Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Wei Fan was somewhat astonished by the secret technique of the Emperor Dao Sect; it could summon Imperial Soldier Power, and even a wisp of it could sweep across powerhouses of the same tier, possibly even suppress and slay those of a higher tier.

Of course, to truly understand it, one must experience it firsthand.

The cost of such a secret technique is definitely not small, otherwise, He Feihong wouldn’t have been killed without having the chance to exhibit it. If there were no cost at all, He Feihong would have used it immediately to suppress and kill him.

"By the way, do you think my current military achievements are enough to exchange for a piece of emperor-level martial arts?"

Today, during the confrontation with He Feihong, there was still a gap between them, which lay mainly in their primary cultivation techniques.

Although his current cultivation technique has been derived by combining several saint-level martial arts based on the Scripture of the Three Emperors, there is still some gap compared to true emperor-level martial arts. He could feel this difference in vigor and purity during the battle with He Feihong.

In the battle of the Desert Five Tigers Sect, he killed He Feiyu and the Golden Lion King, and later joined forces with Li Jianchen to take down the Dragon Horned Deer King. Adding his recent kill of He Feihong, he has personally slain four demon saints.

Even if he had to share half of the military achievements of the Dragon Horned Deer King with Li Jianchen, he still has three and a half, plus his achievement of baiting out and eliminating the Qilin Ape Saint, who was almost breaking through to become a demon emperor, along with the dozens of demon kings he slayed when sweeping across Beiding Continent, his achievements should be enough to exchange for a piece of genuine emperor-level martial arts.

"You boy are truly amazing. I’ve lived to this age and have only slain a single demon saint."

Zhou Shen shook his head.

In fact, most martial saints find it challenging to remain undefeated when confronting demon saints, let alone slay them.

Many martial saint powerhouses may die without having slain a single rival of the same level.

As for Wei Fan, just the number of saint realm powerhouses he knows he has slain is seven or eight, which is truly astonishing.

"Your military achievements are indeed sufficient, and even if they weren’t, with your talent, the Hall Master and I could request an Emperor Scripture for you." Though the Demon Hunter Organization doesn’t particularly favor talents, it largely stems from those talents not being extraordinary. For an organization that has existed for countless years, mere average talents won’t receive special favors, but for someone truly peerless, the Demon Hunter Organization won’t hold back privileges.

Even without these achievements, with his potential to be in the saint realm at nineteen, they could use the authority of the Sub-Palace Master to request a Martial Emperor Technique for Wei Fan.

"This is, in fact, one of the reasons I called you here; the earlier you train in emperor-level martial arts, the quicker your breakthrough to Martial Emperor will be in the future."

Although there are no longevity constraints when breaking through from saint realm to Martial Emperor, the younger the age, the higher the success probability.

The Qilin Ape Saint was simply too old; his Blood Qi had long dwindled. Even though he reached the threshold of the Emperor Dao, his insufficient Qi Blood forced him to seek nourishment, only to fail at the critical moment.

Otherwise, if he had remained hidden, they wouldn’t have had a way to find the Qilin Ape Saint.

Wei Fan respectfully cupped his hands, "Thank you for your concern!"

He hadn’t expected Zhou Shen to care more about this matter than he did; if Zhou Shen hadn’t called him, he might have taken some time to think of it.

"Then is there anything else?"

Zhou Shen said, "Also related to this matter, there’s no need for me to elaborate on what Martial Emperor Techniques are; in the Jianghu, such things cause storms of bloodshed, and who knows how many martial saints have perished.

Although it’s exchanged for military achievements, it’s not something anyone can simply exchange for by slaying a few demon saints and approaching the Demon Hunter Organization for a Martial Emperor Technique."

"What are the conditions, please tell me directly."

Wei Fan nodded. The Demon Hunter Organization can easily provide saint realm techniques, but Martial Emperor Techniques are by no means casually given out.

There are conditions; he had already anticipated this. Without certain measures, how could the Demon Hunter Organization exist for so many years and become the foremost power of the Human Race?

It’s not just demons who hate the Demon Hunter Organization; even some humans loathe it.

The Demon Hunter Organization acts like a sword hanging over the heads of these people, deterring them from doing anything detrimental to the Human Race.

"Through endless years, the Human Race has been resisting demon fiends. If it weren’t for our Demon Hunter Organization continually uniting the Human Race, it would have long been reduced to mere fodder for demon fiends.

You are now in the saint realm; you can’t act on whims but must organize your efforts. If you wish to obtain a Martial Emperor Technique, you need to become a Town Territory Envoy for the Demon Hunter Organization."

Wei Fan furrowed his brows slightly, "Town Territory Envoy?"

Gu Qingshan nodded, "Yes, a Town Territory Envoy. Although you are currently a Territory Guardian War General, the Demon Hunter Organization’s restraint on you is limited. If in times of crisis you refuse to obey commands, there’s nothing we can do against you, at most stripping you of your status as a Territory Guardian War General.

"Becoming a Town Territory Envoy is different. From now on, the orders given to you by the Demon Hunter Organization must be executed unconditionally. If you defy them, it’s not just a matter of having your status revoked; if severe consequences result, the Demon Hunter Organization might even execute you."

Wei Fan’s expression visibly darkened. Although his bottom line was not to hand over his Life Token for others to control, he also didn’t want to be constrained like Gu Qingshan and Zhou Shen, who were stationed in one continent, unable to leave for hundreds or thousands of years. He couldn’t accept that.

