My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

The military emphasizes unity and cooperation, and the soldiers are all trained and honed together.

If you rashly put a group of people who have not been trained and worked together into the team.

That might not be helpful, and could even be a hindrance.

Therefore, these people must have been assigned to logistics.

Another example is the Zhao family's tradition of having disciples on the front lines when the beast tide arrives.

Those who cannot join a team to fight together are basically doomed when facing a beast tide.

The army can't just watch these people die.

We need to ensure that these people are on the front lines, but we also need to ensure that they are not going to their deaths.

The body-collecting team is one that meets the requirements.

After all, the war between humans and demons is not the same as the war in the previous life.

If a human dies in battle, they are usually eaten.

The same applies to monsters; living monsters devour dead monsters to recover themselves, which is perfectly normal.

Therefore, the old method of cleaning up the battlefield after a war is simply not feasible.

The soldiers who died in battle were all heroes of the human race, while the corpses of the monsters were all spoils of war for the human race.

That's why battlefield corpse-collecting teams came into being.

At the end of the You hour (5-7 PM), before the sun had completely set, a full moon eagerly appeared in the sky.

This is a sign that the beast tide is coming. The beast tide will begin once the sun has completely disappeared.

At this moment, a message came from Zhao Xuan's Star Token:

Mission Name: Battle of Jinyang City

Mission Objective: 1. Team Mission: Resist the monster siege for two months (100 million to 1 billion merit points).

2. Team mission: Eliminate the besieging monsters (1 billion to 100 billion merit points).

3. Personal mission: Eliminate the initiator of the beast tide (1 billion to 100 billion merit points).

4. Personal mission: Eliminate as many monsters as possible (merit points: zero to infinite).

5. Designated Individual Task: Collect the remains of fallen soldiers (10,000 merit points per body).

Task Description: Team mission merit rewards increase with the intensity and strength of the war. Upon completion of the mission, all participants will share the rewards according to their merits.

Additional notes: Team mission: Resisting the monster siege for two months will initially distribute a portion of the rewards to the mission participants. After the war ends, a second reward will be distributed based on the actual situation.

Zhao Xuan accepted the four tasks (1, 2, and 4) from the mission list, and the Star Order reported that his merit points had increased from zero to one thousand.

The supplementary explanation states that distributing rewards first is standard practice; this is how you earn money by risking your life.

If something goes wrong and someone dies during a mission, these merit points will be used to compensate their family.

Zhao Xuan didn't care where he was; he first activated the Star Order's traction and communication functions, which consumed two hundred merit points.

We're just waiting for the monsters to start their attack on the city.

When the full moon appeared, a layer of black light emerged from the city wall, covering an area of ​​three thousand feet on both sides of the city gate.

Within the black light, the figures of two divine beasts faintly appeared, namely the Bi'an and Xiezhi.

The reason for this is that the human race has far fewer fighting forces compared to the demon beasts, making it impossible for them to be dispersed to guard an area spanning thousands of kilometers.

The gap left behind is the route through which the monsters gather to attack.

Although the Bi'an and Xiezhi are manifestations of the formation, they are actually high-end combat forces. When building cities and setting up formations, powerful beings would take out the demon souls of Saint Realm demon saints, erase their wills, and integrate them into the formation to refine them into formation spirits.

To put it bluntly, the two array spirits in this formation alone are enough to withstand the attack of the beast tide.

However, the problem is that once the formation is activated, it will continuously consume resources, and its range is limited, so it will not be activated easily unless necessary.

This is currently only the lowest intensity formation, mainly using the divine might of the Demon Saint to intimidate demonic beasts, with very little energy consumption.

However, to truly unleash the power of the Holy Realm, the resources consumed would exceed the rewards.

As the sun completely set, a rumbling sound came from afar—the sound of thousands of demonic beasts running.

In no time at all, they arrived near Jinyang City, like a black tide.

Fortunately, the soldiers had already formed ranks and collided with the black tide.

Zhao Xuan was not worried at all about whether the army could withstand the attack or suffer any losses.

Humans have experienced countless beast tides and have long since figured out their patterns.

First, there was a war of attrition, which involved using low-level monsters to deplete the human race's resources and energy.

Then comes a protracted war, using prolonged harassment to exhaust the human race and cause them to make mistakes.

Finally, there's the high-level combat, which is basically beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Ultimately, there will be a final destruction, which has little to do with Zhao Xuan.

Why are the rewards for setting personal tasks so high? One corpse gives you 10,000 merit points.

It should be noted that the merit points for slaying demonic beasts are divided into twelve tiers, with each tier consisting of three levels across the four realms, and three tiers per realm.

Each tier is ten times the size of the previous tier.

For example, a ninth-grade Spirit Realm cultivator earns ten merit points, an eighth-grade cultivator earns twenty merit points, and a seventh-grade cultivator earns thirty merit points; this is the first tier.

The second tier is 100 merit points for the sixth rank of the Spirit Realm, 200 merit points for the fifth rank, and 300 merit points for the fourth rank.

Until the twelfth level, aiming for the upper third rank of the Divine Realm, the third rank of the Divine Realm requires 1 billion merit points, the second rank of the Divine Realm requires 10 billion merit points, and the first rank of the Divine Realm requires 100 billion merit points.

As for Saint-level Demon Saints, they are practically nonexistent on Earth. Apart from a very few exceptional ones, the rest have been driven into the starry sky by the human race.

To claim the corpse of a soldier is equivalent to one person killing a demon beast equivalent to a ninth-grade Grandmaster. What kind of good deal is that?

