Grinding EXP From a Demon Hunting Ship

Chapter 356: Chapter 351: 6th God Seed, Reversing Destiny and Returning to Life

"Mist Forest Divine Kingdom..."

Su Ye frowned, muttering to himself, ’I remember the files mentioning that the dense fog of the Mist Forest Divine Kingdom has a suppressive effect on Divine Sense?’

’Time to test it.’

Su Ye’s index finger twitched. He pressed it between his brows and unleashed his Divine Sense.

HUMMM.

The moment his Divine Sense stirred...

Su Ye’s expression instantly darkened.

’This gray fog...’

’Even with the strength of my Divine Sense, it’s this difficult to spread it and penetrate through?’

The fog’s ability to block and weaken Divine Sense was simply unimaginable!

Su Ye’s Divine Sense had already reached the fourth tier!

But here, he could only scan a radius of five miles!

Compared to the outside world, it was weakened nearly a hundredfold!

This was incredibly unsettling for Su Ye.

For someone like him, who was used to having his Divine Sense active with the ’map’ fully revealed, having its range reduced a hundredfold was like being blinded!

Moreover, what truly darkened his mood was...

’With this level of Divine Sense suppression, if someone told me this wasn’t the Mist Forest Divine Kingdom...’

’I wouldn’t believe them myself...’

Su Ye gave a bitter smile and let out a long sigh.

He had, to some extent, anticipated this outcome.

After all, with his current cultivation, there were only a handful of beings in the Northern Territory powerful enough to plot against him.

Factoring in the distance...

...the God of Mist Forest was the most likely culprit!

’A Divine Kingdom...’

Su Ye felt this was going to be extremely troublesome.

He may have slain several Divine Incarnations in the mortal world, one after another.

However, in the mortal world, those deities were completely suppressed. A Divine Kingdom, on the other hand, was the very lair of these Southern Deities!

And now he was trapped in the Mist Forest Divine Kingdom...

’Did I just... walk right into the lion’s den?’

Upon this realization, even with Su Ye’s mental fortitude, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of bitterness.

’Whatever.’

’First things first, I need to recover...’

After that intense battle, he was in a considerably weakened state.

Su Ye sat cross-legged, took medicinal pills and Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring, and began to heal his wounds and restore his Magical Power.

Of course, he didn’t let his guard down.

Su Ye’s consciousness sank into his Magic Power Crystal, connecting with [End of Tracing Origin].

He remained ready to unleash this offensive Divine Technique at a moment’s notice!

...

However, it seemed this state of high alert... was a battle of wits against thin air?

Twenty-four hours.

A full day and night passed.

Relying on medicinal pills and Spirit Stones, Su Ye’s Magical Power was replenished, and his injuries had fully healed.

He was even most of the way through the period of weakness caused by activating Divine Blood Proliferation—after he achieved fourth-tier Body Refining, the duration of this recovery period had been drastically reduced.

However, even now, the enemy Su Ye had been anticipating still hadn’t appeared.

Su Ye frowned slightly, surprised. ’This...’

’The God of Mist Forest went to all the trouble of pulling me into this Divine Kingdom. Surely it wouldn’t be without a follow-up plan...’

That was impossible!

Su Ye wasn’t that naive.

’So...’

’Is It in no condition to act against me directly... or does It have some other scheme in mind?’

Su Ye’s eyes darted about as he pondered the possibilities.

’Whatever.’

’In any case, this is by no means a safe place.’

Since my injuries were healed, it was time to cash in my resources for a power-up!

Su Ye made his decision instantly!

Of the five trump cards he had accumulated, his Quasi-Techniques, four were already gone. This included his most powerful combination, the [Sea of Deep Blue] formed from the Heart of the Vast Sea and the Monarch of Calamity, which had also been expended...

Right now, Su Ye urgently needed to convert some resources to bolster his immediate combat strength!

And as it happened, he had just the resources to do so!

’Experience points, and...’

’Divinity!’

...

