Due to the looming threat, various races have invested heavily in the study of Chimeras. This investment often comes at the cost of blood and lives, as people continuously experiment with different Chimeras to understand their forms and behaviors. The primary focus remains on researching how to kill Chimeras, leading to the compilation of extensive data. This information is considered the most valuable among various races and factions, and it is widely circulated in this world. To acquire different types of information, everyone is willing to exchange their own data, as the grievances between races and factions seem trivial in the face of the Chimera threat.
Mo Wen faced a book over two feet thick, which was the Chimera Compendium given to him by Old Lu. It was said to be compiled by a top-tier faction that gathered information from various races and powers. From this book, Mo Wen learned that through continuous research, known Chimeras have been roughly categorized into six levels: Wandering, Grievous, Descending, Fierce, Refined, and Monstrous. Each level is further divided into four subcategories: White, Black, Red, and Blood. Unlike Beasts, which are classified by combat power, Chimeras are ranked by their danger levels; the higher the danger level, the higher the classification. In a way, this can also be understood as a measure of a Chimera's combat capability since those with lower combat power pose little threat.
Additionally, Chimeras can be divided into two major categories: tangible and intangible. However, the book also notes that there are countless Chimeras in existence, and what is included in this compendium represents only a small fraction of them. Not only are there many types of Chimeras, but some can also mutate into new forms. If the Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram contains about fifty percent of all beast species in the world, then the Chimera Compendium holds less than ten percent of all known Chimeras. As Mo Wen read this description, he felt a chill run down his spine; there could be over a hundred thousand types of Chimeras described in this book alone. If this represents less than ten percent, how many types must exist in total? He continued to consult Old Lu while perusing the book.
"Trusting books too much is worse than having none at all," Old Lu said. "While the world is full of wonders, it ultimately adheres to one rule: the more powerful something is, the fewer there are. The most numerous beings tend to be those with lower strength. It’s likely that one might go their whole life without encountering something truly powerful—like a Divine Beast. Even I have lived for many years without seeing one." Hearing this from Old Lu gave Mo Wen some reassurance. As he looked at the descriptions of Chimeras in the book, he felt small for the first time; some of these Chimeras could wreak havoc instantly upon appearing, while at his current normal speed, he could only cover ten Bird Journeys in a day.
Of course, the purpose of compiling this book was not merely to instill fear; its main goal was to teach people how to deal with these Chimeras. For various races, Chimeras represent both a threat and a resource. Certain parts of Chimeras or their byproducts are among the finest materials in existence for crafting weapons or medicines or can directly aid in cultivation. For instance, the Red Spirit Fruit that Mo Wen had previously consumed was a product of the Chimera known as Red Tree. For those cultivators who specialize in Soul Law, Chimeras hold an irresistible allure because many of their attacks fall under Soul Attack. Moreover, every Chimera possesses Chi Jing, which is highly sought after by soul-refining cultivators; when processed properly, Chi Jing can be absorbed by cultivators to enhance their Shen Hun.
