The Machinery race had already obtained information about the Earthlings running amok in the Heavenly Treasures Street. They had even purposely removed their patrols in the Heavenly Treasures Street in order to nurture the ambitions of these Earthlings and create a better assessment environment for Wang Zhong. Thus, there was no such thing as a coincidence. Rhode D had asked Wang Zhong if he wanted to enter Shell Shade Street. This was also part of the assessment. If not, why would the Machinery race help him find loopholes in the system? Furthermore, the Machinery race had taken the initiative to suggest this? Wang Zhong was thinking too much.
They definitely would not let the examinees know about this. Everything had to be done in secret. Furthermore, reality proved that Wang Zhong had passed the test.
Of course, this was only the first assessment. He still had a long way to go if he wanted to truly obtain the trust of the Machinery race.
Old Cow and Mugthol came over very quickly. When they learned about the situation here, they were extremely ashamed.
They knew that Wales Karon had organized a few Earthlings to run amok in the Heavenly Treasures Street. However, on account of Wang Zhong, they had turned a blind eye to this. Previously, Old Cow had wanted to reflect on this problem to Wang Zhong through a letter. However, in the end, he decided to wait and see, try to persuade them indirectly, and give the Earthlings another chance. Thus, he had ignored this matter.
After all, they were Wang Zhong's race. They knew that there were only over 200 Earthlings in the divine territory, and most of them had lost contact with them. There were only a few dozen Earthlings gathered in the Heavenly Treasures Street. Furthermore, they were just freeloaders or causing small trouble. If Wang Zhong really punished them, it would not look good on Wang Zhong's face. However, he never expected that they would dare to snatch a woman on the street today and even be seen by Wang Zhong …
"Wang Zhong, this is my …" Old Cow was slightly awkward. He only needed to look at the way Wang Zhong had handled this matter to know his attitude toward this matter. This was because he had not done his job well. If not, he could have prevented the Earthlings from suffering such a loss of reputation.
Wang Zhong waved his hand and did not let Old Cow continue talking about this matter. What was in the past was in the past. In the future, the entire Heavenly Treasures Street would know what to do. "Brother Cow, help my friends arrange their accommodations first."
Rhode D interrupted him with a smile. "No, we have to go to the trial hall in a while. We will rest in the law enforcement team's dormitory at night. We will return to Elysium through the teleportation array at noon tomorrow. Remember to come and meet us in advance."
Wang Zhong nodded his head and did not force them to stay. He had originally planned to bring Rhode D and the others to walk around the Heavenly Treasures Street, but after this incident, he was not in the mood to walk around. He was a straightforward person. "Alright, then I'll come and look for you tomorrow morning."
After sending off Rhode D and the others, the neighbors who had come to watch the commotion also dispersed. Wang Zhong tactfully declined the neighbors' suggestion of setting up 300 tables of welcoming wine in the restaurant. This time, he had returned to Heavenly Treasures Street for serious matters.
"Who is it? Why are they acting so mysterious?" Wang Zhong was also curious. It was fine if Old Cow did not reveal the identity of the person who wanted to see him, but he was already here, yet he did not say anything? Must he go to Old Niu's house to see him with his own eyes?
Old Cow was also embarrassed. "This is the other party's request, and he did not explain the reason to me. However, don't worry. It's someone you are very familiar with. He has stayed at my house for three days and said that he has an important matter. It is not good for me to make the decision on my own."
Someone he was very familiar with? Lao Wang thought for a long time. He did not seem to have anyone he was very familiar with in the divine territory, unless it was an old friend from Earth. However, if it was an old friend from Earth, why did he have to be so mysterious?
Along the way, when he pushed open the door to the second floor of Old Cow's garden, Wang Zhong immediately saw a familiar figure.
"Grai?!"
Just now, he had experienced the depression of being a disappointing member of his race. However, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, there would be a massive surprise.
"Senior Wang Zhong." Grai, who had turned around, smiled. "Long time no see."
"Damn, it's really you!" Wang Zhong was surprised and happy. He walked forward and gave Grai a fierce hug. What surprised him was that Grai's body felt rather sturdy. He was very different from the average standard of an Earthling who was struggling below the standard of a commoner. It looked like this fellow had had a miraculous encounter after coming to the divine territory.
"Old Cow has always been unwilling to reveal your identity. I was wondering who it was. Why are you being so mysterious?" Wang Zhong laughed out loud and pulled Grai's hand to sit down. He could not wait to ask questions. He had too many things he wanted to know. "Also, how did you find your way here? Did wolf goblin Basir look for you? Furthermore, your cultivation level … Ha ha ha. Look at me. I'm so happy that I asked so many questions in one go! "
"You can't blame Old Cow." Grai smiled and replied, "My current identity is rather sensitive. For now, I cannot let others know that you have dealings with us. Furthermore, I cannot let others know that I am an Earthling."
