Chapter 66

As he entered the Spirit Technique Hall, Ye Chong could feel a rather peculiar fluctuation scanning his body. Almost simultaneously, the spirit value token in his Qiankun Ring seemed to sense it and responded to the peculiar fluctuation in some way. At that moment, Ye Chong had a clear feeling that it was as if all his secrets were about to be exposed. However, the Six Dao Burial Sword Technique suddenly activated, causing the peculiar fluctuation to disappear. Then he took a step into the Spirit Technique Hall.

If it were an ordinary Ninth Stage Body Tempering expert, they might not have noticed such a subtle moment. However, Ye Chong was a genius in the field of spirit talismans. Although he had not deliberately cultivated it, he could clearly sense the subtle changes in the field of spirit talismans. At least at this moment, he knew clearly that if someone without the Star Formation Sect's spirit value token entered this place, they would likely be greeted by the bombardment of dozens of spirit talisman arrays.

The first floor of the Spirit Technique Hall was a circular space like a library. At the entrance, an old man was dozing, and a few Star Formation Sect disciples were carefully selecting from the bookshelves on the first floor. The bookshelves were filled with densely packed scrolls.

Ye Chong casually walked over, pulled out a scroll, and glanced at it, but quickly lost interest. It was a mid-grade ordinary spirit technique. If Ye Chong's guess was correct, the first and second floors of the Spirit Technique Hall were open to any Star Formation Sect disciple, but the highest level of spirit techniques here should only be upper-grade ordinary. If he wanted a spirit-level spirit technique, he would probably have to go to the third floor.

"Let's go to the third floor." After a casual glance around, Su Yu led Ye Chong up the green brick stairs.

"What was up with Xiao Xin just now?" After a moment of silence, Ye Chong asked casually.

"What? Interested in her?" Su Yu turned back, smiling sweetly, her teeth gleaming brilliantly.

Ye Chong shrugged. "Senior Sister Su Yu, you've been nice to me. If you think that girl is a trouble, I don't mind stepping in to deal with her."

"Such a ruthless little guy!" Su Yu stuck out her pink tongue and whispered, "Xiao Xin isn't just anyone. She's also an Inner Sect disciple, and we don't get along well. Cheng Xuan and Guo Yan are also Inner Sect disciples and are quite formidable. They both rank highly among the Inner Sect disciples... By the way, you probably don't know yet, but there aren't many Inner Sect disciples in the Star Formation Sect, so we are ranked according to our strength. You just joined the Star Formation Sect, so you're probably ranked 108th. However, if you want a higher rank, you just need to defeat the person in front of you... Of course, while the Star Formation Sect doesn't prohibit internal conflicts among disciples, causing fatalities is not allowed. You should be careful about this in the Star Formation Sect."

"Can't cause fatalities, huh?" Hearing this, Ye Chong frowned slightly. He was used to not holding back, and being cautious was not his strong suit.

"Right, as long as you don't cause fatalities, you can do whatever you want, and no one will bother you. By the way, if you're interested in that woman, I can help you carry her back!" Su Yu glanced at Xiao Xin and the others who had just entered the Spirit Technique Hall, then suddenly snorted.

Hearing this, Ye Chong was slightly taken aback and then laughed bitterly. It seemed there was quite a bit of enmity between these two senior sisters.

As they spoke, the two of them had already bypassed the second floor and arrived at the third floor of the Spirit Technique Hall.

The third floor first appeared as a large hall, empty except for a bronze door at the end. The door was covered with countless runes that flickered, clearly indicating powerful protective measures.

Ye Chong and Su Yu stood before the bronze door, and he squinted his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. It seemed that everything in the Star Formation Sect was somewhat beyond his expectations. Perhaps his previous attitude of looking down on the Western Wasteland Realm from the perspective of the Three Thousand Divine Realms should be changed.

Previously, Ye Chong had only been thinking about finding a spirit technique suitable for his current strength, but after seeing the layout of the Spirit Technique Hall, he became even more eager to explore its contents.

"Quite fast."

A moment later, Xiao Xin and her group of three also appeared before the third floor. However, upon seeing Ye Chong and Su Yu standing in front, Xiao Xin lightly huffed and stood at the back.

