Chapter 2181: Chapter 2166: A Paper-Thin Barrier (Third Update)

"Grand Marshal, mighty and valiant!"

"Grand Marshal, mighty and valiant!"

Amid the cheers of the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea, the crimson infant above his head soared like a sea of blazing flames, and the sight filled Ye Zhen, who had just stepped into the Half-step Dao Realm, with boundless passion!

Between Peak of Ninth Stage Realm King Realm and Half-step Dao Realm, there is a threshold.

This threshold is in fact the most crucial gate to breaking through into the Dao Realm.

Over eighty percent of Martial Artists at Peak of Ninth Stage Realm King Realm, for their entire lives, are unable to cross this threshold and set foot into the Half-step Dao Realm.

The time it takes to突破 this threshold varies—some people fail countless times over hundreds or even thousands of years, some perhaps need a dozen or so years, and some, maybe it is just that single instant of sudden enlightenment.

According to Ye Zhen’s previous estimates, for him to step into the Half-step Dao Realm, he would need at least ten years of Water Grinding Technique before he could cross this threshold.

And that was the minimum.

Even if one of Ye Zhen’s Five Elements Yin Yang Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace’s Spirit Palace stepped into the Half-step Dao Realm, allowing Ye Zhen to gain a first glimpse of the path, for his other Spirit Palaces to condense Dao Seeds and merge into his Primordial Spirit, each would probably take one or two years of effort.

Calculated like this, at the very least it meant twenty years of Water Grinding Technique.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen found a shortcut from the memory imprint of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

Of course, Ye Zhen’s master Lud Li had also given guidance on how to突破 into the Dao Realm.

However, this kind of guidance could only be considered textual.

It is like brick firing: you may have a rather detailed firing method, yet having it does not mean you can immediately fire bricks out.

You must experiment again and again, go through failures time and again, and only after feeling out your own experience can you successfully fire bricks.

Master Lud Li’s guidance to Ye Zhen on突破 into the Dao Realm was just like that—there was a method, but Ye Zhen still needed to explore it on his own.

Especially with this high-level Cultivation method, many parts were abstruse and difficult to understand.

As a disciple wandering far away like Ye Zhen, Master Lud Li could not personally instruct him by word of mouth; naturally the difficulty of Cultivation increased several-fold out of thin air.

Yet the Cultivation scenes within Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s memory imprint were like Master Lud Li personally whispering in his ear, and also like a thorough enlightenment poured over him, allowing Ye Zhen to instantly grasp many obscure points within Master Lud Li’s guidance.

Once one thing is understood, a hundred others follow; Ye Zhen immediately saw through the knack of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s comprehension of Heaven and Earth Laws, and moreover took the opportunity to learn part of his tricks.

This sort of thing is intangible, yet it allows Ye Zhen, when comprehending and understanding Heaven and Earth Laws, to be far faster.

It’s like arithmetic—most Martial Artists currently still use addition, whereas Ye Zhen, by combining the comprehension scenes of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong with his master’s secret pointers, has learned multiplication; naturally his speed is far greater.

In other words, Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong unwittingly served once as Ye Zhen’s teacher; if he were alive again, who knows what he would think?

By reckoning, this is actually Ye Zhen’s greatest gain from this beheading of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

Furthermore, most importantly, stepping over this threshold into the Half-step Dao Realm, for Ye Zhen, is no less than leaping over the Dragon Gate!

Why say this?

Because for other Martial Artists, crossing this threshold and stepping into the Half-step Dao Realm is merely the beginning of the long, drawn-out Cultivation road of the Dao Realm.

What awaits them next will be a Water Grinding Technique-like effort.

Bit by bit comprehending Heaven and Earth Law Power, bit by bit improving.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years!

In front of the matter of comprehending Heaven and Earth Laws, time has already become extremely short.

The time to comprehend Heaven and Earth Laws is measured in years, not in days.

But things are different for Ye Zhen.

Little Demon’s devouring ability can directly devour the Heaven and Earth Law Power comprehended by other Dao Realm Martial Artists.

Previously, Ye Zhen was unable to comprehend these Heaven and Earth Law Power; Little Demon could only comprehend Wood Element Heavenly Earth Law Power, while the rest had to be completely blasted into the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space’s Sealing, which was truly a huge waste.

Now, as long as it is of the Five Elements Yin Yang—namely metal, wood, water, fire, earth—as well as thunder and illusion, these seven types of Heaven and Earth Law Power, Ye Zhen can freely absorb and comprehend them.

