After plundering all the Zhen Yuan crystals, Ye Chen waved his hand, and the mountainous pile of supreme grade spirit stones turned into a flood and flowed into his storage ring.
"Ye Chen, you!"
Black Water Ancestor was furious. The most important thing in the treasury was naturally the thirty million Zhen Yuan crystals, followed closely by the five million supreme grade spirit stones. Although supreme grade spirit stones were not as valuable as Zhen Yuan crystals, Zhen Yuan crystals were, after all, rare commodities. If not for the Devouring Island, it would be impossible for Blackwater Alliance to have so many Zhen Yuan crystals. It could be said that supreme grade spirit stones were the hard currency among the Kings of Elysium.
Ye Chen taking away more than five million supreme grade spirit stones in one go infuriated Black Water Ancestor.
Ye Chen glanced sideways at him and didn't pay any attention to him. Resources had to be fought for by oneself. Ye Chen naturally didn't want to seize the resources of those upright people. However, the Blackwater Alliance was different. If he didn't seize them, Ye Chen would have to work ten times harder to reach the peak.
In this world, only the strong were respected. In fact, any world could only be ruled by the strong. Ye Chen didn't want to change the world. Therefore, he wanted to be the strong of this world.
After taking more than five million supreme grade spirit stones, Ye Chen had more than seven million supreme grade spirit stones on him. Among them, more than a million belonged to the Fire Emperor. He originally had less than one-tenth of the total.
As for the remaining upper grade spirit stones in the Zhen Yuan Crystal Treasury, Ye Chen mercilessly plundered them. He had no use for the upper grade spirit stones, but the Ye family or the martial sect he would establish in the future would be able to use them. If one wanted to continue to prosper, resources would be a necessity. The consumption of resources for a martial sect would be terrifying.
"Worthy of being the Blackwater Alliance! There are more than eight hundred million upper grade spirit stones. Adding the ones I have on me, I have more than a billion." What kind of concept was a billion upper grade spirit stones? It was enough to support a fifth grade sect for countless years. A titled monarch might not use upper grade spirit stones to cultivate, but upon seeing a billion upper grade spirit stones, they would definitely snatch them back.
"Patriarch Black Water, thank you for your hospitality. The grudge between us has been settled. Goodbye."
Ye Chen could not wait to use the Quintessential Crystals to increase his cultivation. As soon as he spoke, he executed the Lunar Path and disappeared from the Quintessential Crystal Treasury. When he reappeared, he was already on the surface of the ocean.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen flew through the air.
"Damn it, damn it, I must kill him."
Ancestor Blackwater roared and cracked the Quintessential Essence Crystal Treasury with a palm strike. Seawater surged in through the cracks.
"Kill him."
Yin Heavenly King was also very aggrieved. He watched helplessly as Ye Chen plundered all the wealth of the Blackwater Alliance. Although this wealth had nothing to do with him, he was envious. He never expected Patriarch Blackwater to have so much wealth.
"Alliance Master, are we going to Golden Turtle Island now?" the Yin Sky King asked.
Patriarch Blackwater took a few deep breaths and said with a gloomy voice, "I want to recover my soul injury first, then go to Golden Turtle Island to discuss the matter of destroying the Ye family and killing Ye Chen."
The soul injury could not be delayed for even a moment. It was related to Patriarch Blackwater's future. Fortunately, the Blackwater Alliance was a big family, and there were still some treasures that could heal soul injuries. As for dealing with Ye Chen, this matter would have to be planned out in the long run. He did not want to teach the latter a lesson and make him spit out all the resources he had swallowed. He wanted to completely kill Ye Chen and destroy the entire Ye family. The men would be killed by a thousand cuts and thrown into the ocean to feed the fish, and the women would all be beaten into slaves.
"Ye Chen is dead for sure this time. Once Golden Turtle Ancestor makes a move, how can he survive?" Yin Sky King seemed to be able to see the scene of Ye Chen's unwillingness to die.
…
Returning to the Ye family in South Rudra Region, Ye Chen immediately went into closed-door training and started refining Zhen yuan crystals to increase his cultivation base.
This was a spacious stone room. The length and width of the room were each more than three hundred feet, and the height was more than ten feet. There were lamps hanging on the walls, and in the center of the room, there was a square stone platform with a navy blue praying mat placed on it.
Sitting on the cushion, Ye Chen rubbed his storage ring with his fingers. Suddenly, a huge amount of Zhen yuan crystals poured out, forming a small hill beside the stone platform.
"I wonder if these thirty million Zhen yuan crystals can reach my saturation limit."
No one could endlessly increase their cultivation base, and it was impossible for Ye Chen. Without a powerful mental state and soul, even if one refined a hundred million Zhen yuan crystals into Zhen yuan, the Zhen yuan would leak out and scatter in the world, which would be a waste of effort. Normally, a Life and Death King who had just entered Life and Death Realm would not have more than one hundred years of cultivation base. Geniuses would not have more than three hundred years of cultivation base. After reaching the saturation limit, one would have to slowly increase the mental state and soul's strength.
For example, if one only had the strength of one hundred jin, but after going through arduous training, it would become one hundred and fifty jin, two hundred jin, and even more. This required a process, and could not be accomplished in one go.
