Chapter 361  : Rank Nine

“Great harvest!”

Xu Ning’s spatial ring was full of hidden fragments.

The last round of resource outbreaks was over. The tower was about to be sealed, and the arcanists who entered would soon be ejected from the tower.

‘The resources in the tower are so abundant…’

Xu Ning was a little curious about where the resources in the tower came from.

If the three rank ten arcanists had stored these resources in advance, then the amount of resources they had stored at that time must have been unimaginable.

‘The space is starting to distort…’

Xu Ning felt a slight fluctuation in space.

Soon, the fluctuations became more and more intense.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the area around Xu Ning began to warp, and the feeling of teleportation came again.

When Xu Ning regained his perception, he had already appeared outside the tower.

‘I’m out…’

In front of Xu Ning was the Arcanist Tower that had returned back to normal.

Xu Ning looked around.

Outside the tower were all the arcanists that had previously entered the tower.

‘There are thirty to forty percent fewer people…’

Xu Ning estimated in his heart.

Before entering, there were more than a thousand people from various factions.

But now, there were only about six to seven hundred left.

‘There are still some dangers in the tower…’

When Xu Ning first entered the tower, he was still a rank seven arcanist. At that time, he had also experienced several crises.

‘Let’s meet up with the Gao family…’

Xu Ning began to search for the Gao family.

Soon, Xu Ning found Gao Yuji.

There were already people surrounding Gao Yuji.

“How is your harvest, Xu Ning?”

After seeing Xu Ning come out safely, Gao Yuji was relieved.

When the final outbreak of resources erupted, many forces began to fight, causing numerous casualties.

“Got a great harvest.”

Xu Ning responded.

Xu Ning estimated that the hidden fragments in his hand could be exchanged for 50 million to 80 million units of energy.

“That’s good!”

Gao Yuji smiled.

This time, he had gained a lot as well. In addition to the resources he had obtained, he could also exchange the hidden fragments for the items he needed from the family.

Gao Ji was not worried that the large amount of resources he would exchange for would drain the family’s reserves.

Although the top families in the City of Arcanists were located in the city, they had branches outside the city.

In the Arcanist World, many resources would flow into the City of Arcanists through higher-level channels.

Not long after, the Gao family members who came out of the tower had all basically gathered.

Before entering the tower, there were a hundred people in the team, but now there were only about sixty people.

Among them, one rank eight arcanist, ten rank seven arcanists, and thirty rank six arcanists were lost.

In regards to this, Gao Ji didn’t feel regretful.

First of all, more than half of the casualties, including the rank eight arcanist who had died in the tower, were not members of the Gao family. These recruited people were all working for resources. Even if they did not come out, it would not affect the Gao family.

Secondly, although their own personnel were also lost, the resources they brought out could easily make up for the Gao family’s losses.

“Return to the mansion!”

Gao Yuji quickly brought the group back to the Gao family mansion.

After returning to the Gao family, there were already people waiting for them.

The group handed over the hidden fragments they had obtained. After calculating the quantity and quality of the hidden fragments, they waited for the exchanged resources to arrive.

When Xu Ning delivered his hidden fragments, the Gao family was shocked.

The number of hidden fragments obtained by Xu Ning alone was similar to the combined number obtained by the other three rank eight arcanists.

This made the Gao family look at Xu Ning in a different light.

Even the rank nine arcanist of the Gao family heard about this and personally met Xu Ning.

The rank nine arcanist of the Gao family even offered to let Xu Ning join the Gao family as a guest elder, but Xu Ning refused.

Once Xu Ning obtained the resources, Xu Ning would absorb them and advance to rank nine.

At that time, Xu Ning would leave the Arcanist World, and it would be impossible for him to take on the responsibilities of a guest elder.

The rank nine arcanist did not insist after Xu Ning declined.

After that, Xu Ning stayed in the Gao family mansion and waited for the resources to be delivered.

Two days later, the resources Xu Ning exchanged for were delivered to him.

After absorbing these resources, Xu Ning obtained a total of 60 million units of energy.

This way, Xu Ning had a total of 160 million units of energy.

Even after advancing to rank nine, Xu Ning would still have 40 million units of energy remaining.

After Xu Ning undo his clone, the remaining energy would be merged into his Martial Arts Panel, so there would not be a waste.

Regardless, his main body in the Martial Arts World did not lack these resources.

In the Martial Arts World, Xu Ning was the sect master of the Core Sea Demon Sect, and he was backed by the Duan imperial family.

Xu Ning could easily obtain resources from all over State Wansheng, even from abroad. In the short term, he did not need to worry about lacking resources.

‘I should hurry up and improve…’

Xu Ning thought to himself,?‘After advancing to rank nine, I will comprehend the world origin of the Arcanist World, then return to the Martial Arts World and advance to the grandmaster realm…’

Xu Ning opened the Martial Arts Panel and clicked “+” next to the realm.

…

Consume 120 million units of energy to advance your realm?

Yes / No

…

After confirming this, Xu Ning began to advance.

‘Origin power…’

Xu Ning felt a familiar yet unfamiliar power.

‘This is the origin power of the Arcanist World!’

Because his advancement allowed him to advance straight to the peak, Xu Ning easily touched and understood the origin of the Arcanist World, and his body began to absorb the origin power.

‘Rank nine, completed!’

Xu Ning felt relieved.

With that, his goal of coming to the Arcanist World had been perfectly achieved.

‘In the past, the Core Sea Demon Lord entered the world of arcanists dozens of times, but he only became a rank six arcanist… While I comprehended the origin in my first attempt!’

Xu Ning knew that he was only able to do this because of the Martial Arts Panel.

Two different worlds and two different transcendent paths gave a completely different feeling when one was cultivating.

However, the Martial Arts Panel could ignore such differences and simplify Xu Ning’s advancement mechanism.

‘However, after advancing to rank nine in the Arcanist World, my perception of outer worlds is still very vague…’

Xu Ning also discovered that when he tried to sense other outer worlds, he could only feel a hazy space-time turbulence.

In the Martial Arts World, when he advanced to the ninth stage of the dao realm, Xu Ning could vaguely sense the coordinates of other outer worlds. At that point, it would only take a hundred years to accurately locate them.

But here, he couldn’t sense the existence of other outer worlds at all.

‘Sure enough, just like I guessed before… The rank nine arcanists in the Arcanist World can’t sense the coordinates of the outer worlds at all, thus they can’t comprehend two kinds of origin and advance to rank ten…’

‘But if that is the case, how did the three rank ten arcanists do it?’

Xu Ning was curious.
