376: Chapter 376 Realm Suppression

Ye Mo returned, and his children all came to see him, but after staying for ten days or half a month, they all went back.

During this period, Immortal King Guang Churou and more than a dozen Golden Immortal Old Ancestors also came once.

Immortal King Guang Churou looked at Ning Le beside Ye Mo and nearly popped her eyes out.

She did not expect that in just a few thousand years, Ye Mo had actually found an Immortal King Dao Companion; she had to sigh that Ye Mo certainly had a knack for finding Dao Companions.

The dozen or so Golden Immortal Old Ancestors were also completely convinced. Initially, when they learned that the God King could not return, they all felt that Ye Mo would definitely not be able to turn things around this time. They never expected that after Ye Mo went missing for three hundred years, he would display the strength of an Immortal King.

Now, having been gone for three or four thousand years, he returned with an Immortal King Dao Companion.

This was truly incomparable.

It was just that when Ye Mo annihilated the Zhao Family back then, they had only watched coldly from the sidelines, so now it was difficult for them to say anything.

However, Ye Mo's next words made them both shocked and delighted.

"I can let bygones be bygones regarding previous matters, but you must pay something in return," Ye Mo said indifferently.

"Whatever Immortal King Ye needs us to do, just say the word," the dozen Old Ancestors said, looking anxious.

"For your sixteen Golden Immortal Families, each Family must find me at least sixty women of the Immortal Purple Spirit Root; if they have an Immortal-level Physique, that would be even better," Ye Mo said.

Ye Mo did not need to travel back to the Lower Realm now.

Naturally, he needed more Dao Companions.

It was much more convenient to find them from these large families.

And the more, the better, to avoid having one person give birth to too many, which would look very abnormal.

"Just this?"

Their families had almost all developed for tens of millions of years; finding dozens of Immortal Purple Spirit Roots was truly not difficult.

"That's all for now. Remember to be quick; I want to see people in these few days."

Ye Mo's current women were all pregnant.

He did not want to waste his One Hit Kill opportunity.

"They are already on the way. My Lin Family has thirty people in the first batch. After I go back, I will gather the clansmen on other planets."

Upon hearing that Ye Mo wanted to find Dao Companions, Ancestor Lin Wanshan immediately sent a voice transmission to his Family, ordering the clansmen to immediately bring over all women in the clan with the Immortal Purple Spirit Root.

As soon as he said this, the other Old Ancestors cursed him as an old fox in their hearts, then immediately flashed away to return to their respective families.

Beside him, Ning Le looked at Ye Mo suspiciously, then touched her own stomach.

"Are you wondering why my women get pregnant so easily?" Ye Mo smiled and asked.

Ning Le immediately nodded.

"Actually, I'm not sure either. It might be because of my Physique. This can be considered my talent, so I don't want to waste it and will leave as many seeds as possible," Ye Mo answered.

"This is the first time I've heard of such a Physique."

Ning Le looked incredulous.

But it seemed there was no other explanation besides his Physique.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Tell me properly about the Origin, source artifacts, and Source Arts."

Ye Mo now planned to first refine the Origin of the four Immortal Kings he had absorbed before proceeding to Breakthrough.

Because even if he broke through to Profound Immortal, Ye Mo's spiritual power value would not reach the Immortal Emperor level, whereas refining the Origin would greatly enhance Ye Mo's strength.

"Alright. Actually, whether it is Source Power, source artifacts, or Source Arts, they are all divided into Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Top Grade."

"For example, I am currently at the Elementary Origin, and the source artifacts I can nourish are only in the Early Stage. The predecessor of a source artifact is an Immortal Artifact. Theoretically, the higher the grade of the Immortal Artifact, the stronger the nurtured source artifact will be. Therefore, when choosing an Immortal Artifact to nourish, we must use an upgradeable one so that it can be upgraded later when we break through to Immortal Lord or even Immortal Emperor."

"Of course, very few people can break through to Immortal Lord, so most people only choose Grade 6 Immortal Artifacts. Moreover, for the sake of the source artifact's power, they choose Immortal Artifacts that cannot be upgraded further."

"As for Source Arts, just like Spells and Immortal Arts, they are all meant to allow Source Power to be unleashed to a greater extent. Most Source Arts are evolved from Immortal Arts."

"There is one more thing: using Origin to break through Realms, while not the only standard, if the Origin is strong enough, it can greatly increase the probability of a Breakthrough. After reaching the Immortal King Realm, there exists a huge Bottleneck even for a small Realm. Using Origin to impact not only increases the probability but can also speed up the Breakthrough."

Ning Le explained them one by one.

"I am curious about one thing. Although Origin is powerful, its quantity is limited after all, and cultivation is very slow, and there are no auxiliary Medicinal Pills. If an Immortal King and an Immortal Lord possess the same amount of Origin, does that mean their strength is equal?"

Previously, when Ye Mo fought those Immortal Kings, although Ye Mo did not have much Origin and did not use it, Ye Mo's Immortal power was an absolute advantage.

Ye Mo discovered that using his own Immortal power seemed to be able to suppress the Origin of those Immortal Kings.

If that were really the case, his strength might not necessarily be weaker than those Immortal Lords, especially some Early Stage Immortal Lords.

"How is that possible? Not to mention having similar Origin, even if an Immortal Lord had no Origin, it would be almost impossible for an Immortal King to defeat an Immortal Lord. I don't know if you have heard of the concept of Realm Suppression."

Realm Suppression, simply put, is when one's Immortal power and Primordial Spirit power are far superior to the opponent's.

This is like Ye Mo using Thousand-Mile Ice Seal to Seal Ning Le.

Even if Ning Le's Source Power is very strong and can break through Ye Mo's Seal.

But under Ye Mo's powerful Immortal power, no matter if Ning Le uses Immortal Arts or Source Arts, she will be hindered and it will even be difficult for her to cast them.

After one's cultivation enters the Immortal King Realm, the spiritual power value difference between each small Realm is ten million or even hundreds of millions.

This gap is very large.

Therefore, many people, even if their cultivation is slower, will still choose to Cultivate powerful Cultivation Techniques to increase their spiritual power value.

Because once one reaches the Immortal King Realm, cultivating techniques is easier than breaking through Realms.

According to what Ye Mo knew, the Cultivation Techniques cultivated by Immortal Kings are divided into five grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, and Mortal.

The Cultivation Technique Ye Mo cultivated, gifted by the System, was actually a Mortal-grade technique with no spiritual power bonus.

And for Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, each grade doubles the spiritual power value.

A Heaven-Grade technique is almost five times that of a Mortal-grade technique.

What Ning Le said about it being almost impossible for an Immortal King to defeat an Immortal Lord is actually based on the premise of cultivating the same grade of technique.

If an Immortal King at Perfection stage Cultivates a Heaven-Grade technique, his spiritual power value might even exceed that of an Early Stage Immortal Lord.

This is without even counting the Clone situation.

Of course, combat power cannot be simply viewed through spiritual power value; there are also Immortal Arts and Immortal Artifacts.

The higher the Realm, the higher the level of Immortal Artifact one can use.

Their power is also vastly different.

Therefore, the possibility of an Immortal King wanting to defeat an Immortal Lord is not very high.

This is also the main reason why Ye Mo wanted to wait until the Late Stage of Immortal Lord before Ascending.
