Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Peerless Genius

On an incredibly remote and desolate planet in the Solar System, Jin Mola’s face was still a mask of bitter resentment.

The Purple Brilliance Crystal Stones, and the great treasure he had discovered here, had been all but in his grasp, yet Li Yang had completely ruined it all.

DING!

Just then, Jin Mola’s communicator suddenly rang, and he hurriedly answered.

Baluka appeared before Jin Mola.

"Elder Qi."

Baluka’s face was incredibly grim. He stared at Jin Mola and said in a heavy voice, "Jin Mola, who is this Li Yang? You didn’t know he broke through to the Law Realm?"

Jin Mola could only bear the brunt of Baluka’s fury, though he felt incredibly wronged himself.

"Elder Qi, Li Yang is the second strongest on Earth. He suddenly appeared three months ago. He must have obtained some cultivation resources and quickly reached the Peak of King Level."

"He ’must have obtained’ cultivation resources?"

Baluka roared, "You couldn’t investigate something so important thoroughly?"

His face was filled with rage. ’This Jin Mola really is a good-for-nothing.’

Jin Mola felt aggrieved. In truth, he had never taken Li Yang seriously before.

An eighteen-year-old at the Law Realm was a rarity even in their great Yuanlan Clan. The odds of one appearing on a tiny, backward planet like Earth were, in his mind, zero.

He never expected that this very oversight would lead to the complete failure of his plan to invade Earth.

After fuming for a moment, Baluka said in a heavy voice, "Come back. Don’t stay on Earth any longer."

Hearing this, Jin Mola was stunned. He quickly asked, "Elder Qi, are we just giving up on the Purple Brilliance Crystal Stones?"

At Jin Mola’s words, Baluka’s face darkened instantly. "You idiot! Earth has already made contact with the Human Race Saint Hall! Not only that, but the Saint Hall has dispatched personnel to assist its development. And Li Yang... he was personally invited by Lord Candy to join the Milky Way branch of the Saint Hall. You dare to interfere in Earth’s affairs again? Lu Tower could kill you on the spot, and there would be no repercussions."

’This Jin Mola really is an idiot,’ he thought. ’Is Earth somewhere we can meddle with right now?’

To touch Earth’s resources now would be robbery. If Li Yang and the others reported it, the Human Race Saint Hall would directly dispatch people to arrest them.

When a Planet Zero is judged to have potential, it receives a special grace period for newcomers, lasting for several decades.

This was because no one could predict how a Planet Zero would develop after making true contact with cosmic civilization.

There was once a Planet Zero whose development was slow, but the moment it made contact with the Cosmos, it immediately took flight! Geniuses emerged one after another on the planet, and in the end, an existence at the Divine Realm was even born!

It was for this very reason that the branches of the Human Race Saint Hall paid special attention to all new Planet Zeros that showed potential, just like Earth, monitoring their development closely.

Trying to plunder Earth’s resources at a time like this? That was simply courting death.

Even he wouldn’t dare to entertain the slightest thought of it.

Of course, the most important reason was that the Purple Brilliance Crystal Stone veins were not worth the risk.

Jin Mola’s expression was ugly, his eyes darting back and forth. He looked at Baluka and said suddenly, "Elder Qi, the place I’m at right now is a desolate planet in a remote part of Earth’s Solar System. I’ve discovered a Dragon Scale Stone here!"

"A Dragon Scale Stone?"

Hearing Jin Mola’s words, Baluka’s expression changed drastically, an astonishing light flaring in his eyes. "Is that true?"

"Yes, Elder Qi. I found two of them. Based on the records about Dragon Scale Stones, I can guarantee that a Dragon Scale Insect exists in the core of this planet!" Jin Mola said.

By now, Baluka’s expression had completely changed, his gaze shifting rapidly.

A Dragon Scale Insect... he knew what a precious thing that was!

That was something even powerhouses at the Peak of World Realm would fight to the death to obtain!

If news of this got out, a huge number of Cultivators at the Peak of World Realm would descend upon the Solar System and snatch the Dragon Scale Insect away!

The World Realm... their great Yuanlan Clan only had a few such experts.

Seeing the change in Baluka’s expression, Jin Mola couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Qi, what about Earth..."

Hearing this, Baluka said directly, "No matter what, Jin Mola, you definitely can’t make a move on Earth. Besides, as for the Dragon Scale Insect... even a World Realm powerhouse would need to put in some effort to dig that thing out. It’s impossible for you to excavate it."

The materials surrounding a Dragon Scale Insect are even harder to dig than ore. Without the corresponding strength, you couldn’t even chip off a single fragment.

Even with this news, Baluka’s decision was still to stay far away from Earth.

His own power was only at the Peak of Longevity Realm, and Lu Tower, the one assisting Earth’s development, was also at the Peak of Longevity Realm. There was nothing he could do.

Seeing the unwillingness on Jin Mola’s face, Baluka added, "Although we can’t do anything, we can report the information up the chain."

At these words, Jin Mola’s eyes lit up. "Elder Qi, who do we report it to?"

Their status in the clan was very low; you could say that practically no one cared about them. If they reported it through normal channels, they would probably just be brushed off with a meager reward.

The person they chose to report to had to be someone who could bring them the greatest benefits.

Baluka clearly had an answer in mind. "Young Master Tianluo."

"Young Master Tianluo?" Upon hearing the name, Jin Mola was overjoyed. "Elder Qi, will Young Master Tianluo give us a great reward?"

Their great Yuanlan Clan had existed for an unknown number of years, and the clan naturally focused on cultivating geniuses. Among them, Young Master Tianluo was the most powerful and peerless genius in their clan!

He was currently at the Peak of Law Realm, the same as Jin Mola himself.

But while their realms were the same, their statuses were as far apart as heaven and earth.

In terms of strength, Young Master Tianluo could even kill Cultivators at the Longevity Realm, a level above his own. Against someone like Jin Mola, it would be an instant kill!

In the Yuanlan Clan, no one paid any attention to him, but Young Master Tianluo was highly valued by the clan, and was even attended by a powerhouse at the Star Lord Realm!

Having a Star Lord as a protector for Young Master Tianluo showed his incredible status within the clan!

In the future, he even had a slight chance of breaking through to the Divine Realm and becoming the second Divine Realm powerhouse in the Yuanlan Clan!

In the Cosmos, only those who could cross major realms to kill enemies were considered true peerless geniuses. The ability to fight above one’s level meant their comprehension of the laws was far beyond that of others.

Once a genius like this appeared, countless factions would fight over them, vying to recruit them.

However, he, Jin Mola, was not qualified to associate with Young Master Tianluo, and the young master wouldn’t give him a second glance.

"Mm, I helped Young Master Tianluo once before."

Baluka said calmly, "I will contact him in a moment. I expect Young Master Tianluo will take the initiative to contact you. You can talk to him then."

"Yes, Elder Qi!" Jin Mola nodded hurriedly.

To be able to form a connection with Young Master Tianluo was something he had only dreamed of.

Jin Mola waited, and within a few minutes, his communicator rang again.

Jin Mola immediately stood at attention as the virtual image of a young man appeared before him.
