In Jiang Ye's perception, the white-gold ring contained a cubic space measuring five meters on each side.
Within this cubic space, treasures were piled up, each emitting a faint glow.
The vast majority were B-Tier Opportunities.
"Ten Upper B-Tier Opportunities," Jiang Ye counted. "Ten Mid B-Tier, fifteen Low B-Tier. And some daily cultivation resources."
Unfortunately, there were no A-Tier Opportunities.
This was to be expected.
Third-Tier A-Grade Opportunities would be immensely helpful even to quasi-fourth breakthrough cultivators, so they would undoubtedly be consumed immediately.
B-Tier Opportunities, on the other hand, had significantly weaker effects.
Suddenly, Jiang Ye's gaze flickered.
"What's this?"
Within the ring lay a Pale Crimson token. Unlike the other dazzling treasures, this token emitted no brilliant light, yet it gave Jiang Ye an unusual feeling.
"Whoosh!" With a thought, Jiang Ye retrieved the Pale Crimson token.
He attempted to infuse it with stellar energy.
Buzz! The token trembled slightly.
In the next moment, a beam of light shot from the token, coalescing into a holographic map projection in mid-air.
"A map?" Jiang Ye murmured, slightly surprised.
This wasn't a map of the Star Realm Sea, nor any map he recognized.
"A map of the Fire Ember Civilization? Doesn't look like it," Jiang Ye observed, studying the projection.
The map wasn't complex, but its intricate twists and turns resembled a treasure map.
Soon, Jiang Ye put the token away.
Beep! He opened the ranking projection.
#1: Bo Sen, Bounty: 155
#2: Jiang Ye, Bounty: 138
#3: Tian Chenyu, Bounty: 135
#4: Yan Yi, Bounty: 120
"After killing Ji Bei, I inherited his 30-point bounty," Jiang Ye noted, examining the rankings. "That's what propelled me to second place?"
He didn't care much.
It was only the first day in the Star Realm Sea.
What truly concerned Jiang Ye was Ji Bei's strength.
In my battle against Ji Bei, Jiang Ye thought to himself, I nearly exhausted all my trump cards.
And this man doesn't even possess the invincible dao bone?
What, then, is the true extent of power held by someone with the invincible dao bone? Jiang Ye wondered.
The recent battle had set alarm bells ringing in Jiang Ye's mind.
He might have underestimated the power of the invincible dao bone.
Anyone capable of contending with a Transcendent Aptitude must possess unimaginable killing techniques and hidden reserves, making them exceedingly difficult to kill.
Ji Bei, though just a step away from the invincible dao bone and lacking an Absolute Domain, had still proven remarkably resilient.
If not for my Blood Sea Domain, which severely weakened Ji Bei, Jiang Ye mused, shaking his head slightly, this battle might not have been won so easily.
The Blood Sea Domain could reduce an enemy's maximum attributes by up to 50%.
Against Ji Bei, however, it likely only reduced them by 40%.
The opponent's Domain had likely interfered with the effect.
And there's more.
"Even Ji Bei possesses a fourth-tier peak treasure," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "Those invincible dao bones from the first-tier civilization must also have similar trump cards hidden."
"If not one for every person, they certainly won't lack such means."
Take Yan Yi, for example, a direct disciple of a Divine being.
Would he lack such treasures? Absolutely not.
On the contrary, Jiang Ye needed to be wary. Peerless prodigies like Yan Yi might even possess fifth-tier treasures. Of course, the probability of this was extremely low.
According to Bai Gui, fifth-tier treasures that could be activated by a third breakthrough were rare even in third-tier civilizations.
As for first-tier civilizations? Their existence was practically impossible.
"Actually, you already possess combat power comparable to an invincible dao bone," Bai Gui's voice echoed.
Whoosh~
A white-robed figure, sword slung across her back, materialized beside Jiang Ye, radiating an ethereal, otherworldly aura.
"Me? An invincible dao bone?"
"Perhaps," Jiang Ye replied, neither confirming nor denying.
Invincible dao bones varied in strength.
He sought to compare himself to the strongest among them, not the weaklings.
"Bai Gui," Jiang Ye asked, "if I were to face the strongest of the invincible dao bones, what do you think my chances of victory would be?"
