In the World Lord Level Chaos Beast hunting grounds on the outermost edge of the Initial Universe, Xue Xi followed closely behind Li Yidao. As the Strongest Battle champion, he could kill a World Lord Level Chaos Beast with every swing of his blade. Five thousand years had passed, and each beast's death left behind a fist-sized Chaos True Spirit, which he tossed directly to Xue Xi behind him.
She examined the Chaos True Spirit in her hand and saw that its color had changed from green to purple. The strange energy within it, the kind that could transform the soul, had also grown far more potent.
Just imagining how ten thousand Chaos True Spirits might change her soul filled her with excitement. Her comprehension of the Culinary Dao Laws had begun to slow. Even with Cloud Mist Tea, she was still learning much faster than other people, but Xue Xi wasn't satisfied.
If something could be better, then people would strive for better. That was human desire and instinct—impossible to resist, and no need to resist.
Since Li Yidao was doing all the hunting for her, Xue Xi simply sat cross-legged on the handle of his flying knife and absorbed the Chaos True Spirits at her own pace. It wasn't that she was recklessly confident in her abilities. With the equipment she had, and the double protection of her body and soul, she could probably roll around in a horde of Chaos Beasts without getting so much as a scratch.
And so Li Yidao took Xue Xi around to hunt Chaos Beasts, serving as a dutiful errand-runner, while she focused entirely on absorbing the Chaos True Spirits and savoring the wonderful feeling of her soul growing stronger with every passing moment.
