Pick them up!

Wang Teng didn't think too much. He immediately picked up the attribute bubbles.

Ancient Shadow Rune*10

Ancient Shadow Rune*15

Ancient Shadow Rune*12

...

As expected, it's an ancient shadow rune. Wang Teng was elated.

The attribute bubbles surged into his mind and turned into enlightenment.

These enlightenments turned into strange runes. They were distorted and illusory like shadows, as if they were etched in his mind. It was exceptionally strange.

At first, Wang Teng planned to comprehend the ancient shadow runes himself. Now that he had picked up attribute bubbles, it saved him much trouble. His understanding of the ancient shadow runes rose instantly.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave. He was still a few days away from his target planetary sector so he had nothing to do. He might as well stay here and study the ancient shadow runes.

Thus, for the next few days, Wang Teng stayed here to comprehend the ancient shadow runes while picking up attribute bubbles.

Feng Jin and Heng Ke contacted him through their wristwatches. If anything happened, they would inform him immediately.

However, the journey was peaceful. No accidents happened.

The Soaring Serpent Guards were extremely secretive and careful. If they didn't appear voluntarily, outsiders wouldn't be able to find them, including the dark apparitions.

If not, the Soaring Serpent Guards wouldn't have the right to become the intelligence agency of the alliance army.

At the same time, Wang Teng had already sent the information the Soaring Serpent Guards received to Commander Xing Ce. He

immediately mobilized the martial warriors from the Tianlan Territorial Domain, and headed to the target planetary sector secretly. He was determined to give the dark apparitions a head-on blow.

You could say that the information Wang Teng provided was extremely important.

Ever since the war with the dark apparitions started, the alliance had been at a disadvantage. Now, they were finally going to take the initiative to attack. Many martial warriors rubbed their hands in anticipation.

Tianlan Territorial Domain.

Numerous spacecrafts were flying towards the target planetary

sector along the hidden routes.

These spacecrafts came from the various factions in the Tianlan Territorial Domain, including the Tianfeng Empire, the Darao Empire, the Vasco Federation, and the Tianlan Mountain.

After all, the dark apparitions had appeared in the Tianlan Territorial Domain and were suspected of having ulterior motives towards a planet in the Tianlan Territorial Domain. The four overlords couldn't sit still anymore.

The alliance army wouldn't be able to reach the target planetary sector quickly so the best method was to use the local factions of the Tianlan Territorial Domain.

This was their business.

What the alliance army needed to do was to provide a certain amount of information, coordination, and commanding.

The factions in the Tianlan Territorial Domain understood that they needed the help of the alliance army so they retracted their arrogance and listened to the alliance's arrangement and command obediently.

Many days later.

Wang Teng sat cross-legged on the Flying Serpent spacecraft and slowly opened his eyes. Distorted and illusory runes flashed past his

eyes. He looked divine.

Ancient Shadow Rune: 1050/3000 (well-versed)

"I've finally reached the well-versed stage."

Wang Teng glanced at the attributes board and smiled.

With his tireless efforts, he finally managed to knock the metal walls covered with ancient shadow runes.

He studied the runes while picking up attribute bubbles. His speed of enlightenment wasn't slow. Within a few days, he had reached the well-versed stage from the foundation stage. His mastery wasn't low.

A normal rune master wouldn't be able to do it in such a short time. Even a saint level rune master might not be able to do it. Ancient shadow runes were rare. They were a type of Ancient Runes that were hard to grasp. Their difficulty was comparable to the

Ancient Space Runes.

However, to Wang Teng, it was much easier.

He possessed the third-rank Shadow Talent and was a saint level rune master. What's more, he could pick up attribute bubbles. It would be a joke if he couldn't reach the well-versed stage.

These ancient shadow runes are mainly used for concealment. If

there are offensive runes, I might be able to raise them to specialized stage. Wang Teng jerked his head in disappointment.

"Wang Teng, we're here."

Round Ball appeared and spoke.

It didn't want to disturb Wang Teng so it kept quiet. Now that he had

woken up, it immediately told him the news.

