The global anomaly occurred quickly and dissipated just as fast, but even as the storm clouds cleared, people were still eager to talk about it.
Particularly martial artists and cultivators with a certain level of training felt nostalgic for the benefits brought by the storm, as it contained traces of special energy, allowing many who were at a bottleneck stage or in the midst of cultivating to break through.
Of course, this caused a sensation within the scope of Earth, and now with the continuous promotion of the Martial Academy of Xuanyuan Nation, more and more people were practicing martial arts, almost achieving Ye Feng's initial goal of universal martial training.
As Xuanyuan Nation kept promoting it, other powerful nations in the world also began to implement methods of cultivation. After all, the upper echelons of power understood that there was probably about a year left before the Demon Horn Tribe would launch a major attack, making the implementation of universal martial training imminent.
However, unlike Earth, the entire Outer Battlefield was engulfed in extreme unrest as the Four Great Powers, including the Independent Cultivator League and many high-level great powers, mobilized in an attempt to find the source and cause of the storm.
Because the major powers generally believed that such anomalies heralded the emergence of incomparable treasures, but no matter how much everyone investigated, they found nothing.
It seemed as if the storm had appeared out of nowhere and disappeared just as mysteriously, ultimately forcing the powerful entities of the major powers to give up their search.
Ye Feng, the person directly involved, was unaware of the commotion caused in the Outer Battlefield and on Earth, as he was completely immersed in his cultivation.
It must be said that this Qi of Xuanhuang was much more advanced than Origin Energy, and not only could it be used to cultivate the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints but could also be used to improve the Mental Power Nucleus.
Given the current situation, Ye Feng knew that his priority was to cultivate the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints to Great Perfection, so he strategically slowed down the cultivation of the Mental Power Nucleus.
After all, the Mental Power Nucleus had already undergone an initial transformation, so it made sense to set it aside and adapt to it for some time.
As copious Qi of Xuanhuang surged forth from the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll and entered Ye Feng's body.
Under the cultivation method of the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints, this Qi of Xuanhuang consciously targeted and charged toward each acupoint.
Acupoints that were previously difficult to open even with Origin Energy began to loosen and were successfully penetrated under the influence of the Qi of Xuanhuang.
"Such speed! If this continues, it won't be long before I can fully cultivate this technique to the Great Perfection Realm!"
Ye Feng couldn't help feeling invigorated, but he also noticed that although the acupoints were being opened quickly, the consumption of the Qi of Xuanhuang was equally rapid.
After observing for a while, Ye Feng had a rough understanding in his heart, and he then fully dedicated himself, methodically continuing his cultivation.
Time, like a fleeting steed, always slips away when one is least aware, and in the blink of an eye, three months passed.
On a certain day after three months, Ye Feng finally opened his eyes and stepped out of his cultivation state.
"Huff..."
Ye Feng took a deep breath, and in an instant, a long breath swept out like a dragon, lasting for an extended period.
Furthermore, Ye Feng's eyes shone with bright brilliance.
After more than three months of cultivation, the Qi of Xuanhuang from the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll had finally been absorbed and refined in its entirety, and Ye Feng's acupoint count had successfully reached two thousand nine hundred seventy.
"To think, this secluded cultivation allowed me to open several dozen acupoints in one go, this pace is quite fast. My Spirit Essence has strengthened threefold compared to before, and my combat power has greatly increased!"
Ye Feng secretly estimated that if he now used the Purple Thunder Heaven-Cracking Sword, it would not drain all the Spirit Essence in his body with a single strike as it had on Two Pillar Mountain.
"Now, I can at least unleash three strikes, and with the Royal Authority Divine Seal, assuming I burn my acupoints, I can definitely execute it twice!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but clench his fists slowly. In other words, he was almost invincible under the Void Realm.
Any Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm was no longer his match, and even against a Half-Step Void Realm opponent, with the aid of the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, Ye Feng was confident he could at least put up a fight.
"Good, overall this secluded cultivation has brought tremendous gains. Both the Three Thousand Acupoints and the Mental Power Nucleus have greatly improved. It looks like it's time to come out of seclusion!"
Saying that, Ye Feng slowly stood up.
But suddenly, he remembered that not only did he possess the Purple Thunder Heaven-Cracking Sword, but also the Sword of Royal Authority.
This Sword of Royal Authority was forged from the enhancement of the Sky-breaking Divine Spear and Emperor's Sword among others, and its power was in no way inferior to that of the Purple Thunder Heaven-Cracking Sword.
Because it complemented his techniques better, Ye Feng found it more comfortable to use. For the same level of power, it consumed less Spirit Essence.
In light of this, the Purple Thunder Heaven-Cracking Sword seemed somewhat redundant.
"Ah, right now, Qingyan doesn't have a suitable offensive magic treasure. The Sky-breaking Sword will be perfect for her!"
Thinking to himself, Ye Feng's figure flickered and he disappeared on the spot. In the next moment, he appeared in the backyard behind the pavilions and terraces. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
At this time, Hong Qingyan was still sitting cross-legged on the pavilion, seemingly having been in secluded cultivation there for a while.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, immediately noting that although Qingyan's realm had not changed much, her aura was more harmonious, indicating she was steadily approaching the Perfected Golden Core Realm.
