Free Web NovelChapter 936: Chapter 29: Ning Zheng’s Speculation, Jiu Shui Ascends to Immortality
Add points!
Boom.
The next second, space turbulence surged.
In a shattered, desolate Chaotic Void, ruins seemed to reflect an era of melancholy.
On the throne, the tattered black cloak hung on the chair slowly took flight, traversing space turbulence, and fell before Ning Zheng.
Rustling~
This black misty cloak turned out to be an energy body, with shadow but formless.
Upon landing in the room, it was visible yet intangible, incredibly peculiar.
The cloak slowly covered a square server, which then vanished into void, becoming shadowy and formless as well.
Ning Zheng reached out to touch the server, feeling nothing but sensing this unique Magical Artifact that recognized its owner.
With a thought.
Whoosh!
The shadow server abruptly merged into Ning Zheng’s shadow, becoming one.
"Interesting." Ning Zheng realized carrying this server would be much more convenient in the future.
From this, he boldly suspected something.
The past Realms have been decimal-based; the Realm after becoming an Immortal might also follow this system.
Tens of millions for the Self-Transformation Realm.
A hundred million to a billion for Human Immortal.
A billion to ten billion for Celestial Immortal.
Ten billion to a hundred billion for True Immortal.
A hundred billion to a trillion for Tao Venerate.
Meaning, whether it was the 8000 billion mysterious Immortal Artifact I acquired back then or the 8000 billion Immortal Artifact now,
they might be Tao Venerate legacies left by some Immortal Venerates of history?
Based on this calculation, my server’s grade and level are no weaker than an actual Tao Venerate Immortal Artifact!
Convert it again.
I earned over 9000 billion in a month and a half.
In just a month and a half, I obtained a remnant artifact of a Tao Venerate?
That’s a massive profit.
I could switch careers to the richest man in the Immortal Realm, an inheritance tycoon.
From this point, my utilization rate of Qi Fortune is definitely higher than that of a Tao Venerate.
Tao Venerates might also have huge Qi Fortune, similar to mine, but sitting on a treasure mountain, they couldn’t leverage it to gain top-notch treasures.
Otherwise, throughout the endless years, all kinds of treasures would have been taken away by them using space turbulence, leaving nothing for Ning Zheng.
After all, just think about it.
Tao Venerates started halfway; only after becoming Immortal did they start cultivating Destiny. Surely, Daoists of the same level who achieved Immortality are much stronger than them.
After all, Daoists have fragile bodies and weak souls; the primary cultivation of the three systems is Fortune, which naturally brings great advantages.
"So, I can basically guess the origin of my Qi Fortune Gambling Table."
Ning Zheng walked to the window, glancing at the Protective Shield over Sword Casting Manor, where ironworkers were gleefully behaving like Big Fish Eat Small Fish, and calmly said:
"It might be a Magical Treasure left by a very rare Qi Fortune-based force of some Tao Venerate."
"He specialized in Fortune; other Tao Venerates couldn’t possibly match his Fortune utilization rate!"
"But I feel that the Qi Fortune Gambling Table in my hands must have been acquired through a significant miracle."
Ning Zheng wasn’t foolish, like those dull-witted protagonists in stories who wouldn’t associate this with its origin even when the truth lay in plain sight.
His perception was speculative.
Lacking any evidence.
But do I need evidence?
Even if there’s a 10% possibility the speculation is real, it’s necessary to take precautions.
To prevent those Immortal Venerates from targeting me, attacking me, or robbing me...
You have to live cautiously to survive.
Moreover, though it seems I could gain a remnant legacy artifact of a Tao Venerate in just a month and a half...
It looks like a huge gain.
But one must be aware, the number of Tao Venerates who have perished in history is limited.
Sooner or later, Ning Zheng will exhaust their legacies.
At that time, even with a large Destiny Value, Ning Zheng wouldn’t be able to obtain excellent Immortal Venerate Artifacts.
Ning Zheng’s days of extracting others’ artifacts through "space turbulence" would end.
As for using a Qi Fortune Gambling Table to create Immortal Venerate Artifacts out of thin air?
