Chapter 3: Thorough Mastery It was late at night, and the bright white moon hung high in the sky, emitting endless moonlight, covering the land of East Wilderness with a layer of silver sand, adding a sense of an ancient mountain range in the Eastern Wilderness, a powerful wave of energy and blood suddenly erupted. The energy spread to an area of hundreds of miles, sweeping across large tracts of forest like a hurricane, causing the trees to sway and fall down continuously. A magnificent blood-red light shot up into the sky, illuminating all directions. People with poor eyesight could see the light and feel the dazzling light even if they were hundreds of miles away. Ye Tianming stood on the top of a mountain, and the blood in his body circulated rapidly. Every muscle, blood vessel, bone, and opened acupoint of the divine stone spirit fetus were mobilized by Ye Tianming. "Extreme Dragon Fist!" After Ye Tianming performed the Ultimate Dragon Fist, his black hair fluttered and a powerful blood energy rushed out from his head, transforming into a powerful blood dragon. The skin of the divine stone spirit fetus began to produce patterns similar to dragon scales, and there seemed to be a wild dragon rampaging inside its body. Then Ye Tianming punched the top of the mountain underground hard. The whole mountain began to shake violently under his punch, dust rose up, and the mountain continued to crack. Ye Tianming jumped up and directly crossed a distance of ten thousand feet, escaping from the collapsing mountain. …… Looking at the mountains in front of him that he had flattened with brute force, Ye Tianming took a deep breath, and the released energy and blood began to slowly contract. "I have finally completely integrated my soul into it and gained control of this divine stone fetus."
Ye Tianming whispered to himself. After a few days of adaptation, coupled with his skyrocketing spiritual power, he can now be said to have basically mastered the divine stone spirit fetus. Now Ye Tianming has not yet cultivated his mind to the level of a human immortal, and his mind is not as good as that of a true human immortal master. However, in terms of combat power, he can be said to be a martial arts human immortal. Even because the divine stone spirit fetus absorbed a large amount of essence of heaven and earth in the world of Shrouding the Sky, its physique grew greatly, and its strength was enough to easily defeat martial arts immortals. However, Ye Tianming didn't care about the spiritual aspect. Anyway, the essence of martial arts in the Yangshen world was to cultivate the 129,600 acupoints in the human body, and eventually shatter the boundaries between reality and illusion, time and space, and become an existence at the level of shattering the vacuum. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you don’t cultivate your mind. There are many treasures that can help cultivate your mind anyway. Besides, the Yangshen world is one of the originators of the Chi Ren school. For the cultivators in those worlds, there is no better way to practice than eating. Those cultivators at a high level are simply living treasures of heaven and earth. As long as you devour them, it is possible to reach their level and obtain their skills, realm, bloodline, etc. By eating the body left by a martial arts master at the Shattering Vacuum level, one may become Shattering Vacuum. By eating the thoughts left by a Taoist master at the Yang God level, one may also become Yang God. In the Yangshen world, breakthroughs in cultivation can be solved by devouring. If you can't break through, it means you haven't devoured enough. ... The Qi and blood in the body of the divine stone spirit fetus circulated freely, and the hundreds of orifices in its body continuously absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, constantly strengthening itself, while at the same time making up for Ye Tianming's losses in these days and replenishing the depleted Qi and blood. Fortunately, although the world of Shrouding the Sky has fallen into the Dharma Ending Age, with heaven and earth devouring all living things, causing the lifespan of cultivators to be reduced to only one in a hundred, and the strongest humans only having a lifespan of ten thousand years, there is still a large amount of heaven and earth essence in the universe, nourishing the growth of a large number of powerful monsters of flesh and blood. As a result, Ye Tianming only needed to inhale and exhale the essence of heaven and earth and devour the flesh and blood of those monsters to replenish his losses. He didn't have to eat several elephants for every meal like those martial arts immortals in the Yangshen world, who could eat an average sect into bankruptcy. Moreover, eating those ordinary foods can only maintain basic needs and cannot make the body continue to grow. It also takes several hours to eliminate impurities, wasting time for martial arts training and shortening the lifespan of human immortal masters. After all, if a human immortal master does not break through to the realm of one orifice connecting a hundred orifices, his lifespan is only twice that of a normal person, which is only 200 years. Only when a human immortal breaks through to the level of one orifice connecting a hundred orifices can his lifespan exceed a thousand years and be comparable to that of a ghost immortal master. …… According to Ye Tianming's current estimation, with the divine stone spirit body he possesses, coupled with other miscellaneous means, he should be able to fight with the cultivators in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm, or even kill them. If the divine stone spirit fetus absorbs enough essence of heaven and earth and grows further, Ye Tianming can even fight against the cultivators in the Four Poles Secret Realm, but all this will have to wait until the fight comes. Ye Tianming is satisfied with his current strength, but he still knows that he has some shortcomings that need to be made up. For example, although he now has the power to kill Dao Palace Secret Realm, he has no ability to fly without the help of other means. After all, the world of Zhetian is not like the world of Yangshen. In the world of Zhetian, any cultivator who has cultivated to the realm of Mingquan can turn into a rainbow and fly. And they are not like the ghost immortals in the world of Yangshen. Their souls will be restrained by the extremely yang and strong blood of human immortals, making it difficult for them to fly. Ghost immortals may even be roared to death by Ye Tianming now. For the cultivators practicing the Secret Realm Technique, Ye Tianming's roar was at most just a bit noisy to them and could be easily blocked. It would not affect their combat effectiveness at all. In addition, the Taoist magic practiced by the Secret Realm Technique was not as weak as those ghost immortals who had not survived the thunder tribulation.
If a cultivator from the Taoist Palace Secret Realm were to fight against Ye Tianming, just standing high in the sky and flying a kite, using Taoist long-range attacks would be enough to make Ye Tianming uncomfortable, unless Ye Tianming cultivated the divine stone spirit embryo to the realm of one hundred orifices and possessed the ability of extremely fast flight in the physical body, he would not suffer a disadvantage in flying. And the most important thing is, since Ye Tianming's original body has disappeared, most of the Taoist techniques he practiced in his original body, except for the Taoist techniques that only use his soul and physical body, need to be re-cultivated on the divine stone spirit fetus before they can be used. "I have to open up a sea of suffering on the divine stone spirit fetus, cultivate to the life spring realm again, gain the ability to fly, and make up for my shortcomings!" Ye Tianming quickly moved away from the mountain range, preparing to find a new place to use as a cave for his retreat, and start practicing the Wheel Sea Secret Realm again on the divine stone spirit embryo.
