[Note: Copying will immediately max out your proficiency. Basic skills will be automatically upgraded to the final version.]

Yu Luoning looked at the copyable list and took a deep breath.

Copying martial arts techniques became her only means of survival.

Feng Qiguang can make her replicate quite a lot, but what can she do to survive right now?

She is still a mortal and doesn't even have spiritual power, so how can she use those magical artifacts?

Yu Luoning directly ruled out the category of magical artifacts.

Judging from the name, the Pure Yang Foundation Strengthening Method should be practiced by men.

Yu Luoning rejected the idea without hesitation.

Even with all the precious cultivation techniques Feng Qiguang possessed, they were still like paper in front of cultivators from the Purple Mansion realm.

Even if you copy someone to the maximum level, what good will it do?

In her anxiety, her gaze fell upon a line of words.

【Flying Through the Sky Technique (Beginner)】

primary?

Yu Luoning's eye twitched.

Further down the list, in the corner, there's a line of small, almost illegible gray text.

[The basic cultivation technique will be automatically upgraded; the first use can borrow the spiritual power of the connected target.]

Yu Luoning's heart tightened suddenly.

Borrowing spiritual power?

In other words, even if she doesn't have any spiritual power herself, she can still borrow some spiritual power to escape.

Do we even need to choose?

It's naturally the art of levitation.

Feng Qiguang was tied to the stone platform and watched helplessly as the chubby figure approached step by step, and he felt terrible.

"I'm warning you! You're not allowed to come any closer!"

Yu Luoning paused, her eyes filled with unreadable emotions.

Feng Qiguang's reaction made her seem like a lecher.

But if it weren't for the need to survive, she would never want to stage any scene of forcibly taking a man in her life.

She steeled herself and turned back to look at the Cloud Cave Master, her voice weak: "Senior, he is unwilling."

The Cloud Cave Master scoffed, his tone impatient: "If he doesn't want to, why don't you use force?"

"Wouldn't that make me a notorious womanizer?"

The Cloud Cave Master narrowed his eyes. "So you want to die?"

Yu Luoning: "..."

She shook her head, very sincerely.

"Senior," Yu Luoning tried to cling to the last vestige of her conscience, "dual cultivation requires mutual consent..."

The Cloud Cave Master had clearly run out of patience, and she raised her hand to press down.

The gray-white patterns on the cave floor became even more dazzling.

Feng Qiguang groaned, veins bulging on his forehead, his spiritual power being forcibly drawn out by the formation and pulled along the chains.

Yu Luoning fared even worse. She had no spiritual power left in her body, and the foreign force was forced into her meridians, causing her to faint from the pain and almost bleed to death on the spot.

The Cloud Cave Master said, "The Unity Array is complete. If you two don't act within an incense stick's time, then you'll both die."

Feng Qiguang's eyes practically blazed with fury: "Shameless! You old hag!"

The Cloud Cave Master smiled sinisterly: "Go ahead and curse. The harsher your curses, the happier I'll be."

Yu Luoning gritted her teeth, cold sweat dripping down her temples.

Yu Luoning, oh Yu Luoning! Who cares about morality now? You're about to lose your life!

She forcefully suppressed her trembling voice and whispered to Feng Qiguang:

"I don't want to touch you either."

"But if we don't do as she says, we'll all die. I know you want revenge; once we survive, we'll kill her together."

Feng Qiguang was taken aback, and spoke with difficulty: "Kill her? How could you, a mere mortal, kill a Purple Mansion cultivator?"

"Haven't you heard the saying 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'?"

Feng Qiguang scoffed: "You?"

Yu Luoning nodded, her expression serious: "It's me."

Whether it was her serious expression or the striking appearance of her dark, chubby face, Feng Qiguang was stunned for half a second.

The array patterns suddenly tightened, causing the two to experience excruciating pain.

Feng Qiguang gritted his teeth and squeezed out, "...I only ask to live. If you dare to take this opportunity to humiliate me, I'll kill you beforehand."

Yu Luoning immediately nodded: "Deal."

The Cloud Cave Master watched as the two figures were forcibly entangled together by the formation, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "That's more like it."

The moment the connection was established, a ruthless glint flashed in Yu Luoning's eyes.

Open the encyclopedia.

"The Phoenix Family's Secret Technique: The Art of Transcending Space"

"Copy successful."

In an instant, a sense of spatial folding flooded into his mind, and the advanced technique of the Transcendental Technique clearly appeared in Yu Luoning's mind.

Intermediate-level aerial flight technique, mastered!

Advanced aerial flight technique, mastered!

Very good!

Yu Luoning was overjoyed.

next moment,

Suddenly, a loud rumble sounded outside the cave, the mountain trembled, and rocks rained down.

The Cloud Cave Master pinched his fingertips to stabilize the cave, but his brows furrowed slightly.

A steady voice came from outside the cave entrance:

"I am Feng Xichen of the Feng family, and I have come to see the Master of Yunxiao Cave."

Yu Luoning's pupils suddenly contracted.

It seems the Feng family has sent people.

Beneath the stone platform, Feng Qiguang's face was filled with humiliation. Only when he heard the voice outside the cave did a glimmer of hope suddenly appear in his eyes.