That’s simply impossible.
Even extracting a ready-made one requires tens of billions, and the astronomical "luck" needed to physically spawn one from void is truly unimaginable!
It’s totally not worth it.
At that time, it would be more fitting to craft Immortal Venerate Artifacts myself.
"This means that my Qi Fortune Gambling Table, as an Immortal Venerate Treasure, is indeed nearly omnipotent below Immortal Venerate, but not as powerful beyond."
"Yet, it’s understandable; if it were stronger, how could its previous owner have fallen?"
Ning Zheng pondered.
But all this was mere speculation of his own.
He was too lazy to think further and started setting up his current plan.
The four proposals of Jiucai Rong?
Since Jiucai Rong and others were so optimistic about the forging path of the Treasure Lotus Lamp and attracted people to the Celestial Destiny World, he agreed to their idea.
After all, forging is the main line.
Besides, even if some Immortal Venerates crave me, I can’t stay inactive and must engage with some forces.
Taking initiative is the way to go.
Another point, the previous search by blacksmiths for True Immortal forces with no Immortal Venerate background was clearly correct!
Who knows, might that Immortal Venerate notice something amiss with this Daoist’s Destiny system?
The True Immortal level fits just right.
Even just utilizing the True Immortal force, and self-developing for ten years, Ning Zheng felt he could take off.
And ten years is hardly difficult?
Immortal Venerates in seclusion for a single slumber exceed even that.
Furthermore, Ning Zheng’s Destiny Value of 203 billion is enough to ensure he won’t be discovered in a short time.
When Ning Zheng passed the news of the "Treasure Lotus Lamp" over, the manager’s office erupted in cheers:
"Great! Let’s go with Treasure Lotus Lamp. We’ve already contacted the neighbor big shot and started forging!"
"Super Seven Colors Street Lamp—Treasure Lotus Lamp!"
"Forging this thing, the neighbors are the professionals! We must establish the name and reputation of our Xirong Manor and astonish those Immortals!"
They had no delusions their forging technology was high.
But they knew that if they forged a certain class of Immortal Artifact, it’d be extremely rare even in the Immortal Realm!
Qi Fortune Divine Artifact.
Let’s show that True Immortal force our strength.
...
The next morning.
Ning Zheng rarely went to relax.
He went to watch a round of the Big Fish Eat Small Fish finals, though they called it the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Sitting high atop the managerial stand, observing the scene where they turned into Hybrid Demons and all sorts of strange fish, madly hunting, growing, and devouring.
A full of obsessions fusion turning into a mixed-type Demon Monster, then using Xian’s flesh and blood to transform into the Demon Ghost King.
Ning Zheng found the process rather enjoyable.
After the finals, he rewarded some outstanding newbie blacksmiths with several Village Swords, which delighted them to no end.
"Thank you, Elder Manager!"
"You are so handsome!"
"Limited, limited weapon! Hahaha!"
"Let me see!"
"There’s even the manager’s body warmth on it!"
"Nonsense."
In such joyful laughter, he participated in this timed Classic of Mountains and Seas event, fulfilling his duty as the Newbie Village Chief.
But their races really aren’t good.
Most Middle Grade and Upper Grade races are already quite good, higher in the Nine-State food chain, but who told Ning Zheng to have high standards?
Leading up to the next day.
Ning Zheng went to Xirong Academy, fulfilling his duties, observing and sightseeing everywhere, for he couldn’t stay absent for too long either.
Meanwhile, he enjoyed some delicious food and relaxed his mind.
Overall, it was a long-awaited relaxation and joy.
However, on the third day of Ning Zheng’s rest, a sudden thunder struck, tearing the sky apart.
A terrifying Immortal suddenly descended.
"I am Jiu Shui, having broken into the Immortal Realm."
"In other realms, it is customary for those who achieve Immortality to preach for the next epoch of creatures; our Nine-State should likewise follow."
"Tomorrow dawn, I shall preach at the South Sea, welcoming Founding Ghost Kings of each new era to listen."
As the voice fell, the Nine-State boiled.
