Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Boundary Wall of the 2 Worlds, Circulation Magical Power

WHOOSH.

The spatial passage continued to expand.

A sea of black and red trees descended upon the world!

An endless stream of branches extended from the spatial passage, growing wantonly, twining around buildings and covering the streets!

"This..." Such a scene made the female Array Master and the other cultivators feel that something was wrong.

"Mr. Zhong! What’s going on?"

Several cultivators approached, their expressions grim.

The black and red sea of trees exuded an ominous feeling, making their spiritual senses profoundly uneasy.

SWISH.

A Qi Refining Level Nine cultivator from the Immortal City, his face fierce, grabbed Zhong Qi by the collar. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Speak! What did you do? What’s with all these branches and leaves?"

No one could remain calm when their life was threatened.

At least, these few cultivators from the Immortal City couldn’t.

Facing Zhong Qi, who they suspected knew something, they were too unnerved to care about decorum and threatened him without hesitation.

Zhong Qi’s face was ashen. "It’s useless... It’s too late..."

"I’m so sorry... ’She’ forced me to do it."

"Hey! You! What do you mean, ’it’s too late’? And who is ’she’?!"

The cultivators interrogating Zhong Qi felt their mouths twitch, their faces showing unconcealable shock and anger.

’Seriously? You’re still talking in riddles at a time like this?’

"This Orbit, you’re the one behind it, right? Stop it! Now!"

One panicked cultivator raised a fist the size of a clay pot, threatening Zhong Qi.

"Mr. Zhong, if you have a solution, or even an idea, please say something..."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator, a kind-faced Array Master, also spoke nervously.

"It’s too late..." Zhong Qi looked utterly dejected.

Unbeknownst to them, the demonic beasts that had been swarming the street had been completely devoured by the sea of trees!

The only life, or rather, flesh and blood, that remained was... this group of cultivators?

SHIINK!

The branches shot out, striking like lightning.

Whether it was the protective magical barriers of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Magical Energy Shields of the Qi Refining cultivators, or their Magical Artifacts... they were all like bubbles, instantly pierced by the branches!

As everyone knows, humans have less meat on their bones than demonic beasts.

Soon, over a hundred freshly made dried corpses, like cured meat, were suspended in mid-air by aerial roots extending from the sea of trees!

DRIP.

DRIP.

Blood flowed continuously from Zhong Qi’s wrist, forming a circle around him.

The branches of the tree sea, like hunting dogs, probed tentatively before moving away.

In an instant, only two people were left alive in this block.

Zhong Qi and the female Array Master, who had collapsed into his arms, unable to even speak.

A dense web of branches intertwined, sealing off the block and trapping them like birds in a cage.

"There’s no escape..." Zhong Qi lamented.

His expression even held a hint of relief.

Zhong Qi knew that the effect of the Orbit he had provided was not to make the monsters of the Reverse World ’corporeal’.

Instead... it was to lower the repulsive force between the mortal world and the Reverse World, weakening the Boundary Wall between them!

As the Boundary Wall weakened, the two worlds drew closer.

The Reverse World monsters naturally lost their ’incorporeal and formless’ characteristic.

But at the same time, the true, great terrors from within the Reverse World could also descend upon the mortal world!

"Everything will be destroyed, including me..."

Zhong Qi’s eyes were filled with despair.

At this moment, looking down from the sky, within Weiyuan Immortal City, the various nodes being cleansed by the ’Orbits’ were all undergoing a strange transformation, just like this place!

If the Immortal City were a human body, these nodes were like tumors, expanding wantonly!

Black and red branches danced wildly, and the sea of trees was like a flood, devouring all life!

As the sea of trees descended, the color of the sky grew ever dimmer...

Ash-gray storm clouds loomed over the Immortal City!

...

「Reverse World.」

「The Sea of Trees.」

Su Ye, dressed in a black robe and fitted clothes, sat cross-legged, circulating his cultivation technique.

And beside him, three pure, pale golden spheres of light rotated like satellites.

As the spheres rotated, specks of pale golden light scattered from them.

Like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, they merged into Su Ye’s body, becoming part of his foundation!

