Chapter 58: Urgent Mission
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The black stone’s suggestion had indeed helped Li Ming significantly.

After two months, he had finally successfully fused them!

At the same time, he had also managed to improve his Golden Crow Body Tempering Art to have thirteen levels.

In this way, he would no longer need to use the Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art.

Nevertheless, Li Ming would not have to find any replacement cultivation techniques or anything like that at least while he was in the foundation establishment realm.

Just this Golden Crow Body Tempering Art would be able to support his entire cultivation through the foundation establishment realm.

This left Li Ming at ease.

Moreover, at the moment when Li Ming managed to fuse the two techniques, he achieved a breakthrough in the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, reaching the third level!

With that, his cultivation base was now at the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm!

Whether it was his body cultivation or qi cultivation, they were both stable at the middle of the foundation establishment realm.

After the fusion, the two had become one, and that made his cultivation much simpler and more convenient

Li Ming no longer needed to differentiate between the two types of cultivation.

Having reached the third level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, Li Ming now also possessed his own Golden Crow True Fire!

Moreover, this Golden Crow True Fire was enhanced by both his body cultivation and qi cultivation!

Although the true fire of most qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators was used to refine magical treasures, Li Ming was not limited to such usage.

His true fire could also be used to temper his body, as well as a means of attack!

After all that time and effort, he had increased his cultivation, solved the problem with regard to his cultivation technique, and solved the problem of how to combine his body and qi cultivation.

However, Li Ming had been feeling slightly awkward for the past two months.

After all of his spirit stones was absorbed by the black stone, he was only left with 15,000 merit points.

Having solved the problem with regard to his cultivation, he now had the problem of resources to worry about.

On the path of cultivation, although talent was very important, opportunities were also very important.

However, the most basic and required thing was none other than resources.

Spiritual herbs, treasures, and spirit stones, all of these are essential.

However, in order to obtain resources, he needed merit points, as well as spirit stones, as these were the main forms of currency in the sect.

He had run out of spirit stones, so he was only left with 15,000 merit points to use to trade for resources. However, he had no idea how many resources he could exchange for with just the amount he had.

Besides, he had not left the valley for the past two months. He wondered how Chen Qingke was doing.

It was obvious that Fang Ao had his eyes set on Chen Qingke.

Li Ming headed out of the Martial Hall and straight to the five halls’ missions area.

After entering the core of the Divine Will Sect, all the management of the five halls, including exchanging for resources, was carried out in the missions area.

As soon as Li Ming arrived, he saw a sea of people at the missions area.

The number of people that were here this time was even more than when he was last here two months ago!

Li Ming was confused as to why there were so many disciples receiving missions in the missions area.

Was this the sect showing that it was preparing to work hard?

But what could have caused such a situation? “Senior brother, why are there so many people today?” “Could it be that there are too many missions?”

Li Ming stopped a disciple and asked curiously. The disciple looked at Li Ming with contempt. “How do you not know about this?”

“Ah, hehe, I was in seclusion and had just come out.”

Upon hearing this, the disciple that Li Ming had stopped came to a realization and his expression returned to normal.

“It’s mostly because the sect has recently put up missions that only allow foundation establishment disciples to take them.”

“They say that there have been people from other sects that have been coming to the Heavenly Southern Region. Other than that, there have been a lot of demons popping up all over the place. And so, there are naturally more missions for us disciples to take.”

“Even those closed-door disciples have been sent out.”

Hearing this, Li Ming found himself curious about something.

“Do you mean to say that Senior Sister Lu Lan and Chen Qingke are also out completing missions?”

“Of course, they are stronger than us, so they naturally have to head out. I heard that they were sent out to more dangerous areas.”

Hearing this, Li Ming inquired about where they went. After that, he no longer cared about exchanging his merit points for anything. He immediately looked for and took a mission that would have him go to an area near to where the two girls were sent, and then he headed out.

Although the two girls had decent cultivation levels, they were ultimately outside the sect.

He could not help but recall that one time he had gone on a mission and met that woman at the temple.

It would be troublesome if they were to encounter someone like that.

That woman’s cultivation was probably above the foundation establishment realm.

However, Li Ming was also curious about why the matter of people from other sects entering the Heavenly Southern Region would cause such a huge commotion.

Also, he found himself remembering those demons he had encountered in his last mission and wondered what those demons were up to.

All sorts of questions filled Li Ming’s mind.

Although he had been in the sect for more than three years, because he had been immersed in body cultivation for most of that time, Li Ming did not know much about the things that happened inside and outside the sect.

The only thing he really knew was that the Divine Will Sect was the number one sect in the Heavenly Southern Region!

However, he was not too sure about the rest.

The cultivation world was complicated and unpredictable.

There were simply too many complicated things in this world, and Li Ming had not really cared nor thought much about them in the past.

But now it seemed that it was wishful thinking to live a peaceful life in the world of cultivation. There would simply too many things constantly at play.

But for now, Li Ming did not bother dwelling too much on these problems. He decided that he would simply deal with them as they came.

As the saying goes, if it is none of your business, then do not bother with it.

Although this was a mindset that was rather unambitious, it was practical.

As the mission that he had taken this time was somewhat urgent, the rewards that would be given to him by the sect for completing it were not bad.

If he successfully completed this mission, he would be rewarded with a total of 10,000 merit points And 5,000 spirit stones!

Just from this, he was able to infer that most, if not all, of the missions that the sect had issued this time were related to the safety of the sect!

It was only now that Li Ming got a better understanding of the situation.

In the world of cultivation, there was more than just rising into the clouds, and there was more than just the longing to transcend the mortal world. A more realistic look at the world of cultivation would present one with the constant conflicts between cultivators and even the slaughter of mortals!

Cultivation was the ultimate interpretation of the saying that life and death were determined by fate!

The Eastern Continent was very large and was divided into two regions, the South and the North.

Within the Heavenly Southern Region, there were countless sects.

It was the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Eastern Continent, and the Divine Will Sect was the strongest sect in the Heavenly Southern Region!

In comparison, the terrain of the north was harsh and dangerous. Although there was spiritual qi, the conditions were far from being as good as in the South.

The difference in geography and environment caused conflicts of interest to rise between the sects.

But if one were to sum it all up, the sects simply fought for better resources!

This was the very root of the conflicts between cultivators.

In the cultivation world, although monsters and demons counted as resources, these were relatively dangerous to hunt.

After all, to demons, cultivators themselves were also resources.

Windstorm Town, Heavenly Southern Region.

This was a small town in the mortal world, and there were very few people here at the moment.

Many commoners had long since fled and disappeared, while some were ultimately led to their final rest here.

All the valuables in the town were swept away.

Looking at this desolate town, Li Ming’s expression turned grave.

The mission given by the sect was to investigate what the outsiders were doing.

Should it be discovered and concluded that the outsiders had harmed the people that were under the Divine Will Sect’s protection, then the outsiders were to be killed!

Li Ming searched the town for a long time and finally saw a survivor.

The commoner’s face was filled with utter dread and fear.

Li Ming tried calming the commoner down and asked, “What happened here?”

Li Ming tried calming the commoner down and asked, “What happened here?”

“T-the… Heavenly Demon Sect! The people of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they, thev killed people and drank their blood!”

“They’re demons! Demons!”
