Chapter 357 – The Tidal Treasure Snail Evolves

“Oh right,”

Ye Xuan saw Lin Shiru look towards him and suddenly remembered. “Did the Divine Nature Palace also give you instructions on the evolutionary path your Divine Nature Ring would take?” he asked.

“Yes.”

Lin Shiru answered happily, “the first time my Divine Nature Ring could evolve would be after I evolve to master level.”

“Then, with enough evolutionary resources, I could evolve it to master level three stars while maintaining the current beast grade.”

No evolution until master level?

And only three stars beast grade?

Ye Xuan thought to himself.

When he analyzed Lin Shiru’s Divine Nature Ring before, he found out that there wasn’t only one evolutionary path it could follow.

Of those many paths were several that had to wait until after master level.

But those paths ultimately could only evolve to legendary one star or legendary two stars beast grade.

They were not that strong.

Only the path he analyzed before, which allows the Divine Nature Ring to evolve to master level five stars, was the correct path.

Then, without hesitation, he said to Lin Shiru, “When I received the enlightenment from the Four Saints School earlier, it had a description of your Divine Nature Ring.

“Of the many evolutionary paths it can take, there is one that would become really powerful. So just listen to the path I prescribe to you from now on.”

The enlightenment from the Four Saints School contained information on the Divine Nature Ring?

And their enlightenment was better than the Divine Nature Palace’s enlightenment?

Lin Shiru was astonished upon hearing this.

“Ok,”

She looked at Ye Xuan oddly and said in a strange tone, “Then I guess I’ll be taking the evolutionary path you give me from now on.”

“Good girl.”

Ye Xuan let out a devious laugh. Then he told her all of the evolutionary resources the Divine Nature Ring needs to evolve the first time.

Lin Shiru glared at Ye Xuan.

Then she began concentrating on what he had to say.

She quickly memorized all the evolutionary resources Ye Xuan listed.

Ye Xuan benefited greatly from this trip to the Divine Nature Palace.

After she finished hearing Ye Xuan’s list, she was filled with astonishment.

She would never have thought that the first evolution of her Divine Nature Ring would require eight whole monarch-level evolutionary resources.

But if it was really as Ye Xuan said that the first evolution would take her Divine Nature Ring to master level five stars,

then even a dozen monarch-level evolutionary resources would be worth it.

Thinking this, she did not hesitate

and opted to use her contribution points to redeem evolutionary resources from the Divine Nature Palace.

Eight pieces of monarch-level evolutionary resources was a lot.

But she gained so many points from the trials.

She felt like a wealthy magnate.

which meant that they could only be used on her own beasts.

She could not trade or give them away to someone else like Ye Xuan.

But luckily, her cultivation had surpassed Ye Xuan now.

Under the effect of the Love Mark, she would boost Ye Xuan’s cultivation as well.

And in turn, boost the cultivation speed of Ye Xuan’s beasts.

Which would again, boost Ye Xuan’s cultivation speed.

“It’s about time that my Tidal Treasure Snail should evolve too.”

As Lin Shiru was selecting out evolutionary resources, Ye Xuan was in his thought and turned his attention to the Tidal Treasure Snail inside his beast lair.

Ever since this little fellow received that little black bell, he had been working tirelessly to devour it.

Its current form’s cultivation level was not only at peak platinum level,

its beast grade was also four stars platinum.

It had been time to combo edit it again.

It was just that before, Ye Xuan did not have any challenger-level space element secret treasures. So he had to wait.

But now, he was confident that he could evolve it again.

“Let’s give this little black bell a break until you reach diamond level.”

Then, Ye Xuan opened the Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea’s redeemable items list in his mind.

Then he saw his luck points had increased by a decent chunk.

From the eighteen hundred-some points before to the current two thousand three hundred and twenty-two points.

Clearly, the increase in luck had to do with the one monarch’s evolutionary resources, two secret treasures, and one legendary level evolutionary resource he got from the Divine Nature Palace.

This boosted his renown by a significant margin as well.

Then, Ye Xuan began searching through the Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea’s redeemable items list for secret treasures required to combo edit the Tidal Treasure Snail.

It was very easy to find.

Because secret treasures had a special selection function.

He only had to gloss over his conscience through the Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea’s redeemable items list and selected the option for challenger-level space element secret treasures.

Then the list displayed countless secret treasures that fit the search.

Clearly, the Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea had a more extensive selection compared to the Divine Nature Palace.

“Super Challenger Level Divine Space Blade. It can be utilized by space element beasts to slash open dimensions and attack enemies that have escaped into the void.”

“Super Challenger Level Space Ocean Sailboat. It can be used by space element beast tamers or space element beasts to drastically increase their speed. Great for long-distance travels.”

“Super Challenger Level Space Sensory Spirit Pearl. It can greatly increase space element beasts’ sensory ability and counter-espionage ability.”

As Ye Xuan read across these secret treasures’ descriptions one by one, he came to a stop when he read about the Space Sensory Spirit Pearl.

Earlier at the Divine Nature Palace’s trial grounds, both Wan Jinghui and Fan Jian were able to discover the sensory ability of his Tidal Treasure Snail. This development bummed him out greatly.

And now, after reading the description of this Space Sensory Spirit Pearl, he was immediately intrigued.

He wondered if he chose this Space Sensory Spirit Pearl to combo edit the Tidal Treasure Snail, would its sensory ability increase?

