Chapter 238: Chapter 237: Years of Accumulation, All-Round Enhancement
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Five years passed in a flash.
The City Lord’s Mansion.
A secret chamber.
Su Ye sat cross-legged, performing a Magical Power Circulation.
Like a great whale drinking the ocean, he devoured the surrounding Spiritual Qi!
A vortex of incredibly dense, almost tangible Spiritual Qi formed and swirled around him.
An azure brilliance flowed unceasingly!
The Ghostly Flood Dragon now provided Su Ye with a boost to his cultivation speed, reaching as high as 750%.
He utterly surpassed cultivators with Celestial Spiritual Roots at the same realm!
Su Ye’s current speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was comparable to that of a Celestial Spiritual Root cultivator at Crystal Perfection!
Such a terrifying rate of Spiritual Qi consumption!
Only this Seclusion Chamber on Canghai Mountain, situated at the core of a Tier Three high-grade Spirit Vein and fortified with a Spirit Gathering Array, could possibly satisfy Su Ye’s needs.
HUM!
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into Su Ye’s Dantian Qi Sea.
It converted into pure, azure Magical Power, flowing toward the Magic Power Crystal and... a frosty silver Moon Blade Long Halberd!
A magic treasure.
Su Ye’s life-bound magic treasure!
A top-tier magic treasure, forged by a high-caliber team—the Crystal Realm Master He Muyun and two Artifact Refining Grandmasters—who spent over a year working with countless precious materials!
The strength of its materials reached the level of quasi-Tier Four.
Its frosty silver blade exuded both elegance and cruelty, reminiscent of a cold moon in the night sky and the biting winter snow!
Luo Xiyin had thoughtfully named this magic treasure—the Moonfall Halberd!
Su Ye had gladly accepted the name.
By now, Su Ye had been nurturing this Moonfall Halberd with his Crystal Qi for about four years.
Its sharp aura had receded, its flowing light drawn inward, leaving behind only a layer of pure, white light as bright as moonlight.
But its sense of elegance, coldness, and ferocity had only grown more profound!
One would not doubt for a moment that if this halberd were unleashed, it could scatter an army of ten thousand, sunder mountains, and cleave the seas!
’Moonfall Halberd...’
’Perhaps one day, this magic treasure will truly be able to strike down the moon?’
Su Ye chuckled to himself.
His Divine Sense lingered on the Moonfall Halberd for a moment.
Then, his gaze turned to the Magic Power Crystal.
Compared to five years ago.
His Magical Power was now even more vast.
The crystal’s surface glowed with a magnificent azure light, shimmering and iridescent!
’Only about five more years until I reach the Mid-stage Crystal Realm?’
Su Ye assessed, his expression tranquil.
Aided by the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s Harmony, he faced no bottlenecks whatsoever in the Crystal Realm.
He only needed to accumulate enough Magical Power, and he would naturally break through to the Mid-stage Crystal Realm.
’In other words...’
’I’m advancing one minor realm every ten years?’
Su Ye smiled.
Crystal Realm Masters had barely crossed the threshold to be considered high-level cultivators; it was normal for them to measure their progress in centuries.
Advancing a minor realm in just ten years was practically unheard of!
This just went to show the incredible speed of Su Ye’s cultivation!
Especially since he had consumed almost no elixirs or Spiritual Objects, relying purely on meditative cultivation!
In addition, as his Magical Power increased, Su Ye’s physical body and Divine Sense had also grown stronger.
His Physical Realm was still at Tier Three Mid Stage, though it had been strengthened by about thirty to forty percent.
The improvement in his Divine Sense, however, was extremely significant!
With the boost from Celestial Favor and the aid of the *Six Desires Secret Scripture*... After consuming a High-quality Chongyuan Elixir, Luo Xiyin had reached Late-stage Foundation Establishment, dramatically increasing the scripture’s effectiveness!
Now, Su Ye’s Divine Sense had reached the Crystal Perfection level.
With a single thought, the power of his Divine Sense could cover a radius of a hundred li, taking in every detail!
It had fully doubled from before!
’And I’m only in the Early-stage Crystal Realm...’
This meant that as his minor realms advanced, his Divine Sense and physical body could undergo further transformations.
’In other words... they could break through to the Tier Four level!’
