King of Creation
Chapter 1151: Chapter 1136: The Powers of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion
After two hours, Gai Jun, Huang Tan, Ou Tu, Ning Shiyi, and Yan Wudi gathered in the sky above Star Island, ready to set off.
The five did not depart immediately. Instead, the former Tower Chief Gai Jun opened a Spirit Beast Bag, and then Huang Tan, Ou Tu, Ning Shiyi, and Yan Wudi entered one after another.
In the next instant, a dazzling Spirit Light erupted from Gai Jun’s body, reaching an extreme speed in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the vast sky.
Ye Zhen, hidden in the underground river beneath Star Island, smiled slightly at this sight. Judging from the Spiritual Power wave from Gai Jun when he left, Gai Jun was flying at full strength without regard for consumption, and the speed burst at that moment was so fast that even the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten could not catch up.
This flying state, though extremely fast, was greatly consuming and could not be sustained.
Just from this, Ye Zhen understood the way Gai Jun and the others traveled. It seemed that, even if they tried their best, these five people would arrive before the time Ye Zhen had stipulated.
However, Ye Zhen did not leave immediately but continued to stay hidden beneath Star Island, spreading out his Divine Sense, monitoring the Establishment Kings on Star Island.
Ye Zhen was no longer a rookie just starting out. He had considered many possibilities, especially since he hadn’t gotten any information when the current five bigwigs of Stars Tower secretly discussed before.
If Ye Zhen set off early and Stars Tower secretly took action again, plotting against Black Dragon Domain, Ye Zhen would be devastated.
Although Black Dragon Domain had made some arrangements, if a large number of Establishment Kings attacked, it would really be unstoppable.
At the same time, Ye Zhen had another reason for not moving — if he went out rashly, what if the five bigwigs of Stars Tower turned back again?
So Ye Zhen stayed quietly on the bank of the underground river, cultivating.
As for the time to reach Phoenix Tail Island, what did that have to do with Ye Zhen?
The time limit was set for the people of Stars Tower; it had nothing to do with Ye Zhen. He could go whenever he wanted, holding the initiative in his hands.
If Stars Tower dared to have an opinion, well, how about sending you a few of your grandchildren’s legs?
With leverage in hand, Ye Zhen could be this domineering.
The martial artists left on the island seemed very honest and were obediently engaging in the reconstruction of Star Island.
Under the leadership of Grand Elder Gai Zhishi from Stars Tower, a group of array masters were doing something that made Ye Zhen’s pupils shrink.
These people were setting up a Five Elements Formation in the important residences within the five mansions on Star Island at great expense of Attribute Spirit Crystals.
Clearly, this Five Elements Formation was aimed at Ye Zhen’s Earth Escape Divine Ability.
Once this Five Elements Formation was completed, Ye Zhen’s Earth Escape Divine Ability would no longer allow him to move freely on Star Island.
This should be Stars Tower’s response to Ye Zhen’s threat.
After pondering, Ye Zhen abandoned the idea of killing these array masters.
With the foundation of Stars Tower, even if Ye Zhen eliminated a batch of array masters, they could immediately summon another batch to set up these key Five Elements Formations eventually.
Moreover, if Ye Zhen acted now, he’d be breaking the rules.
Although Ye Zhen currently held Stars Tower’s sore spot, and even if he broke the rules, Stars Tower would not dare say a word.
But at this moment, Ye Zhen did not want to cause more trouble.
This time, Ye Zhen refrained from a massacre and instead took those captured Stars Tower’s Young Tower Chiefs and candidate heirs as hostages.
The most important reason was Ye Zhen wanted to buy time.
As long as Ye Zhen secured a certain buffer time, once his Cultivation reached a higher level, he would come back to completely destroy Stars Tower.
Right now, there was no need to be too extreme!
Ye Zhen had everything ready, only lacking Cultivation. Once his Cultivation improved, his combat power would soar.
Moreover, for other martial artists, reaching the Establishment Realm was a life-and-death ordeal.
If they failed to establish, it might take seven or eight years or even decades of accumulation to attempt establishing again.
However, Ye Zhen had the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill.
Ye Zhen had been on the move at sea for the past six months but hadn’t relaxed on Cultivation for even a day. His Cultivation had already risen from the late Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm to the peak of the late Seventh Stage.
The seven Martial Veins for Ye Zhen’s long-planned Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion were now fully gathered. As long as Ye Zhen had time, he could establish a manor anytime.
At this thought, Ye Zhen’s heart flickered: why not seize this time for establishment?
According to Ye Zhen’s plan, he intended to monitor Star Island’s movements from underground for at least three days, and this surveillance task could entirely be handed over to the Little Demon.
