Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Divine Spiritual Tool_1

"However, I didn’t expect the Plague Demon King to also practice alchemy, which is quite unusual."

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then continued to search for things that could be of use to him.

The voice of the Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul, however, did not stop: "Master, that jade plate is likely related to an ancient legacy treasure, and it is very possible that it is one of the keys to unlocking that treasure. The Plague Demon King had just acquired that item and hadn’t had the chance to study it."

"Treasure? That’s interesting, I love treasures the most!"

For Martial Artists, a treasure means the possibility of finding Divine Weapons, Martial Arts Secret Manuals, or even rare and precious treasures.

It is known that the Mysterious World has a history of more than one hundred thousand years, during which there have been several obscure periods with very little recorded history.

Especially the items left by the experts from the era of the King of People a hundred thousand years ago, which to this day have not been discovered by anyone.

Ling Xiao injected his Soul Power into the jade plate to inspect it and found that inside there was indeed a vague image of a place, which looked very much like a tomb. However, because the image was incomplete and not very clear, it was impossible to determine its location for the time being.

Moreover, Ling Xiao knew far too little about the Mysterious World at the moment.

He knew far too little about the Heavenly Dragon Continent as well.

Even if the image were clear and complete, he might not have recognized it.

He decided to keep it for now and study it slowly later. After all, without this key, even if someone else found the treasure, they would not be able to obtain it.

"What’s with this broken umbrella?"

Ling Xiao simply asked.

"That is the ’Plague Umbrella’ previously used by the Plague Demon King, a Divine Spiritual Tool!"

What! It’s actually a Spiritual Tool! And a Divine one at that!

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

No wonder when he touched the broken umbrella, he felt an extremely horrible aura invade his body, as if it wanted to destroy him.

Luckily, he possessed the Mountain and River Martial Soul, and the aura was instantly dissolved into nothingness.

So this was a Divine-grade Spiritual Tool, something he had not anticipated at all.

However, the Plague Demon King was quite cunning. He placed the broken umbrella here, so that if someone really broke in wanting to take his treasure, the horrible aura that would burst forth upon touching the umbrella could instantly kill that person.

Unfortunately for him, Ling Xiao was the one who came here, so his trick was doomed to fail.

"I can’t use this thing."

Ling Xiao thought he had found a great treasure and was overjoyed, but when he attempted to activate the Magical Treasure, unfortunately, there was no effect whatsoever.

It seemed what the books said was correct. Only experts of the Heavenly Person Realm were worthy of using Spiritual Tools. Even though the Plague Umbrella was damaged and had lost much of its power, at the very least, it should be of the Mortal Spirit Artifact standard, which he, as a Transcendent Realm Martial Artist, was not able to operate.

He had once heard Yang Dan Lin mention that the most powerful treasure of the Moon Hua Sect was a Moon Hua Sword, which was considered the guardian treasure of the Sect.

But that was merely a High-Quality Spiritual Artifact.

In the Sect, most elders, even the current Sect Leader, used only Divine Artifacts.

It had been mentioned before that weapons could be classified as Treasures — Spiritual Tools — True Instruments — Supreme Being Tools — Tian Dao Tools.

In the secular world, some also call the latter two as Immortal Artifacts and Divine Artifacts.

Each category of weapon is further divided into classifications: Low-grade — High-Quality — Precious — Immortal-grade — Divine-grade, comprising five levels.

For example, Ling Xiao’s Ice Dragon Sword is classified as a Precious Treasure Artifact, the Floating Snow Sword as a High-Quality Treasure, and that Plague Umbrella as a Mortal-grade Spiritual Tool.

He had already seen quite a number of Treasures, but this was his first time coming across a Spiritual Tool.

According to the records of Moon Hua Sect, the strongest weapon likely to be found in the Heavenly Dragon Continent would be a Spiritual Tool; they had never heard of weapons or Divine Weapons that surpassed the class of Spiritual Tools.

Within the Sect, Treasures were the most common, and most of them were Precious Treasures or below.

Only those from a profound heritage, or Elders and Sect Leaders, would be worthy of possessing Immortal-grade and Divine Artifacts.

Such items would be pillaged immediately upon their appearance in the world.

"I didn’t expect a broken umbrella to also be a Spiritual Tool, but even if it were a Treasure, I probably wouldn’t use it. It would be better to treat it as a material for the crafting of a better Treasured Sword..."

If the Plague Demon King knew Ling Xiao actually planned to use his Magical Treasures as materials to craft a Treasured Sword, he would probably be furious enough to come back to life, wouldn’t he?

But Ling Xiao didn’t care what a dead man thought, he had already made his decision.

To him at his current stage, a Spiritual Tool was meaningless since he couldn’t activate it; it was just a piece of junk.

Speaking of Spiritual Tools, he suddenly remembered a terrifyingly murderous iron shard he had snatched by chance in Yunkong City.

Now that he thought about it, that dreadful murderous aura was even more terrifying than that of the Plague Umbrella.

Could it be that this iron shard was an item of even higher rank than a Spiritual Tool?

Ling Xiao introspected into the Mountain and River World and saw the iron shard planted on a rock, standing out amidst the entirety of heaven and earth, continuously releasing a terrifying murderous aura.

Forget it, this thing is too dangerous. I’ll study it slowly later on.

He continued to plunder the Plague Demon King’s treasure trove and discovered tens of thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones, thousands of Middle-grade Spirit Stones, and hundreds of Upper-grade Spirit Stones.

Of course, he took all of these into his possession.

There were also several Martial Arts Secret Books, all demon techniques from the True Demon Empire and Gold Grade Martial Arts; it’s just a pity that the cultivation methods were completely different from those of the Human Race Martial Arts, and he did not intend to cultivate them. Instead, he collected them to see if he could auction them off later.

He believed that there were likely not a few within the Mysterious World who cultivated demon techniques.

Lastly, he took all of the Gold and Silver for himself.

After all, his Mountain and River World was quite vast. Although Gold and Silver currently have a relatively minor role for Martial Artists, they are not without use.

...

After completely plundering the Plague Demon King’s treasure vault, Ling Xiao went to look for Shangguan Lei.

This mission really proved to be full of twists and turns; Wan Yan Jun and Chen Zui had defected to the enemy’s side so easily, showing no backbone whatsoever.

However, this also spared Ling Xiao the effort of having to kill them himself.

And now, the Precious Treasure weapons of those two, as well as that Gold Brick, had become Ling Xiao’s spoils of war.

Shangguan Lei had passed out at this point, probably because the battle was too intense, and he couldn’t withstand the terrible aura so he fainted.

It must be said, this man was rather fortunate.

If he had decided to blindly follow the dark path as Wan Yan Jun and Chen Zui did, he might also have ended up a tragedy devoured by the Plague Demon King.

Fortunately, he held on to his principles and stood with Ling Xiao, which is what saved his life.

Although he lost a leg, that was not a problem. Transcendent Realm Martial Artists were able to use puppetry to attach prostheses for themselves, and those were very useful.

Hei Suo was once nearly a third destroyed by Ling Xiao but later reconstructed his body entirely using puppet materials.

If Hei Suo could do it, Shangguan Lei certainly could as well, especially considering he had only lost a leg and the rest of him was relatively intact.
