Chapter 1203: Is He Really That Amazing?
Chapter 1203: Is He Really That Amazing?
In the blink of an eye, another twelve cosmic years had passed.
This time they entered the Hai Pig Realm, where the chaos-fierce beast kings were astonishingly defensive. Compared to the Xu Dog Realm, it was much harder to kill them.
Still, they managed to accumulate fifteen trillion evolution points.
Another twelve cosmic years ended, and they entered the Rat Realm.
"Are we not hunting chaos-fierce beast kings here?" Lan Diewu inquired.
"Sister, you've forgotten that the next one is Chou Niu Realm," Lan Yingti reminded softly.
"Oh!" Lan Diewu suddenly realized.
Engrossed in honing skills and combat, she had momentarily forgotten this.
"It's not that we won't hunt them, we'll stay in the Rat Realm for six or seven years to adapt to the environment, then explore the Chou Niu Realm," Wang Ye explained.
The Chou Niu Realm was one of the three Earthly Branch Realms where opportunities and rare divine cores had appeared.
So by staying in the Rat Realm, the next spin of the roulette would take them into the Chou Niu Realm.
There, the chance of encountering opportunities again was extremely slim.
Entering the Chou Niu Realm early, and then when the time comes, shifting to the Tiger Realm, you'd at least have a one in nine chance.
"Have you found any clues?" the Slaughter Emperor asked, looking at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye pondered, "There are some, but all are piecemeal. From them, it's currently impossible to confirm anything."
Qionghua Divine asked, "Such as?"
Wang Ye explained, "The anomaly of the chaos-fierce beast kings; they are natives here. If there is an opportunity for an outbreak, even if they don't know, their intuition should be slightly stronger, but it's hard to say."
Qionghua Divine nodded.
Intuition, after all, is an elusive perception.
"What else?" Lan Diewu asked curiously.
Wang Ye said, "The places where the most powerful beings of various tribes gather, especially the Earthly Branch Realm where chaos gods cluster. They arrived early, some even experiencing two to three rounds of opportunities, possessing far more intelligence and information than we do."
Qionghua Divine softly hummed.
Without any clues themselves, this was indeed not a bad approach.
Especially since some tribes have exceptional exploration and sensory abilities.
"What about the Earthly Branch Realm itself?" Qionghua Divine asked. "Can anything be discerned from it?"
"Nothing unusual," Wang Ye suddenly remembered something. "Right, Sister Qiong, you mentioned before seeing components of the Dongxi Divine Pearl in the You Chicken Realm?"
Qionghua Divine replied, "Yes, it was because the energy emitted by the components of the Dongxi Divine Pearl triggered a dramatic change in the You Chicken Realm, resulting in the appearance of multiple divine cores and rare divine cores."
"So, both divine cores and rare divine cores were originally possessed by the Earthly Branch Realm?" Lan Diewu pondered aloud.
"Of course," Wang Ye smiled. "These are the unique treasures nurtured by the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm over countless eras. The Dongxi Divine Pearl components merely served to unearth them." Your journey continues on empire
"Where did the components of the Dongxi Divine Pearl come from?" the Slaughter Emperor inquired.
"That's what I want to know," Wang Ye looked at Qionghua Divine. "Was someone controlling it, Sister Qiong, or did it appear on its own? What was the situation when the Dongxi Divine Pearl components appeared in the You Chicken Realm at that time?"
Qionghua Divine recalled, "I saw no cultivator controlling it. The Dongxi Divine Pearl components suddenly appeared in the sky, emitting dazzling light, then triggered intense changes in the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm."
"They suddenly appeared?" Wang Ye thought deeply. "At the moment the roulette spun?"
Qionghua Divine nodded.
"Had you just entered the You Chicken Realm from the Monkey Realm then?" Wang Ye asked.
Qionghua Divine pondered, "… I suppose."
Wang Ye said, "What happened next, who took the Dongxi Divine Pearl components?"
Qionghua Divine shook her head, "Never saw it again."
Wang Ye nodded.
That is to say, it's very likely that no cultivator took the Dongxi Divine Pearl components.
"Does anyone know what happened in the subsequent opportunities?" Wang Ye asked.
"Yu Hang likely experienced one firsthand; he knows the details," Qionghua Divine said.
"I'll ask him," Wang Ye's consciousness contacted Yan Yu.
The communication with Yu Hang went smoothly.
He didn't covet knowledge for himself; he fully recounted the whole sequence of the opportunity outbreak.
It was exactly as Qionghua Divine had first witnessed.
"The components of the Dongxi Divine Pearl, likely the same one," Wang Ye concluded after a moment of thought.
"It might be controlled by the same cultivator."
"But it could also be naturally formed."
The Slaughter Emperor asked, "So, what should we do now?"
A white jade pearl appeared in Wang Ye's hand.
Instantly, Lan Diewu and Lan Yingti's eyes widened.
This is!?
"First ascertain how the opportunity is formed, then decide the next step," Wang Ye responded calmly.

Wuma Realm.
Yu Hang and a party of five were searching for clues everywhere.
"Has Wang Ye contacted you?" Zuo Qinqin asked.
Yu Hang hummed softly, "He asked about some details of the last opportunity outbreak."
Sun Yu said, "He must be trying to deduce the next opportunity point."
"If only it were that simple," Zuo Qinqin pursed her lips. "With so many tribal powerhouses and chaos gods clueless, they are distressed in every single Earthly Branch Realm."
Yu Hang said, "Having an idea is a good thing. After all, we can't always rely on luck. The Earthly Branch Chaos Realm is so vast, waiting for the opportunity to burst and then heading there, we simply won't have enough time."
