Chapter 296: New Mission and Frost Wyrm
However, before Liu Hao could do the exchange, Tang Yin gave him another storage ring. It was Duan Long’s storage ring that he had gained from his corpse.
Liu Hao smiled, "It’s a good thing to take everything from the target’s corpse, there are no consequences to that unless the target possesses some heavenly treasure."
Tang Yin nodded with gratitude. He liked this Liu Hao. However, he would not consider becoming friends with him, only good acquaintances. After all, the human heart was unpredictable.
Suddenly Tang Yin remembered the Rank 7 Demonic Beast he had killed on the way to the Great Breeze Region, he also handed it over to Liu Hao.
Liu Hao smiled, but this time it was awkward. "Brother Asura, do you have any more items to exchange? You might as well bring them out all at once."
Tang Yin shook his head, "These should be all of them."
Liu Hao examined the Rank 7 Demonic Beast’s value and responded, "It’s worth 9,800 contributions."
He then examined Duan Long’s storage ring, it took him a couple of minutes. "Everything inside the storage ring is worth 79,300 contribution points."
Tang Yin once again gave the Personal Identification Token to Liu Hao. He sent some of his energy into the token before handing it back to Tang Yin.
’Name: Demonic Asura’
’Contribution Points: 635,500’
’View Exchange Market’
’Current Mission: None’
Tang Yin chose the ’View Exchange Market’ option, and a list of all the resources and items available in the Neutral Cultivation Alliance appeared before his divine sense.
He scrolled down with his divine sense until he saw what he wanted.
’Chaotic Space Holy Land: 300,000 Contribution Points’
’Each purchase is equivalent to 1 year of entry in the chosen Holy Land.’
Tang Yin did not buy it immediately though. He wanted to buy at least 4 years’ worth of time in the Chaotic Space Holy Land.
The reason why the Chaotic Space Holy Land was so expensive was because of its rarity. There were only very few Space Principle based Holy Lands in the entire Bright Yang Continent.
The Neutral Cultivation Alliance only possessed one, the Chaotic Space Holy Land. Some of the other Rank 8 Organizations did not even possess a Space Principle based Holy Land, it was simply that rare.
Tang Yin wanted to enter the Chaotic Space Holy Land to Devour the abundant Space Principles there and expand the space of the Abyss Firmament.
Tang Yin knew that the Heaven Devouring Abyss did not truly Devour Principles, it instead redirected them to the Abyss Firmament. The only case in which the Martial Spirit would Devour Principles would be when Tang Yin wished to increase his cultivation base.
As a result, Tang Yin decided to send all the Principles he devoured into the Abyss Firmament, and if he did not want a certain Principle to be present there, he would simply Devour it to increase his cultivation base. It was a win-win situation either way.
Now, Tang Yin needed to collect 600,000 more contribution points before he could purchase 4 years’ worth of entry to the Chaotic Space Holy Land.
He had only started to accept missions from the Neutral Cultivation Alliance less than a month ago, yet he had already accumulated over 600,000 contribution points.
Although he had obtained most of his contribution points from trading resources, contribution points were contribution points. It meant that he had already in some way contributed heavily to the Neutral Cultivation Alliance.
"Thanks." Tang Yin thanked Liu Hao before making his way to the altar. He picked up one of the emerald jade tokens and searched for an appropriate mission.
A couple minutes of later, Tang Yin found a good mission with a decent reward. It was a Global Tier 7 mission near the Neutral Cultivation Alliance Branch he was currently in.
[Mission: Escort Young Miss Xu Yun to her destination]
[Description: Young Miss Xu Yun is the treasured granddaughter of the Law Domain Realm cultivator, Qian Zhong. He has reached a critical point in his training and cannot personally escort his granddaughter. Reach the Moonlit River Sect within a month of accepting the mission.]
[Difficulty: Tier 7]
[Location: From Moonlit River Sect to Thousand Blossom Pavilion]
[Objective: Safely escort Lady Xu Yun from the Moonlit River Sect to the Thousand Blossom Pavilion. No harm must befall her. The rest of the details will be explained by Lady Xu Yun’s guardian.]
[Rewards: Request any one item or resource from Qian Zhong, 30,000 Contribution Points.]
