Chapter 506 Conditions (1/2)

The Cangxuan Sect was wrapped in a busy and excited atmosphere.

However, Zhou Yuan paid no heed to any of this, hiding himself deep in the mountains as he poured all of his heart and soul into practicing the Omega Saint Spirit Art.

The Omega Saint Spirit Art was a high grade Heaven Genesis technique, which was also the highest level of technique he had ever come into contact with over the years. He was naturally filled with expectation towards it, and was dying to witness its powers first hand.

...

Deep in the old mountains.

Zhou Yuan was seated atop a giant boulder overlooking a deep gorge. His expression was solemn as he concentrated every fibre of being on the glowing ball of Genesis Qi between his palms.

Within the ball was a mysterious light that seemed similar to primal chaos, making it impossible to clearly see inside.

The primal chaos like ball of light was the Saint Spirit Seed Zhou Yuan was attempting to create.

Ten Genesis Beast Spirits had already been refined and fused into this seed. Zhou Yuan had discovered that the difficulty would increase with every Beast Spirit he successfully fused in.

As the number of fused Beast Spirits increased, the incomplete Saint Spirit Seed grew more and more complex. All it would take was a slight mistake for the seed to collapse and fall apart.

If that happened, all of his hard work would go up in smoke.

Zhou Yuan gazed at the slowly stabilizing Saint Spirit Seed between his palms. With a wave of his hand, another Beast Spirit crystal flew out from a copper chest beside him.

The copper chest was currently filled to the brim with Beast Spirit crystals.

Over the last ten days, Zhou Yuan used up many many Beast Spirit crystals. If not for Saint Genesis Peak’s support, he would run out of resources long ago.

This made Zhou Yuan sigh somewhat. Cultivation resources were indeed far too important on the path of cultivation.

However, he was also quite horrified at his progress after using up so many Beast Spirit crystals. So far, he had managed to fuse ten Beast Spirits into the seed, and was still very far off from ninety, let alone the final nine core Beast Spirits...

Zhou Yuan looked at the floating crystal in front of him as he lamented. He had only managed to achieve such progress due to his Spirit cultivation that was far more advanced than any ordinary person. Otherwise, it would basically be impossible to achieve a fusion of ten Beast Spirits within ten days.

After lamenting a little, Zhou Yuan directed the Beast Spirit crystal to slowly descend towards the primal chaos like Saint Spirit Seed, before they ultimately touched.

Bzz Bzz!

Chaotic undulations immediately erupted, causing Zhou Yuan’s expression to tense. His Spirit senses rapidly circled around the seed, neutralizing and resolving the clashing undulations.

However, there were far too many clashing undulations, causing him to be a little flustered for a time.

“The Beast Spirit fusion process is far too complicated. It’s still crazily difficult though the wills of the Beast Spirits have already been wiped clean.” A grave look flitted across Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he did all he could to stabilize the seed.

While he was fully focused on eliminating the chaotic undulations from the seed, a thought suddenly struck him.

“I wonder if… the Decoder Saint Rune will work…”

The Decoder Saint Rune was one of the four Saint Runes. It was not offense oriented, but more analytical in nature, and was especially effective against Genesis techniques.

Previously, Zhou Yuan had just barely managed to control the situation with his Spirit senses, but as the number of fused Beast Spirits slowly increased, things were becoming more and more difficult.

If Zhou Yuan had enough time to slowly work on the seed, he was confident that he would be able to complete it in a year. However, with the Genesis reservoir ceremony fast approaching, he needed to raise his strength as quickly as possible.

While such thoughts flitted across his mind, Zhou Yuan cast away his hesitation. With a thought, a mysterious glowing rune began to flow out from the depths of his pupils.

The Decoder Saint Rune!

The world before him immediately began to change. Zhou Yuan stared at the primal chaos like ball of light between his palms, as the previously unviewable places became impossibly clear in his eyes.

Most importantly, he found the source of the seemingly endless chaotic undulations inside the bundle of light, the resistance from two different Beast Spirits fusing.

It was due to this disharmony that made the fusion process become very problematic.

As long as he precisely eliminated and suppressed the sources of disharmony and chaos, the fusion process would become smooth.

“It works!”

Zhou Yuan was overjoyed. Since he could now see the sources of disharmony, things would undoubtedly become much simpler.

While Zhou Yuan was elated, his control over the seed weakened a little, allowing one of the chaotic undulations to spread, causing a chain reaction that began a series of explosions.

Bang!

The ball of light between Zhou Yuan’s hands exploded, turning into smoke that quickly faded away.

The Saint Spirit Seed embryo was gone just like that.

Zhou Yuan was stunned, but did not feel any regret. Instead, a smile emerged on his face. His guess had not been wrong, the Decoder Saint Rune had once again displayed its near magical abilities.

Next, he only needed to use the Decoder Saint Rune’s miraculous powers to cultivate the Saint Spirit Seed, which would drastically improve his chances of success.

However, it was also good to note that the Decoder Saint Rune would only allow him to discover the sources of resistance and disharmony in advance, and he would still have to rely on his own abilities to suppress them before they spread.

Regardless, Zhou Yuan was now confident in cultivating the Saint Spirit Seed with the aid of the Decoder Saint Rune.
