The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

...

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter 422 Breaking the Curse (shuhaige.net)

"What happened?" Guanyin's voice reappeared.

[All power has vanished, and I am unable to perceive the Sea of ​​Consciousness.] Li Changzhou directly teleported his experience from this game to Guanyin.

Teleportation is really great.

While Guanyin was "watching a movie," Li Changzhou began to settle accounts.

[Main Quest: Physical Inheritance of the Dao - Obtain three additional 'Great Powers']

Status: Completed

[Rating: S-]

[Comment: The three 'Great Power' items are of good quality. If you had completed them alone, the rating would have increased by two levels.]

[Reward: 1. 'Great Power - Darkness' Pure Version...]

【······】

[The prize has been detected as having been picked up by a player; the reward has been changed.]

[Reward: 20 copper coins, 1 silver coin, and the right to purchase the following three additional prizes on top of the S-level purchase privileges]

[1. Superpowers are prohibited!]

(Release a spherical field with a maximum diameter of one kilometer; all superpowers are prohibited within the field.)

(Superpower: Abilities exceeding those of normal humans on Earth who have not undergone training)

(Maximum: Below Celestial Immortal)

(Price: 1 silver)

[2. Partial - Incomplete - Omniscient Library]

(That clock—now it looks more like a wind chime)

(Note: After selection, the system will put the spirit of the library into a permanent slumber and focus all its efforts on data calculation.)

(Price: 1 silver 50 copper)

【3. The Appearance of a Monster】

(The player obtains the 'Monster's Appearance')

(Monster Appearance: A combination of random knowledge, with unknown attack methods, strength, and appearance)

(Price: 1 silver)

The S-level purchase privileges allow you to buy all 'Great Powers', but they are all 'original versions', not 'pure versions'.

After a quick glance, the power of a sage is indeed alluring.

Known examples include the Extreme Cold Ice Sword, which can create a speed bump; "Work with You" allows you to directly imitate everything about the other party; and the "Contract" is the one you sign when entering the front-line camp.

The unknown can be explained by analogy. Simply put, if tapping a TV twice can make it work again, then tapping a person twice can make a person with only a head open their eyes. It is a very strange power.

And so on, there are many more.

But Li Changzhou will not choose it.

The system divides 'great power' into primal and pure, proving that these powers are problematic, or may be problematic.

He turned his attention to the three additional redeemable items.

He'd pass on the 'Monster Appearance' since he wasn't interested in body-altering skills, but he planned to acquire the other two.

100 copper coins equal 1 silver coin. Not counting the wallet shared by Li Qianxia, ​​Li Changzhou himself had a total of 2 silver coins and 63 copper coins. After buying these two items, he would have 13 copper coins left.

The word "library" appeared in his backpack, and the sound disappeared.

She glanced up at the others, who were all still engrossed in exchanging their items, with Si being particularly focused.

He rubbed the back of his neck, glanced at Yang Qinglan's profile, then lowered his head again, beginning to search for the 'great power' that could break the 'ancient god's curse'.

After he became fully focused, Yang Qinglan looked up at him.

She smiled slightly and continued searching.

The main reward this time is one 'Pure Version of Great Power' for everyone. As for these original versions, they're fine to give away, but it's too dangerous to use them yourself.

With only ten minutes left before the settlement time, and just before returning to the real world, everyone had to snap out of their daze from the incredibly long redemption list.

The power of a sage is immense and far-reaching, a fact already hinted at in the saying that "the ancestor of Taoism is God."

Throughout the long course of history, every sage has experienced countless cosmic civilizations and conducted countless experiments.

The group summarized and listed the possible options for resolving the 'Ancient God Curse'.

"So many?" Li Qianxia looked at the densely packed entries and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Even if we took out all our money, we couldn't exchange them all!"

"Everyone, take five minutes to streamline this. Keep five for each person. Let's be quick." Yaochi herself had already started working on it.

The group quickly selected the five most likely possibilities from the large pile.

Five minutes later.

"The items with the highest overlap are 'Hand of Annihilation,' 'Please Close Your Eyes,' and 'Extreme Cold Ice Sword,' so let's buy these three," Yaochi said.

"Are we really going to buy them?" Li Qianxia hesitated. "These three items are all original. It's very possible that... after the ancient god is gone, a saint will come."

“I will find a way to purify it using the Divine Will Crystal,” Si said.

Yang Qinglan looked at her and said, "If you make a decision, we will pay for the three 'Great Powers' and the 'Divine Will Crystal'."

"Thank you," Si nodded.

Hand of Annihilation: Consumes 5000 points of power to summon four additional arms. The hands of these four arms can suppress and eliminate superpowers.

It is worth 66 copper coins.

Li Changzhou has a superpower restriction, but he can only disable superpowers within a 1,000-meter radius around himself. He cannot keep this domain active forever, and Si cannot remain within a 1,000-meter radius of him forever either.

Not to mention Si, neither Yang Qinglan nor Li Qianxia could stay within a kilometer of him forever.

Yang Qinglan paid for the money to destroy the Dharma.

Please close your eyes: Consumes 5000 points of ability to summon a pair of arms out of thin air, covering the target's two visual systems, causing the target to be blinded and lose their sense of direction.

Valued at 66 copper coins – Great Power, all priced at 66 copper coins.

Li Qianxia paid the money.

Extreme Cold Ice Sword: Consumes 1000 points of ability to release a sword aura. After the sword aura explodes, it will leave a speed bump in the place where the maximum speed is 0.01 meters per second.
