Chapter 622: Chapter 615: Immortal Realm Spiritual Veins

In Spirit Academy No. 100, a Shattered Jade Seal exuding a terrifying aura spun chaotically. Its intimidating presence frightened the maid Du Juan, who dared not leave the safety of the kitchen.

Ye Zhen carefully controlled the Shattered Jade Seal while sinking his Divine Sense into the Sword Heart Enlightenment of the First Sword Vein, entering the state of Sword Heart Enlightenment to keenly sense the changes within the Shattered Jade Seal.

By now, it had been the third day since Ye Zhen’s Cultivation broke through to the mid-stage Fifth Realm of the Soul Sea, with only one day left – tomorrow, Ye Zhen would attend the Spirit Returning Assembly.

In the three days following his breakthrough, Ye Zhen seized every moment to adapt to his dramatically increased Cultivation in order to truly harness the combat power of the late-stage Fifth Realm of the Soul Sea.

As for his right arm, it had completely healed the day before his Cultivation reached the late-stage Fifth Realm of the Soul Sea, mainly thanks to taking the Yin Yang Pulse Building Pill.

Now, Ye Zhen could distinctly feel the enhancement of the Shattered Jade Seal’s power, although he had no way to verify it for the time being. However, he estimated that its power had increased by at least twenty percent.

This twenty percent enhancement was not to be underestimated.

Before this, Ye Zhen’s Shattered Jade Seal couldn’t kill Sang Boquan, but with this enhancement, perhaps one strike could now be fatal, or if not, it would at least cause severe injury.

Not only the Shattered Jade Seal’s power increased, but Ye Zhen’s overall combat strength improved - the power of any Martial Skill he performed with his Purple Spirit Power had increased.

That included the killing move Heart Sword of the First Sword Vein’s Sword Heart Enlightenment, which also surged by twenty percent due to the frenzied climb in Cultivation.

What comforted Ye Zhen the most was the improvement in the power of his Purple Jade Spirit Armor.

After his Cultivation broke through to the late-stage Fifth Realm of the Soul Sea, within just three days, Ye Zhen found that the Purple Jade Spirit Armor he condensed was more meticulous and dense – mainly because of the enhancement and compression of the quality of his Purple Spirit Power.

The elevation of a Martial Artist’s Cultivation naturally compresses the existing Spiritual Power, making it more dense. It is a natural tempering, like water under pressure; the deeper the water, the greater the pressure.

This natural result is also one of the reasons why higher Cultivation leads to stronger combat power.

A stream of purple light suddenly descended from the sky, and just as it was about to enter Ye Zhen’s courtyard, it abruptly paused. As the purple light intensified, it hovered in the air, revealing the figure of Fengh Qingyue.

"Ye Zhen, what’s this? Are you planning to murder your Hall Master?" Fengh Qingyue’s questioning voice carried a hint of jest, but her pretty face was filled with shock.

She hadn’t expected the terrifying seal to be tumbling around in Ye Zhen’s courtyard. If she had not managed to stop in time, a head-on collision might have had serious consequences.

Without any preparation, even Fengh Qingyue was unsure what would happen if she collided with that terrifying seal.

"Uh... how could I dare!" Ye Zhen responded with a bitter smile.

"Huh? Your Cultivation?"

All of a sudden, pointing at Ye Zhen, Fengh Qingyue’s face changed dramatically to extreme shock, "Late-stage Fifth Realm of the Soul Sea? Am I sensing this correctly?"

Boundless Divine Soul Power fluctuations instantly rose from Fengh Qingyue, a powerful Divine Soul Power swept around Ye Zhen several times, but Fengh Qingyue’s astonishment remained unabated.

"In less than twelve days, your Cultivation soared from the third realm late stage to the late-stage fifth realm? Even if you were taking elixirs, the increase shouldn’t be this fast. Could it be the Sect Leader performed the empowerment on you? But the side effects of that method..." Fengh Qingyue’s eyebrows knit together.

