According to Ye Tian’s observation, although the Sakura God Tree is a marvel, it is still a tree, albeit a miraculous one.
The Sakura God Tree is very resilient, and its roots probably extend deep into the earth.
If one wishes to move the Sakura God Tree, it must be uprooted, which would mean turning Sakura Super Base upside down.
Moving the Sakura God Tree inconspicuously seemed almost impossible, but Ye Tian was not willing to give up without trying.
Over the next ten days, Ye Tian attempted to make simple contact with some Emperors and covertly investigated some matters, eventually uncovering a secret known only to Emperors.
“The Sakura God Tree contains a juice that can enhance a martial warrior’s talent, not just cultivation talent, but also other talents, potentially elevating a martial warrior’s talent to the Morning Star level. Special talents can be raised to the top level with the help of the tree’s juice, while Mystic-level talents still require personal comprehension.”
Ye Tian was stunned when he discovered this secret.
Most people at Sakura Super Base knew only that the Sakura God Tree’s flowers could enhance a person’s talent and required frequent consumption to be effective, but they did not know the true purpose of the tree was its juice!
“No wonder the Emperors of Sakura Super Base all have top-level talents or higher. That explains it!”
The reason why only Emperors were privy to this was because the juice of the Sakura God Tree was limited and could not be harvested endlessly. Only a small portion could be harvested each year to ensure the normal growth of the tree. If too much were harvested at once, the tree would wither and the wondrous tree would truly die and dissipate!
The Emperors of Sakura Super Base were not foolish enough to exhaust the juice all at once. Sustainable development was the key.
The next trade of Sakura Juice among the Emperors was scheduled for two months later. Each Emperor, based on their cultivation and power, would trade for the juice, with more powerful Emperors able to trade for more.
This was one of the rules set by the major powers of Sakura Super Base!
Yagyu Hakaru, due to his decent strength, was able to trade for one or two doses of Sakura Juice.
Although one or two doses seemed small, it was enough to elevate a martial warrior’s special talent from high to top level.
And this was just the allocation for one year!
Think about it – if an Emperor obtained one or two doses of Sakura Juice and found a way to add a talent, even if it was a weak one, they could use the juice to raise it to a top-level talent.
Therefore, in Sakura Super Base, an item that could add talent was incredibly precious, almost completely monopolized by the major powers.
Even in Huaxia’s large bases, there were many items that could increase talent, albeit low-level and not highly valued.
But what was deemed low value in Huaxia was highly valued by the people of Sakura Super Base.
“No wonder Hanazono Sect wants to break into one of Huaxia’s large bases. If they succeed and Huaxia’s super bases don’t find out, Sakura Super Base obtaining Huaxia’s resources would definitely increase their power significantly!” Ye Tian suddenly understood.
Ye Tian became excited.
He had the ability to copy talents and could replicate many talents. Some were very practical but relatively low-level, and he had been worried about how to improve those talents.
Now, he finally found a way!
Ye Tian wanted to obtain a large amount of Sakura Juice, which might even elevate his time talent to the top level.
Upon thinking of this, Ye Tian was incredibly excited.
Moreover, he thought of a way to steal the marvel without having to move the Sakura God Tree: by harvesting all the sakura juice in one go.
In doing so, he would not only obtain a massive amount of sakura juice but also avenge himself against Sakura Super Base.
“According to my investigation, the Sakura God Tree is harvested jointly by several major forces, who monitor each other. Moreover, there will be many Emperors present at the time, making it difficult to harvest all the juice!”
Ye Tian pondered over a perfect plan for a successful harvest. If he were discovered too early, even his invisibility talent would be useless, as it’s not difficult for other Emperors to locate someone invisible.
If found out, even though he could leave safely, it would become much harder to continue harvesting the juice.
Ye Tian thought of a good plan.
According to the rules, if the Emperors of Sakura Super Base want to trade sakura juice, they must enter the body of the Sakura God Tree. They can only harvest as much as they trade for, and cannot overharvest.
Even the major forces themselves cannot overharvest and must strictly control the quantity.
“The entire Sakura God Tree is covered by a large formation, and Emperors patrol around it 24/7. Under my invisibility talent, I can’t break the formation to enter the tree. But if I enter the tree on the day of harvesting and everyone is required to leave, I can stay hidden and start harvesting the juice slowly after everyone is gone!”
Ye Tian felt this plan was entirely feasible.
The only thing he needed to be cautious about was whether Sakura Super Base had any Emperors with a talent like the Eye of Insight. If so, he would have to implement a backup plan.
The backup plan involved using a soul attack talent to kill the Emperor with an Eye of Insight-like talent, and then throwing out a death-replacing clone modified by Ye Tian.
The death-replacing clone could be modified to look like anyone, naturally including Yagyu Hakaru.
He could stay invisible and let the death-replacing clone take Yagyu Hakaru’s place.
With the sudden death of two Emperors, chaos would ensue, all Emperors would likely exit, and the formation would close.
Since the number of people entering and exiting would match, no one would suspect someone was still inside.
There were two plans in total. The second plan had some flaws, as a thorough examination could reveal problems with Yagyu Hakaru’s body. But Ye Tian had a way to handle this.
That was to use a human Emperor’s body to create the death-replacing clone, which would not emit the aura of a ferocious beast, making it difficult to detect any issues with the body.
“It’s a pity that I destroyed Yagyu Hakaru’s body earlier; otherwise, the second backup plan would have been flawless!”
Now, with only two months left before the trade of sakura juice, Ye Tian needed to prepare an Emperor’s body.
There were not a few Emperors in Sakura Super Base. Ye Tian quickly targeted a weaker Emperor, effortlessly killed him, and then used his body to start creating the death-replacing clone.
Before long, the death-replacing clone was completed.
Ye Tian specially modified the body and appearance to look exactly like Yagyu Hakaru.
Ye Tian’s preparations were complete, and he just waited for the day of the trade.
