Chapter 1794: Chapter 1661: Summary and Improvement
"They’re a race of Demons hidden deep within the Star Domain, whose instinct is slaughter. They cultivate by absorbing a unique aura released at the moment of a creature’s death, and they’re terrifyingly powerful—wherever they pass, all life is wiped out!"
Elder Lin explained to Ye Fan all kinds of traits of these creatures. These so‑called human-shaped creatures might also be a kind of race; they look extremely similar to Humans, but their bodies are covered in Scale Armor.
Generally speaking, those with dark green Scale Armor are the lowest-level human-shaped creatures, followed by Qing, then blue, and so on.
The hierarchy among the human-shaped creatures is extremely strict. They also slaughter one another to obtain death energy for Cultivation.
To any form of life, these human-shaped creatures are Demons. Every time they invade a planet, they slaughter all life on that planet to obtain energy for their Cultivation.
Historically, the Human Race has also formed expeditionary armies several times, attempting to completely exterminate these human-shaped creatures and remove future threats once and for all.
But in the vast Star Domain, finding their homeworld is nearly impossible. Time and again, the Human Race’s expeditionary army either returned defeated or came back empty-handed, and sometimes even faced total annihilation.
According to speculation, the planet they live on must be a desolate Dead Star, and in the boundless Star Domain, there are simply too many planets that meet such conditions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, beyond counting.
The old and the young, plus one Bai Yan wolf, chatted for a long time. Most of the time Elder Lin was encouraging him to work hard on his Cultivation to face the crisis that might appear in the future.
Not until the setting sun dipped in the west did Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf leave. Under Seng Dao Yan’s arrangements, they crossed the Void and appeared inside the Emperor’s Secret Realm.
"Awooo..."
The Bai Yan wolf habitually let out a wolf howl, like a thousand-year-old demon emerging into the world, swaggering as it flew toward Emperor City.
Ye Fan had always let the Bai Yan wolf do as it pleased. After arriving in the Emperor’s Secret Realm, under the arrangements of a teacher from the Imperial Academy, he settled down in Emperor City.
For several days in a row, Ye Fan didn’t step outside, while the Bai Yan wolf vanished the moment it reached the Emperor’s Secret Realm. No one knew what mischief it had gone off to cause.
All in all, Ye Fan knew this sly, dark-hearted guy would never stay quiet. If it went silent for a while, it definitely hadn’t been holding in any good farts.
On this, Ye Fan’s attitude was very clear: whoever’s ass it is, they wipe it themselves. If trouble gets stirred up, just don’t drag him into it.
During these days, Ye Fan kept replaying every single detail of his battle with the young King of the Demon Clan, gaining a lot of inspiration from it.
The Demon Clan’s body is powerful, and their martial arts lean towards close-quarters brawling. They don’t pay much attention to Divine Skills and secret techniques; they rely on their terrifying bodies alone to tear opponents apart.
This shook him deeply, because his body was even more frightening than the Demon Clan’s. Their fighting style happened to coincide perfectly with him.
After studying the Demon Clan’s fighting style, Ye Fan couldn’t help but sigh. Without realizing it, his control over his own Combat Power had become even better.
After repeatedly going over things in his mind, Ye Fan’s inspiration grew deeper and deeper, and he thus confirmed the path he would walk in the future.
With his powerful body, on par with an Undying Golden Body and even stronger than the Demon Clan, as long as his martial arts were strong enough, he could fully unleash even greater might.
As for martial arts, ever since he obtained the Xuandi Fist, he no longer needed any other martial arts. The Fist Technique created by the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor is absolutely peerless through the ages—it’s just that right now he still can’t bring out its true power.
However, he believed that as his strength gradually increased, he would definitely be able to fully unleash the true power of the Xuandi Fist in the future.
When Ye Fan arrived at the Emperor’s Secret Realm, the Immortal Academy, on the other hand, fell into chaos. This matter couldn’t be kept secret for too long after all. Even if the Old Fox was slick and smooth in his dealings, these Saints weren’t idiots—their eyelashes might be empty, but how could they be fooled by him forever?
Upon learning that Ye Fan was no longer in the Immortal Academy, these Heroic Lords collectively went to find the Dean Old Immortal, asking about Ye Fan’s whereabouts.
"There’s no need to look for him. He already told me that before his Cultivation breaks through to the Venerable Realm, he absolutely won’t consider any matters between men and women. He’s already gone out to temper himself. Even if you ask me where he is, I don’t know."
The Old Bastard spread his hands, pushing everything completely onto Ye Fan.
The various Heroic Lords were extremely unwilling. They tried every possible avenue, hoping to find out where Ye Fan had gone, but in the end they still got nothing.
"Isn’t this just playing us? If we’d known it’d be like this, we wouldn’t have needed to make this trip." some Heroic Lords said indignantly.
However, most of the Saints didn’t say anything. Running here for nothing wasn’t a big deal. As long as they could leave a good impression on everyone, it would undoubtedly earn their own factions quite a few points.
Right now, Ye Fan is only at the Early Lord Realm. To break through to the Venerable Realm, it’ll probably be impossible without several years at least.
Some people even get stuck at the Lord realm their entire lives and never break through to the Venerable Realm. But they believed that this hurdle of the Venerable Realm absolutely wouldn’t be able to block Ye Fan’s footsteps.
