Chapter 588 583: The Stele Is With Me
Long Nannan walked over and took a deep breath. Her big eyes immediately lit up.
"The power of the Spirit Essence here, so this is the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm?"
Long Nannan was very surprised. She felt that with every breath she took, she was cultivating, and each breath allowed her to increase her strength and realm.
Sausage Sister had the same feeling. This was also her first time entering the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and she was filled with curiosity about her surroundings.
"With such a rich concentration of the Power of Spirit Essence, no wonder, no wonder I heard that hundreds of cultivators fought tooth and nail for a chance to cultivate here. In this environment, even those with the poorest of talents could forcefully break through to the Golden Core Realm, right?"
Sausage Sister couldn't help but exclaim, completely astonished by the intense concentration of the Power of Spirit Essence.
The amazement expressed by both women was no surprise to everyone else. At this moment, everyone was excited; they had actually entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm once again.
"We really made it. Master's methods are nothing short of legendary."
Xiao Chuanqi exclaimed in amazement. He too was greedily absorbing the Spirit Essence in the air. Then, as if sensing something in his heart,
the very next moment, Xiao Chuanqi sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. The aura around him began to change slowly. Whirlpools of the Power of Spirit Essence gradually formed around him. A massive amount of the Power of Spirit Essence was being absorbed from the surroundings, and streams of it flowed into Xiao Chuanqi's body.
"He's about to break through!"
Chi Jark's eyes sharpened as he spoke in a deep voice.
The others present were also surprised; they did not expect Xiao Chuanqi to be on the verge of breaking through just after entering.
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and immediately picked up the token in his hand, beginning to communicate with it using his spiritual power.
"Elder Bai, is it possible to send Xiao Chuanqi to the Spirit Essence Pool?"
Ye Feng asked urgently. He had not expected that Xiao Chuanqi would be ready for a breakthrough upon his second entry. If it were possible for him to cultivate and break through to become a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm while in the Spirit Essence Pool, that would be ideal. Therefore, he wanted to directly ask Elder Bai to see if Xiao Chuanqi could be sent into the Spirit Essence Pool.
This token in his hand was not only the true key to opening the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm but also allowed him to communicate directly with the remnant soul of Elder Bai within the realm. He could converse with Elder Bai using his spiritual power.
There was another way to communicate, by simply calling out loudly for Elder Bai. Just like the last time he entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, there would be many of Elder Bai's Spirits of the Secret Realm. Whenever Elder Bai wished, his remnant soul could appear in any of those spirits.
No sooner had Ye Feng finished speaking than Elder Bai's voice resonated in his mind.
"The Spirit Essence Pool is currently in a recovery phase; unless you directly utilize the Power of the Pulse Source inside of it. If the Pulse Source is used directly, the consumption might be quite substantial."
Elder Bai's voice explained.
Ye Feng paused for a moment, then remembered that Elder Bai had mentioned before that the Spirit Essence Pool needed a month of recovery time before it could be filled with pure Spirit Essence Liquid.
That pure Spirit Essence Liquid is actually accumulated and fermented over time by the Pulse Source. Although using the liquid does consume the foundation of the Pulse Source, the consumption is minimal and nearly negligible. However, directly using the energy of the Pulse Source would actually deplete the strength of the Pulse Source itself, and that consumption is irreversible, unlike the Spirit Essence Liquid which is merely an accumulation of overflowing Power of Spirit Essence.
"Then, Elder Bai, how many people can a piece of Pulse Source support to break through to become Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm?"
Ye Feng asked again.
"Presently, each piece of Pulse Source can sustain the breakthrough of a hundred Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm. But Your Majesty, you must be aware that at least five pieces of Pulse Source must not be used directly, or it will affect the foundation of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm,"
Elder Bai cautioned, indicating that the realm needed at least five pieces of Pulse Source to stabilize the very world of the secret realm and to maintain the Power of Spirit Essence in the air.
Ye Feng had already taken one piece of Pulse Source, and there were three pieces left that could be utilized. If those three pieces were also used up, and only five pieces of Pulse Source were left to stabilize the foundation, the air would no longer maintain such a rich concentration of the Power of Spirit Essence.
Ye Feng naturally understood, but he was still startled to learn that each piece could support the advancement of a hundred Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm.
A hundred people?
That was entirely possible; there wasn't much time left before the great turmoil, and what would happen to the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm by then was uncertain. Besides, he would not have that many Half-Step Golden Core powerhouses needing to advance, so what he had was already more than enough.
"Elder Bai, the urgent task now is to enhance the strength of these people around me. The future is uncertain, and letting all these people cultivate won't consume too much power from the Pulse Source. Later, Elder Bai, I will need your help when I notify you to transfer people,"
Ye Feng conveyed once more.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Elder Bai respectfully responded and then fell silent.
On the other side, Ye Feng looked back at the crowd and spoke solemnly, "I know you might ask why I can enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. I don't think this question needs much explanation. You just need to know that I can bring you here, allow you to cultivate here, and even enter the Spirit Essence Pool for cultivation, it's all possible."
