Chapter 351: Chapter 298 Enlightenment Ten Thousand Times_1
Monk Wumo received the storage bag, and his eyebrows raised with delight. Such treasures could not be bought even with Divine Stones.
“Amitabha, helping others is the source of joy. This poor monk will not fail the donor’s trust, but as my Buddhist Law is not exquisite, I can only liberate a dozen or so each day,” said Monk Wumo with a smile.
Li Cheng nodded. “Divine Monk, why not find a place or a Divine Artifact to nurture them? In this way, the cycle will be unending, and liberation will have no end.”
“What great kindness, Donor! Amitabha!”
“Divine Monk, your merit is boundless. Congratulations, congratulations!”
…
After some time, the lake finally calmed, its water level a full hundred meters lower than before.
After having their fill of food and drink, the two strolled through the valley for a while. Li Cheng expressed his confusion, “With a prime Divine Vein below, how could this place not have produced Divine Medicine or any natural treasures?”
“Amitabha, with ordinary Divine Veins, naturally, Divine Medicine and the like would be born. But there is a flip side to everything. Prime Divine Veins contain such immense Divine Power that ordinary Divine Medicine can hardly emerge,” Monk Wumo explained.
Li Cheng nodded, still feeling it was likely that someone had taken them away, even though no traces were left.
But it didn’t matter. Divine Medicine could be bought, but prime Divine Veins could not.
“What are your plans now, Divine Monk?” Returning to the lake, Li Cheng asked.
The monk took out the Demon Suppression Order and extracted an aura from it to give to Li Cheng, saying with a chuckle, “This poor monk has taken it upon himself to reform demons, so naturally, I will continue to search for my targets.”
Li Cheng accepted the aura of Monk Wumo’s Demon Suppression Order into his own and nodded slightly, “Then we part here. If you need any formations broken, feel free to contact me at any time.”
“Well said! Well said!”
Li Cheng smiled, casually conjured a light screen showing the way out.
“Take care, Divine Monk!”
After a salute with clasped fists, Li Cheng left.
It wasn’t until Li Cheng’s figure had disappeared that Monk Wumo finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Maintaining the demeanor of a Divine Monk is too hard; it’s exhausting me. My goodness, this lad has no sense of equality among all beings. He didn’t even take the little fish!”
“Big fish and small fish are all meat; small fish also have a day when they will grow big. This poor monk prays for your early arrival in the Pure Land… Amitabha, what a sin…”
Li Cheng was unaware that Monk Wumo did not even spare the fish as small as five centimeters, justifying that fried small fish could ascend to the Pure Land.
By the time the monk left, only fry remained in the lake.
At this moment, Li Cheng had already returned to Savage City, and through the Transmission Array, he was back in the Imperial City.
In the Affairs Hall of the Demon-suppressing Department, Li Cheng took off his Demon Suppression Order and, looking at the elder behind the counter, smiled, “Elder, how come I meet you every time?”
Strokeing his beard, the elder replied, “This old one has been on duty here for a thousand years, with two hundred left before another takes over.”
Li Cheng’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. Spending a millennium in this hall was something he definitely could not endure.
In the end, it’s because he wasn’t accustomed to spending a large amount of time on a single task.
“In such a short time, you have slain over eight thousand from the Demon Race, including sixteen of the True God Realm!” the elder said in surprise as he checked the Demon Suppression Order.
Li Cheng smiled. “Just good luck, that’s all.”
The elder eyed the light screen emitted by the Demon Suppression Order for a moment and said, “The mission is completed, and you’ve earned a total of sixty-four thousand two hundred points. Keep it up, reach half a million points and you can be promoted to a three-star Demon-suppressing Envoy.”
On the Demon Suppression Order, a second star appeared, and Li Cheng officially became a two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy.
“My lord, the difference in authority between a two-star and a one-star Demon-suppressing Envoy is not great, but once you reach three stars, you can enter the Tower of Rare Treasures,” he continued.
The Tower of Rare Treasures of the Divine Dynasty had five levels, where rarer and more precious treasures were stored the higher one went.
After reaching the rank of a three-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, one had the opportunity to enter with each promotion, choosing only one item each time. This meant that even as a seven-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, one could normally enter only five times in total.
Besides promotion, significant contributions to the Demon-suppressing Department or spending a large amount of points could also grant one entrance.
The elder went on to say, “You have accumulated four hundred and fifty thousand points, only fifty thousand short of taking on a three-star promotion task. As a two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, you can exchange for twenty-five thousand points, needing only twenty-five thousand more…”
Clearly, the points used previously were accounted for in the promotion requirements. Even if the token displayed zero points, having once possessed half a million was enough to meet the criteria for promotion.
Li Cheng nodded slightly. The two-star promotion task he drew required him to kill True God-level demons, and the three-star promotion task could very well include slaying Divine Monarch-level demons, or tasks of equivalent difficulty.
With his current cultivation, he feared he wouldn’t be able to complete it even if he had the points.
Therefore, it was better for him to focus on cultivating.
“Understood. Please help me exchange for the Xuanwu Essence Blood,” he said to the elder.
This rush to promote was precisely for the Xuanwu Essence Blood, wasn’t it?
With the Xuanwu Essence Blood in hand, Li Cheng headed straight to his residence. For the foreseeable future, it was best to seclude himself for cultivation!
Back at his abode, Li Cheng activated the Formation and took out the Blunt Empty Residence to place inside his house before entering it.
Upon entering the Blunt Empty Residence, he was greeted by a rich wave of Divine Qi, making every pore in his body feel stretched open.
Turning around, he saw two people and a dragon grilling fish by a lake in the small courtyard, and at the edge of the Blunt Empty Residence, the dragon-shaped prime Divine Vein was actually nibbling on the Chaos at the border. With each bite, the space of the Blunt Empty Residence expanded bit by bit.
Li Cheng was puzzled. This prime Divine Vein had not developed Spiritual Wisdom, so how could it be opening up space on its own?
