Chapter 822: [Spotless Jade]

Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9

Gu Qing Shan read the changed lines of text on the [Kindling] UI, completely speechless.

This was the first time in his life that he saw such a righteous explanation for ‘stealing’.

Naturally, it was this ability that helped him win against the sea snake just now.

——-that sea snake was already launching its attack against him, so the situation couldn’t be said to be good for them.

Furthermore, the only evil creatures left in this area were him and the Silent Ruler.

It was easy to see at a glance that the Silent Ruler wasn’t an expert in close combat, so Gu Qing Shan naturally took up that position.

The sea snake’s ability was to reflect any attacks made on it, fortunately, the Chao Yin sword would have been able to bypass this ability entirely.

——-the Chao Yin sword had the ability to control the ocean.

Which means, he could make the sea snake wrestle against the ocean itself.

——-no matter how much damage it reflected, it wouldn’t affect Gu Qing Shan in the slightest.

Originally, Gu Qing Shan was going to abuse this and slowly wear the sea snake down while looking for its weakness.

But he suddenly got a treasure that could directly steal an enemy’s ability!

At this point, a few lines of blood-red text appeared on the [Kindling] UI:

[Defeated ancient creature: Demon Dragon larvae]

[You were able to completely absorb the creature’s Soul Points: 180,000]

180,000 Soul Points!

Gu Qing Shan quickly glanced towards the center of the UI.

The long progress bar under the Lapis Card [Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan] was already mostly filled, only a little bit more until he could advance.

Only 20,000 Soul Points left!

Gu Qing Shan felt a lot better.

He looked at the jade gourd pendant and said: “Come”

The jade gourd pendant stopped in front of him.

Gu Qing Shan grabbed the jade pendant and asked: “How much Soul Points do you want this time?”

Xiu… xiuuu!

“Alright”

Gu Qing Shan put 10,000 Soul Points into the jade pendant at once.

The jade pendant was ecstatic, it began dancing happily around Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan smiled: “You did well, that saved me a lot of trouble”

He looked back at the direction of the ship, feeling a bit worried.

The Lord of Total Distortion observed the battle just now from start to finish.

Some of the stronger evil creatures were also able to see everything.

What are they going to think about this?

If they know Adorable was this impressive, would they have other ideas in mind?

If it was me who heard that someone else had a treasure that can ‘borrow’ and use another person’s ability without any restrictions, I would feel greatly tempted as well.

“Alright then, I’ll have to come up with something to gloss over the battle just now” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Hearing him say that, the jade gourd pendant stopped dancing.

It began to squeak ‘xiu xiu’ a bunch of times to Gu Qing Shan as if it felt annoyed because it had to explain something so simple.

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes wide.

What?

Is that really true?

While the was surprised, a few lines of blood-red text appeared on the [Kindling] UI:

[Jade pendant: Adorable has informed you of its secret on its own accord]

[You now know one of its Thaumaturgies]

[Spotless Jade: All of this jade’s action are known to you alone]

[Description: Spotless Jade hides in plain sight, only appears in front of its owner, unseen by all other living creatures and things]

As Gu Qing Shan read the description on the [Kindling] UI, he confirmed that his understanding wasn’t wrong.

In other words——

No matter what the jade gourd pendant does, no one will notice at all?

While Gu Qing Shan was contemplating, the Silent Ruler flew over.

She still seemed to be in disbelief.

『 How unbelievable for the monster’s weakness to be the most basic physical attack 』

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan glanced over the jade gourd pendant floating in front of him and didn’t reply.

——–so she really doesn’t know what the jade gourd pendant did just now?

Noticing Gu Qing Shan’s doubtful gaze, the jade gourd pendant squeaked in disdain.

It then flew towards the Silent Ruler.

Right in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes, the jade gourd pendant spun and danced directly in front of the Silent Ruler’s face.

But the Silent Ruler didn’t seem to notice that at all.

She was still speaking emotionally: 『 On this ocean full of mystical and mysterious powers, we have been too used to using our Mystic-type abilities to fight. There are very few who still employ primitive cold weapons in battle, otherwise, those powerful fiends and devils just now wouldn’t have had to die so easily 』

Gu Qing Shan paid close attention to her gaze and finally confirmed that the jade gourd pendant had the ability to be unnoticeable to all entities.

“What an incredible secretive Thaumaturgy—– stop, you’re making me dizzy, come back”

He sent his voice to the jade gourd pendant.

Being praised, the jade gourd pendant happily flew back and landed on top of Gu Qing Shan’s head.

It smugly stood right in the middle of his head.

Ah…

Although he knew no one could see this jade gourd pendant, Gu Qing Shan still felt a bit strange that he was essentially wearing a gourd-shaped item on his head.

“Oi, you already got your Soul Points and did your job, you can go back to rest now, I’ll call again if I need you”

“Also, jade pendants are supposed to be worn on clothes, don’t sit on my head anymore”

He sent his voice.

The jade gourd pendant dejectedly came down and crawled back into Gu Qing Shan’s Inventory Bag.

