Killing Two Birds with One Stone

In the center of the Eastern Wasteland, Canghai Tower.

He Wen Xien returned to the training room to recover from his injuries.

Empire Citizen players in the World of Divine Bodies possess divine bodies that are entirely energy-based, yet they can still be injured.

Meanwhile, He Wen Xien had just returned from the Sumeru Cave Abode discovered by his Lineage, and had suffered considerable injuries, requiring some time to recover.

The "Sumeru Cave Abode" was left behind by a powerful figure from a long time ago in the World of Divine Bodies. It contains many resources, and it is said that the most advanced Sumeru Cave Abode contain divine medicines and even Undying Divine Herb.

Of course, such Sumeru Cave Abode are extremely rare, and even if they do appear, they are usually located in the Central Province.

The Sumeru Cave Abode discovered by the Lineage must be quite extraordinary.

After recovering from his injuries, He Wen Xien pondered to himself.

The Sumeru Cave Abode not only contains treasures and resources, but also many dangers.

The two are generally directly proportional; the greater the danger, the more precious the treasures and resources within the cave.

Meanwhile, during his exploration of the Sumeru Cave Abode, He Wen Xien discovered that the dangers within it far exceeded those of ordinary Sumeru Cave Abode.

This is only the danger outside the cave.

In fact, it wasn't just He Wen Xien who discovered it; the higher-ups at Canghai Tower also realized it.

In fact, it wasn't just Canghai Tower; other forces on the Eastern Wasteland also noticed the Sumeru Cave Abode that Canghai Tower was exploring.

"However, this is a matter for the Lineage to concern themselves with; it has nothing to do with me."

He Wen Xien composed himself and stopped thinking about it.

In the Shattering the Void World, he was the first Pavilion Master of the Canglan Pavilion, holding a high position and great power.

However, in the World of Divine Bodies, He Wen Xien was merely an ordinary middle-level member of the Canghai Tower. The Great Cycle of Cosmic Power he mastered encompassed four types of cosmic power.

The divine body constructed from the four cosmic forces, upon reaching perfection, only reaches the fifth rank of strength.

During this time, He Wen Xien comprehended the workings of the Inner Universe, gaining insights and making progress, and fortunately advancing to the sixth rank.

Sixth rank is nothing special in the World of Divine Bodies, where experts abound.

Canghai Tower is a force established by the Xien Family in reality, with many advanced-realm Starry Sky Lifeform from the Xien Family in charge. Among these advanced-realm Starry Sky Lifeform, He Wen Xien is not particularly conspicuous.

Just as He Wen Xien was about to continue his cultivation and comprehend the workings of the various cosmic forces within the divine body...

"Um?"

He Wen Xien suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a message he had just received.

"This is... from Wu?" He Wen Xien's eyes widened. "Wu is already outside Canghai Tower?"

"Would you like to visit me?"

He Wen Xien was somewhat bewildered.

He did indeed send Su Yuan into the World of Divine Bodies to find him multiple times.

However, this idea was challenged after Su Yuan forcefully killed dozens of seventh- and eighth-tier experts, ascended to the top of the Eastern Wasteland Continent, and was listed by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion as one of the most untouchable people.

So they gave up.

Are you kidding me?

According to the evaluation of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Su Yuan is undoubtedly at the peak of the ninth rank, and there are no more than ten people in the entire Eastern Wasteland who can compare with him.

Even the Canghai Tower Master would treat such a person with utmost respect. Why would he come to visit him?

But now.

Su Yuan really came?

They even proactively sent me a message saying they wanted to visit?

He Wen Xien was only stunned for a moment before he reacted and immediately got up to go out and greet Su Yuan.

Brother Wu!

Soon, He Wen Xien saw Su Yuan.

Compared to the imagined peak ninth-tier expert, Su Yuan looked quite ordinary, radiating no aura whatsoever.

"Brother He Wen," Su Yuan greeted him with a smile.

"Please come in."

He Wen Xien immediately invited Su Yuan inside.

"I never imagined that in such a short time, Brother Wu, you would have become a renowned peak ninth-tier expert in the Eastern Wasteland."

Inside the training room, He Wen Xien and Su Yuan sat facing each other, and Hewenxian couldn't help but sigh.

Although both Su Yuan and Su Yuan are late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform, one is just entering the sixth rank while the other is at the peak of the ninth rank, so the difference is not small.

The difference between the two is not merely a world of difference in combat power, but also a significant difference in their understanding and perception of the great cycle of cosmic power.

A peak ninth-tier expert has essentially reached the limit of understanding the essence of the great cycle of cosmic power. Such a late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform has at least an 80-90% chance of opening up Inner World and entering the level of Stellar Lifeform form.

Eighty or ninety percent?

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a peak ninth-tier life form is practically guaranteed to be Stellar Lifeform.

