Chapter 78: Shen Nong's Hundred Herb Cauldron

  "How could this be?" Ye Chen was puzzled, feeling a sense of loss in his heart. If from now on he couldn't awaken the cellular particles again, it would mean that every time he upgraded to a higher realm, the increase in physical strength would greatly diminish.

  But soon, Ye Chen's sense of loss was replaced by surprise, as the ninety-nine golden particles in his body that made up the star domain diagram slowly rotated, emitting a thread of golden light that connected with the orifice where the spiritual energy was pouring in.

  As a large amount of spiritual energy surged into the acupoint, the acupoint also began to emit a faint golden light, as if it was being divinized bit by bit. At the same time, a surge of blood energy overflowed from within the acupoint, vigorous and powerful. In an instant, Ye Chen felt that his strength had increased significantly.

  "This... a cavity that has completely turned into orange-gold color, the overflowing blood energy is absolutely much more than the awakening of one hundred cell particles, and the ninety-nine golden particle star domain diagram seems to have some relationship with the cavity..."

  Ye Chen muttered to himself, he had begun to have a misunderstanding of his own body, the relationship between the acupoints and the star map, what was the connection between them, it made him puzzled.

  Breaking through to the 9th rank boundary, the spiritual energy contained in the Ling medicine had not been fully absorbed by Ye Chen. The spiritual energy contained in this single first-class mid-grade Ling medicine was truly too vast. Ye Chen would not waste it, as once a Ling medicine is used, its effects cannot be maintained again. In other words, if he stopped cultivating now, the remaining spiritual energy in this Ling medicine could not be preserved and would gradually dissipate with time, re-fusing into the heavens and earth.

  His body underwent a great transformation, his cells no longer being the same as before, unable to sense or burst with blood energy. However, after his acupoints were cleansed by spiritual energy, they continuously overflowed with strong and pure blood energy, cleansing every part of his body.

  A star map composed of ninety-nine golden particles emitted a faint, gossamer thread of golden energy that connected to the acupoint like a silk thread. As the two communicated with each other through their energies, every time the star map rotated, Ye Chen felt his mind clear and seemed to see the boundless starry sky of countless worlds. His gaze appeared to become even clearer, and when he opened his eyes, he could clearly see the dust particles suspended in the air of the cave, floating one by one in mid-air.

  Moreover, Ye Chen discovered that since entering the ninth stage, his control over the Chaotic Fairy Mark had become even more refined. The mark's absorption of spiritual energy had increased dramatically, and the spiritual energy from the medicinal herb poured into his body like a tidal wave. The acupoint was like an endless abyss, absorbing all the spiritual energy as if it would never be filled to the brim. A large amount of blood energy overflowed, and the light of the Star Domain Diagram seemed to become even more resplendent under the overflowing blood energy.

  Suddenly, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat as his divine sense automatically penetrated every part of his body, clearly seeing the bronze tripod sealed by the Great Dao in his dantian. The tripod was quietly suspended, with three legs and two ears, its body engraved with ancient patterns of flowers, grass, trees, and various other kinds that Ye Chen had never seen or heard of before.

  On it were clearly engraved five big characters.

  The Divine Farmer's Hundred Herb Cauldron

  At this moment, Ye Chen was as if struck by thunder, and he stood there in a daze.

  Shennong? Isn't this the ancestor in the ancient myths of Huaxia?

  Shennong traveled through mountains and rivers, entered the land of extremes, tasted all kinds of herbs, and finally buried his bones in a foreign land. He is the true ancestor of Huaxia. The old monk once told him that the figures in ancient Chinese myths were not legends but real people. They were said to be mythical because later rulers wanted to show off their own achievements, burying all the contributions of their ancestors and erasing all their great deeds from history.

  The Huaxia civilization has a history of five thousand years, with its roots stretching far and wide. But in reality, it goes much further back than that. In the past, Ye Chen had always been skeptical of Old Monk's words, but now he didn't doubt them one bit. Ever since he mysteriously arrived here, Ye Chen had personally experienced the kind of legendary stories that happened to him.

  Shennong Baicao Ding, a tripod that can exist in the dantian sealed by the Great Way without any damage. It's not necessary to think about it, Ye Chen also knows that it is absolutely not an ordinary object. And the original owner of this tripod, Huaxia Zhenzu Shennong, was he really buried in a foreign land because of tasting a hundred herbs?

  Ye Chen had many doubts in his heart, he didn't know how powerful the existence of Shen Nong was, but he couldn't believe that the poison of a hundred herbs could make it fall, this was really too unbelievable, if not, then what was all this for?

  Now, the Shennong Baicao Ding is in his own body. Ye Chen feels like he's dreaming, it's so unreal, but his divine consciousness clearly sees that bronze cauldron floating and sinking in the dantian sealed by the Great Way.

  "Chaos Xianhun once said that the hope of lifting the seal of the Great Dao lies within my body, within my body... Could he be referring to this 'Shennong Baicao Ding'?"

  Ye Chen's heart was stirred, the Shen Nong Baicao Ding was an object of the ancestors of the Huaxia people, it must be a treasure that defies heaven, and he saw the hope of removing the seal on his Dan Tian Da Dao, just like a person who had walked to the edge of a deep cliff and was in despair, suddenly seeing a rainbow bridge spanning the chasm above, although Ye Chen's heart had never been in despair before, but at this moment, his emotions were still stirred and difficult to express.

