Chapter 101

After Liu Tai'an left.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the two Ethereal Immortal Cranes left behind by Liu Tai'an, summoned them to his side, and smiled: "From now on, one of you will be called Xiao Kong, and the other will be called Xiao Ling!"

Currently, Xiao Kong and Xiao Ling were only at the First Order cultivation base.

However, cultivating Ethereal Immortal Cranes did not require Ye Qingxuan to expend much resources.

Ethereal Immortal Cranes fed on spiritual energy and would not take in other things with messy energy, in order to maintain their own ethereal state.

Moreover, the cultivation speed of Ethereal Immortal Cranes was not slow; their breathing of spiritual energy was comparable to that of a human genius with a twelve-element spirit root talent.

After teasing the two Ethereal Immortal Cranes and preparing to take the two little fellows back to the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling, Ye Qingxuan's disciple token suddenly vibrated.

Ye Qingxuan took it out to look and found it was a message sent by Zhu Dafu: "Boss, the materials similar to black skins in the Outer Realm Battlefield that you ordered to be collected have already been collected, but I don't know if they are what you want."

Seeing the message sent by Zhu Dafu, a flash of light shone in Ye Qingxuan's eyes, but he was not excited.

It was not yet certain whether that black skin material was the World Membrane; if it wasn't, wouldn't he have been excited for nothing?

After sending a message back to Zhu Dafu, Ye Qingxuan looked at Ye Zhaoyu behind him and said: "Zhaoyu, go to the Tianfu Shop and bring back everything Zhu Dafu collected from the Outer Realm Battlefield for me."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's instructions, Ye Zhaoyu bowed and responded: "Yes, Young Master!"

Subsequently, Ye Zhaoyu left the stone pavilion and hurried toward the Tianfu Shop.

After Ye Zhaoyu left, Ye Qingxuan did not return to the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, but came to stand at the edge of the stone pavilion, watching the direction Ye Zhaoyu left, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

The two little Ethereal Immortal Cranes flew onto Ye Qingxuan's shoulders, rubbing their furry heads against Ye Qingxuan's cheeks on both sides.

By the time Ye Zhaoyu returned, the sky had already darkened.

Taking the storage bag from Ye Zhaoyu's hand, Ye Qingxuan immediately took Xiao Kong and Xiao Ling and returned to the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi.

Returning to the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi and settling Xiao Kong and Xiao Ling down.

Ye Qingxuan opened the storage bag and poured everything inside out.

Ignoring the other miscellaneous items, Ye Qingxuan's gaze locked directly onto a palm-sized piece of black material similar to a skin.

Summoning it to his hand, Ye Qingxuan injected spiritual power into it, but there was no reaction at all.

Taking out a Supreme Grade True Artifact, he poured spiritual power into it and slashed with full force at this piece of black material similar to a skin.

"Boom!"

The booming sound of energy exploding rang out in the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, and when it returned to calm, that piece of black material similar to a skin was still unscathed.

Seeing this, a trace of joy flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

However, just based on this, it could not be determined that this material was the World Membrane.

If the World Membrane were so easy to trigger its divinity, it wouldn't have been so easy for Ye Qingxuan to pick up a bargain.

Carrying this piece of black skin material, Ye Qingxuan came to the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling and found the node where the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling breathed in chaotic energy.

Subsequently, Ye Qingxuan used the power of the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi to hold this piece of black skin.

Carefully, he brought this piece of black skin closer to the chaotic energy flowing at the cave dwelling node.

Once this piece of black skin touched the chaotic energy, the black skin seemed to be instantly activated and began to actively breathe in chaotic energy.

In just an instant, the original black skin was instantly assimilated by the chaotic energy; the black turned into chaotic colors, and the whole thing radiated various kinds of chaotic divine luster.

Moreover, after turning into chaotic colors, this palm-sized material began to stretch out, slowly absorbing chaotic energy to expand.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingxuan finally said excitedly:

"That's right, this is the World Membrane!"

Having found the World Membrane, his natal magic treasure had a place to land.

Ye Qingxuan was now not far from the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm; once he broke through to the peak of the Purple Mansion and his realm was stabilized, he would have the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Before that, if he could refine the prototype of his natal magic treasure and make it compatible with his own Golden Core, that would be even better.

Once this timing was missed, after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm and waiting for the Golden Core to stabilize, wanting to refine a natal magic treasure that was cultivated with one's own life would require a greatly increased time for tempering and nourishing.

