Chapter 1757 - 1742: Borrowing the Treasure

When Ye Zhen quietly arrived at the Desolate Continent, the Flowing Void Gate was already drenched in blood.

As for dealing with Flowing Void Gate, Ye Zhen had immense trust in Jian Qianxiong.

This trust was not just because of Feng Qingyue, but also due to strength.

Under Jian Qianxiong and the Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing, there was a meticulously selected Law Enforcement Team.

This Law Enforcement Team consisted entirely of martial artists at the Establishment Realm, but each had been issued by Ye Zhen with a complete set of mid-grade or high-grade Soul Artifacts.

The complete mid-grade Soul Artifact outfit was formidable enough that even when facing Dao Entrance Realm experts, they had fighting power.

Not to mention, both Jian Qianxiong and Guo Qijing possessed Supreme Soul Artifacts custom-made by Ye Zhen and had the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow capable of killing Dao Entrance Realm experts.

With such power, conquering Flowing Void Gate, which possessed two Dao Entrance Realm experts, was a piece of cake!

Therefore, in this act of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, Ye Zhen merely signed the order; the rest, Jian Qianxiong knew how to handle.

Ye Zhen’s time was precious; he wasn’t willing to waste it there.

Of course, within the Flowing Void Gate, there were bound to be innocents, Ye Zhen believed.

However, better one family cries than everyone cries.

Ye Zhen was convinced that if they really triggered those Dao Realm experts from the Desolate Continent, the billions of people of the True Profound Continent would be lucky to become slaves.

One could only blame the higher-ups of Flowing Void Gate for their insatiability.

Nevertheless, this incident served as a wake-up call for Ye Zhen.

There were more restless entities on the True Profound Continent than just Flowing Void Gate, of which Ye Zhen needed to be vigilant.

After making brief arrangements at the Xiansheng Water Mansion, Ye Zhen headed straight for North Sea County.

During Ye Zhen’s absence of a few days, nothing happened in North Sea County, and things seemed as Ma Yuanjin had said – there was no immediate intention to act from the direction of West Patrol.

However, Ye Zhen was well-aware that West Patrol’s Xio Qiangu was like a poised king cobra ready to strike at him fatally when given an opportunity.

Guarding against thieves day in and day out is not Ye Zhen’s style, so after brief arrangements, he straightforwardly reported to the Grand Celestial Official’s Mansion, then shifted his focus to Luoyi.

Solving the current issue of being unable to break through the Dark Palace Realm was Ye Zhen’s top priority.

It’s worth mentioning that whether it’s the elite generals of the Sky Wing Three Saints or Ye Zhen’s Ascetic Priests, or even Liao Feibai’s Sword Attendants, all had entered the Mirage Dragon Pearl to undergo lengthy ascetic cultivation.

Currently, the cultivation of hundreds of individuals wasn’t very advanced, like Liao Feibai’s Sword Attendants, whose average cultivation was around the Spirit Transformation Realm, unlikely to use Spirit Stones, only Spirit Crystals daily for cultivation, consuming very little.

But as their cultivation rapidly improved, the consumption and expenditure would soar.

And that day wouldn’t be far away.

With top-tier cultivation techniques, continuous ascetic cultivation, abundant cultivation resources, and elixirs, coupled with guidance from accomplished teachers, these people’s cultivation was substantially rapid.

What they needed was merely time.

In just the short span of six or seven days of Ye Zhen’s return to Desolate Continent, reaching Luoyi, individuals among Liao Feibai’s Sword Attendants and Ye Zhen’s Ascetic Priests had already successively broken through, progressing from Spirit Transformation Realm Third Stage to Spirit Transformation Realm Fifth Stage mid-phase.

Perhaps only one or two years were needed for Ye Zhen’s Ascetic Priests to be put to use.

Upon reaching Luoyi, Ye Zhen first routinely visited the Grand Celestial Official’s Mansion, given that this return to Luoyi was under the pretext of seeking secret records.

The necessary formalities still required to be upheld to prevent being criticized!

Subsequently, Ye Zhen arrived at the Ancestor God Temple, but he didn’t directly seek an audience with the Great Chief Sacrificer Bai Xiang.

Although Ye Zhen knew that the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal was inside the War Soul Hall, contemplating first, he wanted to understand the circumstances thoroughly through Princess Changle before making a move.

Having long known of Ye Zhen’s impending visit, Princess Changle was all smiles, wearing the mansion lord’s outfit from the Barbarian Spirit Hall in dark green, radiating an astonishingly alluring presence.

The first thing upon meeting, Ye Zhen naturally expressed gratitude to Princess Changle; had it not been for Princess Changle’s perception and proactive launching of the War Spirit Sacrificial Battle Formation, along with the Essence Blood Sacrifice, amplifying the War Spirit’s prowess, Ye Zhen’s intention to slay the Great Saint of the Tempest, Feng Kui, would have been uncertain.

Inevitably, Princess Changle inquired incessantly about the details of that battle, her eyes constantly sparkling with the joy of fulfilling a wish.

Back then, Princess Changle hadn’t summoned the three War Spirits to inquire details precisely for this day.

To spend more time with Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen answered each question, fulfilling Princess Changle’s curiosity, and this conversation lasted for half a day.

Once nearly everything was said, the topic shifted to Ye Zhen’s main purpose.

"Brother Ye, you said you need to borrow the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal from the War Soul Hall? What does Brother Ye intend to use it for?" asked Princess Changle upon hearing Ye Zhen’s intent.

