Chapter 448: Sword Manipulation Technique
Jiang Feng did not expect that he would be affected by the Severely Injured status after one attack by Tathagata. And he certainly did not expect that he would be thrown back to the Divine Dominion Continent.
Not only that, he did not expect that he would meet the Wine-loving Sword Immortal himself here as soon as he was revived.
“You… are the s.h.i.+fter Emperor?” The Wine-loving Sword Immortal asked as he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jiang Feng with a bottle of wine in his hand.
“I didn’t expect that the Wine-loving Sword Immortal would know about me,” Jiang Feng said with a smile as he stood up despite the weakness he was feeling.
“I was nearby during your battle at the s.h.i.+fter-Sealing Tower. You are the first s.h.i.+fter that I have ever seen to break through its seal!” The Wine-loving Sword Immortal said with a smile.
“It was just luck,” Jiang Feng continued, “Speaking of which, why are you at this place?”
“Sigh…” The Wine-loving Sword Immortal sighed, “It is all because of my naughty disciple. He wanted to go to the s.h.i.+fter-Sealing Tower to save Zhao Ling’er together with Lin Yueru. For that, I was hoping that Lady Nuwa would give me a sign if I go to the Nuwa Ruins, and tell me how to help him. And then, Lady Nuwa asked to wait for someone in this place. I suppose that the person that I am waiting for should be you.”
‘Um… This plot is getting weird.’
When he heard the Wine-loving Sword Immortal say that Jiang Feng could only feel helplessness as he thought to himself, ‘Looks like I cannot escape this quest. If I give it up, the quest would most likely disappear and no one else can finish it.’
His guess was that because he was the first s.h.i.+fter that had escaped the s.h.i.+fter-Sealing Tower, in the end, he was the one that ended up with this quest.
Ding. System Prompt. Will you accept the “Legend of Sword and Fairy” quest?
“Accept!”
Originally, he was going to pa.s.s this quest to the other members of the s.h.i.+fter faction. But it seemed that he had to personally do it.
Looking at his Severely Injured status, there was not a lot that he could do on the Divine Dominion Continent. Working on plot quests was something that he could do.
While the rewards were not that attractive to him, there was still some use for the Plot Attribute Point since he could use it to increase the level of his Craft-Profession skills.
“s.h.i.+fter Emperor, I will leave the rest to you. I have some matters that I need to attend to, so I will take my leave.”
When he saw that the Wine-loving Sword Immortal was going to leave, he quickly called out to him and said with a soft smile, “Wait, Master Wine-loving Sword Immortal. Can you teach me the Sword Manipulation Technique?”
While the Wine-loving Sword Immortal’s skill was at most Divine level, he could increase his skill level once he returned to the Cultivation Room back on Silvermoon.
The Sword Manipulation Technique was the Finis.h.i.+ng Move of the Wine-loving Sword Immortal. He really wanted to see just how powerful the technique would become if he could increase it to Sacred level.
The Wine-loving Sword Immortal gave it a thought before nodding and said, “Alright!”
Next, the Wine-loving Sword Immortal showed Jiang Feng how it was done and gave Jiang Feng a skill book.
Jiang Feng looked at the skill book and immediately used it without hesitation.
Ding. System Prompt. Congratulations, you have learned the “Sword Manipulation Technique.”
After he had learned the Sword Manipulation Technique, the Wine-loving Sword Immortal then left as he looked at the quest for the Legend of Sword and Fairy!
Legend of Sword and Fairy Quest: First round, go to the s.h.i.+fter-Sealing Tower and protect Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Zhao Ling’er and prevent their deaths.
If his memories served him right, when Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru went to save Zhao Ling’er, Lin Yueru died within the s.h.i.+fter Sealing Tower. And now his quest was to protect Lin Yueru and stop her from dying.
After looking at the quest, he summoned out his Void Nightmare and left the ruined temple, and headed to Mount Shu.
When he was flying toward his destination, he looked at his stats.
