Chapter 121

At the same time.

A thousand miles away from the energy explosion, Ye Qingxuan was vigilantly looking around.

The seed of his minor divine ability, the Heaven-Deceiving divine ability, was constantly operating, tightly masking his own aura.

Only after several massive auras high in the sky had moved away did Ye Qingxuan secretly breathe a sigh of relief and curse inwardly:

"Is a Nascent Soul realm Qingmo tribe member really this cowardly? It's damn hard to kill, and I don't even know if it died in the end."

"However, it was indeed exciting, hahaha!"

By the end of his cursing, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Having cultivated for many years, this was the first time Ye Qingxuan had taken such a risk, venturing deep into such a dangerous region as the Demon Realm.

This was quite different from the usual life of his true body.

The mindset and temperament of self-cultivation over many years were gone in this moment.

However, Ye Qingxuan didn't care about this, nor did he deliberately restrain himself.

He condensed a clone precisely to experience different lifestyles and temper his heart in the mortal world.

If, after splitting off a clone, the clone remained as unchanging as the true body, it would instead be a lower-grade approach.

As long as he could control his own mindset and transform it back at any time, then the different things experienced by the many clones and the different mindsets and behaviors displayed would be of no consequence.

The experiences of the clone would not disturb the mindset of Ye Qingxuan's true body; instead, it would allow him to experience different lives and perfect himself.

As long as Ye Qingxuan could grasp the most critical point—that he could control and transform his own state of mind at any time—that would be enough.

This confrontation with the Nascent Soul realm Qingmo tribe member also made Ye Qingxuan realize the limitations of the Nuclear Explosion Pills.

Although he could use his spiritual sense to control the movement rules of the Nuclear Explosion Pills, his spiritual sense speed appeared too slow in front of high-order cultivators.

The ones using these means were, after all, the cultivators themselves; if their strength was insufficient, their spiritual sense was inferior to the other party's, and their reaction speed was also inferior to the other party's.

Means like Nuclear Explosion Pills were very difficult to effectively wipe out high-order powerful enemies.

Even when the other party was prepared, wanting to purely use means like Nuclear Explosion Pills to ambush the other party was really too difficult.

As long as the other party remained vigilant at all times, and their cultivation was higher than his, their spiritual sense more sensitive, and their reactions faster, how could he hurt the other party with Nuclear Explosion Pills? Therefore, it was almost impossible for a low-order cultivator to sweep through the world and kill enemies far exceeding their own realm just by relying on external objects like Nuclear Explosion Pills that caused explosive damage.

Unless paired with talismans that had a suppression effect to suppress the other party's actions, there was no possibility of success.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan's eyes narrowed subconsciously.

Talismans above the fifth order came with their own suppression effects, so there was no need to consider this.

Fifth-order and below talismans, although limited by the talisman maker's cultivation and poor materials, did not possess suppression effects in their offensive talismans.

But among fifth-order talismans, there were also separate auxiliary talismans—the Suppression and Sealing Talisman—which could possess a suppression effect.

If a fifth-order Nuclear Explosion Pill were used in combination with a Suppression and Sealing Talisman, he wondered if it could... However, Ye Qingxuan shook his head again, negating his own idea.

A fifth-order Suppression and Sealing Talisman, although possessing a suppression effect, had very limited effect on a fifth-order Nascent Soul realm Qingmo tribe member.

Or rather, all talismans had very limited threats to cultivators of the same order.

If one could ignore others' years of hard cultivation and directly wipe them out just by relying on talismans, the price of talismans would definitely skyrocket.

Therefore, the true targets for talismans were cultivators one order lower.

For example, the effective killing target of a fifth-order talisman was actually a Golden Core realm cultivator.

Talismans also required time to trigger and draw upon heaven and earth energy.

Although this time was only an instant or even shorter, if the other party's actions were not controlled, a talisman of the same order could easily be avoided by the other party.

Furthermore, for a low-order cultivator to trigger a high-order talisman, the burden on their own spiritual power was also not small.

Therefore, general cultivators purchased talismans of the same order to use as combat aids, or at most purchased talismans one order higher than themselves to use.

There were no cultivators who treated talismans as their main means of dealing with enemies; talismans at most played an auxiliary or deterrent role. What a cultivator could truly rely on was still the cultivation base they had cultivated solidly; external objects were, after all, just a minor path.

This was also the reason why Ye Qingxuan had not delved deeply into the Nuclear Explosion Pill series.

