There were many special places in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, all of which were extremely dangerous. Even cultivators did not dare to approach them.
Some of these places were occupied by powerful Monster Beasts. For example, the lake where the Winged Flood Dragon lived was a dangerous place.
However, the Winged Flood Dragon was not a threat to cultivators. As long as they did not provoke it and offered it some food, they would be able to live peacefully with the Winged Flood Dragon.
However, not every Monster Beast was like the Winged Flood Dragon. These Monster Beasts were all overlord-level existences that cultivators of the Spirit Stream Battlefield could not match.
In addition to these overlord-level Monster Beasts, there were also many natural places.
Lu Ye did not want to find these dangerous places. Although he could kill ordinary Heaven Grade 9 cultivators with his current strength, if he really entered these dangerous places, he would not be able to survive, so he did not want to seek excitement.
He just wanted to find a suitable place for him to use some of his methods. For example, a natural environment that could block the view from above or make it easier for him to hide.
Such places were not difficult to find, so he quickly found a target.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Ye rested for four hours before standing up.
Several kilometers away from the Three Sacred Academies' encampment, there were already more than 300 cultivators from the Myriad Demon Ridge gathered here, and there was still a steady stream of people gathering here.
It would not be long before they began to attack the Three Sacred Academies' encampment.
Inside the formation, Lu Ye took Giant Armor and bid farewell to Situ Han. Situ Han did not try to persuade him to stay and simply sighed. "Junior Brother Lu, the Three Sacred Academies have wronged you."
"Senior Brother Situ is too serious. The Three Sacred Academies have already done us a great favor by taking in our Jade Blood Sect's disciples."
He then turned to look at Feng Yue, who was standing to the side. "Don't embarrass the sect."
Feng Yue lowered her eyes and obediently replied, "Yes."
"Farewell!" Lu Ye cupped his fists towards Situ Han and Shi Lei before summoning his spirit boat and standing on it with Giant Armor.
He did not leave Giant Armor behind mainly because Giant Armor would not be willing.
The spirit boat hummed slightly and turned into a streak of light that shot into the sky.
Feng Yue took a step forward and shouted in the direction where Lu Ye had left, "Fifth Senior Brother, you must be careful!"
She had very mixed feelings about Lu Ye. She used to resent him, but ever since he accepted her as a formal disciple of the Jadeblood Sect, her resentment faded a lot. She followed him into the inner circle and stayed in Three Sacred Academies' encampment under his arrangements.
If she was still a cultivator of the Feng Family, she definitely wouldn't be able to enjoy such treatment. She suddenly discovered that leaving the Feng Family and joining the Blue Blood Sect might not be a bad thing for her.
If only Fifth Senior Brother could be friendlier to her …
The Spirit Boat turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the defensive formation, quickly flying into the distance. Seeing this, the cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge who were waiting outside chased after it. In an instant, the sky was filled with streams of light. In just a moment, the area outside the Third Saint Academy's encampment was empty.
To the cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge, hunting down Lu Ye was more important than anything else. As long as they killed Lu Ye, not only would they obtain an unimaginably huge reward, but they would also no longer have to live in fear in the Myriad Devil Ridge.
Now, the Myriad Demons Ridge's fear of him had shifted from his method of breaking the formation to his own strength.
He could kill a Heaven Nine cultivator with his Heaven Seven cultivation. If he reached Heaven Nine, who would be able to deal with him in the Spirit Stream Battlefield?
The Myriad Demons Ridge did not want to experience the horror of having an entire camp dominated by one person.
The difference in cultivation was obvious at a glance. Those with lower cultivation and weaker spirit tools would quickly fall behind. Even if their cultivation reached Heaven Eight or Heaven Nine, it would be difficult for them to catch up to Lu Ye.
Fortunately, the Myriad Demons Ridge had worked together. As long as Lu Ye did not hide, they would never have to worry about losing his trail.
A day later, Lu Ye's figure disappeared from the sight of the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators.
The last place he appeared was in a vast mountain range. According to the map, this mountain range was called the Hidden Fog Mountain.
From its name, one could tell that this dense forest was shrouded in thick fog all year round. If a cultivator flew by on an artifact in the air, they would be able to see a vast expanse of fog and rolling clouds below. It was a spectacular sight. Trees that were hundreds of meters tall were hidden in the clouds, and only their umbrella-like canopies towered above the sea of clouds.
In the depths of the forest, fierce beasts were entrenched, but there were also many rare treasures.
Therefore, the Hidden Fog Mountain was a very famous mountain range in the entire Core Region. Many cultivators liked to come here to collect herbs or catch some monsters.
However, this place was also accompanied by some danger. This was because there were three overlord-level monsters here!
Fortunately, overlord-level monsters were very intelligent. They usually lived in their own territory. As long as one did not trespass on their territory, they would not attract any hostility.
Lu Yiye did not go anywhere else but entered the Hidden Fog Mountain. It was obvious that he wanted to use this place to escape the pursuit of the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators.
How could the cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge tolerate this? They quickly called upon their friends and more cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge joined in the pursuit.
