496: Chapter 490: Will Tempering 496: Chapter 490: Will Tempering The azure sky, the pristine clouds, and the verdant grass below teeming with life—it looked no different from the Black Dragon Domain.
Yet strangely, as Ye Zhen stood beneath this sky that closely resembled that of the Black Dragon Domain, breathing deeply, he felt an inexplicable exhilaration and relaxation spread throughout his body, as if even his bones had lightened a few notches, delightfully unusual and making him long to stretch his arms wide and store all the air around him into his lungs.
One thing was for certain, Ye Zhen’s senses had never failed him.
“I had read in ancient texts that when warriors from other domains enter, it is as if they’ve stepped into an immortal realm!
I never believed it, as I stay here every day, and how could I not notice this place being like an immortal realm?
But seeing you today, I believe it.
What is written in the ancient books is indeed true!” Luo Yingzi chuckled lightly, her laughter as clear as a bell and naturally charming, a sight that delighted Ye Zhen.
After spending two days together, Ye Zhen had also uncovered a small secret about Luo Yingzi, a secret related to her bewitching technique.
When she speaks, if Luo Yingzi refers to herself as ‘I,’ then her terrifying charming skill is already operating silently, ensnaring one invisibly.
If she uses ‘I’ to refer to herself, that’s when she is at her most innocent and naturally charming.
Ye Zhen’s ability to discover this small secret about Luo Yingzi ca thanks to Sword Heart Enlightennt, which could detect even the most subtle changes.
“An immortal realm?
Hardly!” Ye Zhen shook his head.
“However, this air I’m breathing into my lungs…
it’s really not quite the sa as what’s in my hotown…..” Suddenly, Ye Zhen took a deep breath and closed his eyes in thought.
This feeling, he had experienced it before—after the Eastern Expedition, the Qiyun Sect had built a new Dao Field in Yiping Mountain, which used to be part of the Sword Origin Empire.
On Yiping Mountain, there was a High Grade Spirit Vein, and Qiyun Sect drew from this High Grade Spirit Vein to build several Cultivation Quiet Rooms and planted two Spirit Gardens crafted for growing Spiritual dicines and Plants.
During the inauguration of the Dao Field on Yiping Mountain, Ye Zhen, the War God of the Eastern Expedition, personally attended to prevent any disruptions.
Afterwards, Ye Zhen inspected the Spirit Garden and Quiet Chamber that were established using the High Grade Spirit Vein, and experienced it himself.
The mont he entered the Spirit Garden, he had felt this extrely refreshing sensation.
Rembering this scene, Ye Zhen imdiately understood the reason behind it.
“Is the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth here so dense?”
Ye Zhen glanced around, then his gaze turned to Luo Yingzi, “Yingzi, is the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth near this Gu Hun Mountain different from elsewhere?”
As he spoke, Ye Zhen’s voice paused for a mont, “Or is the density of Primordial Energy this rich in other places of the True Spirit Domain as well?”
Deep down, Ye Zhen didn’t want to believe the latter half of his question, because if that were the case, the disparity between the True Spirit Domain and the Black Dragon Domain would be too vast.
“It’s not that I want to dishearten you, but compared to other places, Gu Hun Mountain, because of the presence of the Secret Realm of Demon Souls, has Primordial Energy that is one or two percent weaker than elsewhere.
In the True Spirit Domain, even in its harshest areas, the density of Primordial Energy is about the sa as here….”
Ye Zhen was instantly stunned—the difference was indeed….imnse….
In the Black Dragon Domain, there is said to be only one Supre Spirit Vein, held by the Phantom Divine Sect, and rely about a dozen High Grade Spirit Veins.
Sadly, the density of Primordial Energy in the High Grade Spirit Veins of the Black Dragon Domain is about the sa as the most common places in the True Spirit Domain, and is even sowhat inferior.
Compared to the True Spirit Domain, the Black Dragon Domain really is….a backwater!
“How rich are the Spirit Veins in the True Spirit Domain, how much denser is the Primordial Energy in places with Spirit Veins compared to here?” This was now Ye Zhen’s most pressing concern.
