At this moment, Little Black had contacted Liu Guanfeng several times outside but received no response. Little Black began to circle around the white light column formed by the chandelier, using its spiritual sense to probe into the white light. It found that Liu Guanfeng showed no abnormalities; his breathing and everything else appeared normal. Only then did Little Black feel reassured enough to stand aside and watch the white light, periodically using its spiritual sense to observe Liu Guanfeng.
However, Liu Guanfeng's breathing remained steady, and this routine continued day by day. In the blink of an eye, Liu Guanfeng had been living in the white light for a month, during which he had no idea where he was, simply passing time in a daze.
It was unclear how long had passed when Liu Guanfeng's consciousness gradually returned to his body. He slowly opened his eyes and realized he was still enveloped in a mass of white light, but his skin and meridians were no longer damaged or restructured. Within the white light, Liu Guanfeng gently circulated his energy, feeling that his meridians had become incredibly smooth, seemingly wider than before.
Now Liu Guanfeng could sense that his power had also increased. The surrounding white light continuously concentrated towards his Dantian, and the dragon pearl at his Dantian eagerly absorbed it all.
Liu Guanfeng began practicing his Chaos Initial Skill within the white light—layer one, layer two… up to layer seven and eight. He momentarily froze in surprise; before entering the white light, he had only reached the seventh layer of Chaos Bodyguard. After sleeping in the white light, he unexpectedly advanced directly to the eighth layer, Unity of Chaos. Unity of Chaos allowed Liu Guanfeng's punch to gain energy from the five elements in mid-air, transforming what used to be a punch or blade that could only extend a few meters into one that could reach dozens of meters or further.
In their usual conversations, Qinglong and the other Four Masters had already taught Liu Guanfeng about the human meridian map. Liu Guanfeng understood that to become a powerful Divine Knight, he needed to open up the Ren and Du meridians as well as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Now Liu Guanfeng began his first step towards becoming a Divine Knight by focusing on Renmai. Through studying human meridians, he easily located Renmai and mobilized all the Fighting Qi within his dragon pearl.
He saw these Fighting Qi surge towards Renmai like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain. Liu Guanfeng mobilized all his Fighting Qi because Qinglong had told him that opening up the Ren and Du meridians along with the Eight Extraordinary Meridians was much more difficult than opening other meridians. Even with the dragon pearl assisting him in automatically absorbing and storing energy, it was still hard to guarantee success in one attempt. Fortunately, after experiencing the Purple Gold Thunderfruit and being bathed in white light, the energy contained within his dragon pearl was far beyond what Qinglong initially anticipated.
Chaotic Qi relentlessly impacted against Renmai before Liu Guanfeng's forehead began to sweat. Under the guidance of the dragon pearl, Fighting Qi surged like a tide within him—one strike, two strikes, three strikes… Eventually, after an unknown number of impacts, Liu Guanfeng suddenly heard a "pop" sound from where Renmai was located. Instantly, Fighting Qi surged wildly within him like frenzied wild horses.
However, under the timely guidance of the dragon pearl, Fighting Qi gradually returned to calmness and began to orderly flow back into the dragon pearl at an increasing speed. Gradually, a small vortex formed within Liu Guanfeng's dragon pearl, desperately absorbing all of his internal Fighting Qi. Soon enough, all of the chaotic Fighting Qi within him was absorbed by the dragon pearl; however, the vortex showed no signs of stopping.
Moreover, it spun faster and faster. At this moment, the white light surrounding Liu Guanfeng was also being pulled into his body as if drawn by an unseen force. This white light quickly entered his body through the vortex and passed through a tiny hole that had appeared when Liu Guanfeng was struck by lightning on Wolf Island.
At this time, the color of the white light enveloping Liu Guanfeng began to fade gradually until his appearance became clear. As the white light diminished, Liu Guanfeng's body slowly descended to the ground. After a day and night of frenzied absorption, even the last trace of white light disappeared from the stone chamber, restoring it to its original color. Just then, a sound echoed throughout the stone chamber: "Pop! Clatter!"
It sounded like a creature just hatched from an egg. What kind of sound could it be? Liu Guanfeng and Little Black began to search for the source of the sound. After searching high and low, they discovered that the sound was actually coming from Liu Guanfeng's abdomen. Liu Guanfeng immediately sat down and began to inspect his Dantian.
What shocked Liu Guanfeng was that upon inspecting his Dantian, he realized that the sound was coming from the Dragon Pearl. Since the small hole from Wolf Island, cracks had formed around it like a spider web, and it looked as if the Dragon Pearl was about to shatter.
Sweat began to bead on Liu Guanfeng's forehead as he wondered what was happening. Why had the Dragon Pearl changed like this? If it really broke, would he lose all his martial arts skills? He had just broken through to Divine Knight; a twenty-year-old Divine-Level Expert was definitely a miracle in this world. However, he hadn't even fought anyone since becoming a Divine Knight. If he lost all his skills now, it would become a laughingstock—a twenty-year-old Divine-Level Expert losing all his abilities on the very day he advanced.
Liu Guanfeng wanted to desperately maintain the integrity of the Dragon Pearl, but it seemed as if the Dragon Pearl was deliberately working against him. The more he tried to focus, the faster it cracked. Finally, after half an hour of effort, the Dragon Pearl made a crisp sound of "pop," followed by Liu Guanfeng's anguished cry of "ah."