Because the soldiers aren't stupid; if they're too weak to fight or encounter an unbearable attack, they would have already activated their Star Orders to teleport themselves away.

Few actually died in battle.

Despite the ferocity of the beast tide, for a well-prepared city, it's actually a training exercise.

They would not force soldiers to fight to the death.

Those with ranged attack capabilities launched attacks on the beast tide from across the army, reaping the rewards.

Zhao Xuan also launched an attack on the beast tide from across the army.

Drops of water radiating purple light were launched by Zhao Xuan and landed on the lucky monsters.

The monsters attacked by the water droplets paused for a moment, then spun around like five flies, constantly breaking up the monsters' formation.

Then, in their confusion, they are either trampled to death by large monsters or killed by soldiers.

Deep within the earth, a sinister shadow, shrouded in purple light, was absorbing the blood flowing from the dead beasts.

This shadow is naturally the snake vine cultivated by Zhao Xuan.

As for the purple light and purple water droplets on the serpent's body, they have quite a background.

That was Starlight Divine Water that Zhao Xuan had condensed himself.

Starlight Divine Water can dissolve true spiritual consciousness, while Sunlight Divine Water can erode blood essence, bones and flesh, and Moonlight Divine Water can corrode the primordial spirit and soul. Together they are known as the Three Lights Divine Water.

The unity of the three lights is the first holy medicine for healing, capable of eliminating all poisons and overcoming all so-called "incurable" poisons.

However, Zhao Xuan's Starlight Divine Water was not yet of a high enough level to unleash its full power, but it could still seal the senses of these low-level demonic beasts.

Because the senses of those demonic beasts were sealed by the Starlight Divine Water, they were like blind and deaf people, which is why they wandered around like headless flies.

The snake vines were released by Zhao Xuan to collect the blood of demonic beasts, since the Source Blood Tree needs blood to bloom and bear fruit.

The purple light enveloping the serpent vine was also starlight transformed from the Starlight Divine Water, which could help the serpent vine avoid being discovered.

Because of his short seclusion, Zhao Xuan only managed to create Starlight Divine Water; he hasn't yet created Sunlight Divine Water or Moonlight Divine Water.

Here we must mention the advantages of bloodline.

Zhao Xuan's method of obtaining spiritual energy seeds was to find spiritual objects containing a certain kind of spiritual energy from the resources given to him by the Heavenly Stems Team, and then use the Golden Flower Spirit Transformation technique to continuously cleanse them.

It may not be noticeable once or twice, but if it happens repeatedly, it will trigger the spirit's essence and cause it to release some of its spiritual energy.

This wasn't because Zhao Xuan had grasped this spiritual energy, but simply because the spirit creatures were fed up with Zhao Xuan.

Most of them are easy to get. They can usually be obtained in a day.

The Three Qi of the Earth are extremely difficult to obtain. Zhao Xuan spent a full twelve days trying, using countless supernatural powers before finally succeeding.

But once a single thread is brushed off, brushing off a second thread becomes extremely difficult. After all, the spirit of a creature is not to be trifled with; it is its instinct not to perish and become a vassal.

However, there are three exceptions: spiritual objects containing wood spirit energy, spiritual objects containing water spirit energy, and the Ziwei Star Stone.

The first two are because Zhao Xuan himself comprehended two kinds of spiritual energy, which were compatible and his spiritual resistance was not strong.

And Ziwei Star Stone is something you get for free.

Because Zhao Xuan's surname is Zhao and he belongs to the royal bloodline, he was quickly selected and became his own power.

The Purple Star Stone has a very high spiritual level, and its spiritual energy belongs to the high-level spiritual energy. However, because of Zhao Xuan's royal bloodline, it still accepts being driven by Zhao Xuan.

Ordinary spiritual water naturally cannot withstand the spiritual energy of Ziwei, but Zhao Xuan also has a water-attribute treasure of similar level, One Yuan Heavy Water.

Zhao Xuan extracted the spiritual energy from the One Yuan Heavy Water and condensed it into spiritual water to carry the Ziwei spiritual energy.

The combination of the two creates the famous Starlight Divine Water.

This is why the Golden Flower Transformation can be viewed as a card with boundless supernatural powers.

Zhao Xuan continuously sprayed Starlight Divine Water, slowly enveloping the beast tide in a mist. All the demonic beasts within the mist began to wander aimlessly.

As for wear and tear, Zhao Xuan asked what that thing was.

As long as you have a spiritual object, you will consume the spiritual energy of that object.

The strange phenomena in the beast tide quickly attracted the attention of the high-ranking demon beasts. After a series of roars that resounded through the heavens and earth, the demon beasts in the mist lay down and did not move, while the other demon beasts also avoided the mist and moved forward.

Ignoring the situation, Zhao Xuan continued to pour Starlight Divine Water into the mist.

The water mist continued to condense, and just then a gust of wind swept in, sending the water mist flying into the sky and turning it into a rain cloud, from which purple water droplets fell continuously.

Zhao Xuan knew this was no coincidence, but rather that someone among the human race had noticed it and used their great supernatural powers to summon wind and rain, thus helping Zhao Xuan.

Hmm, it does seem a bit like trying to get a bargain.

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Xuan is also taking advantage of others.

The Starlight Divine Water was not of a high level and could not kill the demon beast directly. The soldiers killed it, and Zhao Xuan naturally received a share of the merit.

By daybreak, the beast tide had lost tens of thousands of monsters and temporarily retreated.
