After an hour, when Ye Zhen internalized his perception of the sixth innate bloodline within his body, now turned pitch black with inner thunder flashing and thunder snakes crackling, he still felt as if he were in a dream!
In just an hour, a martial vein was forged!
Moreover, this martial vein forged within an hour, from the moment it was created, contained thunder spirit power at its peak state!
Without needing Ye Zhen to cultivate, this sixth thunder vein was already brimming full.
According to Ye Zhen’s observations, it seemed to have directly devoured the thunder pillars from within the Thunder Saint’s spiritual palace and his previous thunder vein.
This caused Ye Zhen’s cultivation to leap directly by one stage!
Ye Zhen’s cultivation rose directly from the early stage of the Fifth Stage of Vein Forging Realm to the early stage of the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm!
And all these changes happened within merely an hour!
The pure thunder spirit power the Thunder Saint had cultivated over countless years now completely belonged to Ye Zhen from this moment.
With a thought, the Thunder Light Pearl rooted within Ye Zhen’s thunder vein suddenly flew up, hovering above Ye Zhen’s head.
With a slight urging of divine sense, a thunderclap of water-bucket thickness flew out from the Thunder Light Pearl, crashing onto the invisible spatial barrier opposite Ye Zhen.
After sizzling for a few moments, the thunder light immediately disappeared!
Henceforth, this Thunder Light Pearl completely belonged to Ye Zhen, and the thunder essence Dao patterns within it were imprinted with Ye Zhen’s divine soul imprint.
As for the Thunder Saint’s divine soul imprint?
When people die, their imprint extinguishes like a lamp; when he died, the Thunder Saint’s soul imprint dissipated as well.
As to when the Thunder Saint died, Ye Zhen was not sure.
Anyway, by the time Ye Zhen woke up, the Thunder Saint was already dead, deathly pale with dry blood at every orifice, like a fearsome ghost!
Of course, Ye Zhen could roughly surmise the cause of the Thunder Saint’s death.
He should have died when the Thunder Light Pearl extracted a supporting spirit pillar from his body, causing the collapse and death of his spiritual palace!
Anyway, when Ye Zhen woke up, even the innate divine soul of the Thunder Saint had already dissipated.
The only trouble now is, although Ye Zhen unexpectedly forged this thunder vein, how to activate it and how to wield the power within it was completely unknown to Ye Zhen.
However, this wasn’t difficult. With the origin Dao patterns inside the Thunder Light Pearl, even if Ye Zhen couldn’t comprehend the Dao patterns now, deducing some methods to manipulate the thunder spirit power wasn’t hard.
Because, at the very least, Ye Zhen could use the Thunder Light Pearl to mobilize the power within the thunder vein or so.
What surprised Ye Zhen even more was that when he used the Thunder Light Pearl to deploy the previous Heavenly Thunder of Fright, its might could be significantly amplified!
Unfortunately, this was only Ye Zhen’s intuition; here, there was nothing for Ye Zhen to test its might on.
At the same time, this is the greatest advantage of an acquired spiritual treasure!
For more powerful soul artifacts and suppressing devices, martial artists must possess corresponding cultivations to activate them.
Like the Mid-grade Soul Device Longevity Banner, Ye Zhen couldn’t activate it at all right now; when Sect Hierarch Yin Changsheng of the once-Fifth Stage Establishment Realm tried to use it, he nearly became a dry corpse!
But acquired spiritual treasures are different!
Once marked with a divine soul imprint, even a martial artist at the Spirit Transformation Realm can activate them!
Their power will increase as the martial artist’s cultivation advances.
The stronger the martial artist’s cultivation, the greater the power that can be unleashed!
Most importantly, the thunder essence Dao pattern inside the Thunder Light Pearl, when attacking, provides an unimaginable enhancement to thunder element power.
The Thunder Light Pearl changes each thunder element power that passes through it, transforming decay into magic.
Every thunder elemental attack emitted through the Thunder Light Pearl is instinctively influenced and altered by that thunder essence Dao pattern in the process of entering and leaving the pearl!
Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright was altered when released using the Thunder Light Pearl.
It’s just that Ye Zhen wasn’t sure how great this change was!
As for why a situation where a martial vein can be seized arose, Ye Zhen contemplated for a long time without figuring it out.
In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it, primarily because Ye Zhen had too little understanding of acquired spiritual treasures. However, Ye Zhen could be sure it had something to do with the Thunder Light Pearl’s status as an acquired spiritual treasure.
The unexpected forging of a vein, bringing along a direct uplift in cultivation level, put Ye Zhen in high spirits; he suddenly stood up and had a big stretch.
"Now that six veins are formed, once the cultivation breaks through to the peak of the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, I must slowly prepare for establishment....."
At the thought of ’establishment,’ Ye Zhen’s complexion suddenly changed dramatically.
The joy from just moments ago turned into a wry smile in an instant.
It was only now that Ye Zhen remembered another crucial issue!
He was fortunate to have forged such a powerful Thunder Vein, but it also disrupted Ye Zhen’s Foundation Plan!
Ye Zhen’s Foundation Plan was to form the Five Elements Spirit Palace, supplemented with any of the Yin-Yang elements, which could greatly enhance his Spirit Palace’s power, allowing his Spiritual Power to be self-sustaining.
