Chapter 421 Taking stock of the gains, the great calamity of ten thousand years
Secondly, there is the transformation of the soul.
Chen Yi sank into his soul sea, where he saw that the originally formless and intangible sea of divine consciousness had now condensed into a tiny figure identical to himself, sitting cross-legged in the void, with a solemn and dignified appearance.
This is precisely the blessing brought about by devouring and refining that Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng—the initial formation of divine consciousness!
His spiritual strength also jumped to the near-fifth level.
This is also a crucial foundation for his path to becoming a deity. Only with a strong enough divine soul can he withstand the baptism and impact of the laws of heaven and earth in the future.
"With the manifestation of divine consciousness, the control over the soul will become incredibly subtle. Whether it is using secret techniques of the soul path, manipulating the essence of heaven and earth, refining spiritual food, or perceiving divination skills, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Next came the comprehension of spatial supernatural powers.
Chen Yi opened his palm, his thoughts shifted slightly, and ripples suddenly appeared in the void a few inches above his palm, an invisible force of restriction spreading out.
He carefully comprehended the Daoist essence of the fifth-order superior spatial array flowing in his mind, while savoring the profound mystery of the original power of the Space-Stabilizing Silver Hammer.
This is a cognitive leap from "use" to "understanding," a fundamental transformation from the fourth to the fifth level.
By combining the origin of the Vajra Imprisoning Heaven Finger with the spatial power of the Fixed Space Silver Disc, he has initially mastered and cultivated the ability of "Restricting Space".
Although its scope is limited and its power is still shallow, it is a brand new starting point.
Moreover, he still has a large amount of fifth-order high-grade spatial array Dao essence that he has not yet fully digested, and he will need to spend a lot of time comprehending and improving it later.
At the same time, Chen Yi's Thunder Spirit Body Refinement also climbed to the peak of the middle grade of the fourth rank by refining that fifth-rank low-grade Thunder Spirit Fruit. He could clearly sense that there was still a vast amount of thunder energy hidden within his body that had not yet been fully refined and absorbed.
He had only used less than half of the energy from the Thunder Spirit Fruit.
"With the experience of breaking through the Vajra Skill realm, the barrier of Thunder Spirit Body Refinement is no longer a concern. Once we leave the secret realm and find a safe place, we can push it to the late stage of the fourth rank at any time." Chen Yi was quite confident about this.
His gaze fell into the depths of the storage magic treasure.
There lay two spiritual fruits, each with four colors swirling around them, of mid-grade fifth rank, containing extremely high levels of Daoist essence, which was a luxury for him at this moment.
This will be an excellent resource for him to steadily improve his Nascent Soul cultivation for a long time to come.
"Cultivation of magical power is the foundation of the Dao, and it cannot be rushed. These two spiritual fruits should be refined slowly to solidify the foundation."
Furthermore, deep within Chen Yi's soul, there is a fifth-tier [Void Thunder Soul Talisman] inheritance imprinted. This is a Nascent Soul level inheritance that integrates the two abilities of space and soul thunder, and is the true core secret technique of the Soul Thunder Sect.
With it, Chen Yi had a clear and definite path to further develop the Soul Thunder Sect's techniques to the Nascent Soul stage.
Having reviewed everything, Chen Yi felt a surge of pride, but a shadow soon fell over his heart.
The only regrettable thing is that the natal golden scripture relic transformed from the clone of Kudu still remains in the void space where the original Dingkong Silver Hammer was located.
With Chen Yi's current strength, he is not entirely confident in dealing with the terrifying creature that occupies the Void Realm and retrieving the relic.
"If the opportunity arises in the future, we'll discuss it further." Chen Yi could only suppress this thought for the time being.
In reality, even if he could retrieve it, he would never dare to take it out at this moment.
That relic was transformed from the original essence of the avatar of Kudu. Once it returns to the Great Thousand Azure Realm, the old monk Kudu of the Vajra Temple, who has transformed into a Nascent Soul, will most likely detect its existence through some kind of hidden causal intuition or sect secret method.
At that time, he will be unable to defend himself.
