At the entrance of the fort, Han Shuo handed over his divine tablet and fifty blue crystal coins. That person took Han Shuo's divine tablet and placed it inside a pentagram divine weapon. He nodded and returned the divine tablet to Han Shuo, indicating that he could enter the fort.
The divine tablet was the pass to travel on Elysium. Without the divine tablet, one would not be able to enter the fort. Other than the divine tablet, one would also need fifty blue crystal coins. Otherwise, one would not be able to enter the fort.
Han Shuo observed for a moment and discovered that there was an endless stream of people entering the fort. The weakest among them were demigods. The majority of them were basegods and lowgods. Midgods were a rare sight, and highgods of higher levels were nowhere to be seen.
Han Shuo followed those people into the fort. When he arrived at the entrance, he took a closer look and realized that he was in Fort Verka.
The first thing Han Shuo saw after entering Fort Verka was a row of divine guards wearing dark armor. Each and every one of them was vigilantly sizing up the newcomers. They were maintaining order in Fort Verka so as to prevent any conflict from happening at the entrance which would affect the smooth flow of the fort.
After listening attentively for a while, Han Shuo gradually understood that Fort Verka was managed by the House of Croton. The House of Croton was in charge of the fort's security and tax collection, as well as maintaining order in the fort.
Donna had once told Han Shuo that there were many family clans on Elysium. All kinds of forces could be found in every corner of the continent. Those family clans, big and small, controlled a lot of territory on Elysium for the Twelve Overgods. They swore loyalty and devotion to their Overgods.
Some ancient family clans possessed enormous strength and might even control one or several cities. There were also some family clans that were relatively weak and could only control a few forts or towns. For example, the House of Croton that controlled Fort Verka could only be considered as a third-rate family clan.
But when Han Shuo entered Fort Verka, he discovered that the fort was at least five times larger than Brettel City. However, it only had a population of a little over a thousand people. Demigods and basegods made up the majority of the population. There were less than three hundred true gods and only a dozen or so midgods.
Han Shuo was in no hurry to leave Fort Verka. He strolled along the streets and alleys of the fort to experience the true difference between Elysium and Profound Continent. Perhaps because there were no experts in Fort Verka that could pose a threat to him, Han Shuo boldly ordered Cauldron Spirit to release a few demon generals to fly around Fort Verka. Soon, he learned the situation in Fort Verka.
The situation in Fort Verka wasn't too different from some cities on Profound Continent. The fort was managed by the House of Croton. All residents were bound by the House and had to pay taxes every year. Correspondingly, the Croton Clan would ensure their safety and allow them to cultivate in peace.
After roaming around the fort with his mystical demons, Han Shuo discovered that the only difference was that everyone's main goal was to improve themselves through cultivation. Surveying every corner of Fort Verka, Han Shuo discovered that there were many shops of various sizes selling all kinds of low-grade divine weapons, as well as some rare materials used to refine divine weapons. There were also some divine scrolls that recorded some basic knowledge about the energy of various energies.
There were also many Divine Tempering Fields where gods could exchange cultivation insights and spar under the protection of the large-scale defensive boundaries in the Divine Tempering Fields in hopes of making breakthroughs.
When Han Shuo discovered that divine scrolls of various energies were being sold, he was immediately tempted. He immediately headed for the largest divine scroll shop.
Ever since he parted ways with Akley, Han Shuo's two avatars had been absorbing divine essences of death and destruction inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. The divine essence of death had devoured a portion of that godhunter's divine energy. After absorbing two more pieces of divine essence of death, Han Shuo had advanced to late-stage lowgod realm in one fell swoop.
This avatar of Han Shuo's had previously fused with the divine soul of a midgod and obtained all of that midgod's cultivation insights. With this advantage, when the divine energy in Han Shuo's body accumulated to a certain level, he could easily advance to late-stage lowgod realm.
Recently, that avatar of Han Shuo's had temporarily stopped absorbing divine essences. Instead, he continued to comprehend the essence of the energy of death and took the opportunity to try out some new offensive techniques that he had mastered.
As for his avatar of destruction, it was rather troublesome for Han Shuo. After absorbing the energy of the two pieces of divine essence of destruction, Han Shuo felt that the divine energy in his body had reached a critical point. Under such circumstances, Han Shuo had to gain a deeper understanding of the energy of destruction. Otherwise, no matter how many divine essences he absorbed, he wouldn't be able to advance to late-stage.
Unlike the one that cultivated in the energy of death, this avatar of Han Shuo's had no divine soul to comprehend. After becoming a god, every breakthrough to the next realm was a long and arduous process. It seemed that Han Shuo wouldn't be able to advance any further from his current realm just by relying on the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester and the edict of destruction that he learned from peeping.
