Chapter 5239: Inheritance Trial
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, these inheritances were not given to them for free.
Everything was determined by their strength; the stronger their abilities, the more powerful the inheritances they could obtain.
Among the ten thousand inheritances within the city, not all were as potent as the one Hu Qing had received; there were distinctions in strength.
They were categorized from A to D, representing different levels of supreme technique inheritances.
Hu Qing had once mentioned that the inheritance he had received was unparalleled, evidently distinct from these inheritances.
Because these inheritances were all abridged versions, the A-ranked inheritances numbered a hundred, and all of these hundred were identical.
Seeing this, Jian Wushuang felt disheartened.
If it wasn’t a supreme technique perfectly suited for him, he would rather not practice it. It would be a waste of precious resources and energy. The improvements he could gain would probably be limited.
If he were lucky, and the A-ranked inheritance happened to be a swordsmanship one, that would be ideal.
But the chance of that happening was minuscule; Jian Wushuang didn’t even dare to entertain the thought.
Based on his estimation, this inheritance was likely a more generic one, applicable to all the different origin source of Dao.
This approach maximized enhancing everyone’s combat abilities.
There were 100 A-ranked inheritances, 1,000 B-ranked ones, 3,900 C-ranked ones, and the remaining 6,000 were all D-ranked inheritances.
Except for Jian Wushuang, everyone else was exhilarated. Looking at the ghostly figures outside the city, the gleam in their eyes was even more terrifying than the crimson eyes of those creatures outside.
Within the rules, it was mentioned that these eerie beings did indeed resemble the ghosts and monsters from Emperor Yun’s time, but these eerie beings had another name.
“Forbidden Demon Lord!”
“Also known as Devouring Demon.”
A tremor ran through Jian Wushuangs heart. Devouring?
Could it be?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Jian Wushuang became, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.
If it was true, then there would be no place for him in the Qishen Temple anymore.
But then, he thought again. He was still fine now, and he had devoured quite a few Grand Yan Immortals already, yet the Qishen Temple had not made a
move against him!
Thinking of this, Jian Wushuang finally managed to calm down.
He continued to read the rules.
Inheritance Trial, obtaining an A-grade inheritance required 100,000 treasure points.
B-grade required 10,000.
C-grade required 1,000.
D-grade required 100.
On this point, Jian Wushuang agreed. After all, he had only received 1,000 treasure points for ranking 21st, while Hu Qing, who ranked 1st, had only 10,000.
He didn’t know how the Qishen Temple converted these points, but he guessed that in the entire Original Universe, perhaps only Hu Qing could exchange for an A-grade inheritance.
However, having just accepted the unique inheritance, the ‘Samsara% he probably wouldn’t be foolish enough to directly accept an A-grade inheritance now.
Besides inheritances, there were also treasures available for exchange.
On his identity token, there was a dazzling array of options!
To exchange for treasures, one needed to enter the city lord’s mansion within the city. According to Jian Wushuangs calculation, roughly 1,000 points equaled a peak-level treasure.
The inheritance left behind by the ancient Qishen Temple was itself a vast treasure trove.
They probably wouldn’t leave behind ordinary treasures.
The items collected by the Qishen Temple were all extraordinary treasures, many of which were unique and even included several treasure sets.
Jian Wushuang had 1,000 treasure points. That meant he could exchange for 1,000 items.
As he scrolled down, Jian Wushuang quickly dismissed his earlier naive idea. Because there were even Innate Treasures and even Eternal Treasures!
“Eightfold Cloud Dragon Seal!”
A simplified version of the Eternal Treasure, the Emperor could almost unleash its full power, but it required a million treasure points.
A seal!
That wouldn’t do, it didn’t suit him.
Although it was a simplified version of the Eternal Treasure, its power surpassed countless Innate Treasures.
If he could obtain it, Jian Wushuang decided to exchange for this treasure first.
He had heard that there was only one Eternal Treasure in the entire Original Universe, a mighty treasure that even the Ultimate Emperor did not possess!
Jian Wushuangs eyes gleamed with greed, but he still searched for a divine sword that suited him.
Ever since the huge battle in the Great Desolate Wilderness, after he lost his sword, he hadn’t had a suitable weapon.
The divine sword he obtained from Emperor MO Long could be used, but his strength had increased too rapidly recently. That precious longsword had quickly become obsolete.
When fighting against opponents at the level of Dao Lords, ordinary
treasures, even peak-level treasures, could shatter during battle.
Innate Treasures were their divine weapons.
Take, for example, the Demonic Annihilation Armor he wore. This top-grade innate treasure battle armor was obtained from MO Long. Its power was extremely strong, but even now he couldn’t unleash all of its power.
During the battle with Dao Lord Leng Shuang, he had resisted the ice toughness on the ice crystal phoenix. Without the Demonic Annihilation Armor, he would have been severely injured at least. But because of the battle armor, the power of the ice blade was weakened by 99 percent. The last bit of power that fell on him was counteracted by the inner armor.
Now, all the treasures on Jian Wushuangs body were defensive treasures.
Outside, there was the Demonic Annihilation Armor, capable of neutralizing 99 percent of external attacks, and its effects could stack; each repeated move would be weakened by 99 percent.
Leng Shuang Dao Lord’s ice crystal phoenix, despite its attacks being singular and of consistent strength, couldn’t pose a threat to Jian Wushuang. It merely served as a distraction.
Apart from the external armor, there was internal protection for the divine body. Jian Wushuang, already formidable, was further bolstered by the weakened 90 percent power of the internal armor. Even if someone managed to penetrate the external armor, they couldn’t harm his divine body.
After witnessing Wan Xing’s strength firsthand, Jian Wushuang believed that only Wan Xing and Hu Qing could break his defense.
Currently, only a half-step Emperor could threaten him. Opponents at the level of Dao Lord found it difficult to breach his defenses. Especially someone like Dao Lord Xue Yue, lacking sufficiently powerful singular techniques, couldn’t necessarily kill him even in direct combat.
And this was just regarding his divine body.
To break his origin source Great Dao, one had to first pierce his divine body. Those capable of doing so weren’t just half-step Emperors; they were top-notch experts rivaling half-step Emperors.
Additionally, he had an Innate Treasure guarding his origin source.
Jian Wushuang was extremely confident in his defense, all thanks to God-Emperor MO Long.
Aside from the replica of the Eternal Treasures to choose from, he also saw several top-grade Innate Treasures, each valued around 100,000 Treasure Points. Regrettably, none of them were swords.
Among the top-grade Innate Treasures, there was a divine sword that suited him perfectly. However, it required 5,000 treasure points, an amount he still couldn’t afford.
Treasure points could be obtained by killing the devouring demons outside the city.
As Jian Wushuang had guessed, they were indeed here to defend the city. However, the rewards far exceeded his expectations.
Devour Demon Lords!
Unlimited in number!
Attacking Qiuhuang City 19 times, guarding against one wave would yield a substantial amount of treasure points. If they managed to defend against all waves, they would receive special rewards.
At present, all the Forbidden Demon Lords outside the city had retreated. Jian
Wushuang was unaware of how powerful each wave was.
Just judging from the military strength on the city walls, it would be an achievement to survive, let alone endure until the end.
The special rewards weren’t specified, but they were definitely extraordinary. Jian Wushuang was filled with anticipation for the Qishen Temple now.
Not to mention the special rewards, the treasures available for exchange on paper alone made everyone excited.
Especially among the rare treasures, many were valuable to Emperors.
Even Emperors were deeply tempted. Furthermore, these treasures were unavailable outside; they could only be obtained within the Qishen Temple..
