742: Chapter 738: Progress 742: Chapter 738: Progress Four people were all carefully experiencing the process, and Ye Tian didn’t dare to neglect it, either.
He sat cross-legged and started to operate the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique within his body…
Just like when he had operated the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique in the dark underground river, Ye Tian felt a continuous flow of power entering his body from the pieces of the Spirit Vein Stone!
Unfortunately, fragments were still fragments, compared to the main body of the Spirit Vein Stone.
At this moment, the power Ye Tian was absorbing was much less than what he had absorbed while meditating in the underground river.
But that was also a necessary compromise.
The power contained within the Spirit Vein Stone was enormous, and with Ye Tian’s abilities, he simply couldn’t move the Spirit Vein Stone nor could he destroy it.
He could only use the Ice Heart Awl and take back a small piece of the Spirit Vein Stone…
With the decisive battle against Sima Feng imminent, Ye Tian couldn’t afford to be careless.
Even though the power absorbed wasn’t as strong as in the underground river, Ye Tian focused his mind and carefully operated the power of the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique within his body.
After circulating it for one complete cycle, Ye Tian suddenly felt refreshed and energetic.
He stretched lazily and stood up.
Looking at Ye Xuong and the Ding brothers, although they weren’t as proficient as him, all four seemed to have grasped some tricks, which was evident from the expressions on their faces!
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
Ye Tian was attentively watching Ye Xuong and the Ding brothers when suddenly two voices rang out beside him.
Turning his head, he saw the Vampire Dracula and Black Widow Alice standing next to him.
Both were sweating profusely and looked distressed.
It seemed they had endured quite a bit of suffering while practicing the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique…
Though slightly tired, Dracula and Black Widow appeared very happy.
After all, practicing a cultivation technique like the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique that could enhance their strength made the hardships they endured negligible.
“Dracula, Black Widow, how is your practice going?”
Ye Tian asked with concern, and in his presence, Dracula and Black Widow naturally couldn’t keep any secrets.
Dracula replied directly, “Boss, I originally thought that with my talents, I could easily master the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique, but to my surprise, this technique is so difficult to practice.
Many times, it goes against the normal circulation of qi, causing me unbearable pain throughout my body!
But luckily, once I overcame the initial barrier, practicing became much easier.
Although I have not yet fully mastered the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique, I can now faintly sense the surrounding force of nature!”
Black Widow also said, “Boss, my situation is similar to Dracula’s!
Being a woman, and due to the different physical structures, the pain I endured while practicing the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique might have been even greater than Dracula’s!
The operation of the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique is bizarre and unlike any other cultivation technique I’ve studied before.
My body felt like it was tearing apart while practicing it!
Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and pushed through every painful moment, and after circulating the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique once through my body, it became less difficult with each subsequent cycle!”
“Hmm!
Very good!”
The talents of Dracula and Black Widow were indeed commendable; despite facing difficulties during their practice, they pushed through and eventually overcame the challenges.
“Dracula, Black Widow, now tell me, how long exactly will it take for the two of you to fully master the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique?”
Ye Tian asked again, and both Dracula and Black Widow confidently replied in unison—
“Three days!”
Their estimate was exactly the same as Ye Xuong’s, their talents were good, and they only needed three days to fully integrate the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique!
Ye Tian nodded and said, “Dracula, Black Widow, I was not mistaken about you!
However, merely introducing the force of nature into your bodies is no reason to be proud!
Look, what are those four doing?”
Saying this, Ye Tian pointed towards Ye Xuong and the Ding brothers, who were meditating on the lawn, and Dracula and Black Widow then noticed something odd about the four’s behavior…
Dracula exclaimed in surprise, “Aren’t they supposed to be our protectors?
Why have they started practicing as well?”
Black Widow also commented with a laugh, “Could it be that the Ding brothers also want to practice the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique?”
“No, Dracula, Black Widow!” Ye Tian dispelled their guesses, and said, “Can’t you two feel the power permeating the air?”
Upon Ye Tian’s reminder, Dracula and Black Widow then focused and began to carefully sense their surroundings.
“There really is a powerful force!
A force so strong it’s suffocating!”
“Boss, this power, it’s somewhat similar to the power you used when you competed with Mr.
Zhang, could it be…”
A hint was all that was needed; with just a slight prompt from Ye Tian, Dracula and Black Widow could sense the power in the air and even guessed where this power was coming from.
“Very well!
Dracula, Black Widow, your insight is commendable!
Indeed, this power comes from the Spirit Vein beneath Jiang City!”