First, the experience points.

In the previous battle, Su Ye had slain three Divine Incarnations in total: Jade Phoenix, Thunder Axe, and Cyan Rong.

These three Divine Incarnations had provided Su Ye with a staggering amount of experience points!

His current experience bar read:

[Profession: Pastor of the Sea Lv. 9 (36,759/90,000)]

[Profession Attribute Bonus: Damage +60, Protection +40, Evasion +27, Mystery +27]

Pastor of the Sea Lv. 9!

’Good thing I acted fast...’ Su Ye thought, relieved.

After he slew the Jade Phoenix Incarnation, his experience bar for [Pastor of the Sea] Lv. 8 had already filled up!

With quick thinking during the battle, Su Ye had leveled up his profession, thus avoiding the waste of tens of thousands of experience points.

Looking at his attribute panel, Su Ye’s interest was piqued.

’27 points in Mystery.’

’I’m getting closer and closer to one of the conditions for the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s perfect advancement...’

The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s perfect advancement had three extra conditions, one of which was the Mystery attribute.

That attribute needed to reach 30 points!

Without even realizing it, he was about to meet that condition.

...

After reviewing his status panel,

Su Ye’s Storage Ring flashed.

Three shimmering orbs of light, each a different color, appeared before his eyes.

This was the most valuable loot Su Ye had obtained from the previous battle—Divinity!

’Jade Phoenix Divinity, Thunder Axe Divinity, and... Cyan Rong Divinity!’

Su Ye’s eyes burned with fervor.

Wasn’t this the entire reason he had come to the Far South and battled Divine Incarnations?

It wasn’t as if his spirit of internationalism had suddenly flared up, compelling him to risk life and limb on a special trip to help the people of the Far South Continent break free from their feudal superstitions, was it?

Su Ye summoned his panel to analyze them.

He had checked the first two Divinities before. Their compatibility was decent, somewhere between sixty and seventy.

’Not bad.’

But compared to the Cyan Rong Divinity, the other two paled in significance!

BUZZ!

The panel flickered as characters materialized.

[Unclaimed Power of Rules Detected]

[...Analyzing...]

[Analysis Successful]

[Cyan Rong Divinity (Tainted)]

[Compatibility: 91 (High)]

[Available Options]

[1. Purify (Cost: 6,361 Experience Points)]

[2. Decompose (Cost: 2,454 Experience Points)]

"Ninety-one compatibility!"

’As expected! The compatibility with rules of life and death is extremely high!’

’This will be it, then. My sixth Divine Seed!’

Seeing this, Su Ye didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately confirmed his choice.

"Purify."

As a chunk of his experience points were consumed, wisps of blackish-red malevolent power were drawn out from the Cyan Rong Divinity, dissipating into nothing.

「A moment later.」

The Cyan Rong Divinity was pure once more!

A crystal-clear, emerald-green Divinity Crystal hovered in mid-air.

An incredibly pure aura of life flowed out from it, carrying the fresh, sweet fragrance of nature, invigorating Su Ye’s mind and body!

Compared to when he had refined the Eternal Hunting Divinity, the Su Ye of today was at the Late-stage Crystal realm. Both the quality and quantity of his Magical Power far surpassed his old self from the Mid-stage Crystal realm!

As a result, refining the Divinity was becoming progressively easier!

HUMMM.

Azure Magical Power coiled around the Divinity Crystal like tentacles.

The emerald-green Divinity Crystal rapidly melted, and simultaneously, within Su Ye’s Magic Power Crystal, a sixth Divine Seed began to materialize at a visible rate!

Roughly ten minutes later,

the Cyan Rong Divinity was completely refined by Su Ye.

An emerald-green Divine Seed spun and floated within his Magic Power Crystal!

The sixth Divine Seed!

Its name was:

—[Reversing Destiny and Returning to Life]!

’The ability of this Divine Seed is...’ A flash of surprise crossed Su Ye’s eyes, followed by an irrepressible, wild joy!
