People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 128 Portable World, Tower of Trials, Spatial Control!

"Ye, the training ground you built is really big!"

As Sakura followed Ye Hui forward, she looked around curiously, her gaze sweeping over the towering ancient trees and dense bushes around her. "We've been walking for almost half an hour, how come we still can't see the end?"

Ye Hui glanced around.

Indeed, this forest seemed to have no boundaries; as far as the eye could see, the scenery was all the same.

Thick tree trunks were entwined with emerald green vines, the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and occasionally a few brightly colored, unnamed wildflowers could be seen, but the way out of the forest remained elusive.

Zhi Shi, holding a camera, filmed the unique scenery in the forest while asking softly, "Ye, is this space maintained by your spiritual power? Such a large area must consume a lot of your cultivation if you rely entirely on your own spiritual power, right?"

Zhi Shi's questions always hit the nail on the head.

Ye Hui smiled slightly.

Zhi Shi is also a cultivator. Although he is currently just a novice in the Qi Refining stage, he still understands the basic common sense of cultivation.

But I can't exactly tell her that this secret realm was obtained through a system lottery.

So Ye Hui quickly organized his thoughts and soon came up with a reasonable excuse.

"It's not something I can sustain by myself alone."

Ye Hui shook his head and pointed to the ground beneath his feet. "I found a spiritual vein node near Tomoeda Town before. This formation is set up based on the spiritual vein, mainly relying on the spiritual power of the earth vein to maintain spatial stability. My own spiritual power only plays a guiding and controlling role, and the consumption is not significant."

"I see. Using the spiritual energy of the earth's veins can indeed save a lot of one's own cultivation." Zhi Shi nodded thoughtfully.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +11】

Sakura seemed to understand but not quite. She tilted her head and only grasped the key points that concerned her.

"So, does that mean this training ground can exist indefinitely? We can come in and play... no, I mean train, whenever we want to train?"

As she spoke, her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Ye Hui, her face full of anticipation.

"That's how it works in theory. As long as the spiritual veins don't dry up, the formation can keep operating." Ye Hui nodded.

"Great! Now we can come here often to practice using the Clow Cards!" Sakura jumped up happily.

at this time.

A rustling sound suddenly came from all directions, breaking the silence.

The sound was like something moving rapidly under the fallen leaves, or like vines rubbing against a tree trunk, and it was getting closer and closer, clearly converging on the three of them.

Ye Hui immediately stopped and released his divine sense to scan the area.

At least seven or eight auras of demonic beasts are rapidly approaching from different directions, and their strength is between the mid and late stages of Qi Refining.

"Sakura, Tomoyo, be on guard, something's coming." He whispered a warning.

"Hey!" The two girls immediately tensed up and, following the tactics Ye Hui had taught them, stood back to back in a defensive stance.

Sakura gripped her wand tightly, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.

Zhi Shi then gathered pale blue spiritual energy in her hands, ready to unleash a spell at any moment.

“Rustle…rustle…”

The sound grew closer, and the surrounding grass began to shake violently. Several fallen leaves were swept up by the air currents and swirled in the air.

Suddenly, seven or eight green figures darted out from different directions at the same time, like streaks of lightning, instantly surrounding the three of them.

Ye Hui looked closely.

These monsters are about the size of ordinary wolves, but their bodies are not made of flesh and blood, but are made of tough, dark green vines interwoven together.

Interspersed among the vines are tiny thorns. Their heads are oval-shaped, without obvious facial features, only pairs of scarlet eyes that gleam with a bloodthirsty light in the dim jungle, making them look both eerie and dangerous.

"It's a vine wolf!"

Ye Hui immediately gave the name of the monster.

This is also a common beginner monster in cultivation games. They usually move in groups, are agile, and are good at using their vines to entangle enemies. They can also launch spike attacks.

Although they are not strong individually, they become very troublesome when they come in groups.

"Wow...they look so peculiar, they're actually made of vines!" Sakura exclaimed as she looked at the vine wolves forming a circle around them, but she gripped her wand even tighter, not letting her guard down.

