Chapter 7023 Damn it

Chen Xi was somewhat silent as he looked at the thing Ji Zhong had taken out. "Your Ji family can actually produce something like this? I find it a bit outrageous. I can believe you when you say knowledge is passed down in secret, but you even have the tortoise shells that the Shi Huang clan used to record the traces of the Great You? That's just ridiculous!"
After all, that was the Shi Huang clan, the true progenitor of Chinese civilization!

Moreover, even if you have such an ancient artifact, it should be kept in your family's treasury along with the rope inscriptions left by Fuxi and Shennong. I have been to your family's treasury before. You brought such a divine artifact to Chang'an.

Perhaps sensing Chen Xi's strange expression, Ji Zhong coughed twice and explained, "My family is, after all, of the Ji surname, the so-called Ji Shui Xuan Yuan clan. Our ancestors had a responsibility to take charge of this matter. Moreover, now that the essence of heaven and earth has been restored, some divine objects can be used. Although many things were destroyed during the era of the decline of the essence of heaven and earth, there are still some genuine things left."

Chen Xi instantly understood, and also completely grasped why, when the Ji family captured the mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and discovered that the other party was extremely evil and even fishing against them, they decisively sent the aura of the Tiger Soul Blade to them, and were ready to send the aura of the War God Chi You to them at any time.

So the work inherited from their ancestors was to ensure that Da You's self-awareness was not swallowed up by Chi You.

"By the way, why did you bring this thing to Chang'an?" Chen Xi felt it was necessary to ask. It seemed abnormal to bring such a divine artifact to Chang'an.

“Last time I came to Chang’an to attend a grand court assembly, I felt like I almost died. So this time, to avoid that situation, I brought my family’s greatest artifact with me. This is a historical record inscribed by Cangjie of the Shihuang clan. It is a trace left behind when Dayou was not assimilated by the world. It is very effective whether used to protect oneself or to suppress evil.” Ji Zhong said honestly.

There was no way around it; ever since participating in a gathering of aristocratic families in the new era, Ji Zhong had developed a phobia of this kind of thing. However, it involved Chen Xi's future plans, so it was impossible for him not to come.

In fact, the leaders of the major families who came to Chang'an for this conference all brought some tough opponents with them, just to avoid the last time the Weiyang Palace summoning spell directly caused the creation of a towering evil god.

Don't be fooled by the fact that all the major families seemed to have escaped unscathed last time. There was a mistake in one link in the chain, and it was normal for half of the participating families to have died.

The main issue is that in this kind of event, if you don't participate, it would seem somewhat xenophobic; if you do participate, you're literally risking your life to watch. So, after much deliberation, the people from various powerful families who came to Chang'an prepared all sorts of strange and unusual things, after all, they had to give face to Chen Xi's organization.

"Alright." Chen Xi glanced at the tortoise shell Ji Zhong had given him, confirming that it was definitely genuine. His initial worries dissipated considerably. After all, even without this thing, Chen Xi was confident that he could kick the possible avatar of the War God Chi You to the inner side of the world. With this thing, things would be even easier. "I'll borrow this for a bit and return it to you when I'm done."

"Chen Hou, use it as you see fit. The power this thing can unleash in my hands is completely different from the effect it can have in yours." Ji Zhong glanced at it and handed it directly to Chen Xi, without even considering taking it back later.

It's normal. Before, when the God of War Chi You couldn't come down, the essence of heaven and earth hadn't recovered, so this burden wasn't considered very heavy for the Ji family. They just left it there and monitored it. Anyway, the God of War was definitely not going to come down, so there was no need to worry at all. But now it's different. The God of War can really come down. Ji Zhong looked at his thin arms and legs and realized he couldn't handle this responsibility. He'd better give it to the god.

As for the fact that such an action would lead them to abandon the original Shi Huangshi Diary passed down from their ancestors, it doesn't matter. Such things are not as important as their lives!
"Alright, I think I understand what you mean." Chen Xi held the tortoise shell up to his eyes and examined it carefully. He felt that this job was indeed quite dangerous for the Ji family. Perhaps the Ji family, which used to be considered responsible, could handle it, but the current Ji family was completely incompetent!
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Chen." Ji Zhong bowed deeply. This job had finally been handed over. If the Ji family continued to act so arrogantly, they would be killed by the military lord who fell from the sky sooner or later.

“No problem. In exchange, I need an etched rune from the Shi Huang clan era as a reference.” Chen Xi casually put away the tortoise shell and then spoke directly to Ji Zhong.

This tortoise shell is indeed a treasure, but it's a hot potato for the Ji family. Although handing it over to Chen Xi is a mutually beneficial arrangement, Chen Xi will definitely take the opportunity to take advantage of the Ji family, since etching is something that requires learning from many sources.

“We don’t have a complete version of this either. We only have illustrations, not accurate interpretations. It may have existed in ancient times, but that’s too long ago. Plus, with the trouble caused by the separation of heaven and earth, a lot of the data is indeed damaged and difficult to verify,” Ji Zhong said honestly to Chen Xi.

