194 Earning Points

A deafening roar came from Mount Tianyuan. The entire mountain trembled, and countless birds were sent flying!

It was a beast tide! Zhou Yun’s sharp senses picked up the footsteps of countless demonic beasts. Their target was the direction of the Zhen Xin Sect.

Zhou Yun looked at Little Qing. Little Qing at the incarnation stage had terrifying strength. If Little Qing did not hold back its aura while being Zhou Yun’s mount, he might have fainted from its aura!

“Foundation establishment to golden core stage, golden core stage to nascent soul stage. And above the nascent soul stage is the incomparably powerful incarnation stage!”

!!
“Before the golden core, one is a half-immortal. After the great stage of golden core, the golden core body tempering will truly transform into the body of a mortal and step into the immortal cultivation path!” Zhou Yun muttered.

He had never thought that he, a mere foundation establishment cultivator, would one day be able to use an incarnation stage demonic beast as a mount.

It felt so good!

“I’ve decided to choose you, Little Qing!” Zhou Yun shouted as he pointed in the direction of the huge beast tide that was shaking the forest and the ground!

How could he not make use of his incarnation stage demonic beast mount?

100 points a day? It was just a hundred foundation establishment stage demonic beasts! In front of an incarnation stage demonic beast, they were nothing but minions! Not to mention attacking, he could kill a hundred foundation establishment demonic beasts with a single breath!

“Little Qing, kill him!” Zhou Yun shouted loudly.

However, the scene of Little Qing killing everyone on Mount Tianyuan and earning points for him did not happen.

Little Qing put on an aggrieved face and put its two dragon claws together, making a sound.

“Wuwu… Wuwuwu!” Zhou Yun understood. According to the rules of the Divine Gate, other than the items in the designated area that could help the disciples of the Divine Gate attack, no other items could be used to help them attack.

And this included the demonic beasts that were rented to be used as mounts.

“You’re saying that you can only protect my life and safety in times of danger. Other than being my mount, you can’t help me kill demonic beasts?” Zhou Yun asked.

“Wuu!” Little Qing nodded and rolled in the air. Its body suddenly shrank and turned into a green ribbon, which was tied to Zhou Yun’s arm.

“Tsk.” Zhou Yun took out his token and looked at the points for using his demonic beast form to battle.

“Renting a demonic beast for protection costs 2,000 points a day! And there’s a strict limit to how much you can attack the opponent’s cultivation level!” Zhou Yun was speechless. The Divine Gate seemed to have thought of every possibility and did not give him any chance to use the demonic beast to attack the low-level demonic beasts to earn points.

Zhou Yun thought about it and suddenly understood. After all, the Divine Gate was a terrifyingly powerful force with 180 million cultivators. Moreover, its history was immeasurable.

What had not happened? Zhou Yun also did not think that he was the only one who had thought of taking advantage of the loophole.

“Forget it. I’ll just treat it as a rehabilitation exercise. Let me see how powerful the demonic beasts in the outside world are compared to the small world!” Zhou Yun didn’t stay where he was. Instead, he charged toward Mount Tianyuan.

With the protection of an incarnation stage demonic beast, he simply couldn’t imagine how he would fail a mission that only foundation establishment disciples could undertake.

“Roar!” Just as he stepped into Mount Tianyuan, Zhou Yun heard a beast’s roar coming from the front. The beast’s roar had an extremely strong penetrating power. Moreover, it even had a slight aura of a king!

“This is a lion? No, it’s even more terrifying than a lion!” Zhou Yun looked up and saw that the demonic beast was a lion whose body was covered in flames. Its cultivation level was the late-stage foundation establishment! Each step it took on the ground would create a lava pit.

“Fire? Speaking of which, I haven’t used this move in a long time.” When Zhou Yun saw the lion covered in flames, he thought of the Fire Sword Intent.

“First move of the Divine Gate, 5 swords and 5 directions!” Zhou Yun waved the Fire Dragon Sword and the sword spirit residing within it vibrated lightly. The Fire Dragon Sword burned with terrifying flames!

It was an existence that was different from the flaming lion’s true flames. Zhou Yun’s figure rapidly approached the flaming lion.

The forest was shaking. The moment the auras of both sides collided, dozens of trees around them were instantly set on fire.

“Charge!” Zhou Yun calmly retracted his sword, and the flaming lion turned into a flame that slowly extinguished. And in front of them, there were hundreds and thousands of flaming lions charging over!

Zhou Yun’s eyes sharpened. The sword in his hand did not slow down at all. He rushed forward with his body at high speed, and the red sword light flickered in the forest.

“Charge! Buzz!” As Zhou Yun’s figure passed through the pride of blazing flaming lions, hundreds of large trees were instantly set ablaze. In the next moment, all the flames were instantly extinguished by the whistling of the sword wind.

“A raging flaming lion in the late-stage foundation establishment is already comparable to Su Wanyi in terms of strength. From the looks of it, the demonic beasts in the outside world are all stronger than ordinary disciples of the five sects. It’s on par with an inner sect eldest senior sister in Spirit Valley.” Zhou Yun put away the Fire Dragon Sword and slowly concluded. He realized that in the outside world, ordinary demonic beasts were indeed stronger than he had expected.

And this was only a Level 1 mission. Zhou Yun did not forget that there was a Level 2 mission above this, which meant that the cultivator needed to be even stronger!

Based on the fact that even the disciples of the Divine Gate could take on such a mission, the outcome was not optimistic as to how many people from the five sects would remain in the Divine Gate. Perhaps not even a thousand.

“I wonder how Qiao’er is doing. City Lord Gu did put 2,000 points into my token. From the looks of it, Qiao’er should be treated as an inner sect disciple and trained well. I’m relieved.” When Zhou Yun saw the 2000 points, he heaved a sigh of relief.

As for Sect Leader Ling Qingyun and the other five sect leaders, Zhou Yun didn’t care about them. Cultivators who could reach the golden core stage should be able to gain a foothold in this Divine Gate. Even though they would only be outer sect disciples.

“Ding!” A faint sound suddenly came from the token. Zhou Yun picked it up and saw that there were more than a thousand points on it! His balance had increased from 1,300 points to almost 3,000 points!

After Zhou Yun had killed the flaming lion, the token emitted a faint golden light and absorbed the flaming lion’s corpse into it.

Zhou Yun guessed that the token would only calculate the points after absorbing the corpses.

“But I didn’t expect to get more than 1,000 points at the start! It seems like the points Yi Wuyin mentioned aren’t that hard to earn.” Zhou Yun shook his head. He had thought 1,000 points were a lot from Yi Wuyin’s fierce look.

“Roar!” Suddenly, a demonic beast’s roar rang out in front of them. Zhou Yun’s face was filled with joy. His points were here!

“Perhaps I can use my points to exchange for cultivation techniques and improve myself once again after I return!” Zhou Yun recalled the large number of items in the inventory and could not help but wipe his saliva.

“Points, here I come!” Zhou Yun smiled as he slowly pulled out the Fire Dragon Sword.
