Chapter 1016: Chapter 1002: Sword Fiend

For two consecutive months, Ye Zhen did not take a single step outside the gate of the Sea Suppression Hall.

During these two months, Ye Zhen seized every moment to cultivate.

Ye Zhen arranged his daily schedule to be packed full.

Every day, he dedicated four hours to improving his cultivation, a routine Ye Zhen adhered to unfailingly.

In cultivation, perseverance is paramount, and two months of relentless hard training have proved effective.

Especially here at Sky Wing Mountain, the convergence spot of the Spirit Veins of the entire Heavenly Wing Island, including the nearby seabed, the spiritual power is profoundly concentrated, even surpassing the supreme Immortal Realm spiritual veins of the True Spirit Domain.

Under these circumstances, Ye Zhen’s cultivation speed is very rapid; most importantly, Ye Zhen now possesses a large quantity of exceedingly pure energy Spirit Crystals.

In fact, the fastest way for a martial artist to improve cultivation is by refining the power within Spirit Crystals, but for most martial artists, Spirit Crystals have already become currency, a necessity for exchanging other cultivation resources.

Most martial artists don’t have enough Spirit Crystals to purchase various cultivation supplies like pills, cultivation technique manuals, spiritual artifacts, or spirit talismans—how can they afford the luxury of directly using Spirit Crystals for training?

But Ye Zhen currently can.

After consecutively acquiring the fortune of two Nine Domain Dragon Kings and over thirty White Dragon Envoys, Ye Zhen’s wealth is simply staggering.

The number of Spirit Crystals is calculated in billions.

During these two months at sea, Ye Zhen, though constantly fleeing for his life and every moment at the threshold of life and death, has reaped rewards several times greater than the sum of all his previous years’ gains.

Ye Zhen estimated that, not even considering those rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the number of Spirit Crystals alone, calculated as Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, exceeds four hundred million blocks.

Therefore, every day for these two months, Ye Zhen has been fully engaged in cultivation, and to enhance the effect, he uses High Grade Spirit Crystals for training.

Ye Zhen consumes more than a thousand High Grade Spirit Crystals daily during his practice.

At the exchange rate, it equates to consuming over a hundred and twenty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals each day. In just two months, he has exhausted more than seven million two hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals!

This number already equals the entire fortune of many average Establishment Kings.

Yet for Ye Zhen, it is merely a drop in the ocean. With his current wealth, Ye Zhen can continue this intense training for years.

Under such luxurious cultivation, Ye Zhen’s cultivation speed is extremely astonishing.

In two months, Ye Zhen’s cultivation surged from Early Stage of Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm to Late Stage Sixth Stage, and Ye Zhen estimated that if he continued for another month or so, he could definitely ascend to the Peak of Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm.

Apart from the four hours spent on cultivation daily, Ye Zhen also dedicates another four hours to comprehending and perfecting the killing move inspired by the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea’s Water Dao Patterns!

That day, under the deliberate guidance of the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, by the end, Ye Zhen had conceived the embryonic form of a killing move named Black Dragon Twist.

In these two months, Ye Zhen has been every day understanding and perfecting Black Dragon Twist.

Every day involves extensive practice followed by comprehension and modification; up to today, it is nearly perfected.

According to Ye Zhen’s own assessment, its power should be extremely formidable, after all, it is a killing move comprehended by directly understanding the Dao Patterns and then harnessing the power within the Black Dragon Martial Meridians.

Innately, its grade far outshines those Divine Power Martial Skills.

It is worth noting Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Martial Meridians’ unsealing degree.

When the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea withdrew the Dao Pattern and left that day, Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Martial Meridians’ unsealing degree had already exceeded forty percent.

During these two months of continuously comprehending Black Dragon Killing Twist, although the unsealing speed is very slow compared to directly understanding the Water Dao Pattern, it has sustained for two months.

Finally, just three days ago, Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Martial Meridians unsealed degree surpassed fifty percent, bringing great delight to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen is eagerly anticipating what kind of surprise the thorough unsealing of the Black Dragon Martial Meridians will bring?

Besides, every day Ye Zhen spends three hours comprehending the Mystic Sky Refining Technique left by the Earth Core Fire Commander.

Ye Zhen increasingly recognizes the disparity between martial artists with and without spiritual artifacts, thus realizing the importance of artifact refining.

Once possessing powerful spiritual artifacts, a martial artist’s strength and survival capacity multiply.

Of course, most importantly, Ye Zhen intends to help his senior sister Liao Feibai reforge a weapon.

To be frank, Liao Feibai’s disposition is also a restless one.

Most people cannot bully Liao Feibai, but when an accident occurs, it’s a matter of life and death.

The previous time when Liao Feibai was at the point of life and death had happened to be discovered by Ye Zhen; it was luck, but fortune will eventually run its course. The next time danger arises, perhaps Ye Zhen won’t appear coincidentally; then the consequences…

Therefore, Ye Zhen wants to enhance Liao Feibai’s capabilities as much as possible.

Cultivation depends fundamentally on Liao Feibai herself, while Ye Zhen can bring change only through spiritual artifacts!

Now Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul cultivation has soared, enabling him to craft High Grade Spirit Artifacts without any surprise.

In the past two months, Ye Zhen has successfully transformed several mid-grade spiritual artifacts on him into high-grade spiritual artifacts.

