259: Chapter 259 Su Taotao's Buffet

"Clang—"

A crisp sound suddenly broke the silence of the flight.

Lin Mengxue, who was carrying everyone in flight, was caught off guard, and her small head slammed hard against an invisible wall.

"Ouch! It hurts, hurts, hurts—what on earth is this?"

Fortunately, she was a dragon-type spiritual beast with a powerful physical body.

Although she saw stars from the impact and even some sparks flew...

She still quickly stabilized her massive form, avoiding the risk of falling.

"What's wrong, Xue'er?"

Chen Yi stepped forward to ask, while alertly scanning the surroundings.

Ahead was a burning, desolate land with a wide-open view and no obstacles.

So what had she just hit?

Lin Mengxue shook her somewhat dazed head, her dragon pupils filled with a hint of grievance and confusion: "Brother Chen Yi, there seems to be some kind of invisible barrier ahead. I just crashed right into it!"

"A barrier?"

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow. "There's nothing ahead?"

Hearing this, Luo Shiyin immediately spread her wings and flew to the spot where Lin Mengxue had just crashed.

She carefully reached out her hand and felt forward.

Sure enough, when her palm touched a certain plane, it was blocked by a soft force.

She tapped it lightly, making a dull "thud-thud" sound, feeling as if there were a giant piece of tempered glass in front of her.

"Little Brother Chen Yi, there really is a barrier here!"

Luo Shiyin turned back and said, "It's a layer of completely invisible air wall, very sturdy!"

"Could it be that these isolation barriers are set up between every area to prevent people from wandering around?"

Chen Yi was a bit puzzled. "But that's not right. We've clearly already entered the range of this sea of fire area. If there really were an isolation barrier, it should be set at the boundary between two areas. Why would it appear inside an area?"

Just as Chen Yi was completely baffled...

Luo Shiyin suddenly seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, come and look! A line of words has appeared on this barrier!"

"Words? What words?"

"Emmmmm—this script is so strange, I don't recognize it! But the moment I saw it, I seemed to naturally understand the meaning it wanted to express—it's very magical!"

"Hmm? What does it say then?"

"It seems to say—one needs to use spiritual power of various attributes to attack this barrier. When the spiritual power slot on the barrier is filled, the barrier will automatically disappear! And—the prompt also says that many places in this area seem to be in this situation."

By this time, Lin Mengxue, having recovered, also approached the barrier.

Sure enough, at the spot where she had just crashed, a line of special symbols like oracle bone script appeared.

Although she didn't recognize them at all, the meaning directly reflected in her mind—it was exactly the same as what Luo Shiyin had said!

"Interesting!"

The corners of Chen Yi's mouth curled up slightly into an interested smile. "It seems that what the World Familiar Organization said before about this Antarctica Mystic Realm possibly hiding the secrets of Space-Time Rifts wasn't groundless after all! This method of directly transmitting information is definitely not any means we know of! Tao Tao!"

"I'm here, I'm here! Brother Chen Yi, what's the matter?"

Su Taotao immediately poked her small head out from behind Yun Zhiyao, blinking her big eyes as she asked.

Chen Yi pointed at the invisible barrier in front and smiled, "This barrier, take a look, can you eat it?"

Su Taotao's eyes instantly lit up at the suggestion.

"Yes! Of course! I was just about to say, I feel the energy fluctuations emitted by this barrier smell so fragrant! It must be delicious!"

Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand with an air of great wealth. "Then I'll leave it to you! As for the energy, you don't need to worry at all. Just eat to your heart's content! There's plenty!"

"Thank you, Brother Chen Yi! Hehehe~~~"

Su Taotao licked her pink lips and took a sharp breath, "Taotie Heaven-Swallowing Technique!"

In an instant, with Su Taotao as the center, a massive black vortex appeared out of thin air!

The invisible barrier began to distort violently in the face of this overbearing suction aimed at energy!

The barrier energy, mixed with multiple attributes, also turned into visible streaks of colored light at this moment, being forcibly stripped from the barrier and flooding crazily into Su Taotao's small body!

"Whish, whish, whish—"

Massive amounts of spiritual power flooded in, and a strong halo of energy began to ripple on the surface of Su Taotao's body.

Her aura began to climb at an astonishing speed, like a balloon being continuously inflated, looking as if she were about to be burst by this massive amount of energy!

At this very moment, Chen Yi raised his right hand and swept his palm toward Su Taotao.

Energy Guidance!

"Boom!"

A powerful guiding force instantly acted upon Su Taotao.

The violent energy that was originally on the verge of bursting out of her body immediately became docile, turning into streams of even purer spiritual power, following Chen Yi's guidance and flowing toward the others in the team!

Chen Yi's gaze immediately locked onto the member in the team who needed improvement the most.

"Lilian! Don't daze off! Hurry up, circulate the basic cultivation method I taught you and cultivate with all your might!"

"Eh? Cul—cultivate?"

Lilian was a bit confused, not understanding what Chen Yi was talking about.

This sudden, massive energy had completely stunned her, and she didn't react for a moment.

It wasn't until that comfortable yet infinitely powerful torrent of spiritual power slowly irrigated her entire body.

That she suddenly jolted, realizing something.

"This—this is?"

"Don't ask so much for now! Honestly feel this energy, guide it, and absorb it! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you!"

"Eh! Okay! Okay! I understand!"

Lilian reacted instantly. No longer hesitating, she immediately followed the basic cultivation method Chen Yi had previously taught her, sitting cross-legged on the dragon's back, casting aside all distracting thoughts, and fully operating her spiritual power meridians to absorb the continuous influx of pure spiritual power!

"Boom—!"

Just ten seconds later!

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Lilian's body!

She successfully broke through the bottleneck, advancing from Rank 2 Level 1 to Rank 2 Level 2!

However, this was only the beginning!

Under Su Taotao's continuous devouring of the barrier energy and Chen Yi's Energy Guidance...

The pure streams of spiritual power also continuously washed over and nourished Lilian's physical body!

"Boom—"

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

---

One minute later, her aura erupted again—Rank 2 Level 3!

Two minutes later, Rank 2 Level 4!

Three minutes later, Rank 2 Level 5!

Four minutes later, Rank 2 Level 6!

---

Almost every minute, the aura on Lilian's body would erupt once, increasing by one level!

The spiritual power that would have normally taken years of hard cultivation to accumulate was now skyrocketing at an inconceivable speed!
