Boom!
Under the gazes of the crowd, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er heavily slammed into a point on the upper half of the mountain peak. The point shook violently as if two huge boulders had been thrown into the surface of the sea.
"Those two brats really crashed into it!"
"Those two are doomed. Though even if they hadn't crashed, they would have died at the hands of the Corpse World and Tianyou Tomb forces. Hah, well, it's no surprise. Young people have the hot blood of youth, and their tempers can be fierce."
Seeing that Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er had truly crashed into the mountain peak, many shook their heads in astonishment as they spoke.
Then, in the next moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei, leading Situ Kong'er, directly traversed into the depths of time and space. They looked like two fish plunging into the profound depths of an ocean with towering waves.
During this traversal, the energy and laws of time and space radiating from Ye Yunfei's body protected them both; they were not shredded by the chaotic temporal and spatial energies around them.
Witnessing this, everyone was struck dumb with disbelief.
Previously, they all believed Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er would certainly be shredded into dust by the chaotic temporal and spatial energies and laws there. They never expected this outcome—the two had actually traversed deep into the fabric of time and space!
"Impossible!"
"How could they have traversed in from here?"
The experts from the Corpse World and Tianyou Tomb were also dumbfounded. Just moments before, they were convinced Ye Yunfei's pair wouldn't dare to truly crash into that mountain peak, so they hadn't intervened to stop them. Now, it seemed as if they'd been slapped in the face. Many cried out resentfully.
Under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er soon pierced through the fabric of time and space, entering another space—within the Heaven Beyond Heaven!
"We should have stopped them!" one Corpse World expert cried out in unwillingness.
At this moment, the experts from Corpse World and Tianyou Tomb were filled with deep regret.
If they had known this would be the result, they would have intervened to stop the two earlier. With their strength, they could have easily handled two youngsters. Now, they had let such an opportunity slip through their fingers.
"Damn it!"
A Corpse World elder gnashing his teeth, fists clenched tightly, his face contorted with rage.
He was the very one who had previously mocked Ye Yunfei for having no escape route, accusing him of "a drowning man clutching at straws."
"I'll try as well!"
Suddenly, a mid-rank Mind Star Realm expert from Corpse World moved, charging toward the spot on the upper part of the mountain where Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er had traversed.
This Mind Star Realm expert thought, since two youths like Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er with their cultivation levels could traverse inside, shouldn't someone at his level be able to as well?
The other Corpse World experts watched him charge, not stopping him, as they also wanted to see the outcome.
Boom!
The next moment, this Mind Star Realm expert's body crashed onto the upper half of the peak. With a deafening roar, vast waves of temporal and spatial energy and laws transformed into several dozen tornado-like vortices that mercilessly shredded the expert's body.
Ah!
Following a scream, that Mind Star Realm expert from Corpse World was reduced to fine powder on the spot.
Too terrifying!
Those witnessing this felt a chill crawl down their spines.
A Mind Star Realm expert was instantly killed like that!
"But... then why were those two youngsters completely unscathed just now?"
An elder swallowed hard and couldn't help but voice the question.
"I've got it!"
"It must be that Su Fei possesses some kind of secret treasure related to time and space! That's how he managed to forcibly traverse into Heaven Beyond Heaven from here!"
Someone suddenly declared.
A Time-Space secret treasure?
The crowd was taken aback by the suggestion.
"That makes sense!"
"This Su Fei hails from the Ziwei Sect in the Eastern Wastelands, a Great Emperor's tradition! It's perfectly normal for them to have passed down one or two secret treasures!"
"It seems that the Ziwei Sect's continuous rise these past months must indeed be due to the legacy and treasures left behind by the Ziwei Great Emperor!"
"No wonder the Corpse World and Tianyou Tomb have been hunting Su Fei relentlessly. They must be after the Emperor-grade secret treasure on his person!"
…
Then, comprehension dawned on the crowd. They firmly believed that the reason Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er could traverse into Heaven Beyond Heaven must have been because they possessed a secret treasure.
"Everyone, from now on, we should also look for opportunities to act against that Su Fei, and strive to seize the secret treasure on his person!"
Selfish ambitions began to stir among numerous factions, and they started plotting via sound transmission.
Right at this moment.
Boom!
The upper half of the mountain peak ahead began violently shaking again. The structure of time and space twisted intensely, seemingly on the verge of collapse and disintegration.
"Everyone, good news! The Heaven Beyond Heaven's entrance/exit point seems about to reopen!"
A white-haired elder stared fixedly at that spot and stated solemnly.
Hearing this, the crowd's faces lit up with joy.
"According to ancient legends, the Heaven Beyond Heaven is fraught with extreme danger. Are all of you truly planning to enter?"
Suddenly, another expert loudly asked at this point.
"Hmph!"
"Even a youngster like Su Fei dares to enter Heaven Beyond Heaven. What have we to fear? The moment the entrance reopens, I'm going straight in!"
A Corpse World expert snorted coldly.
"Exactly! Even two juniors dared to enter. What are we afraid of? Are we seasoned experts who've lived a lifetime going to be less courageous than two juniors?"
Numerous experts voiced their opinions.
At this point, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er had already stepped into the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
The moment they entered this alien world, both felt as if the entire heaven and earth had completely changed.
The density of spiritual qi in this world before them was simply staggering—it was over a dozen times denser than the outside world!
It felt as if one had suddenly stepped from an arid spiritual desert into a lush oasis brimming with qi.
Surrounding spiritual qi condensed into mist, rising in wisps and curls. Everywhere was overgrown with all sorts of spirit flowers and spirit herbs, rare and ancient medicinals that seemed incredibly common here.
"Brother Su! These medicinal plants alone make our risky dash worthwhile!"
Situ Kong'er's eyes gleamed as he gazed at the mountains and plains of spirit medicines.
He had once been infamous in the Central Divine Land for his skills in deception and trickery, specializing in taking advantage of others. Naturally, he learned to treasure their wealth with great importance. He had somewhat tempered this nature after following Ye Yunfei, but now, it began to show.
"Master Huang, Hu Miao, all of you, come out and help gather the medicinal herbs."
With a thought, Ye Yunfei summoned Huang Shang, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Ice Demon, his Blood Clan clone, and over a thousand slaves. He sent each a detailed list of medicinal types and recognition techniques directly into their soul seas, then assigned them to gather the spirit herbs they encountered along the way.
"Everyone, remember: only harvest those herbs with significant value. Don't waste time on less valuable ones. Also, the spiritual qi here is extremely rich, and its quality surpasses the outside world. Try to absorb as much as you can!"
Ye Yunfei instructed everyone.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei led the group forward, advancing deeper into the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
"Master, I've found so many precious medicinal herbs!
Wow! A One Thousand Five Hundred-Year Dragon Scale Herb!"
Hu Miao dashed towards a brilliantly dazzling spirit grass.
"A One Thousand-Year Nine-Aperture Spirit Earth Fruit!
I'm eating it!"
Meanwhile, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm charged towards a spiritual vine growing spirit fruits underground, shouting excitedly. Luckily, Ye Yunfei, with swift eyes and hands, used an earth dragon to snatch the growing earth spirit fruit from underground before it could be eaten.
As they journeyed, Ye Yunfei discovered that not only did this world contain various rare medicinal herbs, but also countless ancient medicines—hundreds of years old, thousands of years old, even several thousand years old specimens were present!
