It sounded impossible to raise one's realm in one night.
Even Ye Chen himself didn't have much hope.
However, those Hero Spirits were full of confidence. They instructed Ye Chen to use the 30,000 Dark Soul Beads in his hand to set up a small Origin Formation on the ground.
"Ye Chen, judging from your aura, you're just a little bit away from breaking through your realm. As long as you break through this little bit, you'll be able to reach the Second Sky of the Divine Path. Although you've just broken through and your strength can't be compared to those experienced Second Sky of the Divine Path experts, your strength can at least reach the 15th level of the Fiendgod Battle Tower. At that time, it shouldn't be a problem for you to defeat the two weakest challengers," one of the Hero Spirits nagged at Ye Chen while helping him to set up the Origin Formation.
Ye Chen was able to reach the 10th level of the Fiendgod Battle Tower when he was at the First Sky of the Divine Path.
If he broke through to the Second Sky of the Divine Path, with his accumulation and foundation at the First Sky of the Divine Path, he could definitely raise his strength to the 15th level of the Fiendgod Battle Tower immediately.
This was the benefit of having a strong foundation. The stronger the foundation, the stronger the strength after breaking through the realm, and the greater the future achievements.
Therefore, there were many cultivators who could have broken through to the next realm, but chose to stay in the lower realm to temper their foundation.
"If I can have the strength of the 15th level of the Fiendgod Battle Tower, I can indeed fight with those challengers," Ye Chen muttered to himself.
Ye Chen was now ranked first among those at the First Sky of the Divine Path on the Eastern Region's Fengyun List.
Therefore, the weakest warriors who had the guts to challenge Ye Chen should be at the Second Sky of the Divine Path.
Even the warriors in the Ancestral Graveyard were mostly geniuses. However, when they were at the Second Sky of the Divine Path, their strength was generally at the 15th or 16th level of the Fiendgod Battle Tower.
Only a few extremely talented warriors could surpass this level and reach a higher level when they were at the Second Sky of the Divine Path.
Therefore, as long as Ye Chen could reach the fifteenth floor, he would be able to deal with the challengers on the first day.
But now, the crux of the matter was whether these thirty thousand Yin Soul Pearls could help Ye Chen increase his cultivation base.
In the Ancestor Graveyard, if a warrior in the First Sky of the Divine Path wanted to advance to the Second Sky of the Divine Path, he needed to sacrifice a total of one hundred thousand Nether Spirit Beads. The number of Nether Spirit Beads in Ye Chen's hands was still too little.
Therefore, Ye Chen was worried that these Dark Soul Pearls would not be able to increase his strength.
"Ye Chen, don't worry. Although the number of Dark Soul Pearls is a little small, your realm is already high enough. Just a little bit more and you'll be able to increase your realm.
Secondly, it's because of this secret chamber. Why do you think we asked you to come to this secret chamber made of Dark Crystal? It's because the effect of the sacrifice here is about three times better than outside. It's just right for you to increase your realm. "The Heroic Spirits could see that Ye Chen was worried, so they spoke one after another to comfort Ye Chen.
With the assurance of these Heroic Spirits, Ye Chen felt a lot more relaxed.
After six hours, Ye Chen finally placed all thirty thousand Yin Soul Pearls under his feet.
This small secret chamber was not big. The thirty thousand Yin Soul Pearls were densely packed on the ground, as if the ground was covered with a layer of Yin Soul Pearls.
According to the Heroic Spirits' instructions, Ye Chen placed his hands on the Yin Soul Pearls on the ground. A surge of Power of Law passed through his hands and instantly entered these Yin Soul Pearls.
Whoosh!
These Yin Soul Pearls absorbed the Power of Law that Ye Chen had sent out. With a whoosh, they all dissipated and turned into drops of water.
These drops of water flowed and filled the entire secret chamber that Ye Chen was in.
"Ye Chen, the sacrifice is about to begin. You need to calm yourself and adjust your state. Be prepared to break through to the next realm at any time." The Heroic Spirits in Ye Chen's mind also began to become nervous.
Buzz!
The liquid around Ye Chen began to violently shake. The liquid that the Yin Soul Pearls had turned into began to release a golden light, as if they were being absorbed by some unknown existence.
At the same time, a mighty power appeared out of thin air and poured into Ye Chen's body.
When this power entered Ye Chen's body, it immediately made Ye Chen feel his entire body become incomparably comfortable. Every inch of his flesh and blood seemed to cheer.
The increase in a martial artist's realm was the most fundamental improvement. Not only would a martial artist's physical body be strengthened, but even a martial artist's soul and Power of Law would also be strengthened.
It was because of this comprehensive improvement that a martial artist's strength would increase so dramatically every time they increased their realm.
Ye Chen did not immerse himself in this comfortable state for long. Instead, he immediately focused his mind and began to absorb this power. He wanted to raise his realm to the next level.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Ye Chen's body seemed to become a bottomless pit. He completely absorbed the power of the sacrifice.
The golden light in the secret chamber gradually dissipated. The liquid that the Yin Soul Pearls had turned into also completely disappeared.
Everything gradually returned to normal.
However, Ye Chen's body did not change at all.
"Impossible. Thirty thousand Yin Soul Pearls were sacrificed in this dark secret chamber. How could Ye Chen's realm not increase?"
"This is indeed strange. With such a powerful sacrificial power, no matter how low Ye Chen's realm is, he should be able to break through to the next realm with the support of this power."
"Could something have gone wrong? I never expected us old fellows to have a problem at this critical juncture. This is bad."
"This is bad. Ye Chen has not broken through to the next realm. What will he use to face the challengers tomorrow?"
…
In Ye Chen's mind, the Heroic Spirits were in an uproar. They all cried out in alarm.
These seniors and masters had put a lot of effort into nurturing Ye Chen. That was why they had come up with this plan of using challenges to earn Yin Soul Pearls.
However, they had never expected that the first step of their plan would have such a huge flaw.
Ye Chen's realm had not increased. When he faced the challengers tomorrow, he would likely be defeated.
Once Ye Chen was defeated, it was easy to imagine what would happen to him.
From this perspective, it could be said that these Heroic Spirits had screwed Ye Chen over.
When they thought of this, these Heroic Spirits became even more anxious. They could not help but shout and discuss with each other. They wanted to see what had gone wrong.
As the main character, Ye Chen, on the other hand, wasn't as anxious as those heroic spirits when his cultivation failed to increase.
These Heroic Spirits did not know why Ye Chen had not been able to increase his realm. However, Ye Chen himself was clear about it.
This was because his cultivation path was already different from ordinary martial artists.
When ordinary martial artists wanted to increase their realm, most of them comprehended laws and borrowed the power of laws to strengthen themselves.
However, Ye Chen was different. He cultivated the Immemorial Divine Pith Sutra. If he wanted to increase his realm, he could only increase the realm of the Immemorial Divine Pith Sutra.
The nine great realms of the Immemorial Divine Pith Sutra corresponded to the nine realms of the Divine Dao Realm.
At present, Ye Chen was at the First Firmament of the Divine Dao Realm, the Crimson Corundum Realm. If he wanted to increase to the Second Firmament of the Divine Dao Realm, he had to increase his realm of the Immemorial Divine Pith Sutra to the second level, the Luo Corundum Corundum Realm.
