"This Teleportation Altar is of excellent quality, likely built by a mighty figure of the ancient Demon Realm."
After a while, Ye Yunfei concluded that the level of this Teleportation Altar was indeed superb. Its structure was incredibly stable; despite having endured endless epochs, its power hadn't diminished in the slightest.
After all, most teleportation altars would see their inherent spatial energy and laws weaken after long periods of time.
"So, the interior of this altar is arranged with three Space-Stabilizing Grand Formations and has a batch of Chaos Void Crystals sealed within! No wonder its teleportation efficacy can remain unchanged over time. These three formations not only preserve the energy within the Chaos Void Crystals, preventing it from dissipating, they also continuously absorb spatial energy and laws from the surrounding void, replenishing both the altar and the crystals.
Hmm, the Demon Race member who built this altar must have possessed astonishing attainment in spatial energy and laws! From the looks of it, it was probably personally constructed by one of those ancient fossils who have been hibernating beneath Ancient Demon Mountain, as only those old monsters would have the capability to create such a masterful Teleportation Altar." Ye Yunfei mentally deduced, already having a rough guess as to who built the altar before him.
When Ye Yunfei was the Heavenly Emperor, he once ventured into the Demon Realm and inadvertently disturbed those ancient fossils beneath Ancient Demon Mountain. They personally came out to deal with him, guaranteeing that the Demon Race would never become enemies with Emperor Ye. In the end, neither side took action, and Ye Yunfei departed from the Demon Realm.
"The Heaven Beyond Heaven is merely a Small World. For those old monsters to be personally roused into building such a Teleportation Altar for it... this is somewhat strange.
It seems it must be because of that Immortal Soil World within the formation. What kind of astonishing secret is hidden inside?" Ye Yunfei lightly frowned.
He knew that ordinary treasures and opportunities in this world wouldn't catch the attention of those old monsters.
"Unfortunately, given my current strength, I cannot enter the second and third layers of that formation. I'll return to the Heaven Beyond Heaven once my power allows and explore that formation clearly." Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
"Now, the Chaos Void Crystals within this altar belong to me!" Having thoroughly studied the altar, Ye Yunfei unleashed spatial energy, slashing his hand.
Shoosh! Shoosh!
Dozens of inky black spatial blades, resembling schools of dark fish, shot towards the altar—nearly a hundred in total.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spatial blades continuously hacked at the altar, causing it to crumble and disintegrate piece by piece.
Finally, with a final explosion, it shattered completely.
Chunks of black crystals shot out from the altar's interior, numbering several thousand.
These black stones were Chaos Void Crystals! Formed in the depths of the void, they were an extremely precious and rare type of spatial crystal, containing vastly more spatial energy than ordinary spatial law crystals!
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei beckoned with his hand, and all the Chaos Void Crystals flew toward him.
There were over six thousand pieces!
"No wonder the structure and teleportation ability of this altar remained so stable despite the long passage of time. With so many Chaos Void Crystals and three Space-Stabilizing Grand Formations, it probably could have remained usable for another thousand years." Ye Yunfei remarked with a sigh.
"We split these Chaos Void Crystals, half for you, half for me."
With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei sent half of the crystals floating before the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Alright." The silkworm didn't stand on ceremony and directly stored its half.
Since spatial energy was one of his racial talents, he genuinely needed these spatial crystals for cultivation.
Ye Yunfei focused his intent, and the Roc emerged from behind him. It opened its beak and inhaled, swallowing the remaining half of the Chaos Void Crystals.
The Roc then returned to its compartment within the Nine Palace Totem Wheel's grid to begin refining and absorbing the crystals.
Whenever this Roc's spatial energy level increased, Ye Yunfei's own spatial energy would correspondingly rise as well.
In fact, the nine divine beasts of the Nine Palace Totem Wheel were essentially extensions of Ye Yunfei himself!
"After I refine these Chaos Void Crystals, my bloodline will probably undergo another breakthrough." the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said excitedly.
"This Teleportation Altar is destroyed. It will be very difficult for the Demon Race to enter the Heaven Beyond Heaven from now on. The hidden danger for Primordial Continent is resolved." Ye Yunfei looked at the shattered altar debris before him.
If this altar hadn't been destroyed, the Demon Race could have entered Heaven Beyond Heaven at any time. And since Heaven Beyond Heaven was connected to Primordial Continent, it would have posed a significant latent threat to the beings of the continent. Should the Demon Race ever decide to invade Primordial Continent, it would bring immense disaster.
"Alright, let's get out."
Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm emerged from the depths of the spatial void.
"Alright, let's return to Primordial Continent."
Ye Yunfei then led his party towards the entrance-exit of Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Along the way, they harvested many more precious herbs and crystals.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance-exit point.
From afar, Ye Yunfei could see the master of Longevity Palace, Pan Wanjun, and Rou'er standing by the entrance. The entrance had actually collapsed!
"Young Miss, look! Su Fei and the others are here!" Upon spotting Ye Yunfei's group, Rou'er exclaimed excitedly.
Soon, Ye Yunfei descended with Hu Miao and the others, landing at the site of the collapsed entrance.
"Young man, I misjudged you earlier. My apologies.
It turns out Jun'er and Rou'er insisted on following you inside, and they also benefited greatly from your care along the way." The Palace Master looked at Ye Yunfei, his gaze having become much more amiable.
It seemed Pan Wanjun and Rou'er had already explained everything to him.
"There's no need for courtesy, Palace Master." Ye Yunfei offered a light smile.
In fact, for the Palace Master of Longevity Palace to proactively apologize to a junior was quite rare. Any other young man would have been utterly overwhelmed by such an honor. But Ye Yunfei appeared perfectly composed.
"No wonder this young man has shaken the entire Central Divine Land in such a short time. He truly possesses extraordinary qualities." the Palace Master observed inwardly.
"Su Fei, this entrance is destroyed! Hurry up and figure out a way to take us out!" Rou'er urged Ye Yunfei.
"Getting out will be difficult. This space-time passageway has collapsed and disintegrated. The space and time within are utterly chaotic. If we risk venturing in, finding the correct direction will be exceedingly hard. We might get lost in the disordered space-time, or even be permanently exiled to unknown realms." The Palace Master shook his head and sighed.
He had already studied this spot for a long while but hadn't found any method of egress.
"Then what do we do? Are we trapped here forever? I don't like it here!" Rou'er grew somewhat anxious.
"Don't worry. I'll take you out." Ye Yunfei sent his perception into the space-time passageway and said with a smile.
"What? Young man, you can take us out?" Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Palace Master simply didn't believe it.
