Unrivaled Medicine God, page 76
Each realm breakthrough in the Spirit Condensation Realm, due to limitations of the dantian, could only once again condense the same amount formed at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
That was to say, when Long Tang was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he already had 15 spirit liquid drops, while other Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm students merely possessed 16 spirit liquid drops.
To perception geniuses such as Long Tang, such a minute difference was simply unworthy of being mentioned. Hence, he could firmly occupy the place of number one on the Martial Roll!
In other words, the number of spirit liquid drops condensed when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm represented the kind of heights a martial artist could reach in the future!
Just think about it. When a nine spirit liquid drops martial artist is at the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, it would be nine by nine, 81 spirit liquid drops! While a one spirit liquid drop martial artist would only have nine spirit liquid drops.
It was simply impossible to compensate for this sort of difference with other aspects!
Of course, the vast majority of martial artists were at three drops and below. Hence, the difference between them would not be overly distinct.
It was just that if three drops and below martial artists did not have any heaven-defying lucky chances, they would stop at the Spirit Condensation Realm in this lifetime. Desiring to breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm would be impossibly difficult.
To want to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm, one must possess at least four spirit liquid drops and above. Even so, not everybody could break through to the Crystal Formation Realm.
The more spirit liquid, the greater the chances of advancing to the Crystal Formation Realm.
However, there were merely a meager two martial artists who condensed six spirit liquid drops when they were at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect domain!
One of them was the current Tranquil Cloud Sect's Sect Leader, Yan Traceless!
The difficulty of condensing six spirit liquid drops was evident from this.
As for seven drops and above, those were all myths . . .
At least within the Tranquil Cloud Sect's domain, condensing seven spirit liquid drops was completely unheard of!
This was also the reason why Su Yishan was so astonished.
Even if he did not believe Ye Yuan could condense eight spirit liquid drops, he could not refute the fact that Ye Yuan condensed seven spirit liquid drops! That was because the quantity of essence energy which Ye Yuan absorbed just now exceeded the amount he absorbed back then by quite too much!
It far surpassed the volume of essence energy required for six spirit liquid drops.
Which was to say, Ye Yuan had already surpassed everyone in the Tranquil Cloud Sect domain!
This fact made Su Yishan infinitely depressed, endlessly jealous, and also utterly terrified.
Sure enough, the degree of Ye Yuan's monstrousness already far exceeded his understanding.
Seven spirit liquid drops! That meant that no matter how casually Ye Yuan cultivated in the future, he could cultivate to the Crystal Formation Realm!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan was already so terrifying while at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Now that he condensed seven spirit liquid drops in one go, what extent would his strength soar to?
If he knew that Ye Yuan did not condense seven spirit liquid drops, but instead, the nine drops which he dared not even think about, who knew what he would think.
In reality, not only Su Yishan dare not imagine it, but even Nanfeng Zhirou also did not dare to imagine that.
She said eight spirit liquid drops just to ridicule Su Yishan. Honestly speaking, even she did not really believe that Ye Yuan could condense eight spirit liquid drops.
Because . . . that would be too inhuman!
"Nine drops of spirit liquid huh? Didn't expect that the breakthrough this time would actually be so perfect, way stronger compared to my previous life!" Ye Yuan also felt rather emotional.
In his previous life, Ye Yuan only condensed seven spirit liquid drops. Among the pinnacle powers in the Divine Realm, seven spirit liquid drops were not considered very impressive.
The true-blue geniuses all condensed nine spirit liquid drops!
In the Lower Realms, nine spirit liquid drops were something which only existed in the legends. But in the Divine Realm, there were a few people who could achieve it.
Of course, that was also because Ye Yuan did not hold any interest in the Martial Path. Otherwise, with his degree of monstrousness, nine spirit liquid drops was not at all that amazing.
But this time around, under the double effects of the Spirit Surge Pill and the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, he finally achieved the perfect nine spirit liquid drops.
Right then, Ye Yuan suddenly felt his divine soul quiver and a head-splitting pain transmitted over.
"Siiii . . . So painful! Is it starting?"
Condensing spirit liquid was only fulfilling half of the breakthrough to Spirit Condensation Realm. There was still another half, which was the baptism of the divine soul!
This was the true sense of the first qualitative change of the martial artist's divine soul. It was of vital importance!
Chapter 150. Sudden Change in Situation! |
Crack . . . Crack . . .
The initially vast clear skies of the Endless Forest had an abrupt change and was covered up by layer upon layers of dark clouds.
Countless streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, while the sound of rolling thunder came from the far away to near.
"What happened? What's going on?"
Su Yishan's complexion turned ashen. He had never seen such abnormal weather and could instinctively sense that things were not quite right.
The feeling that this sudden change in the situation did not seem to have formed naturally. Rather, it seemed like a phenomenon brought about when some powerhouse broke through cultivation realms.
Yuan Fei's eyes shone like he seemed to know what was happening. Hence, he lightly patted Nanfeng Zhirou's shoulder, and his other hand picking up Su Yishan like a baby chick as he shot away even further in the distance.
