Chapter 10: Giant Blue Armed Apes

3 days had passed since we traveled away from Glory City. This expedition was worthwhile since I got some new herbs that I store in my personal world and Chen Linjian also gave me a storage ring that has 10 meters square and has a dozen Holy Dark Grass inside it. I thanked Chen Linjian as I put the Holy Dark Grass inside my PW ( Personal World ).

As we walked, I sensed that the environment has gotten chilly all of a sudden and it seems that I am not the only one who sense it because Nie Li glanced in my direction and readied his crossbow.

*Boom* *Creak* *Roar*

A loud explosion erupted fifty meters away from us as multiple Giant Blue Armed Apes with a Spiritual Level with them and is reaching nearer to an emperor Level.

" A horde of Giant Blue Armed Apes!? Fuck! Assemble and escape this place. Xiangjun, you go with them while I try and hold them off or divert its attention to me " Chen Linjian got armed in an instant as he aim his crossbow at the Giant Apes.

" Wait! I will do the baiting since I am the only one who can hold those beasts longer than you. Even if you succeeded, they would eventually catch up to us. So, you need to lead them, and don't worry, I will catch up to you guys at the Orchid City. Now! Go and don't ever look back. Nie Li, I'll entrust them to you and protect them if you can. " Getting ready, Nie Li nodded as he ordered the expedition team to escape as I tried to hold them off.

" Come back in one piece, Xiangjun. We will be waiting for you! " Nie Li shouted as he escaped with the team.

" Thanks, Nie Li, you are a big help this time. Now, I should repopulate you guys but first, I will test my devouring ability. " As soon as I said that, A burst of Soul Force erupted around my body as a massive serpent was formed with just my Soul Force. I waved my hand as the Serpent with wings flew at a fast speed devouring the Giant Apes.

[ Devouring Ability has been used... 100% Giant Blue Armed Ape Bloodline, 42,069 Soul Force acquired, 69,420 Strength Force acquired, Giant Blue Armed Ape Soul Spirits... Host Ouroboros using Rebirth to the Giant Blue Armed Ape Soul Spirits... Mutated Giant Blue Armed Apes acquired. ]

From killing the Giant Blue Armed Apes, my DS ( Demon Spiritualist ) rank increases to 1 Star Black Gold Rank while my Fighter Rank increases to 2 Star Black Gold. With the massive boost of strength, the apes were frightened and tried to run away but to no avail. I stored them all in my PW as if nothing happens.

Seeing that the fight had finished, I looked at the memories of those Apes which I acquired when I used the Devouring Ability. I saw many types of Demon Beasts around the Vicinity, ranging from Black Bear, Fire Bear, Fanged Panda, Fire Wolves, Fox Bear, and many more.

I smirked evilly as I traveled towards the Demon Beasts' places and use my Devouring Ability to get all the bloodlines. I also stored them in my Personal World which has multiple continents and it seems to automatically place those Demon Beasts in their respective places that would be beneficial to them. Even my herbs were separated and has different continents each.

This means, my Personal World would create a new continent that is compatible with each of those beasts and herbs. Like, Fanged Panda. It was placed in a continent where Yang Energy was abundant and has many Herbs that could strengthen them. The Fox Bear was placed on a continent full of giant trees.

In just a single day of killing these demon beasts and throwing them into my personal world, I reached 4 Star Black Gold in Fighter and Demon Spiritualist Rank.

Because of my special body, I can advance anytime as long as I have a Demon Spirit I killed which is in thousands but only one of each species can stay as the others were used for nutrients to the stronger same species.

I looked up and see that it is getting dark. I run back to where I left off and see if they left a mark with them that can guide me. And they did, they left some marks as I followed it and minutes later, I saw a ruined City and a campfire near it. Shining brightly in the night. Jumping, I flew up to the sky with my wings unfolded and saw a beautiful night view, a silhouette of mountains, massive trees, the flowing river at the top of the mountains, and A vast Ocean that reflects the Moon Light.

I see all of it as I slowly float until I land on the ground. Dispersing my wings back. I slowly walked back to the camp and feel the restlessness. Worries radiate in this beautiful night and shouts reverberate in the silent forest.

" Guys, what are you shouting for? Are you that unsure that I won't survive? Tsk, you should put some trust in me and I am grateful that you all are worried about me but I come back now. This should be a joyous moment since we had finally arrived at the Orchid City " I said, trying to ease the tension. As for the Sacred Family members, they just don't care at all.

