Manstein then realized that the spatial shake caused the shockwave, which reached even the outside. This would be the biggest tremor the beasts in the forest had ever experienced.

And for the culprit who tried to remove the roots of the fountain, both of them still undergone the process. Just from the energy that radiated in and around the fountain indicated the clash between huge powers.

Wang Yu saw the root lifted albeit slowly, following with it the golden dragon that kept circling around. In the process, he had used seventy percent of his entire energy even when he had meant to restore his energy.

His Nirvana Energy had almost depleted completely just to let the root out of the ground. As for Hou Fei, his face that already full of wrinkles now had to add that number again.

The similar things they had must be their tired condition.

“No wonder this fountain is in the Ranked Treasure from the past. Just to remove it from its previous location take a great toll on our energy reserve.” Hou Fei commented.

The Ranked Treasure was the term used by the people to the item that had its own history as well as their own magical abilities and effects. There were many theories regarding the creation of the treasure.

“But remember, this the Tenth Ranked Treasure ‘Forbidden Fountain’. The first ten treasures have its own difficulties just to locate them and it is harder to get it.” While stabilizing the speed of the lifting roots, Wang Yu replied.

“Mix it with the honey so that the energy membrane will protect you from spatial turbulence.” Ye Yingyuan then placed the yellow honey on his right hand while holding a pill that radiated Nascent Energy.

“Little Yuan, do you know why we should consume this?” when Ye Qingcheng felt the presence of those beasts decreasing, he felt joy. But that moment did not last for long because the tremor continued again.

“Spatial Distortion! This is bad, what are we going to do?” feeling space trembled with such intensity made Yue recalled the sensation when she experienced it for the first time.

“Could it be the mixture of the honey and the pill give us the protection from the spatial distortion force?”

Then, a yellow bubble appeared around Ye Yingyuan and the area in the bubble was free from the tremor. After seeing that, the rest of them also consumed the honey together with the pill.

“Is this what Elder Sister Wu had to make previously so that we can prepare ourselves for the spatial distortion?” seeing the immediate effect had taken itself in Ye Yingyuan made Li Ling recalled what Wu Qing had said before.

“So that’s why Elder Sister told us not to disturb her. Then all of this was planned since the beginning right?” when he realized that every moment since they started their journey had been calculated to this extent, Ye Xiaobai concluded that only someone that lived long enough had the capabilities to do this.

“True, but there will be something for you all to remember from this point onward. We will travel through the spatial distortion because once this tremor ends, they will return to this place and we will not be able to get out.”

The sentence from the mouth of Theresa made all of them terrified.

“But this is a spatial distortion! Even with the protection of this bubble, we can’t say for sure that the spatial distortion itself is safe.” Said Ye Xiaobai objected.

“Is it really dangerous when we travel inside spatial distortion?” because of his lack of knowledge, Ye Qingcheng suddenly asked while turning his head to Ye Xiaobai.

“Cousin, only those that have the special artifact or the cultivation of Nascent Soul and above can survive inside spatial distortion. And other than Elder Sister Wu, who can still alive after we enter it?”

Ye Xiaobai could not help but pat that large shoulder of his cousin while holding his urge to laugh. It was because he knew that ignorance can be cured with learning and experience it with yourself.

Seeing the scene of two relative speaking about a topic made Yue sighed. As for Ye Yingyuan, he really took notice of what Ye Xiaobai had said.

‘Experience. My cousin has more experience outside while I and Big Brother have not any.’ The more Ye Yingyuan thought about it, the more scared he becomes. If this was the first thing he had to face outside then what about when he encountered another human, another cultivator?

-

A massive force came to all direction, sweeping away anything that stands in its way. The force came from the space separated from the world.

From the perspective of Wang Yu, a fountain with abundant energy floated above his hands. He could feel the entire black liquid the fountain possessed, flowing slowly and accumulated at the base.

“I can’t believe it...” Wang Yu just stared at the little miniature form of the fountain on his palm, his eyes as if lost focus just blankly stared at that object.

“Do you get it?” Manstein only knew that Forbidden Fountain possessed immerse secrets in it. After all the efforts and hard works they had done for a full day, they finally got their hands on the fountain.

“Yes. How about Nightstalker King? Did someone deal with him?” Wang Yu actually only cared about the information he lacked.

“Oh about that, see what I got in this jar!” Manstein then revealed a jar which surface was so transparent that one could see the content it held.

“Damn you, get me out this instant!” protested a little figure that kept jumping around inside the jar. Seeing this made Wang Yu opened his eyes wide.

He could see the part of Vajra Turtle formation around the jar, sealing the jar with its power. As for the jar itself, it was completely normal and even the material it contained was ordinary.

“If we want to know about the event...” Manstein rolled his eyes, avoiding eye contact with Wang Yu. Wang Yu then sneered because he knew what exactly had happened.

“Well, he basically delivered himself to be trapped. Who in the world will miss such a chance? So when it was the forty hundred somewhere attempt, I just test the water and who would have thought that he directly enter the spider’s web, unable to free.”

“You! If not for you and your group...” the more he heard about the recent event which was basically a face slapping moment in his life, Nightstalker King enraged with all its might but it was basically useless.

“How did you do it?”

“Just using the formation to imprison someone is more than enough for Vajra Turtle formation. The jar itself is a manifestation of the formation.” Manstein replied softly while looking pitifully at the little figure.

“Turning the formation into things!” Wang Yu remembered it. Even Coiling Dragon Formation did not escape this characteristic.

