Although everyone said not to worry unnecessarily, in reality, they couldn’t help but occasionally glance up at the anomaly in the sky.
Yang Fei quickly noticed that Tong Yunshu was frowning, seemingly deep in thought.
He walked over and communicated with her telepathically, "What’s wrong?"
Tong Yunshu glanced at him, then at the surroundings, and silently shook her head.
After the banquet, everyone went to rest.
No one had slept all night, and although the fierce battle around four in the morning didn’t cause significant injuries, it was mentally exhausting, and everyone needed a good rest.
Yang Fei returned to his room with Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu.
After closing the door, he asked Tong Yunshu, "Yun Shu, did you notice something?"
He recalled the last time when Tong Yunshu had gazed up at the sky and mentioned that there seemed to be something up there.
At that time, Yang Fei couldn’t perceive anything in the sky and thought Tong Yunshu was being overly sensitive.
After all, space beyond the Earth had long been explored by Earth’s advanced technology; outside the atmosphere lay the vast and boundless universe, so how could there be anything else?
But now, a giant black hole vortex had suddenly appeared in the sky, reminding Yang Fei of Tong Yunshu’s previous warning.
He realized that Tong Yunshu’s sensing ability was incredibly strong, able to perceive things even he couldn’t.
The powerful special power elements that appeared between heaven and earth were first discovered by Tong Yunshu.
Even when the Cloud Mist Mountain Array was formed, Tong Yunshu sensed the spiritual energy pouring down from the sky, realizing it was leaking from the Hidden Sect Plane.
During the celebration outside earlier, Yang Fei sensed something was off about Tong Yunshu’s expression and asked her, but she didn’t respond.
Now alone with her, Yang Fei asked again.
Beside them, Qin Yanyang curiously watched Tong Yunshu.
There seemed to be a deep worry hidden between Tong Yunshu’s brows. Seeing the two looking at her, she smiled and shook her head, "Nothing."
Yang Fei frowned, "You seemed very worried before, as if you had found something. Are you sure there was nothing?"
Tong Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps I was hallucinating at the time, but thinking carefully, that’s unlikely."
Yang Fei hurriedly asked, "What kind of hallucination? I feel your senses are very keen and precise. Tell us what really happened."
Qin Yanyang finally realized something was wrong and asked, "What’s going on?"
Yang Fei explained what happened last time when Tong Yunshu sensed there was something wrong with the sky.
Qin Yanyang was shocked.
Looking at Tong Yunshu with surprise, she said, "You sensed the anomaly in the sky early on?"
Tong Yunshu shook her head and said, "Back then, I just felt there was something wrong with the sky, making me inexplicably terrified. But I didn’t know what the situation was. I didn’t expect such a giant black hole vortex to appear in the sky today."
Qin Yanyang looked at Tong Yunshu with astonishment and grew more curious and respectful towards this rival.
She asked, "What kind of hallucination did you experience before?"
Tong Yunshu, without bickering with Qin Yanyang this time, thought for a moment and said, "Ever since the black hole vortex appeared, I have harbored a strong unease, constantly... constantly feeling that there are countless eyes watching us from within that black hole vortex."
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang exchanged a glance.
They had carefully observed the black hole vortex earlier, and apart from sensing that the powerful power elements were dozens of times denser than before, they couldn’t perceive anything else.
It was hard to imagine why Tong Yunshu would feel that there were countless eyes from there staring at Earth.
Qin Yanyang thought for a moment, then said, "From such a distance, even if they were extraordinarily powerful, they couldn’t possibly see what’s happening on Earth, right?"
Yang Fei nodded, thinking that was quite reasonable.
Tong Yunshu said, "Yes, which is why I thought I was just imagining things, having hallucinations."
Despite her words, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang did not relax; for some reason, they both felt that Tong Yunshu’s intuition might be right.
It was an absurd feeling.
After a moment of silence, Qin Yanyang said, "No matter. Just like Yang Fei said before, if a cataclysmic disaster were truly to descend, worrying now wouldn’t help. We should just deal with it when it comes and focus on the present; future issues can be dealt with when they arise."
Tong Yunshu nodded and said, "Yes, I think it’s actually a good thing for us right now. At least these power elements are quite suitable for cultivation. Moreover, their appearance seems greatly beneficial to Rune Tao, making its effects even greater with the power elements’ help."
Yang Fei nodded, "Exactly. I feel that with the current spiritual energy environment, my strength will improve rapidly. Yanyang, you should also seize the time to cultivate and harness these new power elements to complete your Foundation Establishment soon. I think this kind of foundation will become the basis for future cultivation."
Qin Yanyang said, "Yes, I understand."
Tong Yunshu said, "Yang Fei, I’ll be with you today."
Yang Fei didn’t expect her to suddenly say that and was a bit taken aback, glancing carefully at Qin Yanyang.
However, Qin Yanyang wasn’t angry and said, "I have matters to deal with; you two rest."
Yang Fei felt a bit embarrassed, wanting to call Qin Yanyang back but not knowing what to say to comfort her.
Though he had always wanted "dual flight" with them, it seemed difficult to realize.
Moreover, after this great battle, Qin Yanyang indeed had many matters to attend to.
Time flew by, and a month had passed since the anomaly first appeared in the sky on the day of the battle at Yunwu Mountain.
Initially, the world was in a state of panic and concern, with major media forums intensely discussing the black hole vortex in the sky.
Debates about aliens grew more intense.
People argued about whether Earth’s civilization or alien civilizations were stronger, and how Earth should respond to aliens.
However, as time passed, these discussions gradually faded.
It seemed as if nothing significant had changed on Earth.
Aside from the sudden appearance of the black hole vortex in the sky, the world showed no other change.
In fact, everyone seemed to notice the air improving.
Elders and infirm individuals, after a month of high-concentration spiritual energy, all felt more spirited.
For cultivators worldwide, the anomaly in the sky actually presented an unprecedented grand opportunity.
Many proclaimed the true arrival of the era of spiritual energy revival.
Numerous Inner Strength Martial Artists, previously suppressed below the Energy Transformation Realm, achieved breakthroughs within the month.
Even strong ones at the Nine-Grade Energy Transformation Peak successfully stepped into the Innate Realm within this short month.
At Yunwu Mountain’s Base, amongst the thirty-three experts who came to Yang Fei and learned the Divine Cultivation Technique from the Taoists, three more attained the Divine Travel Realm.
At 11:45 AM today, the scorching sun shone brightly, but suddenly a thunderclap sounded above Yunwu Mountain.
Everyone rushed out of their rooms, looking toward the sky. Get full chapters from novel~fire~net
They had always remained vigilant about the black hole vortex in the sky; with the sudden clap of thunder on this sunny day, they thought catastrophe might be coming.
However, when they looked up, they found the sky as calm as ever, but higher above, there was a figure hovering.
Above Qin Yanyang’s head, lightning gathered and then struck toward her body.
