Chapter 4230 Yuan Zun Fourth Rank

As the Chaotic Holy Scripture circulated, the chaotic sacred crystal suspended around him rapidly decreased, several times faster than before.

Countless streams of Chaotic True Qi had just emanated when they were absorbed into his body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. After obtaining the third Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, Ye Bufan once again transformed into a pump, frantically devouring the chaotic sacred crystal.

From this point, it could be seen that although the Yunhai Secret Art was a decent High Grade Cultivation Technique, the gap between it and the Chaotic Holy Scripture was still enormous.

Ye Bufan was completely immersed in Cultivation, his strength rapidly climbing: Chaotic Yuan Venerable First Grade, Chaotic Yuan Venerable Second Grade, Chaotic Yuan Venerable Third Grade.

His Cultivation speed was extremely fast, with no Bottleneck as long as there were sufficient resources. But just as he was about to charge the Fourth Grade, the surroundings suddenly emptied, and the dense Chaos Qi disappeared.

Ye Bufan opened his eyes. The ten thousand chaotic sacred crystal that had been there earlier had now vanished, not a single one remaining.

“This…” Originally, according to Ku Xuzi, these should have been enough for him to Cultivate to Yuan Zun Ninth Grade, but now, he had just reached the Third Grade and they were already exhausted.

The old problem resurfaced; the Chaotic Holy Scripture was indeed Heaven-Defying, but its resource requirements were several times that of ordinary Cultivation Techniques.

At this moment, he was still a little short of the Fourth Grade. He first took out the nearly hundred chaotic sacred crystal he had seized from Yan Song.

As a result, this was not even enough to fill the Chaotic Holy Scripture's teeth; they were absorbed within a few breaths. In desperation, he pulled out Ran Changsheng's Divine Essence Pill and threw it into his mouth.

Normally, a Divine Essence Pill refined from an Eighth Grade Saint Emperor's Primordial Spirit contained powerful energy, but for his current cultivation, it had little effect, only providing a slight boost, still not enough for a Breakthrough.

He then swallowed Yan Song's Divine Essence Pill, and with that, he finally broke through to Yuan Venerable Fourth Grade in one go.

“This is too difficult, how many resources will I need in the future!” Ye Bufan sighed. In terms of speed, his Breakthrough was indeed fast enough, but the resource consumption was far too great.

Without resources, relying solely on devouring the Chaotic Origin Energy between heaven and earth was too slow, so he simply stopped Cultivating.

He began to study other skills he had obtained from the Ancient Medical Sect, starting with Chaotic Artifact Refining Art. After obtaining the Legacy, he learned that chaotic spiritual treasure also had Ranks, quite similar to Immortal Artifacts, divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade.

With a thought, his four chaotic spiritual treasure appeared before his eyes. The Sun-Extinguishing Bow and Heaven-Slaying Arrow, which had unparalleled destructive power in the Immortal Realm, were only Low Grade chaotic spiritual treasure according to their Rank classification.

The eight extremes primordial chaos cauldron was still Low Grade, while the Hundred Transformations Illusory Sky Metal was better, reaching the Medium Grade Rank. What pleased him most was the Demon Refining Bottle; this item was surprisingly a Top Grade chaotic spiritual treasure.

However, a doubt then arose in his mind. A Top Grade chaotic spiritual treasure was an extremely rare treasure, even in the Chaotic Saint Realm.

How did this item reach Earth, then the Qin Family, and finally fall into his hands? Could it be that everything relied on luck? It seemed highly improbable no matter how he thought about it.

Thinking of this, he recalled that woman again. Could it be that all of this was her arrangement? He shook his head and put away the chaotic spiritual treasure.

Although he had obtained the Artifact Refiner Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, with his current strength, he could only refine Low Grade chaotic spiritual treasure.

And to refine treasures of this Rank, the required Materials were naturally of a higher Rank. With his current financial situation, he couldn't even refine one.

He then began to study Chaotic Formation. Compared to Immortal Formations, this Formation was of a higher Rank, mobilizing the Chaos Qi between heaven and earth, and thus more powerful.

