Chapter 397: Effort Cannot Match Talent, But a Cheat Can

Upon reaching the Void Penetration Realm, a cultivator's body undergoes a comprehensive transformation.

External constraints on the spiritual meridians are greatly reduced.

The gap between cultivators' talents will not shrink but instead widen.

After the Void Penetration Realm, the gap between every minor realm is enormous.

Except for the restrictions of the profound rules.

To fill the spiritual power void and expand and refine it to the perfection of the Void Penetration Realm.

Reaching the minimum standard to reopen heaven and earth and advance to the Empty Mystery Realm.

The total amount of spiritual power required is unimaginable.

Those with insufficient talent.

May remain at the Void Penetration Realm level for their entire lives.

Ye Qingxuan's cultivation speed could increase by about double on its original basis.

But rather, the profound rules of the Two-Fold Realm.

Yet Ye Qingxuan's comprehensive cultivation speed.

Ye Qingxuan is different.

Continuously infusing his own profound rules and spiritual power.

Seeing this, a sharp light flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

The elevation of the grade of the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

Has now successfully advanced to the mid-stage of the sixth rank.

However, that is only for ordinary Void Penetration Realm experts.

The talisman before Ye Qingxuan began to tremble slightly.

The gap between him and other Void Penetration Realm experts will also be pulled wider and wider.

Before the Void Penetration Realm, constrained by his own weak body.

His cultivation speed.

Also accelerated the derivative speed of Ye Qingxuan's spiritual roots.

One hand continuously formed profound talismanic patterns, merging them into the talismanic patterns transforming before him.

After a cultivator undergoes tempering by profound rules and a comprehensive, massive transformation.

One shi later.

Another year passed.

A genius like Liu Tai'an was like a dragon entering the vast ocean.

The terrifying cultivation speed brought by his spiritual root talent would be fully revealed.

Time flowed on.

Although still not as good as Liu Tai'an.

As the master of the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, his spiritual roots could gradually perfect themselves and derive more spiritual roots.

Compared to some geniuses with around ten-element spiritual roots, he was not inferior.

With Ye Qingxuan's infusion of profound rules and spiritual power.

One hand stabilized the infusion of profound rules and spiritual power.

It would likely take only a hundred years to fully derive them.

Within the Qingxuan Grotto.

Ye Qingxuan sat atop the mountain peak, directing into the talisman before him.

The Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land had already absorbed the batch of resources sent by Ye Qingxiao.

It would gradually accelerate as the spiritual roots gradually perfected.

It was just that what Ye Qingxuan infused this time was not the profound rules of the One-Fold Realm.

In the years since Ye Qingxuan refined the seventh-rank Origin Elixir.

But upon reaching the Void Penetration Realm.

With each additional element of spiritual root, under the resonance and mutual amplification of all spiritual root elements.

The talent gap between him and Liu Tai'an would also gradually narrow.

Plus, when his Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land advanced ranks, there would be origin feedback.

Time flowed on.

Now, Ye Qingxuan's seventh-element spiritual root.

A genius like Liu Tai'an might be unable to fully unleash his own spiritual root talent.

Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base improvement speed had already surpassed his own talent limits.

"Voom!"

Accompanied by a faint humming sound from the talismanic patterns.

Ye Qingxuan successfully infused a complete set of Two-Fold Realm profound rules into the talisman before him.

At this moment.

Ye Qingxuan finally refined the first mid-grade seventh-rank talisman of his life.

Officially entering the mid-stage seventh-rank talisman path domain.

He lightly exhaled a turbid breath.

Ye Qingxuan reached out and drew the nearby mid-grade seventh-rank talisman into his hand.

Carefully examining this mid-grade seventh-rank talisman he had refined, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He put away the talisman.

He was just about to press his advantage while the iron was hot.

To continue forging the next Grade Seven Mid-Tier talisman and solidify his Mid-Stage Grade Seven Talisman Dao realm.

He did not expect that at this moment.

The disciple token hanging at Ye Qingxuan's waist suddenly trembled slightly.

"At this time, who could be looking for me?"

Out of curiosity.

After Ye Qingxuan sent his spiritual sense into his disciple token.

A moment later, Ye Qingxuan looked surprised and said:

"Junior Brother Liu? He has returned?"

He knew well.

That his junior brother Liu had been in the Outer Battlefield all these years.

Fighting against the powerful of the Green Demon Clan to temper himself.

It was not just Liu Tai'an.

Within the Profound Heaven Sect and other hegemonic powers.

The vast majority of Cave Void Realm disciples.

Had basically been confronting the powerful of the Green Demon Clan in the Outer Battlefield these years.

Now that Liu Tai'an suddenly returns, could it be that a new change has occurred in the Outer Battlefield?

Carrying the doubts in his heart, Ye Qingxuan took a step out to the stone pavilion in the outside world.

At this time, a figure with hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance, was already waiting there at the edge of the stone pavilion.

"Junior Brother Liu, many years have passed, I hope you are well!"

Seeing this figure, Ye Qingxuan spoke first.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's voice, Liu Tai'an turned around.

Looking at Ye Qingxuan's face, he smiled lightly and said:

"Many years have passed, Senior Brother, you are still as dashing as ever!"

At this moment, Liu Tai'an wore a white long robe, his long hair bound by a sword-shaped hairpin.

A trace of bloody killing qi surrounded his body, obviously indicating he had just returned from the battlefield.

Compared to before.

Liu Tai'an's words and deeds carried a bit more majesty and grandeur.

No longer as constrained and rigid as before.

Perceiving Liu Tai'an's change, Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly and extended a hand to gesture:

"Junior Brother Liu, please sit!"

Speaking thus, Ye Qingxuan also sat down opposite Liu Tai'an.

With a wave of his hand, an exquisite tea set appeared on the stone table before him.

As the Dao Fire rose to boil the water.

Ye Qingxuan sensed Liu Tai'an's aura and asked subconsciously:

"Junior Brother Liu, has your cultivation base broken through?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, Liu Tai'an was slightly surprised.

However, he did not think too much, nodded slightly, and smiled lightly:

"Hehehe, yes. Junior Brother was fortunate to gain some harvest in the Outer Battlefield, and my cultivation base has successfully broken through to the Empty Void Realm."

However, Liu Tai'an's cultivation base was not Early-Stage Empty Void Realm, but Mid-Stage Empty Void Realm.

Although Liu Tai'an did not have the primordial feedback upon advancing to a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

He had fought in the Outer Battlefield for many years and slain quite a few powerful ones of the Green Demon Clan.

After offering the corpses of these Green Demon Clan members as sacrifices.

The primordial feedback Liu Tai'an received from the Earthly Profound Realm was no less than the feedback Ye Qingxuan received when his Cave Heaven and Blessed Land advanced.

It was even a bit more.

After all, Liu Tai'an stayed in the Outer Battlefield for several hundred years.

The harvest within can be imagined.

Plus, Liu Tai'an's talent was already astonishing and brilliant.

The shackles of the realm could not delay him for too long.

Therefore, Liu Tai'an was able to break through to the Mid-Stage Empty Void Realm cultivation base in such a short time.

Hearing Liu Tai'an's words.

Even though Ye Qingxuan had been prepared in his heart, a feeling of envy still rose.

He worked himself to death scraping for resources and nurturing his Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

His growth speed, after all, still could not compare to a true heaven's favorite.

However, this was only temporary.

The longer the time, the greater his advantage would be.

The gap between him and his junior brother Liu would also gradually narrow.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan's heart returned to calm once more.
