Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 101 : Benefits

"It should be two weeks today, right? Then why is the green illuminance still there? Also, why had no one come out yet? It can't be that everyone managed to stay in the Qi-gathering realm?"

An elder outside couldn't help but question with a worried look. No matter how talented one was, there were some who made mistakes and got kicked out early.

Yet this year nothing like that happened, and on top of that, there was an abnormal anomaly.

"I think this is related to that green illuminance; unless it dissipated completely, the mystic pond will remain open. As for the disciples not coming out, they must have encountered a great opportunity."

Someone concluded, lessening the worries of others; nevertheless, many were still concerned.

But it was useless since they could do nothing but watch silently.

—

It took a total of two weeks for Ye Chen to master 'Divine Resonance Arts.' In which contained the Forging Art, Beastmaster Art, Divination Art, and everything else related to cultivation.

Of course this didn't mean he mastered the forging, could subdue the beasts without any effort, or could divine anything in the world; it's just that he had a better head start compared to others.

Then there was also an important thing he learned about the 'Divine Resonance Arts', and that was the dual cultivation, which was a lot different than what he thought.

Well, the physical activities were the same; it's just the 'Divine Resonance Arts' can alter the cultivation technique of his partner, making it reach a higher grade.

However, only if Ye Chen had completely comprehended his partner's cultivation technique!

Although this was simple to say, it was a ridiculous thing since it was impossible to cultivate a second cultivation technique, which meant he wouldn't have deep comprehension unless he studied it for years or got a 'complete' understanding from his partner, which would also take a long time.

"Well, it's better than nothing," Ye Chen said to himself and waved his hand.

In that instant, a few booklets appeared in the blank space. One of them was very eye-catching with the words earth-grade 'Phoenix Sky Dance' written on the cover.

Ye Chen didn't hesitate and skimmed through the booklet with a serious look. It had been two weeks since he was in this special comprehension space. Although he didn't know the reason and failed to understand why the mystic pond hadn't kicked him out yet, he didn't waste any time thinking on this and started to master the martial techniques he needed to.

Just like this, a week passed, and the green crystal shard was about to be devoured completely.

With such changes, the green illuminance had completely disappeared in the past three days and took everyone out of their comprehension; however, they were still inside the mystic pond.

Swoosh!

The last bit of crystal shard was finally devoured, and it was at this moment a cold voice rang out in Ye Chen's ears.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking the common sense once again by letting the Heavenly Dao Crystal (Broken, Lost Primary Effects) get devoured willingly and giving you the further benefits: Enter the enlightenment realm for three weeks, cleanse your body, refine the spiritual Qi, increase the divine ability area by an eighty-mile-wide radius, and cultivate up to the Ninth Stage of Qi-gathering!]

[As a reward for such massive achievement, you have been awarded five Heaven-grade fishing chances!]

Hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned.

He didn't feel too shocked about the enlightenment realm and his cultivation, but the cleansing of his body, the increase of divine area, and the refinement of spiritual Qi inside his body shocked him.

One had to know that he was a spiritual mountain, so even without any cleansing, his body was top-notch, especially since it had been only two months since he had been reborn.

There was almost no need for any cleansing, but the Heavenly Dao Crystal still did this and gave his body a powerful self-cleansing ability. Now, no matter how many pills he consumes, it would be hard for any impurities to build up.

Of course, this ability was short-lived and would only last until the Qi-condensation realm, as the Heavenly Dao Crystal was broken and had lost its primary effects. Nevertheless, this was still something shocking.

Then the second benefit that shocked him was the refining of spiritual Qi!

With the 'Divine Resonance Arts' and his identity as a spiritual mountain, it was practically impossible for him to breathe impure Qi; even if he did this on purpose, his cultivation technique would refine it.

The reason why he was able to fight with Zhen Yunqi, who had suppressed her realm at the ninth level Qi-refining stage, was none other than his pure spiritual Qi. It was already heaven-defying, but now his spiritual Qi got refined further.

Because of this, his dantian was now filled with various elemental Qis, and he had full control over them like a person with a mutated elemental spiritual root can have. Furthermore, this was not something short-lived but a permanent thing since his 'Divine Resonance Arts' and golden spiritual root adapted to this purity on their own.

One had to know that having control over elements was normal for any cultivator as long as they reached the foundation establishment realm and spent a few years on martial arts related to the elements they wanted. But Ye Chen had to do none of this and even had the same control just as people with mutated elemental spiritual roots.

Then comes the third benefit: the increase in his divine ability area, which was an eighty-mile-wide radius!

Ye Chen had extended his divine area before, but he only did it in one direction, reaching two miles long and five miles wide. Compared to this, the eighty-mile-wide radius, which spread in all directions, was on another level.

With such a wide increase, the whole Azure Cloud Sect was under his surveillance; even the forest outside and the unknown mountain range behind couldn't escape.

A pity that his cultivation was not strong enough to use the 'Divine Eyes' from a long distance.

Shing!

Just as Ye Chen was busy in his thoughts, a red light erupted from the ground, and a transparent old man with a bulky physique appeared.

"To the disciple who had gained the acknowledgment of Heavenly Dao Crystal, I am sure by now you understand this 'Mystic Test' was created to find a person with 'Divine Dao Physique.'"

"This physique had always been the closest to heaven and could do certain things that no one could in the whole world. As for what those things are, you can understand by the time you reach the high realm, so I will explain no more about this."

"As you see, I am just a recording left by my original self, and I am here to guide a disciple with 'Divine Dao Physique' as well as give them a valued opportunity. You can reject this if you want, but be careful since this opportunity is only for the Qi-gathering and Qi-refining realms. Once you break through further, you will not be able to get this opportunity ever!"

The old man spoke seriously.

While hearing him, Ye Chen thought for a moment.

"Can you tell me what this opportunity is? Is it some herb, spirit fruit, or inheritance?" he inquired.

The old man in the recording seems to have expected this question and laughed.

"Everything! The opportunity contains everything you had mentioned; however, I won't be giving it to you directly. You have to fight for this in another test, which will be conducted inside the 'Mystic Realm.' As for who will you compete with? The disciples who had entered the lake and as well as the disciples at Qi-gathering and Qi-refining who are in the ten-mile radius"

"Of course, they can reject this opportunity just like you, but don't hope on it too much since I don't see any reason for them to give up."

"So, do you want to take this opportunity where you must compete with others? You have only a few breaths of time to decide, after which the recording will shut down automatically and the mystic pond will disappear forever."

The old man said.

"Yes, I do want this opportunity," Ye Chen didn't hesitate this time and replied.

If someone wanted to harm him, they wouldn't ask and explain everything so he didn't think there might be any problems.

"Good! Good! That's the courage a genius should have!" The old man laughed and waved his hand.

In that instant a wooden token appeared in front of Ye Chen with the words 'Mystic Realm Test' written on it. There were also thirty dots of light, which indicated how many days he would stay inside the realm.

Then there were also a few lines written in the back—a genius had decided to take the inheritance test, but is he really a genius? What if there are others better than him? Wait no more and drop your blood on this token if you want to show who deserves such an outstanding opportunity! Remember, only the Qi-gathering and Qi-refining stages can participate.

…

Just as Ye Chen received this token, others who passed the criteria also received it.

Outside the forest, the elders couldn't help but become shocked at this, and their hearts became filled with regrets, wondering why they had not brought more disciples here.

Nevertheless, they didn't waste any time complaining and hastily asked their disciples to dip their blood on it.

Boom!

It was at this moment a massive space crack appeared above the forest, which gave a glimpse of a secret realm filled with greenery and mystery.
