Chapter 722: Advanced Hunting
Yuanlai City.
It changed rapidly, thriving with vitality.
After Venerate Xuan officially took over, she displayed a completely different side.
Decisive and swift, she wielded power with determination!
Not only did she manage the entire Azure Cloud Realm, but also, at the behest of Fairy Qing Yao, she gradually handled the affairs of Primordial Star.
After the human-devil war, Primordial Star was extremely busy, both internally and externally.
In her high position, Venerate Xuan never had a momentâs rest.
âSenior Sister Xuan, the affiliated races of Yuanlai City are dissatisfied due to declining rightsâŠâ
âLet them find another place to settle.â
âVenerate Xuan, Jiutian Corp has appealed to the Human Sanctuary, hoping that Primordial Star can share Yuanlai Cityâs cultivation grounds for the benefit of the human cosmic.â
âTell them to leave.â
âSister Xuan, this is the list of elite disciples selected in Azure Cloud Realm. Please review it.â
âExpand the scope to include all disciples of Primordial Star. Each disciple should have an equal opportunity to choose.â
âŠ
Swoosh!
Venerate Xuan, amidst handling numerous affairs, suddenly stood up.
The leaders of Primordial Star were all taken aback.
Seeing Venerate Xuanâs shimmering eyes and fully unleashed aura, it was as if an iceberg had melted, radiating warmth.
âSenior Sister XuanâŠâ Naibai Master was about to speak.
Venerate Xuan cut him off. âI have urgent matters to attend to. Put everything on hold. If itâs urgent, consult City Lord Fate first.â
With that, she vanished in an instant.
Left behind, everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
What could be so important that Venerate Xuan had to set everything aside and personally handle it?
âŠ
Qingyun City, Little Wish Astral Realm.
Swoosh! Venerate Xuanâs figure appeared.
Starwish Master, Qi Qiqi, and Ning Moli were already waiting.
âSecond Senior Sister, youâre here!â Ning Moli exclaimed with joy, standing as graceful as a fairy, her long eyelashes captivating.
âLetâs go and rescue Junior Brother!â Qi Qiqiâs voice was coy, her movements brisk.
Rubbing his hands together, she looked ready to square off against the Sky race.
Fully equipped and brimming with battle spirit.
âWait here for updates,â Venerate Xuan instructed. âIâll handle this alone.â
Qi Qiqi and Ning Moli looked disappointed.
Especially Qi Qiqi, who managed to muster a pitiful expression.
Interlocking her fingers, she gazed pleadingly at Venerate Xuan.
âDonât worry.â Starwish Masterâs voice was soothing. âWhen the time comes, the Second Senior Sister will have to divide her attention to take care of you.â
âI understand.â Venerate Xuan nodded, then turned to Starwish Master. âDid Junior Brother say anything else?â
âNo.â Starwish Master shook her head. âHe didnât communicate privately with us. Only this.â
âI canât locate him through Soul Ensnaring Dreams,â Venerate Xuan explained. âIâm being disrupted by a powerful force.â
âSame here,â Starwish Master agreed. âThe abilities of the Sky race are beyond imagination.â
âNo wonder no one has ever escaped from the spacetime sky prison. Junior Brother might not only be unable to communicate with us but also restrained himself.â
âWhat should we do?â Starwish Master inquired.
âLetâs get started,â Venerate Xuan said. âBased on the information provided by Junior Brother earlier, the advanced hunting range should be one of the eight huge chaos realms of the cosmic beast race and the divine tree race.â
âShall we search the area?â Starwish Master asked.
Venerate Xuan nodded. âIâve already reached out to the cosmic beasts, and theyâve agreed. However, weâll have to forcefully enter the territory of the divine tree race.â
âI hope everything goes smoothly,â Starwish Master nodded.
âNo matter what, Iâll exert all my strength to save Junior Brother,â Venerate Xuan declared.
âCount me in,â Starwish Master affirmed. âThough the odds are slim, Iâll explore the other ordinary chaos domains to see if I can find anything.â
âAlright, letâs split up.â
âŠ
Where was he?
Wang Ye looked around, his expression turning serious.
Advanced hunting was somewhat different from what he had anticipated.
He had thought that everyone would be taken away by the Sky race together and sent to some location via a teleportation channel.
But that wasnât the case.
After being taken away by the white beam of light, it felt as though he had traversed time and space and landed directly here.
Star Shifting!
It was too fast!
So fast that he didnât even know what had happened.
âHigh-dimensional Space Heavenly DaoâŠâ Five words flashed in Wang Yeâs mind.
That was the strength of Spatial Control taken to the extreme.
The Sky race excelled in time and space manipulation.
SuddenlyâŠ
Swoosh! A figure clad in pure white appeared before him.
With four wings on his back, he was remarkably handsome.
An Eternal expert of the Sky race!
His aura remained tranquil, his face devoid of expression.
However, the spatial fluctuation just now demonstrated his prowess. He had already mastered the great path of space.
â3233,â the Sky raceâs four-winged expert spoke.
âCall me?â Wang Ye thought.
Wang Ye glanced at the golden number â3233â on his chest.
How impolite!
âMy name is Wang Ye,â he stated.
Pa!
The four-winged expertâs hand landed on the golden number as if activating a switch.
âThe phylactery has been opened,â Wang Ye frowned.
When did this thing appear on him?
âWas it already there when I was brought from the Primordial Star to the spacetime sky prison?â Wang Ye thought.
âAdvanced hunting will last for a hundred years,â the Sky raceâs four-winged expert said. âPut the captured prey into the life casket, and the profit will be calculated based on changes in your life digits.â
âAfter a hundred years, if your life digits exceed 10,000, youâll become a sixth-grade Outer Sky race.â
âIf it exceeds 100,000, youâll be promoted to a fifth-grade Outer Sky race.â
âBeyond 1 million, youâll ascend to a fourth-grade Outer Sky race.â
âWhat if it exceeds 10 million?â Wang Ye inquired.
