347: Chapter 343 This is a Cultivation (Third Update) 347: Chapter 343 This is a Cultivation (Third Update) “Is there really soone here before ?”
This was the first sentence Huaa Wushuang uttered on the edge of the Mist Sea after seeing Caiyi and Bai Xin, full of surprise in her voice.
Bai Xin was alright; she glanced back at Huaa Wushuang briefly, nodded slightly as a greeting, then turned her head away as a response.
But Caiyi did not react at all.
She focused on a wildflower on the grass, occasionally playing with the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.
“You two, who ca out first?” Huaa Wushuang’s question was direct, informal, though she didn’t realize it was her custom.
Since her birth, others had only ever shown her respect; there was never a need for her to accommodate anyone else, not even those from the Soul Sea Realm, who would treat her with the utmost reverence.
Caiyi and Bai Xin remained silent, Huaa Wushuang’s gaze sharpened as she stared at Bai Xin.
Under Huaa Wushuang’s intense gaze, Bai Xin spoke sowhat reluctantly, having heard of Huaa Wushuang’s reputation.
“When I ca out, this sister was already here.”
“Hmm, she was the first?”
“Miss, how should I address you?” Huaa Wushuang bowed slightly, which, in his view, was an unprecedented act.
But, he was proud, and Caiyi was even more so.
Or perhaps, Caiyi’s deanor wasn’t pride but a form of straightforwardness.
She could like or not mind soone easily, but once she started to dislike soone, nothing could change her mind.
Clearly, Huaa Wushuang had already beca disliked by Caiyi.
Simply put, instinctively, Caiyi found Huaa Wushuang’s aura very uncomfortable.
“Hmm?”
Caiyi’s lack of response made Huaa Wushuang’s expression turn sowhat awkward as he moved next to Caiyi.
In an instant, he saw Caiyi’s pure face that brought tranquility to those who regarded it.
Huaa Wushuang had seen many beautiful won, and having selected a hundred for his Hundred Flowers Consort, he had encountered no less than a thousand beauties, so even more physically attractive than Caiyi, but none had a face that embodied tranquility like hers.
It was true grace!
It was a distinct aura!
“This Housekeeper Huaa is becoming less competent!
Claiming to be selecting consorts across the Black Dragon Domain for , how co neither of these two was chosen?
Hmm, I’ll need to admonish him later.
But, after the Black Dragon Ranking is over, it’s still Housekeeper Huaa’s job to deal with.
As for the deadline for the selection, it’s still up to the Tiannan Huaa Family to decide.”
As Huaa Wushuang was mulling over these thoughts, he once again bowed to Caiyi and asked, “May I inquire, Miss…”
This ti, Caiyi turned even more directly, walking away toward the distance to avoid Huaa Wushuang, leaving him feeling exceedingly vexed.
Huaa Wushuang, prideful as he was, couldn’t lower his face to ask again after being snubbed twice.
He flicked his folding fan and found a spot to stand, appearing almost as if he belonged to another world.
Within the Mist Sea Heart Confusion, Ye Zhen was experiencing an extraordinary trial.
Ye Zhen had intended to center his mind to dispel distracting thoughts before exiting the Mist Sea Heart Confusion.
But just as he sat down cross-legged, various stray thoughts erged in his mind uncontrollably.
It seed that the Mist Sea Heart Confusion could infinitely magnify any miscellaneous thoughts.
In his Divine Soul, the fears, sorrows, and joys Ye Zhen had experienced appeared like scenes from a movie.
“Ye Zhen, die for , I must have my revenge!” the Thousand Illusion Eagle King chased after Ye Zhen, seemingly about to slay him.
Hand Extre Bu Changtian, his face splattered with blood, his left hand holding the head of his brother Bu Changxuan, and his right holding the head of the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, relentlessly advanced toward Ye Zhen, “Ye Zhen, return my brother’s life, return my Thunder Hawk’s life!”
Luluo nestled in Ye Zhen’s arms, her slender arms embracing him, a look of grievance on her face, “Ye Zhen, why haven’t you co to see ?
I think about you every day…”
“Why?
Why do you do this, Zheng Fuyun, I like you so much…” beside them, Yu Jing cried tearfully.
…
All sorts of mories of Ye Zhen’s past interactions surged, pushing him toward the brink of madness.
Just as Ye Zhen could no longer bear the annoyance and was about to erupt in fury, a phrase from Liao Feibai flashed through his mind, “The Divine Soul is indeed one’s true heart!”
“True heart?”
“You are my true heart!
Both the reflections and results I’ve created, what right do they have to bother ?
Those I wish to keep will live forever, and those I do not will be destroyed!”
Pop pop pop!
Several beams of Soul Light exploded, and the various figures surrounding Ye Zhen shattered into oblivion, including the illusion of Luluo, albeit with slight hesitation.
With the distractions gone, Ye Zhen felt incredibly clear-headed and relieved, as if he had laid down all his burdens.
Boom!
Before Ye Zhen could rejoice, a terrifying Divine Soul Mountain slamd toward him.
“Is this the extent of your Divine Soul Power?”
With a thought, Ye Zhen’s overwhelming Divine Soul Power imdiately t and shattered the Divine Soul Mountain.
Imdiately afterward, boundless Divine Soul Power enveloped Ye Zhen like an ocean.
