King of Creation-Chapter 686 - 677: Abnormal Spiritual Power

Bloodline transformation signifies that the bloodline within a martial artist’s body has been nurtured and grown strong enough to be used for Vein Forging.

At this moment, the four streams of Blood Light shooting forth from Ye Zhen’s back indicate that his bloodline has undergone this transformation. What is unique, however, is that among them, two of the streams are as straight as wolf smoke, shooting straight into the sky, more than ten times larger than the other two, and they faintly emit both gold and black radiance.

This signifies that those two bloodlines have already undergone Vein Forging, but it doesn’t mean that Ye Zhen’s Cultivation has broken through to the Vein Forging Realm.

It was only after Ye Zhen’s Cultivation reached the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm and he communicated with heaven and earth that he would be able to break through to the Vein Forging Realm.

Of course, this applied only to Ye Zhen.

For an average martial artist to break through to the Vein Forging Realm, the first step is to forge veins. After successfully forging veins and then communicating with heaven and earth, they would officially break through.

However, in Ye Zhen’s case, he simply needed to communicate with heaven and earth to officially advance to the Vein Forging Realm.

The communication with heaven and earth here doesn’t literally mean to communicate with the heavens and the earth, but rather refers to the Soul Sea and the Dantian.

The Soul Sea is heaven, the Dantian is earth, and the successfully forged bloodlines are the channels that connect heaven and earth.

Only after the communication of heaven and earth is completed does one truly break through to the Vein Forging Realm. This is also why the Divine Power Martial Skills of the Vein Forging Realm can be launched instantaneously.

The activation of powerful martial techniques by martial artists cannot do without the stimulation of Divine Soul Power and the cooperation of the Spiritual Power in the Dantian. Normally, there is a process for stimulating the Spiritual Power in the Dantian with Divine Soul Power.

Although it is said to be as soon as the thought occurs, so does the power; there is still an instant of time. After communicating the ’heaven and earth’ through Vein Forging, things are different. With the Innate Bloodline as the channel, Divine Soul Power and Spiritual Power are always ready to be unleashed, which is why they can be launched instantly.

With a thought from his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen began to activate the First Sword Vein, following the method of communicating heaven and earth recorded in the Shattered Jade Scripture.

Forehead, the First Sword Vein’s Blood Qi, which rose like wolf smoke into the sky, suddenly drew back, and the Origin Sword Light within the First Sword Vein suddenly emerged and then fiercely retracted into Ye Zhen’s body.

It was invisible from the outside, but in Ye Zhen’s inner vision, the golden radiance of the First Sword Vein was still shooting straight up like a pillar.

Guided by the Divine Sense, the First Sword Vein began to extend and move, stretching toward the Dantian.

Boom, boom, boom!

As the First Sword Vein moved, a thunderous roar emanated from within Ye Zhen’s body, and his five internal organs and six hollow organs felt an inexplicable sense of compression.

Pfft!

As the First Sword Vein suddenly pierced into the Dantian, countless fine golden radiance branched out from the base of the First Sword Vein, spreading within the Dantian like the root system of a great tree.

The first step of rooting down, success!

As the First Sword Vein rooted into the Dantian, Ye Zhen astonishingly discovered that with barely a thought, the Spiritual Power within the Dantian rushed into the First Sword Vein like floodwaters through an open gate.

With another thought, the Spiritual Power swiftly swept back, causing Ye Zhen’s Dantian a bit of aching pain.

This response was too quick, almost instantaneous.

As the thought occurred, the Spiritual Power could reach the designated position.

This was just by rooting the First Sword Vein into the Dantian.

Motivated by Divine Sense, Ye Zhen gradually compressed the height of the First Sword Vein, guiding its top end towards the Soul Sea.

Almost the moment the First Sword Vein neared the Soul Sea, the Golden Sky Pillar that suppressed it from above suddenly trembled, and its golden light flared bright.

As though attracted, alongside the blaze of the Golden Sky Column within the Soul Sea, the top end of the First Sword Vein stretched directly into the Soul Sea like a towering tree, instantly merging with the Golden Sky Pillar.

A hard-to-describe heaviness instantly spread from the Golden Sky Pillar, which had just connected with the First Sword Vein. Under the suppression of this Golden Sky Pillar in such a state, the Soul Sea became as calm as a mirror, without emitting even the slightest ripple.

"Is it done?"

Ye Zhen felt an unreal sensation, noting that the communication of heaven and earth was much easier than he had imagined, and an indescribable intuition suddenly emerged in his mind.

"Upon reflection, I have now truly acquired the auxiliary Divine Skill of Sword Heart Enlightenment."

In his mind, he felt an unprecedented clarity, with all things around him becoming vividly distinct in his eyes, as if nothing fake could escape his gaze.

Of course, that feeling was a bit exaggerated.

However, after the successful communication of heaven and earth, with the heaviness radiating from the Golden Sky Pillar, Ye Zhen felt that the auxiliary role of Sword Heart Enlightenment had truly come into its full potential, and the suppressive power of the Golden Sky Pillar had grown more than just twofold.

Ye Zhen estimated that if he were to face another sneak attack from White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu with the Soul Capturing Jade Skull, he would not be as embarrassed as before.

The Golden Sky Pillar could easily suppress the Soul Sea, suppress Ye Zhen’s Innate Divine Soul, and definitely would not leave him as defenseless as before.

The next moment, just as a thought from Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense began to move, a golden Sword Gang more than a hundred meters long shot out from behind his head. With a movement of his thought, the golden Sword Gang moved at will, slashing wherever he directed it, even able to execute Sword Techniques again.

Whiz!

A golden Sword Gang disappeared in the void in an instant, and almost simultaneously, another golden Sword Gang emerged from in front of Ye Zhen, like a straight thunderclap, stabbing toward the front.

