Chapter 308
After Omar and Maya exined, Caspian finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. After
learning that the monsters ughtered viges, the Heavenly Stars Sect immediately sent its elders to
suppress it. In just a day, they effectively contained the monsters that ughtered the viges and
besieged towns. However, due to therge scope of monsters besieging towns, and it was rtively
scattered, it might be an overreaction if the Heavenly Stars Sect sent out their elders or higher-level
disciples.
The matter was already under control, so the Heavenly Stars Sect simply handed over the remaining
task of eliminating the monsters to the apprentices, which also consisted of wild beasts.
Wild beasts were equivalent to True Martial Realm warriors, whereas monsters were equivalent to
Pulse Control Realm cultivators. Since the Heavenly Stars Sect’s elders eliminated the powerful
monsters, the remaining ones were only as powerful as apprentices. That way, the apprentices also
had an opportunity for actualbat while they eradicated monsters.
Not only that, but the Heavenly Stars Sect was also extremely generous with the reward of the mission.
As long as they could kill a monster, they would get one sect contribution points. As for wild beasts,
they needed to kill five to get one sect contribution points. Then, the disciple could choose what to do
with the corpses. With that, the benefits reaped after killing a monster were far more than just getting
one sect contribution points. Hence, that was much more appropriate than doing those tiresome
ordinary tasks every month, but only getting a few sect contribution points in the end.
Thus, as soon as the mission was deployed, many apprentices hurried over. After all, the number of
monsters was limited. They not only had to fight against the disciples of the same sect but also from
other South Earlington’s sects. Furthermore, the monsters would surely be insufficient for all of the
disciples, so it was better for them to go sooner to preventrgerpetitions and smaller rewards.
Due to that, Omar and the others immediately contacted each other after learning of the mission and
looked for Caspian.
“Sure, but…” Caspian looked at the three of them.
Omar, Maya, and Sna, including Caspian himself, were ranked in the top ten of the recent spiritual
apprentice list rankingpetition. Based on their strength, they would not encounter danger if they
went alone. However, not only were they teaming up, but they also invited Caspian along. That meant
they plotted something that was not as simple as an ordinary disciple killing three monsters to finish the
task.
“If the four of us are going together, there must be a big n behind this, right?” Caspian asked.
“I knew you would’ve guessed it easily,” Omar pped and smiled brightly, “You’re right. If the four of
us head out together, it’d be too wasteful if we search for the wild beasts slowly like the other disciples.
We might as wellplete the mission alone. Since we’re teaming up, then we should directly go to
where the monsters gather and kill about dozens of them at one go. That way, we won’t need to waste
unnecessary time on the journey, and we’ll also be more efficient than others.”
Caspian nodded. Omar’s thoughts coincided with him, but he had another question. “Then, how do we
know where the monsters gather?”
“Maya knows best.” Omar smiled mysteriously.
Maya did not keep them on tenterhooks and directly retrieved a map. At a nce, Caspian noticed that
it was a map of the southern area of Earlington of Efrax, and there were many symbols and circles
marked on it.

As Caspian led troops to battles before, he saw countless maps, and he even drew a few. Hence,
Caspian could quickly tell that the markings on the map were the location and time of the monsters’
appearances.
Based on the location of the viges on the map and the speed of the monsters, it was possible to
roughly infer the range where they might appear at present. Then, Caspian and the rest would go
directly to that area, and they would not be like other disciples who blindly traveled.
Since Omar and the others were all so well prepared, Caspian immediately agreed as he also intended
to test his strength through actualbat. However, Caspian still needed to make some arrangements
before they set off. Thus, they agreed to meet at the front of the mountain gate in the evening, and
Caspian would still have six hours to prepare. After saying goodbye to Omar and the others, Caspian
immediately headed to the mission pavilion to ept the task. Then, he hurriedly visited the Astrea
Pavilion.
Before that, Caspian only spent dozens of sect contribution points exchanging for items. However,
Caspianvishly used up 500 sect contribution points in exchange for the various materials and
equipment needed for the trip.
Like Omar mentioned before, Caspian was also aware that they were not only facing monsters at that
time, but they might also fight against disciples of the same sect or even other sects.
As the battles before happened within the sect, they did not show the cruelty of the world of cultivators
due to the existence of rules. That time, it was truly going to be Caspian’s first time fighting against
other cultivators for resources, and thew of the jungle would mercilessly appear in front of Caspian.
If Caspian was careless, he might even lose his life. After all, there would not be any elders of the sect
to watch over in that environment, and no one would save them once they noticed something was
wrong.
As Caspian was a person who would prepare for the worst, the spending of the 500 sect contribution
points directly stunned the disciple in charge. However, Caspian thought it was insufficient, and he
added other materials worth 100 sect contribution points. In the end, Caspian spent 600 sect
contribution points as preparation for his first encounter with thew of the jungle in the world of
cultivators.
In the evening, Caspian met up with Omar and the rest. Then, they headed to the location where the
massacre first took ce, Wellspring Vige. It would take everyone at least fifteen days and nights of
walking to arrive at Wellspring Vige from the Heavenly Stars Sect. Nheless, everyone was well
prepared for the mission.
Firstly, they entered the town. Then, using their identities as the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples
coupled with a few spirit stones, they headed toward the transportation array between the cities.
That way, they saved more than half of their time and came to the vicinity of Wellspring Vige six days
later.
The ces where the monsters’ massacres took ce were at least more than ten days away from
Heavenly Stars Sect. Inparison, Wellspring Vige was rtively close. Nheless, that was
also logical. Unless those monsters were foolish enough, they would not have caused trouble right
under the Heavenly Stars Sect’s nose. If that were the case, the monsters would be killed before even
reaching the mountain gate of the Heavenly Stars Sect.
