Chapter 211: Return, King Xia's Shock

"As expected of the Top Dao Art, Ten Directions Sword World!"

Ye Tian marveled inwardly.

Although he had previously mastered the Top Dao Art, Boundary Scale Dao Technique, which possessed terrifying defensive power, and had even cultivated three Dao Diagrams, that Boundary Scale Dao Technique was, after all, a defensive Top Dao Art and did not provide a high boost to attack power.

Yet, the Ten Directions Sword World was an offensive Top Dao Art, and its grade was even above that of the Boundary Scale Dao Technique; even another Top Dao Art from the Global True God Council could not compare to it.

After slaying the Longevity Tree, Ye Tian pulled it up by the roots.

"The remaining Longevity Tree is massive in volume; there is no way to devour it all at once. I must eat it slowly!"

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

Subsequently, he severed a section of the Longevity Tree, swallowed it in one gulp, and utilized Heavenly Peng Devour to absorb and refine it.

However, the hope of relying on this Longevity Tree to elevate his Longevity Body to an Intermediate Longevity Body was not very high, unless it were a Longevity Tree that had not been depleted before; only then would there be hope.

Ye Tian was quite satisfied, though; being able to elevate his life level to a Longevity Body was a life level that countless people dreamed of!

"Time to head out!"

Ye Tian identified the direction from here, then flew rapidly, heading outside the Mingdu Mountain Ruins.

Along the way, a Ming General blocked Ye Tian, but was instantly slain by him.

……

Outside the entrance of Mingdu Mountain.

Ye Tian emerged, then immediately used his Battle Ring to contact Earth.

Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

King Xia was currently discussing matters regarding Ye Tian with Saint Yan, Yu Sheng, and the others.

"Lord King Xia, is there still no news of Ye Tian?"

Yu Sheng asked with a frown.

He had just broken through to the Saint Realm when he learned that Ye Tian had gone to the Mingdu Mountain Ruins, but a year had passed, and he still had not received any news of Ye Tian.

The Mingdu Mountain Ruins was such a dangerous place; to not have come out in a year's time was extremely dangerous.

King Xia shook his head, "There is no news at all. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to stay for such a long time without coming out. There is a high probability of two possibilities: one is that Ye Tian is trapped in a certain place, and the other is..."

King Xia did not continue, but the others knew what King Xia meant.

At this moment, King Xia was also in a bad mood; it was he who had mentioned the Mingdu Mountain Ruins, and if he hadn't, Ye Tian would not have gone.

If Ye Tian had truly fallen, Earth would have lost an incredibly monstrous genius!

In his view, as long as Ye Tian did not die, he would surely become a True God in the future, and not even an ordinary True God at that!

Suddenly.

A message arrived.

King Xia opened his Battle Ring; it was a message sent by his subordinates.

"Ye Tian, there is news!"

King Xia announced with pleasant surprise.

"That's great!"

The others were all excited.

Not long after, Ye Tian returned to the Kyoto Fortress, then returned to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion from the Kyoto Fortress.

Immediately, Yu Sheng and other Saint Realm experts, as well as some Heavenly King Realm experts, appeared, coming one after another to welcome Ye Tian.

King Xia's God Spirit avatar also appeared, which showed how much he valued Ye Tian.

The moment he saw Ye Tian, King Xia revealed a look of shock.

Previously, he could still see through Ye Tian, but now there was a layer of mist on Ye Tian, and even he could not see through Ye Tian.

Moreover, Ye Tian's aura was much stronger than before; his strength must have made leaps and bounds.

"Ye Tian, are you alright?"

Yu Sheng asked.

"I am fine!" Ye Tian smiled.

Subsequently, Ye Tian chatted with them for a few sentences before being called away by King Xia.

……

"Ye Tian, why did you stay in the Mingdu Mountain Ruins for as long as a year?"

King Xia asked.

Ye Tian did not hide anything either, and told him about encountering the Longevity Tree and then being sent into the Illusion Realm Forbidden Zone by the Longevity Tree.

When King Xia learned that Ye Tian had been sent into the Illusion Realm Forbidden Zone, his expression changed, but upon thinking that Ye Tian was alive and out now, he must have escaped, so he calmed down and listened to Ye Tian finish.

