Chapter 1432: Chapter 1432 - 1417: An Incredibly Precious Cultivation Shortcut
The familiar force of the void tearing lasted for nearly 15 minutes. As his surroundings suddenly lightened, Ye Zhen appeared in the hall of the Ancient Hei Huang Teleportation Formation at the seabed of the Outer Domain Dead Sea on True Profound Continent.
Over two years had passed, yet everything remained the same here, whether it was the appearance or the arrangements when Ye Zhen and others left—nothing had changed.
However, to be cautious, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense spread out like ripples, carefully examining every subtle change.
But just as Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense spread, his heart suddenly shook violently. A mysterious, indescribable feeling suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Quickly switching his thoughts, Ye Zhen immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.
At the moment he returned to True Profound Continent, a perception of the Heavenly Dao, completely different from that sensed in the Primordial Continent, suddenly emerged in Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace.
The Heavenly Dao that Ye Zhen sensed at this moment was quite different from that on the Primordial Continent. This slight comparison quickly resolved many previous challenges faced when integrating the seven Dao Patterns.
Subconsciously, Ye Zhen instinctively activated his Divine Soul and began to align the seven Dao Patterns within his Spirit Palace with this Heavenly Dao and his Origin Divine Soul.
Almost as quickly as a breath, Ye Zhen overcame the bottleneck of integrating five Dao Patterns—a hurdle he hadn’t crossed during three and a half months of arduous cultivation on the Primordial Continent.
The astonishing progress left Ye Zhen somewhat surprised, but with his intelligence, a brief contemplation clarified the reason for this occurrence.
The reason was simple: a slightly complex picture is difficult to memorize for its main characteristics.
However, when faced with another identical picture that’s missing parts representing the main characteristics of the original, a quick comparison makes the main features evident.
Similarly, a very ordinary-looking person might not catch your attention, but when compared with someone identical except for lacking a nose and ears, the missing nose and ears would leave the deepest impression!
The current True Profound Continent and the Primordial Continent are like this.
The Heavenly Dao on the Primordial Continent is like the complete person or picture, whereas the Heavenly Dao on True Profound Continent resembles the person missing the nose and ears, or the picture lacking major feature lines.
The Heavenly Dao on True Profound Continent is incomplete. Having just returned from the Primordial Continent, the comparison makes the characteristics of the complete Heavenly Dao from the Primordial Continent, previously unnoticed and indecipherable, as obvious as missing noses and ears.
This gain in understanding the Heavenly Dao requires only a small portion to break open the bottleneck long obstructing Ye Zhen.
The next moment, Ye Zhen directly took out a Spirit Void Fruit and consumed it to enhance his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and alignment with the seven Dao Patterns through its medicinal power.
Instantly, countless mysterious insights surged into Ye Zhen’s mind. The previously seemingly deadlocked seven Dao Patterns suddenly became simpler to integrate.
One after another, distinct, mysterious insights of the Heavenly Dao acted like the best connecting threads, swiftly integrating Ye Zhen’s seven Dao Patterns.
Half a quarter-hour later, Ye Zhen successfully integrated six Dao Patterns. Two hours later, the seven Spirit Pillars in Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace simultaneously radiated brilliance, with countless Dao Patterns imprinted upon them flying out, rotating and merging at the center of Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace.
Using the strongest Thunder Element Dao Patterns and Black Dragon Water Patterns, along with the Xuan Fire Dao Pattern as the main body, complemented by the Yimu Dao Pattern, Gold Element Dao Pattern, Earth Element Dao Pattern, and Mirage Illusion Patterns, they gradually fused centrally in the Spirit Palace into a mysterious light.
The next instant, as if divinely inspired or instinctively driven, Ye Zhen urged the Innate Primordial Divine Soul at the very center of his Spirit Palace to fly out.
The pure power of the Innate Primordial Divine Soul slightly dispersed, and the mysterious light formed by the seven Dao Patterns seemed to be attracted by an immensely powerful force, swiftly casting themselves toward the Innate Primordial Divine Soul, which resembled Ye Zhen by seven parts.
With a sound of whoosh, the light formed by the integration of the seven Dao Patterns completely merged into Ye Zhen’s Innate Primordial Divine Soul.
A series of invisible but clear sensing connections to the Divine Soul emerged between the seven Spirit Pillars and Ye Zhen’s Innate Primordial Divine Soul.
At the same time, each Dao Pattern imprinted on the seven Spirit Pillars had obscure yet mysterious connections with the existing Heavenly Dao in the world.
In this situation, with the Innate Primordial Divine Soul fully integrated with the seven Dao Patterns using the innumerable Dao Patterns imprinted on the seven Spirit Pillars as interruption points, it formed a profound, inexplicable sensing with the omnipresent Heavenly Dao!
In an instant, the previously indistinct perception of the Heavenly Dao in Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul became extremely clear.
Past Heavenly Dao concepts that had required his Divine Soul’s full force to sense or understand, now needed only a slight movement through the Dao Patterns in the Spirit Pillars to be immediately perceived.
And it was the kind of detailed, thorough perception!
Instinctively, as Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense moved, he began to refill the previously manifested but now seemingly rudimentary Dao Patterns.
