Chapter 216: The Twenty-thousand-year Sun Wheel Tree
Although Yun Ye said that cultivating the Sun Wheel Tree does not require much time, that was only in comparison to others.
The actual cultivation is far more difficult than for other Spiritual Herbs.
In an area of 300 square units, about 2,000 Yang Lingzhi can be planted, so planting just one can directly accelerate growth by 2,000 times.
However, in the same 300 square units, only ten Sun Wheel Trees can be grown, so the acceleration can only be ten times.
Currently, the base acceleration in the Secret Realm is twenty times, and the same spirit energy allows for even greater acceleration.
But it’s not simply multiplied by two; through testing, it is approximately only 1.5 times.
With a spirit energy density of 100 points, the acceleration reaches 15 times, and when this base is multiplied by ten, it results in the actual acceleration factor.
Thus, it equals 150 times.
This number is not much different from the Xiang Family’s Spirit Land.
What truly expands the acceleration factor are the 3,000 top-tier Spiritual Herbs growing in the Spirit Land.
Each one provides 10 points of spirit energy, making the actual spirit energy density in the Secret Realm 30,000, ultimately allowing the growth acceleration to reach 45,000 times, which is about one hundred twenty years in a day.
Yun Ye planted the Sun Wheel Tree six months ago, so the current potency is twenty thousand years, and it will need another two years to reach the hundred-thousand mark.
However, the two harvests of ten thousand years are not trivial; they are just quite far from the hundred thousand years.
The ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruit is equivalent to two hundred years’ worth of ordinary Spiritual Herbs, and its blood and energy nourishing effect has greatly improved. The total potency of one hundred fruits completely surpasses that of a high-level Spiritual Herb.
Using alchemy to purify, combining one hundred fruits can even enhance their effectiveness several times beyond that of high-level Spiritual Herbs.
Yet, planting for several hundred years and consuming a large amount of spirit energy just to produce two or three high-level Spiritual Herbs?
If converted to smaller high-level Spiritual Herbs, more than ten could be created, which is truly not worth the cost.
"When I step into the spiritual realm and increase the area one hundred times, the growth speed will be equally enhanced. At that time, a million years will feel like just a moment… now that’s something to look forward to.”
One hundred fruits comparable to top-tier Spiritual Herbs would be a tremendous fortune for anyone who obtained them, a truly incredible opportunity.
…
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
Yun Ye sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, with a large amount of spirit energy flowing into his body, transforming into fire spirit energy and building intricate meridians.
Half an hour later, Yun Ye slowly opened his eyes, releasing a breath of turbid air.
The improved version of the Three Mystical True Fire Method was complete!
This was already the second Walking Law he mastered; the Xiang Yu Walking Law had reached perfection months ago.
With perfected Walking Laws, the efficiency of spirit energy extraction is twenty times what it was before, so cultivating the second Walking Law is naturally not difficult.
"Reaching this level at four years old is quite impressive."
Yun Ye pressed his wrist and stood up to leave.
With both Water and Fire Element laws combined, the power of All Things Silent was equivalent to laying out the Extreme Cold Great Formation.
He had already developed the initial self-defense capability.
There were countless monsters outside, and Yun Ye did not dare to be reckless. However, no one from the Xiang Family could threaten him now, not even that so-called Supreme Elder.
With this strength, Yun Ye felt a bit more confident about joining the core of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
Next, he would begin practicing the Origin Law and continuously engage in combat to hone his combat techniques.
The Xiang Family taught the Transformative Fist because this ordinary martial skill especially stirs up killing intent and strengthens confidence. Even if one strikes the heart while using the Transformative Fist, it doesn’t count as a fatal injury due to the lack of spirit, and the advanced Water Elemental Spiritual Law can quickly repair it.
The combat skills developed through this method can also be applied in battles involving Spiritual Laws.
Yun Wen and others from Baishi Town may not have experienced too many life-or-death situations, but their combat experience is quite rich, originating from these brutal trials.
Similarly, even civilians in Baishi Town train in the Tiger Fist to bolster their courage.
Having only posture without true heart is basic; one would shatter at a mere touch, unsuitable even to be cannon fodder, as resources cannot be wasted like this.
Since combat requires an opponent, Yun Ye sought out Xiang Baizheng.
"You want to challenge a Spiritual Law master in the family?" Xiang Baizheng asked in surprise.
"I have already completed the Water and Fire Element laws and need to accumulate combat experience," Yun Ye nodded.
"So fast? It seems you will soon approach the Heavenly Path. Very well, I will have a Spiritual Law master from the family assist you, but you cannot use your Spiritual Eye," Xiang Baizheng stated.
"I understand. If I use the Spiritual Eye, it loses the meaning of honing; I will limit myself to the clash of Spiritual Laws and physical techniques," Yun Ye replied.
…
"Ascending bloodlines are indeed much simpler; there’s no need to practice the Origin Law, and the Heavenly Path has already revealed itself."
"However, being too eager isn’t good." Yun Ye opened his eyes, revealing a faint smile.
He did not attempt to ascend the Heavenly Path.
Knowing the inner workings of the Heavenly Path and armed with the vast knowledge accumulated by Spiritual Law families, he would choose the most optimal route.
First, he needed to preliminarily complete the Origin Law!
Achieving a preliminary completion didn’t involve any dangerous aspects, so it was acceptable.
The remaining part would be completed through the Heavenly Path, allowing for a full upgrade.
"Swish!"
Yun Ye donned a blue luxurious robe and stepped out decisively.
The entire mansion where he resided was equipped with various defensive measures, and there were as many as ten guards.
Among them, there were even two in the spiritual realm.
Wenyun Town, with its abundant spirit energy, makes ascending bloodlines to the spiritual realm not too difficult. Over time, the Xiang Family has produced more than twenty individuals in the spiritual realm.
Even so, those in the spiritual realm hold considerable value.
Only individuals with ascending bloodlines could potentially ascend to the spiritual realm; while these individuals might not possess the same status and strength as the family head, they certainly outrank the family head’s children.
Talent is talent, and strength is strength.
Deploying two guards from the spiritual realm to protect him at all times indicated that Yun Ye’s talent completely surpassed theirs, and they viewed him as a reserve for law realms.
As Yun Ye stepped out, the guards naturally followed.
One of the spiritual realm guards said, "Young master, please go to the Nurturing Heart Pavilion before the hour of the Dog; the family head has something to instruct."
"The Nurturing Heart Pavilion, understood," Yun Ye nodded and continued on his way.
Today’s class would involve the instructor teaching Yun Ye various knowledge and principles.
The main purpose was to broaden his horizons; while gathering more information might not directly raise his intelligence, it would enable him to respond more flexibly and relaxed, thereby increasing Yun Ye’s chances of success.
The teaching location was a pavilion in the Xiang Family garden.
This pavilion was unique, featuring several bookshelves filled with books and a few tables and chairs, specifically designed for teaching and lively discussions. The setup and surrounding scenery indeed created a delightful atmosphere.
An elderly man with a handlebar mustache lay on a chair, leisurely reading a book. Upon seeing Yun Ye arrive, he did not lift his head and said, "The family head has already informed me about you. Since that’s the case, today we will discuss the Heavenly Path."
This elder was also in the spiritual realm, but at over one hundred eighty years old, with his time nearing an end and the future uncertain, he had chosen to embrace a life of relaxation.
His knowledge was commendable, which is why he was assigned to teach Yun Ye.
"Teacher, please begin," Yun Ye sat down, listening attentively.
