Chapter 489 Star Gazing

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Don't put too many treasures in your inventory. Consider building a vault at home. If you're worried, give the items to your elders for safekeeping before entering the instance.]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: In short, never bring Dominator-level items into the instance. The Way of the Extraordinary will screw you over. I almost didn't make it back this time.]

The four in the group thought about the Dominator-level items and materials in their inventories and became vigilant, deciding to take them out before entering the instance next time.

[Xiahou Aotian: Now that you mention it, I remember. Ever since the family assigned me a Dominator-quality energy pack, the difficulty of the instances I enter has indeed increased. Last time, I was even matched with an S-grade instance, but the family didn't tell me about this.]

Could it be that your character is so bad that the elders of the Xiahou family deliberately didn't tell you? Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

[Zhao Chenghuang: Based on the style of the Way of the Extraordinary families, I guess they're raising Gu. Carrying an energy pack increases your hidden score, and the difficulty of the instances you enter increases. Once you grow up, you'll be a strong one.]

[Zhao Chenghuang: If you can't grow up, it means you're not qualified, and it's no pity if you die. If Way of the Extraordinary families want to last, they must ensure that each generation has a stable stream of talent. The reason for not making it public is probably because it's not honorable, and it's a hidden rule.]

[Tianxia Guihuo: Zhao Chenghuang's analysis makes a lot of sense. @Yuanshi Tianzun, who did you encounter?]

Zhang Yuanqing was waiting for someone to ask this, and immediately typed away:

[Yuanshi Tianzun: The enemies in this instance were quite strong. Greed God General, Ichikawa Mi, Serpent Woman, a level 5 Psychic, and a level 5 Mist Master, all in the state of advancing from level 5 to 6.]

No wonder he said he almost died in the instance. He was actually matched with a God General-level figure… Sun Miaomiao and the other three were shocked.

The God Generals of the Theology Society are the most powerful small group of experts below the Dominator level. Even though they are now Saints, God Generals are still a lofty existence.

They are the bottom and the peak of the same stage.

Besides Greed God General, Ichikawa Mi and Serpent Woman are also Saints who have been famous for a long time, and are on the official Saints-stage wanted list.

[Tianxia Guihuo: Wait, since you've returned, it means the evil faction was defeated. Who were the teammates you were matched with?]

Sun Liushui, Zhao Chenghuang, and Xiahou Aotian suddenly reacted, realizing that this was a big deal. Greed God General, Ichikawa Mi, and Serpent Woman all died in the Way of the Extraordinary.

Such a feat will surely shake all directions once announced. Who did it?

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Huang Taiji, Jiang Ju, and Cai Longshen.]

Xiahou Aotian, Sun Miaomiao, and Zhao Chenghuang suddenly understood. Huang Taiji and Jiang Ju are among the official Four Young Masters, and were already level 6 experts a long time ago. The latter even competed with Qian Gongzi, who was close to achieving perfection in his skills.

Only such a lineup could defeat Greed God General, Ichikawa Mi, and other established evil professionals.

[Zhao Chenghuang: So it was them, no wonder… Yuanshi Tianzun, have you reached level 5?]

He was eager to know Yuanshi Tianzun's level.

He should be level 5, right? Passing such a difficult instance must have given a lot of experience points… The other three thought to themselves, staring at their phone or computer screens.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: I'm level 6.]

Seeing this reply, the four people in the group had a string of question marks flashing through their minds.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Greed God General, Serpent Woman, and Ichikawa Mi were all killed by me. I plan to refine them into Yin corpses. @Zhao Chenghuang, you can touch them when it's done.]

[Sun Miaomiao: Haha, let me touch them too.]

She was almost fooled. Seeing the last message, she realized that Yuanshi Tianzun was joking.

Zhao Chenghuang, Tianxia Guihuo, and Xiahou Aotian thought the same as her.

I didn't mean to scare you… Zhang Yuanqing opened the camera and took a photo of Greed God General and the Hundred-Man Slayer on the ground, then saw Fu Qingyang reply with a message:

[Fu Qingyang: The strategy report is fine. I'll forward it to Huang Taiji.]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Thank you so much, Boss. By the way, I brought back the corpses of Greed God General and the others, planning to refine them into Yin corpses. Three level 6 Yin corpses, one level 6 Spirit Servant, two of which are ascending from level 5 to 6. How much money would that cost?]

[Fu Qingyang: Not considering the possibility of failure and wasted materials, it would cost about 200 million.]

Two hundred million… My materials quota is only 100 million. I'm still short by a small goal, but the merit points for killing Greed God General, Ichikawa Mi, and Serpent Woman, when exchanged for money and materials, should be more than enough… Zhang Yuanqing typed a message and replied:

"Boss, it's better to refine Yin corpses sooner rather than later. The headquarters' review process takes time. Can you lend me some money?"

At the same time, he @Xiahou Aotian in the group:

[Yuanshi Tianzun: @Xiahou Aotian, were the antiques auctioned off?]

