In the sky, a purple light streaked by.
Su Tong stood on the back of the Lei Jing Beast, currently hurrying towards the spatial channel. That was the only channel connecting the Northern Territory to the other territories.
However, it had been several decades since a powerful cultivator from the Northern Territory had passed through that spatial channel and left the Northern Territory.
Su Tong held his hands behind his back as he looked at the scenery around him. This was still his first time carefully observing this Northern Territory.
"A year's time passes so quickly!"
It had already been a month since he transmigrated to this continent.
The ancient god language on this continent astonished Su Tong. If not for this, after transmigrating here without the system from his original world, Su Tong really wouldn't have known what to do.
But now, Su Tong was already standing at the peak of the Northern Territory.
And what welcomed him was an even more expansive stage.
"Activating the spatial channel once requires one million spirit stones. It really isn't something ordinary people can pass through!"
Su Tong looked at the spatial channel before him.
Earlier, Luo Zi Yin had told him that passing through this spatial channel required one million spirit stones.
Without hesitation, Su Tong took out one million spirit stones from his spatial bag and waved his hand to drop them into the spatial channel.
As the spirit stones fell in, spiritual energy also began faintly surging within the spatial channel.
"Such overbearing spatial spirit energy!"
Even outside the spatial channel, Su Tong could sense the spatial spirit energy within it.
A while later, the spatial channel opened up, revealing a boat inside.
"So this is the spatial boat?"
Su Tong had heard Luo Zi Yin mention it before.
Without any hesitation, Su Tong brought the Lei Jing Beast with him onto the boat.
The boat was not big, but also not small, looking like it could hold around ten people.
With just Su Tong and the Lei Jing Beast on board, once they got on the spatial boat, it activated.
As the spatial boat moved, the spatial channel behind Su Tong also slowly closed up.
Then, Su Tong stood on the boat as it automatically sailed, heading towards the other side.
This spatial channel was filled with spatial spirit energy everywhere.
However, Su Tong had no way to absorb it. After all, if he absorbed the spatial spirit energy here, he might end up stuck in this place forever.
"When I first arrived in this world, it was also on a huge ship. It felt somewhat bizarre at that time!"
Su Tong muttered to himself, but it also seemed like he was speaking to the Lei Jing Beast beside him.
However, he didn't get a response.
Although this Lei Jing Beast had some intelligence, it wasn't high, like a child, simply able to understand some things while not comprehending others.
Therefore, Su Tong's words now exceeded its comprehension, so the Lei Jing Beast didn't speak.
This spatial channel led to the Central Territory.
Su Tong had no interest at all in the other three territories.
Although the other three territories were not weak, at least without the formation shackles, they had also given rise to quite a few cultivators at the Spiritual Void Realm.
But compared to the Central Territory brimming with talents, they couldn't amount to much.
It was said that the average cultivation level in the Central Territory was extremely high.
One could say Spiritual Voids were everywhere, and Returning Voids were as common as dogs.
Because just the Central Territory alone was larger than the other four territories combined by several times.
On top of that, the Central Territory contained all kinds of heavenly treasures and abundant resources.
There were even many ancient remnants and tombs, and those with the fortune could obtain powerful cultivation techniques, mystic arts, and treasures from within.
At the very least, one could still get all kinds of pills and treasures.
These things resulted in the Central Territory's overall strength being greater than the other four territories by who knew how many times.
Of course, when cultivators from the other four territories reached bottlenecks after entering the Spiritual Void Realm, they would also come to the Central Territory to seek opportunities.
This spatial channel seemed a bit long.
Su Tong estimated it would take at least half a month to get through it.
Half a month in a cultivating state would pass in the blink of an eye.
But within the spatial channel, there was no other spiritual energy, only the spatial spirit force used to maintain the channel.
So these days felt rather dull.
Of course, the lack of absorbable spirit energy didn't mean Su Tong couldn't cultivate.
He still had over ten thousand Hidden Spirit Pellets and millions of spirit stones in his spatial bag.
"Let me try these Hidden Spirit Pellets!"
Su Tong thought and took out a Hidden Spirit Pellet.
It was a pure white bead.
Although called a Hidden Spirit Pellet, it wasn't truly a medicinal pellet.
There were two ways to obtain Hidden Spirit Pellets. One was for cultivators at the Returning Void Realm to compress the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy into a Hidden Spirit Pellet.
Of course, this required expending considerable effort. A cultivator at the Returning Void Realm would need at least two months to condense a single one.
Unless they needed to buy some pills, cultivation techniques, mystic arts, or treasures, few Returning Void Realm cultivators would spend time condensing them.
The other way was using spirit stones to condense the Hidden Spirit Pellets.
Cultivators at the Spiritual Void Realm could condense the spiritual energy within spirit stones into Hidden Spirit Pellets, similar to using heaven and earth spiritual energy.
Only this method was much faster.
But it did waste more spirit stones. Only those top sects would use spirit stones to condense Hidden Spirit Pellets.
Moreover, those weren't used to purchase cultivation techniques and arts, but rather provided for disciples to cultivate and absorb.
Hidden Spirit Pellets were much better for absorption compared to spirit stones.
And the Hidden Spirit Pellets Su Tong had were all collected from the Hidden Spirit Sect, so they were surely condensed using the latter method.
After all, a wealthy sect like the Hidden Spirit Sect could afford enough spirit stones to condense Hidden Spirit Pellets to provide for disciples to cultivate.
Su Tong placed a Hidden Spirit Pellet in his mouth.
Closing his eyes, he could feel the Hidden Spirit Pellet dissolving, strands of spiritual energy rippling out.
"As expected of pellets made for disciples to cultivate, the spiritual energy contained in these Hidden Spirit Pellets doesn't even need refinement, it's already extremely pure!"
After sensing how pure the spiritual energy contained within the Hidden Spirit Pellet was, Su Tong relaxed and started cultivating.
"Refine!"
But Su Tong didn't get careless just because the spiritual energy in the Hidden Spirit Pellet was refined.
He still used the ancient god language to refine it.
And this refinement lasted half a month.
Fortunately, Su Tong had quite a lot of Hidden Spirit Pellets, and the spiritual energy contained in one pellet was sufficiently enormous.
So the spiritual energy contained was enough to squander for half a month.
"Hm? Seems I'm about to break through!"
Su Tong had originally just been refining the Hidden Spirit Pellets to pass time.
He didn't expect that as he cultivated, he was actually on the verge of breaking through.
Su Tong was already at the peak of the Returning Void Realm.
He felt that he only needed seven days absorbing spiritual energy using the ancient god language to break through to the Spiritual Void Realm.
He didn't expect that just slowly using the Hidden Spirit Pellets, he would now reach a breakthrough.
At this moment, the spiritual energy in Su Tong's body began to surge violently. This was the sign of breaking from the peak of the Returning Void Realm into the Spiritual Void Realm.
And there was a bottleneck within, requiring massive spiritual power to impact through.
Normally, cultivators at this point would use Hidden Spirit Pellets to make the breakthrough attempt.
But Su Tong didn't need to.
Because his own spiritual power was already strong enough.
"Breakthrough!"
With a low roar, a profound power formed within Su Tong's body!
