Chapter 94

After finally managing to return alive from the world of *Slayers*, Xunxin immediately collapsed on the teleportation platform, tears streaming down his face. The Heavy Break Slash, a move powered by the strength of the Golden King of Nightmare, which was roughly equivalent to the power of seventeen hearts, was just a casual strike for the Golden King of Nightmare, but for Xunxin, who was only at the level of eleven hearts, it was truly a nightmare. Xunxin was almost reduced to ashes by the Heavy Break Slash. After barely waking up, he was also extorted by a terrifying witch named Lina Inverse.

Although Xunxin was not afraid of the notorious mage whose name was known throughout the world, he was afraid of her magic that could borrow the power of the Golden King of Nightmare. Coincidentally, Lina's partner, Gourry, was in need of a weapon that could rival the Sword of Light. Xunxin had no choice but to take out a C-rank Noble Phantasm from the Treasury of the King to thank Lina for her so-called 'act of saving his life'. Unexpectedly, when Lina saw Xunxin take out a weapon that could rival the Sword of Light, she did not show any sign of regret, but instead determined that Xunxin had even better weapons in his possession. She then circled around the injured Xunxin, chanting the spell for the God Destroyer to intimidate him. It should be noted that the power of the God Destroyer also came from the Golden King of Nightmare, and at such a close distance, Xunxin would definitely not be able to dodge it. With no other choice, Xunxin had to bleed heavily, handing over the A-rank Noble Phantasm Durandal to Lina to escape. Immediately after, Xunxin chose to return to the Infinite Heart. The Lina standing beside him, who was staring at him with the eyes of a tycoon, was truly terrifying, as if she was stripping Xunxin bare with her gaze. Xunxin did not want to experience this again.

Perhaps Xunxin should seek compensation from the Infinite Heart. Being directly thrown in front of the Red-Eyed Demon King Shabranigdo, Xunxin was attracted by the demon king's massive size and overwhelming magical power, and did not notice Lina and the others who were over a thousand meters away. When the Heavy Break Slash came, Xunxin wanted to cry; he did not have time to dodge and could only retreat at the highest speed while using the demon king as a meat shield. In the end, he was still knocked unconscious by the impact of the Heavy Break Slash. Indeed, the teleportation of the Infinite Heart was truly a trap...

In any case, Xunxin returned to the Infinite Heart in a rather embarrassed manner. The time that passed in the Infinite Heart was the same as the time that passed in the *Slayers* world. After asking the Infinite Heart, Xunxin learned that the time flow in the personal Infinite Heart space was connected to the world where the contract holder was located. This was one of the reasons why the Infinite Heart could pull the contract holder back at any time, due to the consistency of the timeline. Xunxin then decided where to use the remaining Heart Coins. On the battleship, Xunxin spent a total of 2000 Heart Coins, using 500 Heart Coins to upgrade the False Treasury of the King to the true Treasury of the King, and at the same time, the Noble Phantasms in the Treasury of the King that were completely destroyed by Xunxin were also repaired. The remaining 1025 Heart Coins were used to enhance Yaoyue, Chilian, and Wushuang Long. Then, Xunxin walked to the third teleportation platform and opened the list of bounty tasks.

Xunxin: "It seems all the tasks are about eliminating various types of Annihilation Bodies... But there are indeed all kinds of worlds."

World — Intermediate Cultivation World PIW—FKJ65535—00203

Target: One nine-heart-level Material Annihilation Body.

Note: A resistance group against the Material Annihilation Body has already formed in this world. Please be careful not to be misunderstood and attacked by the group.

Reward: 40 Heart Coins.

"Then, I'll choose this cultivation world. For my first bounty task, a relatively easy one would be better."

This time, before leaving, Xunxin made full preparations. He chose his own landing point, definitely not the landing point automatically selected by the Infinite Heart. Xunxin had learned from being tricked multiple times. He chose a landing point in a spirit grass field filled with spiritual energy, which should be fine... probably.

"Task — 'Eliminate the Intermediate Cultivation World Material Annihilation Body', World — Intermediate Cultivation World PIW—FKJ65535—00203, Teleportation countdown, 3, 2, 1, Teleport..."

Intermediate Cultivation World PIW—FKJ65535—00203, known as the Miao Yuan World, is a world where cultivators can reach the Great Ascension stage. The levels in this world are — Qi Condensation Stage (two hearts), Foundation Establishment Stage (three hearts), Golden Core Stage (five hearts), Nascent Soul Stage (six hearts), Spirit Transformation Stage (seven hearts), Tribulation Transcendence Stage (eight hearts), and Great Ascension Stage (nine hearts). When a cultivator reaches the peak of the nine-heart level, they can attempt to transcend the heavenly tribulation and become a tenth-heart-level immortal, ascending to a higher cultivation realm, which is the Advanced Cultivation World. In this world, a blessed land known as the Luo Shen Immortal Source welcomed a contract holder from the Infinite Heart who descended from the sky.

Slowly descending from the sky filled with spiritual energy, Xunxin deeply breathed in the spiritual energy that permeated the world.

"No wonder the novels I've read always mention that in the cultivation world, the weak can strengthen their bodies and the strong can manipulate large amounts of spiritual energy to split mountains and part seas. The improvement and nourishment of the body by spiritual energy are indeed different from the magic in the magic world. The power may be slightly weaker, but it focuses on health and longevity. Famous mages rarely live beyond 200 years, while Golden Core Stage cultivators can live for 200 years. Cultivators may grow more slowly in strength, but they live longer, and the chances of encountering fortuitous events are much higher than in the magic world."

"Indeed, the herbs on the ground can be felt to contain considerable energy. Such a place should be rare in the cultivation world. The ground is covered with precious herbs, and spiritual beasts stroll leisurely, with the density of spiritual energy astonishingly high."

"…This place, could it be someone's territory…?" Xunxin suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Who is in the air? What business do you have in the Luo Shen Sect's herb fields? Are you here to steal the spiritual herbs?" Not far from Xunxin, two people wearing green robes, each carrying a long sword that could be compared to an E-rank Noble Phantasm, shouted at Xunxin. Xunxin and Yaoyue could only land helplessly and prepare to explain to the so-called Luo Shen Sect...