After half a day of noisy commotion, they still came up empty-handed. Only then did these Saints leave, unwillingly and with great reluctance.
Thus a storm quietly subsided, but for the disciples of the Immortal Academy, this kind of shock nearly drove them Feng Kuang.
"I want to become the second Ye Fan!"
"I want to catch up to my idol’s footsteps!"
All the Immortal Academy disciples who were deeply stimulated silently swore to themselves that they would definitely work hard at Cultivation, striving to be worshipped and welcomed by everyone just like Ye Fan.
In no time, the entire Immortal Academy was swept up in a cultivation craze; everyone was like they’d been injected with chicken blood, frenziedly going into seclusion to bitterly cultivate or taking on missions to temper themselves, making Old Fox and the other teachers of the Immortal Academy beam with joy.
...
At the same time, Ye Fan finally finished his comprehension. He rose to his feet and headed toward the Elemental Ocean.
The Elemental Ocean was rich in all kinds of elements, a superb place for cultivation. Especially for him now: aside from the Thunder Element, which he had already comprehended quite well, he was still far from seeing through the essence and Laws of the other elements.
And the Lord Realm focused precisely on the comprehension of elemental essence and Laws, so the Elemental Ocean was his best Cultivation Holy Land.
This time, moving with practiced ease, he still started from the Water Element region, walking straight to the center of the ocean of water elements before finally sitting down cross-legged to quietly cultivate and comprehend.
"Buzz!"
At his Dantian, a rune instantly lit up, shining with a gentle radiance. It was the Water Element Rune.
As he cultivated and comprehended, the light of the Water Element Rune slowly grew stronger; this meant that his comprehension of the essence and Laws of the Water Element had deepened.
Water benefits all things and does not contend, yet that does not mean it has no power. Once water rages, it possesses the might to destroy heaven and earth.
The monstrous waves in the sea are enough to overturn any ship; when floodwaters pour down from the mountains, they can sweep away the withered and rotten, annihilating anything that dares to stand in their way.
Thus, water is not merely soft; it is softness containing hardness. If used properly, a single Water Element alone can sweep aside all obstacles.
Ye Fan sat motionless in the Water Element region for seven days. Only when he could no longer sense anything new did he stand up and walk toward the Wood Element region.
At this moment, holding the Bodhi Seed in his hand, his Mental Realm was Empty Spirit; it was very easy for him to enter a state of Sudden Enlightenment.
The ocean of the Wood Element was completely different from the water elements, filled with exuberant vitality, heralding the growth of all things, resonating with the Pure Yang Qi within his body.
The rune of the Wood Element began to flicker. Ye Fan sat cross-legged in the ocean of the Wood Element like an old monk in Meditation.
Just now, he had also sensed that there were others in seclusion in other regions. No one disturbed anyone else; they were all quietly cultivating.
For Lord Realm cultivators, the Elemental Ocean was absolutely a Cultivation Holy Land. Other than here, there was only the River of Elements spanning the border between the Human Race and the Demon Clan.
But the River of Elements was fraught with deadly danger; it was not a place your average Cultivator could enter to cultivate and comprehend.
Many Loose Cultivators had no qualification to come into this kind of Secret Realm to comprehend the essence and Laws of elements; when they comprehended Elemental Laws, they had to go to special locations.
For example, to comprehend the Water Element, one had to go to a place rich in water elements—lake or sea—only in such places would the Water Element be abundant.
To comprehend the Fire Element, one needed to go to a volcanic crater and endure that terrifying high temperature.
Therefore, this Element Sea within the Emperor’s Secret Realm was indeed the Holy Land longed for by all Lord Realm cultivators.
Cultivating here yielded twice the result with half the effort, and there was no need to worry about not finding an element that suited one; all eight elements were present here.
As the days passed one by one, Ye Fan continuously changed his cultivation location, from the Wood Element to the Fire Element, and then to the Earth Element.
Only after comprehending all of the Five Elements did Ye Fan move to the ocean of the Wind Element to continue his comprehension; the Bodhi Seed in his palm grew hotter and hotter, while his heart remained utterly tranquil.
As his comprehension of the various elements deepened, the Elemental Runes shone ever brighter. Though they still could not compare with the Thunder Element Rune, compared to before they had already improved considerably.
Only when he had gone through and comprehended the seven elements other than the Thunder Element did he stop and stretch his muscles and bones.
At this moment, his spirit and Primordial Qi were both at their peak, his energy full and vigorous. He could clearly feel that he had cultivated the Early Lord Realm all the way to Great Perfection and could break through to the Mid-Stage of Lord Realm at any time.
If this terrifying cultivation speed were known by others, it would probably scare their jaws off. How long had it been since he had just broken through to the Lord Realm?
However, Ye Fan was in no hurry to break through. He knew all too well what consequences an unstable foundation would bring, so he forcefully suppressed his desire to assault the next barrier and continued cultivating.
Only by making every step solid would there be no hidden dangers in the future due to an unstable foundation. He decided to temper the Lord realm to the extreme before breaking through.
In addition, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi he needed to break through was far too terrifying; it required an ocean of Spirit Stones.
Ye Fan tried continuing to cultivate and discovered that if he kept going, the effect would be minimal. Only after tempering and settling himself through actual combat would he be able to continue cultivating.
Walking out from the Elemental Ocean, Ye Fan decided to go temper himself in the Trial Arena!
There, human-shaped creatures he had never fought before awaited him!
