Chapter 342
Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor
Ye Yuan already laid his foundation extremely solid during the Spirit Condensation Realm. Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm now was something that happened without effort.
Sometimes, breaking through realms also needed to be done in a single vigorous effort. Being overly cautious would adversely affect the success rate of breaking through instead.
When Ye Yuan broke through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he already accumulated this momentum to the peak condition.
Choosing to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm right now was the best option!
Nine-nine, 1 81 spirit liquid drops seethed inside Ye Yuan’s dantian. Ye Yuan’s aura rose continuously without pause!
Under the guidance of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, these nine-nine, 81 spirit liquid drops, actually started revolving in high speed inside Ye Yuan’s dantian!
At this time, Ye Yuan did not compress the spirit liquid within his dantian but circulated these spirit liquid to let them swim inside his meridians!
The revolving spirit liquid gradually formed a vortex. The more it revolved, the faster it went! The more it revolved, the lesser it became!
That vortex shrunk at a speed discernible to the naked eye. All the spirit liquid transformed into essence energy inside Ye Yuan’s body and begun circulating.
Finally, that vortex shrunk to the limit, virtually disappearing.
“Nine-nine return to one! Condense!” Ye Yuan howled.
An extremely soft splitting sound seemed to have come from inside the dantian.
Looking over closely, Ye Yuan’s dantian actually had an additional extremely tiny crystal. And that crystal was still revolving at high speeds.
Right at this moment, the essence energy within Ye Yuan’s body just happened to finish circulating one complete cycle, returning to the dantian once more.
When the essence energy returned to the dantian, it was immediately drawn in by the crystal, circling one round around the crystal before flowing towards the meridians once again.
And at this time, that tiny crystal expanded by a bit!
“This brat, such a large commotion breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm?” Wei Xiao involuntarily furrowed his brows.
The essence energy inside the array formation poured into Ye Yuan’s body crazily, but Ye Yuan took it all in.
The essence energy was like floodwaters that opened the gate, filling Wei Xiao who was watching with apprehension.
Ye Yuan’s body was akin to a bottomless pit. No matter how the floodwater poured in, it could not be filled!
81 spirit liquid drops forming a crystal had probably never appeared before in the Endless World’s history. Therefore, Ye Yuan’s upheaval when breaking through appeared tpp outrageous in Wei Xiao’s eyes.
The frenzied essence energy kept circulating a great circulatory cycle inside Ye Yuan’s body without stopping. That small crystal was also expanding continuously.
Finally, after orbiting nine-nine, 81 great circulatory cycles, Ye Yuan’s aura withdrew abruptly, ceasing the frenzied absorption of essence energy.
And presently, a pale yellow crystal suspended peacefully in the center of his dantian.
Ye Yuan finally broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm!
Wei Xiao’s gaze grew intent, but he heaved a long sigh and muttered to himself,“Heh, this brat really succeeded! Seriously reckless!”
Ye Yuan also breathed a slow breath of turbid air but did not ease up.
To other martial artists, divine soul transformation was a very relaxed step. But to him, this was a deadly step!
Before long, the essence energy which had just calmed down became agitated again.
Ye Yuan’s mind suddenly burst in pain. The torment of the divine soul ripping apart came once again!
This sort of perverse transformation manner really made Ye Yuan feel like going crazy.
He knew that this kind of transformation was because of those golden texts inside his sea of consciousness. He also knew that he would obtain even greater benefits from such a transformation.
But the anguish experienced during this process was unimaginable by ordinary people!
This time, Ye Yuan was mentally prepared long ago. Clenching his teeth tightly, his pair of fists also balled up tightly.
Even so, a series of muffled groans was still emitted from his throat.
Right at this moment, that black bead which had been lying quietly inside Ye Yuan’s sea of consciousness the entire time stirred!
The black bead quivered slightly and actually shook off some black powder.
When the black powder fell off, it instantly vanished.
Immediately after, Ye Yuan felt a trace of cool refreshingness coming from within his sea of consciousness. His head which initially felt like it was exploding actually did not ache anymore!
However, Ye Yuan could clearly sense that his divine soul was still being ripped apart.
The present Ye Yuan was like a spectator observing his own divine soul being torn bit by bit coldly.
Finally, those golden characters moved out!
These golden characters were like exquisite tailors, sewing up Ye Yuan’s shredded divine soul again. But there were no fissures at all!
“Huuuu . . .”
Ye Yuan spat out a long breath of turbid air. The divine soul transformation finally ended!
“What in the world is that black bead, to actually have such miraculous effects?”
As a Divine Realm’s pinnacle existence once, Ye Yuan actually had not heard of such a miraculous black bead before. It was clear that its origins were absolutely extraordinary!
It was just that from the surface, he simply could not tell this black bead’s value. It also did not have any unusual aspects.
If it were not sucked inside his sea of consciousness by the golden characters, he would probably have treated it the same as garbage and threw it aside, right?
Sensing the power belonging to Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, Ye Yuan felt like he was brimming with strength!
