Chapter 487: 445 Chapter Selection
"The Divine Body Cultivation Skills below the Divine Venerable Realm that can be practiced, is this technique the strongest?"
Hearing the words of the Spirit Light Child, Ye Chen felt a tightening in his heart.
Of course, he wanted to practice the most powerful Divine Body Cultivation Skills!
Moreover, according to the stele in front of this secret chamber, after completing the first three volumes, he could even meet the Heavenly Cloud Venerable.
The Heavenly Cloud Venerable was the mighty being of the Divine Venerable Realm who had established the Minor Pole Sky!
Ye Chen certainly wanted to meet such a personage!
For a moment, Ye Chen became greatly interested in Chamber No. 81 and the "Undying Divine Body" Cultivation Skills within it.
Stay connected through empire
However, Ye Chen also had some doubts, "If this technique is the strongest, then why is it placed in Chamber No. 81? Why not in a chamber further back?"
There were a total of eighty-eight chambers here.
Ye Chen had noticed a pattern: the closer to the deeper chambers, the more precious the treasures or Cultivation Techniques inside.
At this moment, hearing the Spirit Light Child say that the "Undying Divine Body" within Chamber No. 81 was the most precious certainly made Ye Chen curious. When Ye Chen sent his divine sense to look at the steles in the chambers further behind, he could see that there were Cultivation Skills for the Divine Body in the three chambers following.
Logic dictated that the techniques in the back should be more precious.
The Spirit Light Child chuckled at Ye Chen and said, "Master, this 'Undying Divine Body' is indeed the most precious. However, it has nine volumes in total, and only the first three volumes are placed here, unlike the complete Divine Body Cultivation Skills that are behind."
"Moreover, this 'Undying Divine Body' is extremely difficult to cultivate, and many people simply cannot fully comprehend the first three volumes, much less have the opportunity to meet the great Heavenly Cloud Venerable and ask for the latter skills. Therefore, this set of skills is placed in Chamber No. 81."
"But if you really complete the first three volumes and obtain the latter six, this Divine Body Cultivation Skills set will definitely be the most powerful in the Infinity God Temple."
So that's how it is.
The skill set was incomplete and extremely difficult to cultivate, so it was placed a bit closer to the front.
Ye Chen nodded.
Ye Chen still had another doubt at the bottom of his heart, "Spirit Light Child, is it possible to practice this set of Divine Body Cultivation Skills with other Divine Body techniques?"
This was Ye Chen's most pressing concern.
After all, Ye Chen still intended to cultivate the Icebound Divine Body. If the "Undying Divine Body" couldn't be practiced alongside the Icebound Divine Body, then he would have to look for other Divine Body Cultivation Skills.
"Master, the reason why the Undying Divine Body is so powerful is not only because of the 'Nine Transformations, Immortal and Indestructible' mighty abilities it possesses but also because of its compatibility. This set of Divine Body Cultivation Skills can be practiced by almost anyone, including those with other Divine Body foundations. The only requirement is extremely high comprehension in cultivation. While anyone can practice it, mastering it to a profound level is extremely difficult."
Can anyone practice it?
Even those with other Divine Body foundations can practice it?!
Hearing this, Ye Chen finally exhaled in relief.
At least this meant he could practice this set of skills alongside the Icebound Divine Body.
As for the difficulty in understanding the skills, that wasn't Ye Chen's primary concern.
After all, Ye Chen could still cultivate the Icebound Divine Body. Even if this set of skills couldn't be practiced completely, being able to strengthen it to a certain extent was quite good.
"Let's take a good look at this set of skills and the chambers further back before making a decision," Ye Chen thoroughly examined the inscriptions on the stele in front of him.
Since each person could only choose one chamber to practice in, Ye Chen would certainly not make a hasty decision.
He had to carefully make his selection.
While Ye Chen was choosing a chamber, Tian Li, Zhao Xin, and four young descendants of the Great General frequently glanced over at him.
Seeing that Ye Chen was continuously discussing with the Spirit Light Child through sound transmission, obviously interested in Chamber No. 81, Tian Li became increasingly anxious.
What Tian Li wanted the most was Chamber No. 81!
Unfortunately, Ye Chen was making his selection before him. If Ye Chen chose it, then he would have no hope left.
"It's over; I completely forgot about the reminder from the Spirit Light Child."
"This Ye Chen, having obtained a sixty-two star Spirit Light Child, must be incredibly clever, knowing a great deal. It's likely that it has told Ye Chen a lot about the Undying Divine Body."
Tian Li's feelings became worse, and his heart grew even more worried.
It wasn't until he saw Ye Chen walk away from Chamber No. 81 towards the chambers further back that his heart finally eased a little.
The time of one incense stick quickly passed.
After the time to view the eighty-eight training chambers ended, everyone returned to the side hall they had been in before.
"Brother Ye Chen, have you picked a chamber to your liking?" whispered Fang Hua to Ye Chen through sound transmission from the crowd.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded.
He truly had several options in mind but had to first see the choice of the Little Provincial Princess, who ranked before him.
Seeing Ye Chen's expression, Fang Hua was filled with envy, "Brother Ye Chen, you ranked second in the test and can choose second, so you have many options for the chambers. I'm ranked thirty-seventh, and I'm afraid I won't be able to choose a very precious chamber, sigh."
