Ye Xiao smiled.
“Venerable one, why aren’t you sleeping at night?”
Jiang Chen shook his head. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Do you think I can sleep now? How many days have you been gone? I’ve been on tenterhooks for so many days. I was afraid you might have gone to the space battlefield alone.
“That place is extremely dangerous. You’re not strong enough yet. What if you run into any danger? What would I do?”
Ye Xiao felt warm. Although Jiang Chen was not as strong as him, as a senior, his concern for him was very touching.
“Sorry to trouble you, Senior Black Tortoise, but don’t worry! I’m still young. I don’t want to die. If I run into any trouble, I’ll avoid it.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
“Anyway, it’s the best thing for you to come back safely. You can count yourself lucky.”
Pausing for a while, he said again,
“I have something very important to tell you. It’s a great thing for you.”
Ye Xiao was a bit confused.
“What’s the great thing?”
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously.
“Guess?”
Ye Xiao was surprised. Then he scanned Jiang Chen’s memory with his mental energy. He was already a powerful emperor. He would not even notice Jiang Chen’s memory if he scanned it.
When he found out what had happened, he could not help but be surprised.
The number one on the Dragon list, the Sword Emperor, Azure Dragon had challenged him to a fight!
Was he trying to use his comprehension sword art to help him improve?
Ye Xiao was shocked, but he could not help but admire him.
After all, he was an old senior of the Nine Provinces. He would rather use Jiang Chen as a stepping stone than help the Nine Provinces to cultivate a powerful Emperor realm martial arts expert.
If it was him, he definitely would not be able to achieve such a state of mind.
One had to know that if one lost in a martial arts duel, it would have a great impact on one’s state of mind.
Once one lost, it was possible that one’s entire martial arts would stagnate from then on.
Just like a person, if he did not get sick on a normal day, he would never feel that health was so important!
However, once he fell ill, he would have a never-before-seen desire for health.
At that point, he had successfully advanced to the Emperor realm, he did not need him to give in.
Although he did not need the other party’s help, the other party also had the intention. At that time, he could also give him a good fortune to help him.
Was it not because of such mutual support that the human race in the Nine Provinces was able to get to where they were today?
“It shouldn’t be one of the four venerable ones who want to help me practice and advance to the Emperor realm, right?”
Ye Xiao replied with a faint smile.
Jiang Chen was startled.
“You really guessed correctly, kid. You’re really good. I heard that you have some skills.”
Pausing for a moment, he put away his smile and said with a serious expression,
“It’s the Sword Emperor Azure Dragon. He has decided to have a battle with you. The time is in half a month. He wants to use his martial art comprehension to help you break through the last layer so that you can smoothly step into the Emperor realm.”
Ye Xiao shook his head.
“The time is too long, I’m afraid it won’t work. I went out this time and obtained a very important piece of news. It’s extremely important to the Nine Provinces, and even to the entire world’s human race.”
“What news?”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and said seriously,
“The beast calamity will start in a month at most.”
Boom!
When he said that, it was like a heavy bomb had been detonated in Jiang Chen’s mind.
The beast calamity would start in a month.
According to their plan, it would take more than three years before the beast calamity would start.
However, it had happened so fast. Humans all over the world might not have had time to prepare for it.
Gulp.
Jiang Chen swallowed hard. He said in disbelief,
“Ye Xiao, where did you get this information?”
“It’s complicated. It’s hard to explain. However, I can make sure the information is true.
“Besides, there are 12 supreme divine beasts this time. They are as powerful as human Emperor realm martial arts experts. There are countless divine beasts that are as powerful as the human King realm martial artists.
“I hope you can make the necessary preparations.”
Boom!
Another huge bomb exploded in Jiang Chen’s mind. That time, it was even more powerful than the last time. Jiang Chen’s head could not bear it, he could not help but take two steps back.
“Ye Xiao, is this information true?”
Ye Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Do you think I have to lie to you with some fake information? What’s in it for me?”
Jiang Chen waved his hand.
“That’s not what I meant. I’m not doubting you. I just can’t accept this information.”
There were 12 supreme divine beasts!
There were also countless divine beasts.
How much pressure would that add up to?
Currently, there were only six Emperor realm martial arts experts in the entire human race.
There were only a few dozen King realm martial artists, and that was in addition to all the high-level combat strength in the space battlefield and the human world.
Even so, they were still far from being comparable to star beasts.
“Ye Xiao, I have to report this to the whole world as soon as possible and inform all the humans in the world at the same time. We can’t go on like this!
“If we don’t find a way, we might bring all the humans in the world into a desperate situation this time.”
