Chapter 1266: Origin of the Divine Jade
[66. Wang Ye's Team]: Gun Genius, Nan Zhinv, Yu Hang, Zuo Qinqin.
Wang Ye's consciousness immersed itself into the captain's jade talisman, integrating with it.
The jade talisman contained a special energy, each team member possessing one.
If I'm not mistaken, it must have a protective function, preventing accidental injuries or deaths during combat.
After all, all the participants are the future of the Human Great Clan Alliance.
As for its function, it's somewhat similar to a communication divine item.
The team name and current leaderboard were clearly displayed above.
Beyond that, there was nothing else.
"Really stingy, huh? They couldn't even provide a map?" Wang Ye glanced below the leaderboard, clearly marked with a few bold characters—
Updated every ten years.
Seriously, the Infinite Genius Garden's intelligence system is far from smart!
Wang Ye studied it for a while and finally confirmed.
The jade talisman, utterly devoid of information!
Especially regarding the key Divine Jade, it provided no information at all.
Completely clueless about its location, how to obtain it, or even what the Divine Jade looks like.
Clearly, the participants were expected to figure it out on their own.
"Where do we head now, captain?" Nan Zhinv completed integrating with the jade talisman.
"First, we determine the source of the Divine Jade," Wang Ye said, "then decide our next move."
"Any ideas?" Yu Hang looked towards Wang Ye.
"From the last hint given by Yu Qing True Divine, the Divine Jade should be related to combat confrontation," Wang Ye paused, "or rather, that's one of the methods to obtain the Divine Jade."
Buzz! The pink long gun in Gun Genius's hands vibrated slightly.
Combat Prowess, faintly visible.
Wang Ye glanced at her and shook his head, "Infinite Divine Jade acquisition is of the highest difficulty, forget about it. If we fail, the consumption is huge; it would be hard for us to recover in a hundred years."
"I... can." Gun Genius's voice was very soft, carrying a fearless determination.
Wang Ye and she looked into each other's eyes.
Though somewhat socially awkward, she was a girl with courage and ideas.
"Mission first," Wang Ye said, "Since it's team combat, we should focus on progressing based on that standard first, leaving the challenge against Yu Qing True Divine until we can safely advance."
Gun Genius didn't speak, but her pink long gun stopped vibrating.
"First, the Earth Level?" Yu Hang also understood.
"Right, level by level, gradually getting used to the rules, adapt as necessary," Wang Ye said. "Among approximately 17,000 participants, only 200 teams of 1000 people will finally advance; I estimate we need to acquire many Divine Jades of the Heavenly Level, or an Ultimate Divine Jade, to possibly pass the selection."
"So, what do we do now?" Nan Zhinv was somewhat impatient.
"Look for teams from the Infinite Genius Garden," Wang Ye's eyes were sharp, "If my guess is correct, defeating them very likely gives us Divine Jades."
"What?" Apart from Gun Genius, the other three were slightly stunned.
However, everyone was quite intelligent and immediately grasped the idea.
"No wonder the participants from Infinite Genius Garden haven't appeared!" Nan Zhinv realized.
"They are familiar with Infinite Genius Garden and just recently ranked within the top 1000," Wang Ye said. "Using them as benchmarks, defeating them to obtain Divine Jade is certainly one of the methods."
"If it really was just about top ranking advancing directly to the grand selection, Taiching Ninth Generation, Red Beauty Meng Han, and others would have been in long ago," Yu Hang said. "Being exempt from the test based on Infinite Genius Garden level would be too unfair."
Wang Ye smiled, "For the talented powerhouses of Infinite Genius Garden, it's also a significant challenge, and even—"
"They, too, are within the team rankings."
…
Led by Red Beauty Meng Han, the team from the Lover Clan, moved swiftly.
As one of the top five clans among the 1699 Chaos Human Races, the Lover Clan had a considerable number of talented powerhouses participating in the Divine People Hall selection.
It was easily possible to form a team.
"Meng Han sister, what are we going to do now?" said a young girl, her speech slightly juvenile yet untainted.
But her talent potential was in no way inferior to Red Beauty Meng Han, being one of the only two from the Lover Clan to enter the top hundred rankings of Talent Garden.
Ni Changjing, ranked 77.

"Look for teams from Infinite Genius Garden," the graceful voice of Red Beauty Meng Han sounded. "There are 1000 slots for the grand advancement, and Infinite Genius Garden is naturally included; their absence indicates they possess Divine Jade."
"Defeating them would grant us that."
"That's kind of unfair, they start with Divine Jade," another Lover Clan talent, Luo Bai, radiantly said.
"On the contrary, they are at a disadvantage," Red Beauty Meng Han incisively said, "As time passes, many teams will reach this conclusion, making the teams from Infinite Genius Garden a prime target."
"With only a hundred years, it's extremely tight; there's not much recovery possible."
"Once they are considerably weakened from excessive consumption, it will be a disaster for the Infinite Genius Garden teams."
"In contrast, our teams, which lack Divine Jade, can move freely with more initiative."
Everyone nodded.
Red Beauty Meng Han was the pride of the Lover Clan.
Not only did she possess formidable strength, but she also had exceptional wisdom.
"Nevertheless, as long as the teams from Infinite Genius Garden hold out for ten years, many crises will be mitigated," Red Beauty Meng Han said.
After ten years, the leaderboard inside the jade talisman would update.
At that time, a new scenario would unfold.
