The next moment, the old man actually vanished.
Ye Yunfei was shocked. He sped up and rushed to the spot where the old man had disappeared, only to find an incredibly sturdy spatial barrier.
Ye Yunfei raised his fist. Vast and mighty physical power poured forth, combined with his cultivated spatial energy, as he punched forward.
As Ye Yunfei made his move, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao also performed their spatial secret techniques to coordinate with him, hoping to combine their strength and break through the spatial barrier ahead.
However, the attacks of Ye Yunfei, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hun Lao landed on the spatial barrier with no reaction whatsoever, like mud oxen sinking into the sea.
"Unbelievable, the spatial barrier of this small space is actually so sturdy. Our attacks seem completely useless," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said, dumbfounded.
Then Ye Yunfei, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hun Lao worked together, attacking the spatial barrier repeatedly.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei also utilized his Geomancy Technique, trying to connect with the Earth Qi Energy and Earth Laws outside. But Ye Yunfei simply couldn't sense the Earth Qi Energy and Earth Laws from the outside. All the Geomancy Technique he tried was completely ineffective.
Ye Yunfei then took out a spatial teleportation token, wanting to teleport away, but it was useless. Teleportation was simply impossible.
Ye Yunfei then took out a large batch of magic treasures, activated them all, and blasted them towards the spatial barrier. Still, there was no effect.
Ye Yunfei, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hun Lao exhausted all their methods, struggling for nearly half an hour, yet they achieved absolutely no results.
"This small space is too hard. With our strength, we simply can't break through the space to escape.
Disaster! Are we doomed to stay in this dead person's grave from now on?
This place is way too creepy. And the master of this grave could climb out of his coffin to deal with us at any time. I really don't want to stay here," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said with a sorrowful face.
"It seems we only have one path forward," Ye Yunfei sighed after thinking for a moment.
"Are you planning to agree to that old fellow's deal?
If you truly cooperate with that old fellow and excavate the graves of the powerful beings on this island, they will definitely climb out of their coffins to settle accounts with you," Hun Lao reminded him.
"But if we don't cooperate with him, we'll probably never leave this island. We might not even be able to step out of this grave.
One is the immediate trouble, the other is future trouble. We can only solve the immediate trouble first. As for what comes later, we'll deal with it later. We simply have no choice," Ye Yunfei replied with a sigh.
"That makes sense.
This island has so many precious treasures. Let's make a windfall first.
As for the future, we'll deal with it later. Solving the current trouble is what's most important," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately voiced his agreement.
"Given the current situation, we indeed have no other options," Hun Lao sighed.
"That old guy is so wicked. This had nothing to do with us originally, but he forcibly dragged us in," Hu Miao cursed.
Right at this moment.
Crack, crack, crack…
Ye Yunfei suddenly heard the sounds of coffin boards moving behind him. The sounds were hair-raising.
"Not good!
It seems like the fellow inside the coffin is about to climb out!" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately exclaimed in shock.
"So, youngster, have you made your decision?
It seems Brother Jian is about to emerge from his coffin."
Ye Yunfei suddenly received a Sound Transmission, the voice of the old man from earlier.
"Senior, I agree," Ye Yunfei said through gritted teeth.
In this situation, Ye Yunfei knew he truly had no other choice. He absolutely couldn't remain trapped in this grave.
"Excellent, youngster. Sufficiently decisive. That's the attitude one should have for grand ventures. Then let's discuss the details." The old man suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei, patted his shoulder with a smile, looking extremely enthusiastic.
Then, the old man stomped his foot. Torrents of Earth Qi Energy surged from all directions, forming a large Earth Formation.
"Youngster, although you have cultivated Geomancy Technique, your current level isn't very high. With your present skill, you can't help me. So, first, I must help you improve your Geomancy Technique," the old man said to Ye Yunfei.
"Many thanks, Senior," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but rejoice upon hearing this.
Of course, it would be wonderful if he could improve his Geomancy Technique.
In the time that followed, the old man indeed began instructing Ye Yunfei in cultivating Geomancy Technique.
"Youngster, it seems you truly explored and cultivated your Geomancy Technique on your own.
Although you've practiced quite well, it's not systematic. Moreover, your foundation in certain aspects is relatively weak, your understanding isn't profound enough, and there are even some deviations in your cultivation path.
But with me here, these are no issue at all. Given your talent and comprehension, combined with my guidance, these can be corrected and improved in a short time," the old man told Ye Yunfei after thoroughly understanding his current level of Geomancy Technique.
