Huang Xiao's laughter rang out loudly, leaving several Half-Step Martial Realm disciples of the Heavenly Demon Hall nearby muttering to themselves.
"Aftereffects of cultivation deviation?"
"It's over. Chao Jue had no hope back then and even lost his life. I thought this brat might be better than Chao Jue, giving us a sliver of hope, but he doesn't seem reliable either. Is he talking nonsense?"
Of course, Huang Xiao knew nothing of their thoughts. He laughed aloud, releasing all his pent-up feelings without restraint.
Only after a good while did Huang Xiao stop laughing.
A calm heart naturally feels cool. If my heart is calm, what can this gale do? In my heart, wouldn't it be no more than a gentle breeze? Why deliberately suppress it? Huang Xiao thought with some excitement. Perhaps when the gale around me can no longer affect me, when it feels like a gentle breeze to me, my state of mind will truly have settled. Eldest Senior Brother, thank you!
Huang Xiao remained on the summit. Yue Cheng and Yin Huju had both come by, but neither went up to the summit. They merely questioned the disciples standing guard.
From those disciples, they learned a little about Huang Xiao's situation on the summit.
Huang Xiao simply sat there, neither eating nor drinking, leaving Yue Cheng terribly anxious.
"Junior Brother, what are you trying to do?" Yin Huju asked, holding Yue Cheng back.
"What else? Can this brat break through to the Void Martial Realm by sitting there in a daze?" Yue Cheng roared. "There are only five days left! Never mind the ten days he's already wasted here, but surely he should spend the last five trying to break through in the Spirit-Gathering Formation?"
Yin Huju shook his head, then glanced toward the summit
