Chapter 3730

【Teleportation completed, you have returned to the Reincarnation Paradise.】

The spatial fluctuations disappeared. Su Xiao checked the remaining stay time. He could still stay in the Reincarnation Paradise for 8 hours and 56 minutes before being teleported to the Eternal Light World. It seems that the higher the brand level, the earlier one can know what mission world one is about to enter.

Su Xiao checked the existing Soul Coins. After buying "Technique Sublimation·Ultimate Blade" before, there were 87,800 points left. It seemed like a lot, but in fact, it was not enough for preparation.

There were still 16 ordinary Origin Stones left. Although they could still be used to enhance Origin-grade equipment in the future, it was more important to obtain more Soul Coins now. If he couldn't survive the Eternal Light World, it would be meaningless to keep more ordinary Origin Stones.

The sale of the Origin Stones went very smoothly. Not long after, Benny sold these Origin Stones in the trading market, each priced at 5,160 Soul Coins. This was the market price for today, and many people were buying them.

The Soul Coins held reached 170,360. If it were in the past, it would definitely be used to improve abilities, but this time it was different. Coping with the Eternal Light World, Su Xiao could not guarantee a survival rate of over 80%; in fact, he didn't even have 30%. But even so, he didn't feel pessimistic. On the contrary, his state was very good, better than ever before.

With sufficient "Fire Gold" and "Crystal Fat" available, the cost of manufacturing a "Sun Holy Sword" was 30,000 Soul Coins. With the alchemy laboratory in the exclusive room, manufacturing one in 1 hour was more than enough.

Su Xiao decided to manufacture four "Sun Holy Swords" to cope with various situations. He walked into the alchemy laboratory, first using 80,000 Soul Coins as the cost to condense four full-rating Sun Stones through the 【Sun Disk】, and then set about manufacturing the Blazing Sun's Wrath·Apollo.

One hour later, the first "Sun Holy Sword" was manufactured. Compared to the initial version of the "Sun Holy Sword," the current improved version of the "Sun Holy Sword" was more stable. Inside the glass column, pale golden solution soaked one walnut-sized Apollo after another. Each compressed Apollo emitted a faint golden light.

It didn't take four hours. With the alchemy laboratory in the exclusive room, Su Xiao completed the manufacturing of all "Sun Holy Swords" in three-plus hours. Afterward, after leaving 5,000 Soul Coins, he used all the remaining Soul Coins to exchange for potion materials, even using up the material exchange quota for this time.

The efficiency of preparing recovery potions was much faster. If he went to the trading market to buy recovery potions, with Su Xiao's current physique, potions that had a good recovery effect on him were very expensive. And he himself exchanged materials to prepare them, preparing a full 210 bottles of 【Vitality Stock Solution】.

【Vitality Stock Solution (Perfect)】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise·Holy Flame Pharmacist

Quality: Immortal-grade·Rare

Type: Recovery item.

Effect: After drinking, it can rapidly restore 45% of health, and restore 300 health points every second thereafter. This effect lasts for 180 seconds.

Perfect Grade Bonus: After drinking, significantly reduce potion resistance.

Rating: 1,490 points (Holy Spirit-grade quality potion rating is 1,000～1,500 points)

Introduction: To be determined (Hunter can freely formulate)

Price: To be determined (Hunter can freely formulate)

The original perfect bonus was that each drink permanently increased a small amount of health. But everything had a limit. After the previous perfect bonus was upgraded to the limit, Su Xiao improved it.

And the so-called "significantly reduce potion resistance after drinking" was to shorten the interval between two drinks. Potion resistance was something that would temporarily increase when drinking 99% of recovery potions. When potion resistance was higher than 10 points, the effect of drinking recovery potions would decrease by at least 20%. And when potion resistance was temporarily increased to 30 points, the effect of drinking recovery potions would decrease by at least 90%.

Don't look at it only restoring 45% of health, but this effect was already very good. And this was the result Su Xiao achieved after upgrading 【Vitality Stock Solution】 many times.

