In its view, after killing Ye Feng, it could simply escape. At that time, the world would be vast, allowing it to roam freely. Even if the Nine-Headed Blood Python wanted to find trouble with it, it wouldn't be that easy.
With killing intent ignited, the Flying Wing Serpent set aside all concerns and frantically flapped its flesh wings, creating a gust of wind as it swooped down towards Ye Feng like a startled phoenix.
With a loud crash, the silver vortex enveloping Ye Feng acted as if it were solid, forcefully bouncing the massive body of the Demon Serpent Leader away.
The Demon Serpent Leader couldn't help but feel even more furious. Its fangs bared, it prepared to launch a second attack, aiming to bite down hard on Ye Feng.
Just then, Ye Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a confident smile. "Brother Snake, all I absorbed was Spirit Energy that is of no use to you. There's no need to be angry."
As the vortex gradually subsided, all the Spirit Energy in the cave had been completely absorbed by Ye Feng. In his brain's Nirvana Palace, sufficient space had been created for the internal spiritual energy to reside.
The Demon Serpent Leader paused momentarily as an inexplicable sense of fear arose within it. Almost instinctively, it twisted its body and flapped its wings to retreat several dozen yards away.
The human youth before it appeared unchanged from before; his cultivation level showed no signs of alteration. After the vortex disappeared, he seemed just like an ordinary person without any trace of mystical energy surrounding him. Yet this seemingly ordinary human youth exerted pressure on it akin to towering mountains, almost no different from when facing the Nine-Headed Blood Python.
The Demon Serpent Leader hissed in frustration. Although reluctant, it realized that its loss of power had indeed stopped and that it had not been drained into a mere serpent husk as it had imagined.
Seeing the Demon Serpent Leader staring intently at him with full vigilance, Ye Feng couldn't help but chuckle. However, he also found it strange why after advancing to Refining Qi Mid-Stage, the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique's ability to absorb Spirit Energy had become so exaggerated that it could forcibly plunder Spirit Energy already absorbed by other creatures.
Looking around, he noticed that the surrounding jungle had lost its vitality after being deprived of Spirit Energy and appeared instantly wilted. The once lively small beasts seemed drained of energy and lay weakly on the grass.
Without Spirit Energy and lacking sunlight and dew for nourishment, the flora in this area would eventually wither away, causing herbivorous small beasts to gradually lose their food sources.
With a light sigh, Ye Feng slowly walked over to a gray rabbit. After gently stroking it, he murmured, "I'm sorry everyone; you won't be able to stay here anymore. However, I will send you out into the world and hope you can survive!"
Ye Feng felt powerless regarding the plants and trees in the cave; the only thing he could do was send the small beasts living there out of the cave.
"Brother Snake, thank you for your protection during this time. If there's nothing else, I shall take my leave," Ye Feng said with a slight bow towards the astonished Demon Serpent Leader nearby. He extended his hand as a silver light burst forth from his palm, enveloping all the flying creatures in the cave.
Using the Wind Treading Step, Ye Feng led a group of small beasts out of the cave, passing through numerous tunnels and returning to the Ground.
With his cultivation reaching the Refining Qi Mid-Stage, the practicality of his spiritual power had significantly improved. Sending away over a hundred small beasts was now an effortless task for Ye Feng.
In the western jungle, the sun shone brightly at noon, and a gentle breeze carrying the scents of earth and grass blew by, refreshing his spirit.
"I didn't expect it would only take twelve hours to successfully break through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement!" Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise while checking his body.
Breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement brought about a qualitative change in Ye Feng.
His spiritual power possessed the ability to nourish Meridians and refine his physical body. During the process of opening the Nirvana Palace, his spiritual power circulated through his Meridians, with some of it merging into his flesh, further enhancing Ye Feng's physical strength.
Beyond that, Ye Feng's greatest benefit came from the opening of the Nirvana Palace. The Divine Soul was nurtured within the Nirvana Palace; after infusing spiritual power into it, they intertwined, greatly strengthening Ye Feng's Soul Thought. Originally able to sense spiritual power only two or three miles away, he could now extend that range to over five miles. Moreover, his five senses had also been significantly sharpened.
Looking around, he observed the agile small beasts climbing and jumping in the jungle. The birds flying overhead seemed to move in slow motion to Ye Feng's eyes, allowing him to easily grasp all their movements in detail.
The speed of motion capture directly related to a martial artist's reflexes. Now, even when facing experts from the Gangwu Realm, Ye Feng felt confident he could hold his own in battle!
As for what to do next, Ye Feng already had plans. The enhancement from the Immortal Path and Supreme Technique had greatly benefited him, and he certainly wouldn't miss out on the last Spirit Qi Cave.
Before leaving, the Nine-Headed Blood Python had advised Ye Feng to absorb and refine the Spirit Energy in the cave before heading directly to the northwest forest towards the cave where the Heavenly Demon Spider resided, and then prepare for matters regarding Seal Canyon.
To provide specific location details, the Nine-Headed Blood Python had thoughtfully left behind a map. Ye Feng took out the map from his pocket and carefully examined it before confirming its location.
