feng extremely excited. When the police took him out of solitary confinement, he had a big smile on his face. Although the five days had been mentally draining and he looked rather haggard, his mood was exceptionally happy and excited. The police who took him out of solitary confinement were puzzled by his expression, and Ye Feng could guess that they probably thought he had gone a bit crazy during his confinement.

In reality, Ye Feng was in a state of high excitement. After being returned to his cell, he even began to consider whether he should provoke a few of the old ghosts again to get himself back into solitary confinement for a few more days.

Unfortunately, no one in the cell dared to provoke Ye Feng anymore. Instead, they all looked at him with admiration. Even those who had fought with him but were not injured now dared not even look at him.

This situation was unexpected for Ye Feng. If they did not provoke him and were afraid of him, should he go out of his way to provoke them and beat them up? This was something Ye Feng could not bring himself to do.

So, Ye Feng continued to do what he did before being confined. During the day, he did his usual activities, and at night, he focused on collecting souls.

Ye Feng was delighted to find that this unexpected opportunity of being confined might soon allow him to enter the Nine Star Space and officially ascend to the second level of the Nine Star Tower.

Around two o'clock in the morning, four days after his confinement, Ye Feng, who had just collected his 100th soul, suddenly heard a clear "ding" sound. His consciousness immediately received a message.

"Soul points accumulated to 100, meeting the conditions to enter the second level of the Nine Star Tower. Do you want to enter the Nine Star Space and ascend to the second level of the Nine Star Tower now?"

Receiving this message, Ye Feng was overjoyed and eagerly chose to enter the space with his consciousness. However, because there were surveillance cameras in the cell, for safety, he did not choose to enter with his physical body, only his consciousness.

The space was still shrouded in thick fog. As the master of the space, Ye Feng instantly appeared in front of the Nine Star Tower.

Looking at the majestic Nine Star Tower, Ye Feng felt a surge of excitement and pride. This tower had changed his fate, a top-tier immortal treasure from the cultivation world. Owning it and becoming its master was the most precious fortune and wealth of his life.

Standing in front of the Nine Star Tower, Ye Feng felt an extraordinary sense of comfort. The anger and injustice he felt in the real world were significantly alleviated by the current excitement and joy. With the Nine Star Space, the Nine Star Decree, and the Nine Star Tower, he could completely control his own destiny and soon control the destinies of others.

With a heart full of excitement, he walked into the first level, breathing in the familiar and refreshing scent of incense. All the fatigue and heartache of the past few days vanished.

At the end of the first level, looking at the stairs leading to the second level, Ye Feng's heart began to beat intensely.

Ascending to the second level meant that Ye Feng would gain more cultivation techniques and spells, marking his official entry into the second stage of the Nine Star Decree, the stage of cultivating qi and condensing spirit.

Indeed, the moment he stepped into the second level, Ye Feng instantly understood more. He knew that the space rules had granted him second-stage permissions.

The path of cultivation, or immortality, is long and arduous. The second stage of cultivating qi and condensing spirit is just the beginning of formal cultivation. There is still an extremely long journey ahead.

The second stage of cultivating qi and condensing spirit is divided into three levels: early, middle, and peak. Ye Feng was now only at the early stage.

On the Tianlong cultivation planet, almost every cultivator has a spiritual root. The best and most talented cultivators have five-element spiritual roots. Without a spiritual root, one is considered a waste on Tianlong, and even with cultivation, they might never reach the qi cultivation stage.

Ye Feng, however, was a complete waste, as he had no spiritual roots at all. On Tianlong, even those considered wastes have the assistance of spiritual qi and spirit stones. If they are lucky enough to obtain some heavenly treasures, they might even develop spiritual roots.

On Earth, Ye Feng had nothing—no spiritual qi, no spirit stones, and no idea where to find any heavenly treasures.

Realizing this, Ye Feng's previous enthusiasm suddenly waned.

Becoming an immortal is not an easy task. The Tianlong Immortal cultivated for tens of thousands of years to achieve immortality. For Ye Feng, a small figure in Huaguo, without the various innate conditions, becoming an immortal was a distant and elusive dream.

However, Ye Feng's stubbornness soon returned. Even if he could not become an immortal, with this great fortune, he could at least become a powerful person. Even if his level could only reach the low level of a qi cultivator on Tianlong, on Earth, he would be unique.

Even if there were cultivators on Earth, they also lacked spirit stones and spiritual qi, and none of them had the unique Nine Star Space.

So, Ye Feng put aside his杂念 and began to observe the second level of the tower.

The space on the second level was clearly larger than the first. In addition to the central platform, there were three wooden cabinets similar to ancient wooden bookshelves. Each cabinet was about one meter tall, divided into three levels, with an ancient book and a green jade box placed in each level.

Ye Feng walked to the cabinet on the left and reached out to pick up the ancient book on the top shelf, but his hand stopped halfway, unable to reach any further.

It was as if an invisible, powerful force was blocking him from reaching the cabinet.

The space rules quickly provided Ye Feng with a hint, resolving his confusion.

It turned out that these cabinets were not just cabinets but had a beautiful name: Spirit Gathering Cabinets.

The three Spirit Gathering Cabinets corresponded to the early, middle, and peak stages of the qi cultivation period. Once Ye Feng reached the early stage of qi cultivation, he could take the items from the rightmost Spirit Gathering Cabinet. The three levels of this cabinet contained three sets of cultivation techniques and spells, and the three jade boxes contained low-level heavenly treasures from Tianlong.

Yes, Ye Feng had not heard wrong. The rules in his consciousness had indeed explained it this way.

Ye Feng asked again to confirm that the three jade boxes indeed contained low-level heavenly treasures.

Heavenly treasures! These were heavenly treasures, and not just any, but those from Tianlong, which could help a waste develop a spiritual root!

Ye Feng's heart was boiling. The information from the rules was like a timely rain after a long drought, instantly reviving his waning enthusiasm.

With heavenly treasures, Ye Feng had a chance to develop a spiritual root. With a spiritual root, his cultivation speed would greatly increase, meaning he might have a chance to become a true immortal.

Although the chance was small and perhaps even remote, having a chance was better than having none, right?

Ye Feng was extremely excited. He immediately gathered his thoughts and quickly climbed onto the central platform of the second level, sitting cross-legged on the cushion in the center.
