Chapter 189: The Emperor Level Cultivation Method!

TL: Etude

Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes, concluding his cultivation session.

At this moment, he had opened up 80% of his deep brain domain. Initially, he had already opened up 34% of it. After spending a month in the Moon God Pavilion, he managed to open up an additional 46%, bringing the total to 80%. His physical strength had reached the level of 8 Dragon Power.

Whoosh!

Ye Tian was expelled from the Moon God Pavilion, landing in front of Empress Yue.

"Ye Tian, your cultivation level…" Empress Yue covered her mouth in shock. Before, Ye Tian had only opened up a little over 30% of his deep brain domain. Yet, after just one month in the Moon God Pavilion, he had suddenly reached the level of opening 80% of it. What kind of cultivation speed was this?

"I have decent talent, so my cultivation is a bit faster!" was all Ye Tian could say.

Empress Yue looked deeply at Ye Tian, guessing that his talent must be very high, certainly above the Moonlight level in cultivation. However, she refrained from asking too much to avoid offending him.

Seemingly stimulated by Ye Tian, Empress Yue also went into closed-door cultivation.

In the following days, Ye Tian continued to open up his deep brain domain while cultivating the Starfall Slash.

Starfall Slash was a legendary sword technique. Once he successfully learnt it, his strength would increase significantly.

To train the Starfall Slash, Ye Tian occasionally hunted ferocious beasts, often using powerful Saint-level beasts for practice. Of course, this was done without activating his Mystic-level strength talent, using only the semi-complete Starfall Slash against his enemies.

Initially, some powerful Saint-level beasts could withstand a few of Ye Tian's slashes, but eventually, he was able to kill those incredibly strong beasts with a single strike.

Half a month later, he finally mastered the basics of the Starfall Slash!

"My strength should be enough to compete with the Thirty-Six Emperors, right?" Ye Tian thought to himself.

His physical strength had reached 8 Dragon Power. After the amplification of his yuan force, it was 16 Dragon Power. With the 100-fold amplification from his Mystic-level strength talent and the 30-fold increase from the entry level of the legendary Starfall Slash, his maximum attack power reached 48,000 Dragon Power!

What a concept!

A regular Emperor, freshly ascended, would have a physical strength of only about 100 Dragon Power, and after yuan force amplification, only about 200 Dragon Power. In contrast, Ye Tian's attack power was 480 times that of a regular Emperor, easily able to crush a common Emperor.

Of course, compared to the likes of the Battle Axe Emperor, the gap was still significant.

He had inquired from Empress Yue; among the Thirty-Six Emperors, the Battle Axe Emperor's attack power exceeded 1 million Dragon Power, reaching 1.2 million.

This was because the Battle Axe Emperor had a physical strength of 300 Dragon Power, 100-fold amplification from Mystic-level strength talent, 20-fold increase from the perfected Golden-level axe technique, and 2-fold yuan force amplification, totaling 1.2 million Dragon Power.

It was undoubtedly very difficult for Ye Tian's power to reach the level of the Battle Axe Emperor. However, compared to the weaker among the Thirty-Six Emperors, he was not lacking at all.

The weaker Emperors among the Thirty-Six had a maximum attack power of only around 40,000 to 50,000 Dragon Power.

And Ye Tian, in terms of defense and speed, was not weak. Although he was not comparable to the Thirty-Six Emperors, with his top-notch spatial and time talents, he could even kill a weaker one among the Thirty-Six Emperors.

"Next goal: ascend to Emperor level and become the number one person in Zhonghai Super Base!"

Ye Tian secretly set this goal for himself.

After returning from hunting ferocious beasts, Ye Tian looked over at Empress Yue. At this moment, her condition was excellent; her injuries had completely healed, even the internal ones, and her aura was much stronger than before, indicating significant gains from her recent closed-door cultivation.

"Ye Tian, you're back!" Empress Yue opened her eyes, ending her cultivation session.

"Yes!" Ye Tian nodded. "Today, I brought back the meat of a Red Sheep Beast. We can have braised Red Sheep meat for dinner tonight!"

Eating meals was a habit Ye Tian maintained, and although Empress Yue initially didn't fancy eating, she joined in after seeing Ye Tian do so for a few days.

"Alright!" Empress Yue nodded lightly, showing an imperceptible smile.

After dinner, Empress Yue suddenly spoke up, "Ye Tian, I need your help with something."

"What is it?" Ye Tian looked at her, sensing the gravity in her tone.

"In three days, I plan to make a breakthrough to the Innate Moon Spirit Body. Can you help me by guarding during the process?" Empress Yue asked, biting her lip.

"Guarding? Sure!" Ye Tian agreed without hesitation.

Empress Yue quickly explained, "This closed-door session is special. I need to enter the sky above for it. There might be flying ferocious beasts, and perhaps even Emperor-level beasts."

"Why do you need to go above the heavens for the closed-door session?" Ye Tian asked, puzzled.

"Because of the special cultivation method at the Emperor level!" Empress Yue began to explain.

"At the Saint level, it's about opening up the brain domain, but at the Emperor level, it involves absorbing special energy to temper the entire body and breaking through physical limits. Breaking each limit grants 100 Dragon Power. The Battle Axe Emperor, for instance, has broken through his body's limits twice, and so have I. There are several methods to break through these limits. One is to absorb energy related to one's own talent attributes. For example, I have the Mystic-level Moon God talent, allowing me to absorb moon power to temper my body. The Battle Axe Emperor, as far as I know, doesn't have such attribute talents and can only use yuan Qi to temper his body and break limits. At the Emperor level, the Battle Axe Emperor's progress is actually quite slow. Many Emperors have broken through three limits, but he remains at two. However, his top-tier Battle Axe talent and Mystic-level strength talent stack up, making him the strongest in Zhonghai Super Base."

"So, if one has a fire-related talent, they could use fire to temper their body?" Ye Tian asked.

"Exactly!" Empress Yue nodded. "Those with fire talents can use fire to temper their bodies, and those with water talents can use the power of water. Of course, if these attribute talents are not high-level, their tempering effects might be weaker than just using yuan Qi. The talents that can truly rapidly temper the body are the Mystic-level attribute talents. Only they can temper one's body to an Innate Attribute Body, like the Innate Fire Spirit Body, Innate Water Spirit Body, or Innate Moon Spirit Body."

"What if someone has multiple Mystic-level attribute talents? What benefits would that bring?" Ye Tian asked curiously.

Empress Yue's eyes widened, staring at Ye Tian.

"How could someone have that? Having one Mystic-level attribute talent is already against the heavens, let alone multiple. But if someone really had multiple, their cultivation speed would be incredibly fast. Using just one Mystic-level attribute talent has its limits, and it slows down after a certain point, like my current use of moon power [1]. But with multiple talents, like fire, water, and moon, one could first use fire power to temper the body, then water, and then moon power, breaking through limits with ease and much faster than with a single attribute!"

Boom!

Empress Yue's words opened up a grand avenue of possibilities for Ye Tian!
