Chapter 369 - 369: It Was Too Worth It!
Silver Warband Azure Mountain Star ship, depart!
Wang Ye sat in the main control seat and browsed through the mission details and information.
Beside him were Lan Jian and Xiaoyu.
Ke Yuanqi entered the cultivation room early in the morning and never came out.
Yan Sanqi and Yao stood behind Xiaoyu and Lan Jian respectively. They had the self-awareness of rookies.
“What do you guys think?” Wang Ye said.
It’s a thankless mission that even Yuanqi wouldn’t accept.” Yu Yuyu still had a sharp tongue.
Yan Sanqi turned around to take a look. Fortunately, the door of the cultivation room was tightly shut.
“The risk is not proportional to the benefits.” Lan Jian looked at Wang Ye. “With your shrewdness, you shouldn’t have accepted such a mission. Is there a reason we don’t know?”
The reason?
The directions matched.
Wang Ye’s goal was very simple. He aimed straight at the components of the supreme treasure and left the rest to the side.
“The Silver Warband only has three missions to choose from,” Wang Ye said. “The first is a guardian mission. Wormhole Base N0.1 is currently occupied by us, and our progress is ahead of the devil race. The guardian mission is very safe and basically has no benefits.”
“The second is a killing mission. It’s too dangerous to go deep into the devil race’s territory and fight them head-on. The two rookies in our team are not suitable for such a high-risk mission.”
“Actually, including you, there are three rookies…” Lan Jian corrected him in his heart.
If it was Yuanqi, she would have long accepted the killing mission and charged into the devil race’s territory.
“Moreover, there are too many of us and not enough devils. More than half of the Silver Warbands have accepted the killing mission. The competition is too intense. In addition, the information about the devil race’s territory is unknown. I don’t think this is a good choice,” Wang Ye said.
Lan Jian nodded. “I can understand not taking on the killing mission, but why choose the demon search mission? There’s only a slight doubt that there are demons and the mission quota is five squads. The possibility of the demon race appearing in the Becky Galaxy is not high. We might waste a cosmic year.”
Wang Ye smiled. “If we don’t encounter any, just take it as resting and cultivating. Based on the current situation, the missions for this cosmic year will basically revolve around killing missions. Our squad’s combat prowess is not suitable for such dangerous missions for the time being. On the other hand, if the demon race does appear in the Becky Galaxy, what does it mean?
“The demon race discovered a cosmic wormhole in their territory,” Yu Yuyu said. “It leads straight to the Becky Galaxy. They’re ahead of us.”
Wang Ye nodded. “Yes, that would be a great achievement. Besides, we won’t have to take a lot of risks. Once we discover the movement of the demon race, the Silver Warband will immediately have follow-up missions. At that time, we will be at the front line, so our priority and progress will be the highest.”
Lan Jian and Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully. It sounded reasonable. Although they had different opinions, they were still quite convinced of their captain’s decision.
“If you don’t have any objections, let’s divide the work.” Wang Ye’s gaze swept across the area. “Lan Jian and Xiaoyu are the most experienced. They’re responsible for handling the details of the entire demon search mission. Yao, you’ve been on the Silver Road Team before. You’re in charge of the route planning. I will be in charge of the overall progress of the mission.”
“What about me?” Yan Sanqi was stunned.
Wang Ye pointed at the cultivation room. “Cultivate and fight with Yuanqi to increase your strength.”
“Alright!” Yan Sanqi’s eyes lit up.
If there’s no problem, let’s start.” Wang Ye clapped his hands.
The arrangements were quickly executed in an orderly manner.
He was especially responsible for Yao’s route planning. He had to make sure the route was accurate!
Wang Ye used the bloodline, Treasure Hunting. Once again, he confirmed the exact location of the supreme treasure component.
The distance wasn’t considered close, about 1800 light years away.
However, the Silver Road Team was already exploring the Becky Galaxy. They had discovered many natural wormholes, which could shorten the distance by quite a bit.
Of course, he couldn’t wait until the Becky Galaxy was completely explored before heading there.
No matter how well a supreme treasure component was hidden, it would definitely have a strong energy reaction.
By the time the Silver Road Team discovered it, it would be too late.
The only way to obtain the component of the supreme treasure was to… Arrive first!
As they ventured deeper into the Becky Galaxy, they kept in touch with Captain Chu of the Silver Road Team’s Azure Mountain Squad and shared the latest wormhole locations. Both parties advanced together.
Within a cosmic year of mission time, there was a 50% chance of reaching the supreme treasure’s location of the supreme treasure!
As for the demon search mission… It was just an excuse.
It was like a man drinking with a woman. Was he really thirsty?

Cultivation room.
After assigning the tasks, Wang Ye activated the tutelage mode.
Yao was quite a pleasant surprise.
Originally, he had only wanted to pull him along and give him some help. He didn’t expect the other party to be so talented.
Although his various Silver Road Team skills were slightly inferior to the professionals, he had the advantage of knowing a lot and could operate skillfully.
Lan Jian and Xiaoyu couldn’t stop praising him.
He was very useful in the current demon search mission. Compared to Ke Yuanqi, he was much more helpful to the team.
Wang Ye opened his interface. He still had 500 million potential points left. It looked like a lot, but in reality, it wasn’t much.
Currently, an improvement in close combat would need hundreds of millions.
The Thunder Fusion Technique and battle domain each required 600 million potential points to advance from stages 6 to 7.
In terms of comprehension of time and space, 300 million was needed for Spatial Synchronization and 600 million for Time Control.
