Chapter 124: Suppressing the World

Wait until his external incarnation establishes a foothold in the Dongji Domain.

Establish a foundation of his own in the Dongji Domain and open up its market.

Then Ye Qingxuan can take his first step beyond the Xuantian Sect.

Use the world gate condensed from the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven to build a prototype of his commercial platform and conduct cross-domain trade in secret.

At that time, he will inevitably gain massive profits again.

The only thing to note is that beyond the Xuantian Sect, Ye Qingxuan can rely only on himself.

Without sufficient strength, he will inevitably be unable to protect profits that exceed his own power.

Therefore, at that time, he must proceed cautiously, accumulating sufficient strength in secret first.

In the outside world, strength and background are the keys to development.

His external incarnation has no background, so he can only rely on his own strength.

If he were within the five regions of the Di-Xuan Realm, Ye Qingxuan's current strength would leave him constrained and restricted.

But in the Dongji Domain, one of the four regions outside the Di-Xuan Realm, Ye Qingxuan need not worry too much.

This is why Ye Qingxuan chose the Dongji Domain as his starting point for development.

In the Dongji Domain, he has many trump cards prepared.

In the Dongji Domain, where the combat power ceiling of his external incarnation is merely the Soul Transformation realm, self-preservation in the early stages will not be difficult as long as he does not go too far.

After lying low for a while and laying a solid foundation, once his own strength rises, it will be the time for his commercial empire to expand rapidly.

However, this is destined to take a considerable amount of time.

Three months later.

Ye Qingxuan sold another five hundred fourth-rank Spirit-Purifying Trees, exchanging them for four third-rank Spirit Vein Sources and five second-rank Spirit Vein Sources.

After Ye Qingxuan merged these nine Spirit Vein Sources into the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven to catalyze the formation of spirit veins.

The entire Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven.

Currently possesses a total of sixteen third-rank spirit veins, twenty-two second-rank spirit veins, and twenty-two first-rank spirit veins.

The two extra first-rank spirit veins were naturally evolved and generated within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven over these years.

With the support of these spirit veins, the speed at which the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven accumulates and transforms primordial essence surged once again.

In Ye Qingxuan's perception, the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven will likely need about two more years to grow to the peak of the second rank.

At that time, it can break through to the level of a third-rank Grotto-Heaven in one fell swoop.

During these two years, Ye Qingxuan does not intend to remain idle.

He plans to select a divine technique with a suppression effect from the Earth Immortal inheritance to cultivate.

After the experience of his Explorer incarnation this time, Ye Qingxuan deeply felt the dangers of the struggle on the immortal path; a moment of carelessness could lead to disaster and death.

Therefore, he plans to cultivate another divine technique with a suppression effect to increase his means of fighting enemies.

As for other divine techniques, those with overlapping effects are of little use to cultivate.

His current cultivation base is still too low; among the divine techniques that can allow him to condense a divine technique seed at the Jin Dan realm, few possess outstanding power.

After browsing for a moment, Ye Qingxuan chose a minor divine technique named Suppressing the World.

Minor Divine Technique: Suppressing the World can suppress the space within a world, imprisoning cultivators and preventing them from using methods to break the void and escape.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

The specific effect of a divine technique depends on the cultivation of the user, as well as the cultivation and methods of the target being suppressed, among other factors.

Relying solely on the divine technique seed of the minor divine technique Suppressing the World, Ye Qingxuan can currently only suppress those of the same realm.

The specific duration of suppression varies from person to person, since everyone's methods and trump cards differ.

However, if paired with the magic treasure that accompanies the divine technique—the Suppressing World Pagoda—Ye Qingxuan can suppress most Nascent Soul realm early-stage cultivators across realms. Even if Ye Qingxuan's Suppressing the World divine technique seed later advances to a true minor divine technique, the Suppressing World Pagoda will still serve as excellent support for the minor divine technique.

The Earth Immortal inheritance contains methods to forge Suppressing World Pagodas of various levels.

The lowest is a Suppressing World Pagoda of the inferior-grade spiritual artifact level.

The strongest, within the current inheritance below the Immortal Realm, is a Suppressing World Pagoda of the supreme-grade spiritual treasure level.

Once Ye Qingxuan cultivates the minor divine technique Suppressing the World to perfection and pairs it with a supreme-grade spiritual treasure level Suppressing World Pagoda, he will be able to easily suppress most Mahayana realm cultivators.

