“Jiang Yi, from now on, you two will live here. I am just next to you guys!”
He Wei had brought Jiang Yi and the Black Deity into a wooden pavilion within the Divine Eagle Tribe’s east city. The pavilion was not that big and not that small; there were three rooms. It was ten minutes away from the Demon-Killing Pavilion; its location was not bad.
On the way, He Wei had informed Jiang Yi that the east city was the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s territory, the north city the Battle God Pavilion’s, and the west city the Earth Emanations Pavilion’s. The south city was a mixture of everything; it was where the tribesmen of this tribe lived. Many shops and drinking establishments were there.
If one did not join any of the three factions, there was really no way to survive in the tribe. One could only head outside and roam about. If he met Chaos Beasts, the consequences would be dire. Even if one did not encounter any Chaos Beasts—beyond the tribe and outside the cities, killing was permissible. If one pissed off a formidable martial artist, he would be killed quite easily.
Jiang Yi had a thousand battle merits and was now an official disciple. Hence, he possessed his own pavilion. What made him curious was even though He Wei was still an in-name disciple, he also had his own pavilion. It seemed as if He Wei’s father was really someone important in the Blue Eagle Prefecture. The Demon-Killing Pavilion commander in the Divine Eagle Tribe had given He Wei’s father plenty of face.
Jiang Yi had also started to understand how to use his battle merits. The battle merits could be used at the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s Mystical Ability Hall to purchase mystical abilities or secret arts, be exchanged for divine artifacts and treasures, and to enter the thousand-fold and ten-thousand-fold secret cultivation rooms. Furthermore, they could be used to enter special mystic realms to realize nomological mystical abilities, etc. The uses for battle merits were so many though it was very easy to exhaust them as well. Take heading into a thousand-fold secret cultivation room to cultivate for a day for example. That already required a thousand battle merits. Jiang Yi’s battle merits would only be sufficient for a day’s worth of training.
“Black Deity, you stay here to cultivate! I will help you find a way to break through to become a Demon God soon.”
Jiang Yi asked Black Deity to stay in the room and cultivate. The Black Deity’s battle strength was extremely weak; he hadn’t even congealed a Demon God body. If he went out with Jiang Yi, the Black Deity would only be a burden. Since Jiang Yi had brought him into the Higher Domain, Jiang Yi naturally wanted to help him.
The Black Deity quietly entered the room. He was also very clear that he was of no use to Jiang Yi now. If he went along with Jiang Yi on missions, he would only be a burden. He might as well stay at home to cultivate.
“Brother, come and try the unique special wine of this domain!”
He Wei did not stand on formalities at all. He had sat in the guest hall and had taken some wine from his interspatial ring and poured some for Jiang Yi. He then smiled and suggested, “Shall we head to the south city and check it out? We can go and find some women of the Higher Domain. I have heard that when sleeping with someone from the local divine races, both persons would be able to gain some strength…”
“Not going!”
Jiang Yi shook his head; how could he have the mood for this? Furthermore, he had also promised Yi Chan and the others to not fool around here while Jiang Xiaonu had not been found yet. Jiang Yi was extremely anxious. Putting aside ladies from a brothel—even if it was that Lady Luo, Jiang Yi would also not be interested at this moment.
“You’re a bore. In that case, I’ll go myself.”
He Wei left just like that. Jiang Yi waited for He Wei to leave and then activated a mechanism near the gate of the pavilion. The entire pavilion lit up as a white shield enveloped it and separated it from the outside world.
Jiang Yi entered his room and activated the room’s shields as well. He then took out one of the Chaos Beast Cores as he used his heavenly powers to envelop it, slowly trying to refine this Chaos Beast Core.
After six full hours, that dark-red Chaos Beast Core shone; and an unknown romantic charm flowed by. It was just like the romantic charm that originated from the Thunder Mountains on Sky Thunder Island years ago. Jiang Yi was shaken. It appears as if he could use this romantic charm to slowly realize this fire-elemental law.
Once the Chaos Beast Core was refined, it would be worthless and could not be used to exchange for battle merits. However, Jiang Yi did not have any regrets. If he became a Demon-Killing Battle General now, he would only die faster. Without sufficient power and strength, he would not be able to survive.
