Chapter 105: The Dark Troopers Move

Ye Chen’s Astral Body was far stronger than Little Tanuki’s thought. That made the critter a little eager to investigate its own Astral Body. Having since absorbed traces of Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi, Little Tanuki had developed its own Astral Body. Now, it had both Psyche and Astral Body together, working in tandem. It wondered what bouts of effects that would bring.

Ye Chen’s eyes met the cool Raven Hawk. After a moment, he said, “You’ve got a Fluffy One, Fluffy Two, and Fluffy Three before you. From now on, we’ll call you Fluffy Four.” Feathers were considered furs too so it made sense to call it Fluffy and it was easier to remember too.

Ye Chen tossed a high tier Spirit Pill to the hawk, gave it an order, and left it to cultivate on its own.

Maybe there would be another beast that would walk into the place. If that was the case, Ye Chen would tame the subsequent beast too! If he could not do it, he would have Little Tanuki try in his place. If it were a Celestial Beast that set foot in here, then there would be no way for him to enslave it. Celestial Beasts possessed a stronger Psyche, they could not be as easily enslaved as a beast.

What would a Celestial Beast’s Psyche look like? Ye Chen wondered. He set forth his Astral Body, locating the Lioness in the process and then seeping into her consciousness for a look.

The Lioness was cultivating. The moment she had sensed Ye Chen’s Astral Body, it froze.

As Ye Chen’s Astral Body scanned its consciousness, he realized a beast’s Psyche tends to clump together so they were all the same. So long as he imprinted his Psyche on them, he would bring them under his control. On the other hand, Celestial Beasts had a slightly different Psyche structure. Their Psyche was scattered and loose like clusters of meteorites circling in a formation in the consciousness. The concentration in their Psyche was greater than a Beast’s. It was not highly malleable but also rather scattered. Thus, foreign Psyche could not possibly invade their minds to enslave them.

That explained why beasts were so easily enslaved yet Celestial Beasts were not! Their constitutions were vastly different, both mind and body.

With that newfound knowledge, Ye Chen recalled his Astral Body.

After Ye Chen’s Astral Body had left, the Lioness heaved a sigh of relief, fortunate to have lived once more.

Having arrived at the bottleneck of peak Ninth Level, the Celestial Chi could no longer break through any further for the time being. Ye Chen continued to hone Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun.

Recently, Ye Chen’s cultivation base and martial arts technique had soared in level. As far as his spiritual prowess was concerned, however, there were no significant progression. Ye Chen may have learned about the Dao Trance but it was all at the surface level only. He still struggled to learn the nuances of it.

Perhaps now would be the best time for Ye Chen to learn about the nuances.

Ye Chen felt the Chi flow in his surroundings and the changes that had occurred. Slowly, he descended into a meditative state. The Nine Astra in him had an interesting rhythm. It kept orbiting like it was changing.

Ever since Ye Chen had consolidated nine Chi Vortexes, he was used to cultivating the systems together. The nine cultivation systems tended to increase in level with one another. The Nine Astra Skies was a truly mysterious system. No amount of words could ever describe it.

During cultivation, Ye Chen had also developed a greater understanding of the Chi-amassing Formation. The formation of the rocks appeared in his consciousness and they spun in a rather mesmerizing manner.

The Chi-amassing Formation was an interesting entity like no other. Without needing any form of force or energy to activate it, it could just seamlessly integrate itself into the surroundings.

Ye Chen had all orders of the Chi-amassing Formation memorized clearly. He thought about whether he could construct a similar formation back at the Ye Castle.

As if disappearing into time itself, Ye Chen had forgotten about the present.

Time ticked away slowly. In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had been in the Sunken Jade Tower for a full month now.

The Second-rank Prince’s Palace in Donglin.

As Qiu Ying and the rest returned, their clothes were disheveled like hobos on the streets. Pitiful was an understatement. Thankfully, Qiu Ying, Liu Kan, and Liu Xun were in one piece. The death of their peak Ninth Level bodyguards did not matter to them.

After freshening up, it was as if they had returned to civilization.