Even the basic Dark Energy-level Energy Control Spell required 600 million potential points.
500 million potential points could only improve the minor ability spells or the basics like Spatial Control.
Since he had chosen a demon search mission, his potential points would not change much for the time being.
Saving the potential points wouldn’t give him interest either, so he might as well splurge.
[Do you want to spend 300 million potential points to upgrade your combat energy?]
[Yes! ]
Wang Ye didn’t hesitate.
He had a rough idea of what it meant to upgrade combat energy.
The Dark Energy level was a hub and a transit point between low-dimensional warriors and high-dimensional warriors.
With the integration of dark substance and the refinement of the black realm, the combat energy that reached the limit of the low-dimensional power level could evolve into a brand-new power along with the change of the body – Dark power.
The stronger the body, the stronger the dark power.
Only Super Star-level or even Black Hole-level human experts could produce dark power in their bodies that were continuously refined and evolved by dark substance.
Of course, once one’s combat energy reached stage 9, it could also be turned into dark power by fusing with dark substance.
This included bloodline, black realms, treasures, ability spells, and the sort.
As a high-dimensional energy, dark power could appear in more than one way.
However, upgrading combat energy was a very risky thing. This was because, in the process of converting combat energy into dark power, the cultivation of dark power would slow down if one’s body wasn’t strong enough and their combat prowess would decrease.
However, Wang Ye wasn’t worried about this at all.
Whoosh!
Starting with the black realm, his body was refined by dark substance, and the combat energy within his cells fused into the black realm.
Absorb, fuse, transform.
Threads of dark power gushed out from the black realm and flowed back into his body, nourishing him. Dark power fused into his much stronger body. The changes in his cells placed a huge burden on his body.
However, Wang Ye, who had fused with fragments of the Whitewheel Oblivion Armor, was no stranger to this feeling.
A very strong power!
When he fought Ke Yuanqi, he had felt her dark power.
Combined with the strength of her physical body, the power was explosive.
It was not inferior to the dark power of a Super Star-level devil general.
Not only could it resist the consumption of the white origin of thunder, but it was also not inferior as an attack method. Even if the other party was in his battle domain, she could still firmly fight the Thunder Fusion Technique head-on.
Wang Ye’s body was constantly being strengthened and he could feel the changes.
The transformation of combat energy into dark power was also an extreme tempering for the body. Every pain and every bit of dark power that entered his body meant that his body had become stronger!
Soon, all the dark power converted from combat energy was absorbed. The pain disappeared, and the strengthening of his body ended.
Wang Ye felt a small increase in his combat prowess.
To be able to accommodate dark power meant that his body had already reached the Super Star level.
It could be even stronger!
[Do you wish to spend 600,000 potential points to upgrade dark power?]
[Yes.]
[Physical strength is insufficient. Do you wish to spend 1,200,000 potential points to forcefully upgrade?]
?
A huge question mark popped up in Wang Ye’s head.
What the hell was forcefully upgrading?
He had seen it once before. It was during the process of obtaining the bloodline.
At that time, what appeared was-
[Life level insufficient. Do you wish to spend 10,000,000 potential points to forcefully obtain it?]
Compared to the 10 times requirement back then, the current requirement was only 2 times.
Upgrade!
A premium of 600,000 potential points was nothing.
If he killed a devil general now, he would gain at least a few million potential points.
He had no choice but to upgrade anyway. This was because his body structure and cells had already changed. There was no longer combat energy, only dark power.
Stage 1 dark power was no match for stage 9 combat energy.
He had to reach at least stage 3 dark power to be able to match the power of stage 9 combat energy, surpassing it with stage 4 dark power and being far superior at stage 5.
Swoosh!
In the space of consciousness, Wang Ye comprehended the control of dark power.
In just an instant, his physical body underwent an extreme change in reality!
With the sound of bones cracking, Wang Ye’s eyes widened.
For a moment, he was dazed and even forgot about the intense pain.
His body seemed to expand to the point of explosion as endless dark power surged in. He could not bear it and trembled violently.
Wang Ye endured the pain.
Wave after wave surged like a raging tide!
He didn’t know how much time had passed before he was finally done. His physical body was broken and then rebuilt, and his entire person was brand new.
[Dark power, stage 1 -»stage 2]
Light flashed before his eyes.
Wang Ye’s chest heaved rapidly.
It was full of surprises!
Was this the so-called forced upgrade?
No wonder!
He only needed twice the amount of potential points to obtain this. It turned out the extra 600,000 potential points were used on him!
It was like his meridians had been opened up. His physical body was first strengthened before his dark power was improved. It was worth it!
It was very worth it!
[Do you wish to spend 4,000,000 potential points to upgrade dark power?]
[Yes.]
[Physical strength is insufficient. Do you wish to spend 8,000,000 potential points to forcefully upgrade?]
Again!
The pain hit him again, but this time, Wang Ye had a smile on his face, allowing the endless pain to drown him.
Because he knew that after the pain, there would be endless pleasure.
A postnatal perfect body was very mediocre.
Even though he had put in a lot of effort, he had only managed to reach the perfect innate state, the starting point of the innate cosmic humans.
But now… He was moving his starting point forward!
With every forceful upgrade, he would break through and then establish himself afresh.
It was the same as tempering the body countless times with dark substance.
At the Dark Energy level, the hub where one transformed from the lower dimension to the higher dimension, not only did he build an extremely solid foundation, but now, he was changing in essence, slowly approaching the true genius of the cosmic!
Innate difference?
It was alright.. He was extremely talented!
