Chapter 1019 - 128: Circulation Sword Array Complete

Huang Yi said the next Star Domain Battle is in ten years.

From this, Chen Mo learned that Huang Yi was around one hundred twenty years old.

Chen Mo glanced over Huang Yi, then withdrew his gaze, saying, "Fairy Yi, does the Star Domain Battle have any realm requirements?"

Huang Yi shook her head, saying, "There are restrictions for Fifth Realm and above experts to participate. There are no other requirements. If there are spots available, even a First Realm cultivator can participate. However, that would just be going to meet death.

It's important to know that in the previous Star Domain Battles, those who made it into the top hundred had almost always reached the Fourth Realm. If you haven't reached that realm, you'll return with nothing achieved."

"Oh." Chen Mo nodded.

"With the competition matter settled, for the next ten days before entering the Secret Realm, you can stay in the Chi Yuan place. The spiritual qi here is far denser than in the Small World," Huang Yi said.

"No, thank you." Chen Mo shook his head, "Fairy Yi, someone is still waiting for me in the Small World. I must return to explain the situation and assure them of my safety."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yi's expression paused, but she secretly sighed in her heart.

If the incident where the clan reclaimed a part of the Medicine Garden from the Small World previously made Huang Yi angry, leading her to secure a chance for Chen Mo to compete.

But today, seeing Chen Mo defeat Huang Lingling and overpower many prodigies in the clan, earning a spot in the Jade Secret Realm, Huang Yi's heart was moved to groom Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo's current words dispelled this notion from Huang Yi's mind.

He was entangled with mundane worldly matters like wives and children, which would surely limit his future achievements.

Huang Yi nodded slightly, saying, "Then I will send you over. At that time, come to the Medicine Garden, and I will pick you up."

"Thanks, Fairy Yi."

Chen Mo cupped his hands towards Huang Yi and then said, "Fairy Yi, may I trouble you with a request?"

Huang Yi was startled, then slightly furrowed her brows but allowed Chen Mo to speak.

"I want to understand the general situation of the Celestial Star Realm better, so I have an idea. Does Fairy Yi have any books on this subject?"

Chen Mo knew that asking too many questions would eventually annoy the person being asked.

So he intended to get some books from Huang Yi to read himself and also let his wife and concubines understand a bit.

Huang Yi had thought Chen Mo was going to ask for a difficult task, thus she frowned, but seeing that it was just some record books, her eyebrows relaxed, and she agreed.

It was just a small favor done readily.

Moreover, such books weren't valued highly and could be bought at various bookstores in the Celestial Star Realm.

Chen Mo left the Eagle Owl Race with a large pile of books given by Huang Yi.

...

The time flow in the Small World is the same as outside.

So, however long Chen Mo stayed with the Eagle Owl Race, that much time passed in the Small World.

It seemed as though Chen Mo had only been away for half a day, yet for Yue Ruyan at sea, it felt like years. From what Chen Mo had previously told her, Yue Ruyan knew he had unmatched strength in the Central State, yet in the Celestial Star Realm, he was of average strength and couldn't control his own fate.

The most crucial point was, if anything happened, she wouldn't be able to help at all, not even collect his body if an accident occurred.

This fear of the unknown was what was most terrifying.

Fortunately, Chen Mo returned safely.

Back in the room on the second floor of the ship, as soon as he sat down, Chen Mo began to tell Yue Ruyan what had happened at the Eagle Owl Race. To prevent her from worrying, he concealed some potential grudges and the dangers in the Jade Secret Realm.

Yue Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It seems that this Huang Yi truly is a kind-hearted person."

Chen Mo nodded and then smiled as he took out the books sent by Huang Yi from the Qiankun Bracelet, piling them up on the floor like a small mountain.

"These are some historical record books about the Celestial Star Realm that I asked her for. They can help us quickly understand matters concerning the Celestial Star Realm. You read them first while I cultivate for a while."

Saying so, Chen Mo proceeded to the bed, sat down after taking off his shoes, and assumed a cross-legged position on the bed, opening the system panel.

[Name: Chen Mo.]

[Age: 29.]

[Cultivation Technique: Golden Crow Heaven Burning Skill (Perfection.807/3000000).]

[Realm: Celestial Human Realm (First Grade, 5th Layer of the Spirit Platform).]

[Power: 148090.]

[Skills: Great Sun Qi Slash (Intermediate1632930/6000000), Sun-Shooting Arrow (Intermediate22539/3000000), Divine Burning Technique (Intermediate3330/200000), Gluttonous Technique (Intermediate722/5000), Esoteric Dual Refining Technique (1169/5000), Wandering Dragon Step (Intermediate789/3000), Vajra Longevity Skill (Intermediate1546/5000), Circulation Sword Array (Entry Level0/36).]

According to the description of the Circulation Sword Array, entry level requires cultivating thirty-six swords.

Also known as thirty-six "leads," once the thirty-six leads are cultivated, one can quickly condense thirty-six Spirit Swords using spiritual power and control thirty-six Sword Technique Treasures to deploy the Circulation Sword Array.

However, since magical treasures aren't the spiritual power cultivated by oneself and are external objects,

to control magical treasures to deploy the Circulation Sword Array, the Primordial Spirit is of concern. The more treasures controlled, the more soul power consumed.

Similarly, the Spirit Swords are somewhat alike.

The more spiritual power in the Dantian, the more Spirit Swords can be condensed when deploying the Circulation Sword Array afterward.

According to what Huang Yi said when sending him back, even if you are a First Realm cultivator,

you can't provide enough spiritual power from within to condense the thirty-six Spirit Swords required for entry to the Circulation Sword Array.

Generally, a Second Realm cultivator can at most condense one hundred eighty Spirit Swords.

Chen Mo didn't think much about it, focusing first to see if the Circulation Sword Array, like previously cultivated Martial Arts, could have help provided by the system.
