The three of them flew swiftly, and everywhere they passed transformed into a lush forest, vibrant with Spiritual Energy. Almost every spot was an excellent cultivation ground for mortals.
Such a spiritual paradise, if placed outside, would surely cause countless Sects to fight over it.
Yet here, such places were abundant!
After more than half an hour, Ye Kai and the others encountered no unexpected events and showed no signs of joy. Although the Spiritual Energy was plentiful along the way, the surroundings were eerily quiet, as if it were a lifeless land devoid of any creatures or scenery.
This scene left everyone feeling uneasy and quite oppressive.
They moved past some winding cliffs but found nothing of value.
Ye Kai furrowed his brow, not wanting to dwell on it too much. He immediately increased his Speed, transforming into a streak of white light that shot upwards into the sky.
After flying for a full hour, they finally exited the mountain path. However, when they looked back, they discovered that the original exit was merely a cave opening situated on the cliff face.
After a brief examination, disbelief washed over their faces. They hurriedly activated their escape light and flew around the vicinity for quite some time before returning to their original location.
But their faces were filled with undeniable astonishment!
What was this place? If Ye Kai had to describe it, he could only sum it up with one word: "massive."
He had seen various towering mountains and even had two large islands under his belt, with Spirit Master Island spanning over three thousand miles—truly a colossal entity.
Yet this single mountain range seemed to dwarf even Spirit Master Island by at least tenfold.
Being here felt like being at the bottom of a well; looking towards the surrounding cliffs made him dizzy just from the sheer height of the mountains, like pillars reaching for the heavens.
As he watched Shen smilingly transform into flowing light from above a cliff and descend, Ye Kai truly grasped just how high this cliff was—it could be divided into eighty-one layers, each layer resembling a cave.
It was enough to accommodate countless cultivators within its depths.
Just the surrounding cliffs alone could sustain a hundred thousand cultivators; this gave him an idea of how vast this place truly was.
Now he stood beneath another mountain that seemed to rival those legendary Sacred Mountains he had heard about. For a moment at the foot of this giant mountain, he realized it might be much taller than Lingyun Peak, where they had entered this realm.
But he couldn't be bothered to compare; after all, there was no basis for comparison—one was a celestial mountain sanctuary while the other was merely a high peak.
Flying alongside the deity, they headed towards the cliff face directly in front of the cave entrance. Looking up, the interior of this layer of the cave was filled with lush greenery, with no end in sight. Numerous spiritual herbs were scattered throughout, including thousand-year-old ginseng and reishi mushrooms, which were hardly valuable.
Only those over ten thousand years old could be considered average; the truly astonishing ones were the ginseng and reishi that had developed spiritual intelligence over hundreds of thousands of years.
However, for some unknown reason, despite their age, those ginseng dolls that were nearly capable of transforming into human forms had not taken on any shape. Instead, only a vague, plump figure resembling a doll formed above their bodies.
It was important to note that this was merely one of the eighty-one layers on a single cliff face. Given such abundance, one could only imagine that this vast sacred realm must contain unparalleled treasures, even spiritual herbs capable of transformation.
Yet it wasn't just these wonders that left Ye Kai astounded; what truly rendered him speechless was that, according to the deity's introduction, this enormous cave itself was situated within a massive restriction. Each layer had its corresponding restriction array.
As soon as one reached the cave's exterior and looked inward, they would immediately see a hazy light screen descending from above, seemingly enveloping the entire cave in its embrace.
Such grandiosity left Ye Kai feeling utterly astonished!
This was undoubtedly something only an ancient cultivator—specifically a celestial-level powerhouse—could achieve.
Gazing at the distant light screen, Ye Kai hesitated for a moment before directing his escape light towards the path explored by the deity.
After flying for half an hour, Ye Kai finally arrived before a white light screen.
The escape light he commanded felt minuscule against such an immense light screen, akin to a toothpick standing before Niagara Falls—there was simply no comparison.
Upon getting closer and examining the thick barrier that seemed impossible to gauge in depth, Ye Kai suddenly turned around and flew back without looking back.
"Lord God, what's wrong? I sense that there are definitely good things behind this light screen; we can't give up!" The deity exclaimed urgently, rushing forward and causing Ye Kai to feel somewhat flustered.
"Deity, this is our territory; it can only belong to us. There are many people outside who have their eyes set on our base!"
Ye Kai gritted his teeth and whispered, "Everything here must belong to us. Let's go set up some defensive fortifications first and then send out a million subordinates to explore thoroughly. We have plenty of time."
"Alright! This time we will make them kneel and sing our praises!!!" The deity shouted triumphantly while clenching their fists.
Hearing such a bold declaration made Ye Kai want to suggest that the deity tone it down a bit. However, considering how long the deity had been sealed and his own lack of security, he quickly dismissed that thought.
Regardless of how things turned out, they would have to engage in battle anyway; it would be better to use it as an opportunity to test his subordinates' combat abilities.
Looking at the deity's carefree demeanor gave him confidence.
It was indeed the case; the illustrious Starship, even when facing enemies capable of surviving in space, and whose combat power was not significantly affected, would likely encounter few surprises.
After all, as they gradually fused technology with cultivation, runes, sorcery, and various systems, their combat strength had long surpassed previous levels by an unimaginable margin.
Moreover, when he saw that Light Screen, he knew without needing to test it with force that the terrifying spiritual power contained within this Restriction was palpable.
Even though he himself was merely at the Peak Golden Core Stage, it was likely that even a Nascent Soul True Monarch Stage cultivator would find it impossible to break through such an absolute barrier relying solely on brute force.
On the way back to Lingyun Peak, Ye Kai turned back to gaze at the mountain. He still could not discern its true size, but his heart burned with excitement; everything here would soon belong to him.
As long as he could see it and the divine presence appeared, accompanied by an even more terrifyingly vast number of Starships, his confidence grew stronger. He absolutely would not allow anyone to interfere with his gains.
As soon as everyone stepped out of the passage and stood above Lingyun Peak, the ground suddenly trembled slightly. Then a deep rumbling sound echoed from all directions, continuous and unending.
Everyone paused and exchanged glances in confusion.
"Could it be that someone has come to cause trouble?" Han Xiaoshan exclaimed wide-eyed in surprise.
