His third bloodline was destined to be the abyss bloodline. The previously collected Infernal Demon limbs had all been consumed by Demanga in experiments, thus delaying Avril's absorption of the Infernal Demon bloodline after refining the hand bone of the Goblin God.
Kadu City had few people and weak strength, and no Infernal Demon bloodline existed there. In the past, abyssal demons would emerge frequently, but now, despite wanting them, none appeared.
He had originally planned to come to Aisinger and inquire through various channels about the whereabouts of the Infernal Demon bloodline. Being a large city, there would surely be more opportunities. Relying on the money he earned along the way, he would be able to buy some. Unexpectedly, before even entering Aisinger, two Infernal Demons came to him, enough for Li Xi to use for a long time.
Could this be the passive skill 'Good Luck' gained after sleeping with Avril? While not as monstrous as her luck, it did increase the probability of good fortune.
Galidos, hearing Li Xi's trembling voice, thought he was scared. This was understandable; facing such top-tier abyssal demons, most people would lack the courage. Furthermore, they had initially intended to invite Li Xi's master, the renowned Dragonborn Mourinho, but after sensing Li Xi's unfathomable strength, they decided to invite him instead.
He immediately spoke to comfort him, "Don't be afraid. This time, it's not just you and me. We also have S-class mercenary Dragon Knight Cameron and Archmage Hermes. The four of us are enough to deal with two Infernal Demons."
Li Xi could barely contain his excitement. He instinctively licked his slightly dry lips, "Then how will the spoils of war be distributed afterward?"
Galidos glanced at Li Xi in surprise, suddenly realizing that the person beside him didn't seem afraid upon hearing about the Infernal Demons. Instead, he seemed more like a hunter who had suddenly spotted prey and become excited. That made sense; being an Abyssal Cursebearer, how could he fear abyssal demons?
"What? Do you have any special needs?"
"If possible, I want all the blood of the two Infernal Demons."
Galidos pondered for a moment. Infernal Demons were walking gold mines; every part of them, even their nose hairs, could fetch a high price. Their blood was a significant portion, a natural magic conductive liquid and an excellent material for inscribing magic formations. In this world, anything related to mages was outrageously expensive.
Li Xi now asking for all their blood made it difficult for Galidos to agree directly. He said with some difficulty, "I cannot promise you this, but we usually distribute spoils based on the effort put in. If you truly need Infernal Demon blood, you'll have to contribute more then."
Li Xi didn't question this, finding the principle of "distribution according to work" reasonable. "That's only right. The spoils one earns themselves taste better."
"Then it's settled. I'll look for you when you reach Aisinger."
"Alright."
Galidos turned around and smiled at Philin, who was eavesdropping with her ear tilted but couldn't hear anything. This made Philin quite embarrassed. "Little girl, I'll take that item back myself. You two take your time walking. When you get to Aisinger, we'll see how your sister deals with you."
Upon hearing the word "sister," Philin immediately became flustered and looked around nervously, fearing her strict sister would suddenly appear and punish her for running away.
Galidos was about to leave when he thought of something else. He turned back and said to Li Xi with a serious tone, "I've taken care of all the enemies on the remaining road for you, so it's very safe. However, be careful when you reach Aisinger. The times are turbulent, and you never know who is good and who is bad. You've disrupted some people's plans this time, so it's always best to be cautious."
"Thank you for your reminder, sir. I will."
With Galidos's interruption, Philin's little worries temporarily subsided. After playing for a while longer, she returned to their lodging with Li Xi.
As soon as they returned, Nuohan came to report that Galidos had already visited and sent away the third carriage.
These matters were not within Li Xi's protection scope, so he didn't bother with them. He quickly returned to his room; he hadn't even greeted the newly acquired Three-Tails Isobu yet.
Inside the sealed space, the Two-Tails Matatabi lay on a deserted island, lazily stretching its body. This space was much larger than its previous one, and it was quite satisfied with its current life, except for the constant need to supply chakra to the jinchuriki.
The Three-Tails Isobu also learned about what an "otherworld" was from Matatabi and that its new jinchuriki's life was bound to theirs. If Li Xi, the jinchuriki, died, they wouldn't even have a chance to revive in this otherworld, so rebellion was impossible.
In the past, in the ninja world, they constantly tried to kill the jinchuriki because they could revive indefinitely. To gain freedom, they could fight however they wanted. Now, the seawater in this sealed space tasted good.
He also learned from Matatabi that this jinchuriki was very powerful, ranking among the top in this otherworld. Therefore, his current timing was excellent. Unlike Matatabi when it first arrived, the jinchuriki's strength was not yet considerable then, and it had narrowly escaped death several times, almost dragging Matatabi down with it.
Furthermore, he learned from Matatabi that there were many creatures in this world far more powerful than them, called "gods." If they were to venture out in their unique forms, they might encounter danger, so staying here was also a good option.
