Chapter 473

Within the newly reconstructed spiritual energy void realm.

Seventeen profound principles revolved around Ye Qingxuan's Primordial Spirit body, with colorful Dao-imbued auroras flowing.

Making him appear like a creator deity manifesting between heaven and earth.

Golden lotuses bloomed out of thin air above the earth and the void, swaying, while purple qi spread for hundreds of thousands of miles in the high sky.

Compared to the spiritual energy void realm at the peak of the Void Penetration realm, Ye Qingxuan's current spiritual energy void realm was fully ten times larger.

After casting a glance at his current spiritual energy void realm, Ye Qingxuan withdrew his gaze and immersed his mind into the seventeen profound principles he controlled.

In the next moment, the seventeen profound principles surrounding Ye Qingxuan's Primordial Spirit body.

Began to evolve into deeper layers, transforming toward the Seven-Tenths Realm.

After Ye Qingxuan's Primordial Spirit revived and reformed, he had already completely mastered his own power.

This time, as his Primordial Spirit differentiated and merged into the creation of the spiritual energy void realm, it underwent the baptism of destruction, creation, energy, and principles.

When the spiritual energy void realm was reforged, his Primordial Spirit had thoroughly stepped into the level of the Emptiness Realm.

Moreover, his spiritual energy void realm was originally opened up by his own Primordial Spirit.

During the process of opening it, his Primordial Spirit transformed into the will of heaven and earth within the spiritual energy void realm, guiding and controlling all changes within it.

Therefore, after breaking through the realm.

Even though his power had surged across a leap, he could still easily master all of his own power.

Under Ye Qingxuan's control.

His seventeen profound principles temporarily broke free from the suppression of the spiritual energy void realm, merged with Ye Qingxuan's comprehension, and began their long-overdue transformation.

Because Ye Qingxuan had a deep foundation in comprehending principles.

In just three months, his seventeen profound principles all broke through to the Seven-Tenths Realm, entering the stage of great perfection.

After Ye Qingxuan's profound principles broke through.

Even with Ye Qingxuan's suppression and restraint, the profound principles at the stage of great perfection were still beyond what his current spiritual energy void realm could bear.

It was seen that after the seventeen profound principles evolved to the Seven-Tenths Realm, the entire spiritual energy void realm was shrouded by a sense of oppression.

The newly formed spiritual energy void realm even began to tremble slightly because of this.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan did not let the original forms of his own profound principles remain long within the spiritual energy void realm.

With a thought, he caused the seventeen Seven-Tenths Realm profound principles to each differentiate a Six-Tenths Realm principle projection to merge into the spiritual energy void realm.

Ye Qingxuan's Primordial Spirit then carried the original forms of his seventeen profound principles, broke through the void, and returned to his consciousness space.

Outside, within the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes, and within them appeared the strange phenomenon of sun and moon reversed and stars flowing.

A spiritual Dao-imbued aura overflowed from his body, rapidly spreading outward.

Wherever it passed, flowers, grass, and trees swayed and grew quickly, emitting a feeling of joy from the very essence of their lives.

The old body wrapped around Ye Qingxuan's new body began to dissipate into points of starlight.

When all of the old body had transformed into Dao, it was replaced by a body radiating a crystal-clear luster.

As soon as this body appeared, it seemed to become the center of a world.

Various elemental energies and spiritual energy swirled actively around Ye Qingxuan's new body, seeming eager to rush into his body and become part of his physique.

Various Dao mechanisms and principles manifested out of thin air around Ye Qingxuan's new body, as if heaven and earth were personally explaining the ultimate truths of the world to him.

In his movements, formless Dao-imbued auras flowed, bestowing blessings upon the living beings of the surrounding heaven and earth.

Ye Qingxuan slowly stood up, sensed his current state, and chuckled lightly, saying:

"Is this the Emptiness State of the Emptiness Realm?"

After a cultivator breaks through to the Emptiness Realm, their comprehension will undergo a massive permanent increase, finally entering a constant Emptiness State.