Soon, Ye Tian finished recounting the general sequence of events.

"So the Illusion Realm Forbidden Zone was a fragment of history. It is fortunate that you mastered the Reincarnation Dao Body and possess the Supreme Great Divine Ability, Samsara Reincarnation; otherwise, you would have surely died!" King Xia said with lingering fear.

Immediately, King Xia said: "In that case, you broke through to the fourth level of the Dao Heart Realm in your state of mind, and that is how you saw through the Illusion Realm Forbidden Zone?"

"Ye Tian, in terms of your state of mind, you have already surpassed everyone on our Earth!"

King Xia said with a smile.

"Are there no people on Earth with a fourth-level state of mind?"

Ye Tian asked.

"No!" King Xia shook his head, "Even for me, my state of mind has only reached the peak of the Saint Heart, the third level, and I still have not comprehended the Dao Heart. Unless I can break through to the True God Realm, and upon breaking through to True God, the state of mind will undergo a sublimation, perhaps then I can break through to the Dao Heart Realm. Even in the Earth Cave World, those who can break through to the Dao Heart Realm at the True God Realm are few and far between; only a small number of Demigods from a small number of races can achieve it.

Without a fourth-level state of mind and Samsara Reincarnation, entering the Illusion Realm Forbidden Zone is certain death. No wonder a Demigod once cut his own cultivation base to enter the Illusion Realm Forbidden Zone and did not return alive. The Forbidden Zone is worthy of being a Forbidden Zone; it is too terrifying!"

Ye Tian did not mention the matter of the Great Freedom Dao Body; there was no need for him to tell everything.

However.

Ye Tian, however, took out the golden paper inscribed with the Ten Directions Sword World, because he still wanted to use the Ten Directions Sword World inheritance to trade with the Global True God Council for another Top Dao Art!

"Lord Xia, this is a Top Dao Art; it seems to have been torn from a book, so I am somewhat curious about its origin," Ye Tian asked for guidance.

"It is actually this!"

Xia was shocked.

"Lord Xia, what is it?"

Ye Tian asked hurriedly.

"The Ancient Dao Book!" Xia introduced: "It is rumored that in the Primordial Era of the Earth Cave World, the World Wonder known as the Ancient Dao Book was born, which recorded one hundred and eight Top Dao Arts; they are all the most supreme Dao Arts of the current world, nurtured by heaven and earth, and each Dao Art contains a Dao. The complete Ancient Dao Book has the effect of allowing people to quickly comprehend Dao Arts, but after a great war, the Ancient Dao Book was seized by various alien races and turned into page after page; what you have in your hand should be one page of the Ancient Dao Book."

"So that's how it is!" Ye Tian understood.

"Ye Tian, what Dao Art is on it?" Xia asked.

"It is the Top Dao Art, Ten Directions Sword World!" Ye Tian said.

"So it is this Top Dao Art!" Although Xia had never obtained a Top Dao Art from the Ancient Dao Book, he still knew the names of the Top Dao Arts from the Ancient Dao Book.

"The Ten Directions Sword World is quite good; it is said to be ranked thirty-sixth among those one hundred and eight Dao Arts, and since the Primordial Era, many Dao Art inheritances have actually been destroyed in great wars, and the Dao Arts from the Ancient Dao Book that have truly been passed down are already very rare," Xia sighed with emotion.

Immediately after.

Ye Tian added: "Lord Xia, I would like to use this Ten Directions Sword World to exchange for another Top Dao Art from the Global True God Council, plus some additional benefits, is that possible?"

"You want to use the Ten Directions Sword World inheritance to exchange for that Top Dao Art? Are you sure you are willing?"

Xia was surprised.

"I am sure!"

Ye Tian nodded.

In any case, he had already mastered the Ten Directions Sword World, so why keep it? It would be better to exchange it for more benefits!

"Good, I will go and strive for more benefits for you!"

Xia said.

Immediately, he went to discuss with other Demigods of the Global True God Council, and if the discussion went well, he would give Ye Tian an answer.