"Ten percent," Bai Gui replied.
"Ten percent?" Jiang Ye was taken aback, then stared at her in astonishment.
"Of course," Bai Gui smiled. "I'm referring to the invincible dao bones of third-tier civilizations."
Jiang Ye fell silent. Did she really need to point that out?
The invincible dao bones of third-tier civilizations cultivated third-tier cultivation techniques. He was undoubtedly far from being a match for them.
Still, hearing Bai Gui's assessment surprised Jiang Ye.
"You actually think I have a ten percent chance of defeating the invincible dao bones of third-tier civilizations?" Jiang Ye asked, studying her curiously.
"Do you think that's too high?" Bai Gui countered.
"I know my limits," Jiang Ye said with a calm smile.
His foundation, opportunities, and resources were far inferior to those of such opponents. It was only natural that he couldn't compete.
"In truth, even a ten percent chance is unrealistic," Bai Gui said, shaking her head slightly. "But you always manage to bring about miracles and surprises, don't you?"
She smiled warmly at Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye returned the smile, saying nothing.
Miracles and surprises?
No, those were the fruits of perseverance and relentless effort.
"Senior Bai Gui," Jiang Ye said, returning to their earlier topic, "if I faced the strongest invincible dao bone from a first-tier civilization, what are my chances of defeating them?"
"Perhaps fifty percent."
"Fifty percent? That's so low?"
"It's not low at all," Bai Gui replied, shaking her head. "Your spearmanship and cultivation method are both below their average level."
"The only reason you have a fifty percent chance is because you've cultivated the True God Manual."
"Otherwise, given your current realm, you'd struggle to even reach thirty percent," Bai Gui said, shaking her head.
Jiang Ye nodded.
Bai Gui's assessment was accurate. His spearmanship realm was indeed too low.
The Luoshen Spear had only just reached Small Success.
As for his cultivation method? The White Dragon True God Manual had yet to reach the threshold of the third breakthrough peak.
My Luoshen Spear has already broken through to Small Success, Jiang Ye thought to himself. But I still haven't grasped the second ultimate move. If I could create it, my strength would at least skyrocket several times over.
The Luoshen Spear.
When Jiang Ye first created its ultimate move, the spear's power had surged dramatically.
If he could create a second ultimate move? The increase in strength would undoubtedly be even more astonishing.
However, creating an ultimate move was exceedingly difficult.
Unless a perfect opportunity arose, relying solely on intuition would rarely yield results. The right circumstances were essential.
Law Creation was no easy feat.
"The second ultimate move? I haven't even developed a prototype yet," Jiang Ye muttered, shaking his head.
Fortunately, he still had plenty of time.
"The Black Coast won't open for another half-month."
"I might as well use this time to cultivate," Jiang Ye decided.
The First Star Ring was overwhelmingly filled with B-Tier Opportunities.
Since there were no A-Grade Opportunities, there was no point in treasure hunting.
"One Third-Tier A-Grade Opportunity, combined with these harvested Third-Tier Upper B-Tier Opportunities," Jiang Ye thought, "might help me reach the quasi-fourth breakthrough."
With this thought, Jiang Ye immediately abandoned his hesitation.
He moved swiftly, preparing to find a secluded place for closed-door cultivation.
But suddenly, a notification appeared:
You have unlocked a new achievement: Murder and Plunder—Seize all of your enemy's wealth, exceeding your total assets.
Unlocked Title: Murder and Plunder
Reward: Upon killing an opponent, you will plunder a small portion of their cultivation insights.
You have slain over a hundred Martial Dao Patriarchs and one quasi-martial saint in a single day, exceeding the limits of a low martial world!
Unlocked Title: Scarlet Dusk
On that day, the entire world was shrouded in your murderous intent. You trampled upon the corpses of countless strong warriors. Martial Dao Patriarchs were no match for a single strike, and even quasi-martial saints fell at your feet.
Reward: Scarlet Dusk Domain. For one minute, each kill increases all your attributes by up to 10%, with the effect lasting until the end of the battle.
Subtitles began to appear.
New achievement?
["Killing an opponent grants a small portion of their cultivation insights?"] Jiang Ye was momentarily stunned.
Before he could react,
Whoosh!
A flood of complex information surged into Jiang Ye's mind.