In the view of Qiyuezhe with health below 450,000 points, this potion could rapidly restore 99% of health. As for why it couldn't restore 100%, except for the 【Honor Recovery Potion】 of the Reincarnation Paradise, few recovery potions could achieve this effect. Su Xiao could indeed prepare a big medicine that restored 100%, but the gain was not worth the loss. The cost of a big medicine that restored 100% was several times that of a potion that restored 99%.

Su Xiao put all 【Vitality Stock Solution】 into the team storage space. And why he had to prepare more than 200 bottles was both for the sake of safety and for the convenience of preparation. He prepared a large jar at a time and then divided it into more than 200 bottles.

Although there was a higher "Miracle" grade suffix, even with Su Xiao's current pharmacy level, he could at most stabilize the "Perfect" grade. To prepare a "Miracle" grade potion, some luck factor was still needed, especially for recovery potions. The "Miracle" grade of this thing was exceptionally difficult to achieve. The ingredients were too active, not as stable as permanent buff potions.

After doing this, Su Xiao came to the room where the Awakening Monument was placed, pressed one hand on it, and began to use the remaining 42 Law-Breaking skill points to improve the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability. After all, the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability was only at Lv. 20 now and urgently needed to be improved.

【Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 62.】

【Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying: Lv. 62 (Active/Passive Skill)】

Usage condition: After opening the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability, consume 500 mana points per minute.

Active effect: Each melee attack will burn 1,980 mana points of the enemy (increased by 420 points) and cause true damage equal to 1.8 times the burned mana (base 3,564 true damage + Zhan Long Shan bonus 30% + Blue Shadow King bonus 30% + Swift Shadow bonus 40% = 7,128 true damage). The enemy will suffer intense pain after mana burning.

Defensive form: Proud Song (Active), can generate crystals of any form to defend against enemy attacks. Crystal strength is directly proportional to the mana consumed. The single mana consumption limit is 9,500 points (increased by 1,500 points limit), crystal layer defense grade +5 (increased by 3).

Combat form: Shock Blast (Active), immediately consume 20% of maximum mana to cause a Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy shock blast effect centered on you, causing all enemies within 1000 meters around you to enter a state of body energy disorder, thereby entering a "silence" state where active skills cannot be used for the next 5 seconds.

Hint: The cooldown of this ability is 6 hours.

The Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability was one of Su Xiao's main abilities. To be precise, his core abilities were actually only two: Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying and Blade Technique Grandmaster. In the past, the true damage of the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability was more like a powerful incidental damage. But after being upgraded to the late stage, the 7,128 true damage caused in a single hit was simply a nightmare for enemies.

The two forms of Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying, the defensive form had long been fixed as Proud Song. This was because the Proud Song ability was indeed very suitable for Su Xiao. As for why the combat form ability had always been changed, this was related to compatibility.

This time's combat form·Shock Blast ability, as it stands now, was still relatively practical. Previously, this ability only targeted spellcasters, but now it was effective against all types of enemies.

If fighting an enemy like the Old Beast King, the Shock Blast ability was useless. The Old Beast King basically just used basic attacks. The other party being unable to use active abilities for 5 seconds was of no consequence.

But if fighting enemies like the Abyss Archbishop, the Supreme Insect, or the Sun Bird·Taihakak, then this Shock Blast ability was quite useful and could potentially be a divine skill to turn defeat into victory.

Su Xiao drew Zhan Long Shan. Zhan Long Shan had completed its upgrade, reaching the limit-breaking enhancement +16, which also added half a point of winning percentage for going to the Eternal Light World.

【Zhan Long Shan +16 (Sharpness Value 0%)】

Origin: Law-Breaking Shadow

Quality: Origin-grade.

Category: Long blade.

Durability: 790/790 points (increased by 80+100 points).

Attack power: 639～748 (lower limit increased by 45 points, upper limit increased by 50 points).

