Lu Ye didn’t leave the Vault of Providence in a hurry. He purchased some fresh meat and connected his Divine Soul to the Hall of Battle Points.
There was something he had to purchase just in case he needed it in the future.
Seeing him, the Flood Dragons on the ancient door immediately came back to life. The Silver Flood Dragon on the right was exultant. “Brat, have you brought any food with you?”
Although the Golden Flood Dragon on the left was silent, its lifted head showed how eager it was.
They could endure boredom for countless years, but once they got a taste of something interesting, they were in a different state of mind.
They could withstand endless darkness and desolation only if they had never seen light before.
Lu Ye put on a smile and tossed the fresh meat he had purchased at the two Flood Dragons.
As usual, the Silver Flood Dragon ate its food and said joyfully, “It’s delicious! I’m on cloud nine!”
There was no doubt the Golden Flood Dragon was more reserved, but it was now pigging out on the food as well.
They finished everything in a short time. The Silver Flood Dragon looked longingly at Lu Ye. It was apparent that it still wanted more.
Naturally, Lu Ye had none left. The food he had purchased from the Vault of Providence was expensive. He had paid around 20,000 Contribution points for the meat of Master-class Spirit Beasts. Although he didn’t lack Contribution points, he couldn’t buy a lot of meat at once.
After staring at Lu Ye for a moment, the Silver Flood Dragon realised he wasn’t going to give them more food. Suddenly discovering something strange, it exclaimed and extended its long figure from the door before coiling around Lu Ye. Its huge head hovered in front of Lu Ye as its pupils reflected the man’s figure. Suddenly, it started guffawing. “Look, Big Brother. This brat has a Divine Ego!”
The Golden Flood Dragon narrowed its eyes. After some observation, it appeared surprised as well. “You’re right.”
Lu Ye was astounded, wondering how they even found out about it. [Who are they?]
His being in this space was merely a projection of his soul as his body was still in the Sanctum of Providence.
The two Flood Dragons weren’t supposed to find out anything. Even if Lu Ye was standing in front of a Divine Ocean Realm Master, the other party wouldn’t discover he had a Divine Ego as long as he never activated it.
However, the two Flood Dragons could see through his secret even though he was only a projection. That was inconceivable.
“Brat, you’re only a Real Lake Realm Master. How did you nurture a Soul Body and develop a Divine Ego?” The Golden Flood Dragon appeared puzzled. They had been around for eternity, but they had never seen something as strange as this. Naturally, their curiosity was piqued.
“It’s due to some luck and opportunities.” Lu Ye had no intention of explaining it to them. It was pointless to do so. Although he had no idea why the two Flood Dragons had to guard the Hall of Battle Points, he could tell that they never liked this job through his interaction with them. They seemed to have been confined to the door by a mysterious force. As such, they couldn’t leave this place.
In that case, it wouldn’t matter much even though they could see that Lu Ye had a Divine Ego.
“Well, can I go in now?” Lu Ye asked.
The Golden Flood Dragon stared fixedly at Lu Ye for a while before letting out an eerie laugh. “You’re such a strange brat.”
With that, the two Flood Dragons retracted their bodies. On the door, their figures swirled around and turned into concentric circles.
As a creak sounded, the door to the Hall of Battle Points opened.
Lu Ye stepped into it and easily found the item he was looking for. He spent 18,000 battle points to purchase a Thousand Demon Ridge’s Battlefield Imprint.
A red light flashed across his eyes as he felt the heat on the back of his hand.
A Battlefield Imprint purchased from the Hall of Battle Points wasn’t permanent. It was a single-use item. Lu Ye already knew it when he purchased the item for the first time.
Moreover, it could only last for about two hours.
In other words, once the Thousand Demon Ridge’s Battlefield Imprint, which was hidden on the back of his hand, was activated, it would only last for two hours before dissipating.
Therefore, Lu Ye had taken a huge risk to follow Ying Wuji to Lone Cloud City Pass back then. If anybody wanted to verify his identity at that time, he would be exposed.
However, he speculated that those from Lone Cloud City Pass wouldn’t do that, which was why he made such a bold decision.
After all, he arrived in the city with Ying Wuji, so those from Thousand Demon Ridge subconsciously thought that he was on their side. Moreover, the Fire Spirit Race members were about to attack the city at that time, so no one had time to verify his identity.
Since his previous Thousand Demon Ridge’s Battlefield Imprint was gone, he had to buy a new one in case he needed it in the future.
Following this incident, Lu Ye felt that it was a wonderful item. It could be used to fool his enemies and get him out of danger.
Take this time as an example. Without the Thousand Demon Ridge’s Battlefield Imprint, he would’ve gotten into a conflict with Ying Wuji and the others and killed them all.
He took a look at his Battlefield Imprint and realised he still had 88,410 battle points.
Compared with the last time he checked, his battle points had increased instead.
After giving it some thought, Lu Ye reckoned that he had acquired some battle points by killing Fire Spirit Race members previously. He must’ve gotten his salary as the patroller as well.
Previously, he felt that it was pointless to have so many job titles, but now, it seemed that they were useful.
He had two jobs which required him to protect the Pass and patrol the surrounding area. That way, he could get two monthly salaries, and each would give him 20,000 battle points.
It meant that in Blue Flame Mountain Pass, even if he only went out to patrol the area without doing anything else, he could still easily get 40,000 battle points every month. He had no idea where else he could get such wonderful jobs.
It was no wonder so many cultivators loved to join the Zhou Watches and head to the frontlines where the two sides clashed.
Yi Yi had a job as well, though she didn’t have a military title. Being a Chief Walker was a special role. Lu Ye wondered how many battle points she would get monthly.
With over 80,000 battle points, he could purchase several Golden Amulets. After giving it some thought, he decided against the idea.
He needed to accumulate more battle points to purchase a treasure.
Following a setback because of Wan Zhanggang, he had a first-hand experience of the difference between a Divine Ocean Realm Master and him.
In the future, he would inevitably come into contact with more Divine Ocean Realm Masters. Although he had his Divine Pool and Divine Ego now, they came to him by chance as his Divine Soul was severely injured. There was a huge gap in power between Divine Ocean Realm Masters and him.
He had to ponder how he could better protect his Divine Soul in front of Divine Ocean Realm Masters.
Nian Yuexian had given him a golden lock, which had some protection against Soul Attacks. Lu Ye had no idea how useful it was. Since he hadn’t tried it before, he didn’t know how powerful it was. However, he couldn’t leave his fate to the golden lock.
Fortunately, there were all sorts of treasures in the Hall of Battle Points, which included items that could protect Divine Souls. They even had a special name, which was Soul Artifact.
