Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 477 - 221: Qi Refiners of the Dark World, True Monarch Legacy, Merit List Renown, Void Beast_4
Truly magical.
Carefully examined the source of the merits.
A Fourth Grade Cultivation slaying a Fifth Grade Demon, earning six hundred merits.
A Fourth Grade Cultivation slaying a Fourth Grade Demon, earning sixty-seven thousand four hundred merits.
A Fourth Grade Cultivation slaying a Third Grade Demon, earning seventy thousand merits.
Interesting.
Based on one’s own realm, slaying those of the same realm earns ample merits, slaying lower realm demons earns significantly less, while slaying higher realm demons earns more than ten times the merits.
After slaying a demon, it seems that some traces remain on the Divine Soul, which gradually fade over time, just as recorded on the Merit List, with no record of the demons I slew when I was at the Fifth Grade.
After understanding some functions of this Merit List, Xu Guang gained a clear understanding of the seemingly loose, alliance-like force that is the Demon Hunters.
It might be akin to a bounty association, and the presence of the Merit List perfectly records all Demon Hunting Merits, which must be very important among the Demon Hunters.
Whether it be resources or status, the merits on the Merit List will serve as a manifestation.
Understanding everything, Xu Guang then found a place next to the Merit List to begin his cultivation.
He discovered that besides himself, there seemed to be some others cultivating, presumably all famous experts from Li Taizhou. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
He did not disturb them, returning to the real world after finishing his cultivation.
...
In the chaotic Void Realm, a distorted ball of light was staring intently at the distorted halo where Xu Guang was, as if pondering something.
Another ball of light slowly approached.
"Do you know that person?"
"Well, I’m quite familiar with everyone on Qixia Island now, but that person’s fluctuations are very unfamiliar; they should be a newcomer on the island."
"I see, are they strong?"
"Very strong; in the Second Layer of the Sea, they virtually walk as if on flat ground. There are not many of the Third Grade who can do that. I’m planning to invite him to find that Chaos Void Beast we encountered last time; Gongsun Wang admires him greatly and had previously recommended him to me."
The other distorted light ball pondered for a long time, "Alright."
...
Xu Guang returned to the real world, somewhat surprised at the visit from Xu Miaoran.
"Master Xu? What’s the matter?"
Xu Miaoran smiled and said, "Won’t Sect Leader Xu invite me in to sit for a while?"
Xu Guang did not know Xu Miaoran’s purpose, and naturally would not show hostility to someone with a friendly face.
After entering a room in the Taoist Temple, Xu Guang looked at Xu Miaoran and softly said, "Master Xu, feel free to speak your mind."
"Has Sect Leader Xu ever heard of Void Beasts?"
"Some peculiar creatures in the Void Realm?" Xu Guang frowned and asked.
Xu Miaoran nodded. "Void Beasts are very rare and precious. Since Sect Leader Xu has heard of them, you must know their wonders."
"I have heard a bit. There are rumors that the Void Realm is the origin of all things, and the Void Beasts that live there are the progenitors of the bloodlines of all beasts."
Xu Miaoran nodded and continued, "Inside a Void Beast, there is something called a Void Core, the energy of which is unimaginable and may grant one the ability to comprehend the wondrous Secret Techniques that only demonic beasts can master. Even in Hongze, Void Cores are always in high demand yet unavailable. I’d like to invite Sect Leader Xu to the Void Realm to hunt Void Beasts."
Xu Guang frowned, cooperating with someone in the Void Realm?
He had never considered such a thing; the Void Realm was too dangerous. Although the Void Core was enticing, it was his most core Divine Soul entering the Void Realm, which made him reluctant.
Moreover...
How would the benefits of slaying a Void Beast be distributed?
"I only recently advanced to the Third Grade, and the range I can traverse in the Void Realm isn’t far; I may not be able to assist Master Xu."
Xu Miaoran smiled and nodded, "Sect Leader Xu need not be so modest. The Void Beast I found is a Chaos Void Beast, with more than one Void Core inside it. Moreover, the bloodline within a Chaos Void Beast is complex, and there may be some rare species bloodlines."
Xu Guang was moved, but still refused.
If it were in the real world, he would choose to go together, but in the Void Realm, better forget it.
Moreover, even in the real world, he couldn’t possibly trust Xu Miaoran, a stranger he had just met.
Nonetheless, Xu Miaoran’s mention of Void Beasts did indeed spark many thoughts in Xu Guang.
Ah Wei received the legacy of the Elephant King; during this time, he has been locating the Void Realm. Once Ah Wei succeeds, the two of them can attempt to explore the first two layers of the Nine Layers of Sea for Void Beasts together.
