Shen Feiâs heart was greatly startled, hurriedly shouting, "I am truly useful, truly. Moreover, I can help you master the Dugu Family, even the Heavenly Pride Club!"
"Useful or not, it doesnât matter."
"Once a demon, always a demon. Iâm too lazy to explain, and youâre not worthy of listening!"
As Shen Feiâs words fell, the Empress flicked her finger, and a ray of light pierced through Dugu Hongchenâs forehead.
In the next moment.
The light bounced out from Dugu Hongchenâs body, and at the same time, Dugu Hongchenâs form turned to ashes.
Moments later.
Shen Feiâs eyes flickered, and Little Pu extracted the more useful information from Dugu Hongchenâs memories.
Presented in a film-like manner to inform Shen Fei.
"Gathered by others during his youth, he founded the Celestial Destiny Sect, indeed considered one of the founding elders, but so many years have passed."
Shen Fei looked somewhat puzzled, "Dugu Hongchen surprisingly doesnât know this Sect Leaderâs identity, the only speculation is.
Having once received a profession inheritance from a Heavenly King of the Divine Dynasty."
Shen Fei didnât expect that Dugu Hongchenâs memories held substantial gains.
Directly filling much of his knowledge of Blue Starâs secrets, perhaps these his master also knew.
But having no reason to directly tell him, saying it outright would instead add to his worries.
"The Divine Dynasty, the Ancient Secret Realm was established by the powerful figures back then, and in resisting higher-tier Abyssal entities.
Were once members of the Divine Dynasty?"
"Blue Star surprisingly is one of the legitimate branches of the Divine Dynasty." Shen Fei digested the many pieces of information obtained from Dugu Hongchenâs memories.
Given Dugu Hongchenâs power on Blue Star, and his status within the Celestial Destiny Sect, this information should be accurate.
There are still many pieces of information Shen Fei hasnât finished reviewing, since Dugu Hongchen lived so long.
Shen Fei thinks it will take a long time to fully digest everything.
Some information can be saved for when needed.
He primarily wants to understand the purpose of this Celestial Destiny Sectâs action.
"The six Tier Ten members of the Cold Heaven Race were due to the extermination of the Cold Heaven Race.
Severely wounded, recuperating in the Cold Heaven Ice Tomb.
If no Tier Ten appears, itâs hard to alarm them."
"The god of the Cold Abyss wants to restore to a sufficient level of power, then use the strength of these six Tier Tens to recover.
To gather Divine Throne resonance and break through once more.
And these six Tier Tens are lying dormant in the place of the Cold Heaven Ice Tomb."
Shen Fei suddenly remembered the âCold Heaven Tomb Keyâ that appeared after slaying the god of the Cold Abyss.
Could it be the key to open the Cold Heaven Ice Tomb?
"If so, itâs a major score..." Shen Fei muttered, since these are six injured Tier Tens.
No matter how injured, they are still Tier Tens, and categorized as Abyssal Creatures.
If the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and the Empress were to consume them...
The allure had Shen Feiâs mind somewhat dazed, but soon he snapped back to reality.
"Not necessarily, since those beings get to lie in that place, not even worried about outsiders entering.
Itâs extremely likely that there was already preparation, even if the Cold Abyss god was assured, itâs because she herself was a Cold Heaven Race member."
"The Cold Heaven Ice Tomb likely possesses the ability to discern identity, if one were to rashly enter it."
"Besides, I myself find it difficult to kill a Tier Ten."
Shen Fei temporarily dismissed the idea of going alone, the allure is indeed great, but it seems like a poisoned cake.
"Might as well tell Master, eventually, Iâll definitely share the benefits."
Shen Fei quickly made his decision.
If he were to eat this alone, he might choke himself to death.
But heâs not fighting alone, he has his master as his great support.
Given Luo Ranâs character, last time she sought justice from the Pope for him and even directly handed him the Divine Artifact.
Without saying something like âsince Shen Fei cannot use it now, Iâll just hold on to it for nowâ.
Clearly, Luo Ran genuinely treats him as a disciple.
If this thing proves beneficial, Luo Ran certainly wonât leave him out.
After digesting all this information.
Shen Fei took out the item dropped by the god of the Cold Abyss from his Professional Backpack.
The âSlumber of the Cold Abyss (Mythical)...â
A staff, crystal-clear, appearing crafted entirely from ice crystals, combining majesty and purity.
"A Mage Divine Artifact? But the Empress canât use it now."
Shen Fei furrowed his brow, the artifactâs skills were rather abundant, but the issue lies with the usage restrictions.
"Usage Restrictions: Mage Profession; Ice-type Profession; Third Transformation"
The Empress does not have the âCombat Saint Soulâ tag, so she cannot use it at all.
If kept for the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable as a backup, that would be too extravagant.
Moreover, the Mage typeâs attack doesnât quite match the combat style of the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.
"Consume it?"
Shen Fei pondered for a moment, his gaze turned to the Empress, "Can you consume this?"
Alternatively, Shen Fei could take it back to Wu Xia, to see if any Tier Ten experts would exchange it with him.
But Shen Fei is planning to enter the Zulu Battlefield now, after coming out, before even considering finding a suitable person for exchange.
Now he needs to enhance his strength, better to have one bird in hand than ten in the forest.
"I can..."
The Empress nodded, a wave appeared in her hand, and she consumed it.
The âImmortal Celestial Scriptureââconsumes the âSlumber of the Cold Abyssâ, Lix Mountain Empress becomes immune to any ice element abilities below âMythicalâ, ice element ability amplifies +10000%, freely manipulates environment within icy conditions.
Acquires skills âSlumber of the Cold Abyssâ, âTen Thousand Miles of Cold Riverâ, âAbsolute Zeroâ, âIce Crystal Incarnationâ, âIce Crystal Worldâ
"Still quite good, at least all skills were mastered."
Shen Fei glanced at the skills, indeed the âImmortal Celestial Scriptureâ type tags are truly valuable.
Not wasted at all.
âJesusâ Palmâ was intended for the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, who planned to consume it if it wasnât quite suitable.
However, equipment skills and transforming them into oneâs own skills, equipment skills are better.
Equipment skills are non-consuming, but personal skills demand expenditure.
And cooling remains similar.
The main difference is between the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and the Empress.
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerableâs consumption reduction isnât as potent, even with âBloodthirsty Frenzyâ.
But during one-on-one opposing, if âJesusâ Palmâ were to be consumed for its skills.
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerableâs consumption would be tremendous.
However, the Empress already possesses the ability to reduce skill consumption with âSlaughter Divine Authorityâ, merely required to slay more abyssal creatures to replenish the skills.
Both cannot be considered the same, besides, this equipment is also unusable by the Empress, which is a key reason.
Once the Empress finished digesting, Shen Fei took out the second item, the âSource of Freezing Lawâ, looking slightly surprised.
The âSource of Freezing Law (Mythical)â: Allows the user to directly master the âFreezingâ Law.
Usage Requirements: Half-mythical Ice Class Profession; Level 100
