Chapter 325 The Cave of No Form
The resources needed by a practitioner—Dharma, wealth, companions, and environment—are summarized here.
Whoever possesses more and better things will be able to cultivate faster and more skillfully!
What gives the son of the Great Emperor the right to crush all living beings and sit on the highest throne?
Isn't it just that his Dharma, wealth, companions, and land far surpass those of ordinary cultivators, and every move he makes reeks of money?
Wen has no first, Wu has no second.
Young Master Wen Yu is also an imperial prince, and even one of the two imperial princes, so naturally he has to compete with Xing Hanhai.
Since the other party wants to invite these juniors to a gathering, it makes sense for me to summon Qinchun Lake, right?
hum!
The crack suddenly spread outwards, revealing even more enchanting scenery.
A single, vibrant green dewdrop fell from a vast expanse of blue lotus blossoms that blotted out the sky.
The dewdrop fell into the soil, and instantly a hundred-foot-long red light rose, and a vermilion fruit grew on the spot, emitting a mouthwatering fragrance.
This thing can strengthen a person's very nature and arouse the most primal hunger!
Humans can fill their stomachs by eating, but if they can consume this Vermilion Fruit, they can replenish their own essence!
The vast majority of cultivators, from birth to death, have only a small amount of their original essence.
Life is mostly about consumption; it's a continuous process of loss.
Unlike spiritual power, the source energy cannot absorb the essence of heaven and earth to replenish itself.
The masses can only watch helplessly as it diminishes, sighing and lamenting, yet powerless to do anything about it.
Only those with good fortune have the chance to find one or two opportunities in this vast land.
If one can replenish the source, one can enhance everything, including talent.
Not only can they stand out, but they can also live longer and explore the unknown.
Such a precious opportunity is rare and hard to come by.
But now... in Xing Hanhai's cave, a single dewdrop can generate a vermilion fruit.
What others dream of is merely an inconspicuous fruit here.
The students had complex expressions, a mixture of envy and lamentation, yet they dared not reveal a trace of covetousness or hostility.
"As expected of the son of the Great Emperor, he is completely different from us."
"Only the Great Emperor could bestow the Earthly Ruins Secret Realm as a cave dwelling!"
"The Earthly Ruins Secret Realm could probably buy half a domain, right?"
"Things that are rare and hard to come by are often priceless and unavailable."
The vast universe contains countless blessed lands and grottoes.
Among them are large and small, the largest being the various domains, occupying an immeasurable amount of land, boundless and limitless.
Countless living beings, living and dying, working and toiling, all reside on this land.
Because it is so vast, it has its own spiritual essence, and can even generate its own Heavenly Dao.
The entire realm can be regarded as a single living being.
Although they lack instinct, they still know how to seek advantage and avoid harm.
When faced with a powerful enemy invasion, they will use all available resources to suppress and drive them away.
The realm can nurture endless resources, so powerful that it can continuously produce emperors.
Even if there isn't one now, there must have been a powerful supreme being in history.
There is no more important resource in the world than this.
Every emperor has his eyes set on other realms.
If they can find a way to avoid being suppressed and ostracized, they will definitely think of invading and controlling it, refining and mastering it.
Besides the realm, there are countless smaller blessed lands.
These tiny spaces can appear anywhere.
Whether within the realm or in the abyss beyond, there is a possibility of discovering blessed lands.
These spaces are collectively referred to as secret realms, and their conditions vary greatly.
Ninety-nine percent of the secret realms are extremely small, possibly containing only a single room or a desolate wasteland with virtually no resources.
There are many reasons for the birth of secret realms; they may be scraps that were peeled off when the primordial chaos was first created and all worlds were formed.
It could also be fragments of space torn apart during a battle between two powerful individuals.
Without special circumstances, most secret realms are desolate and not very useful.
Like the legendary Peach Blossom Spring, although it is a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains, it is only a paradise in the eyes of ordinary people.
If cultivators plunder extensively, the land will soon be depleted and abandoned.
Therefore, once these secret places are discovered, they are used as secret rooms.
Various families, sects, and holy lands seal away precious items or use them to secretly cultivate assassins, for a variety of purposes.
These tiny, hidden gems are all considered second-rate.
In the eyes of the strong, it is a relatively rare but not precious little toy.
Larger, and more valuable, are the Earth Ruins-level secret realms.
Qinchun Lake is one such example!
Its territory spans hundreds of millions of miles, seemingly endless, enough to contain an entire sect's sacred land.
Moreover, it can generate spiritual liquid on its own, which can continuously nourish powerful beings, making its effects astonishing.
Whichever faction obtains this secret realm will treasure it and wish they could move their entire family there.
Rumors occasionally circulate that a secret realm has been discovered somewhere, inviting fellow cultivators to break the restrictions and share the extraordinary treasures.
That was the ancient sacred ground of the sect, where the entire force was moved into the secret realm to make full use of its resources.
The realm is vast, with resources trillions of times greater than those of the secret realm.
However, because the area is too large, the spiritual energy is scattered.
The secret realms are relatively more concentrated, providing more than enough for one faction.
The amount of air contained in a country is naturally countless times greater than that in a compressed bottle.
However, if only three to five people are using it, then naturally they would prefer to choose a compressed bottle.
The preciousness of a secret realm can drive anyone mad.
Because of this, those cultivators who broke through the restrictions also repeated the mistakes of the sects and holy lands.
Once again, they all fought and died in a struggle for resources.
Who knows how many years later, someone will come to explore it again.
Yet this very place, a realm of earthly ruins, was used as a cave dwelling by the son of the Great Emperor.