Cheng Xuan and Guo Yan shrugged, said nothing, and followed behind Xiao Xin.

"This third floor of the Spirit Technique Hall usually doesn't get much business. I didn't expect it to be so lively today..." A lazy voice echoed from the depths of the hall. Ye Chong's eyes narrowed, and he saw that an additional figure had appeared before the bronze door.

The figure was about fifty to sixty years old, with long white hair flowing in the wind, but his face was not old, looking like that of a young man. The strange combination of old and young attributes on his body gave him a peculiar aura.

Although Ye Chong could not determine his strength at the moment, it was clear that this person was very powerful, almost unfathomably so!

"Meeting Hall Master Yue Hao."

Upon seeing this person, the other four, except for Ye Chong, were slightly startled and bowed slightly.

"Disciple Ye Chong, meeting Hall Master Yue Hao." Hearing this, Ye Chong hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting.

"Hehe, so you're Ye Chong. I've heard about you, and you're quite impressive, young man." Yue Hao smiled and nodded.

Hearing this, Xiao Xin, Cheng Xuan, and Guo Yan were all taken aback, their gazes on Ye Chong becoming somewhat subtle. At this moment, they learned that the young man in front of them, who looked no more than fourteen, was named Ye Chong.

They had heard of Ye Chong's name before, after all, the name of the Ye family's once-in-a-thousand-years waste was quite well-known!

"Hehe, Junior Brother Ye Chong, you might not know, but I come from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yanjing. There, the Ye family also has a Ye Chong. However, that person is a waste and was expelled from the Ye family. If that person had half your abilities, the old men of the Ye family would probably venerate you." Xiao Xin's eyes flickered, and she spoke with a hint of curiosity, clearly not expecting that her mysterious junior brother would also be named Ye Chong.

Ye Chong smiled. "Senior Sister Xiao Xin, I think I am the Ye Chong you mentioned, but the Ye family didn't venerate me."

"Ah—?"

Su Yu was slightly taken aback, her mouth slightly open in shock. She had good eyesight and could see that Ye Chong had the strength of the Fourth Stage Body Tempering. But she didn't expect that a person of his age and cultivation, who could be considered a prodigy, was actually the well-known waste? This was quite a significant difference!

Cheng Xuan and Guo Yan exchanged glances and then Cheng Xuan laughed. "As the ancients said, seeing is believing. Today, seeing Junior Brother Ye Chong, we understand what this means. It seems the rumors were just rumors."

"However, being demoted to a collateral branch and expelled from the family is true." Ye Chong smiled.

Hearing this, Cheng Xuan and Guo Yan were both momentarily speechless.

Hall Master Yue Hao watched this scene with narrowed eyes. When the five of them finally quieted down, he chuckled. "Alright, since you five have come, the third floor of this hall will open today. Get ready."

With that, Yue Hao casually waved his hand, his gaze falling on the bronze door behind him. He flicked his finger, and a beam of light shot out and landed on the bronze door.

"Whoosh—"

As the light flashed, the runes on the bronze door began to rapidly flow, and blinding light interwove on the door, forming an extremely complex spirit talisman array. The power contained within was so strong that it was almost breathtaking.

Ye Chong's eyes flickered with surprise. It seemed that there was a spirit talisman master of no small rank in the Star Formation Sect; otherwise, such a powerful spirit talisman array could not have been set up by just anyone.

The creaking sound of the bronze door slowly sliding open revealed the space inside.

"Come in."

Yue Hao smiled and stepped forward, entering the door. A moment later, he disappeared.

Seeing this, the five of them quickly followed.

The vision became slightly blurry, and a moment later, Ye Chong and the others found themselves in a huge black hall. Above the hall, the sky was filled with stars, which flickered and emitted an extremely bright light.

"This is..."

Looking at this scene, Ye Chong and the others were somewhat stunned. This was clearly beyond their expectations.

"This is the third floor of the Spirit Technique Hall. The spirit techniques you want are all here. What you can obtain ultimately depends on your abilities and luck!" Yue Hao's figure appeared, and he squinted his eyes, speaking calmly.
