190: The statue of the twisted snake! (2/3)

“This is the price for deceiving this old man. Let everyone take this as a warning.”

“Your Excellency, Sword Immortal, please rest assured, we would never dare to deceive you,” a free player said.

“Your Excellency, Sword Immortal! Could you give us some hints? Where can we find what you’re looking for?” another player asked.

“There is black shadow sand in the Fallen Plains. You can try your luck there. I will return here tomorrow at noon. Anyone who finds any of these materials for me—black shadow sand, platinum water, star fragment… or earth stone—will have a chance to obtain my legacy!”

Wind Riding Sword Immortal listed over a hundred materials in one breath.

“Your Excellency, Sword Immortal, I must obtain your legacy!”

“One day! I will definitely find one type of material!”

“Oh~ I’m going to get the Wind Riding Sword Immortal’s legacy.”

......

At the Steel City resurrection point, Hand of God resurrected, his face already ashen.

“Steel King! How dare he deceive me! I want him dead!”

“Someone! Go find Steel King immediately! I’m going to flay him alive!”

But he was destined not to find Steel King, because Steel King would only appear once.

......

Inside Dawn Camp.

Li Si took out the ancient divine stone and crushed it, this time choosing to enhance the Great Replication Technique.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations! Your Great Replication Technique has gained an additional ability—Double Replication.”

Double Replication?

Could it be... no way?

Li Si was utterly shocked and quickly checked his attributes.

“Great Replication Technique—Max”

Quality: Special

Active: Instantly cast a skill, you can target yourself to replicate three mirror images. During the duration of the images, 1000 mana points are consumed per second. This skill has no cooldown, but a maximum of three mirror images can be replicated. The Great Replication Technique can only replicate yourself and your own items; it cannot replicate others or their items.

Double Replication: Doubles the number of replicated bodies. After doubling, a maximum of six can be replicated.

Description: An ancient divine art left over from ancient times.

“Haha!”

It really was the literal effect!

The status of the Great Luck Technique consequently rose.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 =

128!!

The specific effect was that luck would be multiplied by 128 within 50 seconds.

“I currently have 222 luck points, multiplying that by 128 makes it 28,416 points.”

This—

Li Si’s eyes widened.

Over twenty thousand luck points would probably be higher than 99% of players’ health.

“Okay, time to catch ghosts!”

Leaving one replicated body to protect Dawn Camp, Li Si activated Stepping Sea Wind Walking, soaring into the air to search for specters in the vicinity.

As for the other five replicated bodies, they naturally went to issue quests.

By roaming through various War Zones and major cities to issue false quests, he could cast a wide net and catch more fish!

“Hmm?”

What was on that tree?

A twisted old tree had strange patterns carved into it.

Very familiar patterns.

“Abyssal Truth Society?”

The format of these patterns was similar to the flesh sacrifice in Moonfall Town’s underground.

Slowly landing in front of the old tree, Li Si activated his Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking and found clues.

“These patterns!”

“They’re actually related to the City Lord of Pingsha Subsidiary City.”

Was the City Lord of Pingsha City a member of the Abyssal Truth Society?

Li Si directly tore through space, arriving at Pingsha Subsidiary City.

“Zhang Pingping, come out and see me.”

A clear voice echoed over Pingsha City.

“Greetings, Lord of Luanxing City!”

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion of Pingsha, hundreds of NPCs knelt in unison.

“Where is the City Lord of Pingsha Subsidiary City?”

“The City Lord has gone to the back mountain to worship her ancestors,” the butler inside the mansion said.

Ancestor worship?

Li Si was surprised, fearing that ancestor worship was a pretense, and the Abyssal Truth Society’s lair was the truth.

The back mountain was not far; Li Si traveled at three thousand meters per second, arriving in a few seconds.

Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking peeled away the illusion.

Through the hundred-meter-high mountain, he saw the internal facilities.

The City Lord of Pingsha City was indeed a follower of the Abyssal Truth Society!

“Brother! I must resurrect you!” Inside the mountain, Zhang Pingping knelt solemnly.

And the object of her prostration was a statue.

Blue Face and fangs!

A twisted snake-like statue.

“You probably won’t get the chance!”

Li Si broke through the void and appeared before the snake statue.

“Lord of Luanxing City? How did you....”

