I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Chapter 190: Chapter 130: Harvest, New Divine Skill - Plant Pact! Reliable Youqing A Dream (4K)_2

He took a deep breath, his powerful mental and emotional control suppressing the excitement and restoring his calm.

Yet, his eyes still could hardly hide the joy.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected gain... You've arrived at the perfect time!" His gaze toward the robed woman in front of him softened a great deal.

What a Wealth-bringing Child!

At this moment, perhaps because her eyeball was directly touched, making her uncomfortable, the eyelid of the robed woman's other eye twitched slightly, and she woke from her coma.

She opened her eyes, realizing that Xue Jing seemed to be doing something to her "Stigmata," she panicked and said:

"What are you doing to me!?"

She immediately struggled, and although her body was bound by steel rails made of Shadow Flame, turning her head was not a difficult task; she managed to avoid Xue Jing's fingers.

[Contact separation, Divine Absorption failed]

Seeing this, Xue Jing frowned and showed no mercy as he slapped her across the face.

"Slap—"

"Behave yourself."

On the robed woman's beautiful, mature, and fair face, a vivid handprint appeared immediately, the Power invading and vibrating her jawbone, causing her brain to shake inside her skull, and she passed out again.

"Why does this feel so strange..."

Xue Jing's expression was odd, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

It was as if he was doing something bad...

When in fact, he was merely rightfully claiming his compensation after being provoked.

Shaking his head, Xue Jing continued to lift the eyelid of the robed woman, touching the colorful eyeball with his fingers.

As time slowly passed, the countless roots around them had withered into black hemp stalks, which then shattered, scattering into traceless black ash.

Only the messy concrete ground remained, strewn with broken holes everywhere.

[Divine Absorption complete]

"Finally..."

Xue Jing exhaled and opened the panel.

In the Divine Skill slot, beneath Twin Lifes and Shadow Flame, a brand-new skill appeared.

[Plant Pact (Unactivated): Divine Skill, Divinity needed for activation 518/500]

[Condition satisfied, activate?]

[Yes/No]

"Plant Pact? Is it a wood-element skill?"

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

He seemed to have caught onto a pattern in the activation of Divine Skills.

The master of Thousand Red and Ten Thousand Glamorous was clearly related to flowers and trees, hence a plant-related Divine Skill was activated from its Blessed One?

Twin Lifes was activated from the Cat Tail Ring, Shadow Flame from the Crown of the Wicked Woman... Are these two Skills somehow related to the two Divine Relics in a way he didn't know?

A hint of doubt surfaced in Xue Jing's mind, but he shook his head shortly after.

He clicked [Yes], activating the Plant Pact.

[Activation successful]

[Plant Pact Lv1 (Divinity needed for upgrade: 19/100)]

[Effect: After signing a pact with a plant, one can control that plant]

[Divine Incarnation: Unlocked (Unlock conditions: Divinity 19/2000, reach Lv10)]

...A simple introduction in line with Shadow Flame.

But any Divine Skill was bound to be extremely powerful.

Just like Shadow Flame, as its level increased and it developed, it went from initially unremarkable to incredibly powerful.

Xue Jing wanted to test the effects, but looking around, he found no plants nearby.

"I'll deal with this matter first."

Xue Jing stood up, looking at the unconscious robed woman, his eyes reflecting contemplation.

Although the robed woman had said she had sprinkled around a kind of Otherworld plant pollen that made people 'not want to come close', which is why no one had approached for so long.

But this pollen obviously couldn't last forever, and this place was, after all, the entrance of Maple City University with a high volume of people; such an abnormal situation would probably soon attract the attention of official departments.

Xue Jing was somewhat unsure of what to do now.

He had just absorbed a wave of her Divinity and activated a Divine Skill, it wouldn't be right to kill her and erase all traces of the deed.

After thinking it over, Xue Jing took out his cellphone from his pocket.

When in doubt, consult Youqing!

Opening his contacts list and finding the note for the rich and domineering lady, Xue Jing made the call.

He didn't have to wait too long; after a few rings, the call was picked up.

"What's up?" Wu Youqing's serene and lovely voice came through the receiver.

