Chapter 1325: Kid, new here?

"How does it feel?"

"Too weak! This evil spirit is only at the early first star, not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

"This... Senior, isn't your appetite a bit too big?"

"Nonsense! The Soul-Calming Pearl is a Heavenly Lord spiritual treasure. Even if you caught a few four-star or five-star evil spirits, it wouldn't be enough for me to digest!"

"Alright, then what exactly should I do?"

"At least three to five hundred late first-star evil spirits!"

"... Senior, you're asking for a lot. How long would three to five hundred last?"

"Barely ten years! If you could devour a two-star evil spirit, that would sustain me for a hundred years."

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Do you think I can get you a two-star evil spirit right now? If I actually ran into one, it's hard to say whether you'd devour it or it would devour me!"

"Haha, I was just saying! But if you really could devour a two-star evil spirit, I could help you cultivate your divine soul and raise your soul realm." Wuchen said.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up; Wuchen's words made his heart pound with excitement.

After breaking through to the Divine Path, Ye Yuan's means of cultivating his divine soul had become somewhat insufficient.

The Medicine Soul Divine Canon was only a fragment; it could help Ye Yuan cultivate to the ninth-stage Great Perfection, but it lacked the power to go further.

To go further on the path of alchemy, he needed a systematic divine soul cultivation technique.

In this regard, the Soul-Calming Pearl was clearly the expert!

Thinking of this, Ye Yuan couldn't help but think of his main cultivation technique.

After his rebirth, Ye Yuan had always cultivated the Spirit Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art.

In the Immortal Forest Domain, the Spirit Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art was the top technique, capable of cultivating all the way to the Return to Ruins Divine Realm.

But for Ye Yuan now, this technique clearly could no longer satisfy his ambitions.

"It seems everything has to start from scratch!" Ye Yuan sighed.

Wuchen said, "Immortal Forest's technique was inscribed in the Realm-Calming Stele space. His technique was comprehended from the Realm-Calming Stele, one of the best techniques in the Tongtian Realm! If he hadn't fallen, he might have become a Supreme Heavenly Emperor!"

"Supreme Heavenly Emperor?" Ye Yuan asked in confusion.

"Mm, Supreme Heavenly Emperor is actually the peak Heavenly Emperor, the strongest existence below the Dao Ancestor! Immortal Forest's technique is enough for you to cultivate to Supreme Heavenly Emperor!" Wuchen explained.

Ye Yuan finally understood. According to Wuchen, the technique Immortal Forest had comprehended was indeed a top-tier technique in the Tongtian Realm.

After all, in the Tongtian Realm, it was impossible to cultivate to the Dao Ancestor realm.

Achieving the Supreme Heavenly Emperor realm was already the greatest possibility.

But Ye Yuan fell silent.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, you say... that Heavenly Lord Immortal Forest's technique was comprehended from the Realm-Calming Stele?"

Wuchen sneered, "Hey, your ambition is too big! Now that you're in the Tongtian Realm, you should know the difficulty of cultivation above the Divine Realm, yet you still haven't given up on the Dao Ancestor realm?"

When Ye Yuan asked this, Wuchen immediately knew what Ye Yuan wanted to do.

These words were full of mockery for Ye Yuan, mocking his overestimation of his abilities.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, I know the Dao Ancestor realm is as difficult as reaching the heavens, but the Supreme Heavenly Emperor realm means nothing to me! To save Lingxue, I must cultivate to the Dao Ancestor realm, isn't that right?"

Wuchen snorted coldly, "Compared to cultivating to the Dao Ancestor realm, I think asking a Dao Ancestor for help is more reliable! If you really can cultivate to the Supreme Heavenly Emperor realm, you would be qualified to ask a Dao Ancestor for help."

But Ye Yuan stubbornly said, "That doesn't conflict with cultivating to the Dao Ancestor realm!"

Wuchen was choked and fell silent, at a loss for words.

After a long while, Wuchen said, "Alright, this Realm-Calming Stele was actually obtained by Immortal Forest by chance on Tongtian Mountain. It is extraordinarily miraculous! It's like an endless treasure trove. When Immortal Forest first got it, it was just an ordinary stone. Later, Immortal Forest continuously developed it, and its grade kept rising. By the time he cultivated to the Heavenly Lord realm, it had become a Heavenly Lord spiritual treasure."

Ye Yuan was also astonished; he hadn't expected the Realm-Calming Stele to have such a great origin!

Ye Yuan had already learned about the power of Tongtian Mountain from Wuchen and Kunwu.

The Realm-Calming Stele was originally a stone from Tongtian Mountain!

"So, the Realm-Calming Stele doesn't need to be refined at all; just by continuously developing it, it can be upgraded to a Heavenly Emperor spiritual treasure?" Ye Yuan asked in surprise.

Wuchen said, "In theory, yes!"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, after Senior devours enough evil spirits, I'll enter the Realm-Calming Stele to comprehend my own path!"

Wuchen: "..."

He found that this guy Ye Yuan was simply a stubborn mule!

Once he decided something, no matter how hard you pulled, you couldn't bring him back.

It was like that back in the spatial turbulence, and it was still like that now.

...

"Brothers, do you know where in the Yin Wind Cave there are more late first-star evil spirits?"

Ye Yuan had wandered around the Yin Wind Cave for most of the day and found that most of the evil spirits here were mortal-grade, occasionally encountering early first-star ones.

These evil spirits were useless to Wuchen.

Ye Yuan found that the cave was interconnected in all directions, making it too hard to find late first-star evil spirits, so he had to ask others for help.

Several people turned around, saw Ye Yuan's cultivation, and couldn't help looking at him like he was an idiot.

"Kid, new here, right? With your strength, you'd better just wander around the outer area! This place is already close to the dangerous zone. With your strength, you wouldn't even be enough for an evil spirit to fill the gaps between its teeth!" Chang Liang said.

This group was precisely the 'Yin Wind Seven Heroes' who had been caught in the crossfire earlier on the periphery.

After entering, the seven of them headed straight for the dangerous zone.

They had been hanging around here for years and were extremely familiar with the Yin Wind Cave.

They knew exactly where the powerful evil spirits were and where the heavenly treasures were.

As for the Wang family, although they were strong, they weren't familiar with this place.

Chang Liang hadn't expected to run into Ye Yuan here.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brothers, you must be very familiar with this place, right?"

He saw that these people had clear goals, unlike him running around like a headless fly, and knew they must be regulars here.

Chang Liang frowned and said, "We seven are known as the 'Yin Wind Seven Heroes.' What do you think? Kid, we're going to look for heavenly treasures and don't have time to chat with you. If you don't want to die, just wander around here and see if you're lucky enough to find something left behind."

Ye Yuan didn't take Chang Liang's advice seriously at all.

What mattered was that Chang Liang and his group were familiar with this place.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brothers, since you're familiar with this place, take me to find some late first-star evil spirits. Once we get there, I'll give you five thousand low-grade divine essence stones as a commission, how about that?"