" Ah! Xiangjun! I am glad you're fine " Ning'er shouted in joy as she jump in my embrace and hugs me.

" Uhh... Fellow Classmate, Ning'er. You are doing something a little inappropriate, I don't mind but it seems that the others are a little bit scary... So, can you please get off me? " Upon hearing that, Ning'er blushed and run back to her tent. I looked at the guys and see them clicking their tongues and as for Nie Li, he gave a teasing look while smiling cheekily.

" Don't you dare continue what your planning or I will shove your ass to the ground. " Threatening him, Nie Li shuts up as he whistles. He looked and Ye Ziyun, striking up a conversation.

He glances at me and winks and lips talking. - You should learn from me, don't be so gay and man up -

Ticks appeared on my forehead as I furiously go to my tent which was prepared by someone I don't care about and will ever be.

" Fucking Bastard, he reminds me of Naruto except that he's openly teasing me. Wait and see, Nie Li. Your day will come and I will have my revenge on you. Hehe " Laughing, I formulate a plan that will make Nie Li beg for mercy in the future.

" Right, those grasses should be maturing enough or it might have been overload since it's 1,000x faster there. If I remember correctly, Purple Haze Grass has a maturity of three years and I put it in that world for 15 days if I remember correctly. Then, it should be 15,000 days there, or 41 years and 35 days. " I muttered as I teleported inside and see mountains upon mountains worth of Purple Haze Grass, which is a lot and can be weighed at 100 tons or more.

I also see a storage room at the top of the mountain and go inside to see more mountainous Purple Haze Grass. It seems that my personal world also had an automatic harvester which I like as I don't have to harvest it manually.

Going back to the real world, I finally slept after this long day.

Morning arrived and we continued our journey of finding the treasure as Chen Linjian showed me the map. I looked at him confusingly.

" I want you to decide where we should go " Chen Linjian said.

"Hmm, I don't know much about this place. Nie Li should know since he is a genius, he even knows those foreign languages that I don't know. So, he is the most suitable person for this job. " Chen Linjian nodded and goes to Nie Li, handing the map to him.

Nie Li didn't disappoint Chen Linjian as he pointed at the map where we should go next with some sensible speculation. The Expedition team then continued the journey to the training ground where the soldiers trained.

Arriving at the training ground, I sense powerful energy radiating near the training ground as I separated from the group sneakily. I followed the energy I felt as it gets stronger and stronger until I finally arrived and feel the energy underneath me.

Upon feeling the energy underneath, I punch the ground and an explosion occurred. Startling the group but I just shouted at them that it was nothing which they accepted and didn't pursue.

I looked at the giant hole I made a saw a coffin, emitting a powerful energy. The energy I felt drew me.

I jumped inside and landed. As I walked to the coffin, a huge burst of soul force erupted and pressured me but it did a little effect since I am a Black Gold Star 4 in both Fighter and Demon Spiritualist. Adding to the fact that I had the Chaos Body Strengthening Technique that makes my body durable with every kill I made.

Soon, I finally arrived at the coffin as the energy was gone in an instant. I opened it and see a paper that seems to be ripped from a book. I pick it up and see a language I didn't understand but my comprehension talent started to work and try to translate the language while my brain was being overloaded with millions of new letters.

When it finish translating, a sudden burst of energy comes out of the paper and pierce through my brain as my soul force was being strengthened further.

A loud chain break was heard inside his body as a Tree with an hourglass was present and in its roots, multiple demon beasts were used as some type of fertilizer for the tree.

While I was convulsing from the overload, multiple veins pops out of my body and eats all the skeletons, stones, jewelry, and everything inside this place. Minutes later, I was back to consciousness as my body strength felt anew while I now have a new power. The Law of Void and a piece of information from that paper. It was a piece of paper that was ripped off from the Temporal Demon Spirit Book and I can sense the book or papers if they are near me which is good.

[ Hidden Mission accomplished: Find at least one Temporal Demon Spirit Paper

Reward: Unlimited Storage Space, Chaos Soul Strengthening Technique ]

And here it goes, A mission has been completed and it's quite good. Even though I don't need the Soul Strengthening Technique but I do want the Unlimited Storage Space which I don't have since the system only stores the rewards he gave to the inventory. Also, I haven't even claimed my Shape-Shifting Weapon.

Upon remembering the lonely Weapon, I opened the reward and shape-shifted it to a katana and since it's part of a sword, I can use my Swordsmanship - Pinnacle V to use.
