Chapter 512: Advancing to the Late Stage of Void Refining
"Although the Thunder Continent has abundant resources, the competition is also really cruel. Even a super clan like the Jiao Chi Clan has to form an alliance with the Sea King Clan to protect themselves. In comparison, the various clans in the Fengyuan Continent are too harmonious!"
"No wonder these cultivators from the big clans on the Leiming Continent all look contemptuous when mentioning the Fengyuan Continent. The overall strength of the two sides is really incomparable!" Ye Changsheng thought secretly in his heart.
He sighed lightly, and walked forward quickly according to the map in the identity token. He crossed the streets and soon arrived in front of a high mountain.
This mountain is more than three thousand feet high, covered with emerald green. At the same time, a pure spiritual energy blows towards you. Such amazing spiritual energy obviously indicates that this mountain contains a top-grade spiritual vein.
Ye Changsheng looked around and saw seven other mountains of the same size nearby.
This is the famous "Yakumo Mountain" in Yuncheng!
The so-called Eight Cloud Mountains are said to have been moved by several powerful beings in Yuncheng a long time ago who used mysterious means to forcibly move eight mountains on the ground to Yuncheng.
In addition, they captured eight top-grade spiritual veins from other places and brought them into the mountain, thus forming the spiritually-filled holy land of practice that we have today!
These eight sacred mountains are also the only sacred places in Yuncheng where people can live for a long time and practice cultivation. There are many caves of various sizes on them.
These caves are not owned by any one person, but are all rented out. Of course, the rental period of these caves is hundreds of years, and the cost is astonishingly high.
But even so, most of the caves on Mount Yakumo have been rented out, and sometimes there is even a situation where supply cannot meet demand.
Ye Changsheng took the identity token, looked at the logo inside, smiled faintly, and walked forward.
Not long after, he appeared in front of a remote cliff on the mountainside, where there was a stone door several meters high embedded in the cliff.
Ye Changsheng shook his sleeves, and a token flew out and sank into the stone wall.
Then, the stone door creaked open and Ye Changsheng stepped in.
This was a cave he had rented for three hundred years at the cost of three top-grade spirit stones.
After entering and taking a quick look, Ye Changsheng discovered that the facilities in this cave were quite complete and the spiritual energy was extremely abundant.
It is no worse than the cave he rented in Yubi City.
After some busy work, Ye Changsheng began to set up his own restrictions in this cave.
Although this cave itself carries very powerful restrictions, Ye Changsheng has never pinned his hopes on others, so he will definitely use his own restrictions.
After setting up several powerful formations, Ye Changsheng arranged the insect room and placed the gold-eating insects in it.
Then he closed the cave and began to practice in seclusion here.
In the training room, Ye Changsheng waved his hand, and a pile of jade bottles appeared in front of him, filled with elixirs and other training resources.
Tianhuo Pill and Lingyun Pill, these two kinds of pills were given to him by Qing Yuanzi. They can enhance the magic power of cultivators in the late stage of Lianxu.
But for Ye Changsheng, it is enough for medium-term use.
Dark Essence is a secret medicine of the Changyuan clan that helps break through the bottleneck of the late stage of Refining Void. It can increase the chance of breakthrough by 30%.
Tianluo Pill is a pill made from the Qingluo Fruit that Ye Changsheng looted from the fish shop owner. It is a pill that relies on luck.
Fortunately, he had enough Tianluo Dan on him, so he didn't have to worry about not getting a high enough probability.
Ye Changsheng placed all these things in front of him, naturally because he planned to cultivate to the late stage of refining emptiness in one go.
This means that he will be in seclusion for a long time. Currently, he is relatively safe among the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun. It may not be easy for the Helian Business Alliance to find this place.
Once he crossed the continent, it would be basically impossible for him to continue relying on the method of blood sacrifice to sense the Xuantian treasure.
In fact, when Ye Changsheng arrived at the Gu Li tribe, the Helian Merchant Alliance could no longer sense that he was in the Gu Li tribe through the blood sacrifice near the Feiling tribe. After all, the distance was too far.
Now if the Helian Merchant Alliance wants to find out his location, there are only two ways.
One way is to follow the teleportation array all the way, find the Guli tribe from the Feiling tribe, and then find the location where he was teleported to the Thunder Continent from the Guli tribe.
