Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 642 - 636: Beginning Cultivation

Spirit Domain Lake.

Two colossal peaks met, and due to their collision, formed a vast lake—clear yet seemingly bottomless, its depths unfathomable.

This was the Spirit Domain Lake, a treasured cultivation site within the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, ever favored by its disciples.

Above the lake hovered a thick Spirit Mist, impervious even to the fiercest gusts, remaining undispersed.

A scattering of pavilions and towers adorned the lake’s surface, bustling with silhouetted figures and disciples engaged in secret training. The area chosen by Ye Xuan, however, was considerably quieter than the rest, offering an undisturbed haven for cultivation.

Ye Xuan was quite pleased with the spot. As he descended, ripples danced across the water beneath his feet—a testament to the intense concentration of Spiritual Energy that made his body so much heavier.

"Hey, kid, not a bad place. During your cultivation, don’t forget to share a bit of energy with me." Right as Ye Xuan was preparing to sit down and cultivate, the voice of the Human Emperor’s Scepter suddenly reached him.

"Alright, I know."

Ye Xuan settled down; he understood that the Human Emperor’s Scepter needed vast amounts of Spiritual Energy for its recovery, which could only be amassed gradually.

"Let’s begin."

Gazing at the placid surface, Ye Xuan’s mind was anything but calm. His dark eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and with a swift move and a splash, he plunged into the transparent depths, ripples expanding outward as he dove like a fish toward the abyss.

The icy lake water whooshed past Ye Xuan, who promptly shot towards the depths while strong pressures from all sides rapidly surged to greet his deeper incursion.

Ye Xuan didn’t invoke any Spiritual Power for protection; he relied solely on his flesh to withstand the omnipresent, overpowering water pressure.

His black eyes fixed on the deep, his body constantly adapting to the intensifying pressure until, after several minutes, he finally halted.

Here, the Spiritual Energy was sufficiently dense.

Ye Xuan looked up, seeing only a small patch of light above. By now, he must have dived hundreds of meters into the lake’s depths.

The water here was extraordinary, rich with Spiritual Power, making the pressure especially formidable, enough to challenge even Ye Xuan’s current strength.

To cultivate at this depth was just about right.

With this thought, Ye Xuan nodded slightly, then crossed his legs to sit amidst the water, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

Exhaling a breath, Ye Xuan shut his eyes, his mind sinking into the Dantian.

Inside his body, strands of True Yuan began to stir, slowly releasing a swallowing force, creating a vortex at the lake’s bottom that began to absorb the Spiritual Energy there.

The nature’s spiritual energy was indeed much denser here than on the outside, and Ye Xuan’s absorption rate was significantly faster here as well.

"That’s too slow, kid. Don’t you have any treasures to speed up the absorption of Spiritual Energy?"

Not even minutes into his cultivation, the Human Emperor’s Scepter started complaining.

"Slow? It’s already a lot faster than normal, okay?" Ye Xuan was rather annoyed to be interrupted; due to his practice of the Hidden Dragon Skill, he was already absorbing Spiritual Energy much faster than ordinary people.

"It’s still too slow."

The Human Emperor’s Scepter shook his head persistently, "Don’t you know the purpose of the Human Emperor’s Scepter?"

"In the midst of the Human Emperor’s Scepter, there are two Holy Level Spirit Arrays. Beyond the Nanming Leaving Fire Array from the previous occasion, the other one is called the Ancient Devouring Spirit Array. The function of the Ancient Devouring Spirit Array is to accelerate the absorption of nature’s spiritual energy."

"Is it that heaven-defying?"

Ye Xuan was startled and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Of course, each of the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts possesses its own heaven-defying abilities," the Human Emperor’s Scepter said with a hint of pride. "Do you know that the Human Emperor is the youngest among the Three Emperors? His cultivation speed is also the fastest among the three. The Human Emperor’s Scepter played no small part in that."

"What should I do?"

Ye Xuan’s expression became slightly solemn. Not using available resources would be foolish. He believed the other wasn’t lying because the Human Emperor’s Scepter had previously shown a bizarre devouring ability, which must be related to the entire Ancient Devouring Spirit Array.

"Just focus on channeling your True Yuan, and I will guide you to activate the Soul-devouring Array," the voice of the Human Emperor’s Scepter came again.

"Okay."

Ye Xuan raised his palms, concentrating his True Yuan. As the True Yuan flowed continuously into the palms of his hand, within the deep recesses of the Human Emperor’s Scepter, it seemed as if a hidden power was being awakened.

"Is this the Soul-devouring Array?"

Shortly after, Ye Xuan felt the presence of the Soul-devouring Array. Under the transport of True Yuan, a rather aggressive devouring fluctuation rapidly expanded and diffused.

Whoosh whoosh...

Suddenly, the entire bottom of the lake was tumultuous, wave after wave of nature’s spiritual energy drawn forth, converging around Ye Xuan and absorbed by the Human Emperor’s Scepter.

"It really is a bottomless pit."

Ye Xuan had no idea how much power the Human Emperor’s Scepter had consumed over the years, but the nature’s spiritual energy it was now inhaling was indeed astonishing.

With a low shout from Ye Xuan, the Human Emperor’s Scepter erupted with intense light, and torrents of vigorous energy burst forth, entering Ye Xuan’s body, piercing through the Dantian, and circulating rapidly through the meridians.

"It really is much faster."

Feeling the exceptionally turbulent energy rushing into his body, Ye Xuan was also taken aback. The Soul-devouring Array indeed had a noticeable effect. This way, his Cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort.

An hour passed.

Swoosh splash...

The lake waters frantically converged towards the area where Ye Xuan was, forming a massive vortex with Ye Xuan seated at its center, drawing out all the Spiritual Power within the waters and absorbing it into his body.

Ye Xuan’s actions were of great disturbance, nearly stirring up half the lake. The disturbance agitated the Disciples was practicing in other areas of the lake.

Sensing the commotion in the water, the Disciples were startled and opened their eyes. Their figures darted, breaking through the water, heading in that direction, and soon they saw Ye Xuan seated in the middle of the vortex.

"Who is this guy? How can he stir up such a big commotion!"

"He only seems to have the strength of a Fifth Grade Martial Venerate, how could he have such a capacity?"

"This fellow is not simple."

"..."

Their eyes were filled with astonishment and whispers, but none dared to disturb Ye Xuan’s Cultivation. They could all feel his might—although he appeared to be a Fifth Grade Martial Venerable, the fluctuations emanating from his body were truly heart-pounding.