Qinchun Lake is enough to nurture an entire sect's sacred land and raise generations of powerful individuals.
Such extravagant behavior is truly disheartening.
One of the elite disciples proudly declared, "I was once favored by the son of Emperor Xing and entered the Qinchun Lake Cave."
The cultivator, with his keen hearing and sharp eyesight, immediately caught the attention of the students on the nearby floating islands, who asked, "How is it?"
The elite disciple reminisced with satisfaction: "What a treasure land! In just one hour, my cultivation level jumped from the mid-stage of the Heavenly Pivot realm to the late-stage."
"Just one step away from becoming a Supreme Being and ruling a sect."
“Qinchun Lake is full of rare fruits, enjoy them as you please.”
“If we eat too little, the prince will be unhappy and scold us…”
The students listened with great interest, their throats bobbing as they unconsciously immersed themselves in the scene.
Such a precious place, no matter which sect's holy land it is located in, can only be entered by the highest-ranking core members.
But now, it serves as the prince's cave dwelling, used as his daily residence.
People are filled with envy, unable to feel any other emotions.
Someone sighed, "I really hope the Emperor's son can invite me to that Qingchun Lake... I'll only eat one spiritual fruit, I won't be greedy for more!"
Others immediately mocked, "You? If you weren't a direct disciple of the furnace master, or a leader of one of those halls, why would the Emperor's son pay any attention to you!"
The situation in Jieyuan Prefecture is complex, involving members from various realms and forces.
The imperial son entered the study partly because he was attracted by the furnace master's unique wisdom furnace, which could make his cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
On the other hand, it also serves to win over the elites of other realms and put them to use for their own purposes.
Even though the Great Emperor is powerful, it is difficult for him to enter other realms.
We can't just squeeze out the emperor's blood every time and let it explode randomly like a bomb.
Therefore, the more subordinates you have, and the stronger they are, the more things you can accomplish.
No one ever thinks they have too many strong generals under their command; in fact, the more the merrier.
The Jieyuan Prefecture is already teeming with elites. A single Tian Shu expert from the outside world can become the leader of a sect or lead a family that has lasted for a thousand years.
But here, he was just an ordinary student, relegated to the bottom of society, sharing a dormitory with others.
Only the elite of the elite can catch the eye of the Emperor's son or the furnace master.
The student who was mocked knew his own worth and wasn't angry. He just sighed, "Such a hidden realm of desolation, there is probably only one like it in the entire Jieyuan Prefecture, right?"
Xing Hanhai also heard the whispers around him and naturally straightened his chest.
As a prince, he was used to being constantly showered with praise.
He spoke domineeringly: "Young Master Wen Yu, is this place alright?"
Young Master Wenyu lightly waved his folding fan and smiled, "It's alright."
Xing Hanhai took a step forward, his aggression palpable: "You can't find a better spot either. If you want to drink, where else can you choose besides my residence?"
Since Young Master Wen Yu is causing trouble, I can't let him get away with it either.
The Earth Ruins Secret Realm is a rare treasure even for Great Emperors.
Any Earthly Ruins-level Secret Realm can continuously cultivate powerful cultivators.
Such a strategic resource could be used as a cave dwelling for Xing Hanhai, solely for his daily life.
It is evident that the Emperor favored and liked him.
The Emperor has more than one son; others haven't even had the chance to dream of him yet!
Young Master Wen Yu could see the dissatisfaction and provocation, but he just chuckled and said, "Not bad at all, but not worthy of these friends."
Zhuang Rubai subtly pursed his lips.
The rivalry between these two imperial princes has also elevated the status and prestige of their respective sides.
What kind of friend would you not even look at properly, but only use as a tool to show off?
But the next moment.
despair.
Young Master Wen Yu snapped his fingers, and a wisp of green light illuminated the void.
Another gap slowly unfolded next to Qinchun Lake.
hum!
All the students around were taken aback: "What!"
The gap had barely appeared when they discovered that their bottleneck was beginning to loosen.
The confusion of the past has become clear, and the principles that were once impossible to grasp have become clear.
Boom boom boom!
Hundreds and thousands of rays of light burst forth from the floating island.
The students' auras surged, their expressions were excited, and their spiritual power flowed freely.
They had all reached the edge of advancement, either moving from the early to the middle stage of their respective realms, or from the late stage to the next realm.
The moment the rift opened, it seemed as if all the ascetic practices had lost their meaning.
How can years of hard study compare to the efforts of God the Third?
hum!
The crack gradually widened, and a grotto appeared before us.
Profound scriptures are carved on the stone wall, and the dripping cold pool is filled with Taoist charm.
In the shadows, they seemed to crawl like snakes, but when they appeared in the light, they turned out to be vivid laws!
When the energy becomes dense enough, inanimate objects come to life, and everything becomes sentient!
Young Master Wen Yu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xing, why not come to my Wuxiang Cave? Fine wine and delicacies are plentiful!"
"Alas, Fellow Daoist Xing is an imperial prince, so he should be entertained with an even higher-level earth vein secret realm."
"Unfortunately, my financial resources are limited. I'll have to deal with this using a Earth-level weapon for now."
"Any lower and it won't be good."
Xing Hanhai's expression was gloomy, and his eyes seemed capable of killing!
Earthly Peak level! This is actually an Earthly Peak level secret realm!
The Earth Ruins level already has hundreds of millions of miles of space, boundless and limitless, and countless rare and precious materials that can prolong life.
Unexpectedly, Young Master Wen Yu actually brought out a level-one secret realm, which was ten thousand times larger!
