The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3267 - 3262: Mid-stage of Heaven-separated Realm_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Yang Chen employs the Five Elements Laws to accelerate the ripening of the Nine Nether Emperor Grass, which expands visibly at a staggering pace, practically observable without aid.
By Yang Chen's calculation, maintaining this speed, the Nine Nether Emperor Grass should reach full maturity in under a month.
One factor is the scarcity of strong cultivators wielding the Wood Law, as it offers little aid in combat. Even among those who do, few experts focus solely on it, opting for alternative routes instead.
At the very least, Fairy Moon Fu and her companions lack it, so their ripening speed pales in comparison to his.
The sole drawback lies in his Five Elements Dao Intent not having fully transformed into a full Five Elements Laws yet. Consequently, the ripening power of his Five Elements Laws barely surpasses that of a complete Wood Law.
Naturally, the key factor is the Nine Nether Emperor Grass nearing its peak. If maturity counts as one hundred, this grass has likely achieved over ninety percent already.
Yet, upon hitting this stage, Fairy Moon Fu and the rest on Heavenly Melody Mountain were fully aware. Thus, they deliberately eased their efforts, preventing the Nine Nether Emperor Grass from ripening fully, which infuriated Mo Dao.
Currently, Yang Chen stands to gain the most from it.
With that, Yang Chen pushed relentlessly to speed up the Nine Nether Emperor Grass's maturation.
This acceleration continued for just over a month, aligning perfectly with Yang Chen's prediction.
After a month, thanks to Yang Chen's efforts, the Nine Nether Emperor Grass experienced a transformation unlike any before.
The grass suddenly bounced wildly, brimming with vibrant spirituality, displaying clear intent to flee.
Yang Chen remained unfazed, knowing that rarer Lingcao possess greater spirit. This ripened Nine Nether Emperor Grass exuded extraordinary vitality. Its fleeing velocity resembled a bolt of lightning, rivaling the pace of a typical Boundaryless cultivator.
"Hmm, that's impressive speed, but you'd better return to me without a fuss." A smirk tugged at Yang Chen's lips as he reached out and seized it, deploying the Space-Time Law to capture the Nine Nether Emperor Grass.
The Nine Nether Emperor Grass emitted a piercing shriek and struck back at Yang Chen instantly upon being grasped.
"It can even fight back?" Yang Chen found this amusing.
The Nine Nether Emperor Grass posed no threat to him. With a swift motion, he deflected its assault.
In the instant of the block, Yang Chen arched his brow, detecting a fascinating essence.
"Fascinating, this Nine Nether Emperor Grass's strike actually harbors the Death Law inside." Suddenly, Yang Chen remembered the Nine Nether God Flower he'd acquired in the Lingnan Two Realms years prior.
Upon reflection, this Nine Nether Emperor Grass bore striking resemblance to the Nine Nether God Flower from back then.
The main distinction was that this Nine Nether Emperor Grass had been nurtured in an elite setting for eons, rendering it far more valuable with essence beyond compare.
Legends claim the Nine Nether God Flowers blossom at the boundary of life and death, and this Nine Nether Emperor Grass appeared to be a kindred treasure.
"If that's the case, absorbing this Nine Nether Emperor Grass could vastly boost my Death Law. What purpose did Huan Ye Ming Wang have for expending so much on this grass? For himself? No, perhaps to curry favor with someone?" Yang Chen pondered aloud.
He remained unaware that his speculation hit close to the truth.
Regardless, Yang Chen paid no mind to such details. With the Nine Nether Emperor Grass now mature, his top priority was to refine it.
At this thought, Yang Chen wasted no time and commenced refining it right away. Such immediacy brought numerous benefits.
...
In this way, Yang Chen initiated the refinement of the Nine Nether Emperor Grass, a procedure that extended beyond ten days.
Over those ten days, Yang Chen's refinement proceeded without hitches. Upon completion, he perceived the wondrous impacts of the Nine Nether Emperor Grass.
As anticipated, his Death Law advanced significantly. This surge allowed the Law of Life and Death to coalesce fully into a unified law.
Yang Chen even sensed vaguely that relying on the Nine Nether Emperor Grass merely to form a complete law felt like squandering its potential.
Applying it toward grander aims could unlock the Nine Nether Emperor Grass's utmost potency.
That said, Yang Chen isn't one to chase excess, and the Nine Nether Emperor Grass aided more than just his Law of Life and Death's development.
Once fully absorbed, the surging Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi from the Nine Nether Emperor Grass propelled Yang Chen into the mid-stage of the Heaven-separated Realm.
Yang Chen drew in a profound breath, sensing his mid-stage Heaven-separated Realm power, and a contented grin spread across his face.
"Though the early, middle, and late stages of the Heaven-separated Realm don't differ greatly, advancing one's cultivation remains a boon." Yang Chen remarked.
Within the Heaven-separated Realm, the focus is on the level of detachment from Heavenly Dao. The stages—early, middle, late—measure the degree of that severance from Heavenly Dao.
Their separation from Heavenly Dao dictates prowess in Universal Starry Sky clashes. Such variances aren't overly pronounced.
It's routine for early-stage Heaven-separated Realm masters to slay those in late stages, and Yang Chen isn't the only one with such ability.
True disparities emerge in the Heavenly Fate Realm—each stage a world apart!
"Reaching the Heavenly Fate Realm sooner would let me utilize the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine and the Mountain and River Destruction Map from Senior Hua Qingfeng effectively!" Yang Chen mused.
At present, Yang Chen steadied his breath briefly and probed the surroundings.
"These mighty figures have truly arrived..." Yang Chen felt no shock.
With a scan of his divine soul, he spotted multiple Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses.
Yang Chen expected as much. Most of these experts sought the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine.
Yet, differing from earlier arrivals, these powerhouses seemed to have wised up, acting far more shrewdly than predecessors. They stayed composed, neither arrogant nor rushed, having heeded the prior warnings.
Observing their deference and patience, Yang Chen saw no reason to act superior, allowing the powerhouses to enter sequentially for their choices.
Yang Chen harbored no desire to hinder these experts, promptly accepting their proposals nearly across the board, distributing the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mines. Thus, the stockpile was nearly exhausted.
While it's impossible to please all and equip every powerhouse with Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mines, that's unavoidable given the limited supply.
Once distributed, the powerhouses departed, some joyful, others crestfallen. Yang Chen then focused on solidifying his cultivation further.
Yet, before he could savor these calm days for long, Ji Yue Shuang sought him out.
"Yang Chen, my master wishes to meet you—come out at once." Ji Yue Shuang called from the entrance without restraint.
Yang Chen knew well Ji Yue Shuang's audacious and direct nature. Hearing her call, he wouldn't dismiss her. He emerged promptly, showing mild astonishment: "Senior Wen Qi seeks me?"
