Chapter 2225: Nightmare Magic Cube
Chapter 2225: Chapter 2225: Nightmare Magic Cube
Yuantong Immortal Venerable and Clan Chief Xin Si, each took twenty percent of the ore veins.
Jing Yan stored away the remaining part of the large ore vein and then extracted the small ore vein and scattered Netherworld Crystal Stones. This small ore vein was obtained from Lu Chun and only accounted for half of a complete ore vein. Jing Yan still divided it according to the overall proportion, finally setting aside forty percent of the scattered Netherworld Crystal Stones. Of course, it was impossible to divide the scattered Netherworld Crystal Stones precisely; they were roughly distributed, and Yuantong Immortal Venerable and Clan Chief Xin Si wouldn’t be overly particular.
As for the Netherworld Heart within the Netherworld Map, Jing Yan did not mention it proactively. Yuantong Immortal Venerable and Clan Chief Xin Si also did not bring up the Netherworld Heart. They understood clearly that Jing Yan must have obtained the Netherworld Heart upon entering the Netherworld Map, but they did not know exactly how many Netherworld Hearts Jing Yan acquired.
The two did not mention it, nor did they intend to ask for the Netherworld Heart. The Netherworld Heart is definitely a valuable item, and Netherworld Crystal Stones cannot compare to it. Yuantong and Xin Si both wanted the Netherworld Heart, but unspokenly chose not to mention it.
This was because Jing Yan possessed enough strength.
If Jing Yan were still at the Nether Sky Realm level, Yuantong Immortal Venerable would certainly inquire about the Netherworld Map and the Netherworld Heart. Even Clan Chief Xin Si would not easily give up the Netherworld Heart.
"Hehe, this time with the Yellow Spring Cave open so many times, the Netherworld Crystal Stones I have obtained should be the most." Yuantong Immortal Venerable said with a smile.
The probability of finding large ore veins in the Yellow Spring Cave is really too low.
"Our Xin Family has really gotten a great bargain this time. Haha... Hahaha..." Clan Chief Xin Si was very happy.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, once all this is dealt with here, you must come to the Xin Family territory as a guest." Clan Chief Xin Si invited Jing Yan to visit the Xin Family, aiming to consolidate relations with Jing Yan.
"I will definitely come by if I have the time to disturb you." Jing Yan said with a smile.
"Jing Yan, you killed Lu Chun in the Yellow Spring Cave. Mystic Moon Trading House might not remain indifferent. Do you have any strategies to deal with this?" Yuantong Immortal Venerable said more seriously.
The power of Mystic Moon Trading House is too strong, and not even Yuantong Immortal Venerable can directly confront it.
If two or more elders come from the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters, Yuantong Immortal Venerable might be able to hold them off for Jing Yan for a while, allowing him time to escape. But if the number of elders from Mystic Moon Trading House exceeds two, that becomes a huge problem.
"I have a plan in mind. Although I am currently not in the Immortal Venerate Realm, if I focus on leaving, even several Immortal Venerables may not be able to stop me." Jing Yan said softly, carrying confidence in his words.
"That’s good." Yuantong Immortal Venerable nodded.
"Jing Yan, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you," Yuantong Immortal Venerable abruptly turned the conversation, "Earlier, I saw you use Divine Soul attack methods, but it seemed you did not use any Divine Soul Techniques. Your Divine Soul attack seemed to only rely on your own Divine Soul Body to unleash Divine Soul Power, hence its effect wasn’t great. I guess, you have yet to master Soul Techniques, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened.
Indeed, his Divine Soul attack was without structure. Divine Soul Storm and Divine Soul Wind Blade were very rudimentary uses of Divine Soul Power. They were naturally effective against cultivators with relatively weak Divine Soul Bodies, but against those with fierce strength, possessing strong Divine Soul Bodies, his Divine Soul attack did not work.
If provided with suitable Soul Techniques, Jing Yan believed he might even possibly kill the Black River Heavenly Monarch.