Ye Changsheng didn’t know what the situation was with the Feiling Clan, but after a little thought, he knew that it was impossible for the Helian Business Alliance to find him in this way.
Because when he was teleported to the Thunder Continent, he was on the side of the Jiaochi and Juling tribes, which was extremely far away from the Thirteen Tianyun tribes.
So even if they chased them to the Thunder Continent, it would be of no avail.
Well, if you want to find him, you can only use the second method.
That is to let the master of divination in their business alliance perform another divination.
But divination itself is something that goes against the will of heaven. In particular, the more powerful the divination is, the more severe the backlash to the fortune teller will be.
Ye Changsheng didn't believe that the master of divination from the Helian Business Alliance could predict the existence of the Xuantian treasure without any scruples.
So he was not worried that the other party would come to him in the short term.
However, if the other party really came knocking on his door, he would raise the banner of Tianfeng among the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun and make his title of "a person valued by Tianfeng" known to the public, so as to play a game with the Helian Merchant Alliance.
In the end, all that’s left is to sell the Fantian Flag to them.
Of course, for Ye Changsheng, he would not sell the Fantian Flag if he could avoid it. After all, he could not copy such a unique Xuantian treasure.
Every time one is sold, there is one less piece. Among the existing Xuantian treasures in the spiritual world, the only ones better than the Fantian Flag are the Breaking Heaven Hammer, the Mysterious Heaven Bell, the Yinjun Heavenly Book and the Xuantian Qi Gourd.
But no matter which of these, he could not easily plan to get them. The only Xuantian treasure he could cultivate in the future was the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword.
Therefore, it is absolutely not worthwhile to sell the Xuantian treasure just for the few resources provided by the Helian Business Alliance.
Unless the other party can give him the opportunity to break through to the Mahayana stage.
But that is impossible. If it really existed, the Chamber of Commerce would have used it long ago. How could they give it to an outsider?
Ye Changsheng did not place his hopes of breaking through to the Mahayana stage on the Helian Shangmeng. Instead, he was still planning for the Soul Washing Pools in the Guanghan Realm and the Demon Realm.
But now, what he needs to do is to take the elixir and enter the late stage of refining emptiness as soon as possible.
Ye Changsheng opened a jade bottle, poured out a scarlet pill, and swallowed it.
In an instant, an extremely strong medicinal power rushed into his body, quickly turning into a torrent, flowing through his meridians.
Ye Changsheng immediately started to practice the Five Elements Soul Condensation Technique and began to refine the medicinal power.
…
Time flies, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, in a cave on Mount Yakumo, a powerful aura suddenly flashed by, and then countless vital energies of heaven and earth gathered into a ball, rolled in, and sank into the cave.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of many monks around. Many of them looked over here, with an expression of great envy in their eyes.
"Which fellow Taoist has made a breakthrough again?"
“Alas, it has been six thousand years since I entered the seventh level of the upper clan. I don’t know when I can make a further breakthrough. Seeing this scene today, I am really envious!”
"Brother Cheng is still thinking about breakthroughs. I really envy you. I only have a hundred years to go before the next great calamity. I don't even know if I can survive it!"
"The road to immortality is long, and the night is endless. I don't know when we can reach the end and achieve true immortality!"
"The immortality of immortality is too illusory. I will be satisfied if I can enter the Saint level in this lifetime!"
"Brother Yu and I have the same idea. People like us should not consider such unattainable things as Mahayana True Immortals. Being able to enter the Saint Level is enough for this life!"
“Haha, when you truly enter the Saint Stage, you will start saying things like: Ascending to the True Immortal Stage is out of reach, and being able to enter the Mahayana Stage in this lifetime is enough!”
"Hahahaha, what Brother Cheng said makes sense!"
“But then again, could the person who made the breakthrough here be a Saint-level senior? Judging from the movement of the heaven and earth energy caused by this, it doesn’t seem like something a cultivator from the upper clan can do!”
"It's hard to say. Generally speaking, a breakthrough in the existence of the Saint Clan will trigger all kinds of strange phenomena in the world, and it is definitely not a simple large-scale riot of the vitality of the world like the one in front of us!"
