Jianchen could not help but feel rather dejected when he saw how Xiao Ling was unable to do anything. He sighed inside, "Looks like I can only ask senior Tian Jian and the ten protector clans in the future. I hope I can obtain the secret technique that can resolve Huang Luan's problem."
Jianchen and Huang Luan remained there, comprehending the mysteries of the world that Xiao Ling had created.
Although Jianchen could unleash the strength of the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor with his Emperor Armament, his comprehension of the mysteries of the world remained at the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler. As a result, he was unable to create a Space Gate even though he possessed the power to kill the Holy Emperor. He needed Ruijin and Black Fish to assist him from the side the entire time.
Right now, Jianchen only wanted to make up for his lack of comprehension of the mysteries of the world as quickly as possible. He did not hope to comprehend the mysteries of the world to the same level as his own strength. He only hoped that he could reach the level of the Holy Emperor in the shortest amount of time possible so that he could create a Space Gate by himself.
It had to be mentioned that Jianchen's talent was truly unprecedented. Both his cultivation speed and comprehension were extraordinary. Very soon, he was completely submerged in the mysteries of the world that Xiao Ling had created, fusing with his entire soul and mind to comprehend them in detail.
When ordinary people comprehended the mysteries of the world, they would use all their effort to comprehend the world. The world they comprehended was hazy, a mixture of truth and falsehood. It was like a painting that was shrouded by a layer of mist. If they wanted to benefit from it, they had to break through the mist first. Only then would they be able to see what was truly behind it.
Now that Jianchen and the others had Xiao Ling's assistance, they could comprehend the mysteries of the world as if they were looking at the most realistic painting. They could clearly see what was on it without the mist, illusions, or obstructions of truth and falsehood. This allowed them to avoid many detours, making it much easier for them to comprehend the mysteries of the world compared to other Saint Rulers.
This was not spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm. Although Xiao Ling had created the mysteries of the world, they still needed to comprehend, understand, and comprehend it themselves if they wanted to benefit from it. Otherwise, it would be like drawing water with a sieve. They would not benefit from it at all.
Jianchen, Huang Luan, Bi Hai, and Huang Tianba were completely immersed in the mysteries of the world. At that moment, the four of them felt that the mysteries of the world were actually so close to them. In their memories, they had never comprehended the mysteries of the world at such a close distance. At that moment, they could feel that the mysteries of the world were extremely clear. It was no longer as hazy as before.
In the secret room where Chang Wuji was cultivating, the three beast skins had already flown up by themselves. A profound aura radiated from the beast skins, slowly encircling Chang Wuji.
Chang Wuji seemed like a meditating monk. He sat there without moving at all. He was completely immersed in the mysteries of the world. He felt like he had vaguely understood something, but he was unable to grasp it.
Yang Ling's burly body sat on the ground quietly as well. He did not have the assistance of the beast furs, so he could only work hard to comprehend the mysteries of the world that Xiao Ling had created for him if he wanted to reach Sainthood.
In the blink of an eye, Jianchen's group had stayed in Mercenary City for a year. Everyone had benefited greatly during that year, especially Jianchen. His comprehension of the mysteries of the world had finally reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer, and he was still making his way toward the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
Bi Hai and Huang Tianba had benefited greatly as well. The two of them had reached the Sixth and Fifth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler many years ago, so they were close to the peak. Now that they had received Xiao Ling's assistance, they were able to comprehend the mysteries of the world in the most direct way, so they progressed extremely quickly. They both broke through their current levels of cultivation, reaching the Seventh and Sixth Heavenly Layers respectively.
Huang Luan had only reached Sainthood recently, and her strength had directly increased from the First Heavenly Layer to the Third Heavenly Layer because of Jianchen. Her foundation was nowhere near as stable as Huang Tianba and Bi Hai's, so her strength did not increase during the year of cultivation.
However, it was not like she did not benefit at all. She had benefited greatly during the year of cultivation. Although she was still at the Third Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler, her comprehension of the mysteries of the world had increased by quite a lot. She was making her way toward the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler.
Yang Ling and Chang Wuji remained the same as they had been a year ago. They did not seem to have made any progress.
At the same time, a huge divine hall hovered above the Tian Yuan Continent in the cold, dark outer space. It was majestic and grand. The divine hall was completely white. It shone with a bright light, illuminating the dark space nearby.
