Long-distance teleportation can be quite taxing, even for a warrior of the Gangwu Realm like Ye Feng. Although the power of his Divine Soul allows him to maintain a clear mind during the process, he still experiences a brief moment of unconsciousness as the teleportation concludes.
When he awakens from his stupor, Ye Feng immediately extends his Soul Thought to survey his surroundings. After confirming that there are no dangers, he lets out a heavy sigh of relief.
Before him lies a somewhat damp cave, shrouded in darkness, with the sound of waves crashing against rocks echoing from outside.
"By the sea?" Following the sound of the waves, Ye Feng maximizes his Soul Thought and finally grasps the general environment he is in.
The destination of the teleportation is within a mountain range not far from the coastline, with the cave located deep within the mountains, making it extremely secluded.
His fellow clansmen have yet to awaken from their unconsciousness. Although this teleportation did not inflict significant physical harm, it would undoubtedly have a strong impact on their Divine Souls. Ordinary warriors with weaker Divine Soul Power would need at least a full day and night to recover.
Since there is no immediate danger, Ye Feng decides not to forcibly awaken his clansmen; at this moment, proper rest is crucial for them.
On the ground is a complex pattern etched into the surface. As a cultivator, Ye Feng recognizes this as a Teleportation Array. Surrounding the array are five fist-sized stones that have shattered and scattered across the otherwise empty ground.
The stones appear unremarkable on the surface, but Ye Feng can sense traces of residual Spirit Energy emanating from them.
"Spirit Stones?" Ye Feng is somewhat surprised. The energy sustaining the Teleportation Array truly comes from Spirit Stones, which are only found in the cultivation world. However, the Spirit Energy within these stones has been completely depleted. It seems that Xuan Lao's earlier prediction was correct: the Teleportation Array can only be used once in one direction.
"If I could find new Spirit Stones to replenish it, perhaps I could restart the Teleportation Array," Ye Feng muses with a wry smile. This thought is merely wishful thinking; obtaining even one or two Spirit Stones in the Spirit Energy-depleted Divine Martial Continent is no easy task. Moreover, any Spirit Stones capable of supplying energy to such a large Teleportation Array would naturally be of high grade.
"I need to investigate the situation outside first and clarify our exact location. This place is very hidden, so safety should not be too much of an issue." After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng takes out paper and pen from his storage bag and writes a letter.
He places the letter in front of Ye Honglin in a conspicuous position.
Ye Honglin will likely be the first to awaken; upon seeing this letter, he should understand Ye Feng's intentions. Besides, Ye Feng only plans to scout briefly while keeping his clansmen within his Soul Thought sensing range. This way, if any danger arises, he can return immediately.
Having made all necessary preparations, Ye Feng turns and heads toward the cave entrance.
The interior of the cave is narrow and damp; passages twist and turn with numerous forks along the way. Fortunately, with his Soul Thought probing ahead, these forks do not hinder him. Unbeknownst to him, Ye Feng gradually approaches the exit as the sound of crashing waves grows increasingly louder outside.
A glimmer of light finally appeared ahead, and Ye Feng couldn't help but quicken his pace, moving swiftly and leaving behind a series of afterimages as he shot out from the cave.
The sound of crashing waves echoed around him, and before his eyes lay a vast expanse of blue, with a hint of saltiness in the air that was refreshing.
The coastline stretched endlessly, disappearing into the horizon. Below the rugged mountain path was a shimmering silver beach adjacent to the sea, with fine white sand scattered at the foot of the mountain, complementing the azure surface of the water.
Looking up towards the left side of the cave entrance, the mountains rolled on, eventually leading into a lush forest.
"This place is desolate and uninhabited. I wonder if it belongs to the Eastern Continent. Perhaps I should return to the cave first to protect my people, just in case something unexpected happens." After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng was about to turn back when a sudden wave of inexplicable unease washed over him.
"Someone's here!" Earlier, he had only conducted a brief scan and found no one nearby. Now, as he retracted his Soul Thought to envelop an area within ten feet around him, his sensing ability greatly improved. He quickly discovered several martial artists hiding below the cave entrance.
These martial artists were at around the middle stage of Martial Realm and appeared exceptionally cautious, seemingly inching closer to Ye Feng's location. However, due to a protruding rock wall below the cave entrance, they had not noticed Ye Feng's presence.
Furrowing his brow slightly and considering for a moment, Ye Feng concluded that these Martial Realm warriors posed no threat to him. He felt there was no need to drive them away or expose his whereabouts before understanding their intentions.
Just as he hesitated on how to deal with these low-level intruders, suddenly, massive waves surged from the distant sea, accompanied by the sound of crashing waves. Soon after, three enormous figures wrapped in seawater burst forth from the surface at incredible speed, creating towering columns of water!
The martial artists below the cave entrance immediately became restless; Ye Feng could faintly hear the sound of swords being drawn.
Two figures darted straight toward the martial artists below the cave entrance, while another figure with an even more formidable presence and greater speed locked onto Ye Feng as its target.