It's been ten years since Yuanfeng was established, and all the major families are now familiar with Chen Xi's character and conduct. There's no point in lying to Chen Xi; on the contrary, it's best to speak frankly about any needs or thoughts you have. Even if there are some points that contradict your ideas, Chen Xi will explain them to you if he considers that you are telling the truth.

"Having illustrations is enough. We'll verify the detailed analysis ourselves. The runes we took out from Odin's Tomb are actually in the same situation. There are still some differences between ancient times and now. Those ancient things are mainly used for comparison and reference." Chen Xi said calmly. From the beginning, the runes taken out from Odin's Tomb were not intended to be copied entirely. Chen Xi's idea was to learn from the ideas within and create his own unique system.

After all, if you directly copy something, it's easy to end up having to catch up later, and the overall environment has also changed. Building your own system is still very important.

"That's no problem. Marquis Chen can send someone to copy it at any time," Ji Zhong said generously, without mentioning anything about the Han dynasty creating something better in the future and having them copy it.

"Then let's continue watching the match. I think it should be almost over if nothing unexpected happens." Chen Xi pointed to the direction of Slavnis below. This guy is currently on a path of defying the heavens.

To be honest, Chen Xi now really thinks that the equipment Zhang Yong came up with is toxic. Every veteran who wears this thing looks like he's going to rape the world and conquer the universe. It's really unbelievable!

"Hey, isn't this Sean?" Not long after Slavnis kicked the Kushan veteran Rost to death, he encountered his own Roman brothers.

After taking a quick look and confirming that it was only half a monster, Slavnis decided it was better not to waste time on Sean. After all, he really didn't want to fight the Tenth Knight Centurion, who had barely mastered single-target miracle transformation but wasn't using it very well.

"Lord Slavnis," Sean said politely. After all, he was the youngest among all the Roman veterans participating in the competition, only 27 years old, a true elite. Moreover, because of his youth, he had great respect for older comrades like Hasgard. Therefore, upon seeing Slavnis, he respectfully bowed to him.

"How's your Miracle Transformation going?" Slavnis asked with a hint of curiosity.

Sean's current situation is strange. Single-target miracle transformation is only half-baked for Sean. Sometimes he can use it, and sometimes he can't. The two Tenth Knights are not quite sure why. So they sent Sean to the Han Dynasty with the intention of letting Sean see more types of strong people who have mastered single-target miracle transformation, so that he can learn from others' experiences.

"It's hard to say. I haven't encountered a single owner of a single miracle," Sean said helplessly. "I did run into several groups of Han Dynasty veterans, but luckily I ran fast."

Sean's strength was not bad, but there were no weak contestants in the Grand Martial Arts Competition. Everyone was stronger and stronger. As a result, apart from seizing the opportunity to kill two lone Han Dynasty veterans and accumulating more than 4,000 points, Sean spent the rest of his time either being chased or wandering around like he was now.

There's no way around it; the Sixfold is not so easy to kill. If Sean can fully unleash the charm of a single Miracle, with his strong physique and superhuman stamina, he has nothing to fear in a head-on confrontation with the Sixfold. Moreover, with the even more monstrous stats and mechanics of Miracle, turning the tables on his opponent wouldn't be too difficult.

However, since Sean's Miracle Transformation was still in its early stages and not fully mastered, he often found himself without it when he wanted to use it against opponents. Just when he was about to be killed, a miracle would suddenly appear from his mind, allowing him to escape successfully.

Furthermore, the veteran of the sixth level wasn't blind. When the opponent fought desperately and unleashed combat power similar to his own, and it wasn't a negative type of talent, but could unleash it one after another, the sixth level of the Han Dynasty didn't want to chase after this lousy monster anymore. A mere thousand points, with a chance to unleash a counterattack and kill him, and running fast, he gave up after chasing for a couple of times.

Of course, this is only one aspect of the reason. Another reason is probably because there is an older brother who has been protecting Sean and will step in to stop the pursuers when necessary.

“I did encounter a user of a single-target miracle, he was incredibly strong, he humiliated me for a long time, but luckily the tables have turned.” Slavnis smacked his lips twice, then looked at Sean and said, “Show me your single-target miracle a couple of times.”

"Okay." Sean didn't think much of it and started trying. Perhaps it was just bad luck, but it took Sean almost fifteen tries to successfully use Miracle Transformation once. Slavnis watched Sean's actions, remained silent for a while, and then tried it himself. Slavnis actually managed to control Sean's single-target Miracle Transformation, and it showed the effect that Slavnis wanted!

At this moment, Slavnis was extremely shocked. To be honest, he really did apply some of his experience from when he was controlled by Zhang Yong to Sean, and that's how he successfully controlled him!
This is truly unbelievable!
These words flashed through Slavnis's mind, then he instantly erased them. Whether or not he saw a ghost was no longer important; what mattered was that he could control the power of miracles. Although he didn't have this thing, Sean did!
Thinking of this, Slavnis's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Sean; if it were nighttime, his eyes alone could illuminate an area.

