Actually, no matter how cautious everyone was, they knew they would definitely encounter those powerful wall creatures.
Unless their luck was heaven-defying, otherwise, they would not avoid encountering those wall creatures.
Moreover, not all wall creatures are extremely powerful; some are simply more energetic but lack other techniques, making these wall creatures easier to deal with.
However, some wall creatures, although their strength is not too strong, possess extraordinary techniques, making them considered relatively strong.
And then there are wall creatures that are not only strong in raw power but also have very bizarre techniques. In such cases, encountering them means the only option is to flee; there is no other way. After all, mysterious techniques can be dealt with, but solving them still requires time.
Since only heaven-defying people exist, not heaven-defying techniques, any technique might be resolved and cracked, only strength is the hard standard. So when encountering wall creatures with strong power and bizarre techniques, the best move is to flee as quickly as possible. Even if you can deal with their weird techniques, it requires time. Without sufficient time, you won't even be able to conceive a way to crack their techniques.
Due to their high wall of strength, during that time, you won't have any opportunity to think about ways to break their techniques. So when encountering such level of wall creatures, first flee from there, then think about how to resolve the battle.
Of course, if you can continue forward once you've escaped, there is no need to concern yourself with them since what Ye Tianfan and his team needs to do at this time is to quickly leave here and return to the wall, even if it means escaping from all battles.
After all, Ye Tianfan's team is not there to fight; they are there to expand their territory. As long as they can expand their territory safely without sacrificing personnel, everyone will be happy and delighted.
This doesn't mean everyone is cowardly, but the reality is such that everyone's life is precious to them at this moment.
Why do the people highly value their lives? It all starts from the fact that they have already lost half of their disciples.
They have lost half, not just a few disciples. Half of an entire sect, which is a loss significant enough to make everyone highly value their lives.
At this time, everyone is extremely cautious and careful, fearing they might encounter wall creatures they can't handle. Despite each having refined and pure Spiritual Power of very high concentration in their hands, they still can't cause direct harm to the enemy with the Xiao Yao Sword like Taichu Zhenren could.
After all, the Xiao Yao Sword contains Power of Laws while the pure Spiritual Power only represents highly refined Spiritual Power.
Thus, although refined Spiritual Power is effective against wall creatures, its level still can't compare to the Power of Laws imbued in the Xiao Yao Sword.
Because the energy peak in the mortal realm is the Power of Laws, no energy transcends it, even if pure Spiritual Power is refined several or tens of times over, it still falls short of the Power of Laws.
Perhaps sometimes it may be better to use Power of Laws, but it certainly lacks the fundamental damage potency inherent in Power of Laws.
Though pure Spiritual Power can damage those wall creatures through energy suppression, Power of Laws can destroy wall creatures fundamentally, signifying that pure Spiritual Power will inevitably encounter energies it can't suppress, but Power of Laws won't.
Unless your understanding of Power of Laws is lower than the opponent's, then your Power of Laws will fail to harm them; however, if your Power of Laws surpasses their level, then no matter how strong their pure Spiritual Power is, it can be harmed by you.
This is the difference between pure Spiritual Power and Power of Laws: one has an ultimate limit, while the other has no limit as long as your strength is adequate and your understanding is profound, you will never have a limit unless you surpass heaven.
If there's any limit, it would be the upper limit the entire world can bear. It means that as long as your strength is overwhelming enough that even heaven and earth can't accommodate you, then your Power of Laws has reached the pinnacle in this realm, and you will enter the next realm, a realm higher in dimension than your current one, to continue your journey.
As long as your ability to comprehend is strong, even if heaven and earth can't contain you, there will be another realm that can accommodate you.
But pure Spiritual Power, even if you elevate its purity to the extreme, it still exists within this realm, and you won't enter a next, more powerful world.
Because pure Spiritual Power essentially remains pure Spiritual Power, it does not touch the roots of the realm, and so no matter how advanced your cultivation is, even if you conquer opponents universally, it still won't bring you anything ultimately.
In simple terms, entering the simpler path requires complex initiation, but once you're in, you'll gain endless benefits.
The other path requires difficult initiation too, but it's relatively simpler compared to the Power of Laws, and its ultimate limit isn't that high. Furthermore, Power of Laws is something everyone must comprehend, because if you don't, your strength will be permanently limited below the Primordial realm.
As for pure Spiritual Power, it doesn't matter whether you comprehend it or not, and it truly only restrains certain energy types with no other significant use. Plus, pure Spiritual Power is only somewhat powerful early on, and once others grasp the Power of Laws, pure Spiritual Power loses its efficacy completely.
This is why, although Ye Tianfan knows refined Spiritual Power is powerful and better than ordinary Spiritual Power, he didn't refine his own Spiritual Power to the level of pure Spiritual Power.
Simply because it is unnecessary, since pure Spiritual Power only has some effect outside the wall and inside the wall it's confined to bullying those with inferior strength.
Another reason is that during the refining process to concentrate pure Spiritual Power, a significant amount of Spiritual Power is consumed, thus reducing the Spiritual Power within Ye Tianfan. Though its quality improves, its quantity decreases, causing Ye Tianfan's explosive capability to be strong but with limited endurance.
