Chapter 184: Fortune is Closely Related to Misfortune

During cultivation, a martial artist would absorb the energy from heaven and earth. They would then use those mystical cultivation arts to turn that energy into essence force. The dantian was just like a cauldron which would cook a delicacy after throwing in all the ingredients.

Once the essence force was stored for a sufficient amount of time in the dantian, it would change in quality, causing the gaseous essence force to turn into liquid essence and condense into the Purple Mansion. Afterward, the martial artist would be able to store more essence force and use stronger attack moves. In other words, the Purple Mansion was like a dantian of a higher grade.

However—

Even after the condensation of the Purple Mansion, the martial artist still had to rely on the dantian to cultivate, to absorb the energy from heaven and earth, and to produce gaseous essence forces. After cultivating the essence forces, it would be turned into liquid essence force and stored in the Purple Mansion.

This was common knowledge that every Purple Mansion Realm martial artist knew!

Jiang Yi was clear about this, too. When he cultivated using the Jiang Water Art earlier, his dantian would be filled with blue essence forces; and it would be absorbed by the Purple Mansion which was normal.

The abnormal thing was the Nameless Art!

In the past, the black essence force produced by the Nameless Art would be within the dantian. The cultivation speed as compared to the Jiang Water Art was much slower.

Now, the black essence force produced by the Nameless Art didn’t appear in the dantian but within the small Purple Mansion. It was frightening.

Jiang Yi wasn’t entirely knowledgeable about the small Purple Mansion, but he was certain about something. The black liquid essence in the small Purple Mansion could be turned into a hundred drops of blue liquid essence—which could be turned into 10,000 wisps of blue gaseous essence force.

This meant to say if he cultivated using the Nameless Art in the future, his cultivation speed would be ten folds faster than now.

Ten folds!

It was a frightening figure. His current cultivation speed already comparable to the elite prodigies that were ranked in the Divine Martial Kingdom’s Clear Sky Ranking. If this was true, he would be the undisputed prodigy with the top cultivation speed in the entire continent.

I’ll give it a try!

Jiang Yi took a deep breath. It was useless to make any assumptions; it would easier to get the result if he was to test it directly.

He expelled all distracting thoughts and concentrated on cultivating. This time, he cultivated for one hour, producing ten wisps of black essence force in his small Purple Mansion. The ten wisps of black essence force coagulated and formed a single drop of black liquid essence.

Arise!

He controlled the newly cultivated liquid essence and brought it out of the small Purple Mansion. When it came out into the larger Purple Mansion, the black liquid essence turned into ten drops of blue liquid essence as expected. It was then turned into 10,000 wisps of blue essence force.

One hour… 10,000 wisps!

Jiang Yi opened his eyes, and they were glowing very brightly. He originally required one hour to produce 1000 wisps of blue essence force. This cultivation speed was indeed faster by ten folds.

“Hahaha…!”

Jiang Yi let out a long laugh. Fortunately, he realized it early and shut his mouth. It was now in the middle of the night, his hysterical laughter would make others think that he had gone crazy.

What exactly is this black essence force? It is actually ten folds more effective than the normal essence forces!

Jiang Yi was having deep thoughts. If a drop of black liquid essence could turn into ten drops of blue liquid essence, didn’t it prove that the black essence force was ten folds stronger than the blue essence force? It was also because of this insane black essence force that a small Purple Mansion was created and had helped increase his cultivation speed by ten folds.

Could this Nameless Art truly be left down by Mother? Zhuge Qingyun, who has such strength, also mentioned how formidable she was. It meant that her strength was actually insane, right? Peak stage of Soul Travel Realm? Vajra Realm? Or perhaps Heaven Monarch?

Jiang Yi felt that his body had too many mysteries that were unsolved. Jiang Yunhai’s fate was currently in a predicament. Otherwise, with Jiang Yi’s current strength, Jiang Yunhai wouldn’t conceal anything regarding his mother.

Now that there is a small Purple Mansion inside my Purple Mansion, the upper limit of the 1000 wisps of black essence force shouldn’t have any more restraints, right? After all, the black essence that I created can be turned into blue essence force and stored in the Purple Mansion!

When Jiang Yi thought of this, his heart became even more excited.

