After all, in this universe, the Great Thousand Worlds dominate the entire universe, and the cultivation methods in the Great Thousand Worlds are naturally the mainstream of the entire universe.
For an existence like the Star Emperor, who has already reached the pinnacle of the lower plane, the only cultivation techniques that would be of interest to him are the top-tier spiritual techniques within the Great Thousand Worlds...
Thinking of this, Ye Chen smiled slightly.
It feels like I've been reborn...
Of course, even the cultivation methods of the vast world are not difficult for Ye Chen to cultivate now, especially at this low level.
To put it bluntly, whether it's the vast world or a lower plane, all so-called cultivation techniques initially aim to achieve personal transformation and advancement. With Ye Chen's current level of cultivation, these techniques pose no bottleneck for him whatsoever.
After condensing his spiritual wheel, Ye Chen carefully absorbed the abundant energy from the outside world into his body again. He then discovered that his spiritual wheel had directly entered a saturated state, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart...
"As expected, after the Spirit Wheel Realm comes the Divine Soul Realm. At this realm, cultivation in the Great Thousand Worlds begins to touch upon and control the soul. Just this alone is far superior to the cultivation methods of Battle Qi..."
Thanks to his terrifying soul power, although Ye Chen is currently multitasking, while controlling the power of origin to evolve elements and construct the continent, he can still spare a little attention to worry about his cultivation.
This gave Ye Chen a lot of time to change his cultivation method.
With Ye Chen's attention diverted, the spiritual energy wheel within his body had already stopped operating...
Ripples of spiritual energy rippled across the surface of the light wheel, and then Ye Chen felt his spiritual energy begin to surge out from his meridians, finally condensing on the light wheel.
As spiritual energy gathered, and the light dissipated, a small, cross-legged figure appeared on the halo of spiritual energy...
Upon closer inspection, one can see that the light and shadow seem to resemble Ye Chen's appearance somewhat, but it is too blurry to be seen clearly.
In the instant that tiny light and shadow coalesced, a wondrous feeling welled up in Ye Chen's heart. Then, with a thought, his vision began to change, and he transformed into the tiny light and shadow sitting cross-legged on the spiritual energy wheel...
Ye Chen had experienced this situation several times before, so he wasn't too surprised. However, those were the soul clones that emerged when his soul power broke through to the Heavenly Realm.
As for his breakthrough to the Emperor Realm Soul, he was already able to differentiate into a soul clone with a physical body and strength comparable to his original body, which is much stronger than the so-called Divine Soul!
However, all of this is based on the premise of a powerful soul realm. According to Ye Chen's calculations, the Divine Soul Realm in the Great Thousand World is at most similar to the Fighting Spirit and Fighting King... At such a realm, the soul power of cultivators on the entire Dou Qi Continent is still just a phantom, without even a form, let alone the ability to condense into a shape, because that is a state that only a soul that has reached the Spirit Realm can possess!
"Oh right, I seem to remember that in spiritual energy cultivation, after reaching the Divine Soul Realm, one gains a unique ability to refine the essence of all beasts. Should I try it out?"
Refining the essence is a very powerful aid for spiritual power cultivators in the early stages. The stronger the bloodline of the refined essence, the greater the cultivator's strength and potential will be...
This is considered an excellent method for improving oneself, developed and created over countless years within the cultivation system of the vast world.
Although Ye Chen is still in the Dou Qi Continent, with his current strength and status, obtaining a powerful Myriad Beast Essence would be a very simple matter...
Moreover, these are all powerful bloodlines that are no less than those listed on the mythical beast rankings.
Ancient Heavenly Demon Python, Nine Netherworld Python, Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, and even the Primordial Ancient Dragon...
Well, the latter two seem a bit difficult to deal with. After all, he has two women, one is the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, and the other is the Dragon Emperor. Although they would definitely be willing to part with them if he asked, Ye Chen himself would not want to put his women in a difficult position because that would be too selfish.
"Hmm, actually that old geezer Huang Tian is not bad..."
A five-star Dou Sheng Heavenly Demon Phoenix, while not comparable to a true ancient Heavenly Phoenix or Phoenix, is definitely a top-ten contender on the Earth Ranking.
