Chapter 970 – Drawing the Sword
A day later…
Did I make a mistake in the solidification process? But I engraved the nine divine patterns perfectly, so why can’t I solidify them? Shi Feng couldn’t help but hesitate as he watched the scroll in his hands turn to ash. Should I make another learning attempt?
The cost of learning the Book of Eternity’s Legacies increased with the rank of the divine engravings he chose. Starting from the bottom, learning a Basic Divine Engraving cost only five God Crystals. However, it cost 50 God Crystals to learn an Interdiate Divine Engraving and 500 God Crystals to learn an Advanced Divine Engraving. For the sake of learning the Advanced Divine Enhancent Engraving, he had spent 500 Eternal God Crystals.
Eternal God Crystals were much more precious than ordinary God Crystals. They also had many more uses than ordinary God Crystals. If not for Zero Wing lacking ordinary God Crystals, he would never have used Eternal God Crystals as a replacent. After all, Zero Wing’s stockpile of Eternal God Crystals had already fallen below 10,000, and he had no way of replenishing it. Unlike ordinary God Crystals, Eternal God Crystals could not be obtained from ruins and Taboo Dungeons. It was also unlikely he would co across a treasure trove like the Naless City’s treasury.
Just one more ti. If I still can’t find the reason, I will give up and try again when my Concentration is stronger or my control over mana has improved.
After thinking it over, Shi Feng bit the bullet and spent another 500 Eternal God Crystals to learn the Advanced Divine Enhancent Engraving. However, he swore this would be his last attempt at learning it.
Although Zero Wing could use so Advanced Divine Enhancent Scrolls in its current situation, they weren’t a necessity, rely icing on the cake.
Legendary Equipnt might be much more readily available than Fragnted Divine Artifacts, but the rarity of Taboo Legendary Equipnt was no less than that of Fragnted Divine Artifacts. In the case of Level 240 Taboo Legendary Equipnt, its availability was just slightly higher than that of Fragnted Divine Artifacts. When it ca to the Eternal Realm, there were probably more players equipped with Fragnted Divine Artifacts than players equipped with Taboo Legendary Equipnt.
In other words, even if he could produce the Advanced Divine Enhancent Scroll, it wouldn’t help Zero Wing by much. Rather than Taboo Legendary Equipnt, the Advanced Divine Enhancent Scrolls produced would likely be used to enhance Zero Wing’s Taboo Fragnted Legendary Equipnt. However, while the Advanced Divine Enhancent Scroll could provide a greater improvent than the Interdiate Divine Enhancent Scroll, it wasn’t enough to let Zero Wing’s elite experts match the various apex and royal powers’ elite experts in Basic Attributes.
Hence, rather than waste Eternal God Crystals on trying to learn the Advanced Divine Enhancent Engraving, it would be more worthwhile to use them to produce Divine Blood.
After Shi Feng chose to learn the Advanced Divine Enhancent Engraving again, the Book of Eternity released a colorful brilliance, giving him another ntal demonstration of the Advanced Divine Enhancent Engraving’s inscription process.
Like before, the demonstration started with the Structural Analysis of nine divine patterns, followed by the Structural Remodeling of the magic elents’ operations. Once the Structural Remodeling of all nine divine patterns was complete, they were quickly put through Structural Solidification. When the nine divine patterns were remodeled and solidified, the mana structure they created attracted far more mana than the Interdiate Divine Enhancent Engraving.
Is it because my Concentration is lacking?
After rewatching the demonstration, Shi Feng had a vague idea of what went wrong. Technically, he hadn’t made any mistakes. He had replicated the demonstration’s Structural Remodeling and Solidification perfectly. However, there was one thing that was different between his inscription attempts and the demonstration.
Ti!
He had spent over ten minutes remodeling the nine divine patterns. In comparison, the demonstration spent only five minutes on this process.
If he wanted to shorten the ti he spent on Structural Remodeling, besides increasing his proficiency, his multitasking ability would play a crucial role. If he could simultaneously remodel all nine divine patterns, it would drastically shorten the ti he spent on Structural Remodeling.
Of course, simultaneously remodeling all nine divine patterns was a huge challenge, and not even the demonstrator in the demonstration had made such an attempt. Instead, the demonstrator took an easier approach, dividing each divine pattern into multiple parts and remodeling these parts simultaneously. While not as fast as remodeling nine divine patterns simultaneously, this approach greatly accelerated the remodeling process of each divine pattern.
At this point, Shi Feng took out more Seven Luminaries Crystals and tried to simultaneously remodel each divine pattern from multiple facets.
