Yu Wang's gaze remained fixed on Qi Yuan-or, more precisely, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Then an unusual look appeared in his eyes, and inwardly, he was astonished.
Even I couldn't open the Eighth Layer of the Planetary Space back then, but this boy actually did it!
And he seems able to withstand the Sharingan's power??
Through his perception, he discovered that Qi Yuan was in exceptionally good condition.
He showed none of the signs of being ravaged by the Sharingan.
Jia Nan asked hesitantly, "Should I use some methods to examine his memories?"
"The Detection Chip couldn't record what happened to him in the Eighth Layer of the Planetary Space."
Jia Nan was a genjutsu specialist at the Grandmaster realm. In his view, casting a genjutsu on a junior was hardly difficult.
But Yu Wang shook his head. "There's no need. Do you really think no one else has entered the Eighth Layer in the past three hundred years?"
Jia Nan's pupils contracted. Although most people had long suspected as much, hearing it from Yu Wang carried a different significance!!
Even Yu Wang, with his chakra affinity of 280, couldn't enter the Eighth Layer. Just how high did someone's chakra affinity have to be to enter it!!
But if the two of them knew that Qi Yuan had entered the ninth layer of the Inheritance Tower, what expressions would they have?
"Then why haven't even I heard about this?"
Jia Nan was, after all, a level-five Grandmaster and one of Yu Wang's direct subordinates, yet even he knew nothing about this.
Yu Wang said calmly, "According to the recorded files, a total of three people have entered the Eighth Layer of the Inheritance Tower in the past three hundred years."
"The Detection Chip cannot record the Eighth Layer, but we still obtained some important information from their accounts."
"There are only three legacies on the Eighth Layer, and all of them concern the Sharingan. Those Sharingan surpass the three-tomoe level!!"
"But the reason history never remembered those three is that they all suffered a terrible curse."
"Within days of leaving the Planetary Space, they suddenly died!!"
Jia Nan sucked in a cold breath. "Then Qi Yuan?? Doesn't that mean he won't live long either?"
How he wished humans could inherit the Sharingan's power just as those Demon Beasts or other races could.
After all, experiencing that terrifying power as an enemy was truly awful!
But time and extensive experimentation had shown that the human body struggled to withstand and wield the Sharingan's power.
Grand Grandmaster Yunlong, ranked first on the Grand Grandmaster Rankings, was a peerless genius, yet the Sharingan had now tormented him to the point that his life was nearly spent.
"He's different."
"This little fellow may well be an exception."
"Right now, I can sense that his body is healthy, without the slightest sign of damage."
A slight fluctuation entered Yu Wang's voice, carrying a note of anticipation.
He had guarded Desolate Heaven City for years. Even he found the other races' special Sharingan power incredibly troublesome, struggling at every step.
If he were gone, Yu Province's current strength would make it difficult to hold Desolate Heaven City!!
And he was already nearly seventy this year. How much longer could he hold on??
Jia Nan froze for a moment. He wasn't a sensory Ninja and had merely assumed that Qi Yuan was terminally ill, just like the others who had obtained the Sharingan.
He hadn't expected to learn this.
But Yu Wang's next words left him too shocked to speak!!
"His chakra reserves are so-so, just approaching level five!"
Approaching level five was indeed insignificant in Yu Wang's eyes, but it gave Jia Nan a fright.
Looking incredulous, Jia Nan stammered, "Could you have seen it wrong?"
But then he remembered that the man before him could extend his perception over more than half of Yu Province. How could he get such a small matter wrong!!
Still, this shocked him beyond measure.
Someone like Xu Ying, who had obtained a King's Legacy, could reach the peak of level three at most.
Yet the Eighth Layer's legacy had already brought Qi Yuan close to matching the Grandmaster realm.
Yu Wang swept his hand, and the Telescope Technique dispersed!!
"Keep his situation quiet for now."
"If he survives this month, I will provide resources to help him alleviate the Sharingan's side effects and teach him personally!!"
Although Qi Yuan was in very good condition now, who could guarantee he would remain unharmed when the Sharingan was involved!
Envy welled up inside Jia Nan.
Providing resources was one thing, but personal instruction from Yu Wang?