“Spirit Veins!
In the True Spirit Domain, Low Grade Spirit Veins are as common as dogs, Mid-grade Spirit Veins are in every household, High Grade Spirit Veins are frequently seen, and Supre Spirit Veins are like an immortal realm.”
Luo Yingzi recited four lines of a poem and then started explaining to Ye Zhen.
Low Grade Spirit Veins are extrely nurous, so it goes without saying that their Primordial Energy density is approximately twice that of ordinary places.
For Mid-grade Spirit Veins, they are not saying that ordinary families have them, but nearly every Martial Arts Family or Sect has at least one or two Mid-grade Spirit Veins.
The density of Spiritual Power in Mid-grade Spirit Veins is three tis that of ordinary places; High Grade Spirit Veins are sowhat rare, but not uncommon, almost every Great Sect and power has them; Supre Spirit Veins are quite rare.
This answer left Ye Zhen almost speechless!
The classification of Spirit Veins within the True Spirit Domain is exactly the sa as within the Black Dragon Domain: Low Grade Spirit Veins have twice the density of external Primordial Energy, Mid-grade Spirit Veins have three tis, High Grade four tis, and Supre five tis the density.
The classifications are the sa, but the baselines are different, resulting in a world of difference.
If the density of Primordial Energy outside the Black Dragon Domain is one, then the density in ordinary regions of the True Spirit Domain is four.
Given the sa level of Mid-grade Spirit Vein, the density of Primordial Energy in a Mid-grade Spirit Vein in the Black Dragon Domain is only three, whereas in the True Spirit Domain, it reaches an impressive twelve!
It’s a fourfold difference, which is significant.
In other words, cultivating in the sa grade of Spirit Vein, a Martial Artist from the True Spirit Domain cultivates for one year would equate to four years of cultivation for a Martial Artist from the Black Dragon Domain.
If a Martial Artist from the Black Dragon Domain cultivates in a normal region, and a Martial Artist from the True Spirit Domain cultivates within a Mid-grade Spirit Vein, then the disparity becos twelvefold!
Although the actual effects of cultivation might not an that a Martial Artist from the True Spirit Domain cultivating for one year is equivalent to twelve years for a Martial Artist from the Black Dragon Domain, it wouldn’t be far off.
For Martial Artists, ti is life, ti is Martial Arts!
Suddenly, Ye Zhen sowhat understood why many top Martial Artists from the Black Dragon Domain were so eager to risk the perilous journey across the Endless Dead Sea to cultivate in the Outer Domain.
Even though you’re enjoying the most top-level cultivation environnt in the Black Dragon Domain, it barely compares to the treatnt of Independent Cultivators in the True Spirit Domain.
In the True Spirit Domain, it would be impossible for Martial Artists not to reach high Cultivation levels.
“How about that, were you shocked?
Actually, this is quite normal.
The innate resources of the True Spirit Domain are ranked among the top three, even possibly the top two in the True Profound Continent.
Since you’ve co, you’re in luck!” Luo Yingzi said.
“In luck, huh….”
Between bitter smiles, the phrase ‘the heavens are unjust’ suddenly appeared in Ye Zhen’s mind, but in an instant, he shattered it.
In this world, where does absolute fairness co from?
From the mont people are born, unfairness has already begun!
So are wealthy while others are hungry, so have Heavenly Veins while others are discarded!
However, although one can’t change their innate conditions, what cos after can be controlled by oneself, albeit with great difficulty!
“My fate is determined by myself…
not by the heavens, and the key to controlling my destiny is…
Martial Arts!”
With this thought, the tangled thoughts of Ye Zhen instantly beca profoundly insightful, and his entire deanour paused, an indescribable aura suddenly erging.
Beside him, the deviless Luo Yingzi’s eyes sparkled frequently with abnormal lights.
Just a mont ago, Ye Zhen seed ordinary, but in the blink of an eye, without seeing Ye Zhen employing any technique, he evoked in her a sensation akin to mountains, seas, and stars.
