Under the urging of Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu, Ye Xiong had to hand over the Ethereal Crystals begrudgingly.
It was a pile of bright silver Ethereal Crystals with many small slits. Vaguely, space power could be seen moving inside. Each Ethereal Crystal was as big as a fist, with the shape of a rhombus or a cone.
"The Ethereal Crystal is an essential material to build the Teleportation Formation. When you pour energy into it, you can use space power," Ye Xiong said with a painful face. Ye Xiong's face was painful. "I got these Ethereal Crystals from a dilapidated Teleportation Formation in an ancient site. If you don't know how to use them, you should exchange them with something else."
Shi Yan laughed, putting away the Ethereal Crystals. He glared at Ye Xiong, "You don't need to worry about it."
He didn't check the Ethereal Crystals because he knew Ye Xiong wouldn't deceive him at this moment. He could feel the feeble space power in those Ethereal Crystals, so he was sure it was real.
"Now that you have the Ethereal Crystals, shouldn't you do something?" Ye Xiong rolled his eyes, urging him coldly.
Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu were shaken, their eyes bright like torches.
The dark area ahead of them had a strange atmosphere. It seemed to hide a big danger. It was an ancient formation, which was extremely dangerous.
Even Ye Xiong didn't dare to intrude. He wanted to retreat, which showed how dangerous this formation was.
Shi Yan took the Ethereal Crystals, nodded and smiled. "Don't worry. I'll bring you guys in safely."
Then, he used his soul to call the Sky-breaking Shuttle.
The Sky-breaking Shuttle roared, floating in front of him. A beam of strange light shot through the dark forbidden area.
It was probing.
Shi Yan wasn't hurried, waiting in silence.
The Sky-breaking Shuttle was a strange treasure that could pierce through barriers. No matter what kind of barrier it was, it couldn't bind it. With this treasure, he dared to ask Ye Zhun to give him the Ethereal Crystals.
Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, and the others had their eyes brightened, looking at the Sky-breaking Shuttle in astonishment.
A strange energy fluctuation came from the shuttle in a spiral shape, entering the dark area ahead of them.
Not long after that, the Sky-breaking Shuttle sent him a message, "By consuming one-fourth of your Profound Qi, you can pass through the forbidden area ahead."
Shi Yan nodded and immediately poured his Profound Qi into the Sky-breaking Shuttle.
The Sky-breaking Shuttle suddenly glowed. A huge beam of light seemed to tear space apart, reaching the depths of the darkness.
Within the pillar of light, circles of energy revolved around it, obstructing the invasion of all kinds of energy, making the inside of the pillar of light extremely safe and unaffected.
Shi Yan was the first to enter. He walked quickly to the inside of the light pillar before turning around and waving at Ye Zhun and the others.
The expressions of Ye Zhun and the others changed slightly.
ShiYan's words weren't false. He really had a way!
As soon as the Sky-breaking Shuttle appeared, it created a light channel with a thick energy barrier, which prevented all kinds of energy from penetrating it. The ancient formation in the forbidden dark area was disrupted.
From within the forbidden dark region, there were unceasing sounds of explosions. There were violent and chaotic collisions of energy, lightning and thunder. It was extremely terrifying.
However, Shi Yan was safe and sound within the path of light. He ignored the chaos inside and walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Let's go!" Zhu Yi let out a low shout, his face happy. "That kid isn't ordinary, indeed. Perhaps, he will have many things to rely on later. Ye-ge, you should have a good relationship with him."
Ye Xiong nodded continually, his mouth full of joy.
Although the Ethereal Crystal was precious, compared to the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, it was much less valuable. If they could get any of them this time, it would be enough to compensate for their current loss.
Yue Ying and Yun Xiu's beautiful eyes sparkled. They quietly assessed Shi Yan, their hearts filled with shock.
It seemed like it was the first time they knew Shi Yan. They were secretly amazed, admiring Shi Yan's marvelous abilities. The Sky-breaking Shuttle's strangeness was beyond their estimation, which made them recognize that Shi Yan had more mysteries.
For the time being, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu couldn't help but praise Yun Mie's keen eyes. He had recruited this young man to join the Radiant God Cult.
"Hurry up!" Shi Yan saw them standing still, his face impatient, urging them one more time. "I need to consume energy to maintain it. Don't linger. If you make me maintain it for a long time, the barriers behind will waste more time. "
As soon as he finished, people didn't dare to hesitate anymore, jumping into the light passage.
The light passage thrust forward like a sharp sword that could open up a new territory. People glided through the light passage, not paying attention to the changes of the barriers around them.
Shortly, a group of people got through the barrier.
In a new graveyard, Ye Zhun exhaled in relief. However, before he could sigh, his face changed again.
In front of them, in the thick mist, murmuring water could be seen. The water wasn't rapid, but it had a strange murderous aura. They could vaguely see the water monsters moving, as if they were waiting for something.
