Chapter 458: Chapter 262: Tao En’s Revenge

After all, Zhong Yi had many ways to earn Divine Origin Value right now and didn’t need to resort to selling a resource like the Heart of the Secret Realm.

Not only would Zhong Yi not sell the Heart of the Secret Realm, but he actually planned to use his Divine Origin Value to stock up on a few Hearts of the Secret Realm of various common and rare attributes, just in case.

The last thing Zhong Yi checked was the Secret Realm Creature obtained by reaching a 95% Secret Realm Exploration Level in the World Secret Realm.

This Secret Realm Creature was called the Carpet-eating Ladybug, a very special production-type Giant Beast.

It fed on Fungal Mats, and after consuming them, it could secrete an oily substance with a strong, foul odor.

Although the oily substance stank, when consumed by an Insect Guardian Beast, it allowed them to quickly recover their Energy.

Zhong Yi carefully placed the Carpet-eating Ladybug into his Storage Pouch.

Zhong Yi planned to give this Carpet-eating Ladybug to Zhao Kai to raise.

In the future, they could collect the Insect Oil it produced and have Zhong Ling carry it with her.

This would give Zhong Ling’s Butterfly Swarm a completely new supply channel.

With the Insect Oil as a supplement, the Butterfly Swarm could achieve even better results in battle.

’As for the fact that the Insect Oil stinks, I’ll just let Zhong Ling weigh the pros and cons herself.’

’In any case, this Insect Oil is meant to be a life-saving tool.’

As a single individual, this Carpet-eating Ladybug couldn’t reproduce.

Even if they provided it with an ample supply of Fungal Mats to consume freely, it wouldn’t be able to produce much Insect Oil.

The exploration of the Second Level Wolf Insect Secret Realm took less than three days.

And that was only because the Wolf Insect Secret Realm was enormous, and traveling took a significant amount of time.

Seeing that Tao En had not yet returned, Zhong Yi took a short day of rest before leading the group to explore another Wolf Insect Secret Realm, this one located in the South City Suburbs.

This Wolf Insect Secret Realm was on the verge of an outbreak, so in theory, it should have been more difficult to explore than the previous Second Level Wolf Insect Secret Realm.

However, the leader creature within this Wolf Insect Secret Realm was just a run-of-the-mill Sour Demon Grasshopper.

To give Shen Xuan—who had just formed a Contract with the Mire Poison Rain Moss—a chance to get used to its combat style, Zhong Yi didn’t even have the Luminous Beauty Butterfly use Charm on the Sour Demon Grasshopper.

After exploring two Wolf Insect Secret Realms in a row, the group had not only gained two Divine Origin Value points but had also earned the opportunity to participate in a Second Level Slaughter Secret Realm.

Both Zhong Ling and Zhong Yi received the opportunity to participate in the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

But Shen Xuan, He Guoguo, and Sun Ya heard no such system notification.

Zhong Yi suddenly remembered. ’To participate in the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, you need at least four Divine Origin Value points.’

The Second Level Slaughter Secret Realm wasn’t like the First Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, where killing an opponent only earned you one point of Divine Origin Value.

Shen Xuan had previously only explored one Ice Cave Secret Realm with Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling, so he currently had three Divine Origin Value points.

Sun Ya and He Guoguo only had two Divine Origin Value points, so all three of them failed to meet the conditions to participate in the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

Since Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling had qualified for the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, they could no longer explore ordinary Second Level Secret Realms.

So, Zhong Yi had Shen Xuan, Sun Ya, and He Guoguo form their own team.

They were to choose three other Extraordinary Tier Guardian Beast Masters from Starlight Academy to form a squad and explore a Second Level Secret Realm together.

Once Shen Xuan finished exploring one more Second Level Secret Realm, he would also qualify to enter the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

Then, he would just have Sun Ya and He Guoguo team up with others to explore another Second Level Secret Realm.

With Sun Ya and He Guoguo’s teamwork, even if they didn’t find other teammates, they could still take on some of the weaker Second Level Secret Realms.

As long as their strategy was sound, it wasn’t impossible for them to obtain a Divine Origin Abyss Value.

However, Sun Ya and He Guoguo’s combat styles were too deeply intertwined.

Even if the two of them eventually qualified, Zhong Yi didn’t plan on letting them participate in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

’These next few Secret Realm explorations will just serve as training for them.’

By the time Zhong Yi emerged from a Second Level Wolf Insect Secret Realm for the second time, Tao En had already returned to Starlight City.

In the days that Zhong Yi had been leading Zhong Ling, Shen Xuan, and the others through the Wolf Insect Secret Realms,

something had happened in the Xin Xia Federation big enough to overshadow the news from the battlefront at Fengjiang City.

Namely, Tao En had publicly announced in Longya City that he had become a Six-finger Creator.

Furthermore, he had consecutively concocted two bottles of Fire Dragon Potion at the Longya City Craftsmen Association.

After Tao En received his Six-finger Creator badge, the Longya City Craftsmen Union enthusiastically invited him to return.

Even if he was unwilling to move back, they still wanted him to accept a position as an honorary Director at the city’s Craftsmen Union.

Tao En coldly refused the invitation from the Longya City Craftsmen Union.

Only a little over a month had passed, yet returning to Longya City, he found everything had changed.

The reason Tao En, accompanied by Frost Day, had completed his certification as a Six-finger Creator at the Longya City Craftsmen’s Guild...

...was because the things he planned to do next would be much easier with the status of a Six-finger Creator.

Otherwise, even with Frost Day’s presence, he would have inevitably faced some resistance.

Immediately after being certified as a Six-finger Creator, Tao En headed for the Cao Family’s old residence.

Together with Frost Day, he slaughtered everyone in the Cao Family residence, sparing only Cao Xing’an.

Many people from factions connected to the Cao Family through kinship or association were also purged.

The Jinglong Commerce Association, which Cao Xing’an controlled, was completely dismantled by Tao En.
