I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 768 - 541: Spacetime Amber (Part 2)

Later, as his power rapidly increased and he went through more significant events, he gradually left this amber behind, until at this moment, seeing Yang Yuting’s crystal sealing, it reappeared in his mind.

After all the Beastmen were completely sealed by the black crystals, Yang Yuting lightly tapped his fingertips, and several black crystal sculptures turned into streams of light, which he then stored in the space equipment at his waist.

His black crystal sealing can temporarily maintain the basic vital signs of the life forms, and placing them in the space equipment for a short period will not have any impact.

"General Qin, the offenders have been properly sealed, and I will escort them back now." Yang Yuting said solemnly.

In his view, this batch of Tier Seven Beastman Royal Family members is crucial for diplomatic negotiations between the two Empires, and cannot afford any delays.

"Alright." Qin Tian nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, "But Major General Yang, before you go, there’s a minor matter I’d like to trouble you with."

"Please speak, General." Yang Yuting immediately responded formally.

Qin Tian flipped his palm and took out the amber that had been sealed for so long from the Spirit Space, gently handing it to Yang Yuting: "I came across this a few years ago, it has an Ancient Giant Beast’s essence blood sealed inside. I’ve tried numerous methods but haven’t been able to break the seal. I noticed your crystal sealing ability and the amber share some similarities; I wanted to ask if you could take a look and see if there’s a way to safely extract the essence blood inside."

"Let me try." Yang Yuting took the amber, examined it closely, and a faint black crystal energy began to swirl around his fingertips, cautiously probing the surface of the amber.

After a moment, he withdrew the energy, furrowed his brows, and spoke with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "General, this... seems to be the legendary Time-Space Amber."

"Time-Space Amber?" Qin Tian raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing a flash of doubt, "What is this thing?"

Upon mentioning this item, a barely concealed excitement arose in Yang Yuting’s eyes, and his speech unintentionally quickened: "The Time-Space Amber is a rare cosmic wonder! According to the Seventh Bureau’s secret archives, it was a sacred relic of the Anya Race, original inhabitants of the Central Star Realm’s Sedaya planet, from thirty thousand years ago. Its sole function is sealing; a creature sealed within will be completely isolated from time and space, capable of waking up perfectly intact even after thousands of years if the seal is lifted."

He paused, his tone becoming increasingly serious: "What’s more terrifying is the strength of its seal—it’s said that even a top Tier Eight or Nine Spiritualist sealed within wouldn’t be able to break it on their own; attempting to forcefully open it from the outside is equally impossible."

"Three thousand years ago, the Time-Space Amber appeared briefly within the Empire’s borders, then vanished without a trace. I didn’t expect to see it again today!" Yang Yuting’s tone carried a trace of regret as he looked at Qin Tian, "Unfortunately, this is just a fragment of the seal."

"General Qin, if it were any other sealing object, I might be able to find a way to break it, but the Time-Space Amber is a cosmos-level wonder. Not only me, looking across the entire Empire, I doubt anyone could forcefully break the seal." Yang Yuting returned the amber to Qin Tian, speaking truthfully, "To release the essence blood inside, you’d have to find the original Time-Space Amber to unseal it using its power."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian’s eyes showed obvious astonishment.

Time-Space Amber? Could it really be such a high-end item?

He thought to himself, he had obtained this amber right after advancing to Tier One Spiritualist, thinking he’d find a way to break the seal as his power grew.

As for the essence blood inside, he hadn’t been overly concerned—given his current physical strength, ordinary essence blood was already of no use.

He had simply been curious to witness the mysteriousness of the Ancient Giant Beast’s essence blood, intending to feed it to Kazik or Li Qi after seeing it.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary amber had such a grand origin that even Tier Eight or Nine powerhouses were helpless before it!

Yet the more this was the case, Qin Tian felt a growing interest in the essence blood sealed inside the amber.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Major General Yang, for clearing things up." Qin Tian took back the amber, smilingly nodding without showing the slightest disappointment.

"You’re welcome."

Yang Yuting raised his hand in salute, "Time is pressing, I will depart now."

