"They really are Space Crystals!"
After sensing them for a moment, Ye Yunfei finally confirmed it and spoke excitedly.
Thus, Ye Yunfei directly charged forward.
He saw that throughout this expanse of space, fist-sized Space Crystals were densely packed everywhere.
Their numbers were vast — a full tens of thousands!
Space Crystals were far too rare, far too precious!
They could only be found in the deep spatial void, and only beings proficient in spatial energy were capable of entering the spatial depths!
"If I completely absorb the energy and laws contained within these Space Crystals, my level of spatial energy will definitely see a tremendous boost!"
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, summoned two Space Crystals to his palms with a beckoning gesture, and then began to refine and absorb them.
Over in another part of the spatial crack, the Roc had found a location where the spatial energy was the most concentrated and settled down to cultivate.
This way, it was as if Ye Yunfei and the Roc were both simultaneously absorbing spatial energy, allowing for even faster improvement!
Ye Yunfei had once conducted in-depth research into spatial energy and Spatial Laws, so absorbing the spatial energy and laws contained within these crystals proceeded very smoothly.
As he refined and absorbed an increasing number of crystals, Ye Yunfei's level of spatial energy rapidly improved!
He didn't know how much time passed.
Finally, all the Space Crystals had been refined and absorbed by Ye Yunfei.
His spatial energy level had also achieved a qualitative leap!
"The speed at which I can traverse space now is at least ten times faster than before," Ye Yunfei said to himself.
At this moment, the Roc was still in a distant spot, continuously absorbing the spatial energy that existed within this spatial crack.
"Good. Now to attempt whether I can successfully cultivate the Spatial Blade!"
Ye Yunfei sat down cross-legged and muttered.
The Spatial Blade was a spatial secret technique Ye Yunfei had mastered in his previous life.
One needed a certain level of spatial energy and cultivation in Spatial Laws to be able to practice it.
Time flowed on ceaselessly.
Ye Yunfei was cultivating the Spatial Blade with wholehearted focus.
That Roc kept on refining and absorbing the spatial energy from this crack.
At a certain moment.
Ye Yunfei suddenly raised his palm and gently swung it forward.
A stream of refined spatial energy and profound Spatial Laws released from his palm.
Then, a pitch-black, hair-thin black thread appeared in the space ahead of his palm.
If a powerful expert proficient in spatial energy were present here and saw this black thread, they would surely turn pale with fright.
Because this black thread was, in fact, an extremely fine spatial rift!
"It just barely has the embryonic form.
However, this level cannot harm an enemy," Ye Yunfei glanced at the black thread and shook his head.
From then on, Ye Yunfei repeatedly practiced, constantly waving his palm, creating spatial rifts again and again.
Because that Roc was continuously refining and absorbing spatial energy, Ye Yunfei's spatial energy level kept rising.
Gradually, the size of the spatial rifts Ye Yunfei created slowly increased.
From hair-thin, to the size of a finger, until finally, it reached the size of three adult fingers!
Its length was only that of an adult's palm.
"Alright, that'll do for now."
Ye Yunfei gazed at a spatial rift before him that was rapidly advancing forward.
"I still need to practice the speed of condensing the Spatial Blade."
Ye Yunfei muttered.
Thus, during the following time, Ye Yunfei began training his speed.
Swoosh swoosh...
Ye Yunfei continuously swung his palm. One pitch-black spatial rift after another was condensed, his speed slowly improving.
At a certain moment.
"Three days are up."
Ye Yunfei stopped cultivating and stood up.
Swoosh swoosh...
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei's palms swung repeatedly, one pitch-black Spatial Blade after another continuously condensed, like black daggers, rapidly shooting forward.
Within one breath, Ye Yunfei had condensed ten Spatial Blades!
These ten Spatial Blades emitted absolutely no energy fluctuations; they were completely silent!
Moreover, if one tried to perceive these Spatial Blades using Soul Power, the Soul Power would be directly devoured, making it difficult to accurately sense them.
This was the eerie aspect of the Spatial Blade martial technique.
If this Spatial Blade were to be unleashed for a surprise attack from behind during a battle, its power was exceptionally great!
"Good. It's time to head to the Miao Clan headquarters!"
Ye Yunfei, bringing the Roc along, walked out of the spatial crack.
A short while later.
Ye Yunfei emerged from the spatial crack and returned to the outside world.
Then, Ye Yunfei descended onto the planet below, to where Huang Shang was hiding.
"It's already been three and a half days."
A wisp of sinister ghostly mist rose up from beneath the ground and appeared before Ye Yunfei, speaking.
It was precisely Huang Shang.
Ye Yunfei teleported Yang Xiaohu out from the Phantom Tower.
"Alright.
We need to get to the Miao Clan headquarters quickly now."
Ye Yunfei said to Yang Xiaohu.
"The Teleportation Formation is over there. Let's go."
Yang Xiaohu pointed towards a direction in the distance.
"You guide the way."
Ye Yunfei stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Xiaohu. The Roc rushed out from behind Ye Yunfei, spread its enormous wings, and gave a mighty flap.
Whoosh...
The Roc's massive form shot forward violently, leaving behind after-images in its wake as it moved towards the distance at an astonishing speed.
Ye Yunfei, meanwhile, entered the Roc's belly.
With the increase in spatial energy, this Roc's speed had reached a truly astounding level.
With every flap of its wings, it traversed a vast stretch of spatial distance, almost invisible to the naked eye.
This was one of the divine beast Roc's spatial supernatural abilities — once activated, it could shorten space!
It was said that a true divine beast Roc could traverse an entire world within a single breath!
Although Ye Yunfei's Roc was merely simulated through a technique and couldn't possess the great supernatural abilities of a true divine beast Roc, traversing shorter distances of space was still possible.
"This time, my spatial energy level has improved greatly. This Roc's current combat strength could likely hold its own even against a Lightning Tribulation Realm expert!"
Sensing the Roc's aura, Ye Yunfei was very satisfied.
"So fast!
Big brother, what's the origin of this beast?"
Staying within the Roc's belly, Yang Xiaohu and Ye Yunfei could feel the astounding speed of their advance. Utterly shocked, he couldn't help but ask.
"A Roc."
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
"What?
This beast is the legendary Roc?
Could it be that big brother simulated it with a technique?"
Yang Xiaohu was utterly dumbfounded.
A short while later.
An old, dilapidated palace appeared on the ground ahead.
"The Teleportation Formation is inside that palace."
Yang Xiaohu pointed at the palace and said.
Ye Yunfei's figure paused, and the Roc also came to a stop.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei stored the Roc away.
Then, together with Yang Xiaohu, he strode towards that palace.