Equipment requirement: Law-Breaking Shadow.

Basic bonus: True damage caused by Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy increased by 30%.

Supreme Sharpness Effect 1: Sharpness +1062 points.

Supreme Sharpness Effect 2: Magic Blade (Core·Active)...

Supreme Sharpness Effect 3: Shadow·Magic Blade (Core·Passive)...

Enhancement effect:

+5 additional effect: Weapon toughness permanently +8 points.

+8 additional effect: Weapon toughness permanently +15 points.

+10 additional effect: Weapon attack power lower limit permanently increased by 35 points.

+12 additional effect: Weapon maximum penetration permanently increased by 33%.

+13 additional effect: Heavy Armor Cutter (significantly strengthens slashing and penetration against armor).

+14 additional effect: Limit Sharpness·Secondary Enhancement (this characteristic will bring huge gains to weapon slashing, such as slashing enemy bodies, etc.).

+15 additional effect: Weapon durability permanently +100 points.

+16 additional effect: Transcendence Blade (damage caused by this weapon ignores all damage exemption and reduction effects).

Hint: This is a permanent gain obtained by breaking through the limit enhancement level, possessing high priority.

Inlay effect: 0/3 pieces.

Rating: 3000++++++++++ (Origin-grade equipment rating is 1,500～3,000 points).

Introduction: Slay gods and demons, slash souls and kill evil, seal demons in the blade, slash all that is immortal!

Zhan Long Shan's upgrade was very large. In Su Xiao's view, the newly increased 180 points of durability were particularly critical. After he mastered the perfect parry ability, Zhan Long Shan would face greater tests when facing enemies.

And the Transcendence Blade obtained by enhancement +16 was very useful when fighting powerhouses. In the previous world, when fighting the Old Beast King, the other party reduced physical damage by 12% and energy damage by 15.5%. This was indeed not very high, but this was because the Old Beast King was too old. When fighting the Supreme Insect, the Abyss Eldest Daughter, or the Eternal God, it was not this situation.

Supreme Insect: Reduces physical characteristic damage by 25%, reduces energy characteristic damage by 30%.

Abyss Eldest Daughter: Reduces physical characteristic damage by 27%, reduces light-type damage by 75%, reduces dark-type damage by 75%, reduces ice-type damage by 90%.

Eternal God: Reduces physical characteristic damage by 30%, reduces energy characteristic damage by 36%.

By comparing the abilities of these powerhouses, Zhan Long Shan's new characteristic was quite useful.

Glancing at the remaining stay time, there were three hours left. Just then, a message appeared in the contact list. It was Solomon. He was ready and asked Su Xiao to send a team invitation. In this way, there was no need to use tracking items, and Solomon would enter the same world as Su Xiao.

After weighing it, Su Xiao contacted Caesar to ask if the other party was interested in the Eternal Light World. The result was as expected. In the video, Caesar's head shook like a rattle. However, when Su Xiao mentioned that there were treasure vaults left by past Law-Breakers in the Eternal Light World, some of which were so old they had been forgotten and hidden in some corner of the Eternal Light World, Caesar hesitated. Finally, Caesar gritted his teeth and decided to go to the Eternal Light World to take a look.

Caesar did not join the team. He had his own unique way of entering the Eternal Light World. Besides, the Eternal Light World was not a world that was difficult to enter. There was a one-way spatial ban there. There were many ways to enter that world, but few people would take the initiative to go there.

Caesar not only agreed to go to the Eternal Light World together but also wanted to come and talk to Su Xiao in person. This made Su Xiao feel puzzled, until Caesar came, and he understood what was going on.

"My dear friend, look at this."

Caesar mysteriously took out a photo. In the photo was a ruined hall reflected in daylight. The ceiling part of the hall was empty as if it had melted, and the furnishings in the hall were also severely weathered. Some rock reliefs had a certain degree of melting traces, just like a candle that had encountered heat. Further down was a layer of translucent light film, blocking the daylight.

