The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3172 - 3167: Triple Destiny of Heaven_1

"Initially, I intended to remain in this blessed land of Bi Shuangxing to further my cultivation, but it appears an external matter has arisen..."
His meditative state had been broken precisely by a sound transmission coming from outside.
At this moment, Han Bo, Ji Yue Shuang, Lin Tian Yi, and the others were already waiting for him.
Without any delay, Yang Chen rose, pushed open his doors, and stepped out to meet them.
"Brother Yang Chen, you... you have reached the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm." Han Bo’s gaze was sharp as a torch; he was visibly shaken to see such a change in Yang Chen’s cultivation level at a single glance.
"I managed to achieve a breakthrough this time by utilizing those ores and the insights gained from defeating Xuan Zhen," Yang Chen replied with a faint smile.
Both Han Bo and Lin Tianyi felt a surge of envy, knowing that the chance to refine a Royal Spirit God was a rare fortune.
Even for experts like them in the Sky Separation Realm, such an opportunity was something they could only dream of obtaining.
Regrettably, they lacked the necessary strength and could only look on with admiration.
"By the way, what has occurred that required the two seniors to interrupt my cultivation?" Yang Chen inquired, feeling curious.
"It is a complicated tale. We should keep it brief for now. Brother Yang Chen, let us go elsewhere to talk," Han Bo suggested with an inviting gesture.
Though puzzled, Yang Chen kept his expression neutral and followed the three of them closely.
In a short moment, the group arrived at a small pavilion.
Han Bo and Lin Tianyi politely gestured for Yang Chen to take a seat.
Once the four were settled, Han Bo spoke with a grave tone, "Brother Yang Chen, the situation is this: a development has recently occurred within the Liuli Mine."
"What happened?" Yang Chen asked calmly, his face showing no emotion. "The Liuli Mine shouldn't have been prone to any accidents, correct?"
"No, there were no accidents. To put it simply, a 'Sky Cave' exists within the region of the Liuli Mine. This cavern provides a path leading deep into the subterranean depths of Bi Shuangxing..." Han Bo explained after a brief moment of reflection.
"The depths of Bi Shuangxing? What lies down there?" Yang Chen was slightly taken aback. "And what is the link between this Sky Cave and the Liuli Mine?"
Han Bo and Lin Tianyi traded looks, realizing that a full explanation would be difficult.
However, they had already prepared their explanation. In response to Yang Chen's query, Han Bo said, "To be honest, the mystery behind why the Star Domain Interface of Bi Shuangxing is so unique likely resides deep beneath its surface."
Yang Chen paused. "What exactly is hidden down there?"
"That remains unknown. Bi Shuangxing has existed through several historical eras, and this isn't the first instance of the Sky Cave within the Liuli Mine opening. It has manifested several times throughout history, though the gaps between appearances are quite long. Each time it opens, it remains accessible for only about three months. Once that time passes, it seals shut. Any cultivators who fail to exit the Sky Cave in time will be trapped inside forever," Han Bo revealed.
"If that is the case, shouldn't cultivators have already conducted a thorough investigation to find out what makes the depths of Bi Shuangxing so special?" Yang Chen questioned.
"Nothing has ever been discovered. Logically, the source of Bi Shuangxing's uniqueness should be deep underground, but countless searches have yielded no leads. Eventually, everyone just gave up," Han Bo said with a bitter laugh.
Yang Chen was confused. "If that's true, people shouldn't be so interested in the Sky Cave. A mere mystery shouldn't be enough to make people go to such lengths to explore it."
"If the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine didn't exist, most people would likely share your view, Brother Yang Chen. However, there is a specific ore found deep under Bi Shuangxing known as the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine. It is the most prized treasure of this entire planet. It is because of this treasure that every opening of the Sky Cave triggers a violent struggle," Han Bo clarified.
"Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine?" Yang Chen was suddenly startled. "What sort of thing is that?"
"The Liuli Mine found in this cave is actually a variation of the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, but it develops on the surface instead of deep underground. Only the subterranean environment permits the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine to reach its full potential. Thus, ore from the depths provides the most perfect effects after being nourished by that environment. The common Liuli Mine found on the surface likely possesses less than one percent of the power found in the perfect version," Lin Tianyi interjected.
Yang Chen was struck by a sudden realization. "So, the reason the Liuli Mine contains a Sky Cave leading to the depths of Bi Shuangxing is due to the connection between these mines?"
"That is the most likely reason, but the cause is secondary. What matters is that the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine is a vital treasure for those of us who walk the path of Cultivation," Han Bo remarked, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes.
"What is the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine precisely?" Yang Chen asked, still curious. "What does it actually do?"
Han Bo thought for a moment before answering, "Brother Yang Chen, to explain the significance of the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, we must first discuss the Heaven-appointed Realm. How familiar are you with that realm?"
"Not very," Yang Chen confessed honestly.
"It is understandable that someone as young as Brother Yang Chen wouldn't know much about the Heaven-appointed Realm. However, you should be aware that the Heaven-appointed Realm is the stage where one creates a world," Han Bo said, his voice filled with passion. "This realm completely moves beyond the limits of the Heavenly Dao, allows one to manipulate laws, and gives birth to a world. It commands world power and utterly dwarfs the Leaving Realm."
Yang Chen was aware of this and nodded in agreement.
"But are you aware that not every practitioner in the Heaven-appointed Realm possesses their own independent world? Most have only barely transcended the Heavenly Dao, while a small portion has managed to form a world embryo. Only a very elite few can actually utilize laws to construct a full world," Han Bo elaborated.
"How does this relate to the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine?" Yang Chen pressed.
Han Bo gave a knowing chuckle. "Does Brother Yang Chen realize the difficulty of world creation? Forget a full world; even nurturing a world embryo can consume the entire lifespan of a Heaven-appointed Realm expert."
"Is it truly that arduous?" Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed.
"Why else would it be so significant? There is a massive chasm between experts of the Heavenly Fate Realm. Those with a world embryo and those without are on entirely different tiers. However, because cultivating one is as difficult as ascending to the heavens, many experts will spend their life's wealth to buy one, or even risk death to steal a world embryo from another expert," Han Bo stated.
"But if those without an embryo are on a lower level than those who have one, how could they even hope to steal from them?" Yang Chen pondered.
"That is true, but without taking such a risk, many in the Heavenly Fate Realm will never achieve a world embryo in their lives. Caught between a lifetime of stagnation and a desperate gamble for success, many experts choose the latter," Han Bo said, shaking his head with a thin smile.