However, Ye Chen not only had a powerful mental state and soul, but his martial art was also a Heaven Realm martial art, which was top-notch in every aspect. This meant that he would be able to bear more cultivation base, but where his limit was, even Ye Chen did not know.
"Begin refining!"
With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred thousand Zhen yuan crystals floated above Ye Chen's head. With the circulation of Green Lotus Sword Arts, a powerful Zhen yuan wrapped around these crystals and rapidly refined them.
After attaining the Undying Body Flesh Derivation realm, Ye Chen's entire body could store Zhen yuan except for the Sea of Soul. Of course, the Dantian could store the most Zhen yuan. Only after reaching the Blood Rebirth realm would the Dantian gradually lose its function and become indistinguishable from the other parts.
One hundred thousand Zhen yuan crystals!
Five hundred thousand Zhen yuan crystals!
Two million Zhen yuan crystals!
Zhen yuan crystals were excessively pure. With just a bit of refining, they could be converted into Zhen yuan. In a short two hours, Ye Chen's cultivation base increased by another fifty years, surpassing three hundred years.
The refining continued.
Three hundred and fifty years of cultivation base.
Four hundred years of cultivation base.
…
Six hundred years of cultivation base!
A horrifying aura filled up the entire stone room. If it were not for the fact that the stone room was covered with a restriction, it would not be able to handle the powerful pressure from Ye Chen's body at all.
Soon, Ye Chen's cultivation base surpassed eight hundred years. It seemed like there was no limit on Ye Chen's body. His cultivation base increased faster and faster, showing no signs of slowing down at all.
Nine hundred years!
One thousand years!
Boom!
The stone room shook slightly. The light on the surface kept flashing. This was a sign that the aura was so powerful that it clashed with the restriction.
One thousand and fifty years!
One thousand and eighty years!
In the end, Ye Chen's cultivation base stopped at one thousand and eighty years. It was not because Ye Chen had reached his limit, but because the thirty million Zhen yuan crystals had been used up.
Whoo!
Opening his eyes, Ye Chen slowly let out a mouthful of turbid Qi. This mouthful of turbid Qi was so powerful that it even melted part of the restriction on the stone room's surface, making a sizzling sound.
"One thousand and eighty years of cultivation base is actually not my limit."
Ye Chen smiled bitterly. Then, he burst out with a heroic spirit.
This meant that he could continue to use external items to raise his cultivation base. With his current cultivation base, although he was still at the bottom among titled monarchs, his potential was limitless. Sooner or later, he would surpass two thousand years, or even three thousand years, and reach the level of the Dragon King.
Creak!
Clenching his fist tightly, Ye Chen felt a volcanic eruption of energy rushing to the center of his fist. The level of one's cultivation base did not have much of an impact on one's battle prowess. However, it did not mean that there was no impact at all. The higher one's cultivation base, the more Zhen yuan each move would contain. Their battle prowess would more or less increase.
At this moment, Ye Chen's battle prowess had reached a whole new level.
"Eh?"
All of a sudden, Ye Chen felt his consciousness becoming clearer. Without using any soul power, he could clearly feel the subtle changes of the heaven and earth, the undulations of the air, the fluctuations of the restriction's power … everything was vivid in his mind. The flowers and grasses outside the stone room were growing tenaciously. When the wind blew through the leaves, it transmitted an imperceptible energy into the room. He could even feel a trace of the undulations in the depths of the earth.
"My cultivation base has suddenly increased by several times, allowing me to experience the changes of this world."
Ye Chen suddenly understood.
Life was like a magnetic field. When one was weak, the magnetic field would be too weak, and the outside world would be hazy. One would need to use the naked eye to see and observe. The spirit body was just a body, and it did not have the advantage of observing the outside world. On the other hand, cultivation base was what a person had the most contact with the outside world. This was because cultivation base was transformed from the Yuan Qi of the world, and it was the bridge between humans and the world. A thousand years of cultivation base could be said to be a checkpoint for Life and Death Kings. After crossing it, a whole new world would appear before Ye Chen's eyes.
"Defensive Sword Art!"
Pensive, Ye Chen's thoughts moved, and the Sky Scorpio Sword floated out, splitting into three, then sixty, sixty-two, sixty-four, sixty-six.
Unknowingly, Ye Chen's Defensive Sword Art had already surpassed the level of sixty-four swords, and he could already use the Eight Trigrams Extermination Sword Art.
Apart from this, Ye Chen could clearly feel that his soul's strength was increasing.
The amount of soul didn't change, but the soul's strength increased. This was a qualitative improvement.
For example, although the soul of Yuan Emperor's doppelganger was not much, its quality was too frightening. It could use a powerful soul attack like Primordial Spirit Lock to obliterate the opponent's soul source. On the other hand, Ye Chen's soul attack could only injure the opponent's soul.
Among Life and Death Kings, there were strong and weak souls. The increase in quantity was very slow, but the increase in quality could be a bit faster. The strengthening of the soul was closely related to the increase in cultivation base. After each saturation, the process of breaking through the limit was also the process of the soul strengthening. If the soul didn't strengthen, how could it bear more cultivation base?
Of course, Ye Chen was an exception. He hadn't reached the saturation limit, but because his cultivation base had suddenly increased from two hundred years to one thousand years, the improvement was too huge, causing a change in his soul. Before, Ye Chen's soul hadn't been completely aroused. Just like the majority of people's brains, some people were smart because their brains were developed to a high degree.
