Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 517 - 309: Made a Fortune_1

Hearing Gu Ao Duo speak in such a manner, Ye Feng immediately understood that the other party was intentionally giving him advice.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he respectfully replied, "Thank you for the advice, Elder. Then, I will exchange for the Hidden Sky Boat."

"Haha! Not bad, not hesitating even a bit. Alright, go ahead and exchange it!" Gu Ao Duo’s laughter came from the metal token.

Indeed, without any further hesitation, Ye Feng immediately chose to exchange for the Hidden Sky Boat on the exchange list.

He thought it through clearly; the other party had no need to deceive him, and as long as it was a Divine Artifact, it would be a worthwhile gain for him.

What’s more crucial was that if what the other party said was true, then the Hidden Sky Boat would indeed be the item he needed most.

"Would you like to spend 10,000 points to exchange for the Hidden Sky Boat?"

Ye Feng immediately selected yes.

This time his account’s points instantly dropped to zero. However, the screen did not show a successful exchange message, but rather displayed additional information.

"Upon detection, the assesses has First-class Seed Authority and qualification to exchange for an Eternal Artifact, valid for one year."

Looking at the pop-up prompt, Ye Feng was somewhat dumbfounded.

Where was his Divine Artifact?

How did it turn into eligibility for an assessment?

If he were to fail the assessment, does that mean he would not get the Divine Artifact?

One question after another surfaced in Ye Feng’s mind, and for a moment he felt as if he had been tricked.

However, after calming down slightly and looking at the prompt again, he realized that this might actually be the real great opportunity.

What does this imply?

It indicates that others, even if they managed to gather 10,000 points, without the qualifications of a First-class Seed, wouldn’t even have the eligibility to take the assessment for the Hidden Sky Boat.

So how powerful exactly is the Hidden Sky Boat?

Just as his emotions fluctuated wildly, Gu Ao Duo’s voice came from the metal token again, "Are you curious now as to why exchanging for the Hidden Sky Boat is so complicated?"

"Yes, but I believe that the better the item, the harder it is to acquire, which is why an assessment is required," Ye Feng replied earnestly.

"Haha, you’re quite insightful, kid. But to give you some motivation, let me explain a bit more," Gu Ao Duo’s voice paused, then continued in a serious tone, "When you were exchanging, you saw it right? That’s an Eternal Artifact."

"Yes, I saw it," Ye Feng promptly chimed in.

"Divine Artifacts are also categorized by grades. Generally, Divine Artifacts are divided into top-grade, middle-level, and lower-grade."

"Although there are many Divine Artifacts in your era, the majority are lower-grade Divine Artifacts, and even middle-level Artifacts are considered scarce."

"Even mighty beings who have truly become gods find it difficult to acquire a top-grade Artifact."

"Above top-grade Artifacts, there are Supreme Artifacts. Such level of Artifacts are usually the foundation of major powers."

"For example, in your era, only the most powerful ’Tai Chu Mountain Gate’ possesses a Supreme Artifact."

"As for Eternal Artifacts, they are often created by standout figures of an era who have consolidated the resources of the entire universe, with the possibility of crafting them."

"Moreover, even when created, they are merely prototypes, requiring an immensely long time to nurture before they may become true Eternal Artifacts."

"The Hidden Sky Boat is a Quasi-eternal Divine Artifact," Gu Ao Duo said slowly.

His every word seemed to transform into silent Heavenly Thunder, echoing in Ye Feng’s mind, making his eyes widen, and his breathing became hurried.

By this time, how could he not know that an enormous opportunity lay before him?

"Then, Lord Gu Ao Duo, what does the assessment entail?" Ye Feng promptly inquired.

"The content of the assessment is simple; if you can successfully control the Hidden Sky Boat, you will be deemed to have passed the assessment. If you can’t even activate the Hidden Sky Boat, then it would be useless to you even if given."

"Of course, while the content of the assessment is simple, the difficulty is immense. The Hidden Sky Boat, being an Eternal Artifact, has very stringent conditions to activate it. Firstly, you must grasp a Supreme Rule."

"That’s a mandatory condition. Without the Rule Comprehension of the Life Rule, you wouldn’t even qualify to take this assessment."

"Next, you need to elevate your comprehension of the Life Rule to the Heavenly Ground Realm."

"As long as these two conditions are met, then you can activate the Hidden Sky Boat and use it against your enemies," Gu Ao Duo explained.

The first condition was easy for Ye Feng to comprehend, but the second condition...

"Lord Gu Ao Duo, may I ask what exactly does ’realm’ mean?" Adhering to the principle of asking whenever in doubt, Ye Feng asked directly.

"That refers to the depth of rule comprehension, a division in terms of realm."

"For instance, your current basic comprehension of the Life Rule means you are in the initial Rule Realm."

"You must reach this realm in order to break through to the Seventh Order, which is why Seventh Order Strongmen are also known as Rule Realm Strongmen."

"Above the Rule Realm is the realm, and only with Rule Comprehension at this level can one break through to the Eighth Order; hence, those Eighth Order Strongmen you see can all wield realms."

"Then comes the Heavenly Ground Realm. That’s the hallmark of the Ninth Order Strongmen, turning their realm into Heaven and Earth and, during battle, it’s as if a miniature Heaven and Earth empowers them, making every strike possess the power to move mountains and seas," Gu Ao Duo elucidated for Ye Feng.