Tomoyo also found it novel. She carefully examined the vine wolves, trying to find their weaknesses: "These vines look very tough. Ordinary attacks may not be able to break through their defenses. We need to find a way to exploit their weaknesses."

"Don't be fooled by their appearance. These vine wolves are much harder to deal with than the rock-armored boars from before. They are good at using the terrain to ambush," Ye Hui warned in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the vine wolves that had formed a circle.

As soon as he finished speaking, several vine wolves moved.

Instead of a direct attack, they used the trees and bushes for cover, moving swiftly through the forest like green shadows, circling the three and searching for blind spots to attack.

Soon, a vine wolf silently circled around to Tomoyo's back.

It lowered its body, opened its large mouth made of intertwined vines, revealing fine, sharp thorns inside, and bit down hard on Tomoyo's calf.

"Tomoyo, watch out behind you!" Sakura, with her sharp eyes, spotted the sneak attack immediately and cried out in alarm.

Tomoyo reacted extremely quickly. The moment she heard the warning, she didn't panic at all. Her body leaped to the right like a light butterfly, landing steadily on the open ground a meter away, just in time to avoid the vine wolf's attack.

Almost simultaneously, another vine wolf pounced on Zhi Shi from the front, and Ye Hui raised his hand to condense a water curtain in front of her.

"boom!"

The vine wolf crashed headfirst into the water curtain, bounced back, and landed in a pile of fallen leaves, rolling around on the ground.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

"Sakura, use the sword shield! Their vines are vulnerable to sharp attacks!" Ye Hui's voice rang out again, giving the instruction.

"Sword!" Sakura immediately chanted the spell, and the magic wand in her hand transformed into a silver-white longsword.

She gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands and slashed fiercely at the vine wolf closest to her.

A flash of sword light, and the vine wolf was cut in half at the waist.

The broken vine writhed on the ground a few times before turning into specks of green light and dissipating into the air.

"It really works! The sword can defeat them directly!" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise, and her grip on the sword hilt tightened.

"Don't get distracted, there are still several more!" Ye Hui smiled and reminded him.

With him by their side, the two girls could always relax quickly, even in the midst of battle.

But this is good, at least I won't make mistakes because of nervousness.

The voice just fell.

Two more vine wolves attacked Sakura from the left and right.

The wolf on the left lunged at her shoulder, while the one on the right aimed for her ankle.

Sakura quickly sidestepped the attack of the vine wolf on her left, and at the same time, she twisted her wrist and swung her longsword backward.

With a "whoosh," the neck of the vine wolf on the right was severed.

Immediately afterwards, using the momentum from her turn, she executed a swift spin, slashing out with her longsword once more, cutting the vine wolf on the left, which was preparing to pounce a second time, in two.

Ye Hui nodded in satisfaction.

Sakura's fighting talent is indeed outstanding. From needing reminders at the beginning to now being able to flexibly deal with pincer attacks in actual combat, her progress is astonishingly fast.

On the other side, Tomoyo wasn't idle either. She gathered her spiritual power and formed several water arrows, which she shot at the vine wolves that were trying to ambush Ye Hui.

Although the water arrows cannot directly cut the vines, they can temporarily hinder their movement, creating an opportunity for Sakura to attack.

With their perfect teamwork, the remaining vine wolves were quickly wiped out.

Ye Hui did almost nothing.

After the battle, Sakura was slightly out of breath, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Although the battle just now only lasted a few minutes, it required her to be constantly on guard against sneak attacks, and it was very intense, which took a toll on her mental strength.

But seeing the vine wolf disappear on the ground, Sakura couldn't help but smile excitedly: "We won again! Tomoyo and I worked so well together!"

"Sakura looked so cool using her sword just now! Especially that spinning slash at the end, it was so clean!" Tomoyo walked over and handed Sakura a tissue.

