Chapter 523: Soul Spirit Dao Pattern Shard

“Region Mistress Qing Yu? One of the fifteen martial experts?”
Jiang Yi frowned before inquiring gloomily, “What realm is the Region Mistress in?”
Tao Fei replied honestly, “My Lord, the fifteen Region Mistresses all possess the strength of eighth-stage Vajra Realm and above. Our Region Mistress Qing Yu has already reached the peak stage of Vajra Realm and is only half a step before she is able to break through to the Heaven Monarch Realm. However, because she cultivated by refining the Qing Clan Patriarch’s soul spirit dao pattern shard, the chances of her breaking through to the Heaven Monarch Realm had been greatly reduced. Of course, Region Mistress Qing Yu is only 23 years old. Therefore, if she were to come across a fortuitous encounter, there might still be a chance for her to break through to the Heaven Monarch Realm.”
“Peak stage of Vajra Realm? 23 years old?”
Jiang Yi was startled. Could there Vajra Realm martial expert everywhere in the Phoenix Cry Continent?
Jiang Bieli was known to be the number one genius of Stellarsky Continent. When he was 23 years old, he should still be in the peak stage Soul Travel Realm, right? Although Jiang Yi was only 18 years old and was already unrivaled in the Vajra Realm, it wasn’t considered as his true strength. It was due to the Massacre Intent and ghost flames.
“This isn’t right!”
He pondered for a few moments as traces of bewilderment swept past his eyes. He continued to inquire, “Cultivated by refining the Qing Clan Patriarch’s soul spirit dao pattern shard? What do you mean? Isn’t dao pattern supposed to be comprehended by oneself?”
It was very easy to cultivate the essence force. For those martial artists who possessed a heaven-defying aptitude and diligently cultivated in a cultivation artifact like the Thearch Palace, it would be easy for them to reach the Vajra Realm at around 20 years old. However, after reaching the Vajra Realm, they would have to comprehend the dao patterns in order to promote their strength and realm.
Heaven and earth dao patterns were the elaborate truth of heaven and earth. It was the law, quintessence, and origins of heaven and earth.
These dao patterns could only be grasped intuitively and not conveyed through words!
In the earlier days, He Lao had rejected Jiang Yi when he requested He Lao to teach him dao patterns. He told Jiang Yi that if this thing were taught, it could cause the learner to enter a wrong path; and they would never be able to comprehend the dao pattern anymore.
Now, Jiang Yi had heard a new statement. Refining the soul spirit dao pattern shard? The dao patterns could be refined? Wouldn’t that mean that they could create a batch of absolute experts?
“My Lord, it isn’t like what you think.”
Tao Fei could see the confusion Jiang Yi had. Therefore, she explained: “Other than our Phoenix Cry Continent’s experts, no one else would be able to refine these soul spirit dao pattern shards. These soul spirit shards contained the comprehension of dao patterns that were condensed through a large amount of magical power by our continent’s absolute experts, who were at their death door. It allowed their future generation to fuse together with these soul spirit shards and take reference of the dao patterns within it. However, these dao patterns weren’t comprehended by them but by their older generations. Therefore, the room for them to improve would be significantly reduced…”
“Now I see!”
Today, Jiang Yi had truly broadened his horizons. Nothing was too bizarre in this marvelous and diverse world. A senior near death was actually able to condense everything they had learned in their whole lifetime into soul spirit shards and hand it down to their future generations. The future generations would then be able to comprehend the dao patterns according to those soul spirit shards. This way, they would not deviate to a wrong path.
The meaning of realizations and comprehensions might only be slightly different. However, the discrepancy between them was like heaven and earth.
Realizations were something that could not be learned from others. It could only be gained through one’s understanding, fumbles, and exploration towards heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, comprehension could be learned through teachings. They could be learned according to the dao patterns contained within the soul spirit shards. Once it reached the phenomenal stage, it meant that they had fully comprehended the dao pattern. However, this meant that the learner would not have a full understanding of the dao pattern and would not genuinely appreciate the truth behind heaven and earth. This was similar to them learning the form but not knowing the spirit behind it!
Therefore, it was very hard for those who refined the soul spirit dao pattern shard to fuse additional dao patterns in the future, causing their breakthrough to the higher realms to be extremely difficult. Since they did not fully realize the quintessence behind this dao pattern, how were they going to fuse three different dao patterns together?
