Chu Zhiyuan utilized the Flood Dragon Pearl's lightning to penetrate the Taiqing Primordial Sect's defenses, gaining insight into its inner workings. He absorbed the sect's valley, transferring it and its inhabitants to the Jade Sea and Sky. This act drew the attention of the Little Cyan Bird, which attacked him. Chu Zhiyuan then escaped with the Elephant Beast, pursued by the Little Cyan Bird through multiple locations.

Chu Zhiyuan and the Elephant Beast moved again twice, and when there were only three cracks left, he reached out and snatched them, causing them to vanish in his palm.

The tail of the Elephant Beast tightly wrapped around Chu Zhiyuan’s left shoulder, completely motionless.

Only when it saw them disappear, the tail loosened its grip on his left shoulder and began to shake quickly.

A startled exclamation echoed in his mind: "That was close! Too close!"

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "This little creature’s destructive power is quite strong."

"Almost lost my life!" the Elephant Beast yelled, "You’re too daring!"

"I had confidence," Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "When it involves space manipulation, I’m not afraid."

"Hmph," the Elephant Beast snorted twice but didn’t argue.

The fact is undeniable; he indeed excels in Void manipulation, even common Divine Race members don’t possess this ability.

Chu Zhiyuan felt his spiritual power continuously soaring.

Derived from the changes within the Jade Sea and Sky inside the Lao Gong Acupoint.

Heavenly Yuan Technique, Earth Origin Technique, Human Element Skill – these Three Formulas finally no longer cultivated separately but merged into the Heaven and Earth inside the Lao Gong Acupoint.

He already understood the cultivation principle of the Taiqing Primordial Sect: Recreate Heaven and Earth.

Before seeing these two Divine Characters, he only had a rough guess.

After seeing these two Divine Characters, he finally confirmed his assumption.

Taiqing Primordial Sect, what is Yuan, it’s the initial One Origin.

What is Taiching, it’s Taiching Qi.

Taiching Qi, One Origin starts, recreating Heaven and Earth.

The more real and substantial this Heaven and Earth is, the deeper the realm of the Three Elements Technique.

After absorbing everything from the valley of Taiqing Primordial Sect, especially the two Divine Character steles, the Jade Sea and Sky within the Lao Gong Acupoint already have the embryonic form of the Court.

Laid down a true foundation.

Unlike before, it was just a castle in the air, no matter how much Strange Stones and Abnormal Energy were absorbed, it was just a castle built upon a castle, ultimately limited in improvement.

With a solid foundation, absorbing Strange Stones and Abnormal Energy will result in a rapid advance.

This time, the harvest was beyond his imagination.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Want to see a good place?"

The Jade Sea and Sky inside the Lao Gong Acupoint has already come alive, truly having the embryonic form of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, living things can survive.

"What place?" the Elephant Beast said, "Not going to a dangerous place!"

"It’s my own place, others can’t come in."

"Your cave?"

"Haha... you could say so," Chu Zhiyuan said, "Want to go in and take a look?"

"Is it dangerous or not?"

"Naturally, it’s extremely safe."

"Alright," the Elephant Beast said, "But I won’t follow you outside, I’ll stay here, there’s nowhere as good as my own place."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Won’t you get too bored staying here?"

"I think it’s pretty good."

"You can see through danger, staying here, isn’t it a waste of your pair of Miao Eyes?"

"I’d rather not use these eyes."

"Isn’t staying here also not so tranquil?" Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "It’s actually quite dangerous here."

With the Divine Eye, he sees the past and future, and this place is not peaceful.

There are many Strange Beasts, many are predators and don’t stay in one place.

The Elephant Beast is strong, but it also has natural enemies.

Those aerial predators are dangerous without arrays for concealment.

It always stays within the array, even inside the formation there are many caves set up to escape pursuers.

Especially here, near Dragon Mountain, the Strange Beasts of Dragon Mountain occasionally come out, which is extremely dangerous.

If the Elephant Beast didn’t have the Miao Eye to foresee and avoid, it would have been devoured long ago.

"I’m familiar with this place, it’s my territory."

"You go there, it’s also your territory, come on, let’s go in and take a look."

"..." The Elephant Beast stared at him, its pupils narrowed into golden lines.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at it.