"Ancestor! Ancestor, I'm here!"

Yu Luoning's heart sank. She hurriedly put on her clothes, but poor Feng Qiguang was still naked.

Regardless of whether the two outside the cave actually fight, once Feng Qiguang recovers his spiritual power, he will definitely tear her to pieces.

What does "a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness" mean?

In his eyes, her background was a stain on her life.

After all, the toad ate the swan's meat! No, it was the swan that was forced to swallow the fly.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

Yu Luoning formed a hand seal, creating a rift in the air.

Her mind was in a whirl, and she even forgot the pain.

Before she could think any further, the wind and thunder shook the cave entrance, and a figure with an ethereal and otherworldly air stepped into the cave.

Feng Xichen has arrived.

The Cloud Cave Master narrowed his eyes, their spiritual pressures silently clashing.

As fellow cultivators of the Purple Mansion realm, neither would easily start a war unless they completely broke off relations to the point of no return.

Because once they take action, it will be a catastrophe, with the surrounding area within a hundred miles collapsing.

"Considering we are both cultivators of the Purple Mansion realm, I didn't kill your juniors." The Cloud Cave Master flicked his sleeve.

Feng Xichen stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Thank you for showing mercy, Master Yunxiao. My junior has been spoiled since childhood and spoke rudely, offending you, senior. It is truly my fault for failing to properly guide him."

The Cloud Cave Master snorted coldly.

Feng Qiguang's chest heaved, his face filled with humiliation. Finally, he couldn't help but hiss, "Ancestor! This old woman... she humiliated me with an ugly woman! Humiliated me!"

"Shut up," Feng Xichen said coldly.

But then he saw that the younger man was completely naked, and he immediately understood what was going on.

His expression changed drastically, and with a wave of his hand, clothes appeared out of thin air, covering the man.

Feng Qiguang froze, utterly humiliated.

Among the younger generation, the patriarch valued him the most, and it was truly embarrassing for him to be seen in such an awkward state by the patriarch.

Feng Xichen said with exasperation, "The fact that the Cloud Cave Master is willing to spare your life is already an extraordinary act of mercy. After you return, you will immediately go into seclusion to reflect on your actions. Without permission, you are not allowed to step out of the Feng family for the next ten years."

Feng Qiguang gritted his teeth and lowered his head: "...Yes."

The matter seemed to have been resolved.

But the moment Feng Xichen raised his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The spatial ripples remaining in the air of the cave have not yet completely dissipated.

That is?

His Feng family's ultimate technique, the art of crossing the void!?

Feng Xichen's voice suddenly turned cold: "Just now... did someone use a teleportation technique here?"

The Cloud Cave Master's expression shifted slightly. "Ancestor Feng, what makes you say that? There is no trace of your Feng family in my cave."

Feng Qiguang suddenly looked up, his voice trembling: "Ancestor! It's that ugly woman... For some reason, she knows our Feng family's unique skill!"

"..."

Feng Xichen's expression changed.

The art of crossing the sky is the foundation of the Feng family's existence.

This must never be leaked!

He stopped being polite, raised his hand, and grabbed Feng Qiguang directly.

"Walk."

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky!

Inside the cave, the Cloud Cave Master watched the disappearing light with great interest.

The ugly boy originally thought she was just an ordinary person, but he never expected to give her such a big surprise.

Her fingertips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to chase after it, but she ultimately held them back.

Since we are both in the Purple Mansion realm, the cost of a complete falling out would be too high.

the other side,

Feng Xichen moved with lightning speed, spreading his divine sense to trace the lingering traces of the Sky-Crossing Technique.

A hundred miles away, he landed, his face grim as he gazed at the barely perceptible lingering echo of the sky being torn apart.

Feng Qiguang was secretly surprised. With the strength of the ancestor, how could he not catch up with that fat, dark-skinned woman?

"Ancestor! Can the Transcendental Technique travel over a hundred miles in one go?"

"Of course not, so I suspect that person probably used more than just the teleportation technique."

Feng Xichen said nothing more and continued on his way.

Two hundred miles away.

Three hundred miles away.

Feng Xichen hovered in mid-air, his robes fluttering, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

"You're saying she's just a mortal?"

Feng Qiguang found it rather difficult to say: "She is indeed just a mortal. When she offended... I couldn't sense a single fluctuation of spiritual power in her body."

Feng Xichen frowned in thought, remaining silent.

Only a cultivator at the Purple Mansion Realm with abundant spiritual power can continuously tear through the void and travel through the air.

Such supernatural powers are simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

There must be something strange about that person.

Feng Xichen suddenly chuckled: "If that's the case, then let's see if your speed is faster or my magic is faster."

Feng Xichen slowly exhaled, and a golden light pierced through the void, disappearing along the lingering echoes of the rift.

Feng Qiguang: "Ancestor, what was that just now?"

Feng Xichen: "It's just a tracking technique. No matter where she escapes to, it's useless. This secret technique must not be leaked; we must find out the truth."

He raised his hand and flicked it, and the two of them vanished in a flash of light.
