Chapter 83: Divine Art Inheritance and the Flood Dragon Pearl

"I got in so easily!"

Ye Tian was very surprised.

He guessed it was because he had cultivated the Flood Dragon True Body, and this great formation did not guard against the Flood Dragon True Body.

Therefore, he was able to enter.

This Jiaolin Clan Imperial Palace was also very dilapidated; it seemed to have been torn apart by an attack, which not only damaged the great formation on the outside but also left the interior in ruins.

However, he remained very cautious to prevent encountering danger.

He did not withdraw the Great Five Elements Wheel, nor did he withdraw the Flood Dragon True Body or the Dark Longevity Body; he kept them all maintained.

The outer hall.

He looked around; there was nothing there, only some murals.

The murals recorded the history of the Jiaolin Clan.

The first painting depicted a golden flood dragon and a member of the Scale Fish Clan, the second painting showed them giving birth to several members of the Jiaolin Clan, the third was a painting of the coronation of a generation of Jiaolin Clan kings, and the fourth painting showed the Jiaolin Clan after it had grown strong.

There were only four paintings in total, yet they introduced the origin of the Jiaolin Clan.

"So the Jiaolin Clan are descendants of flood dragons; no wonder they have the character 'flood dragon' in their name!"

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

However, according to his understanding, there were many alien races in the Earth Cave World that possessed flood dragon bloodlines, and some top-tier alien races even possessed dragon bloodlines.

Therefore, the Jiaolin Clan's bloodline did not count for much.

"Apart from these few murals, there is nothing else; let's go to the inner hall!"

Passing through the outer hall, he arrived at the inner hall.

Along the way, he did not see any treasures; it seemed as if this place had already been ransacked.

"Could it be that there is nothing here at all?"

Just as Ye Tian was feeling disappointed, he saw a Jiaolin Clan corpse sitting on a broken throne in the inner hall.

This Jiaolin Clan corpse was also quite damaged; most of the scales on its body were gone, it had lost an arm, and its heart had been pierced through.

However, it still looked lifelike, as if it had only just died.

"Flood Dragon True Body!"

Ye Tian said in surprise.

Having cultivated the Flood Dragon True Body himself, he could naturally sense the Flood Dragon True Body, and this Jiaolin Clan corpse had evidently also cultivated the Flood Dragon True Body, and its realm was even higher than his own, likely having reached the Great Success Realm.

Moreover, even though the other party had been dead for five hundred years, their aura remained thick, and in some mysterious way, it still brought a trace of pressure upon him.

"This must be a powerhouse of the Jiaolin Clan who surpassed the Extreme Dao Grandmaster!"

Ye Tian guessed.

He walked over, his gaze fixed on the armor with a large hole in it on the other party's body. This armor was actually a mid-grade earth-element Superior Strange Treasure; even though it was damaged and had passed through hundreds of years of time, leaving it dim and lusterless, it still held significant value, slightly higher than an ordinary mid-grade Strange Treasure.

Just as he was about to take this damaged Superior Strange Treasure, a white light flew out from the Jiaolin Clan corpse.

Swish!

Ye Tian immediately used the Teleportation Technique to retreat, preventing himself from being attacked.

"Space Bloodline Strange Art; which race do you come from? Not only do you possess a Space Bloodline Strange Art, but you also possess a Five Elements Extraordinary Art, and you have even cultivated the Flood Dragon True Body—very impressive!" this illusory Jiaolin Clan member said.

"What are you?"

Ye Tian asked.

"Me?" The illusory Jiaolin Clan member gave a bitter smile: "I am just a fragmented soul, about to dissipate. As for my name, you can call me Jin Tianxun!"

"Fragmented soul?"

Ye Tian became even more vigilant; was this guy trying to perform a soul possession?

He had read plenty of novels!

However, Jin Tianxun smiled and said: "Do not worry that I will possess you; my cultivation has not reached the level required for soul possession. Only some special alien races can possess you at my level of cultivation!"

