King of Creation Chapter 1975 - 1960: Creating Opportunities
Previously on King of Creation...
For seven or eight consecutive days, Tu Mountain has been filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, making people dare not breathe.
The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, along with his group of wedding entourage, resides on another hill eight miles away from Hu Qingtong’s small courtyard.
An eight-mile distance might be considered a gap for ordinary people, but for Dao Realm experts, it’s essentially negligible.
Especially for the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits and his few Bear Clan Dao Realm subordinates, it takes merely the time of two breaths to charge into Hu Qingtong’s courtyard.
Under Ye Zhen and his group’s inattentiveness, two breaths are gone in the blink of an eye.
This proximity naturally makes the several Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan extremely tense, and the arrangement by the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, only intensifies the anxiety of the three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan.
The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, stationed three Bear Clan Dao Realms, one mile outside Hu Qingtong’s courtyard, monitoring Ye Zhen’s group from the sky and underground.
Claiming concern that Ye Zhen and his group might sneak away.
However, the intent is exceedingly malicious, and both the Fox Clan’s Supreme Elders and Ye Zhen’s group understand Xiong Cheng’s calculations.
The personnel he dispatched are watching Ye Zhen’s group day and night, essentially seeking opportunity.
Once Ye Zhen’s group shows any negligence, these Bear Clan Dao Realms would charge in without hesitation, kill Ye Zhen, abduct Hu Qingtong, and even Xiong Cheng, who is eight miles away, can arrive in two breaths to join the fray.
Under such circumstances, if they succeed, the three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan can only accept this outcome.
However, per the request of the Fox Clan’s Great Clan Leader, Tu Zheng, Ye Zhen may die at the hands of the Bear Clan, but Hu Qingtong absolutely cannot encounter any mishap.
Thus, once the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits made such arrangements, the three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan made their corresponding arrangements.
They stationed three Fox Clan Dao Realms around Hu Qingtong’s courtyard, whose target is closely monitoring the three Bear Clan Dao Realms.
Should there be any signs of attack from these Bear Clan Dao Realms, they would immediately intervene to prevent it.
At the same time, one of the three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan had to be chosen to constantly oversee the skies above Tu Mountain, to monitor the situation and be ready to intervene should the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits cause trouble.
This led to the formation of a tense standoff between the Bear Clan Dao Realms and the Fox Clan Dao Realms within Tu Mountain.
As long as Xiong Cheng insists on this plan and Ye Zhen does not leave Tu Mountain, they must keep watch.
Everyone is waiting.
All the Fox Clan is awaiting the return of the Great Clan Leader of Tu Mountain, only when the Great Clan Leader returns can the situation change, bringing hope for resolution.
As for the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, he impatiently awaits the return of the Ninth Elder, Hu Buding, only when Hu Buding is back can they secure internal support from the Fox Clan and carry out their secretly agreed plan.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhen’s group is waiting for their opportunity.
Compared to the tense confrontation between the Bear Clan wedding entourage and the Fox Clan Dao Realms, Ye Zhen’s group felt quite relaxed.
Hu Qingtong’s small courtyard by now is covered with countless intertwining vines of red and gray.
Since everyone knows Ye Zhen has a wood demon Dao Realm called Little Demon by his side, Ye Zhen decided to fully reveal its capabilities.
The vines used by Little Demon to weave into walls are called Candle Tear Vines, an ancient strange vine it spawned.
These Candle Tear Vines can somewhat weaken other’s Divine Soul power and attacks, but cannot completely isolate Divine Soul power. Its strongest ability is emitting warning sounds like crackling candles as soon as Divine Soul power is detected.
It can’t block Divine Sense power, but it can warn against it, which is extremely effective.
Over the past seven or eight days, the Candle Tear Vines have warned of over a hundred Divine Soul power intrusions. Initially, Ye Zhen had to use Divine Soul power to counterattack, but later, whenever the crackling candle sounds rang out like raindrops, the intruding Divine Soul power retreated on its own.
Peering unknowingly is referred to as spying, but once discovered, spying loses its value.
This directly led to a significant reduction in spying attempts by the Bear Clan Dao Realm in recent days.
With the Bear Clan Dao Realm Great Saint watched by the Fox Clan Dao Realms and Supreme Elders, coupled with warning capabilities of Candle Tear Vines, Ye Zhen’s group felt quite at ease.
With Little Demon keeping watch, even if the Bear Clan Dao Realm charges in, it would grant Ye Zhen’s group substantial reaction time.
Ye Zhen understands that opportunities are scarce in the early days.
Therefore, Ye Zhen simply let the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou, transfigure into Hu Qingtong’s likeness, while Ye Zhen left a Mirage Avatar.
The true body entered the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Sequential Space for cultivation, as for Hu Qingtong, besides experiencing the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s space, most of the time was spent accompanying the slightly bored Chi Ling’er.
No matter how varied the attempts made by the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, they were inherently simplistic.
This period, Ye Zhen entered the Mirage Dragon Pearl for cultivation, primarily aiming to enhance his strength.
Ye Zhen’s cultivation just broke through into the Realm King Realm, during this period with no barriers progress is rapid, each minor enhancement in strength boosts Ye Zhen’s confidence in confronting foes.
Therefore, Ye Zhen unhesitantly utilized his few Supreme Spirit Stones for cultivation, thanks to Ye Zhen’s powerful Primordial Spirit, the amount of Spiritual Power absorbed and refined in one day is ten times that of ordinary Martial Artists in the Realm King Realm.
With the Five Elements Refining God Pill crafted by the Shuili Dan King from various precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Ye Zhen’s one-day cultivation yields thirteen times the effect of ordinary Realm King Realm Martial Artists.
