Chapter 1316: Falsification
After standing still for a while dazed, Jiang Yi suddenly had a thought. He retrieved that booklet again and took out some paper and ink to translate the book. He was not intending to cultivate this technique, but he figured that if he met a fool, he could actually use this booklet to get some divine roots.
The last time, that was how he had been fooled in the south city. He had used a bunch of things and fifteen divine roots to exchange for a useless Fire-Cultivating Dao. If it wasn’t for his ninth star sphere that suddenly could absorb flames, he would have lost heavily. This Mighty G.o.d Technique sounded very powerful. If he went back and removed the words that stated it was the special technique only the Mighty G.o.d Race could use, he could probably get some divine roots from selling it.
Jiang Yi sat in the Library Pavilion for another ten hours as he translated the book word for word. After he had finished, he stood up excitedly. This ‘Mighty G.o.d Technique’ was indeed a very special mystical ability; it could definitely fetch a high price!
According to the description, cultivating the Mighty G.o.d Technique would create a special Power of Heaven and Earth that could augment one’s body and strength. The first stage of the Mighty G.o.d Technique could increase one’s might by a hundred-fold, the second stage a thousand-fold, and the third stage ten-thousand-fold. However, this Power of Heaven and Earth could only augment one’s strength temporarily. With each use, the usage time would become shorter and shorter. After using this, one’s body would become extremely weak; one would not be able to use his martial arts for a short period. This was also the only flaw of the Mighty G.o.d Technique.
“d.a.m.n, the third stage could increase my body’s strength and energy ten-thousand-fold? How terrifying can this be?!”
Jiang Yi was stunned; this Mighty G.o.d Race was a little too perverse. Even for someone with his level of might—if his strength increased by ten-thousand-fold, even a Demon-Killing Battle King wearing medial-grade divine artifact battle armor could be smashed to death with one strike, right?
“Unfortunately, other races cannot cultivate this. If not, this mystical ability secret art could change the world.”
Jiang Yi sighed slightly. Out of curiosity, he started to find information regarding the Mighty G.o.d Race in the Library Pavilion. This time, he found the information easily. Furthermore, there were a few books that all mentioned the Mighty G.o.d Race.
“The Primordial Age was the most ancient time of the Higher Domain? It was a few million Higher Domain-years ago? Exactly how long ago was this? Anything within a million years was called the Ancient Age? Anything from ten thousand years ago to a hundred thousand years ago was called the Primitive Age?”
Jiang Yi read for a while and finally had some sort of understanding of the Higher Domain. He thought of the Chaos Beasts, and his heart shuddered. The Chaos Beasts seemed to be aligned with the Primitive, Ancient, and Primordial time frames, right? Could it be that Primordial-Grade Chaos Beasts were born during the Primordial Age?
“Chaos Beasts that were born a few million years ago; and this is referring to the Higher Domain’s concept of time. How powerful are the Primordial-Grade Chaos Beasts?”
Jiang Yi did not dare to imagine. However, after he thought about how it took only one Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast for one to be promoted directly to a Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d, Jiang Yi relaxed slightly. Even the Divine Eagle City Demon-Killing Pavilion Lord was a peak-stage Demon-Killing Battle King; it was evident how powerful Demon-Killing Battle G.o.ds were.
Jiang Yi continued to research the Mighty G.o.d Race. This race was indeed an extremely powerful race during the Primordial Age. It had also ruled over a huge range of domains and was feared throughout the entire Higher Domain. Its domination lasted for a thousand years.
However, as this race was too overbearing, it had ultimately been annihilated by the combined might of a few hundred races. Only one family was left alive. However, during the Ancient Age, this family was then eradicated; and the Mighty G.o.d Race disappeared within the long rivers of history.
The information also wrote clearly the lethality of the Mighty G.o.d Technique. The top-notch formidable martial artists of the Mighty G.o.d Race back then were unrivaled. When they used the Power of Heaven and Earth, all who faced them were basically courting their deaths. Their enemies could only wait for their Power of Heaven and Earth to be exhausted and when the Mighty G.o.d Race members had transformed into their weak and feeble state before they would surge forward and kill the Mighty G.o.d Race formidable martial artists.
“After such a long time, probably many people had forgotten the Mighty G.o.d Race, right? This secret manual is so overbearing; I can possibly get a few thousand divine roots from it!’
Jiang Yi silently nodded. Divine roots were the same as battle merits and could be used to purchase weapons and armor, mystical abilities, and secret arts. It can also be used to enter special mystic realms to realize heaven and earth nomological mystical abilities. Jiang Yi desperately needed to raise his strength at this moment. If not, he would not dare to venture out of the Divine Eagle Tribe. Hence, he could only think of a way to deceive others and lie to them.