âIt remains a fourth-grade Outer Sky race,â the Sky raceâs four-winged expert replied coldly.
Wang Ye nodded.
So, this was the path to becoming a third-grade Outer Sky race through advanced hunting.
Naturally, he wasnât asking casually.
Instead, he had to confirm the upper limit and, at the same time, figure out one thing.
The Sky wouldnât simply end their advanced hunt, regardless of the gains.
In essence, he had a hundred years to devise a way to leave.
âWhat do I want to capture?â Wang Ye asked.
âHigh-life prey,â the Sky raceâs four-winged expert responded.
âEven experts from other races?â Wang Ye chuckled.
âYes,â the Sky raceâs four-winged expert confirmed.
The Sky race was truly devoid of humanity.
While they were capturing prey, they had to be wary of being treated as preyâŠ
âCan I leave early?â Wang Ye inquired once more.
âCannot.â
âŠ
âCan I find you when Iâm in trouble?â Wang Ye asked again.
âCannot.â
âŠ
âYou may leave now,â the four-winged expert of the Sky race said coldly.
âAlright,â Wang Ye nodded.
He kept his lips tightly sealed, and couldnât pry any information from his mouth.
It would have been better if it were a Sky Race womanâŠ
âLet me remind you, donât even think about escaping,â the four-winged expert of the Sky race in a deep voice. âThe phylactery will monitor your every move.â
âThose attempting to escape will be killed without mercy!â
âDonât harbor any illusions.â
âIn the countless chaotic eras that have passed, not a single being from the Myriad races has ever succeeded.â
Swoosh! The four-winged expert of the Sky race vanished in an instant.
The chilling voice carried a stark warning.
Wang Ye pondered it carefully.
There was a wealth of information there.
Though the Sky race expert didnât divulge much, Wang Ye had gleaned a rough understanding.
First and foremost, he needed to ascertain his escape route from here.
Otherwise, the Sky race wouldnât have emphasized it once more.
Secondly, the difficulty would undoubtedly be insurmountable.
Indeed, he had never heard of any creature from the Myriad races successfully fleeing the spacetime sky prison.
Lastly, the phylactery on his body was pivotal.
As long as he wore it, escape was out of the question.
However, deliberate destruction of it could lead to charges of attempted escape.
Moreover, it seemed exceedingly resistant to damage.
Despite enduring hundreds of years in the ten thousand-year prison and countless battles, it had remained unscathed.
âPhew,â Wang Ye sighed.
It was somewhat troublesome.
Fortunately, he had a century to devise a plan.
Simultaneously, he wasnât alone in strategizing.
His senior and junior sisters were also pooling their thoughts and executing their plans.
âMy consciousness has been disruptedâŠâ Wang Ye attempted to contact Second Senior Sister through Soul Ensnaring Dream.
However, a vast magnetic field or strength seemed to sever the connection.
Was it because of the phylactery?
Or some other restriction?
Wang Ye shivered.
Meng Yangqing was right. The Sky race was definitely not benevolent.
The spacetime sky prison was rightfully one of the four great perils.
If he hadnât reacted quickly and mentioned something before the advanced hunt began, Second Senior Sister might not have even realized he had started.
âI canât sense them, and they probably canât sense me either.â
âBased on our previous discussion, Second Senior Sister should be systematically searching the huge chaos realm nowâŠâ
Wang Ye scanned the surroundings, looking up at the sky.
Origin energy was abundant, but the innate great path wasnât obvious.
The high-dimensional heavenly path was incomplete.
âBut the life force is abundantâŠâ Wang Ye carefully surveyed his surroundings.
This place felt somewhat like⊠a secret realm.
Innate great path and even high-dimensional heavenly path seemed to be concealed.
It wasnât clear if this was a natural occurrence or if the Sky race had intervened somehow.
Was this truly a huge chaos realm?
Even with Soul Ensnaring Dreams blocked, given the vastness of the huge chaos realmâŠ
Even if she knew his location, it would be challenging for Second Senior Sister to find him.
âLetâs scout the area first, assess the terrain and the life forms here,â Wang Ye organized his thoughts, preparing to take action.
âAdvanced hunts usually target cosmic beasts and divine trees. Youâll recognize them when you see them.â
Both were innate high-dimensional lifeforms with tremendous vitality.
Exploring this area first would provide more information!
He never believed in unsolvable situations.
Everything depended on oneâs efforts!
âŠ
Whoosh! Wang Ye moved swiftly.
Exploring the entire hunting ground with so much unknown required caution.
This place had a primitive and savage feel to it.
Various life forms abounded, and the life force surged like in the Azure Cloud Realm. Countless natural treasures were scattered about.
The Immortal Herb Spiritual Plant could be obtained as long as one recognized it.
Placing them in the phylactery would increase life points.
But the rewards werenât extravagant.
After all, compared to cosmic beasts and divine trees with vast life force, Immortal Herb Spiritual Plants were not known for their longevity but rather for their remarkable efficacy.
âA treasure of life would suffice,â Wang Ye had it.
However, to him, the life points in his phylactery were just numbers.
He didnât aspire to become an Outer Sky race, so what was the point of increasing them?
Even if the Sky race warned him a hundred thousand times, it wouldnât deter him.
He was determined to escape!
Even if offered a dozen Sky beauties, it wouldnât sway him!
âHmm?â Wang Yeâs eyes lit up suddenly as he sensed a powerful aura in the distance.
He found something!
Swoosh! Wang Ye accelerated suddenly!
Passing through the spatial shackles, Wang Yeâs vision suddenly expanded, and he was taken aback.
What?
