In the sky above the Dark Sea, Ye Chen's figure turned into a shadow and rushed towards the direction of the Huanghua Continent.
Nie Zhen felt Ye Chen's anxiety and tried to persuade him, "Ye Chen, you don't have to be so anxious. Qi Lingmeng is not a reckless person. Since they dared to make the God Spirit Message Talisman public, they must have a foolproof plan!"
In fact, both Ye Chen and Nie Zhen knew that Ye Yao and the others must have heard about Ye Chen's matter and wanted to share his burden by organizing the God Spirit Message Talisman Conference.
Under such circumstances, it was unknown whether Ye Yao and the others could still maintain their rationality.
Therefore, Ye Chen immediately set off and rushed towards the Huanghua Continent after knowing about this matter.
Hearing Nie Zhen's persuasion, Ye Chen was not swayed at all. He frowned even more and sped up.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Nie Zhen changed the topic and said, "Twenty days have passed since the God Spirit Message Talisman Conference was held. Now, even if the conference has not ended, there must be a large number of experts gathered at the conference. There is no lack of Supreme Dao experts among them. Although you have cultivated the Swordsmanship Classic and your strength has improved greatly, you still have to be careful when facing these Supreme Dao experts."
"Of course."
Ye Chen nodded and finally said, "After cultivating the Swordsmanship Classic, if I meet an opponent like Old Devil Tu again, I am confident that I can kill him. Moreover, I have also gained a lot in the picture world where the Original Killing God Murong Xian is. As long as I am given some time, I am confident that I can cultivate the Swordsmanship Classic to a higher level."
"Therefore, even if I go back now, I am confident that I can escape unscathed."
"You have only stayed in the picture world for a few days. What can you gain?"
Nie Zhen laughed. Obviously, he was trying to distract Ye Chen so that he would not be too impatient and lose his cool.
Ye Chen indeed needed to rely on these things to ease his anxiety. So, as he hurried along, he recalled the gains of the past few days.
"Over the past few days, I have comprehended a principle, which is that all skills return to the same origin. No matter how one cultivates, one will ultimately walk the path of comprehending the laws. Even if one cultivates Yuan Arrays, it is the same principle."
"Moreover, cultivating Origin Arrays has other benefits for a martial artist. Origin Arrays require a martial artist's mind and will to be highly concentrated. Frequently studying Origin Arrays will allow a martial artist's mind and will to become extremely compatible."
"When one is below the Divine Way realm, this kind of benefit may not be reflected, but when one reaches the Divine Way realm and begins to comprehend the Divine Way, the benefits of having a high degree of compatibility between mind and will will appear."
"Two martial art practitioners with the same talent, if one of them is an Origin Array Master and the other isn't, then after the two of them step into the Supreme Dao Realm, the gap between the two of them will gradually widen. This is the benefit of being an Origin Array Master."
"Of course, in order to obtain such benefits, the cultivator must raise their own Yuan Array level to an extremely high level."
As he recalled the cultivation of the past few days, Ye Chen's mind was suddenly filled with many insights.
In particular, the insights related to Yuan Arrays.
Originally, Yuan Arrays had already taken second place in Ye Chen's heart. His main focus was all on comprehending the Divine Way.
However, after this cultivation, Ye Chen suddenly realized that Yuan Array cultivation was equally important to a martial art practitioner.
"Ye Chen, it is really surprising that you can actually comprehend this. I originally thought that your greatest gain from this trip to the Sacred Race Ruins was cultivating the sword manual. Now, it seems that your greatest gain is being able to comprehend these principles." Nie Zhen laughed heartily, agreeing with what Ye Chen had said.
When a martial art practitioner cultivated, other people's guidance was important, but what was more important was self-comprehension.
Many martial art practitioners clearly knew a certain principle, but when they cultivated, they took the wrong path. This kind of situation was because the martial art principle wasn't comprehended by the martial art practitioner himself.
The principles spoken by others, even if these principles were the absolute truth, would still cause a sense of doubt in one's heart.
This kind of doubt wasn't much during normal times. However, when a martial art practitioner's cultivation wasn't going smoothly, this sense of doubt would immediately emerge and cause the martial art practitioner to lose confidence in their own cultivation.
Therefore, for a martial art practitioner, a momentary improvement in strength was far less useful than comprehending a certain martial art.
Ye Chen's impetuous mood calmed down a lot after he shared all his recent insights in one breath.
"At this time, I can't be impetuous. I have to be calm."
After warning himself inwardly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, "Senior Nie Zhen, thank you for your reminder."
If Nie Zhen hadn't deliberately diverted Ye Chen's thoughts, he would probably still be in a state of impetuousness. Therefore, Ye Chen being able to calm down was entirely thanks to Nie Zhen's help.
Seeing that Ye Chen's voice was calm and without the previous impatience, Nie Zhen smiled and said, "It's good that you can calm down. If it were any other situation where you couldn't control your state of mind, this old man would definitely scold you. However, it's different now. Even a martial art practitioner has his own feelings."
"If you're able to maintain absolute calmness even when your loved ones are in danger, then that sort of person is definitely cold and heartless. This old man would rather see you worry for your loved ones than to see you become such a heartless person."
Being affectionate and righteous was one of Ye Chen's great strengths, but it was also his greatest weakness.
In the past, because of this, Ye Chen had been in danger many times.
However, Ye Chen still had no regrets in his heart.
Just as Nie Zhen said, if a person didn't even have feelings, then what was the difference between him and a cold-blooded beast?
After that, Ye Chen and Nie Zhen rarely communicated with each other. Ye Chen used almost all his energy on the journey.
To cross the dark sea and rush to Huanghua Continent, an ordinary Saint Martial Artist would need at least a month. However, Ye Chen used less than three days to rush to Huanghua Continent at full speed.
After entering Huanghua Continent, Ye Chen's speed was several times faster than before.
The Divine Spirit Message Talisman Conference was a major event that had caused a stir in Huanghua Continent recently. Almost everyone knew the details of the conference. Ye Chen wasn't afraid of not being able to find the place. He randomly found a martial art practitioner and asked about the conference's location.
The location wasn't in Huanghua Mountain Range, but in the valley where Ye Chen and the others had been cultivating in seclusion.
This valley wasn't too big to begin with. Now, because of the Divine Spirit Message Talisman Conference, it was surrounded by countless experts. Those who were slightly weaker couldn't even enter the valley. They could only wait outside the valley and listen to others talk about what was happening inside.
Rumble!
While countless people were waiting, a huge shock wave suddenly rose in the valley. This shock wave was extremely strong. Even the ground outside the valley began to tremble, as if the entire land was about to collapse.
