TL: Etude
While Ye Tian kept himself hidden, within the fourth round of the assessment world, numerous God-level examiners were eliminated one by one by the powerful creatures of this world. Even the first-tier Invincible Eternal Children found it difficult to contend once they encountered danger.
In the midst of the mountains.
Ye Tian hid quietly, not presumptuous enough to survey his surroundings, for fear that it might expose his location.
It was better to hide like this.
However, clearly, the Hall of Primordial Ancestry would not allow him to continue hiding indefinitely.
Suddenly.
Ye Tian sensed a dangerous aura as a massive creature appeared in the skies above the mountain range where he was located.
It resembled a gigantic Kun, its aura unmistakably reaching the Great God level—not just any Great God level, but that of a terrifyingly powerful Great God.
In terms of strength, Ye Tian did not consider himself a match for this creature.The creature roared.
Then, it fiercely unleashed a water column towards the mountain range where Ye Tian was located.
This water column struck down, shattering numerous peaks in the process.
Immediately, Ye Tian fled, using his God-level spatial talents to teleport continuously in an attempt to evade the creature.
But the creature had clearly noticed Ye Tian’s presence and pursued him.
Fortunately, the creature was not particularly fast and could not catch up with Ye Tian, who possessed God-level spatial talents, allowing him to successfully escape.
Through this incident, Ye Tian confirmed something.
The creatures in this world must be illusions created artificially, not real beings, because he did not sense any talents from these creatures.
Previous cursed beasts possessed such talents, but this creature did not; however, it seemed like a real creature.
Thus, this creature must not be real but an illusion, just so realistic that even Ye Tian could not discern it with his physical body or divine sense. But no matter how realistic, it could not deceive Ye Tian’s cloning talent.
Moreover, these creatures seemed to have the ability to detect outsiders, perhaps a permission granted by Hall of Primordial Ancestry. As such, no matter how he changed, he could not avoid these creatures.
Once these creatures approached him, they would discover his presence and then attack him.
Therefore, hiding was not a way to avoid danger, but running around blindly was even more dangerous.
As just seen, if it had been any other Prince, they certainly would not have escaped.
Subsequently, every so often, Ye Tian would be attacked again. The creatures that attacked him were all above the Great God level and were not ordinary Great God-level beings.
Thus, Ye Tian fled time after time, nearly losing his life on several occasions.
As time passed, the number of God-level examiners in this world dwindled, and even Prince Xuefeng of the Demon Race was unexpectedly eliminated in an accident, truly an instance of bad luck.
In a forest.
Ye Tian hid here, thinking he could stay for a while, but unexpectedly, he encountered an even more terrifying creature.
Thunderous rumbling! Out of the void, a giant python emerged, targeting Ye Tian and launching an attack.
Its powerful aura had already surpassed, reaching the Planetary System level. And among the Planetary System level, it was considered invincible, likely even surpassing Planetary System level beings like True Monarch Jin Chen.
Ye Tian wielded his saber and fiercely slashed down, but the saber qi struck the giant’s body like a wooden sword against steel, instantly shattering and not harming the creature in the slightest.
Just as Ye Tian was about to be eliminated, he activated his substitution talent, swapping places between his real body and a substitute clone.
Immediately, Ye Tian’s substitute clone was annihilated by the giant python, while Ye Tian’s real body left the area and arrived at another location.
“Fortunately, I had prepared in advance and left the substitute clone here, otherwise I would have definitely been eliminated!” Ye Tian murmured.
The only pity was that his substitution talent couldn’t be activated again in the short term. If Ye Tian encountered danger next time, he would truly be eliminated.
However, Ye Tian was lucky for the next day as he didn’t encounter any significant dangers.
But the following day, Ye Tian’s luck turned poor. He encountered a Galaxy-level creature. A mere glance from the creature caused Ye Tian to completely lose consciousness. When he came to, he found himself in a large hall.
Clearly, he had been eliminated.
“I wonder if I’m the person who survived the longest,” Ye Tian thought to himself.
Just then, the voice of the spirit of the artifact descended: “Examiner, congratulations on being the second-longest surviving God-level participant. You may now receive your reward and choose it!”
“Second-longest,” Ye Tian was not disappointed.
The fourth round of the assessment not only tested strength but also relied heavily on luck. If there were no other powerful creatures nearby, one would not die. For an assessment that was half based on luck, achieving second place was quite good. He did not harbor too many expectations.
Soon, a collection of treasures was presented before Ye Tian, allowing him to choose one.
Ye Tian followed his intuition and selected a saber-shaped crystal that felt useful.
He did not know exactly what this item was, but since it felt useful, he took it.
After Ye Tian collected the saber-shaped crystal, he was transported away from the Hall of Primordial Ancestry, directly leaving the void where it was located and returning to the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
He was unsure if the Supremes had come out, nor did he inquire; his first action was to check his gains.
First was the saber-shaped crystal; not knowing its purpose yet, he naturally wanted to examine it first.
Quickly, he learned from the information contained within the saber-shaped crystal about its origins and uses.
“Heart of the Saber Soul!”
That was the name of this crystal. Its uses were broad, aiding in the comprehension of the Saber Dao and enhancing the speed of cultivating saber techniques, but its most important function was assisting in the condensation of the essence of the Saber Dao’s rules.
The Heart of the Saber Soul internally contained a natural essence of the Saber Dao, a priceless treasure. Even a Supreme Saber wielder encountering such a Heart of the Saber Soul would surely be moved.
“What a treasure! My essence of the Saber Dao’s rules has always been lacking a bit. Now that I’ve obtained the Heart of the Saber Soul, I can completely condense the essence of the Saber Dao’s rules. Soon, I will be able to perfect the Heavenly Moon Saber to the level of the strongest peak saber dao ultimate technique.
And in the future, when I enter areas where the rules are blocked, I can still exhibit the power of the saber dao ultimate techniques, unrestricted by the region.”
Ye Tian was exceedingly excited and immediately began refining and absorbing the Heart of the Saber Soul, trying to break through the last barriers and condense the essence of the Saber Dao’s rules.
Time slowly passed, and before long, a year had gone by.
Most of the powerful beings from the various cosmic races had come out of the Hall of Primordial Ancestry, with only a few Supremes and dominators still lingering inside.
At this time, Ye Tian had no time to pay attention to these matters. He was continuously absorbing and refining the Heart of the Saber Soul, and with its aid, was condensing his own essence of the Saber Dao’s rules.
On this day.
Strands of the Saber Dao’s rules began to emerge from inside Ye Tian’s body, gathering more and more, showing signs of evolving into the essence of the Saber Dao’s rules.
“I’m going to succeed!”
Ye Tian was tremendously excited.