To Ye Xuan, the Tidal Treasure Snail’s most important ability was its space sensory power-based real-time mini-map.

In comparison, every other ability was just nice to have extras.

They were not that important to Ye Xuan.

Even the treasure hunting, treasure devouring, and treasure stashing abilities were nowhere as important to Ye Xuan as the real-time mini-map.

In his eyes, the real-time mini-map was the core function of this Tidal Treasure Snail.

“I choose Space Sensory Spirit Pearl!”

Ye Xuan made his decision.

One Space Sensory Spirit Orb costed three hundred and fifty-two luck points.

It was very lucrative.

It was almost a dozen fold the price of challenger-level evolutionary resources.

And not even the price of any ordinary challenger-level evolutionary resources.

But Ye Xuan did not really have a choice.

He did not know where else he could find challenger-level space element secret treasures.

These things were extremely hard to come by.

“Buzz!”

At that moment, after he had made his selection, a beam of light formed out of the void and fell brought forth a purple box with flowery patterns before him.

Clearly, that Space Sensory Spirit Pearl lied inside the purple box.

Ye Xuan immediately opened the purple box.

Shoo!

After Ye Xuan opened the box, a warm beam of white light emanated from within.

Through this beam of white light, Ye Xuan felt the strands of space element energy encapsulated within.

Ye Xuan took out the pearl from the purple box and played with it in his hands. After a while, he tossed it into his beast lair.

“Edit!”

Without hesitation, he took out the beast editor and selected the option to edit.

Vroom!

As he made his selection, the Tidal Treasure Snail vigorously devouring the little black bell inside his beast lair stopped and shuddered.

For the past two days, after it had found out other people could notice its space sensory ability, it felt really uneasy.

So it had been working hard to evolve to the diamond level ever since.

It worked hard not only to better aid Ye Xuan but also to prove itself.

This was why when Ye Xuan tossed the Space Sensory Spirit Orb in its beast lair, it was so fixated on the little black bell that it did not notice.

It was only through its treasure hunting ability that it felt a strong treasure scent and one that would emanate from treasures greatly beneficial to it.

But still, it decided to first take another bite out of the little black bell before checking what was going on.

Then suddenly, it felt a strange sensation pulse through its body, as if something had entered its system and became a part of it.

“What is this?”

Feeling that strange sensation, the Tidal Treasure Snail suddenly remembered something and immediately spat out the little black bell.

Apparently, that thing tasted sweet.

But it was a far cry compared to what had just entered its body.

Just like that, the once precious little black bell had been relegated to the dessert after the main course.

“Vroom!”

In the next moment, it felt its aura strengthen and its power increase many folds.

“A complete success!”

Ye Xuan sensed the Tidal Treasure Snail’s change in the aura.

As it evolves, it could extract more power from the Space Sensory Spirit Pearl, which in turn would help it cultivate faster.

That caused the size of his beast lair to increase drastically as well.

He immediately took out the beast editor and performed an analysis on the newly evolved Tidal Treasure Snail.

[Tidal Treasure Snail: (Space Element/ Mystery Element): Four Stars

Level: Mid Diamond Level

Abilities 1, 2, 3: Level 3 (Tidal Spiral, Tidal Vortex, Real-time Map)

The real-time mini-map has the capability of detecting everything within a six thousand mile radius.

The Tidal Treasure Snail can also search for entities within interlayer space while drastically reducing its chance of being discovered by the observed.

Abilities 4, 5, 6: Level 3 (Treasure Hunting, Treasure Devouring, Treasure Stashing)

The Tidal Treasure Snail can detect treasures within a twelve thousand mile radius.

Ability 7: Level 2 Treasure Snail Image

Ability 8: Level 3 Sky Cutting Blade

Ability 9: Level 3 Space Reversal

The Tidal Treasure Snail can use Space Reversal to teleport objects with the maximum height and width of a hundred meters.

The self-destruction distance of the Treasure Snail Image has to be within fifty thousand meters of the actual Tidal Treasure Snail.

Ability 10: Level 2 Space Exile

After a Treasure Snail Image self destructs, it could subsequently form a space barrier that envelopes an entity, regardless of whether it is an object or life form

to a random location fifty thousand to a hundred thousand meters away.

The effects of this ability can be overcome by force.

Ability 11: Space Mark

Currently, only a maximum of two Space Marks could be placed at a single time]

In just a moment, Ye Xuan had completed the analysis of all the improvements of the newly evolved Tidal Treasure Snail.

This time was unlike any other time before.

Because after this evolution, the Tidal Treasure Snail did not gain any new abilities.

But its original abilities, especially the radius of the real-time mini-map went from its previous five hundred miles

and increased by an astonishing twelve folds.

It all of a sudden increased to six thousand miles.

Seeing such a drastic improvement, even Ye Xuan had to be stunned.

Compared to any evolutions before, the Tidal Treasure Snail evolution this time increased its power at an unprecedented pace.

Taking into account that its current form was only diamond four stars.

And only mid-diamond level at that.

So what would happen if the Tidal Treasure Snail evolves to master level? And what about the challenger level after that?

Ye Xuan could not even imagine.

Especially after it reaches challenger level, Ye Xuan speculated that it would not be entirely impossible for the real-time mini-map to cover the entire Cerulean Planet.

At the same time, it was just as he had hoped that the Tidal Treasure Snail’s counter-espionage ability had greatly increased after the evolution.

This gave him the urge to find either Wan Jinghui or Fan Jian to test it out against them.
