Yang Che sat cross-legged in the Tongyou Medicine Garden, swallowing a handful of Nourishing Yuan Pills to recover from his Physical Body injuries.

Carefully inspecting his body, Yang Che discovered that although his muscles were severely damaged, his miraculous golden blood-bones were almost unharmed.

It was precisely thanks to the magic of these golden blood-bones that Yang Che’s body ultimately endured everything.

However, recalling the events, he couldn't help but feel shivers down his spine.

If it weren't for the burly old man of the Yuwen Family not immediately intending to kill him at first, but only wanting to extract his soul, and then summoning lightning to strike his body—which fortunately he had a Mutated Lightning Immortal Root—it was due to these various coincidences that Yang Che finally escaped this life-and-death tribulation.

This time, he truly felt Tianxie Ziyin’s disappointment and her patience gradually wearing thin.

At the same time, he once again cruelly felt her ruthlessness and indifference.

Perhaps in her eyes, he was just a bug, as she had always said.

Relying on others is ultimately not as good as relying on oneself.

Soon, a month and a half passed, and Yang Che, by relying on Spirit Stones and a large quantity of Nourishing Yuan Pills, finally recovered from his injuries.

Moreover, Yang Che unexpectedly discovered that his Cultivation had once again advanced, reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Originally, according to his prior plan, he should have gone to the Xuanwu Realm at this time to find the purple sky fungus and essence stabilizing fruit, two Spirit Medicines needed for refining the ‘Essence Stabilizing Pill’.

Once the Essence Stabilizing Pill was refined, he could begin the matters of Core Formation.

However, fate plays tricks, and things are unpredictable; the people of the Yuwen Family actually blocked the entrance and exit of the Boundary Battlefield, intending to extract his soul and refine it, forcing him to retreat back into the Boundary Battlefield to save his life.

Five hundred years, ah.

Could it be that he really had to stay here for five hundred years?

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Che felt a bit anxious, but he quickly calmed down, knowing that impatience was useless.

In such a situation, he naturally thought of the ‘Ancient Teleportation Array’ in the mini-canyon of Starfall Mountain.

If Zi Yin could repair this Formation, then he would certainly be able to leave this Boundary Battlefield earlier.

Yang Che stood up and found Tianxie Ziyin still sitting under the Spirit Eye Tree, maintaining her original posture.

Without speaking, Yang Che silently exited the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space, preparing to head straight for the location of the Ancient Teleportation Array on Starfall Mountain.

At this moment, a lightning bolt, like a snake, suddenly struck towards him.

Yang Che was startled, and Wind Severing Shadow was instantly cast, narrowly avoiding it.

The lightning bolt, slithering like a snake, struck precisely a Space Rift not far away.

Immediately, that Space Rift began to enlarge, and the strange turbulent currents and terrifying suction force instantly drew in nearby rocks and other objects.

As the Space Rift enlarged, Yang Che also sensed that the Boundary Battlefield space around the rift was gradually becoming unstable.

“Yang Che, that old man took the opportunity to send in many lightning bolts earlier; these lightning bolts all contain a trace of that old man’s extremely faint consciousness, so when you encounter this lightning, it’s best to temporarily avoid its edge.”

Tianxie Ziyin’s voice suddenly sounded in Yang Che’s mind.

“Understood. I know.” Yang Che replied calmly.

At this moment, a rumbling sound like a tsunami and thunder suddenly came from within the Space Rift.

Immediately after, Yang Che sensed that the Boundary Battlefield seemed to be trembling slightly, and the ground was shaking a little.

“Not good. Someone is attacking this Boundary Battlefield from the outside.”

Tianxie Ziyin’s voice was filled with surprise.

She knew very well that for a special space like the Boundary Battlefield, which was caused by an ancient war, the cost of precisely locating and attacking it from the outside would be quite substantial.

Yang Che frowned and said, “It seems this Yuwen Family is determined to extract my soul and refine it.”

“This King has long told you that in the Cultivation World, the strong prey on the weak, and strength is respected. In the eyes of the strong, the weak are like ants.

Sometimes, the weak do not provoke the strong, but they can still be annihilated by the strong with a flick of a finger; there is simply no logic to speak of.”

Yang Che couldn't help but sigh, “It seems the world of Cultivators only speaks of fists, not reason.”

