Hearing what the War Dragon Remnant Soul said put Ye Tian's mind at ease. At least there was a solution. However, one detail left him in a difficult position—he had to use Feifei's blood to hide his Dragon Scales. He couldn't bear the thought of it.
"Senior, is using Feifei's blood the only way to hide them? Are there no other thods?" Ye Tian asked.
"There is another way. You could obtain the Fire Phoenix Robe, but do you have the ability to do that? You should focus on solving the problem at hand first! I know what you're worried about, but if she truly loves you, she will be willing to make a sacrifice for you. Cultivate well. The world outside is vast, and you have much to explore!" said the War Dragon Remnant Soul.
Ye Tian could only silently accept this reality. Although he longed for a Heaven-defying artifact like the Fire Phoenix Robe, it was simply impossible with his current strength.
Now that his Divine Dragon Battle Body had reached the Fourth Layer, the imnse pressure would cause the Dragon Scales to appear. If he left this place, the Dragon Scales would probably disappear. Ye Tian didn't want to attempt any more breakthroughs; he even gave up on the idea of trying the fifth secret chamber.
He decided to return to the third secret chamber to let the Dragon Scales vanish, and then master the thod for casting Gold Slash. Of course, there was also Water Slash. Although he wasn't familiar with Gold Slash yet, with it as a foundation, cultivating Water Slash would be much easier.
He opened the Stone Gate to the third secret chamber. Upon entering, Ye Tian found that the pressure on his body had indeed lessened significantly. In fact, he could barely feel it anymore. At the sa ti, the Dragon Scales on his body slowly receded until they vanished completely.
He understood this phenonon perfectly. The appearance of the Dragon Scales was involuntary, a self-preservation chanism of the Divine Dragon Battle Body. It was like a reflex, activating whenever his body was in danger—a passive skill, in essence.
Ye Tian sat on the ground, ntally rehearsing Gold Slash. After visualizing it three tis, he had gained a fair amount of insight. Casting Gold Slash, much like other Martial Skills, consud a great deal of Gold Elental Energy.
If he used up all the Gold Elent Ore Crystals he carried, it would be difficult to cast Gold Slash. He had to find a way to cast it without relying on them.
As for the powerful Ore Core, Ye Tian had no intention of absorbing it. It was an exceptionally rare treasure that might have a greater use in the future.
Without absorbing Energy from Ore Crystals or Gold Attribute Magic Crystals, the only alternative was to absorb the Gold Elent Particles from the air. The Gold Elent Particles in the atmosphere were practically endless, but they were also widely dispersed. Absorbing a large quantity in a short amount of ti was impossible.
Ye Tian was troubled by this problem, but he knew it was a promising path. If he could find a breakthrough, he wouldn't have to worry about absorbing other Elents in the future either.
Ye Tian knew that haste makes waste. He had already completely mastered the Gold Elent, so communicating or resonating with the Gold Elent Particles in the air was easy. Gathering them together for him to absorb, however, was extrely difficult.
The main problem was, as he'd realized, that the Gold Elent Particles were too dispersed. The secret chamber was quite large, but even if all the Gold Elent Particles within it were gathered, they would at most equal the Energy in a single Magic Crystal from a Tier Three Gold Attribute Demon Beast.
Furthermore, the process consud a massive amount of his Heart Power. Ye Tian began to wonder if he had oversimplified the problem. He felt the urge to consult the War Dragon Remnant Soul again.
In truth, Ye Tian was unaware that while the secret chamber was large, the amount of Gold Elent it contained was finite. If he were outside, he would be able to gather a much larger amount of Gold Elental Energy.
Once he resonated with the Gold Elent in the atmosphere, it would trigger a chain reaction, allowing him to connect with Gold Elent Particles over a vast area. When they gathered, the quantity would naturally be imnse. Such a feat was, of course, impossible within the confines of the secret chamber.
Ye Tian felt frustrated, and his practice ca to a halt. Training without a calm mind was pointless anyway. He even considered just leaving.
Ye Tian was a man of action. He imdiately found the button in the secret chamber and pressed it, signaling for Xiao Yaoyao to open the outermost Stone Gate and let him out.
After pressing the button, Ye Tian waited quietly inside the chamber. A mont later, he realized he should be waiting in the first chamber, so he quickly headed there.
However, by the ti he reached the first chamber, the Stone Gate was already open. A petite figure appeared before Ye Tian—it was, of course, Xiao Yaoyao.
"Ye Tian, are you all right? Why did you press the button all of a sudden? I thought sothing had happened to you!" Xiao Yaoyao said anxiously, her eyes carefully scanning him for any sign of injury.
"I'm fine. I've just been in here too long and wanted to get so fresh air. Don't worry!" Ye Tian said with a smile.
"Who else would I worry about if not you?" Xiao Yaoyao replied. She then walked to the entrance of the Stone Gate and placed a black stone in a slot. The Stone Gate quickly closed, leaving the two of them alone inside the secret chamber.
Ye Tian was bewildered by this. 'Now that we're both locked in this chamber, who's going to let us out? Don't tell Lin Ling is coming… If she saw Xiao Yaoyao and in here together, wouldn't she get the wrong idea?'
"Ye Tian, what are you thinking about? You seem uneasy. Is sothing on your mind? Or are you unhappy that I'm here?" Xiao Yaoyao asked.
"No, not at all. I was just wondering how we're going to get out now that the chamber door is closed," Ye Tian said, his gaze still fixed on the sealed Stone Gate.
"Heh, don't worry so much. Didn't you see place that black stone? It allows the Stone Gate to be opened from the inside. I just wanted to be alone with you for a little while. You don't mind, do you?" Xiao Yaoyao said.
As she spoke, Xiao Yaoyao couldn't help but blush. She was already stunningly beautiful, but in that mont, she seed even more so. As Ye Tian's gaze fell upon her face, he found himself captivated.
Ye Tian naturally understood what was on her mind. At that mont, an unprecedented impulse washed over him. He closed the distance between them in an instant and pulled her into his arms.
The mont he held her, Ye Tian's heart began to race.
Xiao Yaoyao hugged him back even tighter, her own heart pounding in her chest. She felt a deep sense of longing. 'To be alone with the man I love, to be held in his arms… what a blissful feeling!'
Ye Tian gazed at Xiao Yaoyao's exquisite face and, unable to restrain himself, pressed his lips to hers. And so, alone in the secret chamber, the two of them…
