Array Opening
Inside the Source Crystal Space …
After a few more days, Qin Shaofeng finally broke free from the state of refining spiritual pearls.
That was because there were only ten days left before the two-month deadline was up.
However, even though the number of source cores collected by the various great factions was quite a lot, they were still far from reaching the 1,000,000 mark.
However, during the last 10 days, Hou Yanqing and the other leaders of the various factions had a discussion and finally decided to stop exploring the depths of the source crystal space. Instead, they would focus on hunting source crystal beasts and obtaining source cores. They would strive to obtain as many source cores as they could before the appointed time.
However, Qin Shaofeng knew that the reason the great factions had decided to stop exploring the depths of the Source Crystal Space was probably because they hadn't obtained anything even after exploring the grade-six area.
Over the past 20 days, the great factions had finished exploring the grade-five area, but they still hadn't discovered the existence of any source crystals.
The Source Crystal Beasts that had appeared in the grade-five area were so powerful that the great factions had suffered a lot.
Therefore, the great factions had worked together to explore the grade-six area for source crystals.
Unfortunately, after exploring quite a few areas in the grade-six area, they still hadn't obtained anything. Furthermore, the two-month deadline was approaching, so the great factions decided to stop searching for source crystals.
It was also because of this reason that Qin Shaofeng finally got out of the state of refining Spirit Beads and joined the team of hunting Source Crystal Beasts.
In fact, Qin Shaofeng still believed that Hou Yanqing had realized that his domain realm couldn't be improved any further, which was why Qin Shaofeng had listened to him.
After returning to the team, Qin Shaofeng naturally formed a team with Qi Dongming, Li Kai, and the other two, whom he was familiar with.
However, this time, the team wasn't made up of just five people.
In addition to Qin Shaofeng's team of five, Hou Yanqing also gave Qin Shaofeng 25 disciples of the Sky War Pavilion so that Qin Shaofeng could form a team of 30 people.
Perhaps it was because Qin Shaofeng had been very well-behaved during this period of time. He had always obeyed Hou Yanqing's instructions. Well, in fact, he had been constantly refining spirit beads at Hou Yanqing's request.
However, because of Qin Shaofeng's deliberate performance, Hou Yanqing felt that Qin Shaofeng was already considered her subordinate. In addition, although she did not raise her domain to the fourth level because of Qin Shaofeng's spiritual pearl, she did not raise her domain to the fourth level.
However, during this period of time, Hou Yanqing's domain had also advanced from the early stage of the Third Heavenly Layer to the middle stage. This kind of cultivation made Hou Yanqing somewhat satisfied.
The cultivation of Domain was divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and perfection stages.
Therefore, even if it was to reward Qin Shaofeng for his hard work, Hou Yanqing still made Qin Shaofeng the captain of a 30-man team.
In the 30-man team, there were only five Heaven Saint level disciples, Qin Shaofeng, Qi Dongming, and the others. Basically, the leader of each team was a genius who had a domain in the Heaven Saint level.
Therefore, even if Qin Shaofeng suddenly joined, under the complete obedience of Qi Dongming and Li Kai, the remaining twenty-five people also listened to Qin Shaofeng's orders one by one.
Then, Qin Shaofeng felt good!
Because of the characteristics of the Pill Realm, as long as the Source Crystal Beasts were killed in the Pill Realm, Qin Shaofeng would obtain experience points.
After this period of time, Qin Shaofeng no longer restricted the power of his Pill Realm.
Because of Qin Shaofeng's deliberate actions, he was now a Heaven Saint with a Second Heavenly Layer Domain.
In fact, for others, even if it was only a First Heavenly Layer Pill Realm, once fully opened, the suppressive power and aura would make people think that it was a Second Heavenly Layer Domain.
Therefore, Qin Shaofeng used the excuse that his Domain had broken through to the Second Heavenly Layer.
But in fact, Qin Shaofeng's Pill Realm only belonged to the First Heavenly Layer Realm.
In fact, this was also a move that Qin Shaofeng used to eliminate Hou Yanqing's wariness.
He had been refining special spirit beads that could assist in the cultivation of Domain. Under such circumstances, if he still had a First Heavenly Layer Domain, he was afraid that it would definitely arouse Hou Yanqing's suspicion.
Therefore, at a certain time, Qin Shaofeng deliberately exposed the full power of the Pill Realm and simulated the aura of a Domain breakthrough.
Then, he immediately informed Hou Yanqing that his Domain had broken through to the Second Heavenly Layer Realm.
The place where Qin Shaofeng refined the spirit beads had always been within the scope of Hou Yanqing's Domain, although Hou Yanqing no longer monitored Qin Shaofeng.
But the aura of a breakthrough, no matter how well it was hidden, absolutely could not escape Hou Yanqing's senses.
Therefore, Hou Yanqing was not surprised that Qin Shaofeng informed him of his Domain Breakthrough at the first moment. Instead, he was very happy.
However, he was happy because he thought that Qin Shaofeng had already treated him as one of his own and had already submitted to his situation.
And it was most likely because of this that Hou Yanqing let Qin Shaofeng be the leader of Qi Dongming's team.
However, Hou Yanqing did not know that the more he acted like this, the more Qin Shaofeng despised him.
Who do you think I, Qin Shaofeng, am?
