King of Creation
Chapter 940: Chapter 926: Martial Arts Foundation Establishment
"Brother, if you have time, come visit me in the Immortal Light Mountain Secret Realm. Remember to bring wine! Bring a lot!"
Under Hu Qingtong’s cold snort and threatening gaze, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba only managed to say this before following Hu Qingtong away, looking pitiful.
Ye Zhen really couldn’t understand how a terrifyingly powerful existence like the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba could be subdued so obediently by a woman like Hu Qingtong.
It was just like being domesticated.
However, what intrigued Ye Zhen even more was the attitude of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba, who seemed to want to say something to him, but every time, Hu Qingtong interrupted or stopped him.
This was something Ye Zhen couldn’t quite comprehend.
Could it be that the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba wanted to make some shameless request, like getting a few female monkeys or something? Other than that, Ye Zhen couldn’t figure out what the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba wanted to express.
After all, there hadn’t been much interaction between Ye Zhen and the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba, nor were there any secrets to speak of!
At the moment, Ye Zhen didn’t pay it any mind, planning to visit the Devil God Palace in the Immortal Light Mountain Secret Realm to chat with the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba when he had the time.
What Ye Zhen didn’t expect was that his neglect this time would be something he’d deeply regret for a long time to come!
After seeing off the guests, Ye Zhen told Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong and headed towards the Silent Chamber of his courtyard, deliberately avoiding Fengh Qingyue.
The appearance of Hu Qingtong stirred memories that both Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue had long forgotten, making Ye Zhen feel that the relationship between men and women might be the most difficult relationship to handle in the world.
Ye Zhen understood why Hu Qingtong was so cold to him.
Back then, after he and Hu Qingtong had just been intimate in that ill-fated hall, Fengh Qingyue showed up, and Ye Zhen hesitated for just a moment before he got up and chased after her.
At the time, Ye Zhen didn’t think much of it, but in hindsight, he realized how deeply it must have hurt Hu Qingtong; only Hu Qingtong herself could truly know.
But the problem is, what would have been the right choice at that moment?
If Ye Zhen hadn’t chased after her, what would have happened to Fengh Qingyue?
This was an unsolvable dilemma and is the reason Hu Qingtong is now so distant from Ye Zhen.
Seeing Hu Qingtong, Fengh Qingyue naturally remembered the past. Although she didn’t ask, Ye Zhen understood it was better to avoid the awkwardness.
Originally, just after the three major forces had decided on the outcome, it was a busy time for the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, so Ye Zhen also took the initiative to avoid it.
Given Ye Zhen’s experience in commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, handling these trivial matters was no challenge, but since Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong was there to handle it, why should Ye Zhen waste his time?
As for using the opportunity to gain benefits or even seize some control over the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Ye Zhen had seen through it.
Sometimes, absolute strength is still needed to speak for oneself.
Just like Yan Wuji, if he didn’t have the Ninth Stage of the Establishment Realm cultivation, how could he have managed to disrupt the union of the three major forces?
In the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, it would not be ideal for Ye Zhen to interfere too much.
All remaining trivial matters and expansion plans would be left to Jian Qianxiong to deal with. Ye Zhen was happy to enjoy his leisure!
Under normal circumstances, there was no longer much suspense in Ye Zhen taking over the Sun and Moon Divine Sect in the future.
Not only because of his relationship with Fengh Qingyue, but during both the Red Fire Martial City battle and the recent siege by the three allied forces, Ye Zhen’s personal prestige within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect had reached its peak.
Especially this time, dealing with the three allied forces, the members of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect witnessed Ye Zhen’s abilities firsthand; the reinforcements he invited nearly dominated the battle.
If anyone within the sect truly wished to replace Ye Zhen, it would probably be a hopeless dream.
Although Ye Zhen didn’t interfere much, his influence within the sect was still considerable.
Not to mention his loyal forces from Red Fire Martial City, the presence of the Illusion Formation King Chen Chi and Ice Fiend King Luo Zhu, these two formidable figures kept everyone in line without a word of dissent.
Moreover, as time went on, the recovering Beast Taming Sect could already be put to use.
What Ye Zhen needed to do now was to focus all his efforts on improving his cultivation.
Speaking of cultivation, there was a matter that frustrated Ye Zhen.
Over the past six months, thanks to some rare opportunities, Ye Zhen had consecutively added two martial veins, elevating his innate bloodline from four veins to six veins in just half a year!
Moreover, these six innate bloodlines were exceptionally powerful, nearly twice as strong as those of ordinary martial artists.
In this respect, Ye Zhen’s six-vein innate bloodline’s talent was almost equivalent to the twelve-vein innate bloodline of an ordinary martial artist, making his cultivation speed one or two percent faster than the exceedingly rare ten complete heavenly veins.
Ye Zhen was very satisfied with this, but the problem was, since obtaining these two innate bloodlines, his cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm!
In the Vein Forging Realm, one must forge martial veins to advance in cultivation.
Logically, the Divine Skills and Martial Skills in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect were plentiful, with several heavenly-level options, leaving Ye Zhen with many choices.
But the problem was, none of them appealed to Ye Zhen!
The Divine Skills and Martial Skills currently in Ye Zhen’s possession, or the various secret techniques and methods provided by the Mirage Dragon Pearl, were all so extraordinary that to any sect, they would be considered masterful arts.
Ye Zhen’s tastes have become refined, and those ordinary martial skills naturally don’t interest him anymore, not even the Heavenly Level High Grade divine martial skills of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
Originally, Ye Zhen had the idea of choosing a Heavenly Level High Grade divine martial skill to make do with.
But after obtaining the martial arts inheritance of the Earth Core Fire Commander, that makeshift idea completely vanished, and this is a significant reason why Ye Zhen hasn’t forged his veins in such a long time.
