Chapter 836: Bait
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was finally here.
Wang Ye looked at the sky.
This was the first time he had observed the holy spirit up close.
The holy spirit had first appeared on the Rainbow Isles, and he had missed it.
But this time, he caught the opportunity.
It was very different from observing the outer islands.
Standing on the center archipelago and looking at the lifelike holy spirit made it feel as if it was right before his eyes.
He could sense the surging innate energy aura.
No!
“This isn’t pure innate energy!” Wang Ye shivered.
The half of the holy spirit statue appeared in his hand. It was warm to the touch, and there was a faint trace of mysterious energy.
It was exactly the same as the energy hidden in the air!
Wang Ye watched as the holy spirit in the sky dimmed and slowly disappeared into the clouds.
The scattered dots in his heart gradually connected.
Boom!
The sound of a fierce battle could be heard from afar.
“The energy reaction is very strong. The saint jades should have appeared,” Iceheart Master said softly.
“That’s great!” Phoenix Master was overjoyed. “Our luck is not bad. We just happened to encounter the auspicious cloud’s descent.”
“Quick, quick, quick! Snatch them!” Qi Qiqi said excitedly.
Burning Sky Master did not say anything, but his figure was filled with intense fighting spirit.
Wang Ye grabbed each red figure with a hand.
These two were noobs yet they were addicted.
They could both fight above their levels. One had combat prowess comparable to a low-grade Sovereign Venerate while the other was at the threshold of the Venerate level.
But did they stop to think about who was competing for the saint jades?
Peak Devil Venerates and high-grade Demon Venerables, as well as countless human Venerates!
If they really wanted to fight, they could, but there was no need.
If they won, they would become public targets. If they lost, the entire team would be injured even if they were lucky. If they were unlucky, they might even suffer heavy casualties.
There was no need. If the demon race and the devil race won, he could just arrange for Ateli to get a share.
“Business is more important. Let’s look for clues,” Wang Ye said concisely.
Iceheart Master’s beautiful eyes flickered with admiration.
To be able to remain calm and not be greedy under such circumstances, he really had a maturity that surpassed his age and experience.
On the contrary, his senior sister…
“What clues? Clues about the treasure?” Qi Qiqi had not come to her senses yet.
“Ah!” Phoenix Master quivered and said, “The clues Wang Ye mentioned before about the Spirit Race and the Self-Improving Race Alliance!”
Wang Ye nodded. “Let’s hurry over while there’s still some innate energy left.”
“Alright!” Everyone responded.

In the blue sea, the five figures were extremely fast.
Wei Yi was the leader, with Senior Sister Hong Ya and Senior Brother Lu Yicheng on his left and right, and they were unstoppable. At the back were Zhao Ningxin and Zang Dawei.
The five from the human virtual cosmic had already locked onto the enemy’s position and dove accurately the moment the holy spirit appeared.
Soon, they reached the deepest part of the sea.
“As expected, there’s a different world.” A bright light flashed in Wei Yi’s hand, and the sound of metal clashing rang out from the empty seabed.
“I’ll do it!” A giant hammer shining with golden light appeared in Senior Sister Hong Ya’s hand.
As she shouted, her upper body became extremely thick and strong.
The terrifying power was transmitted to the giant golden mallet, causing the earth and the sky to tremble.
Boom!
Brute force.
The seabed shook violently and cracked, revealing what it was hiding.
An underwater cave!
Silver light flashed in Senior Brother Lu Yicheng’s hand, and silver needles rained down from the sky.
Each silver needle caused the water to vibrate and explode, a chain reaction.
They were connected, interweaving into a silver grid that shattered the underwater cave’s defense.
Suddenly–
Buzz! Terrifying poison spread from the cave’s entrance. It corroded all energy and was filled with a terrifying aura. The purple light was like the eyes of a devil.
“Yin Soul Purple Poison.” Wei Yi was prepared.
The spacetime dimensional treasure shifted and formed a protective barrier.
It instantly disintegrated the Poison-Curse race’s special poison.
In the next instant, a transparent light flashed.
Two sword lights shot out from a dimensional gap and attacked Zhao Ningxin and Zang Dawei.
“Hmph, despicable!” Zhao Ningxin’s reaction was quick, and her waist twisted unnaturally, instantly turning from defense to offense.
“Clang!” Zang Dawei’s sturdy body was like tough armor, blocking the attack.
Both fists blasted out, shaking the space dimension.
Chi! Peng!
Two Shadowthorn race experts revealed themselves.
“As expected, it’s the Self-Improving Race Alliance.” Hong Ya’s beautiful eyes were bright as she gritted her teeth.
Before she could finish her sentence, a blood-red light appeared. It condensed a strong killing intent that blotted out the sky.
The perfect realm great path of killing intent enveloped everything. The terrifying killing intent was unstoppable.
Boom!
The eyes of the Bloodkill race’s Venerate were bloodshot.
He alone could hold off the others.
“Human, you’re courting death!”
…
Above the blue sea.
“It disappeared,” Iceheart Master said softly.
“The time is too short.” Wang Ye stopped.
Although he knew the general location, the exact location and range were too large.
Even if they reached the place closest to where the holy spirit appeared, the area was still huge. The other party might even have restrictions or other methods to conceal their aura.
“The Self-Improving Race Alliance is so cunning!” Phoenix Master was furious.
