Chapter 399 - 263: The First Star Ring! Civilization Key (Double - )

"What’s wrong?" Chen Zilu turned her head to look at him.

"Bring your bracelet closer," Jiang Ye transmitted his voice to her, "I’ll give you the Fifth Tier opportunity."

Their storage bracelets were of the same type.

They could connect by touching, allowing for direct transmission, so that others wouldn’t notice.

"You want to give me that treasure?" Chen Zilu widened her beautiful eyes.

"I can’t absorb the Fifth Tier opportunity," Jiang Ye transmitted his voice.

It was the truth.

A Fifth Tier opportunity is usually for Fifth Break powerhouses, let alone a high-tier Fifth Tier opportunity, which is greatly beneficial to peak Fifth Break powerhouses.

For someone like Jiang Ye, rashly using such an opportunity could easily result in self-destruction.

Moreover, he might not be able to refine such high-tier spiritual energy.

Of course.

Most importantly, this treasure was more useful to Chen Zilu than to Jiang Ye.

"Senior sister, open your storage space and let me in," Jiang Ye transmitted his voice.

"Okay." Chen Zilu didn’t say much.

Jiang Ye reached out, and their bracelets touched.

"Buzz!" Along with a flash of light, that high-tier Fifth Tier opportunity slipped into Chen Zilu’s space bracelet.

"Thank you," Chen Zilu transmitted her voice.

"There’s no need for thanks between us," Jiang Ye smiled.

Chen Zilu didn’t reply.

Even without her saying, Jiang Ye could guess that she was probably secretly thinking about how to repay him.

Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile and transmitted, "We’ve reached the Star Realm Sea."

"Yes." Chen Zilu also noticed it.

Through the civilization corridor wall, they could see the outside, a chaotic space made up of countless ’star fragments.’

These fragments floated like islands, with various shapes... forming a three-layer structure around a massive palace that resembled a planet at the center.

"Is this the Star Realm Sea?" Zhou Hong, Fang Yi, and others also saw it.

Their expressions were incredibly shocked.

The scene before them was beyond their imagination.

"We’re almost at the exit," Jiang Ye said.

Ahead was the end of the civilization corridor.

A giant whirlpool appeared.

"Junior Jiang Ye, we might have to part ways," Liu Shishi called out to Jiang Ye.

Passing through that whirlpool, they would be transmitted to different areas based on their realms.

"I wish you all a safe journey."

"I hope the next time we meet," Jiang Ye smiled, "I’ll see that everyone has made a breakthrough."

"You too." Fang Yi, Liu Shishi, and the others nodded to him.

There was no unnecessary talk.

They each entered the whirlpool one after another, their figures disappearing from sight.

"Jiang Ye, be careful," Chen Zilu said seriously.

"Senior sister, you don’t need to worry about me," Jiang Ye smiled, "I’m at the Third Break stage, I fear no one."

"But you, you need to be more cautious." Jiang Ye looked at her.

"I will." Chen Zilu snorted, then suddenly said, "Give me your hand."

"?" Jiang Ye looked at her puzzled.

Chen Zilu rolled her eyes, grabbed his hand, and tied a black hair tie around his wrist.

"Senior sister, what’s this?" Jiang Ye looked puzzled.

"A promise," Chen Zilu said.

"Promise?"

"Wait for me to come back," Chen Zilu said, "I want to see you safe and sound, don’t lose it."

Jiang Ye looked at the black hair tie on his wrist, somewhat surprised.

After a few seconds.

"Okay." Jiang Ye mockingly cupped his hands in salute, "I will heed my senior sister’s teachings."

Chen Zilu rolled her eyes at him, already used to his unserious manner.

"Take care," Chen Zilu finally said.

"You too," Jiang Ye said.

Whoosh!

They entered the whirlpool together.

...

Blue Star, beside the entrance to the Star Realm Sea.

"Jiang Ye, that kid, actually managed to obtain three A Level opportunities in a row."

"Could he, perhaps, have some kind of danger detection ability?" Qian Feng, the principal of Celestial Gate University, was looking incredulously at the projection.

The means Jiang Ye displayed in the civilization corridor left even him extremely surprised.

"I don’t know about danger detection."

"But Jiang Ye seems to have shown a treasure-hunting ability," Qiu Cang hesitated, "That kind of ability is rare."