"Us?" Lao Wang was rather sharp and caught the keyword. "Who else is with you?"
"You definitely won't be able to guess." Grai blinked and smiled knowingly. He did not keep Lao Wang in suspense. "It's Mu Zi."
It was actually Mu Zi!
He had not expected this. However, when he heard news about his brother, Wang Zhong felt that today was really a bitter day followed by a sweet one. There were too many pleasant surprises. "Hurry up and tell me! Hurry up and tell me! I want to know everything about you guys! "
Of course, Grai would not hide anything from Wang Zhong. He had specially found Wang Zhong to tell him some things.
Unlike Wang Zhong, who was focused on training in the Heavenly Gates and did not receive any news, Grai and Mu Zi had long heard news about Aiolos. Even though he was in the Arena, Aiolos's reputation had spread to many places. Of course, it was mainly in low- and middle-leveled civilizations.
As the first Earthling to accumulate his Void Core, he was the pioneer and founder of a civilization! This in itself was already a great reputation, not to mention the fame that Aiolos had gained from killing in the Arena! To be honest, Wang Zhong, who had entered the Heavenly Gates, could not compare to Aiolos's current reputation.
When he heard this news, there was no doubt that Lao Wang was shocked and excited.
To be honest, Lao Wang felt that his journey to the divine territory, including entering the Heavenly Gates, had been rather smooth. However, it was inevitable that he would often feel that it was difficult to support himself and that he was alone. It was as if he was fighting against the entire world. However, Wang Zhong's mentality was good enough. If it was someone else in such an environment, they would definitely be depressed.
However, even though his mentality was good, he had too many things on his shoulders, and the burden was too heavy. Even Lao Wang would often feel lonely when he heard Jhonas's heartless snoring in the dead of night. But now, he had finally heard good news about his comrade! It was as if he suddenly had someone by his side, a pillar of support, and a helper.
"Have you contacted Lao Ai? How is he now? " When Wang Zhong heard about Aiolos's achievements, he felt his blood boil. Back then, if he had not chosen to walk the path of the Heavenly Gates, he would have gone to the Arena to train. However, he would have been a free person.
Grai shook his head. "Not yet. I've only heard some rumors about him. It was not easy to come from the underground world …"
"The underground world?"
Grai smiled. "Then, it's time to talk about me and Mu Zi. This is also the reason why I cannot reveal my identity."
Frankly speaking, with the legend of the Netherworld King and his identity as the Netherworld River Messenger, the waves that Mu Zi had stirred up in the underground world were definitely much greater than the fame that Aiolos had gained in the Arena. Furthermore, unlike Aiolos, who was completely forced to enter the Arena, Grai and Mu Zi were truly free to do so. They had great plans!
"Aiolos's Arena is rather eye-catching. Thus, I have not contacted Aiolos yet. However, after hearing about you, Mu Zi impatiently urged me to look for you," said Grai with a smile. "My and Mu Zi's current identities are rather sensitive. Once people find out that the legend of the Netherworld King and the Netherworld River Messengers are just two Earthlings playing tricks, they will definitely not be able to tolerate it. When that happens, it will be ineffective."
Wang Zhong understood. "Then, your plans are …"
"In the divine territory, strength is ultimately the standard to test and measure everything. We don't have any big plans for now. We just want to accumulate resources and improve ourselves. " Grai took out a very inconspicuous cloth bag. It was gray and had a gloomy aura that made people feel disgusted. One look and one could tell that it was a product of the underground world.
He stretched out his hand and dug into his bag. It was a spatial storage artifact. In the divine territory, a dimensional space that could withstand the super gravity and spiritual pressure here without collapsing was a rather high-end product. Back then, Lao Wang's fragment world had simply collapsed the moment it came into contact with the air in the divine territory.
He took out three items and placed them on the table.
One of them was a square seal that was the size of a palm. There was also a dragon engraved on its surface. Upon closer inspection, it did not seem to reveal any spiritual power. However, in any case, Lao Wang had broadened his knowledge of equipment refinery with Lavel. Just by looking at the shape of this ancient seal, he could determine that this was a rather exquisite antique artifact. Furthermore, he could sense that a massive amount of energy was hidden under its calm appearance.
The second item was a black banner that was about two meters long. It had an extremely heavy deathly aura. Even the naked eye could see that there were traces of black gas surrounding it. It gave off a soul-stirring feeling that made one's heart palpitate.
The third item looked rather simple. It was a green mirror. Other than the fact that the material was somewhat strange, there did not seem to be anything outstanding about it.
