Half a time unit had passed, and Tang Feng stood up, ready to leave. However, he suddenly seemed to remember something: "Right, you just said you could sense another you. Where is she now?"

  Since he had already promised Ling Yue to help her find the four strands of spiritual soul, he should take some responsibility. As for the first one she sensed, Tang Feng naturally had to investigate and prepare for the future.

  Little did he expect, Ling Que's answer nearly made him collapse.

  "It's right here! It shouldn't be far from our current location."

  Tang Feng was stunned on the spot in an instant.

  "Otherwise, do you think I'd fly here with this broken armor? Ling Hui's face turned pale as he spoke slowly: "I sensed her aura, that's why I came. Anyway, we'll eventually merge into one body in the future, if I get caught by those people, I'll be enslaved just the same, might as well come here to find her and let her merge with me."

  "But if you can sense her, then she must also be able to sense you? That means our current situation is very dangerous?" Tang Feng's expression turned serious, because Ling Jue had just told him that those four strands of spiritual energy each possessed an overwhelming advantage over him.

  "Before, she could sense me, but I was beaten by that Fire Phoenix for so long, now my breath is very weak, and she can't judge my position either. I'm the same, don't know where her specific location is." Ling Jue's small hands were placed under her chin, "But what makes me curious is that her breath is sometimes there and sometimes not, and it seems like she doesn't have much interest in me either."

  "Didn't you say that your goals were all the same, to find each other, devour each other and merge into one!"

  "That's what they say, but the five strands of my soul represent my five different personalities. The overbearing one has a strong desire to possess, and if it were her, she would definitely come at any cost to devour me. Next is the venomous one, then the charming one, I'm only fourth, and the worst is the apathetic one, if it were her, she should have no interest in anything."

  "Wait a minute." Tang Feng sorted out the thoughts in his mind, "I'd like to ask, if you were to devour each other, what would happen?"

  "No matter who swallows whom, it's still me in the end. The only difference is the process and the dominant personality of the result. For example, if I'm swallowed by a tyrannical person, then the person standing in front of you will be very tyrannical, she may not even care about our agreement, and might even harm you."

  Tang Feng thought for a moment, then said resolutely: "In that case, I'd rather you devour them all." The five personalities of Ling Que were not very good, except for the kind one.

  "So I need your help. Their experiences are not very clear to me, but they should be about the same, all attached to living or dead objects, because relying on a single strand of soul is impossible to survive."

  "Should we go take a look at what you're like now?" Tang Feng's heart was itching with anticipation.

  Ling Jie shook his head: "No, your strength is too weak, I don't want anything to happen to you! After all, you are my first acknowledged master."

  Tang Feng gently persuaded: "You just said that her breath is sometimes there and sometimes not, and she's not very interested in you. Based on this reasoning, she shouldn't be a domineering or venomous personality, but rather a cold one. It's also possible that she was seriously injured. If we don't go find her now, it will definitely be more difficult when she recovers later."

  "I'm badly hurt too!"

  "But you have me!"

  "How can you be sure she doesn't have an owner of her own by her side?!"

  "Alright, let's sneak in and take a look. If the situation is really as I said, then we'll devour her. If not, we'll come out again."

  Ling Jie's face turned pale and she stomped her foot: "You're just a low-ranking yellow stage cultivator, you can't even protect yourself, how can you help me devour her?"

  Tang Feng chuckled: "No diamond, no porcelain business! I can possess strength comparable to a top-notch middle-tier Heaven's Chosen in a short period of time!"

  Ling Jue's face stiffened, staring straight at Tang Feng, as if trying to see a joking expression on his face.

  "This is my trump card, if you don't acknowledge me as your master, I won't reveal this secret!" Tang Feng said with a determined tone.

  So anxiously going to help Ling Huaiyan devour another one, Tang Feng also had his own plans. Some things are better settled as soon as possible, and now he and the other Ling Huaiyan have become natural enemies. If she was really injured at this moment, of course, it would be a good opportunity to take advantage of her illness and end her life.

  Even if she wasn't injured, couldn't she outrun him?

  Seeing Tang Feng being so insistent, Ling Jue Yan didn't dare to refute anything anymore. After all, Tang Feng was her master. She could only repeatedly warn Tang Feng to be extremely careful.

  The eerie and oppressive atmosphere that had been felt earlier was still present within the depths of Qu Ting Shan. As for this unexplored place, it was naturally fraught with danger everywhere.

  Tang Feng converged his aura to the extreme as he advanced, trying not to be detected by the spiritual beasts lurking here, and managed to avoid many dangers.

  What surprised Tang Feng was that after Ling Jueyan bit herself, she could actually enter and exit her own soul freely. As for this, the little girl's explanation was that there was a heart mark of Tang Feng in her body, so she could come and go as she pleased.