"Spirit Dew Heavenly Pill, have you heard of it?" Ye Zhen said.

Fengh Qingyue’s eyes widened suddenly, "Of course I’ve heard of it! Did the Sect Leader actually give you that treasure? Tsk, that’s incredible; that treasure, even Yua Hanjing’s persistent entreaties failed to obtain it a decade ago, and yet it was given to you..."

As she spoke, Fengh Qingyue suddenly remembered something sorrowful, and her expression grew dim.

"A treasure that even Yua Hanjing failed to obtain with persistent entreaties was given to me?"

Now it was Ye Zhen’s turn to be astonished.

Ye Zhen knew about the preciousness of the Spirit Dew Heavenly Pill, but he did not expect that the Sect Leader would give him something he was reluctant to give to Yua Hanjing. However, with Ye Zhen’s insight, it wasn’t hard to understand why Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong had done this.

"Of course! It seems the Sect Leader has placed a heavy bet on you this time!" Fengh Qingyue said.

"Let’s not bother with that now. Come and test me - I just had a breakthrough, and I want to know how much I’ve improved!" Ye Zhen urged.

Fengh Qingyue’s eyebrows shot up, and she tilted her head towards the Moonlight Hall’s Martial Arts Arena, "I’ll wait for you there!" Before her words even faded, Fengh Qingyue transformed into a purple light, heading toward the arena, and Ye Zhen also soared into the sky.

Whoosh!

Above the Martial Arts Arena, the Shattered Jade Seal emitted a shocking sound as it hurtled towards Fengh Qingyue.

Mysteriously and inexplicably, an aura suddenly surrounded Fengh Qingyue. As the aura climaxed, she lightly pointed with her index finger.

"Sss!"

A purple finger seal, glimmering with a halo, pierced through the air, confronting Ye Zhen’s Shattered Jade Seal.

"Suppress!"

"There!"

Two sharp rebukes sounded simultaneously, and the moment brilliant purple light emanated from the Shattered Jade Seal, the purple mist finger seal suddenly accelerated. In an instant, just as the Suppressing Radiance dispersed, it fiercely struck upon the Shattered Jade Seal!

The Shattered Jade Seal shook violently, and Ye Zhen felt as if his heart had been struck by lightning, nearly losing his connection to the seal.

"Burst!"

Enduring the discomfort in his chest, Ye Zhen let out a low shout.

The constantly collapsing Shattered Jade Seal suddenly exploded, and the immense energy completely shattered the segment of the purple mist finger seal. The shockwave spread out like ripples in all directions.

However, the exchange between the two also came to an end at this point. If they were to continue fighting, both would have to go all out, and injuries might occur.

At this moment, Fengh Qingyue was staring intently at Ye Zhen, her beautiful eyes sparkling with strange lights!

"Compared to the selection competition that day, the power of your Seal Skill has improved by a notch, likely due to the boost in your Cultivation. That day, as I watched the battle, I thought my Purple Mist Finger could break through your Seal Skill, but now it seems I was still a bit short. Even when taking the initiative to face off directly, I couldn’t shatter your Seal Skill. Ye Zhen, do you know the Grade of my Purple Mist Finger as a Divine Power Martial Skill?"

"What Grade? Don’t tell me it’s a Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Martial Skill?" Ye Zhen replied with a somewhat strange expression.

"Of course it’s not a Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Martial Skill, but it’s not far from it! My Purple Mist Finger is one of the top Divine Power Martial Skills at the Heavenly Level Middle Grade. If cultivated to perfection, it can definitely compete with a Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Martial Skill!

Two years ago, I had already trained my Purple Mist Finger to its peak! Do you know what that signifies?" Fengh Qingyue blinked at Ye Zhen.

"What does it signify?"

"A Heavenly Level Middle Grade Divine Power Martial Skill! This means that your Seal Skill can match, or even surpass, a Heavenly Level Middle Grade Divine Power Martial Skill. I truly didn’t expect such a powerful ordinary Martial Skill to exist in this world." Fengh Qingyue said with a face full of admiration.

