• Ye Qingxuan discovered that Blessed Cultivators could break through without Tribulation Crossing, and learned that the Earth Source Art made contracting a Spirit Land much safer, especially for cultivators with Earth Spirit Roots.

• Ye Qingxuan read that Blessed Lands absorbed 99 percent of their cultivator’s spiritual energy, but could be supplied with other energy, advance in rank, and help increase cultivation and purify pill resistance.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that nurturing Blessed Cultivators required enormous resources, so hegemon-level forces generally invested little in low-grade cultivators and relied on inheritance and time to produce high-grade ones.

Ye Qingxuan learned that his Eternal Turtle Clone could not escape the restrictions imposed on him as a Blessed Cultivator, but he remained determined and studied the Xuantian Sect’s vast resources and power.

After more than thirty people signed, Ye Qingxuan explained to a curious little fatty that blessed cultivators valued their freedom.

• Ye Qingxuan recognized Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu and realized they had prepared recruits for the alliance in advance.
• Lin Fan presented a contract, but Xiao Feng objected to the alliance deciding which spirit items its members would cultivate and left the banquet.

• Ye Qingxuan told the little fatty that blessed cultivators wanted freedom, then flew away on his sword.

After reaching Qi Refining Perfection ahead of schedule, Ye Qingxuan registered with Bai Zichun and prepared to choose a Spirit Land before returning home to visit his parents.