Ye Xiao nodded.
“Senior, you can go now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen turned around and left.
He did not dare delay at all.
That matter was very important. It was related to the survival and future of all the humans in the world. He could not afford to be careless.
Ye Xiao went back to his farm and kept all the star beasts he had just gotten in the Silver Fox Valley.
He had scanned their star cores and extracted the techniques in them.
There were not many techniques, and some of them overlapped with his previous ones.
There were two available cultivation techniques that he had obtained so far.
One was the palm technique, Acalanātha!
Ye Xiao already had two imperial palm techniques.
One was the Tathagata Divine Palm, and the other was the Starquake Palm!
With those and the one he had now, it was just enough to form a god-slaying palm technique.
Ye Xiao already had several god techniques.
Sword technique, Splitting Open the Sky.
Fist technique, Space-splitting Fist.
Mental cultivation technique, Nine Twirling Green Lotuses technique.
Divine healing technique, Secret of Eternal Life Art.
Movement technique, Yin-yang Escape Technique.
Next, after the Golden Book cultivated the Acalanātha to perfection, and then combined it with the other palm techniques, he would be able to obtain a brand new god technique.
With each additional god technique, he would have an additional life-saving method for himself.
The other cultivation technique that Ye Xiao obtained that did not repeat itself was an imperial technique that was extracted from the star core of the Flower God, Zhu Xinyu.
It was called the heart-refining technique, Stone Heart.
The Flower God, Zhu Xinyu, was a spiritual flower. She cultivated for thousands of years before she could become a star beast.
What Ye Xiao did not expect was that he actually possessed such a strange cultivation technique.
The heart-refining technique was not a cultivation technique, but a cultivation method to cultivate one’s state of mind.
It was also a cultivation method that Ye Xiao had never seen before.
That made Ye Xiao suddenly think of a problem. Could it be that it could be combined with the soul-refining method and the body-refining method?
Merge into a god technique?
One had to know that those two types of cultivation methods could be merged together.
However, between the two of them, there was still one type of cultivation method.
Ye Xiao had never found it.
Could that strange heart-refining method be the cultivation method that the two of them were missing?
That was because the heart-refining method was mainly to train one’s mental state.
The Flower God, Zhu Xinyu, allowed the wind and rain to bully her for a thousand years before she opened her spiritual consciousness and waited another thousand years before she cultivated her spirit body. After another thousand years, she would have a small success.
In the end, she cultivated for 6,000 years before she could be considered to be in the Divine Beast realm.
Cultivating a plant to the level of a star beast was already thousands of times more difficult than those star beasts.
However, she still succeeded in the end.
Other than herself, no one else could feel the hardships of that.
Along the way, she had experienced too many things that were not easy. It was indeed necessary to have such a method to cultivate one’s heart.
Otherwise, that long path of cultivation might have already driven her crazy.
Ye Xiao recorded it into the Golden Book divine soul.
As expected, that cultivation method was recorded in between the body-refining method and the soul-refining method.
That meant that those three cultivation methods could indeed be combined into one, forming a god technique.
To Ye Xiao, that was very good news. At least it solved one of his doubts.
Moreover, after they were synthesized, it would definitely make his body stronger.
After doing all that, Ye Xiao also arrived at his own farm.
Having just arrived, Ye Xiao could not help but be a little stunned.
What kind of situation was that?
It was completely like an idle mahjong hall.
Those star beasts were actually gathering together to play mahjong!
Where did they get the mahjong table and mahjong?
That Norfis, how did he break several of his tentacles?
The Starquake Tiger at the side was still gnawing on Norfis’ tentacles. That fellow… Could it be that he had lost all his tentacles?
“Ah! Master is here!”
When the star beasts saw that Ye Xiao had arrived, they immediately stood up quickly and lined up to welcome him.
Before Ye Xiao could say anything, the star beasts laughed mischievously.
“Master, we’re too bored here, so we got Huan Liuli to prepare a mahjong table for us. You won’t mind, right? We have to pay the tribute on time and in quantity every day.”
“Right, right, right. This mahjong and mahjong table were exchanged between us and Huan Liuli. We used our eggs, milk, and fish meat.”
The corner of Ye Xiao’s mouth could not help but twitch.
That silly cat actually had a brain? She took the opportunity to sit up and do small business with these star beasts.
Forget it, let them be. After all, if the star beasts were lifeless every day, the meat would not taste good after a long period of time.
After exhaling, he took out a batch of star beasts from his spatial ring.
“From today onward, I have brought you a batch of companions.”
