Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 65 Is She Crazy?

Chen Ye has always considered himself lucky.

When I first arrived in this world, I was in dire straits and encountered setbacks at every turn.

However, since becoming a disciple of Mo Ci, everything has gone smoothly. Even when faced with danger, he always manages to turn misfortune into good fortune.

Perhaps this is what is meant by being favored by destiny.

Even before he had condensed his Qi Sea, Chen Ye had obtained two notebooks from Su Chunyi.

One book mentions the difference in the rotation direction of the Qi Sea, while the other takes a different approach, studying the uses of multiple Qi Seas.

After Chen Ye carefully studied the Six-Syllable Mantra, he was pleasantly surprised to find that many details in the practice corresponded and corroborated the two notebooks.

"The Qi Sea can be affected by mantras, causing it to rotate faster. However, improper cultivation can also damage the Qi Sea, leading to a decline in cultivation level instead of progress... When the Qi Sea is shattered, this specific method can be used to repair it, thereby avoiding further loss..."

Chen Ye carefully studied the "Six-Syllable Mantra" word by word, and a very bold and interesting idea for cultivation gradually emerged in his mind.

He decided to do the opposite, actively breaking through his own Qi Sea. Then, referring to the notes and the Six-Syllable Mantra, he tried to divide his Qi Sea into two or even three, to see if he could condense multiple Qi Seas within his body.

Such audacity! If Mo Ci were here, he would definitely give him a thorough dressing down.

The methods of cultivation have been limited since ancient times; they cannot be changed arbitrarily.

But Chen Ye felt he could afford to lose.

Firstly, both Master Mo Ci and the senior experts mentioned in the notes have mentioned that the cultivation of the Qi Sea Realm allows for repeated attempts.

Aside from being time-consuming, there are no other serious side effects.

Counting on his fingers, Chen Ye has only been at the Qi Sea Realm for half a month. Thinking about it this way, even if he encounters problems while risking cultivation, he can simply regress to the Spirit Awakening Realm. It would only be a waste of half a month, a loss that is not worth mentioning.

Secondly, Monk Fangyuan had reminded him that improper practice of the Six-Syllable Mantra could damage his Qi Sea, so Chen Ye decisively added Qi Condensation Pills to the materials he was exchanging.

For independent cultivators, the Qi Condensation Pill is quite expensive and considered a precious item, but for major sects, it's merely a basic pill. If something unexpected happens, they can simply take another pill and start over.

Of course, this is an ideal situation, and no one can guarantee that practicing in this way will not lead to other mistakes.

But Chen Ye just couldn't resist giving it a try.

If we follow the old ways in everything, how can we innovate and surpass those who have been there before?

Since there's a way out, there's no need to be afraid of taking risks.

Chen Ye grew bolder and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to figuring out the techniques.

This method of personally shattering and re-condensing one's Qi Sea is unprecedented, so it cannot be blindly copied. Instead, it should be redesigned based on these techniques and adjusted according to one's own situation.

Ultimately, the Qi Sea is actually a continuously rotating vortex of spiritual energy, its function being to attract and gather various kinds of spiritual energy that are floating in the world. Then, through high-speed rotation, it is compressed and purified within the body, allowing cultivators to use this purified spiritual energy to cast spells.

Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are the foundation of spiritual energy, just like the numbers one, two, three, four, and five; while the relationships of mutual generation and mutual restraint between metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are like addition and subtraction; the hexagrams of the I Ching and other hexagrams are similar to multiplication and division or more complex formulas.

Whether you are a high and mighty immortal or a fearsome demon lord, the casting of any spell cannot escape these basic rules.

Only by deeply understanding the essence can we further consider how to change the form of the Qi Sea while ensuring that its original efficacy is not affected.

Therefore, Chen Ye did not rush into trying it, but spent a lot of time writing densely packed deduction drafts.

A day and a night passed quietly until the next morning, when the faint morning light pierced through the hole and fell on Chen Ye's head. Only then did he stand up from the pile of papers.

Chen Ye leaned back slightly, raised his hands high, and stretched vigorously, making a series of crisp "crackling" sounds from his bones.

Even cultivators are a bit worn out after a night of hard work.

However, the night's study was not in vain. Chen Ye's new technique was progressing well, and he estimated that he would be able to figure out a rough form in a few days. He could try practicing it and then make adjustments.

After loosening his muscles, Chen Ye began to tidy up the messy drafts.

After everything was settled, he felt a pang of hunger in his stomach.

