An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 267 Transaction Completed
"The so-called 'Godhood Sequence' is actually a predetermined path. As long as you cultivate step by step, you can master the corresponding laws."

"In fact, some predecessors have speculated that the process of becoming a god is the process of completely mastering a certain law."

"With a predetermined sequence, it is naturally a thousand times easier than learning it on your own. After using the [Ascension Sequence], not only will the experience points required for leveling up be greatly reduced, but you will also automatically gain the skills and traits of the corresponding sequence as your level increases."

"These skills and traits belong to the power of the gods, each one incredibly powerful, some even possessing the level of [ultimate techniques] or [divine arts]!"

Zhao Jie's words made Chu Xiu fully understand just how precious the [Ascension to Godhood Sequence] was.

It can significantly reduce the difficulty of training at the [Heroic Spirit] stage!

At this moment, Chu Xiu realized that if the final reward of the fierce-level trial was so precious, then the final reward he obtained after perfectly passing the old trial [Deep Diving Safety Rope (Forbidden), Xi Huang Search Lamp (Forbidden), Black Water Heavy Oil*5 (Forbidden)] must be even more incredibly valuable.

This made Chu Xiu look forward to the upcoming free deep dive.

As he pondered, Zhao Jie smiled and said, "Of course, the [Ascension to Godhood Sequence] is not without its flaws."

"Firstly, after absorbing the sequence, all skills and traits from the original profession will be discarded."

"Secondly, once a sequence is determined, it cannot be changed to another sequence. Generally speaking, the earlier the sequence number, the stronger it is. This is why Senior Jiang specified the first two thousand sequences."

"Finally, the difficulty of obtaining the sequence is too high. It is usually bestowed by the gods upon their servants for cultivation, and ordinary awakeners have no way to obtain it through normal means."

"Oh right, there's another drawback that's not really a disadvantage, which is that once you embark on this path, your future potential is fixed. The highest you can cultivate in a low-level sequence is [Demigod], while a high-level sequence can cultivate to a special rank [Pseudogod]. This rank is weaker than [God] but much stronger than [Demigod].

"Of course, worrying about this seems a bit like worrying about nothing. Since the invasion of the Abyss, how many geniuses have emerged, and how many have cultivated to become demigods?"

Zhao Jie's words made the other heroic spirits nod in agreement. Following the sequence would at least allow them to cultivate to the level of demigods, while taking the path of mortals becoming gods would likely leave them stuck as heroic spirits for life.

However, this had the opposite effect on Chu Xiu, as it dispelled his idea of ​​keeping the [Ascension to Godhood Sequence] for his own cultivation.

He also began to understand what this item was all about. It was something that, once used, one would become a "subordinate" of a certain "deity," cultivating along the predetermined path, but would never be able to surpass that "deity" in their lifetime.

With the most advanced demonic lineage, Chu Xiu naturally wouldn't be limited in his potential by such a thing.

"But what I don't need, others desperately want."

Just then, the host read out Chu Xiu's number. After a moment's thought, Chu Xiu walked onto the stage.

"I need [Crimson Dragon True Fire], [Gengjin Meteorite Iron], [Shadow Core], or similar materials."

"As for the price I'm willing to pay."

He raised his hand and waved it, and a hazy substance hidden in the chaos appeared in his hand.

"It is a Godhood Sequence inherited from the God of Gamblers, serial number 657!"

Chu Xiu's words did not cause much of a stir in the meeting room; most people simply glanced at them and then paid no more attention.

The reason is simple: very few people in the entire venue had ever heard of this prop!
Most people simply treat it as some strange little prop and laugh it off.

However, the group of heroic spirits sitting in the No. 1 VIP box stood up from their chairs like springs the moment Chu Xiu finished speaking, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief!
"The Ascension to Godhood Sequence??? Brother Qin actually possesses the Ascension to Godhood Sequence???"

So the reason he asked about this was because he had it on him!

Chu Xiu's image in the hearts of all the heroic spirits instantly became even more mysterious and lofty.

He possesses immense strength, wields unheard-of supernatural abilities, and is also a weapon refiner. Most terrifyingly, he not only possesses a Godhood Sequence, but he's also willing to sell it! And it's a Sequence of 1000!

"Could it be that this person possesses an even higher sequence of ascension to godhood?"

Thinking of this, even those veteran heroes couldn't help but think more highly of Chu Xiu. To be honest, before this, although they showed enough enthusiasm for Chu Xiu on the surface, having been in high positions and holding great power for a long time, they subconsciously had some contempt for Chu Xiu.

But now things are completely different. They have a vague intuition that Chu Xiu is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface! They must intensify their efforts to win him over!
Of course, that's all for later. Right now, the most important thing is to secure this Godhood Sequence!

Jiang Lingfu's eyes lit up, and his voice was excited: "Brother Qin, are you truly in the order of ascending to godhood? May I go up on stage to see for myself?"

“Of course,” Chu Xiu said calmly.