He remembered Jiang Ye’s performance on Ancient Star 7, further suspecting this possibility.

"Treasure-hunting ability?"

"It’s quite rare indeed," Bai Jing said, "Old man Zhou from the Zhou family has a similar ability."

"Such innate abilities don’t offer much combat advantage, but their effects can be extremely formidable."

"Especially when entering an opportunity land, this ability’s effect is rather astonishing," Bai Jing marveled.

The treasure-hunting ability might seem ordinary.

But in reality, it requires an extremely high affinity with the heavens and earth.

Most Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, opportunities, and the like, are hidden very deep, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so hard to find.

The higher the affinity with the heavens and earth, the easier it is to capture that hint of spiritual aura from them.

This places a high demand on innate talent.

Even the majority of extraordinary talents don’t possess such a treasure-hunting ability.

"Looking at Jiang Ye’s performance, it’s more than just treasure hunting, he can also detect danger," Qiu Cang marveled even more.

"Jiang Ye, that kid, really manages to surprise every time."

"Hmm?"

"They’ve already entered the Star Realm Sea," Qiu Cang’s expression shifted as he kept an eye on the projection.

Bai Jing and Qian Feng also focused attentively on the projection screen.

"The landing spots for Chen Zilu, Fang Yi, and the others are relatively safe."

"Hmm?" Qian Feng’s expression changed slightly, "Jiang Ye’s luck isn’t great; he encountered quite a few alien races just after landing."

"Unlucky? I don’t necessarily think so," Qiu Cang smiled, "I think he’s quite lucky."

Qian Feng looked at him confusedly.

...

A crimson land, with the wind howling.

Jiang Ye landed lightly, unlike the discomfort he experienced on Ancient Star 7.

"Where is this?" Jiang Ye looked around.

[You have entered the First Star Ring of the Star Realm Sea, Zone 015]

[Please find the ’Civilization Key’ scattered in Zone 015, and head towards the entrance of the Second Star Ring]

[Your remaining time: 29 days, 23 hours, 59 seconds...]

Subtitles appeared one by one.

"First Star Ring?"

"Civilization Key?" Jiang Ye showed a look of surprise.

None of this was mentioned during training.

"It’s a kind of screening method," Bai Gui’s voice sounded.

"Screening?" Jiang Ye was puzzled.

"From my observations, the Star Realm Sea is divided into three star rings," Bai Gui said, "After everyone is transmitted here, they will enter the First Star Ring area."

"The so-called Civilization Key is the key to entering the Second Star Ring."

"When you reach the Second Star Ring, you will likely encounter a similar situation, needing to find the key to the Third Star Ring," Bai Gui explained.

As a Third-level Civilization Inheritance Guardian Spirit, she knew more than Jiang Ye.

This kind of screening method was unheard of to Jiang Ye.

But to Bai Gui, it was not unusual.

"The regions covered by the three star rings contain different opportunities."

"The Third Star Ring surely holds the greatest benefits," Bai Gui said.

Jiang Ye nodded.

The Third Star Ring? That’s still some time away.

According to the subtitles, his current goal was to find the ’Civilization Key’ to reach the Second Star Ring within thirty days.

Otherwise, he would be eliminated?

"Looking at it that way, it does seem screening-like," Jiang Ye’s expression was peculiar.

"What is this Civilization Key?" Jiang Ye wondered, "How do I find it?"

"I’m not sure," Bai Gui said softly, "It’s likely hidden in some opportunity land, you’ll have to explore it yourself."

"Understood," Jiang Ye nodded.

Finding opportunities?

He’s very good at that!

As Jiang Ye pondered.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Not far away, a few figures emerged.

Dark-skinned.

Powerhouses of the Black Sink Civilization!

They, too, were transmitted into this area... all peak Third Break powerhouses.

"It’s that Blue Star person."

"Are we this lucky?" The Black Sink powerhouses were all stunned, then showed signs of wild joy.

Jiang Ye was alone.

In the previous civilization corridor, due to the rules, they dared not act.

But here? It was entirely different.

"Kill!"

"Kill him and seize the treasure."

"Kill!" Several Black Sink powerhouses erupted at the same moment, unleashing various lethal attacks toward Jiang Ye like a storm.

But the next second, what happened left all of them dumbfounded!
