Qin Feng continued to refine pills while training his Red Alert legions.
As time passed, Wang Feng finally found relevant records in the ancient texts.
She explained to Qin Feng, "It is said that in ancient times, the Extreme Desert was not filled with many treasures or monsters, but was a paradise on earth. For some unknown reason, one day, all the people in this area disappeared, and each person's body turned into a treasure, and each person's soul became a monster. They transformed into various forms according to their desires in life. Those treasures were their former bodies, so they cherished them exceptionally, regarding them as their lives. As for why this separation of body and soul occurred, the ancient texts do not provide a clear record. However, it is rumored that only Immortals possessed such immense power, capable of causing all this. And not ordinary Immortals, not those who ascended after the Mahayana stage, but Immortals among Immortals. Their power had reached a level where they could create miracles and myths. It was the great ability of ancient Immortals that was displayed. Another theory suggests that the Extreme Desert itself was formed from the corpse of an ancient Immortal, but this cannot be verified. Now, everyone knows that the place holds many treasures and opportunities. Therefore, those whose cultivation has stalled have flocked there to seek breakthroughs, and various sects have dispatched their outstanding disciples to cultivate in that area and search for treasures."
Upon hearing Wang Feng's explanation, Qin Feng felt that this information lacked reliable sources and could not be verified, thus not worth believing. However, since it was recorded in ancient texts, it was likely not baseless. Qin Feng silently noted it down. Although he knew it wouldn't be of much help in his future actions, such information was still rare.
He asked Wang Feng, "Do you have any maps of the Extreme Desert? Where will I appear when I am teleported to that world? What preparations do I need to make?"
Hearing Qin Feng's question, Wang Feng replied, "I will find out as soon as possible. Not many disciples have safely emerged from the Extreme Desert, but there are quite a few. I will find them one by one and inquire about the situation within the Extreme Desert, striving to create a map for you."
After saying this, Wang Feng added, "I haven't seen you for a while, and only hearing your voice makes me feel very unaccustomed. My longing and dependence on you are growing more severe. When can I come to see you? Why don't you come to Qingxuan Sect? We can cultivate together, okay? I am willing to give a portion of my power, even lower my cultivation, to help you improve your strength. This way, when you reach the Extreme Desert, you will be more capable of protecting yourself. Even if you don't like me, it doesn't matter. I have many beautiful female disciples under my tutelage. Whoever you like, I will have her accompany you, and I guarantee your satisfaction. What do you say?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng scratched his head and said, "I'm not interested in dual cultivation, as I've already told you. However, I will remember what you've done for me."
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng said, "Alright then. As long as you are happy, that is my greatest happiness. I will investigate the situation of the Extreme Desert for you as soon as possible. If there is anything you need me to do, just say it, and I will do my best to help you. You are, after all, the one I love the most."
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded and did not reply further. He turned off the communication device and continued refining pills and training his Red Alert legions.
Thus, as time passed, with only a few days left until the one-month deadline, Qin Feng had already acquired 500 Red Alert soldiers with a combat power of 300.
Each of these 500 individuals was very powerful. However, in the eyes of the cultivators in this world, any one of them was weak. But Qin Feng knew that these 500 individuals united would be a terrifying force. He was confident that he could even contend with someone at the Immortal Venerable realm. These 500 individuals could act independently according to his will, form a powerful formation, or become fearless warriors. Each of them would execute his commands without hesitation because, in a certain sense, these individuals were also Qin Feng's extensions.
His consciousness could merge with these Red Alert soldiers. He could instantly transform from one person to 500, all acting according to his will.
This unified combat power would greatly enhance the strength of each individual.
Qin Feng was now somewhat anticipating the Extreme Desert. He didn't know what he would gain there, but he understood that from now on, his strength would grow rapidly. Because of these 500 Red Alert soldiers, he no longer feared any threat.
At this moment, Ye Shen also walked out of the house. She took a deep breath, looked at Qin Feng, and said with a smile, "Hahaha... I never imagined that one day my strength would surpass yours. During this period, I have cultivated using the coral treasure you gave me, and my strength has greatly improved. But it seems you haven't made much progress, hahaha... From now on, leave the charge and battle to me. My strength is much greater than yours."
Hearing Ye Shen's words, Qin Feng carefully sensed her. He felt a peculiar power emanating from Ye Shen, and her internal strength was something Qin Feng could not fathom. This indicated a higher cultivation realm than his own. Qin Feng frowned and asked, "Have you broken through the Golden Core stage and reached the Nascent Soul stage? But why is there no heavenly phenomenon? What is going on?"
Hearing this, Ye Shen said with full confidence, "That is because the heavenly phenomenon was consumed by this bracelet of mine. Therefore, not a trace of aura leaked out, and naturally, there was no heavenly phenomenon. However, my realm has indeed reached the Nascent Soul stage."
Hearing this, Qin Feng looked at the bracelet Ye Shen was wearing. That malevolent ghost bracelet was indeed sinister, but the fact that it could devour heavenly phenomena was something he had never heard of before. Thus, he asked doubtfully, "How do you know these things? According to the records in the Wordless Heavenly Book, heavenly phenomena are caused by the attraction of auras, and there is no record of such heavenly phenomena being consumed."
Ye Shen smiled and said, "That is because I have communicated thoroughly with the malevolent ghost within the bracelet. She told me that consuming heavenly phenomena can help her increase her power, and her increased power can better help me deal with enemies. This is simply killing two birds with one stone. This S-class treasure is truly miraculous, and the ghost living inside is also very pitiful. I feel happy to be able to help her a little. Look, doesn't the bracelet look even more beautiful now? Do you know! This S-class bracelet can actually be upgraded. As long as my realm continuously improves, this bracelet can even be upgraded to SS-class, or even SSS-class, becoming a unique and unparalleled treasure."
