He Wei was very sharp-eyed. He could tell that Jiang Yi seemed young and energetic. Although he could not tell exactly how old Jiang Yi was, he knew that Jiang Yi could not be a day over thirty.
That one could ascend at such a young age, and even possess divine artifacts in the Lower Domain, was very rare indeed. He knew that Jiang Yi must have had some hidden talents in his body. Although he did not intend to dig out these secrets for himself, he wanted to recruit Jiang Yi so that his father and the Demon-Killing Pavilion would be able to bear good fruits.
It was a pity that Jiang Yi was not interested in him in the least. At that moment, he was extremely depressed. How would he be interested in the recruitment efforts of a mere commander’s son?
He Wei waited beside Jiang Yi for a while, but seeing that the latter was not going to respond, he spoke once again. “Little Brother, Earth Emanations Pavilion’s Pavilion Lord is only the City Lord. He does not have a bright future. The Battle G.o.d Pavilion and the Demon-Killing Pavilion have similarly bright futures, but it will be extremely difficult for you to make a name for yourself without anyone to guide you.
“It would be even harder for you to earn divine roots and gain battle merits if you do not make a name for yourself. With my father around, I promise you that you would at least become a mini commander in one Higher-Domain-year. When that time comes, you would easily earn divine roots.”
“Lord He, I would like some peace! Let’s talk about this when we arrive at our destination.”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and closed his eyes while sitting cross-legged. He would not be made to make a decision just because of one person’s biased view. Wherever he was, he wanted to make sure that he gained a full picture before he made a decision. Now, his heart was not at peace. Naturally, he was not in the mood to listen to these things.
“Don’t, Little Brother!”
He Wei saw the look in Jiang Yi’s eyes and fell silent for a second before saying, “How about this? If you join the Demon-Killing Pavilion with me, I will ask my father to find a way to look for your friend. How about that?”
“Are you for real?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes brightened as he stared at He Wei. “Are you sure you will bring me to find my friend? How long will it take? If you are sure, I will join Demon-Killing Pavilion with you.”
“Sure!”
He Wei smiled brightly and patted his own chest. “Your friend ascended together with you so she must be in Blue Eagle Prefecture. Demon-Killing Pavilion has its own intelligence system. Since my father is a commander, he would naturally have access to the information. He can also send people to find your friend. In about three days, I guess that we will have news of your friend’s whereabouts. Then, we can find a way to get to her.”
“Is that three days in the Higher Domain?”
Jiang Yi asked. He Wei rolled his eyes and said, “We need a day and a half more to get to a city in Blue Eagle Prefecture. Of course, I’m talking about Higher Domain time.”
Three days. That’s three hundred days in the Lower Domain—close to a year!
Jiang Yi calculated in his head and then nodded subtly. It was not considered long for him to be able to find out where Jiang Xiaonu was in a year. He narrowed his eyes and looked at He Wei once again. “Why do you want me to join the Demon-Killing Pavilion? Tell me the truth.”
“It’s an inexplicable feeling!”
He Wei looked at Jiang Yi sincerely and answered, “Hehe, Little Brother, you ascended at such a young age. That means that you are very talented. Talent aside, I have always been very accurate with reading people. I think you can make a name for yourself in Earth Emanations Domain. Once you do, you can bring me along with you, can’t you?”
Jiang Yi’s expression turned cold as he said, “Speak in a human language.”
“Alright. Little Brother, you’re too awesome,” He Wei said, touching his nose awkwardly. “Actually, I can gain battle merits by recruiting talents. You can ascend even before you turn thirty years old. According to the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s rules, I can gain fifty battle merits just by bringing you in.”
“Oh.”
Jiang Yi could accept this reason. There was no such thing as love or hate without reason in this world. Everybody worked for their own benefit. He asked curiously, “What is battle merit used for?”
“There are so many uses.”
Jiang Yi would find out about these things sooner or later so there was no reason for He Wei to hide them from him. Very generously, he sent another voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “Demon-Killing Pavilion, Battle G.o.d Pavilion, and Earth Emanations Pavilion all have strategic locations in every city. If you join any one pavilion, you would not immediately gain the right to become their disciple officially. You would only get to register as a disciple. You have to acc.u.mulate a hundred battle merits before you would be taken as their official disciple.