It should be understood that the vast majority of late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform, even with the assistance of World of Divine Bodies, cannot reach the strength of the eighth or ninth rank.

Not to mention those who have at least mastered a ninth-tier peak spatial divine body technique.

"Without Brother He Wen's help, I might not have achieved my current strength," Su Yuan said with a smile.

"My help?" He Wen Xien asked in surprise.

"Back in the Shattering the Void World, Brother He Wen, you gave me quite a few top-notch martial arts manuals," Su Yuan said.

"What's that?" He Wen Xien immediately shook his head. With the strength Su Yuan later displayed, plenty of forces would be willing to give away top-notch martial arts manuals.

Furthermore, Su Yuan later intervened, single-handedly holding off numerous pursuers from the Royal Capital, allowing He Wen Xien to successfully comprehend the Shattering Grade Martial Arts Manual. This was already a great repayment.

The two chatted for a while.

He Wen Xien asked curiously, "Brother Wu, what brings you here?"

I'll just travel around and explore.

Su Yuan said with a smile.

His purpose in coming here was to wait for the miraculous herb to be born.

The divine herb is currently hidden deep within the Sumeru Cave Abode discovered by Canghai Tower.

"I see."

He Wen Xien suddenly realized.

The World of Divine Bodies is one of the best Evolution World for promoting the evolution of Starry Sky Lifeform. This is not only because of the many cosmic powers contained within the Divine Body itself, but also because there are microscopic cosmic powers operating throughout this Evolution World.

I've heard that once you reach the ninth level of strength, you can vaguely sense the subtle essence of the World of Divine Bodies.

At the same time.

Inside a quiet room in Canghai Tower.

The Canghai Tower Master was frowning in deep thought.

As the strongest being among the later-stage Starry Sky Lifeform of the Xien Family, the Canghai Tower Master has mastered the great cycle constructed by five kinds of cosmic power, and his strength has reached the ninth level.

Reaching the ninth level of the World of Divine Bodies signifies a profound understanding and comprehension of the cyclical nature of cosmic power, with a probability exceeding 60% of breaking through to become Stellar Lifeform.

Although it still can't compare to the peak of the ninth rank, it's still a very high achievement.

Normal late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform have no confidence in breaking through to Stellar Lifeform. For example, the Multi-Eye Race Patriarch deliberately delayed until he was close to the end of his lifespan before daring to take a desperate gamble.

"That Sumeru Cave Abode contains more than ten kinds of cosmic power, and it may contain divine medicine..." the Canghai Tower Master thought to himself.

If even He Wen Xien could sense it, how could the Canghai Tower Master not?

Not only did they notice it, but they also knew far more than He Wen Xien, even speculating about the most precious items within the cave.

"Only...

The Canghai Tower Master sighed inwardly.

The Canghai Tower's attempt to block information about the Sumeru Cave Abode was too late. Now, the attention of other forces has also turned to it, and the Canghai Tower Master has noticed that many powerful figures are approaching the Sumeru Cave Abode.

"Miracle drug..."

A longing welled up in the heart of the Canghai Tower Master.

Although the value of the divine medicine cannot compare to that of the Undying Divine Herb, it still makes most late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform envious. With the strength of the Canghai Tower Master, if he could refine a divine medicine, he would have a chance to reach the peak of the ninth rank.

At the peak of the ninth tier, the chance of breaking through to become Stellar Lifeform reaches 80-90%.

It is almost certain that they will become Stellar Lifeform.

"Given the strength of Canghai Tower, it will be difficult for them to protect that divine herb."

The Canghai Tower Master knew that the allure of the divine medicine was enough to attract even peak ninth-tier cultivators.

The pursuit of those at the peak of the ninth rank is no longer about opening up Inner World; for them, opening up Inner World is already something they are quite confident about.

Ninth-tier peak experts crave to open up a larger Inner World, and divine medicine can also provide some assistance in this regard.

"We must find foreign players."

The Canghai Tower Master was thinking to himself.

It's easy to think about, but hard to do.

Given the rarity and preciousness of this divine medicine, it is bound to attract peak ninth-tier experts.

In other words, if Canghai Tower wants to hire outside help, that helper's strength must be at the peak of the ninth rank.

Without reaching the peak of the ninth rank, let alone protecting the divine medicine, one might not even see it.

However.

There are only so many ninth-tier peak cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland.

Almost everyone was tempted by the miracle drug.

If we were to request it from outside the Eastern Wasteland, it would take too long, and by the time the reinforcements arrived, the divine medicine might have already been taken away.

"OP."

Just then, a subordinate reported to them.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the report, the Canghai Tower Master's pupils constricted sharply. "You mean, that Wu is already in my Canghai Tower? And is visiting He Wen?"

As a major power in the Eastern Wasteland, Canghai Tower receives many visitors on a regular basis, and these visitors leave a record of their visit after entering Canghai Tower.

