Chapter 254 Beast Origin and Human Qi.

The cultivators' thoughts stirred slightly, and they began to try to communicate with the Mirror Order.

As magical power and divine sense slowly seeped into the token, a light screen gradually formed in the sea of ​​consciousness of many clan cultivators, clearly displaying each person's name, points, and the specific ranking position of their respective forces on the list.

The light from the Mirror Order gradually subsided, the faint glow disappearing into the material, but its connection with the crystal tablet had been deeply established.

The inspector lowered his hand, his glossy fingertips disappearing back into his black robe.

He remained suspended there, silent, still, and unresponsive, as if activating tens of thousands of tokens just now was not his doing.

No one dared to approach and speak to them, and no one even dared to stare at that eerie mask for long.

It was as if they knew that even if they approached, they would be ignored.

This is a fairly accurate intuition.

This being also intentionally gave off a hint.

"The Mirror Void Token has been activated." Luo Qinghan's cold voice broke the strange silence. "Everyone can check the token information and rankings themselves. Refine the token as soon as possible to participate in battles or carry out missions. Merit and achievements are all in your hands! Dismissed!"

The crowd began to stir, and the discussions surged up again like a tide, even more heated than before.

Countless people were either excited, shocked, or full of ambition.

Beneath the crystal monument, the crowds remained densest, gazing up at the unattainable names on the list, dreaming that one day their own names would shine there as well.

……

"Brother Chen!" Li Juefeng squeezed in unnoticed, his eyes burning. "You've finally arrived!"

The sword intent emanating from him caused several cultivators from smaller families around him to instinctively take a step back.

Chen Qian withdrew his gaze from the inspector standing silently before the crystal monument, looked at Li Juefeng, and smiled calmly: "Brother Li, it's been two months, and your sword aura has become even sharper."

Li Juefeng shook his head and said, "The sharpness cannot be concealed, which is not in line with the true essence of the sect's sword intent. It still needs more honing."

Chen Qian nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crystal tablet. This Beast Extermination Ranking was undoubtedly the supreme stage where the geniuses of various immortal sects competed.

"Brother Chen, do you have some free time? I'd like to have a friendly exchange with you," Li Juefeng said, cupping his hands in greeting, his eyes filled with hope.

"Uh~" Chen Qian was somewhat speechless.

He was already fully aware of Li Juefeng's feelings, and this straightforward style was very much "Li Juefeng".

"of course can."

Chen Qian smiled and said, "But I'm new here, so let me settle in and get familiar with the situation first, right?"

"It was I, Li, who was being presumptuous."

Li Juefeng then realized that the other person had just arrived in a new place, and he was already blocking him and demanding a sparring match. What was the difference between that and picking a fight for no reason?
"Brother Chen has my communication talisman. Once everything is settled, I will await your good news. Farewell!"

Having said that, he bowed respectfully and left.

"..." Chen Qian shook his head.

His decisive and straightforward personality suited him quite well.

Not far away, a newly arrived disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, his expression shifting, gasped, "Hiss... Our entire Beast Taming Sect only ranks... 90,967 on the Eastern Abyss Power Ranking? This is too..."

His fellow disciple beside him sneered, "Then what more do you want? These points are just the results of our fellow disciples who arrived earlier over the past month."

"We newcomers haven't had a chance to kill any monsters yet, have we?"

"That's true, that's true! We've only just been incorporated into the Immortal Alliance's system, so the future looks promising!"

"Yes! Shall we go check out the eighth floor together?"

"Let's go together! Let's go together! Haha."

The two walked away hand in hand, clearly eager to get to the mission hall, hoping to find a suitable mission to earn points.

After excitedly examining his token for a while, Chen Yunzheng looked at the lonely "zero" points and the words "not on the list" on it and said, "Grandpa, Fourth Ancestor, shall we go to the Mission Hall?"

Chen Qian and Chen Ruiang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with seriousness, yet also with a sense of eagerness.

"We need to settle things first, okay?" Old Master Chen said, giving his grandson a disdainful look.

The crystal monument stands tall, the list hangs high, and the mysterious and unpredictable inspector silently announces the start of this extraordinary pioneering war, which also reflects the overall situation of the Eastern Abyss.

……

The Chen family members followed the large flow of people back to the affairs platform on the eighth floor. Many managers in the internal affairs hall had already been mobilized to continuously distribute the flow of people to various pre-arranged residences.

The second group to arrive from the Lijiang Plain were families under the rule of the Seven Stars Sect. Under the leadership of True Person Xuanwei, they were also reorganizing their personnel and aiming for the top.

Fortunately, the venues were all extremely spacious, so there was no interference or restriction in their performance.

