This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 696: Chapter 25 The Plight of the Human Race_2

This ethereal crystal plaque, named the Identity Imprint, is essentially a Spirit Art developed by the Spiritual Cultivators of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Its three functions all have extremely important practical significance, especially the ability to record combat achievements.

After all, battle merits are the most important reward for Cultivators slaying demons, as well as a significant motivation for Cultivators to risk life and death to enter the battlefield outside the domain.

However, Cultivators often act alone, and when it comes to tallying battle merits, how to count, as well as potential issues of overreporting and false reporting, are problems that must be addressed.

Initially, on the Human Race side, the method of counting involved Cultivators retrieving and bringing back the eyeballs of the slain Demon Race members as proof after killing them.

But later on, the Human Race’s great Cultivators discovered that in many cases, battles between Cultivators and demons often resulted in life-and-death struggles, where it was impossible to hold back, making it unfeasible to leave behind a demon corpse in its entirety.

Especially for Dharma Cultivators, one Heavenly Thunder strike could turn a demon directly into ashes; let alone eyeballs, not even a hint of hair would remain, so wouldn’t killing the demon be in vain?

And if Cultivators were to hold back in order to leave the demon’s body intact, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to courting death.

Moreover, in many instances, Cultivators often didn’t have time to clean up the battlefield and had to leave quickly.
