The two King-level guards stepped aside. When even the Battle Axe Emperor himself allowed Ye Tian to enter, they dared not obstruct him. Ye Tian walked into the palace of the Battle Axe Emperor and met the strongest man of Zhonghai Super Base in the depths of the palace.
“Greetings to the Battle Axe Emperor!” Ye Tian greeted with a salute. Instinctively, he checked the Battle Axe Emperor’s talent status.
Cultivation Talent: Moonlight
Strength Talent: Mystic
Defense Talent: Mystic
“Three Mystic talents and a top-tier battle axe weapon talent. Truly fitting of the Battle Axe Emperor, no wonder he is the strongest in Zhonghai Super Base.” Ye Tian inwardly praised. However, even the Battle Axe Emperor did not possess a God-level talent, showing that there were no God-level talents in Zhonghai Super Base. The only God-level talent was Ye Tian’s own Extreme Speed Talent.
“Ye Tian, you mentioned at the entrance of my palace that you have information about Longevity Pills. Is it true?” The Battle Axe Emperor was extremely excited, even impatient.
He had long been seeking information about Longevity Pills. No one in Zhonghai Super Base could refine them, not just because of the lack of ingredients but also because it required a Morning Star-level alchemist, which the base did not have.
“Yes, and I have one with me,” Ye Tian said.
“Do you really have it?” The Battle Axe Emperor’s breathing quickened, astonished that such a long-sought item had appeared so unexpectedly.
“Yes, but I have a condition,” Ye Tian said.
“Any condition, as long as it’s within my power, I will agree,” the Battle Axe Emperor stated authoritatively, as the top figure in Zhonghai Super Base.
“I heard you have a sword technique surpassing the golden level. I want to exchange for that sword technique,” Ye Tian requested.
“Oh, you want to exchange for that legendary sword technique?” The Battle Axe Emperor was a bit surprised, then said, “That legendary sword technique is excellent, indeed beyond the golden level, but it requires extremely high talent, probably beyond top-tier sword talent. I don’t recommend you choose this condition.”
“Legendary sword technique!” Ye Tian finally learned the name of this level of sword technique, then resolutely said, “Battle Axe Emperor, I am only interested in the sword technique and am only willing to exchange it for the legendary sword technique.”
“Very well, but once the exchange is complete, you cannot regret it if you gain no benefit from the legendary sword technique,” the Battle Axe Emperor warned.
“I will not regret it,” Ye Tian nodded.
The Battle Axe Emperor produced the secret manual of the legendary sword technique, and Ye Tian took out the jade bottle containing the Longevity Pill.
“Indeed, a Longevity Pill!” The Battle Axe Emperor was overjoyed upon seeing it.
He had researched many ancient texts about Longevity Pills and knew exactly how to recognize them. He was certain that this pill was a genuine Longevity Pill.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian was also thrilled as he took the legendary sword technique into his hands. Flipping through it, he saw the ancient and imposing characters:
The three characters exuded an overwhelming aura, as if capable of slashing through the sun, moon, and stars. Just a quick glance assured him that this sword technique indeed surpassed the golden level.
“Battle Axe Emperor, I shall take my leave to study the sword technique,” Ye Tian said, preparing to depart.
“Go ahead, go!” The Battle Axe Emperor waved his hand, eager for Ye Tian to leave quickly.
This was not because he wanted to rush Ye Tian out, but because once Ye Tian left, he could immediately see his wife and have her take the Longevity Pill to extend her life by a hundred years.
Back at his residence, Ye Tian activated the defensive and soundproofing arrays, and eagerly began studying the legendary sword technique – Starfall Slash!
Half an hour later, he reflected, “It’s indeed complicated, much more so than any golden-level sword technique, but its power is incomparable. Just the entry-level of this legendary sword technique can amplify attack power by 30 times. The minor level can reach 50 times, the major level 80 times, and at the perfected level, it can amplify attack power by 100 times.”
Ye Tian was truly amazed by the power of the legendary sword technique.
The sword technique could stack with the power of a strength talent, amplifying it by 100 times if both were at the Mystic level, leading to an overall amplification of 10,000 times. Such an amplification could even defy the gods!
“It’s too difficult! Mastering a legendary sword technique to perfection is many times harder than acquiring a divine skill,” Ye Tian thought after reading.
With his current level of swordsmanship, he could only master the Starfall Slash to the entry level.
“The entry level of Starfall Slash will also greatly increase my strength. I shouldn’t be too greedy; this is satisfying enough,” Ye Tian smiled slightly.
In the following days, he dedicated himself to practicing Starfall Slash. The base had various training rooms, and as long as Ye Tian didn’t activate his Mystic-level strength talent, his power wouldn’t damage them. Having just completed a major mission, he wasn’t expected to take on another one for at least a month, unless something extraordinary happened.
Twenty days later, Ye Tian finished his training because a new mission arrived. Unfortunately, he hadn’t mastered Starfall Slash to the entry level yet, only barely touching its threshold, unable to unleash its true power. Given another month, he was confident he could reach the entry level.
New Mission – [Assist Empress Yue in tracking the trail of a ferocious beast!]
Ye Tian was somewhat reluctant about this mission. Empress Yue was one of the thirty-six Emperors, being involved in such a mission seemed too dangerous.
“I’ll go and see if I can change this mission,” Ye Tian thought, heading to Empress Yue’s palace, the mission’s gathering point.
“Empress Yue!” Ye Tian saw a woman, Empress Yue herself, and beside her were the Battle Axe Emperor, Blood Eye Emperor, and other Emperors.
“Ye Tian, you’ve arrived!” The Battle Axe Emperor greeted him warmly, grateful for the Longevity Pill that extended his wife’s life by 100 years, in exchange for a legendary sword technique that wasn’t very useful to him.
“Greetings to all the Emperors!” Ye Tian greeted.
Then, he said, “Sirs, can someone else take this mission? I’m only at the Saint level, and assisting Empress Yue might not be appropriate.”
“Kid, are you afraid of dying?” Blood Eye Emperor, with his three eyes, taunted.
Ye Tian rolled his eyes silently; wasn’t that obvious?
“Ye Tian, the opportunity to assist Empress Yue is a dream for many. How can you be unwilling?” the Battle Axe Emperor joked. (Damn bro what about your wife?)
After all, Empress Yue, despite being over seventy years old, was the youngest among the Emperors. She established the Moon God Sect at twenty and quickly raised it to one of the four great powers. She was also the fastest to advance to Emperor level and remained single. At her age, which was like a young woman in her late teens in terms of human lifespan, she was an unattainable goddess in many people’s hearts.
Unfortunately, Empress Yue’s personality was too cold, and many couldn’t even get close to her. The Battle Axe Emperor and others stayed ten meters away from her, as getting too close would invoke her aura, pushing them away. However, they knew that Ye Tian had to get close to her for the mission – a task that many would envy.