This time around, Yuan Fei moved away even further away from Ye Yuan. A distance of several miles!
Smack!
Yuan Fei casually threw Su Yishan down, but his gaze was fixed firmly at the place Ye Yuan was breaking through.
Nanfeng Zhirou also caught up right then as she stared at Yuan Fei in total bewilderment. She really wanted to ask Yuan Fei just what in the world happened, but they were unable to communicate so Yuan Fei would not understand even if she asked.
But looking at Yuan Fei's actions, could it be that the source of this phenomenon was actually Ye Yuan?
How was this possible?
Such a phenomenon was impossible to have even if one broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, let alone breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!
Just what on earth happened on Ye Yuan's body?
Su Yishan picked himself up rather miserably and just happened to meet Nanfeng Zhirou's baffled gaze. He involuntarily became pissed. "Don't look at me; how would I know what happened? This Ye Yuan is a natural-born freak! Freak! Freak!"
Su Yishan did not dare to get mad at Yuan Fei, so he could only say 'freak' three times consecutively to express his displeasure, and at the same time, conceal the deep shock within his heart.
Through Yuan Fei's reaction, Su Yishan clearly also realized that the source of this phenomenon was Ye Yuan.
However, he just could not figure out how Ye Yuan could invoke such a horrifying phenomenon when he was merely breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Nanfeng Zhirou was speechless for some time before she said, "Ye Yuan's gathering qi and then liquefying it is already completed. Now, it should be the divine soul transformation. But would the divine soul transformation invoke such a phenomenon? Could it be due to him condensing seven spirit liquid drops?"
"I already said that I don't know! Divine soul transformation is just symbolical. How can it possibly trigger such a phenomenon?" Su Yishan said crossly.
Nanfeng Zhirou thought about it for a long time and also could not come up with an explanation. She could only observe Ye Yuan's movements closely.
. . . . . .
Meanwhile, over ten thousand miles away, at the Tranquil Cloud Sect, an old man filled with a sage-like bearing broke out of his seclusion and looked at the phenomenon in the distance with a grave expression.
"It's over at the Endless Forest. What happened? Could another Tier 4 demonic beast be born? But it's also not possible for Tier 4 demonic beasts to trigger such a phenomenon!"
. . . . . .
Somewhere deep in the Endless Forest, an elderly man who was only skin and bones looked at the phenomenon towering the skies with a similarly solemn expression!
"Which old demon broke through? Such a level of phenomenon is simply inconceivable! I'd better stay further away from him! Breaking through in the Endless Forest, doesn't this fellow scared of provoking that old demon in there?"
Although the elderly man was very curious about what happened, he still turned around and left without looking back.
. . . . . .
Over at the other side of the Endless Forest, this place was hailed as a land forbidden to humans, the Ten Thousand Demons Valley. There were countless powerful demonic beasts within!
In the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, inside a cave, a youth actually sat there cross-legged.
The youth was presently training in meditation when he suddenly opened his eyes. He murmured to himself, "It's the aura of a human! To think that such a heaven-defying existence appeared once again among the humans! What a pity! I'm also at the most critical juncture right now. Otherwise, I would go and meet him."
Finishing, the youth shut his eyes again, cutting off all of his senses.
. . . . . .
This instant, countless masters in the Endless World was startled by the phenomenon caused by Ye Yuan.
It was just that no matter how they thought, they did not imagine that such a level of phenomenon was caused by a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm.
However, Ye Yuan's current body condition was not great.
"Siii . . . Why is the divine soul transformation in the Spirit Condensation Realm so painful?!"
Ye Yuan was currently experiencing a head-splitting pain, his divine soul feeling like it was being shredded, making him wish that he was dead.
Ye Yuan had the past experience of breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, so of course he knew what the Spirit Condensation Realm's divine soul transformation was all about.
But now, this sort of agony had greatly surpassed his experience.
"Argh!!!"
Ye Yuan finally could not take it anymore. He clutched his own head and started rolling around on the ground in anguish.
In the distance, Nanfeng Zhirou who saw the situation was greatly alarmed. She was about to launch herself over when she was stopped by Yuan Fei.
"Ape King, can't you see how much pain Ye Yuan is in? Quickly go and save him!" Nanfeng Zhirou was almost in tears.
Yuan Fei just shook his head and did not have any intention of heading over.
"Yuan Fei! Ye Yuan is your master! If something happens to him, you'll also suffer retribution!" Nanfeng Zhirou threatened when she saw that she could not persuade Yuan Fei.
Yuan Fei waved his hands again and continued to be unmoved.
Nanfeng Zhirou saw Ye Yuan rolling around non-stop on the ground appearing like he was in increasingly tormenting pain and could no longer endure it. She raised a palm to attack Yuan Fei.
However, Yuan Fei's speed was even greater than her's. He directly gave a hand-chop to the back of Nanfeng Zhirou's neck, and Nanfeng Zhirou promptly fainted.
