Chapter 233: Chapter 201 The Calamity Conch, The Golden Route_2
You must have sensed his Beast Taming's unusually potent healing ability, haven't you? If I'm not mistaken, it should stem from the divine attribute on his body."
Chen Xing appeared thoughtful after hearing this. One crystal?
Does it refer to the whole point of divinity shown on the panel?
Noticing Chen Xing's surprise, Old Qiu said with a smile, "Without divinity, your Beast Taming obviously can't sense it."
"Only beings with divinity can perceive other divine creatures."
No, that's not right. Old Qiu's words suggested that only divine creatures could perceive other divine creatures, but Chen Xing hadn't seen any divine attribute on either the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile or the Wise Jellyfish.
This implied that neither of them was a divine creature.
Maybe it was the third Beast Taming creature that Old Qiu was hiding in the shadows.
Old Qiu said, "To achieve Ascension, one must gather divinity and master a Power of Laws!"
"Your Beast Taming has harnessed a Power of Laws, which, in some sense, means it has found one of the two keys to the path of Ascension."
"As long as you can achieve Tenth Layers of Transcendence and grow step by step, Ascension is not impossible."
Old Qiu patted Chen Xing on the shoulder.
Suddenly, Chen Xing thought of something.
According to what Old Qiu said, discovering divinity requires two conditions. One is to possess a Beast Taming creature with divinity, and although he didn't say it, the divinity must be greater than 1 to count.
The second is that the divinity of the divine creature being detected must also be greater than 1.
Of course, this was all told to him by Old Qiu, and there might be other methods.
But Chen Xing owned a Stone Booklet.
Even if the divinity is less than 1, he could still observe it through the Stone Booklet.
That means even gold dust hidden in the riverbed could not escape his notice.
"Old Qiu, what are the requirements for plundering divinity?" Chen Xing asked, for he had some speculations and thought it would be good to confirm them.
Qiu Shangqing wasn't surprised by Chen Xing's question, "There are two prerequisites. First, you must render the creature whose divinity is to be plundered into a state of helplessness, and the condition for making them helpless must be caused by the Power of Laws.Second, devour the target's flesh and blood."
"Simply put, you need the Power of Laws to control the target so that the divinity within their veins surfaces, and then devouring their flesh and blood will allow you to plunder the divinity.However, as long as you can render them helpless, consuming their flesh and blood is just a concurrent result, so the fundamental reason is to master the Power of Laws."
At this point, Qiu Shangqing suddenly paused.
With his experience, he guessed something.
Qiu Shangqing looked at Chen Xing with a slightly peculiar expression.
After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Did your Beast Taming creature consume quite a lot of the North Sea Behemoth's flesh and blood?"
Chen Xing nodded.
Qiu Shangqing chuckled, "Then it's likely that some of the North Sea Behemoth's divinity was devoured by your Beast Taming creature.""But this is a life-and-death fight, even if it accidentally kills, there's nothing to say."Qiu Shangqing looked at Chen Xing curiously, "The Power of Laws your Beast Taming creature has is quite peculiar; generally speaking, the Power of Laws is mostly related to the skills and the Attribute of the Beast Taming itself."
"For instance, a Fire Element Beast Taming creature usually masters Laws like 'ignition,' 'high temperature,' 'scorching,' and so on,while a Water Element Beast Taming creature's Laws are mostly 'coldness,' 'spread,' 'slowness,' 'corrosion,' and the like.Yours is quite special."
Looking at the Power of Laws from the outside doesn't reveal its characteristics, but one can infer them from the creatures attacked by the Power of Laws.
As Qiu Shangqing spoke, even with his composed nature, he couldn't help feeling a bit envious.
This lucky kid.
Ordinary Powers of Laws can't render a target completely helpless; it's only a very rare and special kind of Power of Laws that has this trait.
Chen Xing's Beast Taming creature was indeed fortunate to have awakened such a rare Law.
"Forget it, what is to be will be," Qiu Shangqing said, placing his hands behind his back.
"Since the divinity has been devoured, so be it. If I'm not mistaken, the North Sea Behemoth must be one of those inherently divine creatures.