Character: Jiang Feng (Severely Injured)
Sacred Health: 55,000
Sacred Attack: 6,500
Sacred Defense: 3400
…
Due to being seriously injured, only 10% of your stats had been converted.
Hit Points: 550,000
Attack: 65,000
Defense: 34,000
That meant that Silvermoon players would be weakened tenfold when they came to the Divine Dominion Continent. Despite the original conversion rate of 1000:1, his current conversion rate was 10:1.
“d.a.m.n it! Let me see if I have anything that could heal my injuries.”
Jiang Feng looked at his converted stats and was speechless. He then kept on looking for items in the Lianyao Flask, but he could not find any pills that could heal his injuries even after looking for quite some time.
At this time, he saw the 100 Sariras within the Lianyao Flask. He then took one out and began checking.
Sarira: Special Item
After eating it, restore 30% of your Sacred Health and permanently increase your three stats by 1,000. The more one eats, the greater the chance of conjuring the Buddha’s Halo.
When he saw the Sarira’s description, his eyes beamed with excitement.
However, he did not use it now. The 1,000 points was a fixed number. Now, his stats had been changed. That meant that if he ate one, it would increase his health by 1,000 but not his Sacred Health. When he had returned to Silvermoon with the 1000:1 conversion, he would only gain 1 Sacred Health for that and it would be a great loss,
But if he used it on Silvermoon, that would be 1,000 Sacred Health.
That was why he was not going to use it then.
“Fine, I should go work on the quest. Since the s.h.i.+fter Knights and the five Sacred Tribes are alright. If I am in trouble I should just let them…” Suddenly, Jiang Feng realized something and quickly looked at the Lianyao Flask. After looking for a long time, he smiled bitterly. “Where did Hundun go?”
Only now did he realize that Hundun was nowhere to be seen.
***
Under the Mount Five Fingers, Dragonquarry.
Sun Wukong, with only his head showing, was sleeping with his eyes closed.
He had been sleeping for a very long time to the point where he was numb.
Whoos.h.!.+
At this time, there was a sound in front of him. He opened his eyes slowly and looked in front.
He then saw a child with a pair of black, feathered wings and fangs in front of him.
That child was indeed Hundun, who had fallen into the portal after he and Jiang Feng had been separated.
“Oh my… Where am I?” Hundun gave his b.u.t.tocks a ma.s.sage before standing up and looking around his surroundings.
“Mount Five Fingers!” Sun Wukong said.
“Who is there?”
“Sun Wukong, the Great Saint who Equates Heaven!”
“Oh… I don’t know who that is. Speaking of which, where are you?”
“Behind your b.u.t.tocks.”
…
Hundun turned and looked, and then saw Sun Wukong who had a face filled with forlorn, and his surrounding was covered with gra.s.s.
When he saw that he squatted in front of Sun Wukong and asked, “Monkey, how did you end up under a mountain?”
Sun Wukong did not answer him and instead asked “I can sense the s.h.i.+fter Emperor’s scent on you. How are you two related?”
Hundun asked suspiciously, “You know the s.h.i.+fter Emperor?”
Sun Wukong nodded.
Hundun said, “He is my business partner, I guess. Right, you haven’t answered me yet. Why were you placed under the mountain?”
Sun Wukong’s eyes sharpened. “In order to give back the world a bright fate!”
“I do not understand!” Hundun said as he shook his head. He then glanced at Mount Five Fingers, “Do you want me to release you?”
“You do not have that power!”
“Ho~ You stupid monkey, you dare to look down on me?” Hundun said that as he suddenly flew, and he unleashed a black fireball from his mouth and struck at Mount Five Fingers.
Buzz…
As soon as his attack reached Mount Five Fingers, Buddhist Mantras appeared from Mount Five Fingers and deflected his attack, throwing him away.
He tried it once again.
After giving it dozens of tries, his body was filled with wounds.
Helplessly, he gave up and gave Sun Wukong an awkward smile and walked toward him. “Ah well. I will not make a fuss against a mountain. I can see that you are quite bored. Let me chat with you then.”
Sun Wukong, “…”