The crystal within Ye Yuan’s dantian was formed by the condensation of nine-nine, 81 drops of spirit liquid. The quality was much higher than the average First Level Crystal Formation Realm.
Disregarding all else, just talking about essence energy, Ye Yuan’s current First Level Crystal Formation Realm was not in any way weaker than the average Third Level Crystal Formation Realm!
When Wei Xiao saw Ye Yuan walk straight out of the hidden room, he could not help being stunned.
“Why did you come out so soon? You just broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm. Aren’t you going to consolidate your realm?” Wei Xiao asked puzzledly.
Most people would have to enter closed-seclusion for a period of time after newly breaking through realms to consolidate their realm. Who would exit seclusion directly like Ye Yuan?
“No need. Old Wei, thank you for your care these two days, but I’m still worried about my fellow apprentices, so I’ll bid my farewell here. No matter what, I have to confirm their life and death!” Ye Yuan said.
Wei Xiao said, “I can understand your feelings. But even if you broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, leaving also can’t change anything, right? In my opinion, you should stay here to raise your cultivation well, and leave after reaching the Soul Sea Realm. Only this way will you have the strength for self-preservation in the war between two worlds!”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “The Six Extreme Seals is unbelievably powerful. It can only be damaged further from Endless World’s side. But even if the seal was destroyed right now, the Fierce Gale World would not be able to launch a massive attack for some time too. Even if my fellow apprentices are no longer around, I also have to hurry back to the sect. I don’t wish for my friends to meet with any mishap!”
Wei Xiao sighed and said, “Since your mind i
s made up, I won’t hold you anymore. But since the passageway between the two worlds is already linked together, you have to take care of yourself after leaving.”
Finished talking, Wei Xiao brought Ye Yuan to a transmission array.
Ye Yuan bowed deeply in Wei Xiao’s direction and said his goodbyes, “Take care, Old Wei!”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan stepped into the transmission array.
Ye Yuan’s eyes blurred, and when he reappeared, he returned to the second level of the Eternal Splendor Palace again!
Currently, the Eternal Splendor Palace was devoid of people, looking rather bleak.
Ye Yuan did not hesitate and walked directly towards the direction of the exit.
Ye Yuan was just about to go down one level when alarm bells suddenly sounded. A silhouette leaped out from the side. Who could it be but Lan Feng who was guarding here?
“You finally came out! I’ve waited for you for very long!”

“Mm? Having not seen you for a few days, you actually broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm already!”
Sensing the aura coming off of Ye Yuan’s body, Lan Feng felt rather surprised.
But it was merely just a little surprised. The strength of a First Level Crystal Formation Realm was inadequate to make him take it to heart.
What made Lan Feng truly wary was still those puppets. But he also figured out his plan too. As long as he did not enter the array formation, Ye Yuan would not be able to do anything to him.
But when Ye Yuan saw Lan Feng, he grinned instead and said, “Your gall really isn’t small. To actually dare block me here alone.”
“Doesn’t matter. I’ve already asked my comrades for help. I just have to persevere until they arrive here! Although those puppets of yours are impressive, you’re still not qualified to defeat me quickly!” Lan Feng said derisively.
Fierce Gale World martial artists advocated personal martial force most of all and disliked assistance from external items. They were very disdainful of Ye Yuan’s methods.
Lan Feng hoped to see a panicky expression on Ye Yuan’s face, but he was disappointed.
Not only was there not a trace of panic to be seen on his face, but Ye Yuan was also so composed that it made him a little flustered.
Freaking absurd! Lan Feng cursed inwardly.
“That’s also to say that as long as I finish you off before your comrades arrive, then it’s all good?” Ye Yuan said with a grin.
“Harrumph! Wild arrogance!” Lan Feng was furious when he heard that.
“Enough crap. Come on!” Ye Yuan extended a hand. Canghua Sword appeared in his hand.
But Lan Feng did not make a move. He was afraid that Ye Yuan would suddenly release the sword puppets. Once he fell into the array formation, it would not be easy for him to want to free himself.
This Lan Feng looked like he had a straightforward personality at first glance, but it did not mean that he was dumb.
The anxious one right now was Ye Yuan, not him. He just had to waste time.
And this was also all taught to him by Big Brother Lan Bao.
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, “You’re not coming? Then I’m coming!”
Ye Yuan wielded his sword and pointed at Lan Feng. Exquisite flower petals started appearing in the air!
Seeing this scene, Lan Feng’s complexion changed drastically!
This fellow was actually able to maneuver heaven and earth essence energy!
He thought that what Ye Yuan was relying on were the sword puppets. He never thought that he still had such a fierce move!
But the problem was that Ye Yuan was still only at the Crystal Formation Realm. How did he do it?
But there was already no more time for him to think. If he pondered anymore, he was going to die!
After breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm, Ye Yuan’s perception and affinity toward heaven and earth essence energy went up by a huge step. Executing Thousand Flowing Petals again was no longer as demanding as it was before at the Spirit Condensation Realm. The speed of execution naturally also sped up considerably.