In the martial arts inheritance of the Earth Core Fire Commander, a key point was emphasized—Foundation Building!
Even though on the True Profound Continent, martial artist levels are divided in so many ways, and all sorts of strong individuals enjoy themselves so much, the truth is that cultivation before the Dao Entrance Realm is all about laying the foundation for one’s future martial path!
To be precise, everything before a martial artist’s cultivation breaks through to the Establishment Realm is primarily about laying the foundation for future martial arts development, and especially the Vein Forging Realm, which is exceedingly important.
One could say it’s the most crucial part of martial arts foundation building!
The martial veins forged by martial artists during the Vein Forging Realm become the most crucial vein support for opening the establishment when breaking through to the Establishment Realm later.
Currently, on the True Profound Continent, martial artists forging their veins are basically just randomly forging whatever has the most power without considering the future, but in ancient times, vein forging had many theories.
For example, the Six Profound Fire Mansion, or the Seven Mysterious Fire Mansion, or even the Nine Profound Fire Mansion, where a martial artist forges all their innate bloodlines into fire element divine power martial skill veins.
After breaking through to the Establishment Realm, one would develop unique mansions according to the number of veins, like the Six Profound Fire Mansion or Seven Mysterious Fire Mansion. The most crucial role of these Seven Mysterious Fire Mansions is that those who possess them, if they continue cultivating fire element techniques, will experience a strong boost and enhancement whether in cultivation or in combat.
The higher the number, the greater the enhancement!
According to the Earth Core Fire Commander, a common example of someone with the Seven Mysterious Fire Mansion, when unleashing a Heavenly Level Lower Grade heavenly fire, after the Seven Mysterious Fire Mansion’s enhancement, it’s power could actually compare to Heavenly Level Middle Grade heavenly fire!
Someone with the Eight Profound Fire Mansion could even allow Heavenly Level High Grade heavenly fire to unleash power not weaker than Low Grade Heavenly Spirit fire!
The Earth Core Fire Commander back in the day was quite a rare Eight Profound Fire Mansion holder.
This is the reason why Ye Zhen has not forged his veins recently.
Because there are countless spiritual palaces like the Six Harmonies Earth Mansion, Seven Gold Mansion, Five Disks Water Mansion, and even some Five Elements Birth and Control spiritual palaces.
For instance, the Golden Water Spirit Palace and Wood-Fire Spirit Mansion, etc.
What Ye Zhen has been contemplating the most recently is which choices to make in his martial arts foundation building for vein forging!
Ye Zhen’s Five Elements of the First Sword Vein is gold, the second Black Dragon Bloodline is unclear, possibly water or all elements, still needs verification.
The third Earth Primordial Palm Vein is solidly an Earth Meridian, and the fourth Xuan Fire Spirit Vein is fire attribute, that’s naturally beyond question!
Normally, Ye Zhen’s current vein forging method, in ancient times, would be considered wasted.
Moreover, over eighty percent of the martial artists on the True Profound Continent are practicing randomly like Ye Zhen did before, completely unaware of this point.
However, now that Ye Zhen knows, he needs to consider it carefully.
The Earth Core Fire Commander’s Eight Profound Fire Mansion is most suitable for Ye Zhen. At least he should train a Six Profound Fire Mansion, which greatly enhances the Fire Spirit Power he cultivates.
But now that various spirit veins have already been forged, if only one vein were trained incorrectly, it might be possible to re-train even at the cost of great primordial energy injury, but with three veins already not being fire veins, re-forging would be akin to self-abolition of martial arts.
Moreover, the unfinished Black Dragon Martial Meridians cannot be discarded even if Ye Zhen wants to.
After studying the martial arts inheritance of the Earth Core Fire Commander for a while, Ye Zhen finally identified a suitable spiritual palace plan.
That is the Five Elements Yin-Yang Spiritual Mansion.
When cultivating the Five Elements Yin-Yang Spiritual Mansion, the transformations are diverse; if one has five veins of innate bloodline, they can cultivate Five Elements Spirit Palace, with six veins they can cultivate Five Elements Great Sun Profound Mansion, with seven veins they can cultivate Five Elements Yin-Yang Spiritual Mansion, and so forth.
The most notable feature of the Five Elements Spirit Palace is that once the cultivation is successful, the Five Elements operate perpetually, allowing for uninhibited cultivation of any technique, and a more stable mansion with more abundant spiritual power than ordinary people.
Using the Five Elements Birth and Control can also enhance spiritual power, but compared to the Seven Mysterious Fire Mansion, that level of enhancement is much less.
However, since Ye Zhen previously had no proper mentor, now that he does, it’s too late, and he can only choose the option most suited to himself, which is still better than practicing randomly.
The most basic Five Elements Spirit Palace consists of the five veins: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Ye Zhen currently possesses three divine power martial veins of gold, fire, and earth, lacking the water and wood divine power martial veins.
Unfortunately, these types of divine power martial techniques are the rarest. The Sun and Moon Divine Sect does possess some, but of too low Grade, Ye Zhen is not interested.
Thus, even with the addition of two new innate bloodlines, Ye Zhen can only wait like this.
Ye Zhen plans to look for suitable divine power martial techniques for cultivation after the Sun and Moon Divine Sect matters are resolved; this foundation for vein forging and establishment must not be neglected.
So, Ye Zhen’s current cultivation can only temporarily remain stuck at the Peak of Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm.
However, while the spiritual power is limited to the Peak of Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, the advancement of divine soul cultivation has fewer restrictions.
Especially since Ye Zhen today captured several innate soul lights from the Establishment Realm in the great battle, which can now be refined to enhance divine soul cultivation.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen immediately recalled one thing.
Soul Artifact!
He has gained a soul artifact today! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