Jing Yan’s gaze burnt eagerly towards Yuantong Immortal Venerable.
"The Immortal Venerable is right, I really have yet to master Divine Soul Techniques," Jing Yan said.
"Tsk tsk, truly impressive. Without resorting to Soul Techniques, you’re able to deploy Divine Soul attacks. Such ability, I haven’t seen before you. With your kind of capability, if you grasp Divine Soul Techniques, then..." Yuantong Immortal Venerable exclaimed in surprise.
Earlier, he had already noticed the crudeness of Jing Yan’s Divine Soul attack, yet hearing Jing Yan admit he doesn’t know Divine Soul Techniques astonished him greatly. At the side, Clan Chief Xin Si also displayed a face of shock.
"Divine Soul Techniques are extremely rare; cultivators who can practice Divine Soul Techniques are equally scarce."
"Jing Yan, if you wish to obtain Divine Soul Techniques, perhaps you can try heading to Nightmare City. There, exchanging a certain amount of Netherworld Crystal Stones presents a significant chance of acquiring High Level Divine Soul Techniques," Yuantong Immortal Venerable continued.
"Nightmare City?" Jing Yan wasn’t familiar with this city.
"Yes, Nightmare City! The creator of this city was an immensely powerful Soul Cultivator, not quite Immortal Emperor level, but extremely close. Ordinary cultivators cannot enter Nightmare City, yet I once obtained a Nightmare Magic Cube by chance. Possessing the Nightmare Magic Cube grants access to the path leading to Nightmare City," Yuantong Immortal Venerable said, while a black stamp-like item appeared in his palm.
Jing Yan conjectured that this must be the Nightmare Magic Cube Yuantong Immortal Venerable was referring to.
"Nightmare City?"
"It’s a legendary city!"
"It is said that very few outsiders ever enter Nightmare City, and Immortal Venerable, you actually have a Nightmare Magic Cube." Clan Chief Xin Si exclaimed in amazement, his eyes fixed on the Nightmare Magic Cube.
Nightmare City lies in Faro Heaven and truly borders on myth.
Cultivators who have entered Nightmare City are exceedingly rare. Not only are outsiders rarely able to enter Nightmare City; even soul cultivators who emerge from Nightmare City are extremely uncommon. Clan Chief Xin Si has only heard about sightings of Nightmare City’s soul cultivators in certain areas yet has never encountered one personally.
And the Nightmare Magic Cube carries an even more legendary aura. For Clan Chief Xin Si, seeing the Nightmare Magic Cube with his own eyes for the first time is itself a remarkable experience. It’s said that cultivators who possess a Nightmare Magic Cube and gain entry to Nightmare City receive immense benefits, whether or not they manage to practice Soul Techniques. For instance, in Nightmare City, it’s possible to purchase a Soul Device, a kind of magic treasure capable of unleashing Divine Soul attacks, whose value is incalculable.
"I myself cannot practice Soul Techniques, so possessing the Nightmare Magic Cube is meaningless for me. Hence, I am gifting the Nightmare Magic Cube to you now." Yuantong Immortal Venerable offered the Nightmare Magic Cube to Jing Yan.
Though Jing Yan heard of Nightmare City and the Nightmare Magic Cube for the first time, witnessing Clan Chief Xin Si’s expression and hearing his words made him realize its value.
"Accept it; no need for too many words. Jing Yan, I initially hoped to keep you by my side to aid me, but witnessing you defeat the Black River Heavenly Monarch, I understood that my small temple cannot contain you. I only hope that when you reach greater heights, you can still remember me, Yuantong." Yuantong Immortal Venerable said with a light laugh.
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable." Jing Yan accepted the Nightmare Magic Cube.
Indeed, he earnestly desired to practice genuine Divine Soul Techniques. Without Soul Techniques, even though he bears a flawless Divine Soul Body, he cannot truly unleash its power.
