Chapter 53

Following the cultivation method of the mental secret technique, Chu Feng began to diligently train his mental control.

Almost every moment except for eating and sleeping, he was devoted to his studies. During the time Chu Feng was diligently training, more and more people entered the Wild Ancient City. Eventually, the city became overcrowded, and many people had to camp outside.

As Su Mei had predicted, the Azure Dragon Sect indeed arrived. Although the number of people sent by the Azure Dragon Sect was not as many as those from the Thousand Winds Sect, they were all core elders and core disciples, elite individuals.

With the increasing number of forces arriving, the Wild Ancient City truly became a place of mixed dragons and people. Conflicts and contradictions almost occurred every day. Seeing this situation, Chu Feng knew that after the tomb was opened, there would surely be a bloody battle.

"Hum"

At this moment, Chu Feng stood by the window, looking at an elder of the Thousand Winds Sect on the street. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Ninth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, this elder of the Thousand Winds Sect is quite ordinary."

After several days of cultivation, Chu Feng had become proficient in controlling his mental energy. As long as the opponent's strength was not too far from his, he could see through their cultivation.

"This thing should be activated by infusing mental energy, right?" Closing the window, Chu Feng took out the Boundary Spirit Compass again.

In recent days, in addition to thoroughly studying the mental secret technique, Chu Feng had also flipped through other books he had obtained from the old man. Among them were some notes written by a Boundary Spirit Master, which recorded the functions of the Boundary Spirit Compass.

Chu Feng knew that the Boundary Spirit Compass was indeed a treasure. It could find a glimmer of hope in an array formation and a path in a maze. Simply put, it was a tool for treasure hunting.

"Hum" With a thought, a thread of invisible mental energy overflowed from Chu Feng's mind, like an invisible little snake, moving through the air and finally merging into the Boundary Spirit Compass.

"Swish, swish, swish~~~"

The moment the mental energy merged, the characters on the Boundary Spirit Compass emitted a faint glow and detached from the compass, floating in the air and rapidly revolving around it.

"Indeed a treasure!" Seeing this, Chu Feng was overjoyed. He knew that the Boundary Spirit Compass was genuine and that it would surely play an unexpected role when he entered the ancient tomb.

After all, the tomb of a Xuanwu Realm powerhouse would undoubtedly be filled with traps and dangers. This was why all the forces had dispatched their top experts.

With the Boundary Spirit Compass, even if his strength was lacking, Chu Feng would still gain some advantage, at least enough to protect himself in the ancient tomb.

"Swish" Chu Feng stuffed the compass into his Spatial Bag. The runes on the bag rotated, and it directly absorbed the Boundary Spirit Compass, which was several times larger than the bag. This was the mysterious aspect of the Spatial Bag.

Satisfied, Chu Feng patted the Spatial Bag at his waist and lay down on the bed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he remembered the strange rune on his chest from the Ten Thousand Bones Tomb.

"I wonder if this thing can be probed with mental energy."

Thinking of this, Chu Feng did not delay and infused a thread of mental energy into the rune on his chest. To his surprise, the strange rune actually showed some movement.

Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly stood up and began to control the mental energy in his brain, continuously injecting it into his chest. At this moment, the strange rune that had been attached to his chest penetrated his clothes and floated out.

In front of Chu Feng, it formed a huge map. As he continued to infuse mental energy, the map made of runes began to slowly rotate. Although it was very complex, Chu Feng could vaguely see that it was a map.

"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Bones Tomb is really a treasure? And this is the map to open the Ten Thousand Bones Tomb!"

Chu Feng was extremely excited because this mostly indicated that the strange rune was not only harmless to him but might even be a great fortune.

"Hum" However, just as the map was about to take shape, Chu Feng's head suddenly ached, and his mental energy was completely depleted.

"It seems that interpreting this map requires very strong mental energy." Rubbing his aching head, Chu Feng laughed instead of being sad.

Because today's gains were truly significant. Just thinking that he had a map to unlock a treasure hidden in his body was enough to make anyone excited.

After his mental energy recovered, Chu Feng tried to infuse it into his dantian, as that was what he was most curious about.

However, his dantian seemed to have a barrier, and the mental energy could not enter. This result initially made Chu Feng very depressed, but soon he was overjoyed.

If his mental energy could not penetrate his dantian, it also meant that others with mental energy could not probe his dantian. This way, the secret of the divine thunder in his dantian would not be known to others.

Feeling much better, Chu Feng walked out of the inn to get some fresh air. However, he was soon attracted by a series of curses.

"Damn it, let you steal, see if you still steal, you dead beggar, I'll beat you to death!"

In a certain alley, two burly men were beating someone. It was a beggar with messy hair and tattered clothes.

Chu Feng did not want to get involved in such matters, but he was surprised to find that this beggar, despite being beaten by the men, remained unmoved and continued to eat the bun in his hand.

Out of curiosity, Chu Feng spread his mental energy, but after it passed through the beggar, he concluded that the beggar was an ordinary person who had not practiced martial arts. However, how could an ordinary person have such good physical condition?

"Stop!" Feeling something was wrong, Chu Feng shouted to stop them.

Seeing someone shouting, the two men quickly stopped. Especially after seeing Chu Feng's appearance, they felt he was a martial artist and thus were very polite.

"What's going on?" Chu Feng asked.

"This beggar stole our buns," one of them replied.

"I'll pay for the stolen buns and give you ten more." Chu Feng handed the men some copper coins.

"Yes, yes, yes..." The men did not delay and quickly brought ten more buns, then left tactfully.

At this moment, only Chu Feng and the beggar were left in the alley. Chu Feng carefully examined the beggar.

He found that the beggar was not very old, looking middle-aged, with a呆滞 gaze, as if he was not fully aware. Chu Feng gave him a bun, and he ate it; if not, he did not snatch it but just stared at the bun in Chu Feng's hand, swallowing saliva continuously.

"This is..."

At this moment, Chu Feng's pupils suddenly dilated. He was shocked to find a strange scar on the beggar's forehead. It was not quite a scar, as it seemed to be naturally grown from the flesh.

The reason it was strange was because of its shape, which resembled a flame and gave a vivid impression, as if it were burning.

Out of curiosity, Chu Feng extended his finger to touch the flame-like scar.

"What are you doing!"

Just as Chu Feng touched the scar, the man suddenly roared, as if he had transformed into a different person. One of his hands, like an iron clamp, firmly grabbed Chu Feng's wrist.

At this moment, Chu Feng's face changed drastically, and he inwardly called out in alarm. He could clearly feel layers of terrifying pressure, enough to make him suffocate, surging from the man's palm into his body. If this continued, he would surely burst and die.