A flow of evil murderous aura diffused from the murmuring water, seeping into people's flesh and bones, which could control people's minds.
Another ominous formation!
Ye Xiong was embarrassed. He forced a smile, looking at Shi Yan.
People who had just gotten out of the forbidden land looked at the area ahead. They shut their mouths tacitly, looking at Shi Yan with hope.
Under their scrutinizing looks, Shi Yan was begrudging. "I got it. I'll handle it."
He used the Sky-breaking Shuttle one more time.
He repeated it several times.
After crossing three barriers, Shi Yan's Essence Qi was drained. He couldn't help but take out some crystals to refill. His face was a little pale.
Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were smiling. They walked over, taking out jade bottles. "Take these pellets. They can help you refill your Essence Qi quickly."
A refreshing fragrance overflowed from the jade bottle. After taking a sniff, ShiYan's face was shaken.
They were all good stuff!
Shi Yan smiled. He didn't try to be polite and collected the jade bottles. Then, he swallowed the pellets with abundant spiritual Qi. With the help of the pellets, he recovered his Essence Qi quickly.
Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were the Elders of the Spirit Treasure Sect. Of course, the pellets they had weren't ordinary.
After swallowing around ten pellets, the Essence Qi in his body surged like a rising tide. The exhausted energy in his body was restored quickly.
Three days later, ShiYan exhaled happily, laughed out loud and said, "Continue!"
After crossing twelve barriers, Shi Yan had consumed a lot of Essence Qi. He had to use the Essence Qi one more time to recover.
Right at this moment, Ye Xiong suddenly stood up. He squinted, looking ahead coldly.
Under the interweaving electric beams, a group of people hid in a corner. They didn't dare to move, as if they were waiting for something.
Above their heads, thunder boomed, and a sea of fire twirled. From time to time, they could see some strange intent domains flash.
After the intent domains, the space in that area had earth-shaking changes. The powers of the Five Elements — Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth — alternated, creating a massive, ominous formation.
This group of people seemed to be trapped, frowning and looking at a young girl.
The young girl closed her eyes. Under the protection of other people, she seemed to sense something in silence. Her brows furrowed as if she had encountered a challenge. She couldn't break the barrier that fast.
"It's them!" Ye Xiong let out a low shout.
Everybody followed Ye Xiong's line of sight, looking at the group of people hiding under the thunder and lightning.
"We came with you this time. We've agreed to help you deal with the Heaven Thunder Beast," Yue Ying said softly. Yue Ying said softly all of a sudden. "Things are different now. I think we should have a good talk."
Ye Xiong turned around, his face dark. "We don't need to talk. I know what you want to say. As long as we reach the Ancient Cave Mansion, we'll divide the things there."
Yue Ying's eyes brightened. She smiled and nodded. "That's good."
Yun Xiu also smiled, nodding discreetly. She was satisfied with Ye Xiong's answer.
After knowing the existence of the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, they didn't care about the benefits that Ye Zhun had promised them.
This time, the hotshots of the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple had appeared earlier, which meant that they would have a conflict with them in the next part of the journey.
If it were only the previous benefits, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu would refuse. They wouldn't risk their lives for Ye Xiong. However, with the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, it was enough.
Birds die for food, and people die for wealth. With enough temptation, they could risk their lives!
The group of people in that area didn't seem to see them, as they didn't dare to move in the forbidden land. They looked around, but they didn't see them.
Ye Xiong was watching them with cold eyes. He sneered continually, but he felt lucky in his heart.
It was lucky that they had Shi Yan with them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to reach this place, and they wouldn't have seen the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
ShiYan's appearance had made the situation less frightening. He could easily pierce through the barriers one by one, which was simply unimaginable.
Ye Xiong couldn't help but look at Shi Yan, who was closing his eyes to adjust his breathing. His eyes were complicated, as he had more calculations in his heart.
A long time passed.
Shi Yan woke up, smiling. "Let's continue."
Everybody was cheered up.
In front of them, the Martial Spirit Palace's group was still trapped. They hadn't found a solution yet.
Shi Yan took out the Sky Breaking Shuttle, pouring his energy into it to open the light passage in front of them. He was the first one to get in.
Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were smiling happily, as they entered the light passage one after another.
Inside the light passage, they could see the Martial Spirit Palace's group not far from them. However, the warriors of the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple couldn't see them. They were still frowning, waiting dully.
Inside the light passage, everybody had a feeling of being one level higher than the others. This kind of advantage made them feel good.
"Are they the opponents we're going to encounter?" Shi Yan was a little surprised. He discreetly assessed that group, his face changing.
Among the twelve warriors of the other side, seven were at the Spirit Realm, three at the Third Sky, two at the Second Sky, and two at the First Sky. This force was one level stronger than theirs.
"Not bad," Ye Xiong's face was solemn.
"We're going to meet them anyway. Before that, I'll give them a big gift," Shi Yan's lips curled up, as cold as a saber.
