Chapter 764 - 386: The Fierce Gray-Robed Men (Part 3)

If the other forces in the universe found out about this, they would probably stop at nothing to seize it.

Fang Zhen triggering the epic hidden task also left him quite bewildered, as he never expected to have the opportunity to build an Advanced Cultivation Tower.

The current Intermediate Cultivation Tower is still decent, but as he reached the high tier of the Heavenly Human Realm, its effects are diminishing. One can imagine that upon reaching the Divine Fusion Realm, even the Fifth Floor Cultivation Room of the Intermediate Cultivation Tower would be quite ordinary. After all, the basic energy environment of Blue Star is too poor; no matter how extraordinary the Intermediate Cultivation Tower is, it cannot turn a pheasant into a phoenix.

However, if an Advanced Cultivation Tower could be built, it should provide decent cultivation effects for the Divine Fusion Realm, compensating for this shortcoming of Blue Star.

Lin Qi immediately took action, opening Fang Zhen’s monitoring view and simultaneously issuing an epic team resource collection mission to the hundred players on Myriad Dragon Star.

On the first-class resource planet, Myriad Dragon Star.

Inside a cave within a vast canyon, Fang Zhen looked at the palm-sized multicolored crystal stone in his hand with surprise, as well as the epic team resource collection mission displayed below his field of vision.

Congratulations to player Fang Zhen for triggering the epic team resource collection mission ’Dragon Crystal.’ Please collect one thousand Dragon Crystals and submit them to the Hall Master. The reward is the learning permissions for the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s Super Tier Divine Fusion Realm Secret Skill. The more extra Dragon Crystals collected, the more generous the additional rewards will be.

"Old Zhen, what did you do?" Yiye Fuyun, seeing the system task just received, couldn’t help but look at Fang Zhen, who was fumbling in the cave pool.

At this moment, not only Yiye Fuyun, but even their companions like Li Ranxing were looking at Fang Zhen from a distance with a sense of surprise.

Today, they entered a public area of Myriad Dragon Star together, thinking about what to collect to complete the task. Unexpectedly, halfway through, they followed a team of twenty NPCs to this cave, and Fang Zhen was able to trigger an epic team task. The task reward, a Super Tier Divine Fusion Realm Secret Skill, isn’t even found on Prison Dragon Star. If they could learn it, their future promotion to the Divine Fusion Realm would be significantly easier.

"I think I found a Dragon Crystal." Fang Zhen replied a bit bewildered.

Earlier, he noticed a flash of light in the dark pool and couldn’t resist grabbing it. To his surprise, it triggered an epic team task, and even now he was somewhat dazed.

"Is that a Dragon Crystal?" Yiye Fuyun looked at the crystal stone emitting multicolored light in Fang Zhen’s hand, exclaiming, "Old Zhen, your luck is remarkable to have found this."

"It was a lucky discovery." Fang Zhen responded with a chuckle.

"Now that the task is triggered, it seems those NPCs aren’t simple, likely related to the task. Let’s keep following." Thousand Blade Evil Spirit glanced at the multicolored crystal stone and suggested looking at the other cave where the NPCs entered.

Players from both Fang Zhen’s and Yiye Fuyun’s teams nodded in agreement. Although uncertain about the NPCs’ purpose, finding the Dragon Crystal required for the task in this cave suggested that there would likely be more deeper inside.

Subsequently, Fang Zhen, Yiye Fuyun, and over a dozen others concealed their presence and quietly moved towards the cave into which the NPCs had gone.

The cave descended continuously, challenging Fang Zhen and the others to walk for several tens of kilometers before arriving at a spacious cavern with a unique ambiance. In this cavern, there was a camp with several hundred individuals of different races mining a depression.

The rocks in this depression were extraordinarily solid. Even though each individual possessed the Qi and Blood of a Half-step Divine Fusion Realm and used professional tools to strike, only sparks flew, leaving just a small nick on the rock. Yet these individuals persisted tirelessly, continuing their excavation.

Only a few minutes later, one individual in the camp unearthed a piece of multicolored crystal stone from the solid rock, showing an expression of excitement.

"Could this NPC camp be the Dragon Crystal vein?" Yiye Fuyun said, eyes shining while looking at the man who dug out the Dragon Crystal.

According to the system task, they needed to collect one thousand Dragon Crystals. However, despite carefully searching on their way here, they hadn’t found a second Dragon Crystal, causing skepticism. The Dragon Crystal Fang Zhen found could be the last Dragon Crystal in the cave, forcing them to search throughout the planet. Such an epic task is indeed worthy of a Super Tier Divine Fusion Realm Training Technique.

But unexpectedly, in the cave’s deepest part, there was a Dragon Crystal vein, significantly speeding up their collection to one thousand Dragon Crystals. If they could collect more than a thousand pieces, they would earn additional rewards, making it all the more satisfying.

"It seems this team task wants us to take control of this camp for mining." Fang Zhen said, analyzing the several hundred NPCs mining there.

"However, there are quite a few NPCs in this camp, each one a Half-step Divine Fusion Realm. Even if all one hundred of us gather, taking it may prove difficult," analyzed Thousand Blade Evil Spirit after observing for a moment.

With over two hundred NPCs in the camp, the weakest were all Half-step Divine Fusion Realm, and there were notably imposing NPCs among them. The players who came to Myriad Dragon Star were only a hundred in number, and there were just over fifty in the Heavenly Human Realm among them. Direct confrontation would likely lead to their swift obliteration, as Half-step Divine Fusion Realm’s advantage was substantial. Their Qi and Blood Power was 2.5 times that of the non-Half-step Divine Fusion, placing these players at a significant disadvantage in Qi and Blood Power.

"What’s to fear?" Yiye Fuyun said nonchalantly, "At worst, we die and come back. As long as these NPCs don’t respawn, I can’t believe we won’t wear them down."

"Indeed, let’s give it a try first." Thousand Blade Evil Spirit realized after contemplation that there was no need for concern. After advancing to the Heavenly Human Realm, although there was no Secret Technique Tower on Myriad Dragon Star to halve the resurrection time, waiting for four hours wasn’t a big deal, and due to the accelerated time, it only required a two-hour wait in reality.

Subsequently, over ten Heavenly Human Realm including Fang Zhen charged directly toward the camp.

As Fang Zhen and others swiftly advanced towards the camp, the more than two hundred individuals who had been mining Dragon Crystals there also noticed Fang Zhen and the group at the very first moment, staring in astonishment.

"What do these grey-clothed people intend to do?"

"With such murderous intent, are these grey-clothed people planning to seize this place?"

"Who exactly are these people? Don’t they know this is a vein managed by the Imperial Country?"
