Wang Heng had given Ye Chen a whole box of nutrition potions for growing plants. There were thirty bottles in each box, which would be enough for him to use for a long time.
After saying goodbye to the Wang family, Ye Chen did not leave the Snake Island right away. Instead, he flew into the air and circled around the island.
The Snake Island had a radius of hundreds of miles. One third of it was the city, while the other two thirds were the wild forests. Besides that, there were also rivers and lakes formed by nature.
Soon, Ye Chen found a flat land on the back of the Snake Island that was surrounded by mountains and rivers.
"This place is not bad. There are fish in the water, and there are wild animals in the deep mountains."
Ye Chen was not here for sightseeing. In fact, he was planning to train here for a while, completely isolated from the outside world.
"First of all, I should train my Mysterious Great Art to the eleventh realm, the highest realm."
With Ye Chen's comprehensive ability, he had been stuck at the tenth realm of the Mysterious Great Art for a couple of months already. Normal mid-rank Earth Realm martial arts would not be this difficult. But the Mysterious Great Art was different. Although the tenth realm and the eleventh realm were only one realm apart, the gap between them was huge. Not to mention the fact that the zhen Qi at the eleventh realm would be even purer and more aggressive, only the zhen yuan that could be produced would be able to make any mid-rank Earth Realm martial arts pale in comparison.
It should be known that not every martial art would be able to produce zhen yuan during the Clasping Yuan Realm, even if it was just one breath. For example, Murong Qingcheng had trained one of the top martial arts of the Sky Demon Martial School, the top rank Earth Realm Sky Demon Great Art. Once it reached the highest realm, the quality of the zhen qi would be close to the zhen yuan. However, it would never reach the level of the zhen yuan. In comparison, the zhen qi quality of the Mysterious Great Art was not as good as the Sky Demon Great Art. However, if one could produce a breath of zhen yuan, the quality of the zhen yuan would be way better than any zhen qi, which would give it a certain advantage. One attack would be equivalent to a full power attack from a normal Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior.
If it were not for that, Ye Chen would not have been so obsessed with the Mysterious Great Art. Last time in the Gold Tripod City auction, among the last three items, there was a top rank Earth Realm martial art manual, which was bought by an Astral Reaching Realm warrior for sixty thousand mid-rank soul stones. There were three reasons why Ye Chen did not participate in the bidding. First, he was worried that the opponent would take revenge on him. Second, the price was too high. Sixty thousand mid-rank soul stones would be more than half of his wealth. The last reason was that he thought it was too low, and not worth it at all. A top rank Earth Realm martial art might be more powerful than a normal mid-rank Earth Realm martial art, but the Mysterious Great Art was not a normal mid-rank Earth Realm martial art. It was the top of the top, since it came from the Heaven Dream Battle Palace after all. Plus, once trained to its eleventh realm, one could produce a breath of zhen yuan, which was something that normal high-rank Earth Realm martial arts could never compete with.
Instead of finding a high-rank Earth Realm martial art to train, it would be better to train the Mysterious Great Art to its eleventh realm. Unless there was a top rank Earth Realm martial art or even a Heaven Realm martial art for him to choose from, there was no need for him to choose.
Inside the man-made cave …
Ye Chen sat in the middle of the cave with his legs crossed and both of his hands on his abdomen, slowly activating his Zhen Qi.
Under Ye Chen's control, the spinning speed of the Zhen Qi spiral inside his dantian increased. Wisps of Zhen Qi were thrown out one after another, making a big circulation along his limbs and hundreds of meridians, forming an extremely complicated and mysterious human Zhen Qi circulation map.
As the number of big circulation increased, the Zhen Qi spiral seemed to become tighter and tighter, shrinking towards the center step by step. Nobody could see anything from the outside, but the pressure in the center of the spiral was extremely horrifying. It was a power that could even shatter top-grade steel, and was the core of the Zhen Qi spiral.
Time flowed like a small river outside the cave.
During this period of time, some high-level warriors would occasionally come to this place, intending to train their martial arts or study their martial arts. Encountering this kind of situation, Ye Chen's Zhen Qi would burst out, and his sword intent would naturally be activated, shooting out a wisp of Zhen Qi along with it.
The Zhen Qi that contained the sword intent was just as powerful as the sword Qi. The people who came would cover their heads and run away, knowing that there was a powerful warrior training in this place, and they should not be disturbed.
As time went by, all the high-level warriors who lived on the Snake Island knew about this, and had listed the area within ten miles as a forbidden area. No one dared to step in. However, human beings were always curious about the unknown, and warriors were no exception. Everyone was trying to guess who was the one training.
Naturally, Ye Chen did not know what the others were thinking. He was at the most crucial moment, and whether he could succeed or not depended on this one move.
"Break!"
The Zhen Qi map inside his body was only missing one point, which was located in the center. As long as he could break through that point, the complete Zhen Qi map of the Mysterious Great Art would appear. Unfortunately, it was not that easy to break through. Although warriors had broken through all the meridians and acupoints in their bodies, it would be easy to break through by running their Zhen Qi alone. However, every martial art had its own unique Zhen Qi map. If one wanted to break through to the next level, he would have to run his Zhen Qi according to the map. Otherwise, there would be no effect at all.
Within ten days, Ye Chen had thought about it countless times, and finally found the perfect breakthrough point. With this breakthrough point as the foundation, the rest of his Zhen Qi would continue to flow, and the power would increase layer by layer. He should be able to break through the center point.
Without any mistakes, Ye Chen had succeeded.
The perfect Zhen Qi map of the Mysterious Great Art had been completely formed. His Zhen Qi circulation speed had increased by thirty percent all of a sudden, and it was connected with the Zhen Qi spiral in his Dantian.
