Chapter 311: The Successor

It was useless to have said so earlier.

Wang Ye knew very well that the trump card had to be revealed at the critical moment to be effective.

Previously, when he had obtained the treasure and left the black realm, he had neither strength nor potential.

Even if he had the bloodline of Treasure Hunting, Wu Yuan would think that he was just lucky enough to get it.

Things were different now.

Killing a Super Star-level expert proved his strength.

His Energy Control Spell and Origin Core Spell had reached stage 4. Plus, he broke through to the Dark Energy level as an ability user. Both displayed his amazing talent.

His return to the black hole seemed like fate to Wu Yuan!

“We, the pirates, don’t accept disciples like the human factions do, and we don’t have any family inheritances. Instead, at our deaths, we will choose a successor and give some of our treasures, starships, and pirate group to the chosen one,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “Since you are a cosmic pirate, are you willing to join and inherit my Treasure Trove Pirates?”

“Only a fool wouldn’t want to inherit it…” Wang Ye muttered in his heart.

“My strength is meager. I’m afraid it’s difficult for me to take on this great responsibility,” Wang Ye said.

“My younger brother Wu Tan will help you. Back then, the two of us founded the Treasure Trove Pirates with the aim of becoming Cosmic Pirate Kings,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “Unfortunately, I was harmed by a traitor and died midway. My brother Wu Tan, on the other hand, was born intelligent. After thousands of years, the Treasure Trove Pirates should be at the peak of their powers under his leadership.”

Thousands of years?

A lot of things could happen between that.

Wang Ye calculated in his heart and calmly said, “It won’t be too late to inherit the Treasure Trove Pirates after I improve my strength and avenge my senior.”

“Thank you.” Wu Yuan’s afterimage was gratified. He found Wang Ye pleasing to the eye. “Revenge is not a matter of urgency. You came from a colony planet and have no background to rely on. It’s difficult for you to walk in the cosmic. Join the Treasure Trove Pirates and obtain my brother Wu Tan’s protection. Only then can you grow quickly.”

That might not be the case. Cosmic pirates were a high-risk occupation. The senior has been dead for thousands of years, and the outside world has already changed drastically.

Whether the Treasure Trove Pirates existed or not was another matter. Even if it did, Wu Tan may not find him pleasing to the eye!

After all, the other party was doing well as the leader. Who would be happy if a successor suddenly appeared?

“This is my keepsake. The other half is in the hands of Wu Tan. Once combined, you can open the treasure stored in the Cosmic Pirate King’s place. Inside is the accumulation of treasures my brother and I have collected over the years.” Wu Yuan’s afterimage flashed with white lightning and suddenly, a huge bronze key was thrown over.

Wang Ye reached out to take it. It was heavy. There were faint mystical engravings on it, as well as the half-complete symbol of the Cosmic Pirate King.

“A wisp of my will is stored in the key. It can only be opened when you reach the Black Hole level,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said.

Good heavens, such a round pie.

“My aptitude is mediocre. I’m afraid I won’t be able to break through to the Black Hole level in my lifetime,” Wang Ye said.

Wu Yuan’s afterimage laughed. “You want to get some benefits from me right away, don’t you?”

What else? Wait till he reached the Black Hole level? At that point, his child would even know how to run errands, alright?

“Senior, please help me.” Wang Ye was very honest.

He understood Wu Yuan’s personality.

Although he was chosen to be the successor, the other party’s pirate personality was engraved in his bones. He would always come after.

It was normal. It was already not bad that someone was willing to help him.

“I’m afraid I can’t help your progress as an ability user with my capabilities,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “At first, I was ambitious. With a treasure like the Whitewheel Oblivion Armor, I wanted to fuse the three great paths. However, I encountered a bottleneck after that. Even at the Black Hole level, I couldn’t completely fuse with the Whitewheel Oblivion Armor. My talent as an ability user was not enough to support the path. In the end, I could only use my black realm as the source to merge with the white realm. The effect was thus greatly reduced.”

“Are you finally willing to admit your weakness?” Wang Ye complained in his heart.

“I’m weakest in the path of time,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “Although I have collected treasures of this path, I sold them very quickly.”

Since he couldn’t use them, he sold them. There was nothing wrong with it.

“However, I can help you with the path of space and physical body. I don’t want you to criticize me in your heart for being an elder who only talks and does nothing,” said Wu Yuan’s afterimage.

He knew that too?

“I wouldn’t dare,” Wang Ye said respectfully.

It was here. The benefits had finally arrived!

“Swoosh!

Suddenly, a transparent saber appeared in Wu Yuan’s hand. Mystical engravings swirled on it, filled with mysterious power.

“The Space-lock Saber,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “It contains the spatial sub-origin. It is a combination of attack, control, and cultivation. This is the last treasure in passage 8. Take it.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Wang Ye accepted it without hesitation.

There were only two treasures in passage 8, and one of them had obviously been taken away.

“There’s still one treasure left in passage 9. However, since you already have the Whitewheel Oblivion Armor, the effects of the treasures will overlap,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said.

Passage 9 was a path that fused space and lightning.

The treasure that Senior Wu Yuan mentioned should have a different origin of thunder, which was why their effects overlapped.

“The most suitable treasure for you is actually in passage 6.” Wu Yuan’s afterimage condensed a mystical item that looked like a flower bud in his hand. The tightly shut red flower bud emitted a sweet fragrance that contained pure energy.

