Leaving the Red Hall, Chu Yunyi was pulled by Jiang Yuesheng and others to a high-end club, drinking, dining, playing cards, and chatting, returning to the Chu Family only in the deep of night.
He waved away the servant who ca to help him change clothes, and Chu Yunyi went straight into his bedroom.
The mont the door closed, his face, slightly flushed from alcohol, instantly turned pale. The intense headache overwheld him, and Chu Yunyi slid down to sit on the floor against the door.
"Cough—!"
He coughed up a mouthful of clotted blood, but before the bloodstains hit the ground, the Wind Blade rolled it into a blood mist, flying out the window and dissipating in the cold moonlight without leaving a trace.
"Hoo—" Chu Yunyi took several deep breaths until the faint feeling subsided a bit, then took out the Divine Return Drink from the space button and gulped it down.
The dicine entered his abdon, a cool sensation rose in his mind, and Chu Yunyi closed his eyes, enjoying the montary comfort brought by the Divine Return Drink.
Due to forcibly mobilizing spiritual power at the auction, he was injured further, pushing his Spirit Sea to the brink of collapse.
At this mont, his spiritual power was like raging waves in the sea, uncontrollably tossing and ravaging, causing Chu Yunyi much suffering. Fortunately, the Super Grade dicine worked quickly, and after drinking the potion, Chu Yunyi’s breathing gradually steadied.
In the dark room, the handso young man sat leaning against the door, as if asleep, the moonlight falling on his face through the window, adding a sense of fragntation.
Ti ticked away, until the moon ascended to the zenith, and Chu Yunyi finally opened his eyes slowly, a trace of vitality returning to his gaze.
Looking at the empty dicine bottle in his hand, Chu Yunyi sighed lightly.
Ever since his first Spirit Sea upheaval in childhood, he regularly consud Ning Yu’s Divine Return Drink, though its effectiveness diminished with ti. It’s not the dicine’s fault, but that his spiritual power would inexplicably surge explosively every so often.
The Spirit Sea repaired by the Divine Return Drink would be burst by the surge, then he’d drink the potion to repair it, and the cycle repeated. His overwhelming spiritual power compared to others entirely stemd from this constant cycle of destruction and recreation.
He coincidentally encountered a spiritual power surge on the day of visiting the Second Legion’s fortress; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the capability to construct the super-large Killing Array.
Though the surging spiritual power was consud, his Spirit Sea still suffered backlash from the Killing Array, resulting in cracks.
Lately, most of the spiritual power replenished by consuming Spirit Fruits has leaked away through the cracks in the Spirit Sea. And the consequence of continuous dication intervention is that the spiritual power becos more violent and uncontrollable.
If not for tily acquiring the Divine Return Drink, Chu Yunyi would soon have been driven completely insane due to the agitation of his spiritual power.
The interval between the spiritual power surges is becoming shorter, and Chu Yunyi estimates the next surge won’t exceed two years.
Ning Yu can no longer refine Super Grade Divine Return Drinks, and the last remaining potion was just consud by him. If a substitute dicine cannot be found within two years, he’d rather end himself than beco a madman who loses all reason.
Chu Yunyi raised his hand, tossing the dicine bottle, and before it hit the ground, shattered it into powder with Wind Blade, a decisive cold smile forming at his lips.
If life can’t be sustained, let it freeze at its most glorious mont!

Once Li Xing confird with Divine Sense that Ye Qingting, Cui Tianxiao, and Qi Ming were asleep, she swiftly set up dual Shielding Arrays in the room and took out the Glazed Hand Bracelet.
Eighteen pearl-sized beads lay in the girl’s fair palm, appearing dirty and unseemly. Each bead emitted a rich Chaos Qi, and Li Xing’s Top Grade Spiritual Pendant responded with a buzzing hum, suggesting similarity in material and crafting thod.
Li Xing boldly speculated that this bracelet was a magic artifact from the sa era as the Top Grade Spiritual Pendant of the cultivation world, for so unknown reason ending up in the Qianyuan Continent, found by soone like her also stranded here.
With the example of the Top Grade Spiritual Pendant before her, Li Xing cautiously released a bit of Chaos Qi to envelop the bracelet.
Phenona occurred, the bracelet suddenly soared, suspended in mid-air, the eighteen beads quivering together, emitting a buzzing sound.
The golden thread binding the beads broke first, then the accumulated gri on the beads rapidly peeled away under vibration, revealing the bracelet’s true appearance.
Eighteen erald green semi-transparent Glazed Pearls emitted a lustrous glow. Without the binding of the golden thread, the beads didn’t scatter, but instead more compactly coalesced into a ring, appearing much more natural than before.
It seed the bracelet’s original form was self-aggregating, not forcibly bound by external ans.
With its true form revealed, the bracelet fell into Li Xing’s palm. She turned the beads, murmuringly reading small, antiquated characters engraved atop:
"Thousand Leaf Search Kill Array Pearl."
It’s precisely because of these exclusive cultivation world characters that Li Xing could determine the bracelet as a treasure left by a cultivator, going to great lengths to secure it without Divine Sense inspection.
As the na suggests, these eighteen Glazed Pearls constitute the core of an array nad Thousand Leaf Search Kill Array. One pearl bore two particularly faint characters that Li Xing had to recognize with Divine Sense.
"Cliff Hidden?"
In the Qianyuan history lessons Li Xing learned, there was never any ntion of Cliff Hidden, so is it the creator’s na, or an organization or sect?
The bracelet was unearthed from an ancient tomb dating back over nine thousand years, from the Celestial Departure era, and it’s uncertain if there’s any historical record left.
Carefully probing the Glazed Pearls with Divine Sense, unexpectedly upon contact, a terrifying suction force erged from the beads, pulling Li Xing towards them. Li Xing barely had ti to think "bad," before everything went black before her eyes.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself surrounded by mist, unable to discern directions, with no sight of sun, moon, or stars, yet so strange faint light allowed her to see the scenes clearly.
Suddenly, a beast’s sorrowful roar sounded behind her, and Li Xing spun around in shock, only to see a colossal horned rhinoceros beast erging from the mist centiters away, its horn instantly piercing through her chest.
Li Xing shut her eyes in despair, but the expected pain did not co. It was then she realized her body, like the rhinoceros beast, was ethereal.
Countless Star Beasts erged from the mist, like the rhinoceros beast, charging forward recklessly, and Li Xing, curious about what lay ahead, tightly followed the rumbling beast pack, desperately sprinting ahead.
She didn’t know how long she had been running when suddenly the mist cleared, revealing a vast prairie. Countless misty Star Beasts emitted terrifying roars, launching an all-out attack on an area of open ground.
With keen vision, Li Xing spotted a graceful woman in white, dwarfed like an ant before the massive Star Beasts, in the center surrounded heavily by the beasts.
Despite the imnse size disparity, the woman facing the beast tide showed no fear, eighteen green beads whirled in front of her like a tornado, shielding her and keeping the Star Beasts at bay a hundred ters away.
Any Star Beast attempting to breach the boundary had its head crushed by the beads.
