Chapter 926 - 838: Gathering Intelligence
Gu Xiaoyue and that Martial Artist explored with their Divine Sense and found that Duan Gujin had slain two Demon Beasts, only then did they return to their side, exhaling a sigh of relief."It's my turn to rest now, have you rested well?"
Duan Gujin asked the two Martial Artists.
"I haven't rested well yet!"
Gu Xiaoyue replied.
Her eyes flickered for a moment, contemplating why Duan Gujin hadn't yet fully unleashed all his Combat Power.
If Duan Gujin completely unleashed all his Combat Power, he could defeat even more Demon Beasts here.
Thus, as Duan Gujin sat cross-legged, she quickly asked, "Duan Gujin, why don't you fully unleash your Combat Power?"
Duan Gujin chuckled and replied, "We're here to slay Demon Beasts; our goal is to earn the most points. This place is excellent for grinding points, not for slashing and killing! Also, the higher you go, the more dangerous it becomes! Even if you rush up, you might not gain much benefit. In terms of maximizing point gain, maintaining this state allows us to gain more points with minimal expenditure!"
"Right, right, I think so too!"
Gu Xiaoyue quickly nodded in agreement.
After hearing this, she didn't find anything wrong with what Duan Gujin said; she had thought the same before.
However, she didn't want to be like other Martial Saints, just grinding Demon Beasts below; she wanted to go higher to gain more points.
After fighting with the Demon Beasts on the fourth layer before, she realized that the Demon Beasts here were most suitable for her grinding.
Actually, she wanted to go below more, but realizing she had already come up, moreover, with Duan Gujin and the Martial Saint Fourth Realm warrior by her side, she wouldn't encounter danger here, so she didn't go back down.
She estimated that grinding points here wouldn't be lower than grinding below.
"It's a pity those experts from the Divine World didn't set a reward for rushing to the highest floor. If those experts had set a reward rule for being the first to slay Demon Beasts on a higher floor, it would encourage more Martial Saints to climb and slay the Demon Beasts there!"
Gu Xiaoyue lamented.
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin smiled faintly and said, "Lady Gu, your idea is good, but if it's set like that, it would definitely lead to some bad outcomes! People would form teams and rush up just to get the first place!"
"Yes, you're very right!"
Gu Xiaoyue said with a smile.
"Lady Gu, which continent are you from?"
Duan Gujin asked.
"I'm from Sky Wolf Continent. Our continent is full of Sky Wolf Demon Beasts, so outsiders call it Sky Wolf Continent. Besides, on our continent, we've tamed the Sky Wolf Demon Beasts and domesticated them into mounts!"
Gu Xiaoyue said.
"I see!"
Duan Gujin's mind raced, thinking for a while before finally recalling what Sky Wolf Continent was about.
Sky Wolf Continent is considered a Demigod-level continent among thirty thousand Small Planes.
"I've heard of Sky Wolf Continent; many of the Major Sect members from the Divine World are from there!"
Duan Gujin said.
"And you? Which continent are you from?"
Gu Xiaoyue asked curiously.
"I merely come from a very low-level Plane. My Master, however, has a significant background as a Divine from the Divine World; I'm not at liberty to disclose their name!"
Duan Gujin said wistfully.
"I understand!"
Gu Xiaoyue quickly nodded.
Duan Gujin inwardly sneered; he was merely probing Gu Xiaoyue's background earlier.
Previously, the Divine World repeatedly instructed not to kill each other here.
Violators would be expelled and barred from participating in future assemblies of the Divine World.
If he made a move on Gu Xiaoyue here, he believed the Recording Name Plate would likely document the process.
In that case, he would suffer losses.
From his previous life's knowledge of the Divine World, he knew the Divine World wouldn't likely allow a Martial Artist with only Martial Saint Realm Cultivation to enter. To enter the Divine World, one must have at least reached the Shattering Void Realm.
Upon passing this Divine World assembly, he merely earned a ticket for future entry into the Divine World.
Before officially entering, he believed he and other Martial Saints would be arranged to cultivate on a Subdivine Realm continent.
Only upon reaching the Shattering Void Realm through cultivation could one enter the Divine World.
To those in the Divine World, people like Duan Gujin seemed like newborns, with their potential yet to be fully assessed.
As these newborns grow a bit, their potential becomes more evident.
During the process of these newborns growing up step by step, some fall behind their peers and get eliminated.
As these newborns continuously grow into adults, peers are constantly eliminated.
Only those who can thrive and reach the Demigod Realm are desired by the Divine World.
In the Divine World, Breakthrough Realm Martial Artists, a higher tier than the Shattering Void Realm, merely perform menial tasks in some Major Sects.
Duan Gujin thought he might encounter Gu Xiaoyue again; if they met again, he could devise a way to deal with her.
"Sky Wolf Continent is a rare Demigod-level continent, capable of nurturing Demigod-level experts!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Yes! That's true!"
Gu Xiaoyue's eyes lit up suddenly as she caught a key clue from Duan Gujin's words, deducing that Duan Gujin's Master was indeed a formidable expert from the Divine World.
Although Sky Wolf Continent could cultivate Demigod-level experts, such individuals were exceedingly rare.
On Sky Wolf Continent, there were only about a thousand Breakthrough Realm experts, while over twenty thousand Shattering Void Realm experts existed below the Breakthrough Realm.
On Yuanzhen Continent, fewer than ten Shattering Void Realm Martial Artists could be nurtured, highlighting the discrepancies between Planes.
"Once you're ready, go slay some monsters!"
Duan Gujin pondered for a while and said.
"Alright!"
Gu Xiaoyue exhaled, her eyes flickering as her mind raced, contemplating how to strengthen her relationship with Duan Gujin.
After a while, she went to slay a nearby Demon Beast.
This time, she consumed eighty percent of her Primordial Power, only successfully slaying that one Demon Beast.
The time she spent was three times more than Duan Gujin.
Without comparison, Gu Xiaoyue wouldn't have realized the vast difference in strength between her and Duan Gujin.
Through comparison, she finally understood how significant the disparity in strength was between her and Duan Gujin.
"I'm exhausted, that person killed two of these Demon Beasts with over forty percent of his Primordial Power left, while I almost ran out of steam just killing one!"
Gu Xiaoyue extended her Divine Sense, observing Duan Gujin for a long time, without detecting anything different in him compared to herself.