Thinking of the battle just now, Ye Qingxuan said with slight regret:

"If I had known, I would have arranged a few sixth-order talismans for this clone as well."

The sixth-order talismans he had purchased previously had all been given to his external incarnation currently heading to the Eastern Extreme Region.

If he had a sixth-order talisman, combined with the suppression effect that came with the sixth-order talisman, and then paired with a fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill.

Ye Qingxuan was confident that he could have directly wiped out that Nascent Soul realm Qingmo tribe member in the previous battle.

Even if he used a sixth-order talisman across three orders, this clone of his would exhaust its spiritual power and fall directly into a state of exhaustion.

But as long as he killed that Nascent Soul realm Qingmo tribe member, obtained its corpse and cultivation origin, and brought it back to the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, his gains would be huge.

A Nascent Soul realm Qingmo tribe member, whether used to sacrifice and improve his own cultivation or to improve the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, could bring him significant gains.

What a pity! Ye Qingxuan shook his head with a face full of regret and said indignantly:

"Next time I go back, no matter what, I must arrange a few sixth-order talismans on this clone."

As for the Nuclear Explosion Pills, Ye Qingxuan felt that in a world like the Demon Realm, the effect produced by the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills was much stronger than ordinary Nuclear Explosion Pills that only contained destructive energy.

However, what puzzled Ye Qingxuan was that he had never heard of the special effects of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills in the Demon Realm circulating in the Di Xuan Realm? If the effects of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills in the Demon Realm were to spread, as the main sales point for the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills, his Tianfu shop could not possibly fail to receive the corresponding information.

Once the effects displayed by the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills in the Demon Realm were publicized in the Di Xuan Realm, with the Xuantian Sect backing him, he might even be able to get rich again.

With the Xuantian Sect backing him, he was not afraid of not getting any benefits; at worst, he would just yield the vast majority of the benefits to the Xuantian Sect.

Regarding this point, Ye Qingxuan was very open-minded; he had already enjoyed many benefits from backing the Xuantian Sect, far more than others.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan was not greedy; as long as the Xuantian Sect could share a piece of the pie with him, he would be content.

The problem was, why hadn't the effects of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills in the Demon Realm spread? One Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill was much more effective than hundreds of low-order Spirit-Purifying Trees.

Actually, it was no wonder that the effects of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills in the Demon Realm hadn't spread.

It was mainly because the Nuclear Explosion Pill series currently sold by Ye Qingxuan's Tianfu shop was still only at the third-order level.

Furthermore, the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill had not yet spread throughout the entire Di Xuan Realm, and those who knew about it were limited to some low-order disciples of the Xuantian Sect and cultivators near Xingzhou.

Most of those who purchased them were only Golden Core realm cultivators and those below the Golden Core realm.

The vast majority of these cultivators, who didn't even have Nascent Soul realm cultivation, would not have the hot-headedness to go to the Demon Realm and the nine fallen Small Thousand Worlds for training.

These cultivators would at most go to other Small Thousand Worlds that had not yet fallen for training, so naturally, they wouldn't know the effects of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills in the Demon Realm.

Previously on the extraterritorial battlefield, the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills had indeed displayed impressive effects.

But although the environment of the extraterritorial battlefield was harsh, everyone's main target was still the demonic creatures born within it.

The demonic Qi in the extraterritorial battlefield was very thin under the suppression of the Di Xuan Realm's origin, naturally far inferior to the current Demon Realm, causing many cultivators to ignore the purification effect of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills on the environment.

The cultivators who had used Nuclear Explosion Pills on the extraterritorial battlefield had too low cultivation and hadn't been to the Demon Realm.

The cultivators who had been to the Demon Realm hadn't used the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills.

As a result, the excellent effect of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills in eliminating demonic Qi in the Demon Realm naturally wouldn't be publicized.

Even among the high-level officials of the Xuantian Sect, although some knew of the existence of the Nuclear Explosion Pills, the Nuclear Explosion Pills were, after all, only low-order elixirs, and their attention was limited, so they hadn't delved deeply into the Nuclear Explosion Pill series.

This led to the fact that, until now, the Nuclear Explosion Pills were used in the Demon Realm for the first time, and the person using them was the developer of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills himself.

Rubbing his chin, Ye Qingxuan pondered: "Could it be that I have to promote it myself this time?"
