Xia Feng glanced at them and then discreetly carved two intertwined talisman arrays on the ground.

These arrays would trigger an alarm if there was danger in the vicinity. The two arrays were nested, ensuring that if there was any danger around, a subtle stimulus would awaken Xia Feng, who sat in the middle of the arrays.

This way, even if he was inside the Dream Realm Pearl, he would be able to detect external threats and promptly exit the Dream Realm Pearl.

This method was an idea Xia Feng came up with after seeing Qin Fei and Chang Lu layering so many protective talisman arrays on themselves.

Xia Feng himself had cultivated the Great Dao of Celestial Talisman and was already somewhat familiar with talisman arrays, so drawing an alarm talisman array was an easy task.

Qi Wan’Er looked at the talisman array with curiosity, and when she couldn’t make heads or tails of it, she simply sat down beside Xia Feng, crossing her legs and preparing to enter the Dream Realm Pearl at any time.

A day outside the Dream Realm Pearl is equivalent to a hundred thousand years inside.

This hundred thousand years was enough for Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er to fully comprehend the inner workings of the Celestial Sound Elf.

Even though Xia Feng had anticipated the complexity of the Celestial Sound Elf, he never imagined it would take an entire hundred thousand years.

Considering that both he and Qi Wan’Er possessed strong talent in the Great Dao of Celestial Sound, it was clear just how intricate the composition of the Celestial Sound Elf was.

He glanced at the now thoroughly understood Celestial Sound Elf in his palm and handed it to Qi Wan’Er. "Even though we’ve thoroughly comprehended it, the Celestial Sound Elf should still be able to be integrated into an instrument to slightly enhance its strength."

Qi Wan’Er shook her head. "The instruments in my hands are just ordinary Divine Artifacts. Instead, integrating it into your God-Burying Bell might yield more substantial enhancements."

Xia Feng’s expression held a hint of indulgence. "No need to concern yourself with me. During the comprehension of the Celestial Sound Elf, I was inspired and realized a secret technique."

Qi Wan’Er’s eyes gleamed, and Xia Feng didn’t keep her in suspense. "It’s a secret technique that enhances the power of sonic attacks, similar in effect to integrating the Celestial Sound Elf into an instrument to increase its power."

Qi Wan’Er’s eyes sparkled even more. "Husband, you’re truly amazing. Since we have this secret technique, there’s no need to integrate the Celestial Sound Elf. You can just teach me the secret technique when you have time."

Xia Feng pondered for a moment, his expression somewhat hesitant. "This secret technique might be a bit difficult. I developed it based on the Nine Sounds of God Burial, so it might be hard for you to master in a short period."

"It might be more convenient and efficient to integrate the Celestial Sound Elf into an instrument directly."

Qi Wan’Er hesitated too, but in the end, she shook her head and declined Xia Feng’s suggestion. "Let’s forget about it. I have so many instruments, and none of them are my life-bound instruments. Integrating it into any of them wouldn’t be as good as mastering the secret technique and controlling it myself."

"Besides, we’ve just entered the Secret Realm. There might be more powerful Secret Treasures ahead."

"What if something like the Celestial Sound Queen appears after I’ve integrated the Celestial Sound Elf?"

Xia Feng paused, admitting that Qi Wan’Er had made a reasonable point, and didn’t insist on the matter. Instead, he turned and prepared to leave the Dream Realm Pearl with her.

The Celestial Sound Elf, seeing them about to leave, immediately began chirping and singing again.

Xia Feng paused, his expression filled with curiosity. "Are you saying there’s a map inside this mountain peak you’re residing in?"

After comprehending for a hundred thousand years in the Dream Realm Pearl, Xia Feng was already able to understand the meanings within the scattered songs of the Celestial Sound Elf.

Watching the Celestial Sound Elf singing excitedly, Xia Feng reached out and grabbed it. "If you say there’s a map, then find it and give it to me."

"Don’t even think about running away or anything else; you’ve been in the Dream Realm Pearl long enough to know my methods."

The Celestial Sound Elf kept nodding, humming along as it followed Xia Feng out of the Dream Realm Pearl.

The surrounding followers watched as Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er awakened from their state of comprehension, and curiously approached to inquire, "Master, to what extent have you comprehended it?"

Xia Feng didn’t directly state that he had finished comprehending it; he only mentioned that he and Qi Wan’Er had preliminarily mastered the Celestial Sound Elf.

Even so, the surrounding followers looked at them as if they were witnessing a deity.

"Oh my god, the Celestial Sound Elf is the hardest to comprehend, yet Master and the Divine Maiden managed to preliminarily master it in just one day."

"Truly worthy of Master."

These words left Xia Feng a little embarrassed, and these people kept flattering him until the humming of the Celestial Sound Elf interrupted their praises.

Xia Feng paused for a moment before proceeding towards the mountain top. Qi Wan’Er, concerned, wanted to follow, but Xia Feng refused.

"It’s alright; it’s just a map. There’s nothing else up there aside from that. You can wait for me down here."

Qi Wan’Er’s gaze carried a hint of concern, but she still obediently halted her steps, watching as Xia Feng, holding the Celestial Sound Elf, continued upwards. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The closer he got to the mountain’s summit, the stronger the suppression of the Great Dao Rules became. By the time he reached the end, even Xia Feng felt a heaviness pressing upon him.

The Celestial Sound Elf timely resumed its humming, and the surrounding Great Dao Rules seemed to be guided, starting to fluctuate.

Finally, as the Celestial Sound Elf finished its song, a scene resembling a Star Map unfolded in front of Xia Feng.

The Celestial Sound Elf’s voice carried a touch of urgency, and Xia Feng hesitated momentarily before expanding his consciousness to absorb the entire Star Map into his mind.

Upon his Divine Soul making contact with the Star Map, there was a brief moment of dizziness, but Xia Feng quickly adjusted.

Immediately afterwards, the Great Dao Rules directly merged into his consciousness, enhancing his Divine Soul by a few degrees.

Xia Feng was taken aback. Just within this brief moment of merging, he gained considerable insights into the Great Dao of Celestial Sound, even more than the benefits he received during his hundred-thousand-year comprehension of the Celestial Sound Elf in the Dream Realm Pearl.

He scratched his head; had he known there was no danger up there, he would have invited Qi Wan’Er to join him.

He would rather have his wives alongside him on his journey forward than gain so much for himself alone.

Upon descending from the mountain, the followers looked at Xia Feng with eager anticipation. "Master, what was on the mountain top?"

Xia Feng waved his hand. "There was a map of the Secret Realm; I don’t know if it’s accurate, but if it is, then our path forward can be determined."

Lu Ziqian came over, filled with curiosity. "Since Master has obtained the map, let’s continue our exploration to verify its authenticity."
