Chapter 458: Fusion Talent Advancement Task

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hum!

In the golden chariot, the glow had disappeared from the Golden Buddha, and it was intact again.

“It really is a rewarding battle!”

Ji Ye opened his eyes. He didn’t seem tired.

Instead, he looked a little excited.

Although the Golden Buddha required “Buddhist enlightenment and a connection with Buddha”, it wouldn’t be a problem for him.

The profile of the statue said that there was a possibility of making one comprehend a Transcendent skill. For Ji Ye, it would be the same as fusing the Black Serpent Blood, where he could increase the possibility to 100%.

The only unknown factor was which skill he would learn.

Unlike Daoism, Buddhism didn’t have as many skills.

As mentioned before, the five Buddhist techniques were the Heavenly Eyes Technique, the Heavenly Ears Technique, the Others’ Mind Technique, the Destiny Technique, and the Free Will Technique. Together with the All-Around Technique that one needed to reach the Arhat state, there were six in total.

However, each technique had multiple effects.

The Heavenly Eyes Technique, for instance, included the “Sharp Eyes” type that could see through obstacles, the “True Eyes” that could identify all things false, and the “Magical Eyes” that could see one’s sin.

With the Destiny Technique, some people could see other people’s previous lives, while some could see the future and the consequences of one’s deeds. For instance, Master Zhizhen, Lu Zhishen’s master, had foreseen that he would pass away by the water after reading a letter.

The technique Ji Ye learned this time was also the Heavenly Eyes Technique.

The effect was similar to an “insight” that allowed him to see some of the characteristics of a target that wasn’t too much more advanced than him. The more powerful the target was, the less he could “see”.

It sounded a lot like Li Qing’s Combat Ability Detector.

In fact, the players’ talent skills to some extent had the Transcendent power.

Elder Zhou’s 3D Printing, Elder Meng’s Aura Observation, and Qin Yueyu’s Trajectory Evaluation could all be achieved with Transcendent equipment or skills.

His Fusion talent was, in a sense, almost impossible to replicate.

If his Fusion talent were advanced enough, Ji Ye would probably have comprehended all five techniques in the Golden Buddha!

Luckily, he saw the hint of his Fusion talent making an advancement just then.

After fusing a few types of Buddhist equipment that involved the mental power in a row, Ji Ye finally felt his mental power breaking out from the bottleneck and reaching the Transcendent level.

After the advancement, he received a lot of information in his head.

For instance, the future levels in the Land of Inheritance.

Strictly speaking, creatures in the Land of Inheritance belonged to only one of three levels, namely, Ordinary, Extraordinary, and Transcendent.

As for Legendary and Mythological, they belonged to the Transcendent level as well. These two weren’t “levels” as the Earth civilization had assumed; they were “evaluations”.

Common, Elite, Commander, Boss, Legendary, Mythological…

The gap between a Legendary Transcendent being and a Mythological one would be as big as that between a Commander and a Quasi-Commander or an Elite character.

If a Common Transcendent Rank-2 vampire duke ran into a Mythological Transcendent Rank-2 Abandonment Emperor, without the restraint on different levels, the latter could easily kill a dozen of the former.

Even Fahai, a Legendary being, could easily defeat that vampire.

“Demon! I can see through you right away! Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!” That was something Fahai would say.

“So, theoretically, even a Transcendent Soul of Civilization would be able to summon characters from Legend of White Snake, Journey to the West, or Investiture of the Gods.”

Ji Ye was intrigued.

Of course, it would be less popular and less capable mythological figures.

Characters like the White Snake or Monkey King would be without a doubt Legendary or Mythological and would need corresponding offerings and Souls of Civilization to summon.

Based on the information in his head, theoretically, they wouldn’t make advancement to a Legendary evaluation until they reached Transcendent Rank 5.

Because of that, Ji Ye soon calmed himself down.

In comparison, the next piece of information had a more personal impact.

[“Because your mental power has reached the Transcendent level, you’ve entered the talent skill advancement trial!”]

[“Use your Fusion to create a Transcendent item. Its evaluation and level will determine the inheritance and changeability of your talent.”]

Finally, Fusion was up for an advancement!

When it rose from Ordinary to Extraordinary, it was because Ji Ye killed the Black Serpent.

Ji Ye had guessed that he would need a similar experience to rise to the Transcendent level, but it didn’t happen when he killed the yaksha king.

It seemed that the task would only be triggered by a Transcendent mental power.

“Do I have one chance only for this advancement task?

“Then I’ll have to make sure that the Fusion will succeed. I’d better go back to Dragon City, where the entire settlement can be my guards.”

Ji Ye took the advancement of his talent skill very seriously.

After all, this talent was essential to him.

But he couldn’t go back to Dragon City yet.

After all, he had made the promise and benefited from the Golden Buddha.

He couldn’t turn a blind eye on Monk Bai Yun, whom Granny Tree Demon had captured.

…

“Damn it!”

In Lanruo Temple, a blackish-red tree that covered the entire temple shook violently.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Black leaves fell down as the tree trembled.

They were all fired at the entrance of Lanruo Temple, leaving behind deep marks on the walls as if they were razor-sharp blades.

“I’ve never done anything to you! Why won’t you leave me alone?!”

When the leaves flew out of the temple, the black smoke around the tens of thousands of leaves formed a screaming ghost face that one couldn’t tell its gender.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Meanwhile, branches covered by heavy black smoke twisted and turned on the ground like vipers before they gathered together into one strand.

They also charged out of the temple and ran in a certain direction.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

However, as soon as the leaves and branches exited the temple, they collapsed completely.

“You’ve done nothing to us?”

Ji Ye was outside with Nie Xiaoqian, Dian Wei, Zhiqiu, and Shi Fang.

Dragon Aura filled the air within an area 3m in diameter. The leaves that could cut the wall open were pulverized before they could get close.

“You’ve done things to us! Look who I’ve got here!”

Six sonorous dragon roars filled the air, and Ji Ye destroyed the poisonous branches with Riding Six Dragons.

“Granny, it’s been a while!” Nie Xiaoqian removed the white veil over her face and said calmly.

“You’re… Xiaoqian! How? Didn’t Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen save you hundreds of years ago?”

The ghost face formed by leaves and black smoke looked surprised.

“You b*tch! You’ve lured enemies here again! If I’m going to die today, you’re going down with me!”

The surprise then turned into rage.

In the battle against the old monk the day before, she was severely injured when the monk set off several of his weapons.

Although she had sucked all her subordinates dry to replenish her energy, she couldn’t make a full recovery. Moreover, she had to spend her energy on Monk Bai Yun, who had an “Unbreakable Golden Body”.

Ji Ye was even more capable than Bai Yun, and he had easily destroyed Granny Tree Demon’s minions. The Thousand-Year Tree Demon, her original form, couldn’t move around easily, but she still decided to take Nie Xiaoqian down with her!