"For cultivation!"

"My current cultivation is stuck at the peak of the Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm, unable to break through for a long time. I need to harness the power of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to suppress my Divine Soul for a breakthrough," Ye Zhen explained to Princess Changle without concealment.

Hearing Ye Zhen say this, Princess Changle’s expression relaxed, "If it’s for other purposes, it might be very difficult to borrow the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal, but if it’s for cultivation, it couldn’t be easier."

"Oh, how so?" Now Ye Zhen was surprised.

Before coming here, Ye Zhen had thought of many ways to borrow the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal, even considering owing a significant favor by asking Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu to help.

But didn’t expect it to be so easy here with Princess Changle.

"This is related to the special nature of this Acquired Spirit Treasure, the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal.

The Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal, unlike ordinary Acquired Spirit Treasures, was initially crafted to suppress and subdue those fearsome War Spirits that emerged from the Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea, worshiped by the War Soul Hall.

Therefore, the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal does not have a true master, or rather, its real master is actually the War Soul Hall itself.

Moreover, over tens of thousands of years, the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal has been nourished by countless fierce War Spirits within the War Soul Hall, growing ever stronger, and has mostly remained idle.

The War Soul Hall thinks that leaving such an Acquired Spirit Treasure idle is a massive waste, doesn’t it?

Just so happens that the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal has the effect of honing the Divine Soul, increasing its strength, and tempering it. Especially for martial artists intending to condense the Primordial Spirit, it is highly effective, with many coming to borrow it.

Later, the Hall Master of the War Soul Hall simply used Great Power to make the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal condense into an avatar.

Then, they set a clear price, allowing anyone from the Ancestor God Temple to borrow the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal for five thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones a day, facilitating the priests intending to break through, while also creating revenue for the War Soul Hall," Princess Changle explained.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen was dumbfounded.

Things Ye Zhen had thought of many methods for turned out to be so simple.

Just by spending spirit stones, it could be done, and five thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones a day was affordable for Ye Zhen now.

Moreover, Ye Zhen didn’t need it for long, at most half a month, to break through to the Dark Palace Realm and stabilize.

"If that’s the case, it’s really simple. I just wonder if there are many people using this Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal?" Ye Zhen worried.

"Brother Ye, rest assured, basically only Half-step Dao Realm or Dao Realm experts intending to condense the Primordial Spirit would use the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal, so there aren’t many users.

Moreover, the daily expenditure of five thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones is quite overwhelming, even for Dao Realm experts, if they use it for too long.

You should be able to rent it."

After saying that, Princess Changle added, "If it weren’t for the requirement that users must personally carve a temporary Divine Soul Imprint when renting the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal, I could have gone for you and settled this matter."

"No worries, since it can be rented, that’s great. I will go right now!" Ye Zhen said.

The War Soul Hall ranks among the top five grand halls in the Ancestor God Temple, with formidable combat power and millions of priests.

It’s quite famous and easy to find.

After arriving at the War Soul Hall, upon expressing his intention, someone reported, and soon, Dalantai, the Right Chief Priest responsible for this, hurried over to greet Ye Zhen.

Upon hearing that Ye Zhen wanted to rent the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal, he was very happy.

The renting of their War Soul Hall’s avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal is genuinely cost-free business.

"Haha, you’re lucky. The avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal was only returned a few days ago. If you were any later, you might have had to wait a while to rent it."

"Oh, right, you know the rules, correct? Five thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones per day, a minimum rental of ten days, payment is immediate! You cannot leave the range of the Ancestor God Temple when using it. Once you leave the Ancestor God Temple, the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal will be automatically retrieved by the main body," Dalantai from the War Soul Hall explained.

Ye Zhen also smiled and nodded, he didn’t expect searching for the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to break through his cultivation would be this smooth.

"I know the rules. This time, I’ll rent it for fifteen days first and see if it works. If not, I’ll extend the rental!" Ye Zhen said.

"Half a month, that’s seventy-five thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones in total. By the way, to prevent anyone from damaging the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal,

the renter needs to record detailed information, like which hall, what position, and what cultivation level, and needs at least three guarantors present. Of course, if there’s a Palace Master-level person as guarantor, one is enough!" Dalantai said with a smile.

Ye Zhen didn’t mind and immediately said, "I am Ye Zhen, affiliated with the Barbarian Spirit Hall, and I hold the position of Left Chief Priest of the Barbarian Spirit Hall, cultivation is at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of the Divine Communication Realm. As for the guarantor, Hall Master Changle....."

"Wait, you... you said your cultivation is only at the Ninth Stage Peak of the Divine Communication Realm, what do you want to rent the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal for?"

"Right, what position did you just say you hold in the Barbarian Spirit Hall?" Dalantai’s expression suddenly became very peculiar.

"Uh, naturally for honing the Divine Soul, I serve as the Left Chief Priest in the Barbarian Spirit Hall," Ye Zhen frowned.

"You’re the... that Ye Zhen?"

"Uh? What’s the matter, is there a problem? I’ve prepared the spirit stones, can you handle the rental procedures for me?" Ye Zhen urged.

"This..."

Dalantai’s expression became peculiar, "This... please wait a moment, the rental of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal is a significant matter, before renting it out, it requires...consultation with the Hall Master to decide whether to proceed with renting it."

After speaking, he flashed away, leaving Ye Zhen behind, and ran deep into the grand hall, disappearing.
