Catching Monsters

Chapter 731 I'll Go to the Demon Kingdom Personally

Upon hearing this, Xue Liujiu frowned deeply. Bai Shuiqing's last words had struck a nerve with Xue Liujiu.

He rose from a slave to his current status entirely thanks to the Investiture of the Gods in his hands.

This Investiture of the Gods is now his lifeline.

"Wait!"

Xue Liujiu spoke slowly, and the Hu people who were dragging Bai Shuiqing outside stopped.

Xue Liujiu slowly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Let this slave stay, and everyone else leave."

This person seemed to know a great deal about the treasure in his hands.

Soon, only Xue Liujiu and Bai Shuiqing remained inside the tent.

Seeing the curiosity in Xue Liujiu's eyes, Bai Shuiqing breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Chief Xue, could you show me this treasure you have?"

Seeing the wariness in Xue Liujiu's eyes, Bai Shuiqing said, "Chief Xue, there's no need to be so wary. If I'm not mistaken, this treasure has already recognized you as its master. Unless you die, it can only be used by you."

Upon hearing this, Xue Liujiu waved his hand slightly, and soon the Investiture of the Gods appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing the Investiture of the Gods, Bai Shuiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, having finally found it!

"This item is called the Investiture of the Gods, a treasure of the universe."

Xue Liujiu slowly sat down and asked, "The Great Thousand Artifacts? What does that mean?"

Bai Shuiqing didn't know how to explain it to the other party, so he said, "It is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. If I am not mistaken, this list has now been opened, and it has four words written on it: 'Opening the List to Confer Gods'".

Xue Liujiu's eyes lit up slightly. He hadn't shown the contents of the Investiture of the Gods to the other party, yet this guy could recite the four words written in it.

This person indeed knows a great deal.

"Continue," Xue Liujiu said.

Bai Shuiqing slowly said, "Once the list of gods is opened, the world will change drastically. The appearance of this list will cause all the masters in the world to fight for it."

"The souls of all the masters in the world will be absorbed into this list to strengthen its power."

"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I guess Chief Xue can only use some basic abilities from the Investiture of the Gods."

"This Investiture of the Gods is a heavenly book, and its functions can be divided into five categories: Heaven, Earth, Gods, Humans, and Ghosts."

"Chief Xue probably can only use the power of ghosts."

Hearing Bai Shuiqing's words, Xue Liujiu's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared in his heart. This guy seems to really know enough about the Investiture of the Gods.

Although Xue Liujiu now holds the Investiture of the Gods, he only has a superficial understanding of many things about it.

"What is your name, sir?"

Bai Shuiqing calmly replied, "Bai Shuiqing."

He rushed forward and helped Bai Shuiqing to a chair to sit down. Looking at his injuries, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, which bastard was so blind that he hurt Mr. Bai like this!"

"Tell me, I'll skin him alive!"

……

Jiang Yun's days in the Tuoba tribe were relatively leisurely; he would quietly cultivate in the courtyard every day.

These past few days, Tuoba Anyi has been quite busy and has rarely come to see Jiang Yun. Inside the residence, the Hu people who are responsible for following Jiang Yun's orders say that the Tuoba tribe has also been working hard to purchase weapons from other tribes.

Seven days have passed since Zidane left.

Soon, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard. "Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang!"

Zidane strode in from outside, a smile on his face, and said, "Sir, I have successfully brought Mr. Liu back."

After saying this, Liu Boqing stepped out from behind Zidane.

"Is it just Mr. Liu alone?" Jiang Yun hurriedly got up to greet him, but when he looked back, he didn't see any other experts on the Immortal Island.

Liu Boqing said calmly, "There are some urgent matters on Immortal Island, and we can't spare any manpower for the time being."

"Is it really as you say, that you've found the whereabouts of the Investiture of the Gods?"

Jiang Yun nodded and invited Liu Boqing to sit down before explaining that the Investiture of the Gods was now in Xue Liujiu's hands.

After listening to Jiang Yun's words, Liu Boqing frowned slightly and said slowly, "According to you, the person holding the list has already appeared. This is quite troublesome."

"The person holding the list?" Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback.

"The Investiture of the Gods is no ordinary item." At this point, Liu Boqing slowly said, "The person who possesses it is the holder of the list. Normally, the Investiture of the Gods can only be used by others after the holder of the list dies."

"Those who possess the Investiture of the Gods are extremely difficult to kill..."

Jiang Yun frowned and asked, "How difficult is it?"

“Even if the physical body is destroyed, the soul can escape with the Investiture of the Gods.” Liu Boqing said in a deep voice, “To kill the person holding the list, at the very least, you need the power of a Saint Realm expert. It’s impossible for you few to do it.”

To kill Xue Liujiu, at the very least, it would require the intervention of a sage.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Liu, do you know so much about this?"

“Of course, I was the previous holder of the list,” Liu Boqing said calmly.

Jiang Yun touched his hair: "Wait, something's not right. Mr. Liu, didn't you say that only by killing the person holding the list can others regain the Investiture of the Gods? Then you..."

“Strictly speaking, I have died many times.” Liu Boqing: “I am only alive now because of the power of the Investiture of the Gods.”

Jiang Yun asked, "Perhaps we should ask a Saint Realm expert for help?"

At this point, Jiang Yun's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "What about the Dragon Saint? When the Investiture of the Gods appeared, it was quite interested in it."

But then Jiang Yun frowned and slowly said, "However, once a sage makes a move, this item will probably fall into the hands of those sages."

Jiang Yun had witnessed the power of the Investiture of the Gods before. It was terrifying even in the hands of an ordinary person; imagine what it would be like in the hands of a Saint Realm expert…

Liu Boqing showed no sign of worry and explained, "There's no need to worry about that. As long as you're not the one holding the list, you can't use the Investiture of the Gods."

"And who can become the holder of the list is determined by the Investiture of the Gods."

"Even if I were the previous holder of the list, now that I have the Investiture of the Gods, I might only be able to exert one-fifth of its power."

"Not to mention others."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun felt a little relieved and quickly looked at Qi Da, saying, "I will personally go to the Demon Kingdom."

"Mr. Liu, what are your plans?"

Liu Boqing slowly said, "I will stay here for now and see if there is any chance to retrieve the Investiture of the Gods."

"Alright." Jiang Yun instructed Qi Da, "While I'm gone, you all protect Mr. Liu."

"Yes." Zidane nodded heavily.

Soon, Jiang Yun quickly went out, asked for several fast horses, and left.
