Chapter 246 - Blazing Golden Eyes
Chapter 246: Blazing Golden Eyes
Mount Qingmang, Dongyu City.
Jiang Feng was quite lucky this time. Using the Teleporting Cauldron had teleported him to Dongyu City.
In that case, he could save on a Polymorph Pill as he did not need to teleport to Dongyu City again.
Ding. System Prompt: Seal Breaking Pill’s effect has ended.
With the Seal Breaking Pill’s effect having ended, his powers were once again sealed.
The Abbot Lanruo’s Golden Body’s effect still had around 50 minutes left, so he did not rush back to Mount Huaguo. Instead, he looked for a monster territory with level 70 monsters that had no one in it.
He was currently at level 70, and he was about to reach level 71. Once Abbot Lanruo’s Golden Body’s effect had expired, his levels would decrease by 2, and he would become level 68.
It would be very difficult for his levels to be increased at this stage. It would be fine to lose levels normally, but if his levels were to drop below level 69, it would be quite difficult to increase his level to level 70 again as that was the bottleneck.
And that was why he was going to use this remaining time to get his level up.
Scarlet Poison Spider: Level 70 Normal Monsters
HP: 2,300,000
Attacks: 200,000 – 250,000
Defense: 80,000
When he saw the giant spiders that were on fire, he rushed over with his Jingu Staff.
His attack was 300,000. With the bonus from Abbot Lanruo’s Golden Body, his attack would be 390,000. With all the skills on him, he could easily defeat the Scarlet Poison Spiders.
At this stage, none of his followers were in the Qiankun Gourd. He was not able to take them all back after the game’s update. His guess was that his followers were still recruiting other bosses to join the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
“Transmute Monster, Transmute!”
After he had killed the Scarlet Poison Spider in a few hits, he quickly used Transmute Monster.
Ding. System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. You have gained one Poison Sac, one Evolution Pill, and one Level 70 Experience Pill.
Ding. System Prompt. Congratulations on reaching level 71. You have received 10 free attribute points.
He was originally quite close to leveling up to level 71, so after taking the level 70 experience pill, he managed to get to level 71.
After reaching level 71, he continued to kill monsters with unimaginable speed.
“Tidal Wave, Slam of Mount Tai, Fire Serpent, Rain of Fire…”
In order to quickly increase his level to level 72, he used all his powerful skills. In a short while, all he could see were the bodies of the Scarlet Poison Spider, and there were around 300 of them. His experience points were also increasing rapidly.
“Transmute Monster, Transmute!”
As he killed the monsters, he also kept on using Transmute Monster and eating the Experience Pills.
After almost one hour, he had almost massacred the monsters on Mount Qingmang. If he were seen by the other players, they would be shocked.
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 72. You have received 10 free attribute points.
Ding. System Prompt: Abbot Lanruo’s Golden Body’s effect has ended, level -2.
“Whew… that was close. My level almost dropped under 70!”
After using a Level 70 Experience Pill, he managed to level up to level 72. The moment he leveled up to level 72, Abbot Lanruo’s Golden Body’s effect expired and he instantly lost the two levels that he had just gained.
“Abbott Lanruo’s Golden Body isn’t as effective on me when I’m in my full power. Seeing that it’s so hard to increase levels, I should use it less from now on!”
At this point, increasing one level required double the experience from the previous level. If it were others, losing one level would require farming for several days to get that level back up.
Luckily, he could level quickly because of his amount of skills and the Experience Pills. Otherwise, he would not be able to level up so quickly.
Especially in the situation just now where he had to fight against time. He was able to kill the monster extremely quickly, and the other players and Inheritors would not be able to compare with him.
“Let us go to Mount Huaguo!”
After his level had returned to level 70, he summoned the Monster Cloud and headed to Mount Huaguo.
With the bonus from Somersault Cloud skill, the Monster Cloud’s speed had been increased by 5 and that made it travel quickly.
Since it was night time, players who were farming for experience points could not see the Monster Cloud even if they looked up.
After 5 minutes, they had returned to Mount Huaguo.
He entered Mount Huaguo’s Shuilian Cave and came next to the Stone Monkey.
The sunset had disappeared, and the Stone Monkey was squatting on a tree branch quietly, looking at the night sky with eyes that were lacking focus.