Although this Emptiness State is not as good as the state of sudden enlightenment, it can greatly reduce the difficulty for cultivators to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth.

Although the Emptiness State is merely icing on the cake for Ye Qingxuan's comprehension.

Because of the existence of the Immortal Soul, Ye Qingxuan's comprehension had long ago reached the Immortal Realm level.

However, to avoid accidentally comprehending something his body could not bear.

Under self-protection, Ye Qingxuan's comprehension had always been suppressed by his realm.

After every breakthrough in cultivation base, his comprehension would be unlocked to a great extent.

Therefore, the increase in comprehension and the Emptiness State brought by breaking through the Emptiness Realm were merely icing on the cake for him.

But for other cultivators, the Emptiness State is an excellent characteristic for comprehending the principles of heaven and earth.

Many cultivators with slightly inferior comprehension rely on the increase in comprehension and the characteristics of the Emptiness State brought by breaking through the Emptiness Realm.

To continue comprehending deeper profound principles, breaking through all the way to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and even the Mahayana Realm.

Besides this.

The second great benefit brought to cultivators by breaking through the Emptiness Realm is the Emptiness Body.

Compared to the Void Penetration Body, the Emptiness Body, in addition to a massive increase in body strength and evolutionary level.

Also possesses the characteristic of the physical Emptiness State.

Under the physical Emptiness State, cultivators can not only absorb spiritual energy to increase their cultivation base.

They can also absorb various other mid- and low-grade alien energies, converting them into their own cultivation base.

This point is something the Void Penetration Body of the Void Penetration Realm does not possess.

The dual Emptiness State of the physical body and the Primordial Spirit is the origin of the Emptiness Realm in the Earth Mystery Realm.

Once cultivators in the Earth Mystery Realm break through the Emptiness Realm, they can initially break free from the constraints of the cultivation environment and delve into the void to absorb mid- and low-grade void energy for cultivation.

However, compared to spiritual energy, the effect of Earth Mystery Realm Emptiness Realm cultivators absorbing other alien energies for cultivation is much worse.

Depending on the degree of repulsion between other alien energies and spiritual energy.

Cultivators in the Void Emptiness Realm show vast differences in the hierarchy of foreign energies they can absorb, as well as in their absorption and conversion efficiency.

Most energies generated within the void, for instance, do not conflict with spiritual energy.

Cultivators in the Void Emptiness Realm can directly absorb low to mid-tier energies of the first to sixth tiers and convert them into their own cultivation base.

Moreover, their absorption and conversion efficiency is nearly identical to that of spiritual energy of the same tier.

As for energies like demonic qi, which clash significantly with spiritual energy, cultivators in the Void Emptiness Realm can still absorb and convert them.

If the demonic qi is of a low tier, it is manageable.

However, absorbing mid-tier demonic qi becomes much slower.

Some cultivators in the early or mid stages of the Void Emptiness Realm cannot even absorb sixth-tier demonic qi to convert it into their own cultivation base.

It can be said that whether it is the Primordial Spirit's Void Emptiness State or the Physical Body's Void Emptiness State, both represent a tremendous advancement for cultivators of the Earthly Profound Realm.

Ye Qingxuan might not place great importance on the Primordial Spirit's Void Emptiness State, but he absolutely cannot ignore the benefits the Physical Body's Void Emptiness State brings him.

After all, as a cultivator's cultivation base continuously rises and their physical body keeps undergoing metamorphosis, this Physical Body Void Emptiness State will continue to evolve and perfect itself.

In the future, the Physical Body Void Emptiness State will undoubtedly provide him with considerable assistance.

Within the chaotic myriad worlds, not all worlds possess spiritual energy as their transcendent energy.

Take, for example, the Green Demon Realm currently invading the Earthly Profound Realm.

The transcendent energy within that world is demonic qi, which is incompatible with spiritual energy.

After comprehending the changes of the Void Emptiness Realm,

Ye Qingxuan, relying on his control over the Green Profound Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, shifted his attention to the transformed Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

After evolving to the seventh tier,

the Green Profound Cave Heaven and the Green Profound Blessed Land each generated a seventh-tier spiritual vein, over a dozen fifth and sixth-tier spiritual veins, and nearly a hundred spiritual veins below the fifth tier.

