Chapter 281: Why is He Here?

“Stop playing dead.” The long-haired beauty looked down.

The tip of the sword pointed, and a sword energy shot down from the sky, piercing through part of Wang Ye’s shattered body.

In an instant, Wang Ye’s cells reorganized, and he returned to his original appearance. He smiled and waved at the sky.

Whoosh!

The long-haired beauty landed in front of him.

“This is not a place you should be.” She looked at Wang Ye with her valiant and proud face.

“Well, I’m already here.” Wang Ye shrugged.

He had a deep memory of this long-haired beauty.

It had nothing to do with whether she was pretty or not. It was purely because she was frank. She had paid the consultation fee without hesitation and became his second customer.

“You are too greedy.” The long-haired, beautiful swordswoman looked at him. “The money you earned this time should have been enough for you to become rich. It’s more than enough for you to enjoy yourself or cultivate. Why bother?”

“This sum of money is just a drizzle…” Wang Ye thought to himself.

There were still many mines to come.

“Aren’t you the same?” Wang Ye asked.

“I’m different from you.” The long-haired beauty pursed her thin lips.

Wang Ye smiled and didn’t ask further. “Are you interested in forming an alliance?”

“What benefits do I get from forming an alliance with you?” The long-haired beauty looked at him.

“What do you think?” Wang Ye looked straight into her eyes.

The more he looked at her, the better she looked.

Arrogant, cold, and mature.

“Sure. An Jinxiao.” The long-haired beauty extended her left hand. “I’m the manager of the High Clouds Sword Society.”

“Wang Ye, a man with lofty ideals.” Wang Ye reached out to shake hands.

An Jinxiao’s mouth twitched. She wanted to retort but held back. “How much information do you have now?”

“A lot.” Wang Ye’s answer was very concise.

He knew why An Jinxiao was willing to form an alliance. It was because of his performance in the core area that he displayed wisdom and strategy.

No one was stupid. The transactions between adults were based on what they needed.

An Jinxiao’s extraordinary strength was enough to kill the huge thunder-fusion dark beast in seconds, yet she was willing to ally with him. The reason was obvious.

She needed someone… to tell her information and help her clear the way!

“Let’s talk later. You killed my thunder-fusion dark beast just now. Can you give me the dark substance core?” Wang Ye smiled.

“What do you mean by your thunder-fusion dark beast? You were clearly playing dead…” An Jinxiao couldn’t help but curse in her heart, but she remained expressionless and just nodded.

“Thanks.” Wang Ye walked over.

He had almost figured out An Jinxiao’s personality. She was someone who couldn’t lower her stance.

Wang Ye’s eyes sparkled as he walked to the shattered dark substance core.

He had been eyeing the huge thunder-fusion dark beast for a long time, but he never had the chance.

The three dark substance cores should have different effects.

This one…

The moment he touched it, Wang Ye felt a surge of majestic energy enter his body.

Cosmic energy that had fused with dark substance surged into his body like a tidal wave. Then, streams of aura surged into his mind, and his consciousness shifted.

“He” floated in the starry sky of the cosmic, comprehending the great path of the cosmic. The white origin of thunder condensed on his powerful body and fused perfectly with it.

It was as if the two were born as one.

The realm was extremely high!

It was already a complete path.

Through the influx of information, Wang Ye even saw the possibility of challenging reincarnation.

Although it was very vague, as long as one continued to walk down this path, one could pass the Black Hole level reincarnation and obtain the high-dimensional strength of the cosmic to become an Undying Lifeform.

It was Senior Wu Yuan’s comprehension of the great path that merged thunder and the physical body. It was extremely profound and difficult to understand.

Even though he had learned the Thunder Fusion Technique, Wang Ye still had zero understanding of the great path.

He had a blank face, like a first-year primary school student who was studying university-level advanced mathematics.

After a long time, the dark substance core in his hand dimmed, and its energy weakened.

Wang Ye recovered from his dazed state of consciousness, but he was still in a state of chaos. He had no idea what he had comprehended.

Yet, the vigorous energy surging in his body was real.

He opened his interface.

Level 8 cosmic warrior, 36%.

111

• •
Wang Ye suppressed his joy.

In this short period, his warrior strength level had increased by as much as 35%!

If he had two more dark substance cores, wouldn’t he rise to level 9?

“It’s because my body’s foundation has become stronger.” Wang Ye understood.

Originally, the effect would not be so great. However, after absorbing the second type of dark substance core, his physique had already transformed!

If he cultivated the Thunder Ancient Evolution Technique now, the effect would be even better.

“Are you done comprehending?” An Jinxiao walked over.

“Yeah. What do you want to know?” Wang Ye turned around and smiled.

“The rules.” An Jinxiao stared at Wang Ye.

“There are three treasures in passage 7. They correspond to three different types of paths and three types of thunder fusion dark beasts,” Wang Ye said.

“I know that.” An Jinxiao paused and looked at Wang Ye. “Other than the thunder fusion dark beast, you seem to have absorbed the other two dark substance cores?”

“Yes.” Wang Ye nodded.

An Jinxiao’s beautiful eyes flashed. “It seems that everyone has underestimated your strength.”

“Everyone” referred to the first batch of experts who paid the consultation fee.

They must have had a discussion.

“That’s not important. If it’s passage ten,” Wang Ye said. “We’ll be competitors because there’s only one inheritance and treasure. But here, we can work together.”