Although Jin Tianxun said this, Ye Tian did not relax in the slightest.

If the other party had any intention of possession, he would immediately use Space Walking to escape.

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Tian asked.

Jin Tianxun's eyes revealed a look of hatred, "I want you to take revenge for me, to help me kill a powerhouse of the Giant Elephant Clan!"

"Giant Elephant Clan?"

Ye Tian had never heard of this alien race; after all, the Earth Cave World was too vast and there were too many alien races. He had only been cultivating for a short time and was just a student; how could he know about many alien races!

"Why should I help you kill a Giant Elephant Clan powerhouse? There is no benefit for me!"

Ye Tian refused.

Jin Tianxun said: "You have cultivated my Flood Dragon True Body; with your talent, you must want to cultivate it to the Consummation Realm. You obtained my Reverse Scale, so you should have received the inheritance information. Before cultivating to the Consummation Realm, you only need your Artistic Conception to meet the requirements, but to cultivate to the Consummation Realm, you must prepare a Flood Dragon Pearl. If you do not have a Flood Dragon Pearl, your Flood Dragon True Body cannot reach Consummation. I happen to have a Flood Dragon Pearl, and if you agree to help me take revenge, I will not only give you the Flood Dragon Pearl, but I will also give you a Divine Art Inheritance."

"Divine Art Inheritance?" Ye Tian asked in confusion: "What is a Divine Technique?"

"Which alien race do you come from, not even knowing what a Divine Technique is?" Jin Tianxun asked in surprise.

"I come from the Human Race!"

Ye Tian assumed that Jin Tianxun did not know the Human Race, because when Jin Tianxun was still alive, Earth and the Earth Cave World had not yet collided; even if he heard the term 'Human Race', he would not have any reaction.

Sure enough, Jin Tianxun did not know the Human Race and just shook his head, "I suppose you are a small alien race born not long ago, which is why you don't understand Divine Techniques. My time is limited, so let me explain it to you briefly. A Divine Technique is a technique for those with God-level Bloodline Talent to cultivate. You likely do not have a God-level Bloodline Talent, but that does not matter. If you were to take a Divine Art Inheritance out to trade, it would be enough to exchange for countless riches and allow you to grow faster."

"So that's how it is!"

Ye Tian understood.

The so-called Divine Technique was just a God-level Strange Art.

It was just that humans could not cultivate the Strange Arts of alien races, but they could modify them.

The Strange Arts currently cultivated by humans are all modified imitations of those from alien races; with his comprehension, perhaps he could modify a Divine Technique into one that humans can cultivate.

"What is the attribute of the Divine Technique?"

Ye Tian asked again.

"Metal attribute!" Jin Tianxun said.

Ye Tian was overjoyed; a metal-attribute Divine Technique was something he could cultivate!

The Flood Dragon Pearl, the Divine Art Inheritance.

Both of these items were of immeasurable value, so agreeing to Jin Tianxun's request would be no harm.

In any case, Jin Tianxun's enemy was an alien from the Earth Cave World, so there would be no burden in killing them.

Thus, Ye Tian nodded, "Fine, I agree, but I will only go to kill them once my strength exceeds theirs. Also, if they happen to die, I will consider the task automatically completed, right?"

Jin Tianxun said, "My enemy should not be dead yet, but their cultivation base is certainly much stronger than it was five hundred years ago. The Giant Elephant Clan has quite a reputation in the Earth Realm; as long as you inquire about the name Xiang Ming of the Giant Elephant Clan, you might learn of their situation."

"Good!"

Ye Tian nodded.

"Make an oath!"

Jin Tianxun requested.

If Ye Tian did not make an oath, he would not speak.

Helpless, Ye Tian had no choice but to make the oath; in any case, there was no time limit required, and he could just wait until he was incomparably strong before going, so such an oath had no real constraints.

Very quickly, the oath was made.

And Jin Tianxun also kept his promise, revealing the location of the Flood Dragon Pearl and the Divine Art Inheritance.
