142 – Semi-Divine Armament Plane Astrolabe
Rimont’s eyes flashed with a touch of despondency: “Yang Feng, we’re at the Fiery Dragon Race Track. The way the grudges are settle here is by racing with magic sports cars. Do you dare to have a bet with us? If you don’t even dare to have a bet, then be a good boy and get the f.u.c.k out of St. Rose City.”
The storage ring of Yang Feng’s hand flashed and a chest immediately fell on the ground. He opened it and revealed top-notch magic stones: “A bet you say? Interesting. I’m only worried about one thing, that is, that you’re not able to call my stake! This is a chest with top-notch magic stones. You both should know about the worth of top-notch magic stones. You good-for-nothing paupers, if you can’t call my stake, then be good boys and get the f.u.c.k out of St. Rose City!”
“Those are the legendary top-notch magic stones!”
“They contain the purest magic energy. If the magic energy contained in one top-notch magic stone were to absorbed, then it would be enough to promote a level-2 Warlock to a level-3 Warlock.”
“It’s the first time for me to see them. Only Great Warlocks are qualified to use such a treasure!”
“1 top-notch magic stone is worth more than 2,000,000 inferior magic stones. This chest is worth more than 2,000,000,000 inferior magic stones! He’s so d.a.m.n rich. The Steel Lord spoils his nephew too much, he even gave him such a treasure.”
"…"
Frightened, greedy, jealous and envious gazes moved back a forth between the chest with top-notch magic stones and Yang Feng.
Even Angelina, when she looked at the chest with top-notch magic stones, her beautiful eyes unconsciously flashed with a touch of absent-mindedness.
Top-notch magic stones contained the purest and easiest to absorb magic energy. In a battle, one top-level magic stone was equivalent to a charger; it could continuously recover a Warlock’s spirit force and physical strength. One top-notch magic stone was equivalent to a vial of a terrifying alchemical elixir capable of steadily recovering a given amount of spirit force and physical strength.
Top-notch magic stones were extremely valuable. Generally, every single one of them would go to Great Warlocks to be used in their practice of cultivation. Ordinary Warlocks couldn’t even catch the sight of one.
Most of the youngsters at the Fiery Dragon Race Track were extremely rich princeling Warlocks, but there weren’t many among them that have seen top-notch magic stones. Many young beauties had their eyes light up when they looked at Yang Feng, as if seeing a frog turning into a prince.
The complexions of Cookson and Rimont became exceedingly unsightly. That chest with top-notch magic stones was worth more than two billion inferior magic stones. Although the two were top-notch geniuses from the younger generation – from Savage Claw and White Ivory respectively – who have promoted to level-2 Warlocks before the age of 50, but they still couldn’t come up with such an exorbitant amount.
Yang Feng ridiculed with a cold smile: “You two good-for-nothing paupers, if you can’t come up with the corresponding amount, then get the f.u.c.k out of St. Rose City.”
The pitying and ridiculing gazes gathering on Cookson and Rimont were as painful as being p.r.i.c.ked by swords.
Yang Feng observed the two as if watching two clowns. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a trace of delight. The feeling of taking out magic stones and smas.h.i.+ng people with them was quite refres.h.i.+ng.
With his eyes bloodshot, Cookson flipped his hand and a palm-sized bronze disc with sun, moon and star engravings appeared in his hand. He clamored: “Who said I can’t call your stake?! This is a Plane Astrolabe. A level-5 secret treasure. In the different planes, level-5 secret treasures are called semi-divine armaments. The worth of this semi-divine armament is no lower than that of your top-notch magic stones!”
“A level-5 secret treasure!”
“Semi-divine armament!!”
“He actually has an semi-divine armament!!”
"…"
Voices of astonishment sounded, as practically everyone’s gazes were firmly attracted to the bronze disk in Cookson’s hand.
In Turandot Subcontinent, secret treasures higher than level-3 were very rare, with some Great Warlock rank experts not even having a single level-4 secret treasure. As for level-5 Semi-Divine rank secret treasures, even Great Warlocks from the six great Warlock groups might not have one.
Cookson actually had a level-5 secret treasure, naturally it caused a huge sensation and attracted countless gazes. Even the always apathetic Dephilia, her pretty complexion also changed slightly as she unwaveringly stared at the Plane Astrolabe.
Eunice sent mentally: “Plane Astrolabes are essential items for Great Warlock rank experts or higher to carry out plane travels. Without Plane Astrolabes, once their bodies leave this world, if they’re the slightest bit inattentive, then even Great Warlock rank experts might get lost in the boundless depths of the ocean of stars.
If you leave for the Astral Boundary that connects countless planes without a Plane Astrolabe; if you’re the slightest bit inattentive, you might get lost in the Astral Boundary.
Apart from this, the Plane Astrolabe has another use, that is, it can be used to stabilize the plane pa.s.sageway. With a Plane Astrolabe, a plane pa.s.sageway can have more stability, allowing for stronger beings to cross it.”
With regards to Warlocks, plane travel was the most dangerous but also the most profitable adventure. Once a mighty human Warlock descended on a plane and successfully became said plane’s ruler, then they’d gain exceedingly terrifying benefits.
As a part of the World of Warlocks, it was forbidden to carryout wicked large scale human experiments in Turandot Subcontinent.