Jiang Yi finally figured out the reasoning behind it. However, the admiration he had for the Phoenix Cry Continent’s ancestors didn’t decrease.
Possessing the skill to condense soul spirit dao pattern shard might cause their future generations to be unable to stop improving, but it could at least help them to maintain their original realm. It would allow their clan to continue on for many generations and for their clans to maintain their prowess in the Phoenix Cry Continent.
Only by safeguarding the strength of a clan would they be able to occupy the countless amounts of resources. They would then be able to rely on these resources to nurture even more experts. Perhaps, an exceptional expert might be born in the future generations, and they might be able to break through to the Heaven Monarch Realm or even the realms higher than that.
“Did the other 14 martial experts also refined the dao pattern shards? Besides, didn’t you say that your Thearch was a Heaven Monarch? Did she also cultivate using this method?”
Jiang Yi continued to inquire. If they had all refined the soul spirit dao pattern shards, there was no need for him to be afraid of them. On the surface, they might have attained the strength of peak-stage Vajra Realm. However, their actual strength would at most be of the fifth stage of the Vajra Realm, right? Since they were unable to fully comprehend the dao pattern, how could they possibly release a formidable attack?
Tao Fei pondered for a moment before replying, “Only some of them did it. Among the 15 major clans, if there were descendants who could break through by themselves, they would never utilize the soul spirit dao pattern shard on them. Unless absolutely necessary would they allow their descendants to refine them because it was very difficult to condense these shards as it was possible for the condensation to fail. Meaning that every usage would cause a decrement in their spares.
“As for… our Thearch!”
Tao Fei eyes revealed traces of bewilderment before shaking her head, “Three years ago when the Thearch inherited the throne, it was reported that she had already reached the Heaven Monarch Realm long ago. However, other than the 15 martial experts, no one else had met her before. Rumor has it that the Thearch isn’t old and is only 20 years of age.”
“Damn!”
Jiang Yi contracted his eyes. Reaching the Heaven Monarch Realm at 20 years old? If she had relied on her abilities to reach that realm, Jiang Yi could just buy a piece of tofu and knock himself to death.
En. Let’s ignore the Thearch. I only wish to obtain the map to the East Imperial Continent! Let’s think of how we can take down Region Mistress Qing Yu.
Jiang Yi pondered inwardly and replied immediately after, “Where’s Region Mistress Qing Yu’s city located at? How many experts are there in the city? Does Region Mistress Qing Yu have any exceptionally powerful abilities?”
“Black Carp City is located at the east. It would take four days to rush there. The Qing Clan has a total of five people in the Vajra Realm. Two of them are at the peak stage. They have a hundred thousand Soul Travel Realm experts and a million soldiers. Our Region Mistress was famous for her bewitchment art. I have no idea if she has any other abilities.” Tao Fei had handed over her soul seal; she had devoted herself to Jiang Yi and no longer dared to conceal any more secrets.
“There are actually so many experts?”
Jiang Yi was startled. It seemed like the Demon Empress and Dugu Qiu was right. The Stellarsky Continent was just way too small. The number of experts in a Region Mistress’ city of the Phoenix Cry Continent was comparable to one-third of experts in the Stellarsky Continent.
Since the Stellarsky Continent is so small, why is this world called the Stellarsky Domain? Could the Stellarsky Continent be named after the Stellarsky Domain?
The doubts in Jiang Yi mind disappeared in a flash as he continued inquiring, “Bewitchment art? What kind of bewitchment? Is it be an ability that attacks one’s soul?”
“Not true, not true!”
Tao Fei explained, “Qing Clan’s Patriarch comprehended a type of heaven and earth soul spirit dao pattern. Therefore, this bewitchment art is not an ability but a dao pattern attack. This dao pattern attack is extremely terrifying. It is able to be released invisibly and could be used on anyone regardless of gender. The soul of the targeted person would enter a state of shock and would never know how they died…”
“Alright. I understood!”
Jiang Yi nodded his head and waved his hand, “Tao Fei, go and recuperate from your injuries first. Once you have recovered from your injuries, you will bring me to the Black Carp City. When I obtained the map of East Imperial Continent, I will set you free.”
Tao Fei complexion changed as she replied in fright, “I’m going to lead my Lord there? If Region Mistress were to know of this, I will definitely die after this.”
Jiang Yi showed a wicked yet charming smile as he replied faintly, “Do you have any other choice?”