Tianxie Ziyin said, “If you want to talk about reason, it’s only when the strengths of both sides are similar. Otherwise, only in the ancient era. Cultivators of that time emphasized cultivating the mind and cultivating the Dao, valuing Dao Heart, Karma, Immortal Opportunity, and so on, far more than now. What they pursued was also transcendence.”

“But now, everyone is thinking about how to contend for more Cultivation resources, improve to higher Cultivation, and gain a longer Lifespan. Except for very special Karma that must be taken seriously, everything else has become increasingly unimportant.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Che’s eyes also narrowed slightly.

If this Yuwen Family kept hounding him, it would indeed be quite unfavorable.

After a moment of silence, Yang Che seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly asked, “Zi Yin, with the Cultivation of that old man from the Yuwen Family, what would be the consequences if he kept attacking this Boundary Battlefield from the outside?”

Tianxie Ziyin said, “If he continues to attack with this intensity, I’m afraid that in at most two years, as long as one Space Rift in this Boundary Battlefield completely collapses, the entire Boundary Battlefield will be destroyed.”

“What? Two years?”

Yang Che’s heart immediately tightened.

“Exactly. So, this King has decided to quickly go and repair that Ancient Teleportation Array. As for you, stay at the previous Space Rift; this King can barely create another one-year golden grid for you there. You can stay inside and Cultivate properly.”

As Tianxie Ziyin spoke, she suddenly exited the Magic Stone Space.

“Zi Yin, you can come out now?” Yang Che said in surprise.

“This Boundary Battlefield is currently in a closed state, and it’s a special space. To repair that Ancient Teleportation Array, I have no choice but to come out.”

So, next, Tianxie Ziyin reset a one-year golden grid at the previous Space Rift. Yang Che sat cross-legged within it, utilizing the time flow rate of the Space Rift to continue Cultivating the Formation and also began to learn the Dao of Talisman Crafting.

Tianxie Ziyin, meanwhile, devoted herself entirely to repairing the Ancient Teleportation Array.

…

Time passed quickly.

In a flash, a year passed in the Boundary Battlefield.

And Yang Che had also Cultivated the Dao of Formation and Talisman Crafting for a full hundred years within the Space Rift.

On this day, Yang Che sensed that the golden grid was about to disappear, so he quickly jumped out of the golden grid in the Space Rift.

He clearly sensed that the Boundary Battlefield space was becoming increasingly unstable.

After exiting the Space Rift, Yang Che immediately prepared to fly towards the mini-canyon on Starfall Mountain.

Just then, a silver lightning bolt suddenly shot out from somewhere and struck directly at him.

This time, Yang Che did not dodge. Instead, he quickly took out a Spirit Talisman, slapped it onto himself, and then allowed the lightning to strike his body.

In an instant, Yang Che immediately activated the «Heaven and Earth Chaos Art», forcefully refining and absorbing the lightning.

“It really works.”

Yang Che secretly rejoiced.

After a hundred years of secluded Cultivation, Yang Che’s body was now almost entirely composed of Extreme Power.

He could now achieve the Fusion of his Magical Power and Ancient God Power almost instantaneously.

In addition, his Dao of Talisman Crafting had made significant progress, and his Dao of Formation had also greatly improved.

Yang Che flew towards Starfall Mountain and arrived at the mini-canyon where the Ancient Teleportation Array was located, finding Tianxie Ziyin still in the process of repairing it.

Seeing Yang Che arrive, Tianxie Ziyin immediately said, “You’ve come at just the right time. The two missing corners of this Ancient Teleportation Array are almost repaired. However, one very important item is still missing.”

“Missing an item?” Yang Che asked, puzzled.

“Yes, usually for such long-distance Teleportation, something is needed that can resist the tearing force of space. Without this item, once this Ancient Teleportation Array is activated, this King can leave, but you might not.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Che immediately took out a black triangular token and asked, “Is it something similar to this token?”

Tianxie Ziyin nodded and said, “Exactly. It’s something like this triangular token.”

“Then, can’t this triangular token be used?” Yang Che asked.

“A single one certainly won’t work. But if a hundred or so of these tokens are fused together, it should be possible.”

“Then I have them.”

Yang Che immediately waved his hand, and several hundred black and white triangular tokens piled up in front of them.
