Supreme Profound Sect, Inner Sect.
After reporting to the Inner Sect Affairs Office and receiving his Inner Disciple robes and identity token, Ye Changtian headed to the residence assigned to him.
It was an independent courtyard covering roughly 200 to 300 square meters.
Ye Changtian looked around the courtyard and was clearly quite satisfied with the conditions.
Inner Disciples of the Supreme Profound Sect could not only cultivate on the main peak, where the spiritual energy was most concentrated, but also received an independent courtyard like this as their personal cultivation residence.
Compared to the treatment of Servant Disciples, the difference was simply like heaven and earth.
“Inner Disciples receive 1,000 spirit stones every month, and newly promoted Inner Disciples can also choose one spell technique for free. Should I go collect my benefits first?”
Ye Changtian rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Although he had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had never cultivated any spell techniques.
Relying solely on his cultivation, he would have no problem crushing rookies in the Qi Refining Realm. However, if he encountered another Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, things would probably become much more difficult.
With that thought in mind, Ye Changtian did not hesitate.
He first collected his monthly cultivation resources of 1,000 spirit stones, then headed to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a spell technique.
In the Great Primodial World, spell techniques and divine abilities corresponded to cultivation realms. There were Foundation Establishment spell techniques, Golden Core spell techniques, Nascent Soul divine abilities, and so on.
The spell techniques of each realm were further divided into Low-grade, Mid-grade, High-grade, and Supreme-grade.
Naturally, the higher the grade, the greater the power.
Newly promoted Inner Disciples of the Supreme Profound Sect could freely choose one Foundation Establishment spell technique from the Scripture Pavilion.
In the end, Ye Changtian selected a Supreme-grade Foundation Establishment spell technique.
Azure Flame Sword Art!
The main reason Ye Changtian chose the Azure Flame Sword Art was because of its description.
The Azure Flame Sword Art was actually a simplified version of a Golden Core spell technique!
Perhaps he could use the power of the Yin-Yang Creation Realm to restore this Golden Core spell technique to its original form!
The result was exactly as Ye Changtian had expected.
After he placed the copy of the Azure Flame Sword Art made by the Scripture Pavilion Elder into the Yin-Yang Creation Realm, the sword art underwent a tremendous transformation under the influence of Yin-Yang Power.
Eventually, an entirely new spell technique appeared within the Yin-Yang Creation Realm.
Ye Changtian hurriedly examined its information.
Void-Burning Sword Art!
Supreme-grade Golden Core spell technique!
It condensed one’s cultivation into a Void-Burning Sword Qi capable of annihilating everything in its path. When cultivated to the pinnacle, a single sword strike could burn a 1,000-meter stretch of space into nothingness!
“Hiss…”
Ye Changtian could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
What terrifying power!
However, although a Golden Core spell technique was a hundred times more powerful than a Foundation Establishment spell technique, it was also countless times more difficult to cultivate.
With his aptitude, even cultivating a Foundation Establishment spell technique would not be easy.
Mastering the Void-Burning Sword Art would definitely be no simple task.
Shaking his head, Ye Changtian focused his consciousness on the Void-Burning Sword Art and carefully studied its contents.
Yet in the very next instant, Ye Changtian suddenly felt as though he had entered a mysterious space, where he began repeatedly practicing the Void-Burning Sword Art.
Before long, his mastery of the Void-Burning Sword Art grew increasingly proficient.
He continued practicing tirelessly.
He had no idea how much time had passed.
Suddenly, a three-meter-long stream of Void-Burning Sword Qi erupted forth and tore a pitch-black rift through the space before Ye Changtian.
At the same moment, Ye Changtian awakened from that mysterious state.
What shocked him most was that the Void-Burning Sword Art had become deeply engraved in his mind, as though he had genuinely practiced it thousands upon thousands of times!
Ye Changtian stared in disbelief.
The moment he had used his consciousness to examine the Void-Burning Sword Art, he had inexplicably entered a state where he continuously practiced the technique.
By the time he awakened, he had actually mastered it!
‘What… what exactly happened?’
He remembered that when the Azure Flame Sword Art had been restored into the Void-Burning Sword Art, roughly two-thirds of the Yin-Yang Power within the Yin-Yang Creation Realm had been consumed.
Now, the remaining one-third was gone as well.
‘Could it be that when I examine a spell technique with my consciousness inside the Yin-Yang Creation Realm, I can directly consume Yin-Yang Power to practice it and instantly master the technique?’
Ye Changtian immediately became incredibly excited.
As expected of the heaven-defying Yin-Yang Creation Realm, which possessed the power to seize the very fortune of heaven and earth.
It was fucking incredible!
With this ability, he would never have to worry about the difficulty of cultivating spell techniques again!
“The Yin-Yang Creation Realm may be heaven-defying, but its only flaw is that it devours spirit stones like a bottomless pit. The 10,000 spirit stones I got from Huo Feng’er are already gone again.”
Ye Changtian smiled bitterly.
“Making money is the only way forward.”
Ye Changtian muttered to himself. Just as he was about to leave the Scripture Pavilion, an incredulous voice suddenly reached his ears.
“Ye Changtian, you… why are you here?”
Ye Changtian raised his eyes and immediately saw a familiar figure.
His former fiancée, Liu Yanran.
“Liu Yanran, what a coincidence.”
The corners of Ye Changtian’s lips curved into a faint smile as he said, “I was just promoted to an Inner Disciple, so I came to the Scripture Pavilion to collect a spell technique. Is there a problem?”
“Promoted to an Inner Disciple? You?”
Liu Yanran looked as though she had just heard the funniest joke in the world, her face filled with ridicule.
She knew better than anyone exactly what kind of person Ye Changtian was.
A useless cultivator with a Pseudo-Spiritual Root.
He had cultivated on Servant Peak for three years, yet he had not even broken through to the 1st stage Qi Refining Realm.
As for entering the Inner Sect, unless someone was an exceptionally gifted genius, they generally needed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm before becoming qualified!
How could a useless cultivator like Ye Changtian possibly qualify to enter the Inner Sect?
“Believe it or not. I don’t care.”
Ye Changtian curled his lips. He had no intention of wasting his time on Liu Yanran and turned to leave.
“Ye Changtian, come with me!”
Seeing this, Liu Yanran grabbed Ye Changtian by the arm and pulled him into a deserted corner.
Ye Changtian immediately shook off her hand and said irritably, “Liu Yanran, what are you trying to do?”
“Tell me. What exactly will it take for you to give me the Recording Stone?”
Liu Yanran did not waste any words and coldly continued, “As long as you give me the Recording Stone, I’ll agree to any request you make.”
No matter what, she had to retrieve the Recording Stone from Ye Changtian.
She had no intention of remaining under Ye Changtian’s control for the rest of her life!
“Really? Any request?”
Ye Changtian’s gaze swept over Liu Yanran. He looked at her with an amused smile and raised his hands to indicate the number ten.
“Ten times is too much. Once at most!”
Liu Yanran assumed Ye Changtian wanted to sleep with her. Gritting her teeth, she reluctantly agreed.
After all, she and Ye Changtian had already done it many times before, and the experience had not been bad. As long as she could retrieve the Recording Stone, doing it once more was not a big deal.
Ye Changtian was utterly dumbfounded.
‘What the fuck is wrong with this woman’s thought process?’
‘Do I look that desperate?’
‘I want spirit stones!’
‘What fucking use would doing it with you eight or ten times be?’
“What do you mean ten times or once? You really have quite an imagination.”
Ye Changtian’s face darkened as he said, “I want spirit stones. 100,000 spirit stones!”
