American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 201 The End of Dharma Era
Seeing the female staff member signing the contract, Xiao Xian took the contract back and asked
"Does the Da Ying Museum have any other artifacts related to mythology? They need to be high-end, preferably divine artifacts."

Xiao Xian's question startled the female staff member. She thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I'll take you over to have a look."

The two walked through the dim corridor and arrived at a spacious exhibition hall named 'Waddesdon Bequest'.

"All the exhibits displayed here are donated by Mr. Ferdinand of the Rothschild family." The female staff member led Xiao Xian into the hall and pointed to an exhibit standing in front of him. "This is the Holy Thorn Reliquary, which is the treasure of the Daying Museum."

As a staff member and former Catholic, she knew the legend of the Holy Thorn Reliquary very well.

"It is said that the Holy Thorn Reliquary contains a thorn from the crown of thorns that Jesus Christ wore when he was crucified. The crown of thorns was stained with Jesus' blood when he died. Therefore, the Holy Thorn has mysterious powers that can heal diseases and drive away evil spirits."

Ignoring the reliquary inlaid with gold, enamel, crystal, pearls, sapphires and rubies, Xiao Xian focused his attention on the very ordinary-looking thorn strips in the reliquary.

As the female staff member was introducing the history and legend of the Holy Thorn Reliquary to Xiao Xian

"This is a fake." Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and said with certainty.

"Impossible!" The female staff member looked at Xiao Xian in disbelief. "This Holy Thorn Reliquary has passed strict appraisal and is absolutely authentic."

Xiao Xian did not answer her immediately, but looked at the relic box again. His gaze made the female staff member feel uneasy. When he looked at the female staff member again, his eyes became unfathomable.

"You misunderstood. I'm not saying that this reliquary is fake, but the Holy Crown of Thorns inside is fake." Xiao Xian spoke slowly, his voice calm.
"Because... there is no blood of God on it, and the status is too low, it can't be real. This holy thorn relic box should have once contained a holy thorn, but at this moment, the thorn inside is just an ordinary thorn."

"Was it switched? Or was the one sent by the Rothschild family fake?" The female staff member covered her mouth and said in disbelief.

"Who knows? Let's go to other artifacts." Xiao Xian lost interest in the Holy Thorn Relic Box, which had already been determined to be a fake. He gestured to the female staff member next to him, asking her to take him to see other artifacts.

Under Xiao Xian's gaze, the female staff's heartbeats involuntarily quickened, and they hurriedly took Xiao Xian to another exhibition hall.

"This is another important collection of our museum, the Reliquary of St. Eustace. It contains a fragment of the cross on which Jesus was crucified." The female staff member led Xiao Xian into the exhibition hall and walked to an intricately decorated wooden box.

It was a wooden box showing traces of time, inlaid with golden edges and covered with complex patterns. Each pattern seemed to have profound mysterious meaning. It was a sacred object that witnessed the changes of history.

"This time it's the real thing." Xiao Xian nodded slightly as he felt the power and divine force emanating from the relic box of St. Eustace. However, Xiao Xian did not take it away directly. Instead, he left a magic mark next to it.

Then Xiao Xian asked a female staff member to take him to search for the artifacts in the Daying Museum, some of which were real and some were fake.

What surprised Xiao Xian was that even from the artifact of the Aztec civilization, which could now be considered extinct, Xiao Xian could still feel the power and divine force from it, and it belonged to an owner.

Obviously, the demise of real-world forces will not cause any real harm to the gods.

But the power of the other party's artifact is indeed not as much as those artifacts of the real world forces that are still active. Obviously, the demise of the real world forces has also had an impact on the gods. After a walk, in the early morning, Xiao Xian returned to Jordan Belfort's mansion in London again. When he came back, he just saw Jordan running around like a fool in the living room.

"What's wrong with that guy?" Xiao Xian took the wine handed to him by Naomi, took a sip and said, "Did he go crazy due to the mental shock? Not really, right? I should have grasped the degree well, and I have been gradually improving him. Isn't he gradually enjoying it?"

"He took too much, so his best friend Donnie brought him some strong drugs." Naomi looked at Jordan with disdain, then she put her arm around Xiao Xian's arm and said, "Let's go up there and have our fun and leave him alone."

"Tell him to do it less in the future. I will design a magic to help him get rid of this dependence. Isn't this a waste of time? He can use this time to accumulate more power of corruption. If he really can't sit still, he can transform the ship into a casino and go to the high seas to have some fun. Even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this."

Xiao Xian lifted Naomi's chin and said, "You go back first. I have something to do. If you are interested, I will come to find you after I finish my work."

"Well~ I'll wait for you in the room~" Naomi said with a bright smile.

"By the way, is Donnie's wife pretty? Never mind, never mind, let Donnie bring his wife over some other day."

Xiao Xian called out to Naomi who was going upstairs and asked, although Donny did not have many roles, he could barely be considered the second male lead. Since he liked taking drugs and doing bad things, why not take his soul as well.

If Donny's wife is pretty enough, Xiao Xian will reluctantly sacrifice himself for her. If she is not pretty enough, Xiao Xian will just let her go to Jordan or another man.

"Okay. She's pretty but not as pretty as me." Naomi nodded and added.

Back in the room, Xiao Xian sat cross-legged and began to practice Qi according to the cultivation steps described in "The True Method of the Nine Heavens of Shangqing and the Great Chaos Jade Division". However, he soon discovered that this world seemed to have no spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy-enhancing skills he practiced could not play any role here.

Xiao Xian took out the white jade book from his arms and asked

"There is no spiritual energy in this world. How can I practice? Is there something wrong with the technique?"

Under his gaze, a paragraph of words appeared on the white jade page.

"Yes, this world once had spiritual energy. But now it has entered the Dharma Ending Period, and the spiritual energy has dissipated."

"Then what use do I have for you? Otherwise I'll just throw you back to the museum." Xiao Xian rolled his eyes. It would be fine if the martial arts he got from this world couldn't be used in this world.

"I can transform the origin of this world into spiritual energy, and then you can practice your skills, absorb the spiritual energy, and cultivate." The white jade book page replied.

"Ah?" Xiao Xian was confused. What kind of weird operation was this? Why didn't he just use the origin of the world to strengthen himself? In the dimensional space, as long as there was enough origin of the world, Xiao Xian could even make time go backwards, let alone strengthen himself.