"This is …" Lao Wang was slightly doubtful.
Grai smiled and said, "Experts often die in the Netherworld River, and their artifacts are naturally lost inside. After countless years, I really don't know how many such treasures have accumulated in the Netherworld River. Furthermore, Mu Zi is the only person who can fish out things from the Netherworld River. He was the one who fished them out."
"Other than these three items, we also fished out many other items. Some of them can be used by Mu Zi and I, while others can be sold directly. However, these items are rather special," Grai said. "I can tell that the grade of these three artifacts is rather high. Mu Zi and I are not short of money at the moment. After discussing it, we both felt that it would be a pity to sell them. However, they are artifacts that were personally refined. Unless outsiders refine them again, they cannot be used. With Mu Zi and my current status in the underground world, if we find outsiders to refine them again, we will have a very high risk of exposing ourselves … "
Lao Wang understood. If you wanted to find someone to refine a level-4 artifact, it would definitely cost a sky-high price. Furthermore, you might not be able to find someone to refine it even if you paid the money. However, if you were to refine it on the basis of a finished product, erase the mark of the original owner, and turn it into your personal artifact, it would not be a problem even if it was a level-3 or level-2 artifact, let alone a level-4 artifact.
"I will go back to the Heavenly Gates and find someone to refine it again." Lao Wang immediately agreed. "Once it is done, I will get someone to contact you."
"These are for you." Grai smiled. "Mu Zi said that the energy in these items is extraordinary. I'm afraid that their origins are extraordinary as well. It is not easy to show them to others. It is best if you can refine them yourself."
With Wang Zhong's current vision, even though he could not distinguish the grade of these three artifacts, regardless of whether it was the energy contained in them or other aspects, he could tell that they were at least above the level-5 artifact that Lavel had refined previously. Furthermore, they were not superior by just a little bit. Instead, they could not compare at all!
Wang Zhong nodded his head. Possessing a jade ring would cause one to get into trouble. Their strength had to be equivalent. Then, he asked about Grai and Mu Zi's cultivation in the underground world.
Wang Zhong was temporarily unable to understand the principles behind using the laws of the Netherworld River to increase their spiritual power. In reality, even Grai and Mu Zi had not completely figured out the principles. It could only be said that they knew how to borrow the power of the Netherworld River to modify their cultivation methods, but they could not explain why. Furthermore, their methods were not completely the same. For example, Mu Zi's Netherworld River Technique mainly used deathly aura, while Grai's Netherworld River Blood Technique mixed the power of his bloodline. Both of them were still in the process of exploring the Netherworld River.
However, after all, they had interacted with the various top Factions and top experts in the underground world. Thus, they had a rather thorough understanding of the combat methods in the divine territory.
"Thunder techniques, goblin techniques, and physical techniques? Combat Cultivation methods? " Grai smiled and said, "These can be collectively referred to as a part of 'techniques'. The combat methods in the divine territory are mainly divided into three main categories, and they are not divided into different levels."
"The first is techniques, which have the most types and are the most complicated. Thunder techniques, goblin techniques, physical techniques, and so on that you mentioned are all combat methods that use the physical body as a foundation. They are all a type of 'technique'. Experts who have cultivated 'techniques' to the peak are all peak kings who have learned the strengths of various schools of thought. They can fight as they please, and their strength is monstrous. In the end, physical techniques and goblin techniques cannot compare to thunder techniques. "
"The second is weapons. Those who are good at using weapons do not just refer to those who use weapons to fight in close combat. Real weapons can move mountains and seas and change the world!"
"The third is pills. Pills can revive the dead, increase combat strength, and assist in combat. There are also legendary divine pills that can allow ordinary people to surpass themselves and ascend. They are simply omnipotent!"
"Techniques, pills, and weapons. These three can be summarized into all the cultivation methods in the divine territory." When he spoke to this point, Grai paused slightly. "Senior, if we Earthlings want to rise, it is true that the first step is to have a few strong combat forces to support us. However, if we really want to stand firm, we will still need knowledge that can bring progress to the entire civilization."
"Regardless of whether it is Aioros, Mu Zi, or me, perhaps we have found our own path. There is no problem with personal cultivation, but if we want to help humans accumulate knowledge in various aspects such as techniques, pills, and weapons, we are truly powerless."
When he said this, Wang Zhong already understood. Aioros, Mu Zi, and Grai had all walked on their own cultivation paths. Furthermore, it was obvious that all of them were very confident that they would achieve a certain level of success in the near future and help the Earthlings open up a new world. However, it was easy to start a business but difficult to maintain it. What truly supported a civilization in the divine territory was the foundation of the entire knowledge system.