Ye Tian didn’t go into too much detail about the Spirit Vein beneath Jiang City, choosing to discuss only the most essential aspects!
“Our Night King Hall’s feud with the Sima Family has grown quite deep.
Moreover, the Sima Family’s actions are extremely cruel.
Sooner or later, Night King Hall will go to war with the Sima Family.
Therefore, in seven days, Night King Hall will come in full strength and crush the Sima Family’s main house!”
“Go to war with the Sima Family?”
“Really?”
Even masters like Dracula and the Black Widow felt a shiver down their spine at Ye Tian’s words.
Dracula and the Black Widow, both having seen the prowess of the puppets, knew that Sima Feng, the puppet’s controller, was among the strongest.
Going head-to-head with the Sima Family was undoubtedly extremely perilous!
Ye Tian then added, “It’s precisely because the enemy is so powerful, that Night King Hall needs your strength more than ever!
Within three days, master the Mysterious Cloud Cultivation Technique.
This is nothing to boast about.
What’s most important, after you have fully cultivated the Mysterious Cloud Cultivation Technique, you both must try your utmost to absorb the power of the Spirit Vein, just like Ye Xuong and the Ding brothers, understood?”
“Yes, Commander!”
Dracula and the Black Widow said in unison, both feeling the weight of responsibility on their shoulders.
In this competition with the Sima Family, the strength of every martial artist in Night King Hall was indispensable!
Under Ye Tian’s encouragement, Dracula and the Black Widow continued to cultivate the Mysterious Cloud Cultivation Technique, while Ye Tian himself sat quietly, meditating and absorbing the power of the Spirit Vein Stone fragments…
Everyone in the backyard was engrossed in their cultivation, no longer worrying about anything else…
Due to time constraints, Ye Tian had been unable to return home, so he had simply sent a brief message to Yun Xinyan.
Yun Xinyan as well, understanding the situation, didn’t ask for more details.
She just urged Ye Tian to focus on his own matters and not to be distracted by her…
Time passed quickly, and three days soon went by!
Over these three days, Dracula and the Black Widow finally succeeded in mastering the Mysterious Cloud Cultivation Technique.
However, they could not be complacent, as their power was just at the introductory level of the Mysterious Cloud Cultivation Technique.
To defeat the Sima Family, they still needed to absorb the power contained in the Spirit Vein Stones.
Dracula and the Black Widow had just begun to absorb the fragments of the Spirit Vein Stones, whereas Ye Xuong and the Ding brothers had already been absorbing for three days.
Although they didn’t master the technique initially, as time went by, the four eventually started to slowly absorb the power hidden within the fragments of the Spirit Vein Stones into their bodies!
The Spirit Vein Stone, formed from the world’s natural energy deposits beneath Jiang City, appeared to be endless, though Ye Tian had only brought back a few fragments.
Ye Xuong, the Ding brothers, Ye Tian, absorbed power continuously from the fragments of the Spirit Vein Stones, but the power flowed endlessly, powerfully and magnificently.
The power showed no signs of depleting!
Even when Dracula and the Black Widow joined them later, the power from the fragments of the Spirit Vein Stones remained formidable…
After absorbing the power from the fragments, Ye Xuong and the Ding brothers immediately felt the force of nature within them grow stronger, especially the Ding brothers…
As outer sect disciples of Heavengate, the Ding brothers had learned only the most rudimentary Wind Flow Strength Cultivation Technique, which was drastically different from the techniques practiced by inner sect disciples like Sima Yun and Sima Feng.
Although they could absorb the force of nature, no matter how much they devoted themselves to cultivation, their strength stagnated…
Over time, the Ding brothers had almost given up!
However, the fragments of the Spirit Vein Stone that Ye Tian had brought back were like a beacon lighting their path!
Though it was only three days, once the brothers became accustomed to how to absorb the power from the Spirit Vein Stone, their power surged into their bodies endlessly.
This was a sensation they had never experienced before!
Within a few days, the brothers felt their strength had ascended to a new level!
“It’s truly incredible!
All thanks to our leader for bringing back these pieces of the Spirit Vein Stone!
Now, my power is incomparable to my former self!”
“In the past, when we faced the Sima Family’s puppets, we only had the option to run.
When we encountered the giant ape king, we could only attack it when it was injured!
But now things are different.
After seeing a puppet, I can fight it head-on, and I am confident I can subdue even the giant ape king!”
“It’s really our leader who’s capable.
Although I don’t know where he found these Spirit Vein Stones, this shortcut is undoubtedly what martial artists need most!
In my view, the Sima Family’s odds this time are slim!”
The Ding brothers boasted during their cultivation breaks.
