The Changling River.
On this day, one King-level martial artist after another arrived at this location. Each of them had an aura far surpassing that of an ordinary King-level practitioner, and any King Beasts that approached them were instantly killed.
In a short while, over 100 King-level practitioners had gathered along a certain part of the Changling River's bank, and more were still arriving.
"We're here!"
Ye Tian descended from the sky and landed beside the Changling River. Scanning the area, he saw many King-level martial artists.
"Ye Tian, you've co too?"
A soft voice called out to him.
Ye Tian looked over and recognized a familiar face—Holy Maiden Xiyue.
"Yes," Ye Tian nodded lightly.
At this mont, Holy Maiden Xiyue approached him.
Ye Tian noticed many hostile glances coming his way, clearly from Holy Maiden Xiyue's admirers, who seed to harbor animosity towards him.
He didn’t care about these gazes, considering them as insignificant as 'one-four-seven' — a group of nobodies.
"Ye Tian, I didn't expect that you'd be able to get a temple key so soon after arriving at the Zhonghai Super Base?" Holy Maiden Xiyue was curious.
"Soone gave it to !" Ye Tian replied briefly, not elaborating.
"I see," Holy Maiden Xiyue nodded, sowhat understanding. She assud it was given by a Martial Emperor of the Loose Cultivators Alliance, considering they had quotas too.
Ye Tian saw that Holy Maiden Xiyue seed to have misunderstood but didn't bother to explain.
"Holy Maiden Xiyue, how much do you know about the temple relics?" Ye Tian asked.
"Not much, this is also my first ti coming here. But a senior from the Moon God Sect once visited and shared so information with . The temple space is vast, with many buildings inside. The treasures are hidden in these buildings. Since each person can only take one treasure and is then teleported out, unable to re-enter the buildings, many treasures remain unclaid. However, getting the treasures is quite difficult, as most of the buildings have guardians," Holy Maiden Xiyue explained.
"Guardians?"
This was the first ti Ye Tian heard about this; Wang Yan hadn’t ntioned it, probably because she didn't know either. Given Wang Yan's relatively low status in the Battle Axe rcenary Hall and her inadequate strength to enter the temple space, she likely didn’t know much about it.
"Yes, guardians. They are like golden armored spirits, appearing as real people, but they are actually a type of puppet—very lifelike puppets," Holy Maiden Xiyue continued. "Only by defeating these guardians can one enter the buildings and take a treasure."
"Thank you, Holy Maiden Xiyue," Ye Tian expressed his gratitude.
"It's nothing. You would have found out soon enough once you're inside. I just ntioned it a bit earlier," Holy Maiden Xiyue replied with a slight smile.
Ye Tian chatted briefly with Holy Maiden Xiyue, but his talent-copying ability was constantly observing the other martial artists.
"There are quite a few with Morning Star-level cultivation talents, even a few with Moonlight-level cultivation talents!"
Ye Tian didn’t care much about these Morning Star-level and Moonlight-level cultivation talents since he already had a Dawn-level cultivation talent. He was more interested in the special talents of these King-level practitioners.
As ti passed, more and more King-level practitioners arrived, essentially dividing into two major camps: the Zhonghai Super Base camp and the Long River Super Base camp!
In the Long River Super Base, there were also Witchn and Tri-eyed people, but there was an additional race — the Sea people. The Sea people looked almost the sa as normal humans, but lifting their clothes revealed sparse scales on their bodies, and their respiratory structures were slightly different from normal humans.
The Sea people were originally humans who had been forced to enter a secret realm in the sea. Over the long passage of ti, they evolved into their current form. Unfortunately, a hundred years ago, disaster struck, and nurous ferocious beasts occupied the ocean, including the secret realm of the Sea people. With no choice, they fled along the Yangtze River and ultimately joined the Long River Super Base.
Ye Tian noticed that most of the Sea people possessed water-related talents, making them much more powerful in water than other King-level practitioners.
Another half-hour passed, and the King-level practitioners from both super bases had almost all arrived.
"Not a single Mystic-level talent!"
Ye Tian realized just how rare Mystic-level talents were to erge. Even with the assistance of treasures like the War God Stele, it was difficult for practitioners to achieve Mystic-level talents.
However, two talents piqued Ye Tian's interest: a 50% Pseudo-Mystic-level defense talent and a 70% Pseudo-Mystic-level strength talent.
The 70% Pseudo-Mystic-level strength talent belonged to Feng Lu Xue, the number one on the King Ranking of the Zhonghai Super Base, and the 50% Pseudo-Mystic-level defense talent belonged to a witchman nad Tige from the Long River Super Base.
"If I copy Tige's 50% Pseudo-Mystic-level defense talent, my Pseudo-Mystic-level talent should directly transform into a Mystic-level defense talent. And with my strength talent already at 70% Pseudo-Mystic-level, copying Feng Lu Xue's talent might transform it into a Mystic-level strength talent too!"
Ye Tian was indeed tempted...
But he had a problem: his talent-copying ability was still two days away from cooldown. He couldn't copy any talents right now.
"If only I hadn't copied earlier and saved it for now!"
Regret was useless at this point, so Ye Tian could only hope to encounter them in the temple space and secretly copy their talents then.
"It should be about ti!" a King-level practitioner suddenly spoke up.
The other King-levels nodded in agreent, and sure enough, within ten minutes, a light erged from the bottom of the Changling River, piercing through the water surface and into the sky.
The Temple Relics had appeared!
"Space fluctuations!"
Ye Tian felt strong spatial vibrations.
He then rembered what Wang Yan had ntioned. The Temple Relics were at the river bottom, but they could only be found once every ten years. At other tis, they were utterly untraceable, even by Emperors.
"Now I understand. The Temple Relics must be hidden in a space between layers. Unless one can break through the space and find the specific location of the Relics, it’s impossible to find them," Ye Tian realized.
"Let's go down!"
A King-level practitioner was the first to jump into the Changling River, and a battle comnced below.
The Changling River was a paradise for ferocious beasts, with nurous King Beasts and occasionally even Saint-level beasts. Without strong abilities, one might not even reach the gates of the Temple Relics.
Ye Tian also leaped into the Changling River.
Back then, when he had crossed the Changling River alone, he was extrely cautious of encountering powerful beasts and quickly traversed it with Xiao Xue. But now, his strength was many tis greater than before. The Changling River was no longer a significant challenge for him. Even ordinary Saint-level beasts could be easily slain with a single strike.
A five-star King-level practitioner was enough to contend with an ordinary Saint-level, and Ye Tian's true combat power was at the eight-star King-level, probably even stronger than a typical eight-star King-level practitioner.
In the Changling River.
Countless beasts surged towards him, but Ye Tian effortlessly slew them with his sword, including those with powerful talents. Soon, he reached the bottom of the Changling River...
