! [Third update, asking for monthly votes]

Aided by his Top-Tier Comprehension Talent and Pseudo-Profound Time Talent, Ye Tian's comprehension of the Dao of the Blade was incredibly fast, reaching an unbelievable speed.

In just over ten days, Ye Tian had elevated his Dao of the Blade to 70% mastery. After reaching 70%, the improvement of his Dao of the Blade became relatively slow.

Source Divine Objects are also graded, and this Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object is definitely a lower-grade one. The Yun Family's Source Divine Objects are also relatively low-grade, so once Ye Tian's Dao of the Blade reached 70%, its effect became very weak.

However, Ye Tian was not greedy; he only hoped to raise his Dao of the Blade to above 75%.

Although spending 150 years just to raise the Dao of the Blade to 75% would certainly be unacceptable to other Peerless Genius, after all, their lifespans are only about 300 years. How could they bear to spend such a long time to improve this small bit of Dao of the Blade?

But Ye Tian was not worried! He had a lifespan of 130 years; what was a mere 150 years? As long as he could raise his Dao of the Blade to above 75%, Ye Tian could Cultivate Supreme Level knife technique, making his strength much greater than it was now.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.

One year in the outside world meant Ye Tian had comprehended for a full thirty years under the Time Talent. He had now raised his Dao of the Blade to the 73% Realm, not far from the 75% Realm.

Of course.

Ye Tian didn't always focus on comprehending the Dao of the Blade; occasionally, he would also Cultivate other aspects, such as comprehending Time Talent, comprehending the Dao of the Palm, and so on…

"According to my calculations, I'm afraid it will take another three years to raise my Dao of the Blade to 75%!"

Ye Tian frowned.

These three years were three years in the outside world. Taking such a long time to raise the Dao of the Blade to 75% indeed exceeded Ye Tian's budget.

He had initially expected that he could raise the Dao of the Blade to the 75% Realm in a year or two, but he hadn't expected the effect of this Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object to worsen over time.

Currently, the power of this Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object was continuously weakening, and its aura was becoming increasingly faint.

After all, Ye Tian had used it for so long, consuming a lot of its power and making its Origin increasingly weak.

"Continue comprehending!"

Ye Tian muttered.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed in the outside world.

By this time, Ye Tian had been at the Sword Emperor Sect for a full four years.

On this day.

Ye Tian burst into wild laughter—"Hahaha, my Dao of the Blade has finally reached the 75% Realm!"

Ye Tian was extremely excited.

This meant he could Cultivate the Heartless Divine Knife Technique, a Supreme Level knife technique! So, Ye Tian didn't continue comprehending the Dao of the Blade. Anyway… if he continued, he wouldn't be able to raise his Dao of the Blade to 76%, so it was better to use the time to Cultivate the Heartless Divine Knife Technique.

The Heartless Divine Knife Technique is a Supreme Level knife technique, inherently difficult to Cultivate. If he relied solely on himself, it would probably take a lot of time to master it.

But with the help of the Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object, it could be mastered to the introductory level in a short time.

Thus, Ye Tian began cultivating the Heartless Divine Knife Technique in this grand hall, with the aid of the Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object.

The Heartless Divine Knife Technique required a strong state of mind and a 75% mastery of the Dao of the Blade, both conditions that Ye Tian met. Therefore, there were no Bottlenecks during the cultivation process.

Day after day passed.

In the blink of an eye, three months went by.

During these three months, Ye Tian did not use his Time Talent but cultivated normally.

Three months of arduous cultivation allowed Ye Tian to finally master the Heartless Divine Knife Technique to the introductory level, but he did not stop there and continued to Cultivate it.

He wanted to Cultivate the Heartless Divine Knife Technique to a more proficient level, making it even more effortless to use.

And so—Ye Tian stayed there for a full five years before finally emerging from the grand hall.

When Ye Tian left the grand hall, Black Abyss Sword Lord of the Sword Emperor Sect arrived at the hall, preparing to take away the Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object.

Previously, the Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object was not here, but in the Sword Emperor Sect's treasury.

He was the one who placed the Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object here, as it wouldn't do to let Ye Tian enter the Sword Emperor Sect's treasury to comprehend this Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object! But when Black Abyss Sword Lord entered the grand hall and saw the Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object, he was instantly stunned.

"What's going on?"

Black Abyss Sword Lord was dumbfounded.

Now, this Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object had almost lost its former glory, appearing like an ordinary weapon.

Even the Law patterns on it were faintly invisible, and its aura was extremely weak, completely unlike a Source Divine Object.

Black Abyss Sword Lord naturally understood what this meant: it was clearly a sign that the source of a Source Divine Object had been exhausted.

Such a Source Divine Object was almost useless, practically废物, and very difficult to recover.