“What about you, where do you plan to go?” Luo Yingzi asked.
“Ah, if it weren’t for the Miaoxiang Sect not accepting male disciples, a genius with such monstrous strength as yours would definitely be pulled into our sect.”
Saying this, Luo Yingzi’s pretty face suddenly flushed red, perhaps recalling sothing, but she quickly returned to normal.
“Where to go?”
Ye Zhen’s gaze turned towards the distance, suddenly becoming resolute.
Without the preceding self-pitying journey, Ye Zhen might not have been able to answer this question.
Being a stranger in the True Spirit Domain, he genuinely didn’t know where to go.
But now, it was different.
His conviction and willpower had once again beco incredibly resilient.
Although newly arrived in the True Spirit Domain with no acquaintances, Ye Zhen now knew his goal—Martial Arts!
Since he had co to the True Spirit Domain, and given the favorable cultivation conditions here, what Ye Zhen needed and wanted to do was to advance further along the path of Martial Arts.
The first step was for Ye Zhen to break through his cultivation to the Soul Sea Realm.
In the Black Dragon Domain, his Acquired Spiritual Body was already perfected, the only thing left was to accumulate Spiritual Power, elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and then look for a chance to break through.
However, in the Black Dragon Domain, accumulating Spiritual Power was a quite slow process, roughly needing close to a year.
Now in the True Spirit Domain, with such dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the speed of cultivation would certainly be different.
“Are there any suitable places nearby for cultivation?” Ye Zhen asked aloud.
Being resolute is only a broad direction; the small details still need to be handled by Ye Zhen.
“There are no suitable places for cultivation.
Although there are many spirit veins in the True Spirit Domain, the number of martial artists is even greater.
All the spirit veins have been claid long ago.
For you, a martial artist from an outer domain, it’s almost impossible to find an unclaid spirit vein.
However, many cities’ clans, sects, and noble families have cultivation chambers for rent in their stationing Dao Fields, where you can choose to cultivate.
Although it’s quite expensive, the spirit plants you obtained in the Secret Realm of Demon Souls should suffice for a substantial period of cultivation.
Well, the only downside is that most of the rented Spirit Vein Quiet Chambers are constructed over low or mid-grade spirit veins,” Luo Yingzi said.
“Mid-grade spirit veins, that’ll do for now!”
“Hmm, start cultivating, and once your cultivation breaks through to the Soul Sea Realm, consider joining a martial artist organization.
By then, strive for it, you might just get to enjoy the benefits of high-grade spirit veins!”
As they spoke, Luo Yingzi passed Ye Zhen two Jade Scrolls and a Jade Talisman.
“Here, this Jade Talisman is my Spirit Guide, you can contact through talisman communication if needed, but bear in mind, my assistance cos at a lofty price!”
“And these two Jade Scrolls, one is a map of the True Spirit Domain for you, not very detailed, but sufficient to find a city or small town according to the map.”
“As for this Jade Scroll, it pertains to the second critical function of the Demon Soul Fruit, or rather, its true value, which is too complex to explain.
I’ve recorded everything in it, take a good look.”
“Thank you!” Taking the Jade Scrolls, Ye Zhen and Luo Yingzi exchanged talisman leads, and strangely, the Deviless Luo Yingzi beca Ye Zhen’s first friend in the True Spirit Domain.
Looking at the sky, Luo Yingzi said, “It’s about ti; I need to head back near Gu Hun Mountain to gather with my sect.”
“Oh, and about you having five Demon Soul Fruits, you must keep it a secret from others.
Otherwise, you’ll find yourself hunted by Vein Forging Realm powerhouses all over the world.
Also, keep my involvent a secret!” she cautioned as her graceful body took flight.
“Rest assured, until we et again!” Ye Zhen bowed his hands!
“Hehe, until we et again.
I hope next ti we et, you can still recognize…
!” Luo Yingzi said the last two words with a full body of seductive charm, causing even the Ye Zhen in his Sword Heart Enlightennt state to be montarily distracted!