"Hehe...it's not that amazing, really." Sakura took the tissue and wiped her sweat, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Like the previous Rock-Armored Boar, after the Vine Wolves were destroyed, they left behind seven or eight vines that shimmered with a pale green light, with a faint crystalline luster visible in the center of each vine.

Ye Hui stepped forward, picked up one of them and examined it carefully: "This is the core of a vine, which is also a commonly used material for refining weapons. It is very suitable for making rope-type magic weapons. Adding it to armor can also increase its toughness. It is a pretty good item."

"Wow, so many fell this time! Much more than the fangs from before!" Sakura crouched down and carefully picked up all the vine cores, putting them into her small bag.

Seeing her excited expression, Ye Hui smiled and nodded: "Because of the blessing of the spiritual vein, the magic array can make these monsters that I set up drop prizes. This is just the beginning. There are many more rare materials waiting for us to find in the secret realm."

"When we get back, I'll refine these materials into magical artifacts and make a suitable piece of equipment for you and Zhi Shi each."

Looking at the naive and unsophisticated expressions of Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a guardian deity, you feel a surge of superiority. You can't help but imagine their expressions when they find out this is just a broken, trashy secret realm!

Ye Hui's lips twitched as he looked at the system notification.

After resting for a few minutes, the three continued deeper into the forest.

Having gained experience from the previous two battles, Sakura and Tomoyo were noticeably more alert and their teamwork became increasingly seamless, to the point that they didn't even need Ye Hui to remind them.

Sakura was in charge of the frontal attacks, while Tomoyo used her water manipulation skills to assist in restraining the enemy and occasionally reminded them to be careful of sneak attacks. She didn't need Ye Hui to give any instructions.

Along the way, they encountered several more waves of monster attacks.

First came several poisonous mushrooms that sprayed dark green venom. They hid in the pile of fallen leaves, disguised as ordinary mushrooms. They would suddenly spray venom as soon as someone got close. Fortunately, Tomoyo reacted quickly and used her spiritual power to create a water shield to block the venom. Sakura then used her sword to cut the poisonous mushrooms in half.

Next up are the deadwood spirits that can disguise themselves as tree trunks. Their bodies are exactly the same color as trees, and they only reveal their weaknesses when they move. Sakura used the wind card to increase her speed, circled around behind the deadwood spirits, and used the sword card to cut open their cores.

Finally, there were swarms of blade-winged bees. These bees had wings as sharp as blades and could emit a piercing buzzing sound to distract. Tomoyo used her water manipulation technique to create a fine water net, trapping the blade-winged bees inside. Sakura then used her shadow card to eliminate all the bees at once.

Every battle was thrilling yet ultimately safe, and Sakura and Tomoyo's combat skills improved rapidly.

"It seems to be getting darker and darker."

Tomoyo looked up at the tree canopy above her head. The sparse sunlight that could be seen through the gaps was now almost completely blocked, and the light in the forest was as dim as dusk.

Ye Hui nodded, his gaze fixed on the misty area not far away: "Hmm, we should be almost at the core area of ​​the secret realm."

"The enemies you encounter next will be stronger than any of the monsters you've encountered before, so be prepared."

"Okay! We'll do our best!" Sakura gripped the sword in her hand, her gaze resolute.

Tomoyo nodded, quietly gathering spiritual energy in her hands, preparing for battle.

But before they could take a step, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

"Boom——"

With a loud bang, a huge crack appeared in the ground not far ahead, and rubble and fallen leaves fell into the crack.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure slowly crawled out from the ground, gradually revealing its full appearance.

It was a giant made of countless transparent crystals, over ten meters tall, and half a head taller than the surrounding trees.

Its body is made of irregularly shaped crystal blocks. Sunlight shines through the crystals, refracting into a variety of colors, but it does not feel warm at all.

His eyes were two red crystals the size of pigeon eggs, gleaming with a cold light, staring intently at Ye Hui and the other two, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

"This is... a crystal golem?" Ye Hui looked at the huge thing in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly.

