Chapter 344 - Changes that Affected the Entire Universe

“Ten…”

In the Divine Nature Palace, some of the beast tamers had already gave up on cultivation.

Everyone stared motionlessly at the list above Lin Shiru’s head.

Only several minutes had passed since the trial of the Divine Nature Palace began.

But in that short span of several minutes, Ye Xuan had already amassed ten of the eleven treasure chests in all of the trial grounds.

Not another had even laid their hands on one.

In addition, Ye Xuan was collecting these treasure chests at the rate of one treasure chest per every half minute, which made them feel even more astonished.

They absolutely could not fathom how such a freak of nature could exist in this world.

At that point, they were already numbed by his success.

“Shoo!”

“Shoo!”

Then, several beams of light condensed and fell from the sky.

But this time the lights did not land on Lin Shiru’s list.

Instead, they landed on Yao Hongyi’s list.

Over the course of time, Yao Hongyi gained the most from the trial grounds aside from Lin Shiru.

Even though her progress could not compare with Lin Shiru’s, she was extremely satisfied with Wan Jinghui’s performance in the trial grounds.

She felt that choosing this fellow was not a bad choice at all.

Sure. He had a very cautionary approach to things.

He was neither too fast nor slow and was very capable as well.

Actually, she had only met the beast tamer Wan Jinghui very recently.

They were similar in age.

And he was just a pretty average guy before.

But after his encounters at the Templars of the Ancient God, he became very powerful.

But the reason she chose Wan Jinghui was not because of his strength.

She did not know exactly why, but when she first saw Wan Jinghui, she felt that she should spend the rest of her life with him.

From a distance, all the beast tamers were further agitated by Yao Hongyi’s success.

They did not understand what was going on with the people from the Cerulean Planet.

First there was Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru and now Yao Hongyi too.

Yao Hongyi’s talent was not even considered great among them.

But her assisting trial taker seemed very strong.

In just several minutes, he had already accumulated a lot of contribution points for Yao Hongyi.

Even though he could not compare with Ye Xuan, he had greatly surpassed any other assisting trial takers.

This filled everyone at the Divine Nature Palace with a wave of jealousy.

“Shoo!”

At the same time, in the trial grounds…

Ye Xuan sat on the branches of the Tree of World as they sped hurriedly toward the valley containing the final purple treasure chest.

Even though he had collected all the other treasure chests, his force of habits simply would not allow him leave this one alone.

“Hmm?”

As he darted through the forest, a thought emerged, and he saw Wan Jinghui through the Tidal Treasure Snail’s real-time mini map.

At that moment, the average-looking and soft spoken Wan Jinghui was facing an encirclement of three giant black eagles.

From Ye Xuan’s senses, he could tell that these three giant black eagles were all mid diamond-level monsters.

As they lunged in front and behind of Wan Jinghui, Wan Jinghui extended his hand and summoned a phoenix-looking Ember Firebird. It flew out from his body and instantly engulfed the three giant black eagles in flame.

These three mid diamond-level giant black eagles were defeated and slayed in just one strike.

“This power…”

Ye Xuan was surprised.

From his senses, the Ember Firebird Wang Jinghui had just summoned was a peak diamond-level beast.

He could not sense its specific beast grade.

But seeing that it instantly slayed three mid diamond-level giant black eagles, it had to be pretty strong.

“I did not think Jinghui’s power was this strong.”

Ye Xuan recalled that before they entered here, Wan Jinghui said that he would take him to train together. Now he knew that he really had the capability to back up his talk.

“I really wonder what type of beast his Ember Firebird is.”

Ye Xuan shook his head and prepared to continue his journey with the Tree of World.

Even though he encountered Wan Jinghui, he did not have the intention to go over and greet him.

“Hmm?”

Just as he was about to leave, Ye Xuan noticed that as Wan Jinghui slayed the three giant black eagles, a golden dragon shadow flickered across him. Wan Jinghui furrowed his eyebrows and looked toward Ye Xuan’s direction.

“What is he doing? Has he discovered me?”

A light flashed across Ye Xuan’s eyes. He was deeply surprised.

Since he entered into agreement with the Tidal Treasure Snail and obtained the ability to use its real-time mini map, he had never been discovered by anyone else.

Back when the Tidal Treasure Snail was only black iron level, he could already examine Lin Shiru up close without inciting a reaction from her.

Then, as the Tidal Treasure Snail’s level grew stronger, he could observe master-level beast tamers on its real-time mini map without being discovered.

But what was up with Wan Jinghui just then?

After sensing Wan Jinghui had discovered that he was being observed , Ye Xuan immediately changed the coordinates on the Tidal Treasure Snail’s real-time mini map past Wan Jinghui’s location and stopped withdrew his senses.

If no one else knew about his secret, then he could utilize the Tidal Treasure Snail’s real-time mini map to his heart’s content.

But if other people found out, he would have no choice but to stop, especially since he personally knew Wan Jinghui.

“Ye Xuan, is that you?” Wan Jinghui thought to himself.

