Chapter 204: Plunder Arcana, Glowing Plants

Ares Plains.

Ling Jiu and Bai Ya returned to their turf as they could not wait to take out the rewards they had just received.

Bai Ya’s beautiful eyes were filled with joy as she was excited. “With these treasures, our strength will improve by a lot!”

Ultimate Life Enhancement Liquid could strengthen one’s body.

Ultimate Gene Arcana Strengthening Elixir could strengthen their Gene Arcana cores.

The Ultimate Gene Potion, a Gene medicine that could strengthen one’s self-healing ability, allowing them to enhance their self-healing.

Ling Jiu could not be bothered with these three, so he tossed it over to Bai Ya, slightly startling her. “My dear, what are you—”

“These three things are useless to me. You can use them instead.” Ling Jiu smiled.

“How could it be useless?” Bai Ya was puzzled.

“Just take them.” Ling Jiu smiled and did not explain as he continued to check the remaining three treasures of heaven and earth.

The first one, Deep Awakening of Arcana.

‘My Arcana Replication has been awakened three times now and can check one’s Arcana information within a radius of ten meters, and the cooldown is two weeks.’

‘If I were to consume this and awaken it for the fourth time, will the detection range be larger? Or will the cooldown time shorten?’

Thinking of this, Ling Jiu consumed the ultimate treasure of heaven and earth for deep awakening of his arcana. Not too long later, he felt drowsy and fell asleep.

“Ugh...”

Seeing this, Bai Ya could not help but to shake her head as she hugged Ling Jiu around the waist and carried him into the airship next her before covering him with a quilt.

This sleep was exceptionally peaceful and by the time Ling Jiu woke up, no one knew how much time had since passed.

He noticed it was dark outside the window, and his surroundings were quiet while Bai Ya clung herself onto him like an octopus with her long legs resting on his body...

“This girl...”

Ling Jiu shook his head as he sank back into that mysterious world.

It was still dark, and the golden light orb that represented the Arcana Replication was still floating in the center of the darkness, but it was larger, brighter, and more majestic than before.

Moreover, there were more light orbs around it, with their colors ranging from black, yellow, silver, dark silver, emerald, green, silver white, dark gold...

There was a total of 14 of them, representing exactly the 14 types of Arcana that Ling Jiu had replicated.

Shadowform, Gravity, Tungsten-Form, Ten Thousand Times Gene Arcana, Five-element Manipulation (gold, wood, water, fire and earth), Dimension Arcana (Blink included), Time Stop, Ultimate Physique, Inner World and... Miniaturization.

A giant golden light orb.

Fourteen other colored light orbs.

It was like a star system and Ling Jiu did not understand why his Arcana would be presented in such a manner.

But it did not matter.

“The most central light orb representing the Arcana Replication is even greater one, and that is to say, my Arcana Replication had been awakened for the fourth time?”

Ling Jiu muttered, “I don’t know how much the replication radius has expanded, and how much the cooldown has been reduced...”

“I’ll test it out once I have the time.”

Immediately after, Ling Jiu took out the second ultimate treasure of heaven and earth. “This thing can help someone awaken a new Arcana; I wonder if it is useful to me?”

Ling Jiu had not taken a similar treasure of heaven and earth before as there was no need for that. With his Arcana Replication, why did he need to take those?

So, Ling Jiu was curious, if he were to consume treasures of heaven and earth like this, would he gain a new Arcana?

As he thought about that, Ling Jiu consumed this ultimate treasure of heaven and earth that was worth a 100,000 contribution points.

Not long after that, a surge of heat rushed to his head, and as if his brain was about to blow up, a sharp pain sang in it.

Because Bai Ya was sleeping next to him, Ling Jiu was afraid of disturbing her, so he gritted his teeth and endured the pain without making a sound. Thankfully he was used to such a pain, and his pain receptors were rather dull now, so he could still endure the pain, albeit barely.

Time passed without him knowing, and half an hour later, the pain receded like the tide and all of it was gone.

“Huh~~~”

Ling Jiu had let out a heavy breath as he could not wait to check. He wanted to know if he had awakened a new Arcana.

Ling Jiu first went to that mysterious space, and saw the dark mysterious space change again.

Earlier on, it was a star system: a golden light orb representing the Replication Arcana and the 14 surrounding orbs representing the other Arcanas.

Now there was another star system. To be precise, it was an additional ‘star’ next to the system representing the Arcana Replication as an additional light orb appeared there.

This light orb...

How to describe it?

It was like a black hole, with a dark center with only a golden light around it.

That’s right!

It was really like a black hole!

From appearance alone, the dark center and the surrounding event horizons were not much different than a black hole.

Of course, appearance was not the point.

“Is this a new Arcana?”

Ling Jiu was intrigued. “Say, what sort of new Arcana is that?”

Ling Jiu carefully perceived it, and after a good while, he still could not figure anything out. And just as Ling Jiu was frustrated, Bai Ya suddenly woke up. “Darling, why aren’t you sleeping?”

“I was, just woke up though.”

Ling Jiu patted his girlfriend on the shoulder as he smiled and comforted her. However, the moment he touched Bai Ya, a few lines of black words appeared in his mind.

