My Arts Evolve When Perfected

The detection capabilities of the Eight-direction Reversing Ship were top-tier technology, even within the context of the entire Primordial world cluster. Virtually no non-strategic Teleportation Ship could compare.

After all, as one of the Nine Venerables from the top-tier Nine Venerable Great Realm, the fleet Zuo Xuan commanded could hardly be considered ordinary.

The Eight-direction Reversing Ship was a super-battleship forged from the very essence of the Emperor Blue Lizard Clan’s technology, a project that took centuries to complete. It was powerful enough to support Venerable Zuo Xuan’s unlimited travel across space and time.

Indeed, Venerable Zuo Xuan was already over ten thousand years old. He had roamed the Primordial world cluster for several millennia, relying primarily on the Eight-direction Reversing Ship. In some respects, the battleship possessed abilities that surpassed his own.

For instance, its ability to scan across different spacetimes.

Just moments ago, he had effortlessly used the Eight-direction Reversing Ship to detect a specific set of coordinates flashing with the light of battle—a battle involving the Fusion Realm and even the Harmonization Realm. From the looks of it, the fighting was fierce.

The emergence of a Harmonization Realm battle was a major event. To detect such concentrated aftershocks was an even greater one.

These so-called Harmonization Realm aftershocks weren’t necessarily generated by a Harmonization Realm expert. They could also be unleashed by weapons possessing that level of power, or forcibly produced by certain Secret Techniques of equivalent strength.

But regardless of the source, Zuo Xuan would never pass up on fluctuations of this magnitude. He decisively pulled up the map and began to confirm the direction of the coordinates.

After all, his discovery of Blue Star had been similar. While searching for Life Realms in a remote region, he had detected a faint fluctuation at the Fusion Realm level emanating from the planet. That was what prompted him to go and plunder it.

A fluctuation at the Fusion Realm level was insignificant to him. However, at the time, he had been able to sense a more intense conflict. When the fluctuation reached him, he knew a battle was underway.

Moreover, the scale of the battle was considerable for a typical small world. Most importantly, it signified an untapped Life Realm—a highly valuable find.

And he had been proven right. A single raid on Blue Star had yielded hundreds of thousands of captured prodigies. Among them was an extraordinarily gifted young woman who had undergone a bloodline transformation, faintly exuding an ancient aura.

Such an occurrence wasn’t surprising. Although the Primordial world cluster had already undergone an epochal purge and many lineages had been severed, some bloodlines had managed to survive due to subtle circumstances, merely waiting for the right moment to transform.

’With so many worlds out there, it was inevitable that a native from some small world would be born with an absurdly powerful Bloodline Talent, and I just happened to be the one to snatch them up.’

Besides such an incredible prize, the other slaves also fetched a good price. Years later, while voyaging through the void of the Primordial world cluster, he even heard that one of them—a fellow named Zhu Weiyi who was sold to Celestial Star Oasis City in the Desolate Realm—had generated considerable value.

’That truly was considerable value. For someone at the Dao Entry Realm to survive for that long, his potential couldn’t have been poor. He might have even been the most valuable Dao Entry Realm slave in the Celestial Star Arena at the time.’

’And I sold plenty of other slaves like him in various places. I’d just sell them off along my route, finding suitable buyers and exchanging them for Primordial Basic Coins.’

So, discovering another conflict zone—and one with Harmonization Realm fluctuations at that—greatly piqued Zuo Xuan’s interest. He located the coordinates on his map and frowned slightly. "Why is it the Thunder Great Realm?"

The Thunder Great Realm was a well-known Great Realm with considerable potential, enough to one day become a top-tier Great Realm. However, it might never get the chance, as it was rapidly approaching the Nine Venerable Great Realm’s sphere of influence.

’That’s right. A little more distance, and it would be within the Nine Venerable Great Realm’s sphere of influence, meaning it would fall under our control. As one of the Nine Venerables myself, I certainly wouldn’t want the Thunder Great Realm to become too powerful.’

So, seeing such intense battle aftershocks erupting from the Thunder Great Realm, Zuo Xuan was understandably puzzled. ’Has someone already made a move? One of the other eight Venerables?’

This was his first thought. The Thunder Great Realm possessed abundant resources—it wouldn’t have the potential to become a top-tier Great Realm otherwise. The Thunder Clan within it was especially notable; they were said to be bound to the Great Realm itself, born from its very origin.

In other words, the Thunder Great Realm was immensely valuable. The three great clans of the Nine Venerable Great Realm had been coveting it for a long time, eager to occupy it.

However, taking down the Thunder Great Realm would be no easy task. After all, the world possessed the potential of a top-tier Great Realm and had a considerable number of Harmonization Realm experts. Furthermore, if they were fighting on their home turf, they could even communicate with the world’s will.

The connection between the Thunder Great Realm’s will and the Thunder Clan was incredibly close, making them a force equivalent to one guarded by a Venerable. Therefore, to forcibly occupy it, at least one Venerable would have to take action.

As one of the three Venerables of the Emperor Blue Lizard Clan, he hadn’t received any word from the other two Venerables in his clan, which meant it wasn’t his people who had acted. Then there was the Hollow Demon Race; one of their Venerables, a being called Red Demon, had fallen a few years ago.