Su Yishan who was watching at the sides was unclear what was going on. Did this Yuan Fei really want to see Ye Yuan die?
However, Yuan Fei did not give him much time to ponder. With the same hand-chop down, Su Yishan also fainted.
Finishing these, Yuan Fei seated on the ground and quietly watched Ye Yuan who was struggling on the ground.
The current Ye Yuan felt that his entire body was about to be ripped apart. Even as somebody who had been through two lives, he had never tasted this sort of feeling.
Ji Qingyun was an expert in terms of souls. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to become the youngest Alchemy Emperor.
However, he had never experienced this sort of torment even during his previous life where he broke through so many cultivation realms.
This was only breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!
Ye Yuan's mind was on the verge of being extinguished. During this time, it was the desire towards life which sustained him, making his soul preserve that last trace of clarity and eternity!
He, Ji Qingyun, wanted to take revenge!
He, Ji Qingyun, wanted to charge back to the Divine Realm and kill that traitor with his own hands!
Ji Canglan was still living well in the Divine Realm. How could he, Ji Qingyun, die just like this?
Ye Yuan was unresigned!
Using his last trace of clarity, Ye Yuan revolved the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation!
This was his first time revolving the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation in this lifetime. Because cultivating soul strength below the Spirit Condensation Realm did not hold any meaning whatsoever.
Even so, Ye Yuan's familiarity towards the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation originated from the deepest parts of the soul!
In his previous life, he cultivated this technique countless times. This skill was akin to a part of his body!
In his previous life, Ji Qingyun did not hold much interest towards cultivation methods and was also uninterested in martial techniques. He was only infatuated with soul manuals!
As an alchemist, Ji Qingyun could not do without soul manuals!
However, the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation which had proved effective every time actually failed this time!
How was this possible?!
Chapter 151. Divine Text |
Arghhh! What's going on?! Ye Yuan howled agonizingly in his mind.
The Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation was an absolutely powerful soul cultivation method in the Divine Realm. Ji Qingyun and his father only became renown throughout the Divine Realm because of cultivating this technique.
But now, even the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation could not resolve the issue of the divine soul tearing?
It was but a one-time simple breakthrough. How could something like this happen?
Just as Ye Yuan was completely helpless and hovering on the edge of absolute despair, his divine soul once again underwent an abnormal change!
Numerous golden-colored unknown texts slowly drifted into Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, akin to the trickling of a stream, immediately nourishing Ye Yuan's divine soul!
These golden texts were incomparably profound and mysterious. Each word vanished after entering Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, and Ye Yuan's divine soul was also being repaired.
Gradually, the pain of the divine soul being torn apart lessened, all the way until it disappeared entirely.
However, the inflow of these gold texts did not end. They continued to enter Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness. Not only did it fully mend Ye Yuan's divine soul, it even nourished Ye Yuan's divine soul, strengthening it slowly!
"Wh-what are these texts? To actually have such a miraculous effect?"
Even being an illustrious Alchemy Emperor in his previous life, Ye Yuan had never seen such an abstruse and abnormal thing before. Merely the texts itself could strengthen the divine soul. Just what kind of heaven-defying means was this?!
Could these texts be a soul cultivation method? Then if one grasped these texts, wouldn't they become a heaven-defying existence?
Could it be that these texts had already transcended this world and were the legendary Divine Script?
For the sake of researching the Alchemy Path, Ye Yuan had read extensively on all books in his past life and learned countless languages.
But he actually could not recognize any of these golden words!
Where did these words come from? Why did they enter my sea of consciousness?
Ye Yuan was currently full of doubts and questions.
The breakthrough in cultivation realm this time was way too abnormal. It had already surpassed Ye Yuan's understanding!
Ye Yuan's divine soul no longer hurt anymore, but to his dismay, he discovered that he could not do anything. He could only let those texts enter his sea of consciousness freely.
Since he could not do anything, then Ye Yuan might as well just lay there and started to savor these golden texts.
With this bout of savoring, Ye Yuan immediately felt that these golden texts were out of the ordinary.
Between each brush and stroke, it divulged the allure of Dao. This was an indescribable sort of boundless feeling as if what these texts were currently describing was this stretch of Heaven and Earth!
This feeling even gave Ye Yuan an illusion of tearing through the firmament.
Ji Qingyun was formally a Divine King powerhouse, but his cultivation realm was completely piled up using medicinal pills. He did not necessarily have a very deep understanding of Heavenly Dao.
Even so, he was a genuine Divine King. His comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was extremely deep.
But when he looked at these texts, Ye Yuan felt that his understanding was worse than dog shit!
In front of these characters, Ye Yuan felt that his understanding of Heavenly Dao was just like a toddler learning how to walk.
Even if Ye Yuan could not understand them, the impact of the deep, resonant feeling of the boundless Great Dao contained within these words pierced deep into the soul!
"Could these words really be the Divine Script? An existence lording above Divine King? But . . . where did they come from? Could it be that these texts automatically entered my sea of consciousness with my one-time breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm? But I didn't step on sh*t today!"