Li Xi's spiritual power transformed into his appearance and suddenly appeared before Isobu, greeting him with a smile, "Hello, my name is Li Xi. I am the only ninja in this world, and I am also your jinchuriki. You can also call me master. I'm sure you know our relationship. I am a very easygoing person and never interfere with your lives. If you need anything, as long as it's within my abilities, I will satisfy you."
"From now on, we know each other. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Isobu's massive body also reclined lazily on the sea surface, similar to Matatabi. Frankly, after accepting reality, both of them were leaning towards a "shut-in" lifestyle. They were not as ferocious as legend described; they were as carefree as could be.
A deafening roar echoed across the sea, stirring up waves. "I understand. Don't worry, for our own sake, I will do my best to help you."
Li Xi sent a thankful look to Matatabi. Acknowledging the Three-Tails so quickly was largely thanks to Matatabi. Without its firsthand account, the Tailed Beasts wouldn't have easily shown goodwill to a jinchuriki.
Isobu raised its eyelids and continued, "You said earlier that you could help with anything you needed, right?"
Li Xi replied directly, "Yes, you can tell me your requests. I will do my best to satisfy them if I can."
Matatabi had no requests, but Isobu had one immediately upon meeting. Li Xi wasn't afraid of requests; he was afraid of those who had none. This was a good start.
Then, Isobu said, "I originally had a little follower named Samehada. Later, it was stolen by ninjas. Since you can bring us to this otherworld, you must have a way to bring Samehada here. Therefore, I hope Samehada can return to my side. Without it, I can't even eat properly."
"Uh,"
Li Xi was truly surprised that Isobu's request was this. However, Li Xi himself didn't know when Samehada could be extracted, but it was only a matter of time. "This is not a big problem, just the timing is uncertain. But as long as I can bring Samehada to the otherworld, I will definitely deliver it to you."
"Thank you. You are a good jinchuriki. You can use my chakra freely."
Li Xi quickly left the sealed space. As agreed with Isobu, he subtly mobilized Isobu's chakra. Unlike his own chakra and Matatabi's fire-attribute chakra, Isobu's chakra, upon appearing, was like a harbinger of a heavy rain. A large amount of water vapor emerged in the room. Li Xi clearly felt that his Water Style ninjutsu had improved by more than fifty percent with this chakra. If he unleashed Isobu's full chakra, his Water Style would improve by several times without any issues.
Trading the not-yet-obtainable Samehada for an immediate increase in strength was a profitable deal!
The next day, they set off. Just as Galidos had said, the journey was very quiet, and nothing happened.
Three days passed, and the legendary eternally standing walls of Aisinger had yet to appear. Three floating islands appeared in Li Xi's line of sight.
One large and two small, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, their lush green vines could be seen from afar, decorating the floating islands with vibrant greenery. Beams of magical energy shot up from the islands, intersecting with the natural sunlight in the sky, forming colorful rainbow patterns.
This was the product of magic and combat spirit pushed to their extremes. Unlike the airplanes and cannons of his previous life, this world excelled at harmonizing with nature. It was hard to say which was superior.
"Beautiful, isn't it? This is Aisinger, the center of the main world, spread across all planes. If Aisinger is the center of the world, then these three floating islands are the heart of the world. They are owned by the Magic Guild, the Royal Family, and the Church of Light, respectively." Philin introduced the floating islands in the distance with great pride, which was understandable.
The energy and power required for each floating island to remain aloft were enviable even to gods. Coupled with centuries of effort and the dedication of dozens of generations, this was truly the pinnacle of human creation. They were not only spectacular but also powerful weapons of war. When the first floating island was built, it coincided with the turmoil in the Dwarf Empire.
The human emperor at the time simply moved the floating island over and annihilated the Dwarf Empire, demonstrating the combat power of the floating islands; one island could easily rival a nation.
Of course, the more powerful the weapon, the terrifying the energy consumption. Otherwise, only the three wealthiest organizations and nations in the current era could control one each. They probably couldn't even afford to control two.
"Incomparable."
Li Xi offered the most fitting evaluation. Sports cars, villas, private yachts, and private jets paled in comparison. Li Xi estimated that these three floating islands were about the size of a small town, easily capable of housing tens of thousands of people.
This was the ultimate goal for a man!!!
He truly admired the people who built these three floating islands. Li Xi speculated that these three floating islands might have other purposes, such as fighting against gods?
Any ruler with ambition could tolerate a host of self-important gods standing above their head.
Philin, as if she were home, continuously introduced Li Xi to everything about Aisinger, especially focusing on the floating island controlled by the royal family, even vividly describing the architecture on it.
With a distinguished identity, close ties to S-class mercenaries, the crest of the Black and White Bears, and detailed knowledge of the royal floating island, Philin's identity was implicitly revealed. However, Li Xi feigned ignorance, acting as if he didn't know even if he did.
