Chapter 602: Blue Sky Above, Cerulean Sea Below
Jiang Feng did not know that his message of wanting to buy the Sacred Blood would make a merchant in despair rich overnight. He never would have known that he would be saved by the same merchant in the future.
Currently, had just completed his evolution.
After his evolution, the wings behind him had become even more solid. It was as if they had bonded with his flesh.
While he had wings before, he felt that using them was quite awkward. But now, he felt extremely comfortable using them, as if he was naturally born with wings.
The monsters’ eleven rankings were separated into normal monsters, Elites, Bosses, Spiritual Beasts, Immortal Beasts, Divine Beasts, Greater Divine Beasts, Sacred Beasts, Heavenly Sacred Beasts, Sacred Emperor Beasts, and Chaos Beasts.
After his evolution, he had become a Heavenly Sacred Beast.
His stats had also greatly increased.
At this stage, if he used up all his powers, he should be able to fight King Zhou to a standstill. If he were to evolve one more time, he would then have the power to kill off King Zhou.
“d.a.m.n it! Evolving into the Sacred Emperor Beast requires 50,000 drops of Sacred Blood!” Jiang Feng became speechless after he took a glance at the required number of Sacred Blood for him to evolve.
1,000 drops of Sacred Blood would cost him 10 million. 50,000 drops of Sacred Blood would cost him at least 500 million!
He did not care much about the money, but he was worried that he could not collect enough when it was time.
“Oh well, I will reach my destination in another hour. I should go for a lucky draw first!”
While the Sacred Blood would become harder to buy, but with the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System in his hand, he could eventually evolve into a Sacred Emperor Beast as long as he was willing to spend the time.
He opened the lucky draw panel and immediately began the lucky draw.
He did not use its multiplication function but used his lucky draw chances one by one. Since he only had three times, he needed to be more careful.
The indicator began to spin, and it quickly stopped at the special category.
He opened the prismatic chest, but what came out was not the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System Level-Up Scroll, but a Craft-Profession Skill Scroll.
Sacred Rank Cooking Skill Scroll: Can immediately learn the Sacred-Rank Cooking skill after use.
Sacred-Rank Cooking skill. Can be used to create many delicious foods, and the food that is cooked could increase stats and temporary buffs.
That was why the restaurants in the game were so popular and people were willing to spend money on them.
But it was not that useful for him.
He did not need the cooking skill to support him.
But since he managed to get it, he did not think of selling it. Instead, he used it on himself immediately.
Ding. System prompt: Congratulations, you have learned the Sacred-Rank Cooking skill.
He continued with his lucky draw.
In his second draw, the indicator stopped at the pills category.
He opened the chest, and he saw a Heavenly Saint rank pill. The same as the Providence Pill.
Heavenly Awareness Pill: After consuming it, enter into a state of Epiphany. During Epiphany, Insight is maxed. Duration of 1 hour.
“It looks good on paper, but I wonder how useful it is in the field. It’s not going to help me at the moment,” He looked at the stats of the Heavenly Awareness pill and then shook his head as he threw it into the Lianyao Flask.
“Huff… I have one final chance. Let’s hope that I can succeed!” With that, he once again spun it and did the last lucky draw.
Disappointingly, during his last lucky draw use, the indicator stopped at the skill category.
And he was pleasantly surprised as the skill book’s grade was quite high.
Consume: Heavenly Saint Rank Skill
After activation can consume anything to increase one’s power. Duration of 30 seconds.
It was a Heavenly Saint Rank Demesne Skill.
His guess was that in order to master the Consume skill, one must have at least 100,000 slivers of the Demesne of Devouring before one could even comprehend it.
With this skill, he would be semi-invincible for 30 seconds.
The only reason that he said that he would be semi-invincible was that there would always be things that he could not consume. Those that were not on the list of “anything.”
“Sigh… looks like I cannot upgrade the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System then,” He sighed helplessly after he had used up all three times of his lucky draws and was not able to draw the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System Level-Up scroll.
Originally he wanted to exchange for a Divine Beast to come out and help him. Unfortunately, he had no hope of doing that now, unless he evolved one more time.
And looking at the number of Sacred Blood he needed to consume, his bloodline purity could not reach 100% within that short amount of time.
He looked at the time, and decided not to continue leveling up, and returned to the s.h.i.+fter Emperor Palace.
Once he was back in the s.h.i.+fter Emperor Palace, he looked for Ling Feiyu and explained to her about the situation with the Bermuda Triangle.
The moment Ling Feiyu heard from him that he was going to the Bermuda Triangle, she suddenly stood up from her seat and quickly shook her head and pleaded, “No, you can’t go! You must have a death wish going there. Our lives have finally returned to some semblance of normalcy, there’s no need for you to take this risk! If something happens to you, what should I do?”
Jiang Feng then hugged Ling Feiyu. “Wife, listen to me. My guess is that something is hiding in the Bermuda Triangle that would threaten us, and even the entire world. I have made all the necessary preparations for when I go over this time. And according to Qingqiu, there shouldn’t be any danger there. Even if there is, I can at least still escape.”
“Can you please not go?” Ling Feiyu looked at Jiang Feng’s eyes that glowed with conviction and pleaded again.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Who knows, I might be back in two days,” Jiang Feng said with a smile as he gave Ling Feiyu’s head a pat.
He did a lot to calm Ling Feiyu down.
Luckily, he finally managed to convince her.
Looking at the time, he felt that it was almost time for him to go. After composing three messages that would be sent out at a later date automatically, he then logged out of the game.
***
After exiting the game, his consciousness returned to this helicopter.
“Young Master, I have prepared everything you have asked for,” The pilot said when he saw that Jiang Feng had exited from the game. “There is something that I must remind you. This oxygen tank would only be enough for four hours. The smaller tanks have enough for one hour and I have prepared ten of them. With these, you are already quite weighed down.”
“That means that even if you enter the Bermuda Triangle, you have to escape within 14 hours. Otherwise… Sigh… I will wait for you on the islands around Miami. When you are out, signal into the skies of the Bermuda Triangle.”
After the pilot’s reminder, Jiang Feng then carried the oxygen tanks and parachute. Under his clothes, there were also smaller oxygen tanks, hardtacks, and water.
T/L note: He’s going diving right? RIGHT? How the h.e.l.l is he diving with things under his clothes? Clothes? Not diving gears? I’m so confused right now.
These resources would be enough for him to survive for the next fourteen hours.
Even if he did find someplace with oxygen under the sea, the food and water on him would at most allow him to survive for one week.
“I understand,” Jiang Feng looked at the surroundings of the Bermuda Triangle and gave a nod.
Next, he took a deep breath and then jumped into the cerulean sea down below.
“Young Master, be careful!” The pilot yelled at Jiang Feng who had jumped into the Bermuda Triangle with a sigh.
From his expression, one could tell that he did not expect Jiang Feng to survive.