Previously, the first Sword Vein Ye Zhen forged was a Golden Vein, the Black Dragon Martial Vein was a Water Vein, the Earth Primordial Palm Vein was an Earth Vein, the Xuan Fire Spirit Vein was a Fire Vein, and the Mirage Martial Meridian was a Yin Vein.
Among the Six Veins, five had been forged, and the remaining one had to be a Wood Vein to complete the Foundation Plan and achieve the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Palace.
But now, unexpectedly forging a Thunder Vein, his body had no extra Martial Vein, yet it disrupted Ye Zhen’s plan.
The Thunder Vein belongs to Yang, which supplemented the Yang Meridian in the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Palace. Still, among the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Palace, the Five Elements are fundamental, the Yang Meridian can be lacking, but the Wood Vein absolutely cannot be missing!
In other words, with Ye Zhen unexpectedly forging a Thunder Vein, Ye Zhen’s Foundation Plan was thus ruined!
"Is this me going too far, or just bad luck?"
Ye Zhen chuckled bitterly for a few moments, and his expression suddenly turned incomparably resolute, "No, I still have a chance!"
"With no extra Martial Vein in my body, I can find a way to increase my Innate Bloodline again; my Spirit Palace must not be wasted!"
"The Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, it seems, I must get my hands on that Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill from Shuili Island!
Only by obtaining this Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill can I add another vein to forge a perfect Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Palace!"
All the encounters during more than a month of adventure in the Outer Domain Dead Sea, especially being pursued by the Dragon Alliance, decreased Ye Zhen’s confidence in obtaining the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill more and more.
Originally, he had the idea in mind to do his best and not risk his life unnecessarily; the difference of one vein wasn’t too significant!
But now, this matter must be achieved.
Without that Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, Ye Zhen’s planned Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Palace would be utterly ruined, affecting Ye Zhen’s combat power after the Establishment Realm and even future potential, so there could be no carelessness.
However, before that, Ye Zhen needed to find a way to leave this Alternate Space Secret Realm and go to Shuili Island to possibly obtain the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill.
"Who knows what is in this Alternate Space Secret Realm that could make so many mighty ones come to fight for it?" As this thought crossed his mind, Ye Zhen became eager to explore.
But when Ye Zhen’s gaze swept over his severed arm, he began to smile wryly.
Before exploring, Ye Zhen’s first priority was healing!
Among martial artists, there’s a saying—before you explore the unknown, it’s best to restore yourself to your peak state; otherwise, you might send yourself to death!
Losing a right arm significantly affected Ye Zhen’s combat power.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the Xuan Fire Drill, with both hands, Ye Zhen could simultaneously unleash two Xuan Fire Drills, and even use the Earth Primordial Palm Vein for defense with one hand and attack with the Xuan Fire Drill with the other.
But without his right arm, none of that was possible!
Ye Zhen needed to regenerate his severed arm in the shortest possible time.
Normally, regenerating a severed arm is quite challenging; even kings in the Establishment Realm would require special medicines or extremely unique Cultivation Techniques to regenerate a severed limb.
Only after a martial artist has tempered their body into an Innate Battle Body, like Ye Zhen, who has yet to master the Innate Fire Spirit Battle Body, could he regenerate any part of the body quickly, including the Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, as long as he has enough Spiritual Power after successful cultivation.
However, the Innate Battle Body is typically only possible for martial artists at the Dao Entrance Realm to temper; Ye Zhen currently doesn’t have that possibility.
Under normal circumstances, martial artists like Ye Zhen can only rely on the medicinal power of Spirit Pills like the Essence Blood Reconstitution Pill and cooperate with internal Spiritual Power to promote severed limb regeneration.
But the problem is, Essence Blood Reconstitution Pills are extremely rare, with only two in the entire Sun and Moon Divine Sect reserve, only obtainable by martial artists who have made great contributions to the Divine Sect.
Of course, if Ye Zhen were in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, obtaining an Essence Blood Reconstitution Pill would be without question, but the problem is Ye Zhen is currently in the Outer Domain Dead Sea.
If it were other martial artists, they would surely have no choice but to temporarily keep the severed arm status, but Ye Zhen is different.
Because Ye Zhen has a Longevity Sect’s Church Treasure, the Longevity Banner!
Although the Longevity Banner cannot condense healing holy water like the Longevity Sect’s Longevity Gathering Source Bowl, the Longevity Banner inherently contains two completely different forces of life and death!
The black death silence power within the Longevity Banner is incredibly sharp, capable of harming the origin and taking lives, but the green vitality power in the Longevity Banner can bring the dead back to life and flesh out bones!
Ye Zhen assumed that this is the origin of the Longevity Banner’s name, and most importantly, using the green vitality power in the Longevity Banner is not energy-consuming!
Ye Zhen couldn’t activate the black death silence power in the Longevity Banner, but he could activate the green vitality power, which was one of Ye Zhen’s essential confidence elements in exploring the Outer Domain Dead Sea!
However, before activating the green vitality power in the Longevity Banner for healing, Ye Zhen first headed towards the now-deceased Thunder Saint and casually took off the Thunder Saint’s storage ring.
