Chapter 176: 24 Treasures!

TL: Etude

Ye Tian was certain he would be chosen to enter the spatial rift and guard the frontline. He had no objections to this; humanity needed their strongest to protect it, and choosing to flee in the face of danger would be a disservice to mankind.

Therefore, he wouldn't run or be afraid.

Compared to average Saints, he had many more means to save his life, except in the case of the Emperor-level beast with the soul attack talent.

Three days later, the Loose Cultivators Alliance sent a message. He was required to report to the base at the spatial rift within ten days.

"Ten days, huh? Time to prepare," Ye Tian muttered to himself.

He still had many resources, some of which he had left with the Tian Pavilion, and others he could sell, like the God Forging Pills.

Originally, he had three God Forging Pills. He gave one to Wang Yan and still had two left. These pills were highly valuable in Zhonghai Super Base, especially for the offspring of Emperors with extraordinary cultivation talents who struggled to break through to the Saint level. The God Forging Pills could help them with a high probability of advancing to the Saint level.

"I'll trade the two God Forging Pills for treasures that assist in opening the brain domain. My cultivation speed is already much faster than others, but with enough brain-opening treasures, I can make a significant leap in a short time," Ye Tian planned.

Power was the most important thing, and the God Forging Pills were of no use to him. His sister, Ye Yu, with her Morning Star-level cultivation talent, wouldn't need such treasures. As for the others in Tian Pavilion, he wouldn't provide them with the pills; they had to rely on themselves.

Soon after, Ye Tian listed the God Forging Pills on the trading platform of the Loose Cultivators Alliance. He offered each pill in exchange for ten brain-opening treasures, amounting to twenty treasures for both pills. The listing was quickly taken up, showcasing the rarity of such pills. He soon met with the traders, one of whom was an Emperor-level being.

"This is…" Ye Tian looked at the Emperor, puzzled. The trader should have been the King-level person, not this Emperor. From his talents, Ye Tian recognized the Emperor as Qin Shan from the Qin Sect, an Emperor-level being from the Qin Sect coming to trade in the Loose Cultivators Alliance, which was against the rules.

"I am Emperor Qin Shan from the Qin Sect. Great Saint Ye Tian, please don't be angry. We know this breaks the rules, but we are willing to increase the stakes of the trade," the King-level person spoke.

Ye Tian asked Qin Shan directly what price he was willing to pay for the two God Forging Pills.

Qin Shan offered 24 brain-opening treasures, each capable of helping a Moonlight-level talent open 0.5% of their brain domain in half a month, equating to 12% in a year. For Morning Star-level talents, it would mean a 4% opening in a year.

"Such treasures are extremely rare, and the value of each, as you know, is considerable. Offering 24 is already a significant gesture of sincerity," Qin Shan stated firmly.

"Agreed!" Ye Tian nodded in acceptance.

"Let's swear on the trade then!" Qin Shan said with relief. He was trading the pills for his children, hoping to help his son, a potential Five Star-level warrior, and his recently ascended King-level daughter, both of whom only had extraordinary cultivation talents.

Therefore, Qin Shan had to prepare treasures like the God Forging Pill for his two children. Such treasures were always in short supply, even for a powerful faction like the Qin Sect, with so many Emperors and offspring with extraordinary cultivation talents. Unable to procure such treasures from the Qin Sect, and with no success in the divine space, Qin Shan resorted to seeking trades, hoping someone would trade a God Forging Pill.

Finally, a King-level member of the Loose Cultivators Alliance, whom Qin Shan had previously helped, provided him with information about the God Forging Pill trade.

After the successful trade, Qin Shan sighed in relief: "Now, my two children have a chance to break through to the Saint level!"

Ye Tian obtained 24 brain-opening treasures, four more than he initially expected, and these treasures were far superior to ordinary ones. It was indeed a profitable trade. Back home, Ye Tian began using the treasures to open his brain domain, simultaneously activating triple time acceleration.

Boom! His deep brain domain opened rapidly under the influence of his consciousness and the treasures, much faster than before.

"With one of these treasures, a Moonlight-level cultivator can open 0.5% of their brain domain in half a month. However, as a Dawn-level cultivator, I can open 0.5% in three days, and with triple time acceleration, I can open 0.5% in just one day in the external world!" Ye Tian murmured.

Sure enough, after one day of closed-door cultivation, Ye Tian opened 0.5% of his deep brain domain. A single treasure could sustain two days of his cultivation, meaning one treasure could open 1% of his brain domain. Twenty-four treasures would be enough for him to open 24% of his brain domain in 48 days.

"This is incredible! Using resources really speeds up the process. I've already opened 12%, and with these treasures, I'll reach 36% of my deep brain domain. My strength will surely surge by then!" Ye Tian exclaimed excitedly.

He continued cultivating, with about nine days left before he had to report. In a blink of an eye, eight days passed, and Ye Tian had opened 16.5% of his deep brain domain.

"It's time to leave," he concluded, ending his seclusion to head to the Five Star-level spatial rift.

Before leaving, he gave instructions to Ye Yu and the members of Tian Pavilion and then left Zhonghai Super Base

—

70,000 kilometers to the southeast lay the Five Star-level spatial rift guarded by Zhonghai Super Base. When Ye Tian arrived, he saw a gigantic spatial rift over a thousand kilometers long, as if the sky itself had been torn open.

Compared to the Three-Star-level spatial rift near the Demon Sea Base, this seemed trivial. Numerous powerful arrays, including Morning Star-level arrays, were deployed around the rift on Earth's side. A large army, along with numerous Kings, Saints, and even Emperors, was stationed here.

Ye Tian could sense several terrifying auras from the fortress, which was quite intimidating. Upon his arrival, a King-level figure approached and greeted him,

"Great Saint Ye Tian, please follow me."
