King of Creation Chapter 1731 - 1716: The Kitten’s Transformation

Half a year swiftly slipped by, and the five-year deadline decreed by Emperor Ren Ji Long was drawing perilously close.

The administrators responsible for North Sea County’s affairs also found themselves growing increasingly anxious. Not only were they diligently fulfilling Ye Zhen’s previous directives, but they had also commenced crucial preparations.

A palpable tension began to pervade the entirety of North Sea County and its adjacent territories. Ye Zhen found it necessary to emerge from the Mirage Dragon Pearl for an hour each day, dedicating this time to meticulously review the influx of documents and jade scrolls dispatched from North Sea County.

After all, numerous military operations necessitated the official seal of Ye Zhen, the Wind Patrol Envoy and a third-class Earl.

As the saying goes, paramount authority and official seals cannot be delegated. While Ye Zhen placed immense trust in Liuu Feng, Gu Tieqi, Governor Qiao Fu, and County Captain Tang Biao, he personally retained the custody of his seal.

This demanding routine persisted for merely ten days before Ye Zhen made the decisive call to depart from Xiansheng Water Mansion and revert to North Sea County.

With the five-year period looming, he couldn't be certain what clandestine maneuvers West Patrol Xio Qiangu might attempt. To err on the side of caution, Ye Zhen concluded that his presence back in North Sea County was essential for direct oversight.

Ye Zhen harbored a belief that his demanding cultivation journey would reach its conclusion at this juncture.

Unexpectedly, while merely six months had transcurred in the outside world, a full five years had elapsed within the confines of the Mirage Dragon Pearl. These extraordinary cultivation outcomes left the Sky Wing Three Saints reluctant to depart.

The primary catalyst for their reluctance was the significant enhancement of their cultivation, a feat achieved not solely through the temporal acceleration under the influence of Temporal Power, but also due to uninterrupted, focused cultivation bolstered by an abundance of superior resources.

The results of their cultivation this time were nothing short of astonishing.

They had become thoroughly engrossed in their practice.

The most dramatic leap in Cultivation belonged to the Great Sage of Overturning Sea, a member of the Sky Wing Three Saints. As a being from the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Blood Golden Pill, meticulously crafted from Dragon Clan Blood Essence, proved exceptionally potent for him.

Within this five-year span, his Cultivation first ascended to the pinnacle of the Ninth Stage of the Divine Communication Realm, subsequently transitioning smoothly into the Dark Palace Realm. His current Cultivation is now situated at the late stage of the Fourth Stage of the Dark Palace Realm.

Through the continuous ingestion of Dragon Blood Golden Pills, synthesized from True Dragon Essence Blood and Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood, the Great Sage of Overturning Sea’s bloodline underwent a process of steady refinement and elevation.

Furthermore, Ye Zhen consistently supplied him with Spirit Void Fruit, at a rate of no less than ten fruits daily, thereby elevating the Great Sage of Overturning Sea’s bloodline to an astonishingly advanced level.

Initially, within a single year, his bloodline progressed from the Horned Dragon stage to the Ying Dragon stage. Over the subsequent four years, not only did a third claw materialize beneath his abdomen, but the flesh stump of his fourth claw achieved near perfection.

The Great Sage of Overturning Sea was on the precipice of transforming into a True Dragon.

A Four-clawed True Dragon!

Consider that the Blue-scaled Dragon King, who had reigned for three millennia over the Blue-scaled Dragon Palace, was merely a Five-clawed True Dragon.

Next in line was the Cultivation of the Great Saint of Jinghai, whose progress was only marginally less impressive than the Great Sage of Overturning Sea, currently residing at the middle stage of the Fourth Stage of the Dark Palace Realm.

It was evident that the Great Saint of Jinghai’s bloodline was also experiencing significant power augmentation; his true form had elongated to an awe-inspiring ten thousand meters, radiating immense majesty.

The most enigmatic of the three was the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking, whose ever-multiplying tentacles began to exhibit a golden hue. His true body possessed exceptional resilience, reaching a point where even Ye Zhen’s Purple Spirit Immortal Sword struggled to sever it completely with a single strike.

His Cultivation had also advanced to the early stage of the Fourth Stage of the Dark Palace Realm.

In comparison, the Cultivation advancement of Senior Sister Liao Feibai did not match the meteoric rise of the Sky Wing Three Saints.

Her Cultivation had narrowly surpassed the late stage of the Ninth Stage of the Divinity Realm. Nevertheless, even with the Sky Wing Three Saints having attained the Dark Palace Realm, none dared to engage in sparring with Liao Feibai.

The reason was simple: Ye Zhen had not remained idle during these five years, beyond his personal Cultivation pursuits.

Through his dedicated efforts, he had successfully forged nine high-grade suppressing devices!

The Profound Ice Immortal Sword, held by Senior Sister Liao Feibai, was further augmented by Ye Zhen with a profusion of materials, forcibly elevating its rank to that of a supreme suppressing artifact!

