The black box floated quietly on the energy river, occasionally swaying with the ripples of the water.

The light it gave off was not the brightest, but it was brighter than the box that drifted downstream.

Zhongli Tingzhou drew his sword without hesitation, and the sword light hit the box on the river.

"Tsk, is this guy stupid? He actually went to chop the box directly, not afraid of damaging the treasure in the box."

This is what people who saw this scene thought in their hearts.

It turns out that there is no need to worry about the quality of Energy River's box materials.

The sword light fell on the box and knocked it away in an instant. Gao Han took the opportunity to put the box flying in the air into his pocket.

The two of them worked together and easily fished out a box.

There was no sword mark on the box, only a tiny white mark, and after a while, the white mark disappeared.

These boxes seem to be made of a very special material.

"Let's see what it is." Zhongli Tingzhou said as he put away his sword.

Gao Han touched the edge of the box. There was no lock and it could be opened easily.

The others immediately craned their necks to see what was in the box.

Gao Han turned the box away from them, took a quick look, and immediately covered the box to prevent them from seeing what was inside.

"Let's go, let's keep moving forward."

Feng Xinxing and the others did not ask what was in the box. They would know when they looked at it themselves. Even if they saw it, it was not theirs, so there was no need to worry about it.

However, Gao Han's hiding also stimulated the people behind him. They thought that Gao Han must have obtained something good and did not dare to let them see it.

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou continued to move upwards, but at this point it was almost impossible to move forward.

Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from behind.

A hurricane blew over, creating ripples in the space.

Everyone turned back immediately and found that the Heavenly Palace had been captured by wandering souls.

A large number of wandering souls poured out from the Heavenly Palace and rushed over.

A moment later, more than a dozen powerful auras suddenly rushed out from behind the wandering soul and soared directly into the sky.

Their figures became more solid, and the sense of oppression felt from them was so strong that people could not muster the slightest desire to resist.

There is a qualitative difference between the powerful wandering soul in the fusion stage and that in the spirit transformation stage.

If a person in the Out-of-Body Stage can defeat a wandering soul in the Spirit Transformation Stage by crossing levels, then the possibility of a person in the Spirit Transformation Stage defeating a person in the Fusion Stage is less than one percent.

"Oh no, these wandering souls are coming!" Everyone's face changed, especially the monks in the back, who were so scared that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly sped up, preparing to overtake the people in front.

The people in front will not stay where they are and wait for them to overtake, but will rush forward to swim forward.

“These wandering souls came so quickly, I wonder if they will be affected by the Xianquan space.” The geniuses from various major sects and forces looked solemn.

At this time, the dozen or so powerful wandering souls in the fusion stage finally rushed towards this side like sharp arrows.

However, just as they entered the square, the figures suddenly stopped in the air and their speed became extremely slow.

However, the wandering souls at the out-of-body and incarnation levels are more flexible in movement than them.

"No, why are the speeds of these wandering souls in the fusion stage much slower than ours?" Some cultivators found something wrong.

"So that's how it is." Jiao Yan understood.

"What does that mean?" Yu Zilang asked.

"The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the gravitational pressure that people or wandering souls will experience when they enter the square. Therefore, the speed of these wandering souls in the Fusion Stage is not as fast as those in the Spiritualization Stage and the Out-of-Body Stage. Look carefully, the speed of the wandering souls in the Out-of-Body Stage is even faster than that of the wandering souls in the Spiritualization Stage."

After Jiao Yan finished his explanation, everyone looked at it carefully for a while and found that it was indeed the case.

“No wonder our two great-grand-master uncles were able to leave us behind.” Yu Zilang suddenly realized.

"Yes, that explains it." Lei Xinyue also responded.

The cultivation base of both of them is at the Out-of-Body Stage, but they also possess the strength of the Spirit Transformation Stage. However, they do not know the gravity pressure in the square, so the pressure they bear is not as great as theirs.

This is one of the reasons why Wen Hongru couldn't catch up with them even if he tried his best.

Wen Hongru heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that he was not inferior to others in strength.

At least it shows that he couldn't catch up with them, not because he was inferior to them, but because the pressure he was under was stronger at that time.

"However, they have already entered the square. It won't be long before they can cross the square. If they reach the fusion stage, we will all be doomed."

Everyone felt like a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts, but they were unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.

"Now we can only take one step at a time. Let's grab more boxes before they arrive!" Qi Shijie shouted and rushed out first.

Of course, the so-called rush is just a little faster than walking.

The others were also 'encouraged' and immediately started sprinting, ignoring the group of wandering souls in the square that were walking so slowly that they looked like they were taking a walk and were staring at them with fiery eyes.

