"Hurry up! They've discovered a grove of Nameless Divine Fruits ahead. It's said these fruits have a miraculous effect of purifying energy. Consuming them can purify and refine all power, whether spiritual or immortal energy, solidifying one's cultivation realm and stabilizing one's foundation!"
Ye Yunfei, Juren Zu Zhang, and several others were advancing within this Small World when they suddenly heard a voice ringing out from afar.
The speaker was very far from Ye Yunfei, but Ye Yunfei possessed astonishing Soul Force Energy and had also released his Mental Force, allowing him to capture such faint, long-distance sounds.
"Nameless Divine Fruits that can purify and refine energy? These are truly rare treasures!"
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei's heart stirred.
For any cultivated being, the purer the energy within their body, the more solid their foundation and the more stable their realm.
"Let's go!"
Without time to explain, Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeve and directly swept up Juren Zu Zhang and the five elders, then activated his movement technique to silently pursue the creature that had spoken.
With two million dragon units of physical strength and assisted by spatial teleportation arts, Ye Yunfei's movement speed reached a startling level. The slightest motion propelled him across vast distances. With each step a teleportation, his speed could be considered extreme.
As he advanced, Ye Yunfei employed the Hidden Shadow Secret Art to suppress his aura.
The Hidden Shadow Secret Art cast with his current level of power and cultivation was naturally first-rate in effect!
Soon, Ye Yunfei saw over a dozen figures rapidly charging in one direction ahead.
"These seem to be disciples of the Reincarnation Palace," Ye Yunfei thought, sensing their auras and momentarily taken aback.
Ye Yunfei had interacted with members of the Reincarnation Palace numerous times before and was very familiar with the aura of their cultivation arts, thus immediately recognizing the identities of these dozen or so people.
"It seems the Reincarnation Palace forces have dispersed to explore and seek treasures in different places. That's indeed the best method. Staying together in one group would only allow them to explore a limited number of Small Worlds."
Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
"I wonder where Qing Luo is now? Will I have a chance to encounter her within this secret realm?"
Watching the Reincarnation Palace members ahead, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but think of Su Qingluo, sighing internally.
"If I really do get a chance to meet Qing Luo, I must go and ask her about the matter between us!"
Ye Yunfei steeled his resolve.
"Quickly, that Nameless Divine Fruit grove is just ahead!"
At that moment, a disciple of the Reincarnation Palace suddenly spoke up, picking up speed as he charged forward.
The others grew excited upon hearing this and also quickened their pace to follow.
Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique from behind, silently trailing them.
Moments later, sure enough, a grove of Nameless Divine Fruits appeared ahead.
Every ancient tree shone with brilliant divine light, illuminating the expanse in front with crystalline clarity. Each tree bore fruit like sculptures of white jade, exuding a rich, light fragrance that was utterly enticing.
Auspmurmuric vapors enveloped the woods, and divine radiance interwove, giving it an air of profound sanctity.
Ye Yunfei finally understood why the Reincarnation Palace disciple had called this ancient grove the Nameless Divine Fruit Forest. This ancient woodland looked holy and serene. The fruits each radiated divine splendor; a single glance told one they were extraordinary—certainly sacred items.
At this point, a large crowd of beings had already gathered before this Divine Fruit grove, eager and restless.
It was just that within that ancient forest, dozens of creature corpses lay scattered haphazardly. Some bodies had been dismembered into several parts, their flesh darkened and suppurating. One look was enough to know that terrifying perils lurked within that ancient grove.
"Everyone, don't fear! I've already entered this Nameless Divine Fruit Forest before and plucked a divine fruit. Refining and absorbing it has stabilized my realm considerably. Let's all act together! As the saying goes, great riches lie within danger!"
Shortly after Ye Yunfei arrived, a man gripping a steel saber roared out. He then brandished his blade and charged toward the ancient forest.
"Let's do it too!"
Seeing someone take action, a dozen or so people nearby also couldn't hold back. They activated their movement techniques and charged toward the ancient forest ahead.
Boom...
Some among these beings unleashed their energy pressure, others summoned their magical treasures, while still others employed various secret arts and techniques to shield their advance, each acting as if facing a formidable enemy.
Soon, the steel-saber-wielding man leading the charge rushed into the ancient forest. Since he had successfully entered this grove before and even plucked a fruit, he was brimming with confidence.
Following him, over a dozen beings entered the ancient forest.
Sss! Sss!
Just as these beings who had rushed into the forest were brimming with excitement and ready to pluck the Nameless Divine Fruits, suddenly, pitch-black lines descended from the branches and leaves of those ancient trees, like strands of dark steel wire, sharp and menacing.
The pitch-black strands of steel seemed alive, lashing out to slice toward the creatures that had trespassed into the grove.
Even more bizarre, as these dark threads appeared, bursts of black Yin Thunder incessantly exploded around them. Yin energy surged like a tide, and murderous aura soared to the heavens.
"These things again! Let's join forces to block them!"
The leading steel-saber-wielding man's face paled slightly. Last time he entered this grove, these pitch-black lines had nearly killed him.
Clang! Clang...!
The dozen or so beings joined forces to withstand the assault of the dark threads.
Clang! Clang...!
Within the ancient grove, a series of ear-piercing metallic clashing sounds rang out.
A moment later.
"Ah!"
The man holding the steel saber suddenly let out a bloodcurdling scream. Dozens of black strands abruptly intertwined, forming a large dark net that descended from above, directly trapping the man within.
Thud!
The next instant, the man's body was sliced into over a dozen pieces. All his remains were blackened and festering, a wretched sight to behold.
"Ahh... Ah..."
The other beings who had barged into the grove also fell victim to slaughter. In moments, half were dead, with only two or three lucky enough to escape.
"These are Yin-Line Thunder Worms! A type of extremely rare, sinister insect!"
Suddenly, a disciple of the Reincarnation Palace exclaimed in shock, recognizing the origins of those pitch-black strands.
"Yin-Line Thunder Worms?"
The beings surrounding them were somewhat startled upon hearing the Reincarnation Palace disciple's words.
"As expected of Reincarnation Palace disciples! Even legendary rare insects like these can be recognized."
Someone murmured softly.
"Let's go in! Although the name 'Yin-Line Thunder Worm' contains the character for 'thunder', it is actually a creature of pure Yin nature. We shall use Yang to overcome Yin!"
A disciple of the Reincarnation Palace quietly said to his fellow disciples.
Then, under the lead of this disciple, all the Reincarnation Palace disciples charged into the ancient forest.
"It seems the Reincarnation Palace members have a way to deal with those Yin-Line Thunder Worms. Let's watch first, then go in!"
Seeing this, the other beings' spirits were lifted.
"Everyone, I've just received orders. The operation has begun. We are to capture all these Reincarnation Palace disciples!"
At this moment, completely unnoticed, a black-clad man in the distance took out a Communication Jade Slip, sensed its contents, then sent a Sound Transmission to several beings around him.
