Chapter 11: Abyss Wanderer (Passive Lv.1): Permanently increases Abyss Resistance by 1 point.
...
A large number of "General Passives" appeared before him. Among these "General Passives," some required only 1 Law-Destroying Skill Point to master, while others required 10 points. For example, "Physique Enhancement" and "Abyss Wanderer" required 5 and 10 Law-Destroying Skill Points respectively.
Once these "General Passives" were mastered, they could be upgraded in the nearby Skill Upgrade Pod by consuming Soul Coins. The specific cost depended on the strength of the ability being enhanced.
Su Xiao continued browsing the skill list on the Awakening Stele. There were hundreds of "General Passives" in total. With limited Law-Destroying Skill Points for now, he naturally prioritized mastering those with the best cost-performance ratio.
As Su Xiao was browsing the skills, a notification appeared.
[Notification: Your application for the purchase rights of "Soul Gem" submitted 36 hours ago has been successfully approved.]
[Soul Gem 20% Source Energy Owner: Apocalypse Paradise.]
[This transaction will be notarized by the Void Tree.]
...
Earlier, in the Witch Realm, Su Xiao had completed the Soul Challenge, replenishing the existing "Soul Gem" to 80%. More precisely, the "Soul Gem" he initially possessed was nearly an empty shell, containing only a small portion of the Soul Gem's Source Energy. As a result, one of the eight strongest gems, the "Soul Gem," was of Origin rank rather than Eternal rank.
Another point was that the current Soul Gem was worlds apart from the true "Soul Gem" after being fully replenished.
Previously, Su Xiao had learned through a notification that the remaining 20% Source Energy of the "Soul Gem" was in the Apocalypse Paradise. That was why, upon returning to the Reincarnation Paradise this time, he submitted this notarization application. If this method didn't work, he would try to obtain that 20% Soul Gem Source Energy through the Apocalypse Sisters.
As for going to the Apocalypse Paradise to steal it—this was a Paradise faction. Although the Apocalypse Paradise often got beaten down and left spitting foam when clashing with the Reincarnation Paradise, if Su Xiao dared to go to the Apocalypse Paradise alone, let alone whether he could even get in, if he did, he would be instantly annihilated.
[Notification (Void Tree): If the Hunter wishes to complete this transaction, a total of 5500 ounces of Space-Time Power must be paid.]
Seeing this notification, Su Xiao was quite surprised. He had prepared 24,960 ounces of Space-Time Power to buy back the remaining portion of the "Soul Gem," but it only required 5,500 ounces. Moreover, judging by the look of things, this was already a high price.
[You have paid 5,500 ounces of Space-Time Power.]
[You have obtained 20% Source Energy of the Soul Gem.]
[You have applied to the Reincarnation Paradise for Gem Repair Authority. Due to your Hunter Imprint being Lv.95, you can enjoy this authority free of charge this time.]
[Gem Repair in progress...]
[Repair complete.]
[You have obtained Soul Gem (Eternal Rank).]
[This is one of the eight strongest gems. You are about to bear the cost of possessing this gem: Gem Curse.]
[Due to your Law-Destruction Fortune, Dead Silence White King Fortune, and Eternal Light Supreme Will Fortune, the Gem Curse brought by the Soul Gem has no effect on you.]
[Warning: You cannot use 2 of the "Eight Strongest Gems" simultaneously. Otherwise, the Gem Curse will immediately intensify to a level that cannot be immunized by any means.]
...
Su Xiao checked the specific intensity of the Gem Curse. These eight gems were each more arrogant than the last. It was the gems that chose their owners. For these eight gems, users were merely passersby; they would endure forever.
As for whether the Soul Gem recognized Su Xiao, of course it did. He was one of the few in history to have gained 100% recognition from the Soul Gem and fully utilized its characteristics. Among these three people, one was the First Generation Law Destroyer, and another was Star-Swallower Akas.
As for Su Xiao's recognition with the "Will Gem," no, the relationship between the two could no longer be described as recognition; it should be disgust.
Selling the "Will Gem" this time for 1.75 million Soul Coins felt a bit overpriced. Given the arrogant style of the "Will Gem," with about 65% recognition, who knew how long that destined buyer could hold out. Next time he sold it to another destined buyer, he might consider selling it for 1.5 million Soul Coins, or even 1 million.
As for whether this was a scam, Beini had repeatedly mentioned the risks of the "Will Gem" and the harsh prerequisites for its use. Unfortunately, that destined buyer only thought of using this to drive down the price. When he secured the "Will Gem" for 1.75 million Soul Coins, his steps were quick as he left, afraid that Beini might change her mind.
Thinking of Beini, Su Xiao opened the team channel. As soon as he opened it, he saw Beini had posted a happy emoji inside. This meant that the deal for that Strength-type Nourishing Equipment was settled, and Beini had seized on the other party's need for World Force, insisting on a fixed price in World Force.
Using a large amount of World Force, which had no critical use at the current stage, to exchange for a Nourishing Equipment that could significantly enhance himself later on was indeed a great deal. Before long, the transaction was completed on the other end.
[You have obtained Power Lord (Eternal Rank, Full Rating Equipment).]
