Chapter 255: The Era of True Immortals
Yun Ye entered a cycle of daily cultivation.
However, the wealth in his hands flowed out endlessly, allowing him to purchase a considerable amount of top-tier spirit materials.
Simply put, he wanted to create a laboratory for himself within the Secret Realm to extend his Source Law.
This clearly required vast expenses, as he was manufacturing most of the instruments for the first time, constantly adjusting them, leading to a very high failure rate.
To equip all the necessary facilities, not only did he need a large amount of money, but also a substantial amount of time.
After a rough calculation, Yun Ye realized that three hundred thousand silver taels were completely insufficient; he would need at least one million silver taels.
He had no idea how long it would take to earn that amount from the Spirit Land, so Yun Ye had to prepare multiple plans.
One of them was to sell the ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruits.
In this spirit energy-rich environment, ordinary spiritual herbs could sell for several hundred silver taels at most, while high-level spiritual herbs generally ranged from a few thousand to tens of thousands.
However, the value of top-tier spiritual herbs is truly limitless, as they are typically reserved for personal use, which drives the price sky-high.
Starting prices are at least one hundred thousand silver taels, and selling just two or three would be sufficient.
As for the subsequent coveting that would arise…
“I am a True Disciple of Qushuang!”
Yun Ye had already thought of how to respond.
Lan Wuyin was a remarkably strong figure within the Twelve Systems, boasting seven peerless talents and twenty-seven prodigies—each backed by countless legends.
In comparison, his little opportunity was nothing!
Moreover, he was a puppet of Lan Wuyin; if higher-level opponents wanted to target him, they would inevitably be blocked by Lan Wuyin.
What does this mean?
It shows a deep master-disciple bond!
So deep that it could be considered as his own!
“A good backup plan—”
“Then there’s the second option, the Secret Realm competition of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect!”
That’s right.
Another Secret Realm.
As a great power, the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect naturally had control over Secret Realms, and not just one.
The Qushuang Dao System alone held two major Secret Realms, while the entire Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect controlled a total of thirteen Secret Realms!
According to the notification from the San Cai branch, a Secret Realm would open within two years, which would be a grand event for the entire Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
All talents would have the opportunity to showcase their abilities, allowing each branch to reassess their potential.
At the same time, disciples who ranked highly in this Secret Realm competition could earn "merit."
Merit is necessary for advancing ranks; without it, no matter how strong one is, they cannot become a True Disciple, Summit Master, Chief, or even a System Master.
“Rain World Secret Realm!”
“It is an extremely simple environment, entirely the home ground for Water Elemental Spiritual Law practitioners, containing numerous treasures and many elixirs to enhance one’s cultivation level. It opens once every sixty years.”
“It also holds inheritance and has never been passed through.”
Yun Ye’s gaze sharpened.
According to the notification from the San Cai branch, this inheritance has thirteen trials, just like the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon.
And this one barrier alone had blocked the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect for a thousand years, with no one passing through!
Yun Ye checked with his token and discovered that the records also mentioned the Crescent Moon Secret Realm in Baishi Town.
As the overlord of the entire Huangzhou, the super prodigies of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect had naturally challenged the Crescent Moon Secret Realm.
But they all faced the same result; even those who had once ranked among the four supreme geniuses returned in defeat.
After countless attempts, the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect confirmed that it was impossible for anyone to pass the Unmatched and Undefeated trials, gradually giving up their coveting of the ancient inheritance.
Now, the Unmatched and Undefeated trials serve solely as a measure of talent; the more one passes, the stronger their talent.
But what did the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect confirm to believe that no one could pass the Unmatched and Undefeated test?
“It’s simple. These Secret Realms were left behind ten thousand years ago, in the era of… True Immortals.”
It’s that simple.
Ten thousand years ago, since the soil could give birth to True Immortals, it must have been an era when the immortal path reached its peak.
What does it mean for the immortal path to reach its peak?
In simple terms, it refers to the accumulation of bloodlines and power, reaching the limit, an era where there was no further advancement possible.
For example, the birth of the five-element body, instinctively mastering the ultimate elemental spirit, capable of freely merging multiple spiritual laws, born holy and standing at the finish line from the start.
This was the era of the ultimate immortal path, a time that saw countless figures so terrifying they were almost unimaginable, characters rivaling even the future Path Lord.
To become a supreme genius in such an era, one had to be powerful, undefeated, and beyond imagination.
The same applies to Thunder True Feather and other supreme geniuses.
After the catastrophic war ten thousand years ago, the inheritance of the immortal path was scattered, and a mere ten thousand years of recovery is hardly sufficient to return to present standards.
Inside the Luo Dynasty, it is hard to say whether there are five levels of spiritual law, but within the Luo Dynasty, there are absolutely none, not even in the Holy Sect or Holy Lineage.
Under these circumstances, wishing to surpass the supreme geniuses of the immortal age—I can’t say it is entirely impossible, but it would be like dreaming.
“The Rain World Secret Realm will open within two years? I should start preparing. The thirty thousand silver taels from the Xiang Family, along with the output from the Spirit Land, will be enough to sustain for a year or two.”
With a clear goal, Yun Ye began his endless cycle of cultivation, along with studying spirit herb cultivation techniques and alchemy skills.
He continuously observed the properties of the Wind Trees to study what the Wind Tree Liquid truly was.
Soon, he discovered the secret.
The Wind Trees are quite unique; they condense a special light blue mist, which is nearly invisible, clinging to the surface of the trees and enhances understanding.
If the mist is allowed to cover the Wind Trees, dyeing the branches and leaves blue, the result will be that nearly all nutrients are drained away, causing the Wind Trees to grow slowly.
This makes perfect sense.
The mist, formed over a century, has the effect of enhancing understanding, and it naturally consumes a great amount of energy.
“This must be the Protection Fee, right? Condensing this mist from the leaves as a reward for protecting themselves from (monsters or humans). Therefore, although growth is slow, it provides endless resources.”
Yun Ye prepared the spirit liquid and watered the trees.
Immediately, the color of the entire tree faded rapidly, looking completely different from the two Wind Trees on Cangqing Mountain.
This is natural; Xu Yue needed to protect the secret he discovered, so he would keep the color unchanged.
“Ten thousand years, accomplished.”
After about two months, Yun Ye harvested his first batch of three-patterned tea leaves and began his bold journey of consuming spirit pills.
To enhance the effects, Yun Ye even refined them into spirit pills named “Insight Pills.”
Their effects far exceeded the pills used in Baishi Town to accelerate spiritual cultivation.
Those things hardly qualified as low-grade spirit pills; they were merely ordinary objects.
But Yun Ye’s Insight Pills were genuine mid-grade spirit pills, with some even being high-grade.
This was due to the quality of the spiritual herbs. With Yun Ye’s alchemy skills, he hadn’t yet mastered the crafting of mid-grade spirit pills with ease.
With such divine pills in hand, Yun Ye’s progress in spiritual cultivation, which had begun to slow, accelerated once again.
The manufacturing of various instruments also became much smoother.
He had only planted one Wind Tree, and the return on investment was simply spectacular.