Jiang Lingfu raised his hand and grabbed, shattering the reinforced soundproof glass in front of him. Then, he leaped onto the stage.

After confirming the authenticity of the props, he couldn't help but reveal his ecstatic joy!

"Brother Qin, I want this item. I'll offer one million, no, two million karma points!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously calm venue erupted into chaos, as if a pot of hot oil had been poured into it!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, doubting their ears!

Did they hear it correctly?

Two million causal points!!!

According to black market prices, that's over 500 to 900 billion Chinese yuan!

Moreover, due to the restrictions on the control of causal points, the stock of Huaxia coins on the black market is not large, and it does not support large transactions. Even in a prosperous area like Kyoto, being able to buy 100,000 causal points at once is already considered extremely lucky.

Jiang Lingfu actually threw out two million yuan in one go! He even smashed the glass and rushed out!

This enormous amount completely stunned everyone. Most of the awakened individuals present had never even seen so many causal points in their entire lives, let alone possessed them!
They couldn't help but wonder what exactly this "Sequence of Ascension to Godhood" was, that it could cause a heroic spirit to lose his composure like this.
The people in the room immediately started searching, but they soon discovered that there was no information about this item on the internet.

When several insiders revealed the source of the item, everyone gasped in shock, then looked at Chu Xiu with burning eyes.

They never expected to encounter such a significant deal at this year's trade fair!

Faced with Jiang Lingfu's offer, Chu Xiu's face showed a conflicted expression.

Jiang Lingfu seemed to have no intention of bargaining at all, and immediately quoted a terrifying price of two million causal points.

Normally, Chu Xiu would have readily agreed.

But right now, he actually needs the materials to refine more, so it doesn't matter if the matter of causal points is slowed down a bit.

Before he could make up his mind, a laugh rang out behind Jiang Lingfu: "Brother Jiang, what Brother Qin wants are materials, what's the point of giving him karma points? Besides, even your Jiang family would feel the pinch if you gave him so many karma points, can you really raise so many karma points right now?"

Two million Karma Points are nothing to the Jiang family, but Karma Points have a unique characteristic: they can directly increase cultivation without any side effects! Therefore, most Awakened Ones use Karma Points immediately after obtaining them and do not have the habit of accumulating them.

So it's really not easy to come up with two million in one go!
Jiang Lingfu snorted coldly: "Sun Shangwu, whether I can produce it or not is none of your concern. Since I proposed the transaction, I naturally have the ability to pay. Are you doubting the foundation of our Jiang family?"

Sun Shangwu smiled and said, "I am not questioning Brother Jiang, but merely asking a normal question."

As he spoke, he turned to Chu Xiu: "Brother Qin, I just asked the brothers in the guild, I wonder if this item meets your requirements?"

Sun Shangwu tapped his bracelet, and detailed information about a material was projected onto the bracelet.

【Shimmering Demon Gold: Possesses exceptional energy conductivity and can be used as a refining material.】

Besides the brief introduction, there were various detailed measurement data and analyses. Chu Xiu squinted at them for a while, and based on the records in the inheritance, he made some calculations and found that it seemed feasible from the perspective of the five elements' compatibility. Of course, Chu Xiu was not a master of weapon crafting, and his estimation could not be 100% accurate, but he was sure that the general direction was correct.

Just like building a bicycle frame, whether you use iron or aluminum, the only differences are in specific weight, strength, etc., but it's impossible for it to be impossible to build or for the frame to explode on the spot.

More importantly, this piece of psionic magic gold is very large, allowing for a very high proportion of mixed materials, which might actually make it even better.

But before he could speak, another heroic spirit approached him: "Brother Qin, take a look at this."

Chu Xiu glanced at it and found that it was yet another matching material!

But that wasn't all. A total of seven or eight heroic spirits came up, each carrying suitable materials, and some even brought out four or five at once!
It seems these people weren't short of goods; they had been hiding them all along.

However, that's human nature; no one will willingly reveal their treasures without sufficient benefit.

Even Zhao Jie, who had been there before, came over. He pushed up his glasses and a stiff smile appeared on his face: "Senior Qin, do you still need this [Netherworld Flame]?"

He was clearly not good at bargaining, and his forced smile amused Chu Xiu, but he didn't make things difficult for him. He simply said, "I want it, but just this one isn't enough."

Zhao Jie nodded, then shrank back and fiddled with his communication bracelet, probably to communicate with his clansmen.

Faced with this group of heroic spirits who had intercepted him halfway, Jiang Lingfu was furious, his face contorted with rage. He roared, "The Ascension to Godhood sequence is what I want! What are you all doing here trying to take it from me?"

Sun Shangwu smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, who could have known it would actually exist? Such a good thing, what's the point of asking whether you want it or not? Naturally, it depends on your strength, and the capable will take it."

The other heroic spirits echoed this sentiment.

Jiang Lingfu was at a loss for words and could only urgently contact the clan steward to open the clan's secret vault and seek out suitable items to trade with Chu Xiu.

