All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Feng Ning looked at it with amusement, "You think I'm weak? Then why didn't you choose Ye Yuan back then? He's much stronger than me."

Suzaku immediately lowered his head guiltily.

Of course it can't choose Ye Yuan! That man is simply a great demon, so powerful and with such a terrifying aura. If it chooses him, will it ever have a good life?

But it still forced itself to say, "I only did that because I pitied you!"

Feng Ning smiled and patted its head, stopping their bickering.

"I'm going to cultivate."

The spiritual energy inside the space was many times richer than outside, so she preferred to cultivate inside.

Moreover, after this battle, she is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

She had already shown signs of breaking through in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, but it was too dangerous at the time, and she didn't know when someone would attack her, so she suppressed the opportunity to break through.

Now is the perfect time to make a breakthrough.

She had only been sitting for less than an hour when she suddenly felt much lighter.

She felt extremely comfortable, as if she had been freed from years of confinement, feeling incredibly light and clear.

She opened her eyes, feeling refreshed. "Is this what it feels like to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Kongkong noticed her change immediately and skipped over to her.

"Master! You've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Feng Ning patted his little head. "Yes."

"Would you like to learn some cultivation techniques, Master? There are many techniques on the bookshelf; would you like to choose one?"

Feng Ning asked in confusion, "Are there cultivation techniques on the bookshelf?"

Kongkong knew she hadn't seen it, so she quickly grabbed her hand and rushed into the room.

"Yes, yes, there are many cultivation techniques on the bookshelf. You can learn whatever you want."

Feng Ning followed him into the study.

In the study, one wall is filled with bookshelves, which are packed full of all kinds of books.

She just picked up a book casually, saw that it was about the history of the cultivation world, and then didn't pay any attention to it.

Upon entering again, I saw numerous books neatly arranged on the bookshelves, categorized by subject.

Besides cultivation techniques, there are also alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, formations, beast taming, and so on.

She was dazzled by what she saw.

She turned to look at Kongkong and asked, "Have you read all the books in here?"

Kongkong shook his head. "Some of them I can understand, and some I can't."

Feng Ning nodded and casually picked up a book on weapon crafting.

After reading for a while, I switched to another book and continued reading.

She didn't know what she wanted to learn, so she figured she might as well get a general understanding of all the categories first, and then decide what to learn later.

She read through all the introductory books in all categories, and finally focused on beast taming and formations.

Taming beasts can enhance one's combat power, and formations can assist in battle. Moreover, she discovered that some formations even have healing effects, which was an unexpected bonus.

It can both attack and defend, it's perfect!

Besides these, she also gained a general understanding of the situation in this world.

For example, cultivation techniques and magical artifacts, the stages of cultivation, as well as talent and spiritual veins.

She also learned that more spiritual veins are not necessarily better.

People like her with three spiritual veins will find cultivation much more difficult than others.

Others only need to cultivate one spiritual vein to its limit to make progress, but if she wants to make progress, she must bring out the full potential of all three spiritual veins.

If you only cultivate one spiritual vein, you can certainly make progress and break through, but after reaching a certain level, the other two spiritual veins will hold you back and cause your cultivation to stagnate.

Therefore, the best way is to cultivate all three at the same time. In this way, although her cultivation speed will be much slower than others, her strength will be much stronger than others at the same level.

You could say that every loss has its gain.

Therefore, she not only needs to cultivate the ice-type technique Frost Art, but also the wind-type technique Illusion Art. What she needs to do now is to choose a dark-type technique and cultivate them together.

After searching for a while, she finally determined the cultivation method she needed to practice—the Netherworld Ghost Manual.

This cultivation technique has no levels, but it is very suitable for cultivating dark-type talents.

After finding it, she left the study with what she needed.

The secret realm trial will take place in a month, which is to allow families from farther away to arrive in time.

The secret realm also opened in Hunyuan City. She has one month to continue cultivating and improve her cultivation level.

The speed inside the space is ten times that outside, so she has ten months left.

She went out to inform Grandpa Hai that she would be in seclusion for a period of time and asked everyone not to disturb her.

He then immediately returned to his spatial dimension and began cultivating.

She has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and her strength has increased, but she needs cultivation techniques in battle and cannot rely solely on using spiritual power to bombard opponents.

She had mastered the Frost Technique to level one and the Illusion Technique to level two. She hadn't even started cultivating her Dark Talent yet, so she began cultivating the Netherworld Ghost Manual first.

To her great surprise, the cultivation speed of the Netherworld Ghost Manual was much faster than the other two cultivation techniques.

It's as if it was born for her, and it fits her perfectly.

Once she started cultivating, she couldn't stop. By the time she finally stopped, the Netherworld Ghost Manual had already broken through to the fourth level.

More than five months have passed inside the space, while only half a month has passed in the outside world.

This made her extremely happy.

She circulated the dark spiritual energy within her body according to the techniques of the Netherworld Ghost Manual.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the spot.

A short while later, she appeared under the tree.

"Bravo!"

Kongkong was already used to it. "Master, your Netherworld Ghost Manual is getting more and more powerful. Now you can even blend into the shadows of the trees."

"I didn't expect this Netherworld Ghost Manual to be so powerful. It can both conceal and attack, making it an essential tool for assassination."

Having reached the pinnacle of her cultivation of the Netherworld Ghost Manual, she then began to cultivate other techniques.

More than five months passed in the space, and when she came out again, her strength had improved rapidly.

She has now reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, cultivated the Netherworld Ghost Manual to the fourth level, the Frost Technique to the second level, and the Illusion Technique to the third level.

Beast taming... supposedly requires testing the affinity with the spirit beast, which she hasn't tested yet and doesn't know the level of affinity.

Moreover, there were no other spirit beasts in the space besides the Vermilion Bird, so she had nowhere to experiment and gave up.

However, she has learned most of the techniques required for beast taming, so she can try them out after she goes out.

She also practiced array formations, which are more difficult to learn than cultivation techniques. She had only scratched the surface of it.

At most, we can only set up some simple formations.
