Afterward, Ye Tian found no more valuable treasures in the microcosm inside the Silver-Horned Ancestral Godâs body. However, there were still many other treasures, providing him with a significant haul.
âUnfortunately, the Silver-Horned Ancestral God only had one accompanying Supreme Treasure and didnât collect other pinnacle treasures,â Ye Tian sighed silently.
This did not mean the Silver-Horned Ancestral God was not wealthy; it was just that he existed during the early universe period. At that time, most of the universeâs pinnacle treasures had not yet been nurtured. If the Silver-Horned Ancestral God wanted to obtain pinnacle treasures, he could only plunder relics from other cosmic eras. However, those relics were mostly left for future generations. The Silver-Horned Ancestral God, being inherently powerful, couldnât enter those opportunity lands and thus couldnât acquire pinnacle treasures.
Moreover, during the early universe period, the cultivation system had just been born and was not yet prosperous. Even the Silver-Horned Ancestral God couldnât obtain many treasures.
The resources couldnât be preserved forever and naturally vanished over time. Thus, obtaining the Supreme Treasure Broken Sword and some other treasures was already a significant gain for Ye Tian.
âItâs time to leave!â Ye Tian decided, no longer lingering in the Silver-Horned Ancestral Godâs microcosm. He continuously bombarded a spatial crack and then followed the spatial fluctuations to break out of the microcosm, arriving in the outside world.
On the Silver-Horned Ancestral Godâs corpse, Ye Tianâs figure emerged. He then began collecting the Ancestral Godâs blood from the heart. Although he didnât need the Ancestral Godâs blood, it might be useful for trading with other Innate Deities in the future. Hence, collecting more Ancestral Godâs blood was definitely beneficial.
Before long, Ye Tian had gathered all the Ancestral Godâs blood, amassing a total of 86 blood crystals.
At this point, Ye Tian noticed the Silver-Horned Ancestral Godâs corpseâs aura gradually diminishing, along with its oppressive force. Clearly, having lost all the Ancestral Godâs blood crystals, the supreme power of the Silver-Horned Ancestral Godâs corpse had been somewhat depleted, reducing its previous oppressiveness.
Even so, the Tomb of the Ancestral Gods was difficult to destroy, as it was the burial site blessed by the universeâs origin. Ye Tian couldnât take the Ancestral Godâs corpse with him because the universe wouldnât allow it. Taking the Ancestral Godâs blood was the maximum extent of what was permitted.
Next, Ye Tian visited the Ancestral Godâs Hall, taking all the resources inside and finding another 14 Ancestral Godâs blood crystals. Thus, he now possessed 100 Ancestral Godâs blood crystals, in addition to a large number of resource treasures.
âThis Tomb of the Ancestral Gods holds no more value for me; itâs time to leave!â Ye Tian flew quickly to the exit, forcibly breaking out and returning to the outside world.
Upon his return, Ye Tian didnât use the Silver-Horned Ancestral Godâs accompanying Supreme Treasure. This treasure was not yet suitable for him, and even if he refined it, he couldnât fully utilize it since it was a sword, while he needed a saber.
Therefore, he had to find someone to transform this accompanying sword into a perfectly intact saber.
âWho should I ask?â Ye Tian pondered. Ordinary master refiners couldnât handle such a high-level weapon, and even if the transformation seemed simple, it wasnât something just anyone could achieve.
For instance, although Ye Tian possessed refining talent, his lack of experience made it impossible for him to transform this accompanying Supreme Treasure Broken Sword.
Additionally, transforming an accompanying Supreme Treasure required immense cultivation strength. Without strong cultivation as support, the transformation would be unsuccessful, and any forceful attempt would only result in an inferior defective product.
Ye Tian recalled information about the higher-ups of the Human Race and finally identified a target.
âHeavenly VenerableâHeavenly Venerable Blazing Fire!â
Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire was one of the Heavenly Venerables of the Human Race and an expert in refinement, being one of the three Divine Masters of Refinement within the Human Race. His status surpassed that of typical Heavenly Venerable powerhouses.
Moreover, Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire was not affiliated with any of the nine Supreme-level forces; he was a lone cultivator with his own dojoâBlazing Fire Heavenly Palace.
Blazing Fire Heavenly Palace was located in the Holy City, and Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire always stayed there forging weapons. The nine Supreme-level forces frequently interacted with Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire, often commissioning him to forge weapons.
Given Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fireâs status and strength, ordinary people naturally couldnât meet him, let alone ask him to forge weapons. Even many powerful Universal Gods didnât qualify to see Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire; only some Dominators and Heavenly Venerables of similar levels had the chance to meet him.
âMy potential is limitless, and many Supremes have high hopes for me. But rumors say Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire has a fiery temper and doesnât like to curry favor. He doesnât care about status and could even snub Supremes if heâs in a bad mood. ê¦
If I directly approach him, he probably wonât see me!â Ye Tian pondered.
If he asked Kunwu Supreme for help, it might work. But he couldnât rely on Kunwu Supreme for everything, especially since this was a personal matter and not a major issue. Asking Kunwu Supreme for help would be somewhat inappropriate. Ye Tian then began collecting information about Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire.
Half a month later.
Ye Tian, after going through the data on Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire, finally came up with a plan.
According to his investigation, Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire had a junior known as Fairy Mingyue. Not only was she very powerful, but her talent in refining was also exceptional, almost inheriting Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fireâs skills. Despite only being at the ninth stage peak of the Galaxy level, she could already forge Origin Divine Artifacts.
Of course, Fairy Mingyueâs success rate in forging Origin Artifacts was very low, only about ten percent, but her success rate for forging top-tier Divine Artifacts was nearly one hundred percent.
If Fairy Mingyue continued to train, she could potentially forge Supreme Treasures in the future. Only those who could forge Supreme-level weapons could be called Divine Masters of Refinement. Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire could easily forge ordinary Supreme Treasures and even top-tier Supreme Treasures.
Top-tier Supreme Treasures were the strongest weapons the Human Race could currently forge, as the Strongest Supreme Treasures could only be nurtured by heaven and earth, and human weapon mastery couldnât achieve that.
Although Fairy Mingyueâs refining skills were incredibly strong, with the potential to reach Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fireâs level, her cultivation talent was unfortunately lacking, being only at the Cosmic level.
The Human Race did have methods to elevate Cosmic level cultivation talents to Universal level, but nothing was ever guaranteed. Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire once used a treasure to enhance Fairy Mingyueâs cultivation talent, which should have had a high success rate, but ultimately, it failed.
The effectiveness of such treasures was best on the first use; subsequent uses were much less effective. Thus, Fairy Mingyueâs luck was at its worst, unable to elevate to Universal level, and thus unable to reach the Universal God realm.
Fairy Mingyue was already quite old, though she still appeared young. Without reaching the Universal God level, no amount of life-extending treasures could grant her eternal life.
Therefore, Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire was deeply troubled, always searching for treasures that could significantly extend lifespan and enhance cultivation talent.
âHahaha, I just happen to have half a piece of the Heavenly Dao Heart, capable of creating five Chaos-level cultivation talents, with an almost one hundred percent success rate.
The Heavenly Dao Heart is such a rare Supreme Treasure that even the Human Race cannot obtain it. I luckily acquired it from the Void Realm, which gives me absolute leverage to negotiate a trade with Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire!â Ye Tian declared confidently.
