Ye Yun was able to enter the New Mortal Continent ahead of time because he had broken the prohibitions of the star domain. However, he still could not enter higher-level maps like the Myriad Beast Mountain Range and the Endless Forest Sea.
Even if he could enter, Ye Yun did not want to leave the New Mortal Continent so quickly. The old fellow Yue Xia had specifically said that the New Mortal Continent was a treasure land compared to other maps, a place to accumulate wealth rapidly.
Moreover, his people were still hovering around level forty-something. At their current pace, it would take at least another year, and one year was enough for the New Mortal Continent to slip from his grasp.
Wang Chen's heavenly tribulation was still ongoing. It had now reached the ninth tribulation. The energy of the ninth giant dragon had reached its peak, so immense that Liu Langchen had to retreat a hundred miles.
Roar…
The giant dragon roared in fury, but tens of thousands of sword phantoms, like slicing noodles, scraped off the dragon's flesh and blood bit by bit before it could. The pure energy was rapidly absorbed by Wang Chen.
“His talent should be ranked in the top ten, right?” Liu Langchen looked at Wang Chen, so shocked he didn’t know how to describe it. Thinking that Ye Yun’s talent had already reached the very top, he hadn't expected that his subordinate’s talent could also occupy a spot on the talent rankings!
And to have such talented subordinates, besides Yao Die, only Ye Yun could possibly have them. And he himself, ranked third in talent, was also considered Ye Yun’s subordinate.
If Yue Xia, ranked fourth, were added…
Hiss…
Unimaginable! Among those ranked on the talent leaderboard, three others besides Ye Yun himself had become Ye Yun's subordinates! Da Feng Novel Network.
Even Yao Die did not possess such influence.
Liu Langchen also knew that the most important thing was that Yao Die's tyrannical and lawless behavior had generated aversion, even hostility, towards him among these chosen sons of heaven. Just like himself.
One had to ask, weren't those ranked on the Universe Talent Ranking list the proud sons of the real world? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the sons of a region. Who among them was not arrogant? Who would be willing to be subservient to another?
Less than half a month remained until the fusion of the star domains in the real world. But now Ye Yun was not worried at all, because he already had two Monarch-level experts on his side, along with Hei Yi and Yue Xia and the seven other races rushing over. Furthermore, Ye Yun controlled the entire God Race star domain and the Demon Race star domain! Not to mention that Ye Yun himself possessed the power of the Supreme Realm, capable of suppressing an entire region of the universe.
It could be said that if Ye Yun wished, he could directly commence the prelude to unifying the tenth region of the universe.
Wang Chen's lightning tribulation lasted for a full three days and two nights. Especially the final tribulation, where a giant sword drew him into the world of swords. This was no longer just Wang Chen's personal heavenly tribulation, but a joint tribulation between him and Yue Zhi.
The giant sword tribulation was not like the Nine Dragon Tribulation; there were no grand spectacles. It simply floated quietly in the universe, making people wonder if there was a tenth tribulation at all. If not for Liu Langchen’s visibly trembling expression, Zhou Ningdong and the others would have likely come over.
“What kind of heavenly tribulation is this? How can there be such powerful divine sense fluctuations?” Ye Yun, who had broken through the shackles of the third stage of divine sense to reach the fourth stage, immediately noticed the abnormal fluctuations in the air.
“Lord and Weapon Share Tribulation, and it's even a Sea of Consciousness Tribulation! How could such a heavenly tribulation exist?” Although Liu Langchen was already numb, seeing the giant sword in the sky and Wang Chen's situation, he couldn't help but groan.
“Lord and Weapon Share Tribulation? Sea of Consciousness Tribulation? What does that mean?” Hearing Liu Langchen’s words, Ye Yun’s heart stirred. He flickered and appeared beside him, asking.
It couldn't be helped; as a bumpkin from a star domain whose inheritance had been severed for a million years, he was almost completely ignorant of many aspects of the cultivation system.
“Lord and Weapon Share Tribulation means exactly what it says: the master and their weapon undergo tribulation simultaneously. However, the energy of this tribulation is ten to a hundred times greater than their original heavenly tribulation. As long as they survive this tribulation, the weapon spirit will directly grow from its nascent stage to its adult stage, possessing thinking and judgment abilities no less than a human. If they trigger a Lord and Weapon Share Tribulation with the master, the benefits after the tribulation, including for the master, will be two to five times that of a normal heavenly tribulation.”
“Furthermore, the Lord and Weapon Share Tribulation is divided into tangible and illusory tribulations, commonly known as regular lightning tribulations and illusionary tribulations. Old Wang’s tribulation belongs to the latter. The lightning tribulation descends directly into his Sea of Consciousness, and the weapon spirit is similarly pulled directly into the master’s Sea of Consciousness to undergo the tribulation together. After the tribulation, the weapon becomes the master’s natal artifact, and the master and the weapon can achieve a state of oneness, where intent follows thought. As long as the master is alive, the weapon spirit will always be loyal to the master. Most importantly, the master's consciousness strength will more than double after the tribulation!”
Hearing Ye Yun’s question, Liu Langchen quickly gave a brief explanation.
“Oneness of mind and intent? Intent follows thought? And always loyal to the master? How is this different from marrying a wife?” Ye Yun took out his King’s Sword, looked at Wang Chen in the distance, and had a look of sympathy. Although it looked impressive, in Ye Yun's understanding, a weapon was just a weapon, something to be wielded.
A Lord and Weapon Share Tribulation, even in the preceding three regions of the universe, was a rare sight once in a century. And a Sea of Consciousness Tribulation, such an illusory tribulation, was even rarer, appearing only once in ten thousand years! Yet, Ye Yun spoke of it with such disdain?
Liu Langchen covered his eyes, trying his best not to look at Ye Yun. He was afraid that Ye Yun would see the unspoken words ‘bumpkin’ hidden in his eyes.
The three days and two nights felt like an eternity of torment for the people in the training ground. Unlike cultivators like Liu Langchen who could meditate for days, they could not.
Finally…
A terrifying energy storm erupted from Wang Chen’s body. If not for the protective wall Ye Yun had erected earlier, everyone in the training ground would have been affected by this energy.
A quarter of an hour later, the energy storm gradually subsided, and Wang Chen stood bathed in endless rosy clouds.
The divine sense power of the third stage! As expected, the difficulty of cultivating divine sense was immense. Even though Wang Chen’s divine sense had undergone the baptism of the nine heavenly tribulations and then doubled after the Sea of Consciousness Tribulation, it had only barely reached the third stage, and not even the peak of the third stage!
It must be known that Wang Chen’s divine sense had already reached the peak of the second stage before undergoing tribulation. Now, after the cleansing of the nine tribulations and the Sea of Consciousness Tribulation, it had barely broken through to the third stage.
