Free Web NovelChapter 463: Chapter 286: Preparing to Go Out to Sea
The Third Layer Realm of the Grotto Dark Dharma Eye is called Insight. With it, one’s eyes can see through earth and stone, peer into the internal organs of others, and observe the flow of their Magical Power as clearly as the lines on one’s own palm.
Within the Five Elements True Spirit Sect, there were many Cultivators who practiced the Grotto Dark Dharma Eye, as Eye Power is incredibly useful in Magical Combat. However, those who could cultivate it to the Third Layer, Insight, were exceedingly rare.
Furthermore, all who had reached this Realm were Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Yang Jing closed his eyes, retracting the brilliant gleam within them.
After Refining a large number of Yin Evil Spider Demons, he had already made considerable progress with his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye. While tempering his body with Yang Fire inside the Profound Celestial Furnace, he finally broke through the last barrier, advancing to the Third Layer in one go.
After this advancement, the Inconstant Illusionary Form Technique used by ordinary Demon Cultivators could no longer deceive his eyes. Even a top-tier Illusion Technique like the Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi would reveal some clues if he fully activated his Dharma Eye.
His physical body had undergone an even more monumental transformation compared to his eyes. The Celestial Gang Qi was no longer confined to his meridians and Acupoints; it had completely fused with every bit of his flesh and blood. With every move, he naturally generated the Giant Power to uproot mountains and lift great cauldrons.
When fully channeled, it possessed the power to shake the earth and move the heavens.
Moreover, after advancing to the Golden Core, Yang Jing had gained the Divine Technique to enlarge his True Body. By fully channeling his Celestial Gang Qi, he could transform into a sixteen-foot giant, causing his Qi Power to surge once more.
It was just a shame that there were no worthy opponents in the Five Elements True Spirit Sect for him to test the extent of his changes.
Yang Jing had spent forty-nine days in the Profound Celestial Furnace. Even though he was a Golden Core Master with the ability to subsist on wind and dew, his stomach was empty and rumbling with hunger.
Yellow Foot immediately put all his skills to work, preparing a magnificent feast of Spiritual Food.
After enjoying the meal, Yang Jing lay lazily on his couch.
His True Yang Body’s breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm had given him another ace up his sleeve, boosting his confidence for the trip to the Central Continent.
Yang Jing did not reveal that his Body Refinement technique had reached the Golden Core Realm, appearing no different than before. Due to a shortage of Spirit Stones, he had Ren Xingzhou gather various Spiritual Materials. He then used his own superb Artifact Refining Skill to turn them into Magical Treasures, which he sold through the True Spirit Lineage and auction houses.
Although his Artifact Refining Technique was only comparable to that of his disciple, Ji Feng, his higher Cultivation gave him a respectable success rate of fifty percent when Refining Magical Treasures.
Spiritual Materials worth forty to fifty thousand Spirit Stones would see their price multiply by more than ten times after being Refined into a Magical Treasure. Even if he failed and only produced a Spiritual Artifact, its ample Spiritual Essence would at least allow him to break even.
However, Spiritual Materials suitable for Refining Magical Treasures were hard to find. Even with Ren Xingzhou searching with all his might, he could only fire up the furnace once every eight or nine months.
「A few years later.」
"Greetings, Master!"
Shao Zhongguang knelt before Yang Jing, overcome with excitement. The ten-year period was up, and he had finally returned to the Five Elements True Spirit Sect from the East Sea.
During these ten years, he had been through seventeen major battles and countless smaller skirmishes. The number of Demons and Sea Monsters that had died by his hand was immeasurable. He himself had been trapped in desperate situations several times, only managing to escape with his life thanks to the various miraculous Magic of the Blood Spirit Scripture.
"This disciple found this Spiritual Object in the sea and has brought it as an offering for Master."
Shao Zhongguang held up a Jade Box with both hands, his heart pounding with anxiety as he spoke to Yang Jing.
So much could change in ten years; he was terrified that Yang Jing would not honor the promise made a decade ago.
A sharp glint flashed in Yang Jing’s eyes, and he easily saw through to the Blood Spirit Technique Magical Power within Shao Zhongguang’s body.
Compared to before, his Blood Spirit Technique Magical Power was more than twice as potent, and it radiated a grim Evil Qi. However, this Evil Qi was fierce but not malevolent, clearly accumulated from slaying Demons.
Yang Jing nodded in satisfaction. With a flick of his hand, he drew the Jade Box into his grasp.
"You’ve made quite a grand gesture. I’ll accept this apprenticeship gift."
As soon as he opened the Jade Box, a torrent of Water Element Essence Qi surged out, and one could even faintly hear the sound of ocean tides rising and falling.
A crystal-clear, azure Treasure Pearl lay on the silk brocade inside the Jade Box.
It was a Vast Sea Pearl, a Spiritual Eye Object capable of endlessly producing Water Element Spiritual Qi.
This Vast Sea Pearl was Tier Three and worth at least eighty to ninety thousand Spirit Stones.
"I found it on a Mixed Flood Dragon. It didn’t cost me many Spirit Stones."
When Shao Zhongguang saw Yang Jing accept the Treasure Pearl, he was overjoyed, knowing that he had been accepted as a Named Disciple.
"How many Blood God Children can you form now?" Yang Jing asked.
"I can form two," Shao Zhongguang replied. He had been ambushed and besieged by five Great Demons of the sea. At the brink of life and death, he had a sudden epiphany and split off two Blood God Children.
Relying on these two Blood God Children, he successfully escaped the Demons’ siege, even managing to heavily injure one of them. This earned him the nickname "Blood Robe" in the Eastern Army Governor’s Mansion.
Yang Jing nodded in satisfaction.
It hadn’t been long since the disciples from the Five Elements True Spirit Sect who practiced the Blood Spirit Scripture went to the Eastern Army Governor’s Mansion, but they had already begun to make a name for themselves.
Even in the sea, where the Demons held every advantage, they were still able to counter all sorts of them.
Shao Zhongguang had received the military rank of Yu Hou and was in charge of leading his junior brothers and sisters who also practiced the Blood Spirit Scripture. They typically patrolled the seas, hunting down and annihilating Demons that ravaged the mainland.
If Shao Zhongguang hadn’t insisted on returning to the Five Elements True Spirit Sect, he could have advanced even further in the Eastern Army Governor’s Mansion.
Yang Jing took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Shao Zhongguang. Seeing that Shao Zhongguang hadn’t slaughtered mortals or other Cultivators to enhance his Magical Power with the Blood Spirit Scripture, Yang Jing officially accepted him as a Named Disciple.
