The followers initially gazed at Xia Feng with uncertainty, but now their expressions had turned to one of fervent reverence.

They dared not disturb Xia Feng’s enlightenment, consciously lowering their voices as they tidied up the corpses of the Low Tone Sect prodigies while exchanging whispers among themselves.

"Did you see that? The lord effortlessly dealt with over a hundred prodigies of the Low Tone Sect. Dispatching these prodigies was even easier than killing chickens."

Lu Ziqian keenly overheard this remark, feeling a surge of pride for Xia Feng in his heart.

"Hmph, what are the prodigies of the Low Tone Sect? Back at the entrance, the lord subdued all the trial-takers in a single moment."

"And now, over a hundred prodigies are hardly worth mentioning at all."

"However, even now, I have not figured out how the lord managed to eliminate those people."

He sighed softly but quickly regained his spirit: "But it is only natural that I cannot understand the lord’s methods, after all, he is the lord."

Though his words were vague and enigmatic, all the surrounding followers nodded in agreement.

Judging by the expressions of admiration on their faces, it was clear they found nothing surprising about Xia Feng’s abilities.

Lu Ziqian glanced briefly toward Xia Feng, then quickly looked away as if afraid of disturbing Xia Feng’s understanding.

"I didn’t understand before why the Divine Maiden is so fond of someone from the Lower Realm, but after seeing the lord, I finally understand her choice."

"If it were up to me, I would also choose the lord."

The surrounding people laughed, "Lu Ziqian, you dare to covet the lord? Beware of the Divine Maiden coming after you!"

Lu Ziqian curled his lips, "I’m just speaking metaphorically. The Divine Maiden has the discerning eye to recognize the pearl, and the lord is wise and mighty; the two make a match crafted by heaven."

As he spoke, Xia Feng happened to finish comprehending the new insight from the God-Burying Bell and raised an eyebrow to look at Lu Ziqian.

"You truly have a way with words."

Originally just joking with the other followers, Lu Ziqian’s face flushed when Xia Feng praised him.

"The, the lord praised me!"

With a somewhat surprised expression, Xia Feng was approached by Qi Wan’Er, who took his arm, "Don’t mind them; they are just a bit excited."

As a result, the followers became even more excited seeing Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er so close.

Xia Feng watched for a while without detecting any ulterior motives in them, so he simply allowed them to be, while he and Qi Wan’Er gazed around the entire mountain peak.

Feeling the Great Dao of Music was particularly dense here at first, they assumed there would be a special Secret Treasure and thus hurried over.

Initially, having acquired the Celestial Sound Elf, Xia Feng thought there was nothing special here, but upon using the Nine Sounds of God Burial, he discovered this mountain peak seemed to hold more than just the Celestial Sound Elf.

After all, if it were only the Celestial Sound Elf, once he took it away, the Great Dao Rules here should have dispersed, not continued to have such a dense influence.

But now, although the Celestial Sound Energy had been absorbed by Qi Wan’Er, the Great Dao Rules not only did not disperse but became even denser under Xia Feng’s Nine Sounds of God Burial.

They seemed to coalesce into a thick mist, constantly swirling around Xia Feng, as if provoking his thoughts.

Xia Feng turned to Qi Wan’Er, "Do you feel there’s something strange about the Great Dao Rules here?"

Qi Wan’Er looked puzzled, seemingly not understanding what Xia Feng meant. She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the surrounding Great Dao Rules, not finding anything unusual, she shook her head.

"Husband, do you feel something is amiss?"

Xia Feng frowned slightly, his curiosity about the mountain peak deepening further.

After the followers finished dealing with the Low Tone Sect prodigies’ corpses, they handed over the organized Storage Rings to Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er.

Qi Wan’Er didn’t even glance at them, directly handing them over to Xia Feng, "Husband, you look first. It doesn’t matter if I lack these things."

Lu Ziqian intended to advise her, but seeing Qi Wan’Er’s indifferent manner, he ultimately did not speak.

Xia Feng roughly examined them. There were many items, but most were not especially useful. In the end, he only picked a few peculiar-looking tools, helping Qi Wan’Er take some usable items, and left the rest for Lu Ziqian.

Having glanced at them, Lu Ziqian felt a bit overwhelmed, "Lord, these, the items in here..."

Xia Feng waved his hand dismissively, "They are yours. See if there’s anything useful, and if something needs refining, do it here promptly."

He paused for a moment before adding, "Wan’Er also needs to comprehend the Celestial Sound Elf, so we’ll probably stay here for a day or two."

The followers exchanged glances, excitement gleaming in their eyes, "Thank you, lord. Thank you, lord."

Qi Wan’Er, holding the Celestial Sound Elf, approached, "Husband, join me in comprehending the Celestial Sound Elf."

Xia Feng intended to refuse, but when the followers heard Qi Wan’Er, they all chimed in supportively.

"Exactly, the lord has an extraordinary talent, and surely he can comprehend the Celestial Sound Elf together with the Lady Goddess; maybe his talent will allow him to understand it even faster."

"The Celestial Sound Elf was originally captured by the lord, so it’s only natural for the lord and the Lady Goddess to comprehend it together."

Xia Feng pondered for a moment, thinking that the appearance of the Celestial Sound Elf in this place where the Great Dao Rules were chaotic must have some peculiar reason, so he did not refuse Qi Wan’Er’s invitation.

Seeing him about to find a random place to start his comprehension, Lu Ziqian hesitated and advised, "Lord, comprehending such a Secret Treasure will undoubtedly take a considerable amount of time." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Why don’t you and the Lady Goddess roughly grasp it, get a general understanding, then stop at an impression?"

"Once out of the Secret Realm, there will be plenty of time to continue comprehending the Celestial Sound Elf, rather than wasting time on it within the Secret Realm."

Lu Ziqian paused before adding, "After all, there will be many more Secret Treasures to encounter later; focusing too much on the Celestial Sound Elf might hinder your future gains."

Unaware that Xia Feng had the Dream Realm Pearl, they offered what they believed to be suitable advice based on their own calculations.

Xia Feng didn’t plan to refute their good intentions, but neither did he intend to follow their suggestions.

"Rest assured, I am only going to make a brief comprehension; no matter the extent of the insight, we’ll move on to the next place after two days."

Hearing Xia Feng’s words, Lu Ziqian knew he had his plans and did not persuade further, giving a respectful salute before turning to join the other followers in examining the spoils of war.
