The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3172 - 3167: Triple Destiny of Heaven_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
"I had originally intended to remain in this blessed land of Bi Shuangxing to further my cultivation, but it appears some matters have arisen in the outside world..."
It was a sound transmission from the exterior that had forced him to halt his meditative state.
At this moment, Han Bo, Ji Yue Shuang, Lin Tian Yi, and the others were already gathered and waiting for him.
Without any delay, Yang Chen rose, pushed open the doors, and stepped outside.
"Brother Yang Chen, you... you have actually reached the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm." Han Bo’s gaze was sharp as a torch; he was visibly shaken to see Yang Chen’s cultivation level transform so significantly in such a short time.
"I was fortunate enough to make a breakthrough, thanks to those ores and the insights gained from defeating Xuan Zhen," Yang Chen replied with a faint smile.
Both Han Bo and Lin Tianyi looked on with envy, knowing that the chance to refine a Royal Spirit God was a rare fortune.
Even as experts of the Sky Separation Realm, they could only dream of such an opportunity.
Regrettably, their own strength was insufficient, leaving them with nothing but admiration.
"On another note, what urgent matter forced the two seniors to interrupt my cultivation?" Yang Chen inquired, his curiosity piqued.
"It is a complicated situation. We should keep it brief for now. Brother Yang Chen, please, let us discuss this further inside," Han Bo suggested, gesturing for him to follow.
Though puzzled, Yang Chen kept his composure and followed the three of them closely.
Moments later, the group arrived at a small pavilion.
With great courtesy, Han Bo and Lin Tianyi invited Yang Chen to take his seat.
Once everyone was settled, Han Bo spoke with a grave expression, "Brother Yang Chen, it concerns the Liuli Mine. An incident occurred there not long ago."
"What sort of incident?" Yang Chen asked calmly, his face betraying no emotion. "Surely there hasn't been an accident at the Liuli Mine?"
"No, not an accident exactly. To put it simply, a 'Sky Cave' exists within the Liuli Mine region. This cavern descends into the deepest subterranean reaches of Bi Shuangxing..." Han Bo explained after a moment of deliberation.
"The depths of Bi Shuangxing? What lies down there?" Yang Chen was momentarily stunned. "And what is the link between this Sky Cave and the Liuli Mine?"
Han Bo and Lin Tianyi traded looks, realizing the explanation would be tedious.
However, they had already prepared their explanation. In response to Yang Chen's inquiry, Han Bo stated, "If we are to be precise, the reason this Star Domain Interface of Bi Shuangxing is so unique likely originates from deep beneath its surface."
Yang Chen paused, "What exactly is hidden down there?"
"That remains a mystery. Bi Shuangxing has existed through several historical eras, and this isn't the first time the Sky Cave in the Liuli Mine has opened. It has surfaced several times in history, though the gaps between appearances are immense. Each time it opens, it stays accessible for only about three months. Once that time passes, it seals shut. Any cultivators who fail to exit the Sky Cave in time are trapped forever inside," Han Bo revealed.
"If that is the case, hasn't anyone ever conducted a thorough investigation to find out what makes Bi Shuangxing so special?" Yang Chen questioned.
"Nothing has ever been discovered. Logically, the source of Bi Shuangxing's uniqueness should be deep underground, but countless searches have yielded no clues. Eventually, everyone just gave up," Han Bo said with a bitter laugh.
Yang Chen felt confused. "If that's the case, there shouldn't be much interest in the Sky Cave. A mere mystery shouldn't be enough to drive people to go out of their way like this."
"If it weren't for the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, most people would likely agree with you, Brother Yang Chen. However, deep under Bi Shuangxing lies a type of ore known as the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, the most esteemed treasure of this entire world. It is because of this prize that every opening of the Sky Cave triggers a violent struggle," Han Bo clarified.
"Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine?" Yang Chen was genuinely surprised. "What kind of treasure is that?"
"The Liuli Mine found in the cave is actually a variation of the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, but it is the type that grows on the surface. Only the subterranean environment allows the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine to reach its full potential. The ores found deep underground provide the most perfect effects due to the unique conditions there. As for the common Liuli Mine found on the surface, its potency is likely less than one percent of the perfect version," Lin Tianyi chimed in.
Yang Chen was struck by the realization. "So, the Sky Cave exists in the Liuli Mine because of the connection between these different grades of ore?"
"That is the most likely reason, though the cause matters less than the fact that the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine is an essential treasure for us cultivators," Han Bo sighed, a flicker of longing appearing in his eyes.
"What exactly is the nature of this Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine?" Yang Chen asked. "What does it actually do?"
Han Bo thought for a moment before answering, "Brother Yang Chen, to truly understand the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, one must first understand the Heaven-appointed Realm. How much do you know of that level?"
"Very little," Yang Chen admitted honestly.
"It is understandable that someone as young as you wouldn't know much about the Heaven-appointed Realm. However, you should be aware that it is the realm of world creation," Han Bo spoke with a mix of awe and passion. "This stage completely transcends the limits of the Heavenly Dao, allowing one to manipulate laws and establish an entire world. It grants control over world power and far exceeds the Leaving Realm."
Yang Chen nodded, as he was already aware of these basic facts.
"But are you aware, Brother Yang Chen, that not every expert in the Heaven-appointed Realm possesses their own independent world? Most have only just moved beyond the Heavenly Dao, and only a fraction have even managed to form a world embryo. Only a select few can truly use laws to manifest a complete world," Han Bo explained.
"How does this relate to the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine?" Yang Chen pressed.
Han Bo gave a small, knowing smile. "Do you realize how difficult it is to build a world? Forget a full world—simply nurturing a world embryo can consume the entire lifespan of a Heaven-appointed Realm expert."
"It is truly that difficult?" Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed.
"How else could it be? The gap between experts in the Heavenly Fate Realm is staggering. Those with a world embryo and those without exist on entirely different planes. Because cultivating one is as difficult as ascending to the heavens, many experts will spend their life's fortune to buy one, or even risk their lives to steal a world embryo from another," Han Bo said.
"But if those without an embryo are on a lower level, how would they even dare to challenge those who have one?" Yang Chen wondered aloud.
"That is true, but without taking that risk, many in the Heavenly Fate Realm will never achieve a world embryo. Faced with the choice of remaining stagnant forever or gambling for a chance at greatness, many choose to roll the dice," Han Bo said, shaking his head with a faint smile.