"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior," Ye Yunfei said gratefully.
"Chen, just how much longer are you going to stay in my grave?"
Just as the old man was guiding Ye Yunfei's cultivation, a voice filled with suppressed anger came from within the white coffin.
"Brother Jian, what kind of attitude is this?
At least we were acquainted in the past. Now I'm just resting here for a while. Are you in such a hurry to chase me away?" the old man retorted unhappily.
"Chen, who doesn't know about your despicableness, specializing in excavating other people's graves and stealing from the dead?
Now you've stayed in my grave for so long, you definitely have ill intentions.
Hurry up and leave. Your presence here disturbs my peace.
If you still remember that we were acquainted once, then don't disturb my tranquility," the voice from the white coffin said irritably.
"Brother Jian, when you were alive before, you were righteous and generous, fond of charity. I never imagined you'd become so miserly and petty after dying. You've changed.
I'll leave when it's time to leave. What's the hurry?
Brother Jian, don't think I don't know. With your strength, you simply couldn't have barged into Burial God Island to be buried. You definitely must have used some shady means to sneak in.
Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the Island Guardian?!" the old man replied, his later words carrying a clear threat.
The voice from the coffin snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Because he knew this old man had an extremely thick skin and often refused to reason properly.
More importantly, this old man's strength was terrifying, and he was a master of Geomancy Technique.
Even when he was alive before, he wasn't a match. Now that he was dead, he stood no chance at all. Therefore, he could only grumble to express his displeasure, not daring to come out and make a move.
In the following period, the old man continued guiding Ye Yunfei in cultivating Geomancy Technique.
Under the old man's patient guidance, Ye Yunfei's Geomancy Technique level rapidly improved. He also cultivated several new secret geomancy techniques, each possessing significant power.
No one knew how much time passed.
"Youngster, as I expected, you haven't disappointed me.
Your talent and comprehension have lived up to my expectations. Now you can somewhat lend me a hand. So next, let's begin our grand venture," the old man suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"Many thanks for the great kindness of imparting these techniques, Senior," Ye Yunfei said gratefully.
During this period, under the old man's guidance, Ye Yunfei's Geomancy Technique had achieved a significant qualitative improvement.
"Alright, youngster. Now I will tell you about the geographical layout of this Burial God Island.
Listen carefully. Only by deeply understanding the island's topography can one better utilize its terrain and features.
This island buries the remains of many powerful beings. Each one is troublesome. They are numerous and formidable—no, it should be said the *corpses* are numerous and formidable. Once a fight breaks out, the two of us would be at a severe disadvantage.
Therefore, we must fully utilize the island's unique terrain features to have a chance at achieving our grand undertaking," the old man told Ye Yunfei.
Next, the old man detailed the various terrains and geographical features of Burial God Island, providing thorough explanations.
Ye Yunfei possessed two Soul Bodies and dozens of Soul Power stars. His understanding and comprehension abilities were incomparable to ordinary beings.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei had already gained a thorough understanding of the island's various terrains and features, which greatly satisfied the old man.
"Alright, youngster. It seems you have a good grasp of the island's various features. Next, we need to use Geomancy Technique to set up some arrangements on this island. After these preparations are complete, we can officially begin," the old man said.
"Set up arrangements on the island?
But what if those powerful beings discover us?
Senior, given my strength, I'm afraid the slightest movement would be detected," Ye Yunfei said, taken aback by the old man's words.
"Don't worry. With me here, it's not so easy to be discovered. I've already made preparations long ago, as I've encountered similar situations far too many times in the past. I can handle it with ease," the old man said with a laugh.
"It seems this senior really has excavated many graves in the past," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly upon hearing this.
"Take this stone. It can thoroughly conceal your aura and form.
Didn't I teach you a geomancy movement technique called Hidden Stone Method? When you perform the Hidden Stone Method and fuse with this yellow stone, those fellows won't be able to sense your aura or form.
Moreover, the richer the Earth Qi Energy in an area, the better the concealment effect of this yellow stone."
The old man took out a pale yellow stone covered in mud and handed it to Ye Yunfei. The stone looked quite ordinary, oval in shape.
Ye Yunfei used his Soul Force Energy to sense it but couldn't distinguish any difference between this stone and ordinary ones.
"Does this stone have such good concealment effects?
It can prevent all the powerful beings on this island from sensing me?"
Ye Yunfei took the yellow stone semi-doubtfully and couldn't help but ask.