The methods of cultivating immortality are profound and the efficiency of doing things is extremely high. Otherwise, the arrival of these tens of thousands of people alone might have caused an upheaval.

Not to mention there are three more groups of people who haven't arrived yet!
Even with the fastest efficiency, it still took more than half a day for everyone in the Chen family to be settled.

The temporary cave dwelling arranged for the Chen family was located in a crack in the fifth floor of a rock. The ceiling was like a sliver of sky, but the interior was spacious, dry, and well-ventilated, which must have been achieved with the help of an array.

A large number of stone houses have been built here, and even with tens of thousands of people living here, it does not feel crowded at all.

This kind of living experience is quite rare, and Chen Qian felt very satisfied.

He was the fourth ancestor of the family and a master cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, so it was only natural that he had his own separate house.

As for the large number of Qi Refining disciples, they would have to share a room with others. Of course, the rooms weren't cramped, but there was very little private space.

Normally, living there is no problem, but if you want to go into seclusion or break through to a higher level, you can spend some spirit stones to rent a cave specifically for seclusion.

……

Inside the room, Chen Qian opened his eyes and whispered "Aka" in his mind, and a familiar response came from his mind.

"Understood... Master... The location of Mistress Su has been located."

A few breaths later, in a significantly more luxurious cave more than ten miles away from the fifth level, a hole taller than a person silently opened in the void, and Chen Qian stepped out with an easy expression.

Approaching them was Su Yueshang, whom they hadn't seen for over two months. Her beautiful face was radiant with longing...

During this spatial journey, Chen Qian entrusted the entire process to Aka, fearing that a mishap might alert the mysterious overseer at the top. Fortunately, with the support of the Fate Wheel Realm, Aka proved to be incredibly capable, and Chen Qian's worries were entirely unnecessary.

Having not seen each other for a long time, Chen Qian didn't waste any words. He hugged his beautiful Core Formation Fairy wife and then flashed back to Xuanzhu Palace.

Three days later...

The battle is over! The battle is over! The battle is over!

……

Su Yueshang lazily leaned into Chen Qian's arms, feeling a sense of fullness surging through her meridians like a tidal wave, and a satisfied smile quietly appeared on her face.

The two cultivated together not only to alleviate their longing for each other, but also because Su Yueshang needed to improve her cultivation.

Due to the limitations of her cultivation method, every bit of progress she made after forming her core had to be accumulated in ordinary times, and it was only through dual cultivation that it could truly be transformed into strength.

"My lord, you have become even stronger. I almost couldn't withstand it."

"My wife is getting stronger, so of course I can't let her down!" Chen Qian felt very happy to be sincerely praised and admired by his beautiful wife.

"Mmm~" Su Yueshang inhaled her lover's scent with fascination, "After a few more times, I feel like I'll be able to grasp the basics of my field."

"Really? Then let's continue!" Chen Qian chuckled. He benefited greatly from cultivating with Su Yueshang and didn't feel tired at all.

"Not yet, Your Majesty!" Su Yueshang gently pressed down Chen Qian's mischievous hand and said coquettishly, "I need to accumulate more strength before I can do it, please spare me for now!"

“Alright,” Chen Qian stopped teasing the beauty. He knew the characteristics of Su Yueshang’s martial arts technique, and his earlier eagerness was just a manifestation of bedroom pleasure.

……

The clouds dispersed and the rain ceased, revealing a clear sky and bright moon.

After Chen Qian and Su Yueshang finished getting ready, they arrived at a floating island in Xuanzhu Palace. The surrounding area was shrouded in mist and a gentle breeze was blowing, making for a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Chen Yunxi and Feng Momo also arrived, and the girls immediately greeted each other like sisters, showing great affection.

After exchanging pleasantries, at Chen Qian's request, Su Yueshang introduced the recent situations of several "acquaintances".

"Meng'er, Xu'er and the others have been assigned to guard the area, which is located in Ziyun Mountain, three thousand miles to the southeast. It is the most important resource production area of ​​Wuyin City, and it has been operating for hundreds of years."

"Most importantly, after years of clearing and clearing, the content of beast resources in Ziyun Mountain is extremely low, and the human energy has been restored to its peak, which is conducive to stationing and cultivation."

Feng Momo looked puzzled: "Sister Yuechang, what are Beast Origin and Human Qi?"

Chen Yunxi was also puzzled. She usually had a wide range of interests and a diverse range of knowledge, but now she had clearly encountered a blind spot in her knowledge.

Chen Qian didn't know much either. He had only been cultivating for a short time and had been staying within the Beast Taming Sect's territory. He hadn't even been to the territories of other immortal sects, let alone the national borders.

“Okay, then I’ll give a brief explanation.” Su Yueshang nodded and smiled, and began to explain.