[Xiahou Aotian: I'll go to the Treasure Pavilion to collect the money tomorrow. A total of 60 million was auctioned off, and everyone gets 12 million. Lian Sanyue was conquered by my handsome appearance and kingly aura, and decided not to take our commission.]

Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, and Tianxia Guihuo were all very happy, looking forward to the huge sum of money arriving.

Although the former two came from wealthy families, having money at home is different from them having money. As for Tianxia Guihuo, who came from a humble background, there are not many channels for him to make money. A huge sum of 12 million, whether used to improve the quality of life or purchase materials, can make him extravagant for a while.

And they still have many such antiques.

Conquered by your kingly aura? Lian Sanyue doesn't seem like a good person… Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, then saw Fu Qingyang reply:

"Give me a list, and I'll gather the materials for you tomorrow."

Zhang Yuanqing replied with a "frantically kowtowing" emoticon.

Then he sent the photo to the "Protagonist Squad Fighting Group".

The photo showed two corpses, an old man with disheveled white hair, and a strong man with tattoos all over his face.

The two lay side by side on the warm-colored elm floor.

Sun Miaomiao and others didn't recognize the tattooed strong man, but they had seen the information on the famous Greed God General, an evil professional on the wanted list.

[Sun Miaomiao: ???]

[Xiahou Aotian: !!!]

Zhao Chenghuang and Tianxia Guihuo then sent a string of ellipses.

.........

Beijing.

At his desk, Zhao Chenghuang stared at the photo in the group, stunned.

As one of the eight God Generals of the Theology Society, an evil professional with a long record, Zhao Chenghuang naturally knew Greed God General.

Without a doubt, the old man with white hair to his shoulders in the photo was Greed God General.

Could it be that someone from the Lawful faction gave God General's corpse to Yuanshi Tianzun? Zhao Chenghuang still didn't believe that Yuanshi Tianzun had advanced to level 6.

He thought that Yuanshi Tianzun had exchanged for the corpse from a teammate in the instance, but then he thought that it was impossible for a level 4 Star Official to refine a level 6 Yin corpse.

Level 5 is the limit.

At this time, he saw Sun Miaomiao send him a private message:

[Sun Miaomiao: Go look at the Five Elements Alliance forum.]

The Five Elements Alliance forum? Zhao Chenghuang opened the Five Elements Alliance forum with doubt.

——As a member of the Taiyi Sect, he has access to the forum, but cannot post comments.

The interface flashed, and the forum popped up. Zhao Chenghuang's pupils suddenly shrank.

On the homepage of the forum, a red-marked and pinned post was titled:

#Yuanshi Tianzun Crosses Two Levels, Kills High-Level Executives of Three Major Organizations#

The poster was the Songhai Branch.

Zhao Chenghuang's breathing stagnated, and he quickly opened the post to read it.

"A few days ago, Yuanshi Tianzun encountered Greed God General of the Theology Society, Ichikawa Mi of the Nihility Sect (Southern Branch), Serpent Woman of the Western District Branch of the Psychic Society, and the Hundred-Man Slayer of the Northwest Saber Alliance in the instance..."

"Yuanshi Tianzun turned the tide at a critical moment, killing three level 6 Way of the Extraordinary, reversing the situation. This battle is the peak of his life since his debut, and also a great victory for the Five Elements Alliance..."

Yuanshi Tianzun… Zhao Chenghuang leaned back in his chair, his expression stunned.

[Sun Miaomiao: This kid is really perverted. He's really level 6. During the arena competition, he was lower level than you. Now he's crushing us, sob sob sob...]

The corners of Zhao Chenghuang's mouth twitched. Sun Miaomiao's words struck his heart.

He felt a strong sense of anxiety and couldn't wait to enter the instance and level up twice.

........

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, this is not true, I must be under an illusion."

In the bedroom of the villa, Xiahou Aotian excitedly patted the table in front of the computer, his face distorted, "Yuanshi Tianzun is clearly my little brother. How can he do the feat that even this protagonist hasn't done?"

"How can he do the feat that only belongs to the protagonist." Xiahou Aotian repeated, gnashing his teeth.

He was also looking at the Five Elements Alliance forum. When he saw the content of the post, he was a little stimulated, especially the official members below the post who blindly praised Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Lord Tianzun is awesome!"

"This record exceeds Qian Gongzi!"

"The number one person in the Saint stage!"

"I expect the high-level executives of the evil organization to tremble."

Comments like these made Xiahou Aotian, who considers himself the protagonist, envious to the point of being shattered.

The mental fluctuations of the Qin Dynasty sorcerer came from the ring: "This child is indeed a genius. The chaos of the Five Elements? Five Elements..."

Xiahou Aotian restrained his emotions, "What about the Five Elements?"

The Qin Dynasty sorcerer said with emotion:

"Haven't you been asking me about the information of the First Emperor? Heh, the First Emperor was the first genius in ancient and modern times to comprehend the mysteries of the Five Elements.

"He created sacrificial clothes. Legend has it that he wore sacrificial clothes to Mount Tai and communicated with Haotian. He obtained the secret of immortality from Haotian's oracle."

Xiahou Aotian sneered, "Then why did the First Emperor still die?"

