"My name is Radiance Star, may I know your name?"
Seeing that the light cloud was captured, the mid-grade sword saint's silhouette flickered as he flew over.
"My name is Green Lotus."
Ye Chen replied.
"Green Lotus Sword Saint, I wonder if you could return the light cloud to me?"
The Radiance Star Sword Saint felt somewhat depressed. Earlier, although he was being chased by the light cloud, the actual situation wasn't like that. The light cloud could only be captured, it couldn't be forcefully attacked. Otherwise, it would reach the limit of the light cloud's endurance and shatter. Hence, the Radiance Star Sword Saint had no way to display his strength and could only rely on his physical strength to capture the light cloud.
Evidently, Ye Chen hadn't heard of this before and was somewhat startled. The tone of the Radiance Star Sword Saint wasn't rude and unreasonable. Ye Chen didn't feel that the Radiance Star Sword Saint was being unreasonable.
Seeing that Ye Chen didn't seem to know anything, the Radiance Star Sword Saint told Ye Chen about the light cloud.
"So that's the case. I was too rash."
Ye Chen returned the light cloud to the Radiance Star Sword Saint.
The Radiance Star Sword Saint had an embarrassed expression on his face. "Speaking of which, I was the one who benefited. If not, I would need at least ten days to capture this light cloud."
Unwilling to take advantage of Ye Chen, the Radiance Star Sword Saint shared his experience with Ye Chen.
"Usually, when the air is agitated, it means that there's a light cloud nearby."
"Remember, don't go to the depths of the valley. Although there are many light clouds there, there's a high possibility of being surrounded and attacked by many. When the number of light clouds reaches a certain level, a light cloud beast will be formed. The strength of the light cloud beast is extremely terrifying. Even the elementary divine technique I comprehended from the 420th Divine Inscription Diagram was unable to injure it. And even if you could injure it, it would only cause it to dissipate."
"..."
Hearing the Radiance Star Sword Saint's explanation, Ye Chen nodded his head repeatedly.
"These are my experiences. You should be careful."
"Many thanks for the information."
These experiences were extremely useful to Ye Chen.
After chatting for a while, the two of them separated.
The first one he caught was five years later. Although there were a lot of spirit clouds in the Spirit Cloud Mountain, it was way too huge, and the spirit clouds were hidden too deep. It would not come out easily. This was the second spirit cloud that Ye Chen had seen in five years.
"Ten thousand."
Ye Chen wasn't anxious at all. He was already prepared to stay here for a long time.
The second one was twenty years later, the third thirty-five years later, and the fourth fifty-two years later …
After a hundred years, Ye Chen had captured seven spirit clouds.
Although it didn't seem like much, the efficiency was actually quite high. Many times, discovering the spirit clouds didn't mean that one could capture them. If it were any other Sword Saint, being able to capture one spirit cloud in a hundred years would already be a great achievement. Most importantly, without comprehending complementary laws, Sword Saints couldn't carry too many spirit clouds. Ye Chen had the Five Elements Space, which could store spirit clouds, but other Sword Saints didn't. Therefore, every time they captured a spirit cloud, they would have to return, which would take twenty years.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had stayed in the Spirit Cloud Mountain Range for five thousand years. In these five thousand years, Ye Chen had obtained three hundred light clouds, which was three million contribution points.
To Ye Chen, this was definitely a windfall.
Of course, to Sword Saints who had condensed divine power, this was probably just a small fortune. Every level had their own values. For an Ultimate Sword Saint, a hundred or two million wasn't much at all. No one would be so bored as to come here to capture the spiritual clouds. If they had the time, they could do more meaningful things.
"The Five Element Space can't take it anymore."
Originally, Ye Chen wanted to stay for a while longer and gather one thousand beams of spirit clouds. However, the Five Elements Space had its limit. Although three hundred beams of spirit clouds seemed to be a lot gentler after being captured, they still possessed a powerful destructive power. The inside of Ye Chen's Five Elements Space was now full of holes.