However, these ten years would be trying for the powerhouses of Infinite Genius Garden.
"Meng Han sister, since you know how to get Divine Jade, what were you thinking about just now?" The sharp-eyed little girl, Ni Changjing, asked.
"I was pondering the pattern of this grand selection, which is unprecedented," Red Beauty Meng Han said. "Previous selections by Divine People Hall focused on individual comprehensive abilities, particularly Combat Prowess and potential."
"But this time, it unexpectedly started with team combat in the first round of the grand selection, a historical first."
"I believe there must be reasons behind this."

Whoosh!
Wang Ye and his team moved swiftly through Infinite Genius Garden.
As the 66th team formed for this selection, along with the inclusion of the sides entering the selection, the surroundings were very sparse.
The vastness of the Infinite Genius Garden seemed like an empty high-dimensional cosmic.
Despite numerous buildings, places for cultivation, and energy ripples, not a single person could be found.
This further confirmed his speculation.
"Divine Jade, it must be in the hands of the Infinite Genius Garden's team."
"However, the ways to obtain Divine Jade are clearly not limited to this one."
"Eh?"
"What is this?"
Wang Ye slowed his pace, looking toward a dazzling open-air treasure vault ahead.
The entire vault formed a circular ring structure, one ring connected to another, divided into four sections each with different colors and energy grids.
There was no barrier, but it was controlled by an invisible willpower.
"Wow, so many treasures!" exclaimed Zuo Qinqin.
"What a special place," remarked Nan Zhinv, equally astonished.
Gun Genius and Yu Hang quietly watched.
Wang Ye also moved forward step by step, starting from the outermost layer.
Each layer was filled with all kinds of treasures.
Some were heavenly and earthly treasures, some were divine items, others rare materials, or high-grade fortune divine artifacts.
Everything one could think of.
All the treasures were sealed within a circular energy grid.
Below it, the traits, uses, detailed explanations, and most importantly —
The price.
Not exchanged with chaos crystals, nor was it the highest-value Primitive Unit.
Instead, it was the Divine Jade just mentioned by Yu Qing True Divine!
In Infinite Genius Garden, treasures were exchanged for Divine Jade.
"Heavenly Primordial Flower, 1 Earth Divine Jade."
"Reverse Life Divine Medicine, 2 Earth Divine Jade."
"Mo Lan Eternal Tree, 4 Earth Divine Jade."
…
Wang Ye looked at each item, his gaze focused.
The lowest grade of treasure was all Primitive Fruit.
Extremely precious!
This place was a bit like a small market.
It was likely that cultivators of Infinite Genius Garden placed the treasures they didn't need here, setting a fixed price for them to be sold.
Because it's sold in very small quantities.
In the outermost layer, all exchanges were made with Earth Divine Jade.
In the middle layers, the grade of treasures advanced, exchanged with Heavenly God Jade.
More rare heavenly and earthly treasures and Primitive Fruits appeared.
Higher-grade fortune divine artifacts and divine items could be seen everywhere, and their prices were higher.
Wang Ye soon stopped walking, his eyes sparkling.
Because he saw something distinct.
A faint white glow, familiar energy fluctuations, a very noticeable round shape—
The Dongxi Divine Pearl's main component!
"5 Heavenly God Jade," Wang Ye saw its price.
A bit expensive!
But definitely worth the price.
If there was a chance, he could take it.
Wang Ye was quite confident about securing 5 Heavenly God Jade for himself.
However…
"If there is a main component of the Dongxi Divine Pearl, could there also be…"
His eyes moved toward the innermost two layers.
Entering with hopeful emotions.
The number of treasures in the Ultimate Layer was much less, and much more valuable!
The prices were as firm as ever!
The grade of the treasures went a level higher!
Wang Ye discovered a Level 5 Divine Item, a perfect Fortune Artifact, and the object of his desires—
"Ultimate Core!" Wang Ye fought to control his excitement, keeping his expression calm.
A bright Ultimate Core was just quietly lying there within the energy grid, exceptionally attractive.
For him, it was far superior to the other treasures in this layer!
Despite its very high price!
3 Ultimate Divine Jade!
But it was a must-have!
Wang Ye's eyes briefly gleamed.
Other items he could let go, including the Heavenly Level main components.
But the Ultimate Core, he was determined to acquire!
After all, main components might not integrate, but an Ultimate Core would integrate 100%!
Every integration would significantly increase his strength!
Definitely not to be missed! Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire
In the innermost layer, treasures exchanged with Infinite Divine Jade seemed quite sparse.
Only one Level 6 Divine Item and three Peak Fortune Artifacts lay there, isolated.
Though interested, Wang Ye felt it pale in comparison to his desire for the Ultimate Core, a difference of eighteen thousand light years.
After viewing, he promptly left.
But the atmosphere among the group of five had clearly changed.
Everyone seemed to have found a treasure they desired, setting a clearer goal.
"This is not a traditional vault," said Wang Ye. "Infinite Genius Garden should have other treasure vaults, various unique facilities. Besides promotion requirements, Divine Jade is also an exchange unit."
"I can hardly wait to fight," Nan Zhinv eagerly chimed in.
"Don't worry, it will be soon," Wang Ye assuredly smiled. "After coming this far, I already can deduce a lot of information."
"There really isn't much left hidden about the Infinite Genius Garden's team."
"Prepare for combat, and secure our first batch of Divine Jade!"
