None of them dared to sleep, and before the sun had even risen the next day, they got up and continued their journey.
Throughout the journey, everyone sported dark circles under their eyes, as not having slept all night was extremely uncomfortable.
They are now walking for a while, then resting for about an hour, trying to get out of the Shennongjia Forest Area before dark.
Leaning against the tree, Yang Feng didn't rest. Instead, he was thinking about the two women from last night. They were wearing ancient Chinese clothing. Could they be disciples of some hidden ancient sect?
If the two of them were to join forces against me, I wonder what my chances would be.
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting. In short, for Yang Feng, there will always only be one opponent, and that is Ye Aotian.
"Alright, let's continue! Everyone, cheer up! We must leave here before evening, or we'll be doomed if we encounter those swarms of fire ants again. We're not always so lucky that someone will come to our rescue!" Professor Hua took a sip of water, stood up, and shouted loudly.
Everyone was originally very sleepy, but they were immediately awakened by the sound of red fire ants, because they had truly experienced the despair of death, a feeling they would never dare to experience in their lives.
So the group continued their journey through the dense forest.
By noon, everyone was exhausted and had to rest on the flat ground to catch up on sleep.
Just then, Yang Feng sensed some energy fluctuations ahead. He frowned slightly, went to Professor Sun's side, leaned down and whispered, "Professor Sun, I'll go ahead and scout ahead first. Don't worry about me."
After hearing this, Professor Sun pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Alright, be careful. I'll wait for you at the hotel."
He knew Yang Feng wasn't going to scout ahead, but Yang Feng must have his reasons for doing so. Besides, a martial artist's strength is extraordinary, so he felt comfortable letting him go.
Yang Feng turned and walked away quickly, his figure gradually disappearing into the dense jungle.
He was incredibly fast, arriving at the location emitting the energy fluctuations in an instant. Unexpectedly, the energy was emanating from a huge, deep pit.
It turns out there was a deep pit like this in the forest, pitch black inside, and you couldn't see anything.
Without hesitation, Yang Feng unleashed his divine sense and jumped down, landing below in an instant.
Surprisingly, there's a spacious area here, similar to the one we found under the mudflats of the island last time.
Yang Feng's gaze fell upon a large gate not far away, where many martial artists had gathered. Out of curiosity, he lifted his foot and slowly walked over.
"Hmm? Why would a young man come alone? Could he be someone from the martial arts world again?" At this moment, a secular martial artist, whose strength was at the early stage of the Profound Rank, saw Yang Feng walk in from outside and immediately asked in confusion.
"Whether they're from the martial arts world or whatever, this time, everyone has to rely on their luck and skill to obtain the Shennong inheritance. Whoever gets it will be incredibly rich!"
"This fellow is right. This Shennong inheritance is a once-in-four-thousand-years event, and we are lucky to have stumbled upon it in our time. It is said that there will be a complete version of Shennong's Herbal Classic and Shennong's alchemy furnace inside!"
Hearing their chatter, Yang Feng raised an eyebrow. So it was the Shennong legacy. This was going to be interesting. He wanted to see what it was.
Yang Feng turned his gaze to the direction ahead, where there was a huge short dragon stone. It looked very hard, but if one had enough strength, it should be possible to break through it.
But why didn't those martial artists do that?
Yang Feng randomly found a young man of similar age and asked, "Friend, why don't you go in? With enough power, you should be able to break through the Short Dragon Stone, right?"
However, the young man glanced at Yang Feng with arrogance and indifference, as if he were looking at an idiot, then turned and left without saying a word, holding his long sword in both hands.
Yang Feng's lips twitched. Looking at his expression, he was even more arrogant than himself. He really wanted to punch him. He never thought that he would also have a moment of being humiliated.
"Brother, don't you know? There's a very profound formation around that Dragon-Slaying Stone. The young man you just asked about is none other than Wanyan Chong, a genius in the martial arts world!"

Chapter 418 A Genius Youth in the Martial Arts World
"Oh? People from the martial arts world have already come out? So fast!" Yang Feng was stunned, his expression becoming somewhat solemn. He also knew some information about the martial arts world.
It's said that the martial artists inside are all exceptionally powerful, almost capable of crushing ordinary martial artists. Could it be that the two stunningly beautiful women I saw last night were from the martial arts world?!
Isn't this a bit too much? They seem to be around the same age as me, and one of them might even be a little younger.
"Brother, you're a worldly person, right?" Yang Feng glanced at the man beside him who was a few years older than him and asked casually.
“That’s right, I am a martial artist from the secular world, and my strength is at least at the mid-stage of the Profound Rank. I am the eldest disciple of the Ming Cult. My name is Zhang Wu. May I ask which secular sect you are a disciple of, brother? Since we both came alone, why don’t we team up and look after each other when we go inside?”
Zhang Wu showed no arrogance whatsoever, but instead spoke in a very low voice.
When he's out in public, he tries to control his temper, otherwise he might offend someone.
"My name is Yang Feng. I am just a random cultivator from the secular world. It just so happens that my family has an incomplete martial arts technique, so I accidentally embarked on the path of martial arts cultivation."
Yang Feng thought for a moment and decided not to reveal the truth. After all, he couldn't easily tell others that such a thing existed in his body, otherwise he might be used as a test subject one day.
"Oh... I see. I see you have extraordinary talent. How about you come to our Ming Cult sect to learn martial arts after this trip? Our sect is a top-tier sect in the secular world. Although it's not as powerful as the major sects in the martial arts world, it's still a very good option for us secular martial artists."
Zhang Wu's gaze towards Yang Feng had changed somewhat. He hadn't expected that, relying on his incomplete martial arts cultivation technique and his own exploration, he could cultivate to the point where there were fluctuations of qi within his body, which was already quite impressive.
Although he couldn't sense Yang Feng's true strength, the fluctuations in the airflow within his body told Zhang Wu that Yang Feng's strength was definitely not low.
At least he's about the same level.
He's just a rogue cultivator, yet he's achieved so much. If he came to his sect and obtained a lot of cultivation resources, his strength would probably skyrocket!
"Uh... thank you, but I'm used to being carefree and don't like being restricted by the sect. Besides, my strength has already reached its limit and I can't break through anymore. If I force a breakthrough, I might suffer a qi deviation..."
Yang Feng was telling the truth this time. The cultivation technique he practiced could only be cultivated up to the peak of Qi Refining, and there were no more innate cultivation techniques after that.
For now, he can only accumulate experience and a solid foundation. It won't be too late for him to break through when the time is right and he obtains the subsequent innate techniques.
Once you've laid a solid foundation, breakthroughs become as easy as drinking water, though the initial stages might be a bit tough.
