Chapter 1754 - 1739: Ascetic Priest

The Mountain God Yi Xun, or rather the Grand Venerable of the Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall, had already explained to Ye Zhen very clearly that if Ye Zhen wanted to solve the current dilemma and break through his cultivation to the Dark Palace Realm, he must rely on the power of the Acquired Spirit Treasure, the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal.

This Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal, apart from having various methods of Divine Soul attacks, its most potent or most famous power is the suppression of Divine Soul power.

As long as one enters a certain range of the activated Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal, the martial artist’s Divine Soul power will be suppressed.

Regardless of whether you are an ordinary martial artist or a Dao Realm expert who has condensed a Primordial Spirit, even those Creation Realm gods will inevitably be subjected to the suppression of Divine Soul power by the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal.

The extent of this suppression is related to the distance from the activated Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal.

The closer you are to the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal, the greater the suppression, and the further you are, the smaller the suppression.

Under normal circumstances, within a hundred miles of the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal, ordinary martial artists would struggle to exert eighty percent of their Divine Soul power.

As for the Dao Realm experts, within that hundred mile range, they can still exert nearly ninety percent of their Divine Soul power, with a slight suppression.

Within fifty miles, ordinary martial artists below the Dao Realm will face at least fifty percent suppression, and exerting fifty percent of their full Divine Soul power would be the limit.

However, those martial artists with a Primordial Spirit, are only suppressed by twenty percent and can still exert eighty percent of their power.

If within ten miles of the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal’s range, martial artists below the Dao Realm without a forged Primordial Spirit would feel as if they have entered a Divine Soul prison, experiencing an instinctual fear deep within their souls.

Barely managing to withstand the suppression of the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal without collapsing or fainting, remaining conscious, is considered good enough.

But those with a forged Primordial Spirit can still exert fifty to sixty percent of their Divine Soul power at this distance.

According to the words of the Grand Venerable of the Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall, if other martial artists were in Ye Zhen’s unique situation, then cultivating and breaking through within ten miles distance of the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal would be most suitable.

But Ye Zhen is different, the strength of Ye Zhen’s four-colored Primordial Spirit, condensed from four-colored Innate Soul Light, is several times that of ordinary Primordial Spirits, and consequently, the suppression he experiences from the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal is naturally less than that of three-colored Primordial Spirits.

Thus, the Grand Venerable of the Destiny Hall suggested that the best place for Ye Zhen to cultivate and break through would be within five miles distance of the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal; this would be the most suitable distance.

As for where to find the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal, the Grand Venerable of Destiny Hall gave Ye Zhen clear directions.

The Heavenly Temple and the Ancestor God Temple of Great Zhou.

This made Ye Zhen a bit depressed, if he had received this answer half a year ago, he might have mentioned this in negotiations with Baili Fei, the Moon Hall Master of Sun and Moon Heaven in Heavenly Temple.

By adding conditions from Mu Xu, the Mu Hall Master, perhaps he could have borrowed the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal.

But now, it wasn’t even worth thinking about.

According to Mountain God Yi Xun, the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal from the Heavenly Temple is very likely in the hands of the Nine Suns Divine King, not to mention the inherent unresolved enmity between the entire line of Sun and Moon Heavenly Temple and Ye Zhen,

let alone the personal and irreconcilable hatred and conflict Ye Zhen has with Nine Suns Divine King’s direct disciple and Divine Envoy Ming Tang.

The possibility of borrowing the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal from the Heavenly Temple is virtually zero.

As for the first Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal that appeared in the world, it has been missing for countless millennia, even the Five Immortals Hall has no information about it.

For Ye Zhen to find it in a short time to aid his breakthrough is undoubtedly like dreaming.

Besides, even if its whereabouts were found, the owner of the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal might not lend it to Ye Zhen.

Therefore, Ye Zhen’s remaining option is only one.

The Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal that is enshrined and serves as the guardian treasure in the War Soul Hall of the Ancestor God Temple of Great Zhou.

Ye Zhen feels the chances of success are high.

Although he does not have a close relationship with Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang of the Ancestor God Temple, they can at least communicate, and Ye Zhen holds the position of inherited Divine Messenger and Left Chief Priest of the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

Besides, Ye Zhen can ask Princess Changle to step in, even if Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang doesn’t care about Ye Zhen, he would still have to show some respect to Princess Changle, right?

Ye Zhen feels confident about this.

Besides, even if the likelihood isn’t high, Ye Zhen still has to go over, by any means necessary, to borrow the Myriad Bone Reincarnation Seal.

Otherwise, Ye Zhen’s cultivation will likely remain at the Peak of Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm for his entire life, which, just imagining it, is a tragedy.

Over these two months, his Senior Sister Liao Feibai spent over two years cultivating arduously within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, first advancing to the Peak of Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm, then smoothly breaking through to the Dark Palace Realm, subsequently advancing to Early Dark Palace Realm.

Ye Zhen estimates that when he returns to Luoyi, spending another ten days or so, his Senior Sister Liao Feibai will be able to break through to the Late First Stage of Dark Palace Realm.

Not to mention, even Big Ears Nie Ting’s cultivation, with over seven years of unlimited resources for arduous cultivation within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, has advanced from Late Stage of Eighth Stage of Dao Entrance Realm to Sixth Stage of Divine Communication Realm, seemingly catching up with Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen is really anxious.

