Chapter 243: Focused on Training
"This magical artifact is amazing; it just swallowed a small lake and a group of small hills."
"It’s got mountains and water inside, so it’s like a private scenic spot."
"With the pulling force of this artifact and the capacity of the space inside, it feels like Yi Chen created it to take the citizens of the Great Flame Kingdom away when facing strong enemies."
"If this artifact had an even larger capacity, it would be tailor-made for the Federation Military. Wherever you go, you could pull out a fleet."
In the live room, there were gasps of wonder.
With the technology level of the human federation, transforming a planet is easy; emptying a small lake and a few small hills is even simpler.
However, using one powerful move to transfer a piece of landscape into a canvas is something entirely different.
Yi Chen’s Map of Mountains and Rivers seemed to open another window for the entire Federation of Humanity.
Owning such a magical artifact is like having a small world that belongs entirely to oneself, where one can arrange things as they please.
…
After gathering the mountains and waters needed for the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Yi Chen turned his gaze to Bai Ruo Xin.
He quickly dismissed the thought.
Bai Ruo Xin’s strength realm was respectable, and with the help of the Spirit Pill and Comprehension Stone, she had already broken through to the sixth level of the Heart Tribulation Stage.
However, this strength realm was insignificant compared to the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Although the Map of Mountains and Rivers was only a sixth-grade artifact, its pulling force was absurdly strong, far beyond what Bai Ruo Xin could resist.
He could only test it on himself.
With a wave of his hand, the Map of Mountains and Rivers soared up to about a kilometer above him.
With a thought, a pulling force surged toward him.
His body involuntarily flew towards the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
In his Qi Sea, the spirit power surged quickly, trying to counteract the pulling force.
But as his body flew toward the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he immediately forced himself to stop in mid-air.
Under Yi Chen’s control, the pulling force of the Map of Mountains and Rivers suddenly reached its maximum.
Whoosh…
No matter how much spirit power he summoned from his Qi Sea, it could not withstand this pulling force.
His body shot forward like a bullet, swiftly covering the distance and landing right in front of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
He dived inside.
"……"
Inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Yi Chen was at a loss for words.
It seemed the pulling force of this artifact was incredibly powerful, so strong that even his own strength realm couldn’t resist it from a kilometer away.
With his current strength realm, it was clear that using only spirit power would not be enough to resist. He needed to create a set of skills that would allow him to be as steady as a mountain.
Otherwise, he would have to find out the weaknesses of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers had many weaknesses.
The biggest one was that it lacked the ability to restrain, and there were no offensive capabilities inside.
Once sucked into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, it would be very easy to escape.
Another major weakness was that the defensive power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers was not high.
Although Yi Chen had added many spirit mines to increase its defensive strength, allowing the Map of Mountains and Rivers to withstand powerful attacks, this only meant that the base strength of the artifact was high enough to resist impacts. Without the appropriate materials, it did not perform remarkably.
Just like earlier.
While he couldn’t withstand the pulling force of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he managed to swing his sword toward it before being pulled inside.
Due to the material strength of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, even though his Sword Energy was extraordinarily powerful, it would at most leave a few sword marks.
However, the entire Map of Mountains and Rivers would be sent flying thousands of miles away by that Sword Energy.
If the Map of Mountains and Rivers was sent flying, even if its strong pulling force still locked onto him due to the distance, the force would be significantly weakened.
This magical artifact was incredibly powerful just because of its terrifying pulling force.
If it were used alongside the Binding Immortal Rope, escaping would be nearly impossible.
Moreover, the terrifying pulling force generated by the Map of Mountains and Rivers could yield extraordinary results when combined with the Heaven-Slashing Technique.
However, if other aspects were not improved, the weaknesses were painfully obvious.
Especially if an opponent was aware of these weaknesses, it would be incredibly easy to counter them.
Flying out from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Yi Chen waved his hand.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers quickly shrank and was stored in his storage ring.
"We can go back now."
Yi Chen called out to Bai Ruo Xin.
