"This city contains exceptionally profound Heartforce energy and Heartforce Laws," Ye Yunfei said slowly.
"Heartforce energy and Heartforce Laws?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Right!
Why didn't I think of that? I always assumed it was energy and laws related to Illusions, Time, and Space, never considering the Heartforce! Now that you mention it, that is definitely a possibility!"
The Remnant Soul suddenly snapped awake, clapping its hands and exclaiming.
"But Heartforce is an obscure type of energy and law. Only beings with innate talent in this area can begin practicing it and achieve mastery. Those without talent, even if they force themselves to learn, won't achieve much. In my past life, although I was a Demigod, my cultivation in Heartforce energy and laws was quite ordinary, not worth mentioning. No wonder I was never able to sense the presence of Heartforce energy and laws within this city," the Remnant Soul continued.
"Frankly, it's embarrassing to admit that your cultivation in Heartforce energy might actually be higher than mine was back then," the Remnant Soul added, addressing Ye Yunfei.
"You flatter me, Senior. No matter how arrogant I may be, I dare not compare myself to a Demigod Senior," Ye Yunfei laughed.
"Not necessarily. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Even a Demigod doesn't know everything. For instance, in formations, alchemy, or artifact forging, a Heavenly Immortal could potentially surpass a Demigod. It's the same with Heartforce. Heartforce energy and laws place great emphasis on innate talent. Without the talent, even high realm and power are useless," the Remnant Soul said.
"Master, since we now know it's Heartforce energy and laws causing trouble in this city, have you thought of a way to deal with it?" Hu Miao asked.
"Not yet.
However, since such profound Heartforce energy and laws exist here, it's highly likely there are some Heartforce-related treasures. Moreover, I plan to try and comprehend the Heartforce energy and laws here, to see if I can gain some benefits," Ye Yunfei shook his head and then replied.
"Master, do you mean you want to cultivate Heartforce energy and laws here?" Hu Miao asked.
"Yes.
For me, this place might be an excellent training ground for Heartforce energy," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Well then, take your time and ponder it," the Remnant Soul said.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged in the middle of the street. With a thought, a black pearl flew out and floated in front of him, emanating dense Heartforce energy like a miniature black hole.
The Heart-Refining Pearl!
Ever since obtaining this pearl, Ye Yunfei would use it to cultivate his Heartforce energy whenever he had time. This was the main reason his Heartforce energy had been steadily improving.
Buzz…
The Heart-Refining Pearl floated in front of Ye Yunfei's body, trembling lightly as if resonating with the surrounding space.
"There really is highly profound Heartforce energy in the surrounding space!"
Ye Yunfei was pleasantly surprised by the pearl's reaction.
Next, Ye Yunfei released his own Heartforce energy and channeled it into the Heart-Refining Pearl. The pearl immediately began tempering Ye Yunfei's Heartforce energy.
As time passed, Ye Yunfei's Heartforce energy, tempered by the pearl, began to slowly increase.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei also released his Heartforce energy to sense in all directions, wanting to capture the Heartforce energy and laws existing in the surrounding space. At first, he perceived nothing.
But gradually, Ye Yunfei began to sense something, feeling a somewhat familiar type of energy existing in the surrounding space.
Ye Yunfei knew this was Heartforce energy.
Heartforce energy was extremely profound and subtle, hard to perceive with Soul Power.
The best method was to use Heartforce energy to perceive Heartforce energy.
Ye Yunfei already had a certain level of attainment in Heartforce energy, so he could vaguely capture the Heartforce energy in the surrounding space.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged in the street, cultivating his Heartforce energy while sensing the space around him.
An unknown amount of time passed.
"I can finally feel the Heartforce energy present in the surrounding space! The Heartforce energy here is incredibly advanced!"
Ye Yunfei revealed an expression of delight.
"In comparison, my own Heartforce energy is very weak. I wouldn't dare compare it to the energy here. I can't even approach it closely; otherwise, it might trigger an attack from this Heartforce energy against me."
Soon, Ye Yunfei discovered this point, revealing a cautious expression.
