Ye Tian, completely unaware of the situation, opened his mouth to ask, “Honorable Emperors, with so many Saints and even Emperors among you, why am I chosen to assist Empress Yue? I request the Emperors to enlighten me.”
Empress Yue, not a man of many words, simply stared at Ye Tian with cold eyes, as if to say: Boy, it’s your luck to assist me, and you even think of refusing!
The Battle Axe Emperor explained, “Ye Tian, you must possess a top-tier talent for invisibility, right? It is said that this talent can even make it hard for Emperor-level beasts to detect your presence, and you can also turn others invisible along with you. We have lost many powerful beings in our quest to find the beast with the soul talent. After startling the snake in the grass last time, it has become even harder to locate it. Therefore, we want you to turn invisible with Empress Yue. Empress Yue holds a treasure that can protect two people from soul attacks. This time, your mission with Empress Yue is to find that beast with the soul talent. Once found, we will all move out to slay it!”
Ye Tian didn’t know what to say anymore.
The Emperors had even figured out his top-tier invisibility talent, making it hard to refuse!
“Is there any benefit for me?”
Ye Tian shamelessly asked.
Several Emperors stared at Ye Tian, wishing they could pry open his head to see what he was thinking. This was for the entire base’s sake, yet he still wanted benefits!
“If this matter is successful, I can allow you to train in our Moon God Sect’s Moon God Pavilion for a month,” said Empress Yue, who had been silent.
“Empress Yue, aren’t your terms too generous? I begged you so many times, even promised many benefits, just to let a genius from my Witch God Temple train in the Moon God Pavilion for ten days, and you refused. Now, you’re letting him train there for a whole month!” The Blood-Eye Witch Emperor jealously exclaimed.
The Battle Axe Emperor and the other Emperors also envied Ye Tian; the benefit was too great!
“All the Emperors, what is the Moon God Pavilion?”
Ye Tian asked with some confusion, sensing that this Moon God Pavilion must be something extraordinary, as all the Emperors envied him.
Empress Yue explained while looking at Ye Tian, “The Moon God Pavilion is another treasure I accidentally obtained. One can rapidly develop their brain domain by paying a certain price to open it. I crossed from the Saint level to the Emperor level in just three short years with its help. But the cost of opening the Moon God Pavilion is too great. If it weren’t for an amazing ancient text and inheritance I obtained, providing me with ample resources, I wouldn’t have been able to open it for three years, but it almost exhausted all my resources. Since then, I rarely open the Moon God Pavilion, even for the Saintesses. If you help me complete this mission, I will make an exception and let you train there for a month.”
Ye Tian quickly said.
This was a great opportunity! He didn’t know such a place existed before. Empress Yue, with merely a Moonlight-level talent, advanced from the early Saint level to the Emperor level in just three years. What kind of speed was that? Other Moonlight-level talents would need fifty or sixty years to make the same progress. This showed the extraordinary effects of the Moon God Pavilion.
With his triple-time acceleration and Dawn-level cultivation talent, the effects in the Moon God Pavilion would be even more miraculous. His cultivation would surely surge.
He would be foolish not to accept such a deal!
“Since you’ve agreed, let’s set off!”
Empress Yue led the way, and Ye Tian followed him, leaving behind the Battle Axe Emperor, Blood-Eye Witch Emperor, and others, looking at each other in dismay.
“Battle Axe Emperor, why would Empress Yue make such an… outrageous promise?”
The Blood-Eye Witch Emperor wondered. In his view, Ye Tian wouldn’t refuse the task even with minimal benefits.
“I don’t understand!” the Battle Axe Emperor shook his head. “Empress Yue has risen too quickly. Her strength is not just what’s listed on the Emperor’s ranking. If it weren’t for her revealing her true strength last time, you might have stayed there for good. She’s too mysterious, and I even suspect she’s still holding back. I can’t fathom her thoughts!”
“Yes, I thought my strength was greater than Empress Yue’s, but she has surpassed me! With her rate of progress, perhaps in another ten years, even your position will be in jeopardy!” joked the Blood-Eye Witch Emperor.
“Ha ha, first place on the Emperor’s List, if someone surpasses me, I’ll be happy!”
The Battle Axe Emperor laughed heartily, not caring about the mere title of first on the Emperor’s List.
Ye Tian looked at Empress Yue with curiosity and excitement due to her promise, yet he was also not foolish.
It was just a mission, and merely an assistance role, yet such a great reward was promised. Ye Tian couldn’t believe there wasn’t something more to it. Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to ask outright; if he angered Empress Yue and lost the reward, he would have nowhere to cry. In any case, he didn’t sense any malice from Empress Yue, instead, he felt a faint sense of benevolence.
This was a man’s intuition!
After flying a certain distance, Empress Yue spoke, “Alright, you… grab my hand and activate your invisibility talent.”
Ye Tian grabbed Empress Yue’s hand, failing to notice the fleeting blush on her stunning face, which quickly returned to normal.
“Invisibility talent, activate!”
In an instant, both Ye Tian and Empress Yue disappeared completely.
“Empress Yue, I have a flying talent that ensures there are no energy fluctuations, much more secretive than flying on your own. Let me carry you; we’ll be less likely to be detected,” Ye Tian suggested.
“Agreed,” Empress Yue nodded.
Thus, Ye Tian, holding Empress Yue’s hand, activated his flying talent and swiftly flew through the void.
During the flight, a thought suddenly struck Ye Tian: Empress Yue’s hand is so soft! If Empress Yue knew what Ye Tian was thinking, she might have kicked him out of the sky.
Days passed, and Ye Tian and Empress Yue continued their search for the beast, but to no avail. They delved deeper into the world of ferocious beasts, whose vastness was unknown to anyone. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. One day, Ye Tian discovered a battle: a clash between Emperor-level ferocious beasts.
The battle was so intense that it was impossible to ignore. The area of a hundred thousand miles seemed like a battlefield, with the two Emperor-level ferocious beasts rivaling the power of the thirty-six Emperors. At that moment, Empress Yue took out a mirror. After channeling yuan force into it, the mirror displayed a clear image of the battlefield.
“What treasure is this?” Ye Tian curiously asked.
“The Moon God Mirror. It can survey the surroundings within a radius of 200,000 miles and is not easily detected,” Empress Yue explained.
“Amazing!” Ye Tian thought. Empress Yue seemed like a walking treasury. He wanted to drain her-, no, her treasures.
Suddenly, one of the beasts on the Moon God Mirror caught Ye Tian’s attention.
“Golden Winged Peng!” he exclaimed.
