The cultivation technique was named Xiaoyao Bu, and it was divided into three layers.
The first layer was "One Step, Thousand Miles," the second was "One Step, Horizon," and the third was "One Step, Heaven and Earth."
At that time, Ye Feng had just obtained this technique and felt the content was too unrealistic, so he didn't cultivate it much.
He casually comprehended the first layer, understood the general idea, and then stopped researching it.
The first layer could only be cultivated upon reaching the Grandmaster realm. Once successfully cultivated, one step could cover a thousand miles.
This was purely a movement technique for evasion, so Ye Feng didn't pay much attention to it, tossing it into his spatial spiritual ring and forgetting about it.
He never expected it to be useful at this moment, and immediately activated it according to the description.
However, the instant he activated it, everything in front of Ye Feng sped up by hundreds of times.
The seawater beneath his feet, the air in front of him, everything around him flashed past him at high speed. He vanished from the sight of the Kunpeng clan powerhouse like a beam of light.
"What?"
The Kunpeng clan powerhouse was stunned by this sight.
He immediately accelerated, chasing with all his might, trying to catch Ye Feng.
But even when he pushed his speed to the absolute limit, he still couldn't catch up to Ye Feng.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up in the water, he immediately leaped out of the water, transforming into a roc with its wings spread wide, pursuing at extreme speed.
But to his despair, even after transforming into a roc and using his fastest speed, he still couldn't catch up to Ye Feng.
In the end, he could only watch Ye Feng disappear before his eyes, exclaiming in disbelief, "He actually escaped! How is this possible?"
He even doubted if he was hallucinating.
He could never have imagined that Ye Feng possessed such a means to escape from his grasp.
On the other side, when Ye Feng stopped, he was already a hundred kilometers away.
"Damn, one step covered this far! Although it's not as exaggerated as a thousand miles, it's still terrifying!" Ye Feng exclaimed in shock.
However, in the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his dantian. The Sea God power within had been completely depleted, leaving not a trace, as if the seawater had evaporated, leaving him suddenly empty.
Immediately after, he felt his entire body paralyzed, weak and powerless, as if it were no longer his own body.
"What a terrifying technique! It consumed all my Sea God power in an instant, and even overdrawn a lot!" Ye Feng said with a pained expression.
At this moment, he understood. It wasn't that Xiaoyao Bu couldn't cover a thousand miles in one step, but rather his cultivation was insufficient.
Otherwise, covering a thousand miles in one step would have been very possible.
After regaining his senses, Ye Feng immediately released Xiao Heilong and had it carry him to change direction from the seabed and swim towards the Huaxia Continent.
The Kunpeng clan powerhouse chased for a long time but still couldn't find any trace of Ye Feng, and could only give up in frustration.
Meanwhile, Meng Tianyun, who was fending off three Sea Emperor clan powerhouses alone, also managed to break free and escape after seeing Ye Feng flee, much to the anger of the sea creatures.
Several days later, Ye Feng finally appeared within Huaxia.
Upon his return, he headed straight for Rocky Island.
He first used his connections to process the information regarding the Merman clan and the Mermaid clan, and then settled them in the vicinity of Rocky Island.
With them guarding Rocky Island, Ye Feng was no longer afraid of the sea creatures causing trouble again.
After completing these tasks, Ye Feng then placed the Northern Sea Giant Kraken, Kraken, in the Sea God Hall to recuperate.
Since it had just awakened, its strength had not yet recovered, and it had also lost an arm to Ye Feng. Ye Feng wanted it to recover quickly, as its power would be greatly needed later.
However, just as Ye Feng released it, the entity within the giant underwater cave suddenly awakened. It opened a pair of purple eyes and began to roar within the cave.
Instantly, the entire sea area around Rocky Island was hit by a fierce gale, and towering waves surged.
The sealing runes on the giant underwater mountain also emitted dazzling light, as if they were about to lose their grip on the entity within the giant cave.
But at this moment, Kraken, having absorbed the golden object Ye Feng gave it, had fallen into a deep slumber. No matter how much it roared, it showed no reaction.
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately activated the Sea God Trident and forcefully suppressed the entity within the giant cave, finally bringing about quiet.
For the next few days, Ye Feng finally had a chance to rest properly.
"It's so much more comfortable back in Huaxia. I don't have to live in fear all the time like I did outside!" Ye Feng lay in the Sea God Hall, absorbing Sea God power and sighing.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth had not yet fully recovered, so the sea creatures dared not enter Huaxia to cause trouble.
At most, they would only harass the uninhabited seas and the borders of Huaxia.
After bringing back the Mermaid clan and the Merman clan, Ye Feng had resolved the safety issues of the Rocky Island sea area, and he could now focus on other matters.
The first thing he wanted to do was to enter seclusion for cultivation.
Having seen the powerful figures of the sea tribes during his recent excursion, he finally understood his own insignificance.
In the near future, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recovered, there would be more and more powerful individuals, and the opponents he would face would only become stronger and more terrifying.
Therefore, he had to rapidly increase his strength. Moreover, his current Sea God cultivation technique had reached the peak of the fifth layer, standing on the verge of a breakthrough at any moment.
He decided to go into seclusion for a period of time and would only emerge after his Sea God cultivation technique broke through to the sixth layer.
Additionally, before entering seclusion, he handed over all external affairs to Xiao Feifei.
As for the safety of Rocky Island, he entrusted it to Senior Canglong. With a Grandmaster like him present, the sea creatures would not dare to act presumptuously.
However, while Ye Feng was in seclusion, Meng Tianyun also returned.
By the observation deck of Rocky Island, Old Master Qin and the butler pushed Qin Mingyuan, who was in a wheelchair, to Meng Tianyun.
Old Master Qin spoke, "Why didn't you return with Ye Feng this time? You've come back so late."
"Master, the situation is like this..." Meng Tianyun recounted everything that had happened in the Misty Sea Region.
The old man and the others were even more shocked after listening.
"The four Sea Emperor clans all made a move? It seems the sea tribes' breakthrough of the seal is faster than we imagined!" Old Master Qin frowned and muttered to himself.
At this moment, Qin Mingyuan, in his wheelchair, also spoke, "It's good that Feng'er is alright! Also, since he has a Grandmaster protecting him, we don't need to worry about his safety anymore!"
Meng Tianyun nodded upon hearing this, "Yes! Also, the family has been urging us for a long time, and it's time for us to go back! By the way, how is your condition, Patriarch?"
Qin Mingyuan smiled and stood up from his wheelchair.
"What? You, you can stand up?"
Seeing this, Meng Tianyun was utterly stunned. Even he, who was usually steady, became agitated.
Qin Mingyuan smiled, "Yes! Thanks to that young lady treating me every day, coupled with the magical energy here, my condition has recovered very quickly, and there are basically no problems!"
"That's truly wonderful..." Meng Tianyun was overjoyed.
Old Master Qin then asked, "When shall we leave then?"
"There's no better day than today, let's leave now!" Qin Mingyuan said, looking towards where Ye Feng lived.
Old Master Qin frowned, "Aren't we going to say goodbye to him?"
Qin Mingyuan shook his head, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear to leave then..."
