Chapter 149: The Inescapable Evil Spirits? Nonexistent! (3)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Wang Cai is an intelligence collector from Gu Yun Star. He is currently responsible for keeping an eye on this particular affection-based source evil spirit up ahead.
Dealing with this type of source evil spirit, which is afraid of affection-based powers, is extremely challenging. Finding a cultivator who practices affection-based powers is rare.
This affection-based source evil spirit has been in existence for over a hundred years, roaming this area continuously. Despite more than a century passing, no one in Heijiao City has been able to deal with it.
It’s worth noting that Heijiao City encompasses over a hundred human planets in the Heijiao Star Nebula. There are over ninety small worlds and ten major worlds. Even with numerous strong cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, their combined strength hasn’t been enough to handle this unique source evil spirit.
It’s clear that no one can resolve this specific type of source evil spirit, yet higher-ups insist that he keeps watch on it. This has left him very frustrated, making him question the sanity of those in authority. Who at this level could possibly comprehend the power of familial bonds? It sounds absurd.
If it weren’t for the resources provided for keeping watch, he would have quit long ago.
Today, Wang Cai is here as usual, keeping his vigil. In his field of vision, a person slowly appears. Initially, Wang Cai didn’t pay much attention, as many people pass through here. However, when the newcomer effortlessly defeats the affection-based source evil spirit with a single sword strike, Wang Cai widens his eyes in astonishment. He even rubs his eyes to ensure he’s not in some illusion.
“What? Did this insurmountable evil spirit die?” Wang Cai hastily examines the person who took action. He has no recollection of them, and their attire doesn’t belong to any of the ten major worlds.
“The clothing gradually shifts from white to pale black, and there’s a broken starry longsword on their back…”
“Which world’s sect is this?” Wang Cai’s mind races, but he has no recollection.
“It seems they’re from a small world. Incredible, practicing the power of affection? How can someone cultivate such an unusual power?”
Although the insurmountable source evil spirit is gone, Wang Cai is thrilled. Finally, he doesn’t have to stay here continuously. Moreover, he can report this person’s information and receive a reward. Information about practitioners with unique powers is always in demand.
Soon, Wang Cai forwards the individual’s characteristics to the higher-ups.
Su Yang casually eliminates the evil spirit he encountered. The gains he receives surprise him.
[Will of All Beings +1300]
Apart from the Will of All Beings, there’s also a faint trace of star system source at the location where the evil spirit died. It’s a short segment, but it radiates a strong source energy.
Su Yang instructs the consciousness of the Heavenly Path to transform this section of star system source into world source.
[World Source: 309 points]
Satisfied with the instant increase in world source, Su Yang continues toward the evil spirit nest.
Even before reaching the nest’s location, as he approaches it, Su Yang frequently encounters source evil spirits.
One after another, they appear in front of him, with levels ranging from Ivi00 to IV140.
This puzzles Su Yang. He’s still on the outskirts of the evil spirit nest, yet the source evil spirits he’s encountering are about to break through the Exteriorization stage and reach the Nascent Soul stage.
If their levels go any higher, he might not be able to defeat them.
He begins to seriously doubt whether he’ll encounter even stronger source evil spirits inside the nest.
In just a short while, he’s gained over a million Will of All Beings, and he’s obtained two thousand points of world source, in addition to his existing total.
[World Source: 2341 points]
Normally, if he were to convert his source in the Great Xia World patiently, it would take at least forty days.
For safety’s sake, he decides to clarify his doubts. He’s new to the star system source area and has only relied on written records and basic knowledge provided by Heijiao City.
He needs to seek information from someone knowledgeable.
There are many cultivators gathered here, some of whom specialize in collecting information, like spies who monitor the movements of source evil spirits.
“Excuse me, could I ask you something?” Su Yang approaches a person.
This individual’s strength isn’t very high, just Ivi12.
“Of course, feel free to ask,” says He Yunsheng, showing respectful attitude. Su Yang had just eliminated a source evil spirit in front of him with ease. Although the opponent is powerful, as long as the questions don’t involve classified information, he’s willing to answer, considering it an opportunity for goodwill.
But if it’s related to classified information, there would be a fee.
“Is it true that only Exteriorization stage source evil spirits are found inside the Exteriorization-level evil spirit nest?” Su Yang inquires.
“Not exactly. The level is determined by the danger on the outskirts of the evil spirit nest,” explains He Yunsheng. “Deep inside the evil spirit nest, even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage with means to leave the star system source area dare not enter.”
Su Yang instantly understands through He Yunsheng’s explanation why he felt something was amiss. The level is determined by the danger at the periphery, which seems a bit unfair.
However, upon careful consideration, he realizes that it’s challenging for ordinary people to enter the evil spirit nest, and even the source evil spirits on the periphery are hard to deal with.
“Thank you for clarifying,” Su Yang expresses his gratitude.
“Don’t mention it. By the way, do you mind if I inquire about your cultivation? I have some information on source evil spirits that might be helpful to you,” He Yunsheng seizes the opportunity to promote information. He had seen Su Yang easily dispatch the darkness-fearing source evil spirit just moments ago. While he assumes Su Yang primarily wields darkness powers, he may have other abilities as well.
“Thank you for your kind offer, but it won’t be necessary. I have a diverse range of abilities. I’d like to explore the area on my own for now,” Su Yang politely declines.
Source evil spirit information? He has no use for it.
“Alright, here’s my contact token. I’m He Yunsheng from Gu Yun Star. Feel free to contact me if you ever need assistance,” he says, leaving his contact information behind.
After bidding farewell to this person, Su Yang decides to explore the outskirts first and reap some source evil spirits.
An hour quietly passes by.
Su Yang has completed half a circuit around the Exteriorization-level source evil spirit nest. He’s taken care of all the source evil spirits he encountered.
His harvest has significantly increased, with his Will of All Beings totaling almost a million and his world source reaching 11 points.
[World Source: 13221]
Now, a source evil spirit appears before him that he cannot handle. It resembles a withered tree, with root-like legs, moving slowly.
[Source Evil Spirit – Unyielding]
Level: IV170 – Nascent Soul stage
Contained Source: 1.4 strands
Fear Attribute: Light
Su Yang’s level is currently IV159, and he stands no chance. He checks his interface:
Will of All Beings: 2.81 million
Perhaps it’s time to utilize this resource he has been accumulating. He had refrained from using it earlier because acquiring Will of All Beings was challenging, but now there are many ways to obtain it, and it’s no longer difficult.
As long as he retains some to create sword techniques, that should be sufficient.
It’s time to digest the fruits of his labor..
