Chapter 766: It’s Gonna Blow

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as Elder Ancestor Bai finished speaking, he sat there patiently. He had already used several methods and would not use any talismans again.

In fact, he did not have any talismans on him. After he got suppressed by Vigilante A in the Morality City and got stripped of his personal belongings and his Godly Weapons of Fate, the rest of his talismans had all disappeared for some unknown reason.

When Bodhisattva heard about this, he flicked his wrist and a black jade ring appeared. He spoke wanly, “This was acquired from a devil back in the Upper Realm and it has survived many catastrophes without a single scratch. Coincidently, it’s tit for tat.”

Elder Ancestor Bai sensed it and nodded. “No doubt it’s the legendary devil-slaying Bodhisattva. This ring must be some bizarre interspatial artifact, but you’re willing to give up such a precious item and use it to fill up the Space Passage instead?”

“Yes, I’m willing to do so. Some sacrifices must be made in order to gain something. You can’t always get all the good things in life. It’s only through focus that you can achieve enlightenment.” Bodhisattva shook his head as he explained.

Elder Ancestor Bai did not say a word.

Fang Ning was amazed. Bodhisattva was inimitable. Each sentence that he uttered was like an invisible force that constantly accompanied him. He had to put in more effort…

After that, Vigilante A announced. “I do have quite a number of low-quality interspatial artifacts with me, so disposing of them won’t be a waste. You don’t have to waste yours, Bodhisattva…”

Fang Ning was totally speechless. Sir System was an opportunist. His motive was just too obvious.

Indeed, the Bodhisattva Spirit King smiled subtly and flicked his wrist. “In that case, Brother Dragon, you do the honors…”

And then, the so-called devil-slaying ring vanished into thin air. Everyone knew where it went.

“I told you a long, long time ago, that following this Bodhisattva fellow around would eventually give us an advantage.” Sir System remarked proudly.

“Hmph, true, you did get something good out of it, but at the cost of our hero’s face.” Fang Ning retorted sheepishly.

“Look at you, you’re being silly again.” Sir System seized this opportunity to further tell Fang Ning off. “This Bodhisattva fellow said so just now, that some sacrifices must be made in order to gain something. If you’re not willing to lose face, how can you reap the rewards? Even if you were to hide at home all day, avoid socializing with people and only rely on the internet to earn money, but you’re reluctant to lose face, how are you even able to score big moolah?”

“Uh…” Fang Ning was all out of words.

Sir System was right, though. Even if he wanted to work behind the computer screen and earn tons of cash, he still had to be humble and shed the layer of ego from his heart.

Just as he expected, the System Notification appeared.

[The system has used up several materials, it is using the legendary “Crafting Ability” to craft low-quality interspatial rings with a storage capacity of one hundred cubic meters.]

The same notification ringtone sounded nine times before ceasing since they were all “low-quality””junk”.

“You’ve got some abilities. You said you wanted to craft some crap, and you actually managed to craft them.” Fang Ning was in awe.

“Of course, I cultivate ten threads every day. Back when I was still at the Master level, I managed to grind through to the Legendary level without wasting any experience points… The saints aren’t as powerful as me when it comes to level of control.” Sir System explained cheerfully.

As he spoke, Vigilante A released nine rings from his palm into the air…

“Hiss…” Elder Ancestor Bai sensed his surroundings momentarily and could not contain his astonishment. Each of those rings were of high quality. This showed that Vigilante A did not take Bodhisattva’s treasure for granted. The replacement items that he produced were also compliant with the rules.

Interspatial artifacts were not ultra-rare items in the Upper Realm, but interspatial artifacts with massive storage capacities were rarities. They did not simply contain just a few hundred cubic meters as imagined by the Earthlings.

Most cultivators could afford to equip talismans with a capacity of one or two cubic meters, which were used to store important items.

The nine talismans in front of them had incredibly large storage capacities and thus, they were considered to be extremely precious.

All in all, as they said, those who were able to craft these sorts of treasures were holy immortals and buddhas. They were always busy preaching about Zen and the ways of the world, so how could they be involved in hard labor all day long?

They would never waste valuable time to craft those spacious interspatial talismans from dusk till dawn in order to fulfill the desperate needs of the cultivator masses.

The high cost of physical labor required for this process had inevitably led to the ultra-rare status of these interspatial talismans.

It was just that somehow, this rule did not apply to Vigilante A. He seemed to have an abundance of talismans.

Elder Ancestor Bai did not have the time either to look into this matter. After all, he still had plenty of unfinished business.

He simply nodded. “That’s great, they’re all suitable items. I’ll use them to blow up that Space Passage.”

“Good idea. We’ll let the demon ancestor perform the ritual…” Bodhisattva agreed.