Now, the entire Green Profound Cave Heaven and Blessed Land possesses:

three seventh-tier spiritual veins, nine sixth-tier spiritual veins, thirty-six fifth-tier spiritual veins, and countless spiritual veins below the fifth tier.

With a single step, Ye Qingxuan arrived at a special area for planting spiritual herbs within the Green Profound Cave Heaven.

This spiritual land was planted with white lotuses, purple bamboos, and armor vines, all possessing an innate life essence at the seventh tier.

Due to the influence of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land's evolution and the unfolding of heavenly and earthly laws, these three special spiritual herbs—white lotus, purple bamboo, and armor vine—have already advanced to the seventh tier.

Among them, the seventh-tier armor vine has already reached the limit of its own life essence.

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand, and a suit of armor woven from green vines detached freely, rapidly shrinking and flying into his hand to hover there.

After the armor suit detached freely, the remaining fragments of the seventh-tier armor vine merged into a beam of light, reforming into a green seed.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"Is this a seed of the seventh-tier armor vine? I didn't expect it to be a sustainable resource for low-grade magic treasures."

Ye Qingxuan had originally thought that once a special spiritual herb like the seventh-tier armor vine fully matured and became a magic treasure, it could no longer condense a new seed.

He never expected such an unexpected surprise.

A seventh-tier special spiritual herb capable of continuously producing low-grade magic treasures holds significantly greater value.

With a wave of his hand, he replanted the seventh-tier armor vine seed in the same spot, gathering vast amounts of spiritual energy and creative life force to form a special spiritual rain to nourish the seed.

Only then did Ye Qingxuan focus his attention on the floating green armor suit in his right palm.

Sensing the fluctuation of laws emanating from the green armor suit in his hand, Ye Qingxuan expressed slight disappointment:

"A life law of the One-Formation Realm? It's just a one-star low-grade magic treasure?"

Although somewhat disappointed, this result was within Ye Qingxuan's expectations.

After all, the seventh-tier armor vine had just advanced to the seventh tier and immediately reached its own limit.

It was entirely reasonable that it only nurtured a life law of the One-Formation Realm.

Looking at the armor suit woven from primordial green vines in his hand, Ye Qingxuan spoke again:

"From now on, I shall call you Life Armor Vine!"

As soon as the words fell, the armor suit in Ye Qingxuan's hand flickered slightly; the true name 'Life Armor Vine' had already been branded into its core.

Flipping his palm, he stored the one-star low-grade magic treasure, Life Armor Vine.

Ye Qingxuan then looked at the remaining ninth-grade white lotus and the nine-jointed purple bamboo in the adjacent spiritual land.

Although the life essence of the white lotus and the purple bamboo was also merely at the seventh tier,

unlike the seventh-tier armor vine, they had not reached their own limits upon advancing to the seventh tier.

Clearly, the magic treasures eventually formed by the seventh-tier white lotus and purple bamboo would not be limited to one-star low-grade magic treasures.

However, whether they would ultimately grow into two-star or three-star low-grade magic treasures,

Ye Qingxuan could not determine for now.

After leaving this area,

Ye Qingxuan descended once again to various other locations within the Green Profound Cave Heaven.

This time, the Green Profound Cave Heaven and Blessed Land advanced to the seventh tier, and due to the influence of the unfolding heavenly and earthly laws,

many of the spiritual herbs planted by Ye Qingxuan, whose life essence was already at a high tier, accelerated their growth and evolved to the seventh tier.

Besides the seventh-tier armor vine, seventh-tier white lotus, and seventh-tier purple bamboo,

a portion of the Spirit-Gathering Grass, Spirit-Purifying Trees, Earth-Spirit Flowers, and the Enlightenment Tea Tree, which was originally at the sixth tier, have all now risen to the seventh tier.

The seventh-tier Enlightenment Tea Tree has truly lived up to its name.