Jiang Yi did not immediately try to realize that romantic charm. He continued to use his heavenly powers to surround the Chaos Beast Core. He wanted to investigate if he really could activate the Chaos Beast Core and produce the red flames. If he couldn’t, he would have lost heavily.
He Wei did not lie to him.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yi could feel that a ball of red flames was coming out from the Chaos Beast Core. When he controlled it and made it appear from the Chaos Beast Core, his Fire Spirit Pearl immediately lit up and absorbed the burning flames in an instant. The restrictions in the room also lit up. If the Fire Spirit Pearl had not absorbed the flames, the restrictions in the room would probably have been destroyed by the high temperature.
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi’s mood turned for the better. Having these two Chaos Beast Core meant that he possessed an unlimited supply of burning flames. When he next congealed a burning flames divine shield—not only his attacking strength, but his defensive abilities would increase significantly as well.
Jiang Yi hurriedly retrieved the other Chaos Beast Core and repeated the refinement process. Six hours later, the second Chaos Beast Core was also refined. Another romantic charm surfaced in Jiang Yi’s mind as he continued to use his heavenly powers to trigger the Chaos Beast Core. Ten minutes later, deep blue flames appeared inside this Chaos Beast Core.
“Cultivate!”
Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man as he activated the Chaos Beast Core to congeal burning flames while he cultivated his heavenly powers at the same time. He also tried to realize the romantic charm surfacing in his mind; he wanted to try his best to realize this fire-elemental law.
He was now an official disciple of the Demon-Killing Pavilion. He could actually go and receive missions to earn battle merits. However, he did not have the time to bother with these things now. Jiang Yi’s priority now was to find Jiang Xiaonu; he was not going to bother about anything else.
Based on him alone, he would not be able to find Jiang Xiaonu. Hence, he could only wait until He Wei’s father arrived. Until then, Jiang Yi decided to stay within the tribe to cultivate and wait; he did not intend to go anywhere.
…
Half a day passed on the Higher Domain, equivalent to fifty days on the Lower Domain. He Wei’s father finally arrived.
He Wei was a man of his word. When his father arrived, he immediately asked him to use his status as a commander to activate the Demon-Killing Pavilion Blue Eagle Prefecture’s information network to find Jiang Xiaonu. Unfortunately, after doing some checks, it seemed as if there was no female member of the Demon-Killing Pavilion called Jiang Xiaonu. This meant that Jiang Xiaonu had not joined the Demon-Killing Pavilion.
Commander He used his authority and ordered a mission that anyone from the Demon-Killing Pavilion in the Blue Eagle Prefecture could take on: anyone who knew about Jiang Xiaonu or found her was to send a message back immediately.
“Many thanks, Young Master Wei! I owe you one!”
He Wei came over and explained the situation to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi held onto He Wei’s hand, extremely grateful. Commanders had the authority to order a mission; however, they could only do so a few times a year. If it wasn’t for He Wei, his father would never have helped Jiang Yi.
He Wei smiled as he patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder and said, “Hehe, lad. You have to remember. One day when you make it big, you cannot say you don’t know me, okay? Relax, the order had been sent out. Everyone loves missions like this. If anyone sees anything, the person would immediately receive the order and send information here.”
“Oh, and what’s that? Young Master Wei, will you be following your father to Divine Fox City?”
Jiang Yi puckered his face and asked. Commander He was assigned to Divine Fox City; he had naturally come to bring He Wei over to nurture him under his care. Jiang Yi had no friends on the Earth Emanations Domain; He Wei was the only one.
“Not at the moment!”
He Wei gestured and said, “If I do not become a Demon-Killing Battle General, I will not be qualified to be transferred. Father had come this time only to say hi to the commander here, for him to take care of me. He doesn’t yet have the authority to transfer me over.”
While He Wei was speaking, a messaging jade talisman on his waist lit up. He glanced at it for a second, smiled and said, “Hahaha, lo and behold. Father has sent a message; we have found your little sister.”