"It seems I might not be able to use the Heartforce energy and laws in this city to cultivate and elevate my Heartforce energy level," Ye Yunfei felt somewhat disappointed.
Buzz, buzz…
At this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly noticed the Heart-Refining Pearl trembling violently.
Boom…
Following that, Ye Yunfei was startled to discover that the Heart-Refining Pearl had actually absorbed a thread of Heartforce energy from the surrounding space.
"Can this Heart-Refining Pearl actually absorb the Heartforce energy of this city?"
Ye Yunfei was greatly astonished.
After absorbing that thread of Heartforce energy, the pearl began tempering it.
A moment later, something delighting Ye Yunfei occurred. The Heart-Refining Pearl actually transmitted the tempered Heartforce energy to Ye Yunfei!
In other words, this Heart-Refining Pearl absorbed Heartforce energy from the surrounding space, tempered it, and then transmitted it to Ye Yunfei, becoming Ye Yunfei's own Heartforce energy!
"So the Heart-Refining Pearl has this function too. Excellent!"
Ye Yunfei exclaimed excitedly.
"Master, what's happening?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei so agitated, Hu Miao and the others grew curious.
Ye Yunfei explained what had just happened.
"It seems this Heart-Refining Pearl is a truly good treasure," Hun Lao said.
"Could it be a Demigod-level magical artifact? Where did you get it from? Did you encounter a Demigod master before? Unfortunately, my cultivation in Heartforce energy is too low, I can't even tell if your artifact is Heavenly Immortal level or Demigod level," the Remnant Soul asked.
"Regardless of its level, it's very useful to me right now," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
In the following period, Ye Yunfei continuously used the Heart-Refining Pearl to absorb and temper Heartforce energy from the surrounding space.
Each time, the Heart-Refining Pearl could only absorb and temper a single thread of Heartforce energy, but even a single thread was quite beneficial for Ye Yunfei because the Heartforce energy present in the surrounding space was exceptionally advanced.
As time passed, the speed at which Ye Yunfei's Heartforce energy level improved grew faster and faster.
Gradually, Ye Yunfei perceived the Heartforce energy and laws in the surrounding space with increasing clarity.
Unconsciously, several days passed.
Ye Yunfei's Heartforce energy had already improved by a large margin.
"Alright, now let me try walking around this city again. Let's see if I'll still get lost and return to the starting point like before, and whether those creatures will still emerge from the sides of the streets to attack me," Ye Yunfei stood up and murmured.
He then used one of his Soul Bodies to control the Heart-Refining Pearl, continuing to absorb and temper Heartforce energy from the surroundings while heading towards the end of the street.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei entered another street.
Roar, roar…
As soon as Ye Yunfei stepped into this street, a large crowd of beings rushed out from both sides. There were beings of various races: humans, beasts, avian creatures, demon race, demonic race, etc., all kinds were present.
A massive number of beings surged towards Ye Yunfei from all directions to surround and attack him.
"Master, let us come out to help you fight them!"
Hu Miao was alarmed and cried out.
"No need.
Let me deal with them myself!"
Ye Yunfei replied.
In the next moment, with a thought, Ye Yunfei unleashed his Formless Heart Sword, striking at one of the beings.
With a bang, the being's body was directly pierced through with a bloody hole, sending it flying backward. The being, crashing onto the ground, then slowly faded and vanished.
"Just as I thought!
Using Heartforce secret arts against these creatures is very effective," Ye Yunfei murmured.
Previously, the creatures Ye Yunfei encountered wouldn't be harmed even if sliced in half, instantly restoring themselves.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Yunfei continuously unleashed the Formless Heart Sword, hitting one after another of the charging beings. After being struck by Ye Yunfei, these beings quickly vanished, not reappearing.
"We fought so hard before! It turns out we needed to use Heartforce energy against these things!"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out.
"Using Heartforce energy against them isn't easy either, because there are so many of them,"
Ye Yunfei said with a bitter smile.
At this moment, countless beings of all types poured out from the surroundings of the street, densely packed like a tide, sweeping towards Ye Yunfei.
