His body gradually weakened, and his consciousness also slowly became blurry, but Chu Feng clenched his teeth and persevered. His thin lips already revealed a bit of blood-red colour, but he did not loosen his mouth. Although he tightly clenched his teeth, his consciousness gradually became blurry, and the pain on his lips could no longer wake him up.

He, who had lost consciousness, followed closely behind, sinking into the water and falling unconscious.

Without knowing how long he had been here, the hot and dry Chu Feng gradually felt a bit of coldness and his consciousness also slowly recovered. He looked around and saw that the originally vast lakeshore had now dried up. Traces of cracks could be faintly seen at the bottom of the lake. However, it was no longer as hot as it was now.

After standing up and moving his stiff body, he jumped out from the bottom of the lake. When he saw that the ground had been roasted until it became scorched earth, a feeling of vicissitudes arose in his heart. The jade-green land on the ground had become like this in the blink of an eye.

After a short while of sighing, Chu Feng started to take the main culprits for himself.

The fireball that was originally ten feet in diameter was now only the size of a fist. The red glow on it had also faded, leaving behind only a lump of black ore.

Just as Chu Feng was focusing his gaze on them, a few figures flashed out from the horizon. Chu Feng who was in a daze quickly returned to his senses and he quickly squatted down. He grabbed the black rocks on the ground and ran towards the hill that was a few steps away.

Because at the bottom of the hill, there was a dragon-bearing lair that he could hide in. Although Chu Feng did not know what that pitch-black stone was, judging from its destructive power, it was definitely an extraordinary existence.

In the blink of an eye, the few people in the sky appeared where Chu Feng was just standing. Their gazes also looked everywhere, but they carried traces of suspicion. Finally, they said a bit helplessly, "I'm afraid that it's already been destroyed within the Burning Heaven Fire."

The bystander nodded slightly and said, "Looks like we wasted our time this time." His face was a little wrinkled, but after a moment, he suddenly said, "It's nothing. That was originally an existence that defied the will of the heavens. It would not be easy for us to meet each other in this life."

His tone was filled with joy, and the elder next to him smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you seem to be more gentle than before."

"Hehe, Senior Brother, don't make fun of me." As he spoke, his face actually blushed with embarrassment.

In the blink of an eye, the two elders that looked like Dao bones disappeared.

Chu Feng, who was drilling in the cave, did not dare to make the slightest movement.

Because, just now, the atmosphere emitted by the old man who slightly changed his mood already shook Chu Feng so he spat out blood. So, Chu Feng carefully decided to stay in the cave for a while because he was afraid that his slight movements would attract the attention of the expert who left.

The stench that was emitted from the dark cave made Chu Feng a bit dizzy. But luckily, when he entered, he already understood the situation inside when he saw the Back Dragon Scale Armor. So, just now, when he jumped in, Chu Feng was already prepared. However, it seemed that the situation wasn't looking good.

After a long time, Chu Feng supported himself up and walked out of the cave.

After walking out of the underground cave, Chu Feng hurriedly took deep breaths. His dirty face was very pale, and the traces of blood on the corner of his mouth were a bit obvious. He looked quite haggard.

After gasping for breath for a while, Chu Feng sat quietly at the foot of the hill and started to meditate. As Chu Feng went deeper into the cultivation, the injuries in his body gradually recovered. The skin that was a bit withered from being grilled became crystal clear from the circulation of the force. Not a single wound could be seen.

As the sun set over the horizon, its light faded into the western horizon. In its place were the stars that filled the sky, as well as that full moon.

Chu Feng who was immersed in recovery could not feel any changes in the outside world at all. Soon, the night sky became dense and the glittering stars looked very dazzling. However, on the scorched earth, the black-coloured rock that was quietly lying next to Chu Feng had traces of blue-coloured brilliance being lit up by the moonlight and stars.

However, Chu Feng who was cultivating did not discover any of that.

"Whew."

Chu Feng deeply breathed out, then he suddenly opened his eyes. His pale and colorless face also slightly improved.

After standing up, he looked up at the distant horizon and saw that it was already a bit white.

With the specks of light, Chu Feng examined the burnt wilderness. Looking at the reeds that were burnt to ashes and dried up by the roasted lake, Chu Feng felt a bit absent-minded. In the month that he spent in that place, Chu Feng was already used to every single blade of grass and every tree. However, in the blink of an eye, there was nothing left and traces of sorrow instantly surged out.

However, in the blink of an eye, he had recovered. He murmured, "I think he will recover back to his original state in the next year!" Chu Feng who had thought through these slightly sad thoughts couldn't help but recover.

However, in that instant, the Clear Spring Sword Technique flashed into Chu Feng's mind.

He closed his eyes and continuously demonstrated the Clear Spring Sword Technique's moves in his mind, over and over again. It was unknown how many times he demonstrated it, but Chu Feng who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them. He kept on saying, "I understand, I understand ?"

An extremely joyous expression appeared on his face.

He had already practiced the Clear Spring Sword Technique for half a year, but he could not find any traces of its essence. Although his master and the deaf-mute old man had demonstrated it to him before, even if Chu Feng was a heaven warping genius, he still could not understand the profound meaning behind it.

Only until now did Chu Feng clearly see the essence of the Clear Spring Sword Technique when he thought of it. It was also in that instant that Chu Feng understood a bit about the way of the sword.

After waking up, Chu Feng's expression changed slightly when he saw himself like this. He muttered, "I need to find a place to wash up. The dirt is somewhat speechless."

Thinking to that point, Chu Feng couldn't help but frown. The surrounding hundred miles were all scorched earth. Where was he to find water? Thinking of that, Chu Feng couldn't help looking to the west.

Mount Shu, do you want to go back now?

Chu Feng who was deep in thought fiercely shook his head and muttered, "According to what I've heard, there's still two months until the Newcomer's Assembly. There's no need to rush back." As he spoke, he picked up the fist-sized rock on the ground and walked towards the east.