Under this sensing, the dimly glowing Dao Patterns on the seven Spirit Pillars were being swiftly perfected and replenished, becoming rapidly more radiant.
As each of the newly shining Dao Patterns became re-engraved on Ye Zhen’s seven major Spirit Pillars, those Spirit Pillars seemed to be recast, growing taller, longer, wider, greater, and more tenacious.
Especially in terms of the strength of the Spirit Pillars, whenever an enhanced Dao Pattern was added, their strength increased significantly.
Like a transformative shift in the heavens and earth, Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace was rapidly growing and expanding.
Ye Zhen realized that he had broken through!
Divine Communication Realm!
Within Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace, the seven Spirit Pillars plumbed deeper like roots, expanding the size of Ye Zhen’s Dantian.
With every breath, Ye Zhen’s Dantian and the seven Spirit Pillars, both condensed with Spiritual Power, visibly enlarged.
The once brimming Dantian and seven Spirit Pillars suddenly felt empty.
This emptiness in the Dantian and Spirit Pillars provided a vent for the omnipresent Heaven and Earth Primordial Power, which rushed into Ye Zhen’s body.
Unfortunately, this was the True Profound Continent.
Both the density and purity of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here were over tenfold inferior to the Primordial Continent.
Originally, on the Primordial Continent, this kind of breakthrough would fill the Dantian in a few breaths; the breakthrough was quite easy.
But this was the True Profound Continent, where the Dantian and seven Spirit Pillars swallowed a limited purity of Heaven and Earth Qi, compressed by the cultivation technique, and couldn’t even fill one percent of Ye Zhen’s empty Dantian.
Hence, Ye Zhen’s body instinctively began to madly devour the Heaven and Earth Qi here.
Whenever the Heaven and Earth Qi grew sparse, it would quickly be supplemented from all directions.
However, Ye Zhen’s devouring speed was too fast, and in an instant, seven enormous whirlpools formed above his head.
These whirlpools startled Ye Zhen immensely; who knew how powerful these things could be? If they destroyed the Ancient Teleportation Formation before him, Ye Zhen would be devastated.
Clenching his teeth, Ye Zhen activated his Divine Sense, swiftly moving these seven whirlpools out of the underground exit and up into the high skies.
The Heaven and Earth Qi in the high skies was slightly denser than under the sea, but the commotion it caused was even more terrifying.
The seven enormous whirlpools of Heaven and Earth Qi quickly expanded to hundred-meter-tall frightening vortices like hurricanes.
Under the influence of these whirlpools, towering waves rose on the sea’s surface.
Ye Zhen remained unfazed, seated cross-legged in the void, deliberately using his Divine Sense to draw in Heaven and Earth Qi from all quarters, expediting the process of refilling his Dantian Spirit Pillars after the breakthrough.
Simultaneously, in the center of the Spirit Palace, Ye Zhen’s Innate Primordial Divine Soul was intricately perceiving the Heavenly Dao through the myriad Dao Patterns on the seven Spirit Pillars, perfecting and complementing the Dao Patterns he had previously comprehended and condensed.
During this supplementary perfection, Ye Zhen’s Dantian and the seven Spirit Pillars continued to expand rapidly.
However, occasionally, there were some Dao Patterns that Ye Zhen couldn’t perceive in the True Profound Continent’s Heavenly Dao, no matter what. Ye Zhen understood this was due to the incompleteness of the True Profound Continent’s Heavenly Dao.
Ye Zhen was puzzled about what circumstances led to this incompleteness in the True Profound Continent’s Heavenly Dao.
It is known that even the smallest Little World has its unique and complete Heavenly Dao Laws upon establishment.
No matter how simple its Heavenly Dao Laws, it wouldn’t be as incomplete as the True Profound Continent’s.
Moreover, the existing part of the Heavenly Dao on the True Profound Continent was identically similar to that of the Primordial Continent, perfectly showcasing the latter’s complete Heavenly Dao!
Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s heart trembled. Only then did he realize how terrifying the value of this discovery was!
This True Profound Continent, with its identically similar yet incomplete Heavenly Dao to the Primordial Continent, was simply the best cultivation site for comprehending the Heavenly Dao.
The cultivation effect might even surpass that of the Spirit Void Fruit.
Especially as one’s cultivation advances, comprehending the Heavenly Dao becomes very crucial, even more so when further comprehending the Heaven and Earth Laws later on; the effect might be even greater!
By then, simply comprehending the Heavenly Dao on the Primordial Continent for a year or so, then returning to the True Profound Continent for a few days, and by comparing the two, could reveal the differences, leading to rapid advancement, beyond what words could describe.
Taking Ye Zhen as an example, he estimated that if he were on the Primordial Continent, he would need at least ten years to comprehensively integrate the seven Dao Patterns and break through to the Divine Communication Realm!
But now that Ye Zhen had reached the True Profound Continent, it took less than three hours to successfully break through to the Divine Communication Realm.
This effect is simply.....
Ye Zhen felt he might have discovered an unprecedented, unparalleled cultivation shortcut!
A cultivation shortcut with no side effects!
In the days that followed, Ye Zhen was entirely immersed in cultivation, unaware that the seven enormous whirlpools of Spiritual Power he had created were causing unrest amongst the top existences on the True Profound Continent!