Although Ye Yunfei continuously used the Formless Heart Sword, killing one after another, more continued to charge forward from behind, giving a feeling of being unable to finish them off.
Gradually, Ye Yunfei began to feel his heartforce depleting.
Fortunately, the Heart-Refining Pearl was continuously absorbing and tempering Heartforce energy from the surroundings, replenishing him, allowing Ye Yunfei to barely hold on.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yunfei finally killed all the beings in this street, leaving none remaining.
The slain beings disappeared without a trace, leaving no evidence behind.
Ye Yunfei plopped down onto the ground, breathing heavily from exhaustion.
"The feeling of mental exhaustion is not pleasant at all!"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sigh.
Continuously using Heartforce energy in combat consumed a great amount of heartforce, resulting in exhaustion.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, using the Heart-Refining Pearl to temper and absorb the Heartforce energy from the surroundings while resting.
Finally, after half a day.
Ye Yunfei felt his heartforce had recovered.
"My Heartforce energy has increased by another large margin! So fighting those creatures is actually an excellent method to cultivate Heartforce energy!"
Ye Yunfei felt refreshed, full of vigor, and in peak condition.
"Excellent. This opportunity to cultivate Heartforce energy is rare. I absolutely cannot miss it. Continue!"
Ye Yunfei stood up and moments later arrived in yet another street.
This street also surged with a large number of beings. Without a word, Ye Yunfei charged forward and began battling.
After a difficult struggle, Ye Yunfei again felt heartforce depletion, but after a long rest period, his Heartforce energy improved by another significant margin!
In the following time, Ye Yunfei stepped into one street after another, battling batch after batch of beings.
Throughout this process, Ye Yunfei's Heartforce energy level rapidly and continuously increased.
"My current Heartforce energy level is at least dozens of times higher than when I first entered this city!"
At one point, sensing his own Heartforce energy level, Ye Yunfei exclaimed excitedly.
Heartforce energy was originally an obscure energy with high cultivation difficulty. For someone to increase their Heartforce energy level dozens of times in a short period was nearly an impossible feat!
"Entering this city has been an enormous gain!"
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
"This guy's luck is truly enviable. It seems wherever he goes, he encounters incredible opportunities. Could it be that this guy is someone blessed with great destiny? Legend says those with great fortune receive favor from the Heavenly Dao, often enjoying phenomenal luck,"
the Remnant Soul couldn't help but think to himself.
"Master, now when you move around in this city, you probably won't get lost and won't end up back at the starting point like before, right?"
Hu Miao asked curiously.
"Most likely won't get lost anymore, but I need to try to know for sure," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei stepped into another street.
This time, Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised.
Because in this street, there were over a dozen beings looking restless and anxious.
These beings seemed to be like him—having barged in from outside.
"It's him!
That guy surnamed Ye, the one with two bounty warrants on his head!"
Someone recognized Ye Yunfei and shouted, pointing at him.
"How did he get here?
We've been trapped in this street for several days. No matter how we try to leave, we always end up back in this damn street. How did he get here?"
"Could he have just entered and was teleported here?"
Those dozen or so beings were rather shocked and began discussing.
"Hey kid, come here and explain what's going on!"
a burly middle-aged man shouted.
"Looks like there's no need to test it. We couldn't leave the original street no matter what before, and never encountered any other beings from outside. Now we've finally met beings from outside. It seems we have indeed escaped that initial street," Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
"It seems that with the improvement in your Heartforce energy, the Heartforce energy and laws in this city can no longer affect your sense of direction. You can now move freely within this city," the Remnant Soul said.
"Since that's the case, let's first search for Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue. They should be alright, right," Ye Yunfei said.
"Always thinking about rescuing beauties. Have you taken a fancy to those two?
They possess the bloodline inheritance of the Heavenly Mermaid Princess within them. If you obtain them, the benefits would be significant," the Remnant Soul said with a laugh.
"With my master's charm, if he makes a move, he could easily capture the hearts of those two beauties," Hu Miao said, smiling.
