Inside the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei was diligently studying and practicing the ancient manual.
'Geomancy is truly vast and profound. Fortunately, I have some foundation; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to comprehend this geomantic text so quickly,' Ye Yunfei sighed with emotion.
As he delved deeper into the ancient manual, Ye Yunfei's proficiency in geomancy began to improve rapidly.
'Time to find a planet to test it out on.'
After repeatedly studying the manual several times, Ye Yunfei decided to test his newfound knowledge on a star.
Thus, Ye Yunfei piloted the flying ship to land on a planet.
It was a life-bearing planet, quite lively.
Ye Yunfei activated his Earth Master techniques and delved beneath the surface.
The planet was teeming with vitality, and the dense earth energy currents underground were abundant, surging like ceaseless rivers. However, only an Earth Master who had cultivated geomancy could clearly perceive the existence of these earth energies.
'Earth Dragons!'
After traversing underground for a short while, Ye Yunfei discovered an Earth Dragon.
Immediately, Ye Yunfei employed the Dragon Binding Art, charging forward to capture it.
After a bout of struggle, Ye Yunfei successfully subdued this Earth Dragon.
On this planet, Ye Yunfei captured several dozen Earth Dragons in one go.
Following that, Ye Yunfei directed the flying ship to proceed toward the Incomplete Chaos Universe. Whenever he encountered a planet rich with earth energy along the way, he would land and capture Earth Dragons.
Gradually, the number of Earth Dragons under Ye Yunfei's control grew larger and larger, reaching six or seven hundred.
'With so many Earth Dragons, I can practice quite a few secret arts and techniques from geomancy,' Ye Yunfei said contentedly as he counted the Earth Dragons within the Phantom Tower.
'Master, we are about to reach that Incomplete Chaos Universe,' Hu Miao said at this moment.
'Yes,' Ye Yunfei nodded.
At this time, within the cosmic starry expanse, the number of flying ships began to increase.
Most of the beings aboard these ships radiated sharp, formidable auras.
Some ships emitted profound, enigmatic auras, containing traces of space-time laws within, and were equipped with immensely vast internal spaces.
Some ships even flew banners, with their surfaces inscribed with elegant, flowing characters that fluttered in the wind.
These ships all hailed from prestigious major forces within the Canghuang Realm.
The closer they got to the Incomplete Chaos Universe, the more flying ships there were. In the starry sky, one ship after another sailed majestically toward the same direction.
'Master, it's really bustling!' Hu Miao couldn't help but exclaim.
'It seems the appeal of that Chaos Universe is quite significant,' Ye Yunfei nodded.
At the same time.
In another part of the nearby starry sky, a ship carved with images of ferocious, winged ghosts was flying rapidly.
Several hundred young people sat cross-legged inside the ship, each possessing extraordinary demeanor and sharp auras.
'This time, our Luosha Sect has brought over three hundred outstanding disciples. We are sure to achieve great harvests within that Incomplete Chaos Universe,' an old man on the ship announced.
'Hehe, naturally. Given our Luosha Sect's foundation and heritage, the disciples we cultivate are no less inferior than those from other forces. Our Luosha Sect disciples will surely shine brilliantly this time and awe the entire Canghuang Realm,' another old man laughed.
'Especially disciples Sima Jie, Pang Qian, Qin An, Liu Piaopiao, and Ning Junhao—I have high hopes for them. I expect them to grow rapidly during this expedition and become the new leading figures of our Luosha Sect,' the second elder continued.
'Elders, the Taiyi Sect's forces are ahead. Elder Jiang of the Taiyi Sect wishes for the young people of our two forces to get acquainted. Currently, Elder Jiang and Elder Mo of the Taiyi Sect, leading a group of young disciples, are waiting outside,' a middle-aged man reported as he emerged from the ship.
'Oh? Show them in quickly!' Upon hearing this, the two Luosha Sect elders inside the ship immediately stood up.
'Yes,' the middle-aged man went out.
'Sima Jie, Pang Qian, Qin An, Liu Piaopiao, Ning Junhao, and everyone else, straighten up. The Taiyi Sect's strength is not inferior to our Luosha Sect, and they have also cultivated many outstanding disciples. Getting to know them well will benefit your future development,' one of the Luosha Sect elders said.
'Yes!' All the Luosha Sect disciples inside the ship responded in unison, rising to their feet one after another.
The five elite disciples leading the group each possessed an imposing and outstanding presence, standing head and shoulders above the rest. One of them was precisely Qin An!
'Ye Yunfei, do you see? Those I interact with now are all the most monstrous young geniuses in this universe. I suppose at this moment, you are still most likely staying comfortably in the Tianxuan Continent, basking in your status as the continent's top cultivator. But what does a mere Tianxuan Continent amount to? Even if you are the number one on Tianxuan Continent, so what? You simply have no idea how vast the world outside is, how broad the stage out here truly is! Regardless of how glorious you might have been in the past, the current you is utterly insignificant before me! Just wait, I will soon return to settle accounts with you! The one who laughs last will undoubtedly be me!' At this moment, Qin An was filled with a soaring sense of pride and ambition.
Elsewhere in the starry sky.
A lavishly decorated, luxurious flying ship was speeding along.
A grand banner fluttered on this ship, its surface inscribed with the words 'Su Family'!
Everyone knew this was the ship of the Su Family from the Canghuang Realm.
'I heard that the Su Family's goddess, Su Qingluo, has come in person. This time, we finally have a chance to witness the grace of the goddess,' a martial artist nearby whispered in a hushed voice.
The Su Family was one of the top families in the Canghuang Realm. Generally, no one dared to comment openly, but many beings discussed them privately.
'Hehe... Even if Su Qingluo has come, it's none of your business. Haven't you heard? Ximen Yi from the Sword Palace has also come. Ximen Yi and Su Qingluo are the publicly recognized pair. Besides Ximen Yi, there's a host of other talented geniuses pursuing Su Qingluo. People like us with average aptitude shouldn't dream of a toad eating swan meat,' someone sneered.
'Indeed. Only a monstrous young talent like Ximen Yi has the qualifications to match Su Qingluo,' many in the surroundings nodded in agreement.
At this time, inside the Su Family's ship, Su Qingluo and a group of Su Family young disciples sat cross-legged, conserving their energy and preparing for the upcoming expedition.
Su Qingluo sat in a corner, resting with her eyes closed.
However, for the past few days, a certain figure had lingered persistently in Su Qingluo's heart.
That figure was, of course, Ye Yunfei!
'This time, the most monstrous batch of young geniuses from the Canghuang Realm are gathering in this Incomplete Chaos Universe to compete on the same stage. Without question, it will be extremely lively. Unfortunately, he is missing.' Su Qingluo sighed quietly in her heart.
Just then.
'Elder, an elder from the Sword Palace has brought a group of disciples and is waiting ahead. They wish to enter our Su Clan's ship to have a pleasant gathering with our Su Clan's juniors,' a Su Family steward hurried into the ship, reporting to a Su Clan elder.
'Oh? Is Ximen Yi among them?' the Su Clan elder asked after a moment of surprise.
'Yes, Ximen Yi is also there. He specifically asked me if Princess Qingluo was present,' the steward replied.
Inside the ship, all the Su Family disciples turned their gazes toward Su Qingluo. Everyone knew—Ximen Yi had come specifically for Su Qingluo!
