Chapter 1065: Chapter 946: Mystery and Crisis

“Hiss~”

Ye Fan glanced at the materials needed for the Soul Gathering Pill and couldn’t help but take a cold breath. Besides the Soul Gathering Grass, the remaining ingredients were extremely rare spiritual medicines in the Xuan Realm.

“To refine the Soul Gathering Pill, there’s still a long road ahead. It’s impossible in the short term!”

Familiar with the refining recipe for the ‘Soul Gathering Pill,’ Ye Fan recalled the information indicating that the Soul Gathering Grass was in a very dangerous Forbidden Zone in the Xuan Realm. He knew it was unrealistic to obtain the Soul Gathering Grass in the short term and decided to wait until he became stronger before venturing into the Forbidden Zone.

At present, what worried him the most was the passage between the Xuan Realm and Earth—the power of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was already very weak. It hadn’t fully recovered, and the recent energy spent on killing four cultivators from the Xuan Realm further weakened it, rendering the seal unstable and likely to be discovered and breached by strong people at any time.

“The primordial qi of the Xuan Realm is so rich that as long as I work hard in cultivation, my strength should increase quickly.”

A moment later, Ye Fan refocused his mind and keenly sensed that the primordial qi in this world was much richer than on Earth.

“Kid, although you have excellent talent, relying solely on absorbing the primordial qi for cultivation, even if you cultivate to death, you won’t become a Supreme Strongman, and won’t be able to seal the passage between the two realms by activating the complete Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.” Elder Xuan communicated with Ye Fan through mind, unreservedly striking him down.

“Why?”

Ye Fan was puzzled. Since the primordial qi of the Xuan Realm was so rich and his talent wasn’t bad, why couldn’t he cultivate to be a Supreme Strongman?

“First, the True Essence Realm is legendary on Earth, but in the Xuan Realm, it’s just the starting point of cultivation. In other words, cultivators of the True Essence Realm are the weakest in the Xuan Realm, only slightly stronger than those in the True Qi Realm. Well, the so-called True Qi Realm is like the Gang Qi Realm on Earth.”

“Second, although the spiritual energy in the Xuan Realm is rich, to quickly cultivate and become a strong person, just absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not enough. You need Spirit Stones, which are the equivalent of Essence Stones on Earth.”

Elder Xuan knew that Ye Fan, encountering the Xuan Realm for the first time, had very little understanding of this world. Additionally, since the Xuan Realm and Earth were two different worlds, there were still some significant differences, so he patiently explained to him.

“I see, so how can I get Spirit Stones?”

Ye Fan suddenly understood. This was something he should have known long ago, but he just hadn’t thought of it. With Elder Xuan’s guidance, he realized it.

On Earth, he had used Essence Stones and Heaven and Earth Source Liquid to cultivate, progressing rapidly!

Although the Xuan Realm and Earth aren’t the same world, their cultivation essence shouldn’t differ much. Naturally, Spirit Stones contain more primordial qi, purer, and are more beneficial to cultivators.

“Two paths. First, discover a Spirit Vein and cultivate within it, but this possibility is almost non-existent. On one hand, the Spirit Veins of the Xuan Realm are mostly occupied by various sects and powers, and those undiscovered Spirit Veins are located in extremely dangerous places, where your current strength cannot explore.”

“Second, find a way to become a disciple of a sect or power. With your talent, you’ll stand out quickly, and then you’ll receive abundant cultivation resources, not only Spirit Stones but elixir pills, spiritual artifacts, and the like.”

Elder Xuan knew that the Xuan Realm was still an unfamiliar world for Ye Fan, so he went to great lengths to explain in detail to him.

“Join a sect, huh…” Ye Fan pondered secretly. This was indeed a shortcut to obtaining Spirit Stones, but… the secrecy required would demand extreme caution.

“Then how can the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown be repaired?”

What Ye Fan cared most about was not Spirit Stones, for he could find ways to acquire them, but the repair of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was not a simple matter, or else it wouldn’t have remained unrepaired until now.

“There are still two ways. First, devour various precious materials used for refining spiritual artifacts. Second, directly devour spiritual artifacts. The stronger the devoured spiritual artifact, the better the effect.”

As the Artifact Spirit of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, Elder Xuan naturally cared more about repairing itself, explaining to Ye Fan: “The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown is one of the most powerful Emperor Weapons of the Xuan Realm. As long as there are sufficient artifact refining materials or spiritual artifacts, it can be repaired.”

“Devour… devour… spiritual artifacts?”

Ye Fan was directly stunned. Never would he have thought that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was so domineering that it could repair itself by devouring supreme-grade materials or finished spiritual artifacts. This was too unbelievable, wasn’t it?

As if seeing Ye Fan’s shock, Elder Xuan said calmly, “Don’t be surprised; there’s nothing strange about it. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown is the life-bound spiritual artifact personally refined by the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor and one of the most powerful Emperor Weapons in the Xuan Realm since ancient times. What’s strange about it devouring spiritual artifacts?”

Elder Xuan was quite proud; as the Artifact Spirit of an Emperor Weapon, he naturally had reasons to be proud. There were only a few Emperor Weapons in the entire Xuan Realm!

Emperor Weapon?

An Emperor Weapon again?!

Hearing these words, Ye Fan couldn’t help but recall the previous moment when he activated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, and the reaction of the four Xuan Realm cultivators. When they saw the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown demonstrating its power, they screamed as if seeing a ghost, saying the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was an Emperor Weapon.

“What kind of person is the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor? What is his relationship with my mother? Why would his spiritual artifact be with my mother?” Ye Fan suddenly thought of his mother and couldn’t help but ask.
