King of Creation-Chapter 683 - 674: Gen Earth Spirit Pearl

Heavenly Mechanism Locking Spirit Sword Formation, a Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Sword Skill, excels in trapping and wounding the enemy. If Vein Forging is successful, it can easily trap and kill martial artists of the same cultivation level, and even those of a higher level are not an issue.

Golden-Winged Nether Shadow, a Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Body Technique, is known for its speed without losing agility. With a single flap of the wings, it covers ten thousand meters and also includes a secretive escape technique. Once successfully cultivated, it can even develop saved-up hidden shadows.

Water Lotus Break, a Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Martial Skill, excels in offensive power. If Vein Forging is successful, Spiritual Power Water Lotuses emerge endlessly, combining into a thousand variations with boundless power. When driven by Water Spiritual Power, its force is at its strongest, usually injuring martial artists of the same level with a single move, and even those with a higher cultivation dare not withstand it directly.

Earth Primordial Divine Palm, a Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Martial Skill, is suitable for both offense and defense. When driven by Earth Element Spiritual Power, its power is at its greatest. Once mastered, the Divine Palm can be integrated into Palms Skill effortlessly, capable of both offense and defense, rarely matched by martial artists of the same level.

After reviewing seven Heavenly Level High Grade Secret Cultivation Technique Skills, Ye Zhen only chose these four.

Truthfully, Ye Zhen liked each of these Divine Power Martial Skills, each powerful and uniquely useful.

"Not bad, your eye for detail is impressive, worthy of being the top scorer at the Spirit Returning Assembly!" Zhu Ling praised as he looked at the first four selections Ye Zhen made, "The Heavenly Mechanism Locking Spirit Sword Formation, can trap and wound enemies, equivalent to also protecting oneself, very practical!"

"And the Golden-Winged Nether Shadow is the best Divine Power Body Technique stored within the Divine Sect, also the fastest. If you were to cultivate this Golden-Winged Nether Shadow, I’m afraid even the Vein Forging Realm martial artists at the Sixth and Seventh Stage couldn’t catch up to you!

And within short distances, even a Establishment Realm King can shake off! However, I don’t recommend you choose the Golden-Winged Nether Shadow!"

"Please enlighten me, Hall Master Zhu!" Ye Zhen looked towards Zhu Ling.

"Your cultivation is only at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm. Your first Divine Power Martial Skill should be of the offensive or defensive kind, not the speed type.

Speed type Divine Power Martial Skills, aside from escaping, don’t increase much combat power in the short term!"

Most of the time, only when cultivating to the Third or Fourth Vein Divine Skills do martial artists choose Divine Power Body Techniques! In my opinion, the most suitable for you would be this Heavenly Mechanism Locking Spirit Sword Formation!

Trapping enemies, wounding enemies, saving oneself, all ticked off, and if Vein Forging is successful, combat power can soar massively!

Of course, if prioritizing attack power, this Water Lotus Break is most suitable! As for Earth Primordial Divine Palm, I don’t recommend it for you, it’s too balanced in offense and defense," said Zhu Ling.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen nodded noncommittally. In his heart, he favored the Golden-Winged Nether Shadow and the Heavenly Mechanism Locking Spirit Sword Formation the most. These two skills were the most useful in combat, which was precisely what Ye Zhen was lacking at the moment.

And Zhu Ling was right, normally, when forging the First Vein Divine Power Martial Skill, one should not choose a Divine Power Body Technique.

The most suitable for him would indeed be the Heavenly Mechanism Locking Spirit Sword Formation, having all of trapping, wounding, and saving oneself.

But this was not Ye Zhen’s ideal choice.

Having embarked on the path of Martial Arts for so long, Ye Zhen had developed his own method for choosing martial skills.

Ye Zhen’s idea was that the most powerful martial skill is not necessarily the most suitable for him, but the one that best fits his own characteristics is the most appropriate.

At present, Ye Zhen only has four Innate Bloodlines, only able to forge four Divine Power Martial Skills, and unfortunately, two of those Innate Bloodlines were already occupied.

Thus, of the Innate Bloodlines left to Ye Zhen, only two remain.

Normally, a Vein Forging Realm martial artist needs at least two main offensive Divine Power Martial Skills, one defensive Divine Power Martial Skill, and one Body Technique Divine Power Martial Skill. This is the foundational requirement, but it needs four Innate Bloodlines, while Ye Zhen only has two.

Under this circumstance, Ye Zhen needed to make a choice.

Ye Zhen knew he couldn’t predict what Divine Power Martial Skills he might obtain in the future, but it was certain that during Vein Forging for the last Innate Bloodline, he would be extremely cautious.

Firstly, he discarded the Body Technique Divine Power Martial Skills, as Ye Zhen couldn’t afford such a luxury with the number of Innate Bloodlines he had, and he had obtained the Geomagnetic Field from the Mirage Dragon Pearl, which if cleverly used, was not inferior to top-tier Divine Power Body Techniques.

Under these conditions, reserving the last Innate Bloodline for flexibility, the third Innate Bloodline Ye Zhen had to choose was a well-rounded Divine Power Martial Skill.

In this regard, both Heavenly Mechanism Locking Spirit Sword Formation and Earth Primordial Divine Palm were viable options, though the Heavenly Mechanism Locking Spirit Sword Formation seemed more practical.

"Hall Master Zhu, I choose this one!" Instantly, Ye Zhen made a decision.

"Uh... why choose this one? Won’t you reconsider?" Seeing Ye Zhen’s choice, Zhu Ling was surprised.

Ye Zhen unexpectedly chose the Earth Primordial Divine Palm, which he had been most pessimistic about, even though he had already given his advice.

"No need to think it over, this one it is!" Ye Zhen’s tone was decisive.