After that …
The Zhen Qi spiral shrunk twice in a row, and then exploded with a bright dark blue light. The light filled up the entire cave, and the air vibrated like water.
"The eleventh realm of the Mysterious Great Art! Late Clasping Yuan Realm! "
Ye Chen's voice sounded a bit surprised.
The moment the Mysterious Great Art had broken through to the eleventh realm, for some unknown reason, the bottleneck of his cultivation had suddenly been broken. The quantity of his Zhen Qi had been increasing rapidly, and the quality of his Zhen Qi had also increased. It was obviously a sign that he had reached the Late Clasping Yuan Realm. Normally, if he wanted to break through to the next realm, it would take him at least three to four months, and that was only because he had a great comprehensive ability, which made it easier for him to break through to the next realm.
However, he had not expected that his cultivation would improve at the same time as the Mysterious Great Art had reached the highest realm, and he had successfully reached the Late Clasping Yuan Realm.
"Is it because my sword intent has been greatly improved, and I have accumulated enough power?" After thinking for a long time, Ye Chen could only come up with this one explanation, and none of the other explanations were convincing enough.
No matter what, the simultaneous improvement of the Mysterious Great Art and his cultivation was a great thing for Ye Chen. Right now, he was not even sure of his own power. If he could, he really wanted to fight against the Ghost Head, who had already been killed, and see how many sword attacks it would take to kill him.
'Three sword attacks? Or one sword attack? '
Shaking his head, Ye Chen put his attention on the Zhen Qi spiral in his Dantian.
"Eh? Didn't they say that once the Mysterious Great Art reaches the eleventh realm, a stream of Zhen Yuan would appear? How come there is no sign of it at all? "
Ye Chen did not think that the content of the manual was fake, there must be a reason for it.
After sensing it carefully, Ye Chen finally found a drop of Zhen Qi that was turning dark blue in color. Compared to the other slightly lighter colored Zhen Qi, this drop of Zhen Qi had a darker color, and a higher quality. What was worth noticing was that the dark blue liquid Zhen Qi was still increasing in quality, and the process was very subtle, so subtle that Ye Chen almost did not notice it at all.
Ye Chen thought to himself, 'It is true that the eleventh realm of the Mysterious Great Art can produce a stream of Zhen Yuan, but it will take some time. If I am not wrong, once this drop of Zhen Yuan is successfully produced, it will be consumed after one use. If I want to use it again, I will have to wait for the new Zhen Yuan to be produced, and the cycle will never end.'
"That is not bad. The Mysterious Great Art is only a mid-rank Earth Realm martial art after all, so it would be impossible to produce Zhen Yuan in a short time. So, with one more drop of Zhen Yuan inside my body, I will have one more ace attack, which is even more horrifying than the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art."
Feeling relieved, Ye Chen slowly let out a breath, stood up, and walked out of the cave.
…
Beside the river …
A bonfire was burning, and Ye Chen was grilling fish.
Not eating or drinking for more than ten days had affected Ye Chen's physical strength to a certain extent. Before warriors reached the Sea of Souls Realm, it was necessary for them to eat.
The aroma of grilled fish filled the air, attracting a lot of low rank beasts. These beasts watched from afar, not daring to come closer. Although Ye Chen's qi seemed normal, the deaths of those high rank beasts were still fresh in their minds. None of them dared to fight for food.
Ye Chen chuckled as he waved his hand. Seven to eight huge grilled fish that were not completely cooked shot out in all directions, landing in front of the beasts.
Woo! Woo!
The low rank beasts fought with each other, enjoying the food.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Ye Chen chased away those low rank beasts who were watching. For the next period of time, he was ready to train his sword movements, and he could not afford to be distracted.
Right now, Ye Chen's three most powerful sword movements were the One Sword Attack, the Lone Peak Kill, and the Sky Shattering Clouds.
As Ye Chen reached the Late Clasping Yuan Realm, the One Sword Attack's power had increased again. No one knew if it was a tragedy, but the Lone Peak Kill was still more powerful than the One Sword Attack because of its completion. Plus, the One Sword Attack had a fatal flaw, which was that it consumed a lot of mental power. So, even Ye Chen did not dare to use it too much. Therefore, the One Sword Attack had to be abandoned again.
Of course, it did not mean that the One Sword Attack was useless. This sword movement would grow along with the warrior's cultivation. At least before the Sea of Souls Realm, it would not be outdated. If there was anything to blame, it could only be blamed on Ye Chen's great comprehensive ability, which allowed him to combine the sword movements and the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords into one. It had reached completion, and its power was almost at the top rank Earth Realm sword art.
Although the Lone Peak Kill had reached completion, Ye Chen still wanted to train it. In his opinion, although the sword movement seemed to have reached completion, the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords still had a slight flaw. This flaw was not man-made, but because Ye Chen had not performed the completed Lone Peak Kill yet.
As for the Sky Shattering Clouds that had combined the three movements of the Sky Cloud Sword Art, it was a huge project for Ye Chen. It was too difficult to combine low-rank Earth Realm sword arts, because once the sword art reached the low-rank Earth Realm, each movement would be very close to perfection and would not be able to go any further. Right now, if Ye Chen wanted to combine them together, the difficulty would be unimaginable. Using the example from Ye Chen's world, if you put some scattered parts together, you might be able to make a machine. But to combine a few successfully made machines together, it would require a shocking amount of skills and brains, and it would not be something that could be done in a short period of time.
The Sky Shattering Clouds was hard to combine, but Ye Chen had never underestimated its potential. If he could combine all of the Sky Cloud Sword Art into one movement, its power would reach the Heaven Realm. Plus, it would be a Heaven Realm sword movement that he had created himself, which would be different from learning from others.