Sun Yu asked, "Should we continue as originally planned?"
Yu Hang answered, "Without definitive clues, following the majority is the best option, especially following the Dongyin Primitive Clan led by the East Divine Alliance. They acquired the last rare divine core, and their information is certainly much more detailed than ours."
…
Searching the Twelve Earthly Branches Realm.
Since he had decided to do so, Wang Ye was going all out.
Because once the location of the opportunity outbreak is chosen incorrectly, it could basically mean a missed chance.
Aside from some beings possessing special divine items or chaos extreme path divinities, other powerhouses can't teleport into another Earthly Branch Realm.
Even if familiar with the terrain, it would still take some time.
If it's several Earthly Branch Realms away, there's absolutely no hope.
To vie for divine cores and rare divine cores, taking initiative is crucial!
A difference of a hair, lost by a mile.
"Still no perception?" Qionghua Divine asked.
Wang Ye shook his head.
His willpower had now grown strong enough to burst into the level of the Chaos Gods.
He could barely integrate into the white jade pearl, a part of the Dongxi Divine Pearl, and through it, sense the fluctuations of other components.
But having traversed all the Twelve Earthly Branches Realms, there was no response whatsoever.
This method had been taught to him by Sister Qiong.
"The component of the Dongxi Divine Pearl is probably not naturally existing," said Qionghua Divine. "If it was hidden in any Earthly Branch Realm, we should have sensed its presence by now."
"It's more likely that it was stored inside the internal cosmic by some powerful being; hence, it is undetectable," she added.
Wang Ye pondered, "But I always feel that it is still unclaimed."
"Why?" asked Qionghua Divine, curious.
"Intuition," Wang Ye replied.
He could not possibly tell Sister Qiong that although he couldn't detect his component of the Dongxi Divine Pearl, the jade ball of light had slight vibrations.
Every time the wheel turned, a resonance occurred.
Although unaware of what the connection was between the jade ball of light and the Dongxi Divine Pearl component,
he trusted his intuition more than deductions.
"Is there a possibility..." Wang Ye pondered, "that this piece of the Dongxi Divine Pearl doesn't exist in the Twelve Earthly Branches Chaos Realm?"
"You mean, it only appears when certain opportunities are triggered?" Qionghua Divine asked.
"I'm not sure," Wang Ye replied, "but—"
During their conversation, the ground shook again.
To everyone else, this had become the norm.
Only a shift in location occurred, with no significant changes.
However, to Wang Ye, this time was different.
The brightness of the jade ball of light was brighter than ever before, and the resonance felt extremely strong, almost like a mysterious fit and call.
Was it coming?
No.
The shuddering sensation vanished, and the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm resumed its cycle.
Wang Ye did not witness the omens as Qionghua Divine had mentioned, and no opportunity had erupted.
"Rat Realm?" Wang Ye wondered internally.
No.
Because this was the second time he had been transferred here.
The first time, like with the other eleven Earthly Branches Realms, was the same.
The anomaly that had suddenly appeared in the jade ball of light seemed more like a premonition.
"The opportunity is coming," Wang Ye said.
Everyone's gaze turned towards Wang Ye, filled with confusion.
He didn't explain, nor could he explain.
Even as the cycle ended, his jade ball of light still flickered faintly, like the residual waves after a tide.
"Let's check the next Earthly Branch Realm," Wang Ye began to engage.
Chou Niu Realm, Tiger Realm, Mao Rabbit Realm, Chen Long Realm, Si Snake Realm...
Familiar with the terrain, Wang Ye quickly cycled through each Earthly Branch Realm; the jade ball of light hardly changed.
Until—
Monkey Realm!
Wham—
Familiar fluctuations!
The familiar brightness of the jade ball of light!
Even without cycling, the sensation was clear!
This was the place!
"Found it," Wang Ye revealed a smile.
...
Wuma Realm, Yanluo Valley.
Many Chaos Gods awaited.
Because, by the next cycle, they were to be transported to Sheep Realm.
The territory after the transport was very close to Monkey Realm; if the opportunity erupted in Monkey Realm, they could enter it quickly.
Everyone was sharp.
The difference between a one-in-nine chance and a two-in-nine chance was significant.
"What's up, Hang?" Zuo Qinqin asked.
Yu Hang frowned slightly, "Wang Ye sent me to Sheep Realm, he said the next opportunity is likely to erupt in Monkey Realm."
"How does he know?" inquired Zuo Qinqin, curious.
Yu Hang shook his head. "He didn't say."
Sun Yu said, "But what if it's not? If Sheep Realm follows Monkey Realm and You Chicken Realm, we'd essentially be cutting our chances in half."
Zuo Qinqin said, "But if what Wang Ye says is true, we can be a step ahead and seize the initiative."
Four gazes fell on Yu Hang, who remained silent.
After a long moment of contemplation.
"Let's stick to the plan," Yu Hang said. "Although Wang Ye owes me a favor, I still believe in our original judgment."
"Even if the opportunity does erupt in Monkey Realm, we would only be slightly slower than others."
"We'd still have a great chance."
"Alright," everyone agreed in unison.
...
Sheep Realm.
Wang Ye and his companions waited patiently.
The time for the next cycle was drawing nearer.
The four were very curious why Wang Ye was so certain that the fourth opportunity would erupt in Monkey Realm.
Was he really that divinely intuitive?
Rumble!
The ground shook violently.
An anomaly reappeared!
But this time, it was completely different from before!
Wang Ye's eyes sparkled brightly, feeling the astounding vibrations released from the jade ball of light.
It had finally arrived!
