435: Heading to the Silver Sea

Witnessing Star Swallower take Titan away from the Yuan Ling Universe's fortified base with just one teleportation, True Person Yuan Ling slowly withdrew his gaze, which was filled with concern.

That feeling was like seeing off one's own flesh and blood on a journey to study in a foreign land; his heart overflowed with a sense of gratification.

At this moment, Xun Xiuyuan walked up to True Person Yuan Ling and carefully presented the mysterious Divine Ability gifted by Star Swallower to him.

True Person Yuan Ling took the Divine Ability, his brow furrowing slightly as he asked in confusion, "Giving this to me? With my current strength, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to unleash its power."

Hearing this, Xun Xiuyuan was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded gently, seemingly having already considered it.

"I have left a powerful Clone in the base. This Divine Ability will be placed with the Clone for the time being, just in case."

Just then, Jiu You's unique voice suddenly broke into the conversation, carrying a hint of curiosity and inquiry: "Kid, what are your plans next? Where do you intend to go?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Xun Xiuyuan's lips, his tone full of disdain and confidence: "The Phantom Poison Universe has already surrendered. Isn't the Silver Sea Universe still holding out? There's no need to mobilize everyone for this; I alone am enough."

Everyone present had a profound understanding of Xun Xiuyuan's strength.

With his cultivation and methods, heading to the Silver Sea Universe alone could be said to be almost entirely without danger.

However, True Person Yuan Ling still felt some confusion: with Xun Xiuyuan's current strength, he should be in secluded cultivation or seeking an Opportunity to purchase a cosmic core for Fusion, hoping to take his cultivation to the next level.

Why did he choose to go to the Silver Sea Universe at this particular juncture?

"Will this trip delay your own cultivation?"

True Person Yuan Ling couldn't help but ask, "After all, the Cosmic Alliance's retaliation is like a sword hanging over our heads, and we don't know when it will fall. Although we were fortunate enough to join the Giant Beast Alliance, just how much deterrence it can bring is still an unknown factor."

Facing True Person Yuan Ling's question, Xun Xiuyuan did not directly respond to the issue regarding his own cultivation. Instead, he said firmly, "In any case, as a neighbor of the Yuan Ling Universe, the issue with the Silver Sea Universe must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is very likely to become a springboard for others to step into the Yuan Ling Universe, leading to endless trouble."

What Xun Xiuyuan said was true. Because the Yuan Ling Universe had not joined the Cosmic Alliance, the farthest Teleportation Array connected to it was the one leading to the Silver Sea Secret Realm.

The Silver Sea Universe was very different; it had established Teleportation Array connections in all directions with many other Universes.

Some of these Teleportation Arrays were located within the Silver Sea Universe's base, while others were scattered throughout the vast Void Realm.

It was by using such Teleportation Arrays that Bai Lang and Kong Ling were able to reach the Silver Sea Universe with lightning speed.

As for that Cosmic Alliance envoy who unfortunately perished at Xun Xiuyuan's hands, if he hadn't been burdened with other important tasks, he likely would have descended directly upon the Silver Sea Universe through these Teleportation Arrays.

After hearing Xun Xiuyuan's analysis, True Person Yuan Ling said no more, only nodding gently to show his approval and support for Xun Xiuyuan's decision.

Xun Xiuyuan's motivation was primarily the exotic beast value. Of course, destroying those Teleportation Arrays was also necessary, as it could greatly delay the arrival of Cosmic Alliance personnel.

While Star Swallower was present, the Cosmic Alliance would not invade the Yuan Ling Universe.

But since Star Swallower had been forced back to the Giant Beast Alliance by Bai Guang's 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' ruse,

then the Cosmic Alliance would not pass up such an Opportunity and would certainly take action against the Yuan Ling Universe.

Last time, even for a mere probe, they sent a Guiyi Realm expert. So this time, to ensure a quick resolution, more Guiyi Realm experts would definitely appear.

Therefore, the moment Star Swallower left, Xun Xiuyuan thought of going to the Silver Sea Universe to farm exotic beast value.

After all, since they were a hostile force, farming exotic beast value came with no psychological burden.

Greeting everyone, he split off a Clone to preside over the Artifact Spirit Hall and intended to disappear with a teleportation.

Seeing this, True Person Yuan Ling said in a deep voice, "When I was traveling in the past, there was a black market for secret trading where some rare resources would appear. I want to go there and take a look."

Jiu You was stunned. Although he had also traveled the outside world, he couldn't compare to True Person Yuan Ling.

"Rare resources? What kind?"

True Person Yuan Ling looked at Jiu You as if he were a fool: "cosmic cores with rare attributes. I'll go try my luck. My Law of the Soul has undergone long-term tempering in that Immortal Cave and is about to reach a Breakthrough. If there is a Soul-system cosmic core, then I will very likely advance to an Eight-System Saint King in the short term, and the security of the Yuan Ling Universe would be much higher."

From Star Swallower's words, everyone already knew.

There are no more than thirty Hongmeng Realm Experts in the entire Cosmic Battlefield.

Therefore, in the Cosmic Battlefield, battles at the Hongmeng Realm level rarely occur because battles of this caliber cause too much damage to the Universes themselves.

Everyone tries their best to avoid them; even if there are conflicts, the highest combat power that appears is at the Guiyi Realm.

So, True Person Yuan Ling's claim that the Yuan Ling Universe would be much safer once he advanced to the eight-system level was not an exaggeration.

As for Eight-System Saint Kings, people rarely kill them directly; most are subdued, and the entire Universe is not destroyed.

To put it bluntly, once True Person Yuan Ling advances to the eight-system level, he will have the qualification to be recruited by the Guiyi Realm, which at least ensures the survival of the Yuan Ling Universe.

The others just looked at True Person Yuan Ling without speaking; it was still Jiu You who spoke up.

"In that case, let's pool our valuable belongings together. Just in case there are multiple cosmic cores, let's try to buy as many as possible."

After hearing this, True Person Yuan Ling no longer wanted to pay attention to Jiu You.

The purpose of his words was to consolidate the resources of the entire Yuan Ling Universe to exchange for a single cosmic core.

Even so, True Person Yuan Ling felt it wasn't a sure thing, yet this Jiu You talked about getting several? Does he think they're as common as cabbages?

You should know that for a single space-system cosmic core, Nuke almost exhausted most of the Silver Sea Universe's wealth. And remember, the Silver Sea Universe is much larger than the Yuan Ling Universe, so its resources were naturally much more abundant.

An expansive Universe like the Silver Sea Universe could only afford to exchange for one space-system cosmic core; one can imagine how rare this item is.

The Soul-system cosmic core that True Person Yuan Ling needs is just as rare as the space-system core, and the price wouldn't differ much.

Except for the Time System cosmic core, there have been trading records for all other cosmic cores. Although prices vary, they are all highly sought after yet rarely available, making them extremely expensive.

Whether it's Star Swallower or Bai Guang, these long-renowned Hongmeng Realm Experts almost always find their final Law stuck on the Time System.
