Three days passed.
After accumulation in the Information Hall, Yu Xuan understood the current situation better.
The level of the sect was divided into ten grades.
The same went on the level of the city.
The strongest one was undoubtedly the 1st-grade sects.
The Five Elements Sect was a 5th-grade sect, which was not high nor low.
As for the system, it was quite complex, the highest organization started from the empire to the dynasty, the kingdom, the state, the province, the city, the town, and the village.
The Five Elements Sect was located in Bright Moon City, which was a 5th-grade city.
The strongest experts in the Bright Moon City area were Path Seeking Cultivators.
There were eight characters in the entire Five Elements Sect. They were the Sect Master, the two vice Sect Masters, and the Five Great Elders.
Path Seeking Realm was the highest cultivation in a 5th-grade city area, they were the overlords who were covering the entire sky, and each of them could destroy this area without difficulty.
There was a statement that said,
The Path Seeking Cultivators were the overlords.
The Core Evolution Cultivators were the lords, representing the power of the overlords.
The Core Evolution Cultivators were the warriors, supporting the lords and overlords.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators were the future of the warriors.
The Body Refining Cultivators were the servants.
All in all, the Cultivation Realm in this area was divided into 5 majors realm:
The 1st-10stage Body Refining Realm.
The 1st-10stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
The 1st-10stage Core Formation Realm.
The 1st-10stage Core Evolution Realm.
The 1st-10stage Path Seeking Realm.
"Being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, I am nothing. If I were to die outside the sect, no one would give a sh1t to me." Yu Xuan knew how significant of him.
"Moreover, there is not only Five Elements Sect, being a 5th-grade sect alone in the Bright Moon City area, but there are another two 5th-grade sects at the left and right, below the 5th-grade sects are countless like a star in the sky." One would see a bigger picture by comparing, but Yu Xuan was shocked by the immeasurable of this world.
Bright Moon City area was comparable to the United Kingdom, with a 50 million population. However, it was just an average city in this world.
Bright Moon City was not an isolated city, it was bordered by four cities in each direction. Each border had different geography.
At the northern border, it was bordered by a Hundred Moutain Range.
At the eastern border, it was bordered by a Moon River.
At the southern border, it was bordered by an Unsure Mountain Range.
At the western border, it was bordered by Barren Land.
Yu Xuan's mission was to Unsure Mountain Range, which was the gathering place of all kinds of beasts. One could accomplish a mission there with the safest result.
Not only one could accomplish the mission here but one could also practice using the technique to be more proficient.
After Yu Xuan gathered enough information, he left the sect through the main gate and proceeded towards Unsure Mountain Range.
The Five Elements Sect was located in the middle part of Bright Moon City, whereas the Unsure Mountain Range was in the southern part. The distance between the Five Elements Sect and Unsure Mountain Range wasn't far. It had only taken Yu Xuan approximately five hours before he had trodden upon the Mountain Range. Luckily, he chose the safest way where many people were traveling, as a result, he didn't encounter unexpected situations.
"The outer area of the Mountain Range was full of people, if I want to complete the mission, I will have to find a suitable place."
Yu Xuan pondered for a moment before cautiously proceeding according to the information he learned.
The Unsure Mountain Range was the gathering place of the disciples of almost every sect in the Bright Moon City, this was the important reason why this place was the safest.
Not long after, a beautiful waterfall could be seen through the enormous trees before him.
The waterfall had a height of ten meters, and the water gushed down from a great height and crashed into the small lake of twenty meters in circumference.
"This place will do." Yu Xuan's eyes gleamed as he promptly surveyed the surroundings.
In the end, he didn't discover anything peculiar, so he looked for a place to stay.
After settling down, Yu Xuan left the waterfalls and proceeded toward the inner regions. The beasts had a survival instinct, with so many people in this area, all of the beasts hid inside inner regions, not willing to go out.
Roar!
An ear-piercing roar echoed from within the forest, causing the leaves of the surrounding trees to fall down. It was like rain in the form of leaves.
In front of Yu Xuan was a two-meter tall ferocious tiger with one eye. It glared at Yu Xuan as it emitted a cold and fiendish aura. The tiger retreated a few steps as though it was preparing to attack.
Yu Xuan's face turned solemn, he secretly prepared his technique and stood motionless.
The ferocious tiger before him was "a 1st-level beast, One-Eyed Tiger"; it was equivalent to a 3rd-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. If ones were to be bitten by its sharp teeth, then even if they were at the 3rd-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, they would still meet their end.
Each beast had its innate talent, this One-Eyed Tiger had a special eye, it could see enemies from very far.
Thus, Yu Xuan could not escape from its observation.
A human and a tiger, confronting each other at this place. The One-Eyed Tiger seemed to be able to sense the fluctuations of Yu Xuan's aura. After all, the aura of activating a technique could not be hidden.
Despite this, it still took a few steps back, contracting its body like a bow with no visible intention of engaging.
Yu Xuan's eyes gleamed. At this moment, his left foot took a step forward.