Everything he had was obtained through slaying demon fiends to gain power; he needed significant autonomy. Being constrained and taking orders from others would limit his growth.

Zhou Shen, as if aware of these concerns, spoke, "Rest assured, you don’t have to hand over your Life Token; the Demon Hunter Organization wouldn’t use such means to control their own. Speaking arrogantly, if the Demon Hunter Organization truly wanted to kill a certain traitor, even without a Life Token, they could find and kill them no matter where they hide."

Wei Fan shook his head, "I don’t want to be constrained, nor do I want to be trapped in one place like you."

Gu Qingshan laughed heartily, "Becoming a Town Territory Envoy doesn’t impose much constraint. The Demon Hunter Organization isn’t foolish; they won’t overly constrain a true talent. Every person’s situation is different; the Demon Hunter Organization naturally understands this.

In fact, becoming a Town Territory Envoy is not much different from your current role as a Territory Guardian War General. As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the Demon Hunter Organization, which won’t be many, you’ll still have time for cultivation and autonomy.

Every Town Territory Envoy is a talent, and for the Demon Hunter Organization, the improvement of your cultivation is most important; we won’t make small losses for big gains."

Wei Fan’s brow finally relaxed a bit.

Zhou Shen added, "In essence, a Town Territory Envoy is a more flexible Territory Guardian War General. The Territory Guardian War General only fights within one continent, but once you leave the Beiding Continent, the hall masters of other continents can’t command you.

As a Town Territory Envoy, your battlefield isn’t just the Beiding Continent, but the entire Eastern Domain, or even the Five Great Domains. When the Saint Realm power of our Human Race is insufficient somewhere, Town Territory Envoys are needed for support, similar to your role as a Demon Hunter Inspector in the Wilderness.

As a Town Territory Envoy, you also oversee the anti-demon efforts of Demon Hunter Organizations in various places, providing supervision and support for branch forces like mine and the Hall Master’s."

Wei Fan’s brow fully relaxed. What he worried about was not being able to slay demon fiends, being trapped in one place. As long as he didn’t get delayed in slaying demon fiends, the difference between being a Territory Guardian War General and a Town Territory Envoy wasn’t significant to him.

"Li Jianchen is actually a Town Territory Envoy of our Demon Hunter Organization. Previously, when Hall Master Gu and I didn’t have enough power to suppress the demon fiends in the Beiding Continent, the Eastern Domain Main Hall sent him to support us. Now that most of the Demon Saints in Beiding Continent are dead, his task is complete.

Actually, if you find the long-term stationing during tasks dull, it’s simple; just slaughter all the Demon Saints in that place, and the task will be completed.

I believe with your aptitude, these won’t be issues. There’s no such thing as a free lunch; you can’t expect to gain Martial Emperor Techniques without putting in anything.

Although Demon Hunters act freely, upon reaching the Saint Realm, if everyone remains scattered like sand, how can the demon fiends be resisted?

In the Five Great Domains, not everywhere is as peaceful as Beiding Continent; every day, Human Race soldiers battle demon fiends. Without unified dispatch, places where Human Race strength is less than that of demon fiends would have been destroyed long ago."

Wei Fan understood now. Becoming a Town Territory Envoy only meant transitioning from a scattered state to unified command. Demon hunting was no longer about killing whoever you wanted; you went where there was need to slay demon fiends.

Gu Qingshan also spoke up, "Actually, even if you don’t become a Town Territory Envoy, you still need to go to the Holy City. With your talent and strength, the Beiding Continent can no longer contain a true dragon like you. Only by going to a place like the Holy City, and witnessing the talents of the entire Eastern Domain, can your full potential be stimulated.

Moreover, you are too dazzling now. If those demon fiends bring Imperial Soldiers to kill you, we won’t be able to protect you here, whereas in the Holy City, no one dares to use Imperial Soldiers."

The Eastern Domain Holy City, right? He had long wanted to see it. That place was the most prosperous and brilliant in the Martial Dao world, a gathering of talents, where powerhouses emerged in large numbers, and the frontline of the fiercest Human Race and demon fiend confrontations.

His original plan was also to visit the Holy City after a while, to encounter the demon fiends there.

"Alright! Then I’ll become a Town Territory Envoy."

Wei Fan agreed. He wasn’t originally from the Beiding Continent, so he had few attachments to this place.

Since being a Town Territory Envoy imposed little constraint and instead provided more opportunities to slay demon fiends, he would take on the role. In doing so, he could also travel the world at organizational expense.

"The Martial Emperor Techniques aren’t available in Beiding Continent; you must go to the Holy City for those. I’ve already discussed it with Li Jianchen, and he will take you to the Main Hall of Holy City when the time comes to guide you into becoming a Town Territory Envoy."

As he spoke, Zhou Shen took out a document enveloped in the Power of Heart and Spirit with special fluctuations: "At that time, just give this letter to the Main Hall, and remember not to open it.

Prepare yourself; Li Jianchen will likely return to the Holy City in a day or two."

He was the Vice Hall Master, but essentially the primary administrator. Hall Master Gu often only handled combat and managing those Demon Saints.

Wei Fan took the letter and kept it safe, "If there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave."

Zhou Shen waved his hand, "Wait, there’s one more thing I need to tell you."