Besides this, to quickly enhance his cultivation, Ye Zhen indiscriminately allowed Little Demon to devour Spirit Stones converting them into Spiritual Power to inject into Ye Zhen’s body.
Little Demon can also absorb and refine the power within Spirit Stones, its pace dependent on the strength of Divine Soul, while Little Demon’s Divine Soul rests on Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit.
Therefore, theoretically, Little Demon’s speed in refining and absorbing Spirit Stones is comparable to that of Ye Zhen.
However, being from the Demon Race, a particularly unique type of Wood Demon in terms of meridians, Little Demon can simultaneously separate into countless vines to absorb and refine Spirit Stones.
Ye Zhen estimated the speed at which the Little Demon consumes Spirit Stones during refinement, roughly twice as fast as Ye Zhen himself.
That is, twenty times faster than an average Martial Artist of the Realm King Realm.
The Little Demon transforms the Spiritual Power of the Spirit Stone and delivers it to Ye Zhen, basically without any loss.
In this situation, Ye Zhen’s actual cultivation speed is thirty-three times that of an average early-stage Realm King Realm martial artist.
Ye Zhen cultivating for a day is equivalent to an average Realm King martial artist cultivating for over thirty-three days.
Moreover, Ye Zhen possesses the Temporal Sequence Space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Tenfold time sequence makes Ye Zhen’s cultivation speed incredibly astonishing.
This allows Ye Zhen to cultivate in the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Temporal Space for one day, equivalent to a normal Realm King martial artist cultivating for three hundred and thirty days.
Almost a year.
This speed, when Ye Zhen calculated it, astonished him.
He cultivates for one day which equates to an average early-stage Realm King martial artist cultivating for a year!
Of course, this is the result of Ye Zhen’s own cultivation resources, the Little Demon, and the combined effects of the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Temporal Sequence Space.
In this situation, Ye Zhen appears to have spent only seven or eight days cultivating, but in reality, Ye Zhen has already equated it to seven or eight years for a typical early-stage Realm King martial artist.
However, Ye Zhen’s cultivation only barely reached the early-stage of First Stage Realm King.
The main reason is Ye Zhen based his breakthrough on the foundation of the All Heavens Little World, the expansion of the Dark Palace has reached an astonishing degree, five to ten times that of an average martial artist breaking through to the Realm King Realm!
So, despite Ye Zhen currently only having cultivation at the early-stage of First Stage, his actual cultivation is already equivalent to that of a martial artist at the late Second Stage of the Realm King Realm.
Compared to his previous early-stage Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm, his strength has already increased nearly threefold.
The only pity for Ye Zhen is the corpse of Kai State Bear Clan Dao Realm Xiong Kaihou, there’s no opportunity for the Little Demon to devour it, the Great Saint of Giant Spirits took it away.
Otherwise, with the Little Demon’s devouring and transformation, it’s estimated Ye Zhen’s cultivation could directly soar to the peak of the First Stage Realm King Realm.
After his cultivation increased, Ye Zhen’s activation of several Acquired Spirit Treasures had already seen their power enhanced significantly.
Especially the Thunder Light Pearl, this Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Whip formed by fusing with the foundation of an Innate Spiritual Object, with Ye Zhen’s cultivation increasing, Ye Zhen has already come in contact with some new Thunder Element Dao Patterns and Laws.
If given time, Ye Zhen carefully comprehends them, he might be able to unleash stronger Thunder Technique Five Elements Mixed Divine Thunder than the current Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
Should the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder be casually thrown like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, even Dao Realm experts would suffer.
Unfortunately, what Ye Zhen lacks most now is time.
Firstly, he needs to escape, secondly, the rescue of Xuan Hu cannot be delayed too long, otherwise Xuan Hu might be at risk.
Thus, after just eight days of intense cultivation in the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Temporal Space, on the eighth night, Ye Zhen emerged from the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Temporal Space.
The first few days are undoubtedly the tensest and most focused days for both parties.
Ye Zhen considers that seeking opportunities in the first few days would be difficult.
This is also the reason why Ye Zhen intensely cultivated in the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Temporal Space over these days.
However, now with eight days having passed, both the Fox Clan and Bear Clan have relaxed due to the stalemate. Ye Zhen feels it’s time for him to seek opportunities.
Ye Zhen’s primary target naturally falls on Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao.
This is the key for Ye Zhen and his group to pass through the Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation and leave.
Utilizing the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, Ye Zhen stealthily reached the ground beneath the residence of Clan Leader Tu Zheng of the Fox Clan.
Carefully searching around the ground beneath Tu Zheng’s residence, Ye Zhen found no trace of Tu Zheng, seemingly the Clan Leader has truly left.
Shortly thereafter, Ye Zhen had a surprising discovery.
The two Fox Clan Dao Realms who have always guarded Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao reduced to one.
Through brief contact with Big Ears Nie Ting who’s been monitoring, Ye Zhen learned the reason.
The Great Saint of Giant Spirits has sent someone to keep a close watch on Ye Zhen these days, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao feels that even if Ye Zhen strategizes against him, there would be no chance.
With two Dao Realm uncles guarding him closely, Tu Jinggao himself finds many things inconvenient and also somewhat embarrassed.
Thus he intends to allow the two Dao Realm uncles to return, no longer guarding him closely.
However, these two dare not easily change the orders given by Clan Leader Tu Zheng.
Eventually, under Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao’s strong insistence, the Fox Clan Dao Realm that constantly protected him was reduced from two to one.
This change immediately let Ye Zhen sense an opportunity.
With two Dao Realms protecting Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao, Ye Zhen had no way to strategize.
But if only one Fox Clan Dao Realm guards, Ye Zhen has the opportunity to act.
Even if there’s no opportunity, with just one Dao Realm protecting, Ye Zhen can still create opportunities.
