Chapter 235 - Meat
Flying through the sky, caelum headed the direction where an ensuing battle could be seen. He already foresaw this in his Omniscient yet wanted to witness the situation in his very own eyes. Caelum lacked the Omnipresence to complete the Omniscient therefore could not rely heavily on it.
Few minutes later arrive at the scene where around Silver to gold rank demon beast could be seen below. In the Cultivation ranking of Tales of Demon and gods begin from White, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Black-Gold and Legend.
Upon reaching the silver rank, these individuals can now become a Demon Spiritualist who is able to use Demon spirit into their Soul realm taking their form. Normally a Demon Spiritualist is able to integrate one demon spirit and impossible to have more than one, However, there are ways to bypass this limit like what Nie Lie did.
A Demon Spiritualist is able to feed soul force to their Demon spirit in order for it to grow but this would lose their own Soul and would be forced to re-cultivate what they've lost. Regardless, A demon spirit is able to grow alongside the demon Spiritualist.
There are also different factors that can improve the quality of Demon spirit, namely the affinity to their soul attribute and form, Growth and Bloodline. The growth is divided from Poor, Ordinary, Good, Excellent, Extraordinary and God while Bloodline is divided from Ordinary, Dragon, Ancient and Primordial.
Gaining a Primordial bloodline with God growth is nearly impossible to be naturally seen yet by using the treasure name, Nightmare Demon Pot that allows to fuse different kinds of Demon Spirit that result in either nothing or stronger Demon Spirit.
There is also a rare occurrence of a mutated Spirit beast that can boost its potential even more. Caelum planned to produce for his wives and children to make them stronger.
Observing the scene further, the demon beast was having a fierce battle with a group of humans who clenched their weapon and attacked the demon beast. This human was Silver rank yet did not even try using a Demon Spirit. In the end, they were overwhelmed as a demon beast is innately stronger compared to a demon spiritualist to their much denser Soul force.
He normally could care less about human life that does not have any relation to him considering his comprehension Life and death which include suffering, hatred, remorse as well as joy, happiness and satisfaction. Furthermore, his inner world that was formed using his energy constantly in a destruction and creation cycle lets him witness their lives.
"Well at least this will lead me to some human settlement."
Caelum witnessed how they were near death as he descended swiftly into the ground where everyone was instantly overwhelmed by his presence. Unlike his body that reaches the Divine Leakless Body unable to hide his energies when in a physical Soul.
He did minimize it to a desirable level but it was still overbearing pressure. Caelum observed the aching body of the human while turning to the Demon beast who was unable to run away.
The human could not comprehend what's going on, finding themselves overwhelmed by a demon beast before someone descended from the sky who was a young man far younger than them yet the way he carried himself knew he was not simple.
Caelum held out his hand then performed a few specific slashes using the blade intent to cut and kill the demon's beast, turning them into freshly butchered meat. It was a waste knowing this human hunted the demon beast not for strength but food.
In a blink of an eye the demon's beast blood was drained and deboned while the meat was precisely cut. The demon beast was a type of Ox which was easier to butcher compared to humanoid shape.
"Done, let me heal after which I would like to ask for directions for human settlement."
He didn't need their answer but did it out of habit. Caelum only wanted to gain their trust by conversing and letting them know how to pay the debt by leading him to a human settlement.
By using his Life, Dao and energy instantly heal their wounds leaving no scar causing them to question if they were dreaming and understand the person was an expert. They came out of their shock and quickly showed their gratitude.
"Thank you, savior for helping us and would do our best to repay the debts. May I ask this one name?"
"Call me Tian and no need to take it seriously, only needed to help me find human settlement. Furthermore, you can have the demon beast meat since I have no use for it."
They were perplexed how their savior not only helped them but also willing to give the demon beast he slaughtered for them.
"Forgive me, we can't accept it, savior. You were the one who was killed therefore it is yours. We are still willing to guide to our settlement."
"Please no need to be humble, just take the meat knowing you fought for your life to obtain it."
"T-That's….very well, savior then we will not be polite. You lot gather the meat!"
Caelum watched from the side while conversing to their leader who began to tell him more about their settlement. Their home was called the Heavenly fate Plateau where food and resources was scarce causing them to be desperate for food.
They do not have any Demon spiritualist due to lack of resources yet their foundation as Fighter, a person who doesn't use Demon spirit, still has a more tempered foundation compared to the same realm.
Caelum recalls it was the place where the Spiritual Goddess Yu Yan was currently fixing her Divine spark. This is also where the law was first introduced into the series. Fundamentally the Law energy is an unorthodox way of increasing their strength.
In the tales of demons and gods, a Spiritual Gods or goddess are entities that comprehend the law then integrating that law into their body that causes them to virtually be immortal as long there's no one better in comprehending their law or divine spark is not stolen.
The drawback of becoming a Spiritual God is becoming bound by one law and unable to comprehend as well as use other laws. The laws are a set of inscription patterns for this Tales of demon and god verse but in truth it only invokes the true laws.
Caelum has few true laws that are much denser and better than the law in this world but he opted to explore this world due to having the basics.
To become a spiritual god then that Spiritual god needed to have died before becoming the new Spiritual god of a specific law. For example, Yu yan who is a spiritual goddess of fire, needed to die first before being able to become the new Spiritual god of fire.
'The one who made it in this tiny world might have been in a higher realm.'
Moments later, the hunter finishes gathering the Demon meat before heading back to their shelter while Caelum follows behind. It didn't take that much time before they arrived in a small plot of land where humans were busily doing their living.
"Welcome to our Heavenly Fate Plateau, Savior."
The people noticed their arrival and quickly gathered a crowd seeing the tons of meat brought by their hunters. Then notice an extra following them who had foreign clothes and atmosphere instantly became curious.
"Amazing you've gathered this quality of meat unharmed!"
Caelum heard a young woman who had blonde hair and carefree atmosphere wearing a simple outfit. She had surprise and relieved face seeing the hunter arriving unharmed then notice him quickly approach caelum.
"Who are you? I have not seen a face like this before?"
The Heavenly Fate Plateau had a small population therefore it is easy to remember their faces and Caelum wore a different kind of outfit that was unique to theirs.
"Actually this young man saved our lives by killing the Demon beast in the blink of an eye."
Hearing his shout made them skeptic of the claim yet felt the aura around caelum causing them to shut up. Caelum found the attention entertaining as he was invited by the same young woman who was named Yun ling.
He sat down in their shop that provided porridge and with the new supply of meat allowed her to create more dishes making everyone overjoyed finally able to taste meat again.
