Chapter 76: Refining the Spirit

  Yang Le slipped into the low and short rock house, in a bright and clean room, a newly washed and dressed white tender boy was sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly feeding a pale middle-aged woman lying on the bed with a thousand-year-old blood ginseng. Next to her was a four or five year old silver-haired little girl staring at everything with a worried look on her face.

  After feeding a small section of the thousand-year-old blood ginseng, the little boy carefully wrapped up the remaining half and looked at his little sister beside him. He opened the package again, pinched off a small piece and handed it to her: "Little sister, for you!"

  Little sister quickly shook her head and said in a childish voice, "No need to, brother. I'm not hungry. Let's leave it for mother instead. After I meditate for a bit, I won't be hungry anymore!"

  The little boy stuffed the small piece of Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng into the little girl's hand and said firmly, "You eat it quickly and refine it. This way, your cultivation can speed up, and with higher cultivation, you can save your mother. Besides, it won't be long before I can get paid in Spirit Stones at the Cui Dong shop, and then we can buy a lot of spiritual medicine."

  Little sister ate the small piece of Thousand Year Blood Ginseng in her hand and quickly sat down to refine it, with a hint of crystal clear water droplets flashing at the corner of her eyes.

  The little boy hid the package with more than half of the Millennium Blood Ginseng left, and sat cross-legged on one side to absorb the spiritual energy for cultivation.

  Yang Le hid beside, watching all this also had a feeling, and the two sensible boys and girls were also appreciated. He glanced at the middle-aged beauty lying on the bed with a pale complexion like an illness, and found that her soul was shrinking in the Mud Palace Pill, about to be extinguished, but her soul was severely damaged.

  In the following days, Yang Le hid himself to observe the two boys and the little girl. He was deeply moved by their affectionate relationship with each other. Yang Le made up his mind to give them a chance and change their fate.

  In this thirty-odd-zhang high rock house, there are more than a dozen rooms. The furniture and utensils in each room are also ordinary objects. The gate is cast from raw iron and has already become rusty. However, the backyard still has half an acre of empty space, which is planted with ordinary spiritual materials that are only about ten years old at most. Even outside the city, some ordinary forests and valleys are full of them, but those areas also have weak and small wild beasts coming and going, not to mention that he can't even enter the area where the heavenly materials are located.

  While paying attention to the siblings, Yang Le also wandered around in this vast city, often sitting in an inn tasting delicious food and listening to the words of seasoned adventurers from various towns, deducing information about the world of cultivators.

  The descendants of the Eastern Gods who live in the floating continent within this endless floating island, are also cultivators. Their wish is to become a Heavenly God, escape from this huge prison, pursue a higher realm, and enter a wider world.

  However, in this world composed of cultivators, all kinds of desires erupt, and countless cultivators are obsessed with power, beauty, and entanglements of favor and grudges, unable to extricate themselves.

  Although there is an iron law in this floating continent that prohibits the slaughter of cultivators, it only applies to major towns. Once outside the town, without the supervision of the gods and the aristocratic families, the wilderness is fraught with danger, and for the sake of grudges or treasures, it can be a bloody and ruthless place.

  This floating continent is called the Divine Forbidden World by these native cultivators, and it also means that the gale on the hundred million zhang high peak of the absolute wall around the Divine Forbidden World is not something that cultivators can break through, equivalent to imprisoning their freedom to explore the vast world. Inside the floating continent, there are no divine beings, but instead, branches of families formed by the descendants of the great divine families' cultivators rule this vast divine world.

  The most famous of these are the ten families of the Eastern Gods: the five families of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the Wind Tribe, the Sun Tribe, the Moon Tribe, the Thunder Tribe and the Frost Tribe.

  Not only these ten major families, but also some congenital demon god descendants' families have passed down branches, becoming a dominant force in this divine forbidden world.

  These large families in the Divine Forbidden World not only possess various top-level attribute gods and powerful divine artifacts passed down from above, but also have abundant cultivation resources. Their cultivation speed is unmatched, and almost every hundred years, each of these families has a cultivator who achieves divinity and flies out of the Divine Forbidden World to report back to their family headquarters.

  At the same time, Yang Le also learned that the strength of the cultivators in this Divine Forbidden World is divided into five major realms: Xiantian Realm, Yu Kong Realm, Shen Dong Realm, Shen Hun Realm, and Tong Shen Realm.

  The congenital realm is where the body has no acquired impurities, and the acquired is returned to the congenital. It initially communicates with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and practices the art of inhaling and exhaling. By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one can possess it, and their lifespan can reach up to 300 years. However, in the current Honghuang era, the congenital spiritual energy has not yet transformed into acquired spiritual energy. It can be said that as long as one is a spiritual being, they can all absorb and spit out congenital spiritual energy, achieving congenital cultivation, and their lifespan can reach up to 800 years.

  The Void Realm, cultivates the art of breathing and accumulating spiritual energy to transform into one's own primordial force, relying on a rich primordial force to fly, and lifespan increases by thousands of years.

  Divine Realm is to comprehend the application of divine power, transforming the body's yuan force into divine power. The level of divine power is one tier higher than yuan force, and its might is also vastly different, incomparable. Lifespan increases by ten thousand years.

  Divine Soul Realm, initially sensed a thread of law, condensed the soul into a divine soul. Not only is the power of the divine soul strong and not easily damaged, but each has various powerful uses and lethal forces, and its lifespan has surged to 80,000 to 90,000 years.

  Tong Shen Jing, can manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred or thousand miles for one's own use, with a mere hand gesture, mountains open and rocks split, only waiting for the leader to realize their unique law and merge with the divine soul to form a divine core to achieve the heavenly god.

  On this day, Yang Le arrived at the most famous Tai De Inn in Haowu City as usual to have a drink. In a table of five adventurers not far away, a thin and dark-faced young man said in a low voice: "You should have heard that the direct descendant of the Ge De family was killed in the皓雳 forest and the Ge De family's Sheng Shen Sheng Dian - Bao Chen Shen Jue was stolen. Recently, many adventurers have also left the city to find the stolen Bao Chen Shen Jue. It is said that the Ge De family is furious and has sent a Tong Shen realm elder to retrieve the Bao Chen Shen Jue. However, just now at the meeting, I found out that group of people."

  The slender young man finished speaking, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

  "Ge De family? That's a big family attached to the Lei family, dominating one of the 108 continents in the Divine Forbidden World, Dengfeng Continent. They're at least a second-rate family in the Divine Forbidden World, with divine nobles supporting them from above. The inherited divine art is probably top-notch. But if you get involved, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the Ge De family's wrath." A shrewd old man beside him hesitated and said.

  "Reliable, I overheard it from the trading gathering just now. Those people were also arguing over the sale of the divine artifact that killed the unfortunate descendant of the Ge De family, and they let it slip." The dark-skinned young man added.

  "What's there to fear? As long as we secretly deal with that group, hide and cultivate the Baochen Divine Decision, when we become a Heavenly God, we'll leave this Divine Forbidden World, and they won't be able to find us." A burly man shouted from the side.

  "Alright, let's do it!" A middle-aged man who rarely spoke also nodded in agreement.

  ……

  Yang Le heard all of this, but he didn't have any passion. This was enough to cause a bloody storm in the world of Shen Jin, but for Yang Le, it was nothing worth mentioning. After the five adventurers left, Yang Le continued eating at the Tai De Inn for another hour before heading towards the low and narrow rock house group on the outskirts of Hao Wu City.
