Chapter 456: Collecting the Crystals
It was expected that Qian Cheng would open the restrictions. Had Ye Yun wished, a single palm strike could have slain him. Yet Ye Yun harbored no intent to kill Qian Cheng. Even when confronting Jue Chen initially, he hadn’t planned to execute him. Jue Chen remained the young master of the Flying Star Sect—though inferior to the Divine Grace Palace, Ye Yun’s standing within his sect paled in comparison to Jue Chen’s influence.
Jue Chen’s sudden surge of strength had caught Ye Yun off guard. Without the defensive precious jade, even Ye Yun’s partially cultivated Great Demon Body couldn’t have withstood the Falling Star Style’s assault, which surpassed his current limits.
But having survived, Ye Yun’s murderous intent waned. He’d briefly debated slaughtering Jue Chen’s group. Though this restricted space within Thunder Falls Valley seemed isolated, who knew if Jue Chen hadn’t contacted other Flying Star Sect disciples? Ruthless action now might invite trouble during the remaining ten days.
Bold as he was, Ye Yun wasn’t reckless enough to challenge an entire sect at his current cultivation level.
With Jue Chen and Qian Cheng gone, Ye Yun turned to the two gravely injured Flying Star disciples. He flicked his wrist, and an invisible force yanked Zhang Yao, the Golden Core disciple, forward.
“Report your progress in extracting the space crystals.”
Zhang Yao hesitated, fear tightening his features.
Ye Yun arched a brow. “Seeking death? Your master abandoned you. Killing you costs me nothing.”
After a twitch of his cheek, Zhang Yao croaked, “You’ll spare us?”
“Why kill you?” Ye Yun smirked. “Your young master and I are old friends—we bonded instantly.”
*Friends?* Zhang Yao nearly spat. *Old friends don’t try murdering each other with sect-exclusive techniques like Falling Star Style!* But with his life in Ye Yun’s grasp, he complied: “The space crystals lie beneath this sand. Six restrictions guard them. We broke three; one’s located, the last two shift unpredictably.”
“Why the jumping earlier?”
“The fourth restriction rebounds force. Using Great Techniques risked damaging the crystal through backlash.”
Nodding, Ye Yun approached the site. Natural spatial arrays intrigued him—what others found complex, his grasp of pure spatial laws rendered transparent. Kneeling, he plunged his hand into the sand, true qi and mental intent probing.
The fourth restriction, relying on spatial crystal walls to reflect force, crumbled under Ye Yun’s precise manipulations within breaths—a task that had stymied Jue Chen’s group for hours.
Zhang Yao gaped. *How? A mere Foundation Establishment stage four cultivator dismantling spatial laws?*
Unperturbed, Ye Yun traced the two drifting restrictions. Their erratic orbits meant nothing to his spatial perception. Like untying knots, his true qi dissolved them.
The sand rippled. A translucent crystal emerged, pulsating with spatial energy.
“The space crystal!” Zhang Yao blurted. Studying it could elevate his Golden Core cultivation! But Ye Yun snatched the prize, storing it in his Thunder Sound Metamorphosis Ring.
The world shuddered. Yellow sand hardened into bedrock as thunderbolts clawed the sky—the natural spatial array collapsing harmlessly without its core.
The crystal secured, the array fell.