The biggest hidden danger at present is whether the true body of the Bitter Deity can find out, and when it will be confirmed that its clone was destroyed in the ancient battlefield space.
For Chen Yi, this was like a sword hanging over his head, a huge threat that he had to be wary of.
"I must improve my strength as soon as possible, at least to have the power to protect myself or escape in front of a Nascent Soul expert." A warning sounded in Chen Yi's heart.
However, Chen Yi was not afraid of the situation at hand.
He mentally analyzed all his gains, gaining a clear understanding of his own combat strength. If he were to unleash his full power, he would be fully capable of fighting even a seasoned Nascent Soul peak expert like Ji Yinglong.
Even without the opponent using the Ji family's accumulated resources and trump cards over tens of thousands of years, Chen Yi could still gain the upper hand by relying on his own endless supernatural abilities.
Moreover, in this short period of time, Chen Yi still has a great deal of insights and Dao essence within his body that he has not yet digested.
It can be said that at most only one or two tenths of his improvement from entering the secret realm was converted into combat power.
Several days later, a violent tremor came from the ancient battlefield space, and the final passage was about to close.
Outside the entrance to the secret realm, cultivators from various factions had already gathered, creating a tense and solemn atmosphere. Whenever the light gate flickered and a figure staggered out, it would attract countless scrutinizing gazes.
On the Great Green cultivation side, the last one to step out of the gate of light was a Nascent Soul female cultivator dressed in a plain yellow dress.
It was Hu Mingyue.
But at this moment, she had already shed her ethereal, otherworldly aura, becoming more reserved and composed.
He appeared to be an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
Her appearance immediately sparked a murmur and a commotion.
"This woman—does she resemble the maidservant from Qingyun Cave Heaven?"
"She actually survived? This—"
Some find it hard to believe, unable to imagine how this seemingly ordinary Nascent Soul female cultivator could have survived to this day in the extremely dangerous ancient battlefield.
Only a few late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and the monks of Vajra Temple remained focused on the fading, soon-to-disappear spatial passage, where Master Kudu had yet to appear.
Ji Yinglong's brows were furrowed, and although the monk Kongxing clasped his hands together and silently recited scriptures, his anxiety was hard to hide.
The fluctuations in the spatial passage became increasingly violent, with light and darkness flickering erratically, and dark cracks had already torn open at its edges.
Finally, with a soft sound like shattering glass, the entire passage trembled violently and then completely collapsed, turning into countless fireflies of light that dissipated into the void, severing the last connection with the Great Azure Realm.
There was no one left in the passageway.
A deathly silence enveloped the surroundings.
The group finally realized that Kudu had probably perished there.
One of the strongest beings from the Great Azure Realm who entered the ancient battlefield this time, a Nascent Soul avatar, failed to return!
Ji Yinglong, the monk Kongxing, the true lord of Hanshan, and others all had extremely solemn expressions.
They were well aware of what the loss of the only Nascent Soul avatar in the Great Azure Realm meant for the entire Great Azure Realm.
This is not only a devastating loss for Vajra Temple, but also a bad message at the top level of the entire interface.
In particular, some highly perceptive cultivators could vaguely sense that at the newly shattered spatial node, there remained an extremely unstable and eerie aura, as if foreshadowing some kind of misfortune.
Just then, in an ancient family, an old man with white hair and beard suddenly groaned, his face turning deathly pale.
"Elder Chang Geng!" True Monarch Han Shan flashed and caught him.
The old man shakily took something from his robes—an ancient tortoise shell, riddled with cracks and almost completely shattered. There was another crack on the shell, a shocking sight.
"Gentlemen—" The old man's voice was hoarse, trembling as if his soul had been damaged, "Just now—I used a [Mysterious Heavenly Tortoise Shell] inherited from my family as a guide to forcibly deduce a divination of heavenly secrets."
All eyes instantly turned to him.
The old man mustered his last breath, almost exhausting all his strength, and said, word by word, "The divination indicates that the Great Azure Realm will face a catastrophe unlike any other in ten thousand years within the next few decades!"
