Chapter 1427: Chapter 561 Thorough Control_2

The Control Boundary Stele is covered not only with unknown runes but also with numerous connecting channels. These channels link the runes together in pairs. However, these connecting channels are extremely fine, undetectable by technological instruments, and can only be sensed through Spiritual Power.

The so-called refining process is actually the refiner infusing Spiritual Power into the connecting channels of the Boundary Stele, and then following a certain sequence to progressively light up the above runes. During this process, the refiner must know the correct refining sequence to make the right connections between channels. A single error in connecting the channels could trigger an explosion from the immense energy within the Control Boundary Stele, destroying the entire Cave Heaven Paradise.

After a significant boost in his Spiritual Power, Yan Fei’s memory had reached the point where he could recall anything instantly and recited the refining routes like second nature. With the Auxiliary Brain inside his mind offering reminders, Yan Fei was not at all afraid of messing up the refining route. His only worry now was whether his Spiritual Power and body could withstand the complete refinement of this Control Boundary Stele…

But at this moment, Yan Fei had no choice but to proceed. He channeled a thread of his Spiritual Power, advancing along a tiny connecting channel and then discovered a Mysterious Rune up ahead. As this rune came into contact with Yan Fei’s Spiritual Power, it rapidly absorbed it, much like a person who had been starving for a long time. After absorbing a large amount of Yan Fei’s Spiritual Power, the rune shifted from its original dullness to a bright luminescence.

Almost the instant the rune was lit up, a massive backlash struck Yan Fei, nearly crushing his body into a pulp. Fortunately, Yan Fei’s physique was incredibly robust, toughing out this immense backlash. Only then did Yan Fei understand why refining the Boundary Stele required such physical resilience, for with each rune he refined, it meant that he had taken control of a part of the Cave Heaven Paradise’s authority and would bear the enormous pressure from that part. If his body could not endure it, the refining would fail, and Yan Fei would meet complete death…

Yan Fei’s Spiritual Power was originally very powerful. With the further strengthening from his cultivation techniques, despite the rune continuously absorbing his Spiritual Power, the consumption of his Spiritual Power was negligible for him. After lighting up the first rune and withstanding the huge backlash, Yan Fei’s Spiritual Power moved through another unimaginably fine connecting channel towards the second rune, starting the process to light up the second rune. Once this rune was successfully lit, Yan Fei’s body was subjected to another backlash…

Thus, Yan Fei continuously refined runes on the Control Boundary Stele. The time needed to illuminate each rune was not long, and the lost Spiritual Power was not much, but the number of runes on the Control Boundary Stele reached into the thousands. To refine so many runes was a great test for Yan Fei’s Spiritual Power. Meanwhile, his body had to continuously withstand the backlash from refining, and after dozens and hundreds of times, serious damage finally manifested in his body, on the verge of collapse. Luckily, Yan Fei’s Special Ability was the “Life Force” within his body. So whenever he faced major physical issues, he would immediately circulate his “Life Force” to heal his injuries in an instant…

Despite facing immense difficulties, the speed of Yan Fei’s refinement of the Control Boundary Stele did not slow down. The thought of gaining control of the amazing and vast Cave Heaven Paradise excited him as if he was invigorated by an adrenaline shot, continuously pouring Spiritual Power into the Control Boundary Stele without any pause, determined to completely refine this stele.

The Control Boundary Stele had an immense number of runes, nearly ten thousand, and the number of twin connecting channels was even more, reaching into tens of millions. If it wasn’t for Yan Fei having obtained the detailed refining route left by Xuanhuangzi, trying to find the only correct route among the infinite possibilities would be like indulging in a fantasy. The last time Tripitaka was in the small space at the Underwater Plaza in the Bermuda Triangle, if he hadn’t gained the memories of that old Ghost that invaded his brain, he wouldn’t have dared to randomly refine that Boundary Stele…

Yan Fei was fast in his actions, but the progress of his refinement was still incredibly slow. A whole day had passed, and only one-tenth of the runes on the entire Control Boundary Stele had started to glow, while the other nine-tenths remained dim.

