Chapter 128: High-Level Array Master

TL: Etude

Lord Yue Ling wasn't someone to feign courtesy. If the reward had no value to the Yue family, he would return it. However, this Silver Level Sword Technique indeed meant a lot to the Yue family, so he couldn't bear to return it.

"I'll find a way to repay Ye Tian in the future!" Lord Yue Ling thought to himself.

However, he also knew that the chance might be slim, as he guessed that Ye Tian would soon head to the Zhonghai Super Base. Whether they would have the chance to meet again was uncertain.

At home.

Ye Tian spread out the map, meticulously examining each point marked on it. There weren't many notable locations. It included the three big bases and Zhonghai Base, along with a few medium-sized bases and some iconic landmarks.

"The map is indeed simple, but it marks the position and approximate distance to the Zhonghai Super Base. 1 million kilometers, this distance is indeed far!" Ye Tian murmured.

In his previous life, 1 million kilometers would be extremely exaggerated, but in this world, it was a normal distance.

This was because the Earth had expanded too much!

"It seems that the Earth has expanded far more than just a few hundred times. If it had only expanded a few hundred times, the distance between the Demon Sea Base and the Zhonghai Super Base couldn't be 1 million kilometers!" Ye Tian pondered.

The entire map didn't even have the coastline drawn, probably because they had never been to the seaside. Rumors were that there were great horrors by the sea, but what exactly those horrors were, Ye Tian didn't know. Even king-level individuals dared not approach the seaside.

For this reason, people only knew that the three large bases were near the sea, yet they had never even seen the sea.

"From the southwest direction of the Demon Sea Base, cross 500,000 kilometers, pass a huge river, said to be a branch of the Yangtze River, but now it has turned into a river with a width of thousands of kilometers. This stretch is the most dangerous, without great strength, one simply can't cross the river, even ordinary king-level individuals would perish!"

This was the brief introduction on the map about this stretch of river, and the only introduction.

"No wonder many king-level individuals from the Demon Sea Base dare not go to the Super Base. It's probably because they fear this river!" Ye Tian speculated.

However, he was determined to go. Originally, he planned to take Ye Yu, Xiao Xue, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Zi with him, but not anymore.

It's not that he didn't want to take them, but it was better to wait for a while.

According to Yue Ling, without king-level strength, the Zhonghai Super Base would not accept them.

Ye Yu was only at the peak of the Great Martial Realm, and even if she went to the Zhonghai super base, they wouldn't accept her.

So,

Ye Tian planned to go alone first, then find a way to secure a spot for Ye Yu in the Zhonghai Super Base, and come back to take her later.

"Once I reach the pinnacle of the Grandmaster level and breakthrough to the king level, I'll head straight to the Zhonghai Base…" Ye Tian made up his mind.

In the following time, Ye Tian began to practice hard, hardly ever going out, and only occasionally going out with his sister for a stroll.

As Ye Tian progressed, Ye Yu also advanced. With the massive supply of top-tier beast blood provided by Ye Tian, and her decent talent, she was progressing step by step towards the pinnacle of the Great Martial Realm.

Ye Tian also thought about purchasing an item that could elevate Ye Yu's talent to the extraordinary tier, but such items were not available for purchase. Even the Yun family couldn't obtain them, otherwise, there wouldn't be so few with extraordinary level cultivation talents.

Items that could enhance talents above the top-tier were extremely rare. Once one reached the Morning Star level of cultivation, it was estimated that no such items could be found for further enhancement.

"There should be some in Zhonghai Super Base!" Ye Tian mused, looking forward to the prospects and the resources that the Super Base could offer.

Ye Tian planned to purchase items that could elevate talent to extraordinary-tier in Zhonghai Super Base, regardless of the cost. After all, he only had this one sister, whom he cherished very much.

Time flew, and another month passed.

In this month, Ye Tian increased his strength by 9 elephants, reaching a strength of 62 elephants, and also copied two talents: a high-level tracking talent that could discern the residual scent in the air to track enemies, and a high-level ice talent.

He chose the high-level ice talent because it could freeze rivers, which could be advantageous during combat.

Considering this, he replicated this talent to prepare for the day he would cross the ten-thousand-kilometer wide river, so as not to be at a disadvantage on the river.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian began to continue contemplating arrays. He possessed top-level array talent, and it would be a waste not to study arrays.

Moreover,

The cultivation room where Ye Tian was currently closed-door cultivating only had a mid-level Qi Gathering Array. However, he knew of high-level Qi Gathering Arrays, which could gather more than ten times the yuan force.

With his Morning Star-level cultivation talent and the Purple Blood Refining Technique, cultivating in an environment with ten times the yuan force would undoubtedly increase his cultivation speed significantly.

Therefore, to achieve an increase in cultivation speed, Ye Tian occasionally studied array patterns, aiming to elevate his formation array talent to the level of a senior array master. Whether he could acquire a high-tier Qi Gathering Array would be a concern for the future.

Two months later, Ye Tian's physical strength had increased to 80 elephants. He had tempered all his meridians except one. By this time, he had mastered 120 array patterns, reaching the level of a senior array master.

Subsequently,

He made a trip to the Array Master Association, wanting to obtain the high-level Qi Gathering Array, but only after careful inquiry did he learn that indeed the Array Master Association had the high-level Qi Gathering Array, but it was not easily accessible, being only in the possession of a top-level array master.

And that top-level array master was not selling the high-level Qi Gathering Array, even king-level individuals could not purchase it, as that top-level array master was also of king-level.

People are selfish, wanting to keep the good things for themselves, unwilling to share with others.

Ye Tian understood this very well.

Left with no choice, Ye Tian could only give up.

"There is only one place where the high-level Qi Gathering Array design can be obtained!"

Ye Tian thought of the Shanghe Array Tower.

King Shanghe was also a top-level array master back then, and he should have the design of the high-level Qi Gathering Array, but obtaining the design from the Shanghe Array Tower was somewhat difficult.

Because each time one passed a level in the Shanghe Array Tower, only one design could be obtained, and what design it was depended on luck. Repeating the tower yielded no reward, so everyone had limited opportunities.

"Nine levels of assessment, passing the nine levels one could become a disciple of King Shanghe, but everyone gave up the assessment after passing the eighth level. It's estimated that becoming a disciple of King Shanghe has some hidden secrets, otherwise, no one would be uninterested in King Shanghe's legacy."

Ye Tian speculated.

Therefore, he could only obtain eight designs, but he had already passed three levels, obtaining three array designs, leaving only five chances.

But the design of the high-level Qi Gathering Array couldn't possibly appear on the fourth or fifth level. It's estimated that only after the seventh or eighth level assessment would there be a chance for the Qi Gathering Array to drop, making the probability even lower.

"Let's leave it to luck!" Thought Ye Tian.
