Brain Domain Width of 32, Babata Goes Mad!
Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 lay three kilometers beneath the South American Amazon Rainforest as it had been before the Great Nirvana. It was the only known place on Earth where one could obtain a Black God Set.
It was actually a monitoring base Yunmo Planet had left on Earth, used specifically to screen Spirit Readers with potential and bring them into the Yunmo Star Lineage.
The Qiankun-class Intelligent Fighter was swift, and before long, Li Jing arrived at Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 from Yangzhou City.
At the entrance to the ruins was a human garrison base established by the Limits Dojo. It was mainly responsible for registration, security checks, and authorizing entry, as well as compiling casualty statistics.
"Li Jing, welcome to Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9!"
The person in charge of managing the garrison base was an Inspector from the Limits Dojo, stationed here on rotation.
He was the one whom Hong, Chief Hall Master of the Limits Dojo, had personally ordered to be compensated with a Qiankun-class Intelligent Fighter.
Li Jing's information had long since circulated across the desks of the Inspectors, so this one recognized him at once.
Li Jing hadn't even joined the War God Palace yet, and he was already rushing to challenge Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9?
He really wasn't willing to waste a single moment!
Apart from Spirit Readers, who received special treatment, martial artists faced a considerable mortality rate when entering Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9. The average pass rate was not high.
Who among those who entered hadn't made every possible preparation?
This was the first time he had seen someone like Li Jing, who had rushed over as soon as his War God information had been verified.
But when he remembered that Li Jing himself was a super genius who had defied common sense by reaching War God Level in just one week, the Inspector felt relieved.
Geniuses couldn't be judged by ordinary standards!
Li Jing nodded in greeting to the Inspector. After a brief conversation, he completed his registration and identity verification and received translation software.
It could translate the language inside Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 into the Chinese he knew.
As for the Black God Set, which was forbidden inside Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9, Li Jing had put it into his Space Ring back aboard the fighter. Now he wore only a series-nine combat suit.
"Li Jing, follow the passage all the way in. At the end, you'll find a glowing mirror. That's the true entrance to Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9. Once you go in, there'll be no turning back.
"After entering the ruins, there are two kinds of passages: type A for martial artists and type B for Spirit Readers.
"You're a martial artist, so take the type A passage.
"The average mortality rate for martial artists entering Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 is 72%. There's still time if you want to back out."
The Inspector on duty cautioned Li Jing with a solemn expression.
Li Jing nodded to show he understood, then headed deeper into the passage without hesitation.
Watching Li Jing's departing figure disappear, the Inspector on duty shook his head slightly.
Was Li Jing a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, or did he have something else to rely on?
I hope he makes it out of Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 safely!
The Inspector on duty thought to himself. He didn't really approve of Li Jing entering Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9.
After all, if Li Jing was going in only for a Black God Set, there was no need at all.
With Li Jing's talent, he could have obtained a Black God Set unconditionally through other channels. There was no reason to put himself in danger.
After all, Li Jing wasn't a Spirit Reader who could receive preferential treatment in Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9.
Since Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 had opened, there had never been a single case of a Spirit Reader being injured or killed there.
Even Luo Feng, back then, had merely been trapped inside for one year and three months.
By comparison, martial artists were treated far worse. The casualty rate was as high as 72%, making many War Gods turn pale at the mention of Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9.
As a result, although all War Gods could enter Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9, only a few peak High-level War God martial artists possessed the Black God Sets produced within.
Meanwhile, Li Jing followed the passage to its end, where a glowing mirror came into view.
It was the true entrance to Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9.
Li Jing stepped inside. A hazy, multicolored light enveloped him, and an ancient voice rang out after being translated.
"Congratulations. Your Brain Domain Width is 32, greater than 18, meeting the requirement to open the Elite Passage. This is the second time this passage has opened in 5,000 years."
After the voice spoke, Li Jing was sent into the Elite Passage, a maze laid out in a looping structure of nine-way intersections. At the same time, eighteen black-robed figures, each as strong as a peak High-level War God, appeared to surround and hunt him down.
But against Li Jing's strength, which was comparable to Planetary Level, they caused little trouble.
Even though the black-robed figures could liquefy and recover after being killed, all he had to do was expend a little more energy and kill them again.
This allowed Li Jing to stroll through the maze's passages at his leisure, unlike Luo Feng, who had fled for his life back then.
After passing through an unknown number of nine-way intersections, Li Jing was suddenly bound by beams of light from the ground and trapped in a crystal cube. He was then transported to a dedicated secret chamber to undergo the death trial.
Having long been prepared for this, Li Jing did not resist and let it happen.
After he entered the dedicated secret chamber, the Crystal Man Intelligent Life responsible for maintaining the screening base appeared and handed Li Jing a copy of the Controller 312 Forms Secret Technique.
The Crystal Man told Li Jing that he had to raise his Mental Power Amplitude to sixteenfold within three years to break open the crystal cube, obtain his rewards, and leave.
After receiving the Controller 312 Forms, Li Jing immediately immersed himself in it, greedily absorbing its nourishment like a sponge.
His solid foundation, with a Mental Power Amplitude already as high as fourteenfold, and the formidable talent and comprehension of a star-domain-level genius allowed him to practice the Controller 312 Forms Secret Technique with ease.
Watching Li Jing sink into cultivation, a trace of humanlike complexity flashed through the Crystal Man Intelligent Life's eyes.
If Yunmo Planet could still truly be contacted, it would probably send a spaceship immediately and without hesitation to bring a super genius with a Brain Domain Width of 32 like him to headquarters.
Unfortunately, without a ship from headquarters to pick him up, even a genius like Li Jing could only squander his life on an indigenous planet like Earth.
Originally, none of this had anything to do with the Crystal Man. After all, it was only an ordinary intelligence.
But who could have expected that, over the long years, it would develop a trace of human emotion and transform into a low-level Intelligent Life?
This also gave it a different sort of feeling toward Yunmo Planet and Earth.
A day later, Li Jing achieved a sixteenfold Mental Power Amplitude and broke open the crystal cube.
From the Crystal Man Intelligent Life, he obtained a Black God Set, an Auxiliary Optical Computer, a Tier Three Soaring Heavens Manual, and a Yunmo Star Token that was of little use.
Under the astonished gaze of the Inspector on duty, Li Jing left Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9, sold the equipment and materials he had previously obtained from card draws but could not use, and hunted Lord-level Monsters on a large scale in exchange for Huaxia Currency.
He drew the Black Rock C6 Model Spaceship, along with some guard robots, treasures that could be sold for Black Dragon Coins, some Ganwu Coins in cash, and a star map of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
All the prerequisites for going into the universe had been fulfilled. Li Jing had no interest in lingering at Apprentice Level, so he prepared to break through to Planetary Level.
As Li Jing prepared to break through, on Biyan Star...
As the highest-level Intelligent Life in the Yunmo Star Lineage, Babata naturally knew everything that had happened in Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9.
At this moment, Babata had already gone mad.