"Youqing A Dream, only you can help me…"

"Heh." Wu Youqing seemed to laugh on the other end of the line.

"What's it this time, Daxiong."

Since his joke had been caught on, Xue Jing couldn't help but chuckle, then he said:

"It's like this…"

He recounted what had just happened—how he was approached by a Blessed One from the Flower God Society, refused their proselytism, and then defeated them, merely omitting the Shadow Flame.

Actually, at this point, Xue Jing didn't think he could keep his remarkable ability to use Shadow Flame a secret any longer.

He guessed it must have been captured by the surrounding cameras.

But for the moment, he didn't know what excuse to use to explain it to Wu Youqing, so he chose to remain silent.

"I see…" Wu Youqing's voice was faint, as if she was contemplating.

After a pause, she continued, "I originally thought you just had a physical constitution 'that easily attracts Divine Relics,' but now it seems what you attract is not limited to Divine Relics."

"Do you have any clue why you always seem to be sought out by these incidents?"

Xue Jing was somewhat speechless.

Why was there another person teasing him? Did he really possess a Sacred Body that naturally attracted trouble?

He didn't believe it; it was just a coincidence.

"The person received orders from above, seeking me out with a specific purpose, not on a whim because they thought I looked nice and decided to forcibly recruit me," Xue Jing said.

Wu Youqing's voice carried a hint of amusement: "Just admit whether you've encountered any incidents or not."

Xue Jing: "…"

Putting the teasing aside, Wu Youqing pondered for a moment before saying, "Flower God Society… Alright, for now, take her back and keep her confined in the hotel."

Xue Jing asked, "Can she be contained?"

After all, this was a Blessed One skilled in magic.

Although he had absorbed some of her Divinity, judging by what happened when the Divine Relic and Miao Miao had their Divinity absorbed by him and nothing happened, this robed woman probably wouldn't be affected either.

"There is definitely a part of her body that is different from ordinary people. Take a look," Wu Youqing instructed.

Xue Jing nodded and said, "There is something—her left eye is strange, it's multicolored."

Wu Youqing hummed in acknowledgment, "That's the 'Stigmata,' the source of the Blessed One's power."

"After successfully receiving a Heretic God's blessing, a part of their body will mutate, obtaining characteristics similar to the Heretic God they worship; this is called the 'Stigmata.'"

"Her 'Stigmata' is the left eye, right? Then gouge out her left eye," Wu Youqing said calmly.

Xue Jing's mouth twitched slightly at the ruthlessness.

Yet, without hesitation, he immediately crouched down, reached for the robed woman's left eye, and pried it open.

Then with his thumb and forefinger squeezing the upper and lower eyelids, he channeled Power deep into her eye socket, severing all the nerve endings connecting to the eyeball.

With a dig of his fingers and a pop, he effortlessly removed the colorful, speckled eyeball.

He wasn't sure if it was because of the hard slap he had delivered earlier, but even with her eye being gouged out, the robed woman did not wake up.

"I've removed it."

"Good, now she can't use the Heretic God's power anymore," Wu Youqing said.

"The Blessed Ones of the Flower God Society rarely have abilities related to physical enhancement. Once the Stigmata is removed, they're basically ordinary people. Just tie her up with a rope and that should be enough."

"Take her back to the hotel and keep her confined. I'll speak with Maple City's officials and the hotel about it," Wu Youqing said.

"Then I'll contact the Flower God Society to find out why they came to recruit you."

"Once I have clear answers, we'll consider how to deal with this person," she concluded with a clear and straightforward plan.

Xue Jing couldn't help but say, "Impressive as always, BOSS. You even have connections with the Heretical God Cult; is there anything you don't know or can't do?"

"I just happen to know some things, and I can happen to help you, that's all," replied Wu Youqing casually.

After chatting a little while longer, Xue Jing hung up the call.

He wiped the somewhat viscous fluid off the eyeball and slipped it into his pocket.

According to Wu Youqing, the 'Stigmata' has a certain level of immortality; it won't rot or easily get damaged, so he didn't need to worry about how to preserve it.

Then, lifting the robed woman like carrying a sack, he leapt up and navigated through the crisscrossed buildings, heading towards the hotel.
