544: Chapter 539 Absorbing the Energy of the Black Blade 544: Chapter 539 Absorbing the Energy of the Black Blade “Bingbing, I know this is a difficult task, but the person known as Tian Shisan is a very terrifying individual, and what’s even scarier is the power behind him!”
“When I crossed swords with Tian Shisan, he once said that behind him, there’s a clan of people, and if this entire clan were to emerge, they would overturn the whole world.”
“So, Bingbing, please use all your strength to find any clues about the race of people behind Tian Shisan!”
Ye Tian spoke urgently, but Wang Bingbing replied with only one word.
“Oh!”
After saying this, Wang Bingbing hung up the phone.
Ye Tian knew that with Wang Bingbing’s character, she would definitely mobilize all the strength she could to search, but even so, Ye Tian didn’t believe that Wang Bingbing would be able to find any clues immediately.
In the face of Tian Shisan and the mysterious people behind him, the Ice Snow Queen and the Ice Snow Bar would probably be insignificant.
Of course, Ye Tian didn’t ask the Hungry Wolf to take on this task this time because he knew very well that the Hungry Wolf and his men were not adept at searching, and since the Hungry Wolf’s forces were mainly concentrated in Jiang City, it would be fruitless to have the Hungry Wolf search for the clan behind Tian Shisan.
Ye Tian’s personal search capabilities were not limited to Wang Bingbing’s Ice Snow Bar and the Hungry Wolf’s forces; he could also make use of the internet.
He opened his computer, entered the browser, and typed in a series of IP addresses.
Soon, the all-black website of Sky Net appeared in front of Ye Tian.
Sky Net was the most powerful intelligence agency in the world, but few people knew about it, and even among those who did, not all could use it.
Only a specific group of people, using specific IDs, could enter Sky Net and obtain intelligence.
Ye Tian typed his ID in the blank space on Sky Net and quickly entered the Sky Net page!
“King of the Night?
What can I do for you?”
Upon entering Sky Net, the intelligence officer of Sky Net immediately spoke to Ye Tian, without any small talk or courtesies, just like before.
Ye Tian didn’t say anything else and directly typed a few words on the keyboard!
“The one who fought with me is called Tian Shisan, any clues about the people behind him and their clan!”
Before, whenever Ye Tian entered his search target on Sky Net, the other party would respond immediately and provide the required time.
However, this time there was no response, and Ye Tian waited for quite a long time…
After about half an hour, the other party finally replied in the chat interface!
“Sorry, Sky Net cannot find anything in its investigations.”
The short message showcased the ineffectiveness of Sky Net, the world’s most potent intelligence organization.
But Ye Tian didn’t give up and directly requested—
“I will pay ten times the intelligence fee, and I don’t request the clues right away, just inform me when you have them.”
This was a move of desperation for Ye Tian, as the fees for Sky Net were quite high.
He was willing to pay an astronomical amount.
What was more important was that Ye Tian hadn’t made any specific demands of Sky Net; they could take the money and not do anything…
“I will consider it!”
Even though Ye Tian was willing to increase the price, the other party still didn’t agree right away but hesitated indecisively.
Ye Tian waited for more than ten minutes, and then the other party finally responded!
“We can try, but please don’t have too high of hopes.”
The world’s number one intelligence network actually replied to Ye Tian with such words; Ye Tian could only bitterly smile and shake his head before logging off.
Whether it was Wang Bingbing’s Ice Snow Bar or Sky Net, they were the strongest intelligence systems that Ye Tian could mobilize.
Yet even so, Ye Tian had a slight feeling of hopelessness about obtaining any clues about Tian Shisan and his clan.
If he couldn’t rely on intelligence agencies, Ye Tian would have to fend for himself!
The only item in Ye Tian’s possession that might hold the information he needed was the black knife left behind by Tian Shisan during their battle!
Could there be any clues he needed on this black knife?
Ye Tian anxiously took out the black knife; it was pitch-black, incredibly sharp, and larger than the average knife.
As for the material of the black knife, Ye Tian was knowledgeable about arms, and the knife was made of Thousand-Year-Old Profound Iron.
Although Thousand-Year-Old Profound Iron was very rare in this world, it could still be acquired through certain channels.
Ye Tian had encountered masters who used weapons forged from Thousand-Year-Old Profound Iron in the jianghu, and he had also personally examined Thousand-Year-Old Profound Iron.
Therefore, the material of the black knife could not be used as a clue to search for the clan behind Tian Shisan…
Ye Tian held the black knife in his hands and scrutinized it carefully.
Although it didn’t differ much from other weapons made of Thousand-Year-Old Profound Iron, Ye Tian sensed an ominous aura inside the black knife.
This aura, Ye Tian had felt it during his encounters with both James and Tian Shisan.
