Things became straightforward after that.
Dugu Feng and Feng Xiaotian worked together, continuously digging downward.
Ning Rongrong provided amplification support for both of them.
Dugu Feng didn't choose to dig straight down, as they had to account for the influence of the powerful winds.
The pit they created gradually turned into a cave as they went deeper.
It began to curve downward, resembling a tunnel.
The three of them moved quickly, descending hundreds of meters in a single day.
During the descent, Dugu Feng discreetly released the Overlord Venom.
In this rocky cave, the range of spiritual detection was severely hindered, limited to only about a hundred meters.
But this didn't stump Dugu Feng.
He had already planned ahead when he chose to dig deep.
He would use the Overlord Venom to scout.
If even the Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom was a spiritual toxin, the Overlord Venom's abilities encompassed all of its capabilities.
The glow of the Overlord Venom continuously searched the area within several miles of the underground cave.
Wind Attribute Soul Power also left traces.
This guided Dugu Feng's digging direction.
He dug toward areas with denser Wind Attribute Soul Power.
As time passed, they could clearly feel that the surrounding Wind Attribute Soul Power was becoming more concentrated.
The energy within the Soul Power was exceptionally pure.
Even though Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong weren't wind-attribute, they could still absorb the pure energy for cultivation.
Soon, they descended another hundred meters, and Dugu Feng suddenly heard a piercing sound of wind.
At first, the sound was faint, but it quickly grew intense.
The walls of the cave the three had carved also turned cyan.
"Brother Feng, our opportunity is about to appear!"
Ning Rongrong grew excited.
Dugu Feng nodded, not daring to let his guard down.
"Feng Xiaotian, you dig!"
Dugu Feng instructed Feng Xiaotian to dig toward the source of the wind sound.
He grew increasingly certain that this was the Wind God's inheritance site.
If that were the case, it would pose the least threat to Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth and unleashed another Tornado Wind Blade.
The sharp cutting force struck the cave wall.
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed.
Then, a terrifying suction force pulled at them.
All three were instantly sucked into the opened passage.
Dugu Feng barely had time to wrap his arms around Ning Rongrong in that split second.
Thud!
Dugu Feng felt himself collide with a hard, glowing barrier.
After a dizzying spin through the air, he and Ning Rongrong finally stabilized.
Dugu Feng opened his eyes to a sea of cyan—a cyan space.
At the center of this sea was an emerald-green barrier.
That was what they had crashed into earlier.
Feng Xiaotian was already inside the barrier, completely unaffected by it.
Dugu Feng thought, "Just as I expected."
"Brother Feng, what is this?" Ning Rongrong steadied the fluctuating Soul Power within her and quickly turned her gaze to the emerald-green barrier.
"Do you remember the inheritance I obtained in Slaughter City? This is also an inheritance site.
But it selects Soul Masters with the wind attribute.
Feng Xiaotian is about to receive his opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately protested, "Can't we inherit this at all?"
"If we could, we wouldn't have been repelled!"
Dugu Feng replied.
He wasn't disappointed, as he had already prepared himself mentally—this was the Wind God's inheritance.
Through the light barrier, they saw Feng Xiaotian wave at them before continuing inward.
This rare opportunity was something Feng Xiaotian certainly wouldn't let slip by.
Dugu Feng turned his gaze beyond the light barrier.
Tidal waves of energy periodically surged from the barrier—this was the pure Wind Attribute Soul Power they had sensed from outside.
It was under the nourishment of this Soul Power that those Wolf Bandit Leaders had cultivated such resilient bodies and astonishing talents.
It seemed the Wind God shared similarities with the Sea God—both were generous deities.
In the outside world, any Wind Attribute Soul Master cultivating in Hurricane Canyon could receive the Wind God's grace, even without having activated their God Test.
"This place is perfect for our cultivation. As long as we can endure these wind attribute energy tides, we can significantly enhance our physical strength, and our Soul Power will advance rapidly!"
Since the Wind God was so generous, they ought to take advantage of it.
Moreover, Dugu Feng had more than just cultivation in mind.
His Core Pearl energy had already reached ninety-eight percent.
With some rapid cultivation here, it would soon reach one hundred percent.
"I can feel it too! Cultivating here will definitely yield thousand-mile progress in a single day!"
Ning Rongrong was also excited.
Her Soul Power had already been advancing quickly, but who wouldn't want to improve even faster?
At this rate, when I return, I'll surely astonish Father, Sword Grandfather, and Bone Grandfather, Ning Rongrong thought.
Dugu Feng summoned the Emerald Dragon Snakes.
He had the two Emerald Dragon Snakes carry him and Ning Rongrong as they gradually approached the light barrier.
The wind attribute energy emanating from within the barrier came at timed intervals.
Just like ocean tides.
Dugu Feng sat cross-legged on the back of his Emerald Dragon Snake.
The Core Pearl within him spun continuously.
Not far away, Ning Rongrong also had a Core Pearl inside her, now rotating just as rapidly.
Suddenly, the light barrier before them brightened.
Terrifying energy surged forth like boiling water, rushing straight toward them.
Along with the Emerald Dragon Snakes, Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong were directly forced backward by the impact.
The force was so intense that Dugu Feng felt his entire body being baptized.
The energy also entered his body, instantly becoming gentle and full of vitality.
Truly the purest Soul Power energy.
The Core Pearl eagerly amplified the absorption without hesitation.
Besides Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong, the Emerald Dragon Snakes absorbed even more.
They had no resistance whatsoever to such refined energy.
They were snakes with dreams.
Becoming 100,000-Year Soul Beasts was their aspiration.
Now, their opportunity had arrived.
This chance was as significant as the one in Slaughter City that had allowed them to evolve.
The two Emerald Dragon Snakes actually began chasing these tidal energies, flying through the vast space.
One wave passed, and half an hour later, another surge arose.
With Dugu Feng's physical resilience, enduring such impacts was naturally effortless.
But this was Ning Rongrong's first time undergoing such training.
She immediately felt sore and numb all over, an indescribable agony.
Yet, her mental fortitude was extraordinary, and she gritted her teeth to persevere.
Simultaneously, her Core Pearl released energy to help her resist.
It created a cycle within her body—absorbing the incoming pure energy and releasing warm currents.
This greatly enhanced her endurance.
Only under these conditions could Ning Rongrong barely hold on.
Dugu Feng did not offer words of comfort.
He had always known that Ning Rongrong was also strong-willed, and at this moment, she could only rely on her own perseverance.
Moreover, the accumulated medicinal power of the Immortal Herb remained within Ning Rongrong's body, ensuring there would be no life-threatening danger.
For a time, within the entire cyan space, the two humans and two snakes all devoted themselves to earnest cultivation.