’When the time comes, with a Tier Four Divine Sense paired with a quasi-Tier Four spirit vessel...’
’...and I use my Tier Three mastery of array dao to augment Jiaojiao and strengthen the Arrays...’
Over the past few years, relying on his powerful Divine Sense to gain a high-level perspective, Su Ye had already raised his own skill in array dao to quasi-Tier Three.
Reaching Tier Three in array dao was only a matter of time!
With that kind of setup,
Su Ye would be able to unleash Tier Four combat power even without using the Netherworld Boat to summon a historical projection!
In the Yaoguang Outer Sea, that was definitely considered top-tier power.
Even if a Crystal Perfection cultivator from the Cyan Profound Sect were to attack with a jade ruyi, or a Tier Four Great Yao from the Spirit Control Sect came for his life, Su Ye could handle them.
As long as he wasn’t facing a true Golden Core Master, Su Ye could put up a fight and have a decent chance of winning!
’This is what it takes to be secure!’
...
Su Ye was delighted by his five years of cultivation: his magic treasure was forged, and he had improved in body, mind, and spirit.
But beyond that, he was even more satisfied with the progress of his Divine Seeds!
He focused his senses inward and saw four Divine Seeds within his Magic Power Crystal!
They floated and spun, their magnificent patterns like traces of the Celestial Dao itself.
[Reaper’s Pursuit] [Netherworld Boat] [Heart of the Vast Sea] [Monarch of Calamity]
The four Divine Seeds were interconnected like a galaxy, their auras linked, exuding an air of mystery and profundity!
This connection had appeared when Su Ye condensed his third Divine Seed.
The three Divine Seeds had spontaneously connected, forming a basic cycle!
This significantly increased the nurturing speed of the three Divine Seeds, as well as the power of their Quasi-Techniques!
After the fourth Divine Seed was condensed, this basic cycle became even more complete!
’Two more Divine Seeds, and this cycle will transform again... forming the embryonic stage of a Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect!’
’And if I reach nine, the state of the ultimate number...’
’So it’s a pattern of three, six, and nine?’
Su Ye saw it all with perfect clarity and sighed softly, "I’m really looking forward to it."
...
After reviewing his cultivation progress, Su Ye slowly ceased his practice and opened his eyes.
Then, he opened the panel.
A light blue virtual panel materialized before his eyes.
[Name: Su Ye]
[Realm: Early-stage Crystal (Body Refining: Tier Three Mid Stage)]
[Class: Pastor of the Sea Lv. 5 (14923/50000)]
[Class Attribute Bonuses: Damage +48, Defense +28, Evasion +15, Mystery +15]
[Exclusive Skills: Whale-Hunting Spear (max), Heart of the Vast Sea (+2), Monarch of Calamity (+2)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Taiqing Cold Jade Skill, Six Desires Secret Scripture]
[Divine Technique Seeds: Reaper’s Pursuit, Netherworld Boat, Heart of the Vast Sea, Monarch of Calamity]
In five years, his [Pastor of the Sea] class had gained one level.
What was worth noting, however, was the change in his skills list.
[Exclusive Skills: Whale-Hunting Spear (max), Heart of the Vast Sea (+2), Monarch of Calamity (+2)]
The exclusive skills for [Pastor of the Sea] advanced every four levels.
To make it more intuitive, Su Ye had added a ’+’ sign after the skills.
So... that raised a question.
’If they advance every four levels, why is it "+2" instead of "+1"?’
With a thought, Su Ye retrieved an ethereal blue key from his Storage Ring.
[Pioneer Certificate]
[Order the heavens and map the earth, illuminating all directions.]
[Holding this Pioneer Certificate grants an additional 10 experience points per day.]
[Holding this Pioneer Certificate increases the level of your [Pastor of the Sea] exclusive skills by +1.]
’The product of combining the "Heaven," "Sea," and "Earth" keys!’
...
At this point, after the battle of the immortal city.
The spoils of war Su Ye had obtained had been mostly assimilated, converted into his own power and resources!
’Next up is the campaign for the new continent...’
Over these five years, Marina had long since submitted and provided a great deal of intelligence. Su Ye had used it to send advance parties into the Mist Sea to scout the shipping lanes.
Just as Su Ye was thinking about this, he suddenly felt the spiritual light of a Communication Talisman touch the Array.
’Trouble?’
