An Unfriendly Arrival, a Formidable Foe
"However, if I develop the technology myself and write down the related theory, there's a very high chance I'll pass the initial review."
"By entering the space of High Tier Civilization Ritual Artifact, one can practice and comprehend the laws, and in this way, by utilizing the internal spatial laws and energy, it is possible to complete this bounty."
Wang An thought about all this, and then he thought about the reward offered. As long as there were initial results, the academy would provide strong support.
It has all the relevant space biological materials and various laboratory resources, and in the end, it can also obtain the resources of the three laws or related secret techniques.
For him, who is about to condense the rudiments of spatial laws, this technology should yield results easily if he focuses on researching it for a few years.
He then continued to peruse this area, including all knowledge related to space, and it wasn't until three days later that he had completely finished reading it.
"Call"
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the other areas on the 33rd floor, such as the beast patterns, artifact crafting, and rune explanations. He knew that reading all the thousands of related books here would take more than a day or two.
"Let's go back first, finish this bounty, and then we can do the others later."
He took the elevator down to the lowest floor and stepped out of the Divine Tree of Wisdom when he saw the Middle Tier expert wearing a ghost mask, whom he seemed to have seen before. It was as if the person had been waiting for him here. His heart sank.
When the masked man saw Wang An come out, his previously gloomy eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask him questions.
"Perfected Heavenly River, I am Cancong Baixiang. Did you exchange for that [Thousand Illusions Myriad Transformations Nebula Water] in the treasure vault? I urgently need it and have been preparing for it for a long time. I'd like to exchange it with you for a waterway resource based on the Ice and Cold Law. What do you say?"
As the person gradually approached, carrying an undisguised pressure of Middle Tier 3, the aura of the illusionary and transformative laws emanating from him gradually enveloped him, making it impossible for outsiders to perceive the situation inside.
Seeing this, Wang An felt a chill run down his spine.
"I'm afraid they're up to no good."
In this situation, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by and wait for his death. He first used his mental thoughts to transmit information into the communicator and contacted the deputy dean of Gaoyang Zhenkong to explain the situation.
He replied in a short while.
"Coming right away."
He then activated his personal sword and his [Thunder Execution Clear Cold Severing Seal Sword Intent], which enveloped his entire body, preventing the still-developing illusion and transformation laws from getting close and invading him.
Seeing his actions, Cancong Baixiang at the chilling sword intent and felt a stinging pain just from observing it. His initial contempt turned into caution.
"No matter what I say today, even if it offends the founder of this Dao, I must obtain that resource. Now, the illusions and transformations I've comprehended only need to be integrated with that resource to condense a profound law through secret techniques."
"In order to break through, I had already used some forbidden techniques, which shortened my lifespan too much. Only that profound law has the potential to extend my lifespan."
Thinking of this, his gaze gradually turned dangerous.
Wang An also noticed the unusual movement and secretly used [Ten Thousand Trees Heavenly Canopy] to accumulate great power, so that if the opponent made a move, he could give him a big blow.
At the same time, he managed to influence the Qi Destiny of this Cancong Baixiang, making him start to consider the consequences of taking action against him here, while speaking.
"Senior Cancong, if you insist on exchanging, I can. But my [Thousand Illusions Myriad Transformations Nebula Water] is a composite resource formed by the convergence of three laws. Water resources based on the Ice and Cold Law are probably not of equal value."
After hearing this, Cancong Baixiang felt that this boy was insatiable.
He was given a composite resource of three laws for free, and he even wanted to exchange it for a resource of the same level. If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient to act within the academy, given his temper, he wouldn't have even mentioned the exchange; he would have just suppressed him directly.
Moreover, exchanging for another Three Laws resource would severely damage his health, even with his wealth.
Thinking of this, I felt extremely envious of the young man who had been so lucky to obtain information about an ascending civilization and received such a generous reward for merely notifying me.
Cancong Baixiang at Wang An, about to agree to go and exchange the items together.
Suddenly, a massive aura of the profound law of suppression descended upon this place.
The laws of transformation and change that had been swirling around the two were instantly suppressed and returned to the body of Cancong Baixiang.
The two figures facing off were revealed here.
As Wang An sensed the profound meaning of the Law of Suppressing the Void, he was amazed, never expecting that the profound meaning of the law that this vice dean had comprehended would also involve space.
Cancong Baixiang never expected that the vice dean would come to handle this matter, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Gaoyang Zhenkong landed between the two, looked at Cancong Baixiang, and said with a serious expression and a hint of anger.
"Master Baixiang, what are you doing? When did our Bronze Human Race ever have the custom of forcing purchases? Moreover, Perfected Heavenly River is a distinguished guest of our race. Are you trying to undermine the unity between our two races?"
Although Cancong Baixiang himself was also a Middle Tier 3 expert, his strength was far inferior to that of the vice dean who had already condensed two profound laws. However, he still tried his best to obtain the resource that the vice dean needed.
He looked pained, but tried his best to suppress it and spoke calmly.
"I'm only missing one [Thousand Illusions Myriad Transformations Nebula Water], which is the key to my refining of the profound mysteries of the laws. I'm willing to exchange it with the Perfected Heavenly River for three equal law resources. Is that feasible?"
Gaoyang Zhenkong didn't say anything more about this. As long as it was a fair exchange and both parties were willing, he wouldn't object.
However, if it involves forced buying and selling or using power to intimidate others, then things won't be that simple.
After much deliberation, Wang An decided to decline.
Because when the main body was refining this resource, in addition to the rapid increase in cultivation and knowledge, the nascent law had a feeling that it was about to undergo a transformation.
At the same time, after absorbing this resource, his own mana increased rapidly, reaching over thirty points, which was not far from the 40 points of mana required to break through to the third level of the Middle Tier.
He had already refined a portion of this resource, and it was extremely compatible with him. It was related to the next step of the transformation of the nascent law, and even the path related to the Golden Nature, so naturally he could not back down.
He then replied in a very serious tone.
"I'm already studying this resource, as it's also related to my path. I think there should be other resources in the treasure vault related to the laws of change; senior, you should go and exchange for them there."
Upon hearing this, Cancong Baixiang glanced at Gaoyang Zhenkong, who was maintaining a fair trade with a serious expression, and knew that there was no possibility of exchange at this point. Without saying anything, he disappeared from the spot.
After he left, Wang An breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Gaoyang Zhengkong stared at his departing figure, his white hair on his head, his expression becoming even more serious, and he spoke to Wang An with a hint of warning.