"How long have you been here?" Wang Teng was stunned.

"Not too long. Just half an hour," Round Ball replied. "If you don't wake

up, I will wake you up."

He wasn't stupid. Studying the ancient shadow runes was critical but this wasn't a small matter. Hence, he couldn't wait too long for Wang

Teng.

"You did the right thing." Wang Teng nodded.

He wasn't worried that Round Ball would disturb him. Most of the

time, he relied on picking up attributes to gain enlightenment. He

didn't need to be disturbed.

Occasionally, an important enlightenment would appear and it was his own. Round Ball wouldn't disturb him easily.

"Also, I've already used your name to give an order for the Soaring Serpent Guards to start collecting nearby information," Round Ball

added.

"Yes." Wang Teng stood up and asked, "Did you gain anything?"

"I located traces of many dark apparitions. The Soaring Serpent Guards should be able to find the planet soon," Round Ball smiled and

replied.

"That's good." Wang Teng smiled too. "It's time for me to appear."

He disappeared on the spot and reappeared in the main control room

of the spacecraft.

"Wang Teng!"

"Sir!"

Feng Jin and Heng Ke heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Wang

Teng.

"Alright." Wang Teng nodded at them and asked, "Have the people sent by the alliance arrived?"

"We're almost there. We will reach in two to three hours," Heng Ke replied respectfully.

"What kind of people are they?" Wang Teng asked.

Heng Ke immediately told Wang Teng about the factions sent by the

alliance army. The Soaring Serpent Guards were a intelligence

gathering department, so they had a clear grasp of the Tianlan Territorial Domain's factions.

"Four great factions!" Wang Teng blinked and nodded slightly.

Based on Heng Ke's introduction, the Tianfeng Empire, the Darao Empire, and the Vasco Federation were all high-tier civilizations in

the universe.

Althouh there was a difference in ability between high-tier civilizations, as long as it was a high-tier civilization, they wouldn't be weak. Since they sent martial warriors, they wouldn't disappoint

them.

"As for the Tianlan Mountain..." Wang Teng's attention was on the four

factions. This faction called "Tianlan Mountain' was special in the Tianlan Territorial Domain. It was known as the Tianlan Territorial Domain. "Wang Teng, this Tianlan Mountain is extraordinary," Round Ball said

immediately. It seemed to have found something. "Oh? Tell me about it," Wang Teng said.

"Tianlan Mountain. From its name, it's really a huge mountain. However, this mountain is bigger than the Tianzhu Planet. It's the first

faction to appear in the Tianlan Territorial Domain. However, Tianlan Mountain didn't take over the Tianlan Territorial Domain and allowed it to develop freely. Many talented martial warriors joined Tianlan Mountain and cultivated there for some time. Gradually, they rose in the Tianlan Territorial Domain. As time went by, these formidable warriors formed the three high-tier civilizations..." Round Ball started

explaining.

"The three high-tier civilizations were built by powerful martial warriors from the Tianlan Mountain?!" Wang Teng gasped in shock. "Yes, not many people know about this. Everyone only knows that the

Tianlan Mountain has a high status in the Tianlan Territorial Domain. They don't know why," Round Ball said.

"How did you find it?" Wang Teng frowned and asked.

"Haha, I got this information from the Soaring Serpent Guards." Round

Ball sniggered. "You might not know how much information the Soaring Serpent Guards have that the outside world doesn't. With

your authority to monitor history and my ability, you can find this

information."

"Good riddance." Wang Teng complained, "If they find out, I won't be able to monitor them anymore."

"Don't worry, I'm very careful." Round Ball said, "If it was a powerful faction like the Virtual Universe Corporation, I wouldn't dare to infiltrate their ranks. However, the Soaring Serpent Guards is just an intelligence agency. Coincidentally, you became an inspector and provided me with channels. It shouldn't be a problem."

"I hope so. I might get killed if you make a mistake." Wang Teng rolled his eyes.

"In that case, you need to raise me to the universe level as soon as possible. I'll be safer then," Round Ball said.
