1 Treasure Selection Reward - Peak Silver Grade?

Draco and Eva completed the floor once they achieved most of their goals. Their Demon/Devil/Angel/Goddess Martial Spirits had been blessed with suitable Cultivation Methods that got them to the Bone Cleansing Realm level 10, which was the peak.

It was only their Dragon and Phoenix Martial Spirits which were still at level 1 of the Blood Pulsation Realm, but Draco and Eva delayed that one. After all, while the other Cultivation Methods were top tier, they were not like the Dragon Ascension Chant or the Phoenix Rebirth Mantra.

They appeared in the castle and went right into the next floor. They now had the Cultivation Methods, so they wanted to practice them to the limit by floor 40 and then carry their understandings to the Morningstar World in order to make a move.

However, before they could go, Draco and Eva were stopped by each of them receiving a special notification.

Draco rubbed his chin. Being able to use Alchemy without a cauldron was great, but he still needed Pair Dadeni's cheat to cut costs, though he could arguably mass produce anything up to Legendary Materials on his own with Refinement. Well, the option was there, so better to have it than not.

What was more interesting was that he was allowed to use all forms of Alchemy without limit, as long as he knew how. This was probably the best part of this title, since it would allow him to use what he had learned from the Martial Spirit World in the Western Fantasy section.

You thought Draco could have done so anyway? Heck no!

There were a lot of hurdles to jump before he could replicate what he did there out here. Firstly, he required Qi Energy, which was not present without special means like Kiran's cultivation skill or some Martial Artist class in general.

Even then, that was specialized Qi, not natural Spirit Energy that existed in the atmosphere. Western Fantasy did not have that, unfortunately, as it needed a proper Cultivation world/setting which was Eastern Fantasy.

After that, he required the specific materials produced in a rich Spirit Energy environment. Unfortunately, the ones in Western Fantasy grew with Worldly Energy, so they could not be used as substitutes.

Finally, the world systems were different. In the Martial Spirit World, it was a simulated system by the Tower which copied traits of Eastern Fantasy but toned them down to some extent.

Outside, or on any other set of floors, it would be the typical Western Fantasy system. In other words, just like when Draco tried to make a Goddess' Kiss potion inside the Martial Spirit World, which came out as a pill, if he tried to make a Qi Boosting pill elsewhere, it would come out as a potion.

The Alchemic Systems were different, though they shared the same name. Now, this title broke that limiter, allowing him to make pills or potions as long as he was in possession of the know-how.

Additionally, it was a free perma-title and Draco only had one of those, which was the Mage God. His always equipped title was his Richmond's Herald, which gave Mana Capacity and Regen +100% and skill cooldowns -50%.

The other ones he got like Lightbringer and Battle Manic were simply set aside because their effects were not necessary at the moment.

Anyway, this new title was pretty good, but not by much. The Qi system was fun, but it was capped at the Integration Realm. To progress, they would have to either derive the way forward themselves or head to the Eastern Fantasy section and acquire better Cultivation Methods.

Remember, this was a Divine Unique Quest, so the Tower couldn't simulate anything above Legendary. Even though Qi could allow them to spam bloodline attacks, they would need Qi Stones to replenish all spent Qi in the Western Fantasy section and for cultivating.

It wouldn't be like being in a world with natural Spirit Energy where Qi recovered automatically over time like mana, so it was technically an infinitely renewable resource.

Outside? Not so much. It was a unique resource not naturally produced, so external methods would have to be used. Look, Draco could certainly conjure up Qi Stones using Refinement and all, but he'd be better off using Refinement for things that actually related to the Western Fantasy section.

He could pursue having a Qi cultivation-esque thing when he reached Eastern fantasy. The only reason they were practicing it so hard was for the real world, as it didn't matter whether they practiced it now or when they got to the Eastern Fantasy section.

Yes, they could also try to create a Qi energy source in the Morningstar World, but that was not possible. When Draco had first gotten a Qi Stone, he had tried to feed it to the Eternal Tree.

Don't forget, the source of all the infinite energy in that Inner Universe stemmed from the Eternal Tree. Were it not for that tree, the energy in the Inner Universe would be finite and get thinner and thinner with each expansion, until it became like the current Western Fantasy universe where it had stretched too far, so Origin Gods were forced to fill in the gaps with their own power.

As for Eva, her title was far more straightforward. It was super useless right now, but would prove godly during the Great War. She would level twice as fast as Draco!

The other thing that stopped them was an alert from the AI about the absorbed Dao Source. As such, Draco and Eva rushed into the Morningstar World to see the glowing Dao Source hovering above the continent in the void.

All the Morningstar World residents were currently watching this strange energy source pulsate as it hovered near the Eternal tree, the tree also observing this thing with interest.

It did not connect or absorb it, rather using its branches to push the Dao Source into an empty space for it to become its own thing. Immediately, Draco and everyone could almost hear a yelp of joy as energy flooded into the Dao Source.

It gobbled up raw Origin Energy endlessly for a few minutes, making it grow to surpass the size Draco had found it. It didn't stop until it became supermassive. Once done, it stopped and seemed to burp, rotating on its spot casually without doing much else. Confused, Draco decided to check it out.

Description: This is a unique entity, a Dao Source that was created at the beginning of a universe and is the literal source of an entire concept of species from beginning to end.?

Mm… not too impressive. It literally had no use for Draco or Eva right now. They would not use it on the Demon Gods Draco absorbed because he collected them as cannon fodder, not generals.

His 9 Demon Lords did not need this thing either, for they did not cultivate nor did they need their bloodlines purified because they were at the highest realm. He also did not care for the Lesser Demons in his bloodline because it would ruin the hierarchy.

Demons had a bloodline-based-caste system, and even a fellow near the top like Asmodeus had dared to act funny. If the other Demons suddenly experienced surges in power, they would get ideas and revolt.

After inspecting these things, Draco and Eva left the Morningstar World. There were other things they needed to check for sure, but they were putting it off until later.

They entered the next floor and found that they were in the midst of a group of youths, all who were like them, wearing the Dragon and Phoenix Palace robes, only that Draco and Eva retained their resplendent Young Ancestor robes.

They stood in their own circle, while the other youths gave them a respectable distance and refrained from chattering in a way that would annoy them. Amused by the display, Draco and Eva turned to see the sect master and the various elders seated on a podium before them.

"Welcome, disciples of my Dragon and Phoenix Palace. Half a year has passed since you all joined the sect, and it is time to filter out those who did not have just good Martial Spirits, but good cultivation ability and combat ability." Sect Master Dongfang Wang began.

"In other words, it is time for the bi-annual Sect Competition!" Grand Elder Tuo Fan revealed while rubbing his beard.

The disciples seemed energized and began to chatter rapidly, their young bodies filled with vigor and excitement to show their worth to their masters, enemies, and friends.

Seeing how the youths were riled up, the Elders smiled. Of course, seeing a certain duo who were observing everything nonchalantly, they couldn't help but feel the rise of a headache.

Luckily, they'd already had enough time to set up the rules and regulations, as well as the events of the competition with the two Little Ancestors in mind.

As for Draco and Eva, they checked the floor details that had just come up, scratching their cheeks at the prompts.
