Chapter 346: Chapter 206: Tao En Became a Grandmaster

After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Star Night moved on to the main topic of the gathering.

The Celestial Destiny Seekers of Starlight City, no matter how busy they were, would gather at least once every quarter.

The gatherings held in the Star Frost Tower weren’t just for the Celestial Destiny Seekers to connect with each other.

More importantly, the Celestial Destiny Seekers would plan Starlight City’s urban development for the next quarter and summarize the situation of the previous one.

Zhong Yi, a Celestial Destiny Seeker of the new era, had been listening in on this meeting the whole time.

When it came to issues like the development and planning of Starlight City, Zhong Yi couldn’t really offer any input.

Compared to managing a city, Zhong Yi preferred to develop his own strength and build a private force completely under his own control.

"For the next quarter, Wen Tao and I have decided to focus on increasing our strength."

"Wen Tao and I plan to explore a Fourth Level Secret Realm at least twice in the next three months."

Lin Zhuo spoke with great determination.

It was a turbulent time, and because of their limited strength, Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao couldn’t be of much help amidst the turmoil.

On top of that, Zhong Yi had explored a First Level Secret Realm three times in a row within just two months.

This made Lin Zhuo feel that he and Wen Tao should also step up their game.

Hearing this, Star Night’s tone was gentle yet extremely serious as they admonished them.

"Wei Re, you and Jing Shui have outstanding potential among the Celestial Destiny Seekers of your generation. The Rule Decrees your Emperor’s Tools can unleash allow your Potential Levels to take a step beyond their original foundation."

"Even if you want to improve yourselves, don’t put yourselves in danger. A Fourth Level Secret Realm is still too perilous for you."

"It would be better to wait until both of your Order Beasts have reached the Immortal Tier before you try to explore a Fourth Level Secret Realm."

Once a Secret Realm reaches the Fourth Level, its Rules become different from those of the first three levels.

The first three levels of Secret Realms correspond to the Mortal Beast Tier, Extraordinary Tier, and Fantasy Tier, respectively.

But when a Secret Realm reaches the Fourth Level, it’s not just Mythical Tier Guardian Beast Masters who can explore it; Immortal Tier Guardian Beast Masters can as well.

For a Mythical Tier to explore a Fourth Level Secret Realm was really pushing it.

Even if Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao’s strength had already reached the Mythical Tier Peak!

As for a Fifth Level Secret Realm, it corresponds to the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations and all the powerful individuals below that level.

A Mortal Beast Tier Guardian Beast Master could also enter a Fifth Level Secret Realm, but if one were foolish enough to try, they wouldn’t even have to encounter a Demon.

The extremely harsh environment within the Fifth Level Secret Realm could easily kill a Guardian Beast Master unable to activate their Beast Pattern.

As for a Sixth Level Secret Realm, reaching the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations is merely the entry requirement.

Star Night and the Dragon Emperor once teamed up to explore a Sixth Level Secret Realm, but they quickly withdrew.

Because they discovered that within the Sixth Level Secret Realm, they could only kill the ordinary Creatures.

Facing Elite Level units in the Sixth Level Secret Realm, killing them was already very difficult.

The toll of killing a single Elite unit in a Sixth Level Secret Realm was enormous, requiring the assistance of teammates from the Support and Healing Elements.

Both Star Night and the Dragon Emperor’s Abilities were primarily offensive.

For the past thirty years, the number of Celestial Destiny Seekers in the Xin Xia Federation has been continuously dwindling. Compared to being hunted by the Bizarre in the shadows, far more Celestial Destiny Seekers were lost during Secret Realm explorations.

In Starlight City, there were originally three Celestial Destiny Seekers in Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo’s generation.

The one whose talent was slightly inferior to Wen Tao’s and Lin Zhuo’s had been too eager for quick success, misjudged a situation, and died in a Second Level Secret Realm.

Even someone as powerful as Star Night could do nothing about it.

Hearing this, Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao exchanged a bitter smile.

Both Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao were currently stuck in the same predicament.

Their other contracted Guardian Beasts were fine, but the Quality of their Order Beasts showed no signs of improvement.

If they wanted to make any progress in the future, they had to ensure their Order Beasts’ Quality was raised to Diamond Quality when they advanced to the Immortal Tier.

This would allow the Guardian Beasts to undergo the greatest Bloodline transformation of their evolutionary lives.

Only then could they guarantee that the Rule Purity Body condensed at the Immortal Tier would be powerful enough.

Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo had been stuck at the Mythical Tier Peak for over ten years.

The reason they remained at the Mythical Tier was that their Order Beasts’ Quality showed no sign of a breakthrough.

Over the years, Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo had used their accumulated resources to find some Five-finger Creators to help them concoct Potions.

Fifth Level Potions were effective on their Guardian Beasts, but trying to rely on them to raise the beasts’ Quality and complete their Bloodline transformation upon reaching the Immortal Tier was a bit of a gamble!

Moreover, finding a Five-finger Creator to concoct a single Potion required an immense amount of resources.

Not only did they have to provide the Spiritual Materials themselves, but they also had to pay the Five-finger Creator a seven-figure sum for each Potion concocted.

In fact, the cost of maintaining a relationship with a Five-finger Creator was even greater than the cost of concocting the Potion itself.

For example, even though Wen Tao knew that Zhong Yi possessed the main ingredient, Dragon Blood Rose, he had been unable to use a Dragon Breath Potion to increase the Dragon Breath Strength of his contracted Dragon Species Guardian Beasts.

This was because Wen Tao had no connection to a Six-finger Creator.

After thinking it over, Wen Tao felt it wasn’t right to ask Star Night to call in a favor for him.

After all, Wen Tao wanted more than just one Dragon Breath Potion.

Star Night could see the difficulties Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao were currently facing from their expressions.

Star Night had gone through the same thing back in the day.

Before reaching the Immortal Tier, when one couldn’t yet explore Fourth Level Secret Realms smoothly, it was very difficult for any Guardian Beast Master or Celestial Destiny Seeker to acquire a large amount of resources.
