Chapter 964: Full of Harvest

Guglas was the first to strike gold. Perhaps due to his years of gathering intelligence and uncovering secrets, he was intimately familiar with the treasure-hoarding habits and styles of various individuals. He was, in fact, the first person in the entire team, including Xu Yang, to discover valuable treasures within this moving maritime city-state.

"We're rich, boss, we're rich! Come quickly and see this!" Guglas roared, his wild shout bursting forth with his immense excitement.

Xu Yang and the others gathered closer and found a hidden chamber filled with various mechanisms. Inside, hundreds, if not thousands, of small wooden boxes contained cultivation techniques that had circulated on the Yingzhou Continent thousands of years ago.

"My heavens! A reserve of thousands of cultivation techniques—this is incredible, Fatty, you've hit the jackpot this time!"

Furthermore, there appeared to be a complete intelligence system, specifically designed for maritime operations, capable of mobilizing all scattered forces in the surrounding sea areas in the shortest possible time.

As soon as Guglas finished speaking, he, being incredibly quick to grasp such equipment, immediately began demonstrating it to Xu Yang and the others.

"If my judgment is correct, this must be the legendary Eye of the Sky, the most powerful and mysterious communication method on the Yingzhou Continent! I can't believe it was hidden within this Black Pearl! Simply put, the Eye of the Sky is a communication method based on the cultivation technique system. It allows two individuals with connected spiritual power to communicate across vast distances. As long as one's spiritual power is strong enough, the Eye of the Sky's coverage area is virtually limitless."

Hearing Guglas's explanation, Xu Yang and the others were beside themselves with excitement.

It's important to note that within the current civilization system of the Yingzhou Continent, communication largely relied on more primitive methods such as messenger soldiers, carrier pigeons, and scouts. The Eye of the Sky, originating from the desolate outer continent, could achieve absolute spiritual communication, disregarding distance. If they could train a highly skilled elite scout corps capable of mastering the Eye of the Sky, it would undoubtedly provide immense help for Xu Yang's future development of the Glorious Squad and its subordinate forces!

Xu Yang clearly understood that communication and information exchange were crucial in any era. In other words, in any conflict, the side that could grasp information and data first would have a significant advantage in controlling the tempo of the entire battlefield. Undeniably, the discovery of this Eye of the Sky communication system, in Xu Yang's opinion, was far more valuable than the Black Pearl itself, as its influence could extend across the entire Yingzhou Continent.

"Excellent, Guglas, listen to my command!"

Seeing his boss, Xu Yang, suddenly turn serious, Guglas immediately dropped his playful demeanor. He knelt on one knee, gazing at Xu Yang with utmost solemnity. "Please command, Boss."

"From today forward, this Eye of the Sky communication system will be under your personal charge. This is one of the Glorious Squad's top secrets. As our territory expands and our personnel grow in number, this Eye of the Sky system will enable us to establish a vast power group in the shortest possible time, bringing us considerable convenience. Do not share this with anyone unless they are absolutely trustworthy! As long as we firmly control this communication system, the Glorious Squad will have no rivals across the entire continent."

Guglas, of course, understood the significance of such a responsibility. He could not have imagined that, thanks to this gift from Xu Yang, he would reach a position he never dared to dream of years later, all due to the Eye of the Sky, which brought him lifelong glory.

Of course, this was only one of the most important secrets the Glorious Squad discovered on the Black Pearl. Other treasures, such as mountains of gold and silver, were countless, as this was the Dragon Warband's sole treasury. All the most precious resources acquired by the warband were hidden and sealed aboard the Black Pearl. Those old timers never dreamed that the formidable purple-tier seal would be completely disregarded by Xu Yang's Glorious Squad. Otherwise, they would never have rashly opened the Purple Dragon Battlefield and allowed Xu Yang and his seven companions to do as they pleased within it.

After a full day and night of searching, Xu Yang's team finally inspected the storage areas within all eighty-plus maritime cities. Everything that could be taken was taken, and the most crucial core inheritances were completely divided among Xu Yang's team members. Each person received a highly valuable inherited item, typically a plant, to enhance their overall combat power.

Clown obtained an inscription resembling a curse. After cultivation, his illusory avatars could wield a certain degree of curse power, greatly enhancing Clown's role on the battlefield. He had almost transitioned from an artist who toyed with mortals to a seasoned source of blight capable of unleashing destructive artistry. If provoked, Clown alone could cause an army of a million to collapse completely in a very short time! Such an effect was unimaginable to others; even if offered a top-tier Western Region expert of purple spiritual power level in exchange, Xu Yang would not even consider it. Aside from their brotherhood, Clown's current battlefield value was virtually unrivaled across the entire Western Region Continent.

The greatest gain for the Prancys couple was undoubtedly the endless wealth hidden here. For a seasoned pirate crew, money was undeniably the most effective driving force. Having acquired these mountains of gold and silver, the Prancys couple vowed to unite all pirate crews across the Yingzhou Continent under their command, becoming the largest new force under the Glorious Squad's banner.

Lister was quite lucky. Remarkably, he discovered his invaluable treasure when the two beautiful mermaid maidens beside him accidentally tripped over a pebble-like object, drawing their attention. Inside the pebble's outer shell lay an incredibly brilliant silver skull totem ring! When Lister tried wearing the ring on his middle finger, he sensed an immensely powerful aura of sea undead. The summoned sea undead totem could unleash an unending stream of undead warriors. This inheritance, imbued with an aura of faith, made Lister's role within the team incredibly significant.

Thus, Xu Yang's Glorious Squad, having completely taken possession of all valuable treasures from the Black Pearl, had undergone a thorough transformation. Even if they abandoned their quest to conquer Dragon Island, their current gains were enough to make them unrivaled across the entire Western Region.

Lister commanded the undead, Clown wielded curses, Guglas managed the Eye of the Sky intelligence, and the Prancys couple controlled endless wealth! With such a configuration and combination of roles among the five main members of the Glorious Squad, how could they possibly find any rivals throughout the entire region now?

Of course, regardless of the improvements they gained, Xu Yang and Ling Yao remained the soul of the entire team. They were always the two most powerful members and the absolute, most robust pillars of the Glorious Squad.