The moment she saw Li Si, Zhang Pingping was suddenly terrified, but in an instant, she regained her composure.

“Li Kuangtu....”

“You shouldn’t have come here.”

Zhang Pingping harbored killing intent.

As a Level 99 Legendary Monarch, after paying a certain price, she could cross realms to reach Blue Star.

“Heh heh,”

Li Si didn’t want to say too much and directly attacked Zhang Pingping.

Phantom Sword Dance as the opening move.

Instantly, 1370 sword qi rushed out.

Accumulating over 38 billion true damage!

“You, why are you so powerful?”

Zhang Pingping’s health bar emptied, and she collapsed to the ground in disbelief.

“Ding!”

“Killed a Level 99 Legendary Monarch. Congratulations, you have gained 5 billion experience points. For killing a target 98 levels higher, you have gained an additional 40 billion experience points.”

Gray mist appeared out of nowhere, engulfing Zhang Pingping’s corpse.

The progression bar for the ‘Sacrifice for Life’ advancement increased by a tiny bit.

True God Rank (5.69%).

After so long, the progress bar was still less than 10%.

“The Supreme Rank is really hard to advance!”

Li Si felt helpless, but also more expectant. The difficulty of advancing to the Supreme Rank proved the power of its attributes!

Immediately, he bent down to pick up Zhang Pingping’s death drops.

Gold coins, Legendary equipment, items.

Just like when Bi Xuan died, Zhang Pingping also dropped a special item—

“Proof of Abyssal Truth Society Membership”

With this item, he could find Zhou Guang to claim a reward.

As Li Si prepared to leave the cave, his gaze fell upon the snake-shaped statue.

“Statue of Twisted Ghost Snake” (Mythical)

Type: Guild Building

Effect ①: All guild members’ mental resistance is greatly increased, able to resist mental intrusion and interference below Mythical rank (including Mythical rank).

Effect ②: Set worship conditions. Any player who meets the worship conditions can gain the attribute bonus of Effect ①. Each worship lasts 24 hours. Current worship conditions not set.

Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking ①: An ancient statue with powerful divine power.

Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking ②: A true spirit from the Fallen Land, a twisted ghost snake, is sealed inside the statue.

......

My goodness?

This was actually a guild building?

And it even had a true spirit?

Should I... move the true spirit inside the statue into the Life Battle Flag?

Li Si thought about it and decided against it.

The rarity of guild buildings far surpassed that of true spirits.

True spirits could be caught again, but if a building was gone, it was gone.

“Group Teleportation!”

“Fixed-point Teleportation!”

“Swish—”

The Statue of Twisted Snake appeared out of thin air in Everlasting City’s teleportation plaza.

“Ding!”

“Guild Notification: Affected by the guild building—Statue of Twisted Ghost Snake, you are immune to mental intrusion and mental interference below Mythical rank (including Mythical rank).”

The system notification popped up before all members of Everlasting.

This attribute, for Li Si, was naturally useless.

Because he had the Great Calming Divine Art, and its additional ability—Dao Heart Clarity—was far more powerful than the statue’s effect.

However, for the members of Everlasting, it was different; they desperately needed mental resistance.

“For worship, it’s 1000 gold coins per time.”

After all, this was a Mythical-rank guild building; 1000 gold coins per worship was definitely not extortionate.

“Send a City Lord announcement to inform all players.”

Immediately, the grand City Lord announcement rang out—

“Ding!”

“Player—Lawless Madman has issued a City Lord announcement: A new guild building has been added in Everlasting City. After worship, one can become immune to mental interference below Mythical rank (including Mythical rank).”

“Player—Lawless Madman has issued a City Lord announcement: A new guild building has been added in Everlasting City. After worship, one can become immune to mental interference below Mythical rank (including Mythical rank).”

......

City Lord announcements were being sent out like they were free.

In fact, they were free; the entire main city belonged to Li Si, so what was wrong with sending a couple more announcements?

“Holy crap! Immune to mental interference?”

“Awesome, City Lord! I heard there are nasty things in the Fallen Plains!”

“With mental resistance, I can also go explore the Fallen Plains!”

“Brothers, let’s go, let’s worship together.”

“......”

At this moment, players from Luanxing City took the teleportation arrays and surged madly into Everlasting City.