Previously, he had been against swindling. However, at the moment, he had been forced to his wits’ end; he had no other option.
Jiang Yi sighed as he thought of a plan and started to look for something else in the Library Pavilion. After one hour, he finally found the book he needed. That was a book on how to authenticate whether something was real or not. The book recorded many ways to make a fake.
After reading for two hours, Jiang Yi walked out of the Library Pavilion and went to another side hall. That was a place that sold all sorts of items. Energy elixirs, recuperation elixirs, clothes, and all sorts of stuff could be purchased there.
Jiang Yi was prepared to make a fake book and to create a fake ultimate mystical ability to go and cheat someone of his divine roots!
How many divine roots Jiang Yi could get his hands on depended on how well his forgery was. This ‘Mighty G.o.d Technique’ was a very overbearing cultivation technique. As long as his forgery was still pa.s.sable, he could definitely get a good price for it. Jiang Yi figured he could maybe get tens of thousands of divine roots. At that time, he would be able to buy powerful mystical abilities to boost his strength.
As for what might happen if someone realized it was a fake and pursued him?
Jiang Yi was not worried at all. In that nameless castle in the south city, probably many people were selling fakes, right? Everyone traded based on their own judgment; even if they made a wrong call, they could not blame it on anyone. Jiang Yi himself had bought a ‘Fire-Cultivating Dao’—a useless book, but he also didn’t go and find trouble with the seller.
Furthermore… so what if someone wanted to find trouble with him? Fighting was restricted within the tribe; anyone who disobeyed would be killed by the Earth Emanations Army. Jiang Yi had already offended the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan; he didn’t mind having a few more enemies.
After looking around in the Sundry Goods Hall, Jiang Yi suppressed his heartache and used two hundred divine roots to buy two pieces of rare Chaos Beast leather. One had to spend money to make money. For a book that contained a powerful cultivation technique, one could not use ordinary paper to write it in. After all, over time, the paper would age; and the words would definitely become blurry and be easily destroyed.
Jiang Yi also spent on many miscellaneous items. He spent in total more than three hundred divine roots; he was really feeling the pinch. If the fake book could not be sold, Jiang Yi would have suffered immensely.
After returning to his pavilion, Jiang Yi activated the restrictions and started his grand forgery plan.
First, he altered the name of the Mighty G.o.d Technique to something very intimidating. He called it the Wind Thearch Technique. The Power of Heaven and Earth that could be cultivated was also changed into the Wind G.o.d Immortal Power. This Wind G.o.d Immortal Power could raise one’s defensive abilities and speed.
Besides this, Jiang Yi did not change a word. The cultivation method was exactly the same. If someone tried to cultivate this cultivation technique, it would be powerful beyond imagine. After Jiang Yi altered it, he read it a few times; and even he himself started to believe that this was really a heaven-defying mystical ability secret art.
After confirming the cultivation technique, Jiang Yi retrieved a very special ink and brush and started to carve the cultivation technique on the Chaos Beast leather. Jiang Yi was the Art Thearch; his artistic skills were exceptional while his words were extremely pretty and life-like.
Jiang Yi also purposely injected a random dao pattern presence in the words; from one look people would feel that these words carried something profound.
After he had carved the cultivation technique on the leather, Jiang Yi then took out a special yellow powder. This powder was actually a poison; to refine poisonous creatures, this poison was indispensable.
The book about fakes that Jiang Yi had consulted had mentioned many times that this poison could make leather turn yellow and old in a short time. Jiang Yi sprinkled some poison on the Chaos Beast leather. Indeed, after not too long, the yellow powder slowly disappeared; and the Chaos Beast leather seemed to have aged. From afar, it felt as if this leather had been in existence for ages.
Jiang Yi did not carve the entire cultivation technique on one Chaos Beast leather book but had split the cultivation technique into two parts. This was also the reason why he had bought two Chaos Beast leather pieces. The first part could be given to all to see, but without the second part, this cultivation technique could not be mastered. If not, if everyone could see the entire thing and took the opportunity to memorize it, Jiang Yi would not be able to sell it anymore!
After busying himself for ten hours, Jiang Yi declared his operation a success. He himself examined the product multiple times, and after confirming there weren’t any problems, he walked out to awaken the Black Deity who was still cultivating.
He asked the Black Deity to hurriedly head to the south city to buy some miscellaneous items back. After the Black Deity had done this seven to eight times, Jiang Yi used the Mirage Divine Ability to disguise himself as the Black Deity and walked out of the pavilion, heading straight for the south city.
