Looking at the four aptitudes on the panel, Chi Yuan sighed at the power of the system. During his three years of cultivation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he went from zero to the first level of the Spirit King. His aptitudes increased by an average of five or six hundred points along with his cultivation.
However, after arriving in Jingyang City, his aptitude increased by an average of two thousand points in just over a month. Now, his four aptitudes have probably reached the level of a low-level Spirit Master, or even higher.
Having aptitude attributes far exceeding his own level means that Chi Yuan will have a smooth path before reaching the Sect Master level, without encountering any bottlenecks!
Furthermore, Chi Yuan has already obtained the fourth and fifth levels of the subsequent techniques of the Burning Heaven Refining Void Technique. From now on, Chi Yuan only needs to cultivate steadily and surely, and his cultivation level will improve rapidly.
Not wanting to think about cultivation for the time being, Chi Yuan focused his attention on the SSS-level "Xingzi Secret" in the special section.
"The Secret of Travel": A secret method for increasing speed. The deeper one's understanding, the greater the increase. When mastered, it allows one to ignore spatial distance and instantly reach any location in the universe.
...
To instantly reach any location in the universe?
Upon seeing the introduction to the Xingzi Secret Technique, Chi Yuan's pupils constricted involuntarily. He had guessed that this secret technique was very powerful, but he had not expected it to be so incredibly powerful, which was beyond his understanding of secret techniques.
After trying to cultivate it, Chi Yuan discovered that the difficulty of cultivating this secret technique far exceeded his expectations. Even with his comprehension of over 3,600 points, he could only barely grasp a little bit of it.
However, this superficial knowledge should not be underestimated. Chi Yuan estimated that if he could master this superficial knowledge, with the terrifying boost brought by his more than 3,000 potential points, his speed would reach the level of the Spirit Sect when he unleashed his full power!
“Cultivating this method truly depletes the power of the soul; let’s recover our soul state first.”
Chi Yuan swallowed a Soul-Replenishing Pill, sat cross-legged on the jade platform, and began to recover his spiritual state.
Two hours later.
Chi Yuan's soul had recovered to its peak, and he felt refreshed and invigorated, without any discomfort whatsoever.
Seeing that An Yuxi had not yet returned, Chi Yuan closed his eyes and concentrated, and began practicing the Xingzi Secret again.
Whoosh!
Chi Yuan had only been cultivating for a short time when he saw ripples spread across the array barrier at the entrance of the cave, followed by a gap appearing. A somewhat disheveled but beautiful figure flew in and staggered as she landed inside the cave.
At this moment, An Yuxi's plain dress was stained with blood in many places, and blood was also seeping from the corner of her mouth. Her complexion looked extremely pale and weak.
"Senior An, what's wrong?"
Upon seeing this, Chi Yuan quickly got up and stepped forward to ask.
An Yuxi shook her head without speaking, quickly setting up several layers of protective barriers to cover the entire cave. Only then did she relax slightly, collapsing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of bloody liquid.
"Senior An, what exactly happened? Who hurt you?"
Chi Yuan asked with a serious expression, "This place is located on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, where there are almost no demonic beasts that can rival a Spirit Sect expert. How could An Yuxi, with her Spirit Sect level cultivation, be seriously injured in this area? Could she have gone deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains?"
"They are three peak-stage transformed demons..."
An Yuxi responded weakly, a hint of confusion on her pale face, "It's really strange. I was just looking for spiritual herbs on the outskirts and didn't venture deep into the area where the transformed demon beasts were active, yet I suddenly encountered three peak-stage transformed demons... I had no intention of provoking them, but they set their sights on my body and cultivation, wanting to devour me, so I fought them..."
What? Three peak-stage transformed demons?
Chi Yuan's expression changed drastically. This was a powerful being who could rival the peak of the human race's Spirit Sect. He no longer possessed the cultivation of a Spirit Venerable. If he were to be besieged by these three great demons, even with the Xingzi Secret Technique, he would probably find it difficult to escape alive.
"Don't worry, I used a secret technique to conceal my aura when I fled, so they can't find this place for the time being. I have already sent a distress signal to my sect. We just need to hide here for a while, and once my sect comes to our aid, we will be safe."
An Yuxi comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan felt a slight sense of relief, but also a secret sense of shame. The appearance of those three peak-stage transformed demons in the outer area was most likely due to their escape to the outer area during his battle with the Blood Demon Ancestor. To a certain extent, it was he who caused An Yuxi to suffer this undeserved disaster.
"Senior An, please recover first..."
Just as Chi Yuan was about to let An Yuxi recover from her injuries, the cave suddenly trembled violently, followed by a gruff and arrogant voice: "You little wench, do you think you can escape from under my nose? Get out here!"
"How is this possible?! I clearly concealed my presence..."
An Yuxi's face turned deathly pale. Her spiritual power was almost exhausted in the previous battle, and she was now seriously injured. If the enemy broke through the formation, she and Chi Yuan would probably die before their sect could come to their aid.
"Senior An, didn't you reveal your sect and background to intimidate them?"
Chi Yuan said with a solemn expression.
"I reported it, but they wouldn't listen at all..."
An Yuxi replied with a wry smile, then said to Chi Yuan in a deep voice, "Fufeng, this formation won't last long. After the formation breaks, I'll go out and lure them away. You should escape quickly after they leave. They're after me, not you, a Spirit King."
Chi Yuan frowned and looked at An Yuxi, asking, "If you lure them away, can you protect yourself?"
Upon hearing this question, An Yuxi opened her mouth slightly but could not make a sound. She had very little spiritual power left, and the enemy had the advantage in both strength and numbers. Going there would be a certain death, so how could she protect herself?
Seeing An Yuxi's reaction, Chi Yuan knew the answer immediately. He abandoned the idea of running away alone. "If I can't protect myself, then I can't abandon you. If we have to leave, we'll leave together!"
"Are you crazy! Don't you want to live? If we split up, one of us can still survive, but if we go together, neither of us will survive!"
An Yuxi said loudly, somewhat angrily.
"You saved my life. If you hadn't let me hide in your cave, I would have been devoured by the monsters outside, leaving not even bones behind, given my condition at the time. Now that I'm in such a crisis, how could I let you risk your life to protect me while I struggle to survive on my own?"
Chi Yuan was very clear-headed. Not to mention that An Yuxi had suffered an undeserved disaster because of him, just because An Yuxi saved him, he couldn't just watch her die. After all, he wasn't without the ability to escape. Even if there was only a sliver of a chance to escape, he had no reason to abandon An Yuxi.
"Fu Feng, you..."
"Senior An, trust me this once. I may not be able to get you out of here, but I'm confident I can hold out until our sect's reinforcements arrive!"
Chi Yuan said, enunciating each word clearly.
