The Difference Between Spirit Lands and Blessed Lands

Ye Qingxuan chose the first mountain peak mainly for two reasons:

First, the overall Spiritual Energy Density of the Spirit Land.

The other two Spirit Lands were located at the edge of the Xuantian Mountain Range, and the Spiritual Energy Density in the air could only compare with a Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein.

This Spirit Land, however, only possessed a First-grade Spirit Vein for now. Yet because it was located within the inner region of the Xuantian Mountain Range and influenced by other high-grade Spirit Veins, its external Spiritual Energy Density was already comparable to that of a Tier 5 Spirit Vein.

Its only difference from a Tier 5 Spirit Land was that its fertility could not compare with a Tier 5 Spirit Land.

After all, the primary nutrients for all kinds of Spirit Plants still came from the Spirit Land itself. The Spiritual Energy Density in the air could promote a Spirit Plant's growth, but it could not determine the Spirit Plant's grade.

It could be said that the grade of a Spirit Land limited the upper limit for cultivating Spirit Plants, while the density of external spiritual energy affected the Growth Speed of those Spirit Plants.

For its own growth, a Spirit Land would not allow Spirit Plants to exceed its limits. Once a Spirit Plant surpassed the Spirit Land's upper limit, it would wildly and uncontrollably absorb the Spirit Essence of the Spirit Land, affecting the growth of its Spirit Vein. In serious cases, it could even cause the Spirit Land to gradually wither away.

Thus, once a Spirit Plant reached the Spirit Land's maximum grade, the Spirit Land would begin absorbing the Spirit Plant's energy. While restricting the Spirit Plant, it could also promote its own growth.

This was also one of the main methods Blessed Cultivators used to cultivate Spirit Plants and assist Blessed Lands in accelerating their Promotion Speed.

Moreover, the denser the spiritual energy of the outside world, the faster the rank advancement of Spirit Lands and Blessed Lands. Therefore, compared with the other two Spirit Lands, this one possessed a tremendous external advantage.

Second was the matter of safety.

Being closer to the core region of the Xuantian Sect was relatively much safer.

As for privacy, after gaining a deeper understanding of Blessed Land information, he was no longer particularly worried about that issue.

Once cultivators contracted a Spirit Land, the Spirit Land would begin transforming into a Blessed Land, forming a Spatial Barrier outside the Blessed Land and ultimately becoming a domain of its own.

As it subsequently grew and advanced, the Blessed Land's expansion would shift into the Inner Space of the Dihuan Realm, actively absorbing Void Energy to accelerate its Growth Speed.

As long as the Lord of Blessed Land had not died, this barrier would continue to exist.

Given the characteristics of Blessed Lands, unless cultivators forcibly made a move to break open a Blessed Land's Spatial Barrier, the Vast Majority of Cultivators could not directly investigate the Blessed Land's Internal Space.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan did not need to worry about cultivators peeking at him in secret!

Only after the owner of a Blessed Land died, and the Blessed Land remained without an heir for a long time, would it gradually fall from the Inner Space of the Dihuan Realm, merge into the earth, and become an ordinary Spirit Land once more.

This was the greatest difference between Blessed Lands and Spirit Lands, and also one reason why the Promotion Speed increased after a Spirit Land transformed into a Blessed Land.

After deciding on the Spirit Land, Ye Qingxuan did not linger!

He immediately returned to the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard by Sword Flight and found its manager, Bai Zichun, again.

"Manager, this disciple has already made his choice."

As he spoke, Ye Qingxuan spread open the map in his hand, pointed at the Spirit Land he had selected, and continued:

"This disciple will choose this Spirit Land!"

Bai Zichun glanced at the Spirit Land Ye Qingxuan had chosen and did not find it surprising. Ye Qingxuan's choice had been within his expectations.

Taking out a scroll from his Storage Ring, Bai Zichun asked:

"What name do you intend to give this Spirit Land?"

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, then said decisively:

"Qingxuan Blessed Land."

I hope this Blessed Land can walk with me until the very end!

"Qingxuan Blessed Land? That will do!"

Bai Zichun then registered the information of this Spirit Land, and the name of its owner became Ye Qingxuan.

After registering it, Bai Zichun handed Ye Qingxuan a Talisman Order and said:

"Qi Refining Realm disciples are not permitted to go out. However, considering the special nature of Blessed Cultivators, the sect allows Blessed Cultivator Courtyard Disciples three months to return home, visit their families, and settle their mortal ties before they Formally Become A Blessed Cultivator!"

