Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven.

Lu Chengfeng sat cross-legged on Yellow Dragon Peak, suddenly opening his eyes, with golden flames blossoming in his pupils, burning fiercely.

On the five great mountains, five-colored sword light of blue, yellow, black, white, and red suddenly soared into the sky, interweaving into a five-colored cloud in the heavens.

Buzz!

The entire cave heaven seemed to tremble slightly.

"What's happening?"

Lu Chengfeng's face showed a slight grimace. He could sense a mysterious power had seemingly touched Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven.

However, that power came without a trace and left behind not even a whisper; if it hadn't touched Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven, he might not have realized it at all.

"Who is it? Is it Yi Hongchen? Or Yi Mingshu? Or perhaps did that old bald-head use some divine technique to search for Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven?"

Lu Chengfeng only felt a growing sense of crisis, his whole body creeping, as if those mighty figures had grasped his tail.

"If truly discovered, especially by Yi Hongchen or Yi Mingshu, staying in the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect would mean a dead end for me."

Lu Chengfeng felt his heart pounding frenetically, an uncontrollable sense of danger spreading, almost driving him to flee for his life impulsively.

"No, no, I must calm down."

He took a deep breath, "If Yi Hongchen had indeed discovered Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven, I'd probably be dead by now. This woman would likely have descended directly here to strip my skin and soul, taking away Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven."

"Then could it be Yi Mingshu? Is he suspicious of me and thus secretly probing?"

"If it was him using the Map of Mountains and Rivers just now, with the void profound mysteries contained within that magical treasure, indeed, he could have approached unnoticed."

Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Chengfeng's mind, "If it was Yi Mingshu, he may not have discovered my disguise but merely harbors suspicions."

"Yet the situation grows increasingly unfavorable for me. I impersonated 'Yi Wushuang' to infiltrate the Celestial Law Sect quickly to increase my power while figuring out a way to rescue other sect elders and disciples."

"However... time is running out, and the situation keeps worsening..."

"What should I do?"

He slowly closed his eyes, golden flames burning at the center of his brow, calming himself down.

As he gradually descended into meditation, he increasingly sensed a crisis swirling around him, poised to erupt into a colossal catastrophe that could plunge him into grave danger.

"I can't afford to entertain wishful thinking; I must prepare for the worst-case scenario."

Lu Chengfeng sighed slightly, his heart heavy and oppressed, with little time left for him. He had employed all his wisdom and strength, striving to carve out a niche within the Celestial Law Sect.

But now...

"For now, I can't make any sudden moves. If Yi Mingshu truly suspects me, I must avoid any extraordinary behavior even more so."

"All actions must align with my assumed identity."

His expression suddenly shifted, "Yes, Yi Wushuang was always a decadent scion, utterly uninterested in cultivation, indulging in women day and night."

"Even if he decided to change and pursue martial arts, he couldn't possibly stay in his bedchamber for so long without touching a woman, practicing tirelessly day and night."

"Could Yi Mingshu be suspicious of me because of this?"

The more Lu Chengfeng contemplated, the more he felt this had been an oversight on his part. He had immersed himself in the cultivation of Celestial Law Sect's Taoist skills, forgetting he was supposed to be 'Yi Wushuang.'

"When dwelling amid enemy forces, any oversight can have fatal consequences."

"I was too careless!"

He felt a bit regretful, yet now it was too late for second thoughts.

"In the coming days, I'll hasten the refining of Chu Xiangtian's gift; by then, the turmoil on Yi Mingshu's side should temporarily cease."

"At that time, I will meet Yi Mingshu, hinting at luring Zhang Zhijing down the mountain for an ambush."

"For someone like Yi Wushuang, who is frivolous and lecherous, killing a man to seize his wife would seem quite usual, not to mention someone of Chu Zhihe's status."

"However, Chu Zhihe's sudden submission to me might also be another reason for Yi Mingshu's suspicions."

He quickly identified several flaws in his disguise and then gradually refined his strategy, "Once the gift is refined and the sect turmoil settles, I must immediately seek out Yi Mingshu."

"First, to test the waters, second, to set the stage to ambush Zhang Zhijing, and third, if the situation truly deteriorates, to retreat from the Celestial Law Sect immediately after descending the mountain... I can't risk my life."

It felt as if a mountain weighed on Lu Chengfeng's heart, with the threat to his life hanging over him, rendering it hard for the mind to find peace.

Fortunately, through years of cultivation, his spiritual will was now beyond ordinary limits, allowing him to quickly center himself, ridding all distractions, and focusing entirely on refining the gift.

...

Qi Lingxi, as a true inheritance of the Tao Vein, and ranked second, naturally had her own palace.

The palace she resided in was named Celestial Heart Palace.

At this moment, within the cultivation chamber of Celestial Heart Palace, this perpetually enigmatic true inheritance paced back and forth, her expression heavy with gravity.

"This matter undoubtedly involves the machinations and contest of immortals."

"Presently, the only immortals I know are the forefather of the Yi Family and Great Chu Ancestor Chu Xiangtian."

"Previously, I thought Chu Tiange was the reincarnation of the Great Chu Ancestor, but what if Yi Wushuang really is?"