As the One-Eyed Tiger saw his movement, its killing intent immediately erupted and an angry hiss resounded. The One-Eyed Tiger performed an immensely powerful leap, its shadow pounced over and arrived above Yu Xuan within a blink of an eye. The beast opened its mouth, revealing its sharp and fierce teeth filled with a cold aura as it ruthlessly crunched toward Yu Xuan.
Yu Xuan's expression showed no trace of fear. Within this instant, his figure flickered and the Pure Knife-like shape in his right hand suddenly struck out. A thunderclap immediately erupted.
The Pure Knife flickered as though it were lightning and a "Puchi" sound was heard following this. The body of One-Eyed Tiger had actually been split in half as it was in mid-air by this tyrannical strike.
Fish Fin Technique, used primeval essence to form a sharp knife, a strike that caused death without a wound. This was a third combat technique that Yu Xuan picked from the Knowledge Source Hall.
"This Fin Fish Technique is indeed immensely powerful. I believe that this Fin Fish Technique is at the peak of the mortal-grade technique." As Yu Xuan glanced at this bloody scene, he didn't reveal any visible emotions. Instead, he felt incomparable excitement.
Having the Fin Fish Technique caused Yu Xuan to be confident enough to accomplish the mission.
"However, the current Fin Fish Technique is not enough. I still need to possess more and more useful techniques." Yu Xuan quickly calmed himself, he couldn't be arrogant now.
Just by killing a One-Eyed Tiger, he had used 20% of primeval essence up.
The Fin Fish Technique was indeed sharp, but the consumption was not small either, as a result, Yu Xuan had to be back to the waterfall once he killed four beasts.
Before leaving Yu Xuan didn't forget to wave his hands to lift the One-Eyed Tiger's corpse to his Space Ring.
A 1st-level beast's body contained the primeval essence, it couldn't be spoiled or smelly when it died for a year. Yu Xuan did not worry about this aspect.
...
Upon arriving at the waterfall area, it was already nightfall. Yu Xuan built a campfire to roast the beast's meat.
Yu Xuan did not have the ingredients, the taste was not awful, but eating the beast meat helped his cultivation a bit.
As for the water, Yu Xuan didn't need to drink it, he cultivated Water Path, and he was free from this shackle.
After finishing eating, Yu Xuan continued to cultivate with his last two earth-grade primeval essence stones before he rested in a camp.
The next day, after restoring his primeval essence, Yu Xuan began to go out hunting again.
As a 1st-level beast, they did not possess consciousness yet, Yu Xuan only needed to provoke them before striking a fatal blow.
In the following three days, Yu Xuan killed a total of 15 beasts. Among them, the most bitter battle was when he encountered a Black Ape on par with a 5th-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. The Black Ape was exceptionally fierce, and although Yu Xuan did emerge victorious, he was still severely injured.
However, Yu Xuan had still reaped a large harvest. His battle experience and controlling techniques had become increasingly powerful.
At this moment, Yu Xuan was cautiously darting through the forest, trying to avoid a group of people.
Although Yu Xuan had mostly recovered from the serious injury caused by the Black Ape, he still hadn't fully recovered. If he were to encounter a beast or a demonic Cultivator on par with the Black Ape, then he would be in an extremely dangerous situation.
His current priority was to search for some good herbs to completely recover. Finding good herbs would be beneficial to him in both healing and completing the mission.
As Yu Xuan was searching, his heart suddenly felt slightly shocked. He felt exceptionally strong the fluctuations aura wafting over from the distance.
"This fluctuations aura is quite strong, there should be something good there."
As Yu Xuan felt the fluctuations aura, his figure quickly darted in that direction. Not too long after, Yu Xuan was able to see a small white pond in the depths of the forest. White mist was emitted from the surface of the pond.
"This is…" Yu Xuan's expression changed, "Primeval Essence Pond?"
The so-called Primeval Essence Pond was formed when the primeval essence of the place accumulated. The Primeval Essence Pond in front of him had a circumference of two meters, it could not compare to a primeval essence stone, but it was better than normal cultivating.
Yu Xuan ran out of primeval essence stones, he had to spend 10 hours a day absorbing the natural primeval essence, but if he were cultivating in this Primeval Essence Pond, he would take five hours to accomplish that, although it was slower than absorbing primeval essence stone by four hours, it was enough for his current situation. Not finding good herbs, but finding a good place was acceptable.
"I never imagined that I'd actually encounter a Primeval Essence Pond. With this, I can fully recover as well as have enough for leftovers." Yu Xuan felt overjoyed. However, he didn't hurry to take a step forward yet.
"Calm down, calm down. I can find this place without difficulty is not sheer luck, that thing is uncertain. I can find this place, why can't others?" Yu Xuan calmed down quickly as he continued to ponder.
"What should I do if I encounter them? What if they were demonic people?" Just as he was pondering, suddenly two voices unexpectedly resounded from the forest in front of him.
"Kekeke, Big Brother, we catch another prey!"
"Kekeke, It is an injured prey at that."
"That's great! I can't wait to plunder him."
"Plunder? That's not enough. We must catch him back to a sect to become a slave. I happened to lack a good slave."
Following the two vicious voices, two figures emerged from the forest. As they appeared and were able to see Yu Xuan, their expression turned to one of delight.