In order to make better use of their time, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou did not try to catch those with weaker light.

After seeing what was in the box, they put the ones with the faintest light at the end, because what was in the box was just an advanced martial arts technique.

They no longer lack advanced skills, what they lack is materials.

Soon, they finally arrived upstream.

After crossing the horizontal line that blocked their view, they finally saw the situation at the top of the energy river.

It looks like an endless ocean with rolling waves, and a glowing box floats in it, swaying and moving with the waves.

It turns out that what they saw was just a drop in the bucket.

"The so-called energy river is actually a lake like the sea..." Gao Han said in disbelief.

It would take many years to condense such a large amount of fairy spring.

"Let's go!" Zhongli Tingzhou took the lead and moved towards the nearest box.

The people behind came up one after another. Seeing so many boxes floating on the water, they went crazy and rushed over without wanting to be left behind.

A monk looked at the box in front of him with surprise and immediately stretched out his hand.

I didn’t expect that the upstream boxes would be so easy to get. It’s much better than downstream.

When everyone was overjoyed, something strange happened.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the box, the box was suddenly carried away by a strong current of water and washed away to a farther place in an instant.

The same thing happened to other people, including Zhongli Tingzhou, who only had time to grab the edge of the box but was still broken free.

As more and more people came up, the boxes were no longer floating quietly on the water. It was as if there was a cold current. All the boxes flew up along the cold current, spinning in circles in the air and nimbly avoiding everyone's hands.

"It's not that easy after all. And it seems that the boxes in the middle and upper reaches are easier to grab than those here." Gao Han said thoughtfully.

"I don't believe that I can't catch a single box." Zhongli Tingzhou was unhappy.

These bastard boxes wanted to go against him, which further aroused his competitive spirit.

"Be careful. There's no need to pick out the boxes that shine the brightest." Gao Han was afraid that something might happen to him.

The brighter the light of the box in the cold current, the faster it flows, so fast that only afterimages can be seen, which is difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Zhongli Tingzhou stared intently at the rapidly flowing box, and when a very bright light flew past him, he took action instantly.

This time, his hand firmly grasped the box shrouded in the aperture.

The body half submerged in the water was carried out by the power of the box itself.

Zhongli Tingzhou instantly felt the resistance of space pressing him downward, as well as the box that was buzzing and shaking, trying desperately to break free from his hand, and sneered.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

There is resistance in space, right? Then he uses this resistance to help himself grab the box.

Gao Han was so worried that he didn't even bother to grab the box. He just stared at Zhongli Tingzhou who was being carried into the air.

"No, forget it!" he shouted.

"No!" Zhongli Tingzhou acted without hesitation. He attacked another box in the air. Using the impact force after the explosion of power, he grabbed the box that had lost its resistance and dropped it from the air.

Due to the resistance, the falling speed is faster than usual.

Zhongli Tingzhou failed to stabilize his body and fell straight into the energy river.

The suction force at the bottom of the energy river instantly sucked his entire body and dragged him down.

Zhongli Tingzhou struck out with his palm, but the residual power of the palm wind and the energy river only temporarily slowed down his sinking speed.

At this moment, a hand grabbed one of his arms and pulled him up with all his strength.

Under the worried gaze of everyone in Zixiao Sect, the two men emerged from the river.

"I was so scared. I thought they were going to sink to the bottom of the river." Yuan Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

He had felt the suction at the bottom of the river, and in order to study how deep they could sink before the suction at the bottom of the river exceeded their tolerance, they gave it a try.

It was discovered that as long as the distance exceeded one meter, the suction force would increase exponentially.

If it doesn't exceed one meter, it can basically still resist.

Just now, Master Uncle Zhongli fell from a great height, instantly exceeding one meter, which almost scared him to death.

With Zhongli Tingzhou as a precedent, no one else dared to do the same as him.

The people who were originally staring at the boxes with the brightest light could only look away with regret. Before they could think of a solution, they could only start with the other boxes.

"Are you crazy or what? I told you to be careful!" Gao Han shuddered at the thought of how he was almost dragged to the bottom of the river and could never get out.

This was the first time he had such a strong feeling. He had always thought that his emotions were quite cold.

After being scolded, Zhongli Tingzhou directly absorbed the energy water on his face into his body, grinned, and handed the box that had lost its glow to him.

"See if this is the Phoenix Feather you are looking for."

Gao Han's anger immediately disappeared, and he said helplessly: "Don't do this again next time. At least notify me first, and we can discuss it before taking action."

"I know, take a look!" Zhongli Tingzhou urged.

Gao Han took a look through the gap and put it away.
