Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

The two chatted a few words casually, and only then did Chen Jie show a serious look, saying to him, ”Lin Tayu Realm General, if I’m not mistaken, you should also be a Second Transition Asura Body, is Mang Liang also a Second Transition Asura Body?”

”Yes, indeed. After devouring the Evil Essence, I am now a Second Transition Asura Body.” Lin Mo nodded without hiding it.

He could sense the fluctuation of Evil Essence on Chen Jie, naturally the other could also sense the fluctuation of Evil Essence in his body.

Chen Jie nodded and said, ”You are now a Second Transition Asura Body, same as me, and should now be ranked on the Asura List.”

”Asura List?” Lin Mo showed a look of surprise.

”Oh, you don’t know about the Asura List?” Chen Jie said.

Lin Mo shook his head, ”I truly don’t know the mystery within.”

Chen Jie said, ”Okay, since you are also a member of our Star Sky Alliance, and now a figure on the Asura List, I’ll tell you the secret within.”

The two sat on a stone chair, and only then did Chen Jie slowly begin to explain. ”You also know the inheritance in the Asura Tower, but do you know where the Evil Essence comes from?” Chen Jie said unhurriedly, ”The killing aura and hostility, as well as the Blood Evil Qi generated from the slaughter in the Asura Battlefield, are all devoured by the Asura Tower. After devouring this Blood Evil Qi, the Asura Tower generates Blood Evil Essence Pearls and randomly casts them throughout the Asura Battlefield, allowing cultivators to fight over them.”

Lin Mo nodded. He had guessed this much himself, but now it was confirmed by Chen Jie. ”Many strong ones, their honor points can already let them leave the Asura Battlefield, but they always stay here for the Asura Tower’s inheritance. Once they merge ten Evil Essences, both body and heart realm can resist the erosion of the Blood Evil Qi, and they become a First Transition Asura, at which point the Asura Tower will record their names, allowing them to become a figure on the Asura List. There are fifty-two Asura Towers in the Asura Battlefield. Now, only twenty-nine remain. The figures on the Asura List have gathered together, waiting for the Asura Tower to open. Lin Tanyu Realm General, you are a member of the Star Sky Alliance, also among us. When we return to the main force, I’ll take you to the Asura Tower.”

”Alright, thank you, Captain Chen Jie.” Lin Mo was delighted at the words.

He had indeed devoured the Evil Essence for the Asura Inheritance, and was worried about news regarding the Asura Tower’s inheritance, not expecting Chen Jie to solve this issue directly. However, he also learned of the Asura List, that those able to get on the Asura List are Asura Bodies, renowned strong ones in the Asura Battlefield. But there are only twenty-nine Inheritance Towers, and there are also Demon Clan Generals and Barbarian Demon Generals with Asura Bodies, so the fight should be even more fierce.

Getting the Asura Inheritance is indeed not easy.

Chen Jie nodded and smiled, ”Alright then, you can follow me to the Asura Tower, but your Asura Order?”

Lin Mo’s Asura Order is a Five-star Asura; only Nine-star Asuras can enter the Asura Tower for the inheritance trial.

”Captain Chen Jie, no need to worry about that. Someone has promised me I would have enough points before the Asura Tower opens,” Lin Mo said with a calm smile.

”That’s good then, no need to worry about anything else,” Chen Jie said with a smile.

”But are we going directly near the Asura Tower without searching for more Evil Essence?” Lin Mo frowned.

Evil Essence is a precious thing and an important resource for enhancing the Asura Body.

Chen Jie laughed heartily, ”You must understand that while devouring Evil Essence is good for the body, it also comes with the risk of Blood Evil Qi erosion. It’s not that the more Evil Essence, the better; it needs a body and heart realm that can withstand it.”

Lin Mo knew this well. He had seen with his own eyes Mang Liang being eroded by Blood Evil Qi, turning into a beast that lost its intellect and only knows slaughter.

”Some people can’t devour Evil Essence at all, so they trade or auction it off... With regard to Evil Essence, Lin Tayu Realm General, you don’t need to worry. As long as you have enough treasures, you can exchange for it,” Chen Jie explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo realized.

The Asura Battlefield is so vast; there are many Demon Clan Generals and Barbarian Demon Generals who can also obtain Evil Essence. There can be Unusable Evil Essence or excess used for treasure exchange and auctions, a point Lin Mo had forgotten.

”Good, then there really is no problem,” Lin Mo said with a hearty laugh.

Over the years of experience, he collected much treasure, surely enough to exchange for Evil Essence.

”Okay, prepare yourself and let’s set off. There’s still half a year before the Asura Tower Inheritance opens, and our star journey will take two to three months. By then, enough time will have passed,” Chen Jie said.

Lin Mo nodded, then left the main cabin. Meng Yu, Golden Rat, and Dong Zi heard Lin Mo was going to contend for the Asura Tower Inheritance and showed great interest, deciding to go together. As for the honor points matter, perhaps opportunities to exchange for an Asura Order would present themselves when they get there. The three had gathered quite a number of Fire Essences, enough for their own cultivation, and the rest could be used for exchange.

The star journey began!

During it, Meng Yu and Dong Zi were able to enjoy each other’s company, no longer constantly on edge or facing danger every day. Golden Rat often came to drink and chat with Lin Mo, sharing amusing stories of his homeland, which Lin Mo enjoyed hearing. It was due to the spirit of Golden Rat, Meng Yu, and others during this journey that Lin Mo could comprehend ’Autumn Troops Assembly.’

Lin Mo escorted away the merry Golden Rat, smiling and shaking his head, and returned to the quiet room.

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion in the quiet room, with several wooden stakes around, a material called ’Water Cloud Stone’ was lit on them, releasing a fragrance that calms and maintains peace of mind.

Normally, when meditating for cultivation, lighting this incense has the effect of preventing Demonic Transformation.

However, Lin Mo did not practice, merely sat quietly on the cushion, recalling Zen and Taoist classics, allowing his heart and mind to become tranquil.

Although Earth is an End of Dharma Planet, even before Spiritual Energy was abundant, it might not compare in the cosmos to Golden Rat’s home planet.

Yet miraculously, Earth once had a brilliant history, with a hundred schools of thought contending, a hundred flowers blooming, and Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism stood out among them.

Lin Mo comprehended Zen and Taoist classics to cultivate his character and understand the heart realm.

”Interesting, these things are really interesting.” A faint voice rose, breaking the silence of the quiet room.

Lin Mo opened his eyes to see a white cloud suspended in the quiet room, and atop it lay the Dongling World Lord, dressed in immaculate white, holding a wine pot in one hand and a Taoist classic ’Tao Te Ching’ in the other.

Among Zen classics, Lin Mo still preferred the carefree aura of Taoism’s ’Immortal Body,’ ’Riding a Crane to Yangzhou with Three Thousand Silver Coins,’ over the emptiness of ’The Four Great Empties’ or ’Flowering on the Other Side,’ self-aware that he wasn’t on that path. ”Boy, was this book really written by someone from your homeland?” The Dongling World Lord looked at Lin Mo and said, ”Such a realm has reached that of a Saint.”
