Chapter 149: Ancient Civilization Ruins! [Third update, seeking full subscription]

"Investment?"

Ye Tian looked at Wang Yan in surprise, not expecting her to have this intention.

And Wang Yan's guess was very accurate; he indeed hadn't been taken as a disciple by some old monster, nor did he have any background. This was easy to see. His only advantage was his high talent, and talent was the most important thing in this era, more important than any inheritance.

However, high talent doesn't mean one doesn't need opportunities, knowledge, or guidance.

If Ye Tian hadn't obtained the Hurricane King's cultivation insights back then, he wouldn't have tried to forge a perfect Foundation. Perhaps he could have Copied others' Pseudo-Esoteric Grade talents, but without a perfect Foundation, it would have been difficult for him to break the 100-fold amplification limit.

Copy Talent is not omnipotent; it cannot help him break the 100-fold amplification limit. Only a Genius with a perfect Foundation can break it.

Therefore, for some opportunities, one should naturally strive for them if possible.

"Sister Wang, what do you want to invest in me?"

Ye Tian asked directly.

"An ancient civilization ruin similar to the War God Tower. I have a spot, but I know my strength isn't enough. If I went in, not only would I not get any treasures, but there's a high probability I'd lose my life. Many geniuses from Top Tier Factions wanted this spot from me, but I didn't give it to them. I want to give this spot to you. My only request is that you can bring out a treasure that can temper mental power." Wang Yan stated her purpose.

"Ancient civilization ruins?"

Ye Tian asked in surprise, "What are ancient civilization ruins?"

Wang Yan was not surprised that Ye Tian didn't know about ancient civilization ruins. Even in the Zhonghai Super Base, only Core Disciples of Top Tier Factions knew this secret.

"The War God Tower is a treasure left by an ancient civilization ruin!" Wang Yan explained, "Ancient civilization ruins, you can understand them as ruins left from a very long time ago, possibly tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even more distant eras."

"Were there other civilizations before human civilization?"

Ye Tian was shocked.

He had also wondered how a groundbreaking treasure like the War God Tower came to be, and now he understood.

The War God Tower was actually a treasure from an ancient civilization, from a very long time ago.

It was clear that the civilization to which the War God Tower belonged must have been very advanced and powerful.

"What about those ancient civilizations?"

Ye Tian asked.

"Perhaps they were annihilated, or perhaps they left Earth, who knows?" Wang Yan shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.

Ye Tian didn't ask further on this matter, and Wang Yan continued to describe the ancient civilization ruin: "That ancient civilization ruin is a temple. Inside the temple, there's a space, and within that space, there are many treasures, including those that can increase talent, and even treasures that can condense mental power and temper it into Divine Sense. The reason Zhonghai Super Base can produce so many high-talent individuals relies on these treasures. Otherwise, the strength and talent level of Zhonghai Super Base would drop by one or two grades."

"Are there any knife techniques inside?"

Ye Tian asked casually.

He had thought there wouldn't be, but Wang Yan immediately said, "Yes, only a very small number of the elemental power cultivation techniques, knife techniques, sword techniques, spear techniques, and other things in Zhonghai Super Base were created by martial artists; most of them were brought out from ruins. There are indeed knife techniques in that temple, even Gold-level Blade Techniques, but they are very difficult to obtain."

"Even Gold-level Blade Techniques?"

"Even Gold-level Blade Techniques?"

Ye Tian was truly tempted. He really wanted a Gold-level Blade Technique. If he had one, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"Are you really willing to give me this spot?"

Although Ye Tian didn't know how many spots there were to enter the temple, each spot must be extremely precious.

"Of course!" Wang Yan affirmed, "I believe in your strength, and this is an equivalent exchange between us. Isn't this the principle your Loose Cultivator Alliance has always pursued? I give you the spot, you enter the temple, and if you can bring out a treasure that condenses mental power, you give me a share. That's the deal. I'm only at Transcendent Grade Cultivation Talent; relying on talent to temper mental power is out of the question, that speed is too slow, too slow. And to break through to the Saint-Grade, one must temper mental power into Divine Sense. I can only rely on external objects to temper mental power to advance to the Saint-Grade. I have Transcendent Grade Cultivation Talent, so if I use external objects to temper mental power, the success rate is still quite high, at least fifty to sixty percent hope. But treasures that can temper mental power are too rare. Even as the offspring of a Saint-Grade from the Battle Axe Mercenary Hall, I can't get them; they can only be hoped to be obtained from ruins."

"Okay, I agree!"

Ye Tian agreed.

Why wouldn't he agree to something that benefited both parties?

Subsequently, Ye Tian learned more about the temple from Wang Yan.

What concerned Ye Tian was that the Martial Artists who could enter that ruin were not only from the Zhonghai Super Base; Martial Artists from another Super Base also had spots. That Super Base was called Changhe Base, and it was named so because it was built along the Yangtze River.

The Martial Artists of Changhe Base fought fierce beasts in the Yangtze River every day, and there were also two five-star Space Rifts nearby. Although the base had a relatively small population, only 20 million people, 10 million fewer than Zhonghai Super Base, their combat power was exceptionally strong because they were constantly fighting countless fierce beasts, while many Martial Artists in Zhonghai Super Base were somewhat too complacent.

Finally.

Wang Yan reminded him, "Be careful of other Martial Artists. Once inside the temple space, for the sake of treasures, even acquaintances might fight each other, let alone other unfamiliar Martial Artists."

Ye Tian nodded; he naturally knew this.

Human nature is inherently selfish and greedy. There are too few truly noble Martial Artists, and they are not suited to survive in this era.

The Law of the jungle, the strong survive, the weak are eliminated—this is the Law of survival in this era.

Even when facing Wang Yan, he wasn't entirely trusting, still maintaining a hint of vigilance.

As Wang Yan left, she left behind a token, one of the keys to entering the temple. There were a total of 365 keys for the entire temple, and Zhonghai Super Base only possessed 108 of them.

With so many Top Tier Factions in Zhonghai Super Base, yet only 108 keys to enter the temple, and each faction not having many keys, it showed how precious the spots were. Even if Ye Tian joined another Top Tier Faction, they wouldn't give a newly joined person a spot.

If Wang Yan hadn't wanted to invest in him, he wouldn't have been able to get this key at all.

"It opens once every ten years, and there are still two months left. Wang Yan didn't mention one thing: those top-ranked powerhouses on the king ranking who are still staying at the King Grade are probably also waiting for this Opportunity in the temple ruins!"

Ye Tian guessed.

With Wang Yan's reminder, he wouldn't rush to break through to the Saint-Grade in a short time. He could easily break through to the Saint-Grade, but knowing that his comprehension would greatly increase during the breakthrough to the Saint-Grade, that changed things.

Although he could Copy others' talents, Profound Meaning Grade talent was too rare; he had never seen one, and even Shui Qian Yue, who was eighth on the saint rank, didn't have Profound Meaning Grade talent.

His Defense Talent had already reached 70% Pseudo-Profound Meaning level. When breaking through to the Saint-Grade, he could comprehend it to the Profound Meaning Grade, meaning he would have one talent that could reach the Profound Meaning Grade, but he still wanted more Profound Meaning Grade talents.

"The next goal is to Copy one Pseudo-Esoteric Grade talent after another to the 70% Pseudo-Profound Meaning Grade Realm!"

Ye Tian set another small goal.
