Chapter 1692 - 1675: Tai Chu Spirit Seed
The Primordial Law Ancient Scripture contained the path leading to the Holy Rank, unfathomably profound.
The Divine Radiance pouring down from the Taichu Ancient Scripture wrapped around Xiao Ye’s Tao and Law, condensing a ’seed’, upon which were spread obscure Scriptures, with Supreme Spiritual Techniques engraved upon it.
The Cosmic Spiritual Energy surged over, circulating through Xiao Ye’s four limbs and hundred bones, making his Physical Body instantly shimmer like crystal.
At the same time, within Xiao Ye’s Body, that ’seed’ shook with countless Divine Lights, erupting with a terrifying Power, exploding inside him and rushing in all directions, causing his face to suddenly turn pale as he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face full of shock.
This ’seed’ had not yet fully formed, but it was simply too overbearing; the Power it released was something even his Invincible Body could not withstand, as dense cracks began to appear all over his Body.
This was a great crisis!
The Power unleashed by the Spirit Seed, exploding within the Physical Body, was enough to destroy all his foundations, far more terrifying than the Fusion Emperor Tribulation.
From this it could be seen that the Cultivation threshold of the Taichu Ancient Scripture was indeed too high; if it were replaced with the Human Race Four Emperors or other Martial Artists who had just entered the Spirit Rank to cultivate it, they would have long since died without even their bones remaining.
One must know, during the Initial Spirit Test in Xingluo City, he had ranked second.
"To cultivate this strongest Ancient Scripture, of course one must pay a price!" Xiao Ye’s eyes burst forth with dazzling light, his Physical Body turning into a Dao Furnace, suppressing this Spirit Seed with his own body.
At the same time, the Cosmic Spiritual Energy drawn in by this Spirit Seed was repeatedly tempering his Physical Body, making his flesh and blood, internal organs, and bones all toughen to an inconceivable degree.
Time slowly passed; the strange Energy flowed by bit by bit, baptizing every inch of flesh and blood, causing his constitution to continually improve, his body growing ever stronger, actually gradually suppressing that Spirit Seed.
"So this is the ’Spiritual Sense’ possessed by Spirit Rank powerhouses?"
The Spirit Seed suddenly burst forth with a gentle Energy, rushing toward the space between Xiao Ye’s brows, shattering his Emperor’s Thought and replacing it with an ’Ocean’ closely connected to the Spirit Seed.
In that instant, Xiao Ye felt his Spiritual Sense increase drastically; his five senses became extremely sharp, and the Three Thousand Great Realms turned vivid before him.
This was the Spiritual Sense of Spirit Rank Martial Artists in the Three Thousand Great Realms, also the eyes of Spirit Rank Martial Artists, far more High-level than Emperor’s Thought, able to directly scan an Ancient Star.
"I’ve finally succeeded in condensing a Spirit Seed!"
Feeling the Spirit Seed within his body, Xiao Ye clenched his fists, and at once a boundless, terrifying strength surged forth, making him feel as if he could shatter a star.
Although he had only initially cultivated the Tai Chu Spirit Seed, he felt that his strength had actually increased by a large margin.
By this time, the Tao and Law of the Fusion Emperor had all disappeared; the Spirit Seed was now his all, capable of evolving Supreme Attack Techniques.
But likewise, if it weren’t for the Tao and Law of the Fusion Emperor, he probably wouldn’t have been able to meet the threshold of the Taichu Ancient Scripture and condense such a Spirit Seed.
It could be said that it was all the work of Fate.
"Although I am now only at the Initial Stage of Spirit Transformation, I feel that if I encounter Luo Xie again, I can easily defeat him!"
Xiao Ye stood up, his face full of confidence.
Through that mysterious man, Xiao Ye learned that the Spirit Rank was divided into three great Realms, corresponding respectively to planting the Spirit Seed, the Spirit Seed taking root, and the Spirit Seed blooming; once it bore Fruit, that would be becoming a Saint.