Wang Ye’s heart moved.

Passage 6 was a path of pure physical strength.

“Flower of Goddess Luo,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “It needs to be harvested and scaled before it blooms. Only then can the essence of the Goddess Luo be locked in it. It’s not very useful to the innately perfect cosmic humans, but to you, an imperfect cosmic human who came from a colony planet, its mending effects are great. It will allow you to transform!”

“After absorbing the essence of the Flower of Goddess Luo, your genes and body conditions will almost be the same as a perfect cosmic human. If you want to walk the path of a warrior and train your body, this is definitely the most suitable treasure for you at this stage.”

“Thank you, Senior!” Wang Ye was overjoyed.

Back in the Martial Extreme Dojo, the martial instructor had pointed out the problem with his innate genes.

After that, he absorbed the dark substance origin in the black realm and improved a lot. In particular, his physical body foundation had been greatly improved, allowing him to cross the threshold of Dark Energy level.

However, this was only at the Dark Energy level.

If he wanted to continue walking the path of the physical body at the Super Star level and the Black Hole level, the foundation of his physical body and imperfect innate genes were still a great problem.

A great harvest!

Wang Ye took the Flower of Goddess Luo and held the Space-lock Saber. He looked up at Wu Yuan’s afterimage.

Was there more?

“The other treasures might not be of much use to you, or they might not be suitable for you. A person’s energy is limited,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “Spending too much time and effort on treasures will affect one’s cultivation.”

To be honest, he still wanted to spread his investments, right?

Wang Ye knew Wu Yuan too well. However, it was already a huge profit for him to be able to obtain two more treasures.

“As for the strongest treasure in my black realm… You still can’t control it,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “Come back and try again when you break through the Super Star level.”

“The one in passage 10?” Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.

Wu Yuan nodded. “Yes. Your physical strength, spatial attainments, and cultivation of the great path of thunder are far from the requirements.”

“Understood.” Wang Ye nodded.

“Cultivate well. When you break through to the Super Star level, I’ll prepare a big gift for you,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said kindly.

Big gift?

From the sound of it, it didn’t seem to be the super treasure from Passage 10.

“Senior, do you still have a stash?” Wang Ye was also stunned.

How many treasures had Wu Yuan dug up over the years?

The ones with the Cosmic Pirate King were official. On the surface, he also had a lot of scattered treasures in the black realm. Yet in the end, he still had a secret stash?

Was the bloodline of Treasure Hunting that powerful?

Could it be that he had dug out other people’s hidden money?

“Hahahaha!” Wu Yuan’s afterimage laughed heartily. He seemed to be very pleased with Wang Ye’s surprise. “The treasures in the black realm are just some rewards to attract people to work for me. They’re nothing. Even if you add them all up, they still can’t compare to the big gift I’ll give you in the future.”

Wu Yuan’s afterimage flashed. “Of course, my most valuable treasure is hidden in the treasure vault that can be opened by the half key in your hand. Its value is hard to estimate! Although it’s only a part of it, it’s a treasure that even Undying-level experts would fight for!”

Wang Ye’s heart was beating fast.

Good God! The other party was good at this. Even a professional like him was moved!

Wu Yuan’s afterimage sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Wang Ye asked.

“People die for wealth. Too many treasures may not be a good thing,” Wu Yuan said. “If I hadn’t gone deep into the center of the Milky Way for another part of this supreme treasure, I wouldn’t have died.”

Wang Ye was stunned.

Hidden in the center of the Milky Way was a component of a supreme treasure?

But what was most shocking was that Senior Wu Yuan already had a component of the same value!

“Is that supreme treasure still in the center of the Milky Way?” Wang Ye asked.

“I don’t know,” Wu Yuan’s afterimage said. “Back then, I was betrayed and involved in the war. I died before I even saw the treasure. Now that I think about it… Sigh.”

Regret!

Wang Ye spoke for Wu Yuan.

The other party’s journey had been too smooth sailing. He had obtained many treasures through the bloodline of Treasure Hunting, many of which had far exceeded his strength. How could one not wet their shoes if they often walked by the river?

In the cosmic, countless experts die in the fight for treasures every day.

“Senior, don’t worry. If I succeed, I will definitely settle this grudge for you.” Wang Ye was sincere this time.

He would remember the kindness he received.

After receiving so many gifts from Senior Wu Yuan, it would be too much if he was not even willing to avenge the other party.

“Alright.” Wu Yuan smiled. He seemed to have experienced a lot and was helpless. “Don’t force yourself. Wait until you break through to the Black Hole level. As for the bloodline of Treasure Hunting, I’m sure you’ll be wary after my experience. Don’t try to snatch an opportunity that doesn’t belong to you. If you lose your life, it’s useless no matter how many treasures you have.”

“Understood,” Wang Ye replied.

However, he did not agree. If the opportunity was right in front of him, he would try his best to get it, just like this time.

Didn’t he also obtain an opportunity that didn’t belong to him?

A forced melon was not sweet, but it could quench one’s thirst!

“Right, Senior, I want to ask about someone.” Wang Ye looked at Senior Wu Yuan and his heart tightened.

“The colony planet human who came with you?” Wu Yuan said.

“Yes.” Wang Ye’s gaze was sharp..