Rather than wasting time, he might as well use this opportunity to break through to the Establishment Realm.
As for safety, this underground river wasn’t accessible to ordinary people, and Ye Zhen had two strong protectors, Little Demon and Kitten, by his side; safety should not be a problem.
Even so, out of caution, Ye Zhen laid several low-level talisman formations near the underground river.
Guardian Talisman Formation, Lost Path Talisman Formation, etc.
After ensuring everything was perfect, Ye Zhen instructed Little Demon to monitor the movement of Star Island well and began meditating to adjust his breathing.
This meditation lasted for a whole day and night.
Before breaking through to the Establishment Realm, Ye Zhen had to restore both internal and external states to their peaks for a successful breakthrough.
According to Shuili Dan King’s teachings, although the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill could assist martial artists in establishing, there were also cases of failure.
Therefore, the more thorough the preparation, the better.
After a day, Ye Zhen slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of red glimmer passed quickly through his eyes.
The eyes are the reflection of the soul; the brilliance of the eyes testified that Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power was restored to its peak.
Ye Zhen did not rush to swallow the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, but first reviewed several times the Cultivation Technique in the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture for breaking through to the Establishment Realm and carefully studied the cautions left in the cultivation notes by Earth Core Fire Commander regarding the establishment.
"I should be able to succeed in one try...."
Murmuring a bit, Ye Zhen swallowed the egg-sized, brownish Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill in one gulp.
As the pill’s power slowly dissolved, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense moved, starting to operate the opening Cultivation Technique from the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture within his body.
To establish means to open a whole new Dantian within the Soul Sea, and upon fusion, to manifest Martial Veins, condensing pillars into a Spirit Palace for the martial artist.
Since it involves creating a new Spiritual Power Dantian within the Soul Sea, the process itself is extremely dangerous and requires high control over Divine Soul Power.
Most importantly, it demands a massive amount of Divine Soul Power and Spiritual Power to succeed in establishing.
Following the method in the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, Ye Zhen first used Divine Soul Power to forcefully open a pin-sized space within his Soul Sea.
This was very easy for Ye Zhen, whose Divine Soul Power was strong, but the next step, when he urged Spiritual Power to fill that pin-sized space, his expression changed abruptly, becoming somewhat unpleasant.
The moment spiritual power entered, it immediately emitted a creaking sound of compression, and the tiny wisp of pure power Ye Zhen had just delivered was instantly obliterated by terrifying divine soul power.
Ye Zhen continued to deliver, and the spiritual power continued to be obliterated.
Ye Zhen instantly realized the issue.
Divine soul power!
His success and failure were both tied to divine soul power.
Because Ye Zhen had to establish a spiritual power dantian within the soul sea, his soul sea was composed purely of the powerful four-colored innate soul light.
The four-colored innate soul light had previously established Ye Zhen’s renown, but now, the challenge of setting up the establishment had suddenly multiplied several times or even ten times.
This made Ye Zhen’s face turn somewhat grim.
But just at this moment, the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill he just swallowed erupted with an extremely pure spiritual power, directly rushing towards the divine soul channel Ye Zhen had just established.
It was like a flood discharge; the power passing through in that instant caused a stinging sensation in Ye Zhen’s meridians.
However, the effect was extremely significant too.
This flood-like spiritual power rushed into Ye Zhen’s soul sea, expanding the size of the needlepoint space pressed by the four-colored innate soul light several times over.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Zhen frantically activated spiritual power while also crazily mobilizing divine soul power to expand the spiritual power dantian in the soul sea.
A tug-of-war began.
However, as the establishment dantian grew larger, the counter-pressure from the four-colored innate soul light became increasingly terrifying.
One day later, veins on Ye Zhen’s forehead throbbed wildly, and beads of sweat dripped continuously from his forehead; the spiritual power dantian he had barely opened halfway was on the brink of collapse.
At this critical moment, Ye Zhen inwardly viewed his soul sea and looked at the two pillars standing within it; his heart suddenly moved.
Under normal circumstances, only those who break through to the Vein Forging realm can transform martial veins into spirit pillars. However, under chance circumstances, Ye Zhen’s sword heart enlightenment sword vein and black dragon martial vein had already early on transformed into spirit pillars.
As recorded in the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, spirit pillars are fundamentally essential for suppressing and stabilizing the spirit palace.
Since Ye Zhen already has spirit pillars, why not use them?
With a thought, the two spirit pillars in Ye Zhen’s soul sea suddenly rose from the soul sea and directly entered the spiritual power dantian Ye Zhen had just established halfway.
