Chapter 226 - 226: Isn’t This What Cosmic Pirates Do?
“We’ve finally left Xiapu Planet.” Wang Ye looked at the scenery outside the starship. After passing through the artificial wormhole, Xiapu Planet quickly disappeared without a trace.
This was the first time he had truly come into contact with the human world of the cosmic, and the shock it brought him was something he had never experienced before.
It was huge.
Be it the cosmic nations, starfield empires, eternal nations, the 7 supreme human factions, or the 18 top factions, they all made him feel insignificant.
However, it was precisely because of this that he had the motivation to fight for endless opportunities.
“I can finally relax. Although the upper realm forbids fighting, staying in the enemy’s territory is still very scary,” Nante mumbled as he lay on the bed.
“You’re so tall for nothing. You’re as timid as a mouse.” Lingling sneered.
“You’re so bold that you don’t have any height at all.” Nante retorted.
The pair of clowns bickered, and it was quite lively.
Wang Ye ignored them and fiddled with the Starry Sky Bracelet in his hand.
It was a product from Starry Sky Communications.
The device looked like a mobile phone with a flickering projection. Other than enabling long-distance communication, it had many other functions like searching, radar, maps, and so on.
“Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?” Lingling poked her head out and asked curiously as she rebuked Nante.
“The Hurricane Pirates are very familiar with the Ancient Battlefield Milky Way. They just passed through an unrecorded natural wormhole,” Wang Ye said. “They’ve traveled 750 light-years through a medium-distance space warp.”
“They must have bought a map at Xiapu Planet,” Nante said.
Wang Ye smiled. “1 think Yu Min got the map from another special channel.”
“The big ship?” Lingling reacted quickly.
Wang Ye shook his head. “Exploring the Ancient Battlefield Milky Way might not attract the three-star pirates. The greatest wealth in the Milky Way is the life planet, but the Human Sanctuary has a rule that ownerless life planets must be ruled by cosmic nations. It’s useless for them to take it.”
“It should be her brother or sister.” Lingling was deep in thought.
“Yes, they might have already gone very deep. We’ve saved a lot of energy by boarding the starship this time,” Wang Ye said with a smile.
The wormhole was the key to exploration.
Discovering a natural wormhole and performing a medium-distance cosmic warp enabled one to travel between 100 to 1,000 light years.
It was much faster than a cosmic warp starship that could fly at light speed.
“After the war, many artificial wormholes were destroyed,” Lingling said.
“That’s right. This is a competition about one’s level of information. Whoever knows where the natural wormholes are will have the advantage. They will be able to enter the Ancient Battlefield Milky Way faster and occupy an advantageous position first,” Wang Ye said.
“Oh right, why is it called the Ancient Battlefield Milky Way? Has there been a war there? When did it happen?” Nante asked curiously. “Who fought who? Is there anything special about it?”
“How would I know so much?” Wang Ye rolled his eyes at him. “I’ve just entered the cosmic. I’ll ask Yu Min when I have the chance. She should know some insider information.”
“Oh, you’re going to pick up girls. You finally got a chance.” Nante raised his eyebrows.
“Get lost.”
After asking Tutu Jie to arrange rooms for Lingling and Nante, Wang Ye started cultivating.
With 7.09 million potential points, he had the capital to squander again.
First, upgrade the Primeval Universe Evolution Technique!
He had already tried to cultivate it before. The cultivation speed of the stage 1 Primeval Universe Evolution Technique had already exceeded that of four-star energy crystals.
Stage 2 would naturally be far superior.
Relying on the evolution technique to increase his strength level was the right way!
As 1,000,000 potential points were consumed, Wang Ye instantly entered the space of consciousness.
The familiar feeling appeared again.
The blue Primeval Star emitted light and tremendous energy, bringing him into the visualization. It was very compatible and warm.
He didn’t need to comprehend it himself at all. After a thousand times of time, he quickly mastered it.
[Primeval Universe Evolution Technique, stage 1 -> stage 2.]
A huge amount of energy entered his body. His psyche instantly expanded and shook violently. With layers of ripples, the boundary seemed to not exist. It was instantly washed away by the tide-like energy.
The star core shone brightly!
Wang Ye’s level as an ability user increased.
[Level 4 cosmic ability user —* Level 5 cosmic ability user.]
He absorbed the unlimited energy continuously.
The speed at which his strength increased was like the speed of light.
Wang Ye opened his interface.
Level 3 cosmic warrior, 32%. Level 5 cosmic ability user, 91%.
His cultivation progress as an ability user was starting to be far ahead of his cultivation progress as a cosmic warrior.
His ability user potential was much higher, to begin with. After comprehending the Primeval Universe Evolution Technique, it completely crushed his potential as a cosmic warrior.
Was he going to walk the path of an ability user in the future?
Wang Ye didn’t ponder much about it. He was only at the cosmic level, after all.
He wasn’t in a rush to make a decision.
He would take things one step at a time.
His consciousness fell to the “+” again.
[Do you want to spend 10,000,000 Potential Points to upgrade the Primeval Universe Evolution Technique?]
Wang Ye was stunned.
To level up from stage 1 to stage 2 was 1 million potential points, but the amount increased ten times just from stage 2 to stage 3?
His talent, Resurrection, had only required 10 million potential points to upgrade!
“This is too strong…” Wang Ye was shocked.
He had never seen an evolution technique so awesome. To think the potential points increment was ten times for each stage. How heaven-defying was its cultivation efficiency?
Let’s give it a try!
Wang Ye quickly entered a state of cultivation.
