Upon returning to the Qin Wangfu, Ye Kai instructed that no one was to disturb him during his seclusion. After bathing and lighting incense, he began to calm his mind and assess his cultivation.
The energy within his Dantian had long been polished to a smooth and vibrant state. Recently, he had a faint premonition that he might soon break through to the Refining Qi into Spirit stage.
The first threshold of the Refining Qi into Spirit stage was the Heartfelt phase.
At this point, he would face the greatest danger in his cultivation journey: the stirring of the spirit.
Confusion regarding true intent was a hallmark of the Heart-Moving Stage.
Whether it was self-awareness or the awakening of the mind and spirit, although it would become lively and invigorating during this period, it could also be seduced by All Things in the World.
However, as long as one could overcome the temptations of this realm and reach a state of tranquility, they would realize that rather than letting thoughts explode, it was better to embody The Highest Good Is Like Water—cultivating oneself and nurturing one's nature. This was the fundamental pursuit of this realm.
Upon reaching this stage, one would possess more intense emotions and a more passionate spirit.
As it is said, "When the heart desires movement, the spirit does not rest; when the body wishes to act, perception becomes indistinct; when the soul seeks to emerge, the corporeal form does not shed." Every Heart-Moving Period Cultivator's life is like a book that interprets the joys and sorrows of human existence. This is the realm of life, an outpouring of emotions—this is Heartfelt!
Ye Kai sat cross-legged on the Cloud Bed, lost in thought.
This was indeed his first attempt at cultivation without divine assistance. He felt a bit anxious but also had a flicker of eagerness within him.
Suppressing his impulsive feelings, he pondered once more.
Compared to other cultivators at the same level, his energy was far more substantial. After circulating it to nourish his meridians, his thoughts sank once again into the Ancestral Aperture within his brow.
Inside the Ancestral Aperture, two distinct energies coexisted: one was a warm and uniquely resonant light energy, while the other exuded a chilling dominance.
In the vast and boundless expanse of space, there existed an incredibly magnificent and colossal kingdom, filled with countless creatures and spacecrafts that could only be seen in a science fiction world.
At the same time, there was a powerful and oppressive force composed of myriad runes pressing down upon it.
This was the consequence of a supreme being casually pointing at him in the final moments within the Veil of the World.
If it weren't for his ability to introspect, if he weren't so familiar with the aura of divinity, and if it weren't for the overwhelming seal of the constricting force in his mind, he might have truly believed that everything before had merely been a fleeting dream!
Every experience was vividly etched in his memory, so real.
The two forces within the Ancestral Aperture far surpassed his current magical power by billions in quantity and similarly in quality.
The difference was stark!
This was all Ye Kai could sigh about every time he witnessed this scene.
Following the technique left behind by the gods, Ye Kai quickly refined a Warm Origin Pill, transforming it into the most primal and purest form of magical power.
Since this pill was crafted from the Life Pearl and herbs aged for over ten thousand years, not only could he easily obtain the purest source of magical power, but it could also be absorbed quickly, merging into one.
However, one couldn't simply take pills whenever they wished. The Warm Origin Pill had a gentle effect, but the magical power contained within it was not something an ordinary Refining Essence into Qi stage cultivator could absorb or fuse with.
Even Ye Kai had to endure some pain when consuming it for the first time.
Once this step was completed, he felt the swirling magical energy filling his Dantian with its most primal vibrancy.
After finishing this round of cultivation, Ye Kai slowly opened his eyes. The brilliance in his pupils could not be concealed as the air around him began to distort.
This was not the first time he had absorbed Earth Spirit Energy. Moreover, those who practiced cultivation naturally had a great demand for Earth Spirit Energy, and his need was even more exaggerated—at least several times greater than that of other cultivators at the same level.
However, after just a short while, he felt a sharp pain in his meridians.
Although he relied on countless pills and the Life Pearl in his hand, he was not afraid of bodily harm.
Yet, to break through to the Heartfelt stage in one go, his meridians were still a bit too weak; it required some time to nurture and strengthen them.
Taking a slow breath, Ye Kai waved his hand casually, stopping the Spirit Gathering Array from drawing in Spiritual Energy. In the spacious chamber, the Spiritual Energy immediately scattered, no longer gathering into a mass.
"Indeed, it was still too much of a strain. However, being able to reach this level is already a great fortune. The original me would have needed at least three to five years in this abundant Spiritual Energy world to achieve what I have now."
"Now, it's as if I've gained five years for free. In this world, without divine assistance, those five years hold immense significance!"
He couldn't help but sigh softly again: "Even a trace of Rune Power from a flawed Emperor possesses such terrifying Divine Ability. It's truly astonishing and fearsome!"
After calming down and retracting the surging magical power back into his Dantian, Ye Kai felt a bit hungry.
