The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 288 - Don't Want to Waste a Lot of Time
Since Qing Shan and the others agreed to join Tang forces, they would not object to the security precautions taken by them.
When it was Qing Shan's turn to be tested, everyone including Ji Xie raised their necks and focused on the stone, looking forward to the results. A trace of nervousness filled Ji Xie while waiting for an answer to appear on the spirit stone.
He intended to find out more about Qing Shan since his previous attempts had all failed. He had no choice but to rely on this Stone to discover more about Qing Shan.
Anxiety also appeared on Jin Zhu and Wu shi's faces. And Wu Shi was very worried about Qing Shan. His main concern was not about revealing Qing Shan's true cultivation level. His main concern was Double Qing Shan's cultivation method.
If Qing Shan was known to have perverted techniques and demon techniques, it would be more difficult for him to join. Moreover, he did not know if Ji Xie would be hostile towards Qing Shan after learning of his shameless cultivation, since the Hubei Sect was the Dao Sect of Truth.
However, Wu shi and Jin Zhu's worries seemed unnecessary. Even if Qing Shan's cultivation method was revealed, Ji Xie would only turn a blind eye. He would not refuse Qing Shan's help. It was impossible for him to play the role of eliminating demons in order to protect the true path in his current state.
Qing Shan's palm pressed against the stone and he slowly closed his eyes. Although revealing his cultivation method was not a problem at all, it would still bring trouble to him.
Inside the Yin Yang veins within his body, his Ice Strength was activated. A cold light began to radiate from the rock nonstop.
He then quietly merged the strength of his senses into his ice power, and at that moment, a trace of black color formed on the ice light. Now, the light shone even brighter, signifying the strength of a Soul Realm Expert level.
"How could he do it" Wu shi's lips widened slightly, with confusion all over his mind. On the other hand, Ji Xie heaved a sigh of relief.
“Ice Element Cultivation Method. The realm of the Soul stage Sal. Fellow Zhang seems to have broken through not too long ago because your cultivation realm is still unstable. But, I don't expect that you are also an ice element cultivator. I'm sorry for ignoring that!” Said Ji Xie samhil cupping his fists to greet Qing Shan once more.
As for the black light that appeared in that ice light, Ji Xie thought of it as the cause of Qing Shan's Sword Soul power.
As soon as those worries lifted from Ji Xie's heart, he smiled and watched the groups of Gold Realm cultivators to swear by the Heart Demon Oath. Then, he distributed the Location Tracking Pill to each of them. After seeing Qing Shan swallow the pill without hesitation, Ji Xie became a little more relaxed.
'Since he had already met the heart demon and consumed the pill, I can now figure out the next step. If he really tried to rob our Tang Country, he would experience a backlash from the Heart Devil. Finally, I can stop worrying about her.!' Ji Xie said in his heart.
The last thing to do is hand out token points to all of them. Point tokens are tokens made of jade used to record battle points.
After iru, everyone headed to their respective divisions.
Right now, the demon invasion had plunged the Tang people into misery and suffering. The demon had a headquarters in a place called Dragon Lake. They expanded their control area to millions of meters from their headquarters. In the northwest of Tang Country, a third of the country's territory had been occupied by demonic forces.
The attack of the demon army would be created when they built fortresses in many places and turned birds and animals into demons using their secret arts. As a result, their army of a hundred thousand would be born in a short period of time, causing countless calamities in the country.
The battle points awarded to the Defense Division depended on the city they were assigned to guard. The cultivators were categorized based on their cultivation realms while the cities were classified into high rank, middle rank and low rank, depending on the level of threat they faced.
The higher the rank, the higher the threat level. High-ranking cities were constantly being attacked by a large number of demons. In other words, the troops and experts sent there were always in grave danger.
An early stage Gold Realm cultivator would earn a hundred battle points in a month to keep a low ranked city. The battle points received would increase their higher cultivation realm. Moreover, if the threat level of the city increased, the battle points earned would double.
For example, Wu Shi who was at the peak of the Golden Realm could earn up to eight hundred battle points in a month to guard a low-ranking city. If he were sent to guard a high-ranking city, the number of battle points he obtained would quadruple, amounting to three thousand two hundred battle points in just one month. For Qing Shan who was at the early stage Soul Realm realm, he would be rewarded six thousand four hundred battle points a month if he guarded a high ranked city. It would take him a year and a half to collect a hundred thousand battle points.
Battle points can also be turned into spirit stones. But spirit stones could not be used to exchange battle points.
For Qing Shan, danger was not his main concern. It would take at least a year and a half to accumulate enough battle points if he was sent to guard the most dangerous city on the border.
Right now, he was determined to form his Golden Core strength and his goal was to break through as soon as possible.
'One and a half years, huh? Nah! I don't want to waste any more time in this country. The only way to quickly earn points was to join the War Division.' Qing Shan said inwardly deciding.
The mission of the War Division is to exterminate the demons. Battle points were rewarded based on the number of demons exterminated. The Devil Realm Gebang Vein was equivalent to one battle point. The Harmonious Realm Demon was equivalent to a hundred battle points. The battle points awarded to the Golden Realm demons were twenty thousand battle points, while killing a Soul Realm Demon would result in a hundred thousand points.
'I only need to eliminate one Soul Realm demon to earn enough points! For the worst-case scenario, I can still eliminate a hundred Harmonious Realm demons with the power of my Sword Soul. That would be ten thousand battle points. It wouldn't be too long to accumulate a hundred thousand points. Perhaps, I can even help Jin Zhu and Wu Shi.!'
Originally, Jin Zhu and Wu Shi had intended to join the War Division but they changed their minds after listening to Qing Shan's suggestion.
Qing Shan was ready to engage in war. However, he did not want the two of them to risk their lives.
Moreover, Qing Shan had a premonition that the demon army was actually trying to buy time. They seemed to be waiting for something and making a plan.
After everyone had all been assigned to their respective divisions, they returned to the inn for preparation as they would head to their assigned location in no time.
Qing Shan had the intention to have Jin Zhu and Wu Shi guard the mid-level city.
Jin Zhu was glad he didn't have to risk his life. On the other hand, Wu Shi had a different perspective than her instead choosing to keep a mid-level City.
