After Gu Qianqian finished playing a complete piece, having practiced all the techniques of the Seven Absolute Strings,
Chen Feng’s mind finally recalled the prompt.
【Disciple’s mastery of Seven Absolute Strings has entered the beginner stage, Achievement Unlocked: Master’s Disciple】.
【Reward: Master’s Seven Absolute Strings realm elevated to Unity of Heaven and Man】.
Upon reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man in his understanding of the Seven Absolute Strings,
Chen Feng couldn’t help but marvel at the skill’s description.
The Seven Absolute Strings suppress all protective aura defenses.
Just based on this alone, Chen Feng was confident—
If he ever encountered Wei Guangming again,
he would definitely be able to defeat him.
At the same time, a new thought formed in his mind.
He glanced down at the shackles binding his hands and feet.
“Qianqian, step back a little.”
“Let me see if I can break these chains.”
Gu Qianqian was still immersed in the joy of being able to see again.
Upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, she immediately moved to the side near the stone door.
Chen Feng stretched out both hands, mimicking the motion of grabbing at empty air to his left, then slowly pulled to the right.
Seven strings, formed from his own qi and blood, appeared in midair.
Each string was vividly red, like threads of blood.
This was the Seven Absolute Strings, the manifestation of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.
A state of having no physical instrument.
In the next moment, a giant shadow, identical in appearance to Chen Feng, enveloped his body.
The sound of Buddhist chants instantly filled the entire stone chamber.
Gu Qianqian listened curiously to the strange chanting.
The colossal shadow’s huge fingers plucked the strings before it; as the strings vibrated, they unleashed streams of golden dragons.
In an instant, thousands of dragons surged wildly, roaring fiercely.
Under Chen Feng’s control, these golden dragons formed from sound waves and palm force crashed against the chains binding his feet.
Stone chips scattered, sparks flew.
Wave after wave of sound wave dragons relentlessly battered the iron chains on the ground.
Chen Feng attacked frantically, paying no mind to the depletion of his qi and blood.
The Buddha’s Palm technique fused with the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, plucking the Seven Absolute Strings to shoot out powerful sonic attacks.
With the fusion of these three Unity of Heaven and Man techniques, the chains finally began to give way.
After a shower of sparks, a gap appeared in the iron chain binding his left foot.
Chen Feng was overjoyed and didn’t pause his assault for a moment.
Before long, he was drenched in sweat from exhaustion.
But then, with a loud snap,
the iron chain broke.
“It’s finally broken... I’m exhausted.”
Chen Feng collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath.
It had to be said, relying on the Unity of Heaven and Man realm and the fusion of three techniques, his power had increased once again.
However, the strain on his body was equally greater.
Just from this short battle,
Chen Feng felt as if his qi and blood were nearly drained.
His subconscious craved someone to come and absorb some of his energy with the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.
But his escape was far from over; he still had to push forward.
Four chains bound him, only one broken, three more remained.
Hearing Chen Feng break one chain, Gu Qianqian eagerly exclaimed,
“That’s great! Hurry and break the other chains too.”
“While no one’s here, I can help you escape.”
Her words moved Chen Feng deeply.
Logically,
as an outsider, he should be the enemy of their Kunlun tribe.
If the roles were reversed, could he be as selfless as Gu Qianqian?
Chen Feng shook his head to dispel these thoughts.
Putting aside distractions,
he regained some strength and resumed his assault on the chains.
After an entire day’s effort, he finally broke all the iron chains.
Gu Qianqian said happily,
"Great! Master, you have to come with me quickly, or if someone comes back, you won’t be able to leave."
Chen Feng simply used a sonic wave to cut through the iron chains.
The shackles on his hands and feet, however, were still there.
Walking was a bit inconvenient now.
But there was no time to worry about that.
He had to escape at all costs.
He needed to get the false Dragon Vein’s information out.
To stop this pointless war from endlessly repeating itself.
Following Gu Qianqian, Chen Feng arrived outside what seemed to be a stone house.