Hundreds of miles away from Ye Xuan, Wan Jinghui felt that the sensation of being observed had disappeared.

And as he thought of Ye Xuan, a bitter grin formed across his face.

Originally, he had wanted to secure a treasure chest for Yao Hongyi from the trial.

But judging from how things were, it was probably not possible for him anymore.

“How is this guy training? He is so damn strong!”

He sighed.

But his competitive flame in his heart burned every brighter.

Back when he was just an ordinary fellow, he never slacked off from cultivation.

Now that he had some lucky encounters, he strived to work even harder.

“Feng Xiangming, Zhuo Bufan, Fang Luotian, Qi Liangcai…”

At the same time, as Ye Xuan withdrew his senses from Wan Jinghui, these names could not help but pop up in his mind.

These people were all beast tamers he knew back in Xia. He had once thought decently of their talents.

But now it seemed like that none of them could compare with Wan Jinghui.

Even that jovial fellow he met only once, Zhuo Bufan, with his pig -related talent, probably cannot compare with Wan Jinghui.

Since they parted ways at Bujin Mountain last time, he had not seen Zhuo Bufan. Ye Xuan wondered how he was doing now.

And regarding Feng Xiangming of Zhongzhou University, the man Ye Xuan used to idolize, he probably had just entered platinum level right now.

Ye Xuan had surpassed him a long time ago.

He had also surpassed Fang Luotian.

But the several beasts Fang Luotian owned had tremendous potential.

And the evolutionary formulas of those beasts.

Plus his entire family was master level, so his cultivation speed was by no means slow.

But they all paled in comparison to Ye Xuan.

And regarding Qi Liangcai, Ye Xuan only thought of him for a moment.

Qi Liangcai was a very energetic fellow who was always up for a challenge.

But his strength level would be considered very lackluster by the current standard.

“Let’s go!”

Then, Ye Xuan commanded the Tree of World to carry him onward.

“Why do I always feel like someone is speaking ill of me.”

At the same time, as Ye Xuan concluded his brief thoughts of Qi Liangcai…

Far away at the Jiangzhou University, Qi Liangcai sat dazed in front of the window. He gazed up toward the sky, furrowed his brow, and muttered, “Could it possibly be that Ye Xuan fellow?”

His sixth sense was really strong.

And then Ye Xuan’s name came to mind.

“Platinum level.”

Having thought of Ye Xuan, his cultivation level also came to mind.

He would probably have to be in his sixth year of university before he could attain this level.

“That freak of nature!” Qi Liangcai muttered in his heart.

“Even if I, Qi Liangcai, can’t catch up to you right now. Sooner or later, I will make something great of myself.”

And then his delusional thinking started again.

Numerous images churned in his mind, and he began daydreaming.

He thought about the day he would reign over the world, establish his Supreme King’s Court, and command his Three-Legged Bluefire Crow to conquer far and wide.

Then he summoned the miniaturized Three-Legged Bluefire Crow, who had just evolved from the Three-Legged Hellfire Crow not long ago.

Looking at the Three-Legged Bluefire Crow, he murmured softly, “Still does not feel strong enough. If only you could evolve into the Three-legged Solarfire Crow or the Three-legged Goldfire Crow. ”

“Screech!”

Hearing Qi Liangcai’s ramble to himself, the Three-Legged Bluefire Crow screeched and looked toward him as if questioning what he was complaining about.

“Just kidding. Just kidding.”

Qi Liangcai let out a dry cackle and returned his attention to the distant sky.

For the past several days, he felt a strange sense of unease.

But it did not feel like something bad had happened.

Yet that something deeply important to him was going to happen.

Aside, the Three-Legged Bluefire Crow saw that Qi Liangcai turned away and lightly fluttered its wings.

And as it fluttered, a light strand of golden fire crackled across its body.

In that moment, Qi Liangcai was not the only person who would stare subconsciously toward the sky.

Li Yanting, who had entered Jiangzhou University the same year as Ye Xuan, also experienced the same sensation.

All across Xia, more than a couple dozen people have often stared up toward the sky in the past two days.

In other countries on the Cerulean Planet, there were about a dozen like so.

Even, the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

And the Tianyuan Star Zone that encompassed ten galaxies.

And the portion of the universe they inhabited…

“Shoo!”

Meanwhile at the trial grounds of the Divine Nature Temple, Ye Xuan was unaware of all these outside developments.

After hopping through space several times on the Tree of World, he finally came to the location of the final treasure chest three hundred miles away.

“So many bugs…”

After he arrived, he extended his senses through the Tidal Treasure Snail.

He found the monsters inhabiting this valley and guarding the treasure chest to be a horde of golden bugs.

These bugs were not high-level monsters.

The higher ones were gold level.

The lowest ones were only apprentice level.

But the moment he saw these bugs, Ye Xuan was reminded of the time he went to the trial of the Translucent Secret Realm.

The time he met Fang Lan and saw those Loch Dragon Carps.
