Chu Xiu pondered for a while before making his decision.
The current primary goal is, of course, to enter the Hundred Ghosts lting Furnace World again to replenish the Ghostly Legion.
After the battle with ng Xuanshu, the power of his Ghostly Legion had dropped to less than one-third. But if he could successfully hunt that massive ghost, not only would he compensate for all the losses, but he could also elevate the overall strength of the Ghost House Legion to a new level.
At the sa ti, the agreent he made with the domain ghosts could also be fulfilled.
Moreover, after killing that giant ghost, his power would see another significant boost. At that point, whether hunting for heroic spirit ghosts at the bottom of the Hundred Ghosts lting Furnace or participating in the King Tier duel of the Bloody Arena, or even starting Free Deep Diving directly, would all be viable options.
"However, even though I’ve now advanced to the King Tier, facing this enormous creature head-on and killing it is still quite challenging."
If the Titan Giant chanism could be constructed and developed with cross-space strike capabilities, then it would be possible to replicate the battle in the trial where he killed the Blood Demon Giant God. But right now, facing such a large creature alone, he still lacks targeted ans.
"Better to upgrade first and see how it goes."
With this thought in mind, Chu Xiu was eager to start allocating points, curious to see how more than four million Cause and Effect Points could advance his strength!
Thinking of this, he imdiately prepared to find a secluded place to start cultivation.
However, as he sat cross-legged in a cave and set up a Defense Array, he suddenly sensed soone from Abyss City was sending him a ssage.
"Vengeance? The Investigation Bureau moves quickly indeed."
Chu Xiu also had matters to discuss with the other party. ng Xuanshu’s previous words had intrigued him. So after a slight pause, he imrsed his consciousness into Abyss City.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he t a pair of cold, angry eyes.
"Did you go to participate in the trial? Why didn’t you inform the governnt beforehand?"
Vengeance directly questioned.
Chu Xiu said, "It felt like I was ready, so I started the trial. The governnt has helped enough already, and I can’t trouble the governnt with everything."
Vengeance was not convinced by his explanation and coldly replied, "I think you kept quiet because you were afraid your identity would be exposed due to the trial timing, isn’t it?"
"Do you not trust the governnt? I can understand, but do you know how reckless your actions were? That was a King Tier Ancient Trial! Countless Civilization Envoys have lost their qualifications in it!"
"Your Proof of the Old Days is not just yours! If you lose the authority of the Master of Civilization, all the governnt’s investnts would go to waste! Do you understand the responsibility you bear now?"
Seeing Vengeance truly angry, Chu Xiu quickly laughed and said, "Junior knows he was wrong, but didn’t I pass it anyway?"
Vengeance’s expression remained unpleasant: "Even though you passed this ti by luck, if you had communicated with the governnt beforehand and strengthened so areas, there’s a chance you could pass a higher-level difficulty. So, what difficulty did you pass?"
"Single-player," Chu Xiu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yazhi’s expression improved slightly, but the tone remained harsh: "Listen carefully, I will let it slide this ti. But for the next Heroic Spirit Trial, you must communicate with the governnt before participating!"
"The Heroic Spirit Trial is a threshold, and its difficulty is absolutely incomparable to the trials you have participated in before. If you stubbornly participate based on past experiences, you will almost certainly die in it!"
"Let tell you, to date, no one has ever cleared the Heroic Spirit’s Ancient Trial. All Civilization Envoys throughout Blue Star’s history have fallen in it, and half of them challenged even the easiest four-person difficulty!"
Listening to Vengeance’s angry words, Chu Xiu quickly said, "Don’t worry, senior, this ti I was reckless. Before the next trial, I will definitely inform you!"
Hearing his promise, Vengeance’s expression finally improved.
He waved his hand, "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I have another matter to discuss with you."
"Now is the ti for you to choose a faction to join."
"The commotion from your advancent was too great. Even if we at the Investigation Bureau want to block the information about you, it’s impossible to conceal it. It will almost certainly attract greedy eyes... you haven’t forgotten about the Soul-Collecting Treasure Box, right? Don’t be fooled by the current peace; who knows how many are watching you in the shadows!"
"But if you have a backer, many covetous glances can be deterred."
"Guild, army, and comrce associations are all good choices. If you wish, I can even personally introduce you to the Celestial King. Moreover, King Tier cultivation requires a lot of Cause and Effect Points and resources. Without the support of a faction, your future path will be tough."
Vengeance’s words made Chu Xiu ponder; what he said was indeed reasonable, but Vengeance didn’t know that he had the ability of Safe Deep Diving.
Relying on the Deep Diving Safety Rope and Emperor Xi’s Exploration Lamp, two ultimate rewards never obtained by others, the otherwise extrely dangerous deep diving was rely a challenging option for Chu Xiu.
In the case of being able to safely deep dive, the resources in the Abyss are far more abundant than any faction can offer, and hiding within the Abyss also ans not having to worry about other’s prying.
Joining a faction would instead an he has to trust that faction.
Chu Xiu quickly made a judgnt: if one day he encounters a crisis and exhausts his life-saving Deep Diving Safety Rope, he would then consider Vengeance’s arrangents.
With this thought, Chu Xiu clasped his hands and agreed.
After saying all this, Vengeance was about to leave, but at this mont, Chu Xiu suddenly asked:
"Senior, do you know the Path of Heroic Spirits?"