The Lan clan brothers were all the same type, exceptional speed and formidable fist strength.
Only to see Lan Feng tap his feet and his figure moved explosively, shooting towards Ye Yuan.
A cluster of flower petals blocked in front of Lan Feng like it floated along with the wind.
Lan Feng clenched his jaws. “Break for me!”
A fist smashed out. Essence energy surged, and an exploding noise actually sounded!
The fist without any ostentatiousness was a fist with a crushing force that overwhelmed all!
Lan Feng belonged to those type who were extremely powerful in close-combat. He did not mobilize large amounts of heaven and earth essence energy to face his opponents like Ye Yuan, but would condense heaven and earth essence energy onto his own fist to wield it as he pleased!
This kind of brandishing method could muster heaven and earth essence energy the fastest and augment the might of his fist art to the maximum degree!
In mid-air, Lan Feng’s fist collided with that cluster of flower petals!
There was no intense impact sound.
That cluster of flower petals slowly melted, finally vanishing. But Lan Feng’s fist force was already totally crumbled by Ye Yuan!
Lan Feng was so greatly frightened that he turned pale. “How is that possible? You’re only at the Crystal Formation Realm! How can you be so proficient in the usage of heaven and earth essence energy?!”
The reason why Lan Feng was astonished was because that clump of flower petals was not Ye Yuan’s full strength, but it was only a small tuft of the flower petals that Ye Yuan condensed!
And this small cluster of flower petals was just enough to neutralize the fist force that Lan Feng invoked!
Just how accurately did he grasp it?!
It was as if Ye Yuan saw through it with one glance how much heaven and earth essence energy this fist of Lan Feng had amassed!
Something that even he, this Sea Transformation Realm, could not do, but a First Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist could accomplish. How could Lan Feng not be astounded?
For close-combat type martial artists like Lan Feng, the most important thing was momentum.
And presently, he was completely unable to gather his own momentum. Ye Yuan would not give him the opportunity to accumulate any momentum!
Ye Yuan did not pay attention to Lan Feng’s astonishment. All of his energy were placed on manipulating the Thousand Flowing Petals.
Although he had already broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm, maneuvering heaven and earth essence energy was something that only martial artists at the Sea Transformation Realm and above could accomplish.
Accurately speaking, only Soul Sea Realm martial artists could control heaven and earth essence energy as they wished!
Sea Transformation Realms merely understood some superficial knowledge.
Hence, manipulating Thousand Flowing Petals was still something tremendously difficult for Ye Yuan.
It was just that compared to while being at the Spirit Condensation Realm, it was way easier now.
Presently, a circumference of a hundred feet was already flooded with countless flower petals. Ye Yuan naturally would not give Lan Feng any chance at all!
He moved another small cluster of flower petals which churned towards Lan Feng. Lan Feng’s expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Humph! So what if you can mobilize heaven and earth essence energy? How can I lose to a puny little Crystal Formation Realm martial artist? Torrential Pear Blossom Fist! Break for me!”
All of a sudden, Lan Feng’s aura skyrocketed. A colossal aura swept away those flower petals.
This was the true strength of a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!
Only to see Lan Feng’s fist shadows cascade forth, negating Ye Yua
n’s attack one after another.
It was seemingly as if no matter how many flower petal attacks Ye Yuan mustered, they were unable to breach Lan Feng’s defense!
Yes. After Lan Feng’s aura skyrocketed, he did not attack but defended passively!
Because his surroundings were already jam-packed with flower petals. Even if he unleashed the full strength of Sea Transformation Realm, he would have no way of getting through these flower petals either!
As a close-combat martial artist, he already lost the only chance to approach Ye Yuan!
With his speed, if he struck first to gain the initiative, Ye Yuan’s Thousand Flowing Petals would not have succeeded in launching so smoothly.
But sadly, Lan Feng was cautious in taking action and did not attack first. By the time he felt that something was not right, there was already no chance left!
Now, he could only take a beating passively!
Ye Yuan’s Thousand Flowing Petals was not some ordinary martial technique, but it was a supreme true intent’s sword move!
When Ye Yuan was at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he could already use this move to injure the Sea Transformation Realm Yao Qian. One could imagine just how powerful the attack of this sword move was!
Now that Ye Yuan already advanced an entire major realm, the might when displayed again could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.
Even the formidable Lan Feng could only avoid contact when facing the Thousand Flowing Petals!
Those withering flower petals looked like they were harmless to humans and animals, but in truth, killing intent was concealed!
What Lan Feng could rely on presently was his thick essence energy!
As long as he could persist until Ye Yuan’s essence energy ran out, he would have the chance to kill Ye Yuan.
Lan Feng’s Torrential Pear Blossom Fist danced flawlessly. However . . . there was not a wall without a crack in this world and also no absolute defense.
No matter how fast his fists were, it was also not possible to defend everywhere!
One had to know that the Thousand Flowing Petals was not a straightforward attack, but flower petals that could flutter.
