Chapter 526: The Profound Heaven Secret Realm, the Gap Brought by Talent

Ever since the last inspection mission ended and Ye Qingxiao returned to the Profound Yi Tianzong only to find no success in reuniting with Ye Qingxuan.

He spent the contribution points he had accumulated over these years to exchange for a quota to enter the Profound Heaven Secret Realm, beginning to seclude himself there to comprehend rules and seek a breakthrough in his cultivation base.

"The Profound Heaven Secret Realm?"

However, after hearing "Profound Heaven Secret Realm," Ye Qingxuan, who was hearing about this secret realm for the first time, couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

Looking at Ye Qingxuan's surprised expression, Ye Qingxiao only then realized that Ye Qingxuan actually didn't know about the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm."

After the initial astonishment, Ye Qingxiao, having recovered, immediately began to boastfully introduce the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" to Ye Qingxuan with high spirits.

"That's right? The 'Profound Heaven Secret Realm' isn't exactly a secret within our Profound Yi Tianzong, Qingxuan, you couldn't possibly not know, right? Hehe, let me tell you..."

Ultimately, after Ye Qingxiao's series of introductions and combined with Ye Qingxuan's own analysis, Ye Qingxuan finally had a preliminary understanding of the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm."

The "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" was a cave heaven secret realm forcibly opened by the first ancestor of the Profound Yi Tianzong with his own powerful cultivation base, and it is also the largest secret realm currently controlled by the Profound Yi Tianzong.

Although the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" did not incorporate world-creation items like World Beads as a foundation when it was opened, resulting in it lacking the potential for self-growth.

But for millions of years, the high-order cultivators of the Profound Yi Tianzong whose lifespans were nearing their end and were about to pass away have basically all Dao-transformed themselves within the Profound Heaven Secret Realm, using their own cultivation bases and rules to fill and forcibly expand the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm."

Although during this process, most of the energy and rule sources were reclaimed by the Di Xuan Realm when the high-order cultivators Dao-transformed.

But as the place of Dao-transformation for high-order cultivators, the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" would ultimately still retain a portion of energy and rules, used to subtly create and nurture the space of the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm."

It is just that the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" ultimately cannot grow on its own.

Even if there is a continuous stream of high-order cultivators Dao-transforming within the secret realm to forcibly expand the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm."

But after expanding to a certain extent, the energy and rules incorporated when high-order cultivators Dao-transform begin to have a negligible effect on the expansion of the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm."

After millions of years of evolution, the size of the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" is only comparable to the area of a superior large province in the Di Xuan Realm.

The only thing worth praising is that the continuous stream of high-order cultivators Dao-transforming in the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" over millions of years has caused the growth rate of the spiritual veins within the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" to rise significantly.

Up to now, although no Tenth Order spiritual vein has been born in the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm," nine Ninth Order spiritual veins have been born.

Unfortunately, due to the large number of high-order cultivators Dao-transforming in the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm," the large amount of energy and rules dissipated during Dao-transformation have entangled with each other to form places of energy riots and rule disorder.

The rioting energy and disordered rules in these special territories require the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" itself to absorb and digest them over a long period of time before they can subside.

Forcibly suppressing and eliminating them would only damage the foundation of the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm," so the Profound Yi Tianzong can only let them be and let nature take its course.

And this has led to the fact that most areas in the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" cannot allow cultivators to practice with peace of mind, and it is even impossible to open up spiritual fields to plant spiritual herbs.

Except for the cave dwellings opened by the Profound Yi Tianzong within the nine Ninth Order spiritual veins using high-order arrays, there are very few places in other regions that are calm and have gentle spiritual energy.

However, although most places in the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" are not suitable for cultivators to meditate and practice, or to inhale and exhale spiritual energy.

But the rule fragments that dissipate in various parts of the space in these territories, which evolve in a disorderly manner from time to time, are chaotic and changeable, and remain, are the best places for cultivators to comprehend introductory rules.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Qingxiao spent the contribution points he had accumulated over these years to exchange for a quota to enter the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" to comprehend rules and seek a breakthrough.

It is just that after struggling to comprehend for decades in the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm," Ye Qingxiao ultimately failed to successfully comprehend rules and condense the source of rules to reach the threshold of breaking through to the Void Penetration Realm.

After learning about Ye Qingxiao's situation, Ye Qingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he calmly poured a cup of tea for himself and Ye Qingxiao, asking while opening his mouth:

"Then what are your plans next?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's inquiry, Ye Qingxiao looked at the teacup in front of him without the slightest mood to drink tea, scratched his head somewhat irritably, and said unwillingly: "I plan to leave the Profound Yi Tianzong to travel in the Di Xuan Realm for a while. If that really doesn't work, I will enter the Qingmo Realm to experience life-and-death tempering and seek a breakthrough."