Before undergoing the Qi Refining Body, cultivators still need to follow the dietary rules of ordinary people, since spiritual energy cannot fully meet the body's daily needs.

After enduring a full day and night, the dry rations in his storage bag were utterly bland and tasteless. Chen Ye now only wanted a hot, flavorful meal to perk himself up.

This is also a good opportunity to travel around, see the Hundred Seas Valley, exchange ideas with other independent cultivators, and broaden one's horizons.

Chen Ye raised his hand and released the seal on the cave. With a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy, the barrier at the cave entrance slowly dissipated.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, Chen Ye's gaze was drawn to a strange sight not far away.

A brocade woven from flowing light floated leisurely in the air, its colorful rays shimmering and shimmering, a truly beautiful sight.

Filled with curiosity, Chen Ye quickly stepped forward to investigate.

Upon closer inspection, a line of elegant handwriting was written on the magnificent brocade: "Fellow Daoist, you are new here. If you have time, you may visit Wanfu Cave in the lower valley. Sincerely, Lü Fusheng."

This Lü Fusheng was quite enthusiastic.

Having met him before, Chen Ye thought he was a pretty good person.

Now is the perfect time to ask him to be my tour guide and get to know the environment of Baihai Valley.

But where exactly is Wanfu Cave in the lower valley?
Chen Ye pondered for a moment, then subconsciously reached out, wanting to take the beautiful brocade off.

However, the moment his hand touched the brocade, it slowly floated up, folded and deformed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a lifelike paper crane.

The paper crane fluttered its colorful wings, uttered a clear chirping sound, and then flew forward.

Chen Ye couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "It even has the effect of guiding people; this magic is quite ingenious."

Indeed, one should not underestimate the heroes of the world. Even a random cultivator guarding the gate has such abilities. Perhaps this Lü Fusheng's cultivation is even above mine.

Chen Ye followed the colorful paper crane, walked through a grove of trees, crossed two mountain streams, and saw many more amazing sights.

The interior of Baihai Valley seems to have been meticulously designed, truly offering a beautiful view at every turn, with seas of flowers, waterfalls, and green mountains—it's a feast for the eyes no matter how you look at it.

Occasionally, a ray of light could be seen flashing by in the distance, presumably the radiance of cultivators flying on their magical artifacts.

Compared to Cui County, the hustle and bustle of the human world is ultimately too superficial; Baihai Valley is the true fairyland.

Chen Ye sighed, "I wonder what major sects like the Qinghe Sword Sect and the Fenxiang Sect are like. I really want to visit them sometime."

Just as he finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind him: "There's not much difference, at most it's just bigger and more spacious. Hundred Seas Valley is concealed by an array, and the inner caves are layered. It doesn't look big from a distance, but once you step inside, it becomes much more expansive."

Chen Ye turned around and saw the Incense Burning Sect disciple, whom he had met once yesterday but had not spoken to, standing behind him.

Chen Ye had no idea when this person had arrived.

The female cultivator Chen Ye had only met two people: Su Chunyi and the person in front of her.

However, the two women have completely different temperaments. Su Chunyi is like a clear spring; although she may seem a bit cold, she is crystal clear and makes you want to hold her in your hands and taste her. She is consistent inside and out, revealing her thoughts and feelings without reservation.

But the woman in front of him was different. Chen Ye felt that she was a stone and could not see any emotions.

Chen Ye couldn't help but say, "Young lady, I'd like to ask, do you righteous disciples really enjoy appearing behind others?"

Mo Suixin said indifferently, "It's just a coincidence. But from what you've said, have you done something wrong that you're afraid of being seen by righteous disciples?"

Chen Ye chuckled and said without any attempt to hide it, "That's right, I've done a lot of bad things."

Yesterday we almost broke off relations with Wei Changsheng, so there's no need to be too polite to this girl from the Incense Burning Sect.

Mo Suixin was surprised by Chen Ye's answer and couldn't help but whisper, "He's wrong again. One of the three divinations today is wrong."

Chen Ye didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

Mo Suixin shook his head and said, "It's just self-reflection."

Chen Ye: ...

Is this girl out of her mind? Did she mess up her cultivation and damage her soul?

Just as he was about to ignore her, Mo Suixin said again, "Fellow Daoist Chen, would you like to buy me a drink?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye looked at her in shock for a few moments, then decisively turned and ran away.

This girl isn't just suspected of having a problem, she definitely has a problem!

Mo Suixin frowned as she watched Chen Ye's departing figure, muttering to herself, "The second divination was wrong again? But this third divination is an extremely ominous one, a sign that certain death."
