It was not that there were no top-grade half-step Rulers in the Humans. On the contrary, there should be many of them.
After all, the Humans Federation had been recuperating for half a century because of the Emperors' Pact. During this period, there were very few battles above the King Realm. All the geniuses and the strongest powerhouses of the Humans were working hard to improve their cultivation bases and strengths.
Many human martial artists who had reached the peak of the Emperors' Pact or half-step Rulers as early as when the Emperors' Pact was initially signed had become top-grade half-step Rulers. After more than 50 years of peace, even if they did not use any resources, just relying on hard work was enough for them to improve their cultivation bases to the peak of half-step Rulers.
Nevertheless, in order to comprehend enough laws of the great path and prepare to break through to become a Ruler, such top-grade half-step Rulers had long escaped into the void and entered closed-door cultivation.
Unless the Humans encountered a life-and-death crisis and triggered some early warning restrictions that they had left outside in advance, or if they had comprehended the laws of the great path to perfection and appeared on their own, even Li Miaocai and the other half-step Rulers would not be able to find where they were in closed-door cultivation.
Of course, if the 3 Rulers were still around, there might be a way to summon them out of the void.
However, at this moment, Li Miaocai did not have the slightest way to take the initiative to search for these top-grade half-step Rulers who were in closed-door cultivation, let alone persuade them to acknowledge Yang Fan as their master to do some experiments.
That was closed-door cultivation, which was different from normal closed-door cultivation in the underground secret room. If they were disturbed by the outside world, they might interrupt an important epiphany cultivation, and it was possible for them to go mad.
Therefore, even if Li Miaocai and Ji Sicheng knew some early warning methods that their clan's top-grade half-step Rulers had left outside, they would not easily use them to disturb them.
"I see …"
Hearing Li Miaocai and Ji Sicheng's narration, Yang Fan could not help but be slightly startled, revealing a trace of surprise.
No wonder.
No wonder he had stayed in the Federal Center City and the Capital for so long. He had encountered countless powerhouses and even dozens of half-step Rulers, but he had never seen a martial artist whose cultivation base happened to be at the peak of the half-step Ruler.
It turned out that there were some.
Instead, they had all hidden themselves in the void and entered closed-door cultivation in order to break through to the half-step or Ruler boundary.
"In that case, if I want to find a top-grade half-step Ruler to do experiments, I can only nurture him myself?"
Yang Fan shook his head in disappointment. From the looks of it now, it was impossible to eat the ready-made ones. He could only rely on himself and nurture them.
"Fortunately, my disciples are quite capable. Especially Duoduo and Ling Tian. With the boost provided by the Thousand Year Violet Core and Natural Violet Energy, it probably wouldn't take long for them to improve their cultivations to the peak of the Half-step Monarch Realm!"
A normal half-step Ruler would need at least 10 to 20 years to reach the peak of his cultivation base. This should be the speed of a God-favored one with extraordinary aptitudes.
After all, the experience required to upgrade a half-step Emperor was more than ten times that of a peak Emperor. It was far from easy to accumulate.
As for Ling Tian and Sang Duoduo, they were prodigies among prodigies. Their aptitudes were godly and they had their own anomalies. Ordinary prodigies could not compare to them.
In addition, a rich master like Yang Fan would not hesitate to spend all kinds of rare resources on them. Their cultivation speed was absolutely unprecedented.
"If that's the case, then forget it. Let nature take its course."
Yang Fan shook his head and expressed his opinion. He no longer fantasized about searching for peak half-step Rulers for experiments. It was unrealistic.
However, Yang Fan was more or less delighted to know that there were still some human peak half-step Rulers who were trying to break through to the Monarch Realm hidden in the endless void.
The Human Race was not as weak as he had imagined.
The experts of the Human Clan were not as rare as he had thought.
This was a joyous occasion. It was time to toast!
After biting a piece of roasted meat and taking a sip of wine, Yang Fan's mood returned to its previous joy.
Ji Sicheng glanced at Li Miaocai. He opened his mouth several times to ask Yang Fan if there was any way to help them, half-step Emperors, directly break through.
Speaking of which, these old fogeys had all been stuck at the current bottleneck for decades. Because of their Dao injuries, it had been difficult for them to make any progress. They also wanted to be like those peak Emperor Realm Masters and easily break through to the next realm.
Nevertheless, when the words were about to come out of their mouths, it was as if their lips were glued together. They could not open their mouths no matter how hard they tried.
They really could not bring themselves to ask.
It could not be helped. It was not easy to find a test subject. Before they had a guinea pig to verify that Yang Fan could really help half-step Emperors break through, none of these old fellows would give up their pride and take the initiative to acknowledge Yang Fan as their master.
In fact …
Even if it was confirmed that Yang Fan had the ability to help them break through, most of the half-step Emperors would not be willing to lower themselves to acknowledge a junior as their master.
