Lin Xiao pressed his palm down.
"# @) …"
A large flaming hand flew out and grabbed the black mask. With a clench of the hand, all the black beetles were burned to death.
At the same time, he waved his hand. Countless souls flew out and transformed into shadows that scattered in all directions like fireworks.
"Hmm?"
Julian suddenly stopped. The countless black shadows on the mirror scattered and lost track of him.
He quickly rushed to the dead beetles but could not see anything. He could not capture their aura.
"You can't run!"
He snorted and threw another bead into the mirror. Soon, a woman wearing a mask appeared. She turned to look at Julian and asked, "What do you think?
"What's the matter?"
Julien said respectfully, "I'm sorry.
"I want to pay one contribution point and request a mission."
"Is it about that human descender?"
"Yes."
The woman's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
"It's not easy to get contribution points. You've only accumulated four points after descending for so many years. Are you sure you want to use one for a human descender?"
Julian nodded seriously.
"I'm willing to pay one contribution point. If any of my companions can help me capture him alive, I'm willing to pay two contribution points."
"Two contribution points. I believe a Level-3 Great Wizard will be willing to help. Recently, a Level-3 Great Wizard happened to pass by that wasteland looking for a material. I'll send your mission to him, but I can't guarantee if he'll accept it."
"Oh, right. He has a magic device with the ability to control souls. It's very powerful!"
"I'll record it."
The mirror returned to its original state. Soon, a mission interface appeared. The first one on it was Julian's mission. He clicked on it and saw several messages. Most of them asked about the specific situation. He thought about it and replied to them one by one.
On the other hand, Lin Xiao did not know that in order to hunt him down, Julian had used up his contribution points to post a bounty mission on a network owned by his organization.
This thing came from the limited network that one of the Progenitors that Julian served had opened up through his authority in the Sorcerer World. All Descenders of the Divine Realm who were hired by the Progenitors of the True Nether Progenitors could connect to this network. They could even connect to each other by spending enough contribution points to communicate across worlds.
Julian didn't hesitate to use up half of the four contribution points he had accumulated since arriving here. Of course, it wasn't just to vent his anger. There was a deeper reason, and that was the great benefits Lin Xiao could bring him.
Back then, he had borrowed Zhen Ming Primogenitor's power to escape. Later on, he had returned. However, Lin Xiao had already disappeared. At first, he thought that Lin Xiao was dead. Thus, this matter was left unsettled.
He was not the one who had issued the arrest warrant, but the sect.
He didn't tell anyone whether Lin Xiao was dead or alive. His excuse to the academy was that he had defected and gone missing. Naturally, he was wanted by the academy.
However, three years later, Lin Xiao suddenly appeared. He was extremely surprised. How could an apprentice Magus escape from such a terrifying heavenly might?
Then, he was sure that there must be some external interference. The only problem nearby was the Uncanny Valley.
To be precise, it was called the Uncanny Realm. Strictly speaking, this Uncanny Valley was just a projection of the real Uncanny Realm. It existed in many places in many worlds. Even in this world, there were several Uncanny Valleys.
Julian inquired about the situation in the Uncanny Valley. Through his authority, he inquired about the academy's information. He also inquired about the information of other forces through the organization's channels. He learned about the existence of the Lord of the Uncanny Realm and the Uncanny Apostle.
At first, he wasn't very sure. However, the information he collected showed that the high-grade materials Lin Xiao had been selling for the past few years belonged to the Scorpion Giant, who was good at imprisoning souls. He also saw Lin Xiao displaying the ability to imprison souls in front of him with his own eyes. He was sure that this human child of the divine realm had been lucky enough to obtain the power bestowed by the Lord of the Uncanny Realm. He had become a strange apostle with the ability to imprison and devour souls.
According to the limited information, the Soul Messengers could imprison souls, devour souls, and use the powerful soul energy to strengthen themselves.
According to historical records, every Soul Messenger was a Rank 4 or above Rank 4 Sorcerer. Although every one of them would devour a large number of souls and cause their souls to be polluted, they were still feared and desired by many Sorcerers.
If others had them, they would be afraid. However, if they had the chance to obtain them, they would also desire them.
The corruption of a soul was very scary, but it was even scarier without power.
Moreover, the corruption of a soul was not a big deal to them. If they really couldn't hold on, they could spend a lot of contribution points to ask a powerhouse to purify them. In other words, if they accumulated enough contribution points, they could ask Zenming Ancestor to purify them. At that time, they would be a good man again.
Therefore, when Julian confirmed that Lin Xiao was a newly born Soul Messenger, he had the idea of seizing the identity of the Uncanny Realm's Apostle.
In fact, if he wasn't afraid of being suspected, he would be willing to spend all his contribution points to ask a powerhouse from the organization to do it.
In order to keep this a secret, he even said that the human descender had a magic weapon that could use soul energy to avoid being suspected by the powerhouse.