His temperament is naturally quite impatient, and after finally settling down to seclude himself for decades, he was unable to break through as he wished.

Since that is the case, he does not plan to continue to seclude himself and practice quietly in a regular manner, and is prepared to leave the Profound Yi Tianzong to gain experience first.

Anyway, the sect inspection mission he performed last time took hundreds of years, and after the mission ended, he had a long time to practice on his own, without needing to perform sect missions anymore.

Looking at Ye Qingxiao's impatient appearance, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and said:

"Don't be in a hurry yet, calm down and finish the tea in front of you before talking."

"What's wrong with this tea? It's not like I haven't drunk this Enlightenment Tea of yours before. Although it can still have a slight effect of calming the mind and spirit for me now, that's all it is."

Seeing Ye Qingxuan asking him to drink tea, Ye Qingxiao rolled his eyes directly.

However, having said that, Ye Qingxiao still honestly picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

But what Ye Qingxiao didn't expect was that just after drinking the tea in the cup, a mysterious and profound energy immediately surged into his sea of consciousness and wrapped around his Primordial Spirit.

"This tea...?"

Ye Qingxiao, who noticed something was wrong, stood there blankly with his mouth slightly open, but before he could finish speaking, a continuous stream of spiritual inspiration appeared in his mind, bringing him into an epiphany.

What Ye Qingxiao didn't know was that what he drank at Ye Qingxuan's place hundreds of years ago was only Fifth Order Enlightenment Tea.

And what Ye Qingxuan gave him to drink now was Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea mixed with Seventh Order Enlightenment Tea.

It wasn't that Ye Qingxuan was reluctant to give Ye Qingxiao Seventh Order Enlightenment Tea directly.

It's just that no matter how good Seventh Order Enlightenment Tea is, the increase in comprehension it brings is ultimately just an external force, which cannot compare to the innate comprehension brought by Ye Qingxuan's fairy soul.

If a cultivator's comprehension is affected by external forces and increases too much in a short period of time, and the range of the leap is too large, exceeding the upper limit that the cultivator's innate essence can bear.

Then this will only be counterproductive, causing the cultivator's Primordial Spirit to fall into the crisis of Dao-transformation.

Therefore, although Ye Qingxuan wanted to help Ye Qingxiao, he did not take the risk of letting Ye Qingxiao take Seventh Order Enlightenment Tea directly.

Looking at Ye Qingxiao, who was gradually wrapped in Dao rhyme, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly with great satisfaction.

He stroked his sleeves somewhat lazily, picked up the teacup in front of him, and slowly tasted the charm of the Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea mixed with Seventh Order Enlightenment Tea with his eyes slightly closed.

However, as time passed, the Dao rhyme surrounding Ye Qingxiao slowly dissipated.

After Ye Qingxuan did not detect any fluctuation of the source of rules on Ye Qingxiao, a look of regret couldn't help but appear on his face.

This Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea only has the best effect when taken for the first time.

Ye Qingxiao did not break through this time, and the probability of him wanting to use the effect of Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea to break through next time will be greatly reduced. However, although Ye Qingxiao failed to comprehend the power of rules and make a breakthrough, Ye Qingxuan was not disappointed.

Because with Ye Qingxiao's spiritual root talent, the difficulty of wanting to break through to the Void Penetration Realm is inherently extremely great.

Coupled with the fact that Ye Qingxiao is too young now, he can only be considered a junior among the Deity Transformation Realm cultivators with average talent.

Lacking the accumulation of time, the failure to break through this time did not exceed Ye Qingxuan's expectations too much.

Except for a very small number of individual cases.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator's spiritual root talent and comprehension talent are linked, so cultivators with better spiritual root talent basically do not have too bad innate comprehension talent.

This is the gap in the essence of life between cultivators from the very beginning.

Many cultivators think that breaking through a realm only requires a flash of inspiration, but they don't know that the appearance of this flash of inspiration cannot be separated from the accumulation and precipitation of time.

It is not to say that without sufficient accumulation and precipitation of time, a cultivator cannot have a flash of inspiration and make a breakthrough.

It is just that the more accumulation and precipitation of time, the greater the probability that a cultivator will have a flash of inspiration and successfully break through.

It seems that they are all cultivators who have experienced the same amount of time, but the higher the talent of the cultivator, the faster the speed of accumulation and precipitation will be, and the greater the probability of having a flash of inspiration and making a breakthrough.

Besides that, the process of a cultivator taking heavenly treasures is also equivalent to shortening this accumulation time.

Just like Ye Qingxiao now, after decades of seclusion and comprehension in the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm," as well as the epiphany brought by the Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea now.