The brilliant golden light illuminated Su Ye’s handsome and flawless face, making him look like a celestial being or a god!

Su Ye performed an Inner Observation of his Dantian and Qi Sea.

The [Ghostly Flood Dragon] Dao Foundation manifested, refining the pale golden light.

DRIP.

Azure Liquid Magical Power condensed and dripped into his Sea of Magical Power!

As he refined the spheres of light, the total amount of Su Ye’s Magical Power increased at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Three hundred forty-nine... Three hundred fifty..."

Su Ye recited in his mind.

A look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

’My Magical Power... it’s increasing!’

’As expected, the Dao Foundation’s senses were correct. This thing is of great benefit to my cultivation!’

These three spheres of light were, of course, contributed by the ’Demon Wood Divine Generals’.

With the combined strength of Su Ye and He Muyun, killing a ’Demon Wood Divine General’ while it was still gestating was not difficult.

After a brief search within the sea of trees, they had discovered three ’Demon Wood Divine Generals’ in the process of gestating.

Naturally, they killed them and seized the spheres of light!

And as Su Ye continued to refine them, at this very moment, the three spheres had already shrunk to less than half their original size.

The light flowed from them faster and faster!

The total amount of Magical Power in Su Ye’s body steadily advanced toward the Circulation number of three hundred and sixty drops!

Not far away, watching this scene unfold, He Muyun, graceful in her pink dress, had an unreadable expression in her beautiful, flickering eyes.

’He’s refining these spheres of light...?’

’I’ll try it too.’

With a flicker of thought, He Muyun drew in a minuscule speck of golden light and began to refine it.

BUZZ!

The golden light she refined into her body immediately sent her Magical Power into a frenzy.

Even her Divine Seed began to teeter on the verge of collapse!

’What is this stuff...’

Horrified, He Muyun acted decisively, sacrificing a great deal of her Magical Power to expel the golden light from her body, shunning it like a viper.

"Phew..."

’He’s actually refining this stuff... isn’t he afraid of dying?’

’A unique constitution? A special cultivation technique? But... there have to be limits, right?’

’No... it would be best if he died.’ He Muyun’s thoughts churned.

And at that moment, Su Ye’s Magical Power trembled, surging like a tidal wave.

"Is he about to die?" He Muyun’s eyes lit up. She was about to be free!

However, she was destined for disappointment!

As his Magical Power surged, a profound and indescribable qi mechanism began to circulate around Su Ye.

He Muyun froze, her eyes flickering.

’This fluctuation... could it be?’

The Cyan Profound Sect had a legacy spanning thousands of years, and its Scripture Pavilion housed millions of books of all kinds.

As a true heir of a major sect, He Muyun had been an avid reader since childhood. Her breadth of knowledge far surpassed that of an ordinary Loose Cultivator.

And for that very reason, she was all the more shocked!

"This fluctuation, it’s clearly... Circulation Magical Power!"

’That lecher... he actually managed to cultivate Circulation Magical Power... How is that possible?!’

He Muyun couldn’t believe it.

Circulation Magical Power!

The true limit of Magical Power for a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Across the entire Yaoguang Islands, over thousands of years, there were records of only a dozen or so people achieving ’Circulation Magical Power’!

’Mingcang... Tianzhou...’

He Muyun’s thoughts raced as she recalled the cultivators she knew of who had achieved ’Circulation Magical Power’.

Of these cultivators, aside from one who died prematurely and never progressed past the Golden Core Realm, nearly all of them became Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and almost half even stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm!

That was a terrifyingly high ratio!

If you were to divide all the cultivators of the Yaoguang Islands over the past several millennia into two categories—those with Circulation Magical Power and those without, you would make an astonishing discovery.

The number of Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs produced by these two categories of cultivators was actually about the same...

Yes.

The number of Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs born from the dozen or so cultivators with Circulation Magical Power was about the same as the number of Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs born from the hundreds of millions of other cultivators across the entire Yaoguang Islands over thousands of years.

’This lecher has a decent chance of becoming a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch...’

He Muyun stared at Su Ye, her heart a whirlwind of complex and indescribable emotions.
