Chapter 180: Chapter 156: The Astonishing Twins
Ye Chen and Jiang Yao nodded at the same time.
Previously, Jiang Yao had some understanding of the Half-Step Rotating Pill. Now, hearing her master say such, she began to place even more importance on the masters of the Half-Step Rotating Pill.
And Ye Chen finally understood that within the Spirit Sea Realm, there existed such a special level as the Half-Step Rotating Pill.
"The amount of True Qi in a Half-Step Rotating Pill master is incomparably strong. Perhaps only after I step into the Spirit Sea Realm and further increase the quantity of Gang Yuan True Qi in my body, will I be able to contend with them in terms of True Qi power," he thought.
"Moreover, the powerful Martial Skills they possess, some even being upper-grade Earth-tier Martial Skills, are equivalent in power to a high-order Sword Formation. I have not even cultivated a high-order Sword Formation yet, so I definitely need to be extremely cautious," he reflected.
"However, I also have the Nine Transformation Fighting Body, Void Instantaneous Change, and Flying Sword Killing Move. If I encounter them, I am not without means to respond," he reasoned.
Ye Chen considered the gap between himself and a Half-Step Rotating Pill master.
After Fairy Jia Luo explained what a Half-Step Rotating Pill was, she smiled at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, saying, "Alright, the matter I wanted to tell you about is concerning the 'Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb.'
"Ya'er, in this month's time, further enhance your strength. When you enter the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb, be cautious in obtaining the opportunities meant for you," she advised.
"Ye Chen, although you cannot enter the tomb, you must not slacken. You have already been practicing the Sword Formation for over a month with your senior sister Yu. With more than six months until the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Conference, you must continue to work hard," she encouraged.
As Fairy Jia Luo spoke, Ye Chen suddenly interrupted, "Sect Leader, I wish to enter the 'Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb' with Jiang Yao this time."
"Enter together?" Fairy Jia Luo was taken aback by Ye Chen's words, "You're only at eleventh level of True Qi right now; you need to be in the Spirit Sea Realm to qualify to enter the tomb. Do you think you can advance to the Spirit Sea Realm within a month?"
Jiang Yao's clear eyes also turned to Ye Chen. She was very willing to hear Ye Chen say he wanted to enter the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb with her, but like her master, she also worried that Ye Chen would not be able to step into the Spirit Sea Realm in such a short time.
After all, Ye Chen was still one whole cultivation level away from the Spirit Sea Realm, and no one could guarantee a successful breakthrough from the True Qi Realm to the Spirit Sea Realm.
Ye Chen looked at the girl beside him who was watching him with concern, gave a soft smile, and then turned to Fairy Jia Luo: "Since there is still a month before entering the tomb, that's enough time for me to make a break for the Spirit Sea Realm."
Ye Chen had absolute confidence in stepping into the Spirit Sea Realm because he had a Rotating Pill that could guarantee him a one hundred percent chance of stepping into the Spirit Sea Realm, which was even more miraculous than a top-grade Quintessence Spirit Seed!
All Ye Chen needed to do was break through to the twelfth level of True Qi, then take the Rotating Pill, and he could make a breakthrough into the Spirit Sea Realm to become a powerhouse of the Spirit Sea Realm!
In their time at Taixuan Sect over the past month, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had practiced the Sword Formation together, making great gains while also increasing their True Qi every day. With one more month's time, he had absolute confidence he could reach the twelfth level of True Qi.
He had not been in a hurry to rush into the Spirit Sea Realm, but with the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb, he had to advance if he wanted to enter with Jiang Yao—the Spirit Sea Realm was an imperative target now!
Ye Chen planned to step into the Spirit Sea within this month!
Seeing Ye Chen speak with full confidence that he could step into the Spirit Sea Realm within a month, Jiang Yao's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Ye Chen's strength, claiming a spot in the top ten of the Taixuan Sect's Spirit Rankings, was no difficulty, with the only thing missing being the requirement of the Spirit Sea Realm. If Ye Chen truly could step into the Spirit Sea and enter the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb with her, that would be great!
Thinking of this, the girl also became excited.
Jiang Yao never doubted Ye Chen's words. She thought to herself, if Ye Chen said he could step into the Spirit Sea within a month, then he definitely could!
"Are you really confident that you can step into the Spirit Sea within a month?" Fairy Jia Luo looked at Ye Chen and smiled lightly upon seeing him nod again, "If that's the case, then even better."
"You and Ya'er entering the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb together would be able to look after each other. Along with our sect's other two Half-Step Rotating Pill disciples, you will not be at too much of a disadvantage when competing with those disciples from the fifth-grade sects," she stated.
"Ye Chen, I look forward to hearing the good news of you stepping into the Spirit Sea Realm in a month!" she expressed.
When Ye Chen and Jiang Yao left Snowdrift Residence at the peak of Snowdrift Peak, Jiang Yao took Ye Chen's hand, and her clear beautiful eyes looked into his, "Ye Chen, what do you plan to do next—focus on True Qi, or continue to train the Sword Formation with senior sister Yu?"
"The Spirit Rankings, we need to make a push for them as well. I heard there have been major changes in the rankings recently, and we need to ensure we stay in the top ten," she highlighted.
Looking at the girl's expectant gaze, Ye Chen gently pinched Jiang Yao's fair and tender cheek and said with a smile, "Let's continue to practice the Sword Formation with senior sister Yu. The remaining time should be enough to cultivate True Qi."
"As for the Spirit Rankings, didn't they say we could quickly acquire true transmission points from the three major trial grounds? Let's make a specific effort to push for the rankings in the last few days!" he planned.
"Alright," Jiang Yao nodded her small head, "Then we'll still focus on the Sword Formation. We're almost done with the third Sword Formation, the 'Hidden Wind Sword Formation'. We strive to move on to the fourth Sword Formation before entering the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb."
As they talked, they made their way to the residence of senior sister Yu, located on the mountainside of Snowdrift Peak.
In the following days, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao still trained for six hours a day in the Sword Formation at senior sister Yu's place, and the rest of the time, they started to focus mainly on cultivating True Qi.
Senior sister Yu, who was researching the seventh high-order Sword Formation, had no plans to enter the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb and was not specifically aiming to push for the true transmission rankings.
