Looking at Bai Manman and Xuan Che's figures on the deck, Gu Yifeng couldn't help but shake his head, feeling quite sentimental. He thought it was wonderful to be young, unaware that his own age was only about the same as theirs.
Before the two could react, he calmly returned to the helm, sat down cross-legged, summoned his two guardian avatars, and then calmed his mind to begin his cultivation.
The journey to Vermilion Bird Mountain will take another month. Compared to the previous three secret realms, the journey from White Tiger Cave to Vermilion Bird Mountain is much longer, which is a good opportunity to cultivate spatial power.
Gu Yifeng closed his eyes and let his mind wander to his surroundings, beginning to feel the flowing spatial power around him. A gentle breeze blew by, which was proof of the existence of space.
According to the Blue Star's thinking, the essence of space is that points form lines, lines form surfaces, and surfaces are connected to form a volume, thus creating a space.
Upon realizing this, Gu Yifeng's body was suddenly flashed with silver light, inspiration surged forth, he suddenly opened his eyes, pointed out a finger, and the space in front of him immediately began to rotate, continuously decompressing until a vortex finally appeared.
The next moment, he pointed a finger at Xuan Che's head, causing his head to collide with Bai Manman's. The two of them met face to face and instantly blushed.
"Ahem, sorry, I was trying to comprehend the use of spatial power, I didn't see anything."
Gu Yifeng deliberately coughed lightly, then chuckled maliciously, turned and walked into the cabin, leaving the deck to the newlyweds.
He has now gained a basic grasp of spatial power, and can at least perform simple spatial teleportation as before to defend against the enemy's spatial power.
However, as a cultivator in the Taixu Realm, his spatial abilities would not be limited to such a simple level. There is no other Taixu Realm cultivator on the continent like Gu Yifeng, who is only twenty years old.
Even among the major powers, the younger generation is nurtured with abundant resources and numerous secret realms, and they are at least twenty-five years old.
"System, I've checked in."
Gu Yifeng shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and immediately activated the system to start today's check-in.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully checking in. You have received a reward: Void Silver Grass."
A system voice sounded, and a palm-sized blade of grass appeared in the right hand. The Eye of Concealment activated automatically, and information about the grass appeared before the eyes.
"Void Silver Grass: A seventh-grade medicinal herb that mainly grows in places with abundant spatial power. It contains pure spatial power and can be directly ingested to enhance one's understanding and mastery of spatial power. There is a very small probability that one can directly comprehend the laws of space."
"It can be used as the main ingredient for the seventh-grade pill, the Void Refining Pill. The pill's effects are comparable to ten Void Silver Grasses, and there is a chance to comprehend the laws of space."
Looking at this information, Gu Yifeng immediately fell into deep thought, flipping through the pages of the encyclopedia in his mind. After about an hour, he finally found a pill formula, which contained the rare and precious materials needed to refine the Void Refining Pill.
Apart from the main ingredient, the Void Silver Grass, all the other medicinal herbs were also sixth-grade treasures. Unfortunately, the system only provided a portion of the rare and precious materials. He interrupted Xuan Che and Bai Manman's sweet talk without hesitation.
"Alchemy? Well... these medicinal herbs are not easy to find. Many of them are priceless and unavailable. It depends on whether Qinglong Island has any in stock."
Xuan Che shook his head, expressing his helplessness regarding the pill formula given by Gu Yifeng. Bai Manman rummaged through her spatial ring for a long time and found two more medicinal herbs needed for the pill formula.
Gu Yifeng had no choice but to give up and put all the medicinal herbs into the ring where he stored the Breath Soil to nurture them. He would start refining the herbs once he had collected them all.
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye. During the journey, Gu Yifeng spent his days comprehending and cultivating the power of the space. He has now reached the point of mastering it and can perform small-scale spatial teleportation.
Xuan Che and Bai Manman took longer to break through to the Tai Xu Realm, and they would occasionally offer some pointers.
Passing through the sea of clouds, a massive volcano appeared before the three of them. The volcanic clouds rising high in the sky and the flowing lava on the mountain all demonstrated the terror of this place.
The power of an active volcano is unlike any other natural or man-made disaster. Once engulfed by lava, even a peak-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would be burned alive without any protective treasures. Even a Void Realm cultivator would be swallowed by lava if they did not instantly use their spatial power to escape.
Not to mention that this volcano belongs to the Vermilion Bird clan, and the fire power it contains is enough to burn everything.
When they were still several miles away from the volcano, Gu Yifeng put away the Wuji Immortal Boat. With the Wuji Immortal Boat's defenses, it would be difficult to withstand the high temperature of Zhuque Mountain, so it was better to put it away in advance.
The three then rode the wind and arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Before they even got close to the huge volcano, several flames shot out from their side.
Fire lines crisscrossed, forming a net that hurtled towards Gu Yifeng and his two companions. Before Gu Yifeng could even make a move, Xuan Che calmly attacked, forming hand seals and unleashing the Xuanwu Clan's technique. Instantly, a column of water shot out from the ground.
"Mysterious Water Technique, Condense!"
Xuan Che let out a soft shout, and the water column burst forth in the direction from which the attack came. The water and fire collided and instantly turned into a thick white mist that obscured everyone's vision.
However, this was exactly what Xuan Che wanted. Taking advantage of the buffer time when the water column was launched, the endless water vapor in the white mist condensed into ice, and then shot out in all directions.
A moment later, a series of wails rang out. Xuan Che waved his sleeve, and the water column rolled back, sweeping over seven or eight young men with red hair and brown hair.
These people were all shirtless, with a layer of red patterns engraved all over their bodies, making them look quite strange. At this moment, they were all frozen in ice and unable to move. The only special thing about them was their eyes.
Their pupils were obscured; only a purple flame flickered within their eyes, as if they had gone mad, constantly eroding their sanity.
"This is a 'wicked fire constitution' created by the clash between true fire and bloodline, which cannot be fully controlled."
Gu Yifeng narrowed his eyes and looked at these young people who were only at the Concentration Realm. He recognized their current state at a glance.
“Young Master is right. Since the departure of the Vermilion Bird Saint Venerable, the Vermilion Bird Clan has suffered a great change. The true fire within the clan members went out of control and was impacted, turning into evil fire. The Vermilion Bird Clan of that time is now called the Evil Fire Vermilion Bird.”
"We just didn't expect to arrive at such an inopportune time, coinciding with the day when the Vermilion Bird Clan's evil fire flares up. It's surprising that even the Vermilion Bird Sacred Mark couldn't suppress the evil fire. This journey will probably not be easy."
Xuan Che sighed, recognizing the origin of the patterns engraved on these people's bodies.
"The Vermilion Bird Sacred Mark?"
Gu Yifeng asked in confusion.
"This is the first time I've seen it either. My grandfather told me about it. It is said that this was left by the Vermilion Bird Saint Venerable for the Vermilion Bird Clan during one of his manifestations. After the sacred runes are engraved, they can increase the speed of cultivation and suppress the true fire in the body so that one can interact with ordinary people."
Xuanche explained.