Ye Feng's heart sank slightly because that massive figure's strength was comparable to that of a Peak Ninth Level Yuan Martial Realm warrior.
The figure charged toward him at high speed, and Ye Feng sneered coldly. With a leap, he soared out from the cave entrance, narrowly avoiding the collision with that figure.
In the next moment, a thunderous crash erupted at the cave entrance as debris tumbled down and clouds of dust filled the air.
The gaze focused, and Soul Thought firmly locked onto the front. After the dust settled, a ten-meter-long, nearly three-meter-high Ao-type demon beast gradually revealed its form.
"Sea Demon?" Upon seeing the appearance of the beast, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of fear.
As the name suggests, Sea Demons are beasts that live in the sea. Ye Feng had encountered many land beasts, but this was his first encounter with a Sea Demon, which inevitably left him somewhat astonished.
"It is said that the area of the Endless Sea far exceeds that of the Divine Martial Continent, and the variety of sea beasts is hundreds of times greater than that of land beasts. Most of them possess immense strength; even experts from the Xuanwu Realm dare not casually enter the Endless Sea!"
The Ao-type demon beast before him had most of its body tucked inside an oval-shaped giant shell, resembling an enormous turtle magnified dozens of times.
Its limbs, as thick as barrels, gripped tightly onto the mountainside. The triangular head slowly emerged from the shell, with blue eyes the size of bells spinning around. The head swayed lightly, shaking off the dust that clung to it.
After adjusting its posture, Giant Ao raised its head and glanced at Ye Feng not far away, seemingly puzzled by its own miscalculation in this encounter.
"Very well, I'll use you to test my newly mastered Light Splitting Sword Technique!" Ye Feng slowly drew out the Azure Dragon Sword, smiling lightly and preparing to strike when suddenly a series of intense sounds erupted from below.
Soul Thought swept out, and Ye Feng discovered that the five martial artists at the foot of the mountain were simply too weak; they were no match for the two serpent-type demon beasts and were on the verge of losing their lives.
"These people should be local martial artists; perhaps I can learn some information about the area from them." Ye Feng had initially not intended to intervene, but considering that his family needed to find a suitable place to reside nearby, these martial artists might be helpful. Thus, he hesitated no longer. Ignoring Giant Ao beside him, he activated Thunder True Essence and shot down like lightning.
The display of his Gangwu Realm strength immediately startled the five below and the Two-Headed Serpent Sea Monster. Realizing Ye Feng's power, both Sea Demons wisely abandoned the five and turned to flee toward the ocean.
As for Giant Ao, which was enraged by being ignored by Ye Feng, it initially intended to intercept him but abruptly halted mid-flight, fear evident in its eyes. Like the two serpent-type demons, it turned tail and fled.
"The intelligence of Sea Demons is indeed much higher than that of ordinary beasts!" Ye Feng was slightly taken aback as he observed the three demon beasts split into two groups to escape. With his current strength, it would not be difficult to capture them all. However, considering he needed to protect his kin inside the cave, Ye Feng decided against pursuing Giant Ao and instead targeted the noticeably slower serpent-type Sea Demons.
Without needing any special footwork, Ye Feng propelled himself using True Essence and quickly caught up with the Two-Headed Serpent Sea Monster over a hundred meters away. With a casual swing of his Azure Dragon Sword, he unleashed a light strike.
With just one slash, two beams of sword light suddenly erupted in mid-air and flashed past the heads of the Two-Headed Serpent Sea Monster in an instant.
Two-Headed Serpent Sea Monster Unable to suppress its inertia, the body continued to surge forward, while its head rolled onto the ground, staining a large area of the beach red.
"Wow... so strong. As expected of a Gangwu Realm senior, to kill two Fifth-Order Sea Demons with just one strike!"
The strength classification of Sea Demons is similar to that of ordinary beasts on land, with a Fifth-Order Sea Demon being equivalent to a warrior around the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm, making them quite difficult to deal with. Before breaking through to the Gangwu Realm, Ye Feng also needed to expend considerable effort to defeat them.
"It's not just his cultivation; his swordsmanship Martial Technique is incredibly profound. He clearly only swung his sword once, yet he was able to unleash two sword lights!" A Middle-Aged Warrior holding a long sword exclaimed in astonishment. Although his own strength was not high, he had some understanding of sword techniques.
Ye Feng waved his hand and collected the inner cores of the two Sea Demons. He glanced at the Giant Ao that had retreated into the air above the sea, chuckled lightly, and turned back to face the five warriors.
Faced with Ye Feng from the Gangwu Realm, the five were filled with fear; they had no courage to resist or even flee.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" Ye Feng asked in an extremely calm tone.
"So young!" It was only at this moment that they clearly saw Ye Feng's appearance and were taken aback. They could hardly imagine that this senior from the Gangwu Realm looked like just a teenager in his teens.
"Young Hero, please calm down. We are merely villagers from Qingyang Village. We saw a burst of five-colored clouds rising from this Summit, thinking there might be some treasure appearing, so we rushed here from the village. We didn't expect it to be the closed-off area of Young Hero. We hope you can show mercy and spare our lives."
