Condensing Spirit into an Infant, Achieving the Infant God Realm

[After returning to the Ye Family Ancestral Land, you took out the Treasure Pearl. Yet no matter how you examined it, you could not discern its purpose. You then took out the Heavenly Mechanism Chessboard and began deducing, receiving a prompt from the Heaven Grade Chessboard. You dripped several drops of blood onto the Treasure Pearl.

After your blood fell onto the Treasure Pearl, it was completely absorbed. Soon, the pearl's aura began to change. In an instant, its appearance transformed drastically. When you saw its new form, a suspicion arose in your heart—the altered Treasure Pearl was somewhat similar to the Dragon Pearls you had seen before.

The Treasure Pearl's transformation had not yet ended. Half a quarter-hour later, it had completely taken on the appearance of a Dragon Pearl, and its aura was no longer comparable to before. It had become a true supreme treasure.]

[That same year, you refined this Young Dragon's Pearl. Your Dragon Bloodline rose from 20% to 30%, your talent's cultivation speed increased slightly, your physique and strength improved slightly, and the power of your Dragon Clan Martial Skills increased greatly.]

[In the 345th year, you successfully condensed your Spirit Condensation into an infant, and your realm broke through to the Early Infant God Realm. Because the place where you lived was protected by a formation—the Half-Saint Grade Formation outside the house in the ruins—the aura of your breakthrough did not leak out.]

[That same year, you thoroughly looted all the Ordinary Secret Realms recorded in the previous Simulation that had yet to be discovered. Your funds increased slightly. At the same time, you once again had people investigate the Secret Realms discovered over the years, recording them in a book after confirming their accuracy.]

[In the 367th year, under your vigorous cultivation, Zhang Tianhuo successfully refined a furnace of High-grade Earth Grade pills for the first time, becoming a High-grade Earth Rank Alchemist. Not long before, Zhang Tianhuo had broken through to the Mid Heavenly Origin Realm. You gave him the last Void God Treasure Pill in your possession.]

[In the 369th year, you painted your first Profound Grade High Rank Painting. Although a Profound Grade High Rank Pseudo Beast could contend against a Late Heavenly Origin Realm Demonic Beast, it had long since been left far behind by your strength. In recent years, your painting had also improved more and more slowly. You were not surprised by this. You understood that your talent in the Painting Dao was simply limited to this extent, while your martial talent had long become extraordinarily high as your Dragon Bloodline and Bone Structure improved.

It was only that as your cultivation rose, your wife Jiang Wen found it increasingly difficult to become pregnant. Although your life together was now far more frequent than before, this was also the helplessness of high-cultivation Martial Artists. Fortunately, you already had three children, so you had no regrets in this regard.]

[In the 370th year, after the first Bloodline Essence you condensed following your breakthrough into the Infant God Realm was consumed by your three children, their cultivation improved considerably. As Ye Chen was already not far from the Mid Void God Realm, he began breaking through on the spot. With your protection, Ye Chen safely advanced to the Mid Void God Realm.

Although you were gratified that your children had achieved such accomplishments, you still kept a stern face and patiently lectured the three of them on principles—things like how there were always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens, and that they could not become arrogant and unruly merely because their strength had improved a little. The three of them had long grown accustomed to this. They had listened to such grand principles for more than three hundred years and understood their father's temperament well, so they obediently listened through your two-hour lecture.]

[In the 423rd year, you received word that a high-level Trade Fair would be held in Jiangdu, the capital of Jiang State, this year. A Half-Saint Grade Dragon Pearl would appear in this trade. Normally, dragons with Dragon Bloodlines reaching 50% could attain Yao Saint Level strength after reaching adulthood, corresponding to Saint Level cultivation among the Human Race.

This Dragon Pearl came from an adult dragon. Judging from that, this dragon's bloodline purity should not have exceeded 50%. Even so, the value of this Mixed-blood Dragon Pearl was extremely high.]

[That same year, you went to Jiangdu to attend the trade. Twenty-six people participated, all Great Powers with profound cultivation. The lowest cultivation among them belonged to a husband and wife pair at the Late Spirit Condensation Realm, while the one presiding over the Trade Fair was a Half-Saint Grade expert—the strongest of the twenty-six present.]

[Soon, the trade began. As the first person stepped forward, you saw that he wore a yellow robe and had sharp eyes. Every gesture of his carried the sense that he was anything but ordinary. He took out a Mid-grade Heaven Grade Treasure Artifact and stated that he wished to exchange it for a Heaven Grade Pill that could increase Lifespan.

Heaven Grade Pills that increased Lifespan were exceedingly valuable, but the Treasure Artifact he had brought out was a defensive one, so the two were worth roughly the same and would not differ greatly in value. You currently had three Low-grade Heaven Grade Longevity Pills and one Low-grade Heaven Grade Azure Nether Longevity Pill, but you had no intention of trading with him. You already possessed a Heaven Grade Defensive Treasure Armor, and this Treasure Artifact was of little use to you.

After waiting for a long time, no one came forward to trade. A trace of embarrassment appeared on the man's face, and he then said, "Everyone, if anyone is willing to trade a Heaven Grade Longevity Pill with me, I am willing to add a Low-grade Heaven Grade Heavenly Fragrance Fruit as a gift." After speaking, he swept his gaze around the room.

Yet after waiting for a moment, he found that no one was still willing to trade with him. The yellow-robed man was deeply disappointed and was about to step down when the Half-Saint Grade Great Power hosting this Trade Fair spoke. "As the first person to step up for a trade, if I let you return empty-handed, this trade would seem rather dull. As it happens, I have several Heaven Grade Longevity Pills here." With that, the Half-Saint Grade Great Power took out a Jade Bottle and tossed it to the yellow-robed man.

After receiving the Jade Bottle, the yellow-robed man opened it and inspected its contents. Once he confirmed that everything was correct, he handed the Mid-grade Heaven Grade Treasure Armor and the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit to the Great Power. He then respectfully cupped his fists and bowed. "Thank you, Senior, for fulfilling my wish."

The yellow-robed man waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such courtesy, then gestured for the next person to come up and trade.]

[Soon, the second person wishing to trade stepped forward and stated his items and demands one by one, ...]

[The items brought out at the Trade Fair were all excellent. There were several that you wanted, but unfortunately, you did not possess what the other parties required. The trade only supported item exchange, so you could only watch as those items were traded away.]

[As person after person stepped forward, some returned satisfied while others left disappointed.

Soon, a woman in a blue qipao stepped onto the stage to trade. Her skin was like congealed cream, her face as white as frost, and the blue qipao accentuated her proud figure. She then took out a Congealed White Treasure Pearl—this was precisely your target!]
