Chapter
"Today, let's continue as always~"
Ye Zhongming's hand paused for a moment, and it wasn't until Xia Lei expressed her dissatisfaction that he continued.
However, his brow furrowed.
He had long known that Cloud Summit and the posthumous child would eventually face the ninth-level expert from the Temple of Dawn, and he had prepared several means for this.
The reason he took the risk to go to the West Asia Zone to find Stellar Sand was to gain more confidence in dealing with this unparalleled master.
But now, having just returned from West Asia, the Star Spirit had yet to produce any Stellar Sand; naturally, he could not manufacture Stellar Equipment. From this alone, Ye Zhongming realized he was unprepared.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, the connection between him and Red Hair was intermittent. Initially, he thought it was due to being in two different spaces, but even after returning to the Royal City, it remained the same. This made him somewhat anxious. Could it be that Red Hair encountered some insurmountable existence on Necropolis Hill?
Thinking back to the aura emanating from Red Hair when she condensed her soul into a whip and extracted bones for a seat, Ye Zhongming felt a sense of threat. Such a powerful Red Hair, could it really be as Afo said, awakening those strong undead lifeforms buried beneath Necropolis Hill?
Perhaps he shouldn't have let Red Hair go there in the first place.
His fingertips felt delicately smooth, yet his heart was filled with confusion.
The trip to West Asia seemed to yield good results, but the dangers involved were known only to Ye Zhongming himself.
The character and organizational style of the West Asians prevented the kingdom in the Holy City from making a firm decision to fight hard, which gave Cloud Summit the upper hand.
In fact, if that ruler had been a bit more ruthless, the outcome might have been entirely different; the Cloud Summit team could have found themselves in a tough battle and missed out on the Star Spirit altogether.
And in the Star Mother Disc space, although Ye Zhongming blocked the last desperate strike from the centaurus, he had to thank the fact that it was only a one-time test. Otherwise, the subsequent battles would have to be fought with green equipment, which would undeniably lower his defenses and greatly increase the danger.
The most dangerous encounter, without a doubt, was the brief battle with jannadrah. If it weren't for Ye Zhongming's many means, even if he knew how to break through the burial barrier, he would have been unable to escape. In that near-domain space, he could have easily been slaughtered.
Having taken such a great risk, if he didn't convert his gains into combat power, it would have been better to stay in the secret realm for a few days to manufacture some equipment.
At the same time, after facing jannadrah, Ye Zhongming had a completely new understanding of the term "strong." Because after upgrading to seven-star evolution, and with the skills like great thousand soul refining technique and bloodline enhancement, the arrogance that had unintentionally arisen gradually dissipated.
He knew that even though he was reborn, he was not invincible. Others might have a solid foundation, superhuman means, or extraordinary luck. All of these could make those individuals not weaker than Ye Zhongming, and in some aspects, they could even surpass him.
For example, jannadrah, and that king whose methods seemed cowardly but whose actual strength was unknown, along with how many Stellar Sands he controlled.
With these two individuals present, Ye Zhongming even temporarily gave up on searching for Chrysanthemum Cloud.
If even the strong on Earth were like this, how much more so the Holy Father from the secret realm who had cultivated for who knows how many years.
That ninth-level elder, it would be an understatement to say he was formidable.
"Yesterday, there were cheers coming from the Temple of Dawn. Now they have gathered under the city walls. Their Holy Maiden and that Evil Dragon, Yangos, have already arrived, and the three main battle groups have also arrived early. Besides the arrival of that ninth-level Holy Father, I really can't think of anything else that could make them so happy."