These aren't the monsters from the beginner village; he'd noticed them when he was designing the template for the cultivation game.

Crystal Golems are elite monsters in mid-tier dungeons. They have extremely high defense and can not only launch melee attacks with their massive bodies, but also manipulate surrounding crystals to bombard enemies from a distance, making them very difficult to deal with.

It seems that this incomplete secret realm is more dangerous than he imagined, but not by much.

[You finally realize you've gone too far! You thought this was just a beginner's training ground, but you never expected there to be a Foundation Establishment stage crystal puppet hidden in the core area. You're actually panicking inside, but on the surface you have to pretend everything's under control, lest you scare the two girls!]

Ye Hui raised an eyebrow.

Foundation building period?
Isn't that about the same as his previous cultivation level?

He has now broken through to the Golden Core stage, which is more than enough to deal with a Foundation Establishment stage puppet.

Sakura and the others, on the other hand, might be under some pressure.

"Student Ye... is this huge guy also a training ground monster you set up?"

Sakura looked at the crystal giant in front of her. Just the size of the giant made her feel immense pressure. Her voice trembled slightly, and her hand gripping the sword tightened involuntarily.

Ye Hui paused for a moment, then continued along the lines of what he had said before, a faint smile appearing on his face: "Of course, this is the final BOSS I prepared for you, to test the results of your training over this period of time."

"The final... BOSS?" Sakura swallowed subconsciously, her expression tense.

The power emanating from this crystal golem was stronger than all the monsters we had encountered before combined!

They're not even in the same league!

"Ye, is this BOSS really strong enough for us to beat?" Sakura asked, sounding a little uncertain.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Tomoyo's expression also turned serious. She could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from the crystal golem, which was stronger than any monster she had encountered before: "Its crystal shell looks very hard, and it would be difficult to cause any damage with ordinary attacks."

Ye Hui nodded slightly: "Its defense is very high, but don't worry, with me here, I definitely won't let you get hurt. Besides, when dealing with such a big guy, we need to use some tactics, we can't just fight head-on."

Although the appearance of the crystal golem was beyond expectations, Ye Hui didn't pay much attention to it.

He is now a Golden Core cultivator, and dealing with a Foundation Establishment puppet is a piece of cake for him.

However, he did not intend to take immediate action.

This crystal golem can be used to test Sakura and Tomoyo's growth over this period, and it can also let them see truly powerful enemies and accumulate practical experience.

In particular, although this crystal puppet is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, its physical material makes it capable of fighting against a cultivator at the early Golden Core stage.

But as long as you know the right methods, solving it is quite simple.

Faced with such a terrifying monster, you're already plotting your escape! You want to use the Heavenly Spirit Root disciple Kinomoto Sakura and the Guardian Daidouji Tomoyo as cannon fodder so you can slip away! In this life-or-death crisis, you don't care about turning them against you; you'd rather they were dead!

Ye Hui ignored the system's complaints and focused on the crystal golem.

This guy was enraged by these little brats who had trespassed on his territory.

"Roar!" A deep roar came from the crystal golem's mouth.

It raised its right arm, which was made of large pieces of crystal. The crystals on the arm reflected a cold light and slammed down in the direction of Ye Hui and the other two. Although the movement was slow, it carried a strong sense of oppression.

"Let's get out of there!"

Sakura reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Ye Hui with one hand and pulling Tomoyo with the other, and suddenly dodged to the right.

Almost simultaneously, the giant crystal fist slammed heavily onto the spot where they had just been standing.

With a loud "boom"!
The ground cracked instantly, sending debris flying and creating a half-meter-deep crater with traces of the crystal impact still visible at the edges.

"Wow...that was incredibly strong!" Sakura looked at the deep pit, patting her chest with lingering fear, her face still a little pale. "If we had been hit, we would definitely have turned into giant meat patties!"

"Its attack speed is slow, but its power and range are extremely large. The key is that it cannot be hit head-on."

