"Brother Yan is right. Compared to most of the people, your talent and comprehensive ability are unparalleled. However …" Wang Shi's tone suddenly changed as he said, "Today is different from the past. If you want to be at the forefront, you will need to work even harder. Otherwise, you will be surpassed sooner or later, and then you will be eliminated. In the past ten years, the number of martial geniuses has increased by a couple times, or even ten times. Just our Dragon God Celestial Palace alone has a lot of martial geniuses, who were all selected from different regions. Some of them are unique in terms of martial arts comprehension, some of them have amazing potential in terms of will power, and some of them are extremely talented."
"Talent?" In Ye Chen's understanding, talent referred to training talent.
Wang Shi said, "Brother Ye, have you heard of spirit bodies?"
"Attributed spirit bodies!" Ye Chen recalled all the information that the Battle King had imparted into his brain, and he seemed to have mentioned something about attributed spirit bodies.
"That's right! Some people are more suitable for training fire element Zhen Yuan, while others are more suitable for training earth element Zhen Yuan. Letting them train other element Zhen Yuan would require twice the effort for half the result, and they would not be able to display their potential. However, these kinds of people's potential would evolve once again, and they would have an elemental spirit body. There are all kinds of different elemental spirit bodies, such as gold spirit body, wood spirit body, water spirit body, and so on. People with gold spirit body would be able to train gold element Zhen Yuan several times faster than ordinary people. What's more frightening is that they would be able to comprehend gold mentality or gold profound several times faster. Their body and soul are extremely compatible with the gold element source, and one year of training would be equivalent to several years of bitter training for others. Especially after reaching the Sea of Soul realm, they would have an even greater advantage, and could easily comprehend gold profound."
"Our Dragon God Celestial Palace has a water spirit body genius. I heard that the thunder princess of the thunder region is a thunder spirit body genius. As for what kind of spirit bodies there are in the southern regions, I have no idea."
Ye Chen nodded, "Brother Wang, don't worry. I have never slacked off."
Speaking of which, your Sky Cloud Martial School is not simple at all. Besides you, there is also Xu Jing, who has just become a direct disciple. Her talent is even rarer. She is actually a top martial genius who is born to train qi power. The leader had said that Xu Jing's talent is even higher than his, but she has not used all of her potential yet, not even ten percent of it. I really do not know if it is true or not. "
Yan Kui nodded, "The leader values Xu Jing a lot, more than any other disciple. I have never seen the leader value someone this much, including his direct descendant."
Ye Chen chuckled. It was naturally good that Xu Jing was valued. As for Dragon King saying that she was talented, he must have seen something.
"Brother Ye, our mission has been completed, and we have to go back to report. Are you going to the Extreme Yin Place?" Wang Shi asked.
"Yes."
"Then be careful. The Extreme Yin Place is very chaotic. It is a lawless place. Also, don't cause trouble in the auction houses. The auction houses are backed by three Life and Death Kings. Although they can't appear in the Extreme Yin Place, Life and Death Kings have to give them face. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to chase Daoist Six Fingers so hard. We could just force the auction house to hand over the treasure."
Wang Shi reminded.
Yan Kui interrupted, "Of course, Brother Ye, you don't need to be afraid. If anyone dares to touch you, just fight back. Extreme Astral Reaching experts are considered top figures. Moreover, if you don't fight back, others will treat you like a soft persimmon."
In a lawless place, violence was the only useful method.
The three had never met before, but they were chatting happily. However, all good things must come to an end. After exchanging a few words, Wang Shi and Yan Kui flew off into the distance.
"It's only interesting when there are many geniuses. Otherwise, it would be too boring."
Ye Chen had never considered the young generation of the True Spirit Continent as pressure. Becoming stronger was his goal, and the process of becoming stronger was his life. What was the point of being invincible after training for a hundred years? The value of life was that you were alive, not a dream.
…
The Extreme Yin Place …
Throughout the year, it was filled with a faint black mist. This mist was formed by mixing earth qi with other kinds of qi. Staying in here, people would become more and more violent, more and more unruly. With a slight stimulation, blood would flow like a river, and corpses would be everywhere. Of course, this place could also be used to train people. In this chaotic place, if one could maintain their original heart and not be shaken, it would be very helpful to strengthen one's will.
A human figure descended from the sky, landing on the ground.
"What a dense, heterogeneous aura."
This was a huge wasteland. Looking down, rolling black smoke-like gas gushed out from the ground, rolling and turbulent. It was as if this was not land, but the sky, except that the white clouds had been replaced by black clouds.
Even with Ye Chen's powerful sword intent, he could sense that this mixed earth qi had a side effect of affecting his mind. It would be fine for a short period of time, but after a long period of time, his mind would be eroded by the mixed earth qi, and his personality would change drastically, becoming bloodthirsty and violent.
"There are a lot of powerful warriors in the Extreme Yin Place. Some of the hidden areas have Sea of Souls Realm warriors. I should not fly in the sky, since it would be too eye-catching."
Shoo!
Turning into a beam of light, Ye Chen kept close to the ground as he flew at a low altitude.
After flying for about an hour, Ye Chen saw a group of horses and carriages in the distance. This group was very different from the ones outside. The carriages were made of black wood, and there were some patterns carved on the surface. If one looked carefully, one could see that there was a light shining on the patterns, circulating automatically.