During this period of time, Han Shuo had been worrying about this matter. When he arrived at Fort Verka and learned that divine scrolls were on sale, he was immediately tempted. He wanted to see if he could comprehend anything from those divine scrolls.
After walking into the divine scroll store, Han Shuo looked around and discovered that there were many scrolls on display. Most of them were suitable for demigods and basegods. There were dozens of scrolls describing the process of advancing from basegod to lowgod.
If any of the divine scrolls here were to end up on Profound Continent, Han Shuo believed that they would become the target of every magus and swordsman on Profound Continent. However, the prices of the divine scrolls were clearly marked. It seemed very common.
There were countless gods on Elysium. Some new gods who had just arrived from other continents would write down their experiences of becoming a god into scrolls and sell them to basegods and demigods who had yet to ascend to godhood in exchange for some crystal coins.
Therefore, such scrolls were plentiful on Elysium. Every person's steps and experiences of becoming a god were different. In addition, those who had memorized their experiences might not tell others about them. Therefore, those scrolls might not necessarily be of use.
From midgod onward, one would not have to worry about making a living on Elysium. Even if a midgod with nothing came to Elysium, there would be envoys sent by major family clans to recruit them. They wouldn't have to worry about crystal coins at all.
It was precisely because of this that the cultivation experiences of midgods were almost unpurchasable. Those midgods who lived a carefree life would not be willing to waste their energy to earn a small amount of crystal coins. Highgods were almost all powerhouses of a region. Therefore, it was even more impossible for them to do so. Other than their own descendants, they would never share their cultivation experiences with anyone else, not even their friends.
Han Shuo did not know if these cultivation experiences would really be useful to him. Therefore, he wanted to test it out first. When he arrived at the section where the energy of destruction was categorized, Han Shuo lowered his head to look at the scrolls below the boundary. He discovered that the prices ranged from three to ten purple crystal coins.
"Can I take a look first?" Then, he raised his head and asked a sweet-looking young lady who cultivated in the elemental energy of darkness. She only possessed basegod strength.
"I'm sorry, but divine scrolls are different from other products. The content recorded inside might only be a few sentences. If you take a look and memorize it without buying it, we will be at a disadvantage!" the young lady explained in a refined and courteous manner with a professional smile on her face.
"Alright then. Give me the three purple crystal coins scroll!" Han Shuo took out three purple crystal coins and handed them to the young lady with a smile.
"No problem!" The young lady took out a dark blue divine stone and shone it at the scroll. The divine scroll priced at three purple crystal coins flew out from the boundary and attached itself to the divine stone in her hand. "Here you go. Please keep it!" The young lady was in a good mood. She handed the scroll to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo opened the scroll, flipped through a few pages, and started reading it in front of the young lady. A few minutes later, Han Shuo was greatly disappointed.
The scroll contained the insights of a lowgod who had just stepped into the elemental energy of destruction. That person's strength was probably weaker than Han Shuo's. The scroll contained no substantial content and was of no help to Han Shuo at all. Three purple crystal coins were wasted just like that.
"Do you need any other scrolls? I believe the divine scroll priced at ten purple crystal coins would be more suitable for you. Do you need it? "the young lady asked Han Shuo with a beaming smile.
"Let me have a look!" Han Shuo had obtained more than a hundred purple crystal coins from killing Kaiser and Eriksson. He didn't particularly care about a few purple crystal coins. As he spoke, he took out another ten purple crystal coins and handed them to the young lady.
"Alright!" The young lady smiled sweetly. After accepting Han Shuo's purple crystal coins, she handed the divine scroll priced at ten purple crystal coins to Han Shuo and smilingly said, "The price is different, and so are the levels. Perhaps this one has what you need!"
"I hope so!" Han Shuo casually replied. He then unfolded the divine scroll and started reading it again.
"Huh?" Han Shuo softly exclaimed. This divine scroll similarly didn't contain any insights. However, it recorded a method of attack called the Orb of Destruction. It was a method to rapidly condense the divine energy in one's body into a sphere and revolve it within the Domain of Divinity in accordance with the edict of destruction.
The scroll described in detail the method to condense the Orb of Destruction. However, the description of how to revolve it within the Domain of Divinity in accordance with the edict of destruction was rather vague. Han Shuo must have deliberately concealed it. It appeared that the young man must have comprehended this method of attack by himself. He had no choice but to make scrolls to sell because he was in dire straits. However, he didn't want others to fully understand his method of attack. Therefore, he deliberately left it vague.
"This isn't bad!" Han Shuo nodded smilingly. He looked at the remaining scrolls within the boundary and was about to offer to take a look at the rest when the young lady suddenly smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I've kept a scroll of the edict of destruction for myself. I think you will be interested in it!"