Powerhouses had their own dignity.
Although they were not True Emperors, they were half a step into the Ruler realm. As long as their Dao injuries were healed, they could transform into real Rulers at any time.
Therefore, it was not a problem to ask Yang Fan to treat their Dao injuries. Even if they had to owe him a favor and take out all their savings, it would not be a problem.
However, it would be difficult for them to acknowledge Yang Fan as their master.
Ji Sicheng did not care much about his face. As long as his strength could be increased, it did not matter who he acknowledged. It was just a formality.
Nonetheless, the problem now was that they lacked guinea pigs. Even Yang Fan himself did not know if his divine ability was effective on half-step Emperors. If he took the initiative to acknowledge Ou Yangming as his master but could not increase his strength in the end, would it not be a loss?
If he lost face and did not gain any benefits, he would only be a joke.
Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Ji Sicheng still did not open his mouth. He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, Yang Fan would directly grab a strong man and use him as a guinea pig for the experiment.
"Let's wait and see. There's no hurry."
Ji Sicheng shook his head. He still could not make up his mind.
At this moment, the sky, which was still clear a second ago, suddenly darkened. The sun, which was originally hanging high in the sky, was completely covered by dark clouds that appeared out of nowhere.
The day turned into night.
Li Miaocai, Ji Sicheng, and Yang Fan had a thought at the same time. They flew out of the room at the same time.
Looking up at the sky, the dark clouds covered the sky, and there was not the slightest bit of light. The three of them extended their mental strength at the same time and spread it to the surroundings of the capital.
Soon, even though their mental strength extended beyond the extreme range, it was still dark.
"This isn't normal. Normal rainy weather wouldn't be able to cover up all the sunlight."
Li Miaocai frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice.
His mental strength had even enveloped the entire capital's Guardian Residence. However, he still could not explore the dark area covered by the dark clouds.
Moreover, the dark clouds in the void were also extremely abnormal. Normal rain clouds generally gathered at an altitude of two to three thousand meters and turned into rain.
However, the dark clouds above their heads had completely exceeded the range of Li Miaocai's mental perception.
This was very abnormal.
He was a half-step Emperor. Even if his mental strength had not reached the Great Dao, his mental perception could at least extend to tens of thousands of kilometers.
In the end, at an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers, he still could not explore the location of the dark clouds.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this time, Gu Zeyan, Lan Yuanqing, Sima Xuefeng, and the rest of the powerhouses in the city also noticed the strange people. They flew up one after another and stood in the open space of the city. They looked up at the sky and probed around.
"What happened?"
"Could it be that the spiritual energy tide is about to erupt again?"
"Nonsense. Although there are also strange phenomena in the world when the spiritual energy tide erupts, it has never turned the world into night."
"Moreover, the spiritual energy tide only erupts once every ten years. The fifteenth spiritual energy tide has only just passed a few months ago. How could it erupt again so soon?"
"…"
Everyone was uneasy, and the sound of discussion and debate was everywhere.
"The communication signal has been completely cut off! The power grid in the city is also completely paralyzed. Only the psionic electric lights can still be used. "
At this time, someone discovered a piece of information that made them even more flustered.
Only then did they realize that the night had fallen for so long, but there were not many lights in the city. This was somewhat abnormal.
Someone raised his wristwatch. The wristwatch was powered by psionic power and could be turned on normally. However, the signal grid in the wristwatch had directly gone to zero, and there was no signal at all.
"Could it be that the spiritual energy tide has really erupted? Every time the spiritual energy tide comes, all electronic devices seem to be affected to a certain extent."
Thinking of some people's previous guesses, a trace of doubt arose in everyone's hearts. No one knew whether this sudden abnormal change was a blessing or a curse. Everyone was extremely worried.
At this time, Lan Yuanqing, Gu Zeyan, and the rest also discovered the aura of Yang Fan, Li Miaocai, and Ji Sicheng. They all flashed over.
"Elder Ji!" "Elder Li!" "Doctor Yang!"
After cupping their hands and greeting them, the group of people's gazes were all on the two Demi-Emperor bigwigs, Ji Sicheng and Li Miaocai.
The two of them were now the strongest powerhouses with the highest cultivation in the capital. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the guardian gods. Everyone wanted to hear the opinions of these two bigwigs.
"Don't look at me like that. I am also confused right now."
Ji Sicheng shook his head slightly and said indifferently, "However, we can be sure that this phenomenon is not only happening in our capital's Guardian Residence. It should be the same in other regions as well."
At this time, Lan Yuanqing raised the new type of global communication device that was specially used by the city lord in his hand and interrupted, "Elder Ji is right. I just received news that this phenomenon is not only happening in our capital, but also in the thirty-six regions of the Federation and even in the Demon Territory."
"If I'm not mistaken, this phenomenon should be global in nature. Its origin is unknown, and its duration is uncertain. This is really too abnormal. I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"
