Jin Ling was startled.

How did this spirit ship arrive so silently?

He could be considered a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with keen senses. Although he was focused on piloting the spirit boat just now, when such a large spirit ship flew in from behind, the sound of it cutting through the air should have been significant, and he should have seen it much earlier.

Wait!

The sound of this spirit ship cutting through the air is so small.

Did it use a special array to envelop and conceal the sound?

Jin Ling was secretly alarmed, unleashing his mana fully, and the spirit boat suddenly accelerated forward with a burst of speed.

Bai Yu was jolted awake by the sudden acceleration. Just as he was about to ask what was happening, his expression changed immediately.

Sitting facing Jin Ling, he opened his eyes and saw the spirit ship trailing far behind in the void.

"Damn, how did they catch up?" Bai Yu exclaimed in shock and instinctively summoned the Mixed Element Bell, ready for defense at any moment.

Jin Ling said, "I just discovered it too. There's some kind of special array covering this spirit ship, making the sound of it cutting through the air very faint."

Bai Yu took a deep breath and said, "Push the speed of the spirit boat to the maximum."

Jin Ling had already done so, yet the massive spirit ship still followed closely behind.

"The spirit ship's speed is faster than ours. Sooner or later, they'll catch up. Senior Brother, what should we do?" Jin Ling asked anxiously.

Bai Yu was equally tense inside, but he steadied his state of mind, saying, "No worries, didn't you forget the master lent me the Mixed Element Bell?"

With that, he channeled mana, and the Mixed Element Bell emitted a dazzling, brilliant light, suddenly enlarging and enveloping the entire spirit boat.

"Huh?"

On the spirit ship, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were on the deck, keeping their eyes fixed on the spirit boat that was continuously approaching, looking forward to a fierce battle when they caught up.

However, suddenly, a dazzling, brilliant light erupted from the spirit boat, blinding them from seeing anything.

When the light faded, the spirit boat had disappeared altogether.

"D*mn, it can turn invisible? How the hell does this work?" Yang Fei drew a breath of cold air and exclaimed in frustration.

Qin Yanyang was equally baffled, saying, "It can turn invisible? The divine power means of the cultivation world are truly mind-boggling."

Lu Chen's voice came from within the ship cabin: "They can't actually turn invisible; it's the protection color of the Mixed Element Bell, which creates an illusion that makes them invisible to us."

"Oh? Illusion?" Yang Fei asked in surprise.

Lu Chen replied, "Yes, they're right ahead of us; it's just that we can't see them with the naked eye."

"If we can't see them and they change direction, they'll quickly escape completely from us, making it hard to find them again," Yang Fei said anxiously.

Qin Yanyang directly asked, "Is there a way to continue tracking them?"

Lu Chen said, "As long as they're not far away, we can track their position through light and sound waves."

Qin Yanyang's eyes brightened, nodding, "You're right; as long as they're nearby, sound waves or even light can reveal their location."

Yang Fei, being less educated, understood partially and asked, "How does that work?"

Qin Yanyang said, "Release the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, let it roar towards the front, and by the echo of the sound waves, we can determine their approximate position."

Yang Fei's eyes lit up.

Exactly, sound waves travel in straight lines and will produce echoes when they encounter obstacles.

Although ordinary people struggle to detect these subtle echoes of sound waves, the few of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, particularly sensitive to capturing sound wave nuances and couldn't escape their ears and perception.

Of course, the higher the sound waves, the better the effect.

Yang Fei immediately released the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast from the Spirit Pet Bag.

After having been fed a large number of spirit stones by Tong Yunshu previously, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast comfortably fell into a slumber, but when Yang Fei summoned it out suddenly, it showed extreme irritation, snorting at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei, however, was worried that if Bai Yu changed the direction of the spirit boat, it would escape too far, and he hurriedly urged the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, "Roar loudly toward the front, help me catch the enemy, and you'll be heavily rewarded."

"Roar!"

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast's eyes lit up and it roared loudly towards the front.

Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and Lu Chen, who had run out from the ship cabin control room, all pricked their ears and released their divine thought, amplifying their perception.

"That way."

Almost at the same time, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang pointed to the left front.

Lu Chen was startled. He quickly steered the spirit ship in the direction the two pointed, then shot them a surprised glance.

He eventually sensed it too, but slightly later than Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.

Though it was a barely noticeable difference, Lu Chen felt deeply frustrated inside.

Yang Fei was understandable.

This guy's Primordial Spirit Thought Power is exceptionally strong, as he and several siblings from the Lingxiao Sect had experienced. But Qin Yanyang, who was clearly only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, how did her perception exceed his?

Could the talent of the Top-grade Earth Spirit Root really be so overwhelming?

While steering the spirit ship to catch up, Lu Chen powerlessly complained inside.

In the cultivation world of the Southern Domain, he had seen many cultivators with exceptional talent, but such extraordinary existences as Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, he had never encountered.

This world, which had just experienced Spiritual Energy Revival, might about be producing two monstrous geniuses.

Meanwhile, on the spirit boat shrouded by the Mixed Element Bell, Bai Yu and Jin Ling felt their eardrums ache, and their heads buzzed loudly.

Although the Mixed Element Bell reflected most of the roaring sound waves of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, the sound waves it emitted were so overwhelming, they were stirred with tumultuous blood and energy even while hiding inside the bell.

"Continue."

On the spirit ship, though Yang Fei's divine thought probed forward, failing to precisely lock onto Bai Yu, Jin Ling, or the Mixed Element Bell or the spirit boat's aura, a chill struck his heart, and he hurriedly urged the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast roared again in the pursuing direction.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang precisely perceived a barrier in the void ahead, reflecting the aggressive sound waves emitted by the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

The direction was right.

Moreover, judging by the time of sound wave bounce, the distance to the enemy was much closer.

The troublesome part was that, although the opponent was ahead, they still couldn't perceive the exact location and thus couldn't lock onto them.

This meant that the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast would need to continuously roar to determine the general position of the opponent.

The Mixed Element Bell truly was a wonderful treasure.

If he could claim it for his own, it would provide an extra layer of security when venturing into the cultivation world.

But continuously relying on this method wasn't a solution.

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast would eventually grow impatient, and prolonged roaring would also damage its vocal cords.

"Lu Chen, is there any special divine power means that can lock onto them?" Yang Fei asked.

Lu Chen's voice came from within the ship cabin, "No. Being able to roughly lock onto the range of the enemy through this method is already the limit. Bai Yu is just unfamiliar with using the Mixed Element Bell, and his mana is too weak to fully utilize the bell's effects; otherwise, we wouldn't have detected them."

Hearing this, Yang Fei felt secretly disappointed but more inclined to secure the Mixed Element Bell.

After four or five roars, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast finally became impatient.

Yang Fei quickly took out a handful of spirit stones and handed them over.

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast swallowed the spirit stones and was revitalized.

Suddenly, Qin Yanyang had an idea, saying, "Let it absorb."

Yang Fei's eyes lit up.

Right, how could he forget about the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast's domineering suction power!

He immediately conveyed the idea to the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

After swallowing more than a dozen spirit stones, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast knew it had to put on a show and its body suddenly expanded, roaring fiercely once more.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang locked onto the position of the enemy again.

As the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast roared once again, it suddenly leaped forward, with a swoosh, it jumped toward the front. Simultaneously, it opened its bloody mouth wide in the void, unleashing a violent suction force, and a slight sound of turbulence was immediately heard from the void ahead.