"With this Talisman Order, you can pass through the sect's Teleportation Array to the outside world without issue! Remember, you must return within Three Months, or the Talisman Order will become invalid."

After receiving the Talisman Order, Ye Qingxuan nodded respectfully.

"Yes! This disciple will certainly remember it in his heart!"

When he had entered the sect, he had already sworn a Dao Oath. Thus, the Xuantian Sect was not worried that these Blessed Cultivator Disciples would leave and never return.

Three Months, along with the Teleportation Array, was enough for him to make a round trip between the Xuantian Sect and the Ye Family.

Clenching the Talisman Order in his hand, Ye Qingxuan impatiently bowed and said:

"Manager, then this disciple will take leave?"

Seeing Ye Qingxuan's eager appearance, Bai Zichun burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, don't rush. It won't hurt to wait a moment."

He took out a Jade Talisman from his arms and handed it to Ye Qingxuan.

"After this Jade Talisman is activated with spiritual power, it can erupt with a full-force strike comparable to the Nascent Soul Early Stage. Take it for protection!"

Though no one within the Xuantian Sect's territory would be so blind as to intercept and kill a Sect Disciple of the Xuantian Sect, one could never be too careful.

Bai Zichun thought highly of Ye Qingxuan and did not wish to see him fall because of some accident.

"This...?"

Ye Qingxuan hesitated and did not accept the Jade Talisman from Bai Zichun's hand at the first time.

One should not accept rewards without merit. To him now, this Jade Talisman was far too precious!

Seeing Ye Qingxuan hesitate, Bai Zichun smiled and spoke again.

"Take it! This Jade Talisman is not of much use to me. Consider it a gift to forge a good connection."

Hearing Bai Zichun say this, Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and did not refuse again. After accepting the Jade Talisman from Bai Zichun, he said with a resolute expression:

"In that case, this disciple will shamelessly accept it. From this day onward, this disciple will owe Manager a favor. If Manager ever has any request in the future, this disciple will certainly do everything within his power!"

Seeing Ye Qingxuan accept the Jade Talisman, Bai Zichun's smile deepened. He did not particularly care about a disciple's favor. What he valued was Ye Qingxuan's attitude toward cultivation, which was why he regarded Ye Qingxuan differently.

Still, he did not refuse Ye Qingxuan. Instead, he gave a slight nod in agreement.

"If that is so, then let it be as you say! Go now! Leave early and return early!"

He had principles of his own, yet was not rigid and pedantic. Bai Zichun felt increasingly satisfied with Ye Qingxuan.

"Yes, this disciple will take leave! Please take care of yourself!"

After bidding Bai Zichun farewell, Ye Qingxuan took to Sword Flight and flew toward the outskirts of the Xuantian Mountain Range.

There was a Teleportation Array there that led beyond Xuan Prefecture.

Ye Qingxuan soared through the high altitude on his Flying Sword, examining the Jade Talisman in his hand.

This was Bai Zichun's goodwill toward him, and likewise a thread of karma.

In truth, Ye Qingxuan did not wish to owe too many people favors. Once there was debt, there would naturally be entanglements, which would only add to his sorrow in the future.

Yet how could one possibly avoid the net woven by the mortal world entirely upon the Cultivation Path?

Bai Zichun had originally been a complete stranger to him, yet he had looked after him so well. Faced with such goodwill, how could Ye Qingxuan avoid it?

He did not wish to form too much karma with others, but that did not mean he should close himself off because of it and reject all goodwill from others.

That did not accord with his Dao!

His Dao was more in harmony with the Dao of non-action.

He would not actively form karma, but neither would he reject everything merely to flee from karma. Let nature take its course; act through non-action!

This was Ye Qingxuan's Dao of conducting himself in the world.

Immortals were also people. The Cultivation Path itself lay amid the endless mortal world; the endless immortal path was also an endless road through the mortal world!

Without transcending it, one would ultimately become nothing more than a speck of dust drifting amid the ups and downs of the mortal world!

Everyone need not worry that the later plot will be too bland. The Dihuan Realm appears peaceful on the surface, but the various Top Powers are actually always in a state of conflict. It is merely that the protagonist's cultivation is currently too low for him to come into contact with such information. Everyone can guess what conflicts and crises are involved.