"Then what do you think, with my current combat power, what are my chances of winning if I participate in the Spirit Returning Assembly?" Ye Zhen asked abruptly.

"Less than twenty percent," she estimated.

"What, only less than twenty percent?" Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly widened.

"Don’t be surprised. I came to see you today specifically to talk about this matter. Didn’t you think that the Spirit Returning Assembly was just a few fights against some Martial Artists? If that were the case, it would be too simple!"

Fengh Qingyue gave Ye Zhen an annoyed glance, "Come on, let’s go to your Spirit Academy, and I’ll explain it to you properly!"

However, Ye Zhen paused for a moment, his heart trembling uncontrollably. Fengh Qingyue’s glance, with eyes flowing with charm and allure, wasn’t a look of annoyance. To Ye Zhen, it clearly seemed flirtatious.

When the two returned to Ye Zhen’s residence in Spirit Academy No. 100, they unexpectedly found Vice Sect Hierarch Tian Guizhang there as well.

"Eh, Vice Sect Hierarch Tian, what brings you here?"

"I’m planning to take you to the Spirit Returning Assembly tomorrow, and I was preparing to come to give you a detailed briefing on the event and the precautions," Tian Guizhang said.

"Ye Zhen, since Vice Sect Hierarch Tian is here to explain the Spirit Returning Assembly to you, I will take my leave," Fengh Qingyue remarked.

Just as Fengh Qingyue was about to leave, Ye Zhen hadn’t even rushed to speak when Tian Guizhang suddenly became anxious.

"Master Fengh, please wait, please wait!"

"Vice Sect Hierarch Tian, is there something else?" In the presence of others, Fengh Qingyue’s expression was somewhat indifferent, and her face bore a slight smile that kept people at a distance.

"No, it’s just that since you came to talk to Ye Zhen about the Spirit Returning Assembly, you might as well continue. Five years ago, you personally participated in one Spirit Returning Assembly yourself. It’s most suitable for you to share your experiences; I shall take my leave now!"

As he spoke, he didn’t even wait for Fengh Qingyue to agree, Tang Guizhang soared into the sky, and in a few breaths’ time, he vanished into the distance as a streak of light.

"Qingyue, you took part in the Spirit Returning Assembly five years ago?" Now it was Ye Zhen’s turn to be astonished.

"Yes, but unfortunately..." As she mentioned this, Fengh Qingyue’s expression was full of loss. "Five went, and in the end, only three returned, and among them, the strongest was lost..."

"The strongest?" Ye Zhen’s expression changed.

"Five years ago, there was also a selection competition, and I took second place with the Cultivation of the Third Stage of Vein Forging Realm. The first was a Martial Artist genius named Cai Wei, even more talented than Nian Xinghe,

and with the backing of his family’s heritage, a grandson of an elder of the Divine Sect, he boasted the terrifying Cultivation of the Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm at just twenty-nine years old, hailed as the future successor of the Divine Sect. Unexpectedly, he was lost in the Spirit Returning Assembly..." Fengh Qingyue said with a face full of regret.

"The Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm perished as well? How? Who caused it?" Ye Zhen fired question after question!

"Who caused it? A Demon Beast did."

Ye Zhen was once again taken aback, "The Spirit Returning Assembly has... Demon Beasts?"

"Have you ever heard the saying from the True Spirit Domain that ’Supreme Spirit Veins are the Immortal Realm’?" Fengh Qingyue asked.

"Low Grade Spirit Veins are as common as dogs, Mid-grade Spirit Veins are found in every household, High Grade Spirit Veins are often seen, but Supreme Spirit Veins are like the Immortal Realm. Is it that phrase?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Yes, that Demon Beast originated from these Immortal Realm Spiritual Veins!"(To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for us on qidian.com, your support is our greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