"Hmph, let’s go," the Elephant Beast’s eyes returned to round and bright.

Chu Zhiyuan gently placed his right hand on it.

The Elephant Beast felt a flicker in front of its eyes, quite similar to the previous Void manipulation.

A world appeared before him, with a sky as clear as washed, and a vast sea like emerald.

The Spiritual Energy was rich and pure, and it appeared on a mountain, seeing the Dragon Tree beside it.

The Dragon Tree was emitting a thick aura, integrating with the surrounding trees.

The surrounding trees seemed to be absorbing the aura the Dragon Tree emitted.

It leaped onto the Dragon Tree, feeling the strange aura penetrating its body.

Suddenly, its body heated slightly, as if becoming stronger by a bit.

Instantly, it was invigorated, lying still on the Dragon Tree.

It could recognize the strange aura of the Dragon Tree but wouldn’t dare go to Dragon Mountain. Yet here, without feeling danger, it could enjoy the benefits of the Dragon Tree.

Chu Zhiyuan’s voice echoed in its mind, chuckling as he spoke, "How is it?"

"Where is this?" the Elephant Beast, while absorbing the aura of the Dragon Tree, surveyed its surroundings.

"My place," Chu Zhiyuan’s voice resonated in its mind.

Then the Elephant Beast realized it didn’t need to contact or even see Chu Zhiyuan to have an intuitive connection.

It became increasingly curious about this place.

Soon after, it recalled where this was.

It saw how Chu Zhiyuan absorbed the Dragon Tree and the entire valley of Taiqing Primordial Sect.

Previously curious about where they were moved, seeing now, they were transferred here.

It stared around in amazement at towering peaks stretching to the horizon.

The Jade Sea was boundless, connecting with the sky.

A crimson sun hung high in the sky like a fireball, illuminating all directions.

This was an expansive world, but compared to its original world, it lacked a sense of weightiness and age.

Everything felt fresh, as if all things were newly beginning, in early spring.

Chu Zhiyuan’s voice echoed in its mind again: "There’s not as much danger here. Isn’t it nice?"

Suddenly, the Elephant Beast dashed out, galloping across the Spiritual Abyss Twelve Peaks.

An hour later, it landed back on a Dragon Tree, continuing to absorb aura to strengthen itself.

After galloping for an hour, it barely managed to see across the twelve mountain peaks.

The mountains surrounding the peaks couldn’t be fully traversed.

Let alone the distant horizon, with endless mountain ranges that seem never-ending, they can’t be fully seen.

It crouched on the Dragon Tree, its tail gently swaying.

"How is it?" Chu Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

"A bit boring," the Elephant Beast replied.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Looks like I’ll have to find some opponents for you to come in."

"Hmph."

"Shall we go back?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "You can come whenever you want."

"... I’ll stay for a while," the Elephant Beast said.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Alright, I’ll head back first. When you’re bored here, just let me know."

The Elephant Beast shook its tail, closed its eyes, and remained still, immersed in absorbing and transforming the Abnormal Energy.

Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the sky.

In the next moment, a White Dragon slowly manifested around him.

With a gentle guide of his hand, the White Dragon coiled around him, becoming clearer and more real.

This was the condensation of Divine Essence.

Unknowingly, the Cloud Dragon Fist had improved another level.

Simultaneously, his realm had also advanced to the Fifth Transitions.

The breakthrough was smooth, no need for forced advancements or secluded practices, it was natural.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but laugh.

In the next moment, he reappeared at the foot of Dragon Mountain, looking at Dragon Mountain.

The Elephant Beast suddenly appeared, glanced around bewildered, then flicked its tail in frustration.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Could I move the entire Dragon Mountain in?"

"Are you insane?" the Elephant Beast yelled, "There are many Strange Beasts!"

"It doesn’t matter if they go in; they won’t harm you."

"Will they listen to you?"

"They don’t listen now, but once inside, they naturally will."

"Then I’m not going in!" the Elephant Beast snorted.

Once those Strange Beasts are inside, they all have to listen to him, so wouldn’t it be the same for himself?

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "We are naturally different, you’re helping me, keeping an eye out."

As he spoke, he crouched down and touched the ground with both hands.