There were many formations that could manifest itself into the thing the creator desired or from the material to create the formation. But to do that, only someone with capabilities to truly assemble the formation itself could do that.

“Because I will surely lack power, why don’t I increase my own experience, knowledge as well as proficiency?”

To begin with, Manstein had limited his own talent by devouring many kinds of energy. This, in turn, reducing his latent talent at absorbing energy to cultivate. To reduce the burden from lacking power, he started off by learning formation.

And he did not forget to read the manuals regarding other aspects of the topic around alchemy, sealmaster, and many other kinds.

“But first, let’s return to the city.” Wang Yu then pointed towards an entrance to the wormhole. Different from the spatial distortion, the wormhole was far safer but at the same time, it was more attentive.

“Then only with the power of the formation alone, will we defend ourselves?”

Not only they had to maintain the opening of both the entrance and the exit but also their own safety. Those beasts had high chance to enter the wormhole rather than the spatial distortion.

“Sadly, that is our duty to ensure the safety of the Yellow Bees colony, there is no faster solution than this.” Wang Yu raised his arms in resignation.

“Shall we go now?” from the entrance of the wormhole that the formation had created, Hou Fei was waiting for them.

And of course, those two nodded their heads. Ater that, they entered the hole while bringing the fountain with them. But at the same time, the fountain entered the wormhole, the last barrier which protected the royal chamber in the hive truly disappeared!

“Ha!” with her hands holding the arm of the throne, Theresa channeled all of her energy as well as her original power.

The hive trembled, the tremor caused the sensation of being swayed on the boat became more real with the increasing intensity.

But then the hive suddenly disappeared without giving any beings chance to react! For those beasts that gained intelligence, this was a blessing. They avoided a calamity to themselves!

“Did you see the leader of your kind?” when they saw the hive disappeared, the first thing they would consider to do was looking for their respective leader to get the orders. It was really tragic because they could not even have their own initiative to move on their own.

Unfortunately, spatial distortion was really no joke as it caused tremendous pressure upon entering it.

That was what the group inside the hive experienced now. The pressure was more or less the same as when someone enters the depth of the ocean, feeling the water pressure took its act. It felt as if the entire environment was pushing you from all direction, giving you no chance to counter it all.

“Hmm..” but for Ye Qingcehng, this was like when he was beneath the waterfall every time he trains himself. He felt completely comfortable and even humming with satisfication.

But as for the rest of them, even with the additional protection of the yellow bubble would not make the pressure gone just like that.

“Is this an opportunity?” Ye Yingyuan asked. But as for who he asked, there was only someone that reacted after he said it.

“Perhaps, perhaps not. But when you see the opportunity, will you just pass it like that?” replied Theresa. Of course, she was the one who arranged all of the possibilities and from the results, her efforts had born fruit.

“What are you talking about?” oblivious to the matter made Ye Xiaobai asked in confusion as he raised his brows, looking at his cousin with interest.

Then after hearing such a question, Yue giggled softly. She had never expected for him to not know about such matter. Even Ye Yingyuan looked at him in disbelief as his mouth opened as large as an egg.

“What!? Why are you laughing at me? Tell me please!” the feeling of ignorance was the most dreaded feelings when the others know about it while only yourself was left in the dark. This made Ye Xiaobai wanted to know what they were talking about!

“This pressure, if I’m not wrong then this should be enough to let someone temper their body. How can you not know about body cultivation?” said Ye Qingcheng.

“This...” it was at this moment that Ye Xiaobai knew he had turned himself into a stupid fellow who was rather ignorant of an important matter. Not only that but he showed it deliberately as if it was the most precious treasure he had ever found.

And for that reason alone, the rest of them laughed up a lot.

“Alright, let’s stop it for now. I really want to know about her. Anyone care to explain?” Wu Qing had the sudden interest towards the female beside Ye Xiaobai.

“Truthfully, I’m here just for this man.” Said Yue with her face did not show any change at all. But everyone stared at the two of them with a strange expression.

“Explain it in detail please!” if she really only said that then Ye Xiaobai would feel that something was very, very wrong just from that exclamation alone. Just thinking about it made him restless.

“I really mean it.” Said Yue while grinning, showing her eyes that narrowed towards Ye Xiaobai.

“Oh, really? Then for what reason did you travel so far just to get him? This is not an urgent matter for you isn’t it?” Wu Qing tried to probe a little bit but when one thought about it for a moment, the sudden appearance of someone new made something feels wrong somewhere.

“I know, there’s something strange about her circumstances. Just remember that her first appearance was when the tide of those beasts rise, she aimed me as her target.”

Ye Xiaobai could not completely explain it to them. And the discussion was also a good diversion from the suffering they felt now.

“Do you think that there is a connection between Sister Yue and Ye Xiaobai?” asked Li Ling to Ye Yingyuan. The boy looked at the two with his full attention, from their eyes, facial expression and even the words they let out.

“There is. But maybe it is more personal so I don’t want to ask Cousin unless he tells me. This is what I can catch.”

‘Ah, body cultivation. Even if I circulate it to all my body, why is it that the difference between me and my brother is too distant?’ Ye Yingyuan thought that since the Qi could also strengthen the body parts then subconsciously it would cultivate the body too.

“Then what is the difference between normal cultivation and body cultivation?” Ye Yingyuan somehow was also infected by the thirst for knowledge Manstein had.

‘Elder Brother, you really made me addicted to this feeling of knowing more things!’
