TL: Etude
"Sixteen of the Thirty-Six Emperors are dead?"
Ye Tian also inhaled sharply, finding the loss too great!
It was somewhat acceptable for ordinary Emperors to die, but the Thirty-Six Emperors were the pillars of Zhonghai Super Base. The loss of even one was a severe blow.
Losing sixteen of the Thirty-Six Emperors at once could definitely be considered a fundamental injury.
"Yes, the Thirty-Six Emperors definitely need to be re-ranked now, but the new ones will undoubtedly be of lower quality, not as good as the previous ones!" Feng Luxue said, sipping his tea.
"Feng Luxue, why have the beasts retreated? What exactly happened?"
Ye Tian was curious.
He could have asked Empress Yue, but after some thought, he decided not to. Empress Yue must be very busy now, bearing the heavy burden of so many Emperors' deaths. He didn't want to disturb her over a mere question.
"It's unclear, but it's said that a treasure appeared in the beast world, attracting many beasts to fight over it. That black beast that killed many Emperors went there too. Anyway, the specifics are unknown, and humans, having suffered heavy losses, naturally dare not send more people to investigate. Otherwise, if there's another loss, Zhonghai Super Base won't be defendable!" Feng Luxue explained.
"A treasure, huh!"
Ye Tian thought of items like the War God Stele and the Dao Comprehension Stele, which might be the only kinds of treasures capable of inciting such fierce competition among imperial-level beasts.
Unfortunately, his current strength was too weak, or he would have liked to compete for it.
After parting with Feng Luxue, Ye Tian returned to Tian Pavilion.
Tian Pavilion had developed well during this time, having produced several Grandmasters and many Great Martial Warriors. His sister, Ye Yu, had already become a King-level powerhouse.
Even in Ye Tian's absence, Tian Pavilion, with a King-level powerhouse at its helm, could be considered a small force.
Ye Tian handed over the massive amount of beast blood collected from the beast world to his sister Ye Yu, entrusted her with some tasks, and then returned home.
Upon arriving home, he saw Xiao Xue.
Xiao Xue had awakened from its slumber.
"Ha ha ha, Master, I, Xiao Xue, have become very powerful now!"
Xiao Xue shouted excitedly upon seeing Ye Tian.
"Really?"
Ye Tian asked with a sly smile.
"Space Imprisonment!"
Ye Tian used his space talent to suppress Xiao Xue.
Under the space imprisonment ability, the void was frozen. Xiao Xue, merely at the peak of the King level, couldn't escape the frozen void despite its powerful talent.
"Master, what's happening? Why can't I move?"
Xiao Xue's voice screamed in Ye Tian's mind.
"You're just at the King level, and I'm about to reach the Emperor level. Just a little trick from me, and you can't even move. Do you still think you're strong?" Ye Tian deliberately provoked Xiao Xue.
"My goodness, Master, are you already that powerful? I, Xiao Xue, am already a young War Blood Sky Dragon, and my talent has completely transformed. Why am I still so weak!!!"
Xiao Xue was utterly disheartened.
Ye Tian patted Xiao Xue's head, "Xiao Xue, you're almost invincible among the King level, it's just that your master is too powerful, not that you're weak!" He consoled, not wanting Xiao Xue to lose confidence.
"So that's it. I knew I, Xiao Xue, am now incredible. How could I possibly be weak!"
Xiao Xue said arrogantly.
"Xiao Xue, keep working hard in your cultivation. You'll definitely become an extremely powerful dragon in the future! Those Emperor-level beasts are not even worthy of carrying your shoes!"
Ye Tian praised.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm!!!"
Xiao Xue nodded vigorously, its eyes glowing, fully agreeing with Ye Tian's view.
Ye Tian wasn't just flattering Xiao Xue; Xiao Xue was indeed incredible.
He had just checked Xiao Xue's talent after it absorbed the Water Dragon Pearl, undergoing a complete transformation.
Its talents had improved significantly.
