193: Chapter 193, one of the Nine Secrets, the Secret of Military Affairs! Great advancement in cultivation!

“Today's Sign-in was successful! Congratulations, Host, you have received the Sign-in reward: one of the Nine Secrets—the Weapon Secret!”

One of the Nine Secrets?

Hearing the System's notification in his mind, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Chen's face.

Counting it up, this was the third technique of the Nine Secrets he had obtained through signing in.

The first he obtained was the Zhe Secret, which could instantly heal all injuries, allowing him to remain inherently invincible.

As long as he wasn't erased to the point where not a single trace remained, he could recover using the Zhe Secret.

The second he obtained was the Secret of Fighting, which could simulate and evolve all of an enemy's Divine Abilities and techniques.

It could also grant supreme Battle Intent, immunity to Divine Soul attacks, and the ability to triple his overall combat power.

He just didn't know what this newly signed-in Weapon Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, would be like.

Would it be the same Weapon Secret he knew of, just like the previous two Nine Secrets?

Regardless of whether it was the Weapon Secret he knew, since it was ranked among the Nine Secrets, it was bound to be extraordinary!

The System didn't give Ye Chen time to think; as soon as its voice fell, a mysterious torrent of information flooded into his mind.

Sensing this torrent of information, Ye Chen quickly closed his eyes and began to digest it.

Having just accepted some of the information, a smile appeared on his face.

This Weapon Secret's power was not much different from the one he knew.

One of the Nine Secrets, the Weapon Secret, could manipulate all weapons in the world, turning the mundane into the miraculous.

Even an ordinary weapon, once the Weapon Secret was applied, could be endowed with powerful might.

If it were already a divine weapon, its power would skyrocket after being enhanced by the Weapon Secret.

This wasn't even the Weapon Secret's primary ability; its most significant power was seizing the divine weapons and armaments of others.

As long as the opponent's cultivation was not more than three major Realms stronger than his own, anyone locked onto by the Weapon Secret would be affected.

He could forcibly seize the divine weapons in an enemy's hands, even if they had been bound by a drop of blood.

He could also forcibly sever the Bloodline link and take it directly as his own!

Powerful—this Weapon Secret, like the other Nine Secrets, could be described as terrifyingly formidable!

With this Weapon Secret, an enemy's divine weapon would no longer be their advantage, but his!

“Phew!”

Before long, the mysterious torrent of information in his mind was completely digested.

He now understood the use of the Weapon Secret perfectly; he could trigger it instantaneously.

Ye Chen exhaled a long breath of turbid Qi and slowly opened his eyes, a satisfied smile on his face.

“Not bad, not bad. This Sign-in reward has given me even greater confidence.”

“With this, my safety is even more guaranteed for the trip to Guhan State and Wutian Prefecture!”

Although his current strength was decent and he should be able to fight or even kill a Great Saint Realm expert,

the Guhan State and Wutian Prefecture he was heading to were both indisputably top-tier provinces.

Within these two great provinces, there were several Great Saints, even Saint King experts, and even Quasi-Emperors presiding over them.

With his strength, he wouldn't be called weak in those two provinces, but he certainly couldn't be called a supreme powerhouse either.

There, it would be a new beginning for his cultivation!

“Boom!”

At that moment, Ye Chen felt that the tribulation lightning energy within the Universe in the Sleeve world had been entirely refined.

Sensing this, he slightly checked his current cultivation.

Spirit power cultivation: Saint Realm Third Stage Peak!

Physical Body cultivation: Saint Realm Eighth Stage Peak!

Divine Soul cultivation: Great Saint Realm First Stage Peak!

“It seems I've broken through more than I expected.”

Ye Chen retracted his Divine Soul power and murmured to himself.

If he were placed in the North Heaven Province now, he would be among the top ranks of powerhouses based on cultivation alone.

Not to mention his combat power; even if all the Martial Artists in the North Heaven Province attacked together, they likely wouldn't be his match.

He had completely transcended the North Heaven Province and stepped into a new level!

Thinking of the massive increase in strength from the war between the two Empires, Ye Chen smacked his lips, wanting more.

“Before the war, my strength could only be said to have stepped into the scope of the Saint Realm.”

“Now, I have jumped out of the Saint Realm scope and entered the Great Saint Realm scope.”

“If I could have a few more large-scale wars, wouldn't I be able to directly rival a Saint King or even a Quasi-Emperor?”

After speaking, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Next, he planned to head to the Wutian Kingdom in Wutian Prefecture first.

The extremely declined Wutian Empire could no longer be called an Empire; it could only be considered a Saint Kingdom.

Within Wutian Prefecture, there were still many Immortal Lineages that had once targeted the Wutian Empire.

Under the interference of those Immortal Lineages, the now extremely declined Wutian Kingdom certainly wasn't doing well.

Even if those Immortal Lineages no longer deigned to act against the Wutian Kingdom themselves, their lackeys were more than happy to do so.

After reaching Wutian Prefecture, he would learn about the specific current situation of the Wutian Kingdom.

Could he perhaps make some moves against the lackeys of those Immortal Lineages?

As if thinking of something interesting, a wicked smile appeared at the corners of Ye Chen's mouth.

“Good, it's decided!”

After speaking, Ye Chen summoned a large pile of cultivation resources and High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Then, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in a state of cultivation.

It was still early; once dawn broke, he would go find the Grand Elder to explain his departure.

The Grand Elder should still be in the Blood Martial Empire and hasn't returned yet, right?

Time passed, and soon, several hours slipped away quietly.

During those past few hours, not a single place in the North Heaven Province was peaceful.

All the living beings in the North Heaven Province were heatedly discussing two earth-shattering events that had occurred in succession.

First, an unprecedented tribulation cloud had covered the entire North Heaven Province, and no one knew who was breaking through.

Then, the uncrowned overlord of the North Heaven Province, Lord Long Daotian of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, was going to visit the East State Empire.

Either of these two matters, taken alone, would be enough to cause a sensation throughout the North Heaven Province.

And now, these two events had happened almost one after the other.

The inhabitants of the North Heaven Province could not calm down; over the past few hours, the discussion had only grown more fervent.

Furthermore, insiders spread new information, claiming that Lord Long Daotian of the Heavenly Dragon Empire

had already set out from the Heavenly Dragon Empire with an envoy delegation, heading toward the East State Empire.

Consequently, the entire North Heaven Province was in an uproar again, closely following the subsequent developments.

Inside Zhendong Pass, it was still bustling, but compared to last night, many figures had already left.

The experts from various Sects and aristocratic families had left Zhendong Pass overnight, returning to their own respective powers.

Lord Long Daotian of the Heavenly Dragon Empire visiting their East State Empire was an opportunity for them.

Now that they knew this news, they had to return to their Sects to seek a way to seize this opportunity.

In a room deep within Zhendong City.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes on the bed, calming the aura around him.

“One night of cultivation has brought another Breakthrough; my spirit power cultivation has reached the Saint Realm Fourth Stage.”

“It's just a pity that the other two types of cultivation are still at their Peaks and haven't broken through yet.”

“But it's time to end the cultivation and get to business!”

As he spoke, he stood up, tore through space, and disappeared from the room.

His cultivation journey was about to enter a new stage!
