736 Each with Their Own Samsara (1/2)

Meng Qi nodded slightly. ”Aside from this, I won't exchange for anything else because it's pointless.”

”It is difficult to complete any task with just divine weapons and elixirs. It would be possible with Dharmakaya skills, but it would be risky. I'm not lacking in Dharmakaya movements, so it's unnecessary for me to exchange for them. I have no need for Precious Weapons as my four weapons are of exquisite quality. What I do need are healing elixirs like the Immortality Elixir of East Pole, the subsidiary Exterior skills, and secret treasure charms to make a quick getaway.”

There were three parts to the ”Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture,” first of which was the elevation from enlighten the Apertures to the Exterior, worth 10,000 Karma points. The second part was the elevation from the Exterior to near Dharmakaya, worth 40,000 Karma points. The last part was the elevation from near Dharmakaya to the real Dharmakaya, or if the practitioner was already at the Dharmakaya level, he/she could take it to another level, worth 100,000 Karma points. In order to complete the task, he just had to exchange for the third part. Apart from the cost in terms of Karma points, there were no other requirements.

In addition, it had the ability to turn rotten things into treasure, elevating skills from any style. As long as they had enough Karma points, it was the best choice.

”I'll lend you some karma points, just don't forget the interest rate which stands at 1 to 1.4 percent,” Jiang Zhiwei said with a laugh.

With Qi Zhengyan's departure from the group, they could not help but bring up memories. They smiled to hide the pain inside.

”I'll even increase the interest rate to 2.2 percent. Five hundred Karma points are nothing.” Meng Qi answered with a laugh. His tone was like that of someone from a respected family. With the sense of the ”World of Dao” and possible understanding of the ”I, the Unique and Righteous” in the future, he did not have to worry about Karma points.

When he received 500 Karma points from Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi walked straight up to the pillar and chose the second part of the ”Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture”.

Suddenly he felt something heavy land in his hands. A thick scripture appeared. It contained 33 different positions and notations.

As he flipped through the book, Meng Qi asked Zhao Heng casually, ”Which world will you enter with the Reincarnation Charm? Do you want to find out more about the next task before deciding?”

”You have a point. I did kind of rush to a decision.” Zhao Heng replied with a sigh.

After his first Death Task, he had been rich in Karma points. Sure, there were a few deaths, but without a ban on using secret treasures, he was able to come out of it unscathed. However, the latest Death Task had scared him a bit because he was lucky to have even completed it. Without the wooden sculpture from Master Lu, it seemed they would have only been able to succeed if Qi Zhengyan had brought the Saint Emperor of Benevolence down to the ninth underground level and sacrificed himself in the process. It would have killed the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the imperial court, and they could have won by strategizing and fighting hard.

Otherwise, there would have been one or two more deaths out of the four of them!

The near-death experience frightened him. He had realized that his strength was still not up to scratch. He was in a rush to elevate his ability, which was why as soon as he got the Reincarnation Charm, he had wanted to rely on it to gain more skills. However, he had forgotten about exchanging for the details of the next task.

Meng Qi smiled without saying anything. He exchanged for the details of the next task.

”The next task will be an individual task. You might cross paths with other Samsara travelers and teams, but please exchange for the details individually. The price is still 400 Karma points.” The Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms spoke expressionlessly.

”Individual task? It's a good thing that I borrowed 500 Karma points!” As these thoughts appeared in Meng Qi's mind, he took out 400 points from the 415 he had left over.

Suddenly, the grand, solemn voice of the Dominator of Samsara in the Six Realms reverberated in his heart.

”In the age of chaos, demons and ghosts hold the reins. They've contaminated the souls of innocents. Though many Taoist monks and swordsmen have tried putting a stop to the evil, it's still a drop in the ocean. They could only save the city and eliminate a few ghosts here and there.

”Main task: Head to Lanruo Temple and locate the Real Body of the Warlock of the Dark Mountain. Find his roots and completely eliminate him. If the task is successfully completed, you will be rewarded 4,000 Karma points. Fail, however, and the same amount will be deducted. If you have insufficient Karma points, you will be obliterated.

”The details of the individual task cannot be revealed to other members of the team, otherwise you will be obliterated.”

”Damn, is this the Female Ghost Story? Is it a good idea to be enemies with the Warlock of the Dark Mountain?” Meng Qi froze. From the words ”find his roots”, he realized this was far different from what he had anticipated. There must be some hidden secrets and the Warlock's strength had perhaps grown exponentially!

Meng Qi gathered his thoughts and looked at Jiang Zhiwei and the others. He realized that they were all shaking their heads, realizing that they could not reveal the details of their individual tasks.

Zhao Heng heaved a sigh. ”I plan to go back to the spiritual realm we just left. Since the Revolutionary Army is about to win the battle and we have a history of helping each other, I could get a lot of help. That will beneficial for the advancement of challenges.”

What he did not mention was that the imperial court was about to fall, and he could gain a lot of spoils and use Du Huaishang's breath to practice and elevate himself!

”Good choice.” Meng Qi commented. By the next task, Zhao Heng would more than likely cross the first level of the Celestial Ladder.

Zhao Heng used 2,400 Karma points to exchange for a year's time, adding to the two months he had from the Reincarnation Charm. Since he had exchanged the protecting secret treasure from before for karma points to deal with the Death Task, this time he chose a Top Grade Vertical Golden Light that could be used twice. Though it cost him 6,300 Karma points, it was necessary in case of a dire situation!