Ye Hui quickly analyzed the enemy's characteristics and gave the order, "Sakura, use floating cards and wind cards to restrict its movements and disrupt its rhythm!"

"Hey!" Sakura immediately snapped back to reality, waving her wand. "Float! Wind!"

Two beams of light shone simultaneously.

The power of the floating card enveloped the crystal golem, making its originally heavy body light and airy, as if it were being lifted by the air currents. Immediately afterwards, the wind card brought a howling gale, which made the crystal golem sway and stagger in place, its huge body losing its balance and almost falling over several times.

"Great! Quick reaction and excellent card coordination!" Ye Hui praised promptly, giving positive feedback.

Sakura's progress is evident to the naked eye. She is becoming more and more proficient in using the Clow Cards and can now quickly combine and use them according to the situation on the battlefield.

"Roar!" The crystal golem roared again, feeling very uncomfortable with the feeling of its body being out of control.

Then, it suddenly plunged its arms into the ground, its crystal arms digging deep into the soil, finally managing to stabilize itself.

Immediately afterwards, the huge red crystal on its chest suddenly shone with a blinding light, the light growing brighter and brighter until it was impossible to open one's eyes.

"Watch out! It's about to launch a ranged attack!" Ye Hui warned.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of crystal spikes, each as thick as a finger, shot out from the red crystal like sharp daggers, whistling through the air as they hurtled towards the three of them.

Sakura reacted extremely quickly, flicking her finger and sending a Clow Card flying.

"Shield! Protect us!"

An invisible, semi-transparent light shield instantly enveloped the three of them.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

The crystal spikes struck the shield one after another, producing a series of crisp sounds. Each impact caused the shield to vibrate slightly, but it never broke.

The spikes were flung away, landing on the ground and shattering into tiny crystal fragments.

"That was close..." Sakura breathed a long sigh of relief as she looked at the crystal spikes stuck all over the ground outside the light barrier.

"Zhi Shi, do you see that red crystal on its chest?" Ye Hui pointed to the crystal puppet. "That's its energy core, and also its weakness. All its attack energy comes from there. As long as the core is destroyed, this puppet will lose its ability to move."

Tomoyo nodded: "I saw it. The ranged attack just now came from there. But how can we get close to it? Its defensive range is too large."

Ye Hui glanced at the crystal golem that was still shooting out crystal spikes, then quickly scanned the surroundings before finally settling on a relatively open space not far away.

There are no trees to block the view, which is perfect to prevent the puppets from using the terrain to hinder their attacks.

He turned to Tomoyo and said, "Tomoyo, can you use water to guide it to that open space over there? There are no obstacles there, and it will be easier for Sakura to launch an attack."

“No problem!” Tomoyo immediately replied, “Waterspout!”

She stretched out her hands, and pale blue water-based spiritual energy surged from her palms. The spiritual energy quickly gathered in front of her, gradually forming a swirling stream of water.

As she waved her arm, the water flow grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a water dragon several meters long. The dragon's body was shrouded in white mist, and it emitted a low roar as it charged towards the crystal golem.

The crystal golem immediately sensed the threat of the water dragon. The red crystal light on its chest paused, and it stopped firing spikes. Instead, it turned its arms towards the water dragon, and several thick crystal pillars rose from the ground in an attempt to block the water dragon's impact.

However, the water dragon controlled by Tomoyo was exceptionally agile, twisting its body nimbly in the air to avoid most of the crystal pillars' attacks. Only a few crystal pillars grazed its body, splashing a few water droplets, before it crashed headfirst into the chest of the crystal golem.

"Bang!" The moment the water dragon crashed into the crystal golem, it unleashed a tremendous impact, causing the golem's massive body to stagger back several steps, its feet leaving two deep marks on the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhi Shi increased her spiritual power output, controlled the water dragon, wrapped it around the limbs and body of the crystal puppet, and transformed it into a rope, forcibly dragging it toward the open space designated by Ye Hui.

The crystal golem roared angrily, struggling to break free from the water dragon's restraints, its crystal arms carving deep furrows in the ground.

