"It seems my hunch might be off..."

"Let's go inside and check everything one by one before drawing any conclusions. As for hunches... they can't be entirely trusted."

Sometimes people are like this.

Even when scratching a lottery ticket and revealing a "Thank" character, they refuse to believe in the harsh reality until they scratch off the entire "Thank you for your patronage" message.

Xu Ran had the same mentality and psychology. What if? What if there was an unexpected surprise?

What if in some unnoticed corner, there lay a super treasure only he could see through, not only dispelling the mist within the Red Treasure Pearl but also giving him an extra trump card? Wouldn't that be perfect?

Red Treasure Pearl + Divine-level treasure, how wonderful does that sound?

Xu Ran strode confidently: "My Blessed Fortune is as high as 223 points. On the first day of my training, I received 3 drops of Divine Origin... when it comes to luck, I should be a bit more audacious."

Thinking this way.

He stepped into the Divine-level Treasure Vault, prepared to start a dedicated selection.

However, the most attention-grabbing items in the vault were the three divine artifacts placed in the center.

They rested quietly in their respective spots.

Emitting a distinct radiance, luxurious and dazzling, a glance at them was enough to keep one's eyes fixed.

Xu Ran was curious: "Is this the Jade Pure Willow Wood? Why does it seem so full of life? It gives off a sense of everything competing to flourish, so full of vitality, pleasing to the eye."

He examined a piece of arm-thick Purple Crystal Wood, as if seeing a world teeming with life.

The chief nodded: "Yes, your feeling is correct. The Jade Pure Willow Wood is indeed still vibrant. Although it hasn't grown roots or green leaves, it produces a drop of Jade Purifying Holy Dew every year.

The Jade Purifying Holy Dew is the most precious Purifying Holy Water for humans! Even if diluted a thousand times, it can quickly eliminate the Resentful God contamination within a cultivator's body."

"It's just a pity that it has never wanted to grow new branches. Researchers speculate that it needs some special environment to sprout...

Humanity has yet to create such an environment for it... if it could sprout and grow more branches, perhaps it could brew even greater treasures."

The chief sighed.

Xu Ran's curiosity was piqued: "Is it really that formidable? There's no such peculiar Holy Wood on Blue Star, is there? How did humanity acquire it?"

The chief gave a faint smile: "It's a long story. The current twelfth-ranked Thieving Saint Squad once ventured deeply into the Crystal Beast Planet and saw a towering giant tree emitting Holy Light at the edge of the entrance. Many Resentful Beasts were attacking, polluting, and damaging it, while numerous Crystal Beasts were defending it..."

"The Thieving Saint Squad took advantage of the chaos, stole a piece of Holy Wood, and fled."

Xu Ran was astonished: "They actually went to the Crystal Beast Planet to steal Holy Wood? Were there any casualties?"

The chief was very candid: "There were serious injuries, but fortunately, no deaths..."

Ye Ping immediately spoke up: "Don't get any ideas about imitating them!

The Thieving Saint Squad, among them, three members have Space Element Root Bone, and another has Stealth Element Root Bone, allowing the whole team to deceive many perceptions. Another member can steal from a distance...

Though their combat ability is just average, their escape capability ranks first among all Godslaying Squads."

"Moreover, they ventured to the Crystal Beast Planet only at the peak of the Yue Realm, and even so, they were all severely injured..."

Ye Ping's expression was serious, and every word was filled with peril.

Yue Realm peak + three Space Elements + one Stealth Element + one Acceleration Element... all severely injured.

If not for good luck, they would have been concluded in coffins...

Nearby.

Two Godslaying Squads, fourteen members in total, cooperated with Ye Ping's tempo, warning Xu Ran to prevent him from suddenly coming up with a bold idea.

Lin Feng: "Indeed, don't mimic them. After they went that one time, their injuries haven't healed to this day. They wouldn't dare to venture again."

Liu Yan was even more heartbroken: "And fifty years ago, the top-ranked Godslaying Squad 'Light,' lost contact only an hour after entering the Crystal Beast Planet!!! They were our heroes... yet... yet..."

Uncle Yan was even reluctant to admit the 'Light' team had sacrificed...

Xu Ran was utterly shocked: "That terrifying?"

Xiao Xue gestured wildly: "Terrifying is an understatement... it's simply a haunted place! Since then, Godslaying Squads are strictly prohibited from entering Exotic Stars. Even the Crystal Beast Planet, where contamination isn't that severe, harbors great terror."

Lin Feng's expression was solemn: "Not to mention the Crystal Beast Planet, even a Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone devours several Godslaying Squads each year. Let alone Exotic Stars..."

"Even if humanity birthed Divine-level cultivators, they could not return alive from Exotic Stars."

Mentioning this topic, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely somber, overwhelmingly despairing, and suffocating.

The leadership of the Celestial Summit Pavilion had speculated that the Crystal Beasts attacking Blue Star might just be a small force of the Crystal Beast Planet... or perhaps just an insignificant part.

Yet even so, humanity was nearly wiped out.

Ye Ping and the Godslaying Squads exchanged glances, refraining from discussing more information, lest such frightening information leave a shadow on Xu Ran's young mind.

"In conclusion, never think about exploring Exotic Stars. Even at the peak of the Yue Realm, you must think carefully; at that time, you will have teammates, and you need to consider them."

Xu Ran smiled faintly: "I understand; I won't risk my life or my teammates' lives."

At least before reaching the Yue Realm, Xu Ran wouldn't take risks.

Once he reaches the Yue Realm and multiple Magical Skills reach the Fourth Sequence, that would be the time for him to unleash his fury.