Refining the Control Boundary Stele was a massive undertaking. Fortunately, Yan Fei had made sure to eat his fill and drink lots of water beforehand, ensuring he had enough physical strength to persist until the end of the refinement. As a God-Level Expert, Yan Fei had complete control over his body; if he wished, he could altogether forgo the expulsion of bodily waste and wait until after the successful refinement of the stele to do so.

As time passed day by day, Yan Fei’s spiritual power recovery rate could no longer keep up with the consumption speed. At the same time, his body has been on the verge of collapse many times, which made him use the “life force” within his body to adjust himself back to normal repeatedly, but the “life force” inside him was also becoming increasingly scarce. Then, Yan Fei’s situation became increasingly desperate, but he remained unmoved and showed no sign of retreat, continuing to pour his dwindling spiritual power into the Control Boundary Stele…

Ten days later, when Yan Fei’s spiritual power and the “life force” within him were about to be exhausted, he finally lit up the last rune on the Control Boundary Stele. Then he saw the entire Control Boundary Stele emit dazzling light, and suddenly it shrank and shot into Yan Fei’s forehead, appearing in his mind. From this moment on, it signified that Yan Fei had completely refined the Control Boundary Stele and gained control of this Cave Heaven Paradise.

As the Control Boundary Stele entered Yan Fei’s forehead, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind. But at this time, Yan Fei was exhausted and hungry, having no energy to check what these bits of information were. He simply fell over and slept, quickly entering a deep sleep.

Two days later, Yan Fei woke up again. After waking up, Yan Fei took out a large amount of food and water from the Universal Space and started to eat and drink. Then he took care of his personal hygiene, and after all this was done, Yan Fei once again appeared energized.

Next, Yan Fei sat on the ground and began to check the information transmitted to his mind by the Control Boundary Stele. Although the information was complex, its main content was an introduction to this Cave Heaven Paradise and the methods to control it.

Firstly, the information included the refining method of this Cave Heaven Paradise. After advancing his spiritual power to a higher level, Yan Fei could slowly understand this information. Although the Cultivation Civilization calls this kind of space a Cave Heaven Paradise, it is actually a use of spatial technology. If it were the Technological Civilization, this action would be called space creation, and therefore, it is also interpretable through scientific methods.

Whether it’s the Cultivation Civilization or the High-Tech Civilization, they can both perform space creation, but their methods vary. Yan Fei couldn’t clarify the differences within, but if it were Yang Qi, he would definitely understand what is going on. Because in Yang Qi’s view, there is no difference between the Cultivation Civilization and the Technological Civilization – the methods they use are essentially the exploitation of the Cosmic Rules, all within the realm of technology, and as long as he is exposed to these techniques, he could interpret them.

No matter which method is used for space creation, at the beginning, the space inside will be Void, empty of everything. In order to allow humans and organisms to live inside, not only various rules have to be created, but also soil and rocks from the outside world have to be moved in. Only by adjusting the rules of the Cave Heaven Paradise to be the same as the outside can it be turned into a paradise for organisms.

This Cave Heaven Paradise bears the great mission of allowing the remnants of the World of Cultivation to recuperate and breed, aiming for resurgence. So with the help of the World of Cultivation, Xuanhuangzi has not only consumed massive Heavenly Gems and Earthly Treasures but also moved a large amount of land, mountain ranges, and rivers from the World of Cultivation into the Cave Heaven Paradise.

The huge mountains, flat land, and enormous lakes that Yan Fei saw below were not conjured out of thin air, but all came from the World of Cultivation. It’s just that the rules of the Cave Heaven Paradise were not perfect at the time, so when these lands were moved in, all organisms originally living on them were exterminated. It was for this reason Yan Fei couldn’t find any signs of life on the lands below.
