Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the sky, two streaks of light darted past; it was Qin Chen and You Qianxue. "I wonder where Chen Sisi is? How long do we have to keep searching like this?" You Qianxue said, feeling a bit anxious.
Qin Chen also felt helpless. Just at this time, the Qi-devouring ants had all fallen asleep. This place was so vast, and searching like this was truly not a good strategy. However, at the moment, Qin Chen had no other means and could only activate the Qian Kun Creation Jade Disc to sense the movements within a hundred miles.
After searching for two days like this, You Qianxue had consumed all five of the Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits she had. Buzz, the spatial aura within her body became more solid, and a sharp spatial essence spread out. "Chen Shao, I feel that the power of the ten Spatial Laws within me has been refined to perfection; I can totally begin to refine the eleventh Spatial Law now," You Qianxue said excitedly.
"Looks like you should be able to try to break through to the mid-stage Martial Emperor," Qin Chen smiled slightly. Generally, a newly established Martial Emperor needs a considerable amount of time to stabilize after refining the ten Spatial Laws to a sufficient degree. The Spatial Law is different from others; it cannot be continuously refined but needs constant consolidation. If one were to forcefully continue refining without stabilizing, while it could still succeed, it would have a huge impact on future breakthroughs, resulting in an unstable foundation.
Now that You Qianxue had such a feeling, it indicated that the power of the Spatial Laws within her had reached its peak, and she could attempt to advance to the mid-stage Martial Emperor of the eighth rank.
"It seems the Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits indeed have miraculous uses," Qin Chen said joyfully. Over these two days, he had also been consuming the Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits. These fruits melted instantly upon ingestion, forming a pure energy that helped refine the Spatial Law power within him. But compared to You Qianxue, his refining speed was much slower. So far, he had only refined two Spatial Laws to perfection, with twelve still not refined.
However, Qin Chen was not anxious. He had enough Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits and would continue consuming them. It wouldn’t be long before he could reach the peak of the early stage, and at that time, he could also try to break through to the mid-stage of the eighth rank. His only worry was Chen Sisi.
So far, he had no clues, and even Gu Cang, the Martial Emperor, had not sent any information, clearly having not found any news about Feng Lei Di Zi. Also, the group of black-clothed people and those from Piao Miao Palace had not sent back any information, which made Qin Chen vaguely worried about their true intentions.
However, Zhou Zhiwei had been following him all along, believing that Qin Chen hadn’t noticed her. In reality, her every move was entirely within Qin Chen's sight.
At this moment, in a dense forest behind Qin Chen, Zhou Zhiwei was feeling somewhat frustrated as she brushed off the dirt from her body, looking quite disheveled as she followed Qin Chen and You Qianxue. Having followed them for two days, she vaguely sensed that they seemed to be searching for something. "Hmph, once I see those from Piao Miao Palace, I won't bother following you anymore," Zhou Zhiwei said angrily, feeling a deep sense of grievance.
In order not to be left behind by Qin Chen, she had racked her brains. Fortunately, after consuming five Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits, she had also refined the power of the Spatial Law within her to perfection, thus not being left behind by Qin Chen. But the embarrassment of following them all this way was another matter entirely.
Suddenly, a violent wave of true essence fluctuations came from deep within the mountain forest.
Are they fighting? Qin Chen's spiritual force immediately scanned over, quickly discovering that three people were engaged in combat.
Actually, rather than fighting, it was more accurate to say that two mid-stage peak Martial Emperors of the eighth rank were trying to block another mid-stage Martial Emperor of the eighth rank. However, that mid-stage Martial Emperor, although not high in cultivation, was extremely formidable, repeatedly breaking out of the encirclement of the two and employing various tactics.
