Li Changzhou also saw the [Candle Yin].
[Beyond the Northwestern Sea, to the north of the Red Waters, there lies Zhangwei Mountain. There resides a god, named Candle Yin.]
There were no extra details provided, just two words—has god!
In the image, Candle Yin appeared like a pillar supporting the heavens, standing tall between heaven and earth, measuring tens of thousands of meters if it were in the real world.
Such a creature could simply swipe its tail and flatten Ming City like a sandcastle, without even causing much of a stir, for it was too simple, the strength too immense.
It's like a person taking a long time to kill a pig, overturning bowls and dishes, but to squash an ant, it just takes a gentle press of a fingertip.
Indeed worthy of the title 'has god'!
[Giant Kun] was also something Li Changzhou could learn.
[Its head at the West Pole, tail in the East Wilderness, raising the waves of the Four Seas, its vast belly swallows the wilds]
It was another remarkable Visualization, with its massive size going without saying, but what was key was 'its vast belly swallows the wilds,' which easily brought to mind the "Beiming Divine Skill."
Could it possibly absorb others' "Abilities"?
It wasn't just Li Changzhou who was struggling with the decision; the other three ladies were also hesitant, given the plethora of choices.
In the end, Turquoise Pool chose [The Queen Mother of the West]—no wonder the "Curious Record" had speculated she was the reincarnation of the Queen Mother.
[Queen Mother of the Western Heaven, with the most primal Yin Qi, reversing Earth and Kun, holding night and moon in her palm, the foremost among female immortals.] Newest update provıded by 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan still trusted 'The World's Number One' and chose [Yin Yang Double Snakes].
After the three of them had chosen these two Visualizations, the corresponding entries, images, and all disappeared from the "Scripture of Mountains and Seas," leaving only blank yellowed pages.
"What I really wanted was [Roc]," Li Qianxia said, turning the pages of the "Scripture of Mountains and Seas" to [Vermilion Bird], pouting as she spoke.
Before Li Changzhou made his choice, she didn't utter a word, even claiming it was all right. But after he had chosen, she pretended to self-pity and started to complain.
"Wait a minute," Li Changzhou grabbed her fine hand that was about to press down on the page, "the 'Scripture of Mountains and Seas' states that each Visualization can only be practiced by one person, but it doesn't say that one person can only practice one type."
"To be precise, you've only learned half a type," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Li Qianxia hadn't realized what he meant yet.
"Try it," Li Changzhou said, flipping the book to the [Giant Kun] page.
As soon as he placed his hand on it, thinking 'I want to cultivate,' [Giant Kun] transformed into a mass of dark light, shot out of the "Scripture of Mountains and Seas," and merged into his Dantian—the [Yin Yang Double Snakes] had gone into his brow.
After seeing this scene, Turquoise Pool tried to flip to [Green Bird], but... couldn't open the page, and when looking at the , none of the entries were illuminated.
Li Changzhou tried to flip to other pages, but this time he could not open them either.
He turned his gaze toward Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan tried as well, and the previously freely selectable "Scripture of Mountains and Seas" had dimmed completely.
The issue wasn't that both of them had learned half of [Yin Yang Double Snakes]... Li Changzhou thought about his two Identity Cards; could it be related? Or perhaps it was due to the "Black Fog"?
"Li Changzhou, I want to report you," Turquoise Pool pointed at Li Changzhou, reminiscent of a beautiful group leader in high school collecting homework from the night before, threatening to write down your name while simultaneously letting you copy everyone else's work to prevent identical answers.
"Hehe," Li Qianxia chuckled as she learned [Roc], unconcerned about the ramifications.
All four of them were 'S+' rank, with Li Changzhou holding two 'S+' Visualizations!
The rewards from this trip to Tokyo were so substantial that they felt almost embarrassed, which is why they chose not to look into the "Search for Gods" anymore—as it would have been useless anyhow.
Exiting the dazzling corridor, the Emerald Bee Sword and Blood-colored Steel Spear still had not been engraved.
Due to the effects of 'One Device Through,' the Emerald Bee Sword now only responded to Li Changzhou and to Yang Qinglan, who loved him and whom he loved; in anyone else's hands, it was merely the size of an embroidery needle.
Engraving on an embroidery needle-sized Weapon would take even more time.
Utilizing this time, Turquoise Pool said:
"Zheng Qing, can you tell us what the 'Storm' stole? It seems like it's something that can exchange bodies. As the ones responsible for bringing it back, we should at least know how to guard against it, right?"
"It's not just about exchanging bodies," Yang Qinglan added, "during the battle, 'Storm' was very confident in the appearance of a helicopter at Shibuya's crossroads, the possession of time-stopping ability of a Player."
Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, and after getting approval from the logistics group, explained to the three of them.
"It's one of the 'Three Divine Artifacts of Fortune' called the 'Fortune Golden Pen'. It uses one's own fortune as ink to write down destinies.
"Cao Liang—Storm—with his not inconsiderable fortune among the nation's elite, used his own to write that he would obtain the body-swapping item. Everything that happened at Shibuya's crossroads was also his creation.
"At the same time, this had also almost depleted his fortune, and obtaining the time-stopping ability did not restore his fortune to a safe level, which is why he died there."
"Can we let death row inmates write?" Li Qianxia asked, immediately dismissing her own question, "Forget it, how could death row inmates have any fortune."
Zheng Qing nodded and said, "Furthermore, while this item seems powerful, if one is not careful, the user could end up in danger due to excessive consumption of fortune, or even die."
After thinking for a moment, Li Changzhou said, "Why not establish a specialist group dedicated to researching how to consume fortune, but achieve the goal of having it return afterward, perhaps even exceeding its previous levels—is that feasible?"
"The Special Warfare Bureau is already working on it," Zheng Qing replied.
"Please speak," Zheng Qing's gaze shifted to Yang Qinglan.
"Could you let me take a look at 'Storm's' Identity Card? I want to know about the time stopping information."
"Let me see it as well," Turquoise Pool added.
"It's almost impossible to find two instincts that are exactly alike in this world, but it doesn't matter if you take a look," Zheng Qing said.
