109: Chapter 109 Crossing Boundaries to a New World, First Exploration of Unfamiliar Territory

Crossing through that space vortex rotating with brilliant starlight, Ye Qing only felt a blur before his eyes as the surrounding space instantly twisted and elongated, as if being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.

In his ears was the sharp whistling of spatial turbulence, mixed with deep, rumbling sounds that seemed to come from outside the world.

The process of teleportation was not comfortable; one could even say it was quite bumpy.

Although that heart of the void was of extremely high quality, it had been dormant for too long after all, and the compatibility with this ancient teleportation array needed time to settle. Inside the teleportation tunnel, fine spatial cracks flashed by like lightning from time to time, grazing past Ye Qing's protective spiritual light and emitting harsh sizzling sounds.

"This teleportation experience gets a bad review. If I had known, I would have prepared a few more star source crystals as stabilizers."

Ye Qing complained internally while pushing his Chaos Infant Essence to the limit, stabilizing the space around him to resist the impact of the turbulence in the teleportation tunnel.

He did not know how much time had passed.

Perhaps it was an instant, perhaps it was several hours.

When Ye Qing felt the chaotic spatial power around him suddenly weaken and a blinding white light appeared before his eyes, he knew that he had reached his destination.

He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, adjusted his posture, and prepared to deal with sudden situations.

The next moment, the feeling of feet touching solid ground arrived.

The white light dissipated, and the scene before him gradually became clear.

This was an entirely unfamiliar world.

The sky presented a deep, almost purple azure, with three moons of different sizes and colors hanging high—one silvery white, one pale purple, and another a deep, dark red. The moonlight falling down intertwined, draping the earth in a fantastical and magnificent color.

The air was outrageously fresh, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi far exceeded the Dragonfall Abyss area where he had previously been; it was even a few notches denser than the Spiritual Qi inside his Cave Heaven World, and it carried a wild, ancient, and undeveloped savage aura.

Ye Qing took a deep breath, feeling the rich Spiritual Qi surge into his limbs and bones; even the Chaos Nascent Soul in his Dantian emitted a comfortable, soft groan.

"What a great place! The Spiritual Qi is at least several times that of over there! Moreover, the laws of heaven and earth here... seem more complete, more... Advanced?"

His heart stirred slightly as he spread out his Divine Sense, extending it in all directions.

His Divine Sense at the Nascent Soul Stage seemed to have received some kind of amplification here, with a detection range far exceeding before, easily covering a radius of several dozen miles.

Surrounding him were rolling mountain ranges covered in dense primeval forests.

The trees in the forest were ridiculously tall, often dozens or even over a hundred zhang high, with trunks so thick they required more than ten people to embrace, and crowns that blotted out the sky, cutting the moonlight into countless tiny spots of light that fell down.

The forest was full of vitality, with various strange birds, beasts, and insects chirping one after another. Among them, there was no lack of existences with powerful auras; there were even a few obscure auras that made even Ye Qing feel a trace of pressure.

"This place... is not simple. I'm afraid there are Mid-Nascent Soul Stage or even Late-Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beasts entrenched here."

Ye Qing felt a chill in his heart and immediately retracted his Divine Sense, suppressing his own aura to around the Early Golden Core Stage, while simultaneously operating the medicinal power of the "void concealment pill" to blend his figure into the shadows of the surrounding environment.

Being a newcomer, it was better to keep a low profile.

He did not want to be targeted by the local big shots just because he was too arrogant right after transmigrating.

He looked around and found himself standing on the top of a steep mountain, with jagged rocks under his feet. Not far behind him, there was a circular array base mark about a zhang wide on the ground, composed of complex runes, which was currently emitting weak spatial fluctuations that were about to dissipate.

"It seems this is the landing point of the teleportation. A one-way teleportation, sure enough, there is no way to return along the same path."

Ye Qing checked the array base, confirmed that it had completely failed, and then paid it no more mind.

He first carefully checked his own condition.

Although there was bumping during the teleportation process, relying on his thick Chaos Infant Essence and the spatial power of the Cave Heaven World to protect his body, he was not injured, only consuming nearly thirty percent of his magic power and a bit of mental energy.