However, after considering it for a while, Ye Chen gave up on the idea.
After all, he did not grow from nothing in the real world. He did not need the so-called essence to reach the peak realm, so there was no need for him to follow the way spiritual cultivators in the real world.
After the Divine Soul Realm, there should be the three realms of Heavenly Fusion Realm, Heavenly Transformation Realm, and Heavenly Connection Realm...
Ye Chen quickly calmed his mind, making his heart as calm as a deep pool. At the same time, he quietly activated the Myriad Transformations Star Scripture, absorbing the dense spiritual energy that had been mobilized from the surrounding space and turned into a tangible substance.
Within his dantian, Ye Chen's divine soul, perched atop the spiritual energy wheel, also sat peacefully, his small hands forming cultivation hand seals, his expression equally solemn...
The so-called "Merging with Heaven" realm means merging one's divine soul with the heavens and earth. Only by breaking free from the constraints of the physical body and merging with the heavens and earth can one reach the level of mobilizing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This is extremely important.
However, while it might be difficult for others for the divine soul to break free from the constraints of the physical body, it was an easy task for Ye Chen.
Therefore, what was a difficult hurdle in the eyes of countless people in the vast world was something Ye Chen couldn't withstand for even a second, and he broke through it directly...
At this moment, Ye Chen also felt his heart expand considerably, as if his every move could merge into this world and mobilize the vast spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
"Hmm, it feels really good."
Looking at his own body, which had become round and smooth, Ye Chen realized that the little thing had now taken on a somewhat substantial form.
With a thought, the tiny divine soul that was originally sitting cross-legged in Ye Chen's Qi Sea Spirit Wheel suddenly leaped out and rushed out into the outside world through the Heavenly Gate above Ye Chen's head...
This divine soul is not in the form of a complete soul, so even when it comes to the outside world, it is not afraid of the influence of the surrounding environment. This made Ye Chen sigh for a long time.
After merging with the heavens comes the transformation of the heavens...
If the Fusion Realm allows one's soul to merge with the heavens and earth, thereby manipulating the surrounding spiritual energy and unleashing the power to destroy mountains with every move, then the Transformation Realm allows one's soul to merge into the heavens and earth, breaking free from the constraints of the Qi Sea and the physical body, achieving a state where one can conceal oneself at any time, making it difficult for others to detect.
When attacked, experts at the Transcendent Realm can merge their bodies into the heavens and earth, thus reducing the damage they suffer. This method is truly wondrous.
"To become one with the heavens and earth, even a Dou Sheng couldn't do that, right?" Ye Chen exclaimed, his eyes shining.
It's not that the Transformation Realm is comparable to the Battle Saint; it's just a difference in abilities brought about by different cultivation methods. If we're simply talking about the intensity of energy attacks, a Battle Saint could crush their opponent with one hand, no matter what kind of world they're in. At worst, they could just shatter the surrounding world...
After reaching the Transformation Realm, a person's spirit is no longer bound by the physical body and can move freely. The next three realms, the Heavenly Connection Realm, allow the spirit to roam freely, reaching the heavens and the earth, achieving a state where the spirit is separated from the physical body and can roam the world without perishing.
The Three-Day Realm represents an evolution of the spiritual soul and a transformation of the essence of life for spiritual cultivators. Only by reaching this level can one be qualified to pursue higher realms and to transform from an ant into a powerful being...
Below the supreme being, all are but ants; this is the true reflection of the vast world!
Taking a deep breath, after undergoing the baptism of the Three-Day Realm, Ye Chen was finally able to begin pursuing the so-called Supreme Realm...
Of course, before that, there are three more tests for him to overcome, which are known as the Supreme Three Tribulations!
The Supreme Three Tribulations are: the Physical Tribulations, which are mainly for strengthening the physical body; the Spiritual Tribulations, which are for strengthening spiritual power and improving its quality; and the Divine Soul Tribulations, which are for final tempering of the divine soul with the Triple Divine Soul Fire, thereby forging the foundation of the Supreme in three aspects!
