“Let’s head back!”
Ye Tian brought True Monarch Sundragon back to the human territory.
Afterward, Ye Tian gathered the upper ranks of the human faction and inquired about the details of the situation.
“Husband, many True Monarchs have appeared within our territory recently. Each of them is extrely powerful, and we didn’t dare to offend them recklessly. Moreover, that ruin has already been secretly surrounded by a group of True Monarchs,” Xiao Yue explained.
“What exactly is that ruin? What’s inside?” Ye Tian asked further.
He hadn’t entered that mysterious place, which was suspected to be a ruin, and True Monarch Sundragon also couldn’t enter. All the information they had ca from hearsay, and since Sundragon wasn’t human, his understanding of the situation was certainly less detailed than that of the human leaders.
True Monarch Kunwu said, “The Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, only those who’ve entered the ruin know the specifics. I’ve arranged for a Divine General who has been inside to explain the situation to you.”
Soon, a human prodigy at the seven-star Divine General level entered.
“Greetings, Your Highness, Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws. Greetings, True Monarchs!”
The human prodigy, Yuan Gang, bowed respectfully.
“Yuan Gang, since you’ve been inside that mysterious place, tell what it was like,” Ye Tian asked.
“Your Highness, it appears to be a ruin, but it’s not very large—just a few buildings, and all of them are in ruins. Inside one of the structures, there was a giant blood-colored pool. I entered that pool to cultivate, and it transford my body, making stronger and enhancing my potential significantly,” Yuan Gang answered earnestly.
“Was there anything else?” Ye Tian continued asking.
“There was another building, but although it was in ruins, many areas inside were still shrouded in formations. At that ti, I was only at the Galaxy level and couldn’t even budge the formations. anwhile, those above the Universal God level couldn’t enter the ruin at all. As a result, we have no idea what’s inside that structure,” Yuan Gang explained.
After finishing his report, Yuan Gang took out a piece of black tal from his internal universe and said, “Your Highness, this is sothing I acquired from the ruin. It’s extrely durable—so much so that even with my current strength, I can’t damage it in the slightest. I don’t know what it is, but perhaps Your Highness can identify it.”
“Let take a look.”
Ye Tian took the tal piece and carefully examined it.
“There’s a restriction placed on it,” Ye Tian quickly sensed. He then sent a surge of his powerful divine soul into the tal piece to probe its interior.
Before everyone’s eyes, the piece of tal began to tremble and radiate black light.
At the sa ti, an overwhelming pressure spread outward, forcing everyone to retreat instinctively. They even activated defensive formations to protect themselves from the aura. 𐍂ἈNö𝐛Εᶊ
“Don’t worry. This isn’t a dangerous weapon—it seems to be just an identification token,” Ye Tian’s voice reassured them, allowing them to relax a little.
Boom!
Ye Tian’s divine soul force broke through the restriction and took control of part of the token’s internal chanisms.
However, due to Ye Tian’s overwhelming strength, many of the token’s functions had already been rendered useless.
Still, the remnants of the information within revealed the token’s true origin.
“Blackwind Mountain, Sub-Leader Waist Token!”
From the fragnted information, it beca clear that Blackwind Mountain was a fairly powerful faction, and this token belonged to a re sub-leader of the group.
“That ruin must have been a part of Blackwind Mountain. As for the blood pool, its nature remains a mystery,” Ye Tian concluded.
Imdiately, he explained to the group: “This is a waist token, equivalent to an identity token. It belongs to a sub-leader of Blackwind Mountain. However, we have no idea what kind of faction Blackwind Mountain is.”
“An identity token? That’s useless!”
The human leaders felt disappointed one by one.
If it had been an inheritance token, it would have had considerable value. But being just an identity token, it seed to offer no real benefit.
“No, it still has so use,” Ye Tian said. “I might be able to use this identity token to connect with Blackwind Mountain’s formations, allowing us to access the ruin. If that works, we may even enable powerhouses above the Universal God level to enter the ruin—or better yet, extract the entire blood pool.”
This idea made the human leaders excited.
If they could acquire the blood pool, the strength of the human faction would surely skyrocket! However, if they did take the blood pool, they would also draw the pressure and hostility of external forces. It might be impossible to hold onto it.
Leaving the blood pool in the ruin might be the safest option. But in that case, they wouldn’t be able to fully utilize it.
The ruin didn’t remain open continuously—it only opened once every hundred years, and there was a strict limit on how many could enter. Otherwise, the number of human prodigies would have multiplied exponentially by now.
The next opening was only ten years away.
When that ti ca, other top factions would likely send large numbers of Galaxy-level talents inside to cultivate and raise a new generation of elites.
After the eting,
Ye Tian took the token to the True Ti Pagoda, where he used the tower’s tenthousandfold ti acceleration to begin studying the token.
Gradually, Ye Tian gained deeper insights into the restrictions and formations on the token. Though it appeared to be a simple object, it contained a wealth of information and introduced a completely new system of restrictions.
This token opened the door to an entirely new domain for him.
“This token isn’t simple. If sothing this complex is just an identity token, then Blackwind Mountain must be far more powerful than the Sky Ape Sect,” Ye Tian speculated.
With ten years passing in the outside world, 100,000 years elapsed inside the True Ti Pagoda.
After all that ti, Ye Tian finally deciphered most of the formations on the token.
“It’s ti to go back.”
Ye Tian left the True Ti Pagoda and returned to human territory. He then activated a fragntary communication formation embedded within the token.
Boom!
In the void, a colossal formation linked with the token’s fragntary formation. Ye Tian seized this connection instantly and sensed the location of the massive formation.
It transcended the boundaries of ti and space, existing outside those dinsions entirely.
Crack! The connection broke, and Ye Tian could no longer sense the location of the formation.
“Using this token alone to cross space and enter that place is extrely difficult—though not impossible. But it will require a lot of ti,” Ye Tian murmured.
The real issue now was how to resolve the ownership of the ruin. That was the key.
Only by fully seizing control of the ruin could Ye Tian study it at his leisure.
“I’ll head to the entrance of the ruin first. No matter what, this ruin lies within our human territory. And to outsiders, its value is far lower than that of the Sky Ape Sect ruin. After all, it only allows access to those at the Galaxy level or below. To the True Monarchs, this ruin isn’t particularly valuable—certainly not worth their full effort to compete over.”
This gave Ye Tian hope.
The possibility of monopolizing the ruin was still high—but only if he could intimidate the other factions.
Simply put, a decisive battle with the other factions would be unavoidable!