The cost of restoring such a Source Divine Object would be no less than the value of a true Source Divine Object.

"Impossible, Wan Fa Genius has only cultivated for five years. How much energy could he alone consume from a Source Divine Object… How could he make the Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object look like this?"

"Could it be that he has a way to completely absorb the Dao of the Blade Source from the Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object?"

"Impossible, an Emperor-level cultivator cannot absorb all the Dao of the Blade Source from a Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object, not even a Great God-level expert can do it!"

Black Abyss Sword Lord yelled, his face filled with disbelief.

A Dao of the Blade Source Divine Object was rendered useless. Although it wasn't a huge loss for the Sword Emperor Sect, the Sword Emperor Sect Master wouldn't just ignore it and would definitely impose punishment.

He was fully responsible for this matter, so he would certainly be punished then.

"Damn you, Wan Fa Genius, just you wait. Once you enter the God-level, you're dead!"

Black Abyss Sword Lord completely hated Ye Tian.

On the other side.

Ye Tian returned to Qing Cang City on the Hengpan Continent in high spirits.

Now, his strength was much greater than it was five years ago.

He had mastered the Heartless Divine Knife Technique, and it was close to achieving great mastery at the introductory level. Even his Time Talent had advanced to 20% Profound Meaning Grade, and he had even unearthed a Time ability.

Time Reversal! He could reverse events that occurred in a small area for a period of time in the past, but he could not reverse events involving True God-level or stronger cultivators, otherwise the reversed image would shatter.

This ability could only be used once a day, but for Ye Tian, this ability could sometimes serve astonishing purposes.

"With my current strength, it's easy to kill ordinary Nine Star Peerless Genius. Unfortunately, breaking through the twentieth physical limit is difficult, unless I can enter an Advanced Meta Realm!"

Ye Tian knew from Celestial Lord Putian's inherited memories that Yuan Realms are also graded.

For instance, the Yuan Realm that Earth originally birthed was merely a Low-Level Yuan Realm. Not only was the chaos yuan qi there relatively low-grade, but its quantity was also very scarce.

A Low-Level Yuan Realm simply couldn't allow a Peerless Genius to break through the twentieth physical limit; cultivating there for any length of time would be useless.

Many powerful forces in the Pan Region control one or two Yuan Realms, which only open once in a long while.

For example, the four Overlord-level forces and Nine stars forces in the Pan Region control many Yuan Realms across various star systems in the Pan Region. This is why so many Peerless Genius can be born; otherwise, no matter how abundant the resources of the Hengpan Galaxy, it would be impossible to Cultivate so many Peerless Genius in a short amount of time.

Better than Low-Level Yuan Realms are Mid-Level Yuan Realms. Both the quality and quantity of chaos yuan qi in Mid-Level Yuan Realms are much better.

But Mid-Level Yuan Realms are also rare, many times scarcer than Low-Level Yuan Realms.

Using a Mid-Level Yuan Realm also offers hope of breaking through the twentieth physical limit, but the probability is not very high, and that's only if a Peerless Genius who has broken through the nineteenth physical limit Cultivates there. If many Peerless Genius enter to Cultivate together, then there's no hope of breaking through the twentieth physical limit.

Advanced Meta Realms are different; they can accommodate hundreds of Peerless Genius for cultivation, and as long as one's state of mind reaches the fourth level, everyone has a chance to break through the twentieth physical limit.

According to rumors, the ultimate great Opportunity of the Tianjiao Battle is to enter an Advanced Meta Realm for cultivation.

And this Advanced Meta Realm is jointly owned by the four Overlord-level forces of the Pan Region, and it is offered as a reward for the Tianjiao Battle.

Unfortunately, no one knows when the Tianjiao Battle will actually end.

However, based on past records of the Tianjiao Battle, it will take at least twenty to one hundred years for the Tianjiao Battle to conclude.

And now, the Tianjiao Battle has only been going on for a little over ten years! In the following time, Ye Tian did not stay long in Qing Cang City but traveled throughout the Hengpan Continent, challenging Eight stars Peerless Genius and Nine Star Peerless Genius everywhere.

It could be said that Ye Tian swept through everything, and his Luck ranking on the Tianjiao Gold List soared all the way up.

One year later.

On this day, Ye Tian's Luck finally soared to first place.

Throughout the entire Pan Region, he was number one on the Tianjiao Gold List.

In the depths of the void, on the massive Tianjiao Gold List, Ye Tian's name, Wan Fa Genius, shone so brightly and resoundingly.

At this moment, countless Peerless Genius and countless forces throughout the entire Pan Region marveled at Ye Tian's achievements! To read the novel without underlines, please download Stone Novel.