Species: War Blood Sky Dragon
Bloodline Talent: Dawn Level
Strength Talent: Pseudo-Mystic (70%)
Defense Talent: Pseudo-Mystic (60%)
Speed Talent: Top Level
Blood Devouring Talent: Pseudo-Mystic (80%)
Blood Devouring Talent: Pseudo-Mystic (80%)
Flying Talent: Top Level
Dragon Flame Talent: Top Level
Healing Talent: Top Level
Dragon Roar Talent: Top Level
Blood Bone Talent: High Level
Dragon Soul Talent: Top Level
Aside from the Blood Bone Talent, all other talents of Xiao Xue were above top level, and its Strength, Defense, and Blood Devouring Talents had already reached the Pseudo-Mystic level, making the transition to Mystic-level talent not difficult.
Furthermore, the other top-level talents also had the chance to evolve into Mystic-level talents, provided Xiao Xue diligently comprehended the mysteries.
With such magnificent and powerful ten talents, Xiao Xue was many times stronger than those imperial-level beasts of the beast world, and its potential future was incomparable to them.
However, Ye Tian also had to be careful not to overly praise Xiao Xue, to prevent it from becoming too arrogant.
After staying at home for a few days, Ye Tian prepared to go to the beast world to find other Mystic-level talents, preparing for his future Emperor-level cultivation. If he stayed in Zhonghai Super Base, he wouldn't be able to replicate several Mystic-level talents.
But before leaving, he planned to meet with Empress Yue to inform her of his plans.
At the Moon God Sect, at the entrance of the sect.
Ye Tian arrived there, and two female disciples of the Moon God Sect stopped him: "This is the territory of the Moon God Sect, men are not allowed to enter!"
"My name is Ye Tian, I've come to find Empress Yue," Ye Tian said.
"Ye Tian!!!"
The two female disciples exclaimed in surprise.
They were too familiar with this name; they had been discussing Ye Tian every day recently, and now he had appeared before them.
"It really is Ye Tian, I've seen his portrait before, I just didn't recognize him at first!" one of the female disciples whispered.
After confirming Ye Tian's identity, they no longer dared to stop him. One of the disciples led Ye Tian into the Moon God Sect.
Along the way.
Many female disciples of the Moon God Sect glanced at Ye Tian, quietly discussing among themselves.
Ye Tian, indifferent to their whispers, walked calmly.
In the distance.
On top of a pavilion.
The Holy Maiden Xiyue and several maidservants also looked over, seeing Ye Tian heading towards the palace where the sect leader of the Moon God Sect resided.
"It's Ye Tian, him!" the Holy Maiden Xiyue observed Ye Tian with curious eyes.
Not long ago, Ye Tian was still on the same level as her, having accepted her task to help her subdue a beast.
At that time, she thought Ye Tian was not as strong as her.
But who would have thought that Ye Tian would soon become the seventh on the King's List, possessing seven-star King-level combat power, and even becoming a Saint, leaping to Great Saint-level power, surpassing Feng Luxue, and becoming the most powerful young person of this generation in Zhonghai Super Base.
And who could have predicted that Ye Tian would mix into the Emperor-level circles and become a close associate of their sect leader, Empress Yue, even allowing Empress Yue to break her own rules and let Ye Tian enter the Moon God Sect.
This matter had caused a huge uproar within the Moon God Sect. Many elders strongly opposed it, but they were all suppressed by Empress Yue, who used her powerful strength to deter all the elders and decided the matter single-handedly.
The Holy Maiden Xiyue was naturally very familiar with all these developments.
But even now, she still felt a bit dazed.
Ye Tian, who was once her peer, now seemed almost like an elder to her.
"Lady Holy Maiden, why do you think Empress Yue favors Ye Tian so much?" a maidservant asked curiously.
"I'm not sure; no one knows what Empress Yue is thinking. Maybe it's true, as the rumors say, that Ye Tian saved Empress Yue's life, and she is very grateful to him," the Holy Maiden Xiyue murmured.
But is that the reality?
Even if there was a life-saving grace, giving more rewards would suffice. Why allow Ye Tian to enter the Moon God Sect anytime, breaking the rules set by Empress Yue herself?
No matter how she thought about it, it seemed unreasonable!
