Chapter 402 - 65: Reviewing the Gains, Devouring the Divine Artifact
Shen Fei’s heart was greatly startled, hurriedly shouting, "I am truly useful, truly. Moreover, I can help you master the Dugu Family, even the Heavenly Pride Club!"
"Useful or not, it doesn’t matter."
"Once a demon, always a demon. I’m too lazy to explain, and you’re not worthy of listening!"
As Shen Fei’s words fell, the Empress flicked her finger, and a ray of light pierced through Dugu Hongchen’s forehead.
In the next moment.
The light bounced out from Dugu Hongchen’s body, and at the same time, Dugu Hongchen’s form turned to ashes.
Moments later.
Shen Fei’s eyes flickered, and Little Pu extracted the more useful information from Dugu Hongchen’s memories.
Presented in a film-like manner to inform Shen Fei.
"Gathered by others during his youth, he founded the Celestial Destiny Sect, indeed considered one of the founding elders, but so many years have passed."
Shen Fei looked somewhat puzzled, "Dugu Hongchen surprisingly doesn’t know this Sect Leader’s identity, the only speculation is.
Having once received a profession inheritance from a Heavenly King of the Divine Dynasty."
Shen Fei didn’t expect that Dugu Hongchen’s memories held substantial gains.
Directly filling much of his knowledge of Blue Star’s secrets, perhaps these his master also knew.
But having no reason to directly tell him, saying it outright would instead add to his worries.
"The Divine Dynasty, the Ancient Secret Realm was established by the powerful figures back then, and in resisting higher-tier Abyssal entities.
Were once members of the Divine Dynasty?"
"Blue Star surprisingly is one of the legitimate branches of the Divine Dynasty." Shen Fei digested the many pieces of information obtained from Dugu Hongchen’s memories.
Given Dugu Hongchen’s power on Blue Star, and his status within the Celestial Destiny Sect, this information should be accurate.
There are still many pieces of information Shen Fei hasn’t finished reviewing, since Dugu Hongchen lived so long.
Shen Fei thinks it will take a long time to fully digest everything.
Some information can be saved for when needed.
He primarily wants to understand the purpose of this Celestial Destiny Sect’s action.
"The six Tier Ten members of the Cold Heaven Race were due to the extermination of the Cold Heaven Race.
Severely wounded, recuperating in the Cold Heaven Ice Tomb.
If no Tier Ten appears, it’s hard to alarm them."
"The god of the Cold Abyss wants to restore to a sufficient level of power, then use the strength of these six Tier Tens to recover.
To gather Divine Throne resonance and break through once more.
And these six Tier Tens are lying dormant in the place of the Cold Heaven Ice Tomb."
Shen Fei suddenly remembered the ’Cold Heaven Tomb Key’ that appeared after slaying the god of the Cold Abyss.
Could it be the key to open the Cold Heaven Ice Tomb?
"If so, it’s a major score..." Shen Fei muttered, since these are six injured Tier Tens.
No matter how injured, they are still Tier Tens, and categorized as Abyssal Creatures.
If the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and the Empress were to consume them...
The allure had Shen Fei’s mind somewhat dazed, but soon he snapped back to reality.
"Not necessarily, since those beings get to lie in that place, not even worried about outsiders entering.
It’s extremely likely that there was already preparation, even if the Cold Abyss god was assured, it’s because she herself was a Cold Heaven Race member."
"The Cold Heaven Ice Tomb likely possesses the ability to discern identity, if one were to rashly enter it."
"Besides, I myself find it difficult to kill a Tier Ten."
Shen Fei temporarily dismissed the idea of going alone, the allure is indeed great, but it seems like a poisoned cake.
"Might as well tell Master, eventually, I’ll definitely share the benefits."
Shen Fei quickly made his decision.
If he were to eat this alone, he might choke himself to death.
But he’s not fighting alone, he has his master as his great support.
Given Luo Ran’s character, last time she sought justice from the Pope for him and even directly handed him the Divine Artifact.
Without saying something like ’since Shen Fei cannot use it now, I’ll just hold on to it for now’.
Clearly, Luo Ran genuinely treats him as a disciple.
If this thing proves beneficial, Luo Ran certainly won’t leave him out.
After digesting all this information.
Shen Fei took out the item dropped by the god of the Cold Abyss from his Professional Backpack.
The ’Slumber of the Cold Abyss (Mythical)...’
A staff, crystal-clear, appearing crafted entirely from ice crystals, combining majesty and purity.
"A Mage Divine Artifact? But the Empress can’t use it now."
Shen Fei furrowed his brow, the artifact’s skills were rather abundant, but the issue lies with the usage restrictions.
"Usage Restrictions: Mage Profession; Ice-type Profession; Third Transformation"
The Empress does not have the ’Combat Saint Soul’ tag, so she cannot use it at all.
If kept for the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable as a backup, that would be too extravagant.
Moreover, the Mage type’s attack doesn’t quite match the combat style of the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.
"Consume it?"
Shen Fei pondered for a moment, his gaze turned to the Empress, "Can you consume this?"
Alternatively, Shen Fei could take it back to Wu Xia, to see if any Tier Ten experts would exchange it with him.
But Shen Fei is planning to enter the Zulu Battlefield now, after coming out, before even considering finding a suitable person for exchange.
Now he needs to enhance his strength, better to have one bird in hand than ten in the forest.
"I can..."
The Empress nodded, a wave appeared in her hand, and she consumed it.
The ’Immortal Celestial Scripture’—consumes the ’Slumber of the Cold Abyss’, Lix Mountain Empress becomes immune to any ice element abilities below ’Mythical’, ice element ability amplifies +10000%, freely manipulates environment within icy conditions.
Acquires skills ’Slumber of the Cold Abyss’, ’Ten Thousand Miles of Cold River’, ’Absolute Zero’, ’Ice Crystal Incarnation’, ’Ice Crystal World’
"Still quite good, at least all skills were mastered."
Shen Fei glanced at the skills, indeed the ’Immortal Celestial Scripture’ type tags are truly valuable.
Not wasted at all.
’Jesus’ Palm’ was intended for the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, who planned to consume it if it wasn’t quite suitable.
However, equipment skills and transforming them into one’s own skills, equipment skills are better.
Equipment skills are non-consuming, but personal skills demand expenditure.
And cooling remains similar.
The main difference is between the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and the Empress.
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s consumption reduction isn’t as potent, even with ’Bloodthirsty Frenzy’.
But during one-on-one opposing, if ’Jesus’ Palm’ were to be consumed for its skills.
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s consumption would be tremendous.
However, the Empress already possesses the ability to reduce skill consumption with ’Slaughter Divine Authority’, merely required to slay more abyssal creatures to replenish the skills.
Both cannot be considered the same, besides, this equipment is also unusable by the Empress, which is a key reason.
Once the Empress finished digesting, Shen Fei took out the second item, the ’Source of Freezing Law’, looking slightly surprised.
The ’Source of Freezing Law (Mythical)’: Allows the user to directly master the ’Freezing’ Law.
Usage Requirements: Half-mythical Ice Class Profession; Level 100
