After spending a few days with the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, Ye Feng left the Star Sect and returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Having obtained the [Eye of Destiny], Ye Feng wondered if he could locate the yet-to-be-born Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
At this time, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion should already be in the process of gestation—though its exact location remained unknown.
The Star Dou Great Forest was vast, spanning both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and was alarmingly close to the Spirit Hall—only about eight hundred miles away.
With a single Blink, Ye Feng appeared ten thousand meters above the Star Dou Great Forest, gazing downward.
His eyes gleamed, and a golden light flickered on his forehead.
In the next moment, a vertical golden eye slowly opened there.
This was Ye Feng's [Eye of Destiny].
The instant it opened, his vision was filled with a new scene.
Countless threads of fate intertwined, completely enveloping the entire Star Dou Great Forest—dense, endless, and overwhelming.
The forest teemed with life, each creature possessing its own fate, interwoven with the destinies of others.
Every living being bore countless threads of fate.
Tightly tangled together, they formed this chaotic tapestry.
However, Ye Feng did not filter out these weaker threads.
Because he had noticed a pattern…
Though the threads of fate were wildly entangled, they followed a general trend…
Each living being had one or several threads converging toward a single direction…
The fate threads of countless creatures all gathered toward the same point, ultimately forming a concealed funnel shape…
As if something was drawing upon their destinies.
And the endpoint of this funnel was none other than the Lake of Life!
"Damn it, I should've realized sooner!"
Ye Feng's mind suddenly cleared!
The gestation of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion required not only vast amounts of fortune from the Star Dou Great Forest but also an immense reserve of life energy!
Where else could possess stronger life energy than the Lake of Life?
Clearly, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was being nurtured beneath the Lake of Life!
Its location was likely even deeper within the lake.
Hidden so thoroughly and obscured by the forest's chaotic fate, no wonder even the Silver Dragon King couldn't pinpoint its exact whereabouts.
At this realization, Ye Feng felt an inexplicable excitement. Closing his Eye of Destiny, he immediately Blinked toward the Lake of Life.
...
...
However, Ye Feng didn't rush to dig through the lake in search of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Instead, he first visited the space where Gu Yuena resided.
After all, the Star Dou Great Forest was Gu Yuena's domain. Moreover, disturbing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would undoubtedly cause tremors throughout the forest—giving her advance notice was absolutely necessary.
Yet, the thought of Gu Yuena still gave Ye Feng a headache.
He reflected for a moment.
Since his last departure, he had been relatively restrained.
Most of his time had been spent with Bi Ji and Zi Ji…
Especially Zi Ji—to aid her evolution, Ye Feng had lost count of how many times he'd been drained.
And now, upon his return, he would have to repay every single one of those times.
"Forget it, forget it. Finishing it early will make things easier later..." Ye Feng sighed, then with a flash, he directly entered Gu Yuena's private chamber.
The scene shifted, and Ye Feng's gaze quickly locked onto the stunning figure in the corner.
Gu Yuena was currently reclining on a lounge chair, her jade feet crossed and resting on a small table in front of her.
In her hands was a novel she had procured from who-knows-where, reading with great interest, occasionally picking up a grape from the fruit plate beside her, parting her red lips to pop it into her mouth.
Today, Gu Yuena was only wearing a thin, semi-transparent lavender dress. Through the gauzy fabric, the scenery beneath was clearly visible...
"She's not wearing anything underneath??"
Ye Feng subconsciously swallowed hard.
"Oh? You actually remember to come back?"
Gu Yuena slightly raised her eyes to glance at Ye Feng, seemingly unbothered by her exposure.
Or perhaps, this was entirely intentional.
"Ahem, of course! No matter how busy I am, I'd never forget about Sister~" Ye Feng chuckled, then flashed to Gu Yuena's side, throwing himself into her embrace and immediately digging in.
Even through the thin fabric, the sensation was as delightful as ever.
Of course, aside from being genuinely "hungry," he also wanted to get closer to Gu Yuena, hoping she'd be a little gentler when she drained him later...
"Hmph, the accumulated count this time is less than last time."
Gu Yuena gently cradled Ye Feng's head while casually checking the tally of "times" recorded on the Dragon Scale, her mood noticeably brighter.
At least it showed that Ye Feng had been somewhat restrained recently and hadn't gone too far.
"Hehe~"
Ye Feng grinned and buried himself in his feast.
"However..."
Gu Yuena suddenly shifted her tone, her voice carrying a faint chill. "You've picked up the scent of two more girls on you. You really can't stay honest, can you? It hasn't even been that long..."
"Ahem, that's Ice Empress and Snow Empress, I—"
Ye Feng coughed awkwardly, quickly trying to explain.
"What? You managed to lure both of them to the Star Sect, and they've both undergone shape-shifting?"
Now it was Gu Yuena's turn to be surprised.
Ice Empress and Snow Empress were the two most powerful beings in the Land of Extreme North. How had Ye Feng, in such a short time, quietly tricked both of them into joining his ranks?
"It's not tricking! I was helping them. They wouldn't have survived their next tribulation anyway. Shape-shifting and joining the Star Sect was their best option~"
Ye Feng spoke with an air of righteousness.
"Hmph, nice words. Don't think I don't know what's really on your mind." Gu Yuena snorted lightly, clearly not buying his excuses—in fact, she saw right through his little scheme.
Wasn't it just about expanding his "harem"? As if she didn't know.
"Haha... let's not talk about that."
Ye Feng laughed awkwardly, swiftly changing the subject. "Sister, remember what I asked you last time about the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Hmm, I did sense that the Star Dou Great Forest seems to be nurturing something. But even I couldn't pinpoint 'its' location, let alone you."
Gu Yuena shook her head lightly.
"No, I've already found it. 'It' is beneath the Lake of Life—just a bit deep."
Ye Feng spoke slowly.
The opponent's concealment methods were excellent, hidden extremely deep. Moreover, since they weren't in a special space, Ye Feng hadn't detected anything when he previously used his [Void Walker] talent.
But now, he possessed the Eye of Destiny.
With a single glance, he could see all the fortune converging beneath the Lake of Life.
That place was buried approximately three thousand meters deep.
Beneath layers of thick rock and soil, shielded by the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest, it happened to be perfectly concealed from the Silver Dragon King's detection.
