Time to Expand the Sphere of Influence

Another ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast opened its eyes once again.

It had revived for the third time.

The moment it saw Yi Chen, it hurriedly sprawled flat on the ground.

It tried its best to make its body tremble, continuing to express its submission.

Yi Chen was quite satisfied with its attitude.

He opened the door and called a tribesman inside.

"You cultivate here and check whether any Spiritual Power is leaking out from your Qi Sea!"

Yi Chen gestured to the tribesman.

The tribesman did not understand why Yi Chen was doing this, but he did not hesitate. He immediately sat down cross-legged.

He quickly entered a Meditative State.

Yi Chen pointed at the cultivating tribesman, signaling for the Miniature Ferocious Beast to go over.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast had clearly understood Yi Chen's meaning. Seeing that he had no intention of killing it this time, it immediately scampered over joyfully, following his gesture to the tribesman's side.

"Well? Is any Spiritual Power leaking out from your Qi Sea?"

After a moment, Yi Chen asked.

"No!"

The tribesman shook his head with certainty.

"No?"

Yi Chen was somewhat surprised.

He moved closer to the Miniature Ferocious Beast.

At once, he sensed a thread of Spiritual Power leaking from his Qi Sea.

It was coming from the direction where the Miniature Ferocious Beast was.

"Well, aren't you something? You really picked me alone to steal from?"

Yi Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He had the tribesman bring Gu Li and Luo Ge over.

The result was still the same.

Although Gu Li and Luo Ge were not much lower than him in cultivation realm.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast seemed determined to steal only Yi Chen's Spiritual Power.

It had absolutely no interest in Gu Li or Luo Ge.

"Forget it. Do whatever you want!"

Yi Chen waved Gu Li and Luo Ge away, then returned to the wooden bed and sat cross-legged.

He soon entered a Meditative State.

In any case, the Miniature Ferocious Beast could not absorb much Spiritual Power, so it had little effect on his cultivation speed.

If he wanted to study this Miniature Ferocious Beast's resurrection ability in the future, he could only let it do as it pleased.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast watched Yi Chen reenter his Meditative State and hesitated for more than ten seconds. Clearly, it still could not resist the temptation of his Spiritual Power.

It quietly climbed onto the wooden bed and lay down beside Yi Chen.

Its face was full of bliss.

Before long, it fell into a deep sleep, snoring away.

"Looks like this little fellow successfully used its ability to attract Yi Chen. That was why Yi Chen did nothing to it even when it lay beside him again."

"I'm so jealous I could die. Why isn't it me lying beside my male god?"

"Give it a rest! With Yi Chen's personality, if you want him to see you in a different light, you need to show an ability that can attract him."

"What a pity this Miniature Ferocious Beast appeared on an Exile Planet. If it had appeared on another planet, its ability to revive after death would definitely make it the perfect subject for us to study the taboos of life."

"Keeping it beside Yi Chen is simply throwing away a priceless treasure. His cultivation realm will reach its limit sooner or later. He simply cannot grow to the level where he can study an existence like this."

"Indeed, the cultivation method he created is highly likely to change the direction of human advancement. For all humanity, its significance is comparable to the first human in primitive times to use a tool."

"But the cultivation method he created will ultimately need to be passed down and improved generation after generation before it can reach greater heights. This Miniature Ferocious Beast with the ability to rise from the dead has no meaning staying by his side."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room heatedly discussed Yi Chen's decision to keep the Miniature Ferocious Beast.

Their opinions, however, varied greatly.

The female viewers were filled with envy and jealousy that the Miniature Ferocious Beast could sleep beside Yi Chen.

Ordinary viewers focused on why Yi Chen had subdued the Miniature Ferocious Beast.

As for the researchers, they drooled over the Miniature Ferocious Beast.

For three consecutive days, Yi Chen was surprised to discover that the Miniature Ferocious Beast beside him was becoming more and more interesting.

After absorbing his Spiritual Power for three straight days, it actually stopped absorbing it.

Instead, it began absorbing the Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth.

Its strength began rising dramatically.

This was actually a Ferocious Beast that could rapidly increase its strength by absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy!

By the time Yi Chen broke through to the Spirit Release Realm Fourth Level, the Miniature Ferocious Beast's size had not changed much, but by his estimate, its strength had at least doubled.

When Yi Chen broke through to the Spirit Release Realm Fifth Level, the Miniature Ferocious Beast's strength had already surged several more times.

It had reached a level comparable to a Level 3 Ferocious Beast.

Yi Chen was relatively calm. He knew little about Ferocious Beasts and merely felt that the little thing was quite special.

The viewers in the Live Stream Room, however, had their understanding of Ferocious Beasts overturned once again.

Because even Full Level Ferocious Beasts in their juvenile stage could not possibly rise from Level 1 to Level 3 in only half a month.

After breaking through to the Spirit Release Realm Fifth Level, Yi Chen did not continue cultivating.

Because it was time to expand the sphere of influence.

He pushed open the wooden door.

A warm breeze rushed toward him.

In The Valley, fresh shoots had emerged from the green grass.

The occasional wildflower could already be seen.

Spring had arrived.

Yi Chen immediately had the tribesmen notify the entire tribe to gather.

"What is Yi Chen doing? Could it be that he's going to teach the complete version of the Cloud Stepping Art?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if Yi Chen isn't afraid that his ruling position will be affected and plans to teach out the complete version of the Cloud Stepping Art, he would still have to wait until a large number of Flame Mountain Tribe members break through to the Spirit Release Realm First Level."

"Right now, the average realm of the Flame Mountain Tribe members is only between the Qi Condensation Realm Fourth Stage and Fifth Stage. They simply can't learn the Cloud Stepping Art."

"The Flame Mountain Tribe has too few geniuses, and their average talent is a little too poor. If we want to learn the complete version of the Cloud Stepping Art, we still have to watch their progress."

"Be content! As people secretly learning from him, it's already quite good that we can learn anything at all. I'm only worried that Yi Chen won't teach the complete version of the Cloud Stepping Art to the Flame Mountain Tribe members, leaving us unable to secretly learn it as well."

"Being born human is too difficult. We finally obtained the improved version of the Chaos Art, and now we want the complete version of the Cloud Stepping Art."

"If we really get the complete version of the Cloud Stepping Art, Yi Chen might create another cultivation art."

"It feels like all humanity's happiness index is now in Yi Chen's hands. Since he delayed releasing the improved version of the Chaos Art, humanity's happiness index had fallen for over a month, plunging from a barely passing sixty points to twenty."

"When he taught the improved version of the Chaos Art to the Flame Mountain Tribe's geniuses, humanity's happiness index immediately soared to ninety-two points, setting a happiness index record for more than two thousand years."

"Second only to two thousand years ago, when the Military announced that humanity had officially unified the Milky Way and the Federal Government released a new welfare announcement."

"Now, he still shows no intention of teaching the complete version of the Cloud Stepping Art. According to the AI Brain's calculations, humanity's happiness index has fallen back to eighty points over the past month or so. In a few more days, it will probably be in the seventies."

"He probably just felt cooped up after cultivating in seclusion for more than a month and wanted to come out and stir up something to improve his mood!"

"With spring warming the land and flowers blooming, it is the start of another year. He should be arranging the hunting plans for the entire year."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room were all guessing why Yi Chen had suddenly gathered the entire tribe.

Yet not a single one of them guessed correctly.