Although Ye Qingxiao still hasn't been able to make a breakthrough, his accumulation has increased significantly, and the probability of having a flash of inspiration and successfully breaking through in the future will also increase significantly.

This is also the reason why all forces like to recruit talented cultivators.

Geniuses with better spiritual roots are not only faster in spiritual energy accumulation and easier to reach the limit of the current realm, but even the accumulation of perception of heaven and earth will be faster, making it easier to make breakthroughs in realms.

Under these circumstances, the probability of disciples with better talent breaking through to high-order cultivators will be greater, and the resources consumed will also be less, so how could major forces not like them?

If the path of cultivation is compared to a long-distance run, then a person's talent is acceleration, and the heavenly treasures taken during the long-distance run are a one-time, time-limited super acceleration.

After running for a distance, the cultivator has the opportunity to jump to another track.

But the further you run forward, the greater the probability of getting this jumping opportunity and heading to another track.

Others can soar into the sky by virtue of acceleration, while you need to spend a lot of time or resources to walk the distance that others walked inadvertently.

This is the gap in talent.

It is precisely because of this that although the great world of cultivation after the two worlds bordered has arrived, major forces still prefer to recruit disciples with good talent.

Now hunting the Qingmo tribe can shorten the process of spiritual power accumulation, and everyone is about the same in this regard.

But the gap in comprehension is not so easy to shorten.

The temporary comprehension improvement obtained by sacrificing the source of the magic vein can also be seen as taking some kind of one-time heavenly treasure, it's just that this kind of heavenly treasure has no drug resistance.

Two cultivators in the same realm are fighting in the Qingmo Realm to obtain the source of the magic vein.

Those with good talent may be able to grasp the opportunity to make a breakthrough by sacrificing one source of the magic vein, while those with poor talent may need to sacrifice several or even more than a dozen sources of the same magic vein to do so.

This is also why many strong people with mediocre talent, who have gone through all kinds of hardships and consumed unimaginable resources to grow up with difficulty, do the first thing after their cultivation reaches a certain level is to reshape their foundation and talent.

Those who say talent is not important are just those who have no talent.

If they had excellent talent from the beginning, the time and difficulty for them to grow up would definitely be greatly reduced on the original basis.

"It's a pity, in the end, it still fell short. This thin line is like a natural chasm."

After the Dao rhyme around Ye Qingxiao dissipated, Ye Qingxiao, who had detached from the state of enlightenment, opened his eyes and said with great regret.

Looking at Ye Qingxuan opposite him, who had been smiling and looking slightly calm, Ye Qingxiao couldn't help but ask:

"Qingxuan, what kind of tea is this? The effect is actually so heaven-defying?"

After years of contact, he knew that this brother of his who walked out of the clan together was not simple, but he still didn't expect that this brother of his could easily take out such precious heavenly treasures.

"This is also Enlightenment Tea, but it's just Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea."

Facing Ye Qingxiao's inquiry, Ye Qingxuan did not hide it.

Although Ye Qingxiao knew about the existence of the Tianfu shop, Ye Qingxiao, who had just left seclusion, did not know that Ye Qingxuan's Tianfu shop had already been promoted to a star-level shop.

So he didn't know about the existence of Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea and Seventh Order Enlightenment Tea at this time.

Looking at Ye Qingxiao's amazed appearance, Ye Qingxuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then laughed and scolded:

"Alright, stop making an amazed look, this Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea won't be missing your share."

Saying that, Ye Qingxuan threw a box of Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea that had already been prepared to Ye Qingxiao.

"However, this Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea only has the best effect when taken for the first time, and the probability of you wanting to use Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea to make a breakthrough is not high."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Qingxiao, who took the Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea, smiled and said:

"It's okay, if the effect of continuing to take it is not great, doesn't that mean there is still an effect?"

"Besides, my Xueqing hasn't drunk it yet, I can take it back for my Xueqing to drink."

Yu Xueqing's talent is a five-element spiritual root, which is not even as good as Ye Qingxiao's now; after returning from completing the inspection mission with Ye Qingxiao, Yu Xueqing also entered the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" to seclude herself and seek a breakthrough.

It's just that unlike Ye Qingxiao's impatient temperament, although Yu Xueqing failed to break through, she was not in a hurry to leave the "Profound Heaven Secret Realm" and leave seclusion.

Regarding how Ye Qingxiao planned to use the Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea, Ye Qingxuan didn't care at all, so he said nonchalantly:

"As you wish, when are you planning to leave the Profound Yi Tianzong next? To gain experience alone?"

Since the Sixth Order Enlightenment Tea failed to let Ye Qingxiao break through, Ye Qingxuan estimated that he would not change his experience plan.