……

Chen Qian sat cross-legged, holding the Mirror Token that shimmered with a faint light in his palm.

As he refined the token, he pondered the information Su Yueshang had narrated.

Su Yueshang leaned lazily against him, her long, black hair cascading over her shoulders, her fingertips entwining a strand of his hair.

"Have you ever learned about the origins of beasts and the Qi of humans before?" She looked at Chen Qian, who seemed to be deep in thought, and wondered if he knew anything about it.

Chen Qian nodded and took her soft hand in his: "I have seen a few words about it in some classic books, but I have not studied it in depth."

"This trip to the Demon-Slaying Gorge is my first time stepping outside the country. Along the way, I sensed that this wilderness is filled with a wild and violent aura, which is completely different from the spiritual energy within the human kingdom."

Su Yueshang sat up straight, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.

“Indeed. My husband has a perfect mind and keen senses, so he must have noticed something.”

"It is said that this vast land of Dongyuan was a paradise for humankind millions of years ago."

"But countless millennia ago, the unfathomable abyss in the center of the continent suddenly rose from the ground and became the vast and boundless Ancestral Dragon Mountain Range, where countless powerful demonic beasts began to multiply and grow rapidly."

"There is also a claim that those powerful and ferocious orcs are not native to our Heavenly Realm, but come from another world."

"When they came here to take root, they deeply merged their life essence, powerful vital energy, and chaotic will with the life essence of the demonic beasts of this world, forming a primordial imprint. Just like ink dripping into a clear spring, it slowly permeated the spiritual energy of this world into what it is today!"

Her voice carried a hint of ethereal coldness: "This primordial imprint that can permeate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the source of beasts."

"In places rich in beast resources, monsters and beastmen will thrive, their physical strength will become more and more savage, the chances of awakening their talents and supernatural abilities will increase, and they will reproduce more rapidly."

"But for the human race..." She paused slightly, looked at Chen Qian, Feng Momo, and Chen Yunxi who were listening intently, and said in a cold voice.

"That mark is like poison and filth. If an ordinary mortal is born and raised here, his soul will be clouded and his intelligence dulled. The chance of him being able to produce a descendant with spiritual roots is less than one in a hundred!"

"Even for cultivators like us, absorbing and refining such spiritual energy requires immense effort to peel away the imprints within it. A slight mistake can result in mixed magical power and an unstable foundation, or even a corrupted mind and spirit, turning one into a madman who only knows how to kill!"

"In such an environment, how can the human race survive? How can it grow stronger? Therefore, when our human race expands its territory, it is not only to occupy land and seize treasures, but also to sort out the earth's veins, purify spiritual energy, transform beast energy, and spread human energy widely!"

"Then... human energy is the purified spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Chen Yunxi asked thoughtfully.

“That’s one way to put it.” Su Yueshang’s eyes showed approval. “The so-called ‘human energy’ is the human race’s use of its own Dao to cleanse the beast-origin imprints in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and to purify the earth’s veins and make them pure again, creating an environment suitable for our human race to reproduce, thrive, and cultivate.”

"In places where human energy flourishes, spiritual energy is gentle and pure, mortals are intelligent and clear-headed, and the chances of spiritual roots emerging in the descendants of cultivators are greatly increased, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort!"

"This is the ultimate goal of our tribe's pioneering efforts—to transform the wild and untamed land of beasts into a fertile ground for the sustainable development of humankind!"

Feng Momo's face lit up with realization: "So that Beast Extermination Ranking, and also the Mirror Realm, the Mirror Token..."

"Brilliant!" Su Yueshang smiled. "The Mirror Void Token is the Purification Void Token. It can absorb the essence, blood, and fragments of origin that we lose after killing demons and beastmen. With the power of the Mirror Void Realm, the supreme treasure of the human race, it begins to be initially transformed at the void level."

"This is the most convenient and direct way to transform beast sources into human energy! Therefore, the higher the score on the Beast Extermination Ranking, the greater the contribution. The more beast sources are transformed, the more prosperous the human race's fortune will be!"

She connected with the Primordial Token and projected the scene of Tianfeng Pass into the void.

"Look at this fortress formation. It's not just for defense; it's also constantly drawing on, purifying, and transforming the beast energy from the surrounding area!"

"And then there are all sorts of missions in the mission hall, covering all aspects of combat, reconnaissance, logistics, resource gathering, and construction. The ultimate goal of all of them is to cleanse the earth's veins and purify the land!"

Su Yueshang's gaze deepened. "This is a slow and steady process, not something that can be accomplished overnight. Killing a single demon beast may only take a moment, but to completely purify the beast energy accumulated in its territory may take several years or even more than a decade."

"Clearing the land is difficult, but transforming the soil is even more difficult. This is a war for the life and death of the race."