For example, Ye Zhen’s Black Silkworm Spirit Silk Armor and Liao Feibai’s Black Dragon Spirit Armor, Ye Zhen’s spoils from so many powerful individuals, the abundance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he accumulated was simply immeasurable, leaving him with no shortage of materials for enhancement.

After destroying four or five mid-grade Black Dragon Spirit Armors for practice, Ye Zhen managed to succeed in refining a high-grade spiritual artifact.

Ironically, Ye Zhen seized over a dozen Black Dragon Spirit Whips from the hands of the White Dragon Envoy.

The Black Dragon Spirit Whip is most powerful when powered by water element spiritual power, and when Ye Zhen used Black Dragon Water Spirit Power, its power was even more astounding.

Moreover, Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures mostly came from the seabed, making the modification of the Black Dragon Spirit Whip very smooth. After exploding a few Black Dragon Spirit Whips, Ye Zhen enhanced the grade of his own Black Dragon Spirit Whip to a high-grade spiritual artifact.

As for the name, Ye Zhen slightly altered it to Black Dragon Whip!

However, these are not the main points. The focus is on modifying the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword from the Golden Rainbow Dragon King for Liao Feibai.

Ye Zhen discovered that the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword is not just a supreme spiritual artifact.

If it weren’t for some reasons, this Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword might have become a soul artifact!

All of this is because there is a mass of Sword Fiend trapped inside the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword!

This Sword Fiend, along with the Profound Ice Spirit Evil found by Liao Feibai in Yang Ben’s storage ring, should be of similar level treasures, and their creation is even more difficult than the Profound Ice Spirit Evil.

With this Sword Fiend in the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword, each sword light is automatically influenced and empowered by this incredibly sharp Sword Fiend, instantly boosting its power by over fifty percent.

This is also the true reason why the Golden Rainbow Dragon King, an Establishment King at the Ninth Stage, could confront a Dao Realm expert like the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea head-on in an attack.

Unfortunately, the artifact refiner who crafted the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword, perhaps due to limited insight or intentionally, completely erased that trace of spirit nature inside this mass of Sword Fiend during refinement.

Otherwise, as this mass of Sword Fiend gradually matured with the sword, nurturing that trace of spirit nature into the simplest divine sense spirit wisdom, this Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword could potentially have evolved into a low-grade soul artifact.

But now that trace of spirit nature inside the Sword Fiend has been completely obliterated, and there’s no longer that possibility.

Originally, because Liao Feibai cultivates Ice Spirit Power, the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword was not suitable for him.

However, when Liao Feibai obtained that mass of Profound Ice Spirit Evil from Yang Ben’s storage ring, the situation took a turn.

The Mystic Sky Refining Technique records a method to convert soul artifact attributes, making the hard-to-obtain soul artifact more compatible with oneself.

Firstly, there must be a spiritual object with similar attributes to the martial artist’s cultivation technique. Secondly, this spiritual object must have commonality with the soul artifact whose attributes are to be converted.

The more commonalities, the higher the success rate.

Having three-way commonality was originally extremely stringent.

Yet Ye Zhen unexpectedly found that Liao Feibai’s cultivation of Ice Spirit Power, the accidentally acquired Profound Ice Spirit Evil, and this Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword all had commonalities.

There is no need to elaborate on Ice Spirit Power and Profound Ice Spirit Evil; the mass of Sword Fiend inside the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword shares commonality with Profound Ice Spirit Evil.

Both are forms of fiendish energy that can mutually infect and alter one another.

Thus, Ye Zhen planned to alter the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword.

Originally, with Ye Zhen’s current artifact refining skill level, modifying and refining high-grade spiritual artifacts did not guarantee success each time, let alone this rather rare supreme spiritual artifact, the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword.

Under normal circumstances, failure would be almost certain!

However, because of the method in the Mystic Sky Refining Technique to convert soul artifact attributes, this endeavor had the potential to succeed!

With this idea, Ye Zhen was eager to give it a try.

Because once successful, Liao Feibai’s combat power might become extraordinarily formidable.

This would not only give Ye Zhen much peace of mind, but at the current stage, Ye Zhen could also gain a very strong ally.

Therefore, over these two months, apart from normal cultivation and comprehension, almost all of Ye Zhen’s time was spent preparing for this task. Even during sleep, it was replaced by meditating for two hours each day.

Carefully going over the process of modifying the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword once again in his mind, Ye Zhen flicked his hand to release a Dao Talisman Communication.

This Dao Talisman Communication was sent to Liao Feibai because ever since Ye Zhen had this idea, Liao Feibai had to start collaborating with Ye Zhen.

First, she must gradually introduce the aura of the Profound Ice Spirit Evil into her own body and slowly refine it to merge with her own Ice Spirit Power.

Once she refined the Profound Ice Spirit Evil, thoroughly transforming her internal Ice Spirit Power into Profound Ice Evil Spirit Power, only then could the Golden Rainbow Spirit Sword be modified.

However, when doing something like this for the first time, Ye Zhen himself had no absolute certainty!

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s True Eye sensed something, and he looked towards the window, where the once billowing mist disappeared into thin air, and crystalline frost flowers instantly formed all over the window frames and glass!

A chill manifested from nowhere inside the Sea Suppression Hall! (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