At these words, everyone was once again shaken. Could they really be allowed to cultivate in the Spirit Essence Pool?
This was the place everyone present longed for, the most precious spot within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm was none other than the cultivation quota for the Spirit Essence Pool, an allure no one could resist.
Even Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong, who had already entered the Spirit Essence Pool, were greatly interested in the pure Power of Spirit Essence it offered.
No one was more excited than Sima Zhan Tian and Leng Wuming, both Half-Step Golden Core cultivators, who knew exactly what the Spirit Essence Pool meant to them, and they were thrilled beyond measure.
"My lord, do we have to undergo some sort of selection process?"
Sima Zhan Tian couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, everyone else looked over, actually wondering the same thing. Would it be necessary to undergo some kind of selection, similar to before when they had to strike their strongest blow at a huge black stele for ranking, after which the top ten were automatically transported into the Spirit Essence Pool.
When Sima Zhan Tian brought this up, Chi Jark involuntarily glanced towards the center of the Martial Arts Training Plaza, then paused.
"Where did that huge black stele go?"
Chi Jark wondered, staring at a vast empty space in the middle of the plaza. A few days prior when they first entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, there had been a colossal black stele on this grandiose training ground, a mysterious monument they used to test their own strength.
The others also noticed that there was now a conspicuous void on the Martial Arts Training Plaza where the stele, once comparable to a great mountain, used to stand. Now that it was gone, where did the stele go?
"The stele, it's with me."
Ye Feng smiled faintly, and with a flash of black light in his hand, a miniature version of the stele appeared.
All eyes concentrated here, everyone staring wide-eyed at the miniature stele in Ye Feng's hands, their tongues clicking in astonishment.
"Ye Feng, don't tease me. The stele we saw was as big as a mountain. How could it be this little thing in the palm of your hand?"
Chi Jark shook his head directly, convinced Ye Feng was joking. The stele, once mountainous in size, now reduced like this – impossible!
Ye Feng only smiled at this moment, unfazed by Chi Jark's words, still speaking with a light chuckle, "This is indeed the stele used for the selection of the Spirit Essence Pool, the Heaven Guard Monument."
Heaven Guard Monument?
Chi Jark paused, stunned. A magic treasure?
Xiao Rulong, on the other hand, exclaimed in shock, "Heaven Guard Monument!?"
"Ye Feng, are you saying this is the Heaven Guard Monument!?"
Xiao Rulong stepped up close to Ye Feng, intently fixing his gaze on the stele in Ye Feng's hand.
"Xiao Chubby, why so excited? It's just a rock,"
Seeing Xiao Rulong so astounded, Chi Jark couldn't help but curl his lip, regarding it as just a black rock, nothing to be so exaggerated about; it seemed like he was looking at some invaluable treasure.
Xiao Rulong gave Chi Jark a withering look, expressing contempt, "You fool, if you'd read some of the ancient texts back in the clan. The Heaven Guard Monument was one of the powerful magic treasures wielded by that person over two thousand years ago, forged from a meteorite from beyond the heavens, extremely hard and incredibly heavy."
"That person from over two thousand years ago, wielding the Heaven Guard Monument in the Outer Battlefield, vanquished countless members of the Alien Race beneath it. This is a peerless magic treasure, and you know nothing!"
Xiao Rulong ridiculed mercilessly, eyes still gleaming as he stared at the miniature Heaven Guard Monument in Ye Feng's hand.
After hearing all this, Chi Jark and the others gaped, looking at the unassuming miniature black stele – this insignificant-looking rock was so powerful; was it truly a peerless magic treasure?
Xiao Rulong ignored the others, but wore a smiling face, grinning at Ye Feng while fanning him with his Folding Fan in a sycophantic manner.
Ye Feng himself was taken aback, wondering what Xiao Rulong was up to, why was he suddenly fawning over him?
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, sensing something dodgy in Xiao Rulong's eyes as they greedily regarded the Heaven Guard Monument in his hand.
Ye Feng immediately understood; this guy must be eyeing his Heaven Guard Monument.
Sure enough, just as Ye Feng had this thought, Xiao Rulong already looked on with a grin, saying, "Ye Feng, it looks like you have quite a few magic treasures, don't you? The Spear of the Ancestral Dragon, Emperor's Armor, and the Sky-breaking Divine Spear, not to mention the Emperor's Sword. Look at all this, these are all top-level magic treasures."
"With so many top-level magic treasures, surely you can't need them all, right?"
Ye Feng looked on calmly and replied, "Not that many, really. Just lucky to have them, but still not quite enough when it comes to battle."
Bemoaning his plight, those around Ye Feng felt their teeth grind – four top-level magic treasures, and still not enough?
Many of them didn't even possess a single decent magic treasure, not even Chi Jark, the prodigy from an ancient clan who had only one set of Battle Armor and a spear!
What do you think?