"It's about a hundred miles from here. If it were before, it would have taken at least two or three hours to reach. But now with the help of Wind Control Technique, I estimate one hour will be enough!"
Ye Feng put away the map and recited a spell with a solemn expression as he cast a technique.
Two small whirlwinds formed out of nowhere, swirling around Ye Feng's feet, making him feel significantly lighter.
"Wind Treading Step!" Ye Feng thought with delight. The Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement allowed him to easily utilize many small spells that were previously beyond his reach.
With his feet on the whirlwinds, Ye Feng simultaneously executed the Wind Control Technique and Wind Treading Step, moving as fast as lightning. In an instant, he vanished from his original spot, transforming into a streak of azure light, racing northwest.
An hour later, Ye Feng emerged from the western jungle onto an open grassy area. Not far ahead was the "Wormwood Forest" marked on his map.
Perhaps due to the Spirit Qi Cave, the trees in Wormwood Forest were much taller than those in other jungles. The branches were lush and dense, with massive canopies completely shrouding the forest. Sunlight struggled to penetrate, making the depths of the jungle appear dark and eerie.
Wormwood Forest was named for its various levels of Demon Insects. The most numerous among them was the "Ghostface Spider," a Fourth-Grade Demon Insect. The Ghostface Spider was enormous, about the size of an ordinary cow or sheep. Its fangs could spray venom from tiny holes, which was highly toxic. Its silk was incredibly sticky, making it difficult for even large beasts to escape. Moreover, because the silk was transparent, it was hard to detect; one could easily get caught in its web if not careful.
The Ghostface Spider was practically the top predator in Wormwood Forest. Even some Fifth-Grade Beasts could fall victim to it if caught off guard. Besides the Ghostface Spider, there were many elusive and varied poisonous insects present, which made it rare for beasts to willingly enter Wormwood Forest.
"Even if you have Yuanwu Ninth Level cultivation, you must not disturb too many Ghostface Spiders; otherwise, their overwhelming webs will leave you defenseless!" The warning from the Nine-Headed Blood Python echoed in Ye Feng's mind as he sat down quietly to recover his Spiritual Power consumed during his journey.
Maintaining Wind Treading Step required continuous consumption of Spiritual Power, while small spells like Wind Control Technique did not consume much power during operation after initial casting.
This was also a clear reason why spells were distinctly different from martial techniques.
"Once I enter Wormwood Forest, I can't move as quickly as before. If I fall into a web trap set by the Ghostface Spiders, it will be troublesome!"
After half an hour, once his Spiritual Power was fully restored, Ye Feng cautiously got up and headed toward what seemed to be the entrance of Wormwood Forest.
The moment he stepped into Wormwood Forest, Ye Feng sensed several faint auras locking onto him. Although these auras were weak, their sources were formidable. Most Demon Insects in Wormwood Forest contained potent toxins; those that were larger and easier to spot were relatively easier to defend against. What he feared most were those poisonous Demon Insects that resembled ordinary insects.
"Thousand-Legged Centipede, Nine-Eyed Spider, Bloodsucking Moth, Azure Venom Bee... and many other unnamed Demon Insects." Ye Feng expanded his Soul Thought and instantly grasped the movements of various Demon Insects hidden among the overgrown weeds.
Countless low-level Demon Insects regarded Ye Feng as a delicious lunch. It had been many years since any demon beasts appeared in Wormwood Forest, and Ye Feng's flesh and blood were a deadly temptation for these Demon Insects.
"Although these Demon Insects are weak, dealing with them requires some effort. I might as well try using Soul Thought to suppress them; it could yield good results!"
When a Qi Refining Practitioner reaches a certain level, their Soul Thought becomes exceptionally powerful. It is particularly effective against Demon Insects that may be strong but have relatively weak Divine Souls. When Ye Feng had just broken through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement, he had used it against the Winged Serpent Leader, which had frightened the opponent into immobility. Now, using it against these Demon Insects would be effortless.
Ye Feng let out a muffled groan as his Soul Thought manifested like a tangible force, transforming into thousands of blades that charged toward all the Demon Insects attempting to attack him.
"Chirp!" Strange cries echoed from the grass, and nearly all the Demon Insects were instantly terrified by Ye Feng's Soul Thought, scattering in all directions.
After unleashing his Soul Thought suppression, Ye Feng seemed to suddenly become an Avatar of the insect king, instilling no thought of resistance in them.
"Indeed effective! I just wonder if I can use this method of Soul Thought suppression to control the actions of these Demon Insects." While Ye Feng was delighted, a bizarre idea suddenly popped into his mind.
In fact, in the cultivation world on Earth, many cultivators used this method to control demon beasts and cultivate them into their own spirit beasts. However, demon beasts were scarce in the Earth cultivation world, and those that survived were mostly incredibly powerful. Only true high-level Qi Refining Practitioners could hope to control these beasts, which is why Ye Feng was unaware of this method.
Ye Feng's sudden inspiration coincidentally aligned with the Beastmaster Sect's secret technique for raising insects. The sect leader had utilized a method discovered from Ancient Ruins—a technique written by an Ancient Qi Refining Master. After making modifications and refining a set of methods specifically for cultivating Soul Thought, this leader gradually mastered the art of insect control.