For a moment, these normally high-ranking and powerful heroic spirits surrounded Chu Xiu and argued like middle-aged women buying vegetables at a market, leaving the generals and kings below dumbfounded.

But someone soon reacted.

This is an incredible windfall!
Almost everyone present began searching for matching materials from themselves, their friends, or their families.

These generals and kings naturally dared not hope to ascend to the godhood sequence, but the eager look on the faces of the heroes in the stands suggested that those materials could be sold for one, two, or even three or five times the usual price!

The lively scene surprised Chu Xiu, giving him a clearer understanding of the value of the Godhood Sequence.

"Someone like me, ranked in the top 1,000 of the Ascension Sequence, is probably only slightly less valuable than [Mythical] equipment."

Of course, it still can't compare to a complete [Mythical] equipment. After all, many powerful people, like Chu Xiu, are proud and unwilling to give up their profession and talents. Many others have also obtained higher ranks by trading with [gods] in the abyss.

657 can only satisfy the needs of ordinary Heroic Spirits. The geniuses among the Heroic Spirits, those SS or even SSS professionals, must be at least in the top 500 for them to even look at.

Having made up his mind, after everyone had shown Chu Xiu almost all the materials, he also offered his price.

He gently extended his finger, pointing to three items.

【Netherworld Flame】, 【Meteorite Iron】, and 【Overclocking Core】.

"Whoever can collect all three items can trade this Ascension Sequence directly with me. First come, first served."

"But if only the first two items are available, additional items must be paid for, and the highest bidder wins."

“Similar materials exist and can be used as substitutes, but additional costs will be incurred.”

Putting aside the [Overclocking Core] for now, [Netherworld Flame] and [Meteorite Divine Iron] are the most suitable main materials he discovered, and it is possible to raise the grade of [Eight Desolate Netherfire Array] and [Four Symbols Yin Yang Furnace] to the upper three grades!

Unfortunately, the scene quieted down considerably after Chu Xiu finished speaking.

The reason is simple: Chu Xiu's asking price was too high, which scared away most people.

Any one of these three items is worth over 200 billion, especially the first two, which can be used as the main materials for [Mythical] equipment! Moreover, they are versatile main equipment such as armor and weapons! They are worth at least 300 to 400 billion!

Although these heroic spirits yearned to ascend to the ranks of the gods, none of them wanted to be taken advantage of.

If they could unite, they could pressure Chu Xiu to lower the price, but unfortunately, the allure of the Godhood Sequence is too great, and they dare not take the risk.

Soon, the group of heroic spirits began to communicate rapidly through telepathy. Through negotiation and exchange of interests, they finally reached a compromise.

Zhao Jie stepped forward and said, "I can give you the first two items, but this is the limit."

Jiang Lingfu watched from the side, his eyes filled with regret, but he didn't say anything more.

Chu Xiu understood that this was an agreement reached in advance to avoid each other raising prices.

This amused him somewhat. Before this, he had been smug about being able to join the Heroic Spirits group and avoid being overcharged at the trade fair. He never expected that the same thing would happen to him in the end.

But he didn't say much. Every heroic spirit is a meticulous person, and they wouldn't let him easily gain an advantage. It's not like when they first entered the abyss and fooled Shen Zhuo and those high school students.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel nostalgic, wondering how those people were doing now. As for Zhang Qingshan, communication between Mars and Blue Star was quite troublesome, and he hadn't received any news from him for a long time. He had been training in the army for three months, and he wondered how he was doing now.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu said without further thought, "Deal."

With a wave of his hand, the Godhood Sequence flew out, and the transaction was completed on the spot.

Next, he turned to Sun Shangwu and asked, "I wonder if you still sell your [Overclocking Core]?"

Sun Shangwu was slightly taken aback and hesitated, saying, "This [Overclocking Core] is not mine. It belongs to a good brother of my Martial Extreme Guild. Without a suitable price, I'm afraid it cannot be sold easily."

Chu Xiu didn't waste any time and directly raised his hand, two props appearing in front of him.

【Evil Eye Buddhist Scripture (Taboo)】, 【Pagoda in the Palm of Your Hand (Taboo)】.

"How about exchanging the forbidden item with you?" Chu Xiu asked.

Upon seeing that Chu Xiu even possessed forbidden items, another gasp rippled through the crowd. However, after hesitating for a moment, the burly man shook his head.

“What about the others?” he asked again.

Unfortunately, almost no one paid any attention to it.

There was no way around it; Chu Xiu didn't want to touch anything forbidden, and naturally, neither did the others.

Chu Xiu felt a little regretful, thinking that it seemed this mythical equipment could only be forged at a later time.

Fortunately, the overclocking core can be used as the core component of the Mechanic's War Machine. Although its value is also extremely high, it is not as difficult to find as the other two materials.

Having achieved his goal and being quite satisfied, Chu Xiu bid farewell to everyone after the trade fair and went alone to a secluded place in the wilderness.

He has spent so many resources over the past six months, and now it's finally time to reap the rewards!