The Qin Dynasty sorcerer laughed, "I heard it from Xu Fu, but that kid is full of lies, and the First Emperor never responded directly, who knows if it's true or false?"

........

Kangyang District Public Security Bureau.

Tianxia Guihuo silently browsed the official forum, his eyebrows solemn.

"He's leveling up too fast..." The shame of Fire Master sighed.

In the past few days, he has been practicing the Scarlet Flame Fire Sword, has already mastered it, and considers himself to be a first-class level among the level 4 Fire Demons. Within two months, he will be able to advance to level 5.

But compared to Yuanshi Tianzun, it is still too far behind.

This made the pride in his heart disappear, and the anxiety skyrocketed.

It's too competitive!

........

Beijing, Thousand Bird Lake.

Thousand Bird Lake is an artificial lake, named after the many aquatic birds in spring and summer. It is not big, with an area of only seven acres. The water is clear, without fish or grass. Through the water dozens of meters deep, you can directly see the stones at the bottom of the water.

The water here is directly drinkable because Elder Cai of the Water God Palace is sleeping at the bottom of the water.

Beside the greenery by the lake, a group of people walked quickly and stopped at the shore of the artificial lake. The leader was a middle-aged man with a white face, no beard, and gloomy eyes.

"Give me the report, all of you step back." Cai Shuishi said with a gloomy face.

The assistant respectfully handed over a folder and left with the bodyguards.

After the people left, he bowed towards the lake and said loudly:

"Father, Longshen died in the instance."

The calm lake surface suddenly set off a stormy sea, turbulent and uneasy.

It was clearly just a small lake, but the surging waves gave people a terrifying oppressive force like a tsunami.

A figure condensed from clear water rose from the waves, and a low voice echoed on the lake: "Longshen has teleportation props, how could he die?"

The voice was filled with anger and questioning.

Cai Shuishi's body trembled instinctively, his face turned pale, and his father's powerful aura even made his breathing difficult.

Cai Longshen is his father's favorite grandson, and the degree of importance is far greater than sons and daughters.

Faced with his father's questioning, he lowered his head even more and offered the folder with both hands, saying:

"This is the task report of Jiang Ju, Huang Taiji, and Yuanshi Tianzun."

The folder flew up automatically, opened, and hovered in front of the figure condensed from clear water.

Elder Cai's water body quickly read the task report, and remained silent for a long time.

"What do you think?" Elder Cai said slowly.

Cai Shuishi said with a painful face, "Longshen was too careless. If he had left the instance earlier, it would not have happened..."

He knew his son best.

What the report said should be the truth. That was indeed something Cai Longshen would do.

"Humph!"

Elder Cai snorted coldly.

In an instant, a vast oppressive force descended from the sky, directly pressing Cai Shuishi to the ground.

"Fa, Father?"

Cai Shuishi, with gloomy eyes, knelt on the ground, both dazed and wronged.

"Yuanshi Tianzun was deadlocked with the boss, and Longshen went to get his suit, huh, if he lost early or late, why did he fail when Longshen acted?" Elder Cai said sternly:

"Since the boss can kill Longshen in seconds, he can kill Huang Taiji in seconds, why didn't Huang Taiji die? He failed when Longshen acted, Longshen died, and he immediately leveled up and counterattacked the boss. What a coincidence."

Cai Shuishi was shocked, "Father, do you mean..."

"I'm not a diviner, nor a Star Official." Elder Cai retorted his son coldly, and then said, "Take my seal and write an application to call the Tiger Talisman, and you personally ask Yuanshi Tianzun and Huang Taiji."

"Yes!" Cai Shuishi said in a deep voice.

........

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Yuanqing spent the whole evening bombarded with text messages and phone calls, most of them from colleagues who had advanced to the Saint stage together in the Killing Instance.

Xie Su of the Xie family, and the non-official contacts such as the Palace Master of the Zhisha Palace also sent congratulatory messages.

Then there was Xiaoyuan's reminder:

[Magical Aunt Xiaoyuan: Liangchen Zezhu'er Shi said that the three major evil organizations have promoted you from the Earth List to the Heaven List, ranking sixth.]

The current Yuanshi Tianzun is worth 300 million, plus a top-quality Saint-stage item, and three fine items.

It is worth mentioning that Fear King of the Theology Society called him personally.

Fear King expressed his dissatisfaction with Yuanshi Tianzun. He believed that Yuanshi Tianzun and the Theology Society were naturally incompatible. From Demon Eye King to Lust God General, to Greed God General, three high-level officials have been harmed by him.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately replied with a long speech about his understanding of freedom, which was deeply appreciated by Fear King. He euphemistically reminded Yuanshi Tianzun that the one-month deadline was approaching.

If you don't want to return to the Way of the Extraordinary with Greed God General, you should use your brain to save the Demon Eye.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't even have an appetite for dinner.

On the rooftop of the villa, a starlight rose. Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the gloomy night sky and sighed.

"Use Star Gazing to deduce the pros and cons of saving the Demon Eye. If the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, I will use the Perfect Human Skin to offset the curse..."

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the dark night and opened his Star Eyes.