Since making his name, Yu Wang had taken a total of four disciples.
By now, all four of his disciples had become Kings.
Receiving instruction from Yu Wang would instantly place someone among the highest-ranking people in the Nine Provinces Alliance.
"Now we'll see whether Qi Yuan has the fortune to survive!"
Yu Wang nodded to Jia Nan, swiftly formed a hand seal, and vanished!!
Jia Nan gazed at Yu Wang's departing figure with admiration.
With him here, those other races wouldn't easily set foot in Yu Province.
Unlike Qing Province a few days ago, where a beast tide had engulfed half its territory, sending shock waves through the Nine Provinces!
"I need to deal with Lin Tao's case!!"
Ambushing a companion in the Planetary Space was a serious crime. Although it was attempted murder, the sentence would still start at thirty years!!
Jia Nan picked up the phone. "Cao Yang's squad? Bring over Lin Tao from Mowu No. 1 Middle School and Qi Yuan from Shangcheng No. 1 Middle School."
Meanwhile, Lin Tao and his father wore expressions of bitter resentment in their assigned lodgings.
Lin Qiang was exasperated with his son's failure. "How could you dare attack him in the Planetary Space? Couldn't you have waited?"
But Lin Tao remained utterly unrepentant. "Dad, it's too late to say any of that now. Is there any other way?"
"If Qi Yuan had also obtained an upper kekkei genkai, I definitely wouldn't stand a chance."
"But now he's just a piece of trash. Would those important people suppress a genius like me for a piece of trash like him?"
Lin Qiang roared furiously, "You don't know a damn thing! Do you think obtaining Boil Release means you can disregard Yu Province's laws?"
But Lin Tao said resentfully, "That bitch Xu Ying wouldn't help me either. She even beat me up for nothing and said she'd report me on Qi Yuan's behalf. All my affection for her before was wasted!!"
Lin Qiang, too, was now filled with resentment toward the Xu Family. He had done everything he could to please the Xu Family and Xu Ying.
Now that something had happened, they refused to lend the father and son a hand.
Under Yu Province's laws, if Lin Tao's crime was proven, everything he had gained in the Planetary Space would come to nothing.
"Since the Xu Family won't help us, they can't blame us for switching allegiances!!"
Lin Qiang pulled Lin Tao along and headed straight toward the southeast of town.
"I already asked around. There are actually two Grandmaster-realm experts guarding the entrance to the Planetary Space here."
"One is that Jia Nan, and the other is called Liu Tianjun!!"
Lin Tao's eyes widened. "Someone from the Mowu Liu Family??"
Lin Qiang nodded as he walked.
The Mowu Liu Family!!
Like the Xu Family, the Liu Family was also a King Family Clan in Mowu City.
Moreover, its ancestral Boil Release kekkei genkai had continued to be passed down, and its strength was immense.
"We'll ask him for help. You have the Boil Release kekkei genkai too, so the Liu Family probably won't turn a blind eye."
Lin Qiang and his son soon met Liu Tianjun.
He was a middle-aged man with piercing, hawklike eyes, his entire body radiating an oppressive presence.
Lin Qiang dared not play any tricks and explained his son's situation in full.
"Guardian Warden Liu, my son obtained the Boil Release kekkei genkai, and he is more than willing to join your Liu Family."
"Although your Liu Family also passes down Boil Release, very few awaken the Boil Release kekkei genkai."
"If we join forces, it'll be a win-win!"
But Liu Tianjun said indifferently, "What you've done is far too serious. Our Liu Family has no reason to defy the rules for you. Do you understand?"
"Besides, you were close to the Xu Family before."
"Offending the Xu Family for the two of you as well? That hardly seems worthwhile!"
Lin Tao's heart instantly sank to rock bottom. He hadn't expected even the Liu Family to refuse to stand up for him.
But Lin Qiang was an old fox. Guardian Warden Liu's words carried another meaning, and he understood that there was still room to turn things around!!
Lin Qiang hurriedly said, "Everything is negotiable. Please help us."
Guardian Warden Liu chuckled. "All you and your son have to do is let me implant the Memory-Concealing Manipulative Sand Technique in you."