"Hmm, take care." Qin Tian nodded slightly, watching Yang Yuting turn and leave the room.

After Yang Yuting left, Qin Tian tidied his military uniform and headed straight to the interstellar transfer point within the teleportation station.

"Hello, I need to go to the Euro continent." He handed his identification to the station staff.

The staff took the document and skillfully ran it through a verification machine. Instantly, Qin Tian’s complete identity information appeared on the screen, name, rank, deployment area... lines of clear text.

"General Qin!"

Upon seeing the information, the staff’s expression changed, abruptly standing and saluting with utmost precision, humility evident in his tone.

His respectful demeanor was not solely due to Qin Tian’s rank as Major General.

As staff at a star gate teleportation station, he’d seen numerous Major Generals. Protocol requires a respectful salute, but never with such formality.

What truly inspired his awe was the prominent label at the end of the identity information—an Empire Glory Medal recipient.

That’s the pinnacle of the Empire’s military honor system, awarded only to warriors who achieve "decisive in battle" caliber exemplary achievements.

The Empire has many battle heroes, but those who can obtain the Empire Glory Medal are heroes among heroes, the top contributors of the Empire!

Qin Tian nodded slightly, asking:

"Is there a space base station going to the Euro continent?"

He was not familiar with this space teleportation station, and was merely inquiring.

If there wasn’t, he’d find an airship to fly over, even if it took a bit more time.

As for why he didn’t use the Gate of Space, the reason was simple.

This is the Royal Star, the safest, yet most dangerous place within the Empire.

The Royal Star is filled with powerful beings, even Tier Seven, Tier Eight, or Tier Nine demigods are likely there.

If space teleportation arouses the attention of certain old monsters, or alerts the Royal Star’s defense system, that would be a big hassle.

So here, he’d stick to conventional travel methods.

"Yes, this way please."

Once receiving a response from the Euro continent space base station, the staff promptly escorted Qin Tian to a room.

Inside was a medium-sized teleportation array, where Qin Tian, as instructed, stood at the center.

Soon, a white light flashed.

Qin Tian’s figure vanished.

......

"Euro continent, Marcel City."

Qin Tian walked on the smooth cobblestone road, his gaze brushing over the ancient European-style architecture on both sides.

The light brown brick houses were neatly arranged, beneath steep red clay tile rooftops lay long narrow stained glass windows, with brass signs engraved in cursive lettering above door frames, jingling in the wind, full of vintage charm.

Sleek silver-gray airships gently glided by, their streamlined bodies emitting soft blue energy glows from the rear.

Airships shuttled among Gothic spires and Baroque buildings, the cold, hard modern technology bizarrely coexisted with the weighty elegance of ancient buildings, creating an oddly unique sensation.

Pedestrians on the street were mostly Western faces, elegantly dressed men and women with blond hair and blue eyes, walking at a leisurely pace.

The place wasn’t bustling, lacking the loudness of vehicles and horses, maintaining a warm tranquility.

Occasionally, one could see delicate pastries displayed in bread shop windows, or someone sipping coffee on outdoor seating, depicting a leisurely scene of an ancient European town, momentarily transporting one across time.

Qin Tian strolled along the street, like a tourist, savoring the local atmosphere.

It had been a long time since he could be like this, not thinking about anything, simply being a quiet tourist.

Before crossing space-time, his dream had been to travel the world, but he was always busy with work, without time for travel.

After crossing to this place, it was even more battle-ridden, with no time to rest.

With this brief vacation, he could finally relax and unwind.

However, before he walked far, a phone call suddenly came through.

"You came to the Royal Star? And now you’re in Marcel City?"

Over the phone, Dongfang Haoyue’s voice carried a hint of laughter.

Qin Tian raised an eyebrow, "Are you monitoring me?"

"How could I? Wait for me there, I’ll be there soon."

The call ended, and in less than 20 minutes, Dongfang Haoyue appeared before Qin Tian.

The first sentence he spoke moved Qin Tian inside.

"You’ve come at the right time, there’s an auction coming up, want to take a look?"

Auction?

Scenes from countless fantasy novels flashed through Qin Tian’s mind, and he immediately nodded.

"Let’s go."
