Chapter 163: Invisibility Talent and Top-Tier Disguise!

TL: Etude

"Chen Fei, just set up a basic array. It's quite simple for you and will put Lord Ye Tian's mind at ease!" a Martial King spoke.

"Lord, I… I have been injured during my recent retreat. My soul is damaged, and I'm afraid I can't set up a basic array!" Chen Fei said nervously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The faces of the King-level figures changed, sensing something amiss, and surrounded Chen Fei.

Soul damage?

How could a mere Great Martial Warrior suffer soul damage during cultivation, especially without the ability to cultivate mental strength? Did he think he failed in refining his mental strength at the King level?

"Lord Ye Tian, is this man really a ferocious beast?"

Yun Mengli was uncertain.

He scanned carefully with his mental strength, even scanning the flesh, but found not even a trace of ferocious beast aura – it was completely a human body!

But Chen Fei suddenly claimed he couldn't set up an array, while Ye Tian was utterly convinced Chen Fei was a ferocious beast. What was going on?

"Have you heard of the talent for disguise?" Ye Tian asked.

Yun Mengli nodded, "I've heard of it, but never seen it!"

"This person is a ferocious beast using his talent for disguise to appear human. A ferocious beast daring to disguise as a human, quite bold!" Ye Tian's aura oppressively targeted Chen Fei.

Realizing he was exposed, Chen Fei vanished instantly.

"Where is he?"

Yun Mengli and the others were shocked.

Chen Fei had escaped right under their noses, undetected by their mental strength.

What kind of method was this?

At this moment, they fully believed that Chen Fei was a ferocious beast!

No, it should be that the ferocious beast had transformed into Chen Fei; the real Chen Fei must be dead.

"Trying to run?"

Ye Tian sneered.

The opponent's methods were indeed bizarre, even his divine consciousness struggled to detect its existence. But under the copy talent, the opponent's talent situation was completely exposed.

Type: Ming Illusion Beast

Bloodline Talent: Extraordinary

Disguise Talent: Top-tier

Illusion Talent: Basic

Invisibility Talent: Top-tier

Ming Spear Talent: Top-tier

These were the talents of this Ming Illusion Beast. Judging from the talents, the beast's abilities were truly heaven-defying!

Top-tier disguise talent, top-tier invisibility talent, and top-tier Ming Spear talent – this Ming Spear talent seemed to be an offensive type.

With these three top-tier talents, and its bloodline talent being extraordinary, it could grow to a King beast level, though it was currently just at a high-level ferocious beast level. With these talents, killing a normal Martial Grandmaster would be effortless.

Even facing a King or Saint, without a method to counter the invisibility talent, it would be hard to detect it.

"Die!"

Ye Tian pointed his finger.

With a pfft sound!

The body of the Ming Illusion Beast was pierced by Ye Tian's finger, its invisibility talent forced, and the corpse fell to the ground.

In front of everyone's eyes, the human form of Chen Fei transformed back into the corpse of a ferocious beast.

This ferocious beast's corpse wasn't large, about a meter tall, covered in white fur, somewhat resembling a cat, yet also a tiger, clearly identifying its ferocious beast identity.

"Indeed, it was a ferocious beast!" Yun Mengli exclaimed in anger.

They, a group of King-level figures, had been deceived by a high-level ferocious beast, and even when Ye Tian personally identified it as a ferocious beast, they had actually defended it.

"Lord Ye Tian, it is our ignorance. Please forgive us!" the King-level figures apologized.

"No matter, you all may step back. I will take this ferocious beast's corpse," Ye Tian said, waving his hand to collect the beast's body and its storage bag.

There were many empty houses here, and Ye Tian randomly chose one to settle in.

Then, he took out the corpse of the Ming Illusion Beast.

"Invisibility talent, copy!"

"Disguise talent, copy!"

Ye Tian sequentially copied these two talents.

Although he already possessed the talent for disguise, it was only a high-level disguise talent, whereas the top-tier disguise talent was undoubtedly more perfect.

Soon, both talents were successfully integrated.

Immediately, Ye Tian tested the disguise talent and found he could disguise himself as various types of ferocious beasts, like rats, lions, cats, dogs, etc., not limited to humanoid ferocious beasts. This was far more impressive than the high-level disguise talent.

As for the invisibility talent!

Upon understanding it, Ye Tian marveled at the talent's incredible power.

Once invisible, one would be undetectable by mental strength and divine consciousness, unless there were special talents that counter invisibility or if someone was powerful enough to see through the void. Otherwise, it was nearly impossible to spot a user of top-tier invisibility talent.

"What powerful talents. If the Ming Illusion Beast hadn't encountered me, it would have been impossible for it to die!" Ye Tian remarked with a smile.

Running into him was simply bad luck for the Ming Illusion Beast, and the ferocious beasts would probably mourn its loss, considering its unique status among them.

Next, Ye Tian took out the storage bag, originally belonging to Chen Fei but used by the Ming Illusion Beast. Perhaps the treasure was inside this bag, which was why he had taken it.

Upon refining the storage bag and scanning it with his divine consciousness, he saw everything inside.

Quickly, he found an extraordinary item.

It was a bead, imbued with a mysterious aura.

"The Water Dragon Pearl!" Ye Tian was astounded.

This was clearly a dragon pearl from a water dragon, emitting the mysterious aura of water.

"I understand now. The scent of the Water Dragon Pearl is too deadly for ferocious sea beasts. They sensed its presence and came here. But the range of the pearl's aura is limited, so deeper ferocious sea beasts couldn't sense it. Otherwise, Saint-level ferocious beasts would have appeared, and Yun Mengli and the others wouldn't have been able to stop them!"

Ye Tian felt fortunate for arriving early and uncovering the Ming Illusion Beast's scheme. Otherwise, if the beast had lured countless ferocious sea beasts here, this place would have been overrun.

Ye Tian didn't take out the Water Dragon Pearl, keeping it in the storage bag, fearing that removing it might attract the attention of the ferocious sea beasts and provoke another attack.

To ensure there was no danger here, Ye Tian decided to stay for half a month before leaving.

Thus, Ye Tian began cultivating.

He was practicing the Golden Body Yuan Force Secret Technique recorded in the Golden Body Refining Soul Technique, which was much more effective than the Azure Energy Secret Art.

Even so, opening the brain domain was extremely slow.

Because opening the brain domain couldn't use yuan force but required the cultivation method to drive the divine consciousness to slowly open it, consuming mental strength, not yuan force. Only when 1% of the deep brain domain was opened would it absorb a large amount of yuan force to refine the body, increasing physical strength, defense, and speed.

In a top-tier cultivation room, one could save time absorbing yuan force and progress a bit faster.

However, for Ye Tian, cultivating outside or in a cultivation room made little difference. Top-tier or high-level cultivation rooms were more beneficial for Xiao Xue and Ye Yu.

What truly determined the speed of cultivation to the Saint level was the cultivation method and talent, with talent accounting for ninety percent of the importance. Of course, if there were treasures that aided in opening the brain domain, the cultivation speed could be increased, but Ye Tian only had one such treasure, found in the temple space, and it wouldn't last many days.

According to Ye Tian's estimate, if he wanted to cultivate to the peak of the Saint level without significant fortuitous encounters, it would take at least ten years…
