The Demons Reappear
If Qin Shaofeng knew of Hou Yanqing's ambition, he would definitely despise Hou Yanqing for being greedy and insatiable.
Moreover, Qin Shaofeng absolutely believed that Hou Yanqing could not achieve this.
It was already very difficult for him to cultivate his Domain to the third layer of the Heavenly Layer before reaching the top three.
However, if one wanted to cultivate a Domain to the fourth Heavenly Layer before entering the upper three positions, the difficulty was no less than the difficulty of cultivating a Domain to the third Heavenly Layer. Unless one had an absolute advantage in Domain cultivation, or some kind of great opportunity, it was almost impossible.
Given Hou Yanqing's aptitude, even if he obtained more special Spiritual Beads, it was impossible for him to raise his Five Elements Fire Domain to the fourth Heavenly Layer.
Even if he obtained enough Origin Crystals, there was probably no hope of it.
After all, Hou Yanqing had a Five Elements Fire Spirit Root, so the Five Elements Fire Domain that he comprehended contained the power of fire of five elements. This kind of Domain was not easy to cultivate.
Therefore, it could be said that Hou Yanqing's plan to cultivate his Five Elements Fire Domain to the fourth Heavenly Layer before entering the upper three positions was almost wishful thinking.
Even if Hou Yanqing did not say it, or even show it, Qin Shaofeng could still see it. However, Qin Shaofeng also knew that it was impossible for Hou Yanqing to do it.
However, in any case, Qin Shaofeng was happy to see Hou Yanqing's enthusiasm.
This way, the number of crystal fragments produced by the Source Crystal Beasts would increase again, which was naturally a good thing for Qin Shaofeng.
This was indeed the case. When they heard Hou Yanqing say that the Divine Abode could directly refine the crystal fragments of the dead Source Crystal Beasts into Spiritual Beads that could help with Domain cultivation, the people of the other forces did not believe it at first.
However, after Hou Yanqing took out the Spiritual Beads and experimented with them, the geniuses of the other forces also began to act.
However, what surprised Qin Shaofeng was that Hou Yanqing was actually more cunning than him.
At most, Qin Shaofeng could form a thousand crystal fragments from the bodies of ten Source Crystal Beasts, which could double the number of Spiritual Beads produced by the Spiritual Origin to two thousand pieces.
However, Hou Yanqing's price for the other forces had increased by a lot, directly reaching five thousand pieces.
However, this was not unacceptable for the other forces.
In their opinion, the corpses of the Source Crystal Beasts were originally useless. But now that they had some use, fifty Source Crystal Beast corpses, they might might be able to let an outstanding subordinate with outstanding Domain...
No matter how they looked at it, it was a very good deal.
Of course, they also knew that the number number was the number number number number was number was number number number number's number number.
Because the confidentiality work was done well, even among the Divine Dwelling disciples, except for Hou Yanqing, Qi Dongming and a few others, no one knew that this special spirit bead was refined by Qin Shaofeng.
...
Time passed day by day. As the number of disciples with Domain increased, the other forces began to march into the deeper regions of the Source Crystal Space.
Although the main purpose of these Sky Saint level disciples was to hunt for source cores and use them to consolidate the spatial passage so that the powerhouses of the other forces could come in, it was not the case.
However, this did not mean that they did not have the responsibility to investigate the Source Crystal Space.
Apart from hunting Source Crystal Beasts to obtain source cores, the disciples of the other forces did not delay the task of investigating the Source Crystal Space.
Due to the gravity of the Source Crystal Space, the other forces did not directly go into the deeper regions of the Source Crystal Space.
It could not be helped. The deeper they went into the deeper regions, the stronger the gravity they had to endure.
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Saint level disciple with the support of his First Sky Domain would not be affected in the slightest in the First Sky Domain, which was a region with 100 gravity.
However, in the Second Sky Domain, ordinary disciples would still be able to move freely and even fight against Source Crystal Beasts under 200 times the gravity.
However, under such circumstances, even if they could still fight with their First Sky Domain, they would only be able to display 70% to 80% of their combat strength.
In the Third Sky Domain, the situation would be even more serious. Most people would only be able to display less than 50% or even 30% of their strength.
Needless to say, in the Fourth Sky Domain, disciples with First Sky Domain would be able to barely stand under 400 times the gravity in the Fourth Sky Domain.
Under such circumstances, the Combination Domain would be able to play a big role.
However, not everyone was like the Hundred Battles Palace, who cultivated the Hundred Battles Domain of the same Domain and could smoothly combine the Domains of several people or even dozens of people.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to combine the Domains of several people into a Combination Domain, even if they were of the same attribute.
Of course, if they cultivated the same type of Cultivation Technique, the difficulty would be reduced by a lot.
The higher-ups of the various forces, especially considering some subtle circumstances, allowed many of the people who entered to cultivate the same Cultivation Technique, so the combination of the Combination Domains was rather smooth.
However, because there weren't many disciples with Domains, the various major forces hadn't explored the Fourth Sky Domain and beyond.
Currently, there were no traces of source crystals in the First Sky Domain to the Fourth Sky Domain. Perhaps there were some source crystals in the First Sky Domain to the Fourth Sky Domain, but they were buried deep underground.