"Is it all done testing?" Bai Ruo Xin asked in surprise.
"I couldn’t test it. My strength isn’t enough," Yi Chen admitted. He had no way of determining the maximum extent of the pulling force of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, even he couldn’t figure it out.
Fortunately, there were no powerful enemies he needed to face directly; knowing the general idea was enough.
For the Map of Mountains and Rivers to truly unleash its power, those flaws still needed to be addressed.
For now, its primary value was its ability to quickly bring the entire population of the Great Flame Kingdom into safety.
When faced with invincible strong enemies, it could ensure the safety of the citizens of the Great Flame Kingdom.
"Are we going back so soon?"
Bai Ruo Xin seemed a bit reluctant.
Squeak, squeak…
The Little Gold Ball also expressed its feelings immediately.
"As long as you both don’t disturb me, you can go wherever you want!"
Yi Chen was indifferent.
When he returned to the palace, he would be cultivating in the flying treasure.
If he didn’t go back, he would still be cultivating in the flying treasure; it wouldn’t make much difference.
At most, he would receive news from the Great Flame Kingdom, which would be slightly troublesome.
But since Bai Ruo Xin was the leader of the Intelligence Organization, this little trouble was hardly worth mentioning.
"Don’t worry, I won’t interrupt your cultivation!"
Bai Ruo Xin showed a happy expression.
The Little Gold Ball nodded its head vigorously, like a chick pecking at grains.
For Yi Chen, whether he returned to the palace or stayed outside, he was still cultivating in the flying treasure.
For Bai Ruo Xin and the Little Gold Ball, however, there was a huge difference between the two options.
Yi Chen said no more, flying back into the flying treasure and entering the main hall.
With a wave of his hand, a vast amount of spirit stones poured out of his storage ring, piling up into a small mountain in the main hall.
The Spirit Gathering Formation could absorb outer world spirit energy.
But with his current strength realm, the amount of spirit energy required for cultivation had reached an astonishing level.
The consumption rate was far beyond what the Spirit Gathering Formation could replenish; he needed to use a large number of spirit stones to catalyze the formation into a purer form of spirit energy.
Soon, he entered a meditative state and focused on his cultivation.
To break through from the Spirit Enlightenment Stage Five to Stage Six with his extraordinary talent as the strongest of humanity would take him about five years.
However, he had an extraordinary and continually rising talent bonus.
Currently, the four armies had risen to eighty thousand troops, coupled with a large number of fierce beasts he had tamed, making their strength incredible.
The Universal Militia system that the Great Flame Kingdom was promoting also greatly assisted in expanding their influence.
Their area of control had now surged to over ninety-six million square kilometers.
The bonus to his talent had reached an impressive 96 times.
Thanks to this extra talent bonus, the five-year timeframe was shortened to about eighteen days.
Now, with the Spirit Gathering Formation, the results were even better than cultivating with the spirit stones.
According to Yi Chen’s estimates, he could break through to Spirit Enlightenment Stage Six in no more than six days.
This meant that moving from Spirit Enlightenment Stage Five to Stage Six would only take him six days.
If this word got out, all the powerful individuals across the star cluster, including the Ten-Armed Tribe and the Frenzied Tribe, the allies of the human federation, would not hesitate to join forces to kill Yi Chen at any cost.
A talent of this level was no longer something that could merely lead one race to change the dynamics of the star cluster, but someone who could, with mere personal strength, alter the entire star cluster’s landscape.
No matter how talented he was, he still had to face the tests of the heavens, as the limits of this star cluster could only reach level one hundred fifty.
But a talent of this caliber had reached the point where anything was possible; the sooner they dealt with him, the better.
Even the Federal Parliament and the Military of the human federation might change their attitude towards Yi Chen because of this.
After all, Yi Chen belonged to humanity but was not a member of the human federation.
Even if Yi Chen were a part of the human federation, if his strength increased at such a rapid pace and he hadn’t reached his limits, it would at least pose a tremendous threat to the power of the Federal Parliament and the Military.
