The Profound Nether Sect, one of the three great forces of the West Continent's Heiming County, a sixth-grade sect, was located at the edge of the Profound Ridge Mountain Range. It controlled a massive amount of Heiming County's cultivation resources.

"Brother Chen Feng, Profound Nether Sect is right in front of us. I'll sneak you in through the side door. As long as no one discovers you, you'll be safe in Profound Nether Sect."

The spirit fish pointed at the bright lights up ahead that lit up the dark sky and took up an extremely wide area of land as it spoke softly.

It was obvious that this person was plotting something against the Spirit Fish.

However, he did not point it out. He followed the spirit fish through the night and entered the stone house.

"Pah!"

The moment the two of them walked into the stone house, a white light suddenly lit up, illuminating the pitch-black stone house.

A rank one Mysterious Beast Sect man, wearing a long black robe, revealed a malicious expression. He held a moonlight stone in his hand and was currently looking at the cute and adorable Spirit Fish with a faint smile on his face.

However, when the man in black saw Ye Chenfeng, who was standing behind the spirit fish, his smile instantly froze. A strong killing intent emanated from his body and locked onto him.

"Spirit Fish, how dare you! Not only did you go out on your own, you even brought outsiders to my Xuanming Sect. Do you believe that I will report this to Elder Chu and have him punish you?" The face of the man in black darkened as he threatened coldly.

"Xu Mingwei, why are you in my room? Plus, I don't need you to meddle in my matters."

The Spirit Fish ground its silver teeth as it looked at the man in black and spoke with resentment. However, there was a trace of panic in its eyes.

"Spirit Fish, I'll give you one last chance. Come on, dual cultivation with me. This way, not only can I help you keep your secret, I can also give you some benefits. Otherwise, just wait for Elder Chu's punishment." Xu Mingwei caught the panic in Spirit Fish's eyes and revealed a proud smile as he threatened.

However, he ignored the seriously injured Ye Chenfeng, who had a weak aura.

"You …"

Hearing Xu Mingwei's shameless conditions, Spirit Fish's face turned red with anger. It couldn't wait to pinch this disgusting little fellow to death.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me!"

Ye Chenfeng smiled, revealing a faint smile. He walked towards Xu Mingwei with heavy steps.

"What is it? If you want to take action, do you know the consequences of doing so here? "

Seeing Ye Chenfeng walk over step by step, Xu Mingwei revealed a disdainful smile as he warned him.

"Heavenly Primordial Water, freeze."

The moment Xu Mingwei's voice fell, Ye Chenfeng ignored the damage to his body and forcefully released a strand of Ancient Heavenly Water's power to attack Xu Mingwei.

Although Ye Zichen was severely injured and was unable to use the strongest power of the Ancient Heavenly Water, Xu Mingwei was only at the first level of the Mysterious Beast Sect.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Mingwei was frozen into an ice sculpture by the Heavenly water of Gu Ji. He revealed a terrified expression and lost his ability to move.

"Soulsearch!"

After freezing Xu Mingwei, Ye Zichen immediately released his powerful soul power to enter Xu Mingwei's soul and forcibly searched his soul, obtaining all of his soul memories.

"Hmm, this Xu Mingwei's identity isn't bad. He suits me perfectly."

After forcefully obtaining Xu Mingwei's soul memories, Ye Zichen revealed a faint smile.

Xu Mingwei was an outer court disciple of the Profound Nether Sect. His personality was eccentric and his shrewdness was deep. Although his strength was among the top of the outer sect disciples, he didn't show it, and only amassed enough strength to soar into the sky.

Furthermore, Xu Mingwei did not have a special background, nor did he have any friends. The solitary Xu Mingwei was perfect for Ye Chenfeng to disguise his identity.

"Illusion Dao Tattoo!"

Ye Chenfeng stared at Xu Mingwei for a few minutes. Then, twenty illusory dao patterns appeared on his body and fused into his face, directly transforming into Xu Mingwei's appearance.

Unless a person's soul in the Profound Nether Sect was stronger than Ye Chenfeng's, they would not be able to see through the face of the illusion technique that Ye Chenfeng had created.

"Brother Chen Feng, you..."

The Spirit Fish widened its eyes and mouth in shock as it watched Ye Chenfeng transform into Xu Mingwei.

"It should be safe now." Ye Chenfeng revealed a faint smile as he spoke.

With that, Ye Zichen forcefully released another strand of the Black Inferno Heaven Flame, then injected it into Xu Mingwei's body through the ice. He directly burned him into ashes, then disappeared from the world forever.

"Alright, Spirit Fish, don't be surprised. I'm going to treat my wounds. Eat the thousand year spirit grass and rest early."

With that, Ye Zichen walked to a corner of the room and sat down cross-legged on the cold floor. He controlled the Dao of Life to continue healing, and slowly healed his injuries.

The days passed one by one. Because Ye Chenfeng continuously provided the thousand year spiritual herbs, the spiritual fish were able to eat their fill everyday. Aside from doing some menial work, they spent their remaining time sleeping and absorbing the spiritual energy from the thousand year spiritual herbs.

In the last ten days, the Spirit Fish had eaten more than 50 pieces of the extremely valuable thousand year spirit grass, but her body was like a bottomless pit, no matter how many thousand year spirit herbs she ate, they were unable to awaken her bloodline power. Even her strength was slowly increasing, only reaching the sixth level of the Heavenly Beast Immortal Stage.

However, Ye Zichen knew that the greater the potential of his bloodline, the harder it was to activate, so he did not rush, and took out his secret stash without holding anything back.

The relationship between Ye Zichen and the spiritual fish got closer and closer every day.

"Buzz buzz!"

Just as Ye Zichen turned into Xu Mingwei and hid in the Dark Nether Sect for the twelfth day to recover from his injuries, the communication bead in his arms suddenly vibrated.

"In the outer court disciple competition, the first place will be rewarded with a Mortal Origin Fruit!"

Hearing the message from the Teleportation Pearl, Ye Chenfeng's eyes lit up. He became interested in the Mortal Origin Fruit.

Although the Mortal Origin Fruit did not have a strong spiritual nature and was far inferior to the thousand year spiritual herbs that Ye Zichen had collected, the Mortal Origin Fruit had a miraculous effect, which was the meridian protection.

If Ye Chenfeng could obtain the Mortal Origin Fruit, he would be able to borrow the spirit of the fruit to protect his recently recovered and fragile meridians. He would be able to completely recover with the aid of the Fire Dragon Fruit and the powerful spirit energy of the Water Fire Dragon Fruit.

"Tomorrow, let me witness the true strength of this genius disciple of the Profound Nether Sect. I hope he won't disappoint me."

The corner of Ye Chenfeng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile. The confidence in his eyes made him seem as if he was in control of the entire world.