"That's strange. If we weren't elders from the Saint Clan, how could we, cultivators from the upper clans like you and me, cause a riot of heaven and earth energy on this scale!"
"Maybe this fellow Taoist has practiced some powerful and unusual skills. When we have time, we might as well go visit this fellow Taoist together!"
"Haha, okay, I also want to see who is the one who can cause such amazing energy fluctuations!"
…
A group of cultivators in the Nascent Soul and Healing stages looked at Ye Changsheng's cave from afar and talked for a long time before dispersing.
They were all attracted by the noise made when Ye Changsheng broke through to the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. Such a huge noise was extremely rare under normal circumstances.
They almost immediately became convinced that the monks living here were definitely not ordinary people!
At that time, countless people wanted to make friends.
In the cave, Ye Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and two beams of five-colored light flashed in his eyes.
A terrifying aura burst out from his body, but immediately disappeared.
He stretched out his hand, looked at the crystal clear skin and the five-colored magic power flowing in the meridians under the flesh and blood, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
There is no doubt that after the end of this retreat, his strength will surge again.
Now, even when facing a cultivator in the middle stage of fusion, he is confident that he can kill him.
If you encounter a cultivator in the late stage of fusion, I can't say that you can definitely defeat him, but escaping from him is definitely not a problem.
In other words, as long as he doesn't encounter a strong man at the Mahayana level, he can go anywhere in this big world.
Ye Changsheng stood up, collected all the jade bottles on the floor of the training room with a wave of his hand, then pushed open the door and walked to the next door.
Pushing open the door of the insect room, a large number of densely packed golden and ferocious beetles were lying on the wall, motionless.
Ye Changsheng looked at the large number of insects inside and a smile appeared on his face.
Over the past hundred years, he has never stopped cultivating mature gold-eating bugs. After consuming more than 2 billion spirit stones, the number of mature gold-eating bugs in his hands has reached 30,000.
Now it is almost time for these gold-eating bugs to proceed to the next stage of evolution. With 30,000 mature gold-eating bugs, we can try to cultivate half-bug kings.
Ye Changsheng collected all the gold-eating bugs, then walked to the entrance of the cave. With a wave of his sleeves, the door of the cave opened.
Suddenly, a bunch of colorful sound transmission notes flew over. After Ye Changsheng took a rough look at them, he threw all of them aside.
He leaped into the air and transformed into a beam of five-colored light, flying towards the distant Yuncheng market.
This trip lasted nearly ten days. When Ye Changsheng came out of the market, he had some unique items of the Thirteen Tianyun Clans and hundreds of millions of spirit stones.
He sold all the spiritual treasures, elixirs and many other things he had obtained after killing the monks of the Jiaochi tribe in the market.
The sale of these things directly brought the total amount of spirit stones he had on him to as much as 1.5 billion.
When Ye Changsheng came back from the market, he saw two figures wandering outside his cave, as if they were waiting for something.
"This is..." Ye Changsheng looked at this scene with confusion in his eyes.
He leaped forward, and when he got closer, he saw that the two men had also turned around.
A man who looks like a teenager, and a white-haired old man. One of them is in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, and the other is in the early stage of the Refining Void Realm.
When they saw him appear, the two men seemed a little surprised and looked at his cultivation carefully. When they saw his strength in the late stage of Refining Void, a trace of caution flashed in their eyes.
Flying forward, the old man in the early stage of the Void Refining Sect bowed and asked kindly, "Daoyou, are you also here to visit the owner of this place?"
When Ye Changsheng heard this, an inexplicable smile flashed across his eyes: "Oh, you came here just to visit the owner of this place?"
The old man laughed when he heard this and said, "Daoyou, why are you asking when you already know the answer? The owner of this place caused a big commotion when he broke through the realm before. We all guessed that this person must be a Daoist with great magical powers, so naturally we want to make friends with him!"
"Could it be that you didn't come here for these things, fellow Taoist?" The old man seemed quite surprised.
Ye Changsheng grinned, chuckled, and said, "There is actually such a thing!"
"It seems that fellow Daoist really doesn't know about this matter. Could it be that you just came here from outside recently?" The old man said, shaking his head, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
He sighed with some emotion and said, "It's a pity that this Taoist friend doesn't communicate with others very much. We have visited him several times, but the door of the cave was always closed and there was no movement!"
