Lingfeng brought Qing and Wanshitong into the secret chamber and looked around at the layout inside.
Although this secret chamber did not have the enhancement of Spell, its design was quite peculiar. If someone were to intrude carelessly, they might easily be frightened by the winding corridors. Moreover, reaching the end of the corridor would not lead directly to the true secret chamber, creating an illusion for others.
The entire secret chamber was constructed of stone, making it airtight. Even if a person stayed inside for a long time, they would likely struggle to adapt. With the Demonic Nature reduced in the Demon Relic, it naturally would not emit Demonic Nature and would not be easily discovered.
Qing looked around the secret chamber in disbelief, nodding in surprise.
"Master, what do you think of this secret chamber?" Lingfeng asked knowingly, already aware of the answer just by looking at Qing's expression, but he still wanted to hear it from Qing's own mouth.
"This secret chamber is perfect for storing Demon Relics. If it were enhanced with magical power, it would be even more perfect!" Qing replied.
Lingfeng let out a sigh; it seemed that this matter was nearly settled. After a moment of silence, he looked at Qing seriously and said, "Master, there is one more thing I need to confess!"
"Oh? What is it?" Qing asked with a smile.
Lingfeng lowered his head, hesitating several times before swallowing hard.
"Just say whatever you need to say; being hesitant is not your style!" Azure Insight Lingfeng said with a smile, finding it difficult to speak up.
Lingfeng nodded, swallowed again, and finally mustered the courage to say, "Master, actually I am a Dual Cultivator of Immortal and Demon!"
Lingfeng truly did not want to reveal this secret unless absolutely necessary. However, since he needed to use Demon Cultivation and Spiritual Energy to enhance the Demon Relic next, he had no choice but to confess to Qing.
Qing was taken aback and scrutinized Lingfeng closely.
Lingfeng dared not meet Qing's gaze, feeling the air grow hot and his cheeks flush.
"I never expected that such talent would appear in the Demon Suppression Sect!" After what felt like an eternity in which the air seemed to thicken, Qing suddenly exclaimed with joy.
Lingfeng was somewhat skeptical about Qing's happiness, but when he raised his head to look at Qing, he saw his face glowing with joy, and it turned out he was indeed very happy.
"Master, me?" Lingfeng once again didn't know what to say, feeling that he was so lucky, as happiness always seemed to come to him without any warning.
"Lingfeng," Qing exhaled, placing his hands on Lingfeng's shoulders and smiling as he said, "When Azure Vine Junior Brother sensed your talent back then, he hoped I could further assess your potential. However, I didn't hold much hope for such matters, so I didn't accept Azure Vine's suggestion. But I never expected that you would truly be a prodigy in both Celestial and Demonic cultivation!"
Lingfeng didn't feel like a prodigy at all; he only believed that cultivation was about passion and the goal he had set when he first arrived in the Cultivation Realm.
With the secret in his heart revealed and Qing's recognition gained, Lingfeng suddenly felt an immense sense of relief.
"Since that's the case, it will be much easier!" Lingfeng stepped back, no longer needing to hide the Spiritual Energy of his Demon Cultivation. He spread his arms wide and let the Spiritual Energy within him flow freely.
At this moment, the two types of Spiritual Energy within Lingfeng had completely merged. It was like a dog and a cat belonging to the same owner; although they were inherently opposing forces, growing up together allowed them to live in harmony over time.
Lingfeng felt no difficulty in simultaneously releasing two types of Spiritual Energy; in fact, he could even sense that both types of Spiritual Energy were empowering him at the same time.
Qing and Wanshitong exchanged astonished glances. Talents who could cultivate both Celestial and Demonic energies were rare, and cultivators capable of simultaneously releasing two types of Spiritual Energy were even rarer. They couldn't miss witnessing such a rare and magnificent scene.
"Master, Big Brother, please step back; I need to set up a formation!"
At this point, Qing and Wanshitong no longer dared to see Lingfeng as just a child. Although his cultivation level was not high, he could fully utilize the two types of Spiritual Energy within him. Moreover, during the assassination of the Demon State Assassin, Lingfeng had inadvertently absorbed a large amount of Spiritual Energy, which he had now completely assimilated.
Without thinking much more about it, they pushed themselves back to the entrance of the secret chamber.
Lingfeng gently closed his eyes. His hands suddenly transformed from palms into fists, and with a series of cracking sounds from his bones, those wooden bookshelves began to rise into the air seemingly out of nowhere.
"Ha!"
As the bookshelves floated in mid-air, Lingfeng suddenly shouted, and the entire secret chamber was filled with a fierce Spiritual Energy that made Qing and Wanshitong gasp in astonishment.
The Spiritual Energy gradually formed a wind field, swirling violently within the chamber, while the bookshelves seemed to be propelled by a Tornado, spinning rapidly in the center of the room.
In an instant, the books flew about, creating a white space.
After a while, the wind in the chamber began to weaken, and the already shattered manuals started to scatter, revealing the bookshelves to the three of them.
Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief, his hands hanging naturally at his sides as he looked at Qing and Wanshitong, waiting for their comments.
"What is this?" Qing asked in confusion.
Lingfeng shrugged casually and replied, "This is my latest invention of a formation, but it requires continuous support from Spiritual Energy!"
He pointed out that several books and swords had formed a Bagua shape, while a floating template in the center appeared to have no Hidden Meaning.
Qing smiled lightly and stepped forward, asking with some confusion, "What kind of formation is this?"
Lingfeng did not answer directly. Instead, he took out a Demon Relic and an Ivory Bone Knife, walked to the center of the bookshelves, and carefully placed the Demon Relic on the floating wooden board. He then secured the Ivory Bone Knife beneath it.
Immediately, the Ivory Bone Knife and Demon Relic seemed to represent opposing Celestial and Demonic forces, each emitting Spiritual Energy that passed through the wooden board as if they were magnetic poles attracting each other, fusing and canceling one another out.
Lingfeng stepped back from the Bagua shape and extended his right index finger to supplement Demonic Energy into the formation.
As the Bagua Formation came into contact with Lingfeng's Demonic Energy, it reacted like a lock being opened by a key. A purple light flickered briefly before falling silent again.
Lingfeng grinned at Wanshitong, who was stretching his neck with curiosity, and said with a smile, "Big brother, try to grab the Demon Relic!"
"Is this what you call a formation?" the Know-It-All said disdainfully as he swaggered toward the Bagua Formation.
Lingfeng tugged at Qing's hand, and the two stepped back a few paces.
"Hey, little brother, watch how I break your formation!" the Know-It-All turned to Lingfeng and said, then without looking at the Bagua Formation, he transformed his hands into fists and gathered two streams of Demonic Energy, casually pushing them toward one of the bookshelves.
However, there was nothing but silence; it remained silent.
Qing was utterly astonished, unable to utter a word, simply staring blankly at the Know-It-All's back.
After a moment, the Know-It-All, who had been smug just moments before, suddenly realized something was off. He quickly turned around only to find everything calm as usual; there was no change at all, and the bookshelf remained intact.
"Could it be that I missed?" The Know-It-All began to doubt his accuracy. This time he focused on his target again, gathering a sphere of Demonic Energy in his hands and roaring as he pushed it toward the bookshelf.
Yet a layer of purple protective membrane emanated from around the bookshelves, which then completely absorbed the Know-It-All's Demonic Energy sphere.
"What... how could this happen?" The Know-It-All was stunned; he had never seen such a strange formation. He couldn't help but wonder if it was an illusion. Even more bizarrely, it absorbed his attack right in front of him.
At that moment, Lingfeng walked over, looking satisfied with his creation. He patted the Know-It-All's shoulder and said, "Don't be surprised; your Spell has already been absorbed by the Demon Relic!"
"Hahaha..." Qing let out a satisfied laugh as he approached, looking pleased at the Bagua Formation. "The ability to absorb your magical power isn't Lingfeng's masterpiece; it's the work of the Demon Relic."
Lingfeng squinted at Qing, knowing that Qing had already figured out its intricacies.
"Lingfeng used magic to set up this formation and then utilized the Demon Relic as an energy source. This way, not only can it consume the Demonic Nature of the Demon Relic, but it also allows the formation to operate continuously without being destroyed. Therefore, attacks imbued with magical power will have no effect on this formation."
Upon hearing Qing's analysis, Lingfeng quickly gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Truly worthy of being the sect leader; your analysis is spot on!"
"Since Spell can't do anything to it, martial arts should work, right?" The All-Knowing One seemed unwilling to give up. As soon as he finished speaking, he drew a dagger, feigned a move, and disappeared from his original spot.
Qing was startled and quickly pulled Lingfeng away, flying far back.
Immediately after, there was a loud rumble as the Bagua Formation emitted a thick purple aura. A fierce wind swept through the secret chamber, and a figure was sent flying out horizontally.
This all happened in just a second, and then everything returned to calm. Not far away, in the corner of the room, sat the astonished All-Knowing One in a daze.
It was rare to see the All-Knowing One in such a disheveled state, which made Lingfeng unable to hold back a laugh.
"Big Brother, are you okay?" Lingfeng hurried over to help the All-Knowing One up.
Such damage was nothing to the All-Knowing One; it was just that it had happened so suddenly. He had completely underestimated the power of this simple formation and had been thrown out without any mental preparation.
"That was amazing, truly amazing!" The All-Knowing One shook his head, mumbling to himself.
"Don't be surprised; Lingfeng borrowed energy from the Demon Relic!" Qing said from the side. "Neither you nor I could break this formation, even if a Spirit Priest were here!"
Lingfeng set up this formation by utilizing the energy of the Demon Relic. The energy from the Demon Relic is powerful; no one in the Cultivation Realm possesses such strength. Therefore, no one can easily destroy this formation. In fact, when attempting to break it, the Demon Relic would naturally retaliate.
