Above the shattered city, cosmic energy was influenced by an immense force, surging wildly.
Three masters who had once reached the Tri-Floral Realm inhaled and exhaled deeply, using Earth's abundant cosmic energy to restore their cultivation. Not only did they require spiritual energy, but numerous Dao Artifacts also demanded nourishment from spiritual energy. The amount of cosmic energy consumed by these artifacts was immense, rivaling the breathing techniques of a Tri-Floral Realm master.
In addition to this, Li Yi took out a large cache of Magic Artifacts, which also needed to be nurtured.
Under these circumstances, the nearby cosmic energy was being depleted to the point where it could hardly keep up with the demand. Fortunately, as the strength of Cang Erzi, Xuan Yuezi, and Wu the Taoist gradually recovered, the range of their absorption of Heaven and Earth Qi expanded—from 100 miles at first to nearly 300 miles now.
