"Mister Ye, most of the treasures have been taken by us, but please do not tell anyone." Right then, Feng Yanrou said.
Ye Chen looked around and nodded, "You are right. This ruin itself is a great treasure. For example, that silver protective cover, the building that was made into a huge mechanism, and that death tunnel, they are all enough to make any rank 6 martial school go crazy. Even rank 5 martial schools would want them. Don't worry, I will not take these things away, and I will not burn the bridge after crossing it. But, if your Snowy Martial School makes too big of a move, it would be hard for you to hide from the other rank 6 martial schools."
Feng Yanrou said, "Indeed, it would be very hard to take the ruin for ourselves. We might even have to share it with the others. But, since it was us who came here first, we will definitely get the biggest share. That is why Yanrou hopes that mister Ye will keep it a secret."
Ye Chen smiled. He was not interested in the fights between the big martial schools. Since he had already gotten enough, this place had lost its value to him. He suggested, "Let's go back the way we came."
The three left the warehouse and came to the tunnel.
The death tunnel would be attacked when they came in, but it would be quiet when they went out. Of course, Ye Chen did not dare to take the risk. After a couple of tests, he flew out the way he came in, afraid that something might happen to the tunnel and he might die.
The three came out, and the puppet warriors followed closely behind.
After the time it took to make a pot of tea, the three appeared at the bottom of the lake. Looking back at the white gold Bone Disappearing Qi, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'This place is forty thousand miles away from the Blue Mountain Island, and it is hidden in the deepest part of the lake. Without getting close to ten miles, I would not be able to sense it at all. If it were not for my powerful soul power, and my sword spirit embryo had given birth to the light of will power, which has a range of eighty miles, it would be very easy to miss it.'
Exploring the depths of the lake with a radius of fifty thousand miles, it was too easy to miss out on ten miles of area. It was unavoidable.
Back in the Blue Mountain Island, Ye Chen noticed that the foundation of his golden statue had been built. It was ten meters in both length and width. Judging from the scale, it would not be a problem for the statue to reach one to two hundred meters tall. One to two hundred meters tall statue made entirely out of gold; the Blue Mountain Nation was quite careful in this aspect.
In the following days, Ye Chen spent all his time learning the Thunder Beast Transformation and the Sky Shattering Clouds. The Thunder Beast Transformation was a top rank Earth Realm martial art, and its fourth transformation, the Thunder Bird Transformation, was only slightly less difficult than the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Art. However, Ye Chen did not plan to master it within a short period of time. He only wanted to use the Thunder Beast Transformation as a springboard, preparing to merge the eighth movement of the Sky Cloud Sword Art with the Sky Shattering Clouds.
The Sky Shattering Clouds combined with the eighth movement of the Sky Cloud sword arts could be said to be Ye Chen's biggest goal in the near future. It was not that he was too impatient, but that he had no other choice.
The advantages of low rank profound martial arts were too great. As long as he could comprehend ten percent, he would be able to surpass the eighth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Arts and the current Sky Shattering Clouds. If he could comprehend twenty percent, his power would double, and he would be able to challenge those with higher realms. If he could comprehend thirty percent, then it would be horrifying. Ye Chen could imagine what would happen if an Astral Reaching paragon with a top rank artifact fought against him with thirty percent of a low rank profound martial art. At the very least, he did not have absolute confidence in winning against his opponent, not to mention the forty to fifty percent. Ye Chen did not even dare to imagine it.
Although Ye Chen's battle power was twice that of an Astral Reaching paragon, he could not afford to be too far behind in some aspects. How could he not be anxious?
"Once the Sky Shattering Clouds is combined with the eighth movement of the Sky Cloud Sword Arts, its power should be equal to the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Arts. It would be enough to compete with twenty percent of a low rank profound martial art. The most urgent thing right now is to reach this goal, and then comprehend the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Arts. Once these two are completed, it will be time for me to comprehend the profound and create my own low rank profound martial art."
Ye Chen's goal was very clear. He knew that breaking through from the Astral Reaching Realm to the Sea of Souls Realm was too difficult. Even Xuanhou had to spend six to seven years to cultivate from the Astral Reaching Realm to the Sea of Souls Realm. Meanwhile, he had reached the Astral Reaching Realm at the age of nineteen. Right now, he was twenty-one, and it had only been two years. Even if his talent was higher than Xuanhou's, it would still be impossible for him to become a Sea of Souls Realm expert in such a short time.
Therefore, the development of martial arts was the most important thing.
Learning martial arts was not the only thing that Ye Chen wanted to do. There were a lot of ruins around the Blue Mountain Island, and Ye Chen would occasionally go there to explore and search for some treasures. His soul power's range was about five times that of normal Astral Reaching Realm warriors, which was too big of an advantage. He could always find some good stuff. Just the day before yesterday, he found an extremely rare Blood Yuan Plant in a herb garden. Although it was not as valuable as the Sky Demon Flower petals, it was still a great healing plant. Plus, the Blood Yuan Plant had an advantage, which was that even if one did not have Zhen Yuan in their body, they would be able to take effect immediately.
Spirit plants, spirit stones, great weapons, martial arts …
Ye Chen had gained quite a lot, and he also had the thought of leaving the Blue Mountain Island.
…
Above the boundless Star Regional Lake, there were no clouds for thousands of miles. The sky was clear, and a light breeze was blowing gently, bringing up small waves.
A human figure descended from the sky, stepping on the surface of the lake.
"This place is thousands of miles away from the Blue Mountain Island. There should not be many people passing by. I will use the flying puppet to get there."