Thus, after asking Mountain God Yi Xun to thank the Grand Venerable of Destiny Hall on his behalf, Ye Zhen bid farewell to Mountain God Yi Xun, once again silently leaving Five Immortals Island and returning to Luoyi at the fastest speed.

However, along the way, Ye Zhen still made a trip to the Market of Dulong Island, Xiansheng Water Mansion, Huaifeng Water Palace, and Yuanxin Water Mansion.

The leaders, including the Sky Wing Three Saints and Liao Feibai, have been cultivating arduously within Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl for over half a year, and without showing themselves for such a long time, their subordinates might develop other intentions.

Firstly, it’s to handle the backlog of affairs, secondly, it’s to let a few people show themselves on their respective territories, flex their muscles, to exert deterrence.

Of course, the main reason is that these people have become addicted to cultivation.

The cultivation path that originally required time to slowly accumulate and improve was accelerated tenfold because of the temporal power of Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl.

This made the people, eager to become stronger, unwilling to leave, solely focused on enhancing their strength.

Ye Zhen also supports them, after all, without the deterrence of strong power, even if a large territory is captured in a short time, ultimately, it cannot withstand the bloody plunder of a half-step Dao Realm expert.

It’s better to accumulate strength now and make a late but explosive breakthrough.

According to the thought of the Sky Wing Three Saints and others, as long as no one attacks their doorstep, they will take this opportunity to diligently cultivate and enhance their strength.

Moreover, this time, Ye Zhen and his group have a more comprehensive plan.

If one wants to dominate a region, strong personal strength alone is not enough.

The strength of your subordinates also needs to be improved.

Currently, Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl space, although quite spacious, can support cultivation for at most one thousand people.

At most, it exceeds the capacity of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, consuming a vast amount of Spirit Stones to supplement the Pearl’s loss.

Additionally, within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Martial Artists cannot absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and can only cultivate and enhance strength using a vast amount of Spirit Stones and Pills.

The cultivation resources currently mastered by Ye Zhen and others are so abundant that they can cultivate however they wish.

They can freely cultivate just ten or eight people, but once the number reaches a hundred or even several hundred people freely cultivating, the consumption rate becomes astonishing.

Even with the current wealth of Ye Zhen and others, they could not support it for long.

After much discussion, they finally made a decision.

Each of the Sky Wing Three Saints can select one hundred people from their own subordinates and bloodline descendants to enter the Mirage Dragon Pearl for cultivation, to become future elite generals under their command.

The cultivation resources for each person’s hundred elite will be provided and distributed by each person.

By comparison, Ye Zhen’s financial capacity is much more relaxed, and in the end, Ye Zhen decided to select two hundred people to enter the Mirage Dragon Pearl space for cultivation.

After having been in the Demon Soul Realm, besieging and killing the Great Saint of the Tempest, Feng Kui, Ye Zhen found that the power of War Spirits really comes in handy.

Especially for someone like him, an Inherited Divine Messenger.

However, in cases where the distance from the Holy Spirit Peak, tribute to the Barbarian Spirit Hall, is too far, or they are not in the same realm, the combat power of the War Spirits will be greatly weakened.

But in that battle, Princess Changle detected anomalies and laid out the War Spirit Sacrificial War Formation inside the Barbarian Spirit Hall, which enhanced the war power of several War Spirits even from afar.

Moreover, this War Spirit Sacrificial War Formation can not only be deployed around the Holy Spirit Peak, but can also be deployed around temporary altars while summoning War Spirits to enhance them.

Additionally, such enhancements are proximity-based, even with only a few hundred people, the enhancement under close combat conditions would not be weaker than the massive enhancements of tens of thousands of priests from the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

So, Ye Zhen wants to cultivate two hundred priests of the Barbarian Spirit Hall and then let them cultivate diligently inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl for years.

When needed, let them come out; perhaps they will have the ability to change the outcome of a battle.

Moreover, the role of the priests of the Barbarian Spirit Hall is not limited to laying down the War Spirit Sacrificial War Formation to enhance War Spirits.

Each priest of the Barbarian Spirit Hall possesses strong combat power, even without summoning War Spirit enhancements, they can be called upon as masters.

Therefore, Ye Zhen decides to select two hundred priests of the Barbarian Spirit Hall for cultivation.

But, the temporal power of the Mirage Dragon Pearl is of great importance, and should the three hundred sacrificial guards sent to Ye Zhen by the Barbarian Spirit Hall suddenly lose two hundred, it would certainly cause a huge uproar.

Additionally, those three hundred priests may not necessarily be willing to become Ascetic Priests for such cultivation.

Moreover, choosing from those three hundred priests, the existence of the temporal power of the Mirage Dragon Pearl is hard to safeguard!

After much thought, Ye Zhen suddenly remembered when he deceived the True Profound Continent to obtain the position of Inherited Divine Messenger of the Holy Spirit Peak, he incidentally accepted a thousand Southern Barbarians as Divine Envoy Attendants.

Those Southern Barbarians, they are all fanatics.

Once they go crazy, even Ye Zhen must be wary.

They are the kind who can offer their lives without hesitation at the command of a Southern Barbarian Elder.

Moreover, they themselves are devout followers of Ancient God War Spirits within the Holy Spirit Peak.

The War Spirit Sacrificial War Formation they lay can bestow even greater power.

Furthermore, in terms of loyalty, not only does Ye Zhen have the Soul-locking Technique, but even without it, the loyalty of these Divine Envoy Attendants can be assured.

These individuals are definitely the best candidates for Ascetic Priests,
