Chapter 50: Spiritual Energy Level 6, Divine Sense 9 Zhang!
Time flies, and before we know it, a year has passed quietly.
Inside the cave, Chen Ye sat cross-legged, his body surging with energy and spiritual power.
After accumulating to a certain level, Chen Ye quickly circulated his cultivation technique. A small vortex of spiritual energy seemed to condense above his head, swallowing all the surrounding spiritual energy into his body like a whale swallowing it up!
boom!!
The surging spiritual energy, like a floodgate opened, rushed wildly through the meridians, impacting the dantian.
Chen Ye exerted all his strength to activate the incantation, and his Qi Sea grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and the spiritual energy he emitted suddenly rose to a new level. The chaotic airflow swept wildly through the small secret room.
After a long while, as Chen Ye slowly finished his practice, the secret room gradually returned to calm.
"Sixth level of Spiritual Energy..."
Chen Ye opened his eyes, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body, and sighed slightly.
I never imagined that my one seclusion would last for a whole year!
Initially, Chen Ye planned to refine the second-tier demon core and then cultivate for two or three months to consolidate his cultivation.
However, cultivation seems to be addictive, especially when one can check their cultivation progress at any time.
Besides, let alone a Spirit Cultivator like him who has been in seclusion for a year, those secret cultivators and Core Formation experts, which of them doesn't spend several or even ten years in the blink of an eye during their cultivation?
In comparison, his seclusion time is nothing.
After breaking through to the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, Chen Ye not only gained a significant increase in his pure magical power, but his spiritual sense range also finally surged to the ninety-zhang mark, just as he had hoped!
It should be noted that even a cultivator at the early stage of the Secret Realm can only reach a little over a hundred feet when using their full divine sense, while Chen Ye's cultivation is only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, yet he is already close to that range!
"Unfortunately, it's not yet possible to project one's divine sense outwards like the Secret Treasury, directly probing the surrounding situation."
Chen Ye shook his head, then his thoughts turned serious as he looked into his sea of consciousness.
[Subject: Chen Ye]
[Remaining lifespan: 273]
[Realm: Spiritual Nourishment Level 6 (1/600)]
【Cultivation Technique: Tidal Spirit Guiding Technique: Great Success 195/1600】
【法术：炎煞诀精通：1/400，镇魂术小成：68/800，灵灭指小成：31/400，金光术精通5/100，幻雾术小成42/200】
【技能：敛息精通：13/50，御水精通：21/50，辨灵精通：17/50】
After the breakthrough, in addition to a significant increase in spiritual power and divine sense, Chen Ye's various spells and skills also improved considerably.
Among them, the Soul Suppression Technique, Spirit Annihilation Finger, and Illusionary Mist Technique are frequently used, and even without consuming lifespan for daily practice, their proficiency will gradually increase, and they have now all reached the minor completion stage.
The Flame Fiend Technique was a spell that Chen Ye comprehended after refining the demon core of the Crimson Flame Python.
This spell didn't feel like an offensive spell to Chen Ye; it was more like a support spell that could amplify damage!
Once unleashed, a portion of Chen Ye's spiritual power will directly transform into Fiery Fiery Aura. This Fiery Fiery Aura is extremely violent, highly destructive, and also carries a special "Fiery Poison!"
Chen Ye recalled the demonic energy spewed out by the Crimson Flame Python, which even made the air hiss as it corroded. It seemed that this kind of demonic poison was a kind of innate ability of the Crimson Flame Python.
However, after Chen Ye refined the demon core, it became a spell that he could cultivate.
Chen Ye regained his composure, drew his Crimson Feather Sword, and lightly slashed at the rock wall in front of him.
"Tch~~"
The smooth rock wall was instantly cut open by the sword energy, but the damage did not end there.
In addition to the burning effect inherent in the Crimson Feather Sword, which melted some of the rock, a layer of black and red malevolent energy rapidly spread along the cracks to the rock wall.
Sizzle sizzle!
In less than a breath, the entire rock wall was enveloped by this malevolent poison, emitting a piercing corrosive sound.
Once the poison dissipated, Chen Ye stepped forward and squeezed the wall with his hand. The originally hard wall crumbled into pieces as easily as tofu.
"Hiss... This poison is quite potent."
Chen Ye was slightly surprised to see this, but powerful spells also consume a lot of spiritual energy.
He carefully sensed it and realized that the sword strike just now, imbued with fiery energy, had consumed at least half of his spiritual power.
In other words, if he were at his peak, Chen Ye could unleash a maximum of twenty consecutive attacks imbued with fiery energy.
This is not an insignificant number of times, and the power of the Flame Fiend is entirely within Chen Ye's control. If it is only used in small quantities, it will not have much impact on his own spiritual power.
"boom!"
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar. Chen Ye frowned and went outside the cave, looking into the distance through the illusion array.
Over the past year, thanks to the cover provided by this formation, apart from some small mountain animals that accidentally wandered into the cave, no one has disturbed Chen Ye's secluded cultivation.
But just a month ago, Chen Ye suddenly discovered that a group of mortals had come to the island. At first, there were only two or three hundred people. They were clearing land, cutting down trees, and building houses.
At that time, Chen Ye was at a critical juncture in his breakthrough, so he ignored them, thinking they were just ordinary people who posed no threat to him.
To everyone's surprise, over the course of a month, the number of ordinary people landing on the island has increased to three or four thousand, and Chen Ye has even spotted cultivators among them!
The terrain here is low-lying and visibility is obstructed.
Chen Ye channeled his spiritual energy into his legs, then leaped into the air, landing on the top of the hundred-zhang cliff after a few bounds on the nearly vertical rock face.
Looking out from the high vantage point, one could see several mountain peaks away, where towering trees, some tens of meters tall, were being felled one after another. The mortals who had been waiting nearby rushed forward to clear the branches and saw them off. Then, several people worked together to transport the timber down the mountain.
Those who cut down the trees were all cultivators. They not only had to lead these mortals to clear the land, but also had to be responsible for the safety of the team and be constantly vigilant against wild beasts or even demonic beasts that might jump out of the mountains and cause a lot of casualties to the mortals.
Chen Ye watched for a while, then immediately returned to his cave.
At this rate of clearing, they'll probably reach the vicinity of this cliff in no time.
Having been in seclusion for so long, Chen Ye had almost completely cut off communication with the outside world and had no idea what had happened on the island that had attracted human settlers.
But now that I've broken through, there's no point in staying here.
Chen Ye put all the items in the cave into his storage bag, and then activated more than a dozen cleansing talismans and purification talismans to completely erase his remaining aura.
Finally, he put away the array he had set up at the cave entrance, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.
.........
Five days later.
The dark, damp forest was filled with a faint miasma, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of rotting leaves, in which unknown insects scurried and crawled.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a brownish-red centipede, as long as an adult's arm, darted out from under a fallen leaf.
Before the centipede's dark blue venomous jaws could bite its target, a sharp beam of energy flashed past, splitting the centipede's body in two with a "thud," and it fell to the ground.
