Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 93 - 80: Breakthrough, Shocking Scene (Part 2)
Seeing Mo Shiyi being so cautious, both Nangong Jianchen and Shangguan Wan’Er felt a sense of anticipation.
Even Ye Xiaofan, walking ahead, couldn’t help but listen intently. The dialogue among Mo Shiyi and the three was not only audible to him but also to that terrifying senior brother, who did not show any displeasure.
As they delved deeper within.
Soon.
"Ahead lies the center where the Spiritual Qi is most concentrated. Currently, you’re only at the Profound Sea Realm, unable to go airborne, but there’s a spirit platform inside where you can make your breakthrough." As the terrifying senior brother finished speaking, the four of them suddenly felt enlightened.
The four originally thought it might just be a cave rich in Spiritual Qi, but as they stepped out of the passage, they were all stunned by the scene before them.
Inside was truly a world of its own. Though still a cave, it was vast beyond imagination, with Spiritual Qi steaming like a vast ocean, completely vaporized. The immense cave was enveloped in spiritual fog, akin to a true celestial retreat.
Moreover, the entire cave slanted downward at a ninety-degree turn. Only the periphery had a single stone platform, with everything below being a ten-thousand-meter chasm.
Standing on the stone platform and looking down, layers of mist were visible. Below, there seemed to be a ’great river flowing’, with the overwhelmingly dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi slowly ascending from the ’great river’ beneath the chasm.
"Spirit Vein!"
Mo Shiyi gazed down at the rolling ’great river’, his face awash with astonishment. He had heard that the Divine Sword Sect was founded atop three vast spirit veins, and now he finally saw one of them.
A spirit vein, formed over endless ages of accumulated essence of Heaven and Earth, continually generates thirty-six types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, making it a site fiercely contested by countless divine sects.
Even Ye Xiaofan stared in awe at the subterranean spirit vein, akin to a great river gently flowing, witnessing the dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi released, more concentrated than imaginable.
"What are you waiting for? Do you want the shackles to backfire on you?" The terrifying senior brother stood with hands behind his back, reminding Ye Xiaofan vocally.
Ye Xiaofan immediately snapped out of it, his inner transformation no longer allowing him to hesitate, instantly leaping towards the ten-thousand-meter chasm.
Of course, he didn’t truly leap into the chasm but descended upon the spirit platform in the center. Though the central part of the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land is a ten-thousand-meter chasm, at the very core, a spirit platform less than two meters in diameter floats, presumably prepared by the Divine Sword Sect for disciples unable to traverse mid-air.
Sitting stably atop the spirit platform, Ye Xiaofan crossed his legs in meditation, his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
Entering the Profound Sea Realm eleven months ago, and spending eleven months within, he was finally about to break through to the Second Realm.
Only Ye Xiaofan knew that those suppressing his breakthrough included Master Dugu Nan. On the Martial Soul Continent, upon reaching a Great Realm, cultivators would exert effort to suppress this breakthrough timeline—the longer it lasts, the firmer the foundation and the greater one’s potential extraction.
The purpose of such suppression is to ensure that all subsequent breakthroughs within this realm can maximize potential.
However, rarely can cultivators suppress this delay to last a month. Were it not for Ye Xiaofan’s unimaginably vast Profound Sea and his astonishing determination, plus Dugu Nan’s intervention, he could not have suppressed it so long.
Until this moment, Ye Xiaofan felt he had reached a limit, unable to keep suppressing, as if there was no more potential to extract. He had to break through.
Five months of suppression, even he felt a bit nervous, not knowing what the outcome of a breakthrough following extreme suppression might be.
Attempting to steady his mind slightly, Ye Xiaofan slowly closed his eyes, entering a state of Spiritual Sense exploration, inwardly inspecting his Profound Sea.
Rumbling!
The instant Ye Xiaofan’s Spiritual Sense entered his Profound Sea, an infinite and vast spiritual power immediately surged forward, terrifying beyond compare.
Now his Profound Sea had changed utterly, unlike any prior state.
At this moment, within the endless horizon of the Profound Sea, the thunderous ’wave’ sounds were deafening, akin to a true ocean’s spiritual liquid roar shaking the heavens.
Furthermore, after five months of suppression, his Profound Sea was misty in appearance, seemingly unable to contain the terrifying spiritual liquid, transforming into vast spiritual mist filling the boundless void of the Profound Sea.
Currently, the vast spiritual power within the Profound Sea was wildly surging, self-activated to bombard the layer of shackles; the entire Profound Sea was beyond control, battered and devastated.
Ye Xiaofan did not hesitate, immediately taking out numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures given by Dugu Nan, consuming several Profound Sea Pills, and harnessing Mystic Sea Power to suddenly charge at the layer of shackles.
Rumbling——!
Suddenly, endless power rampaged in this realm, and the Profound Sea space trembled feverishly, terrifying beyond imagination.
This breakthrough to the Profound Sea Second Realm, compared to stepping from the Profound Spirit Realm to the Profound Sea Realm, wasn’t as arduous as imagined. Perhaps due to prolonged suppression, Ye Xiaofan merely charged once, and the shackles instantly shattered.
At this moment, the endless spiritual liquid quivered madly, and the entire Profound Sea trembled intensely. The ocean-like spiritual liquid rapidly contracted at a visible speed, gradually diminishing within the vast Profound Sea as if absorbed by some terrifying Secret Power.
Briefly, Ye Xiaofan’s Profound Sea reverted to a dry sea, seemingly void of a single drop of spiritual liquid.
This state persisted for only a single breath.
One breath later.
Suddenly.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure explosively erupted, and at the heart of the dry sea, torrents of ’sea water’ suddenly spewed forth, filling the entire dry sea instantly. The power waves emanating from within the ’sea water’ surged over twentyfold.
Moreover, the terrifying forces within the Profound Sea continued climbing rapidly.
Ye Xiaofan was astounded to discover that he had not only broken through to the Second Realm of the Profound Sea but at that moment, he clearly sensed that the power contained within his spiritual liquid kept increasing while the spiritual liquid appeared to undergo transformation.
This transformation was so startling that Ye Xiaofan couldn’t help but gape, even as the one undergoing breakthrough.
"Breaking through to the Second Realm isn’t the entire transformation and enhancement of the spiritual liquid within the Profound Sea by twentyfold? Mine has transformed twentyfold already—why is it still increasing? Moreover, the spiritual liquid seems to be transforming?" Ye Xiaofan was shocked.
For this breakthrough, unlike recklessly charging in the Soul Beast Forest last time, he had thoroughly studied all considerations for advancing to the Profound Sea Second Realm, even probing the scenes post-breakthrough no less than ten times.
Yet at this moment, the Profound Sea, which should merely be an ocean of enhanced power within spiritual liquid, was transforming. As for what it might transform into, even Ye Xiaofan was uncertain.
Simultaneously.
As the Profound Sea ’second’ eruption of oceanic spiritual liquid happened, alongside the transformation and metamorphosis of the spiritual liquid.
Suddenly.
Boom!
Within the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land outside, incredibly dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly trembled violently, as if called upon, eagerly pooling towards the figure akin to a starry river tide.
The thirty-six forms of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land abruptly vibrated in all directions, tugging one string to move the whole.
Nangong Jianchen and the others watched the suddenly agitated Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, their expressions shifting dramatically, heads raised in astonishment.
That terrifying senior brother also instantly looked up, eyes shining in awe.
The once calm eyes now roiled with endless terrifying waves.