Jiang Feng came next to the Stone Monkey and took out the Qiankun Gourd, then released the Stone Monkey’s soul from within.
“Haha, thanks a lot, Shifter Emperor!”
The moment the Stone Monkey’s soul saw his body, he thanked Jiang Feng and entered back into his body.
The moment the soul entered the body, Stone Monkey’s Body trembled, and his focusless eyes shot out a beam of golden light that pierced through the clouds.
When the monkeys nearby saw this, they all knelt.
“Haha! I have returned!”
The Stone Monkey did a somersault and stood up, howling into the air.
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations on completing Uproar in Heaven – Save Fairy Violetglow’s side quest, ‘Finding the Stone Monkey’s Missing Soul.’ You received the Blazing Golden Eyes skill book, 10,000,000 experience points, and 2,000 reputation points.
“Hm? Blazing Golden Eyes?”
Jiang Feng became excited. He did not expect to be able to learn Sun Wukong’s new skill, the Blazing Golden Eyes. That was a Divine-level skill.
Blazing Golden Eyes: Divine Level Skill
Can identify any equipment, and identify any item’s stats. Can be used to see through enemies’ disguise and identify enemies’ weaknesses.
Blazing Eyes: You can use the Blazing Eyes skill in battle. Two Flames of Samadhi will appear and deal 200% of base damage. Cooldown of 5 minutes.
Other than its power, another strength that a Divine Level skill had was its low cooldown.
Ding. System Prompt: A reminder. The Skill Limit is 100 and you are unable to learn any more new skills. You must replace a random old skill with the new skill if you wish to. Will you learn the new skill?
Jiang Feng was about to use the skill book when the system’s voice entered his ears.
“I forgot I’ve reached the limit for the number of skills that I can learn. But most of the skills that were in the 100 were skills that I won’t use anyways. With my luck, it probably won’t overwrite one of my powerful skills. Just learn it!”
He took out the Ruler of Hakai and learned the Blazing Golden Eyes skill as he gritted his teeth.
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations, you have learned the Blazing Golden Eyes skill. Earth Needle skill disappeared.
Next, a golden light flashed in his pair of eyes, becoming sharper and even more charismatic. In order to test the effect of his skills, his gaze fell on Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong: Level 10 Sacred Beast (Young, Unawakened)
HP: 1,000,000
Attack: 200,000
Defense: 50,000
Skill: Blazing Golden Eyes
‘Looks like Sun Wukong has returned to his youth, and all his skills are gone. Once he is awakened, his power should restore somewhat,” Jiang Feng thought to himself as he looked at Sun Wukong’s stats.
“Great Saint, this is your weapon. I am returning this to you!”
And he was quite generous as well, as he took out the Jingu Staff and gave it to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and smiled. “No need, no need. I don’t have the power to use it. Take it for now. I still have something I wanted to ask you to help me with, so the Jingu Staff might be able to help you along the way.”
“Great Saint, what is it?” Here it is, a side quest was coming just as he expected.
“Follow me to Mount Fangcun, and look for my master!” Sun Wukong said.
Ding. System Prompt: Will you accept the Uproar in Heaven – Save Fairy Violetglow’s side quest, “Escort Sun Wukong to Mount Fangcun?”
“Accept!”
As the main quest out of the ten main plot quests, he was getting used to the number of side quests he had to do for Uproar in Heaven.
But after he accepted it and looked at the quest, he instantly became speechless.
Escort Sun Wukong to Mount Fangcun: Uproar in Heaven Plot Quest
Escort Sun Wukong to Mount Fangcun to find a master and learn the arts. You may not use the Teleportation Circles and the Town Portal skills, You may not use flying steeds. You may not use any teleportation items. You can only use land-based steed in your journey.
“Sh*t, that means if I don’t finish this quest, I wouldn’t be able to use Town Portal skills and Teleportation Circles. Looks like I have to find a land-based steed and head to Mount Fangcun!”
But he understood why after giving it some thought. The reason that it had this limitation was that he could get to Mount Fangcun by teleporting a few times. If that was the case, then the side quest would be very easy.
“Great Saint, do you know where Mount Fangcun is?”
Mount Fangcun should also be considered a sect. But other than the Shifter Emperor Palace on the map, there were not any other sects.
If he did not know where the sect was, he would not even know where to head to. As such, he asked Sun Wukong.