Steadfast in his core, controlling the Divine Soul Power, he floated and drifted in the vast Soul Sea, following the currents and undisturbed by the towering soul waves, standing firm amidst the tumultuous Soul Sea.
It was unclear how much ti had passed, when Ye Zhen suddenly realized, he had drifted to the edge of the Soul Sea.
Delighted, Ye Zhen imdiately took a step forward.
In an instant, the scenery before his eyes changed dramatically, the Spirit Mist vanished, and a lush green adow appeared before Ye Zhen.
On the adow, a woman in white was nearby while Huaa Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back in the distance, and Caiyi was still intently observing the flowers and plants.
“So this is what it ans to pass the challenge…”
His expression relaxed, Ye Zhen reigned in his tense Divine Sense, and at that mont, Ye Zhen was greatly alard.
His Divine Soul…had changed.
Previously, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul had experienced a surge in power due to the refining of the Phantom Soul Beast King’s Demon Core and consuming the Soul Saliva Fruit, leaping directly from the first stage of Divine Soul Power to the third stage.
Although the Divine Soul Power had skyrocketed, since it wasn’t obtained through his own cultivation, it felt very loose compared to the Divine Soul Power of most martial artists at the third stage in the Soul Sea Realm, sowhat like a soft layer of soil.
But now, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power had beco incredibly dense.
It was like a solid foundation that had been tamped down, dense and exceedingly sharp.
Ye Zhen focused his thoughts, carefully recalling the process of passing through the Mist Sea Heart Confusion, and then he sowhat understood.
It turns out that the Mist Sea Illusion Heart, like the first test of the Void Iron Chain, wasn’t just a trial but also an achievent, an achievent for martial artists.
As long as you passed the test of the Mist Sea Illusion Heart, the Divine Soul could receive a certain degree of tempering, also seen as a form of fulfillnt, fulfilling the martial artist.
At this mont, Ye Zhen suddenly understood why almost every eligible martial artist in the Spirit Transformation Realm across the entire Black Dragon Domain had co to compete in the Black Dragon Ranking.
Because the Black Dragon Ranking was not just about rankings, not just about passing challenges, but also a rare and valuable opportunity for cultivation.
For Ye Zhen personally, if he were to cultivate on his own and refine the surged Divine Soul Power to its current level, it would probably take a year or two of hard work.
But in this Mist Sea Illusion Heart, half an hour was enough.
Was there any better place for cultivation than here?
“Brother Ye Zhen, you’re faster than I expected,” said Caiyi, her voice calm, awakening Ye Zhen from his contemplation and also bringing Huaa Wushuang, who seed to be in another world, back to reality.
Huaa Wushuang grew curious, wondering whose charm could surpass his own?
His gaze sharp as a blade, he stared at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow, and his gaze, solid as substance, t head-on with the other’s in midair, sparking off each other.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s eyes filled with surging battle intent.
This ti, a battle with Huaa Wushuang was inevitable!
The humiliation and helplessness he had experienced at the Qingluo Sect, he must try to retrieve them.
Even if he couldn’t retrieve them, he had to regain his dignity.
A challenge of three moves, for Ye Zhen, a true martial artist, was a disgrace!
Huaa Wushuang was sowhat taken aback, as among the martial artists in the Spirit Transformation Realm, Ye Zhen was the first to dare to et his gaze and even had surging battle intent in his eyes.
Even Hand Extre Bu Changtian from the Phantom Divine Sect, when facing his gaze, would subconsciously avoid it, not daring to et his eyes.
More importantly, Huaa Wushuang felt this gaze seed familiar.
But he just couldn’t rember where he had seen Ye Zhen before!
In the sky, the temporary stewards of the Black Dragon Ancient Land were already sowhat stupefied.
Today’s shocks ca one after another.
First was Yem Yuan, who passed the Void Iron Chain only slightly slower than Huaa Wushuang, followed by the phenonal young girl Caiyi, then Bai Xin.
Now, they could never have imagined that the fourth person to cross the Mist Sea Illusion Heart would be the unknown Ye Zhen.
Of course, to Thousand Illusion Eagle King and Zhii Sheng, Ye Zhen’s na was renowned.
But even so, they still could not believe how Ye Zhen could have passed through the Mist Sea Illusion Heart so quickly!
Looking at Caiyi conversing with Ye Zhen, both Zhii Sheng and Thousand Illusion Eagle King’s expressions grew solemn.
Ye Zhen’s standing in their eyes had changed.
Of course, so were happy.
For example, Tower Master Hai Luoshuang.
Hai Luoshuang was amazed by Ye Zhen’s strength but was even more pleased with her own insightful judgnt.
Not only had she drawn in Ye Zhen, but Ye Zhen was also very familiar, extrely familiar, with that phenonal young girl!
Hai Luoshuang had already started to calculate how to pull this phenonal young girl into Stars Tower through Ye Zhen.
With both Ye Zhen and that phenonal young girl joining, her position as Tower Master would beco much more secure!
When Hand Extre Bu Changtian burst out from the Mist Sea Illusion Heart, and saw that among those who ca out before him was Ye Zhen, his expression suddenly turned extrely ugly.
“How is this possible?”
“How could he be faster than ?”
….
While Bu Changtian was utterly astonished, Ye Zhen was whispering softly with Caiyi.
“Caiyi, what exactly is this third challenge of the Heavenly Destiny Three Gates all about?
Why do even the elders say there’s no past experience to draw from for this challenge?” (To be continued.