```
And thanks to the several Hun Yuan Lotus Seeds she had consumed before, Hong Qingyan faintly touched the threshold of the Yin-Yang Realm.
"I almost forgot; I should pay more attention to see where there might be more Hun Yuan Lotus Seeds and strive to help Qingyan break through to the Yin-Yang Realm as soon as possible!"
As Ye Feng thought this, he slowly walked over.
Hong Qingyan seemed to sense someone approaching, so she immediately stopped cultivating and opened her eyes to see that it was Ye Feng, her face instantly filled with joy.
"Big Brother Ye, have you finished your secluded cultivation?" Hong Qingyan quickly stood up and asked.
Ye Feng nodded and said with a smile, "How has it been, waiting for me for over three months? Didn't you feel bored staying here?"
Hong Qingyan shook her head and replied, "Not at all, I've always liked the quiet. It's usually very peaceful here, which I enjoy. Besides, knowing that you, Big Brother Ye, were nearby made me less inclined to go anywhere else."
Ye Feng nodded slightly, then with a flip of his wrist, he took out the Purple Thunder Heaven-Cracking Sword.
"This Sky-breaking Sword is for you. Spend the next two or three days getting a feel for it. Although with your current cultivation realm you cannot wield it, I've filled it with Spirit Essence, which will allow you to launch an attack with power comparable to a Great Power at the Peak Realm!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng handed the Sky-breaking Sword over.
Hong Qingyan didn't accept it, but waved her hand and said, "Big Brother Ye, this sword has extraordinary power. I saw you use it at Two Pillar Mountain. You should keep it for yourself; you need it more."
Ye Feng chuckled and replied, "I have another magic treasure that is more suitable for me. Take the Sky-breaking Sword. Remember to comprehend it well. This will give me peace of mind, knowing it can save you at a critical moment."
Initially, Hong Qingyan wanted to decline, but Ye Feng had already stuffed the Sky-breaking Sword into her hands while remembering to add with a pout, "We're already husband and wife; you shouldn't be so formal with me. Take it quickly, or I'll get angry!"
After hearing this, Hong Qingyan accepted the sword, and with a smile she said, "Actually, Big Brother Ye, while you were using it at Two Pillar Mountain, I watched you perform those sword moves so many times that I've learned them."
"Oh? You learned just by watching from the side?" Ye Feng asked somewhat surprised.
"Yes. Do you want me to demonstrate it for you?" Hong Qingyan said confidently.
However, Ye Feng shook his head with a sigh, "Everyone says I have strong talent, but it seems my wife has the real talent. I practiced so hard on Two Pillar Mountain, and yet just by watching you've learned it."
Hong Qingyan couldn't help but laugh, "Back then I was bored, so I kept watching you. Naturally, I learned after seeing it many times."
As she spoke, she grasped the hilt of the sword in both hands, ready to execute the moves.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly stopped her, "Don't perform it now. I've filled it with Spirit Essence, allowing you to strike with full force. If you release it now, wouldn't that be a waste?"
"That makes sense. In that case, I won't perform it," agreed Hong Qingyan, nodding.
Ye Feng said, "You ponder over it here. I'm going out to the square to have a look. I'll spend a couple of days interacting with them, offering pointers to those little fellows."
Hong Qingyan nodded in agreement, and then Ye Feng's figure flashed, reaching the inside of the Spirit Pool.
When people in the Spirit Pool saw their lord suddenly appear, they all withdrew from their cultivation state.
"After cultivating for so long, take a break, everyone. Gather at the square. Over the next three days, I will discuss issues related to cultivation. You're welcome to ask any questions you have; I believe this will be of help to you!"
After speaking, Ye Feng vanished on the spot, and in the next moment, he appeared on the square.
"What did our lord just say? Our lord is going to personally teach us? Did I hear that right?" a Northern Border soldier said excitedly.
"You heard right; the lord did say just that. Think about it, it's been almost two years since the Martial Academy was established, and our lord, as the dean, hasn't held a single class there yet. Now we're in luck to be getting special instruction directly from him!" a Martial Academy student exclaimed.
"Forget your musings; those who are clever have already left. Hurry up and grab a good spot, and listen carefully to the lord's teachings. Don't miss this excellent opportunity!" someone suddenly shouted.
"Damn, you guys move fast. Wait for me, hey!"
Instantly, all the prodigies in the Spirit Pool were in an uproar, each of them rushing toward the square as if they were flying.
And outside the square, the students with slightly lesser qualifications also became excited and thrilled upon hearing that their lord would be teaching.
Ye Feng sat cross-legged on a meditation mat on the high platform, looking down at his subordinates filled with excitement, feeling very moved.
This reminded him of the days when he was still in the Northern Border, how the Old Northern King would gather everyone in the training grounds on the first and fifteenth days of each month to impart Martial Dao.
Gesturing for everyone to quiet down, Ye Feng began to share his Martial Dao experience. Over these three days, he was extremely forthcoming, imparting freely, and the crowd below listened very attentively.
The last half-day was for an open question-and-answer session, and everyone was enthusiastic in asking questions, to which Ye Feng provided detailed explanations and answers.
Then, on the afternoon of the third day, Hong Qingyan suddenly received an urgent message. As soon as she read the message, her expression changed drastically.