The same applies to Su Yuan's visit to He Wen Xien.

"Wu? That mysterious peak ninth-tier cultivator, it's said he has a good relationship with He Wen in the Shattering the Void World..."

The Canghai Tower Master was very interested. He was hesitating about which outside help to invite, and now Wu seemed like the perfect candidate.

The only uncertainty is whether Wu is willing to help him, since even a peak ninth-tier expert would find the divine medicine useful.

Wu could easily fight for the divine medicine himself, why help him?

As for the reward for helping? For a peak ninth-tier expert, no reward, however precious, can compare to opening up a larger Inner World.

"Let's give it a try."

After thinking for a while, the Canghai Tower Master decided to first probe Su Yuan's thoughts.

Su Yuan and He Wen Xien reminisced for a while before Su Yuan got up and left.

As soon as He Wen Xien stepped out of the cultivation room, he saw the Canghai Tower Master waiting outside.

"OP."

He Wen Xien immediately said.

Within the Xien Family, the position of the Canghai Tower Master is far above that of He Wen Xien, after all, the former has become the hope for Stellar Lifeform, with a success rate exceeding 60%.

"This must be Wu. It's better to see him in person than to have heard so much about him."

The Canghai Tower Master nodded slightly to He Wen Xien and then greeted Su Yuan warmly.

"I wonder if it's inconvenient for Wu Fang?"

The Canghai Tower Master immediately inquired.

Upon hearing this, He Wen Xien immediately knew that the host had something important to discuss with Su Yuan.

"Naturally convenient."

Su Yuan nodded and said.

He was waiting for those words from the Canghai Tower Master.

In fact, one of the reasons he came to see He Wen Xien was to catch up with old friends.

The main purpose was to wait to be invited by the Canghai Tower Master to become an outside helper.

Through the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan had a clear understanding of Canghai Tower's current situation and its needs.

That's why it appeared at the right time and was discovered by the Canghai Tower Master at just the right moment.

The highest-standard quiet room in Canghai Tower.

The Canghai Tower Master looked at Su Yuan with a solemn expression.

The longer one stays in the World of Divine Bodies, the clearer one becomes about the terror of a peak ninth-tier being.

To fully master a spatial divine body technique through the insights gained from Starry Sky Lifeform is an impossible task.

"Wu, I'll speak frankly," the Canghai Tower Master said.

He knew very well that powerful people like Su Yuan valued their time and generally didn't bother with empty pleasantries with others.

"Explain."

Su Yuan nodded.

"Our Canghai Tower has discovered a Sumeru Cave Abode, which most likely contains a divine herb."

The Canghai Tower Master made no attempt to conceal anything, truthfully stating, "However, this news has already leaked out, and it will likely attract a large number of powerful individuals. Canghai Tower alone cannot protect this cave dwelling, much less the divine medicine within."

"So--"

The Canghai Tower Master said in a deep voice, "I intend to invite you to become an external ally of my Canghai Tower. Rest assured about the compensation; you will definitely not be treated unfairly. Whether in the World of Divine Bodies or in reality, Wu, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will not hesitate."

After the Canghai Tower Master finished speaking, his gaze towards Su Yuan revealed a hint of unease.

Although he had already paid the maximum price he could, he promised that he would agree as long as he could do it.

Given his status in the Xien Family, there are many things he can do, even to the point of influencing Stellar Lifeform to some extent.

However, he was still unsure whether he could successfully invite Su Yuan. After all, it involved a divine herb, so why would Su Yuan help him? Wouldn't it be better for him to compete for the herb himself?

"Please let me protect the miraculous medicine?"

Su Yuan was also looking at the Canghai Tower Master.

The divine medicines, even the Undying Divine Herb, of the World of Divine Bodies have incredible uses for Starry Sky Lifeform, but in Su Yuan's eyes, their effects are not so great.

With the <Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art>, an eighth-tier Empire Citizen player could be as helpful to Su Yuan as a divine medicine.

Therefore, the allure of the miraculous medicine to Su Yuan was only so-so.

Su Yuan's real target was the large number of Empire Citizen players from the Later Starry Sky Lifeform who were attracted by this divine herb.

Those eighth and ninth-tier Empire Citizen Players, with their mastery of the Great Cycle of Cosmic Power, can propel the Great Cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements within Su Yuan's body toward perfection.

In particular, the ninth-tier peak late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform is even more useful to Su Yuan than the Undying Divine Herb.

"No problem."

Su Yuan looked at the anxious-looking Canghai Tower Master and smiled in agreement.

Since he was going to deal with those late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform anyway, accepting the invitation from Canghai Tower was just a convenient thing to do.

Most importantly, the Xien Family possessed several treasures and rare items that Su Yuan needed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yuan could also acquire these treasures and rare items.
