Chapter 6

Buzz!

Under the influence of the Heavenly Emperor's Technique, the suction force made the spiritual artifact instantly shrink and enter his body.

The sword entered his body, and a surge of spiritual energy followed, instantly impacting his internal organs, meridians, and bones. The powerful force almost made him faint, and his body nearly exploded.

"Condense!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Ye Yan's mouth as he fiercely thought to himself.

With a single word, he immediately activated the Heavenly Emperor's Technique again, and the spiritual energy was drawn to his dantian under the influence of this technique.

In just an instant, Ye Yan felt his dantian become full.

Then, he sensed his cultivation realm…

"Third Stage of the Condensing Qi Realm!"

While cultivators usually advance from the Ninth Stage of the Foundation Building Realm to the First Stage of the Condensing Qi Realm, Ye Yan had surpassed this level and directly reached the Third Stage of the Condensing Qi Realm.

If this were known to the outside world, it would surely cause a great shock.

What others take half a year or even a full year to achieve, Ye Yan had accomplished in an instant.

"This short sword is not a true spiritual artifact; if it were, I might have reached the Fourth or even Fifth Stage of the Condensing Qi Realm," Ye Yan murmured.

The Heavenly Emperor's Technique is indeed extraordinary.

"I wonder which type of spiritual energy I can cultivate?" Ye Yan murmured.

There are myriad types of spiritual energy in the world, such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, cloud, thunder, sword, dragon, tiger, and more. After reaching the Condensing Qi Realm, one's dantian not only changes color but also takes on a specific shape. For example, a 'thunder' shape indicates a thunder-type dantian, which can absorb thunder-type spiritual energy and release thunderous power, known as a thunder body.

If it is a 'sword' shape, it indicates a sword-type dantian, which can absorb sword-type spiritual energy and release powerful sword qi, known as a sword body.

At this moment, Ye Yan also focused on his dantian. Although he possessed an imperial body, he did not know which type it was. He guessed it might be a sword body, making him an imperial sword body.

But the next moment, he noticed a light flashing over his dantian, revealing myriad shapes, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, cloud, thunder, sword, dragon, tiger, and more.

Then, the dantian transformed into the most ancient character:

"Ten Thousand!"

This indicated that Ye Yan possessed the attributes of ten thousand types of spiritual energy!

He could absorb any type of spiritual energy in the world and condense any type of power.

Throughout ancient history, at least according to the ancient texts, such a phenomenon had never been recorded.

Even though he possessed an imperial body, it would not have been like this. Everything was due to the 'Heavenly Emperor's Technique'?

"Now, am I a Ten Thousand-Attribute Imperial Body?"

"Can I manifest any type of power in the world?"

Such a constitution, if revealed, would surely shock the entire Flame World.

"Yun Feiyue, though awakened as a holy body, is only a cloud-type holy body. But I… possess a Ten Thousand-Attribute Imperial Body!"

"Yun Feixue, Yun Feiyue, your arrogance is nothing before me!"

Ye Yan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.

Then, he took a deep breath, his expression returning to normal. He continued to sense his body, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"My soul seems to have grown stronger!"

</di>

"My perception is also more acute!"

"It seems a soul pearl has formed in my mind…"

A soul pearl, like a dantian, can store spiritual energy. However, a soul pearl stores soul energy, which is the power of the soul.

In the world, besides spiritual energy cultivators, there is another profession known as soul masters, such as alchemists, artifact refiners, and array masters. These cultivators are also known as soul energy cultivators…

One must possess soul energy to become an alchemist, etc.

It is worth noting that whether it is an alchemist, artifact refiner, or array master, their status in the Flame World is extremely high.

Unfortunately, soul energy is rare, and many cultivators cannot become soul masters throughout their lives.

Even in Cangyun City, there are only three soul masters, who are highly revered guests of powerful sects and families.

Even Yun Feiyue and Yun Feixue's Yun Dynasty Sect holds powerful soul masters in high regard.

If the news that Ye Yan is a soul master were to spread, the entire empire would be shaken again.

However, Ye Yan was aware that the Ye Family was still far from matching the Yun Family, so he had to keep it hidden.

"Condense…"

In the next moment, he suddenly focused his mind.

Instantly, a fine thread of soul energy, invisible to the naked eye, emerged from his soul pearl and shot out under his control.

Crack!

A stone platform in the room was instantly penetrated.

"Soul energy… truly terrifying!" Ye Yan murmured. This was just a single burst of power, not the result of using a martial technique. Such power was enough for Ye Yan to contend with a Fifth Stage Condensing Qi Realm cultivator.

If combined with spiritual energy, he could even match a Sixth Stage Condensing Qi Realm cultivator.

"The Heavenly Emperor's Technique can cultivate not only spiritual energy but also soul energy!" Ye Yan murmured, marveling at the technique.

"The Cangyun Battle is still a month away, but my current strength is not enough."

Qi Shan's cultivation has reached the Core Formation Realm!

"It seems I must go to the Lingtai Sword Tomb." However, Ye Yan was aware of the place, located in a mountain range outside Cangyun City.

It was once the artifact refining site of a Lingtai Realm expert…

However, it is surrounded by restrictions, making it extremely dangerous.

Inside the Sword Tomb, there are also arrays, and only those under eighteen years old can enter. Even if there are spiritual artifacts, they will only choose those with great talent.

For ordinary young cultivators, entering is useless.

Therefore, the opening of the Sword Tomb will definitely trigger a competition among geniuses.

But… Ye Yan's expression was resolute. He must go to this place and must obtain that spiritual artifact.

If the spiritual artifact truly chooses the most talented, then this treasure belongs to him. After absorbing it, his strength will definitely increase again!

However, before that, although Ye Yan has reached such a level of talent, he needs to enhance his combat strength.

"Now that I have entered the Condensing Qi Realm, I should be able to choose some martial techniques!"

Ye Yan's expression hardened as he looked at the Heavenly Emperor's Sword.

Instantly, the sword glowed, and his mind entered the mysterious world again. Buzz!