Only then did he realize—it wasn’t a stone house at all.
It was a massive cave, carved out into numerous stone chambers.
Looking closely,
Chen Feng finally noticed that both the cave walls and the floor
were made of mutton-fat jade.
He had never paid attention before.
The floor of the chamber was too rough, and with such a vast space, he had never imagined it could be jade.
He had always assumed it was white granite or calcite or something similar.
Only when he stepped outside the stone house and saw the natural cave’s surface did he realize—
He was actually inside a huge block of mutton-fat jade.
Suddenly, a thought struck Chen Feng, and he asked the guide, Gu Qianqian,
“Could this be the legendary Jade Mountain?”
Though Gu Qianqian’s eyes were blind, she was clearly very familiar with the place.
As she led the way without pause, she replied,
“Yes, this is Jade Mountain.”
“Once you exit the cave, you’ll be at the Dragon Vein—the Jade Pool.”
Chen Feng was stunned.
He had always thought Jade Mountain was just the name of a mountain.
He never imagined it was literal—
A gigantic mountain made entirely of jade.
Following this young disciple, Chen Feng kept winding through the maze of caves.
He felt like he had been walking for over an hour.
Yet, he still hadn’t found the way out.
Only then did Chen Feng realize—
This was not just an ordinary cave.
It was a vast natural labyrinth.
After another hour of walking,
Chen Feng began to wonder if Gu Qianqian had gotten lost.
Finally, he saw a light ahead.
As soon as they stepped out of the cave,
Chen Feng was stunned by the scene before him.
Outside the cave was a valley.
He was standing hundreds of meters above on a cliff,
with a perfect vantage point overlooking the entire valley.
In the center of the valley
was a huge pond.
The shape of the pond was obviously special—
It was shaped like a Taiji Yin-Yang fish.
Though only half of it.
At the large end of the fish, there was a pitch-black spot.
From a distance, the entire pond emitted a faint white glow.
Many white cranes danced along the pond’s edge.
Without Gu Qianqian’s introduction,
Chen Feng immediately thought of one name—
The Jade Pool!
“Master, don’t be afraid. Just jump down from here,”
Gu Qianqian said.
“This is the fastest way to leave.”
Huh?
Chen Feng leaned his head over the cliff and looked down.
It made him dizzy and uneasy.
He wasn’t afraid of heights,
just a little wary.
He wanted to say,
“That’s a bit too fast for leaving.”
He was trying to leave Kunlun, not the mortal world.
Jumping from this height—
He’d probably be scared to death before even hitting the ground.
“Is there a slower way?”
Gu Qianqian nodded seriously.
“There is.”
“But the clan elders are all there.”
“They definitely won’t let you leave.”
“Master, are you afraid of heights?”
Uh—
Chen Feng felt awkward and said,
“Not exactly afraid.”
“Just feels a bit dangerous.”
Gu Qianqian covered her mouth and let out a mischievous laugh.
“Master, there’s no need to be afraid.”
“Below us is the Wind Cave of the Nine Orifices on Jade Mountain.”
“You won’t fall all the way to the ground.”
“I’ll hold onto you and jump together.”
Huh?
Chen Feng hadn’t yet figured out what the Nine Orifices of Jade Mountain or the Wind Cave were.
Before he could make sense of it, Gu Qianqian was already pulling him toward the edge of the towering cliff.
Instinctively, he resisted, his body instinctively shrinking backward.
Gu Qianqian comforted him gently:
“Master, don’t be afraid. You really won’t die from the fall.”
Chen Feng panicked and stammered,
“I’m not afraid. I really, truly am not.”
As they were pulled off the cliff,
Chen Feng’s left hand was firmly held by Gu Qianqian.
With his right hand, he clamped tightly over his own mouth.
Of course, he wasn’t just covering his mouth—he was trying to preserve his dignity as a teacher.
He felt brave.
His heart was pounding so hard he thought it might burst.
Not a single sound escaped his lips.
Though he gripped his mouth so tightly that he almost couldn’t breathe.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
