I Am Supreme

Chapter 880: The True Function of The Celestial Amethyst

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The martial levels here were more difficult to attain than anything he had encountered before!

No matter how gifted one was or what divine tricks one had, it was pure unadulterated wishful thinking to want to kill someone of another level.

Take Yun Yang’s battle for example - he had been equipped with a marvelous weapon and the skill to execute a phantom-like ambush, but he had to play attrition with all that he had in order to exhaust his opponent; ultimately, Fatty had to steel himself to deal the ultimate blow before the both of them could wipe out a fourth-level Honor.

The ache and despair could hardly be understood unless one was involved in the exercise!

As it was, Yun Yang entertained the thought of what would have happened if the fourth level Honor had not disregarded both of them during the start of the battle. What if he had not handicapped Fatty at the very beginning? Perhaps the result would have been different… If that was the case, the Residence of Nine Supremes might as well be closed. The Supreme and the majordomo would already be on their way to meet the Yama King.

At least, the majordomo would have to see the Yama King for sure. Yun Yang was certain that he would be incapable of ensuring both his and Fatty’s safety by then.

The fact was that cultivators who had registered their sects and could establish them securely were not great in number at all. Those who could build their schools and ultimately rest in peace were even more scarce. As for the ones who could bring glory to their sects… not only were they not many, but they were also terribly few and far between.

After these people had died, the white banner image would automatically fly back to delete themselves. Of course, cultivators who managed to stay alive and grab a Celestial Luck Banner… that was a different matter altogether!

Now, both Yun Yang and Qian Duoduo were being pursued by two fourth-level Honors and were fleeing in pitiful panic.

“We’re being chased by dozens of people…” Fatty cried, “You’ve killed so many people. The only thing I’m sure now is that we’re in more trouble than we were before.”

Yun Yang scoffed indifferently.

Fatty counted with his fingers.

“Up to now, you’ve killed a total of forty-seven people, boss. Twenty-nine of them were rogue cultivators; we can basically ignore them. However, the remaining eighteen people - there were shadows of the Celestial Luck Banners rising after their deaths, proving their identities. The sixteen black flags are still fine, but there are two green Celestial Luck Banners!”

“Do you know what this means? We have at least - at the very least - offended ten schools or more that have the celestial flags. Great, we’ve actually offended all the schools that possess the Celestial Luck Banner within an area of tens of thousands of miles! It took us only one day!”

Fatty hissed, unable to secrete any tears, despite his desperate wish to cry.

He could not blame Yun Yang, however. If it had not been for him who had exposed the Celestial Amethyst from his inability to hold himself in, could they have brought such deadly trouble upon themselves? Could Yun Yang have killed so many people?

The root cause was due to Fatty after all.

Therefore, Fatty was already on the brink of death from the shock. If it were not for this acknowledgment that he was the culprit, he might have carried Yun Yang to safety instead of rising to the occasion and killing the attacker when he was met with the severely injured fourth-level Honor.

The seed of disaster was already sowed. Once the schools found out that it was the two of them… peace would be forever out of the question!

“So what about it?”

Yun Yang was unaffected by his circumstances.

“It’s only a matter of time before we take note of who we offend. The outcome’s the same. It doesn’t matter.”

He firmly believed this to be true. Those whom he should kill, he would have to kill them sooner or later. It was indeed only a matter of time.

“What’s urgent currently is not to hide from pursuit, it’s to first find permanent shelter,” said Yun Yang, “Only then can we begin to recruit people.”

He suddenly recalled something.

“You said that that’s the Celestial Amethyst?”

“The Celestial Amethyst! Of course, it’s the Celestial Amethyst!”

Fatty perked up once the crystal was mentioned.

“An absolute gem!”

“This item… Isn’t it called the Eastern Amethyst?” asked Yun Yang.

“Funny. We’re both human, you’re called Yun Yang and I’m called Qian Duoduo. However, in the eyes of the Yao race or the animals, aren’t we both human?”

Fatty rolled his eyes.

“Is it very strange that one item has a few different names?”

Yun Yang was speechless. He was actually being educated by this fatty and what was worse was that he thought the other party made sense while he had nowhere to start retorting. How could this be?

“The Celestial Amethyst is a cultivation gem of fantasy to cultivators,” explained Fatty while he gently stroked the spatial ring on his finger. His expression was one of bedazzlement like he was stroking the radiant violet crystal.

“Gem of fantasy? What’s so fantastic about it?” Yun Yang scoffed, “Isn’t it just an energy crystal that stores more energy? It’s still useless after the spiritual Qi inside has been fully absorbed. Its fate to become powder and dust is inevitable.”

“Fully… absorbed? Becoming powder?”

Fatty stared at Yun Yang in astonishment.

“Big - big brother… You - you would use the Celestial Amethyst in this manner?”

“Is there anything wrong with that?”

“Big brother, don’t ever speak of this again after today. If the ace cultivators find out about this, they’d definitely beat you to death and drown you in their spit. You’ll be everyone’s enemy and die under a never-ending avalanche of attacks!”

Fatty looked anguished as he moaned, “You’re wasting God’s gift! You look very smart, but how can you be such unwise idiot? How am I following someone like this?”

“The Celestial Amethyst is rare to come by, not only because it stores a large quantity of energy within it, but mainly because as long as it’s worn on a person, it’ll automatically attract heaven and earth’s spiritual Qi to help that person cultivate. If one merely takes the spiritual Qi stored in a piece of Celestial Amethyst, the energy can, at most provide, a beginner Honor cultivator a few days to expend it. Wearing it on oneself, however, can assist the said wearer to absorb endless spiritual Qi. In other words, the spiritual Qi that surrounds you could always be much more than that of others, despite similar cultivation conditions! At the very least, two times or more!”

Fatty’s cheeks were trembling from his own lavish description.

“Although using the Celestial Amethyst like this will still cause a drain on the crystal, the energy in a piece of Celestial Amethyst will only be fully exhausted after a century, as long as it’s not overused!”

“Such a rare precious gem, yet you - you would suck it dry straightaway - how could you? Furthermore, listening to what you just said and the dozens of crystals you have given me, this means that you’ve used the amethyst like this more than once, more than a piece - were there many pieces?”

Fatty’s gaze threatened to devour the man as if his resentment could only be assuaged by biting Yun Yang.

“Uh… I see,” Yun Yang replied as he rubbed his nose, a little abashed.

He did not know that such an item carried such a significant effect. He had indeed underestimated the tiny crystal.

Ah, it was such a handicap to lack knowledge. This adage had proven true several time since a certain Supreme had come to this realm.

“Well, we still have ten pieces of the Celestial Amethyst. A good ten pieces can easily recruit ten ace cultivators!”

Qian Duoduo was truly confident that it could be done.
