758 -758: The Items Dropped by Killing Maitreya
Jiang Liu, quietly sitting on the back of the White Dragon Horse, opened his package space to take a look.
Hmm, not a few treasures there.
Most importantly, after slaying Maitreya Buddha, it wasn’t just about obtaining his twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls and the Human Seed Bag.
Killing Maitreya Buddha meant the system also rewarded me with some good stuff.
Apart from Maitreya Buddha’s personal treasures, my package space now contained a pair of golden scissors and a colorful, variegated talisman.
First off, Jiang Liu’s gaze fell upon the golden scissors, sharp beyond compare, as if they could cut through anything.
Even more important was the appearance of the scissors, looking like a golden Flood Dragon on each side.
As Jiang Liu’s gaze lingered, naturally, the corresponding attribute information appeared before his eyes.
Golden Flood Dragon Scissors (Epic Level): Requires level 82, Attack Power +55,000,000, Ignores 50% Defense, Durability 600/600.
“Treasure!”
Looking at this attribute information, Jiang Liu was overjoyed.
Although the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors’ added Attack Power was only 55,000,000, nowhere close to the Absolute Immortal Sword’s whopping 550,000,000 Attack Power, the special effect of the scissors was even better than the sword’s.
The Absolute Immortal Sword could ignore 30% of Defense, but the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors could actually ignore 50%?
Of course, the Absolute Immortal Sword was a Divine Level Equipment for those above level 90, while the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were merely Epic Level Equipment for level 82, so the huge gap in Attack Power wasn’t surprising.
But regardless, this didn’t diminish the might of the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.
In certain respects, this piece of equipment could almost be considered Sun Wukong’s nightmare, the nemesis of his Vajra Indestructible Body, couldn’t it?
“Wukong!”
Looking at the level 82 usage requirement, Jiang Liu thought for a moment and then turned his gaze onto Sun Wukong as he spoke.
“Master, what’s the matter?” Sun Wukong was leading the Journey to the West for Scriptures team when he heard Jiang Liu’s call.
He flipped back and asked Jiang Liu.
“I have a treasure here that requires a Cultivation Level above Daluo Golden Immortal to wield, and it’s incredibly powerful!” Jiang Liu began, looking at Sun Wukong.
“Oh?” Hearing this, Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up.
Requires a level above Daluo Golden Immortal to use?
Does that mean it’s meant just for me?
“Treasure?
What kind of treasure?
Is it great for fighting?” Sun Wukong asked with gleaming eyes.
Compared to functionality and control treasures like the Double Fish Jade Pendant and the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls, Sun Wukong, being rather straightforward, favored combat-oriented treasures more.
“Hehehe, Master…”
Following Sun Wukong’s remark, Zhu Bajie rubbed his hands together, stepped forward a bit sheepishly, and said to Jiang Liu, “Master, my Cultivation Level is also close to breaking through to Daluo Golden Immortal.
If elder brother doesn’t fancy it, you could give it to me first.
Once I reach Daluo Golden Immortal, I can use it too!”
“Bajie, with your Cultivation Level, you’ll probably need to wait quite some time to meet the requirements!” Jiang Liu glanced at Zhu Bajie and said.
As he spoke, he turned his attention back to Sun Wukong.
“It’s a treasure that’s great for fighting!”
“Oh?
How great is it?
Is it better than my Jingu Bang?” Jiang Liu’s reply got Sun Wukong excited, prompting him to ask.
“Hmm, much better than your Jingu Bang!” Jiang Liu still nodded as he responded.
“What is it?
Master, show me!” Hearing it was much better than his Golden Hoop, Sun Wukong was ecstatic and impatiently demanded.
Jiang Liu didn’t beat around the bush and directly took out the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors from his package space.
“Ah!?”
Looking at the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in Jiang Liu’s hands, Sun Wukong’s face, which was full of anticipation, immediately fell, and he looked quite disappointed.
“It’s just a pair of scissors?
How great could that be?”
“I, Old Sun, think weapons like swords, spears, halberds, and lances are the handiest.
Scissors?
Aren’t those for women?” Sun Wukong shook his head as he spoke.
“Master!”
While Sun Wukong didn’t seem to like it, wearing an expression of disdain, Zhu Bajie’s eyes shone brightly as he lunged forward, almost hugging Jiang Liu’s leg: “Master, since elder brother doesn’t like it, give it to Old Pig.
Old Pig doesn’t mind, Old Pig really likes it!”
“Oh?
Bajie, it seems you recognize it!” Seeing Zhu Bajie’s reaction, Jiang Liu, sitting on the back of the White Dragon Horse, turned his head to glance at Zhu Bajie.
“Recognize it?
Of course, I recognize it.
The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were once the treasure of Lady Sanxiao.
Old Pig naturally recognizes it!” Zhu Bajie nodded emphatically as he spoke.
“Indeed, among the Journey to the West for Scriptures team, Zhu Bajie is the genuine Mysterious Sect disciple, and his knowledge surely isn’t matched by the others!” Realizing Zhu Bajie could identify the origin of the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors with a single comment, Jiang Liu mused secretly, acknowledging that in terms of knowledge, ten Sun Wukongs couldn’t compare to one Zhu Bajie.
