Chapter 256: Chapter 164: Plant Pact Lv6, Nice Weather, Perfect for Slaying the Dragon (4K)
In the very center of the square stood a stage constructed of wood.
At this moment, Xue Jing was sitting there in a dominating posture.
Beneath him was an old wooden chair woven from branches and vines.
Looking down at the citizens of That Country, who were busy moving various sacrificial items and laying them out on the square, Xue Jing yawned.
The sudden invasion by That Country had done him a small favor, allowing him to display his personal combat strength directly in front of the Elders Council of This Country without needing any other reason.
Afterward, things became quite simple. Once he had Renea translate that sentence for him, there was silence for a while, but nobody dared to stand up and object.
The people of the Elders Council acknowledged a hero when they saw one and knelt down, submitting to him and welcoming this outsider as the new king of This Country.
Xue Jing had no desire to play emperor, so he ordered the Dragon God worshipping ceremony to be held immediately to summon the Pureblood Dragon Species.
Normally, this proposal would have to go through a vote by the Elders Council, with approval required by over two-thirds of the members, and after the decision to hold the ceremony was made, they would inform the Shaman, who would conduct a ceremony to ask the First Generation Shrine Maiden for permission. Once granted, they would then select a day...
Anyway, it was very complicated.
But however traditional or complex the rules might be, under the pressure of absolute martial force, there wasn\'t anything that couldn\'t be compromised...
Under Xue Jing\'s "skipped" guidance, all processes were abbreviated, and the construction of the altar began immediately, expected to be ready by noon the next day to hold the ceremony to summon the Dragon God.
Since Xue Jing was not familiar with how to build an altar, he couldn\'t help and instead sat idly on the throne, acting as a \'supervisor\'.
Out of boredom, he opened his panel for a look.
[Divinity held: 1271]
After killing those dozen or so Dragon Breeds from That Country, although each was quite weak and did not provide much Divinity, the small amounts added up to a considerable total of over five hundred Divinity.
With the over seven hundred he already possessed, the amount of Divinity he now held had returned to the thousands.
"How much Divinity have I gained since entering the Intersecting Boundaries?" Xue Jing wondered, reminiscing a little.
He had upgraded Shadow Flame by one level, which cost twelve hundred Divinity.
Plant Pact had been upgraded three levels, totaling to sixteen hundred Divinity.
The two amounted to two thousand eight hundred, plus the current one thousand two, minus the five hundred provided by the Mirror Person...
Up till now, this Intersecting Boundary had provided him with nearly three thousand five hundred points of Divinity...
About the yield of seven Divine Relics!
Plus, the steady stream of combat against various Dragon Breeds had yielded a wealth of regular skill Experience Points...
"This is a bit like taking off," Xue Jing mused.
All that remained was the final Pureblood Dragon Species.
He wondered how much Divinity it could provide if he could kill it?
Or perhaps... what he could gain wasn\'t just limited to Divinity.
As Xue Jing pondered, Renea, who stood by his side like a Shrine Maiden, spoke softly:
"Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Xue Jing came back to his senses, glanced at her, and waved his hand, saying:
"What \'Your Majesty\'... Just keep calling me Xue Jing, Renea."
Renea pouted and said, "Your identity has already been confirmed by the Elders Council and written into the \'Code of Law\'...
"If I am too informal, the Elders Council would take issue with it."
Xue Jing stroked his chin: "But you are my personal translator, my only channel of communication. Would they dare to take liberties with you?"
Renea didn\'t immediately grasp the meaning of \'我\', but when the simultaneous translation earpiece received such a difficult word to translate, it quickly explained to her the specific meaning.
It was a self-reference used by emperors and rulers.
Renea retorted, "It seems you\'re getting into the role quite quickly."
After a pause, she continued, "Maybe it\'s just inertia... Because I\'ve been called \'the most useless Shrine Maiden in history\', unable to tame even a single dragon, they have always been commanding towards me like this, and even now, they still look down on me."
Xue Jing laughed softly and said:
"Don\'t worry, probably after tomorrow, you\'ll no longer be \'the most useless Shrine Maiden in history\', but \'the most legendary Shrine Maiden in history\'."
Renea fell silent for a moment, her eyes shining with resolve as she spoke softly:
"What do you need me to do?"
Xue Jing reached into his Tactical Suit pocket and pulled out four... no, three and a half Serpent Slayer Spearhead claws.
After a moment\'s thought, he put two back and handed only the two intact ones to Renea.
"When the ritual succeeds and summons the Dragon God, find an opportunity to drive these two claws into its body."
Renea took the two claws, which for some reason made her heart race, and asked, "Where should I strike?"
The Mirror Person in Xue Jing\'s bracelet spoke up, "Anywhere will do... but the torso or head would be best."
As Renea\'s fingers caressed the two beautifully shining silver-white claws, she asked in doubt:
"But... with my strength, it can\'t be possible to harm the Great Dragon God, right?"
Xue Jing replied, "Just stab it, and don\'t think about anything else."
Renea fell silent again, then spoke with a hint of dejection:
