"How's the situation now?" Ye Tian inquired.
"It's not good. The sea beasts occasionally attack, and right now, it's only King Beasts. If something beyond a King Beast comes through, the space rift area might..." Yue Ling didn't finish her sentence, but the implication was clear.
"Has the cause been identified?" Ye Tian found it hard to believe that sea beasts would suddenly come ashore to attack the space rift.
Yue Ling shook her head, indicating uncertainty. As a Martial Grandmaster, she only had access to limited information, not privy to deeper secrets.
After his visit to the Yue family, Ye Tian left but remained concerned about the sea beast attacks on the space rift. If the rift were compromised, the Demon Sea Base would be in danger. Although he had joined Zhonghai Super Base, he couldn't ignore the Demon Sea Base.
"First, I'll take my sister to Zhonghai Super Base, then investigate this matter," Ye Tian decided.
Upon returning home, Ye Tian, along with Ye Yu, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Zi, headed back to Zhonghai Super Base. Due to Xiao Jin's large size and the need to accommodate the two beasts, Ye Tian had to slow down, taking half a day to reach Zhonghai Super Base.
As a Saint-level, Ye Tian registered at the gate, and Zhonghai Super Base officials immediately processed Ye Yu's membership.
In the following days, Ye Tian frequently visited the Loose Cultivators Alliance headquarters and various departments. He traded almost half of his treasures at a huge cost to gather the items needed to build a perfect foundation for Ye Yu. These included Black Jade Blood Juice for breaking the limit of skin refining, Millennium Lingzhi Flesh for flesh refining, Yi Jing Wash Marrow Pill for bone refining, Emperor-level ferocious beast Blood Hoof Beast's blood for blood refining, and Five-Color Internal Organ Pill for breaking the limit of the internal organs.
These five treasures were extremely rare. If not for Ye Tian's good luck and willingness to pay a high price, he wouldn't have been able to acquire them so quickly.
Finally, the day came. In a high-level cultivation chamber, Ye Tian began the process with Ye Yu, starting with the Black Jade Blood Juice. She had to sequentially use the five treasures to break the limits of her body and build a perfect foundation, freeing her from the constraints of the laws of nature.
Looking at the ink-like Black Jade Blood Juice, Ye Yu steeled herself and drank it. The juice, though appearing like blood, was actually the sap of a rare plant, extremely valuable for its ability to break the skin refining limit.
After drinking it, Ye Yu felt an unbearable itching sensation, as if thousands of insects were biting her skin. She endured the pain, knowing that to build a perfect foundation, she had to withstand this suffering. Compared to her brother's efforts and sacrifices, this pain was insignificant, and she was determined not to waste his goodwill.
Ye Tian watched his sister endure the pain necessary to break the limits of her body, feeling empathetic but knowing that such pain was inevitable in defying the natural order.
On the first day, Ye Yu broke through the skin refining limit.
On the second day, she broke the flesh refining limit.
On the third day, she broke the bone refining limit.
On the fourth day, she broke the blood refining limit.
Finally, on the fifth day, she surpassed the limits of her internal organs, successfully creating a perfect foundation.
This process was much faster compared to Ye Tian's own experience, which took several months, but his breakthroughs were more comprehensive and nearly impossible to replicate.
Ye Tian could easily comprehend profound mysteries, but it was much harder for those who used treasures to forcibly build a perfect foundation. Such individuals often exhausted all their energy just to comprehend a single profound mystery. Without relying on his copy talent, Ye Tian could still understand several profound mysteries, and with the help of the War God Tablet, he could elevate a mystery to a mystic level in just a few months.
After several days of effort, Ye Tian managed to trade for items that could enhance Ye Yu's speed and defense talents to a medium level, reaching his limit in what he could trade. This effort resulted in the following talents for Ye Yu:
Cultivation Talent: Morning Star
Ice Talent: Top-Level
Defense Talent: Medium
Ye Tian didn't expect Ye Yu to become a top-tier genius but hoped her strength would be sufficient to protect herself. He then instructed her to cultivate the Golden Body Yuan Force Secret Technique in a high-level cultivation chamber, which should be easy with her talents. He told her he would be away for a while.
As for the top-level cultivation chamber, Ye Tian hadn't started building it yet, as his array master level was still at high-level, not top-level. Despite his top-level array talent, he had spent little time studying array patterns, focusing mostly on other areas.
When he had time, Ye Tian planned to spend a few days in the War God Tablet space to study arrays and elevate his array master level to top-level, enabling him to build a top-level cultivation chamber.
For now, he prepared to visit the Demon Sea Base to resolve the issue with the sea beasts and the spatial rift. He had a feeling that this matter was more complex than it seemed. For safety, he brought along his full-body substitute, a modification of a Saint-level ferocious beast he had hunted, as the substitute needed to match his cultivation level to activate.
Quickly arriving at the Demon Sea Base, Ye Tian didn't enter but flew directly towards the location of the spatial rift.
"We're here," Ye Tian murmured, looking at the top-level array before him.
