823 Battle Spatial Zone
The negotiation with the Nangong Clan required opportunity and timing. There was still one year before Big Sister Bell gets married. Jiang Yi had not bothered about the matter after he handed to Qian Wanguan to settle. If there were any updates, Qian Wanguan would naturally report to him. Even if Jiang Yi wanted to do something, there was nothing he could do.
He was in seclusion again, and it was in profound seclusion as he didn’t appear again after entering the Thearch Palace. He would cultivate his essence force, comprehend the sorcery arts, dao pattern fusions, and also nurtured the three pseudo-divine artifacts with the power of stars.
One and a half months later...
There was a change in weather above Gods Bestow City as heaven and earth essence force converged violently towards Situ Courtyard. Immediately after, the Nine Heaven Stars shot down the power of stars—which shocked everyone in the city.
The power of the Nine Heaven Stars was very hard to obtain apart from comprehending dao patterns above the five-star rank or special dao patterns. Every single bestowing of the power of stars would alert the majority of the experts. At this moment, many powerful divine senses swept over; but Situ Courtyard lit up with a rainbow-colored restriction that forcefully isolated all the scouting divine senses.
“Jiang Yi again?”
After Situ Ao received the information, he was silently astonished. They had already confirmed that the previous heaven and earth anomaly wasn’t due to Huangfu Taotian, which meant that it was Jiang Yi. How long was it since the previous time? Jiang Yi had made contact with the laws of heaven and earth again, making Situ Ao and the doyens of the Situ Clan sighing incessantly. They even wanted to dissect Jiang Yi alive to see what was so amazing about his body.
Huangfu Taotian and Situ Yixiao were also sighing non-stop, but Jiang Yi didn’t come out from the Thearch Palace. They waited in the Jiang Castle for a day and left afterward.
“My fifth star sphere has transformed. I am now finally a true Heaven Monarch!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJiang Yi was deeply moved in the Thearch Palace as Heaven Monarchs were simply existences that were a myth to him. There were very few Heaven Monarchs on the Stellarsky Continent, not even Shui Youlan and the others were able to achieve it after such a long time. Even when Jiang Bieli perished, he was just at the Vajra Realm.
He wasn’t 22 years old yet but had reached the Heaven Monarch Realm. This was considered top-class in Stellarsky Continent’s history. Of course, there was still quite a gap when compared to the young masters and ladies from the East Imperial Continent, and he was still a little lacking when compared to Huangfu Taotian, Lei Qiyan, and the others, too. However, he was very satisfied as it was all because of his hard work, and he had cultivated step by step all the way here.
His joy didn’t persist for a long time as he discovered a problem, and it was a big problem! The essence force required for the sixth star sphere was actually ten times more than the fifth star sphere!
In other words... even if he had the cultivation speed which was 1000 times faster, if he wanted the sixth star sphere to transform and for his essence force to reach the level of a peak-stage Heaven Monarch, he would need at least eight to ten years.
Eight to ten years wasn’t considered a long time, but this was with the cultivation speed which was 1000 times faster. What if Jiang Yi was to leave Gods Bestow Island in the future? He might need 80 years to 100 years.
This was just for the sixth star sphere. What about the seventh, eighth, and ninth star spheres?
Jiang Yi originally thought naively that he would be able to cultivate smoothly like this, and after his ninth star sphere transformed, his essence force would reach the peak stage of the Half God. He would then be able to use his powerful essence force and release the divine shield, he wouldn’t even die if he simply stood and allowed others to attack him.
After cultivating for one day...!
Jiang Yi confirmed that he would need at least eight years to transform the sixth star sphere. He stopped his cultivation helplessly and teleported out of the Thearch Palace.
After Huangfu Taotian waited for one day and saw that Jiang Yi wasn’t coming out, it was unknown where he and Situ Yixiao had gone to. Only Feng Luan and Qing Yu stayed around. Jiang Yi then asked for a guard to send a message to Qian Wanguan to ask about the situation.
Qian Wanguan was very busy, and he hadn’t been on Gods Bestow Island recently. He had gone to Black Dragon Archipelago and would only return one month later. Jiang Yi had no choice but to look for Feng Luan and asked about the method to form the divine shield. He then entered the Thearch Palace to study on the divine shield.
The divine shield was a great thing!