After returning to Sword God Palace, Ye Chen went to the mission tower and chose to submit the mission.
"I've already transferred three million contribution points to you."
The mission tower also had a Puppet Sword Saint. They were all sentient and were in charge of a large amount of contribution points. These contribution points were all transferred over by the person who issued the mission. Those who completed the mission would be able to obtain a corresponding amount of contribution points from the Puppet Sword Saint. Evidently, the Cloudy Spirit Sword Saint had transferred a large amount of contribution points to the Puppet Sword Saint. In front of Ye Chen, there were many people submitting this mission.
The mission tower had a special storage space. After a period of time, the Cloudy Spirit Sword Saint would come over to collect the light clouds.
Not being able to see the Cloudy Spirit Sword Saint, Ye Chen felt a little regretful. The Ultimate Sword Saint was extremely elusive. Ye Chen had only seen the Snowheart Sword Saint and the Limitless Sword Saint. Although the Ultimate Sword Saint would be on the Swordheart Island, the distance was too far and it was basically impossible to see him. Everyone could only see the word 'sword'. The reason why he was able to see the Limitless Sword Saint was because the Limitless Sword Saint just so happened to pass by the vicinity of Ye Chen.
"3,000,000 contribution points, in addition to my own contribution points, I have a total of 3,600,000 contribution points. I should be able to exchange for the 6th to 9th beginner-stage Divine Inscription diagrams. However, there's no rush for now."
He wasn't in a hurry to exchange for it, nor was he in a hurry to comprehend the divine arts. Ye Chen decided to first earn enough contribution points before doing anything else.
The second time, Ye Chen spent 5,500 years to capture 300 streams of light clouds.
The third time, Ye Chen spent 4,800 years to capture 300 streams of light clouds.
…
The tenth time, Ye Chen spent 5,200 years to capture 300 streams of light clouds.
After ten times, Ye Chen earned a total of 30,000,000 contribution points. And after 50,000 years, Ye Chen even took some time to go to the Swordheart Island to look at the word 'sword'. In any case, he didn't spend too much time looking at the word 'sword'.
Coincidentally, after submitting the mission for the 10th time, the Cloudy Spirit Sword Saint's mission was cancelled. It should be because the amount of light clouds was sufficient.
After exchanging for the 6th to 10th beginner-stage Divine Inscription diagrams, Ye Chen started his closed-door meditation.
Two hundred thousand years passed in a flash. Ye Chen had comprehended five different divine arts. The divine art he comprehended from the 10th beginner-stage Divine Inscription diagram was Blade Heart.
As the 10th divine art, the might of Blade Heart was much stronger than the 5th divine art, Floating Blood. However, it was still insufficient to help Ye Chen pass the 15th level of the Sword God Pagoda.
After some consideration, Ye Chen exchanged for the 100th beginner-stage Divine Inscription diagram.
120,000 years passed.
On the Green Lotus Island.
Chi!
Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
In the sky above the vast and empty island, the void seemed to have split apart. The sky was filled with cross-shaped cracks, and within the cross-shaped cracks, a strange luster flowed like blood and ink.
100th divine art – Soul Severing.
"So powerful. These 10,000,000 contribution points were not spent in vain."
The higher the level of the Divine Inscription diagrams, the more terrifying the divine arts would be. The Scarlet Cloud Sword Saint's strength was much weaker than Ye Chen's, but by relying on the 350th divine art, Sword Qi Danxia, he forcibly passed the 17th level of the Sword God Pagoda. From this, one could very well imagine how great the increase in strength of a divine art was.
"After I completely perfect Soul Severing, I can challenge the Sword God Pagoda again."
Comprehension and perfection were two different things. In these hundreds of thousands of years, Ye Chen had already perfected the first ten divine arts. He believed that perfecting Soul Severing wouldn't take too long.
