"You are truly searching for the Genesis Beacon..."
Although she had guessed it before, Wu Ye Lin was still very surprised when Ye Feng confirmed it.
Because, to be frank, for decades since the Great Cataclysm, almost no one had been searching for this thing anymore!
While the seven major powers generally required the elites of the younger generation to search for the Genesis Beacon, it was mostly just a show...
"Sister Lin?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao noticed Wu Ye Lin staring at Ye Feng's left wrist in a daze and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh... Oh..."
Lin came back to her senses. She glanced at Liu Lao Tou and said, "Ye Feng, we... we are specifically here to explore an abandoned large-scale human survivor base this time!"
As she spoke, Wu Ye Lin swept her gaze across the hundreds of explorers in the distance, "It's not just us; those people have the same objective!"
"An abandoned large-scale human survivor base?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's interest was immediately piqued.
Because before, when he had asked Ling Xi about spatial rift fragments, Ling Xi had mentioned that abandoned large-scale human survivor bases were the most likely places to find large quantities of unused spatial rift fragments.
"Mm!"
Wu Ye Lin nodded, "That place is called the Giant Ruins, and it's still seven or eight days away from here. It was accidentally discovered by explorers from our guild!"
"Is that so~!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and asked a rather crucial question, "Was the large-scale human survivor base called the Giant Ruins destroyed a very long time ago?"
"Uh... this... it should be a very long time ago..."
Although she didn't know why Ye Feng was asking this, Wu Ye Lin still answered.
"That place was originally called Giant City Sanctuary, but for some reason, it was suddenly wiped out... to be precise, it suddenly went silent... until it was recently discovered by explorers from our guild..."
Wu Ye Lin paused and added.
"I see~"
Ye Feng was quite pleased, "Lin, then there should be many unused spatial rift fragments in such a base, right?!"
"Yes... that's right~"
Wu Ye Lin looked at Ye Feng with some bewilderment, "But those are the most useless resources. Explorers generally don't risk exploring abandoned large-scale human survivor bases specifically for spatial rift fragments. They usually store the salvaged supplies and just happen to put them in."
"Oh, then can I go with you?"
Ye Feng looked at Wu Ye Lin with anticipation.
"This..."
Mentioning this, Wu Ye Lin hesitated, "Ye Feng, please don't mind me speaking frankly... Large-scale human survivor bases like the Giant Ruins are extremely dangerous... especially when we have no idea about the cause of their destruction..."
"And... and there are so many exploration teams... they are all getting along peacefully now... but once they reach the Giant Ruins, if it involves some rare resources..."
Before Wu Ye Lin could finish speaking, Liu Lao Tou interjected, "You can!"
"Uncle Liu!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ye Lin was very surprised because Liu Lao Tou's tone was very firm.
"Young heroes are indeed formidable!"
Liu Lao Tou sighed slightly, his expression filled with emotion. "Ye Feng's strength... is probably beyond mine!"
He had been observing Ye Feng and noticed that the fluctuations of arcane energy on Ye Feng were almost imperceptible. He tried to sense it, but his mental power disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, vanishing instantly...
"Wha... what?"
Hearing this, Wu Ye Lin and Lei Jian Quan looked as if they had seen a ghost.
After all, in Frost City, Ye Feng had not yet awakened his arcane energy. Wu Ye Lin, Liu Lao Tou, and Lei Jian had tried many methods, but all failed...
Coupled with Ye Feng's age, they had once thought that Ye Feng would probably never have anything to do with arcane energy in his life. However, in Frost City, Ye Feng's combat power seemed somewhat special because of the Tang Dao...
Liu Lao Tou did not speak, but quietly looked at Ye Feng.
Then, Wu Ye Lin and Lei Jian also shifted their gaze to Ye Feng.
"Golden Rank Eight?"
Under their gaze, Ye Feng slowly spoke.
"Wha... what? Gol... Golden Rank Eight?"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Wu Ye Lin looked incredulous.
She hadn't sensed any arcane energy fluctuations from Ye Feng just now and thought that Ye Feng, like in Frost City, hadn't awakened his arcane energy, but...
Before Wu Ye Lin could recover from her shock, Liu Lao Tou uttered something even more shocking to her.
"Young lady, Ye Feng is talking about my strength!"
Liu Lao Tou smiled slightly and said.
"This..."
Wu Ye Lin swallowed, her beautiful eyes filled with unparalleled shock.
"Mm!"
Ye Feng looked at Wu Ye Lin and nodded gently.
"Damn it!"
"The gap between people is even greater than the gap between humans and dogs!"
At this moment, Lei Jian's voice rang out, "Back in Frost City, Ye Feng, you hadn't awakened your arcane energy yet. Now... your strength is at least Golden Rank Eight..."
"I... I tried my best and almost died several times... I only broke through to Golden Rank not long ago and received the Golden Medal..."
"This is simply outrageous!"
Lei Jian looked at Ye Feng as if he had seen a ghost.
"I... I have always been called a genius... but I am only... only Golden Rank Two... What kind of genius am I..."
Wu Ye Lin was clearly also deeply affected.
"Young lady, everyone's cultivation path is different. Ye Feng must have had some fortunate encounter! Do not doubt your past efforts because of this!"
"Lei Jian, you too!"
Seeing this, Liu Lao Tou solemnly admonished Wu Ye Lin and Lei Jian.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Wu Ye Lin and Lei Jian responded in unison, their expressions quite firm.
"Indeed... my situation is quite special!"
Ye Feng scratched his head and said to the two of them.
"Wait... wait a moment..."
Suddenly, Wu Ye Lin seemed to have discovered something. She stared intently at Xiao Xiao, "Uncle... Uncle Liu, Ye Feng's strength is higher than mine, and I can't sense Ye Feng's strength, but... how can Xiao Xiao also?"
"Golden Rank Five!"
Liu Lao Tou frowned, his voice also filled with surprise.
"This..."
Wu Ye Lin and Lei Jian looked at each other, both with expressions of disbelief.
Even among the explorers of the seven major powers, they had both broken through to the Golden Rank at such a young age, and they could definitely be considered geniuses...
But Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao in front of them dealt a great blow to their hearts. One Ye Feng was already enough, but now even Xiao Xiao...
"By the way, Lin, where is this place?"
At this moment, Ye Feng asked a question that might be insignificant or even boring to others, but was very important to him.
"Where?"
Wu Ye Lin was slightly stunned. She looked around, "I don't know the name of this place either... Ye Feng, are you asking for the route to the Giant Ruins?"