“The saint jade is both bait and a barrier. If I’m not wrong,” Wang Ye said, “Every time the holy spirit appears, it will bring about a special energy fluctuation. That’s why it needs to be covered by auspicious light, which is the innate energy released by the saint jade. Furthermore, the large number of saint jades will attract the attention of the experts, making them ignore other abnormalities.”
Now, he was completely certain.
Because he had the talent of Siphon and had fused with the star core of the Primitive Cosmic Sea’s Treasure Dragon race, he was especially sensitive to mysterious energy.
In fact, the mysterious energy was the “nutrition” that the jade carving light ball needed.
It could be exchanged for evolution points.
However, other experts would easily overlook it.
Who would have thought that the signal-light-like appearance of the holy spirit had hidden secrets?
“What do we do now?” Phoenix Master looked at Wang Ye.
“I was prepared.” Wang Ye smiled.
Everyone was stunned.
When? Weren’t they always together?
“Follow me.” Wang Ye quickly sped away.
He naturally wouldn’t just sit back and wait for the appearance of the holy spirit.
He had super spies here!
The central archipelago was not big.
After confirming that there was a problem with the Spirit race and the Self-Improving Race Alliance, he arranged for Ateli to split her Sky race battle team into smaller teams.
Ateli was in the center, and the other four Sky race heavenly warriors each stood in a corner, waiting for the appearance of the holy spirit.
Unlike him, none of the other forces dared to offend the Sky race experts, even if it was just a single heavenly warrior.
Therefore, they were very safe. They could even receive tributes from the demon race, devil race, and other teams.
After the appearance of the holy spirit, Ateli had already rushed over.
Just in time!
…
They arrived successfully.
Before his team arrived, Wang Ye had already arranged for Ateli to leave to avoid unnecessary encounters.
Looking around, he found himself on an island with lush trees and abundant life force. He was surrounded by a blue ocean.
There were countless small islands around. The greenery was lush, and this place looked no different from the other places in the central archipelago.
The other four looked at Wang Ye.
Thud!
Wang Ye entered the island of life.
The dense life force was shrouded in a faint luster.
There were no immortal herbs or spiritual plants, nor were there any natural treasures.
There was only a pure white drop of water lying there quietly. It was filled with innate energy and powerful vitality.
Its existence made everyone unable to shift their gazes away. They were completely attracted.
“A perfect Great Path gem treasure.” Iceheart Master murmured.
“Oh my god, we’ve encountered a treasure? Junior Brother, you’re rich!” Qi Qiqi exclaimed.
Wang Ye picked up the pure white water droplet.
The pure innate energy was accompanied by strong willpower fluctuations.
This was a willpower-type Great Path gem treasure, and it was a life-type treasure too.
It reminded him of his teacher, who had reached the Supreme level through the high-dimensional heavenly path of life.
It was very familiar.
Swoosh!
Wang Ye immediately became compatible with it.
It was not difficult to do so with his advanced-realm great path of willpower attainments.
He could now forcefully fuse with almost all Great Path gem treasures.
Information flooded into his mind.
[Life Manipulating Will].
A perfect Great Path gem treasure!
It was very rare.
Great Path gem treasures were mostly low, medium, or high grade. Perfect and peak-grade Great Path gem treasures were rare.
There were even fewer treasures of the willpower type.
“Attack and defense as one.” Wang Ye liked it very much.
With the innate great path of life as the foundation, it could defend and attack. It could even withstand a fatal attack.
The only pity was that he was barely compatible with it and could not use its cosmic secret unless he comprehended the innate great path of life.
It was not difficult. With his current realm, coupled with the fact that he had come into contact with the Life Great Path before, he could comprehend the path of life origin very quickly.
After that, with his talent, he would be able to comprehend the innate great path of life in no time.
But for now was not the time to do that. There were more important and urgent things to do.
“I’m dying of laughter. They’re fighting to the death over there for the saint jades, and here, we’ve picked up the most valuable treasure.” Phoenix Master could not help but laugh.
“So is this where the holy spirit was guiding us to, Junior Brother?” Qi Qiqi exclaimed.
“No, this is bait,” Wang Ye said.
The holy spirit was the holy spirit, and the treasure was the treasure.
How could they be lumped together?
“A crafty rabbit has three burrows.” Iceheart Master murmured.
Wang Ye nodded. “The Self-Improving Race Alliance is afraid that someone will discover the secret behind the holy spirit or be nearby by chance. Therefore, every time the holy spirit appears, they will arrange for a special treasure to be unearthed to mislead the public. If we stop now and don’t get to the bottom of it, we’ll be playing right into their hands.”
Everyone was enlightened.
Wang Ye was too meticulous.
“Where is the Self-Improving Race Alliance hiding?” Phoenix Master said hurriedly.
“It’s not on the island. It’s too obvious in midair…” Wang Ye looked at the blue ocean. His eyes sparkled. “If I’m not wrong, it’s probably at the bottom of the sea.”
…
Whoosh!
The five figures went deep into the sea at an extreme speed.
“Junior Brother, there are energy fluctuations!” Qi Qiqi was very sensitive.
“Yes, a battle just happened.” Wang Ye said, “It seems that someone else shares the same interests. They’ve also discovered the secret of the Self-Improving Race Alliance. It saves us a lot of effort. I hope they’re from the human race too.”
Originally, the sea area was large, and it would take a lot of effort to search.
Now, all he needed to do was to sneak in following the traces of battle. He would soon find his target.
In just a moment, the five could already see the deepest part of the sea.
“As expected, there’s another world below.” Wang Ye’s eyes were sharp as he discovered the underwater cave.
The entrance had been destroyed!
