SFS Chapter 11: 1 Clan, 6 Secret Treasures?
Chapter 11: 1 Clan, 6 Secret Treasures?
Spiritual cultivators cannot use their divine sense to investigate their surroundings like cultivators in the Hidden Realm.
Therefore, even after fusing with the spirit, Chen Ye could clearly feel his blood energy and soul power increase, but he couldn't immediately tell how much they had increased.
But this didn't stump him.
Chen Ye took out the Water-Splitting Thorn from his storage bag, then went to the window, opened it, and used his divine sense to control it to shoot outwards at high speed.
"Whoosh!"
The Water-Splitting Thorn transformed into a dark light, swiftly piercing the night sky and covering several meters in the blink of an eye.
Ten zhang, fifteen zhang, twenty-five zhang...
The water-splitting spike flew nearly thirty-five zhang before Chen Ye sensed that it was about to slip out of control.
He quickly used his divine sense to summon the Water-Dividing Thorn back.
"Phew... a control range of thirty-five zhang? That's almost comparable to the divine sense of a late-stage Spirit Gathering cultivator!!"
Chen Ye took a deep breath.
When he broke through to the third level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, his spiritual sense range had only increased from ten zhang to twelve zhang. However, after refining the demon core of the Spirit Whisker Whale, his spiritual power increased by nearly three times!
It should be known that ordinary cultivators, unless they cultivate spells that strengthen their divine sense or consume rare and precious herbs that can increase their spiritual power, will only have their spiritual power strengthened when they break through a realm.
For example, the range of divine sense in the early stage of spiritual cultivation is generally about ten zhang.
It grew to twenty zhang in the middle period.
The later section is thirty zhang long.
Once one breaks through the Hidden Realm, the range of one's divine sense will directly increase to one hundred feet, and one will be able to use one's divine sense to explore things within this range.
Chen Ye's cultivation level is only at the third level of the Spirit Gathering stage, but his divine sense has already surpassed that of cultivators at the late stage of the Spirit Gathering stage!
If he breaks through to the late stage of Spirit Condensation, wouldn't his divine sense be comparable to that of a cultivator from a secret realm?
"Hiss... Although fusing with powerful demonic beasts to forge their souls is very dangerous, the benefits... are also very real."
Chen Ye could not hide his excitement. He had previously thought that he needed to be cautious when refining the talents of demonic beasts, but now he immediately overturned that idea.
Without courage, how can there be production?
Risk and reward have always coexisted since ancient times; this is an unchanging truth!
Oh, and there's also the secret technique, Soul-Suppressing Sound!
As soon as Chen Ye had a thought, an invisible wave of divine soul energy suddenly spread from the depths of his mind.
The Soul-Suppressing Sound doesn't actually require making any sound; rather, it uses one's powerful soul energy to rapidly bombard the opponent's soul multiple times in a short period of time!
It made him tremble with fear, as if thunderous sounds echoed in his mind, and he stood frozen on the spot.
Previously, when the Spirit Whisker Whale used its innate spell, all the cultivators on the demon-hunting ship were suppressed, and Chen Ye's spiritual power was clearly not strong enough to reach that level.
He carefully assessed the situation and realized that with his current spiritual strength, the Soul-Suppressing Sound he could unleash could only cover a distance of fifteen zhang around him at most.
Basically, it's about half the range of divine consciousness.
In other words, as long as he activates the Soul-Suppressing Sound, everyone within this range will be attacked indiscriminately, and the power of the attack depends solely on the strength of the target's soul.
"This spell is clearly a large-scale soul technique, but if the attack range could be compressed into an area, or even a point, forming a soul cone or soul spike, wouldn't its power be even greater?"
The idea flashed through Chen Ye's mind, and he felt it should be feasible, but only if he was proficient enough in this spell.
His mind sank as he looked at the attribute panel in his mind.
[Remaining lifespan: 175 years]
[Spell: Soul-Soothing Melody - Beginner (1/200)]
"Two hundred proficiency points are needed just for the beginner level?"
Chen Ye gritted his teeth, but no matter what, a secret technique of the soul was enough to be his trump card for survival, and it was worth it even if it cost him many years of lifespan!
"One hundred years, let's treat it as the original soup cooking the original food, and then deduce the result!"
Chen Ye mentally shouted, and the lifespan displayed on the panel began to rapidly decline.
Just as he was painstakingly trying to comprehend the cultivation technique.
The next room.
"Hiss~~ What just happened? Why did I suddenly feel a buzzing sound in my ear?"
Inside the room, the third steward, Li Hongnian, was drinking and chatting with one of his capable rogue cultivators when a sudden clap of thunder rang out beside them. Caught off guard, both of them nearly fell victim to it.
"Who knows? Perhaps his soul was damaged after being attacked by that spirit-whiskered whale?"
Duan Heng, a rogue cultivator, snorted and said that his cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering realm, making him one of the strongest among the rogue cultivator crew members. Otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to drink with Li Hongnian.
"Hmph, don't mention spirit whales to me. If Gong Chengyuan and Gong Lin hadn't insisted on hunting whales, so many people wouldn't have died on board!"
Unexpectedly, Li Hongnian's face darkened immediately when the incident during the day was mentioned, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the two Gong family leaders on the Cangyun.
In fact, Li Hongnian was also a member of the Gong family from a different clan. However, he was good at socializing and got to know many independent cultivators. When the Gong family's fleet went to sea to obtain cultivation resources, he introduced independent cultivators to become crew members, and thus became the manager of the Cangyun.
However, after a failed hunt, the crew of the rogue cultivators suffered heavy casualties. When they returned to the island, he was also required to deal with the families of the deceased rogue cultivators. How could he not be furious?
"Hehe, speaking of this, I must offer you a toast, Brother Li." Duan Heng chuckled, casually raising his wine glass to look at Li Hongnian.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Hongnian frowned, clearly noticing the teasing in Duan Heng's tone.
But then Duan Heng said, slightly drunk.
"Who on the entire Cangyun ship doesn't know? You, Steward Li, have been working like a slave for the Gong family for twenty years, and you still haven't married a member of the Gong family. Tsk tsk... I wonder if these Gong family daughters are made of spirit stones? Are they so hard to marry?"
"you!!"
Anger flashed in Li Hongnian's eyes, but upon further reflection, he realized that although Duan Heng's words were harsh, they were also true.
His original intention was to marry a woman from the Gong family who possessed spiritual roots, so that he could eventually establish his own cultivation family.
However, the Gong family highly values clan girls with cultivation potential and rarely allows them to marry out. They only agreed to give him an ordinary clan girl, so how could Li Hongnian be willing? That's why it's been dragged on until now.
"Brother Li, if you ask me, with your abilities, if you were in another family, let alone a clan girl with spiritual roots, even a direct descendant would have married you long ago!"
Duan Heng changed the subject, seemingly already quite drunk, but his gaze remained fixed on Li Hongnian's eyes.
"Change families?"
Li Hongnian's brow twitched suddenly. If he still couldn't understand Duan Heng's meaning after hearing this, then he would have lived for over forty years in vain!
"I wonder which family Brother Duan is referring to? You should know that the Gong family has two hidden experts, and no ordinary family would dare to provoke them." Li Hongnian paused, his hand under the table lightly resting on the storage bag at his waist.
Duan Heng noticed Li Hongnian's actions, but he didn't care. He changed his previous drunken state and said seriously.
"To tell you the truth, Brother Li, although my given name is Heng, my surname is not Duan, but Zhou!"
Which week?
"The Zhou family of Bizhu Island, the Zhou family with six secret treasures!"