In the past, the Hidden Fog Mountain was not very lively. However, in just a few days, countless cultivators went deep into the mountain and it became a bit noisy.
Because of the environment, the vision of the cultivators was blocked when they flew in the air. They could only descend and follow.
The Myriad Demons Ridge's operation was organized. Many ghost cultivators who were good at hiding their tracks were scattered into the Hidden Fog Mountain to search for Lu Ye's figure. If they found any clues, they would immediately send a message.
As for the others, they divided into small teams and continued to explore the depths of the Hidden Fog Mountain. The number of people in each team varied, but there were at least ten people. This was because if there were too few people, even if they found Lu Ye, they might not be able to capture him.
The distance between the teams was not too far to ensure that they could support each other at any time.
One had to admit that the Myriad Demons Ridge's arrangements were very thorough. Under such arrangements, a vigorous pursuit began.
Yu Qi was one of the many ghost cultivators who went deep into the Hidden Fog Mountain to track Lu Ye. His cultivation was not too high in the core region, but it was not low either. He had opened 310 apertures and was at the eighth heaven stage. He was 50 apertures away from ninth heaven.
At the beginning of cultivation, 50 apertures was nothing. Anyone with a bit of talent could open 50 apertures. However, at Yu Qi's level, he could clearly feel the resistance.
As the number of spirit apertures opened increased, the barrier of the spirit apertures became thicker and the process became more and more difficult.
There was no way to keep trying to open spirit apertures because the more you tried, the easier it would be for the spirit apertures to break. Once they broke, the spirit aperture would be crippled and could only be repaired by the Aperture Replenishing Pill.
He knew that if he didn't have a special opportunity, it would be impossible for him to open 360 apertures. However, he was unwilling to reach cloud river just like that.
This was the mentality of most cultivators. At this point, everyone wanted to reach a higher level. Even if they couldn't reach the next level, they would do their best to open more spirit apertures.
This was because the more spirit apertures one opened, the more potential one had after reaching cloud river.
The reason they could persevere was that there was something called the Barrier Breaking Pill in this world!
Compared to the Aperture Replenishing Pill's astronomical price of 160,000 merit points, the Barrier Breaking Pill's price of 500 merit points was a very good price that hadn't changed even after so many years.
However, even for the core region cultivators, 500 merit points were not easy to obtain.
Besides, a cultivator like Yu Qi needed a huge amount of Barrier Breaking Pills. Perhaps the first pill could help him open one spiritual cavity, but the next spiritual cavity would require two or even three pills. The more spiritual cavities he opened with the help of Barrier Breaking Pills, the greater the consumption of Barrier Breaking Pills. When the Barrier Breaking Pills no longer had any effect, the cultivator would have reached the end of the Spirit Stream Realm and would have no choice but to break through to the Cloud River Realm.
Yu Qi was 50 apertures away from ninth heaven!
One could only imagine how many Barrier Breaking Pills he would need. It was impossible for him to accumulate so many merit points by himself. Chasing after Lu Yiye was an opportunity.
As long as he could kill Lu Yiye, he would have enough capital to open more spirit apertures.
As a ghost cultivator who had been communicating with the underworld all year round, Yu Qi was very confident in his concealment skills. It could be said that every ghost cultivator had this kind of confidence.
He was also very lucky, because a few days after entering the Hidden Fog Mountain, he actually found Lu Yiye's whereabouts!
Lu Yiye was sitting cross-legged on a large rock next to a clear mountain spring. There was a bonfire next to him, and the body cultivator called Giant Armor was roasting a wild boar. The oily skin emitted an enticing fragrance, and the oil dripped onto the bonfire, making sizzling sounds.
There was also a large snow-white cat-like demonic beast that was crawling on the side, gnawing on the bloody beast meat.
At that moment, Yu Qi almost couldn't suppress his heartbeat, because for any cultivator of the Myriad Devil Ridge, this youth who looked to be only 17 or 18 years old was a moving treasury!
As long as he was killed, the wealth in the treasury would be inexhaustible.
Yu Qi glanced at Lu Ye, who was meditating, and then at Ju Jia, who was barbecuing meat beside him. Yu Qi cursed in his heart. How careless were these two fellows? They were being chased by so many people from the Myriad Demons Ridge, yet they were still in the mood to barbecue meat.
He gently took a breath, calmed his excitement, and then slowly approached Lu Ye.
For a ghost cultivator, Lu Ye's current state was even more tempting than a roasted wild boar. As long as he could sneak within ten meters of him, he was confident that he could kill him with a sure-kill blow!
He was a ghost cultivator who was born to be able to kill enemies above his level!
Stepping on the soft leaves without making any sound, Yu Qi exerted his cultivation over the years to the extreme.
Ten meters, fifteen meters, ten meters …
Yu Qi's movements suddenly stiffened, and fine sweat seeped out of his forehead because he suddenly found a corpse lying behind the boulder where Lu Ye was sitting. Judging from the corpse's attire, it was undoubtedly a ghost cultivator.
Sticking his head out to look at the corpse's face, Yu Qi's mind buzzed …
He recognized this ghost cultivator, who came from a second-grade sect and was a ninth-grade ghost cultivator, much stronger than him.
