The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3214 - 3209: Two Candidates_1

Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Spirit Separation Ancestor, seething with anger, bowed to Xuanyang Palace Master's authority and withdrew without escalating conflict between Grand Abyss Palace and Divine Night Sect, though a deep rift persisted. White Eyebrow Daoist and Princess Wenqi resolved to suppress news of the confrontation to thwart foreign race interference, lamenting the short-sightedness of their rivals. Meanwhile, Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang entered Gu Jianchou's unassuming secluded cultivation site, revealing a door to his self-created world of mountains, rivers, and landscapes. Gu Jianchou elucidated the Heaven-appointed Realm's three stages, the vital infusion of personal laws into world power, and how gathered treasures like these terrains function as defensive magic artifacts to bolster a cultivator's might.

Yang Chen paid close attention, absorbing every single word without overlooking anything.

"That's precisely why Han Yi feared me so much earlier, yet once he stepped into the World Stage, he grew bold enough to consider challenging me. Battles at the World Stage get incredibly intricate."

Gu Jianchou explained, "I extracted this mountain from an interface known as the Heavenly Thunder Divine Mountain, boasting unique thunder and lightning abilities. I integrated it into my personal world and cultivated it using the world's power. During fights against foes, as my world's power expands, this magical treasure acts just like a formidable weapon right within my domain."

With this revelation, Yang Chen suddenly grasped many new insights.

Hua Qingfeng had meticulously selected the treasures within the Mountain and River Destruction Map, refining them into essential assets inside his own world.

"This water comes from the Ancient Literary Holy Water I discovered in the West Jade Realm, and that towering ancient tree reaching the skies was..." Gu Jianchou continued enthusiastically, sharing freely from his experiences.

Yang Chen followed along with keen interest and finally posed a question, "Does that imply anything at all can be merged into a person's world to aid in cultivation?"

"Spot on—every element across the world can transform into world treasures. Take even a worthless chunk of iron; if you foster it with your world's power, it could yield surprising advantages. Naturally, that's merely an expression. Any cultivator in the Heaven-appointed Realm picks their world treasures with utmost caution. Consider Yi Tian, who pursued you on that white crane—the bird belongs to a scarce alien species. Its flight rivals lightning's swiftness, and after being nurtured by the world's power, its velocity hits levels beyond imagination. I'm not even certain I could outpace him in a chase. It's a wonder you've lasted this long."

Through this, Yang Chen started unraveling the secrets of the Heaven-appointed Realm.

Yang Chen smiled lightly, "It's all down to fortune on my part. So, is there no cap on how many world treasures one can weave into their world?"

"Far from it—the quantity of world treasures a world can accommodate remains restricted. It ties directly to your cultivation realm and the potency of your world power. The greater the number of Laws you master, the mightier your world power becomes. Those with robust world power possess an enormously expansive world, allowing space for more world treasures."

Gu Jianchou lifted a finger and noted, "Take my case: in my younger days, I fully comprehended three Laws, granting my world power far superior strength compared to most. Thus, my world supports three world treasures, something few can match."

"Just three world treasures? Yet the world holds countless items." Ji Yue Shuang interjected curiously.

Yang Chen shared the same confusion.

He once believed every object in existence served as a world treasure, even those inside the Mountain and River Destruction Map, but clearly, that wasn't the reality.

"Haha, as if there could be endless ones? Only three qualify as genuine world treasures; the others, while sustained by my world power, offer varying degrees of utility but don't count as true treasures," Gu Jianchou clarified.

"Then, if they're neither mere ornaments nor actual world treasures, what's their purpose?" Ji Yue Shuang inquired, her lips pursing slightly.

"You clever girl... Do you realize that advancing to the later phase of the Destiny Realm lets you refine a handful more world treasures? It's unfortunate I never progressed that far in the Destiny Realm," Gu Jianchou lamented with a sigh.

"Haha, senior brother, thanks to the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine Yang Chen provided this time, your solid foundation will surely propel you to the World Life Stage," Ji Yue Shuang remarked cheerfully.

Gu Jianchou chuckled heartily, "Should I ascend to the World Life Stage now, it will be entirely due to Brother Yang Chen's generosity."

"I merely offered a small assist. On that note, is the sole distinction between the middle and later stages of the Destiny Realm simply the count of world treasures one can refine?" Yang Chen probed further.

Gu Jianchou shook his head: "It's far deeper than that. For powerhouses at the World Stage, the might of their world treasures differs greatly—not just from the treasures' inherent strength, but also from how long they've been nurtured. Besides, those in the middle stage of the Destiny Realm can't harness their world treasures to full potential, whereas later-stage experts can. Furthermore, the later stage surpasses the middle in numerous other ways. You'll get it once your own cultivation advances. No use overloading you with details at this point."

Yang Chen realized he shouldn't push for more right away. Gu Jianchou had already shared plenty to mull over.

Overloading on knowledge now might prove counterproductive anyway. He could explore further down the line.

Gu Jianchou let out a deep sigh, "Just remember, the divides between each of the Destiny Realm's three stages are immense, and Heavenly Extreme Realm beings stand as the universe's supreme terrors. Compared to them, we Destiny Realm folks are like helpless babies."

In that instant, Yang Chen struggled to picture it, since Destiny Realm experts already appeared daunting to him.

The Heavenly Extreme Realm truly defied comprehension.

"Let's leave it there. Given your exceptional talent, you'll hit my level eventually. By the way, what's your strategy for allocating the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine?" Gu Jianchou inquired, "Got any plans? If you're thinking of trading it, I can offer some advice."

Yang Chen shook his head and replied, "I have no intention of trading it."

Not that he refused, but he'd intended to gift the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine from the start. Claiming distribution rights was only to prevent ill will, and demanding treasures now might stir up resentment, clashing with his original goal.

Gu Jianchou nodded appreciatively at Yang Chen's stance, then followed up, "So, what standards will you use?"

"Primarily, they need solid character. Next, they should feel assured that my Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine can elevate them to the later stage of the Destiny Realm. Beyond that, it boils down to my intuition. If someone rubs me the wrong way, no Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine for them," Yang Chen stated firmly.

Gu Jianchou burst into delighted laughter, "I admire that mindset! Absolutely, personal liking matters most. No reason to hand over such a prize to someone you dislike. Regarding your criteria, I know two fitting candidates. Like myself, they're frantic to break into the later stage of the Destiny Realm and bordering on desperation. Offer them the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, and they'll owe you deeply."

At these words, Yang Chen's curiosity piqued, "Do share more, senior brother!"