The Monkey really doesn’t know the goods.
Although in terms of grade and Attack Power, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were far behind the Absolute Immortal Sword.
But the 50% Ignore Defense special effect was what truly terrifying for those at the Daluo or even Quasi-Saint Levels.
Perhaps that’s also why, despite the difference in class and power, the Absolute Immortal Sword was priced at 2,000,000 taels in the shop, while the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors also fetched a price of 2,000,000 taels.
The selling price suggests that the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors have indeed reached the standard of Divine Level Equipment.
“Oh?”
Sun Wukong, who was beside them, had originally scorned the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, but upon hearing the dialogue between Jiang Liu and Zhu Bajie, he also realized that these scissors might really be extraordinary.
“Bajie, are these scissors very powerful?” Sun Wukong curiously looked at Zhu Bajie and asked.
“Of course!” Hearing Sun Wukong’s question, Zhu Bajie nodded.
Seemingly eager to show off his own remarkable knowledge, Zhu Bajie spoke up: “During the great war of Deification, these Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were the treasure of Lady Sanxiao.
Even Taoist Randeng didn’t dare to clash with their edge head-on.
Before the scissors could even be unsealed, he turned and fled for his life, not even caring for his mount, the Plum Blossom Deer, which was then cleanly bisected at the waist!”
“Taoist Randeng?” Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie with some surprise, feeling that this name seemed too familiar.
“Monkey Brother, I forgot to tell you, Taoist Randeng is now Randeng Buddha.
In terms of cultivation level, he should be one notch higher than Tathagata, and his status is even more exalted!” Zhu Bajie continued to explain upon seeing Sun Wukong’s puzzled look.
Hisss!
Hearing Zhu Bajie’s words, Sun Wukong involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
Looking at the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors again, his eyes shone with light.
He might not have understood everything, but one thing Sun Wukong did understand was that even Randeng Buddha, who was stronger than Tathagata, wasn’t a match for these Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, right!?
“What a treasure, hahaha, this really is a marvelous treasure!” Overjoyed in his heart, Sun Wukong laughed out loud as he spoke.
As he talked, he directly took the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors from Jiang Liu’s hands, playing with them and looking completely enamored.
Although Sun Wukong still wasn’t very fond of scissors as a weapon, the mere fact that they could defeat Tathagata was enough for him to let go of his dislike.
Zhu Bajie: “…”
Initially, he had just wanted to demonstrate his own knowledge, but after he had spoken, his eldest disciple brother, who had originally sneered at the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, was now holding them as if he couldn’t bear to let go?
The corners of Zhu Bajie’s mouth twitched slightly.
Then, he wished he could slap himself fiercely.
Was he a pig-brained?
Had he actually persuaded his eldest disciple brother to like the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors?
If his elder brother hadn’t liked it, Zhu Bajie might have had a glimmer of hope to obtain the scissors, but now that his brother had taken them, where was his hope?
“Pig-brained, I really am pig-brained!” With a look of utmost regret, Zhu Bajie muttered to himself in a low voice.
“I, Old Sun, will give it a try!” Although he wasn’t too fond of scissors as a weapon, since Bajie had praised them so highly, Sun Wukong was also interested.
After fiddling with them for a moment, he spoke up.
As he spoke, he glanced over and saw a towering mountain reaching into the clouds in the distance.
Without further ado, Sun Wukong threw the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors straight out.
In mid-air, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors instantly transformed into two golden Flood Dragons.
Then, with the Flood Dragons flying past and crossing over each other with a snip, a towering mountain was cleanly bisected at the waist in an instant.
For the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, cutting through a mountain was as effortless as slicing through a matchstick.
The light receded, and the two Flood Dragons transformed back into the form of scissors, returning to Sun Wukong’s hand.
“What a treasure, it truly is a wonderful treasure!” A mountain had been so easily shortened?
Sun Wukong looked at the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in his hand and then at the cleanly broken mountain in the distance, feeling extremely delighted.
Indeed, these scissors were very powerful, perhaps even more so than his own Jingu Bang.
“Amazing, truly amazing…” As for Zhu Bajie by his side?
He was almost drooling with desire.
He had long heard of the might of the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, but he hadn’t expected them to demonstrate such power in his eldest disciple brother’s hands!
Amidst his shock, Zhu Bajie regretted even more deeply.
What had he been thinking?
Why had he blurted out earlier?
“Hmm, not bad, not bad at all!” Regardless, seeing the power exhibited by the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in Sun Wukong’s hands, Jiang Liu nodded with satisfaction, while his gaze fell on another treasure.
Upon slaying Maitreya Buddha, not only did the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors appear as loot but also a colorful and dazzling talisman.
As Jiang Liu watched, the attribute information for this talisman also appeared before him.
Jiang Liu’s face lit up with joy.
It turned out that this talisman was a Divine Level Unsealing Talisman!
It could break all Divine Level Seals.
Just this Unsealing Talisman alone was worth 1.5 million taels!