Failure…
Another failure…
On his 25th attempt, Shi Feng finally managed to bring the remodeling process down to eight minutes. As soon as he completed the Structural Remodeling of the nine divine patterns, the mana structure they composed solidified spontaneously.
Did I do it? Shi Feng subconsciously held his breath when he saw that the scroll on the table had not been reduced to ash.
The production of Advanced Divine Engraving Scrolls was costly. Each attempt cost 5,110 units of Seven Luminaries Crystal. He had already spent over one million units of Seven Luminaries Crystals thus far. Although this amount of Seven Luminaries Crystals was no longer significant to the current Zero Wing, he’d have spent 1,000 Eternal God Crystals and over one million units of Seven Luminaries Crystal for nothing if he failed to produce the Advanced Divine Enhancent Scroll.
System: Congratulations! You have produced the Advanced Divine Enhancent Scroll.
System: Congratulations! You are the first player to beco an Advanced Divine Engraver. Rewarding Advanced Divine Engraver’s Insignia and one level.
Success! Shi Feng grew ecstatic when he saw the system notifications.
The system rewards were nothing significant. The Advanced Divine Engraver’s Insignia only halved his Concentration expenditure when producing divine engravings, while the level reward only increased his level from 231 to 232. However, his success in producing the Advanced Divine Enhancent Scroll ant that Zero Wing now had the capital to purchase God Crystals in bulk.
For the Greater God’s Domain’s various powers, the Interdiate Divine Enhancent Scroll was only useful for improving the strength of their upper-middle-level combatants. It might help the various powers improve their overall strength considerably, but it wouldn’t be much help in changing their standings in the Greater God’s Domain. This was because the various powers primarily relied on their top-level combatants to compete with one another.
However, it was a different story for the Advanced Divine Enhancent Scroll, which could improve the Basic Attributes of Legendary Equipnt by 50%.
Once a piece of Taboo Legendary Equipnt was enhanced by the Advanced Divine Enhancent Scroll, its Basic Attributes could rival that of Fragnted Divine Artifacts. With Fragnted Divine Artifacts being available in very limited numbers in the current Greater God’s Domain, a batch of Advanced Divine Enhancent Scrolls could let the various powers gain many new top-level combatants.
The attraction of top-level combatants to the various powers far exceeded that of Eternal Coins. Even if Shi Feng had the Abyss Chamber of Comrce charge God Crystals for Advanced Divine Enhancent Scrolls, the various powers would be more than willing to pay the price.
After thinking up to this point, Shi Feng promptly began mass-producing Advanced Divine Enhancent Scrolls.
…
After completing about a dozen Advanced Divine Enhancent Scrolls, Shi Feng decided to sell them through the Abyss Chamber of Comrce to test the waters. However, before he could do so, Blackie suddenly contacted him.
“Guild Leader, the bastards from the Ominous Cavalry attacked one of our leveling teams in the core area’s Frost Shadow Forest!” Blackie reported grimly. “By the ti Vice Guild Leader Frey arrived, over half of the team had been killed. Among them, about 60% are elite mbers who have just reached Level 220. Most of them are only equipped with Level 220 Epic and Fragnted Legendary Equipnt, so they have likely suffered a true death…”
“Do you know where the Ominous Cavalry’s mbers are right now?” Shi Feng’s expression beca indescribably cold when he heard Blackie’s report.
Anyone who could beco an elite mber of Zero Wing was a guild mber who had made significant contributions and possessed great talent and strength. They had trouble displaying their strength only because their levels and equipnt standards lagged behind those of experts of pseudo-apex powers and above. Had they joined a major power instead of Zero Wing, they would have beco elite experts by now.
These players were willing to stay in Zero Wing because they believed in the Guild’s future. Yet, they got bullied by an adventurer team like the Ominous Cavalry.
This ti, the Ominous Cavalry had truly angered Shi Feng.
“According to the Seven Luminaries Alliance, the Ominous Cavalry promptly retreated to Evil Sky City after attacking our mbers, apparently worried about our retaliation,” Blackie said in frustration.
Evil Sky City currently served as Evil Nature’s main headquarters. Its defenses were comparable to those of a Holy City. Now that the Ominous Cavalry’s mbers had taken shelter in the city, Zero Wing could do nothing to them.
“Good! Make sure to keep track of their location!” Shi Feng stated calmly. However, despite his calm tone, Blackie could sense the killing intent he radiated. “Tally the players who have suffered a true death and resurrect them using the Soul Essence in the Guild Warehouse. Also, gather a thousand of the Guild’s fifth-floor experts in the front courtyard. It’s ti we taught the Ominous Cavalry who they can and cannot provoke!”
