When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 870 - 341: Duel Invitation at the Celestial Sea (2)
"Alright, stop complaining here and hurry back to level up," the President said as he handed a box to Li Xiu, "This is all I can help you with."
Seeing that the President had intentions of seeing him off, Li Xiu had no choice but to stand up and take his leave. Before leaving, he asked, "I want to make a trip to Space City. Do you have any instructions?"
The President pondered for a moment before speaking, "You’d better not provoke Guan Jinghao. At present, you might not be his match. Space City is not as simple as you think."
"Given that Guan Jinghao is so powerful, why don’t you take him to the Celestial Sea?" Li Xiu asked in confusion.
"The Guan Family is ultimately not part of our Longevity Sky. Even if he wins, it doesn’t benefit us greatly. Moreover, the Guan Family has sacrificed once already; since they don’t wish to sacrifice a second time, I should not make it difficult for them." After a brief pause, the President continued, "In short, before you ascend to the Divine Position, it’s best not to go to Space City to seek Guan Jinghao."
Since the President seemed unwilling to discuss Space City and Guan Jinghao further, Li Xiu refrained from asking more questions. Cautiously, he asked, "President, am I free to borrow any resources within Longevity Sky?"
"Of course, as long as the resources are available within Longevity Sky, you can borrow them at will," the President responded straightforwardly.
"Including the treasures of the Four Great Families?" Li Xiu confirmed once more.
"That’s right," the President nodded slightly.
"What if they’re unwilling to lend them?" Li Xiu pursued.
"As long as they have them, you can borrow them. If they’re unwilling, I will make the decision for you. However, if they don’t have them, you cannot force the issue," the President’s point was clear: if you want to borrow something, you must first ensure they have it.
"With the President’s words, I can rest easy now." Only then did Li Xiu leave the City Lord’s Mansion satisfied.
After Li Xiu returned to the Seventh Court, he opened the box the President had given him.
"Could what the President gave me be a Divine Position Gemstone?" Li Xiu speculated in his heart.
Since his opponent was at the Divine Position Level, if the President didn’t want him to lose, he would have to help him ascend to the Divine Position.
Ascension to the Divine Position requires a Divine Position Gemstone. In Longevity Sky, probably only those at the Divine Position Level could obtain it. To provide him with one or several Divine Position Gemstones to ensure his ascension to the Divine Position would be reasonable.
However, upon opening the box, Li Xiu was so disappointed he nearly vomited blood.
Forget the Divine Position Gemstone; there wasn’t even an ordinary gemstone inside, just a thin book.
"Damn it, sending me out on missions on your behalf again, and you can’t even spare a gemstone. Clearly, you want me to fend for myself!" Now Li Xiu felt an urge to flee Longevity Sky immediately.
Taking out the thin book and glancing at it, Li Xiu was amazed to discover it was the translation of the "Jade Emperor Scripture."
Yet, this version of the Jade Emperor Scripture was more complete than the Great Celestial King’s, with quite similar contents, but with many annotations at the end.
"What good is this to me now that I’ve reached Spirit Forging Level?" Li Xiu thought internally, but he still read through the "Jade Emperor Scripture."
After reading all the annotations, he realized that he hadn’t truly understood the "Jade Emperor Scripture" before.
It’s not that he didn’t understand it; he had only grasped the cultivation method of the Jade Emperor Scripture, while it recorded some things not present in the other version, specifically about Light Veins.
Previously, Li Xiu focused on the number of Light Veins. The more Light Veins, the more Light Energy stored, theoretically making one stronger.
While those points were correct, this version of the "Jade Emperor Scripture" detailed special usage methods for Light Veins.
According to this, Light Veins are not merely for storing Light Energy; different Light Veins can imbue Light Energy with special attributes and abilities.
From Li Xiu’s understanding, the quantity of Light Veins forms the foundation; the better the foundation, the greater the Light Energy’s potential explosion. But however much Light Energy there is, it remains just Light Energy.
In simple terms, Light Veins are akin to iron ore veins; there’s much iron ore inside, but utilizing it is a skill in itself.
Iron ore can be refined to make swords, fashioned into knives, lances, swords, and halberds, or even used to manufacture machinery.
Each Light Vein in the Jade Emperor Scripture has a corresponding method to transform the Light Energy within into stronger combat power.
The Jade Emperor Scripture may not have the most Light Veins, but each one can produce special abilities when used, which is quite terrifying.
Originally, everyone played with iron ore, while the Jade Emperor Scripture suddenly turned iron ore into swords, shields, throwing knives, or even firearms and cannons. How could one compete with that?
Moreover, different Light Vein abilities can be combined to create infinite variations. These abilities can be utilized even at the Spirit Forging Level, which is somewhat alarming.
Nevertheless, activating these Light Vein abilities requires long-term cultivation and comprehension; it’s not something that can be learned instantly just by knowing the theory.
Fortunately, Light Vein abilities can be activated anytime, as long as one has the corresponding Light Veins. Li Xiu is not too late to begin learning now.
After studying for half a day, Li Xiu realized the abilities generated by the twelve positive and twelve inverse Light Veins in the Jade Emperor Scripture are all-encompassing; an average person couldn’t master them all in a lifetime.