This process took Ye Chen a full month, longer than all his previous cultivation levels combined!
Finally, after passing the test of the three divine flames, Ye Chen completed a transformation and sublimation in terms of physical body, spiritual power, and divine soul. He decided to embark on his path to supreme power!
The first step to becoming a supreme being is to shatter the Qi Sea within the body and give birth to the Supreme Sea...
This Supreme Sea is extremely mysterious. When Ye Chen first saw its description in the Myriad Transformations Star Codex, he was quite surprised.
Because this so-called Supreme Sea is not simply located within the human body, but rather it is a small world created within the human body...
This is not a space created by a Dou Sheng powerhouse in the Dou Qi Continent. This small world is hidden inside the human body, and it is more secretive, vast and powerful than the Qi Sea.
Once the Supreme Sea is formed, cultivators can hide their divine soul within it. Even if their physical body is accidentally destroyed later, their divine soul can still survive. As long as they cultivate a physical body again, they can make a comeback.
In this respect, it is something that the Dou Qi system cannot compare to... Although some people with strong soul power on the Dou Qi Continent can still survive for a long time after death, if they want to be resurrected, it is only possible if someone has the ability to create a new body for them.
Of course, the Soul Clan can also help people "resurrect," but that kind of resurrection only gives these souls the means to exist like normal people for a long time. They are neither human nor ghost, and it is completely different from resurrection!
"Then let me see what this so-called Supreme Sea is really like..."
Muttering something to himself, Ye Chen began to manipulate the surrounding spiritual energy, which surged in at an astonishing speed and continuously poured into his body.
This process was unlike before, when it would only take a few moments to fill the body. This time, absorbing spiritual energy took a full day…
When Ye Chen felt a stinging pain in his Qi Sea and meridians, he finally stopped what he was doing. A moment later, he opened his mouth and inhaled, and a torrent of spiritual energy rushed into his Qi Sea, which had reached its limit.
The next moment, his Qi Sea exploded!
boom!
The moment his dantian exploded, Ye Chen's body was struck as if by lightning, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead and slid down his face.
An indescribable, excruciating pain spread throughout Ye Chen's body, almost tearing away his reason...
Chapter 536 The Formation of the Dharma Body
Such a self-destructive act of destroying one's Qi Sea is absolutely insane in the Dou Qi Continent. It's like someone directly detonating their own Dou Crystal, which is simply courting death.
After experiencing the initial excruciating pain, Ye Chen quickly calmed down.
At this moment, the immense spiritual power within his body, freed from the restraints of his Qi Sea, immediately began to disperse throughout his body, even showing signs of dissipating...
This was naturally within Ye Chen's expectations, so he directly separated some of his soul power to bind this energy within his own body.
Then, at the site of the already exploded sea of qi, a tiny point of light suddenly flickered. The point of light seemed so small as to be almost negligible, but at that moment it unleashed a powerful suction force.
woohoo hoo...
The immense suction force spread outwards, instantly enveloping every corner of Ye Chen's body.
The next moment, the previously rampant spiritual energy slowed down and began to surge rapidly toward the direction of the tiny point of light.
This point of light is none other than Ye Chen's Supreme Sea!
Soon, the spiritual energy within Ye Chen's body was completely absorbed by the Supreme Sea, but this was not the end...
The baptism emanating from the light spot quickly began to spread outwards, until Ye Chen's entire body became a huge black hole, still continuously absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world.
With a thought, Ye Chen's consciousness entered the point of light, and a vast and endless ocean appeared before his eyes.
Within the ocean, spiritual energy surged, but to call it an ocean was still a bit too little. So what Ye Chen needed to do next was to fill the Supreme Sea as much as possible and bring it to a perfect state.
If this were in the vast world, having reached this stage, one would either need to consume the Supreme Pill or the Supreme Elixir to help oneself achieve the perfection of the Supreme Sea.
If one were to rely solely on their own cultivation, it would take a very long time…
However, this is not a big problem for Ye Chen. He now has enough time and enough spiritual energy to support him in improving his Supreme Sea.