This Earth Primordial Divine Palm truly balanced, offering both attack and defense indeed, which definitely was good, yet not outstanding. However, this was considering it against other Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Martial Skills.

If facing Heavenly Level Middle or Lower Grade Divine Power Martial Skills, the Earth Primordial Divine Palm absolute was a powerful weapon.

The most important factor was that this Earth Primordial Divine Palm suited Ye Zhen the best, because the Earth Primordial Divine Palm wielded immense power when prompted by Earth Element Spiritual Power.

And Ye Zhen, because of the Essence Spirit Pearl from the Goldback Stone Beast King, could control Earth Spiritual Power.

Ye Zhen believed that, combined with his ability to control Earth Spiritual Power, the Earth Primordial Divine Palm could unleash terrifying power.

Seeing Ye Zhen’s insistence, Zhu Ling said no more. He cast the Magic Formula to take out the Secret Manual that recorded the techniques of Earth Primordial Divine Palm. After making Ye Zhen take a Divine Soul Oath not to share it with anyone, he handed the Secret Manual to Ye Zhen.

"Ye Zhen, to forge the Earth Primordial Divine Palm, it requires a total of eight Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid in cultivation, and currently, the Divine Sect’s inventory only has six of them, lacking two essential materials!" Zhu Ling stated.

"Lacking two items?" Ye Zhen expressed surprise.

"Yes, for cultivating Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Ability Martial Techniques, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures needed often include one or two that are quite rare. Most of them are missing one, but this Earth Primordial Divine Palm lacks two!"

"Lacking two items, what do we do?"

"There are two methods, one is to wait!" Zhu Ling said.

"Wait? Wait for how long?"

"Since the Sect Hierarch promised to provide the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required for cultivating a Vital Vein Forging Divine Ability, he definitely won’t go back on his word! As soon as you chose the Earth Primordial Divine Palm today, I will issue orders to all the subdivisions to look for news and also issue a reward within the sect.

At the same time, once scouts and spies in various places find any news about the needed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they will immediately report back, and the Divine Sect will send people to collect them."

"As for how long it will take, it depends on luck. It could be as short as a few months, or as long as one to two, or even three to four years," Zhu Ling said.

"That long...."

"Is that considered long? Ye Zhen, you probably don’t realize, for most Martial Artists, the period to cultivate a Heavenly Level High Grade Divine Power Martial Technique is usually measured in decades. Even for Heavenly Level Middle Grade Divine Power Martial Techniques, it’s considered fast for an ordinary person to forge it in five or six years!

If you’re lucky, it might only take one to two years for yours, which would truly be swift!" Zhu Ling said.

"And the other method?" Ye Zhen asked.

"The other method is to look for them yourself! However, as soon as there’s news on the sect’s side, you will be immediately notified!" Zhu Ling said.

"Alright... Hall Master Zhu, could you please tell me what the two missing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are?"

Waiting passively wasn’t Ye Zhen’s style, he had already decided to look for them whenever he had time.

"The two missing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are ten pieces of High Grade Yellow Earth Spirit Crystal and one Gen Earth Spirit Pearl," Zhu Ling said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s heart stirred slightly, and he felt somewhat relieved.

Of the two missing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Ye Zhen was short of only one.

In Ye Zhen’s possession was a Supreme Yellow Earth Spirit Crystal, so these missing High Grade Yellow Earth Spirit Crystals were not a problem at all. The only thing lacking was the Gen Earth Spirit Pearl.

This Gen Earth Spirit Pearl was rather special; first, one must find a pure Earth Element Heavenly Level Demon Beast, slay it to obtain its Earth Element Demon Core.

After completely purifying the Earth Element Demon Core, one could obtain the Gen Earth Spirit Pill.

The difficulty lies in the purity.

There are many Earth Element Demon Beasts, but pure Earth Element Demon Beasts are extremely rare, and such beasts are usually very powerful.

Like the Goldback Stone Beast King Ye Zhen encountered in the Trial Secret Realm previously, it was a pure Earth Element Demon Beast, but both its Demon Core and its essence blood had already been transformed into an Essence Spirit Pearl.

"Hall Master Zhu, if there’s any information on a pure Earth Element Demon Beast, please inform me!" Ye Zhen said.

"Hehe, no need. If we find any information, the Divine Sect will immediately send someone to retrieve the Demon Core, and then commission someone to make the Gen Earth Spirit Pill. The rewards from the Sect Hierarch will definitely be substantial."

"Thank you very much!"

With a bow, Ye Zhen took his leave.

Ye Zhen had already decided that after spending some time in Immortal Realm Spiritual Veins for secret cultivation, he would set out to look for this Gen Earth Spirit Pearl.

However, before entering the Immortal Realm Spiritual Veins, he still needed to meet with Yangh Yiguan, the elder of the Beast Taming Sect. The matter concerning Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten could not be delayed!

Originally, Yangh Yiguan had included a Talisman Lead in his reward offer and upon leaving the Secret Codex Tower, Ye Zhen casually sent out a Talisman Communication.

....

Among the Qinglan Martial Artists, a Talisman Communication startled Yangh Yiguan, who was cultivating in a rented private residence, causing him to stand up abruptly.

"Is there news about the reward offer?"

Yangh Yiguan stroked his goat beard, an expression of mixed emotions on his face.

After a moment of contemplation, Yangh Yiguan sent out several Talisman Communications. Soon after, the ten or so disciples he had gathered over the years all arrived.

"Ma Yue, take your fellow disciples and head out to ambush at this location immediately, remember not to expose yourselves! I will follow soon after, and when the time comes, follow my command!" Yangh Yiguan instructed.

"Yes, Master!" Ma Yue turned and accepted the command, leaving swiftly, while Yangh Yiguan’s expression suddenly became intensely complex. (To be continued.