Even so, it was simply unrealistic to want to explore.
Even the underground of the first-class area could only be dug to a depth of 10 to 20 meters at most. Any deeper than that would be impossible.
The deeper they went, the harder the crystallized ground would be. 20 meters was the limit.
Since they couldn't explore underground, they could only explore the deeper regions.
After the various forces gathered, Hou Yanqing began to send Divine Palace disciples to explore the Fifth Sky Domain.
Qi Dongming and Li Kai also went ahead as the vanguard.
Qin Shaofeng didn't go because he still needed to refine Spiritual Beads.
Hou Yanqing didn't go either. Although searching for source crystals was very important, collecting source cores was the most important thing right now.
However, Qin Shaofeng knew that Hou Yanqing had already begun to use Spiritual Beads to cultivate his own Domain, while the Divine Dwelling disciples basically all possessed a Domain.
The Source Crystal Space was a little strange. There was an abnormal existence in the gravity of each domain.
Basically, if a Saint Lord disciple stayed in the Source Crystal Space for a month and adapted, their First Sky Domain could barely stay in the Fourth Sky Domain, but they wouldn't be able to last for long.
However, if it was the Heavenly Saint Stage, the strange thing was that the Domain of the same Heavenly Saint Stage would not only allow the Heavenly Saint Stage to withstand 400 times the gravity, but also allow them to unleash 70% to 80% of their strength.
This was countless times stronger than when a saint was barely able to resist the gravitational force.
If one had a Second Sky Domain, they wouldn't be affected at all in the Fourth Sky Domain.
Qin Shaofeng estimated that with Hou Yanqing's Third Heaven Level Five Elemental Fire Domain, he would be able to maintain his full combat strength even if he stayed in an area with six to seven hundred times the gravity.
It seemed that the higher one's cultivation level was in the Source Crystal Space, the stronger the restrictions.
Of course, if one's Domain was strong enough, they could offset these Domains.
This was also the main reason why the geniuses of the major factions didn't choose to break through to the top three and become a Saint Lord under the current circumstances.
As for other reasons, they naturally planned to further improve their Domain Realm at the Heavenly Saint Stage.
The cultivation speed in the Source Crystal Space was at least ten times faster than in the outside world. Now that Qin Shaofeng had refined a special Spiritual Bead, as long as the geniuses of the major factions weren't stupid, they definitely wouldn't break through so quickly.
In the following days, everyone who entered the Source Crystal Space began to enter a very urgent state.
Only a small portion of the people from the major factions explored the depths of the Source Crystal Space. Most of them stayed in the first three regions to hunt for Source Crystal Beasts.
The Source Crystal Beasts in the Source Crystal Space seemed very strange. There weren't many of them and they were unevenly distributed, but after more than a month of hunting by the major factions, the number of Source Crystal Beasts didn't decrease.
Even if they killed more than a dozen Source Crystal Beasts in the valley today, after three to five days, they would definitely return to the valley and find another dozen or so Source Crystal Beasts.
Although their appearance might be a little different, this kind of situation gave Qin Shaofeng the feeling of killing monsters in a game and respawning.
However, Little Ball told Qin Shaofeng that the reason for this situation was because of the characteristics of the Source Crystal Space.
It was as if there was a law in the Source Crystal Space. When the number of Source Crystal Beasts decreased, it could be replenished at any time.
Of course, Little Ball didn't know how this replenishment method worked.
But this somewhat strange situation made Qin Shaofeng suddenly wonder if the Source Crystal Space was artificially created.
Of course, Qin Shaofeng only thought so.
The strength and stability of the Source Crystal Space were much more stable than the space on the Origin Continent.
Qin Shaofeng remembered that even when his Master Alchemist had raised the Origin World's space to its strongest state, it was still far inferior to the space on the Origin Mainland.
Therefore, Qin Shaofeng found it hard to imagine that the Source Crystal Space, which was several times stronger than the space on the Origin Continent, could be artificially created.
…
In the outside world, at the entrance to the Source Crystal Space in the high-grade space …
It had already been one and a half months!
One and a half months had passed since the disciples of the various factions had been sent into the Source Crystal Space.
Half a month ago, when they hadn't received any response from the Source Crystal Space, the higher-ups of the various major factions had understood that the situation in the Source Crystal Space was more difficult than they had imagined.
However, this was also within their expectations, so the higher-ups of the various major factions weren't impatient.
Now that another half a month had passed, there were only a dozen or so days left until the deadline.
Two months was the deadline agreed upon. After two months, regardless of how many source cores were collected, the disciples who had entered the Source Crystal Space would respond and reopen the spatial passage to the Source Crystal Space.
At the moment, the higher-ups of the various major factions could only hope that the disciples who had entered the Source Crystal Space would be able to collect a lot of source cores.
However, it seemed that the various major factions couldn't wait until then.
On the day when there were still 15 days left until the deadline, a loud noise suddenly rang out in the sky above the space entrance.
A moment later, the sky split open!
A spatial crack more than a thousand miles long had appeared!
Behind the spatial rift, there were countless black shadows swaying faintly!
These were the Demons' soldiers and powerful Demons!