Inside the shrine, there was a majestic hall on the top floor. A huge throne was floating three meters high in the air, surrounded by a layer of moonlight power that could be seen with the naked eye. It emitted a gentle light, dyeing the entire hall white.
On the huge throne, You Yue held the Moon God Scepter in her hand as she sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. Waves of powerful energy undulations were emitted from her body from time to time. The moonlight energy surrounding the huge throne was endlessly absorbed into You Yue's body, causing You Yue's aura to continuously strengthen.
Jianchen and the others cultivated with the help of Xiao Ling's comprehension of the mysteries of the world in the depths of Mercenary City. You Yue did not remain idle either. She remained in the empty divine hall all by herself, silently enduring the boredom and loneliness as she worked hard to increase her strength.
You Yue's body had been modified by Fairy Haoyue's pure moon essence. At the same time, she cultivated a cultivation method that surpassed the Saint Tier, the Moon God's Treasured Reflection. Her rate of improvement was no slower than Huang Luan's Water Spirit's Body, which only appeared once in a hundred thousand years. In just a year, You Yue had reached the Fourth Cycle. In just half a year, You Yue would become a Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Master.
Black Fish, Honglian, Kara, and Kazar Jianxiong, who had been drained of all their strength in the Bright Moon Divine Hall a year ago, had recovered to their peak condition after absorbing a large amount of energy from the monster cores. Kara and Kazar Jianxiong had left the artifact space half a year ago. After bidding farewell to Jianchen, they directly returned to their clans.
Kara Li Wei, who had been staying in the Saint Artifact Space, also left the Saint Artifact Space. First, she congratulated Sima You Yue on obtaining the Bright Moon Divine Hall. Then, she followed her clan's ancestor, Kara Luo, back to the Kara clan. However, when the matter of the Bright Moon Divine Hall was brought up, Kara Liwei's expression was filled with envy.
Ruijin, Black Fish, and Honglian all remained in the artifact space. The three of them had reached Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor, and they were only a step away from the Holy Emperor. This step required them to work hard. The mysteries of the world that Xiao Ling had conjured were of no help to them.
Within the territory of the Karl Empire, there was a mountain range that was enveloped by poisonous gas all year round. The mountain range was extremely famous in the Karl Empire, where almost every household knew about it. This was not only because it had existed in the empire for over a hundred thousand years, but also because the mountain range had claimed the lives of countless adventurous mercenaries and experts. Even hermit Saint Rulers had died in the mountain range before.
As time went on, the mountain range became a forbidden ground in the eyes of countless mercenaries and experts of the Karl Empire. It was even given the name of the Soul-burying Mountain.
The Soul-burying Mountain was not deathly silent. Instead, it was filled with life. Countless green plants and towering trees that had existed for hundreds or even thousands of years grew there. There would be one or two magical beasts leaping through the dense forest from time to time. It seemed no different from a regular forest.
However, the only difference was that the Soul-burying Mountain was filled with poison. The poison was present everywhere. Not only was it present in all the plants, but even the soil was poisonous. It was fatal to Earth Saint Masters. At the same time, the poison became more and more intense as one ventured deeper into the mountain range. In the end, even Heaven Saint Masters would struggle to resist it. All the magical beasts that lived there were extremely powerful poisonous beasts without exception.
At this moment, there was a barren mountain in the depths of the Soul-burying Mountain. A vast amount of poisonous gas gathered around the mountain. It was so dense that it had almost liquefied. Even the high class beasts that lived there did not dare to approach it.
The interior of the mountain was a huge space that had been hollowed out. Fist-sized luminous pearls were embedded in the ceiling of the cave. They shone brightly, illuminating the dark interior of the mountain.
In the center of the mountain, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting cross-legged like a stone sculpture. He wore a black robe and was wearing a black robe.
The middle-aged man's appearance was average. He had a resolute expression, and the muscles on his face looked a little stiff. It was as if this was a face that never smiled, which added a sense of righteousness to it. On the middle-aged man's forehead, there was a very eye-catching scar. It was ferocious and terrifying, and it ran across his entire forehead, causing people to tremble in fear.
Beside the middle-aged man was a sword that was around a meter long. It was stabbed into the ground. Although the sword seemed ordinary, it radiated with a tremendous pressure, causing people to shiver.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's closed eyes snapped open. Immediately, two strange lights shot out from his eyes. One of his eyes was sharp, bright, and filled with determination, while the other shone with a demonic light. The light in his eyes flickered, as if a will-o '-the-wisp was leaping about.