"Let's find a safe place first, recover my magic power, and then slowly explore this new world."

He made up his mind, his gaze sweeping over the vast sea of forest below, and quickly locked onto a valley located at the intersection of two mountain ranges, with dangerous terrain and relatively stable Spiritual Qi.

With a flicker, he slid down the mountain like a ghost, silently merging into the shadows of the dense forest, and sneaked towards that valley.

Along the way, he saw many strange plants and insects he had never seen before.

Some mushrooms were as big as millstones, emitting faint fluorescence; some vines were like living creatures, slowly wriggling between tree trunks; there were also crystal-clear, gem-like beetles the size of a fist, shuttling between leaves, gnawing on leaves that emitted spiritual light.

"Tsk tsk, this place is simply a paradise for botanists and Alchemists. If all the spiritual plants here were transplanted into the Cave Heaven..."

Ye Qing's thoughts turned, but his steps did not stop.

Now was not the time for major development; the primary task was to establish a foothold.

Soon, he arrived at that valley.

The valley entrance was narrow, easy to defend and hard to attack, while the interior was quite spacious, several miles in radius, with a small pool in the center. The pool water was clear to the bottom, emitting faint Spiritual Qi. The trees in the valley were relatively sparse, and the terrain was flat, making it a good temporary foothold.

Ye Qing first carefully probed the inside and outside of the valley with his Divine Sense to confirm that there were no powerful Yao Beasts entrenched, nor any traces of other Cultivators, before landing his flying light.

He did not immediately set up a large Formation, but instead used the "earth vein array core mushroom" as the core to set up a basic "Lesser Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Earth Vein Array", connecting with the earth Qi to form a basic defensive and concealment barrier.

Then, he set up several layers of trigger-type warning Restrictions at the valley entrance and several key locations to ensure that he could detect any living creatures approaching the first time.

After doing this, he sat cross-legged on a flat blue stone by the pool.

He did not take any Medicinal Pills, but just closed his eyes and operated the Hunxu Yandao Scripture, sinking his mind into his inner Cave Heaven.

The twenty-thousand-zhang Cave Heaven World, because he had come to this new world with richer Spiritual Qi and higher-level rules, seemed to have been stimulated by something, and the chaotic gray fog at the edge surged more actively, slowly expanding outward.

Inside the Cave Heaven, the earth veins were like dragons, the star sea stretched across the sky, and the outlines of mountains and rivers became clearer and more vibrant.

Xing Hao was sleeping soundly beside a star source crystal, its aura already stabilized at the Mid-Third Stage, only one step away from the Late Stage.

"Good, let's begin."

With a thought from Ye Qing, he guided the incomparably pure Chaos Infant Essence fed back from the Cave Heaven World, like a floodgate opening, surging into his Dantian.

This feedback energy was much purer than when he was in the original world, and it carried a trace of the wild, ancient aura of this new world, rapidly fusing with his own Chaos Infant Essence and transforming into the most Origin cultivation base.

In his Dantian, the Chaos Nascent Soul looked solemn, its hands forming seals, swallowing this vast energy. The magic power that had been consumed due to the teleportation was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was even more condensed and pure than before.

"Awesome! This feedback efficiency is faster than popping pills! And there are absolutely no side effects!"

Ye Qing felt secretly pleased, guiding the energy to wash and refine his Nascent Soul and Meridians over and over again, polishing every Realm to the limit.

In this new world where experts were as numerous as clouds, only by laying a solid Foundation could one have the capital to survive and live comfortably.

He sat like this for three full days.

Three days later, Ye Qing slowly opened his eyes, divine light contained within his pupils, and his aura had already recovered to its Peak state, even faintly having a trace of improvement.

"Magic power fully recovered, state is great. It is time to go and explore what this world is actually like."

He stood up, his gaze looking towards the vast sea of forest outside the valley, a trace of anticipation and sharp edge flashing in his eyes.

"I wonder, is the Yao Race of this world easy to deal with? Or rather... is it easy to kill?"