It was indeed Ye Chen. Since the Blue Mountain Island had too many people, there were not many remote places. Therefore, after exploring most of the ancient ruins, he decided to leave the Blue Mountain Island, preparing to merge the eighth style of the Sky Cloud Sword Art into the Sky Shattering Clouds. Learning martial arts would not be a bad way to go. In the boundless Star Regional Lake, those uninhabited islands were undoubtedly the best choice.
Buzz!
The air slightly vibrated, and the leopard shaped puppet appeared in front of Ye Chen.
The puppet was four meters long and two and a half meters tall. It had a pair of eight meters long wings. Its claws were sharp, and its eyes were two bowl-sized gems. Apart from the fact that it did not breathe, it looked very similar to a leopard shaped beast. From afar, one would definitely not mistake it for a puppet.
Flipping over and sitting on the puppet, Ye Chen pushed his mental power, making the puppet run. Splash!
Splash! Splash!
Without spreading its wings, the puppet started to run at an extreme speed on the lake. Because of the energy in its feet, it was running very steadily. Soon, it did not sink into the lake.
"Yeah, its running speed is about three times the speed of sound."
Ye Chen nodded. This speed was already very satisfying for him, since even rank 9 beasts could only run at this speed on the ground. Only by relying on the beast yuan could they reach ten times the speed of sound. Even if it were a Sea of Souls Realm warrior, it would still be the same.
"Fly!"
As he gave the order, the puppet opened its wings and started to flap violently. Waves started to appear on the surface of the lake, bringing up a hundred-meter-tall wave.
Shoo!
A high-pitched sound was heard as the puppet shot into the sky, bringing Ye Chen up to ten thousand meters in the sky.
Seven times!
Eight times!
Nine times!
Ten times!
Soon, the puppet's speed reached ten times the speed of sound, which was slightly slower than Sea of Souls Realm warriors. At the end of its tail, three nozzles were shooting out scorching streams of air. This stream of air could melt gold and iron, even burning the air into nothingness.
"This speed is too fast!"
Ye Chen was shocked. The only time he had experienced ten times the speed of sound was when Long Biyi brought him back to the Windy Nation. His fastest speed was definitely not more than seven times the speed of sound.
"With this flying puppet, I will not need to use Zhen yuan to travel anymore. As for top rank spirit stones, that would indeed be a problem."
The flying puppet would need to be filled with one hundred and twenty top rank spirit stones each time. If it flew at full speed, it would last for twenty-four hours, which would cost one hundred and twenty top rank spirit stones. In a few days, the three thousand five hundred top rank spirit stones that Ye Chen had gotten from the battles would be used up, and he would not be able to afford it at all.
"Let's see if I can fill in the mid rank spirit stones. I do not need to travel this fast anyway."
Ye Chen suddenly had an idea as he told the puppet to stop.
After digging out the top rank spirit stones, Ye Chen filled in one hundred and twenty mid rank spirit stones.
Then, he continued to fly at full speed.
Three times!
Four times!
Five times!
After filling in the mid rank spirit stones, the maximum speed of the puppet was five times the speed of sound.
"This speed is more than enough. I will use mid rank spirit stones in the future."
Different from top rank spirit stones, Ye Chen already had more than two million mid rank spirit stones. He could definitely afford it. Moreover, the consumption of Zhen yuan was actually more expensive than mid rank spirit stones. Once his Zhen yuan was used up, he would need to replenish it with pellets, and a single pellet would cost quite a lot of mid rank spirit stones.
Of course, using mid rank spirit stones as the energy source could only last for six hours, and he would have to change it every six hours.
Traveling at five times the speed of sound, Ye Chen soon found a deserted island that he was satisfied with.
The deserted island was huge, no less than a thousand miles in size. There were a large number of land beasts living on it, and there were also a few amphibious beasts.
Landing in the mountains on the west side of the island, Ye Chen quickly put away the puppet.
"Let's comprehend it here!"
…
Time flowed like water, and Ye Chen had already lived on the deserted island for three days.
During this time, Ye Chen's comprehension of the Thunder Beast Transformation went smoothly.
The Thunder Beast Transformation had a total of four transformations: Thunder Bear, Thunder Leopard, Thunder Lion, and Thunder Bird. Ye Chen had already comprehended the third transformation a long time ago. Now, he had even trained it to completion, and the fourth transformation, Thunder Bird Transformation, was starting to make some progress.
"Break!"
Holding the Thunder Sword with both of his hands, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack towards the mountain in front of him.
Boom!
A thunder lion with two wings rushed out and crashed into the middle of the mountain.
With a thunderous sound, the huge mountain was blown into pieces. Black rocks flew everywhere, as if it was the end of the world.
"Thunder Lion Transformation combined with Thunder Bird Transformation, growing a pair of wings … It is time to study the Sky Shattering Clouds. I believe it will be a success this time."
In fact, to merge the eighth movement of the Sky Cloud Sword Art with the Sky Shattering Clouds, he only needed one opportunity. That was why Ye Chen went to study the Thunder Beast Transformation, hoping to find this opportunity from the thunder mentality of the Thunder Beast Transformation and use it in his martial arts.
What was more troublesome was that this time, he only needed to merge the sword movement of the Sky Cloud Sword Art without the cloud mentality, because from mentality to profound, the two different elements would gradually separate. It was just like a low rank profound martial art, which only had one profound, so it was impossible to have two. Previously, he had combined the cloud mentality with the thunder mentality. In the short term, it was indeed a shortcut, but in the long term, it was a mistake. When the two complementary mentalities reached their limit, they would eventually separate. Right now, Ye Chen had made great progress in the thunder mentality, so he needed to separate the cloud mentality.