Perhaps the rapid surge in Cultivation achieved over the past six months had fostered a subtle addiction.

Upon hearing Ye Zhen's intention to depart Xiansheng Water Mansion and return to North Sea County, the Sky Wing Three Saints and Liao Feibai simultaneously expressed their eagerness to accompany him, intending to harness the Temporal Power for their cultivation.

Ye Zhen voiced his surprise at their proposal, questioning the fate of the Water Mansions and the Dulong Island Market should any trouble arise without the oversight of powerful experts.

“Fourth Brother, have no concern. The affairs of the several Water Mansions have been meticulously arranged, with Black Wolf and Military Advisor Wen taking charge of their management. Even if we were to be away for a year or half a year, no significant issues would arise. Furthermore, Fourth Brother may not be aware, but I have recently unlocked another innate divine ability,” the Great Saint of Jinghai announced.

“Oh? Big Brother has attained a new innate divine ability?” Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly sharpened with keen interest.

“It’s not truly divine, rather it’s called Water and Sky Connect. It’s essentially a secret technique designed for rapid underwater transit. In essence, when fully unleashed, it can cover ten thousand miles in the blink of an eye!” the Great Saint of Jinghai elucidated.

“Ten thousand miles in the blink of an eye?”

Ye Zhen’s pupils contracted sharply; such speed could only be described as terrifying! This level of speed would render the Great Saint of Jinghai virtually undefeated while in water.

“That’s the speed achievable in a dire situation. With my current cultivation, I can employ it a maximum of three times before becoming completely exhausted. However, if the speed is reduced by more than tenfold, I can sustain this Water and Sky Connect divine ability for a duration of fifteen minutes,” the Great Saint of Jinghai further explained.

Ye Zhen’s gaze shifted thoughtfully, “Fifteen minutes, doesn’t that imply one could potentially evade over a million miles in that time?”

“Mm, approximately. Moreover, should I scale back the speed by a hundredfold, I can maintain this pace for an entire day! North Sea County is situated only about three million miles from Xiansheng Water Mansion, and numerous waterways offer direct passage via water routes. Consequently, in urgent circumstances, and disregarding the energy expenditure, I could reach Xiansheng Water Mansion from North Sea County in a mere four to five hours,” the Great Saint of Jinghai stated.

Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed slightly, “Big Brother’s divine ability is indeed impressive, but in the event of an emergency, such rapid travel would incur a substantial energy cost, leaving you with little combat power, wouldn’t it?”

The Great Saint of Jinghai chuckled, “Could Fourth Brother have forgotten my Whale Swallow technique coupled with the Inner World?”

Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly lit up, “You’re suggesting you can ferry others along while utilizing this Water and Sky Connect divine ability!”

“Precisely, even transporting a hundred thousand individuals presents no issue!”

“That is marvelous!”

Ye Zhen’s fist thumped the air exuberantly, “If that’s the case, with Big Brother’s innate divine ability, North Sea County and Xiansheng Water Mansion can provide mutual support.”

“I reached the same conclusion!” the Great Saint of Jinghai enthusiastically concurred.

“If this is settled, then there are no further impediments. My brothers and Senior Sister can reside permanently in North Sea County without any reservations.”

Approximately half an hour later, Ye Zhen embarked on his solitary journey from Xiansheng Water Mansion.

“All operations are to follow Military Advisor Wen’s directives, with Black Wolf leading the military defense. Remember, should drastic changes occur, both the Market of Dulong Island and Huaifeng Water Palace may be abandoned. However, Xiansheng Water Mansion must be defended at all costs. Furthermore, provided the defense holds for more than half a day, reinforcements are guaranteed to arrive!” These were Ye Zhen’s final instructions before his departure.

“Understood!” Wen Fuguo acknowledged with a nod, while Black Wolf executed a silent military salute befitting the Demon Soul Army, “I shall adhere strictly to the Grand Marshal’s orders!”

Following their departure from Xiansheng Water Mansion, Ye Zhen and his companions conducted a test of the Great Saint of Jinghai’s Water and Sky Connect divine ability. Its swiftness was undeniably incredible.

Regrettably, owing to the Great Saint of Jinghai’s current cultivation level, he could only sustain such extreme speed for a mere three breaths. Otherwise, with that speed alone, he would be virtually invincible.

Subsequently, whether it were the Sky Wing Three Saints or Liao Feibai, they all entered the Mirage Dragon Pearl to commence their cultivation. Simultaneously, Ye Zhen extended his divine sense to awaken the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, who had been in secluded cultivation within the Mirage Dragon Pearl all along.

While Ye Zhen immersed himself in cultivating with the temporal power of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Xiaomao had also remained diligently active. The kitten had been continuously ingesting True Dragon Essence Blood and the Spirit Void Fruit Spirit.