Within Liu Guanfeng's body, a blue dragon broke free from the confines of the Dragon Pearl. This dragon, trapped for many years, began to move freely within Liu Guanfeng's body. As the blue dragon joyfully roamed around, Liu Guanfeng faintly heard a sound of "eh" in the stone chamber. However, the sound only rang out once before disappearing. Liu Guanfeng immediately looked around to find out who had made the sound but found nothing after searching for a long time.
In a very distant place, a tall man wearing only a piece of cloth was staring intently at a mirror in front of him. As he watched, he exclaimed, "What an interesting little guy! It seems this game is about to get fun." In the mirror before him was Liu Guanfeng, who was astonished and searching for something around him. The tall man smiled as he looked at Liu Guanfeng in the mirror and began to mutter something.
On the offering table in the stone chamber, a blue light began to emanate from the Octagonal Plate, connecting directly with the chandelier above. Liu Guanfeng hurriedly stepped out of the circle beneath the chandelier.
Looking back at the chandelier, a blue light curtain had appeared, and within it faintly emerged a silhouette—the same man who had been watching Liu Guanfeng in the mirror.
Just as Liu Guanfeng was astonished, the man on the light curtain suddenly spoke: "Greetings, fated one. To be precise, I should now call you my disciple. The moment you entered this stone chamber, it was destined that you would become my disciple. Since you have already paid your respects to me, why not call me Master so I can hear it?" After saying this, the man fell silent.
Liu Guanfeng thought that since he had already acknowledged him as his master, there was no other choice but to comply. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply towards the light curtain: "Disciple pays respects to Master."
Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng call him Master, the man on the light curtain finally spoke again: "Now that you've called me Master, I can't be too stingy. Disciple, do you see that bag behind me?" Liu Guanfeng instinctively nodded: "That bag does not belong to this world; it's called Cosmic Bag." When Liu Guanfeng heard "Cosmic Bag," he unconsciously touched his own Cosmic Bag hanging at his waist.
The man continued: "Currently, this Cosmic Bag contains one hundred Ninth Tier Cores, five hundred Eighth Rank Cores, and three thousand Seventh Tier Cores. I haven't counted how many Sixth Tier or lower Cores there are; there should be tens of thousands." Upon hearing this, Liu Guanfeng's heart raced uncontrollably. What did this mean? If he sold these Cores, he could easily live comfortably for several lifetimes.
"Besides the Core inside, there are various ores and herbs I have collected over the years, but since I no longer need them, I am giving them all to you. In addition to these, there are also several Mind Methods and martial arts in the Cosmic Bag. The Mind Methods include: Flame Heart Technique, Aqua Blue Heart Method, Golden Light Heart Method, Earth Source Mind Method, Wood Ancestor Heart Method, and Chaos Initial Skill; the martial arts include: Lava Sword Technique, Repairing Heaven Staff Technique, Raging Tide Hammer Technique, Flash Golden Spear Technique, Original Wood Blade Technique, and Pangu Eighteen Axes. I hope you can teach these techniques to others on this continent so that cultivation here can get back on track."
Liu Guanfeng bowed to the man and said, "Disciple will strictly follow Master’s orders."
"Lastly, what I leave you is the Disc behind you. This Disc is only part of a whole set of ten pieces. Besides the Disc, there is also a Night Pearl and eight small tokens. Only by placing all eight tokens into the Disc can you discover the location of the final Night Pearl. This process is known as The Game of the Supreme God. Only after collecting everything can the Supreme Deity grant a wish. However, this process will not be easy; I hope you will do your best to complete this game. I believe that once you have gathered all the items, we will meet again."
After saying this, the blue light disappeared along with the man's Influence. Who exactly was this man? He seemed to be a powerful figure; otherwise, he wouldn't possess so many valuable ores and herbs, along with these Mind Methods and martial arts.
Liu Guanfeng slowly walked to the altar and picked up the Cosmic Bag. Following the method taught by Qinglong, he bound the Cosmic Bag to himself. Upon opening it, although Liu Guanfeng had just heard about what that man claimed to be his master had introduced earlier, he was still momentarily stunned by what he saw inside. The Cosmic Bag contained an immense amount of Core—so many that they were impossible to count.
Moreover, Liu Guanfeng discovered a large quantity of ores and herbs inside. If these herbs and ores were seen by his masters Xuanwu and Zhuque, they would surely be very pleased.
Several manuals lay quietly within the Cosmic Bag. Liu Guanfeng nodded repeatedly while inspecting them. This Cosmic Bag was extraordinary; if it were his own Cosmic Bag, it certainly wouldn't hold so many items. The Cosmic Bag left by that man was nearly ten times larger than the one given to Liu Guanfeng by Qinglong and others. Therefore, even though it contained a vast amount of Core, there was still plenty of space available.
After securing the Cosmic Bag, Liu Guanfeng slowly picked up the Octagonal Plate in his hand. This plate was only palm-sized. Once Liu Guanfeng held it in his hand, he felt two areas on his waist shaking vigorously. He placed his hand on those shaking spots and smiled slightly: "It seems you two have found your home."