Only a natal magic treasure that was cultivated with one's own life and grew together with one could better carry one's own Great Dao in the future.

The natal magic treasure was also the cultivator's future weapon for proving the Dao. After the World Membrane was fully manifested, Ye Qingxuan controlled the power of the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi to take out the World Membrane.

After the World Membrane was taken out again.

Ye Qingxuan took the World Membrane into his dantian and, according to the secret method in the Earth Immortal inheritance, borrowed the power of the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi to begin closed-door refining of the World Membrane.

During the refining process, Ye Qingxuan's essence, energy, and spirit constantly merged with the World Membrane, slowly increasing the compatibility between them.

The refining of a natal magic treasure could not be achieved overnight; it required quite a lot of time to polish.

The natal magic treasure World Map that Ye Qingxuan chose to refine was one of the natal magic treasures in the Earth Immortal inheritance that was relatively compatible with the Earth Immortal Dao.

During the refining process, the World Map did not need to incorporate other heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The World Map was closely related to the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi opened by the Earth Immortal and could continuously absorb the origin and chaotic energy of the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi to grow.

The World Map was not only cultivated with the cultivator's life but also complemented the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi; the transformation process of the World Map was the process of carving a complete Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi onto it.

After Ye Qingxuan finished refining, the prototype of the World Map was actually equivalent to a combination of a small Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi.

Then, it would gradually transform along with the improvement of Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base and the advancement of the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi, finally turning into a true World Map.

After possessing the prototype of the World Map, the energy absorption and conversion efficiency of the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi would be greatly increased, which could further shorten the energy accumulation speed of the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi.

Moreover, the element mystery rules and law fragments evolved from the heavenly materials and earthly treasures incorporated into the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi could all be copied and evolved by the World Map one by one.

This was also the main reason why the World Map did not need to incorporate other heavenly materials and earthly treasures to strengthen itself.

This refining by Ye Qingxuan took a full ten years.

In those ten years, although Ye Qingxuan was not sitting still in one place.

Although refining the natal magic treasure World Map was relatively cumbersome, it did not require full concentration at all times; Ye Qingxuan could completely do other things while multitasking.

But because he had to borrow the power of the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi, Ye Qingxuan could not leave the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi during the refining process of the natal magic treasure World Map.

In these ten years, Ye Qingxuan hadn't gone out, spending his days either cultivating or teasing the spirit beasts raised in the Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi.

In ten years, the two Ethereal Immortal Cranes had grown to the late Second Order, while the Azure Dragon had just broken through to the early Third Order.

As for Ye Qingxuan's other free-range spirit beasts, they didn't have much of a breakthrough.

After ten years, the World Membrane that had been refining in Ye Qingxuan's dantian had now merged with Ye Qingxuan like water and milk, turning into a prototype of a World Map depicting the scenery of the entire Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi.

Ye Qingxuan summoned the World Map to his hand and spread it out; it looked like a double-layered landscape painting.

This was the first time in ten years he had taken the World Map out of his dantian.

The current World Map didn't seem to have much power, but in reality, it had initially reached the level of a Supreme Grade True Artifact.

Looking at his natal magic treasure, a very satisfied expression appeared on Ye Qingxuan's face.

With a gentle toss, the World Map instantly expanded, overlapping with the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi in the blink of an eye, merging into the origin intersection of the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi, and beginning to operate slowly.

With the blessing of the World Map, the speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi absorbed energy and converted origin instantly saw a small increase.

And the World Map was also borrowing the power of the Qingxuan Cave Dwelling Dongxuan Fudi to temper and nourish itself.

After doing all this, Ye Qingxuan left the Dongxuan Fudi.

Arriving at the familiar stone pavilion again, Ye Qingxuan waved his sleeves, and his spiritual power swept away all the dust.

Then he leisurely began to make tea again, admiring the scenery outside the mountain peak.

For several consecutive days, besides cultivating, Ye Qingxuan spent his time drinking tea and admiring the scenery in the stone pavilion, relaxing his body and mind.

On this day, Ye Qingxuan had just finished making tea and hadn't had time to drink it when he was suddenly attracted by a sound of space tearing.

Out of curiosity, Ye Qingxuan put down the teacup he had just made, came to the edge of the stone pavilion, stood with his hands behind his back, and stared intently.

After a moment, he saw the space in the distance suddenly crack.

A blood-colored long sword shattered the space, tore through the sky, and sped toward the direction of Xuantian Peak.

Wherever it passed, the blood-colored luster lingered for a long time, as if it had stained the sky of the Di Xuan Realm red.