This Purple Mansion seemed small and was only the size of longan, but there was another world inside it. When his mind immersed into it, he could see a spacious area that could store millions of droplets of blue essence force effortlessly. The black essence forces that he created in the small Purple Mansion could be turned into the blue essence force and stored in the larger Purple Mansion, meaning the black essence force would never hit the upper limit!

No, that’s not right—

When thinking about this upper limit, Jiang Yi’s mind got a shock. He forgot about a problem!

When the black liquid essence came out from the small Purple Mansion, it would be turned in blue liquid essence, which would be turned into blue gaseous essence force.

In other words… he might be able to produce black essence force, but he couldn’t use any of it anymore! When the black liquid essence exited the small Purple Mansion, it would immediately turn into blue essence force!

If he couldn’t use the black essence force, it would mean a decrease in firepower of his Exploding Essence Palm. He wouldn’t be able to enhance elixirs anymore; neither would he be able to enhance his vision, sense of smell, or hearing ability!

With the addition of the small Purple Mansion, it offered him a frightening cultivation speed, but he lost many of the original mystical abilities that he had.

Jiang Yi tested for a long time and was certain that he was unable to channel the black essence force anymore. When he tried channeling the blue essence force to his ears, nose, and eyes, it didn’t have the same enhancement as before. Jiang Yi’s excited emotions immediately sank down.

‘Fortune is closely related to misfortune.’ A rise in something would cause a fall in something else.

In these recent years, he had already been used to the black essence force. It was precisely this black essence that gave him the ability to kill enemies beyond his cultivation stage. There were many instances where he relied on the black essence force to counter kill in crucial moments and survive.

Back at the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch, had it not been for the black essence force, he would have been trapped to death in there. Now that he lost a formidable offense method and special mystical abilities, he felt very regretful and dejected.

Of course, if he had to pick between ten folds increase in cultivation speed or the enhancement abilities of the black essence force, he would definitely pick the former. After all, one’s own strength was the one and only truth. If he was overly reliant on the black essence force, he might be led astray from his path.

The problem was… it was daybreak soon, and the Kingdom War was about to begin. He was going to face many terrifying enemies. With the sudden loss of his special abilities, his combat strength was going to suffer; and his probability of dying inside would be much higher now.

“Shh-shh-shh!”

Just as Jiang Yi was having wild imaginations, the sky was gradually brightening up. There were rustling noises coming from the outside, which meant that Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Lin’er were awake. He kept his thoughts and didn’t continue thinking anymore. He got up and went for a rinse before he followed the rest of the college and gathered outside of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.

“Qian Wanguan, why are you here? You aren’t participating in the Kingdom War, right?”

Seeing Qian Wanguan mixed in the group, Jiang Yi asked with curiosity. Qian Wanguan let out a mischievous laugh. “Zhan Lin’er isn’t participating either. So are some mentors. We are here for a free trip to the imperial capital for some fun. There aren’t many opportunities to ride the teleportation array, and it is a long journey to the imperial capital. Of course… I will be waiting for your triumphant return at the imperial capital!”

“Oh!”

Jiang Yi stood silently and didn’t look around much. When the vice principals and mentors came out, he looked down and didn’t dare to lift his head. He was afraid he might see that familiar and beautiful figure, which would give him heartache.

Going against Jiang Yi’s expectation—when everyone had arrived, Su Ruoxue didn’t reveal herself at all.

With a wave of Principal Qi’s hand, everyone boarded the carriages and set off towards the royal palace in the north. A delicate figure slowly walked out of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, she was followed by two veterans who were of Soul Travel Realm. When the college’s carriages vanished at the end of the street, one of the Soul Travel Realm martial experts bowed with cupped hands and said, “Princess, let’s go! The wedding is in three months. His Majesty ordered that you must return to the kingdom now.”

“Let’s depart!”

Su Ruoxue nodded without any emotions and boarded a luxurious carriage which rode to the south. Su Ruoxue sat alone in the carriage and was having this faint smile, but her smile felt cold. She pulled aside the curtain and looked to the north and muttered softly, “Jiang Yi. If you perish in this Kingdom War, Ruoxue will definitely accompany you one year later!”