On the throne in the ruined hall sat a skeleton. This skeleton wore an iron-black crown on its head. What was truly astonishing was that this crown was inlaid with more than a dozen "Original Fragments." Not only that, located around this throne and skeleton were piles of Soul Crystals, Eternal-grade weapons, Soul Coins, etc., piled up a full layer, submerging to the skeleton's knees.

In the photo, besides hard currency resources, there were also many rare treasures. Seeing such a scene, even an absolute powerhouse would be moved.

What was even more intriguing was that there were also four tall Undead Guards in the photo. From the shooting angle and the fresh blood on the Undead Guards' weapons, the photographer himself was already in dire straits.

"This is... the legendary Monarch's Treasure?"

Su Xiao looked at Caesar, and Caesar smiled with a thief's eyes, tacitly agreeing with this conjecture.

"So to speak, the Monarch's Treasure has appeared in the Eternal Light World?"

Su Xiao placed the photo in his hand on the tea table, his index finger tapping on it lightly.

"Yes, this news spread a few days ago."

Caesar smiled even more cunningly. That look clearly meant: 'My dear friend, you understand.'

"..."

Su Xiao naturally understood. He understood it so well that he was familiar with the road because he had used this trick before. Last time he went to the Dead Silence City, he was not very confident, so he released the fake news that the Black Maple tree seed appeared in the Dead Silence City. Although he later really found a withered Black Maple tree in the Dead Silence City, this was purely accidental.

Releasing fake news that time attracted many Qiyuezhe and Void races, or people from Transcendence·Native Worlds. After these people entered the Dead Silence City, they significantly attracted the attention of the Dead People, reducing the risk Su Xiao had to bear.

Su Xiao being able to come out of the Dead Silence City alive had a lot to do with this matter. Therefore, this "Monarch's Treasure" made him smell a familiar scent, so familiar that it was almost exactly the same as the hand he had played back then.

Someone was forced to enter the Eternal Light World, so they played such a hand to minimize the risk after entering the Eternal Light World. Thinking of this, Su Xiao was sure of one point: he would not be alone this time going to the Eternal Light World. The old schemer who prepared this "Monarch's Treasure" must be guarded against more.

When the entry time was one hour left, a series of hints appeared one after another.

【Hint: Detected that the Hunter is about to enter a new world progression, the "Hunter List·Blood Covenant" you hold is already in a pending activation state.】

【Bounty has been activated...】

【Your current Space-Time Power: 5,010 ounces.】

【You are about to enter the Eternal Light World.】

【According to various information sources, judging among the things related to you...】

【Judgment completed, you can bounty the following matters through the "Hunter List·Blood Covenant".】

1. Molten Giant: Find the Molten Giant and successfully rescue it (need to pay a bounty deposit of 300～500 ounces of Space-Time Power to activate this bounty).

2. Dead Silence Extinction: Obtain the Dead Silence Extinction·Body (need to pay a bounty deposit of 800～1,000 ounces of Space-Time Power to activate this bounty).

3. Origin Stone·World: Find an Origin Stone·World (Fragment) (need to pay a bounty deposit of 800～1,500 ounces of Space-Time Power to activate this bounty).

4. Apostle's Game: Become the winner in the game with the Eyeless Apostle (need to pay a bounty deposit of 600～1,200 ounces of Space-Time Power to activate this bounty).

5. Night Curtain: Let the night curtain briefly descend on the Eternal Light World (need to pay a bounty deposit of 10 ounces of Space-Time Power to activate this bounty. Because the difficulty of this bounty is extremely high, after completion, you will receive a 500-fold additional bounty).

Hint: The amount of bounty deposit does not represent the danger level of the corresponding matter, as well as the target's combat power, etc. This bounty deposit is given according to the comprehensive situation.

Su Xiao was naturally no stranger to the rules of the "Bounty List·Blood Covenant." After completion, one would obtain a five-fold return including the bounty deposit, which meant a net profit of four times.

