When Lin Feng emerged from the Secret Realm, Azure Profound True Person was already waiting outside the stone hall. Sunlight spilled through the gaps in the hall onto him, making his blue-green Daoist robes gleam. His complexion was much better than it had been a month ago, and the bandages on his left hand had been removed. Only now and then did he unconsciously flex his fingers, as though checking how well his injury had healed.
At the sight of Lin Feng, Azure Profound True Person's gaze lingered on him for a moment, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. He looked Lin Feng up and down, as though getting to know him all over again.
"Your aura... has changed quite a bit. It seems you gained a great deal." Azure Profound True Person spoke slowly, with a measure of gratification in his voice.
Lin Feng cupped his fists. "Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master. I found the cultivation chamber and advanced both the Chaos God Art and the God Emperor Scripture by one level. Although I didn't break through to great perfection demigod, my combat strength is several times greater than before. I also discovered a God Emperor Crystal in the cultivation chamber and borrowed its energy. Otherwise, I could never have advanced two cultivation techniques in just one month."
Azure Profound True Person nodded, a gratified smile appearing on his face. He reached out and patted Lin Feng's shoulder. "Good. You progressed even faster than I expected. I thought you would have to enter the Secret Realm at least once more before you could advance the Chaos God Art.
"It seems you had another fortuitous encounter in the cultivation chamber. I'd only heard the founding patriarch mention that God Emperor Crystal. I never imagined it truly existed.