After doing all this, Julian still felt that it was not very safe. After thinking about it, he once again posted a message on the communication channel, offering a high price of one contribution point and ten thousand magic stones to purchase a top-grade magic weapon.
On the other hand, Lin Xiao obviously did not know how much Julian had paid to deal with him. If he had known, he would have run away immediately instead of re-entering the depths of the wasteland.
He would not have continued to exterminate the half-scorpion people. Most of the small tribes of half-scorpion people in the wasteland had been wiped out by him. Most of the remaining half-scorpion people had escaped or retreated to the large tribes. These large tribes of half-scorpion people had powerhouses comparable to official Magi, and there was no lack of half-scorpion people who were comparable to rank 2 Magi. Not only were they not easy to kill, but the giant scorpion people summoned by the large tribes were also very powerful.
The strongest one he had seen before was a two-headed giant scorpion that was comparable to rank 3. If he went to those large tribes, it was entirely possible to summon a giant scorpion that was comparable to rank 4. If he really encountered such a powerful existence, he might not even be able to escape.
Perhaps there were still some half-scorpion people tribes in the wasteland, but he did not have the time to look for them one by one. Rather than that, he might as well go to the ancient battlefield in the middle of the wasteland and look for those powerful monsters.
The soul of a powerful monster could replace a bunch of ordinary souls, so killing a few more would not be bad.
At this time, Lin Xiao had accumulated more than two hundred and seventy thousand souls, which was enough to satisfy the transaction with the master of the Cunning World.
He was prepared to complete the transaction in a few years and then give up on the contract with the master of the Cunning World. It was too dangerous and evil to control and devour souls. Although the benefits were great, he was not like the natives who often had various bottlenecks in his realm. He had a whole set of ways to grow, so there was no need for him to use such a dangerous power.
The center of the ancient battlefield in the wasteland was obviously different from the rest of the wasteland. The space here began to distort, and from afar, the scenery was illusory and unclear like a mirage.
In fact, what he saw here was indeed like a mirage. He saw a tree about a hundred meters in front of him, but in reality, it might be a few hundred meters away or even not in that direction at all. It was just a reflection of the distortion of space.
There were very few monsters in this area, but if there were, they would be extremely powerful. After all, ordinary creatures could not pass through the broken space cracks to come here.
In other words, theoretically, one could go to other worlds through the space cracks here. There had been Magi who had done so before.
As for whether it really led to other worlds, this was not certain because no one had ever seen anyone go in and come back.
Perhaps they died in the space cracks, or there was no way out after entering.
After Lin Xiao entered this distorted ancient battlefield, he consciously circled around the edge, not daring to enter the central area. He killed an unknown monster with long thorns on the edge of the area and occupied its nest. He sealed the entrance of the cave and set up a layer of enchantment, using this place as a temporary residence.
While hunting, he used the dissipated soul force to stimulate his mental strength, keeping his mental strength and magic power active. This way, he could maximize his mental strength.
He had been doing this for the past few years whenever he was free, which was why he could raise his mental strength to the Crystal Phase in just a few years.
Now that his mental strength was close to the limit of a level-1 Magus, the next step was to promote to a level-2 Magus.
However, he did not have the promotion method of an orthodox Magus. Back then, he was just an apprentice Magus and did not have the chance to obtain the method to promote to a level-2 Magus. Neither orthodox Magi nor Bloodline Magi had the opportunity to promote to a level-2 Magus.
However, this did not mean that he could not increase his strength. Other than the orthodox Magi, there were countless other power systems in this world. Many foreign races did not have the orthodox Magi system, but they could still produce strong people.
The simplest way was the Soul Apostle's promotion method, which was to strip the consciousness of a large number of souls and use a secret method to fuse them into a powerful, unconscious soul body. Then, one's own soul would be integrated into this powerful soul body as the main consciousness, causing a qualitative leap in the soul. Once promoted, one would be as strong as a level-3 Magus.
In fact, this job system was called Soul Apostle. Most of the Soul Apostles that outsiders called Soul Apostles were Apostles who walked on this path. Lin Xiao, who had more than 200,000 souls in his hands, was the only one who had not devoured any of them.
Other than that, Lin Xiao also knew of a common promotion method, which was to directly increase one's mental strength on the basis of one's current mental strength core. It was not like the orthodox Magi who opened up a second mental strength core.
Strictly speaking, this promotion method was not much different from the orthodox Magi's promotion method. After the transformation, the benefits were the same. However, there was a huge problem with this promotion method, which was that one could not obtain a second innate spell.
This was because the promotion method was directly based on one's mental strength core and not condensing a second mental strength core. Naturally, one would not need to construct a spell model, and thus, there would be no new innate spell.
Although one could strengthen one's innate spell, there was only one innate spell. There was a limit to how much it could be used. How could it compare to the several innate spells of an orthodox Magus?
However, Lin Xiao had no other choice. If he did not want to promote to a Soul Apostle, then he could only use this method.