Su Xiao didn't hesitate much and maxed out the first four types of bounties, investing a total of 4,200 ounces of Space-Time Power. The reason was that going to the Eternal Light World this time, he had to either win completely or die; there was no room for maneuver. Those world-destroying existences and Abyss-nourishing creatures couldn't wait to swallow him alive, so naturally, there was no room for maneuver.

As for the fifth type of bounty, it was only 10 ounces of Space-Time Power, so it wouldn't matter if he lost it. If he succeeded by chance, it would be a huge profit.

【Hint: Detected that the Eternal Light World you are about to enter is directly related to your profession inheritance.】

【Checking...】

【Check completed. Because of your unique connection with the Eternal Light World, you can choose one of the following authorities.】

1. World Attachment (Passive): You will receive extra attention from the Eternal Light World (High return/High risk).

2. Invitation (Authority): Invite 8～10 specified targets to go to the Eternal Light World with you to eliminate strong enemies, or conduct a random invitation. Random invitation will invite more Qiyuezhe, Battle Angels, Death Rangers, Executioners, etc., from outside this paradise faction.

Seeing this choice, Su Xiao immediately ignored choice 1. He didn't want the Eternal Light World to be attached to him at all. Just dealing with those powerful world-destroying existences and Abyss-nourishing creatures was hard enough. If he were given extra attention by the Eternal Light World, he would basically not be far from sudden death.

Besides, there were quite a few old friends in the Eternal Light World, such as the World-Eater, the Silver Queen, the Pain Queen, the Star-Parasite Crab, and the Dark-Eater. He absolutely could not increase the difficulty, even if the corresponding return was higher.

However, this invitation authority was quite good. Su Xiao immediately chose to specify an invitation and then invited the Priest.

【Hint: The target you invited will enter the Eternal Light World during this world progression and cannot be invited.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao felt slightly surprised. Immediately, he knew who had schemed the "Monarch's Treasure" matter.

【Hint: You have given up the specified invitation and will change to a random invitation.】

【Randomizing...】

【Randomization completed. 80～100 Qiyuezhe, Battle Angels, Death Rangers, Executioners, etc., will be randomly and forcibly invited from the Apocalypse Paradise, Death Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Holy Domain Paradise as a quota filler for this world progression.】

【Warning: Apocalypse Paradise has terminated this forced invitation.】

【Warning: Death Paradise has terminated this forced invitation.】

【Warning: Holy Light Paradise has terminated this forced invitation.】

【Warning: Holy Domain Paradise has terminated this forced invitation.】

【Reincarnation Paradise has issued a notarization audit to the Tree of Void.】

【Hint (Tree of Void): Detected that this notarization meets the world opening specifications of Initial Article 185357, and will further notarize the upper limit of the quota for this world progression.】

【Hint (Tree of Void): The upper limit of the quota for this world progression has been increased to 200, but because the Eternal Light World entered is too dangerous, the initial teleportation point for all entrants this time, except for Law-Breaking Shadow·Kukulin·Bai Ye, is the "Shelter City" within the Eternal Light World.】

【Hint (Tree of Void): Your entry position is randomly selected.】

【Hint (Reincarnation Paradise): Interfering...】

【Your entry position is still randomly selected, but you can formulate a follower quota and set its initial location to the "Shelter City." Therefore, using this follower as a directional coordinate, you can find the direction of the "Shelter City" faster.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao didn't think too much and chose Benny. The reason was that Benny had a huge disadvantage going to the Eternal Light World, without the conditions for traveling around the world, and Benny was good at negotiating. Letting her explore the situation in the "Shelter City" first was the best choice.

【You have set the initial teleportation point of follower·Benny to the "Shelter City." Follower·Bubutney, follower·Amu, and follower·Baha will arrive in the Eternal Light World at the same location as you.】

【Teleportation begins, destination: Eternal Light World (Calamity Cage)!】