"In less than half a breath’s time, I can unleash two Heart Sword Sword Gangs!" After a brief attempt, Ye Zhen was startled.

Previously, Ye Zhen could only unleash at most two Heart Swords within a single breath, but now, he could unleash at least five Heart Sword Sword Gangs within a single breath.

The huge benefits of breaking through to the Vein Forging Realm manifested at this moment.

Ye Zhen estimated that if he were to face Shang Lingqi again, without using the geomagnetic field for assistance and relying solely on Heart Sword, he would be able to handle Shang Lingqi.

Moreover, Ye Zhen discovered that as his Cultivation grew, the Sword Gang of his Heart Sword also increased by about ten percent or so, in other words, as Ye Zhen’s Cultivation increased, the power of the Heart Sword would greatly increase as well.

Generally, as long as it is a Heavenly Level Divine Power Martial Skill, its power will increase with the increase of Cultivation, but there are still certain differences among them.

The power increase of a Heavenly Level Lower Grade Divine Power Martial Skill is very ordinary, and when a Martial Artist’s Cultivation reaches the peak of the Threefold Pulse Realm, the power will basically not increase with the further increase of Cultivation, even if there is any increase, it is the Martial Artist’s understanding in applying the skill.

It is different with a Heavenly Level Middle Grade Martial Skill, the increase in power can continue until the peak of the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, and the degree of increase is quite substantial.

The power of a Heavenly Level High Grade Martial Skill can continue to increase until the peak of the Ninth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, and the power increases significantly with each advancement in Cultivation.

Based on the rate of increase in power of Sword Heart Enlightenment, Ye Zhen estimated that Sword Heart Enlightenment is very likely a Divine Power Martial Skill of Heavenly Level Middle Grade.

And often, two Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Martial Skills aren’t necessarily enough to exchange for one auxiliary Heavenly Level Middle Grade Divine Power Martial Skill.

Of course, for more than 99% of Martial Artists, it’s impossible for their Cultivation to reach the Ninth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, which is related to the amount of Innate Bloodline.

Even for Ye Zhen, under the current circumstances, the limit of his Cultivation is only at the Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm.

Once Ye Zhen’s Cultivation reaches the Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, it must come to a complete halt, whereas those Martial Artists with a high Bloodline Talent can continue to progress.

The restriction of Bloodline Talent on a Martial Artist, at the Vein Forging Realm, almost reaches its peak.

"It seems that I must find a way to increase my Innate Bloodline; I wonder if there are any methods other than the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill from Stars Tower? Otherwise..."

The thought of reaching the limit of his Cultivation in a few years, unable to advance, while his opponents could continue to improve, was enough to send chills through Ye Zhen!

With a thought of his Divine Sense, the densely rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the Immortal Realm Spiritual Veins surged into Ye Zhen’s body like a flood.

This time, the difference between the Bloodline that had succeeded in Vein Forging and the one that had not was extremely huge.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surrounding the First Sword Vein almost collapsed into Ye Zhen’s body, forming a huge long strip of Spiritual Power Whirlpool in the void.

After the First Sword Vein communicated with heaven and earth, its ability to absorb and refine Spiritual Power also skyrocketed several times, which made the rate of Ye Zhen’s Cultivation increase surge again.

After a careful sensation, Ye Zhen’s expression became somewhat dull.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi absorbed by the First Sword Vein was equivalent to the Spiritual Energy absorbed by three, or even four, ordinary Innate Bloodlines.

This increase was significant.

But what was bizarre was that Ye Zhen found that after his Cultivation broke through to the Vein Forging Realm, his Dantian became like a bottomless pit. Even if he absorbed and refined Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi madly, the increase of Spiritual Power in his Dantian was almost negligible.

After careful observation, Ye Zhen finally realized the intricacies involved.

After the First Sword Vein communicated with heaven and earth, it also became part of the Dantian and could store a massive amount of Spiritual Power like the Dantian.

This is the reason why the Spiritual Power of Vein Forging Realm powerhouses is incredibly potent.

Of course, every Martial Artist’s Divine Power Martial Vein varies in strength and size, so the amount of Spiritual Power each can hold is also different; those with stronger Divine Power Martial Veins can hold more Spiritual Power, those with weaker ones hold relatively less.

It should be said that Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein is very strong among the Divine Power Martial Veins of Martial Artists. Because it was nourished by the power of Black Dragon Fortune in the Black Dragon Underground Palace, each of Ye Zhen’s Innate Bloodlines was twice or more the size of those of an average Martial Artist.

This gave many people the illusion that Ye Zhen was a Martial Artist with Eight Vein Innate Bloodlines, as the aura emitted by Ye Zhen’s four Innate Bloodlines was even more powerful than that of a Martial Artist with the Eight Vein Heavenly Vessel.

Therefore, the amount of Spiritual Power that Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein can hold is more than twice that of the Spiritual Power held by many Martial Artists’ Divine Power Martial Veins, which to some extent makes up for Ye Zhen’s deficiency in Spiritual Power due to low levels of Cultivation.

But after nearly two hours of Cultivation, Ye Zhen was astonished to find that although the amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi he absorbed was massive, the amount of Spiritual Power that increased in his body, whether in the Dantian or within the First Sword Vein, was not even half of the absorbed Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

That shouldn’t be the case!

Even if the First Sword Vein could hold Spiritual Power now, that still shouldn’t be the case.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of this Immortal Realm Spiritual Vein is so pure, the conversion rate of Spiritual Power should exceed ninety percent.

What exactly is going on?

With doubts, Ye Zhen activated his Divine Sense and began to thoroughly search within his body.

It didn’t take many breaths for him to have a sudden revelation! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
