The reason why Fang Chen dared to charge into the crack in the ground was because he had carefully analyzed the situation. The remaining member of the Yellow Springs Sect hidden under the illusion array was definitely heavily injured and unable to move. Otherwise, he would not have been able to destroy the array so recklessly.
Now, he had joined forces with Xiahou Wu and even destroyed the control of the array. The fact that this hidden Yellow Spring Sect survivor still hadn't appeared meant that he was too heavily injured.
After sensing Xiahou Wu's situation, Fang Chen directly drilled into the ground.
After Fang Chen drilled into the crack, Xiahou Wu endured his headache and also drilled into the ground.
Huala
Below the crack was an extremely large palace. It looked like a tomb. At the very front of the palace was a skinny figure. This figure exuded the terrifying aura of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"Yellow Spring Sect survivor!"
Fang Chen's eyes flashed when he saw this Yellow Spring Sect survivor.
Just as the two of them entered the underground palace, the remnant of the Yellow Springs Sect suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, a blinding light shot out.
At the same time, Xiahou Wu finally couldn't endure the bloodthirst in his blood. With a furious roar, he clenched his fists and fiercely punched the wall beside him.
"Fang Chen, quickly kill him. I can't control it!" Xiahou Wu's eyes were scarlet as he roared furiously.
Seeing this, Fang Chen grasped the Hidden Star Sword and took a step forward, appearing directly in front of the Yellow Spring Sect survivor. With a crack, the sword pierced through the Yellow Spring Sect survivor's head.
"The Yellow Spring Sect won't let you go."
The surviving member of the Yellow Springs Sect uttered these words hysterically before dying.
The instant the Yellow Spring Sect survivor died, Xiahou Wu returned to normal. The bloodthirsty killing intent in his blood was also under control.
"Fang Chen, thank you." Xiahou Wu clasped his hands towards Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded. He looked around him and frowned. "It seems that this is not the only survivor of the Yellow Spring Sect in the Divine Illusion Space."
"After that intense battle, many of the survivors of the Yellow Springs Sect hid in the Divine Illusion Space to recover."
Xiahou Wu said. "Others might not be able to find the remnants of the Yellow Springs Sect, but I can. I can sense the aura of the Yellow Springs Sect within a hundred kilometers of me. However …"
"But what?" Fang Chen asked.
"Have you thought about it? What if we find a Yellow Springs Sect survivor that's stronger than the two of us?" Xiahou Wu asked fearfully.
Fang Chen was startled and fell into silence.
They didn't know how many members of the Yellow Springs Sect were hiding in the Divine Illusion Space. If they ran into the captain and the Hall Master, it would be fine. But if they ran into the Enforcers who had recovered from their injuries, they wouldn't be able to stop them.
"However, there's no need to be so pessimistic. According to my guess, those powerful Enforcers had even more severe injuries back then. Some were even on the verge of death. They won't be able to recover in a short time." Xiahou Wu nodded.
Looking around, Fang Chen prepared to leave with Xiahou Wu.
But at this time, Xiahou Wu waved his hand to indicate for Fang Chen to stop. He then walked straight to where the Yellow Springs Sect survivors had been.
Bang!
Xia Houwu activated all the power in his body and gathered it on his fist. Then, he fiercely punched the wall in front of him.
Crack!
The wall was unable to endure Xiahou Wu's full strength attack and loudly shattered.
After the wall shattered, Xiahou Wu discovered that there were some thumb-sized yellow stones within the wall.
When he saw these yellow stones, a faint smile appeared on Xiahou Wu's face.
"This is a Spirit Embryo."
Xiahou Wu's actions were very strange. Fang Chen turned his head to look at the wall that Xiahou Wu had destroyed. When he turned around, his gaze instantly turned wooden.
That was because he saw that there were many thumb-sized yellow stones within the wall. These stones contained boundless spiritual qi.
"Correct. The reason the survivors of the Yellow Springs Sect are recovering here is because of these Spirit Embryos," said Xiahou Wu.
Spirit Embryos were legendary treasures. It was said that when a martial artist absorbed a Spirit Embryo, they would be able to refine their own spiritual qi and make it even purer.
Fang Chen naturally knew what pure spiritual qi represented. In the same realm, if your spiritual qi was purer than your opponent's, then your strength would be much greater.
Although a Spirit Embryo was unable to increase a martial artist's cultivation base, it was able to purify spiritual qi.
"There are Spirit Embryos within this wall."
Fang Chen revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and said with a smile.
Crash!
Xiahou Wu completely destroyed the wall. Instantly, a large amount of Spirit Embryos appeared in front of the two of them. The entire palace was filled with dense spiritual qi.
"Many of the Spirit Embryos here have been absorbed by the survivors of the Yellow Springs Sect. There are only a few left," said Xiahou Wu.
After a simple count, there were a total of fifty Spirit Embryos within the wall. Looking at these fifty thumb-sized yellow stones, Fang Chen sighed.
"Let's split them," said Xiahou Wu.
Xiahou Wu and Fang Chen split the Spirit Embryos equally.
"Let's refine them here," said Fang Chen.
After obtaining twenty-five Spirit Embryos, Fang Chen sat down cross-legged and began to refine them.
