King of Creation Chapter 1691: 1676: A New Heaven-Defying Ability?

Upon delving his divine sense into the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen’s expression flickered with a trace of bewilderment.

The Fifth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier of the Mirage Dragon Pearl had indeed vanished. However, at the fringes of the space, a Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier, resembling crystalline stones and shimmering with profound Dao Pattern Laws, became visible.

Even a mere glimpse of this barrier induced a profound sense of powerlessness in Ye Zhen, akin to an ant gazing upon Mount Tai or a mayfly towards a colossal tree. It felt as though a lifetime of effort would be insufficient to even budge this formidable barrier. For a fleeting moment, Ye Zhen’s Dao heart and martial arts spirit faltered.

This unexpected tremor in his normally steadfast martial arts heart startled Ye Zhen. He pondered, just how potent was this Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier?

How terrifying was its might?

Yet, this feeling was transient. Soon after, an immense surge of confidence flooded Ye Zhen.

While an ant might never move Mount Tai, what if that ant were to evolve into a lion, a tiger, or even a behemoth?

Ye Zhen held a firm conviction: with persistent growth and unwavering determination, a day would inevitably arrive when he could shatter the Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier.

Regaining his composure, Ye Zhen commenced an examination of the internal transformations within the Mirage Dragon Pearl subsequent to overcoming the Fifth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier.

The internal spatial dimensions had expanded exponentially, by more than a hundredfold, compared to their prior state. While the most critical inner sanctum, housing the Essence Spirit Pearls, remained largely unchanged, the storage area, previously confined to a ten-mile radius, had seen a dramatic increase in available space.

The substantial collection of spirit stones, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, alongside the Spirit Void Fruit Tree Ye Zhen had stored within, had already occupied over half of the original ten-mile expanse. But now, following the breach of the Fifth Stage barrier, the once nearly-filled space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl felt astonishingly vast.

A radius of a thousand miles. The internal domain of the Mirage Dragon Pearl now boasted a thousand-mile radius, sufficient not only for vast supplies but also for the accommodation of entire mountain ranges.

Despite this significant change, Ye Zhen found himself puzzled by the lack of other discernible alterations. Beyond the sheer increase in spatial volume, the Mirage Dragon Pearl appeared no different after surpassing the Fifth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier.

Nevertheless, Ye Zhen was well aware that the unique abilities conferred by the Mirage Dragon Pearl upon breaking through each spatial sealing barrier were not immediately apparent through mere divine sense immersion. Their discovery necessitated practical experience and diligent application.

Thus, Ye Zhen remained unhurried. He continued to focus his divine sense inward, embarking on a period of careful observation and experience.

This phase of introspection extended for nearly an entire day. Perhaps due to prior investigations, the individuals from the Heavenly Temple, spearheaded by Grand Divine Master Shouhui, displayed a lessened intensity in their surveillance of Ye Zhen.

As previously recounted by Big Ears Nie Ting, the vicinity of the posthouse had once been guarded by no fewer than three Grand Divine Masters. Now, two had departed, leaving only Grand Divine Master Shouhui in overt watch. Furthermore, the numbers of Divine Masters, members of the Heavenly Patrol Department, and the Imperial Guard had been halved, significantly reducing the overall scrutiny.

This eased surveillance allowed Ye Zhen the freedom to explore the ramifications of surpassing the Fifth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, eager to uncover any newfound heaven-defying abilities. However, after a full day of experimentation, encompassing nearly every conceivable application of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen remained unsuccessful in discovering any new capabilities.

In essence, up to this point, aside from the enlarged spatial dimensions and the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou’s newfound freedom to roam within a hundred-mile radius of Ye Zhen, no other changes were evident. And that mischievous Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou, had vanished without a trace the moment stability was achieved.

Having been confined within the Mirage Dragon Pearl for an immeasurable duration, it now reveled in its first taste of the outside world’s freedom, behaving with unrestrained abandon. Ye Zhen could only vaguely ascertain its location, and Big Ears' innate divine ability proved ineffective against it. Nonetheless, Big Ears could detect other sounds, and wherever the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou ventured, chaos inevitably followed.

In the span of a single day, at least a hundred peculiar disturbances erupted in Luoyi, with over thirty incidents directly involving women.

Whether it was an inexplicable creature slithering into a girl’s skirt—only to vanish after her startled cry—or vats in a mansion’s wine cellar mysteriously shattering, or a noblewoman in a hot spring at a Duke’s Mansion suddenly perceiving a shadowy figure beneath the water…

Ye Zhen surmised that the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou, was implicated in most of Luoyi’s peculiar incidents today.

Knowing that Achou had been driven to desperation by its confinement, Ye Zhen, despite his impatience, had tried summoning it multiple times without success.

Furthermore, these strange occurrences had repeatedly drawn the attention of the Heavenly Patrol Department. Who could tell if some powerful cultivator might uncover Achou’s existence?

Consequently, Ye Zhen unleashed the Heavenly Thunder of Fright upon the residual trace of the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou left within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Within a Prince’s Mansion in Luoyi, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, presently mingling with dancers on the ballroom floor, abruptly emitted a mournful wail.

This anguunted cry halted the music, plunging the entire Prince’s Mansion into a state of alarm. Numerous experts immediately swarmed the hall, conducting a search as thorough as if they were excavating the earth.

This exhaustive search persisted throughout the night. Even the bewildered dancers were subjected to interrogation, yet the culprit, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, had already long since reappeared within Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl.

