Chapter 212: Return to Death Land and Distribution of Treasures



Tony shot John a glare and snapped, "This mess is all your fault, you know. Besides, the Undying Flame is terrifyingly powerful. If that crystal orb were to shatter, everyone would die. Do you think everyone's as reckless as you? This old man still wants to live a few more years."

John scoffed, then asked curiously, "Is the Undying Flame really that powerful? Let me give it a try."

Tony glared at him again and flatly refused, "No way. Its power is too immense. I'm afraid you'll get yourself killed if you use it recklessly."

"You're such a miser." John lost interest. The Undying Flame, despite its immense power, was

a one-time-use item.

Moreover, its primary purpose was to perish together with the enemy-it was more of an intimidation tool than anything else.

...

The group flew at high speed and returned to the Saint Martial Sect by midday.

Tony and Elsa immediately entered Death Land, while John, having other matters to attend to, went in search of the busy Chris.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, kid," Chris said in a mildly reproachful tone when he saw John. "So, what brings you here this time?"

He knew that every time John showed up, it was for something important.

"I've acquired some treasures," John replied with a faint smile, taking out eleven sets of Immortals' artifacts.

The Immortals' artifacts were most suitable for the descendants of the Ancient Martial Arts families to refine, and he only trusted members of the Azure Family.

"These are... treasures?" Chris asked in surprise, picking up one set of artifacts and examining it curiously.

With the opening of the Divine Path, news about the various races' treasures had spread widely, but it was his first time seeing one in person.

John nodded and continued, "There are a total of eleven sets of Immortals' artifacts. Senior, you can select eleven strong members of the Azure Family to refine them."

He then produced a large number of Spirit Stones, all of which were obtained from the Treasure Realm.

"Spirit Stones!" Chris exclaimed in astonishment.

"Senior, you know what these are?" John asked, equally surprised.

Chris nodded and explained, "I saw them a long time ago-back at the Azure Family. It's said that these are treasures originating from the cultivation sects and can be used to enhance strength."

"Really?" John was skeptical. Spirit Stones appearing in the real world?

He suspected that Spirit Stones were not native to the world of Gods.

Spirit Stones could help refine the Immortals' artifacts, yet before the Divine Path opened, there were no Immortals in the world of Gods.

The disciples of the various sects on Earth arrived over a thousand years ago, and these Spirit Stones were very likely brought by them.

Chris didn't press further. Instead, he said, "I'll have Armstrong handle the distribution."

He immediately had someone summon Armstrong.

"Brother-in-law!" Armstrong greeted John with a face full of excitement upon seeing him. Although his martial talent was not exceptional, his management skills were outstanding. It seemed that both Chris's son and grandson excelled in management.

However, now that they had entered the world of Gods and refined the Attribute Fusion Stones, fusing attributes from reality, their strength had greatly increased, compensating for their previous lack of martial talent.

After listening to Chris's instructions, Armstrong quickly had suitable candidates in mind.

"Brother-in-law, should we reserve a set for Ritchie? And what about Tracy?" He hadn't seen Tracy for a long time and felt a bit concerned.

"No need. Tracy has already refined a gods' treasure. As for Ritchie, he's better suited for the human treasures from the Skyline Continent," John replied, thinking of Ritchie.

Ritchie had a hidden class-Earth Knight-so boosting his earth elemental affinity would be the most beneficial.

Earth was one of the four basic elements, and mastering the law of earth would allow him to refine the treasures of the Skyline Continent's human race.

"Alright, I'll get it sorted." Armstrong nodded and allocated one set of the Immortals' artifacts to Chris, Peter, and himself.

The remaining eight sets were given to the strongest and most loyal disciples of the Blues Family and those absolutely loyal to John.

After wrapping up these arrangements, John headed to Death Land.

"Tracy, let everyone know to gather," he called out to Tracy, who was lounging around

nearby, looking bored.

"Okay." She immediately messaged Sini and the others, then ran over to John's side and asked expectantly, "Old man, can you help me level up now?"

She had been stuck in Death Land for a while. Although she was no longer trapped in that vine-woven cage, she still felt cooped up.

John nodded, took out 100 Light Spirit Stones, and handed them to her. "Refine these Light Spirit Stones first. Comprehend the laws of light and fully integrate with your gods' treasure. Then I'll help you level up."

"Got it!" Tracy was overjoyed. She carefully stored the 100 Light Spirit Stones away without asking any questions, then bid him farewell and returned to her room to begin refining the Light Spirit Stones in seclusion.

Not long after, Sini and the others returned to Death Land as well.

"Benefactor, you're back!" Anna looked at him, her face full of anticipation.

The other women also watched him eagerly.

John knew exactly what they were hoping for and took out all the treasures he had acquired during his time exploring the Treasure Realm.

There were 33 sets of gods' artifacts, 11 sets of demon race artifacts, 4 sets of Beast Clan artifacts, and 4 sets of Skyline Continent human artifacts, along with numerous items to aid

in artifact fusion.

The group's eyes sparkled as John spoke, "Go ahead and choose whichever you like."

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone was thrilled and gathered around the artifacts, carefully selecting their preferred items.

Of course, the women closest to him got to choose first.

They were overwhelmed by the options and couldn't decide which race's treasure suited them

best.

For the others, obtaining just one set of artifacts would have been a tremendous opportunity, but the women by John's side had the luxury of choosing freely.

