Chapter 70: Great Five Elements Wheel

East Sea Fortress.

Ye Tian returned and saw Qin Susu; at this time, Qin Susu was no longer an Ability Master, but an Ability Grandmaster.

"No wonder I haven't seen Senior Sister Qin lately; so she went to break through to become an Ability Grandmaster."

He walked over and greeted Qin Susu: "Senior Sister Qin, congratulations on your breakthrough to the Grandmaster level!"

Qin Susu smiled and said: "Congratulations to you too for breaking through to become a Grandmaster. You haven't even started your sophomore year yet, and your cultivation has already reached the Grandmaster level. Compared to you, I feel quite discouraged!"

While chatting with Qin Susu, he learned that besides Qin Susu, Xiao Ya and Zhang Xiaoou had also broken through to the Ability Grandmaster realm.

This was all thanks to the Wanxiang Strange Realm; if not for the Wanxiang Strange Realm improving their Artistic Conception, the chances of them breaking through to the Ability Grandmaster realm would have been very low.

It wasn't just Qin Susu and the others who broke through; many Ability Grandmasters had been emerging in Jiang Province one after another during this period, and the core strength had increased significantly.

This was all Ye Tian's credit; if not for him, these people would have died at the hands of the Scale Clan.

……

Cultivation improvement at the Ability Grandmaster realm is very difficult, and Ye Tian could not expect to rise from a Primary Different Technique Grandmaster to an Intermediate Different Technique Grandmaster in a short time.

Therefore, he prepared to spend a large amount of time creating mutant Strange Arts.

For example, the Five Elements Wheel mutant Strange Art.

This mutant Strange Art is an A-Grade Mutation Art, much more powerful than ordinary S-rank Strange Arts, but it is far inferior when compared to an Innate Divine Ability, and it doesn't even compare to an S-Rank Space Ability.

If he does not perfect the Five Elements Wheel, this mutant Strange Art might be phased out by him in the future.

Therefore, he prepared to perfect the mutant Strange Art Five Elements Wheel to the level of an S-grade Mutant Strange Art.

In this way, his defense would be even more terrifying, and if it were transformed into a Domain, its power would be even greater.

"To turn the Five Elements Wheel into an S-grade Mutant Strange Art, I need to master various S-rank Five Elements-type Strange Arts and strive to create the S-grade Mutant Strange Art Great Five Elements Wheel before heading to the Sword Realm."

Ye Tian thought to himself.

In the days that followed, he worked hard to practice various S-rank Strange Arts, making his understanding of the Five Elements deeper and deeper.

At the same time, he also attempted to create it time and time again; the Enlightenment Technique was almost constantly being cast, and one source of Innate Ability after another was consumed, but they were also recovering rapidly.

For this, he even used up some S-rank Treasures, just to recover his Ability Potential.

Ten days!

Half a month!

One month.

Finally, with only six days left until the opening of the Sword Realm, Ye Tian successfully created the Five Elements mutant Strange Art Great Five Elements Wheel, its power far surpassing the A-Grade Mutation Art Five Elements Wheel.

"Let's change the name; calling it all Five Elements Wheel isn't great, so let's call it the S-grade Mutant Strange Art Great Five Elements Wheel!"

Ye Tian named it.

And after creating the Great Five Elements Wheel, he discovered that his Five Elements Artistic Conception had improved.

The Eighth Sequence Metal Intent had improved to the 1.5 level, and the other four types of Artistic Conception had also improved to the 10% level.

With the Five Elements Artistic Conception improved, plus the S-grade Great Five Elements Wheel, and the fact that he had now broken through to the Primary Different Technique Grandmaster realm, even if a Scale Clan Grandmaster attacked him, they would have no way to break through his defense.

"As an S-Grade Enlightenment Mutation Art, its power should be comparable to an ordinary defensive Innate Divine Ability!"

Ye Tian speculated.

……

Wu City.

Ye Tian came here alone; he prepared to pass through Wucheng Fortress to head to the Sword Realm in the Sword Clan's territory.

The Sword Realm was about to open, and since he possessed a Sword Realm Token, he naturally had to seize this opportunity.

Wu City was not as powerful as Donghai City; on the surface, it didn't even have a Grandmaster, but no city in Xia Country could be underestimated.

Take Wu City, for example; no one dared to underestimate this city.

