Zhao Hai wanted to turn the page of the book, but he found he couldn't move it at all. He immediately asked, "…Chronicle Record Codex, why can't I turn the pages?"
The Chronicle Record Codex replied promptly, "Young Master, this cultivation method is very special. With your current strength, you can only learn the first layer. If you force yourself to look at the second layer, it may harm your body. Little Codex suggests that you don't look at the second layer's content."
Zhao Hai was taken aback for a moment and nodded, saying, "Fine, then I'll just look at this layer."
After saying that, Zhao Hai carefully read through the cultivation method, pondering its profound intricacies. The more he read, the more he felt that the method was ever-changing and had endless uses, but it was also incredibly complex.
After a good while, Zhao Hai began to practice. He had basically understood all the content of the first layer, but practicing it was still very difficult. This cultivation method was far more complicated than the one he had learned before—he couldn't even begin to imagine how complex the later layers would be.
Originally, Zhao Hai felt that his strength was already considerable, but through practicing this cultivation method, he realized that he was still far from strong enough.
The energy within his body was originally blue, but after practicing this method, Zhao Hai noticed that the energy was gradually transforming into a bright silver color, flashing and resembling starlight.
Not only had the energy transformed, but it had also been compressed, becoming much denser. If the original energy in Zhao Hai's body was just a blue mist, now it had transformed into bright silver liquid, at least ten times more solid than before.
As the energy within him transformed, Zhao Hai discovered that the spatial repulsion he felt had actually diminished. This left him puzzled; he was certain that his abilities had increased at least tenfold, so why had the spatial repulsion decreased?
As Zhao Hai thought about these matters, the blood energy in his body surged restlessly. Surprised, Zhao Hai quickly focused and fully converted the energy within him.
He didn't know how long had passed, but eventually, the energy in his body completed its transformation and started circulating according to the route of the first layer of the starry transformation yin-yang technique. Only then did Zhao Hai let out a breath and slowly open his eyes.
Upon opening his eyes, Zhao Hai was momentarily stunned because the room had darkened. Unable to resist, he turned to look outside the window and found that it had turned dark outside as well.
As he turned his head, he heard a delighted voice exclaim from beside him, "Brother Hai, you're awake!" Zhao Hai turned to see it was Berry.
Zhao Hai was taken aback and looked at Berry in confusion, "Berry, when did you come back? Are your tribe members doing well?"
Berry smiled and replied, "Brother Hai, I've been back for two days. My tribe is doing well. I won't be going back this time; I've already arranged everything in the tribe."
Hearing Berry say this, Zhao Hai was surprised. "You've been back for two days? How come I didn't know? Also, what's going on outside?"
Berry jumped onto Zhao Hai's side and said, "Of course you didn't know! You’ve been practicing for almost three days. When it got dark, it turned dark outside too, and there are stars—so beautiful!"
Zhao Hai nodded, knowing that this might be related to the spatial upgrade, so he didn't think much of it. He looked at Berry and asked, "What's wrong? Were you worried about me?"
Berry nodded, "Yes, very worried. But I knew you would be fine. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this here. Sister Laura and the others went to rest; yesterday, Meigen was here keeping watch over you, and today it’s my turn."
Zhao Hai nodded, "It's good that nothing's wrong. How is the situation in the space?"
Berry smiled, "It's excellent! Cai'er has already set up time acceleration zones in all spaces, and the universal machine and analysis machine have completed their upgrades. Fifty ordinary spaces have been purchased, and we haven't bought ten low-level cultivation spaces yet; we are waiting for your decision."
