103: Blessed by the celestial abode!

Countless Origin Qi transformed into land, grass, and trees; the entire Grotto-Heaven space was filled with vitality.

Within the void, Origin Qi automatically turned into a gentle breeze, flowing through the Grotto-Heaven space, giving the entire area a sense of spiritual movement and removing its previous rigidity.

"Is this a Grotto-Heaven? It's like a small world! Truly extraordinary!" Zhang Yang closed his eyes to experience the Grotto-Heaven opened within his Sea of Consciousness, a smile appearing on his face.

With a thought, a crack appeared in the space before Zhang Yang, which then slowly vanished.

Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction. After breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, opening a spatial gate was much simpler; it felt as effortless as instinct, with hardly any consumption.

"How is it? What changes are there in your Grotto-Heaven?" Xie Chonghe asked from the side, his voice full of curiosity.

Zhang Yang described the various scenes within his Grotto-Heaven.

"It actually already has vegetation, soil, and a breeze?" Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Xie Chonghe looked surprised.

One must know that for ordinary Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists, the Grotto-Heaven they opened was just a lifeless space, much like a Storage Ring, only significantly larger.

Yet Zhang Yang had only just broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, and his Grotto-Heaven already had soil, plants, and a breeze—the breeze being the most important.

This meant the Grotto-Heaven possessed vitality; the Origin Qi could flow, which was enough to allow living things to survive within it.

This was extremely rare. Even some Divine Ruins Realm Martial Artists couldn't achieve this, unless they could independently comprehend a Heaven-rank Martial Skill while in the Divine Ruins Realm and survive the Tribulation of Creation.

Otherwise, ordinary Martial Artists could only store living things in their Grotto-Heaven after reaching the Venerable King Realm.

Yet Zhang Yang could store living things in his Grotto-Heaven while still in the Grotto-Heaven Realm; this was incredibly rare.

"I will teach you a set of incantations! Try it and see what the effect is!"

Xie Chonghe raised his hand and pointed; a beam of spiritual light shot into Zhang Yang's Sea of Consciousness. Instantly, Zhang Yang understood the specifics of the incantation.

This incantation was used by Venerable King Realm Martial Artists to drive the power of the Grotto-Heaven to bless themselves; it could only be activated if there was Origin Qi flow within the Grotto-Heaven.

Zhang Yang activated the incantation. As the Origin Qi in his internal Grotto-Heaven flowed, it brought him infinite empowerment.

"Mm! My strength has nearly doubled!" Zhang Yang felt the power of this incantation and couldn't help but nod.

This incantation could actually nearly double his strength without any side effects, although it only lasted for two hours.

But this was enough to defeat enemies in battle.

Moreover! Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't just have this incantation; his dao rhyme golden core had recently evolved, and the mark on his Dantian could also double his strength.

If he added this incantation's blessing, Zhang Yang's strength would far exceed his current Realm.

"How is the effect?" Xie Chonghe asked, standing nearby.

"It's alright. After activating the incantation, my strength nearly doubled!" Zhang Yang nodded and deactivated the incantation.

"Not bad!" Hearing this, Xie Chonghe nodded in satisfaction.

For an ordinary Divine Ruins Realm or Venerable King Realm Martial Artist, the boost from this incantation was usually only twenty to thirty percent.

But for a Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artist like Zhang Yang, the boost was a hundred percent. It could be said the effect was extremely powerful.

"Here, see for yourself! Remember to return to the Clear Wind Sect before you leave the Southern Region!" Xie Chonghe tossed over a Secret Manual and then vanished.

His purpose for coming here was merely to witness Zhang Yang create a Heaven-rank Martial Skill and break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm. Now that his goal was achieved, it was time for him to return.

"Yes, Revered Master!" Zhang Yang caught the Secret Manual. With a sweep of his Primordial Spirit, he knew the contents within.

It contained some basic information on how to Cultivate in the Grotto-Heaven Realm and a Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill.

Cultivation in the Grotto-Heaven Realm involved comprehending Laws and refining the various Laws one perceived into the Grotto-Heaven to increase its area.

For every hundred miles the Grotto-Heaven's radius increased, one's cultivation would rise by one layer.

Once the Grotto-Heaven's area reached a radius of nine hundred and ninety-nine miles, one could prepare to break through to the Divine Ruins Realm.

To break through to the Divine Ruins Realm, there were also requirements for Law Comprehension; one had to reach at least the seventh level of Law.

Some Martial Artists would stay at that level for their entire lives, unable to break through.

"My current cultivation should be at the limit of the Cave Heaven Realm First Layer?"

Zhang Yang felt the pressure of heaven and earth pressing down on him from all sides. If not for this suppression, Zhang Yang could have instantly broken through to the second or even third layer of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

"It seems it's time to prepare for the journey to the Central State!"

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment. His current progress in Law Intent had slowed down. Even cultivating Joyful Zen had become somewhat slow for increasing Law Intent.

It seemed that the fourth level of Law Intent was the limit for Joyful Zen.

Zhang Yang had a premonition that once his Law Intent reached the fourth level, cultivating Joyful Zen would no longer be effective, and he would have to find something of a higher grade.

However, the Soul Link he had created by fusing numerous Cultivation Techniques still had some utility.

Zhang Yang estimated it could support his Law Intent cultivation up to around the sixth level.

While he had this method to increase the speed of Law Intent comprehension, Zhang Yang had an even faster way.

"System, simplify Law Comprehension for me."

That's right, it was the simplification system. Previously, Zhang Yang couldn't simplify it because he didn't have a Grotto-Heaven in his body, so he couldn't comprehend Laws and could only rely on Joyful Zen or Soul Link to improve.

But now that Zhang Yang had broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, this restriction was gone, and he could naturally simplify it.

[Ding! Law Comprehension simplification in progress... Simplification successful!]

[Ding! Simplification result: Project the Yang Spirit out of the body! Commune with Heaven and Earth!]

Looking at this simplification result, Zhang Yang frowned slightly.

Although his Yang Spirit was incomparably powerful and leaving his body wasn't a major issue, it was his Yang Spirit after all; if it were injured, the damage would be significant.

While this simplification result was acceptable, it wasn't perfect.

When Zhang Yang was out and about, he couldn't keep his Yang Spirit projected at all times; that would be too conspicuous and too foolish.

If someone were to injure his Yang Spirit, it might take a long time to recover.

With a thought, the Yang Spirit leaped out from his Sea of Consciousness and stood above his head.

Then, the entire Yang Spirit turned ethereal, merging with heaven and earth to comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

In an instant, Zhang Yang felt the progress of his Law Intent slowly increasing.

"This speed is not bad! As expected of the simplification system!" Zhang Yang felt the growth rate of his Law Intent and nodded in satisfaction.

At this rate, in less than a month, his Law Intent level would rise to the fourth level.

Compared to an ordinary Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artist, this was undoubtedly countless times faster.

Some Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists couldn't even raise their Law Intent by a single level in their entire lives.

Furthermore, after reaching the Grotto-Heaven Realm, comprehending others' Law insights required filtering out their individual understandings; the best way was to use the Heaven And Earth Treasures born of nature in the Central State to refine law pills.

But these Heaven And Earth Treasures were undoubtedly extremely precious, and even for Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists, obtaining them was very difficult.

Yet Zhang Yang only needed to project his Yang Spirit to commune with heaven and earth to raise his level.

This point alone was enough to make countless Martial Artists envious.