“You, Lord Ye! Has breaking through the Fifth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier of the Mirage Dragon Pearl granted you heaven-defying abilities? My word, you truly can’t be this dense! After all this time, you still haven’t grasped the abilities acquired from breaching the Fifth Stage Spatial Sealing?”

“You are simply… you need to keep experiencing things yourself…”

Achou’s words were laced with deep reluctance. It had been a rare opportunity to finally venture beyond the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and before it could savor its freedom, Ye Zhen had abruptly recalled it.

Listening to the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou’s grumbling, Ye Zhen’s countenance turned somewhat pale. “If you dare to keep me guessing, even if you can roam freely within a hundred-mile radius of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, you can forget about ever leaving it again from this point forward.”

“You damnable…” The impolite retort from the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou was abruptly silenced as it prudently chose to hold its tongue. “Actually, concerning the new Heaven-Defying Divine Power attained subsequent to the Fifth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier’s rupture, you can clearly experience it yourself once you enter the Mirage Dragon Pearl.”

Achou understood Ye Zhen’s temperament all too well and, seeing his mounting anger, dared not withhold any crucial information.

A hint of bewilderment touched Ye Zhen. “The Mirage Dragon Pearl resides within my body. How do you expect me to enter it? Is that even feasible?”

Upon hearing this, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou pressed a hand to its forehead, emitting a pained sigh. “Lord Ye, might you consider employing a different method to perceive the Mirage Dragon Pearl, rather than immediately projecting your Divine Sense directly into it?”

“Not directly projecting my Divine Sense into the Mirage Dragon Pearl… you mean…”

Ye Zhen’s comprehension dawned swiftly. In the ensuing moment, he subtly shifted his Divine Sense, directing it towards the Mirage Dragon Pearl situated at the Danzhong Acupoint on his chest.

This time, Ye Zhen observed the entirety of the Mirage Dragon Pearl from an external vantage point using his Divine Sense, deviating from his previous practice of immersing his consciousness directly within its confines.

Yet, an external observation of the Mirage Dragon Pearl yielded no immediate revelations.

Hmm?

No, hold on!

Ye Zhen promptly detected an anomaly.

Previously, the Mirage Dragon Pearl remained perpetually fixed at Ye Zhen’s Danzhong Acupoint, incapable of movement. However, under the scope of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense, the Mirage Dragon Pearl now exuded an enhanced agility.

The sensation was akin to an immovably buried stele, deeply entombed underground, now imbued with a vibrant energy.

It felt as though, with a mere whim of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense, it could ascend from its depths.

“Are you implying that the Mirage Dragon Pearl, much like yourself, can now depart from my body?” Ye Zhen inquired, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Hearing this, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou placed a hand over its forehead, its demeanor suggesting an inability to bear witness.

If the Mirage Dragon Pearl possessed the capability to exit Ye Zhen’s body, then Ye Zhen’s ability to enter it would indeed become a tangible possibility.

However, at this juncture, still under the watchful eyes of others, Ye Zhen dared not act overtly.

Fortunately, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou could now move at will. With the Grand Divine Master and the Divine Masters from the underground gone, Achou swiftly employed Ancient Mirage Qi to conjure an illusion of Ye Zhen still deep in cultivation. Meanwhile, Ye Zhen himself slipped unnoticed into the earth, identified a concealed pocket of space, and delicately manipulated his Divine Sense.

The very next instant, Ye Zhen found himself materialized within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

The expansive, desolate interior, where the mountain-like deposits of materials Ye Zhen had previously stored now appeared utterly minuscule.

“What exactly is this Heaven-Defying Divine Power?” Ye Zhen murmured, his senses carefully probing his surroundings.

However, after an hour or two of futile searching, Ye Zhen grew increasingly exasperated.

This frustration boiled over into anger.

Raising the Heavenly Thunder of Fright in his grasp, he bellowed at the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou, “Tell me what this Heaven-Defying Divine Power is, immediately! If you don’t, I swear I’ll strike you a hundred times with my Heavenly Thunder of Fright today, and if I don’t, my name isn’t Ye!”

Achou, visibly shaken by Ye Zhen’s intimidating display, quickly responded, “Explaining it directly won’t be as clear as what Lord Ye can experience for himself.

If you cultivate within this place for ten hours, you will come to understand.”

“Cultivate for ten hours? It’s related to cultivation?”

Ye Zhen knitted his brows. “But I only rested for an hour earlier, and I didn’t notice any changes. I still needed Spirit Stones and Psychic Spirit Pills for my cultivation.”

“It’s absolutely true, Lord Ye, just cultivate and you will know.”

Witnessing the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou, earnestly patting its chest for assurance, Ye Zhen let out a cold smirk and gave a nod. “I’ll believe you this one time. But if, after cultivating, I still haven’t discovered the Heaven-Defying Divine Power of this Mirage Dragon Pearl, and I consequently fail to strike you a hundred times with my Heavenly Thunder of Fright, then I won’t be called Ye!”

“Rest assured, there will be absolutely no issue.”

In the blink of an eye, ten hours elapsed.

As the cultivation session concluded, Ye Zhen’s face was set in a frosty grimace. With the Heavenly Thunder of Fright in hand, he roared in anger, “Achou, you truly have the audacity to try and fool me! If I don’t….”

“Outside, Lord Ye! Go to the surface outside, and the moment you depart the Mirage Dragon Pearl, you shall see!” Achou’s voice trembled with fear as it noticed Ye Zhen preparing to take serious action.

“Outside?”

In the very next instant, Ye Zhen exited the Mirage Dragon Pearl and returned to the surface at the posthouse. A single glance outside left him utterly stunned!

His face and eyes were filled with an expression of pure disbelief!