"Well done, Zhishi!" Ye Hui couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhi Shi's control over water-based spiritual energy was stronger than he had imagined. Not only could she quickly condense a water dragon, but she could also precisely control its direction and intensity. It seemed that she had not fallen behind in her cultivation during this period.

Especially her use of magic, Ye Hui felt that she spent a lot of time practicing it every day.

Otherwise, how could the power of a Qi Refining stage cultivator really trap a Foundation Establishment stage boss?

With Tomoyo's continued efforts, the crystal golem was finally successfully dragged to the open ground.

The puppet was now tightly bound by the water dragon, restricting its movement, making it the perfect time to launch an attack.

"Sakura, now's the time!" Ye Hui looked at Sakura, who was already prepared, and gestured for her to make her move.

"Yes!" Sakura nodded emphatically, took a deep breath, gripped her wand tightly, and dispelled the shield.

This time, she didn't use the Wind or Thunder cards separately, but instead fused the two powers together, something Ye Hui had taught her before.

It was inspired by combination techniques.

"Wind! Thunder!" Sakura chanted loudly, and two beams of light shot out from the tip of her wand. A pale green wind force and a silver-white thunder force converged in the air, rapidly spinning and merging, gradually forming a violent lightning tornado.

The tornado, accompanied by blinding lightning and howling wind, rushed towards the crystal golem bound by the water dragon. Wherever it passed, rubble was kicked up, creating an astonishing spectacle.

"Boom——"

The moment the lightning tornado struck the crystal golem, it produced a deafening roar. Lightning exploded on the golem's crystal body, and the wind force continuously tore at its outer shell.

The light lasted for several seconds before gradually fading away. When everything returned to calm, the crystal golem had disappeared, leaving behind only a pile of broken, transparent crystal shards and a core crystal the size of a fist, emitting a soft red light.

"We...success?" Sakura murmured in disbelief as she looked at the crystal shards and core crystal on the open ground.

“That’s right, you’ve successfully defeated it.” Ye Hui stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the core crystal.

This crystal contains pure energy, making it an excellent material for refining mid-level spiritual weapons, and its value is extremely high.

[You're showing off again! It was only with the help of Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a guardian deity, that we barely defeated this crystal golem, yet you're acting all nonchalant, hogging the most precious spoils for yourself! Your behavior is utterly outrageous!]

Ye Hui automatically ignored the system's complaints, turned around, and handed the core crystal in his hand to Sakura and Tomoyo: "Look, this is the result of your joint efforts, and it is also proof that you defeated the BOSS."

"It's so beautiful!" Sakura immediately reached out and carefully took the core crystal. The crystal was warm to the touch, and she could feel the energy fluctuations inside. Her eyes sparkled. "I never thought we could actually defeat such a powerful monster!"

Tomoyo looked at the sparkling core crystal in Sakura's hand, a faint smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

Just then, the entire secret realm suddenly began to shake violently, even more violently than when the crystal golem had appeared.

The sky became intermittently bright and dark, the originally dim light sometimes dazzling and sometimes pitch black, and the surrounding trees began to appear illusory, like a pixelated image, with their outlines gradually blurring.

Some trees even turned into specks of light and disappeared into the air.

"What's going on? Why is it shaking so badly?" Sakura asked nervously, gripping the core crystal tightly, and subconsciously leaned closer to Tomoyo.

"Hmm? It seems the secret realm is about to collapse."

Ye Hui frowned, his expression instantly turning serious as he scanned the disappearing scenery around him.

"After the final boss is defeated, this space loses its core energy support and will soon disappear completely."

"Let's get out of here quickly," Sakura said. "I thought this place could stay forever!"

"Hmm, don't rush, wait a bit."

Ye Hui looked down at the incomplete map in his hand.

The light on the map's surface is dimming rapidly, as if it might go out at any moment.

A bold idea suddenly popped into his head.

This map is incomplete, and the unlocked secret realm is also incomplete.

