Chapter 1303 - 1403: Taken Into the Divine Pearl

If it weren't for the existence of Ye Tianfan, then the entire exploration process beyond the wall would not have occurred.

Although Ye Tianfan does not care about such statements, the Way of the Taichu Sect cannot ignore Ye Tianfan's contributions.

After all, if the core is forgotten, it would eventually lead to tragedy, because if the core can be forgotten, it would prove that the entire team exploring beyond the wall is just a bunch of ungrateful entities.

Of course, at this moment, Ye Tianfan needs to hide his own reasons because if he exposes that he possesses two Heaven and Earth's Ultimate Treasures, he will face great danger. This danger exists not only when Ye Tianfan returns inside the wall but also when Ye Tianfan is outside the wall, as he might be ambushed by some villains. After all, some people don't care whether you really have a suitable opportunity; they only think about getting rich first, regardless of whether others suffer.

This is also why the Way of the Taichu Sect advises Ye Tianfan to conceal himself well. It's not about preventing him from becoming famous, but about protecting him. Ye Tianfan understands the Way of the Taichu Sect's intention for him to hide—for his own protection—so he doesn't cause trouble or engage in other behavior.

After all, some people don't understand why their mentors would replace them as the core, which leads them to inadvertently reveal that they are the core themselves, thereby attracting others' covetousness.

Then situations may occur where this individual is harmed or killed, although such incidents are rare, they certainly happen. The Way of the Taichu Sect previously felt very gratified upon seeing Ye Tianfan's sensible behavior because he recognizes that Ye Tianfan is not only a genius in terms of strength but also in terms of intelligence. At the very least, he can understand the reasons why his elders make such decisions, rather than blindly causing a scene regardless of the reason.

After all, the Way of the Taichu Sect often witnesses those geniuses who perish halfway, and in the Way of the Taichu Sect's plans, Ye Tianfan is the future Sect Leader of Taichu Sect. Although there have been many geniuses who perished halfway, and losing Ye Tianfan wouldn't be any different, the Way of the Taichu Sect believes that Ye Tianfan is a true genius, unlike the others who are superficial and arrogant.

Ye Tianfan was able to achieve a level of power that others might not reach even after decades in just a few short years, demonstrating a level of genius comparable to the Immortal Ancestor of Taichu Sect, although the Way of the Taichu Sect does not know exactly how high their founder's talent was.

However, the Way of the Taichu Sect knows that even if the ancestor's talent was incredibly high, it probably wouldn't surpass Ye Tianfan's. After all, Ye Tianfan's talent is exceptionally high.

Honestly, the Way of the Taichu Sect has lived for quite a long time, including throughout history, and has never encountered someone with such staggering and enviable talent as Ye Tianfan. After all, Ye Tianfan surpassed what would take others decades or centuries to achieve in just five years.

Historically, there has never been anyone with talent as high as Ye Tianfan's, and most importantly, before Ye Tianfan arrived, the acknowledged person with the highest talent was the Demon Sect Leader. But now, comparing Ye Tianfan to the Demon Sect Leader, Ye Tianfan would outshine the Demon Sect Leader in an instant.

After all, it took the Demon Sect Leader a full twenty years to advance to the Thousand Source Realm.

From this, it's evident that Ye Tianfan's talent is at least four times that of the Demon Sect Leader, though this multiple is merely estimated based on the time they each took. In reality, it's not that simple, because talent should be assessed from various aspects, not just a single task. Therefore, nobody can precisely calculate how much Ye Tianfan's talent surpasses the Demon Sect Leader's, because talent isn't just about time.

It involves many other factors, and estimating talent precisely is very troublesome. A rough calculation, however, is straightforward.

Of course, if people want to meticulously calculate talent, basically no one can determine it accurately. They can only estimate the relative level of talent, not the precise value.

After all, the calculations involved in determining talent are beyond anyone's capabilities. If someone truly wanted to calculate it, they would need to sacrifice at least a hundred years of cultivation time, and nobody would do that just to measure talent. All they need to know is who's more talented.

Moreover, the Way of the Taichu Sect doesn't care about the exact level of talent of these individuals, because it's basically impossible to calculate it entirely. Simply estimating that Ye Tianfan's talent is very high satisfies them.

After all, aside from non-human entities, no one would attempt to calculate such things, and trying to do so is not worth the effort and ultimately meaningless.

Meanwhile, Ye Tianfan is struggling with whether to capture this alien mantis-like creature and place it within the Chaos Divine Pearl. After all, this mantis-like creature from beyond the wall was captured alive, but Ye Tianfan feels that if he captures this alien mantis-like creature, he will need to keep an eye on it constantly.

Indeed, the Way of the Taichu Sect also informed Ye Tianfan about the current situation with the alien mantis-like creature, and Ye Tianfan knows what to do.

Because of this, Ye Tianfan is hesitating, because although capturing the alien creature within the Chaos Divine Pearl would provide everyone with a live target for research, it would greatly increase his workload.

It's not that Ye Tianfan dislikes work, but the increased workload that requires constant supervision makes Ye Tianfan a bit distressed.

After all, Ye Tianfan doesn't know when they'll be able to return to their base, so regarding the matter of continuously monitoring this alien creature, Ye Tianfan is somewhat reluctant, because keeping an eye on it and ensuring it doesn't injure his people is a very exhausting task.

Nonetheless, Ye Tianfan still decides to capture the mantis-like alien creature within the Chaos Divine Pearl, as this wouldn't only benefit him; everyone will benefit. They will be able to research how to deal with alien creatures, possibly finding other ways.

If someone discovers a method, everyone will check if the method works for them. If it does, it will become a new strategy for dealing with alien creatures.