  However, he found that he couldn't communicate with the 'Shennong Baicao Ding' at all. It was floating in his dantian, like a life form that had fallen into deep sleep. Ye Chen couldn't communicate with it, blocked by the sealing power of the Great Dao, and his divine consciousness couldn't penetrate through his dantian to enter it.

  Ye Chen felt like a person who owned a treasure mountain but couldn't use it, and his heart was somewhat depressed.

  At this time, the chaotic fairy mark on his chest suddenly became hot, and a thought and information was transmitted from it, directly gathering in Ye Chen's mind. At this moment, Ye Chen seemed to be in a vast expanse of chaos again, seeing the chaotic air that had crushed countless ages like a tidal wave rolling in, as if it would destroy all the heavens and ten thousand great worlds.

  As before, Ye Chen saw that tall divine soul figure in the chaotic space again. A thread of golden marks shot out from his body and pierced into Ye Chen's body in an instant, opening up the chaos.

  Scars shattered, golden light sparkling, transformed into countless tiny characters, each character containing the profound mystery of the universe, deeply imprinted on his body and mind.

  At the same time, several pieces of information also appeared in Ye Chen's mind.

  Evolutionary Technique: Can simulate all kinds of attacks in the world, and when Evolutionary Technique is cultivated to its peak, the evolved attack technique can even surpass the original attack technique.

  Kamaitachi: Can increase own speed by up to five times at most, consuming spiritual energy or blood energy, the more speed is increased, the greater the consumption.

  Chaos Town Tianyin: The invincible will that gathers the chaotic bloodline releases a heaven-shattering and earth-splitting supreme sound wave, stunning or injuring the enemy.

  “！！？”

  Ye Chen finally knew why the owner of the Chaotic Bloodline was called the number one physique in the world. Not to mention what kind of heaven-defying and invincible secret techniques he could get after entering the Secret Realm of the Sea of Fate, just what he had now was absolutely heaven-defying.

  The Evolutionary Technique, a technique that simulates all kinds of attacks in the world, means that no matter who you fight with in the future, you will not be suppressed by others due to the means of attack, and from the very beginning, you are standing on invincible ground.

  The Kamaitachi Step can increase one's speed by up to five times, what a concept, whether it's for attacking or escaping, it's an indispensable secret technique. The Chaos Sealing Heaven Sound is even more astonishing, as it condenses the unstoppable will of chaos into sound waves that can directly kill with sonic force. Of course, this also depends on the opponent's strength, but no matter what, even if the opponent is extremely powerful and cannot be stunned or injured, at least they will be affected. When combined with the Kamaitachi Step, it becomes an invincible body. As long as one doesn't get trapped in a situation where they are surrounded by multiple strong enemies, who can pose a threat to their life?

  Ye Chen increasingly wants to break the seal and enter the Secret Realm of Fate earlier. As for what the Chaotic Immortal Soul said, only after entering the Secret Realm of Fate will he understand why the Chaotic Bloodline is invincible in the Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, and the Myriad Ancient Skies. He looks forward to it very much, wondering what kind of secret technique inheritance he will receive at that time.

  Ye Chen had been in here for over twenty days. The spiritual energy of the first-class medium-grade spirit medicine had not been fully absorbed and had turned into a withered mushroom, which fell from his chest with a rustling sound. Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, and under the radiant light of the Star Domain Diagram within his body, his divine sense had undergone tremendous refinement over the past few days.

  The physical body is refined to the ninth level, and the spirit is cultivated to a certain degree, allowing for complete control over the blood and energy within the body. A dimensional space is opened in the dantian, creating a small world within the body. Under the control of the spirit, this space generates suction, opening all pores on the body to absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The absorbed energy washes and refines the entire body, eventually gathering in the dimensional space in the dantian, forming a sea of spiritual energy. When this sea of spiritual energy connects with the fountain of life in the physical body, the body is once again refined by the blood and energy, marking the entry into the Secret Realm of Destiny and becoming a true cultivator.

  With the Star Domain Diagram, the cultivation of the 9th rank divine sense became much easier for Ye Chen. It was no longer like the 7th and 8th ranks where he needed to consume a first-grade spirit medicine just to make progress. The Star Domain Diagram had always been slowly rotating within his body, like a series of planets orbiting along their trajectories, constantly sprinkling down golden light that penetrated into his flesh and divine sense.

  His strength increased again, and he obtained the secret technique of blood inheritance. In his body, there was another star domain diagram, and he saw hope to break the seal of the Great Dao. Ye Chen Zhi was overjoyed, stood up straight, swung his hand, and a burst of energy emerged. The clothes on the ground were sucked into his hand, and after quickly putting them on, he set off towards the entrance of the mountain cave.

  Ye Chen leaped down from the hundred-meter-high cave, jumping into the air and making a series of palm strikes. With the force of the airflow pushing against him, Ye Chen landed steadily on the ground. He turned around to take one last look at the cave behind the waterfall on the stone wall, knowing he would never return to this place again. Having already entered the ninth stage of physical cultivation, it was time for him to consider entering a blessed land to continue his practice. The mundane world's environment was no longer suitable for him.

  The second one has been delivered, and the third one will be sent at 10 o'clock.