I thought it would last forever, but it seems like it will collapse after defeating the BOSS.

So, if he uses his own power to complete this secret realm, will it make it a stable space?

He is now at the Golden Core stage and has mastered various supernatural abilities. To complete the secret realm is essentially to repair the dungeon map.

With his weapon-refining skills and current cultivation level, he might actually be able to do it.

"Sakura, Tomoyo, stand behind me and don't go near the surrounding space. Be careful not to get caught in the cracks," Ye Hui said in a deep voice.

Although the two girls didn't know what he wanted to do, they trusted him and obediently walked behind him, sticking close together.

Ye Hui took a deep breath and circulated his spiritual energy to its maximum.

Golden spiritual energy flowed around him, forming a faint halo, and even his hair swayed slightly due to the surge of spiritual energy.

He stretched out his hands, palms facing the void in front of him, and poured a vast amount of spiritual energy into the collapsing secret realm.

"Ye, what are you doing?" Zhi Shi's purple eyes narrowed as she looked at the powerful spiritual energy emanating from Ye Hui.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

"Don't worry, there might be a problem with the formation. I'll try to see if I can fix this secret realm." Ye Hui shook his head.

If successful, this will be a stable training space for them.

[You attempt to repair a world, but with your meager strength, your actions are futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly overestimating your own abilities!]

Overestimating one's abilities?

This is called "fortune favors the bold"!
Opportunities often arise in the most dangerous times.

He had a strong feeling that if he could successfully repair this secret realm, he would definitely gain unexpected benefits!
Ye Hui grasped the incomplete map, activated it directly, and then raised his hand and sent four array flags engraved with array runes flying out of his storage space, landing in the four corners of the secret realm space.

The moment the array flags were inserted into the ground, they emitted a faint light, forming a simple spatial array.

Ye Hui attempted to use the power of the array to reconstruct and stabilize the spatial structure of this world.

This not only requires immense spiritual power, but also a profound understanding of the laws of space.

However, the shaking of the secret realm became even more violent, and the ground cracked open with hideous spatial rifts, from which flickered a dark light that seemed capable of devouring everything.

The nearest crack was right at their feet, which startled Sakura, who gasped and clung tightly to Tomoyo's arm.

"Ah! There's a huge crack here!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let you get hurt."

Ye Hui's voice was calm and steady, which calmed the two girls down a bit.

His eyes narrowed, and he no longer held back, suddenly increasing his spiritual power output while shouting, "Earth Element!"

He mobilized the power of earth elemental magic.

A thick, earthy-yellow light spread from beneath his feet, merging into the ground of the entire secret realm. The ground, which had been shaking violently, seemed to have been injected with a stabilizer, slowly becoming stable.

The ever-expanding spatial rifts stopped spreading, and patches of light even began to appear at their edges, as if they were being repaired.

"It worked!" Ye Hui was overjoyed; it seemed his approach was correct.

This secret realm was originally generated by a map, so its foundation was unstable. As long as the power of the earth is used to rebuild its foundation, the problem of spatial instability can be fundamentally solved.

But that's not enough. The power of the earth can only temporarily stabilize the ground. To completely stabilize the entire space, more energy is needed.

Without further hesitation, Ye Hui unleashed the full power of the golden core within his dantian.

The three-colored golden core spun rapidly within the dantian, emitting golden, red, and blue light. Vast spiritual power surged into the surrounding array like a tide, making the array flags even brighter, attempting to reconnect the spatial structure of the entire secret realm.

"Wood gives birth to all things, and life goes on endlessly."

Ye Hui gave a light shout, once again mobilizing the power of the wood spirit root within his body.

Pale green spiritual energy surged from his palm, like fine spring rain, slowly merging into this almost collapsing space.

The trees, which had become illusory and transparent due to the instability of space, gradually became clear and solid under the nourishment of the power of the wood spirit root. Their branches and leaves regained their vitality, and even new buds sprouted from the trunks.

