I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 974: Chapter 632: Clues to the Amber of Time and Space (2)

Qin Tian heard this and suddenly laughed: ”So, you want to use a vague lead about a mystical artifact in the cosmos to have me kill your own brother? Is this the irresistible condition you mentioned?”

Kesler’s face was calm and there was not a hint of guilt: ”General Qin, I believe no one can resist the temptation of the Time Amber. Moreover, you should see that the existence sealed in the Amber is not from any known race, and behind him, there must be ancient secrets that can overturn what we know. Aren’t you curious at all, don’t you want to find out?”

”Even if you’re not interested in the secrets, exchanging the life of a Beastman royal for the whereabouts of a cosmic treasure—it’s a deal you’ll profit from no matter how you count it.”

Qin Tian took a deep look at Kesler.

The temptation of the Time Amber was indeed too great.

From the surface, exchanging the life of a Beastman royal for a lead to the treasure seems not to be a loss, but the risks behind it cannot be underestimated.

The Eternal Ice Silkworm is one of the nine major royal families of the Beastmen. In this Nine Star Martial Meet, there are bound to be Tier Seven or Tier Eight master warriors from the Ice Silkworm tribe accompanying them, making it extremely difficult to assassinate Broden amidst these experts.

Not to mention, after the deed is done, Kesler can completely renege, deny the deal, refuse to disclose the ruin’s coordinates; or the ruins might not have the actual Time Amber at all, and all of this could be a deathtrap against him for Unol’s revenge from the start.

But the next second, Qin Tian suddenly laughed, speaking decisively: ”Alright, I agree to this deal.”

A flash of unconcealable joy flickered in Kesler’s eyes, and he immediately extended his cold, fair hand, speaking solemnly: ”General Qin, wishing us a pleasant cooperation.”

Qin Tian raised his hand to shake it, looking straight into Kesler’s eyes: ”Kesler, let me say this upfront. Agreeing to work together does not mean I fully trust you. If you dare play tricks, believe me, you won’t leave the Celestial Stele Secret Realm alive.”

His tone was calm and devoid of waves, yet Kesler felt an overwhelming pressure; the wings of the Ice Silkworm behind him instinctively trembled, and a trace of chill rose in his heart.

”Rest assured, General Qin, I am sincerely seeking cooperation.”

Kesler took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and slowly said: ”To ensure smooth communication and mutual trust between us, once we enter the Celestial Stele Secret Realm, I will contact you actively at the first moment.”

After speaking, Kesler gently flipped another hand, revealing an ice jade object shaped like a conch in his palm, its body entirely white and lustrous.

”This is the Sound Transmission Ice Conch. Inside the Celestial Stele Secret Realm, conventional communication devices will fail. We can only rely on this secret treasure for sound transmission. Later, your Human Empire’s combat teams will also be provided with Sound Transmission Conches. This Ice Conch is my private collection and currently has an exclusive sound transmission channel set with another conch that I carry, showing highly reliable confidentiality. Using this, you and I can communicate anytime in the Secret Realm without being intercepted by third parties.”

Qin Tian took the Sound Transmission Ice Conch, feeling its cool and smooth texture, with its stable space fluctuations clearly perceivable inside.

”Alright. I hope you don’t disappoint me.” Qin Tian put away the Ice Conch and spoke lightly.

His willingness to take on this highly risky deal was never a gamble on Kesler’s character; it originated from his own vast confidence in his formidable strength.

Over the past six months, benefiting from multiple Holy Blood-grade talents and unrestricted resource investment, his Spiritual Ability Level had steadily broken through from Tier Seven Three Stars to Tier Seven Five Stars.

In merely half a year, advancing two stars within Tier Seven, this breakthrough, if spread around, would be enough to shake the world.

Besides the skyrocketing cultivation, during this period, he had also cleared unknown planets and slaughtered Ice Giant Beasts, amassing evolution points that exceeded the 1 billion mark.

This terrifying sum of evolution points, invested into any Holy Blood talent, would enable his combat strength to make a leap forward again.