As long as the divine shield didn’t break, the Heaven Monarchs were near immortal existences. After the activation of the divine shield, no matter the number of Vajra Realm martial artists, they would all be throwing their lives away. The formation of the divine shield was very simple as one simply had to follow a special trajectory to and circulate the essence force to do it. In fact, Vajra Realm martial artists could also form the divine shields, but the essence force of the Vajra Realm was far inferior to the Heaven Monarch Realm. The divine shields formed during the Vajra Realm could be easily destroyed. Some might even break by itself. Hence, only Heaven Monarchs would form divine shields.
When Jiang Yi’s fourth star sphere transformed, his essence force had already reached the peak stage of Vajra Realm. It might look to be only one step away, but Jiang Yi had to transform another star sphere before his essence force could reach the Heaven Monarch Realm.
After studying it for one day, Jiang Yi’s body flashed with white light as an oval-shaped shield appeared. It was shining, just like any other Heaven Monarch’s divine shield.
Jiang Yi took a few glances at the divine shield and felt that it was so weak. He already had the Thunder Fire Divine Shield, making this divine shield useless. If his Thunder Fire Divine Shield couldn’t withstand the attacks, he would also have to die as his divine shield would be shattered easily.
After successfully producing the divine shield, Jiang Yi’s heart was concerned about Big Sister Bell’s matter. Adding on to the fact that his essence force cultivation was too slow and that he wasn’t making any progress in the dao pattern fusion, he decided to teleport out of the Thearch Palace and prepared to have a rest.
Jiang Yi was surprised to find Situ Yixiao and Huangfu Taotian inside Jiang Castle and was currently drinking tea and basking in the sun at the inner courtyard. He quickly headed over to the inner courtyard. When Situ Yixiao saw Jiang Yi coming over, he stood up and smiled. “Big Brother Huangfu, I didn’t guess wrongly, right? With Jiang Yi’s talent, he wouldn’t even need two days to comprehend the divine shield.”
“This kid is just a freak!”
Huangfu Taotian laughed bitterly while Jiang Yi sat on the stone chair and rolled his eyes. “What is my level of talent? I have been trying to fuse a dao pattern for more than a year and still yet to succeed. It seems like I will not be able to do it for my entire life.”
“Dao pattern fusion?”
Situ Yixiao muttered for a moment and suddenly spoke, “Come, Jiang Yi. Let me bring you to our clan’s mystic realm. It will be up to your luck to see if you can have any comprehension.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mystic realm. This isn’t good, right...” Jiang Yi hesitated. After all, it was Situ Clan’s inheritance mystic realm. He had already owed the Situ Clan a favor, and if Situ Yixiao was to break the clan rules for him, he would feel apologetic about it.
Situ Yixiao shook his hand and said, “It is nothing. In fact, all clans have such type of mystic realm. Even the Huangfu Clan has one, and it isn’t considered to be valuable. Furthermore, I can only bring you to the first floor. The elder hall will have to give the approval for you to enter the second floor.”
“Battle spatial zone?” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Nov????lFire(.)nᴇt
Huangfu Taotian asked with an inquiring tone, and when he saw Situ Yixiao nodding, he spoke in a convincing tone, “Jiang Yi, many clans have such types of the mystic realm, too. It is for one to observe the battles of experts inside which are all recorded by seal stones. It truly isn’t especially valuable, and it should be good for you to take a look.”
“Battles between experts?”
Jiang Yi’s spirit got reinvigorated. Previously, on Gods Bestow Sea, he was only able to fuse the six different dao patterns because he observed the battle between Qing Long and Huangfu Taotian. If he could observe more battles between experts, he might be stirred up again which would allow him to complete the fusion?
“Does Big Brother Huangfu wants to go and observe together?”
When Situ Yixiao saw Jiang Yi agreeing, he turned to asked Huangfu Taotian, “Our battle spatial zone should be different from the Huangfu Clan. You might just be able to comprehend something if you go take a look.”
“That’s true!”
Huangfu Taotian didn’t try to reject the goodwill as he had also cultivated to a bottleneck. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone out for a stroll with Situ Yixiao a few days ago; neither would he be basking in the sun today. The trio stood up and walked out of Jiang Castle and headed straight for a castle in the inner courtyard.
Battle Castle!
Fifteen minutes later, the trio arrived at an average-sized castle while Situ Yixiao led them both inside. He then spoke to the guardian doyen of the first floor, “Uncle Di, open up the restriction and teleport inside the battle spatial zone.”
