Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 379 - 202: Tier-Transcending Combat Power (2)

But this doesn’t mean that Rasputin had any opportunity to exploit; Chu Xiu could seize his control at any time and obliterate his soul.

Thinking it over, Chu Xiu granted him partial basic control permissions, and indeed, a string of flattering words immediately spewed from his mouth.

This guy adapted to his role quickly; no matter how much resentment he held against Chu Xiu, at least he showed none of it on the surface.

Chu Xiu had no interest in listening to such tedious words, so with a wave of his hand, he tossed him into the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch for gradual recovery.

Next, he examined the forbidden item, the Evil Eye Buddhist Scripture.

The Evil Eye Buddhist Scripture: A cursed item, by integrating part of one’s soul, the Buddhist divine techniques recorded in the scripture can be used; the stronger the divine technique, the more soul integration is required.

Note 1: It houses a portion of the consciousness from Forbidden Object 917, and there is a very small chance of encounter when using the Buddhist divine techniques.

Note 2: The scripture consists of eighteen volumes, each recording different Buddhist divine techniques; collecting them all can synthesize the Evil Buddha Treasure Manual.

Note 3: There are four other Buddhist objects; collecting all can liberate Forbidden Object 917 through a special ritual.

Chu Xiu glanced at the item and without hesitation, tossed it into the farthest corner of the storage space.

Chu Xiu guessed that the calamity’s demonstration of Buddhist methods likely came through this scripture.

Though he was quite envious of the Buddhist divine techniques and knew this item’s grade was probably extremely high, it was clear that such a strange artifact would never be used unless he was cornered.

As for collecting the other Buddhist objects to release a forbidden item, that was something he wouldn’t even consider, as he had no idea what it even was.

Currently, humans knew very little about forbidden items, only that most were extremely dangerous and related to some kind of primordial power.

Yet, even if one didn’t understand what specific role the Forbidden items play, just by hearing the name, it was clear they were things that could easily invite trouble.

The gains from this trip, including the Blood Demon Incarnation, had already exceeded expectations, so there was no need to greed this much further.

The best approach would be to look for an opportunity to sell it at a high price, letting interested parties research it.

After organizing the spoils, Chu Xiu started wandering at the bottom of the pit, absorbing the crushed blood and flesh.

This place housed over a hundred million corrupt creatures, and though most were only Mortal Tier and partially absorbed by the calamity, the remaining quantity was still ample, making it ideal material for restoring the Ghostly Legion.

Five hours later, returning satisfied, Chu Xiu gathered all the flesh turned into blood water and returned to Blue Star.

"With so many bodies, once refined, the Ghostly Legion should be restored to its previous state and potentially even enhanced."

"With automatic repair, it would take about seven or eight months, but actively using Perfect Refining could drastically shorten that time to at least a week."

Chu Xiu quickly formulated his next steps; once back, he would promptly convert the resources he had acquired into Cause and Effect Points, fully cultivate several Demon Inheritances to perfection, and once the Ghostly Legion was restored, he would waste no time in commencing the Ancient Trials.

His talent was steadily emerging, urgently requiring more strength to ensure his security.

With his mind made up, Chu Xiu prepared to contact Qin Xiang and sell off some equipment.

But just as he returned, he sensed an information prompt from Abyss City.

When he entered, he found that Qin Xiang had blasted the private chat interface with hundreds of messages!

Amused, Chu Xiu realized he had indeed been missing for too long while collecting blood and flesh.

He sent Qin Xiang a contact notification, and in less than a minute, Qin Xiang’s information entity appeared before him.

At this time, Qin Xiang’s face did not look good, with a pervasive air of dissatisfaction in the data flow around him.

"Where have you been? Why has it taken so long?" he asked angrily.

"I guessed that the Blood Demon might be in a weakened state, so I just tried probing a little," Chu Xiu replied truthfully.

"You..." Qin Xiang was both exasperated and amused, but mostly helpless.

In the end, he sighed softly and instead of reprimanding Chu Xiu further, he asked, "So how did it go, were you injured?"

"No, I just had a brief encounter with it," Chu Xiu said.

He was not lying; he indeed was unharmed and did indeed have only a brief encounter with the calamity, though he took it down instantly.

But, of course, Qin Xiang was unlikely to imagine such a scenario, and upon hearing this, he could only shake his head helplessly and sigh, "I just don’t understand you. You’re so young and talented, why take such risks? Young people should still be more prudent."

Chu Xiu nodded and agreed with a smile.

Qin Xiang spoke no more on the subject and instead turned to business: "I have already reported your performance and talent in full."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu’s eyes brightened slightly, though he also felt a bit nervous.

As a Civilization Envoy, compared to ordinary Awakened, Chu Xiu already had the authority to exchange for Cause and Effect Points at three times the rate, but cultivating three Demon Inheritances at once consumed an enormous amount of resources, and even this was far from sufficient.

He wanted to gain higher authority to exchange for more Cause and Effect Points, which required upgrading his authority level.

Under Chu Xiu’s expectant gaze, Qin Xiang said slowly, "You need not worry. With your astonishing talent, the elevation of your authority is almost a certainty."

"However, your rate of improvement has been so rapid, and as the first SSS-level summoning profession, you have drawn the interest of many top-tier powers."