Vigilante A nodded his head in agreement, too.

Elder Ancestor Bai then accepted the nine rings and stacked them on his palm. He was about to recite an incantation, when suddenly…

A bright light appeared in the sky to the east.

“Stop right there, fellow cultivator.” A soothing female voice echoed through the sky.

“Don’t stop, it’s gonna blow!” Vigilante A commanded.

He had a tone of authority and unwavering persistence in his voice, which was truly an order from the gods.

A shiver went down Elder Ancestor Bai’s spine. He immediately threw the nine rings into the void, chanted a few spells and heard a low vibrating noise coming out of the void.

“O fellow cultivator, it’s so unfortunate that you went ahead with this action. You’ve made a grave mistake…” The voice was light and airy, carrying with it a hint of sadness and disappointment.

Elder Ancestor Bai looked on calmly. His gaunt face did not show any sign of remorse.

He was already used to the duplicity of these deities back in the Upper Realm. This was merely another incident.

Moreover, this mistake was made by Vigilante A. He was only following orders and had no say in it. He could defend himself this way.

The three of them stayed silent. After a while, a woman in white showed up in front of them.

The woman had a celestial and refined aura, with a complexion as fair as snow. If she were placed among humans, she would definitely become the latest celebrity sensation…

The thing was the three of them did not care and were unmoved about this.

“My fellow cultivators, I’m not sure why you would want to mess with these Space Nodes. As you all know, these are the main channels of communication between the Upper Realm and Earth.” The goddess spoke with a questioning tone.

Elder Ancestor Bai avoided her gaze and kept quiet, as if he was not the one who made those actions.

“Hmph, I’m dealing justice and punishment on behalf of Heaven, and I’ve to sever all these passages that absorb blood from Earth.” Vigilante A said unenthusiastically.

“Fellow cultivator, you are wrong. Try to be more open-minded about other people’s opinions, for those who are reluctant to do so will never go far in life. By severing these passages, aren’t you isolating Earth from other realms? In the long run, it will end up as a wasteland devoid of life. Such a shame…” The goddess lamented and shook her head.

“Hmph, what a load of rubbish! It’s my destiny to perform these actions and I don’t need your obtrusion. Now leave! If you obstruct me again, be careful that I’ll rip your soul apart!” Vigilante A’s body tensed and a murderous look gleamed on his face.

At that instance, the other three saw the stream of images that appeared on his back. All of the images were scenes of devils beheaded and demons slain… The final image showed five Buddhist arhats from the Upper Realm who succumbed to the sword of Vigilante A.

“Hiss…” Elder Ancestor Bai was struck with terror. He never expected Vigilante A’s prowess to improve by leaps and bounds after only a few months of not meeting him.

The five arhats in the Upper Realm, who were revered for their skills in warfare, were not even matches for Vigilante A!

Although there were many limitations, this proved one thing; In a head-on battle that took place in an area enclosed by the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom, defeating Vigilante A was more difficult than reaching for the sky.

“Sigh, our fellow cultivator’s pugnacity knows no bounds, but he doesn’t understand that one can only do so much. If you don’t strike while the iron is hot, the results will be naught. I do hope that you’ll think carefully before doing anything drastic.” As the goddess looked at those images, her eyesight shifted subtly, but she still shook her head.

Vigilante A shook his head and spoke blandly, “I know very well about your true motives, so don’t bother coming to me with empty threats. I’m someone who rolls with the punches and I’ll resist every attack that comes my way.”

Elder Ancestor Bai was rather impressed when he heard this. Regardless, this guy had a spine, even in the face of the Upper Realm’s boundless power, he still had the guts to fight back.

No, not true, what this guy cultivated was the Path of Heavenly Punishment, and he grew ever so stronger with each battle; The thing was he could be overconfident. Truth was, the pitcher went so often to the well that it was broken at last. No matter how well one mastered the Path of Heavenly Punishment, he would eventually meet his match. What if his opponent was more powerful than him…

Right, no wonder he was so anxious about closing off passages to the Upper Realm. It was to prevent this “what if” from happening…

Vigilante A’s every step had a clear and concise motive. Most people around him only recognized his chivalry, but little did they know about his grip over the entire situation, which was very smart of him.

Hmph, whoever saw Vigilante A as a mere warrior would only repeat his own mistake.

Elder Ancestor Bai inhaled a deep breath and readjusted his view towards his old opponent.

The goddess stared at Vigilante A intently, as if she wanted to remember him forever. After that, with a wave of her sleeve, she flew away.

Vigilante A shook his head and then said to Elder Ancestor Bai. “Alright, the pest is gone. Let’s head to the next area.”

Elder Ancestor Bai nodded and began to perform his ritual again…