Name: Bai Ya

Race: Earthling

Arcana: Thunder Manipulation (Awakened, Plunderable)

“...”

Ling Jiu was stunned.

“Pl... Plunderable?”

“What the heck does that mean?”

“Could it be that... I could plunder Bai Ya’s Arcana? Plunder...”

A wave of shock set off inside Ling Jiu. “That is to say, this newly awakened Arcana is the Plundering Arcana? Damn!”

Plunder!

What do you mean by plunder?

That it was to take someone else’s belongings forcibly, so they would no longer have it.

So, the effect of Plunder was self-evident, that was, to take away the Arcana of others for your own use.

“Taking away someone else’s ability.”

“This is a little evil.”

“But I like it, heh.”

After a moment of shock, Ling Jiu gradually calmed down as he noticed the Plunder Arcana did not... make much of a difference to him.

“I already have the Replication Arcana and can replicate any Arcana I want. On this point alone, the Plunder Arcana seems a little weak.”

“But its more tyrannical side is compared to the Arcana Replication is that once I plunder an Arcana, the person can no longer use that Arcana anymore, and that’s the only difference.

Ling Jiu mused, taking away someone else’s Arcana is a very vicious, and was something unacceptable to any Arcanist.

“So, I need to try to not let this get exposed.”

Ling Jiu made his decision. He would either not use Plunder at all, or to use it without anyone noticing. In any case, he could not let anyone know, and that was the crux of the usage of Plunder.

Immediately, it was the third piece of the ultimate treasure of heaven and earth.

“This is a weapon, an ultimate cold weapon worth 100,000 contribution points.”

It was a blob of flame.

The flame had seven distinct layers, from the inside out going from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple, corresponding to the color of the rainbow.

Therefore, the camp commandant had called this flame the Seven-heart Rainbow Flame, and it was said that the temperature of this flame could reach up to a hundred thousand degrees celsius. Terrifying!

“A hundred thousand degrees Celsius. This is enough to burn everything on Earth.”

Ling Jiu muttered and then put the flame away. For him now, this flame was definitely the perfect weapon.

So!

“This round of rewards... worth it!”

Ling Jiu made a summary of things, and at the same time he could see that there was still many good stuff in the hands of humanity’s top echelon.

“My dear, it’s almost dawn, let’s hurry up and get some more sleep.”

“Yeah!”

“AH—!!”

...

The next morning, Ling Jiu bade farewell to Bai Ya before going through Wormhole 51 and returned to the barren planet.

In fact, the planet was Io, the closest moon to Jupiter. When Pioneer Mosalz manipulated the void worm to open up a wormhole between Mars and Io, the resulting wormhole was Wormhole 51.

And then, it burrowed another wormhole between Io and Europa.

So, to enter Europa from Mars, he needed to go through Wormhole 51 to Io, and then through Io to Europa.

Io was a bridge, and as there was a middle station in Io, the difficulty of transferring water to Mars had increased a lot.

But this could not stop the determination of humanity’s top echelon, and as far as Ling Jiu knew, in the past few days, a large number of experts and engineering teams had moved over to Io.

It looked like they wanted to build a canal system through Wormhole 51 to transport the water from Europa.

The project was quite complex, but everyone was brimming with energy as when Ling Jiu arrived at Io, he saw a very lively scene.

The excavators rumbled.

The rollers crushed back and forth.

The mixer rotated at a constant speed.

At the same time, some workers in Venom Suits were commanded by experts as they were busying about enthusiastically.

“It seems like it’ll take barely a few days for the water on Europa to be transported over to Mars.”

Ling Jiu smiled and shook his head as he went to Europa. His purpose this time was simple, to hunt the monsters in Europa’s ocean.

All of the monsters Pioneer Mosalz had controlled were from the vast oceans of Europa.

Thus, Europa was also a planet of life, and one that had given birth to a huge amount of life.

From this point of view, the scientists from Earth’s guess were right.

As he arrived once again at the vast ocean, it was still dark as ever, and Ling Jiu took out the life sign detector 9527 had given him and began to search.

The ocean of Europa was too big, many times bigger than Earth, and finding monsters here was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So, Ling Jiu asked for the life sign detector from 9527.

Beep–beep–beep

Soon, the detector had a reaction, and Ling Jiu followed the directions to the place, and came to a place in the deep ocean.

It was a huge floating mountain.

But unlike the floating mountains on Pandora, it was not suspended in midair, but inside the vast, endless ocean.

The size of the floating mountain was astonishing. It was not that tall, only stretching a kilometers or so, but its base was massive, like a mountain dwarf.

The most eye-catching thing was the surface of the wide mountain was full of strange aquatic plants.

These plants were like Christmas trees with light bulbs, emitting crystal-clear light. As the clusters of plants swayed in the water, they were bright and dazzling.

As the mountain was full of glowing plants, the floating mountain appeared very bright, much like a lighthouse in the night, illuminating the sea region.

“I see! I finally get it now.”

“I was wondering earlier why a dark sea like Europa would have monsters with eyes.”

“It turns out that this glowing plants had replaced the sun as light source.”

“Amazing.”