Especially Wucheng Fortress; because it bordered the Sword Clan and had no external threats, it developed to be very prosperous. Many powerhouses wanted to settle in the Sword Clan's territory, even causing the housing prices in Wucheng Fortress to soar continuously.

According to what Ye Tian knew, Wucheng Fortress had one Extreme Dao Grandmaster stationed there, along with six Grandmasters and a large number of Grandmasters, and outside Grandmasters often came to Wucheng Fortress to communicate or even trade with the Sword Clan.

Therefore, the Talented Ability Users living in Wu City were very comfortable.

Of course, once war broke out at other fortresses, the powerhouses of Wu City would also have to go to support them.

Ye Tian was from Donghai City; he had to undergo very strict inspections to enter Wucheng Fortress, and he would only be allowed in after his identity was confirmed to be correct.

After a round of inspections, Ye Tian entered Wucheng Fortress.

At this time, there were two days left until the opening of the Sword Realm, and Ye Tian was not in a hurry to go to the Sword Clan.

He stayed in Wucheng Fortress and waited until the last day to go to the Sword Clan.

Wucheng War Merit Hall.

Ye Tian entered to take a look around; Battle Merit was universal across the major fortresses of Xia Country, and he could also exchange for items in Wucheng Fortress, though he would need to pay an out-of-region tax.

This tax was 10%, so most Talented Ability Users would not exchange for items at other fortresses; it was too cost-ineffective.

However, the resources and treasures of each fortress were different; perhaps Wucheng Fortress had the good things he needed!

He searched for a long time but did not find any treasures that surprised him.

But half an hour later, he actually found something good.

【A-Grade Spirit Material—Spirit Crystal, value 3000 Battle Merit】

Spirit Element materials were very rare, especially A-Grade Spirit Material, which was even rarer.

He had hardly seen many Spirit Element materials in East Sea Fortress, and they were almost all very low-level Spirit Element materials, with the highest being B-Grade Spirit Material.

Therefore, his Spirit Element Innate Ability had always been B-Grade; after all, he couldn't buy A-Grade Spirit Material!

He didn't expect to encounter an A-Grade Spirit Material here in Wu City.

Without a second thought, he bought it directly; even if he had to pay an extra 10% fee, it was only an extra 300 Battle Merit, and he didn't care about that amount of Battle Merit at all.

"I want the Spirit Crystal!"

Ye Tian said.

Very quickly, the Spirit Crystal was successfully exchanged and in his hands.

He touched the Spirit Crystal.

【Mental Power +1】

【Mental Power +1】

"It really is a good thing. With such a Spirit Crystal, my Spirit Talent Ability potential can be upgraded to A-Grade!"

Ye Tian also thought about how he would be able to cultivate A-Grade Spirit Strange Arts; currently, those B-Grade Spirit Strange Arts were a bit low-tier for him, and compared to his other methods, they were too ordinary, so naturally, he had to upgrade!

Subsequently, he exchanged his Battle Merit at the War Merit Hall for an A-Grade Spirit Strange Art—the Zhenkong Bell!

This Spirit Strange Art was the best A-Grade Spirit Strange Art, possessing both attack and defense functions; compared to it, his previous Spirit Strange Arts were simply trash.

Of course, the price of the Zhenkong Bell was also very expensive, costing him a full 2000 Battle Merit, and this was just for a single A-Grade Spirit Strange Art!

"Two days, time is not quite enough, but raising my Spirit Talent Ability potential and cultivating it to the Small Success Realm should just barely be enough."

Ye Tian thought to himself.

The next day.

With the help of the Spirit Crystal, Ye Tian's Spirit Talent Ability potential was raised to A-Grade, and then he began to cultivate the Zhenkong Bell.

He spent the whole morning successfully cultivating the Zhenkong Bell to the Entry Level.

"I must go to the Sword Clan; tomorrow is the day the Sword Realm opens, it would be bad if I missed it!"

He set off from Wucheng Fortress and headed toward a city of the Sword Clan—Jianyun City.

Not long after.

He arrived at Jianyun City.

At this moment, he saw a terrifying giant sword, a thousand meters tall, thrust into the center of Jianyun City, its blade appearing to shoot straight into the clouds.

The key was that this was a real sword.

"This sword should be the Sword Clan's Superior Strange Treasure—the Tianyun Sword!"

Ye Tian guessed.
