Jiang Ye flew at full speed towards Canghuang Mountain.

Suddenly.

"Out of friendliness, let me give you a warning." A voice sounded in his mind: "Do not join the Cangxu Civilization."

Jiang Ye's expression changed slightly.

This voice wasn't Bai Gui's.

It came from Wang Zilu.

"Do not join the Cangxu Civilization? What does that mean?" Jiang Ye frowned slightly.

Could it be that the Cangxu Civilization would contact him proactively?

"Got it." He replied briefly and then accelerated towards Canghuang Mountain.

...

At the original spot.

"Hmph."

"To think he knows how to reply, not bad." A young girl in white, pure and charming, pouted slightly.

Immediately.

She recalled her words from earlier.

"Treating aliens..."

"The reason why he's always indifferent to me." Wang Zilu murmured: "Is it because I am an alien to him?"

"What's wrong with aliens?"

"Aliens also get married and have children!" The girl stomped her little foot, her exquisite face full of frustration.

...

Canghuang Mountain.

"Whoosh!" Jiang Ye, like a meteor, directly landed in the core area of Canghuang Mountain.

"Observing the finest details."

A flash of light appeared in Jiang Ye's eyes.

He already saw the location of the Civilization Key—at the center of a basin ahead, shining brightly.

Swiftly.

Jiang Ye turned into a shadow and flew into the basin.

But just as he was about to step into the basin's edge.

"Pop!"

An immensely strong spiritual pressure, vast as an ocean, surged out.

"Spiritual pressure?" Jiang Ye stepped forward easily, as if encountering no obstacle.

[Stowaway—Terrain Adaptation]

Soon, Jiang Ye stepped into the basin.

In the next second.

Wow~

The surroundings suddenly changed, and Jiang Ye saw Blue Star erupting with a terrifying Shadow Disaster, countless terrifying Shadow Races emerged, and the Federation's forty provinces were engulfed by the shadow tide...

"Is this the test mentioned by the previous Inspector?"

"Illusion?" Jiang Ye's expression changed slightly: "This time it's not the Beauty Gate, but the Shadow Disaster?"

In the past, Jiang Ye's illusion tests always involved various beauties.

This was the first time he saw such a scene.

"Does this signify that some change has taken place in my heart?" Jiang Ye pondered silently.

In the past, only beauty could slightly trap him.

But now? The situation is different.

"Break." Jiang Ye stepped forward.

Having seen it was an illusion, he could easily break through it.

In the blink of an eye, those terrifying scenes disappeared.

But deep down, Jiang Ye felt a slight sense of unease.

"If someday in the future, Blue Star erupts with such a terrifying Shadow Disaster, or is invaded by a powerful alien civilization."

"What should be done then?"

As Jiang Ye encountered more alien civilizations, this concern indeed emerged deep within him.

Especially after experiencing the 'Civilization Corridor' and seeing countless civilizations vanish in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ye felt a vague sense of foreboding.

The Blue Star Civilization has too many Starry Sky Corridors.

Each of those Starry Sky Corridors is a ticking time bomb, capable of causing endless catastrophe at any moment.

At this moment, figures flashed through Jiang Ye's mind.

Parents, Jiang Ting, Chen Zilu, Zhu Honglie, Qiu Cang...

"Only strength." Jiang Ye tightened his grip on the spear, his gaze growing more determined.

Step by step, continuing forward.

"Halt!"

Ahead, countless lights suddenly converged, forming more than ten silver figures, clad in silver battle armor, with incredibly strong auras.

Seemingly the 'guardians' here.

"Stop!"

"Stop!" These silver-armored guardians shouted in unison.

Their voices seemed like tangible waves, sweeping out wide.

"The third test?"

"Testing my strength?" Jiang Ye remained unaffected, gripping the spear tightly, his figure turning into a shadow and charging forward.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" Those silver figures also began to move fiercely, their auras fully erupted, each at the Quasi-Fourth Break level.

These silver-armored guardians unleashed their full power, surrounding Jiang Ye.

"Die!"

Jiang Ye held the spear, sweeping it out, a dazzling spear light flashed.

"Swish~" "Swish!" The spear light shone brightly, with extraordinary power, sweeping over those dozen silver-armored guardians, instantly splitting their bodies in two.

In less than half a second!

Dozen silver-armored guardians at the Quasi-Fourth Break level burst apart, dissipating into a void shadow.

But before Jiang Ye could relax.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!" "Hoo..."

In the next second, more silver-armored guardians emerged, not only in greater numbers than before but also with stronger auras.

Over a hundred silver-armored guardians.

"Kill!" They shouted angrily in unison, rushing towards Jiang Ye like tides.

"Is it a checkpoint?"

"Passing through will certainly bring greater rewards." Jiang Ye realized inwardly, gripping the spear tightly, continuing the slaughter.

To Jiang Ye, these silver-armored guardians were far too weak.

Just one spear!

Was enough to annihilate dozens.

Soon, he slaughtered all over a hundred silver-armored guardians.

"More?" Jiang Ye looked ahead, this time, several hundred silver-armored guardians gathered.

Each one emitted an aura comparable to Ji Bei.

"Kill!" Without hesitation, Jiang Ye charged forward with the spear, the spear light tearing through the sky, bursting loudly!

"Swish!"

"Swish!" The spear light was like lightning, crushing these silver-armored guardians, with terrifying power.

"Too weak." Jiang Ye shook his head slightly.

Now, both his spear technique and strength far surpassed the past.

Opponents at Ji Bei's level, aren't even Invincible Tao Bone.

Simply piling up numbers is now meaningless to him.

Don't say tens of hundreds, even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands... Hmm, if truly hundreds of thousands of Ji Bei came at once, perhaps they could threaten Jiang Ye.

But hundreds? Are not worth worrying.

...Seconds later.

"Clang!"

Jiang Ye swept with his spear, invincible in his path.

In just a few seconds, he slaughtered all the several hundred silver-armored guardians.

"Is it over?" Jiang Ye looked ahead.

Those silver-armored guardians didn't reappear.

He stepped forward, this time, encountering no further obstacles.

"The Civilization Key is just ahead." Jiang Ye walked towards the center of the basin, where a small vortex was slowly rotating.

Swoosh!

Without hesitation, Jiang Ye's figure flashed, entering the vortex directly.

....

"Flash!"

Opening his eyes again, Jiang Ye found himself in a great hall.

This hall was almost identical to the one at the Black Sea Coast, empty.

Buzz~

Plenty of light gathered, forming a black-robed shadow, precisely the 'Inspector' Jiang Ye had seen before.

"Jiang Ye, we meet again." The black-robed shadow smiled.

This time, his voice seemed a bit more familiar than the last.

"Greetings, Senior." Jiang Ye slightly cupped his hands.

"Congratulations."

"You've passed the highest difficulty checkpoint of the Second Star Ring." The black-robed shadow smiled: "Apart from the Civilization Key, you will also receive an additional Third Tier A+ Opportunity."

As he spoke.

He suddenly waved his hand.

"Buzz!" The void fluctuated, two glowing treasures appeared, floating towards Jiang Ye.

"Thank you, Senior." Jiang Ye eagerly reached out to receive them.

Just as he suspected, the checkpoint had something to do with rewards.

Third Tier A+!

Currently, Jiang Ye had only obtained one such item, a truly rare gain.

After collecting the two treasures.

"Senior."

"I have something to ask." Jiang Ye cupped his hands.

"Speak." The black-robed shadow nodded slightly.

"If I choose to break through to Fourth Break here." Jiang Ye inquired: "What happens when I'm transmitted to the Third Star Ring next?"
