Chen Fei took a few steps forward and saw a meditation cushion and a low table on the ground. It looked very much as though someone had once cultivated here.
Chen Fei glanced around. Every arrangement was exactly the same as in Kou Yuanheng's memories.
Chen Fei raised his head toward the top of the cave and sent out a stream of elemental force. The vault, which should have been utterly empty, suddenly revealed writing as the elemental force flowed into it.
Several thousand characters sprawled across it, detailing the cultivation secrets of the Mountain Binding Art.
Given Kou Yuanheng's nature, if he discovered a cultivation art, he would certainly destroy it after learning it. This cave would not have been spared either.
But in reality, the moment Kou Yuanheng saw this cultivation art, his mind had already been silently contaminated by anomalous power.
Learning the Mountain Binding Art had merely deepened the process of that contamination.
By the time Kou Yuanheng finished reading the cultivation art, the contamination was complete, and he left the cave in a daze.
Afterward, all memories concerning the cave became blurred, and he instinctively ignored it in his daily life.
As Kou Yuanheng continued cultivating, this effect became increasingly profound, until the accumulated burden became impossible to reverse and the seed completely fused with his mind.
Chen Fei looked up at the cultivation art on the vault. He could sense an exceedingly concealed force attempting to enter his mind within the Sea of Consciousness through his eyes.
But Chen Fei had anticipated this and directly blocked that force.
Even if Chen Fei had not taken precautions, the mind of someone at the Mid Joint Aperture Realm would have detected this irregularity. This was also why the cave had not tried to bewitch Chen Fei
