This developnt was completely unexpected for Ye Tian. It had to be a good thing. Perhaps these things ford after absorbing a certain amount of Elental Energy.
In truth, Ye Tian didn't know that the tiny beads forming inside him were Elental Pearls. They could form once the Elent in one's body reached a certain quantity, but a true Elental Pearl was the size of an egg.
The two tiny beads inside him could only be considered embryos of Elental Pearls. To truly form them, he would need a vast amount of powerful Elental Energy.
After studying them for a long ti without finding any clues, Ye Tian decided to ignore them and continued absorbing the Energy from the Gold Elent Magic Crystals.
Absorbing Magic Crystals was a very tedious process. By the ti Ye Tian had finished absorbing the Gold Elent Magic Crystals the Snake King had given him, nearly ten days had passed. The golden pearl inside his body was now slightly larger than the one shimring with lightning.
All that remained was the Golden Bull Demon's Magic Crystal. By now, Ye Tian no longer felt any discomfort when absorbing Magic Crystals; as soon as the Gold Elental Energy entered his body, it was imdiately drawn into the golden pearl.
Ye Tian considered absorbing the Golden Bull Demon's Magic Crystal but ultimately restrained himself. The crystal was simply too precious; it might have a greater use in the future.
It was precisely because of this decision that he would later co into a considerable fortune.
Ye Tian stood up. Seeing the Snake King still standing guard at the cave entrance, he felt a pang of gratitude.
"Snake King, co in for a mont. I have sothing to discuss with you," Ye Tian called out to the Snake King.
Hearing Ye Tian call him, the Snake King flickered and instantly appeared before him. "Sir, you wished to see ? Are you finished absorbing the Magic Crystals? I can go get you so more!"
"No need. I'm not going to absorb any more Magic Crystals for now," Ye Tian said. "I called you over because I want to see if there really is a Gold Elent Vein in that corner and if we can open it up. If we can get to a Gold Attribute Vein, it would be far more convenient than using Magic Crystals."
"A good point, Sir. I had the sa idea, but I didn't bring it up since you were in the middle of your Cultivation. Shall we go take a look now?" the Snake King said.
Ye Tian nodded, and the two of them walked over to the ssy corner. The Snake Bone Sword appeared in the Snake King's hand. After a quick glance at his surroundings, he slashed out with the sword.
'I hope his Attack Power isn't so great that he brings the whole cave down,' Ye Tian worried. But his concern was clearly unnecessary.
The Snake King was a Tier Five Demon Beast, and his control over his own strength was naturally far superior to Ye Tian's. His strike blasted through the ground, connecting all the separate pits.
They rged into one giant chasm. The ground shook continuously, but no rocks fell from the ceiling.
The Snake King flickered and leaped into the chasm. He carefully inspected the situation, his expression growing grave.
After a long mont, he finally spoke. "Sir, this seems to be a natural Barrier. With my current strength, I am unable to break it. The Barrier isn't exceptionally powerful, but it is incredibly resilient."
"The stronger the attack, the stronger the rebound force. You'll only end up injuring yourself with the reflected power."
Ye Tian was slightly taken aback. 'If even the Snake King can't break it, then there's no hope.' But he wasn't ready to give up. "Are there any other ways?"
"It's not that there are no other ways, but they're basically impossible," the Snake King said. "Unless the King himself were to appear now. With his power, he could probably break this Barrier. But there's no way for him to show up right now."
Ye Tian recalled that the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python did indeed have such power. It was he who had broken the barrier between the Ordinary Demon Beast Region and the High-Level Demon Beast Region. But Ye Tian had no idea what his current condition was.
He wouldn't dare disturb him recklessly. What if he was at a critical mont in his recovery? Interrupting him could cause a cultivation deviation, which would be disastrous.
"So what was the other thod you ntioned?" Ye Tian asked.
"The other way is to use a Divine Weapon to break the Barrier. But the weapon must be a Divine Artifact. Finding a Divine Artifact is next to impossible. It's doubtful anyone in the entire Celestial Dragon Empire possesses one," the Snake King explained.
Hearing this, Ye Tian was suddenly overjoyed. A brilliant smile spread across his face, leaving the Snake King bewildered.
"Sir, what are you smiling about? Don't tell you know soone who has a Divine Artifact? That's impossible!" the Snake King asked in confusion.
"You're right. I have a Divine Artifact right here. Can you use it to break this barrier?" As Ye Tian finished speaking, a thought was all it took to retrieve the Black Glaze Sword from his Storage Ring.
"Sir, you're saying you have a Divine Artifact? That's impossible! A Divine Artifact isn't just so ordinary Weapon!" the Snake King said, his face a mask of astonishnt. He truly couldn't believe Ye Tian's words.
But when he saw the Black Glaze Sword in Ye Tian's hand, his expression filled with doubt. "Sir, this is the Divine Artifact you ntioned? Why don't I sense the domineering aura a Divine Artifact should have? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"That's right, it's a Divine Artifact. Give it a try. See if you can break this invisible barrier," Ye Tian said, tossing the Black Glaze Sword to the Snake King.
Half-believing, half-doubting, the Snake King caught it. He was shocked the mont his hand closed around the hilt. He hadn't expected the plain, pitch-black longsword to be so heavy.
A mont later, a searing pain shot through his palm, as if he were being burned by fire. As a reflex, he instinctively dropped the Black Glaze Sword to the ground.
"Sir, what in the world is this sword? Why does it harm people?" the Snake King asked, staring at his palm, which had turned red.
"This is a Divine Artifact. I seem to have forgotten—only I can use the Black Glaze Sword. Anyone else who tries will be hard by it. It's just that my own strength is too low... I don't know if I'll be able to break the barrier," Ye Tian said, picking the sword up.
Watching Ye Tian lift the Black Glaze Sword as if it weighed nothing, the Snake King was baffled. "Sir, has this Divine Artifact already acknowledged you as its master?"
Ye Tian thought for a mont, then nodded. 'The Black Glaze Sword must have acknowledged as its master. It's just that I can't fully unleash its power yet. The true might of a Divine Artifact has yet to be displayed.'
"Sir, why don't you try to break the barrier?" the Snake King urged. "This barrier isn't that powerful. It can be broken as long as one has a Divine Weapon. Trying to use brute force will only backfire. That's why I think you have a very good chance."
Ye Tian then released his Divine Sense, wanting to pinpoint the exact location of the barrier to make his strike easier. Soon, he sank into a state of deep ditation.
After a long while, Ye Tian discovered that the barrier seed to be composed of Gold Elent Particles. When t with a powerful attack, their indestructible attribute would manifest.