There were quite a few dangers in this mission. Tang Yin believed that some other Law Domain Realm cultivator, specifically Qian Zhong’s enemy, would want to abduct Xu Yun and use her as a hostage against Qian Zhong.
Obviously, this Law Domain Realm cultivator would not carry out the abduction by himself. He must be quite a renowned figure, and doing such a thing would taint his reputation.
The Law Domain Realm cultivator would most likely send his subordinates, who were most likely Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators, to kidnap Xu Yun.
Of course, this was merely speculation. There were many other reasons why Qian Zhong would request a bodyguard from the Neutral Cultivation Alliance.
But with Tang Yin’s logical reasoning, he believed the most probable reason to be to fend off the subordinates of an enemy Law Domain Realm cultivator.
But he did not think too much about this as everything would be explained by Xu Yun’s guardian.
Tang Yin bid his farewells to Liu Hao and left the Neutral Cultivation Alliance Branch.
The Moonlit River Sect was located in the Moon Gazing Region, which was around 14 Regions away from the Neutral Cultivation Alliance Branch.
Tang Yin continued to wear his black clothes, black mask, and a straw hat to conceal his identity. Unless one broke past the barrier of his divine sense, they would be unable to see his appearance or cultivation base.
Tang Yin easily crossed 3 Regions before encountering a Mid-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beast. He naturally killed it before continuing his journey.
2 Regions later, he encountered his second Rank 7 Demonic Beast. He lured it away from the Region before killing it to conceal his strength.
5 Regions later, something unexpected happened. Tang Yin sensed a Rank 8 Demonic Beast, and so did it. The Rank 8 Demonic Beast was not as lazy as the previous one Tang Yin had sensed. It deemed Tang Yin as a delicious meal and decided to pursue him.
Tang Yin instantly recognized the Rank 8 Demonic Beast. It was depicted clearly inside Tian Huang’s beast encyclopaedia.
It was a Low-tier Rank 8 Frost Wyrm.
The Frost Wyrm was a formidable beast, feared throughout the frozen tundras of the Bright Yang Continent.
The Frost Wyrm was a colossal creature, spanning several kilometres in length. Its icy blue scales glimmered in the sunlight, and its breath could freeze entire mountains in an instant. Its claws were as large as huge houses, it was a terrifying sight to behold.
Despite its size, the Frost Wyrm was quite an agile predator. It could soar through the sky with ease, leaving a trail of frost in its wake. Its jaws were large enough to swallow a whole herd of elephants whole, and its eyes sparked with a blue otherworldly light.
Encountering a Frost Wyrm would result in a sure death for almost all cultivators below the Law Domain Realm due to its immense power. Its icy breath could freeze anything in its path, and its mere movement could cause avalanches and earthquakes.
The Frost Wyrm was a true force of nature, untamed in the True Martial World.
The Frost Wyrm was a solitary creature, preferring to live in huge underground caves or other secluded icy domains.
As one of the strongest Demonic Beasts in the entire Bright Yang Continent, the Frost Wyrm did not eat much. It only ate once in a decade. However, each meal would consist of numerous Rank 7 Demonic Beasts and some unfortunate Principle Step cultivators.
As soon as Tang Yin’s divine sense felt the Frost Wyrm, it also sensed him. With a delighted roar, it tore through the air towards him.
"A delicious human. Brat, come here!" The Frost Wyrm shouted with an intimidating voice, unable to conceal its excitement.
Wherever it passed, everything was shrouded in frost and ice. It was as if everything was turned into a domain of ice whenever the Frost Wyrm flew past or over an area.
Tang Yin was shocked, he had done nothing to provoke the Frost Wyrm. The Frost Wyrm’s speed could rival his speed when he utilized the Phantom Steps in the Abyss Emperor Transformation state. It was truly terrifying to watch such a colossal creature rush towards him with a bloodthirsty human-like expression.
However, what made Tang Yin so sure that he could not battle the Low-tier Rank 8 Frost Wyrm was its Passive Domain. He did not possess even an inkling of thought to fight back, all his thoughts were focused on escaping.
Unlike a Law Domain Realm cultivator’s Law Domain, Rank 8 Demonic Beasts possessed their own Passive Domain.
