BXBX NOVEL Chapter 914: Do an Experiment!
"Low-grade ancient gem treasure..."
Wang Ye tossed it aside.
He already had too many low-grade ancient gem treasures.
Quality over quantity.
He meticulously searched through all of Brunel's belongings.
Although it was extensive and had everything.
Various treasures, tokens of the Sky race, and natural treasures.
But it seemed he didn't find the 'clue' he was looking for.
Even though he wasn't sure what he was searching for.
"Could it be with the other eight-winged Venerates?" Wang Ye immediately dismissed the idea.
From his observations, the Fuyi King Corps followed Brunel's lead and acted together.
If there was critical information and treasure, it must be with Brunel.
But if not... Wang Ye pursed his lips, deep in thought.
Firstly, he was sure of one thing. The Fuyi King Corps had gained something!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have retreated home after a minor setback with a full formation.
If that was the case, their resolve was too fragile.
But what did they gain?
"Could it be hidden in the Brightmoon Highlands?" The thought crossed Wang Ye's mind.
From his observations and findings, the Brightmoon Highlands were undoubtedly the prime suspect.
But if they found any crucial treasure or clue hidden in the Brightmoon Highlands, the core area of the second realm...
It didn't quite add up.
Unless the Fuyi King Corps had received other reliable information.
"I have to ask." Wang Ye swiftly changed back to his Sky race form.
His consciousness entered the King Corps' emblem and contacted Xiao Pi.
"Brother Pi, do you have any discoveries?" Wang Ye inquired.
"I found something big! Good thing I heeded your advice and fled when the time wasn't right, or I might have been buried with them!" Piyebo's voice echoed.
"What happened?" Wang Ye was taken aback.
"Guess what? The entire Fuyi King Corps was wiped out!" Piyebo revealed.
"No way?" Wang Ye was astonished.
"They were unlucky, targeted by the Dark race's supreme. They couldn't escape even if they tried!" Piyebo exclaimed. "But they must have had a hunch, or they wouldn't have hastily retreated."
"But I heard the other teams from the Hidden Ancestral Realm made a discovery," Wang Ye said.
"Impossible!" Piyebo blurted out. "Where did you get that from? I just contacted the other Dark race encampments... Hmm, there's indeed something unusual in Area 3."
"What's unusual?" Wang Ye asked.
Did his speculation hit the mark?
"The two supremes are at each other's throats!" Piyebo suddenly realized. "Didn't you know this already?"
"I'm not entirely sure," Wang Ye remained composed. "I only have a rough idea. Your intel is more detailed."
"Of course," Piyebo affirmed. "Wow, so Area 3 is the target destination. The Hidden Ancestral Realm is something, even the Supreme has penetrated deep inside!"
"How's the situation now?" Wang Ye queried.
"Chaotic," Piyebo replied. "I can't explain it. I came to find you anyway, no need to stick with the Fuyi King Corps."
"Alright." Wang Ye decided. "I'm at Brightmoon Highlands. Come over."
Piyebo hesitated. "It's quite far, I'll have to go back. Maybe another time."
"Be careful then. The life energy cover I put on you is running low," Wang Ye warned.
"Alright, I'll come find you." Piyebo relented.
"Don't worry. I'm just concerned for your safety."
"When we're together, at least we can watch each other's backs." Wang Ye smiled.
...
Wang Ye rode towards the Brightmoon Highland.
In the second realm, the conflict between the Sky race and the Dark race had intensified,
The four encampment areas were overseen by the Nine Calamity Star.
On the Nil Emperor Realm's side, with the defeat of the Fuyi King Corps, it was over.
The remaining scattered Sky race soldiers were ineffective.
As for the other three encampments...
He couldn't enter.
Because they were under the jurisdiction of the Nine Calamity Star's three great Emperor Realms.
The Sky race side should also have clear objectives.
And now with the two Supremes battling it out, it was estimated that by the time he arrived, it would be nearly over.
Therefore, he now had to reconsider his original goal...
To leave the Dark race's territory.
The first option was to use his merits to travel to the Natural Star.
With his current achievements, he had more than enough.
But he was unfamiliar with life on the Natural Star.
After entering the Natural Star, he would need to leave the Dark race's territory again and then return to the human territories.
It would be a roundabout and laborious journey with many unknowns.
It could be considered as a last resort.
But now, there was a better solution.
He wanted to return to the Ancestral Star with Xiao Pi.
Then, Wang Ye had to use the teleportation array through the Spacetime Star to return to the Primordial Star.
It could save time and effort.
Moreover, it had been a long time since he'd seen his enthusiastic Sky race girlfriends.
But before that, he wanted to return to the Brightmoon Highland to take another look.
Last time was just a cursory search, but this time...
He had to search thoroughly!
...
Brightmoon Highland.
When Wang Ye arrived, Venerate Hang was still diligently excavating the mountain.
He had a lot of energy!
"How did these high-dimensional races think?" Wang Ye thought.
When the Sky race went to the Self-Improving Alliance Realm, they also searched thoroughly, while the Dark race continued digging away.
Did none of them like using their brains?
But Venerate Hang was genuinely sincere.
"Have you found anything?" Wang Ye asked.
"Do I look like I've found something?" Venerate Hang stopped and chuckled. "So, how about it? I hear you've accomplished something major?"