How can I be so loyal to you so easily?
Keep on dreaming!
However, no matter what, in the end, Qin Shaofeng still got the result he wanted. With 29 subordinates, his experience points would fly.
If not for the fact that he was afraid that after advancing to the Great Sage this time, his level would increase too much at once and arouse Hou Yanqing's suspicion, Qin Shaofeng would have chosen to break through long ago.
His Alchemy Realm was only at the First-Level Alchemy Realm. Wouldn't it be bad for his future cultivation development?
Unfortunately, his Alchemy Realm was completely linked to the Alchemy Scripture's realm. If the Alchemy Scripture's realm improved, his Alchemy Realm would naturally improve as well.
There was simply no need to care about the Sky Sage Realm. After cultivating to the Second or Third Level, cultivating to the Seventh or Eighth Level would be easier.
Because to Qin Shaofeng, even if he cultivated the Pill Realm to the 4th Heavenly Layer, it would be the same as when he broke through to the Saint Lord Realm from the 1st Heavenly Layer. The difficulty of cultivating the Pill Realm to the 7th or 8th Heavenly Layer was the same.
…
Finally, under the relentless hunting, the two-month deadline was up.
During this last period, the geniuses in charge of the various large factions had reached an agreement that they would not make a move on anyone else. They would not snatch the source cores of other factions, nor would they target other factions or carry out any schemes.
In order to hunt even more source cores, everyone had completely set aside their previous prejudices.
Although there were still many small frictions, generally speaking, everything had gone smoothly.
Thus, it was inconceivable that the number of source cores collected by the various large factions had exceeded one million and reached their initial goal.
This was somewhat inconceivable!
However, everyone knew that these were the peculiar spirit pearls provided by the Divine Palace.
It was precisely because of these peculiar spirit pearls that everyone possessed a Domain that they were able to hunt for such a large number of source cores.
Logically speaking, more than one million source cores represented more than one million source crystal beasts.
If Qin Shaofeng's spirit source could devour that many source crystal beasts, he would definitely be able to upgrade the space of his Origin Source World.
Unfortunately, they hadn't been aware of the use of the source crystal beasts' bodies at first, so they hadn't collected them. However, after some time had passed, the various large factions had actually stopped supplying the Divine Palace with those crystal beasts.
The first reason was that at this time, the disciples of the various major factions had already comprehended their own domain after entering the sage realm.
Secondly, the geniuses of the various large factions had also realized that Hou Yanqing's price was too high.
Although everyone had been aware of this from the start, they had been forced to urgently increase the strength of their own factions' disciples, so even if the price had been too high, they had still accepted it.
However, when everyone had possessed a Domain, the geniuses of the various large factions had started to think of ways to preserve the crystal beasts and no longer use them to exchange for spirit pearls with Hou Yanqing.
Although they hadn't been able to figure out the refining method of the spirit pearls after some research, as long as they brought these crystal beasts out of the source crystal space and returned to their own factions, they believed that the elders of their respective factions would be able to figure out the refining method of the spirit pearls.
From this point, there was no need to say that Hou Yanqing was sinister.
Hou Yanqing hadn't told anyone that these spirit pearls had been refined using the power of a special Domain. No matter how strong a person was, they wouldn't be able to imitate it.
Without the power of that special Domain, these crystal beasts would just be a pile of useless stone.
If the spirit pearls had still been useful to Hou Yanqing, who had already entered the intermediate third-level Domain Realm, Hou Yanqing would have revealed this matter because he needed a large number of spirit pearls to cultivate his own Domain.
However, after discovering that the spirit pearls could no longer be used to enhance his own Domain, Hou Yanqing no longer had any intention of revealing this matter.
He even warned Qi Dongming and the others, saying that for the sake of Qin Shaofeng's safety, they shouldn't reveal this matter.
In this regard, Qin Shaofeng could only mourn for those geniuses.
However, Qin Shaofeng had also made up his mind. If there was a chance, he would reveal this matter to those geniuses. After all, he needed a large number of crystal beasts to enhance his own Source World space.
If he could not miss this opportunity, he naturally wouldn't miss it!
However, until now, when the large factions had gathered again, Qin Shaofeng hadn't found a suitable opportunity.
Today was the last day of the two month deadline. The people of the various large factions had gathered at the place closest to the entrance to the outside world according to the special array disc that they had prepared for entering the source crystal space.
The place closest to the spatial passage was only at the edge of the first-class area, and it was only a small canyon.
Because the small canyon could only accommodate two to three hundred people, most of the people gathered outside the small canyon. Only the main members, like Hou Yanqing, had entered.
Of course, as one of Hou Yanqing's confidants, Qin Shaofeng was also standing beside Hou Yanqing at the moment.
The place closest to the spatial passage was something similar to a light hole. It was hazy, so the situation outside couldn't be seen at all.
However, for some reason, Qin Shaofeng felt that something wasn't right when he saw this light hole.
After observing it for a while, Qin Shaofeng didn't know where this strange feeling came from. In the end, he could only attribute it to his own imagination.
By now, Hou Yanqing and the others had already made their preparations and used the millions of source cores to set up a special array formation.
The array formation didn't need to be prepared. Once the array formation was activated, the powerhouses of the large factions outside would be able to sense it.