However, Ye Qingxuan is currently only condensing the divine technique seed of a minor divine technique; pairing it with the lowest-tier inferior-grade spiritual artifact is sufficient.

It is not that Ye Qingxuan cannot forge a medium-grade spiritual artifact.

Rather, with his current cultivation base, activating an inferior-grade spiritual artifact is already a struggle.

If he used a Suppressing World Pagoda of the medium-grade spiritual artifact level, he would likely exhaust his spiritual power after activating it once or twice.

Therefore, even after condensing the divine technique seed of the minor divine technique Suppressing the World and forging an inferior-grade spiritual treasure Suppressing World Pagoda, Ye Qingxuan will not use it for his Zifu realm incarnation.

At the very least, it must be a Jin Dan realm incarnation.

For now, only his external incarnation, Gui Xuanzi, can reserve a slot for an inferior-grade spiritual treasure Suppressing World Pagoda.

As for his Explorer incarnation, which he has not yet re-condensed, it depends on whether the primordial essence feedback from the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven advancing to a third-rank Grotto-Heaven is sufficient.

If this primordial essence feedback raises his cultivation base to the late stage of the Jin Dan realm, then the Explorer incarnation he condenses can smoothly reach the Jin Dan realm level.

If this primordial essence feedback can only raise his cultivation base to the mid-stage of the Jin Dan realm, then for the incarnation he condenses to reach the threshold of the Jin Dan realm, it will be somewhat uncertain.

To successfully forge a Suppressing World Pagoda below the spiritual treasure level, besides various spirit ore and auxiliary materials, the most critical material is the Boundary-Stabilizing Stone.

Ye Qingxuan currently has the various spirit ore and auxiliary materials in his inventory.

As for the Boundary-Stabilizing Stone, it is a special fifth-rank heavenly treasure primarily used as a main material for forging teleportation arrays.

The more Boundary-Stabilizing Stones used, the more stable the constructed teleportation array will be, and the greater the transmission distance.

As for inter-domain teleportation arrays, they require not only Boundary-Stabilizing Stones but also a large quantity of seventh-rank World-Suppressing Stones and a single tenth-rank World-Breaking Stone.

For a spiritual artifact level Suppressing World Pagoda, one only needs to refine the essence of the Boundary-Stabilizing Stone and merge it into the pagoda to upgrade its level.

For a spiritual treasure level Suppressing World Pagoda, each minor stage during the forging process requires the sequential use of seventh-rank World-Suppressing Stones, eighth-rank World-Suppressing Steles, ninth-rank World-Expanding Stones, and fragments of a world.

Among them, the Grade Eight Boundary-Suppressing Stele is crafted by inscribing a Grade Eight Boundary-Suppressing Formation onto Boundary-Suppressing Stone.

The heavenly treasures and earthly gems used in the later stages of the Boundary-Suppressing Pagoda—Grade Seven Boundary-Suppressing Stones, Grade Nine Boundary-Expanding Stones, and World Shards—

are actually some of the primary materials capable of accelerating the promotion speed of a Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

Unfortunately, these materials can be encountered but not sought; even if they appear, Ye Qingxuan's current wealth is insufficient to purchase them.

Otherwise, with a single Grade Seven Boundary-Suppressing Stone, the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land would have long ago promoted to Grade Three.

Why would it need to spend such a long time waiting slowly?

Ye Qingxuan currently does not possess the Grade Five Boundary-Stabilizing Stones required for a low-grade magic treasure-level Boundary-Suppressing Pagoda.

However, Ye Qingxuan is not in a hurry; as a commonly used material for teleportation arrays, Grade Five Boundary-Stabilizing Stones are not lacking in the Xuantian Sect's market.

He plans to refine three magic treasure-level Boundary-Suppressing Pagodas, which will not consume many Boundary-Stabilizing Stones for now.

But once his cultivation base rises and he needs to upgrade the Boundary-Suppressing Pagoda's grade, a significant amount of Boundary-Stabilizing Stones will then be required.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan directly sent a message to Zhu Dafu, instructing him to purchase Boundary-Stabilizing Stones, with a temporary target of ten thousand cubic units.

As for himself, he began secluding himself to comprehend the Minor Divine Art: Boundary Suppression, condensing the divine seed of Boundary Suppression.

Once the divine seed of the Minor Divine Art: Boundary Suppression is successfully condensed, he will have Ye Zhaoheng bring back the purchased Boundary-Stabilizing Stones.

It will not be too late to refine the Boundary-Suppressing Pagoda by then.