Slightly closing his eyes, Fang Chen placed a thumb-sized Spirit Embryo into his mouth. The Spirit Embryo immediately flowed down his throat and entered his Dantian Qi Sea.
When the Spirit Embryo entered his Dantian Qi Sea, the liquefied spiritual qi within his Dantian Qi Sea began to wildly revolve.
At this moment, the Spirit Embryo was constantly emitting a wild spiritual qi. This spiritual qi quickly merged with the liquefied spiritual qi.
Three minutes later, the first Spirit Embryo was completely refined. Fang Chen discovered that the liquefied spiritual qi within his Dantian Qi Sea seemed to be a little purer, but it was not too obvious.
"Continue."
Fang Chen continued to refine the Spirit Embryos. Compared to Fang Chen, Xiahou Wu's refining speed was much faster.
In an hour, Xiahou Wu had completely refined twenty-five Spirit Embryos. At this time, the aura around his body had become much stronger.
In his Dantian Qi Sea, the liquefied spiritual qi had become incomparably pure. This caused his strength to rise once again.
"If there are enough Spirit Embryos, my strength can still increase," Xiahou Wu said in a low voice.
After Xiahou Wu finished refining the Spirit Embryos, he turned his head to look at Fang Chen. He discovered that Fang Chen was still refining. His refining speed was a little slow.
Xiahou Wu waited for six hours before Fang Chen finished refining all the Spirit Embryos.
Huala
The moment Fang Chen opened his eyes, he discovered that the liquefied spiritual qi within his Dantian Qi Sea had become incomparably pure.
"As expected of Spirit Embryos, the spiritual qi has been purified to such an extent." Fang Chen was extremely excited.
After absorbing so many Spirit Embryos, Fang Chen's spiritual qi had become incomparably pure. Fang Chen was very confident that if he had more Spirit Embryos, he would be able to break through to the sixth level of the Qi Hai Realm.
If he could break through to the sixth level of the Qi Hai Realm, Fang Chen's strength would be able to easily crush an early stage Qi Hai Realm martial artist. He would even be able to face a mid stage Qi Hai Realm martial artist without fear.
Unfortunately, there were no more Spirit Embryos.
"Let's go, let's leave this place," Fang Chen said.
Xiahou Wu nodded. The two of them left the palace and appeared in the middle of the valley.
Only now did Fang Chen have the time to observe the valley. Previously, there was an illusory formation and the valley was filled with a grey aura. He could not see anything clearly.
Looking at it now, the valley was filled with beautiful scenery. It was a pity that there was a remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect hidden here.
Fang Chen looked around and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, Xiahou Wu squinted his eyes and stopped in his tracks.
"I feel the presence of the Yellow Spring Sect," Xiahou Wu said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Fang Chen was shocked. He immediately asked, "Are there other remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect?"
"Although he hid it well, I still felt a trace of his presence," Xiahou Wu said coldly.
Then, Xiahou Wu closed his eyes and carefully sensed the weak aura of the Yellow Springs Sect. Fang Chen followed behind Xiahou Wu.
Unknowingly, the two of them had entered the depths of the valley. Fang Chen discovered that this was the edge of the illusory formation from before.
"It's here."
Xiahou Wu's eyes were scarlet red.
Following Xiahou Wu's gaze, Fang Chen discovered that the place Xiahou Wu was pointing at was only a stone. There was nothing else.
"Under the stone," Xiahou Wu said.
Crash!
The Hidden Star Sword was unsheathed and the seventh level of the Water and Fire Sword Art was displayed. In an instant, the sword struck the stone. With a cracking sound, the stone shattered.
After the stone shattered, Fang Chen discovered that there was a hidden cave under the stone. If it were not for Xiahou Wu, he would not have been able to discover this cave.
The two of them entered the cave and discovered two figures. What surprised them was that these two figures were exactly the same. It was just that one of them had a weaker presence.
"This is the reconstruction of a true body," Xiahou Wu said in a low voice.
Because he had absorbed the Blood Essence of the Yellow Spring Sect's protector, he had a certain understanding of the Yellow Spring Sect. Therefore, he discovered the situation in the cave at first glance.
"Reconstruction of a true body?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
"Within the Yellow Spring Sect, there is an extremely tyrannical cultivation technique. This cultivation technique can allow a cultivator to reconstruct their true body. Once they reconstruct their true body, it will be exactly the same as them. Most importantly, the original body will be injured, but after the reconstruction, the true body will be fine," explained Xiahou Wu.
Fang Chen was startled. If this remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect was allowed to reconstruct his true body, the consequences would be unthinkable.
As he spoke, Fang Chen prepared to attack.
"Attack the true body first," said Xiahou Wu.
The Hidden Star Sword in Fang Chen's hand suddenly pierced towards one of the figures. With a 'puchi' sound, the Hidden Star Sword pierced into the figure's body.
"AHH!"
A miserable cry came from the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect. His eyes slowly opened, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
"NO!"
Just as the reconstruction of his true body was about to succeed, he was discovered by a human. The moment he reconstructed his true body was when he was at his weakest.
"NO!"
This remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect was filled with unwillingness.
Crack!
Fang Chen pulled out the Hidden Star Sword, and the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect died.