As he felt the boundless energy, the absorption efficiency of his body and psyche had doubled after his transformation.
“Incredible.” Wang Ye knew that he had made a great gain as soon as he started cultivating.
The cultivation efficiency of the stage 2 Primeval Universe Evolution Technique far exceeded that of stage 1.
They were on completely different levels.
Even if he absorbed six-star energy crystals, he probably wouldn’t have such an efficiency.
This was his first time cultivating with the evolution technique, and his cultivation progress as an ability user had already begun to soar.
92%.
93%.
94%.
In less than a cosmic day, he had broken through to cosmic level 5!
“This efficiency is simply awesome. Even as a level 5 cosmic ability user, I can increase my strength by more than 10% in one cosmic day!” Wang Ye continued to cultivate in amazement.
Ten cosmic days later.
Level 4 cosmic warrior, 1%. Level 6 cosmic ability user, 50%.
Great improvement!
“The Primeval Universe Evolution Technique is mainly used to increase the strength of ability users, but the training efficiency of warriors is not bad either. My improvement as a warrior can’t be compared to my improvement as an ability user, but it’s still much stronger than the stage 5 New Star Evolution Technique.” Wang Ye sighed in amazement.
He was approaching the second threshold as a cosmic ability user, which was when one advanced from a medium-grade to a high-grade Cosmic Lifeform.
However, his current cultivation speed was still maintained at around 4-5% per cosmic day. In about a dozen cosmic days, he would become an advanced cosmic ability user.
It was too fast!
It far exceeded the evolution techniques of the same level.
Standard cosmic evolution techniques would require at least stage 8 comprehension to have such efficiency.
However, the Primeval Universe Evolution Technique was only at stage 2.
Just as Wang Ye was going to continue cultivating, the starship’s horn suddenly started blaring.
Wang Ye was dumbfounded.
What did this mean? To gather?
“Knock, knock, knock!”
“Open the door! Wang Ye!”
Nante’s urgent voice sounded from outside the cabin door.
Wang Ye quickly opened it. His gaze swept across the cosmic pirates who were in a hurry outside. He then looked at Nante. “What happened? Did we run into cosmic adventurers?”
No! Tutu Jie informed me that they’re preparing to start the robbery!” Nante said immediately.
Rob?
Rob who?
Commoners?
Wang Ye suddenly came to his senses.
Oh, right! Isn’t this what the cosmic pirates do?
But this was his first time… and he was not mentally prepared.

Xiapu Planet Artificial Wormhole No.11.
A luxurious cosmic warp starship was monitoring the nuclear-powered starships that were coming and going through the artificial wormhole.
The third team of the Munro Guards.
“Whoosh.” The door to the main control room opened.
“Captain.” Munro Mengju, who was staring at the big screen with full attention, turned around and bowed respectfully. “Captain.”
“No clues yet?” Munro Ruiwen was wearing a gorgeous battle suit. He was elegant and had an imposing appearance. He had the aura of a general as he talked and laughed.
Munro Mengju shook his head. “Wang Ye may have gone into hiding.”
No, he won’t hide. A meticulous enemy like him will definitely think of a way to escape from his cage no matter how bad the situation is.” Munro’s eyes were sharp. “To hide? It’s not his style.”
“But it’s been so long, and there’s no clue at all.” Munro’s brows furrowed deeply.
“The results of our application to Jiutian Heavy Industry Company are out.”
Munro Ruiwen walked to the main control room and looked at the data on the
screen.
“This is too slow.” Munro Mengju wanted to curse.
“It’s already good enough that the application has a result.” Munro Ruiwen opened the data and looked at them carefully. “Jiutian Heavy Industry Company’s serial numbers show that all three starships of the Munro Guards have been destroyed.”
Munro Mengju’s eyes widened. “What do you mean? Doesn’t Wang Ye want to leave?”
“He must have thought of another way. With his and the chief engineers’ abilities, it’s impossible for them to modify the starships and remove the hidden serial numbers of Jiutian Heavy Industry Company,” Munro Ruiwen said. “Either he bought a new starship or he left the outer nebula of Colony System 996 in another starship.”
Pa!
Munro Reiwen found the historical data.
He retrieved the video. Above it was the Hurricane Pirates’ starship.
“The time displayed is 20 cosmic days ago. Why did you let them leave?” Munro Ruiwen’s gaze was sharp as he looked at Munro Mengju.
“This is a two-star pirate group.” Munro Mengju was a little hesitant and fearful. “Their attitude is very unyielding. In addition, we don’t have any information. I didn’t want to fall out with them… Captain, Wang Ye isn’t in there, is he?”
“The possibility is very high. From their movement trajectory, it’s very likely that this cosmic pirate’s starship left from the outer nebula of Colony System 996. The timing is also very consistent.” Munro Ruiwen pondered and said in a deep voice. “Excluding other options, unless Wang Ye hides in the nebula, there’s a high chance that he’ll blend into cosmic pirates.”
“Then what should we do?” Munro Mengju was a little dazed.
“I’ll get Lord Xingqiu to check the whereabouts of this cosmic ship later. Fortunately, the surrounding area is the Chimeng family’s territory. 1 believe they shouldn’t have gone far,” Munro Ruiwen said.
“Damn it, Wang Ye is too cunning!” Munro Mengju gritted his teeth.
“Why would Munro Uttina fall at his hands otherwise?” Munro Ruiwen patted Munro Mengju’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. He won’t be able to escape from me. Inform Moulao to prepare to set off!”
“Yes, captain!”