"I think I'll go with the Skyline Continent's human treasures," Ada said after much consideration, putting down the gods' treasure in her hand and finally choosing the Skyline Continent's human artifacts.

It was the treasure that resonated most with her.

Yuel, being an earth elf, also chose the Skyline Continent's human artifacts.

"Undead Lord, why did you choose the gods' treasure?" John asked in surprise when he

noticed the Undead Lord opting for a gods' artifact.

After all, he was part of the Undead race and currently in the form of a skeleton. Light magic

was his natural bane.

"Kid, I've discovered something. If I can master the Law of Light, then I won't be afraid of light magic anymore—basically making me an invincible existence without any weaknesses!" The soul flames in his eye sockets flickered with excitement as he proudly explained.

"A skeleton that masters the Law of Light?" John was at a loss for words but decided to let the Undead Lord do as he pleased.

There were plenty of gods' artifacts anyway, so he didn't mind the Undead Lord's choice.

Soon, everyone finished selecting their treasures.

With the limited number of Beast Clan artifacts, the Ice Phoenix, Fire Phoenix, and several other Beast Clan powerhouses had no choice but to settle for the gods' artifacts. Afterward, everyone received attribute Spirit Stones, bloodline awakening stones, and other items that would aid in the fusion of the artifacts and began refining and merging with their

treasures.

John also took some basic attribute Spirit Stones for himself.

He took 100 each of wind, fire, water, and earth Spirit Stones, which would allow him to comprehend 1% of the elemental Law of each attribute.

Once everyone received their items, they all went into seclusion to cultivate.

John also chose to enter seclusion, refining the basic elemental Spirit Stones and skill stones

to enhance his techniques.

Only Sini, Elsa, and Tony remained to guard Death Land.

John had completely offended all the major races, and Tony was worried that they might seek revenge. He had been on high alert these past few days.

[You have refined Fire Spirit Stone. Fire Elemental Affinity +1]

[Your Fire Elemental Affinity has reached 100 points, comprehending 1% of the Fire

Elemental Law.]

...

Notification messages flashed as John refined 100 Fire Spirit Stones, successfully

comprehending 1% of the Fire Elemental Law.

"I wonder how Malina's doing?" He couldn't help but think of Malina. She had a rare class-Flame Mage-and had gained an additional 10 points in Fire Elemental Affinity. If she could comprehend the Law of Fire, her strength would increase tremendously.

Moreover, mastering the Fire Elemental Law would also help her fuse with the Skyline Continent's human treasures.

John had enough Fire Spirit Stones in his possession and decided to help Malina out.

However, he wasn't planning to give them to her for free-he at least needed some kind of

exchange.

He recalled that Malina had promised him a 20G dancing video, which she still hadn't

delivered.

He shrugged off the thought for now and continued refining the other elemental Spirit Stones. [You have refined Earth Spirit Stone. Earth Elemental Affinity +1]

[Your Earth Elemental Affinity has reached 100 points, comprehending 1% of the Earth

Elemental Law.]

...

[You have refined Water Spirit Stone. Water Elemental Affinity +1]

[Your Water Elemental Affinity has reached 100 points, comprehending 1% of the Water

Elemental Law.]

...

[You have refined Wind Spirit Stone. Wind Elemental Affinity +1]

[Your Wind Elemental Affinity has reached 100 points, comprehending 1% of the Wind

Elemental Law.]

Notifications continued to flash as John successfully comprehended the Laws of the four basic

elements.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He didn't push for further improvement. His strongest attack methods currently were from his Sword Immortal class and mastery over the Laws of Light and Darkness.

The reason for comprehending the Laws of the four basic elements was to gain 100% magical

resistance corresponding to each element.

"Time to keep leveling up my skills." John took out a massive pile of skill stones, stacking

them together like a small mountain.

This was his haul from the Treasure Realm-over a million in total.

He began refining them immediately, accumulating a total of 1.77 million skill points.

After some thought, he decided to focus on upgrading Soul Technique. Among the four techniques he had mastered-Divine Path, Overwhelming Battle Energy, Soul Technique, and Immortal Sword Art-all had been raised to over level 1000.

For each subsequent level, 1000 skill points were required. Apart from Soul Technique, the

other three techniques provided little additional benefit unless a new skill was comprehended.

He didn't want to take any risks, so upgrading Soul Technique remained the safest option.

[You have consumed 1000 skill points. Soul Technique has been upgraded to level 5589. Soul

Technique +1]

...

[You have consumed 1000 skill points. Soul Technique has been upgraded to level 7365. Soul Technique +1]

After using up all his skill points, Soul Technique had increased by over a thousand levels.

His Soul Technique was now at level 17,000, far surpassing the capabilities of demigod powerhouses and even comparable to some lower-tier gods.

The only downside was that he still hadn't comprehended any new skills.

"I wonder if I'll unlock a new skill after reaching level 20,000?" He couldn't help but

anticipate it. However, he was still more than 2,000 levels away from level 20,000, requiring at least 2.6 million more skill points-something impossible to achieve in the short term. "Time to level up." He stepped out of his room, determined to raise his level and break

through to the ninth tier.

"Old man, you're finally out!" Tracy called out. She had already refined the Light Spirit Stones and fully merged with her gods' treasure, significantly boosting her strength.

"Take me to level up!" she said, looking at John expectantly.