On the bare ground, tiny blades of grass sprouted and quickly formed a light green carpet, adding a touch of life to the entire secret realm.

Water nourishes all things!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Hui mobilized the power of the water elemental root.

A pale blue spiritual energy spread out, like the morning mist, nourishing every inch of space in the air.

The previously dry air became moist and fresh, and you could even smell a faint fragrance of water vapor.

Nourished by the moisture, the grass and trees on the ground grew even more lushly, and a small puddle gradually formed in the open space in the distance. The puddle was crystal clear and reflected the gradually stabilizing sky.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—the five elements are the foundation of the world.

Although Ye Hui has not yet awakened his fire spirit root, he still needs to use earth elemental abilities to simulate his earth spirit root.

However, he used earth elemental magic to establish the spatial foundation, nourished the environment with wood and water elemental spiritual power, combined with the array power of the array flags, and forged weapons on the spot without the aid of a forging furnace, holding a map in his hand.

Through their combined efforts, they managed to stabilize the almost collapsing secret realm once again!
As the last spatial rift was filled by the array's light, the entire secret realm returned to complete tranquility.

The shaking stopped, and the sky, which had been flickering between light and dark, was now a clear, pale blue. The concentration of spiritual energy in the air had increased several levels compared to before, and one could feel the spiritual energy surging slightly within the body with every breath.

"...It's a success?" Sakura looked at the completely transformed world before her—the lush green grass, the verdant trees, the clear puddles—and couldn't believe her eyes. She subconsciously rubbed the corners of her eyes.

"It's a success." Ye Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

The series of actions he had just performed had almost exhausted all of his spiritual power.

"Yoko-kun!" Tomoyo saw him sway and quickly stepped forward to support his arm, her voice filled with concern. "Are you alright? You look terrible."

"I'm fine." Ye Hui leaned against Zhi Shi's soft, fragrant shoulder, the faint scent of the girl lingering around his nose.

Actually, he wasn't completely exhausted; he just took the rare opportunity to lean against the wall for a little longer.

at this time.

A series of system notifications rang in his mind, and the updated logs scrolled by like flowing water.

[The host has successfully repaired the damaged secret realm. The secret realm is now bound to the host's soul and has become an exclusive blessed land!]

[Secret Realm Level Upgraded! Current Level: Low!]

[Secret Realm Feature Unlocked]

[1. The concentration of spiritual energy is constantly five times that of the outside world, and it can be further enhanced as the level of the secret realm increases.]

[2. The host can freely set the internal environment of the secret realm (such as forests, grasslands, mountains, etc.) and the types and levels of monsters. Currently, the highest monster that can be set is the early Foundation Establishment stage.]

[3. The drop rate of rare materials after a monster dies has been increased by 30%!]

[4. Unlock the core building of the secret realm - the Tower of Trials!]

[Because you defied the heavens by forcibly repairing a small world with your Golden Core cultivation, the Heavenly Dao has sensed this and bestowed a reward upon you!]

[Congratulations on acquiring the supernatural power—Spatial Control (Low Grade)!]

[Spatial Control (Low Grade): Allows for basic control over spatial power, enabling short-distance spatial jumps.]

Ye Hui was completely dumbfounded when he saw the long list of rewards on the system panel.

He originally just wanted to keep this dungeon so that Sakura and Tomoyo could practice, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion.

A private paradise?

Doesn't this mean he has a private world that he can carry with him everywhere?

Furthermore, you can freely customize the environment and monsters within?

This is practically a "GM backstage" tailor-made for him!

And that Tower of Trials, you can tell it's a good thing just from the name!
To his even greater surprise, he gained a new supernatural power as a result.

Spatial control!

As we all know, space is king, and time is supreme!

Although it's only at the beginner level, it's already powerful enough.

Even if the space is sealed off later, neither earth-based nor sword-wielding techniques will be able to leave this space.

This supernatural ability also allows him to ignore spatial blockades!

"Ye, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhi Shi asked softly when she saw him standing there in a daze.