It looked for a relatively empty spot inside the bag, turned around itself a few times like a puppy, then sat still. historical

——–it actually did go back to sleep!

Although that seemed like a long time, it was actually just the blink of an eye.

Gu Qing Shan looked straight at the Silent Ruler.

“Indeed” he followed up the Silent Ruler’s words, “fortunately, you were here to help me restrain it, otherwise it might have run away”

The Silent Ruler smiled with her eyes.

A few luminous spots appeared on the surface of the ocean.

『 I heard these ancient sea monsters who live for over 10 million years all have a few treasures to their name, let’s see what we have here 』the Silent Ruler said.

“Alright”

The two of them flew down and landed on the surface of the ocean, looking down at the luminous spots.

They were thin sharp fingernails, each about the length of a person’s arm, silently floating on top of the water while reflecting light in every direction.

『 Huh? 』

The Silent Ruler was shocked.

She waved her hand and levitated some of the fingernails in front of herself.

『 So they were the Demon Dragon’s nails——– no wonder this monster had such a powerful Mystic-type ability, it probably had the Demon Dragon’s bloodline 』

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the pieces of razor-sharp nails.

My sword technique was able to completely erase the sea snake, but it couldn’t leave a single mark on these nails.

I really can’t imagine how strong this sea creature would’ve grown if it was left alone.

The Lord of Total Distortion was observing the pieces of Demon Dragon nails on his table.

『 Fortunately, they were only nails 』

He spoke with the attitude of someone experienced in this matter: 『 From the battle just now, it was still at the larvae stage so its ability still hasn’t completely evolved, otherwise your swords wouldn’t have been able to kill it and both of you would’ve died 』

『 Especially you, Xie Qi Ruler, I had assumed that you would use your ability to control the sea and fight the monster indirectly to prevent reflection while planning for a longer battle 』

「 Would that have been possible, master? Wouldn’t the control simply be reflected before it was attacked? 」one of the more powerful evil creatures joined the discussion.

Its body was completely covered in runes, the air itself was bending into ripples around its body.

Obviously, this was a very powerful evil creature with status within the ship.

The Lord of Total Distortion also patiently answered its question:

『 Using the ability to control the sea to fight consists of 2 stages, the first is to control the water, the second is attacking the sea creature. Because of this, even if the monster had been able to reflect the attack, it would’ve only reflected it back to the ocean and not do anything to the Xie Qi Ruler—— in truth, a reflective Mystic-type ability like that could only consider a target that attacked it, not an indirect party behind the attacker——– that would have been the correct way to fight against and dismantle such an ability 』

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh.

The Lord of Total Distortion was truly as he was rumored to be; to be able to get straight to the point with a few words.

If Adorable hadn’t helped him, that was exactly how he intended to fight it.

“No matter what happened, it’s now dead. And I don’t want to ever run into another Demon Dragon bloodkin” Gu Qing Shan said.

The Lord of Total Distortion laughed.

The other evil creatures also laughed.

——-there was no such thing as an evil creature that wanted to run into the Demon Dragon and its blood kins.

The Demon Dragon was the true apex predator of the Wraith Realm, the one at the very top of the food chain. Under normal circumstances, it slept within a secret location and only woke up once every few hundred thousand years—— to feed.

There had never been any evil creatures who could win against the Demon Dragon.

Even back then, the Divine race and Desolate race purposefully avoided the locations that could have been the Demon Dragon’s resting place when they broke the Primordial Wraith Realm into pieces.

However, since the Lord of Total Distortion can already laugh like that, Gu Qing Shan could relax again.

Although no one could perceive the jade gourd pendant’s existence, there were still plenty of inappropriate points with the battle just now.

And the Lord of Total Distortion surely noticed.

But he didn’t ask further.

——-Gu Qing Shan wasn’t one of his subjects, he was the owner of two evil realms, a true Ruler with his own territory.

And every Ruler had some sort of trump card hidden up their sleeves.

Besides the previous Xie Qi Fiend King, of course.

That was why the Lord of Total Distortion didn’t bother to pursue this matter to the end, because it was not the proper demeanor for an Evil King.

The Lord of Total Distortion took out two of the nails within the pile and gave one each to Gu Qing Shan and the Silent Ruler.

『 You have earned this 』

He said as he put the remaining Demon Dragon nails away.

Gu Qing Shan and the Silent Ruler both expressed their gratitude.

A Demon Dragon nail——- this was a true treasure of unimaginable power, those who carry it would certainly be the target of countless greedy evil creatures unless they were strong enough to keep them at bay.

The Lord of Total Distortion naturally had nothing to fear.

Both the Xie Qi Ruler and the Silent Ruler were powerful evil Rulers, furthermore, they were the ones who killed that sea creature and thus earned the right to keep one nail each.

The Lord of Total Distortion threw another Demon Dragon nail out.

『 Go, hang this on the sail of the ship, I’d like to see if any other demonic sea creatures dare to approach us again 』
