Chapter 1698 - 1681: The Law Hidden Within Heaven and Earth
Time flows like a river, quietly passing by.
Only one month remains until the day of the Spirit King Competition.
After a fierce scramble and turmoil, nearly all the geniuses who arrived at the Spirit Capital have been recruited by various forces of the city.
The situation has become clear, and we will see in a month’s time, which of the three Spirit King positions will fall into whose hands?
The Ancient Star of the Pan Family Territory.
"Alas, Xiao Ye has been in the ancestral land for more than half a year and has not appeared. I wonder how he is doing."
Above the heavenly dome, the Pan Family Master, Pan Lingtian, stood suspended in mid-air, gazing in the direction of the Pan Family’s ancestral land, a look of worry on his face.
There is no other way!
The entire situation in the Spirit Capital has become very complicated due to the Spirit King Competition, with powerful martial artists emerging one after another, even geniuses who have condensed mid-grade Spirit Seeds have consecutively appeared.
If Xiao Ye’s previously displayed strength could still surprise and excite him, now facing the current situation in the Spirit Capital, he feels only unease.
After all, their Pan Family has wagered everything on Xiao Ye.
Recently, Xiao Ye’s demand for Green Stone Milk has become increasingly alarming, defying common sense, forcing him to mobilize all the Green Stone Milk from the Pan Family.
If Xiao Ye ultimately misses out on the Spirit King Position, their situation would be far worse than it is now.
Even with a worried heart, Pan Lingtian does not dare to disturb Xiao Ye without permission.
"Father, don’t worry, I believe in Lord Xiao Ye!"
"If he hadn’t gained any insight into our Pan Family’s Ancient Spirit Rune Technique, he would have surely left the ancestral land long ago," comforted Pan Yun’er upon appearing.
"I hope so, after all, we no longer have the qualifications to recruit other geniuses."
"According to Xiao Ye’s requests, we need to deliver another batch of Green Stone Milk today," Pan Lingtian said bitterly.
In the barrenness of the Pan Family Territory.
On the solitary Zhuo Peak, there sat a young man in a black robe, cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation, resembling a mortal without any strong aura emanating from him, only the rhythmic sound of his breath echoing through the ancestral land like thunder.
Spirit Rank Martial Artists have broken free from Mortal Rank limitations, their bodies born with spiritual power, granting them longevity and physical capabilities beyond comparison to Mortal Rank Martial Artists.
Undoubtedly, this young man is Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye has been quietly cultivating in the Pan Family ancestral land for nearly a year.
At this moment, a group of martial artists wearing Pan Family attire entered, breaking the tranquility of the ancestral land.
"Damn it, this kid really thinks he’s the boss, making us deliver Green Stone Milk every time!"
"Surely this kid has no insight into our Pan Family’s Ancient Spirit Rune Technique, and just wants Green Stone Milk. I really don’t understand what the Family Master thinks, actually agreeing to it."
...
Upon seeing Xiao Ye, this group of Pan Family martial artists were instantly angered.
Although Green Stone Milk is indeed common, it depends on the circumstances.
For example, Xiao Ye’s current demand for Green Stone Milk is not only frequent but each time it reaches nearly a hundred times the requirement of an ordinary Spirit Transformation Martial Artist, so even the entire Pan Family struggles to supply it.
As a result, the amount of Green Stone Milk these Spirit Rank Martial Artists could obtain naturally reduced substantially.
How could they not target Xiao Ye?
"Hmph, with so many geniuses in the Spirit Capital now, I’m starting to suspect he might not even touch the Spirit King Position, let me test him, if his strength is too weak, I’ll have the Family Master expel him!"
At this moment, a grim-faced Pan Family martial artist stepped out, rushing towards Zhuo Peak.
"Hmm?"
This grim-faced martial artist, a late-stage Spirit Transformation expert, found his complexion suddenly changed as he approached Zhuo Peak.
Although Xiao Ye was clearly in front of him, it was as if they were in different dimensions; no matter how he flew, he could not ascend Zhuo Peak.
This bizarre sensation made him feel as if he wanted to vomit blood out of frustration.
"What...what’s going on?"
"Our Pan Family’s ancestral land clearly has no Arrays!"
This martial artist was shocked, his Spirit Seed trembled slightly, bursting with abundant spiritual power, shaking the ancestral land, yet still he could not ascend that Lonely Peak.
"Pan Tong, what’s the matter with you? Aren’t you going to teach that kid a lesson?"
"If you don’t dare, let me handle it!"
...
The voices of companions came distantly from behind, causing this Spirit Rank martial artist to grit his teeth, preparing to activate his Spiritual Technique, when suddenly his pupils contracted, his face full of disbelief.
The void around him was turbulent, with ten inconspicuous Divine Patterns manifesting, forming a natural barrier between him and Zhuo Peak, preventing him from approaching.
"Spiritual Power Patterning?"
"This is our Pan Family’s Ancient Spirit Rune Technique!"
This Spirit Rank Martial Artist cried out in shock.
At the same time—
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Xiao Ye on Zhuo Peak opened his eyes, and the ten Spirit Runes in the void revived like Divine Patterns, their radiance dazzling, erupting with endless power sweeping forth, causing this Spirit Rank Martial Artist to let out a miserable scream, and be blown away while spurting blood.
This scene stunned the group of distant Pan Family martial artists.
Good heavens!
Could it be that Xiao Ye has really mastered the Pan Family’s Ancient Spirit Rune Technique?
After all, even the Blue Demon King sat for ten years to no avail!
"No wonder the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique that shook the Blue Demon Star Domain has such power at merely ten patterns; achieving ten thousand or even ten thousand patterns, destroying a star domain indeed wouldn’t be a problem."
Xiao Ye rose to his feet, a smile on his face, scanning the surroundings.
"If not for me harnessing the Time Tower’s ability to alter time’s passing, I probably wouldn’t have discovered the secrets of the Pan Family Territory."
"No wonder for so many years, no one has been able to demonstrate the prowess of this spiritual technique." Xiao Ye mused to himself.
This barren land is not as mundane as it appears, with each flower, grass, and stone subtly changing over time, barely perceptible, the process quick.
And the subtle trajectory of these changes, when pieced together, forms the content of the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique.
How vast is this desolate land?
It occupies nearly one-fifth of this Ancient Star’s territory; comprehending all moving tracks simultaneously is beyond even the Blue Demon King.
If the comprehension is shallow, the power is naturally ordinary; hence, as the Family Master said, a thousand individuals have a thousand different interpretations of the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique.
After discovering this, Xiao Ye simply stayed here to meditate, while employing the Time Tower to adjust the speed of time here, bit by bit deciphering, thus gradually mastering the complete Ancient Spirit Rune Technique.
"The Law hidden within Heaven and Earth is indeed a terrifying spiritual art." Xiao Ye commented.
At this moment—
Boom!
An incomparably terrifying momentum swept horizontally across, causing the Ancient Star to violently tremble.
"I’ve heard of the Pan Family possessing a supreme spiritual technique; I’ve come traversing the void, wishing to borrow it before the Spirit King Competition begins." Soon after, a calm voice came from the vast universe, resonating on the Ancient Star.