"Sean, you really are my lucky star!" Slavnis said excitedly. As soon as he said this, Sean suddenly felt his perspective change drastically, because Slavnis was manipulating the power of miracles to twist Sean into his armor.

"It was truly worth enduring humiliation and hardship to learn how to control the power of miracles from Zhang Yong." Slavnis felt the power of miracles surging around him and truly felt Zhang Yong's strength. It was too strong, too exhilarating, too powerful. This was the power to sweep across the universe!

To be fair, manipulating the power of miracles is not difficult, at least not for a strong person with a will that has broken through limits. As long as there is a veteran who has achieved individual miracle transformation, like Zhang Yong, to share with him, allowing him to experience and feel the power of miracles and learn to control and use miracle transformation, it won't take long at all.

After all, that's a breakthrough in willpower. Even if it's not as rare as a single person achieving a miracle, it's still a talent that only one in ten million people can possess.

Therefore, such individuals only need to comprehend the concept of individual miracles to control this power. The only difficulty is probably the lack of extra miracle power for them to manipulate.

Ultimately, even a powerful figure with a single miraculous transformation cannot consume enough of the miraculous power he possesses. Even Zhang Yong cannot truly achieve infinite stamina or infinite miraculous power. If one truly possessed infinite miraculous power, what would the indestructible golden nature amount to?
Miracles, in terms of their height, are no less than rules, and the value of gold is unaffected by external rules, but all of this has a logic of exertion within it.

Just like water extinguishes fire, can a basin of water extinguish the sun?

Once the essence is achieved, what needs to be improved is the energy level and scale. Obviously, as of now, every strong person who can reach the level of miracles does not have enough miracle power to use!

Therefore, theoretically speaking, even if Slavnis mastered the method of using the power of miracles, it would be meaningless in essence, because he did not possess it.

However, life is full of opportunities. After all, the life essence of the terrifying upright ape is only to eat a few meals a day to keep itself alive. As for reproduction, it is a racial task. Whether an individual does it or not is not important. Humans have not yet reached the point where the failure of a certain individual to reproduce directly affects the survival of humanity.

So relax, once you've finished cooking, you can sit back and watch life's ups and downs!
Now, Slavnis has obtained something that was theoretically impossible for him to obtain in his life. At this moment, Slavnis used the power of miracles. Moreover, after enduring humiliation and learning from Zhang Yong, Slavnis can now use this power as easily as his own limbs!
"Hahaha, I'm absolutely invincible, hahaha!" Slavnis was overjoyed. At this moment, the puzzle of his sweeping through the entire small world was complete.

"Slavnis, you bastard!" Just as Slavnis was laughing wildly, Korovia, who had been following Sean for six or seven miles after discovering him, rushed out of the forest and launched a powerful attack on Slavnis without any hesitation.

Standing just over two meters tall and weighing a terrifying 450 kilograms, Korovia, who had undergone rigorous training in the First Auxiliary Legion and whose few exposed parts gleamed with a bronze luster, pounced out like a giant bear and kicked Slavnis in the direction of him.

With his innate power as the core, his steel body as the skeleton, the release of power as the enhancement, and the manipulation of the atmosphere as the extension, combined with his terrifying explosive force, Korovia unleashed a kick that created a wall of solidified atmosphere in front of Slavnis, accompanied by terrifying shockwaves.

The steel-like air pressure struck Slavnis, and even with his immense strength, he couldn't escape instantly. He was swept away like a small insect trapped in amber by the air wall and crashed heavily into a nearby boulder.

Korovia, who had kicked Slavnis dozens of meters away, roared and charged at Slavnis again. Slavnis, who had realized what had happened, dodged without saying a word. Even as a seventh-level expert, he did not want to be beaten by the iron fist of an elite from the First Auxiliary Legion, because that could really kill someone!
"Korovia!" Slavnis's Incineration talent was unleashed to its limit. His will broke through the limits, manipulating the miraculous power flowing from his shoulder armor to enhance his Incineration and Sacrifice. With a single burst of flame, he directly destroyed Korovia's atmospheric control and prevented the other party from sealing him off.

"How dare you!" Korovia didn't care the moment his atmospheric control collapsed. His greatest strength was his terrifying power and the semi-intuitive combat awareness he had developed from countless battles. As long as he got close to Slavnis, without the constraints of atmospheric control on his opponent and the transfer of his own power, it wouldn't be a big deal!
"Tch!" Slavnis slammed the Will Beyond Sword into his cross spear and unleashed a beam of willpower directly at Korovia. The mere radiance of the beam was enough to cause Korovia to feel a stinging pain in her will due to the absurd nature of Will Beyond.

These slight stings to the will further reduced Korovia's upper limit of strength, which was followed by Slavnis's almost godlike slash!

　They're having a "Light of the Gods" event lately. If you can, just click a few, even if it's just to fill the quota. *sigh*

　　Also, I'd like to recommend a book, *Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts*, which is a new book by the author "Steamed Bun." He's incredibly reliable; this book will definitely be completed, and he'll surely resolve all the plot points. The character portrayals are very faithful to the source material. Those interested should check it out.