For cultivators, resources were absolutely essential—be it spirit stones or various Material Treasures, Spiritual Mountain Treasure Lands, or even partners; all were forms of resources.
Take him as the Qin Wang; every grain of rice he consumed was the finest selected Pearl Rice. This type of rice was not only pure white like Jade but also contained a thread of Spiritual Energy. The most precious aspect was that the Spiritual Energy was gentle enough for even an infant to absorb easily.
The food he usually ate was also quite particular—not only did it need to be flavorful, but it also had to be nourishing. Whether vegetables or various rare birds and beasts, care had to be taken during cooking to preserve their Spiritual Energy. Proper combinations were necessary to avoid conflicts between Spiritual Energies that could be harmful rather than beneficial.
Thus, in the current Tang Empire, where martial prowess flourished and Qi cultivation was rampant, the children of noble families always stood high above others.
As for so-called common Loose Cultivators, unless they encountered significant opportunities, they would never pose a threat to the children of noble families because their starting points were simply different.
As for Ye Kai, he was the only Prince Qin in the entire Tang Empire who could stroll through the royal palace's back garden at any time. No other noble family disciple, not even those directly related to the royal family, could compare with him in terms of resources, except for the Old Monster in the Hall of Offerings and Li Er.
Everything about him was perfect, including his affairs and meals.
After finishing half a bowl of Ice Crystal Snow Lotus Soup, Ye Kai rose gracefully from his seat, surrounded by numerous maids and servants, and began his leisurely post-meal stroll to aid digestion.
The Qin Wangfu was vast—so vast that sometimes he would unknowingly get lost. Therefore, as a habit, he had marked many signs throughout the estate to guide him.
His favorite place remained the Plum Garden.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! Xia'er has been looking for you for quite a while..."
Just as Ye Kai arrived at the plum grove and began to stretch his limbs, the breathless maid Xia'er hurried over with two eunuchs in tow.
"Slow down, slow down! Xia'er, what's got you so flustered?" Ye Kai asked with curiosity.
As a prince, especially one as high-ranking as Qin Wang, it was unusual for his personal maid to appear so anxious unless something significant was about to happen.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! People from the Purple Cloud Sect have arrived, and the princess's senior brother is here too..." Xia'er chattered away like a lively songbird.
The Purple Cloud Sect?!
It was a medium-sized sect that was steadily rising. Although it couldn't compare with the larger sects, it was still much more powerful than many smaller ones.
And this senior brother of the princess was even more intriguing—could it be that he was here to compete for a bride?
Ye Kai stroked his chin, a playful smile creeping onto his lips.
Divine System was sealed, and telling him not to get anxious was simply nonsense. No matter how urgent he felt, there was no way to break the seal laid down by the supreme being.
Although it was just a casual gesture, it was enough to give him a headache.
Now, facing this unfamiliar world, aside from some reserves he had on him, the identity of Qin Wang was his most valuable asset.
Even if it meant living better in this world, he had to drive away anyone who dared to provoke him, hurt them, or even kill them.
Otherwise, there were countless monsters and demons in this world who would want to eliminate him. Therefore, he had to protect himself, even if this self-preservation showed signs of 'paranoia.'
With a face full of urgency, and even turning red with excitement at times, Xia'er headed towards the ‘Reception Room of the Fu Wei Escort Agency’, pondering how best to present himself.
Should he go straight for a slap?
Or should he intimidate them and make that so-called senior brother leave?
That was the question…
Main Hall of the Wangfu.
A flicker of resentment flashed in Li Nan's eyes as he smiled at the woman radiating a holy glow. The beast within him roared in frustration once more.
But he couldn't act on it because this woman, whom he had secretly loved for over a decade, was now married and belonged to someone else.
What infuriated him the most was that although this man held a prominent position, in his eyes, he was nothing but a useless fool with no real strength.
Of course, all of this was just Li Nan's own thoughts.
As for the titles like "The Most Handsome Man" and "The Most Charming Talent of the Tang Empire," he had conveniently chosen to forget them.
...
Just as Ye Kai stepped into the vicinity of the hall, he heard a gentle male voice that sent shivers down his spine. This made him raise an eyebrow, and his smile grew even brighter.
"My beloved, my beloved, why didn't you inform me in advance that your family was coming?"
Ye Kai let out a hearty laugh as he strode into the main hall, his expression filled with joy. "Welcome, esteemed guests! Whether you are my beloved's family or just passing through, please do not stand on ceremony. Xia'er, hurry and prepare a feast!"
With that, he pulled the beautiful Consort Yu into his embrace and took a seat at the head of the table.
"Purple Cloud Sect's Liu Chengfeng pays respects to Prince Qin."
"Purple Cloud Sect's Li Nan pays respects to Prince Qin."
"Purple Cloud Sect's Ji Qianqian pays respects to Your Highness."