As they landed, the two spirit pillars were surrounded by golden sword light, and one faintly had the phantom of a black dragon coiled around it as if releasing boundless power.
Instantly, the violently trembling spiritual power dantian stabilized, and the pressure coming from all directions of the soul sea was dramatically reduced.
Supported by the unending spiritual power within Ye Zhen’s body and the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, the spiritual power dantian in Ye Zhen’s soul sea began expanding rapidly.
At this point, Ye Zhen finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As long as he passes this hurdle, his establishment will be mostly accomplished.
However, thinking back, Ye Zhen was still scared; he hadn’t anticipated that the strong four-colored innate soul light would pose such a formidable challenge for this breakthrough.
If it weren’t for the two spirit pillars formed early by chance, Ye Zhen might not have been able to easily establish the spirit palace even with the assistance of the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill today.
For ordinary martial artists, there are two major challenges to breaking through to the spirit palace realm: the first is to use spiritual power to establish the spirit palace in the soul sea; the second is to condense the martial vein into spirit pillars using divine soul power to suppress the spirit palace.
The first hurdle had already been overcome by Ye Zhen, fraught with danger.
However, the second challenge is more perilous for ordinary martial artists than the first, but for Ye Zhen’s four-colored innate soul light, it was incredibly easy, like eating or drinking water.
The only unexpected issue was when transforming the Yimu Spiritual Vein into a spirit pillar to suppress the spirit palace; the little demon had a slight incident.
Unbeknownst, the little demon crazily absorbed the pure divine soul power sent by Ye Zhen, almost scaring him witless.
Without success in this effort, where would he find another Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill?
Moreover, once the breakthrough fails, the backlash could range from severe injury to death.
Fortunately, Ye Zhen reacted quickly, and three moments later, a vibrant green spirit pillar stood within Ye Zhen’s spirit palace.
Amusingly, there seemed to be a lurking tree silhouette within the green spirit pillar popping out its head and peeking around.
Yet, Ye Zhen was delighted with the various incomplete dao patterns mixed with the little demon on the vibrant green spirit pillar.
Thanks to the foundational dao patterns brought by the little demon, Ye Zhen’s future cultivation in comprehending dao patterns should be much easier.
Establishing the spirit palace is extremely time-consuming; by the time Ye Zhen managed, it had been four nights and four days.
On the fourth morning, when the Thunder Vein within Ye Zhen’s dantian turned into a Thunder Pillar and entered the spirit palace, the pressure from all directions of the spirit palace suddenly vanished.
Countless four-colored innate soul lights began floating into Ye Zhen’s spirit palace like visiting guests, merging with the seven spirit pillars within him, a deeply indescribable feeling suddenly rose from Ye Zhen’s heart.
The establishment of the spirit palace was successful!
He had broken through to the establishment realm!
Just as Ye Zhen’s divine sense sunk in, intending to understand the inner and outer changes after breaking through, his mind suddenly moved, and his divine sense dropped into the spiritual power dantian suppressed by the seven spirit pillars.
The seven spirit pillars were like heavenly pillars, and the spiritual power dantian appeared like the foundation buried beneath the heavenly pillars; at this moment, an indescribable mysterious feeling flowed between the seven pillars.
At a glance, the seven pillars seemed almost like a single entity, with interlinked and flowing aura.
However, upon carefully examining the spiritual power dantian, one would discover the mysteriousness of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion.
Within the dantian, the seven spirit pillars communicate via the Five Elements, coexisting through Yin and Yang. A wisp of spiritual power streamed from the First Sword Vein, directly rushing towards the Black Dragon Spirit Meridians, and had already grown stronger by a circle.
A hair-thin strand of spiritual power, after circling through the five spirit pillars, had increased several-fold.
This should be one of the powers of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion—endless life-generating spiritual power!
Because in just about a session’s time, the spiritual power dantian that Ye Zhen had completely depleted while establishing had recovered half of its spiritual power.
Note, it automatically recovered half.
Under normal circumstances, if Ye Zhen’s internal spiritual power was exhausted, if he didn’t absorb the Heaven and Earth primordial qi or consume pills to refine spirit crystals, he could not recover even a bit.
However, within the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion, under the mutual generation of the Five Elements and the Yin-Yang complementarity, as long as even a wisp of spiritual power remains, it can slowly recover.
A session to recover nearly half of the spiritual power—that speed isn’t slow.
From now on, when Ye Zhen flies swiftly in the air, he won’t need to hold high-grade spirit crystals to refine as he flies.
And this is merely the most basic power of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion!
Suddenly excited, thinking about the other powers of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but feel eager to explore!