"Everyone must have their eye on a chamber, right?" Seeing that all the martial artists had returned to the side hall, God King Wucan said with a smile, "Now then, let's decide your training chambers in the order of selection."
"First up, the Little Provincial Princess, come and make your chamber selection," God King Wucan directly addressed the Little Provincial Princess.
Ye Chen also looked towards the Little Provincial Princess.
What he wanted the most was Chamber No. 81, recommended by the Spirit Light Child, which contained the first three volumes of the Undying Divine Body.
However, if the Little Provincial Princess chose that chamber, he could only choose his second preference, Chamber No. 87.
Yet the Little Provincial Princess, with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, glanced at Divine Venerable Hong Zhu beside her and said, "I choose Chamber No. 88!"
Chamber No. 88?! Not Chamber No. 81!
A weight lifted from Ye Chen's heart.
Chamber No. 88 contained a set of Divine Body Cultivation Skills called "Purple Flame Divine Body."
Ye Chen had noticed during his previous observations that this set of skills was particularly suitable for female martial artists to cultivate, and unexpectedly, the Little Provincial Princess had decided on this chamber.
Hearing the Little Provincial Princess choose her chamber, God King Wucan nodded and said, "Chamber No. 88 can only be cultivated by one person. For this month of cultivation time, Chamber No. 88 belongs to the Little Provincial Princess."
Then, God King Wucan looked towards Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you're second in line, now it's your turn to choose."
When she heard that it was Ye Chen's turn to pick a chamber, the Little Provincial Princess also looked towards him curiously.
Meanwhile, the hearts of the other three young men from the Great Generals' lineage, who also wanted Chamber No. 81, were hanging by a thread, and Tian Li was the most anxious, his gaze fixated on Ye Chen.
As long as Ye Chen did not choose Chamber No. 81, he would be able to secure it next.
But as Tian Li was gripping his heart tightly with tension, he heard Ye Chen say with a light smile, "I choose, Chamber No. 81!"
Boom!
Ye Chen's words struck like thunder in Tian Li's mind.
It was over; the chamber he coveted for cultivation was gone.
The other three young men were somewhat better off, as they had anticipated that even if Ye Chen didn't choose that chamber, Tian Li would have taken it first. With this in mind, although there was a slight change in their expressions, they were somewhat more at ease.
"Hehe, Brother Ye Chen, you've chosen a good chamber. Just look at Tian Li and the others; they must hate you to death now. They certainly wanted that chamber!"
After making his decision, Ye Chen suddenly heard the Little Provincial Princess's telepathic message.
"Little Provincial Princess?" Ye Chen looked towards the Little Provincial Princess, only to see the mischievous little girl wink at him.
Turning his gaze back to the four young men, Ye Chen indeed saw that Tian Li, Zhao Xin, and the other two had unpleased expressions, obviously disappointed that the chamber they longed for had been chosen.
Since only he and the Little Provincial Princess had made their selections thus far, with Chamber No. 88 clearly being suitable only for a female martial artist to cultivate in, it couldn't have been the chamber these four men wished for.
That left only the chamber he chose as the one these four young men desired.
Seeing their expressions, Ye Chen could only give a helpless smile and shake his head.
Naturally, he was not going to offer this chamber to these four.
He wasn't close to them, so there was no need to curry favor, and besides, he also wanted to further enhance his strength in this chamber.
Strength was of utmost importance.
It was through strength that he, among the descendants of the four Great Generals, managed to choose a chamber first.
Tian Li and the others were extremely frustrated.
Even though their elders were a bit stronger than the Heavenly Cloud Venerable, they weren't that much stronger, and once they arrived at the Minor Pole Sky secret realm, they had to follow its rules.
Besides, they had agreed to abide by the bet.
They had not outdone Ye Chen in the previous tests, so they couldn't blame anyone else.
Even though they were descendants of important figures in the Divine Kingdom, they had to accept the outcome.
"Good choice, Chamber No. 81 is indeed a very precious chamber," said God King Wucan, nodding at Ye Chen's decision.
God King Wucan surely knew which among the eighty-eight chambers was the most valuable.
"Ye Chen, I hope you can successfully cultivate the first three volumes and have the opportunity to meet the esteemed Heavenly Cloud Venerable in the future," God King Wucan said to Ye Chen with a smile.
After encouraging Ye Chen, God King Wucan turned to Tian Li, "Tian Li, it's your third turn to choose now."
Tian Li, still wearing a look of dejection, could only helplessly state his second option, "I choose Chamber No. 83."
...
Soon, everyone had selected their cultivation chambers.
Most of the remaining chambers among the eighty-eight were for group cultivation, and since the single cultivation chambers were all chosen, the selection process was rather convenient.
After everyone was done choosing, God King Wucan announced to all, "Now that everyone has made their choices, enter your respective cultivation chambers and begin a month of cultivation."
"One month from now, we'll reconvene here, and I'll take you to the first location for the assessment and competition!"
"You've seen how the ranking from the previous test determined the preciousness of your first cultivation chamber. So, you must work even harder during this month of cultivation, striving for good results in the subsequent assessments and competitions. Because those results will also determine the value of your future cultivation locations!"
"If you don't want to end up selecting last again, then make good use of this month of cultivation time, and during the assessments, achieve your best results!"
