The Celestial Maiden had said there were six crystals in total, but Ye Fan wasn’t sure of the specifics. For now, he had obtained the Lan Jing, Red Crystal, Black Crystal, and Purple Crystal, aning there were two more crystals he had yet to acquire. Among the four crystals, the Purple Crystal had advanced the most; it not only possessed a spiritual apparition but also had a human form. The Black Crystal, after absorbing a significant amount of spirit energy from the Dead Sea in southern Annam, had also acquired a spiritual body, but it hadn’t yet obtained a substantial human form.
As for the Red Crystal and Lan Jing, Ye Fan had obtained them the earliest, yet they remained re crystals, not even acquiring a spiritual form.
The Red Crystal had created an illusion of slaughter within the underground caves beneath the Dead Sea, after which it fell into a coma. Ye Fan had tried various thods to awaken it but with little success.
"Master, what are you planning? Little Red is still unconscious, we can’t help it train!"
In the room, the Purple Crystal transford into a spiritual shape, swirling around Ye Fan like a ghost. Nearby, Lan Jing tried to follow but couldn’t catch up, while the Black Crystal quietly perched on Ye Fan’s shoulder, jointly watching the motionless Red Crystal on the ground.
"It lapsed into a coma after creating an illusion. I can’t wake it up now, but I can employ certain thods to make it continue producing illusions!" Ye Fan said.
The few small crystals could not comprehend what Ye Fan intended to do, seeing it as mysterious.
Yet Ye Fan was the master, and they naturally acknowledged him as such due to his affinity with them. They wouldn’t question his decisions.
"Unfortunately, my cultivation isn’t high enough, so I can only create a simple illusion. Hopefully, it can awaken it from its slumber!" Ye Fan had previously experinted with creating stagnant spaces, back when he was rely in the Divinity Transformation Stage. Now he had reached the Mahayana Realm, making it easier to create a small space independent of external existence.
In this particular space, ti would slow down, and all matter inside would flow according to his energy.
"Master, it doesn’t seem any different." After Ye Fan completed the special space, the Purple Crystal remarked.
"Perhaps your inherent energy is too powerful. Even if I can create a special illusion space, I can’t bring you all inside. You should try channeling your energy into this illusion space as well. With your help, I’m sure it will work!" Ye Fan continued maintaining his small space.
"Chirp, chirp!" Lan Jing, hearing Ye Fan’s words, hopped around excitedly, but sadly it didn’t know how to release its energy.
The Purple Crystal was equally clueless. Only the Black Crystal seed to grasp so trick; it directly used its spiritual form to project a unique crystal energy into the space Ye Fan maintained. Under the influence of this special energy, the ti within Ye Fan’s space began to slow dramatically.
"How did you do that?" The Purple Crystal was anxious, unable to help Ye Fan, while the Black Crystal managed to, indicating it was less competent than the Black Crystal. It had just attained a human form with Ye Fan’s help, and now it didn’t want to be outdone.
The Black Crystal communicated using a spiritual thod, saying, "Transfer your energy to , and I’ll give it to Master."
"Hmph, no way! Why won’t you teach ?" The Purple Crystal was quite jealous, but even jealousy was futile; the Black Crystal was straightforward, not unwilling to teach, but it didn’t know how.
Eventually, the Purple Crystal followed the Black Crystal’s advice, transferring energy first to the Black Crystal, which then passed it on to Ye Fan.
Even combined with Ye Fan, the Black Crystal, and the Purple Crystal’s strength, they couldn’t produce an illusion space potent enough to wake Red Crystal. Nearby, a little guy was hopping around — Lan Jing. Despite their energy comparisons, Lan Jing’s power was indeed the strongest.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Transfer your energy to , I’ll pass it to Black, who’ll give it to Master!" The Purple Crystal shouted at Lan Jing.
"Chirp, chirp!" Lan Jing was naturally unwilling, but in the end, it opted not to let the Purple Crystal absorb its energy. Instead, it directly transferred energy to the Black Crystal, instantly causing the fortified space’s ti to slow to barely one percent of the external world, aning while a hundred seconds passed outside, the space inside wouldn’t even undergo one second.
As ti ticked away second by second, the Purple Crystal was growing weary. "Master, when will this end?" she asked.
"If the depletion becos excessive, stop. I’m still able to last." Ye Fan treated this thod as training because the Black Crystal rged the energy from the three crystals into the space he maintained, a vast portion of which he could actually absorb and convert.
This was why the four small crystals acknowledged him as master, as his spiritual energy coincided with the crystals’ energy affinity.
In the end, it wasn’t just three small crystals releasing energy, but Ye Fan’s body also emitted special energy feedback, reducing the three crystals’ energy consumption. Gradually, they started adapting to this unique training style.
"It’ll be great if Little Red wakes up, we can all train with Master," the Purple Crystal said joyously.
She felt light, whereas the Black Crystal in the middle was rather spent; it simultaneously received energy transferred from the Purple and Lan Jing to Ye Fan, as well as Ye Fan’s feedback energy to the three crystals, akin to being a conductor, bearing an enormous pressure it could hardly endure.
"Black, just hang on a bit longer," Ye Fan said. "I promised you, as long as your energy grows stronger, I’ll help you acquire a human form."
"Uh..." The Black Crystal, whose power was already waning, suddenly perked up upon hearing Ye Fan’s echo from the Tongling Mirror. Attaining a human form was its longstanding dream.
Despite its exhaustion, it held on determinedly, gritting its teeth.
Finally, after roughly five minutes, signs of awakening appeared in the Red Crystal, indicating Ye Fan’s illusion therapy had so effects.
Inside was only five minutes, but outside, five hundred minutes had passed.
After another three or four minutes, the Red Crystal stirred; the Purple Crystal beside scolded, "Little Red, get up quickly! Master can’t hold on much longer. If you don’t, he’ll help Black obtain the body that was ant for you — you’ll be stuck as a stone forever!"
Provoking words are always effective. Initially, the Red Crystal barely moved, but upon hearing these words, it suddenly transford into a misty red haze, filling the special space Ye Fan had created.
The red haze finally materialized into a fully red spiritual form, bearing the semblance of a maiden. Unfortunately, it remained a foggy mist, making the appearance indistinct, yet it could hazily discern a young beauty.
"Master," the Red Crystal awoke, gaining a spiritual form, and spoke softly to Ye Fan.