The result, however, was the same: without Materials, he couldn't even refine Formation Flags, so he couldn't cast them for the time being.

In contrast, Medical skill was the easiest to Master, but refining Medicinal Pills also required Materials. In short, to rapidly advance in the Chaotic Saint Realm, one needed endless resources.

Thinking of this, he ended his Cultivation and walked out of the thatched hut.

Outside the hut, Ku Xuzi sat on a large stone, looking up at the Void Realm, his face full of joy, grinning from ear to ear.

“Master, Ancestral Master, your Disciple now hopes to fulfill your last wish; the Yunhai Sect's revival is imminent. May the Saint Ancestor's spirit in heaven bless me, and I hope my newly accepted Disciple can obtain your Legacy and recreate your past glory!” The old man muttered to himself, completely immersed in excitement.

He guarded here, also acting as Ye Bufan's Protector. Half a day passed in a blink of an eye, and even after so long, a radiant smile still graced his face.

At this moment, the doors of the other two thatched huts opened, and Jin Sanyuan and Ning Cailing walked out.

“Master, why are you so happy?” Ning Cailing and Jin Sanyuan came forward, looking at their Master with some surprise. The old man was usually somber and rarely this happy.

Ku Xuzi smiled brightly: “Of course I’m happy. Today, I’ve accepted a good Disciple, and the revival of my Yunhai Sect is within reach.” Ning Cailing said with some apology: “Master, we have disappointed you.”

“You are already very outstanding, but many things are predestined in the dark, not something that can be forced.” Ku Xuzi waved his hand.

“Fortunately, the Ancestral Master manifested, and Heaven has eyes, finally allowing my Yunhai Sect to have its day.” Ning Cailing said: “It seems Master has great confidence in Junior Brother’s Aptitude.” Ku Xuzi said excitedly: “Indeed, a Heaven-Bestowed Body! A Heaven-Bestowed Body rarely seen in a million years! I faintly feel that he is the Saint Ancestor's chosen one.” Ning Cailing smiled: “Instead of being happy here, Master, it would be better to quickly guide Junior Brother in his Cultivation. After all, time is precious at the Saint Spirit Convention, so it’s best to help him get started quickly.” Hearing her say this, Ku Xuzi’s face was full of pride: “Your Junior Brother has already completed his initiation. He has now mastered the Yunhai Sect’s Cultivation Technique. Now it’s up to him to Cultivate on his own.”

“What?” The smile on Ning Cailing’s face disappeared, replaced by shock. Even the taciturn Jin Sanyuan showed a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

When they were initiated, they had never practiced the Yunhai Secret Art either. With their extraordinary Aptitude, Jin Sanyuan took five days to get started, and Ning Cailing was faster, but still took three days.

But they never expected that Ye Bufan, having just arrived at the Yunhai Sect, would complete his initiation within a few hours. This Cultivation speed was simply terrifying.

“How about it? Now you know why Master is happy, right? This is the power of a Heaven-Bestowed Body.” Ku Xuzi said.

“Back then, it took Jin Sanyuan half a month to Breakthrough to the Yuan Venerable Realm. Ning Cailing took a bit less time, but still a full twelve days. As for your Junior Brother, I guess he’ll reach it in as little as three days, or at most seven days.” Although inwardly shocked, Ning Cailing still shook her head: “Master, you’re exaggerating too much. I don’t think Junior Brother, no matter how amazing his Aptitude, could be that fast.” There was a reason for her saying this; after all, the Breakthrough from Yuan Immortal to Yuan Venerable was a qualitative change, infinitely more difficult than reaching the Second Grade from the First Grade.

It was no exaggeration to say that ninety percent of the Geniuses in the Holy Spirit Tournament would be blocked by this hurdle, unable to Breakthrough within a month.

Junior Brother's Aptitude was extraordinary, so his Breakthrough was not surprising, but to say he could reach Yuan Venerable in three days was still a bit too exaggerated.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the thatched hut opened, and Ye Bufan walked out.