However, this kind of absorption and comprehension cannot, like Spiritual Power, be devoured and immediately converted into Ye Zhen’s strength.

It is not like that.

The Heaven and Earth Law Power devoured still needs Ye Zhen to comprehend and understand before it can be converted into his own power.

This is like solving an incomparably complicated problem.

Other Martial Artists have to deduce step by step, try countless possible lines of deduction, to arrive at a tiny progress, and then spend endless amounts of time to completely solve this difficult problem.

Ye Zhen is different; as long as Little Demon devours the corresponding Heaven and Earth Law Power, it’s akin to directly laying the detailed solving steps and final answer of this problem in front of him.

Ye Zhen himself only needs to follow the steps, deducing and understanding them one by one, and correspond them one by one with the detailed steps and answer before him, and then he can completely resolve this difficult problem.

The difference in time consumed between the two can be measured in thousands or tens of thousands of times.

This is the reason Ye Zhen now feels so high-spirited and full of heroic ardor!

Next, as long as there are suitable opportunities, Ye Zhen’s Cultivation will突破 and提升 with an extraordinary pace.

Of course, these opportunities still require Ye Zhen himself to fight for and seize!

Taking a deep breath, he pressed down the surging passion in his heart and silently warned himself to guard against arrogance and impatience, then finally cast his Divine Sense toward Little Demon.

Little Demon was the first meritorious contributor in this battle and charged at the very front, facing the greatest danger.

What reassured Ye Zhen was that Little Demon had only taken minor injuries; at that moment Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong simply had no spare力量 to launch too many attacks at Little Demon.

The only thing that startled Ye Zhen was that the Creation Spiritual Power within Little Demon’s body had been exhausted!

The small amount of Creation Spiritual Power that Little Demon had received when Princess Changle carried out the Holy Woman inheritance had never been much to begin with; earlier, when dealing with Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, in order to破开 Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s Dao Palace, it had been completely used up.

Creation Spiritual Power had been Little Demon’s former trump card for defeating enemies.

With merely a hair-fine wisp added, it could easily突破 into a Dao Palace of a Dao Realm enemy.

Now, that trump card has completely vanished.

However, Ye Zhen did not mind.

Beheading Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, the harvest was enormous—worth it!

Moreover, Little Demon’s current Cultivation had already reached Mid Dao Realm; it’s just that the Heaven and Earth Law Power accumulated to Mid Dao Realm was mostly devoured and had not yet completely converted into its own strength.

As long as it spends some time, and Little Demon can fully exert the strength of Mid Dao Realm, then even if a Late Dao Realm powerhouse runs into Little Demon, they’ll have to suffer a headache.

"Little Demon, from today on, whenever you have time, Cultivate and comprehend in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Temporal Sequence Space, and try your best to completely grasp those devoured Wood Element Heavenly Earth Law Power in the shortest possible time!" Ye Zhen instructed.

"Understood, Father!"

Afterward, with a stir of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense, he投向 the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Previously, when Little Demon had sent Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s Cultivation and Heaven and Earth Law Power into the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing, Ye Zhen had felt that the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing was about to破开.

Now Ye Zhen wanted to see whether the Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing had actually been解除 or not.

If it has been破开, what will be inside?

In the instant his Divine Sense entered the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen’s face first showed disappointment, then turned to delighted surprise.

The Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing still existed and had not been破开.

However, what remained of the Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing was only a paper-thin layer of Sealing Barrier.

With such a layer of Spatial Sealing, with Ye Zhen’s current strength, continuous bombardment for three years would be enough to破开 it.

Given Little Demon’s present Mid Dao Realm Cultivation and Early Dao Realm Heaven and Earth Law Power, continuous bombardment for one month would破开 it.

Of course, this does not mean Ye Zhen’s strength is too weak.

Rather, this Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier’s Sealing力量 Grade is too high; it must be struck with力量 carrying Heaven and Earth Law Power to have any effect!

Naturally, if they devoured the力量 of a Martial Artist at Peak of Early Dao Realm or Mid Dao Realm to bombard it, they could破开 it in an instant!

While observing, Ye Zhen had already formed a plan.

Looking down at the army beginning to clean up the battlefield, Ye Zhen shifted his Divine Sense and took out the High Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Level Bone Wheel he had snatched earlier.

Ye Zhen wanted to know what kind of Acquired Spirit Treasure this actually was!