"You're well-informed," Wang Ye replied, observing him.
Venerate Hang burst into laughter. "Supreme Yi Xiu explicitly praised you. Now all the Venerates in these territories know about you."
"He's quite something." Wang Ye chuckled in response.
Venerate Hang continued, "He has intentions. He wants to recruit you to the Quasi-Emperor territory. Quasi-Emperor Yijin is eager for talent and is very interested in a super genius like you."
"I'm not interested," Wang Ye stated bluntly.
Serving under the strongest in the Dark race?
His cover had already been blown.
"Quasi-Emperor Yijin's power is strong, but she's too abnormal, perhaps due to some mutation. Her yin and yang are out of balance, and she has an unusually ruthless and soft character. She enjoys using the whip the most. The Supremes and Venerates under her have all suffered greatly," Venerate Hang explained.
Wang Ye was left speechless.
He would have to let her meet Tian Yumo another day.
After chatting with Venerate Hang for a while,
He had already turned the entire Brightmoon Highland upside down.
He had searched through it dozens of times.
It saved him a lot of effort.
After all, on the surface, there seemed to be no clues at all.
But if it was hidden within, it would be quite challenging to uncover.
"Could it be hidden in the Space Dimension, the spacetime secret realm?" Wang Ye frowned.
If the Fuyi King Corps truly hid something in the Brightmoon Highland, he wouldn't even know what it was.
It was too difficult to find it.
"However, the changes here are indeed too significant." Venerate Hang sighed. "I visited here when I was young, and there were many barbarian beasts back then. Now, I can't see a single one."
"They are almost hunted to extinction," Wang Ye remarked. "If it weren't for the Dark race's ban, barbarian beasts in the second realm would have vanished long ago."
Having spent so much time in the second realm, Wang Ye had only encountered one, and it was already dead.
"Hmm?" Wang Ye looked at Venerate Hang. "Why are you suddenly mentioning barbarian beasts?"
Venerate Hang looked at Wang Ye in surprise. "Because this is the Brightmoon Highland."
Wang Ye seemed to catch onto something and continued, "What's the connection between the Brightmoon Highland and barbarian beasts?"
Venerate Hang chuckled. "Eternal Lord, your knowledge is lacking."
"My knowledge isn't enough? Have you ever gone through the three social science subjects of the Primordial Star?" Wang Ye pondered.
Venerate Hang explained, "The Brightmoon Highland is situated very high and close to the core, surrounded by chaos energy and abundant innate energy. In the predecessor to the second realm, the Chiyou Star, it was the region most likely to birth barbarian beasts."
Wang Ye suddenly understood. Now, as a dead star, there was nothing left.
However, this place was indeed very close to the core.
They continued their conversation. Wang Ye gained much insight into the Dark race and the Strength race due to Venerate Hang's advanced age and knowledge.
He knew more information. For example...
"Mutations give rise to unique Dark race members?" Wang Ye asked.
"Yes, the probability is very low," Venerate Hang replied. "Less than one in a hundred million, and those born are usually of the same sex, unable to reproduce. It's no surprise you haven't seen them."
"So, you mentioned Quasi-Emperor Yijin..." Wang Ye asked.
Venerable Hang nodded. "She's a unique dual-female variant of the Dark race, unconventional and highly specialized in the heavenly path of energy. She rigidly pursues the path of nine calamities, refining her soul to the extreme. She's quite formidable!"
Wang Ye's eyes brightened. After searching for so long, he had finally found a Dark race member suitable for him.
"Tell me more." Wang Ye urged.
"But I thought you weren't interested?" Venerate Hang was puzzled.
"This is my enemy," Wang Ye replied seriously. "Knowing them well is crucial to winning battles."
"Oh."
...
After their conversation, Wang Ye parted ways with Venerate Hang.
After all, Xiao Pi would be arriving soon, and it would be interesting if they met.
"Barbarian beasts..." Wang Ye retrieved the barbarian beast's corpse from his internal cosmic.
Examining the violently torn wounds and the missing Barbarian Heart, Wang Ye had initially suspected the Spiritual Race was responsible.
However, he hadn't dwelled on it much afterward. After all, the barbarian heart was of great significance to the Dark race.
Although hunting them was prohibited, there were always sneaky Dark race members taking advantage of Sky race missions to deceive and infiltrate.
It was certainly not himself.
But according to Venerate Hang, the Brightmoon Highland was the birthplace of barbarian beasts...
There seemed to be an inexplicable connection between the two.
"If that's the case..." A bold idea suddenly struck Wang Ye.
He would try it out!
...
Seven days later, Wang Ye returned to the Brightmoon Highland with a fresh barbarian beast's corpse.
Though rare, they weren't nonexistent. Wang Ye had eyes in both the Sky and Dark races, making finding a barbarian beast much easier than finding clues.
"Keep Xiao Pi away for a while," Wang Ye instructed Venerate Hang, revealing Xiao Pi's whereabouts. He also suppressed the life force aura enveloping his body.
It was time for two old comrades who hadn't seen each other in a long time to reunite.
Now, all that remained was what Wang Ye intended to do next. He wanted to conduct an experiment on the barbarian beast.
"Success or failure hinges on this move," Wang Ye murmured, his eyes focused and determined.