There are very few special creatures in this world that are born with divinity, and their divinity continues to grow with them.Being able to possess so much divinity without Transcendence likely makes it one of those inherently divine creatures, possibly with the bloodline of Ancient Times deities.Therefore, they have divinity from birth and can grow over time, with their divinity reaching the limit of their Species."
"Let's go, let's have a meal first," said Qiu Shangqing as he walked back along the path.
Chen Xing took the opportunity to attach the Calamity Conch onto Taotie's claws.
A progress bar appeared.
9%...18.7%...19.8%...24.5%
The final figure stabilized at 14.5%.
A golden evolutionary path stretched out from the dotted line behind the progress bar.
A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Xing's eyes; he hadn't expected such a pleasant and unexpected gift.
He had no idea where the Calamity Conch had come from, but this golden evolutionary path was the highest he had seen for Taotie so far.
The only issue was that the materials needed later might be hard to find.
The Calamity Conch only made up 24.5% of the progress bar, meaning he would need three more types of materials of similar weight to complete the evolution requirements if they were all like this one.
Chen Xing returned Taotie to the Beast Taming Space.
He then hastened to catch up with Old Qiu.
At six in the evening, Chen Xing accompanied Old Qiu to the island's center to join the bonfire party.
At eleven o'clock at night, the bonfire party lasted until the end, and the greatest gain Chen Xing made was obtaining a clue about Sunrise Light.
Besides that, he gathered quite a few business cards.
The clue about Sunrise Light came from the runner-up of this Qinghai competition.
He claimed his name was Bite and that his family was in the material trade, originating from the Polaris Federation.
Their primary business was the trade of interdimensional materials at a considerable scale.
During the bonfire party, Bite was very enthusiastic, patting his chest and saying that if Chen Xing needed anything in the future, he should just contact him.
At that moment, Chen Xing casually mentioned the "Sunrise Light" material and inquired whether Bite was aware of it.
However, Bite's reaction was unexpected. He merely paused for a moment before promptly responding, "I have stock of that in my warehouse. If you need it, I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to you immediately."
Chen Xing wanted to purchase it at market price, but Bite turned bright red, looking as if he'd be offended if Chen Xing insisted on paying the original price.
Eventually, Chen Xing exchanged contact information with him.
After Chen Xing had left, Bite returned to his spot, holding a glass of wine.
"Uncle, how was my performance just now?" Bite asked.
"A bit crude," the man in the tailcoat chuckled.
"It doesn't matter. As long as we can establish a connection that's all that counts," Bite said with an unconcerned smile. "It's just a bit of Sunrise Light; consider it an investment."
"Make your own decisions," the man Bite called uncle said indifferently.

Their family controlled a secret realm that happened to produce Sunrise Light.
However, this material had very limited applications, being useful only for the evolution of the specific Original Light Egret species.
If they could get some other clues about the greater value of Sunrise Light from Chen Xing, it wouldn't be a bad deal either.
Of course, whether or not they could learn about other uses for Sunrise Light was not essential.
Because investing in Chen Xing himself was the most significant investment!
...
"That Bite's family is in the material business, and they can get things that ordinary people can't," Qiu Shangqing told Chen Xing.
He was neutral about Chen Xing making these new acquaintances.
He neither participated nor helped Chen Xing make decisions.
He simply told Chen Xing that these people definitely had various motives in seeking him out but how to handle these relationships ultimately depended on Chen Xing's own will.
He couldn't make all the decisions for Chen Xing.
Chen Xing acknowledged his understanding.
Feeling rather pleased, his greatest gain from this trip to Sunlight Island was obtaining Sunrise Light.
The last material needed for the Sìxiàng evolution was now within reach.
He had posted a buying request on the school forum, with no replies in several days.
Unexpectedly, he had managed to obtain Sunrise Light through such a fortuitous encounter on Sunlight Island.
Once Sunrise Light was in hand, he could start preparing for the Sìxiàng Evolution Ceremony.
However, holding the Evolution Ceremony required passing through the gateway in Shadow Giant City to enter the Dark Realm, which was a bit troublesome.
According to the information Chen Xing had gathered, the location of Shadow Giant City was not exactly close to Jiuzhou University.
Luckily, the Teleportation Array was available, which could save a lot of travel time.
But with such a distance, the influence of Great Xia barely reached Shadow Giant City, so going there alone wouldn't be very safe.