"Senior..."
But when he looked toward that mysterious man, he found the other’s face full of shock.
"You actually stepped onto this path and condensed the Tai Chu Spirit Seed."
"In the Three Thousand Great Realms, the Tai Chu Spirit Seed is recognized as a Top-grade Spirit Seed."
"Do you know how great a price is required for the Tai Chu Spirit Seed to take root and sprout, and ultimately bloom and bear Fruit?"
The mysterious man was silent for a long time before sighing.
The Taichu Ancient Scripture, though once the strongest Ancient Scripture among the Forbidden Ancient Clan, had been buried in dust in the Three Thousand Great Realms for too long; like that Forbidden Ancient Clan, it had already fallen into decline, even to the point of being forgotten.
That Xiao Ye could obtain the Taichu Ancient Scripture truly surprised him.
But what surprised him even more was that Xiao Ye had cultivated the Taichu Ancient Scripture and had entered so quickly, even planting the Tai Chu Spirit Seed.
Once one set foot on this path, there would be no turning back; one could not switch to cultivating other Ancient Scriptures or Spiritual Grade Cultivation Methods.
In response to this mysterious man’s reaction, Xiao Ye smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.
He believed that the Time Tower and the Taichu Ancient Scripture were absolutely closely connected.
If not for this mysterious man being at his side, he would definitely have probed the connection between the two.
"Forget it, since you’ve stepped onto this path, there is no point in me saying more. Ahead is the Spirit Capital of the Blue Demon Star Domain. With your current strength, you can already gain a foothold there. I’ll send you over."
After the mysterious man finished speaking, he took Xiao Ye and left this Ancient Star.
"The Spirit Capital of the Blue Demon Star Domain!"
In the cold, boundless Universe, vast swathes of nebulae surged, and countless Ancient Stars blossoming with Star Light appeared in Xiao Ye’s sight.
These Ancient Stars were far too numerous, densely packed together as if piled atop one another, forming an enormous Star Domain; any single Ancient Star was many times larger than those he had seen along the way.
Xiao Ye released his Spiritual Sense and immediately felt that within these Ancient Stars, the auras of Spirit Rank powerhouses were simply too many to count, like blazing suns suddenly appearing in the night, impossible to ignore.
Among them, there was even an aura terrifying to the extreme, entrenched within this Star Domain, like a Supreme among the Spirit Rank, unmatched, suppressing all directions and inspiring dread.
"Greetings, Lord Xuanlong!"
At this moment, a Spirit Rank powerhouse suddenly rushed over.
His figure was tall and imposing, his gaze deep; even his War Armor was a Spiritual Artifact. He clasped his fists in salute toward that mysterious man.
"This person is definitely stronger than the Star Luo City Lord!" Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted.
Although the Star Luo City Lord could not compare to the Blue Demon, he was still a Heavenly Spirit Realm powerhouse; yet now this even more terrifying Spirit Rank powerhouse was actually saluting this mysterious man. This person’s identity was truly frightening.
At the same time, Xiao Ye also engraved the name Xuanlong in his memory.
"Leng Ming, as a Law Enforcement Envoy under the Blue Demon, I now entrust this boy to you." The mysterious man, Xuanlong, exchanged a few words with this Spirit Rank powerhouse, then directly tore through the sky and departed.
"Senior!" Xiao Ye cried out in alarm.
This mysterious man had done him a great favor; before he had time to properly bid farewell, he had already left just like that?
"Brat, to receive the care of Lord Xuanlong is your good fortune."
"But I will not treat you specially, because to gain a foothold in the Spirit Capital, you must rely on yourself!"
"And now, let me see what qualifications you have to be personally escorted by Lord Xuanlong to the Spirit Capital!"
This Spirit Rank powerhouse let out a cold laugh and flew toward Xiao Ye.
"You want to test my strength?" Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed.