An Jinxiao nodded. This was the reason why she chose to form an alliance.

“What is your goal?” An Jinxiao asked directly.

“The first or second treasure is fine.”

Of course, this was not what Wang Ye really wanted, but now, he had to answer in this way to avoid repeating An Jinxiao’s choice, which would cause them to become competitors.

“I want the third treasure,” An Jinxiao answered decisively.

“Are you sure? The third type of treasure has a very high requirement. It requires one to have some understanding of the great path,” Wang Ye asked in surprise.

“Sooner or later, I have to take this path.” An Jinxiao was very calm.

“But your Thunder Fusion Technique is very outstanding.” Wang Ye had sensed it in the battle just now.

In his opinion, if An Jinxiao chose the first treasure with the easiest difficulty, she would have the highest chance of winning.

“I don’t want to settle for second best,” An Jinxiao said. She was very determined.

Wang Ye didn’t try to persuade her. To him, it was a good thing. If their goals did not overlap, the cooperation would be more pleasant.

“Other than the thunder-fusion dark beasts, did you find anything else?” Wang Ye asked.

“Three stairways. Didn’t you notice?” An Jinxiao was stunned.

“Where?” Wang Ye was surprised.

“Over there.” An Jinxiao pointed behind herself.

Wang Ye nodded. “I’ll go take a look first. See you at the stairways on a cosmic day.”

“Sure.” An Jinxiao was frank.

The two of them then separated.

An alliance did not mean that they had to act together. That would be inefficient.

Although Wang Ye really wanted the dark substance core of the huge thunder-fusion dark beast, this was equivalent to snatching what An Jinxiao wanted.

The thunder-fusion dark beasts and the dark substance cores were a test and benefit that Senior Wu Yuan was giving to cosmic humans.

With a clear direction, Wang Ye quickly found three stairways.

Light enveloped the area, and the stairways led to unknown regions.

There was no one in front of the stairways, but this was because they were the first batch to enter passage 7.

An Jinxiao, Tangque Loumen, and then him.

He didn’t know when the corpse that he had found earlier had entered, though.

“The Thunder Fusion Technique is reacting.” Wang Ye walked to the first stairway. Its height was moderate, and its brightness was the lowest. When one got close, one could sense the powerful Thunder Fusion Technique. It seemed to come from a treasure.

“This one has the origin of white thunder.” Wang Ye walked to the middle stairway. It was the brightest but also the lowest. The two formed a sharp contrast.

“This one is the great path of undying formed by the fusion of the physical body and thunder.” Wang Ye walked to the last stairway. It was also very bright, only slightly inferior to the second stairway with white origin of thunder.

However, it was so high that it reached the sky, making people fascinated.

Wang Ye pondered.

It was obvious that height represented the upper limit, the level that could be reached by walking this path.

But what did brightness represent?

Difficulty? Treasure grade?

Or would it be different for each person and the degree of compatibility with oneself?

“I’ll ask An Jinxiao tomorrow.” Wang Ye nodded.

It was difficult to make a judgment without complete information, but with two, they could confirm many clues through elimination.

His choice was very simple. He would either go for the first treasure or the second.

After all, he couldn’t afford to get his hands on the third treasure now.

The fusion of thunder and the physical body was not something that he could comprehend just because he wanted to.

He hadn’t even devoured dark substance, his body hadn’t evolved, and his perception of the higher dimensions was close to zero. How could he possibly comprehend the fusion path?

“I can take the first stairway anytime.” Wang Ye’s gaze landed on it.

There was a strong reaction from the Thunder Fusion Technique.

Regardless of whether it was the Seventeen Grand Thunder Forms or the Thunder Fusion Technique, he only needed to add points to upgrade them. It wouldn’t be difficult to meet the requirements.

However, the stairway he really wanted to take was the second one. Although it was the lowest, its brightness was the strongest among the three. It was even brighter than the fusion great path!

“I wonder if Senior Wu Yuan was referring to the requirements for entering the stairs or the requirements for obtaining treasures after entering the stairs when he said that the difficulty would vary from person to person.” Wang Ye pondered.

He was currently quite weak, so he definitely had the advantage.

First of all, the difficulty would vary from person to person.

Secondly, he had gained more than a Dark Energy-level powerhouse. For example, the second type of dark substance cores could improve his physique while he could obtain energy from the third type of dark substance cores.

To an advanced Dark Energy-level expert, these changes might be minute, but to him, it was a qualitative change.

“Continue hunting and exploring.” Wang Ye soon set off again.

There was no point in staying where he was. There was still a large area of this world to explore.

Most importantly, he needed the second type of dark substance cores to strengthen his body in preparation for breaking through to the Dark Energy level!

Wang Ye killed thunder-fusion dark beasts and obtained the dark substance cores.

He was very efficient.

He knew that time was tight and he would soon see the second batch of cosmic nation warriors arrive.

At that time, the competition would be very intense!

However, he did not expect…

“So fast?” As he sped forward, Wang Ye sensed another aura.

He slowed down his pace and became cautious.

Wang Ye’s gaze fell on a white figure in the distance, which was rapidly approaching him. He was suddenly stunned.

The person who came had a jade-like face and an imposing appearance like a gentleman.

Wasn’t that… The poor, cowardly, and stubborn young man in white?

Why was he here?

Wang Ye was shocked.

The others might not know, but the white-robed young man…. He had entered passage 1!
