Chapter 214: Ch 214: Exchange (2)
A canon about three meters long was placed right in front of Emrys. Emrys can feel an incomparably dangerous air around the cannon. It was the product of technology and is capable of firing a destructive beam of energy that can destroy an entire universe.
Emrys was still far from becoming the strongest in his own universe. Since this weapon can destroy a universe, killing him is obviously as easy as cutting the cake as long as this weapon is fired.
Emrys asked and learned that this weapon can be charged with any type of energy. Once it is completely charged, it can be fired.
Idris is already an extremely powerful expert in his cosmic field. Due to his strength, he no longer needs this kind of weapon. He took out the Eclipse Cannon only because Emrys’s own strength was too low.
Although Idris cannot tell anything about Emrys’s Soul Cultivation, the aura on his body that belonged to the Cosmic Cultivation System was very weak. He and the other four can naturally tell that Emrys is a person weak, so weak that he can only be a man from a universe, not a Cosmic Field.
But of course, universes are located inside Cosmic Fields, so he was not surprised when Emrys told them that he came from a Cosmic Field named Spiritarium.
Emrys really wanted to take this Eclipse Cannon.
This is an exchange. It is expected for him to give Idris something of equal value if he wants to take the Eclipse Cannon.
When he asks what Idris wants, Idris tells him that he can take out all the treasures he has. If there is something Idris likes, Idris will tell him.
Emrys immediately took out a lot of treasures he obtained in the fragmented Cosmic Cultivation World and showed them to Idris, which caused Idris’s face to sink. At first, Idris thought Emrys would take out resources that related to souls. However, what Emrys took out were very ordinary treasures and far from related to souls.
In the end, he tells Emrys to take out something that can be beneficial for his soul.
Yes, Eclipse Cannon is powerful, but it can be found everywhere in Idris’s Cosmic Field.
Emrys only had half a drop of Soul Essence, and its value was incomparable. It is not easy to find Soul Essence even in the Vast Expanse of Eternity, let alone Cosmic Fields.
Yes, the stronger a person is, the less its value becomes to them. However, it is still considered an unrivaled treasure even in the Vast Expanse of Eternity. Perhaps one, two, or even ten drops might not draw much attention, but if there are more than a hundred drops of Soul Essence, they can be sold for an astronomical price in Eternity. At the same time, countless powerful factions would compete fiercely to acquire this treasure.
Most importantly, Emrys had a very strong feeling that this half drop could increase his Soul Cultivation directly. Moreover, it seems there are many other uses for this treasure.
No matter how valuable the Eclipse Cannon is, it is definitely not more important than a person’s own strength and cultivation. Emrys doesn’t want to exchange the Eclipse Cannon for the Soul Essence.
In the end, he was left with only one choice, that is to wait to return to the Infinite Soul Star. There, he can buy a lot of Soul Cultivation Resources and exchange them with treasures from the natives of various Cosmic Fields.
After thinking for a while, Emrys told Idris that he currently lacks resources beneficial for the soul. He can bring them back after returning to his world. At that time, they can complete this exchange.
To Emrys’s surprise, Idris shook his head and sighed helplessly before speaking, "You may not know, but the flow of time in the Eternal Paradise and the outside are completely different. It is too mysterious here. As long as we are here, we can certainly meet and do many tasks together. But once we leave and come back again, we won’t know how long has passed here, and it will be near impossible for us to meet again."
"Why?" Emrys asked.
"Who knows?" Idris replied, shrugging. "Well, this place is, after all, a terrifying existence that can bring people from different Cosmic Fields and even Vast Expanse of Eternity together. Perhaps, it’s only normal that it can’t be understood!"
Emrys nodded. After thinking for a while, he still gritted his teeth and took out that half drop of Soul Essence, shocking everyone.
Just the presence of Soul Essence was enough to incite them. They can feel their soul becoming stronger just from the energy being emanated by soul essence.
Emrys completed the transaction, opting to use half a drop of Soul Essence for the exchange for two reasons. First, this opportunity might not come again. Second, he still had another drop of Soul Essence after enduring several arduous trials in the tranquil space where he met Ling Xiaolong before. He could easily extract more if needed. Most importantly, he could directly devour souls to enhance his soul cultivation.
In the end, the Soul Essence didn’t hold as much value to him as it did to others or to typical Soul Cultivators.
After completing the exchange, Emrys suddenly walked to the front.
He was going to earn some Eternal Points.
Idris, Orin, Aurum, Ye Qingxian, and Fiora followed behind him as they were curious about what he was going to do.
"It’s a pain in the ass to gain points here." Idris sighed. "I’ve never earned more than 5 points!"
"Seriously?" Emrys was stunned. "But there are many trials that can earn the points."
"You’re right. However, you need to use the points as soon as you gain it. Or else, the points will be useless," Idris explained. "Also, the process of gaining points is an arduous one. Take the Heaven Battle Stage as an example. There’s a probability that our opponent is someone who surpasses us by two realms!"
"You’re kidding, right?" Emrys was shocked.
"Nope. I’m not kidding. This is how things work here," Idris replied. "After all, only geniuses from different Cosmic Fields can come here, and those who’re too weak and can’t pass the three trials won’t be able to get here as well."
"In my Cosmic Field, those who are able to come here have the qualifications of being a Master of Chaos," Ye Qingxian chimed in.
"In my Cosmic Field, those people are beloved by Mother Tree," Aurum said.
Emrys fell silent.
He came to the corridor, lifted his head, and looked toward the first battle stage.
There was a stone tablet beside the corridor with three names engraved in gold on it.
Yoshen: Four stages
Akram: Four stages
Samuel: Four stages
"What are these?" Emrys asked as he pointed at the stone tablet.
"If you want to know what these are, just touch the stone tablet," Idris explained. "Oh yeah, one more thing. Since we all come from different Cosmic Fields and have different cultivation methods, to make it easy to understand, our strength is classified into "levels" here."
Emrys nodded. He glanced at the stone tablet and touched it.
Voom!
At that moment, a stream of information surged into his head.
.....
╠ Rule 1→1 point will be granted for defeating the opponent, and the point will be doubled for every subsequent victory.
Rule 2→The opponent on the first battle stage has the combat power of Level 5.
Rule 3→Only those who have cleared the fourth battle stage can be bestowed with supreme honor and be recorded to be admired by future generations.
Rule 4→Those who are defeated will be teleported back to the corridor. Challengers will appear directly on the battle stage that they were defeated in the next challenge.╣
.....
Emrys turned his head and asked, "What is the strength of the fourth battle stage equivalent to?"
"According to my speculation, it should be Level 8," Idris replied. "I’ve managed to clear the first three battle stages, but I was defeated on the fourth battle stage. I’m pretty sure that the opponent that I went up against was at least a Level 8, as for the former three battle stages, they were all at Level 7, Level 6, and Level 5, respectively."
"Does this mean that the strength of those three people on the stone tablet is at least on Level 8?" Emrys was shocked.
Although Emrys doesn’t understand the concept of levels yet, he is sure to learn very soon.
"Yeah," Idris replied. "This is also the reason why it’s hard to earn points. When I was attempting the third battle stage, it took me nine attempts and three hundred years to clear it."
"I only managed to clear the first battle stage!" Aurum added.
A look of indignation crossed Orin’s face. Fiora sighed softly while Ye Qingxian said with her hands behind her back, "I’m confident that I can clear the fourth battle stage on my second attempt!"
