Ling Feng is a disciple of the Holy Emperor; this is something Yujizi knows very well. Therefore, from the very beginning, he never hoped Ling Feng would call him 'master' for a lifetime. What he wanted was merely for the inheritance of the Formation not to be cut off in his hands!

But now, hearing Ling Feng's words, Yujizi's excitement was beyond words. Yujizi, who was passionate about formations, had never accepted an apprentice, not until he was severely injured by a secret assault from a master in the Divine Realm, and only lamented on his deathbed about not having a successor!

Yet, heavens have mercy. In the final moments when his Remnant Soul could barely hold on, heaven finally sent him an excellent successor!

"Very well, since you are willing, I, Yujizi, will take the liberty to accept you as my disciple. Hahaha, never did I think that one day I would share a disciple with the Holy Emperor. My life is not in vain!"

Ling Feng respectfully knelt before Yujizi, heavily kowtowing three times.

When he raised his head again, he found that Yujizi had already disappeared, leaving only a sprinkle of stardust where he stood.

"Master, have a good journey!" Ling Feng murmured, his eyes slightly moist, his mood a bit heavy.

In just a little over three months, Ling Feng had learned a lot and realized many of his shortcomings. In his heart, he truly considered Yujizi as his elder. Although Yujizi put him through much suffering, Ling Feng knew it was all for his good!

"Master, I will not disappoint the expectations you have of me!" Ling Feng took a deep breath, concealing his sorrowful feelings within.

He gently touched the Hexagram on his wrist and softly said: "Activate!"

In an instant, Ling Feng appeared in the front hall. As he had already gained control of the cave's Nexus, Ling Feng could now operate the entire cave at will.

The three people in the front hall had not yet awakened, although Ling Feng spent nearly a hundred days inside the Bronze Gate, only a day had passed outside.

Ling Feng passed through the front hall and came to other parts of the cave, checking the Pill Room, Weapon Pavilion, and Material Repository. To his delight, the Material Repository of the cave was stocked with many precious materials for formations, which would be enough to support his advancement towards high-level formation methods.

Spending half a day, Ling Feng finally toured the entire cave. Indeed, a cave belonging to an Array Master of the Azure Sky Realm was quite extraordinary.

Moreover, Ling Feng also realized that the entire cave was covered with countless formations. Even if he encountered danger, as long as he hid within the Sky Spirit Stone, no master below the Azure Sky Realm could harm him!

This was equivalent to Ling Feng having one more life-saving card. In this world filled with crises, the more cards Ling Feng had, the safer he would feel.

"Damn it, where are we?" The Ghost King was the first to slowly open his eyes in the front hall, holding his head and frowning as he spoke.

"It hurts so much... You ask me, who should I ask!" As the Ghost King awoke, Shen Yu also got up, baring his teeth: "But I remember a white dog appeared in front of us, and then we just..."

The Ghost King and Shen Yu exchanged glances, a hint of horror in their eyes: "Could it be that the white dog is the guardian Divine Beast of this Secret Realm?"

"For us two masters of the Sea of Gods Realm to not stand a chance against it can only mean one thing: that white dog is definitely a Divine Beast of the Azure Sky Realm!" Shen Yu said bitterly: "It seems we've really been had this time!"

The Ghost King furrowed his brows: "Not necessarily, I think since it captured us but didn't kill us, it must have its own reasons. Maybe this is our opportunity!"

Ling Feng, through the Hexagram Nexus, already knew that the Ghost King and Shen Yu had awakened. But to be cautious, he didn't make an immediate appearance. Instead, he checked if the formations laid beneath the cave were functioning properly.

After confirming that there were no issues, Ling Feng stepped out: "Gentlemen... have you been well?"

Seeing Ling Feng, the Ghost King and Shen Yu had a moment of confusion in their eyes, then they half-kneeled on the ground: "We greet our master!"

Ling Feng closely observed them and found their expression extremely sincere; only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. The control technique of Senior Baize indeed worked wonders.

"Ahem, you need not be so formal!" Ling Feng coughed lightly and said: "I have some questions for you, and you must answer without reserve, understand?"

"What the master asks, we shall answer fully!" said the Ghost King earnestly.

"What are the strengths of the Military Residence, and if we want to control the entire Divine Cloud Continent, how confident are we now?" Ling Feng asked.

The Ghost King shook his head and said: "Master, controlling the Divine Cloud Continent is unrealistic. And since the Military Residence is directly governed by the Central Divine Court of the Divine Realm, the power of the Military Residence is extremely formidable. To control the Divine Cloud Continent, one must control the Military Residence, but with our strength, we can't control the Military Residence!"

"Master, what the Ghost King cannot accomplish, we from the Cultivators Alliance can help you with!" Shen Yu chuckled and said: "Our Cultivators Alliance has masters everywhere and is not under the control of the Central Divine Court. Plus, the Divine Cloud Continent is geographically isolated and is gradually becoming a Forsaken Land. As long as we utilize the Cultivators Alliance well, we can bypass the Military Residence and control the Divine Cloud Continent!"

"The Cultivators Alliance is just a laughable civilian organization!" the Ghost King said disdainfully: "In front of the Military Residence, it's not even worth mentioning!"

"Ridiculous! Do you really think our Cultivators Alliance would fear your Military Residence?" Shen Yu sneered: "If the Central Divine Court could send masters of the Azure Sky Realm, we naturally wouldn't dare be rampant. But in the Divine Cloud Continent, masters of the Azure Sky Realm cannot enter. Do you really think we, who are also of the Sea of Gods Realm, would fear your Military Residence?"

Ling Feng felt a headache coming on. It seemed that other than recognizing him as their master, nothing else had changed. But that's fine; it also reduced the chances of exposure.

"Stop arguing, all of you!" Ling Feng said sternly: "I now have some understanding. Ghost King, you be in the open; Shen Yu, you be in the shadows. You two must work together. I need a force that can control the Divine Cloud Continent. Do you understand?"

The Ghost King and Shen Yu exchanged a glance and then respectfully said: "Yes, master."

Ling Feng squinted his eyes: "However, you're right. The target of the Military Residence is too exposed, so our target is the Cultivators Alliance. Shen Yu, how to gradually take control of the Cultivators Alliance, that's your and the Ghost King's task. Understand?"

"Understood!" Shen Yu and the Ghost King said in unison.

Seeing the two masters of the Sea of Gods Realm being so respectful to him, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart. He also sensed a strong sense of crisis.

Indeed, having strength truly allows one to do whatever they wish.