What kind of aura was it?
The aura came from inside the black blade, and Ye Tian considered splitting the black blade in two, but after thinking it over, he gave up the idea.
After all, a divine weapon like this was hard to come by, and it would be a pity if he ruined it…
“Hummmm~~~~~~~”
As Ye Tian moved the black blade closer, it suddenly began to buzz oddly.
And it wasn’t just the black blade that was buzzing; an item on his person also began to tremble.
Ye Tian was shocked to realize that it was not some other item vibrating, but the wooden sword he carried.
The blade, forged from the core of a millennium ancient tree, had not made such a sound when facing the black blade before.
What was this now?
Could it be a resonance phenomenon?
The term suddenly popped into Ye Tian’s mind.
Items with similar attributes, or those that countered each other, could exhibit such a phenomenon.
With a try-it-out attitude, Ye Tian placed the wooden sword and black blade side by side on the ground, and as the two blades came close enough, Ye Tian noticed a strange phenomenon!
The wooden sword suddenly emitted streak after streak of slender lightning, which wound around the black blade’s body, while the black blade itself exuded bursts of black mist enveloping the wooden sword.
This situation was astonishing!
Ye Tian knew that the lightning was the energy from the wooden sword he held, and the black mist emerging from the black blade was also the blade’s energy.
Could these two energies actually seep into each other?
Initially, Ye Tian believed that the energy in the wooden sword was the force of life, representing positive energy, while the energy in the black blade was the force of death, representing negative energy.
These two energies were supposed to give rise to each other yet were not meant to blend.
However, what was happening right in front of him was changing Ye Tian’s perspective.
Whether positive or negative energy, their nature was still energy.
Since they were energy, they could potentially fuse together!
Ye Tian looked closely at the wooden sword and the black blade, observing the random, unordered way the two divine weapons’ energies were merging.
The wooden sword absorbed as much energy from the black blade as the black blade did from the wooden sword; overall, it was equivalent.
However, this was not the answer Ye Tian was looking for.
After all, the wooden sword was meticulously crafted by him, and he had already achieved communion with the core of the millennium ancient tree.
Therefore, Ye Tian was not willing to allow the black blade to absorb the wooden sword’s energy — he was determined to have the wooden sword absorb all of the black blade’s energy!
So, Ye Tian attempted to channel his Inner Strength into the black blade, hoping to disrupt the delicate balance between the two swords, and the effect was positive.
Under the stimulation of Ye Tian’s Inner Strength, the lightning from the wooden sword no longer encircled the black blade’s handle.
Instead, the black mist from the black blade continuously flowed into the wooden sword.
After some time, Ye Tian no longer needed to inject Inner Strength into the black blade; its energy would automatically flow into the wooden sword…
Although the process was slow, it was to Ye Tian’s delight!
The black blade’s energy was dark, but after merging into the wooden sword, it transformed into lightning, indicating that the negative energy from the black blade was quickly being converted into positive energy within the wooden sword!
The wooden sword, now absorbing the black blade’s energy, also began to tremble slightly, and Ye Tian could clearly sense the vigorous life force it contained!
In the past, Ye Tian could only communicate with the wooden sword in the Tree Heart World, but if the blade kept absorbing energy and growing like this, perhaps he would also be able to communicate with it in the real world?
Over the next few days, Ye Tian diligently transferred all the energy from the black blade into the wooden sword, little by little.
The process was slow, but it went smoothly without any mistakes, and Ye Tian didn’t know how much energy was contained within the black blade or how much the wooden sword could absorb.
Was there a limit?
Of course, while Ye Tian continuously guided the black blade’s energy into the wooden sword, he also kept an eye on Wang Bingbing’s movements.
In these past few days, Wang Bingbing must have used all of Ice Snow Bar’s resources to search for information, right?
“Bingbing, how are things on your end?”
Ye Tian asked with concern, but Wang Bingbing could only give a bitter laugh and said, “Nothing.”
It was apparent that Wang Bingbing had tried her best, but she still couldn’t find any clues.
It wasn’t Wang Bingbing’s fault; the people from Tian Shisan had hidden themselves too well…
“Keep searching!”
Saying so, Ye Tian hung up the phone call with Wang Bingbing, then logged onto Tian Net to see how things were there.
“Any clues?”
Ye Tian typed these five short words, but the reply from the other side was even more succinct!
“No.”
After that, Tian Net stopped replying.
Ye Tian felt somewhat disappointed, but that was all he could do…
Apart from having Wang Bingbing and Tian Net continue their search, Ye Tian had no other options.
Of course, to prevent the arrival of more formidable experts targeting him, Ye Tian had to come up with some measures.
He couldn’t just sit and wait for doom, could he?
