Chapter 737: Chapter 163 Rebuilding Bones, Tai Chu Heavenly Tribulation [2]
"Fine, fine... I’ll keep quiet, but don’t worry. If you feel uncertain now, then don’t proceed with the Soul Slash, it’s an extremely painful process after all," Xiao Fei said softly, sighing lightly with a sympathetic look towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan sighed softly as well but said nothing.
However, he thought to himself: Since Xiao Wanting has secretly entrusted me with ’educating’ you, I’ll show you that men are not inferior to the Lei Yan King, I am even better. If you find me, a man ’feminized’ to your eyes, to be exceptional, perhaps you won’t despise other men anymore?
With these thoughts, Zhou Yan felt less depressed. He began to treat Xiao Fei as a patient, and that indeed made him feel much better instantly.
"Xiao Fei, Mystic-level, have you broken through the limit of Forty-Nine in combat power? They all refer to you as ’Mystic-level.’ Does that mean, if you were at the Sword God Fifth Transition realm, you could contend with a strong person at the Sword God Nine Transitions realm?"
Zhou Yan shifted the conversation.
He already knew about the division of combat power in the upper-class plane, but it was precisely because of this that Zhou Yan found Xiao Fei’s combat power to be terrifying. If the upper plane’s combat capability was like this, it would be extremely fearsome.
"Of course, it’s not like that. In fact, the phrases ’Double Ninth True Man, Three Nines Spiritualist, Four Nines Mystic’ refer to the differences in breaking through one, two, or three levels. Double Ninth combat power means surpassing one major realm. After all, there are nine stages in a major realm. For example, if a cultivator at Sword God First Transition can fight at the Second Transition, that’s Double Ninth, or breaking through one level; if Sword God First Transition can fight at the Third Transition realm, that’s Spiritualist-level, breaking through two levels; I am called ’Mystic’ because I can fight across three realms, from Sword God First Transition against the Fourth Transition."
"Each level’s cultivators are mostly divided into strong and weak. However, everyone is used to this division, so there’s no strict stipulation. Moreover, most cultivators care about their dignity and face. For instance, a Spiritualist-level genius close to the Mystic-level dislikes being called ’Spiritualist’ and prefers being called ’Mystic.’ Thus, many ’Mystics’ often don’t live up to their names and aren’t as extraordinary as you think. Of course, even the most inflated and watered-down Mystic is much stronger than you, so when you see them, it’s best you keep your distance to avoid accidentally being involved and perishing."
Xiao Fei explained earnestly.
She was very enthusiastic and meticulous in answering Zhou Yan’s questions.
"I see."
Zhou Yan suddenly understood, and combining the memories and knowledge he had from the Lei Yan King about these matters, he felt that his understanding of the upper-class plane was beginning to be well-rounded.
The growth of the Lei Yan King was simply too rapid, and moreover, he spent nearly six months of the ten years entwined with Mu Qingyan, the rest of the time was in a cycle of devouring, rapidly evolving, and slaughtering. The knowledge he had was truly lacking.
Not only that, but before becoming the Lei Yan King, he was a fool with a lack of intelligence, living in the lower-class world of the Prison Plane; his access to knowledge was pitifully scarce.
As a result, Zhou Yan even now constantly needed to acquire certain knowledge systems to resolve his cultivation confusions.
Now, understanding the specific differences in realm distinctions, Zhou Yan felt his doubts clear up and began to concentrate and hold his breath, subsequently setting up a simple Tai Chu Rune Ancient Array in this space of Heaven and Earth.
Zhou Yan’s hand seals were incredibly fast, and in an instant, a small Array formed, enveloping both Zhou Yan and Xiao Fei within it.
Xiao Fei, somewhat amazed, watched Zhou Yan. It seemed so ’defying’ that Zhou Yan could lay out an Array with Tai Chu Runes at such a quick pace?
Xiao Fei thought to herself: Why didn’t the Palace Master tell me he had such talent in Arrays? That’s right, he was adopted by the Master’s best sister and grew up alongside the Master’s good sister, so he must certainly have various exceptional methods. The Master is so formidable; how could her sister be any less?
Xiao Fei scoffed to herself, yet she never thought to doubt her own Master.
"Judging by this alone, it seems you have some ability, not as incapable as the Palace Master mentioned. It seems he indeed has mastered over eighty percent of the Tai Chu Runes. The Tai Chu Runes are so abstruse and difficult; I didn’t expect you to master so many, you’re not entirely useless after all."
Despite not having any doubts, Xiao Fei subconsciously thought this way.
Zhou Yan casually laid down the Tai Chu Rune Ancient Array, and in this ancient glacier, the effectiveness of the Array was much improved, doubling its power and effectiveness several times over, which surprised Zhou Yan a little.
He did not expect that under the aura of Taichu, the Tai Chu Rune Ancient Array would have such an effect.
Inspired by this, Zhou Yan pondered: If the severed Soul also contained the ancient meaning of the Tai Chu Runes and carried the aura of the Taichu era, what would happen in the face of the Tai Chu Heavenly Tribulation?
With this idea in mind, Zhou Yan stood up and summoned the Sword Soul.
The Sword Soul was a Soul Sword form of the merger of the Twelve Sword Souls. The Twelve Sword Souls formed the Twelve Souls Sword as one entity, with the Soul Sword adorned with Rune patterns of various primeval beast soul imprints, rich and splendid.
