MONSTER PARADISE

1381-1400

 “Ice Blue Shelter was established only 30,000 years ago. Ace Star within the shelter and several other planets around it were all transformed into livable planets by the sky dragon named Ice Blue,” explained Lin Huang, who had read up on the information about Ice Blue Shelter.

 “Ahh, so that’s what happened…” Sword301 understood then.

 “Do you have any other memories of this ruin?” Lin Huang asked Sword301 quickly.

 Although he had already done his homework in advance and purchased information about the Frost Territory in the black market, Lin Huang still wanted to hear whether Sword301 had any noteworthy information.

 “I don’t remember much about this ruin. I just remember that it was completely accessible at that time, and it could be entered by anyone below lord-level. I was a Heavenly God at the time. Before my turn, many heavenly god-level powerhouses had already gone in. From what I can remember, there does not seem to be anything particularly valuable in there. I only remember that there were heavenly god-level frost spirits; I even hunted down two of them.” Sword301 thought about it and gave his answer.

 Sword302’s reply had little reference value for Lin Huang. He was too lazy to continue asking. “This ruin is now exclusively occupied by the Combat God Temple. To prevent the depletion of resources, the Lord of the Combat God Temple probably set some prohibitions in place. Now entry is restricted to those at heavenly god-level.

 “Every sixty years, the Combat God Temple is opened internally for two months at a time. It is opened to the public once every 120 years, and only for one month at a time. During this period of accessibility, all organization members above grade-5 can use their identity tokens to enter or exit. Organization members grade-5 and below must submit an application to the Combat God Temple; they are only allowed to enter once their application has been approved.

 “That’s why I urged the two of you to complete the reserve missions from Death Sickle over the last few days and get the Black Sickle identity tokens. Because the Combat God Temple only recognizes official identity tokens, it makes no difference if it is grade-6 or grade-7 organizations—even for those who are Combat God Temple members, they will not be able to enter this ruin with the identity token of a reserve.”

 “Lord Swordmaster, do you have any missions for us when we enter the ruins?” Sword301 asked again.

 “Both your missions are very simple—you will hunt monsters and obtain resources.” Lin Huang glanced at the two of them. “Although you are both under a state of restriction and your combat strength is affected by me, you don’t need resources to cultivate, but you do need money for your daily expenses.

 “In the future, you will be responsible for your own expenses when you are back in the great world. You don’t need to tell me how many monsters you’ve hunted and how much money you sold them for. You can spend as much as you earn.” Lin Huang’s position on the Sword Servants was to let them fend for themselves. After all, it was unrealistic for him to support hundreds of Heavenly Gods on his own.

 “If you really want to talk about specific missions… during your hunt, please observe whether there are Virtual God rank-9 level-4 monsters. If there are, don’t kill them, just let me know.”

 “You mean, you want to hunt alone?” Sword302 asked immediately.

 “That won’t do! At least one of us must follow you to ensure your safety,” Sword301 protested immediately.

 “It’s not that you aren’t aware of my capabilities. In your current state, you won’t be of any use to me for enemies that I can’t cope with. It’s better that we hunt on our own so that everyone can get the maximum benefits from any resources.”