“Once you become an official disciple, you would have the right to stay inside Demon-Killing Pavilion. You will then continue to acc.u.mulate battle merits. When you reach ten thousand merits, you would become a Demon-Killing Battle General. Then, you can live in a castle for free. Once you reach a hundred thousand merits, you can become a Demon-Killing Battle King.
“Once you reach one million points, you can become a Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d. You will have a special t.i.tle and more power in your hand. Most importantly… you will gain cultivation resources. Ten-thousand times, hundred-thousand times, million-times secret cultivation rooms. You would also be able to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm, the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, and even the Chaos Beast Mystic Realm. You’ll also have countless spirit elixirs, secret techniques, and mystical abilities… but you will only get all these things if you have battle merits.”
“Uh!”
The Higher Domain was indeed mysterious. There were so many things that he had not seen nor heard of before. Just listening to these things fascinated him. If the pressure of Stellarsky Domain did not lay on him and if he did not miss his family in Stellarsky Domain so much, he would probably feel excitement and pa.s.sion for all these things.
“Alright. We’ll talk about this when we reach our destination.”
Jiang Yi did not want to give He Wei an answer immediately. He wanted to wait until he arrived at the destination and confirmed the situation before deciding. He Wei did not try to persuade him any further. Instead, he nodded and sat down, cross-legged, next to Jiang Yi.
Calm down, calm down. There’s still some time. I just need to work hard and a miracle will present itself.
Jiang Yi sucked in a deep breath, closed his eyes, and got back to cultivation. He did not have much heavenly powers. Where he was, the heavenly powers essence energy was extremely thick. He knew that he would improve speedily if he cultivated now. What’s more, he could meet danger at any time while he was here. He had to cultivate as much as he could in order to keep himself as safe as he could.
Whether he could protect Stellarsky Domain or not was one thing. What he really needed to do most now was to stabilize himself and find Jiang Xiaonu.
As expected!
The heavenly powers essence energy here was ten thousand times stronger than in Stellarsky Domain. Together with Jiang Yi’s perfect body-type, the improvement that he experienced was otherworldly. The heavenly powers in his divine core moved at least a hundred times faster upon cultivating.
Something isn’t right…
After cultivating for a while, he discovered that something was amiss. The intensity of the essence energy here was about ten thousand times of that in Stellarsky Domain. Together with his perfect body, that was a hundred thousand times. This was the same amplification he experienced in the Mystic Divine Palace while he was in Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea as well. Why was heavenly powers increasing a hundred times faster than before?
“Lord He, is there a difference between the heaven and earth essence energy here and in the Lower Domain?”
Unable to control the curiosity inside him, Jiang Yi turned to He Wei, who was still seated cross-legged beside him. The latter rolled his eyes and said, “Of course, there’s a difference! The essence energy here is called spirit energy. That is not the same as the Lower Domain’s essence force. Alright, stop talking… cultivate first. I don’t have much heavenly powers as well. I want to cultivate as much as I can.”
Jiang Yi stopped talking as well and quickly returned to cultivating his Nameless Divine Art. The Black Deity, too, sat down and used his demonic cultivation techniques to cultivate himself. After a while, the Black Deity looked overjoyed. It was obvious that the spirit energy here was helping him immensely.
Time pa.s.sed very quickly. Soon, the Divine Boat quieted down. Everyone inside made full use of every last second to cultivate. The waves outside were getting bigger. The two blood moons s.h.i.+fted toward the west. It looked like there would still be a long time before they landed.
Roar! Roar!
After some time, Jiang Yi got jolted awake by roaring in the sky. Everyone in the Divine Boat was engulfed by an ice-cold aura. Jiang Yi and the Black Deity trembled. It felt like the aura that the Netherworld Generals released back then. Jiang Yi looked up, and his expression changed immediately.
Far away, in the raging seas, he saw a huge sea monster emerging from the waves. The huge beast measured about three thousand meters in length. His two huge eyes resembled the two blood moons in the sky. Jiang Yi and company stared at its eyes and felt chills run down their spines and through their soul spirits. The aura of the beast alone threatened to break them down.
“Take care of your hearts. Don’t look at this Chaos Beast in the eyes, or you will become a walking dead!”
Jiang Yi and the others heard a cold voice echo in their ears. The tens of Earth Emanations soldiers appeared in the rear cabin. Lord An Ying shouted angrily, “Activate the Divine Boat’s evasion formation. An Wu and you two, lead the Chaos Beast away. This is a primitive-grade Chaos Beast. We alone will not be able to kill it.”
