Leaving five thousand clones in the World Ring to continue cultivating, Wang Cheng left the ring and returned to his villa.
"Brother Cheng, you're back?"
Jiang Mingyue was cleaning when she saw Wang Cheng. She greeted him, but then seemed to sense something terrifying, and her face instantly turned a little pale.
"Hm?"
Seeing Jiang Mingyue's unusual expression, Wang Cheng immediately realized what had happened.
"Number One, mask my aura!" Wang Cheng ordered.
Whoosh!
Wang Cheng quickly reined in all his aura, becoming just like an ordinary person.
The gap between a Cosmic level and a Planet level life form was enormous. On top of that, Wang Cheng had just visited the Outer Realm Battlefield and fought a Life and Death Battle. It was only natural that Jiang Mingyue found his aura terrifying when he made no effort to suppress it.
Fortunately, Wang Cheng's detector was the kind that even most King level Immortals couldn't afford. Concealing his aura was a piece of cake!
"Brother Cheng, your aura just now was terrifying!" Jiang Mingyue said, still shaken.
"I didn't notice. Sorry!" Wang Cheng smiled. With a thought, two Space Rings appeared in his hand.
He had obtained them after killing the Iron Wing Tribe Domain Lord level sixth order and the Iron Wing Tribe Domain Lord level second order. Wang Cheng sent his consciousness into one of the rings and quickly moved all the treasures inside it into the other.
"This is a Space Ring. Take it as compensation." Wang Cheng handed the now-empty ring to Jiang Mingyue.
"Brother Cheng, you don't have to!" Jiang Mingyue shook her head without taking it.
After being with Wang Cheng for so long, Jiang Mingyue knew what a Space Ring was. She even knew that Luo Feng had one.
She also knew that Space Rings were precious.
Now that she had avenged her great grievance, Jiang Mingyue wanted for nothing aside from cultivating and growing stronger. She had no reason to accept Wang Cheng's Space Ring.
"It's only a Space Ring. It's nothing to me. Besides, having one will make things more convenient for you!" Wang Cheng said, then firmly pressed the ring into Jiang Mingyue's hand.
In fact, Wang Cheng wasn't just saying that. Going to the Outer Realm Battlefield let him hone his combat experience, and as long as he killed his enemies, he'd probably claim their treasures as spoils. Space Rings were valuable, but generally speaking, Cosmic levels and Domain Lords could afford them.
That meant enemies' treasures were usually kept in Space Rings.
So, to Wang Cheng, Space Rings were practically worthless. He could give away as many as he liked without a second thought.
Even if this hadn't happened today, Wang Cheng would have found an opportunity to give one to Jiang Mingyue.
With a Space Ring, Jiang Mingyue's life would indeed be much more convenient. Whether she was going out to buy groceries or hiding treasures, a Space Ring was essential!
Jiang Mingyue was about to say something, but Wang Cheng had already walked over and sat down on the sofa.
"Go pour me a cup of tea," Wang Cheng ordered.
".All right!"
Seeing that Wang Cheng was serious, Jiang Mingyue swallowed the words she had been about to say and turned to pour the tea.
A short while later, Wang Cheng sipped the tea Jiang Mingyue had poured him while examining the Space Ring he had kept.
"Let's see what these two Domain Lords had," Wang Cheng thought as he quickly searched through it.
Before Wang Cheng killed them, the two Domain Lords had slain plenty of people on the Outer Realm Battlefield, so they'd accumulated a large assortment of odds and ends.
A quick glance showed Wang Cheng plenty of Force weapons and Origin Force Battle Robes of various grades, followed by food and wine.
"The Iron Wing Tribe has some unusual tastes."
Looking at the sticky food, Wang Cheng instantly lost his appetite. It even made him suspicious of the wine they drank.
Beyond the food and wine came a jumble of miscellaneous items, most of which Wang Cheng didn't recognize.
"I'll identify them slowly when I get the chance," Wang Cheng said, shaking his head.
The only person on Earth who might recognize these things was Babata, but Wang Cheng had no intention of asking him.
In a sense, what he'd gained on the Outer Realm Battlefield was a Great Secret. And this wasn't going to be his only haul; he'd undoubtedly have many more in the future. How could he ask Babata about everything every time?
"No rush. Treasures from a few Domain Lords and Cosmic levels probably aren't anything special. I can sort them out later." Wang Cheng shook his head, then put the Space Ring away.
"I've saved up nearly three hundred Opportunity Points. I might as well try grasping an opportunity." Wang Cheng thought for a moment, then nodded to himself.
"Last time, fifty Opportunity Points took me all the way to the Initial Universe. This time, I might as well go big!" Wang Cheng considered it, then made up his mind. In an instant, his 280 Opportunity Points became 180.
The general rule for Grasping Opportunity seemed to be that the more Opportunity Points one spent, the wider the range of opportunities one could reach, and the greater the chance of getting something good.
But a chance was still only a chance, not a certainty!
In other words, even after spending Opportunity Points, he could very well grasp a piece of junk!
So far, aside from the Domain Lord level bloodline potion—which was useless to him—everything Wang Cheng had grasped had been extremely useful. But those were just individual cases. They didn't mean that the Opportunity Grasping System would always bring back treasures useful to him, or even that it would always bring back treasures at all.
"Opportunity" meant different things to different people.
To a War God, a single Wood Essence Crystal was an incredible opportunity. But what about Wang Cheng? If a Wood Essence Crystal fell to the ground, he might not even bother bending down to pick it up!
Given that, it wouldn't be surprising if the Opportunity Grasping System brought back a piece of junk one time.
Understanding this was exactly why Wang Cheng felt so conflicted. He was eager, uneasy, and just a little nervous.
At last, with Wang Cheng watching, the opportunity-grasping process finished, and lines of text appeared before him.
[100 Opportunity Points consumed. Opportunity grasping successful!] [Opportunity category: Treasure] [Opportunity name: Demon Emperor Bead] [How to use: Refine] [Effect: Nourishes the soul and protects it]
"A Soul Treasure?" Wang Cheng was slightly taken aback. Then the unease and nervousness in his heart vanished, and all his anticipation turned to delight.
Soul Treasures were among the rarest and most precious treasures in the universe. Nothing else came close!
The soul was the foundation of life. With Wang Cheng's current strength, unless he was in a special secret realm like the Outer Realm Battlefield, if his soul were destroyed or he were enslaved, he'd be as good as dead.
Treasures capable of guarding the soul were rare in the universe. Most powerful beings lacked ways to protect their souls; even those who had any protection relied on cultivating secret soul techniques.
For example, the Void Tower technique from Hu Yanbo's inheritance!
The Oracle Marquis's inheritance lacked this kind of technique. Wang Cheng had long known the soul was one of his weaknesses, and he'd hoped to find a soul-protecting technique to cultivate when he got the chance. He hadn't expected to obtain a treasure that could guard his soul before he'd even found a technique.
This treasure was probably at least a Heavy Treasure. If he was lucky...
"Could it be a Supreme Treasure?" Wang Cheng was delighted.
If it was, then the Demon Emperor Bead might even be worth more than the Universe Chaos Tablet!