Its tea leaves, when consumed by any cultivator below the Void Emptiness Realm, can directly induce a state of sudden enlightenment.

Even cultivators in the Void Emptiness Realm, after drinking it, can enter a shallow state of comprehending the Dao, assisting them in contemplating the laws of heaven and earth.

In addition,

the Thunder Source Fruit Tree, originally planted by Ye Qingxuan with a life essence at the ninth tier, has now also grown to the seventh tier.

As for the Golden Source Fruit Tree, Wood Source Fruit Tree, Fire Source Fruit Tree, and Void Source Fruit Tree that Master Cen Zhe of Ye Qingxuan gave him, which were planted in the subsequent period.

Although they have not yet grown to the Seventh Tier, they have already reached the level of the Sixth Tier.

Besides these spiritual plants.

The various spiritual beast clans that Ye Qingxuan raised freely within the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land have also expanded very rapidly over these years.

Although constrained by the essence of life, and coupled with the fact that Ye Qingxuan did not cultivate them specifically.

The spiritual beasts Ye Qingxuan raised freely, such as the Myriad Flower Spirit Butterfly and the Spirit-Containing Bee, and the semi-spiritual beasts the Eight Treasures Chicken, Fragrant Pig, and Spirit Rabbit.

Although their numbers grew on a massive scale, their tiers did not improve significantly, with very few breaking through the shackles of their life essence.

With Ye Qingxuan's current strength and foundation, these spiritual beasts and semi-spiritual beasts can no longer provide him with much help.

Now, Ye Qingxuan regards the Myriad Flower Spirit Butterfly and Spirit-Containing Bee as ornamental spiritual beasts, while the Eight Treasures Chicken, Fragrant Pig, and Spirit Rabbit are merely for occasionally satisfying his cravings.

Most of the Myriad Flower Spirit Butterflies, Spirit-Containing Bees, Eight Treasures Chickens, Fragrant Pigs, and Spirit Rabbits that have bred within the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

Have been exchanged and consumed by the cultivators under Ye Qingxuan's command through the exchange lists of the various cities under his rule, as well as the many blessed cultivators within the Qingxuan Grotto.

Now, the main function of the Myriad Flower Spirit Butterfly, Spirit-Containing Bee, Eight Treasures Chicken, Fragrant Pig, and Spirit Rabbit is to fill the resources within the exchange treasury under Ye Qingxuan's command.

As for the Earth Spirit Turtle, whose life level was originally the Sixth Tier, its numbers have remained at ten, with no increase or decrease whatsoever.

Over these years, the vast majority of the Earth Spirit Turtles' time has been spent in slumber.

The growth speed of the Earth Spirit Turtle is extremely slow; even after hundreds of years, they have only grown to the Third Tier level.

However, during the Earth Spirit Turtle's slumber, it seems to have been affected by something unknown, and their life essence has been improving imperceptibly over these years.

Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan did not pay much attention.

Because the growth speed of the Earth Spirit Turtle is simply too slow.

Instead, the Earth Dragon, which has lived deep within the spiritual veins of the earth and is not very conspicuous, has given Ye Qingxuan a great surprise.

The Earth Dragon can unblock the energy of spiritual lands and accelerate the flow of energy within them.

Earth Dragons of the Fifth Tier and above can even connect lower-tier spiritual veins to one another, accelerating the growth speed of the spiritual veins.

Moreover, through observation over these years, Ye Qingxuan discovered that Earth Dragons can be influenced by high-tier spiritual veins to elevate the level of their life essence.

Hundreds of years have passed, and as the number and tier of spiritual veins within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land continue to rise.

The batch of Earth Dragons raised by Ye Qingxuan, which originally could only grow to a life level of the Fourth Tier, have undergone continuous metamorphosis in their life levels.

Nowadays, seven Earth Dragons within the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land have grown to the Sixth Tier level.

The number of Fifth Tier Earth Dragons has even reached several hundred.

The reason why the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land generated more and more lower-tier spiritual veins during its promotion process is all thanks to these Earth Dragons.
