Chapter 588: Methods for Collecting Resources

After successfully solving the problem with the teleportation array, the next step was to figure out how to gather the materials for the Fourth Generation Cave Paradise.

Yi Chen traveled a long distance to the Tree Star Cluster primarily to break through to level 150.

Secondly, he wanted to see if he could collect the materials needed for the Fourth Generation Cave Paradise.

Gathering materials for the Third Generation Cave Paradise mostly relied on borrowing from the human federation.

A small portion came from his trips to the Undying Star System, where he hunted the strong fighters on the Undying Star to gather the corresponding materials.

Right now, this method was definitely not usable in the Tree Star Cluster.

Because he lacked strength.

On the Undying Star, he could easily kill fighters above level 120 by himself.

Moreover, even the Undying King could only faintly sense his presence but could not actually track him down.

With his strength realm at that time, even though he couldn’t defeat the Undying King, he could easily escape using his teleportation ability.

He only chose to hunt strong fighters on the Undying Star to gather materials because he had absolute confidence in his self-defense.

This was also the fastest way to collect various materials and resources and treasures.

But now, that was not the case.

He lacked the assurance for self-defense.

This was the Tree Star Cluster; he could not avoid the perception of fighters above level 210, let alone the stealth techniques of the Shadow King.

Even if the Shadow King’s realm rose to level 210, he could still only evade the perception of strong fighters at level 230.

There was still enormous risk.

Not to mention that although the Shadow King began training using the Heart of Time, causing his training speed to surge thousands of times, it still wouldn’t allow him to break through to level 210 in a month or two.

No matter how important the resources and treasures were, they must be gathered under the premise of ensuring safety.

Therefore, Yi Chen had to settle for a compromise, finding a method with a slower speed of acquiring resources and treasures but with relatively low risk.

“Mares, can you help me obtain an identifiable identity from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe without exposing that I have returned to the Tree Star Cluster?”

“Sure!”

Mares responded affirmatively, “To gather information, I have cultivated many spies. These spies are absolutely loyal and have all signed a life-and-death contract with me, and no one knows they are related to me. I just need one spy to relinquish their identity and find a place to hide and train, but…”

“I will create a set of skills to simulate the aura of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”

Yi Chen understood what Mares was worried about.

He was simply concerned that Yi Chen would have the identity of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe but would not be able to mask the human form and aura.

Yi Chen’s idea was also very simple.

That was to create a set of skills that could change aura and appearance, allowing him to transform into the image of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

This was not difficult for him at all.

In fact, back during the subdivided spirit stage, he could easily morph into the appearance of any race.

When he created the Soul Searching Technique, he could already simulate the energy aura of any race, thereby reducing the resistance of the target’s biological magnetic field.

The real challenge lies in whether one can avoid the tests related to the treasures and the perception of the strong.

In this star cluster, with his current strength realm, no matter what race image he transformed into or what aura he simulated, even the strongest members of various tribes would absolutely find no flaws.

But in the Tree Star Cluster, his level 150 strength realm was a bit lacking.

The difficulty was still considerable.

At the very least, he had to ensure that a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, like Mares, who barely entered the ranks of the strong, couldn’t sense the truth.

"Then… what kind of identity does Your Majesty need?"

Mares asked.

"A genius who has just reached level 150."

Yi Chen replied without hesitation.

"I will contact the right spy now!"

Mares nodded; he had many spies under him, so finding a similar one wouldn’t be hard.

"Take your time; check your Space Stone for any mid to low-grade immortal ores and materials related to such an aura, as well as any treasures that can test strength realms. If you have any, bring them to me."

Yi Chen instructed, while also sending a message to the training Shadow King and Shadow Kings to find any related immortal ores and materials.

He planned to create this type of skill while attempting to forge an Immortal-level Artifact with similar effects that could complement one another.

"Yes!"

Mares, the Shadow King, and the five Shadow Kings all took out their Space Stones to search for the materials Yi Chen needed.

"Your Majesty, it sounds like you want to take risks and participate in those coliseums?"

Bai Ruo Xin couldn’t help but ask.

"Smart!"

Yi Chen nodded.

That was indeed his plan.

Robbery in the Tree Star Cluster was inconvenient and could easily attract the pursuit of powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, making it too risky.

In this case, there were still many ways to quickly acquire resources and treasures.

For example, with his talent and weapon refining technique, he could easily refine a batch of spiritual artifacts suitable for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and sell them.

Tenfold, or even a hundred-thousand-fold profits would be easy.

Unfortunately, his current strength realm was a bit too lacking.

He could only refine some low-grade Immortal-level Artifacts.

Though tenfold and a hundred-thousand-fold profits were impressive, they required a lot of time for refining, which could affect his training speed.

Fortunately, there was a risk that lay between robbery and selling Immortal-level Artifacts.

That was to find a coliseum and sign up for a fight.

He possessed the ability to overcome strong enemies across major realms, and he would similarly have an advantage in the coliseum.

Participating in fights, the prize money was nothing significant.

But betting on himself to win would be entirely different.

He already held a massive amount of resources and treasures, so betting heavily on his victory would result in unimaginable profits.

Bai Ruo Xin had clearly deduced his thoughts from his preparation to develop a disguise skill as a Tree-Dwelling Tribe member and his request to Mares and others for testing treasures.

"Isn’t this too risky?"

Bai Ruo Xin cautioned, "Once you bet too high, it will definitely attract a lot of prying eyes and robbery."

"It’s fine!"

Yi Chen raised his hand, "Just choose those coliseums located on planets where strong fighters above level 220 rarely go."

"Alright then…"

Seeing Yi Chen’s determination, Bai Ruo Xin stopped insisting and curiously asked, "Can I learn this skill?"

"Even if I lower the difficulty so you can learn it, it wouldn’t be useful. Your strength realm is too low; you’d only be able to fool those Tree-Dwelling Tribe members around level 100."

Yi Chen smiled, "If you want to watch the excitement, you can just stay in the flying treasure. The effect of the flying treasure’s Perception Ability shielding is such that only fighters above level 200 can sense it at close range."

"Moreover, even if fighters above level 200 sense the flying treasure’s presence, they wouldn’t know who’s inside."

Bai Ruo Xin nodded repeatedly.

The Little Gold Ball next to them excitedly punched the air.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Mares, the Shadow King, and the five Shadow Kings gathered all the resource materials Yi Chen needed.

They placed all these materials into a Space Stone and handed it to Yi Chen.