  Tang Feng's head ached as he clearly remembered that Ling Jue had eaten dozens of yin souls last time. He repeatedly warned her, absolutely not to eat the yin souls of those powerful masters in her heart, for they were not only the key to opening the Charm Shadow Space but also the source of Tang Feng's killing move energy.

  Ling Jie's face was filled with a satisfied expression, and she nodded in agreement. However, when Tang Feng wasn't paying attention, she would occasionally take advantage of the opportunity to swallow a yin soul whole. To her, devouring yin souls was a great way to heal herself.

  Moreover, Ling Yu had a very special ability, that was the recognition and perception of spiritual beasts, beyond Tang Feng's imagination. She was simply a spiritual beast expert.

  Thanks to her guidance, Tang Feng was able to avoid some conflicts with the spiritual beasts on his path forward. He didn't even need to see those spiritual beasts, just being far away, Ling Jue could accurately tell the names and levels of those spiritual beasts.

  After several days, Tang Feng gradually figured out the level division of the spiritual beasts.

  In this world, a first-class spiritual beast has combat power equivalent to that of a ninth-grade cultivator. A second-class spiritual beast is equivalent to an upper-grade yellow-stage cultivator, a third-class one is equivalent to a middle-grade Xuan-stage cultivator, and a fourth-class one is equivalent to a lower-grade Di-stage cultivator. Further up, a fifth-class one is equivalent to an upper-grade Di-stage cultivator, and a sixth-class one is equivalent to a middle-grade Tian-stage cultivator!

  Of course, this is just a vague and general division. Spirit beasts also have their own unique powers, which can often greatly enhance their combat strength. However, spirit beasts are not human after all, and their fighting styles are far less flexible and varied than those of humans. So sometimes it's not possible to judge their combat strength solely by their level. Spirit beasts and humans can be said to have their respective strengths and weaknesses. Only when they truly clash can one test the true extent of their abilities.

  These days, Tang Feng encountered a large number of powerful three-stage spirit beasts. They were either in groups or alone, roaming around the mountains and forests, competing for territory, hunting and killing prey, and from time to time, one could hear some earth-shaking roars that made people's hearts tremble with fear.

  However, with Ling Hui as a guide, Tang Feng didn't need to have any contact with them at all.

  After walking for a few more days, the level of the spiritual beasts began to rise, but their numbers became relatively scarce. Most were fourth-order, and occasionally they would encounter fifth-order ones. Tang Feng naturally had to be careful not to stray too far. At night when resting, Tang Feng no longer dared to act as freely as before, always maintaining a vigilant heart. Even starting a fire to cook was not allowed, fearing that it would provoke them. When hungry, he could only rely on wild fruits to fill his belly.

  The trump card can only be used once, and Tang Feng didn't want to waste the opportunity on these small fries.

  During this time, Tang Feng also became bolder and once found a fourth-order spiritual beast to try his hand. Although Ling Yu told Tang Feng the weakness of this spiritual beast and how to fight it, Tang Feng still ended up defeated and fleeing. If not for the ingenious hidden weapons that made the spiritual beast suffer greatly, if not for the unbroken armor's protection on his body, Tang Feng would have been seriously injured.

  After that experience, Tang Feng never went to look for trouble again. A yellow stage upper boundary realm, dealing with a spiritual beast equivalent to the earth stage lower boundary, was indeed a bit difficult.

  When Tang Feng fully entered the territory of the fifth-order spiritual beast, his nerves were stretched to the limit. This place was surrounded by some top-notch masters at the Earth Stage, and a slight carelessness could lead to complete destruction.

  This should already be considered the interior of Qū Tíng Shān, although Tang Feng doesn't know how big the entire Qū Tíng Shān is. On the territory of the fifth-stage spiritual beast, a few sixth-stage spiritual beasts have appeared, and according to Líng Jiě Yán's words, sixth-stage spiritual beasts should be the powerful spiritual beasts of Qū Tíng Shān.

  These spirit beasts were far more formidable than the ones they had encountered before, and their perception was also much better. They would often stare at Tang Feng's hidden location for a long time from a distance before walking away.

  Fortunately, Ling Jueyan told Tang Feng that the distance to another self should not be far away, and it's just nearby. Last time she flew over with the bad armor, she sensed that another self's breath was lurking around here.

  Tang Feng involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. If he were to continue further, Tang Feng himself didn't know if he could make it. The danger level was too high at that point, and he would have to consider whether he should retreat.

  After so many days, Ling Jue's injuries have healed a lot, and the spiritual energy he obtained during Tang Feng's cultivation has also increased significantly.

  Because she had suppressed her own aura, Ling Yu was currently unable to sense where the other her was specifically located. The other party was also unable to perceive her and could only rely on Tang Feng to search for her.

  Tang Feng hid during the day and went out at night, still covering himself with mud to conceal his sweat smell, searching everywhere like a wastrel.

  Days of futile searching have passed, and I've become more refined as a person. Searching for my goal in the perilous mountains while also trying to survive is equivalent to indirectly cultivating myself.
