Chapter 658 - 623: Go Wherever You Want, Like a Fish in Water

On the Holy Mountain Peak.

Feng Anliang took out a shimmering, cyan jade token and placed it into a groove above the central Void Gate. Immediately, the gate flashed with a dazzling white light, transforming it into what looked like a gateway to Celestial Heaven. It was as if stepping through it would lead one directly there.

If certain people were to see this, they would have exclaimed, "It’s God!"

As the white light slowly faded, the space where the gate stood began to twist and distort, solidifying into a Void Gate. This was the passage to the Profound Void Grotto Heaven, the entrance to the Merak Sacred Land.

"This is the Void Passage to the Merak Sacred Land. The only way in or out is with the Sect’s permission and a Profound Void Order. Otherwise, it’s impossible to leave the Profound Void Grotto Heaven!"

A look of pride swelled in Feng Anliang as he gazed at the Void Passage. It was the pride of being a disciple of the Merak Sacred Land, a pride he took in the Sect itself.

Sikong Qing, who stood to the side, felt much the same.

As disciples of the Merak Sacred Land, they enjoyed the benefits it provided and naturally felt a strong sense of belonging.

Besides, the Merak Sacred Land was one of the most powerful forces on the Taiyu Divine Continent.

On the Taiyu Divine Continent, Blood Exchange Martial Saints represented the pinnacle of combat power. The experts of this level within the various Holy Lands were considered the absolute peak. If there was any disparity in strength between these factions, it came down to the number of Blood Exchange Martial Saint experts each possessed. However, with the protection of a Super Array, such a gap could easily be offset.

Therefore, while there might be friction between the major powers, it rarely escalated to the point of annihilating a Sect. Each had deep foundations, and it was rare for a Holy Land to be utterly destroyed.

The few that had run into trouble were those who got involved with the Emperor Dao National Fate and then mysteriously declined and fell. It was for this very reason that the major Holy Lands did not participate in the changing of Imperial Dynasties and rarely took the initiative to meddle in affairs that could influence national fate.

This was also why the Taiyin Saintess, despite coveting Yang Chan’s Physique so greatly, was ultimately forced to give up.

"Let’s go!"

Feng Anliang led the way, stepping directly into the Void Gate and vanishing.

Sikong Qing followed close behind.

Seeing this, Yang Chan and the others followed Liu Xuan’s group inside.

The Void Passage wasn’t particularly strange. Those who had entered Secret Realms like Taiyin Heaven and the Purple Void Secret Realm had seen such things before.

The only difference was that this particular Void Passage was opened and controlled by a person.

"Actually, there is another way. As long as you are strong enough to tear through these special spaces, you can leave them with ease."

"If you can find the spatial coordinates from the outside world, you can also tear open space and force your way into these special pocket dimensions."

"The Purple Void Secret Realm you visited before is one such place. I have memorized its spatial coordinates, but your strength must be sufficient. You’d basically need to break through to the Divine Acupoint Realm to force your way in."

"However, you have that item the Array Spirit from the Solitary Void Trial Array gave you, so you could use that to re-enter the Purple Void Secret Realm. The prerequisite, though, is finding a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array. Otherwise, with your current Cultivation, you wouldn’t be able to withstand the Array Spirit’s wrath!"

This telepathic message that reached Yang Chan’s ears came from Black Dragon.

All limitations boiled down to a lack of strength.

With enough strength, one could shatter all restrictions and achieve true freedom.

The freedom to go wherever one pleased!

’Strength is what matters most!’

Hearing this, Yang Chan understood what was truly crucial. He took a step into the Void Passage.

His next goal for a breakthrough in Potential Points lay here, in the Merak Sacred Land.

Yang Chan’s purpose for joining the Merak Sacred Land wasn’t just to maintain his daily income of Potential Points, but to achieve another breakthrough with them.

His current Potential Points started with a twenty, which wasn’t enough for Yang Chan. The stronger his Martial Arts Cultivation became, the more Potential Points he would need to maintain his rapid advancement.

Furthermore, if life in the Merak Sacred Land proved to be relatively safe, he would also spend some time cultivating a few more Health Cultivation Techniques to continue increasing his Lifespan and, while at it, his Talent.

Talent wasn’t helpful when using Potential Points to advance his Martial Arts Cultivation, but it was very effective when it came to studying and diligent Cultivation.

The higher a technique’s Skill Level, the stricter the requirements to reach the Beginner stage, and the longer it would take. Increasing his Talent could save him some of that time.

Besides, as Black Dragon had mentioned, some special Advanced Techniques had unique requirements for their Cultivation, such as demanding extremely high Talent just to reach the Beginner stage.

It was just like the Taiyuan Soul Sword he was cultivating. The prerequisite for it was comprehending the Sword Domain. Before he had comprehended the Sword Domain, it was impossible to even reach the Beginner stage of cultivation.

To continue advancing it in the future, his Sword Dao would also need to keep improving. Otherwise, he would get stuck.

The reason Yang Chan had been able to cultivate the Taiyuan Soul Sword to Tier Three Mastery was because his Sword Master class had reached Tier Three, allowing him to comprehend the Sword Domain.

As for trying to level it up directly by adding points first, Yang Chan hadn’t attempted it. That method might have consumed far more Potential Points. Instead, by first advancing his Sword Master class, he had greatly increased the efficiency of improving his Taiyuan Soul Sword, saving him a large number of Potential Points.

Such an experiment was a bit of a luxury for the current Yang Chan. He decided to focus on improving his Cultivation first and try it later, once he was invincible.

He had a long Lifespan and would have plenty of time for experiments in the future.

When Black Dragon sensed that Yang Chan had comprehended the Sword Domain, it had worn an expression of utter disbelief. It had looked at Yang Chan as if he were a monster.

This was because even Black Dragon itself had only reached the Second Step Sword Stance in its Sword Dao, and its Taiyuan Soul Sword was likewise only at Tier Two.