In fact, this is the best choice, and the foundation for a supreme being is the most solid. But the reality is that if there is a shortcut, who would choose to waste their precious time?
A vast amount of spiritual energy continuously flowed into Ye Chen's body, and after being refined, it flowed into his Supreme Sea...
Faced with such a long and continuous infusion, the Supreme Sea was like a bottomless pit, accepting everything without reservation and swallowing it all into its body.
However, during this process, Ye Chen finally understood why most people in the Great Thousand Worlds chose to use external forces at this stage, because the process was too long and the capacity of the Supreme Sea was truly astonishing!
Of course, this is not unsolvable...
Ye Chen quickly formed hand seals, and then a faint dragon's roar came from beyond the sky. Then, boundless star power passed through the world barrier and was projected onto Ye Chen's body.
Subsequently, the spiritual energy in the entire first space surged and, guided by the star power, transformed into a galaxy that flowed across the entire space and finally entered Ye Chen's body.
Instantly, Ye Chen felt the absorption speed and amount of spiritual energy in his Supreme Sea increase a hundredfold!
This is the power of the Myriad Star Codex, granting Ye Chen the ability to control all the stars anytime, anywhere...
This period lasted for more than half a year. Even the Pure Lotus Demon Flame outside felt that the energy concentration in this space had decreased by a full 30%. Finally, the terrifying suction force in Ye Chen's body disappeared, and the myriad rays of starlight that originally descended from the sky turned into specks and dissipated in the sky.
Ye Chen remained seated quietly, like a rock. In the very center of the space, a continent spanning thousands of kilometers had already taken shape. Moreover, around this continent, countless elements of the five elements continued to combine and regenerate new landmasses...
All of this left the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, who had been silently watching, feeling utterly bewildered.
Just like Ye Chen now, even though he's sitting there, as soon as the Pure Lotus Demon Flame closes its eyes, he feels that there's nothing in front of him...
In other words, at this moment, Ye Chen has completely merged into this world. Unless you look at him with the naked eye, no sensory ability can detect his presence!
"What exactly is Master doing...? Why can't I see his cultivation level at all right now...?"
Judging by energy levels, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame could tell that Ye Chen's cultivation level was inferior to its own, yet it still felt a sense of inability to defeat him.
The next moment, Ye Chen, who had been deathly silent, suddenly exuded an invisible aura, which even caused the unprepared Pure Lotus Demon Flame to take a few steps back...
If anyone in the vast world were to feel this pressure at this moment, they would surely recognize that this is the true power of a supreme being!
"Hmm, I've finally perfected the Supreme Sea. It was really exhausting..." Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, feeling a little excited.
When he saw the floating continent in his own space, he felt even better.
"How long have we been here in total?" Ye Chen turned to look at the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and asked.
"Reporting to Master, if we start counting from when we first entered this place, it has been a total of twelve years and four months..."
Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully, "Twelve years and four months, which is one hundred and forty-eight months, or more than four thousand three hundred days. According to the time flow between here and the outside world, less than three months have passed on the Dou Qi Continent..."
In such a short time, the Soul Clan might not even have started searching for the Dou Di's cave. Besides, the Soul Clan is in such a dire situation right now, so if the Soul Emperor wants to do anything, he must first make full preparations. Otherwise, he'll just be giving Gu Yuan and his ilk an opportunity!
Most importantly, the soul jade he left for Ziyan and the others has not reacted, which means that nothing has changed on the continent yet.
In particular, Ye Chen had already begun planning for the Black Corner Region a long time ago, so once a Dou Di's cave was discovered, it would not escape his notice.
"Looks like we still have plenty of time..."
Ye Chen smiled gently and addressed the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
The latter stood silently with his hands at his sides, not saying a word, because he had no idea what had happened to his master...
Of course, Ye Chen didn't care.
He was now planning to take advantage of this time to cultivate the Supreme Dharma Body...
A supreme powerhouse without a Dharma body cannot be considered a true supreme being, because only those who have condensed a supreme Dharma body can truly be considered supreme.
To achieve complete control over heaven and earth.
Do it when you think of it!
