Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 100 : The Green Illuminace
As Ye Chen continued to dive down, the cave entrance became clearer, giving him a glimpse of formations as well as countless inscriptions engraved in the ground illuminated by a faint blue light.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown a little; however, he didn't slow down and made his way towards the cave entrance.
Although he didn't have too much knowledge about formation, he could see they were all here to maintain the mystic pond as well as the mystic Qi.
So, there was no need to worry about descending; it's just that he had to deal with enormous pressure now. Fortunately, he had high-grade healing pills given by Zhen Yunqi, so the injuries didn't matter much.
As for the blood? He was immortal and had endless vitality, which meant he could continue to replenish his blood. Of course, everything comes at a price, and the recovery of the blood was the same as it consumed half of the healing pills and as well as a vast amount of spiritual Qi.
He was, after all, at the Qi-gathering stage; how could he regenerate his blood without any external help? Nevertheless, it wasn't a problem for him, and while healing himself at a steady rate, he arrived in front of the cave entrance.
The first thing that caught his eye was not the source of green illuminance but the blue shield covering the whole entrance. Fortunately, it only blocked the water from flooding inside, so Ye Chen didn't face any trouble here and stepped inside the cave.
Swoosh!
As soon as he entered, fresh air brushed past his cheeks, making him a little stunned. However, he didn't think too much of it and looked ahead.
The cave was as big as a football field, and there were two entrances. One was behind him while the other was in the opposite direction. Clearly the second was from the other side of the lake where female disciples went.
However, what caught Ye Chen's attention wasn't this, but the numerous inscriptions engraved on the walls, floor, and ceiling, which pulsed every few seconds with faint green light.
"An elemental crystal? No, it's not that," Ye Chen immediately shook his head as he looked at the small green crystal shard floating in the middle of the cave while letting out the same pulsing green illuminance as the inscriptions.
Although this crystal shard looked like elemental crystal, it was quite different as it had no strange glyphs or characters on it. Furthermore, it didn't let out any elemental Qi and caused any vision.
Ye Chen had no idea what this crystal was; nevertheless, he could feel this was the source of so-called 'Mystic Qi,' and unlike outside, there was no pressure here.
Even the mystic Qi, which was trying to enter his body, stopped and became docile, making cultivating here much easier.
However, no one could enter here; even Li Mei and Su Ying, who had special physiques, would have a hard time.
"Looks like this test is to find someone with a divine spiritual root or a divine special physique," Ye Chen muttered with a thoughtful look.
If he didn't have endless vitality, which could recover his blood, even hundreds of him couldn't come here.
"A pity that there is nothing here except this," he shook his head in disappointment as he failed to get the answers he wanted.
Nevertheless, he decided to torture Lu Feng later and ask him everything. As for now, he needed to cultivate.
Thinking of this, his gaze became fixed on the green crystal shard. There was no protective shield preventing it, so he thought of taking this for himself; maybe he could even let his spiritual root devour it.
However strangely, no matter how near he was to the green crystal shard, the golden spiritual root didn't display any reaction, as if treating it as air.
Ye Chen was a bit disappointed at this, but he didn't care too much and extended his hand to grab the crystal shard. As for the opportunity of others? He didn't care!
Swoosh!
The moment his hand touched the crystal shard, it illuminated strongly!
—
"Hey look, the water is becoming green!"
"Idiot, that is a green illuminance, and it must be because Ye Chen triggered something."
The disciples who were still waiting for Ye Chen spoke with a stunned look, and before anyone could figure out what was happening, the whole cave was filled with green light.
It was the same for the other side of the lake, where Li Mei and others were cultivating.
—
Outside the forest, everyone looked at the mystic pond, hoping for their disciples to achieve great results. Many of the elders were even bragging about how good their disciples were.
Swoosh!
It was at this moment a bright green illuminance erupted, shocking everyone.
"What's happening?! Does anyone know the reason?"
"How could we know? The mystic pond doesn't allow anyone above Qi gathering to enter, so even if we want to, we can't do anything!"
Many people's expressions changed drastically at this, and they became worried about their disciple's safety.
"Everyone, I don't think this is something dangerous; look carefully at the green illuminance, and you will discover it yourself."
At this moment, Song Meilin spoke with a calm look.
Hearing her words, everyone glanced at the green illuminance hastily, and their expressions became stunned.
"This! What an opportunity! I feel like my doubts about cultivation are clearing up."
"Yeah, mine too!"
Everyone who looked at the green illuminance felt their comprehension of the realm increasing further; however, it was not by too much.
"A pity that mystic ponds don't allow us to enter."
"Yes, if not, we might have gained more benefits."
Many elders sighed with disappointment, but soon everyone's expression displayed joy as they understood their disciples must have gained this rare opportunity.
A pity that no one knew Ye Chen killed half of the disciples.
Just as many people were displaying joy, there were some who frowned, wondering why such an occurrence happened.
'Is this related to that brat?' Zhen Yunqi was also one of them, and her intuition was terrifyingly correct.
She couldn't think of anyone else besides Ye Chen who had the ability to do such a thing.
Even Su Qiming, Wei Sun, and Hong Fang thought of him.
As for Jing Xiao, she had gone back to the sect and was preparing to enter the nascent soul realm.
—
Just as the elders outside thought, the benefits of green illuminance were great.
Almost every disciple inside the lake had an enlightenment, and they all started cultivating steadily and slowly while solving their doubts about cultivation techniques and martial arts with this opportunity.
The farther one had reached in the lake, the better their enlightenment was and the faster they comprehended.
Ye Chen was also in this state; however, he was conscious about what was happening, especially the green crystal shard, which was getting devoured by his main soul.
He wasn't the one who did this but the crystal shard itself. He could've stopped this, but he didn't sense any anomaly, so he did nothing. Furthermore, there was a sense of familiarity, but he just couldn't figure out why.
If Ye Chen were at his main body, he would know that this familiarity came from extending the area of his divine ability.

Yes, the more the green crystal shard got devoured, the farther the area of his divine ability increased, and with extremely high efficiency. Just a tiny speck of crystal extended his divine ability area into one mile, and it continued further.
However, the green crystal shard was just the size of a pinky finger; furthermore, the process of devouring was terrifyingly slow.
'At this rate it would take more than three weeks to get devoured completely,' Ye Chen thought with a frown.
The mystic pond will only open for two weeks; maybe he would be trapped once the time ends here; however, that wasn't a big problem for him. The only thing he didn't want to happen was to get kicked out of here, but he was helpless to do anything about it.
In the end he just gave up on thinking about this and focused on the vast space he was inside.
The whole space was empty at first, but after a while, millions of ancient characters appeared and took his form before cultivating the 'Divine Resonance Arts.'
Unlike Ye Chen, who cultivated only half of it, his mirror self was doing it completely. It had mastered all of the arts inside and was now displaying it to him.
Ye Chen was stunned at this and had a lot of questions, but he suppressed them and started to follow his mirror self.
Even with his divine ability of 'Heavenly Comprehension,' it was hard for him to master 'Divine Resonance Arts' within a short period of time.
So, getting an opportunity to learn thoroughly was a great thing for him.
However, even with such simplicity, it took a long amount of time. A day passed by, then the second, then the third, then the week; however, Ye Chen was still immersed in mastering the 'Divine Resonance Arts.'
