Chapter 313: 311. A New Task Appears (4/4)
[Unexpected Joy - Vortex Map Attached Ability (Absolute Killing Intent)]
Absolute Killing Intent
Ability: Triggered during attack, causes the current Techniques to manifest a Strong Break Ability - specialized for breaking through strong defenses; the thicker the defense, the stronger the ability.
"The stronger the defense, the stronger the ability." Meeting strength with strength, this unexpected joy is truly surprising and astonishing.
Following that, Wenping stood up from his original sitting position and gradually approached the table. Zhantian Qingxuan was holding the Vortex Map, which still had residual warmth, with an exceptionally fascinating expression. Upon closer inspection, amidst the white sea of stars, two golden vortexes were slowly rotating, stirring the surrounding white star sea.
As Wenping took the Vortex Map from Zhantian Qingxuan’s hand, a special feeling suddenly arose, akin to a child grasping its mother’s milk for the first time, filled with a primal impulse.
"Elder Qingxuan, how is the effect of this Vortex Map?"
"Unfortunately, it’s an Anomalous Vein Vortex Map." The Sect Leader can’t use it for now and can only wait for a breakthrough to the Divine Profound Realm.
"What anomalous vein?" That’s exactly what he wanted.
"Gold element of the Five Elements."
Gold represents defense and ultimate offense.
Especially in attack, the enhancement brought by gold is distinctive.
Zhantian Qingxuan continued: "Very fortunate, this time I perfectly crafted a Two-Vortex Vortex Map, reaching high quality with a fifty percent enhancement. Plus, if the anomalous vein is gold, it significantly boosts vein techniques related to swords and blades, like adding wings to a tiger. Sect Leader, that Sword Control Skill is quite suitable."
Even now, she could hardly believe it.
The success was too sudden.
Like a pie falling from the sky!
"Perfect!" Along with the Long Yue Sword, it should be easy to kill a Half-Step Divine Profound, "Congratulations on becoming a Two-Star Vortex Divine Artisan, Elder Qingxuan."
"Much thanks to the Sect Leader." Opportunities and fate are indispensable, and both seemed to be found in Wenping here; he was the person she needed to thank most.
Wenping joked, "Let’s celebrate tonight, I’ll make dumplings."
"Many thanks, Sect Leader." Celebrating with Spiritual Cuisine, what luxury!
Wenping immediately put away the Vortex Map, then took out other jade boxes from the Storage Ring, as they were only meant to be sold on his person; giving them to Zhantian Qingxuan would maximize benefits, "Elder Qingxuan, keep these things."
"Sect Leader, what is this?" So many celestial materials and treasures at once, worth no less than 500 White Crystal, how could she accept?
Wenping replied, "I initially planned to sell them, but if you make them into Vortex Maps to sell afterward, that will maximize benefits. If there’s anything you can use, feel free to take it, though... whenever you craft a One-Star Vortex Map, which you call a One-Vortex Vortex Map, remember to call me."
The Life Core Pendant must be used frequently!
Currently, maximizing benefits means using them for Vortex Map crafting.
"Uh-huh, understood." With the successful experience of the first Two-Vortex Vortex Map, she was unconcerned about anyone observing the One-Vortex Vortex Map crafting process.
Moreover, today she did two things she never dared to think of before.
One was to smile.
The second was to speak.
Following that, Wenping put away the Vortex Map and headed back to the dormitory area.
Without further ado.
Opened the Meridian Gate!
Directly moved the Vortex Map toward his wrist, accompanied by a golden halo, the large Vortex Map transformed into two golden vortexes heading towards the Earth-Breaking Meridian Gate, rapidly turned into tattoo-like structures on his wrist, rotating with the opening of the Meridian Gate.
They resembled two mouths, helping Wenping absorb the Vein Qi between heaven and earth, gathering them towards the Meridian Gate.
And it was at this moment, they injected new strength into Wenping.
Boom!
The entire body felt like being struck by lightning.
Evidently, he reached Upper Profound Realm.
"This Two-Star Vortex Map unexpectedly gave me such substantial enhancement." This was something Wenping didn’t foresee; was this an unexpected joy brought by the Life Core?
Just as Wenping was delighted, the system’s voice came to his ears.
"Task released!"
What a series of happy events!
This Life Core brought about unimaginably good fortune.
[Travel Task - Fame Spread Wide]
[As a Super Sect, it naturally can’t merely be strong, hiding in the mountains unknown to others. But every aspect must be renowned worldwide. Vortex Maps, as the mainstream auxiliary tool in this world, hold a highly revered position in people’s minds. Thus, the host must make the Immortal Sect’s Vortex Maps famous far and wide!]
[Task Goal: Make Immortal Sect’s Vortex Maps known to one hundred thousand people.]
[Task Reward: Unlock any building area, one Enlightenment chance, one Realm elevation (Life Core can be used for a single reward)]
"Realm elevation!" The reward is so abundant it feels overwhelming, like a storm.
Realm elevation is currently his biggest headache, despite having a Super Sect as a backing, but with only 3-star talent, its ultimate achievement is only Half-Step Divine Profound. That’s why Wenping considered planting a Jianmu Forest; it could simultaneously enhance his talent and accelerate cultivation.
Being protected by Evil Spirit Knights and Flood Dragons always feels less satisfying than doing it himself.
"System, still only two people can be brought along, right?"
"After upgrading the Flying Ship, the number of attendants increased from two to three."
"Oh." Bringing an additional person is good.
In this closed-off world, communication between cities is minimal, let alone beyond East Lake; no one has seen customs and traditions. Bringing more people along let them see more, so they won’t be like Liu Grandma in the Golden Grand View Garden, surprised by everything.
After glancing through the task, Wenping decided to release Ji Liangping now and open the Thousand Layers tonight.
Open it once more before leaving.
By then, Tingyu Pavilion’s upgrade would be completed. With the Evil Spirit Knight reaching Divine Profound Upper Realm, it’s uncertain what realm it would be by then.
Out the door, he encountered Huan Shan head-on.
"Sect Leader." Huan Shan slightly bowed, "Oh, Sect Leader, my father just came looking for you. He wants to know how to handle Mitian Sect’s Profound Realm members?"
"Them..." Wenping truly lacked a good method to deal with them.
Kill?
Feels a bit wasteful.
Release?
They’d probably face death upon return.
"I’ll go take a look." Wenping glanced around, then added, "Huan Shan, notify everyone that the Thousand Layers will be opened tonight, and also select those who’ll go traveling with me in a few days."
"Sect Leader, you’re going traveling again!" Every time someone travels with the Sect Leader, they gain many benefits; even if not, they get to stand out.
Especially the latter, which they all enjoyed.
Defeating real geniuses from the outside world feels like a dream, only realized through the Sect Leader.