"Mechanism Art!"
Ye Chen was shocked. The Mechanism Art was not as good as the Puppet Art, but there were a lot of similarities. For example, as long as there was a power source, it would be able to provide energy. If he guessed it right, the defense of the carriages should not be weak. When faced with danger, it could activate a protective layer to protect the carriages from being damaged, which was similar to his Puppet House. Of course, the Puppet House was more advanced, since it would require a mental imprint, which could be controlled with mental power.
The carriages were not pulled by normal horses, but a kind of horse-type demonic beast called the Black Submerged Horse. The Black Submerged Horse stepped on the smoke and ran in the sky, causing the carriages to float in the air as well.
It was a huge group of carriages flying at a low altitude.
It could be seen that this caravan had suffered heavy losses. Some of the patterns on the surface of the carriages had been severed. When the flowing light reached there, it immediately stopped, unable to move freely. The human cultivators on horseback were covered in blood, their faces grave.
On the third carriage, the curtain was pulled open, and a pretty head popped out. She seemed to want to see what was going on, but when she saw Ye Chen flying on the wasteland by himself, her eyes brightened. Her red lips opened slightly, and her voice was like a wind chime, "Childe, are you going to the Black Water City?"
The elder sitting on the shaft was startled, and he said with a low voice, "Miss, this guy is not from anywhere. It would be best not to mess with him. Traveling as fast as possible is the right thing to do."
The young lady called Miss said, "Steward, we have lost a lot of people. There are still tens of thousands of miles between here and the Black Water City. I can see that he is so young, and since he has come out to travel, he must be quite powerful. If we invite him into the group, there will be no harm in it."
The steward glanced at Ye Chen and said, "His cultivation is indeed not weak. He is a Late Astral Reaching Realm warrior." The steward himself was at the peak level of Late Astral Reaching Realm.
"If that is the case, then it would be even better."
Hearing her, Ye Chen frowned a little. The Extreme Yin Place was quite vast, and the ground was covered in black smoke. It would be hard to recognize the terrain, and it would be easy to get lost. So, following the group might be a better choice. With that thought in mind, he nodded, "Indeed."
The young lady said, "The Extreme Yin Place is very dangerous. If you travel alone, you will cause a lot of trouble. Why don't you come with us?"
"If you don't mind, I will."
Ye Chen moved closer to the group.
The steward studied Ye Chen for a while and realized that he was younger than he had expected, only twenty-one years old. Such a young man must be one of the top young warriors from some region, which made him feel a lot better. At least, the chance of a young man being a bandit was very low.
The young lady pointed at a carriage in the back, "It is empty. You can go in and rest. I will call you when we reach the Black Water City."
"Thank you!"
Ye Chen did not say much. His body flashed and landed on the shaft of the carriage. He opened the curtain and went in.
"Miss, even if you invite him, he might not help us when we are in danger." The steward shook his head and looked forward.
"The Extreme Yin Place is hard to recognize. I invited him into the group and let him rest in one of the carriages. It is more or less a privilege for him. If we are in danger, he might consider whether or not to help us. Plus, we might not be in danger."
"Yeah, we will do as you say."
The steward thought about it and agreed. Inviting Ye Chen in would mean that they would have one more Late Astral Reaching Realm warrior. Who knows, he might help them when they were in danger. Plus, one more Late Astral Reaching Realm warrior would mean an extra layer of safety. This was without a doubt.
The inside of the carriage was very clean. It seemed like someone had been here before, but now that they were gone, they were most likely dead. Ye Chen sat down and let out a breath.
Boom!
After an unknown period of time, the carriage started to shake slightly.
"It is an Earth Dragon! Three rank 7 Earth Dragons!"
An exclamation entered Ye Chen's ears.
Reaching out his hand to open the curtain, Ye Chen looked over. In the black smoke, three earthworm-like beasts that were countless times bigger than earthworms broke out of the ground. These three beasts were dozens of meters long, and their heads were filled with sharp teeth. They attacked towards the people in the carriages.
The Extreme Yin Place only had demonic beasts — Earth Dragons.
"Evil creatures, you are looking for death!"
The steward and many of the experts in the group attacked one after another. All kinds of light shone, attacking the Earth Dragons.
The Earth Dragons loved the Earth Qi and Yin Qi the most, and the Extreme Yin Place was undoubtedly their base. With the power of the terrain, the rank 7 Earth Dragons were as powerful as rank 8 beasts. Normal Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not be able to compete with them at all. Only the housekeeper could beat them.
"Sky Breaking Cut!"
After fighting for a long time, the steward's Zhen yuan started to boil. He held his great blade and slashed on one of the Earth Dragons' heads. Swoosh! The head of the Earth Dragon fell off, and the dirty blood spilled everywhere. However, the Earth Dragon did not seem to be affected. Its tail shot out of the ground, which was also filled with sharp teeth.
"Is he really an ungrateful person?" The young woman glanced at Ye Chen secretly. Seeing that he was not doing anything, she could not help but feel a bit disappointed.
Ye Chen had his own plan. These Earth Dragons could not do anything to the experts in the group, and it was only a matter of time. When the time came, he would naturally help out.
