Chapter 1105 - 1205: Ineffective Conversion

In an instant, the spiritual power within Ye Tianfan was almost completely depleted.

Because that vine could be considered a living creature. So Ye Tianfan needed to expend much more spiritual power, which instantly drained him.

Then, as Ye Tianfan felt that his spiritual power was nearly exhausted, he also felt a dull pain in his head.

Ye Tianfan knew that his spiritual power had also been largely siphoned away.

Although Ye Tianfan's expenditure was enormous at this moment, he still felt that the negative energies such as demonic qi and evil qi on the vine-like wall-external creature's branch had completely transformed into spiritual power.

Next, Ye Tianfan and the others saw that the tip of the vine had begun to decompose.

However, a black-purple gas emerged again from the base of the vine and quickly spread upwards.

When the tip of the vine decomposed half of the branch, the black-purple gas below intercepted the decomposition process.

Next, Ye Tianfan saw this black-purple gas continuing to extend upwards, slowly regenerating the branch that had just decomposed. Seeing this, Ye Tianfan sighed deeply in his heart.

Because at this rate of upward spread, it meant that Ye Tianfan's tremendous consumption only earned them a brief delay.

However, as the vine continued to grow, Taichu Zhenren directly swung his sword, turning that branch of the vine into ashes.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan looked at Taichu Zhenren in surprise and then understood. If Taichu Zhenren acted, it would provide a cover, and Ye Tianfan also realized that unless he could convert the entire wall-external creature directly into other energies, merely converting parts of them couldn't kill them, as their remaining parts would gradually return.

It seems that, for now, Taichu Zhenren is still the most efficient in slaying these wall-external creatures, after all, he wields his own Xiaoyao Sword, and also has enough spiritual power to activate the power of elimination within Xiaoyao Sword.

With sufficient power of elimination, they could quickly wipe out these wall-external creatures. They had previously understood that to eliminate these wall-external creatures completely, it was necessary to use the power of rules.

However, if the entire venture against the outside of the wall relied solely on Taichu Zhenren, it would be impossible, since Taichu Zhenren is only one person, and he might have to slow down due to insufficient spiritual power, or worse, be ambushed by other wall-external creatures.

Besides, if they all relied on Taichu Zhenren, their actions would be terribly slow.

Therefore, if they want to develop quickly outside the wall, the first thing they must do is figure out how to eliminate wall-external creatures themselves, even if it takes a hundred people to deal with one wall-external creature, as long as they can eliminate them, no matter how many people it takes.

Moreover, what is most important now is to capture one wall-external creature and start researching how they can really eliminate them. Although this process may be very lengthy, given that during the previous great event in the cultivation realm they couldn't find an appropriate method to completely eliminate wall-external creatures — and that was just caused by a single wall-external creature's corpse.

And now, they face truly powerful wall-external creatures.

It's worth noting that even the monsters created from the corpses of wall-external creatures have already led to significant losses for them.

Now, facing wall-external creatures with better resurrection effects, Ye Tianfan and the others can only find every possible way to discover the real weakness of these wall-external creatures in the shortest time, rather than relying solely on Taichu Zhenren.

Otherwise, if they want to truly explore outside the wall, they would have to keep Taichu Zhenren here constantly. Once Taichu Zhenren returns to the cultivation realm, they would have no one left to truly confront those wall-external creatures.

Moreover, Taichu Zhenren, being the sect leader, cannot stay outside the wall constantly, leading the group in their ventures.

After all, Taichu Zhenren also needs to return to Taichu Sect to oversee some development there. If Taichu Zhenren were to hand over the Xiaoyao Sword to others, neither Taichu Zhenren nor Ye Tianfan would feel comfortable letting others manage it, as the Xiaoyao Sword is still Ye Tianfan's personal magical treasure.

And it is still one of the few known magical treasures in the cultivation realm that contains the power of rules. Every sect has more or less some magical treasures containing the power of rules, but none as potent as Xiaoyao Sword. Also, the Daffodil artifact possessed by Fan Sect has a certain purifying effect, yet its purifying effect is not very strong against wall-external creatures, as the rule power contained in Daffodil is not substantial.

If a large amount of wall-external resources were continuously used to cultivate Daffodil, perhaps it might reach the ability to utilize rules.

However, such cultivation demands tremendous time and cost, given that with those resources it would be enough to create another magical treasure capable of wielding rule power.

Of course, whether it can truly be cultivated or not depends on luck and timing. But compared to cultivating Daffodil, re-forging a magical treasure with rule power seems slightly better.

Because the resources used to cultivate Daffodil are enough to refine several magical treasures, and still of peerless quality.

If Yuan Chu Zhenren were to refine these magical treasures, perhaps there's a great chance he could create one to two items with rule power, as Yuan Chu Zhenren, provided ample materials, can already forge peerless magical treasures, and further refine them into rule-power magical treasures might be somewhat difficult for Yuan Chu Zhenren, but if materials are sufficient, there is a great hope that he can forge a magical treasure with rule power. With abundant materials, after Yuan Chu Zhenren's trial and error, he might truly grasp how to forge a magical treasure with rule power.

By then, Taichu Sect might genuinely be able to mass-produce magical treasures containing rule power, for Yuan Chu Zhenren is particularly gifted in artifact refining.

If he masters the technique for crafting rule-power magical treasures, as long as materials suffice, he can mass produce them; he might even achieve one for each person.

By then, Taichu Sect might be able to use the power of one sect to dominate the entire cultivation realm.