But there was no such restriction in the other planes.
Some powerful wicked human Warlocks would seize a plane; regarding it as their base, they would rear humans for the purpose of carrying out wicked experiments.
There were basically three methods for Warlocks to leave with their bodies for other planes. The first was to fly with their bodies into the boundless Starry Sky and leave for other planes via the Starry Sky plane coordinates. The second was to enter the Astral Boundary that connects countless planes with their bodies, search for other plane’s coordinates in the Astral Boundary and then enter those other planes trough the Astral Boundary. The third was to set up a plane pa.s.sageway and then leave with their bodies for other planes trough the plane pa.s.sageway. Apart from those three methods, the other methods for entering an other world with their bodies contained great dangers. As for entering other planes with projections, embodiments, incarnations and other methods, they all were all unable to express the terrifying strength of their true bodies.
In order to carry out plane travels, merely a plane pa.s.sageway wasn’t enough, it still required all kinds of treasures to stabilize the plane pa.s.sageway. Otherwise, powerful Warlocks were unable of crossing plane pa.s.sageways, with only a few weak beings being capable of doing so. Plane Astrolabe was a treasure that could stabilize a plane pa.s.sageway, it was extremely important to Yang Feng.
Once Cookson took out the semi-divine armament Plane Astrolabe, he took pleasure in the several envious gazes, but then he felt regretful inside: “s.h.i.+t. Now that the Plane Astrolabe was exposed, it will be very difficult to keep it.”
Cookson’s regret was fleeting. His gaze fell on the chest with top-notch magic stones, his eyes flashed with a touch of a peculiar glint: “However, as long as I win that chest with top-notch magic stones, then even if I offer the Plane Astrolabe to the organization, they won’t treat me unjustly. For the current me, a chest with top-notch magic stones and the reward from the organization would be more useful than this Plane Astrolabe,”
A semi-divine armament like the Plane Astrolabe, that was only useful in plane travels, was of great use to experts higher than Great Warlock rank. To Great Warlock experts or lower, the Plane Astrolabe wouldn’t be the least bit useful. With regards to Cookson, the worth of the Plane Astrolabe was by far lower than that of the chest with top-notch magic stones.
Cookson said coldly: “How about my treasure, it’s worth is no lower than two billion magic stones, right?”
With a cold smile, Yang Feng played down the worth of the Plane Astrolabe until it seamed worthless: “Plane Astrolabe, although this treasure is a semi-divine armament, but the scope of its use is too limited. Only experts higher than Great Warlock rank can use it. In the main continent, this treasure would be worth more than two billion magic stones. But in Turandot Subcontinent, to auction it for one billion magic stones would already be amazing.”
Cookson’s complexion became unsightly. He couldn’t refute Yang Feng’s statement. If it was in the main continent, than a semi-divine armament like Plane Astrolabe would definitely be priceless, attracting countless experts to vie over it. But in Turandot Subcontinent, it was of little worth. It wasn’t that the Plane Armament wasn’t good, but it was rather too high-end, to the point that no one in Turandot Subcontinent could use it. With regards to Warlocks, secret treasures that couldn’t be used were akin to rubbish.
“That’s right, this Plane Astrolabe is useless!”
“Yeah, although this Plane Astrolabe is a semi-divine armament, but without any additional offensive nor defensive spells, apart from localization in the Starry Sky and stabilizing the plane pa.s.sageway, it isn’t the slightest bit useful. In Turandot Subcontinent, as there are no plane pa.s.sageways nor Starry Sky Warlock rank experts, this Plane Astrolabe isn’t the list bit useful.”
“I reckon that the most useless semi-divine armament in Turandont Subcontinent is this Plane Astrolabe.”
“Haha!”
"…"
Laughter came from those youngsters. As soon as they recovered from the shock of it being a semi-divine armament, they realized the worth of this Plane Astrolabe.
One of the reasons why Cookson had the Plane Astrolabe catch dust was because he wouldn’t be able to fetch a good price for it in Turandot Subcontinent.
Yang Feng’s words took a turn: “But I’m a magnanimous individual. Additionally, I’m sure to promote higher than the Starry Sky Warlock rank. I’m slightly interested in this Plane Astrolabe, I’ll reluctantly let you use it as a stake. In order to ensure fairness, lets ask Angelina to act as a notary, lets place our stakes with her.”
Cookson heaved a sigh of relief and handed Angelina the Plane Astrolabe: “Alright!”
Yang Feng also handed Angelina the chest with top-notch magic stones worth two billion magic stones.
Angelina was Rose Empire’s first successor. As Rose Garden’s representative in St. Rose City, she naturally wouldn’t embezzle the stakes of Yang Feng and Coockson. The trifling chest with top-notch magic stones and the rubbish-like Plane Astrolabe weren’t enough for Rose Garden to be willing to loose face.
Yang Feng waved his hand, ten chests with superior magic stones appeared on the ground. He sneered: “Rimont, these are ten chests with superior magic stones! They’re roughly worth 1,500,000,000 inferior magic stones. If you want to have a bet with me, then come up with the appropriate amount in treasures. Otherwise, please get out of St. Rose City and don’t embarra.s.s yourself anymore.”
