Chapter 1748 - 1733: Incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl

As Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense suddenly spread out, Ye Zhen’s seven Spirit Pillars, like towering trees that suddenly sprouted, sent countless Spiritual Power and Dao Patterns spreading in all directions, condensing together.

Under the influence of the cultivation technique and the control of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense, walls engraved with mysterious patterns rose from the ground, gradually forming a grand hall filled with a mysterious aura, emitting seven-colored radiance.

In truth, the essence of the Dark Palace Realm is to further control the Spirit Palace, using the Spirit Pillar’s expansion and growth to accommodate more Spiritual Power.

At the same time, it also provides better protection for the Innate Divine Soul.

If Ye Zhen’s current Primordial Spirit could directly exist as a Primordial Spirit, it could at least exhibit sixty to eighty percent of Ye Zhen’s combat power.

Then for ordinary martial artists, upgrading from the Divine Communication Realm to the Dark Palace Realm is not only an improvement in cultivation but also a strengthening of the Divine Soul.

Constructing the Dark Palace can make the Divine Soul less susceptible to external interference, significantly weakening enemies’ Divine Soul Attacks.

Moreover, once the Dark Palace is built, the martial artist’s Divine Soul Power can fully unfold within it, like adding countless tendrils of Spiritual Power to their spiritual abilities.

This allows the martial artist to mobilize Spiritual Power and Dao Patterns faster, maximizing combat power.

Of course, the Dark Palace is merely a name.

In reality, martial artists’ Dark Palaces in this world are diverse, with some resembling caves, pentagons, eggs, or elongated shapes, entirely based on personal preference.

However, most martial artists prefer to shape their Dark Palace into an elegant palace form.

Ye Zhen also chose this, but due to having seven Spirit Pillars of different colors and the foundation of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion, Ye Zhen chose the form of the Five Elements Yin Yang Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace on top of it.

This could maximize the power of the Five Elements Yin Yang Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace, but Ye Zhen also added a bit of personal flair.

By using the different colors of the seven Spirit Pillars, Ye Zhen made the Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace colorful and dynamic.

Everything proceeded as Ye Zhen envisioned, and as long as the Dark Palace was topped off, and the Primordial Spirit steadied the palace afterward, Ye Zhen would officially break through.

But just as the Dark Palace was capped off and the Primordial Spirit was about to steady it with the Secret Technique, Ye Zhen’s newly capped, brilliantly colored Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace began to tremble violently, and numerous cracks appeared all over the freshly constructed Dark Palace!

"Not good!"

This scenario was too familiar to Ye Zhen.

Every time Ye Zhen attempted to break through before, it ended with such circumstances.

"Still can’t do it...."

Bitterness spread across Ye Zhen’s lips, even as he desperately channeled Spiritual Power, unable to resist the collapse of the Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace.

The next moment, with a move of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense, a terrifying aura instantly spread out, shocking the Sky Wing Three Saints, Hei Er, Hei Qi, Hei Jiu, Ling Qianbi, and others outside who were healing.

"Is this...the Divine Soul Waves of a Dao Realm Expert? Has Fourth Brother’s Divine Soul become this powerful?"

The Sky Wing Three Saints, who opened their eyes simultaneously, were beyond words in their shock.

Even Ling Qianbi, despite previous predictions, was still incredibly astonished to witness it firsthand today.

The expressions of Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu were completely different.

It was pride, joy, and envy.

The pride, joy, and envy of a soldier for their powerful marshal.

One by one, the people outside were shocked by Ye Zhen’s sudden release of aura, but just as Ye Zhen had newly constructed the Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace, yet with the full release of Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Power, it began to collapse faster.

However, though it collapsed, the collapsing power, under the control and guidance of Ye Zhen’s immensely powerful Primordial Spirit Power, slowly returned to the Dantian and the seven Spirit Pillars, avoiding complete loss.

It is precisely because of Ye Zhen’s strong Primordial Spirit that he could contend with multiple consecutive failures in breaking into the Dark Palace Realm without harm.

If it were any other martial artist, failing to break through the Dark Palace Realm even once, let alone three to five times, would likely require years of recovery from serious injury.

Moments later, Ye Zhen slowly opened his eyes, his expression extremely unsightly.

This time, it was another failure.

Even with the power of the seven Spirit Pillars and the Dantian each increasing by ten to thirty percent, it was still a failure, for the same reason.

The Primordial Spirit had made Ye Zhen powerful, allowing him to freely use powerful Acquired Spirit Treasures, but it also became an obstruction on Ye Zhen’s martial path.

Unfortunately, this obstacle could only be jumped over by Ye Zhen, not moved or smashed away.

It was truly a case of Primordial Spirit success and failure.

Otherwise, Ye Zhen estimated that his current cultivation would be at least around the Third Stage or even Fourth Stage of the Dark Palace Realm.

"It seems I need to quickly seek guidance from a senior master on this issue, being stuck at the Peak of Ninth Stage of the Divine Communication Realm unable to break through is a major problem....."

In fact, Ye Zhen had previously consulted the ’masters’ by his side, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou and Zi Ling, both of whom were ancient beings of unknown age.

Unfortunately, even with their extensive experience, they had little cultivation expertise, nor had they seen anyone like Ye Zhen, who had condensed a Primordial Spirit that only Dao Realm Experts could form, yet whose cultivation was stuck at the peak of Divine Communication Realm!

Yes, be it Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou or Zi Ling, both labeled Ye Zhen as a rare oddity in the cultivation world, having blocked his own martial path.....a peculiarity!

Ye Zhen exhaled a long breath, as if blowing away the frustration of another failed breakthrough.

Then, Ye Zhen collected his emotions, and his Divine Sense sank into the Mirage Dragon Pearl, ready to check out his greatest gain today, the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Ancient Fierce Beast Strong Wind, to lighten his mood.

As soon as his Divine Sense submerged, Ye Zhen frowned.

Something wasn’t quite right.

The Strong Wind Essence Spirit Pearl inside his Mirage Dragon Pearl seemed off.

With a brief comparison to other Essence Spirit Pearls, Ye Zhen found that this Strong Wind Essence Spirit Pearl he had condensed seemed incomplete.

Especially the vividly realistic Strong Wind shadow within the Essence Spirit Pearl, some areas were shockingly vague, almost invisible, forming a stark contrast with the clear soul shadows within the other Essence Spirit Pearls.

"Hmph, whether it’s complete or incomplete, since it’s formed into an Essence Spirit Pearl, it should be usable! I want to see what innate divine abilities this incomplete Essence Spirit Pearl can bring me, or bestow upon me from the Ancient Fierce Beast Strong Wind!"

With a cold snort, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense moved, diving into the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s incomplete Essence Spirit Pearl of the Ancient Fierce Beast Strong Wind!
