Chapter 250 - 250: 247: Arrival of the Ziyang Sect_l
Secret techniques for cultivating divine souls can be traced back to the ancient era.
During that era, humans had just been born and had no status on this continent. They struggled against the heavens, the earth, and the various colossal beings that dwelled on the land. Human beings were so insignificant that they were like ants, constantly facing the danger of being wiped out!
Although there was no shortage of ingenious and strange individuals in the ancient times who studied the cultivation methods of demon beasts and became supreme martial artists, the status of mankind on the continent was still somewhat inadequate.
At that time, the Mermaid Clan appeared.
Seeing the plight of humans, the Mermaid Clan decided to help by teaching them prohibition techniques, array formation methods, and so on, complementing each other’s strengths. They also learned alchemy and other skills from humans and gradually started to accept human protection.
It could be said that humans at the time rose to prominence largely due to the Mermaid Clan.
The most critical link was the bestowal of the divine soul technique.
Primitive humans didn’t realize the importance of the Sea of Consciousness, let alone divine soul cultivation methods. It was the Mermaid Clan who taught humans these things, and only then did they understand the power of divine souls. Gradually, humans rose to become a major race on the continent.
In the beginning, the relationship between humans and the Mermaid Clan was friendly, and both races were as close as family.
They intermarried, worked together, and fought against other races!
However, as time went on and humans started to expand their ambitions, some human martial artists coveted the Mermaid Clan’s vast heritage. They began to harm the mermaid race, hoping to unlock even greater mysteries.
Over time, relations between the Mermaid Clan and humans deteriorated, and the Mermaid Clan lost faith in humans, retreating back to the ocean region.
Those mermaids who remained on land became fewer and fewer, almost eradicated by the humans who coveted their heritage.
It must be said that those humans made a wrong choice.
Would a cat teach the tiger its skills without leaving some abilities for itself?
Humans never learned the true ultimate techniques from the Mermaid Clan.
Of course, it was not a lie that the Mermaid Clan’s inherited memory was a treasure trove.
Like this divine soul cultivation technique…
Yang Chen glanced at it and was instantly astonished.
Controlling a Mysterious Flame is the most soul-consuming task because it is a sacred object of heaven and earth. It cannot be controlled by true qi alone, as it would require divine soul power to harness its full potential. However, using divine soul power to control it would consume a considerable amount of divine soul power
“Young Master, how is it?” Cai Hong asked with a smile.
Yang Chen was delighted: “This divine soul cultivation technique is indeed profound. If I practice it, in less than half a year, my divine soul cultivation will be more than three times that of my peers in the same realm.”
This wasn’t even the limit!
If he mastered it, his divine soul realm could surpass experts in the same realm by five times or even more than ten times!
“Unfortunately, there isn’t much time left before the Genius Selection Competition. I’ll just have to make up for as much of my divine soul cultivation as I can during this time.” Yang Chen smiled.
The strength of his divine soul was crucial to him.
The Mermaid Clan was undoubtedly a timely gift like sending charcoal in the snow.
Yang Chen knew that his divine soul power was versatile and not only useful when fighting against others. There were also many other applications, such as alchemy, and the control of his Myriad Star Fire.

“Young Master, you don’t have to worry. Our Mermaid Clan has some secret methods that can temporarily store our divine soul power in your Sea of Consciousness. This can temporarily strengthen your divine soul, so you don’t have to worry about your divine soul cultivation. However, this method doesn’t solve the underlying problem and is not a permanent solution.” Cai Hong explained.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen was stunned: “Such a secret technique exists? Even though it’s not a long-term solution, it undoubtedly solves the current problem.”
Yang Chen grinned.
With the secret divine soul cultivation technique given by the Mermaid Clan, Yang Chen devoted himself wholeheartedly to closed-door cultivation.
Days passed, one by one.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had gone by.
Ten days later, North Mountain Main City!
Gazing at the majestic sight before him, Yang Chen was amazed as he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Zhou Haoran: “Patriarch Zhou, the city ahead should be North Mountain Main City, right?”
“Hehe, of course it is. Besides North Mountain Main City, whose city could be built with such grandeur?” Zhou Haoran smiled faintly.
Yang Chen looked up and saw that the city walls were at least several dozen feet high, and the city itself was so vast that even divine soul power could hardly grasp its full extent. The guards protecting the city walls showed the depth of North Mountain Main City’s foundation.
Those guarding North Mountain Main City’s walls were all in the Yuan Martial Realm, which was not something other cities could compare to.
Experts at the Yuan Martial Realm were considered top-notch fighters in places like Liao City, so how could they be mere gatekeepers?
The reputation of North Mountain County as a dominant power was not an exaggeration.
“We’ve arrived at North Mountain Main City, hehe. Young Master Yang Chen, let’s go.” Zhou Haoran smiled.
Yang Chen nodded and looked around. There were many other families like theirs participating in the Genius Selection Competition. There were at least dozens of tribes, each with their own geniuses and clansmen, coming to the North Mountain Main City. Their purpose was obvious.
Furthermore, there were also some lone martial artists gathered in groups of threes or twos outside the city. The various forces gathered outside the city alone demonstrated the scale and power of North Mountain Main City!
Compared to these powers, the already strong Zhou family became somewhat insignificant.
“Look, that’s the Ziyang Sect’s force!”
“The Ziyang Sect’s force!”
Zhou Haoran glanced at the group of people flying overhead and paused:
“There must be at least a thousand people. With such a scale, it seems that the Ziyang Sect has brought all their disciples eligible to participate in the selection competition. I wonder if the Ziyang Sect will achieve good results this year.”
When Yang Chen heard the name Ziyang Sect, his expression tightened, and he thought of his sister, Yang Caidie. He quickly sent out his divine soul exploration, trying to see the situation within the Ziyang Sect.
However, just as his divine soul tried to probe, it encountered an invisible resistance and could not detect anything.
Yang Chen couldn’t help laughing.. The Ziyang Sect was indeed thorough in protecting their prodigies, even preventing a divine soul exploration!
