Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 422 Two copies
“Your pronunciation of the alien god is somewhat close to divine script,” Zhou Leng said.

Emerald Wings widened its eyes and asked, "Your divine script level is that high?"

"It's alright," Zhou Leng said.

Emerald Wings took out a large, pale white stone slab, which was five meters high.

The stone slab was broken at the edges and cracked all over, with three divine characters carved on it. The question was asked, "What do these three flat divine characters mean?"

Zhou Leng glanced at it, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he created three 3D divine runes on the 3D image software on his phone.

Each divine script has more than a hundred strokes, and Zhou Leng was unable to fully decipher these multi-stroke divine scripts.

Just like the content of "Ten Rebellious Beast Fist" and "Undying Star Body", no one dares to practice them without a translation.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Leng asked, "What you saw was a two-dimensional divine script?"

“Yes, could it be that you…” Emerald Wings looked incredulous.

“What I saw was also two-dimensional divine script,” Zhou Leng said calmly.

Emerald Wings' eyes gleamed.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said, "I can't fully translate these three divine characters right now. If you really want to translate them, I can try. If it were someone else, I would just pretend I don't know, but you, Long, are quite something. You borrowed my Martial Shadow Wall, so I can't keep it a secret. These three characters, translated into Long language, would probably be called 'Tianwangyuan'."

Emerald Wings' eyes widened as it stared directly at Zhou Leng.

“My divine script talent is very powerful,” Zhou Leng said.

“Good, very good.” Emerald Wings put away the stone tablet and remained silent.

"Is it related to the Dragon Battlefield?" Zhou Leng asked.

Emerald Wings said, "Tell me, what conditions will His Majesty offer for you to join?"

"First, she must protect my life; this is the basis of our cooperation. Second, she cannot force me to do anything on the Great Battlefield. As for the spoils, if I benefit from her map, I am willing to share them equally with her. But if not, all other gains are mine. Of course, the promised Battlefield Shield Token, two portions of Essence Dragon Blood, and two Dragon Blood Avatars cannot be omitted."

"When did I mention having two copies of the Dragon Blood Body?" Emerald Wings stared in disbelief.

"Now."

Emerald Wings asked, "Is it for Shanheyuan or Zhang Xinglie?"

"Zhang Xinglie".

Emerald Wings complained, "You're so biased! I've helped you out a lot by speaking up for the Queen, and you're siding with the Queen. When are you going to give me something in return?"

"I'll definitely do it next time," Zhou Leng said.

"Really?" Emerald Wings laughed happily, grinning with a smile that resembled Big Yellow's in some ways.

Zhou Leng said, "Come with me for a stroll. I'll buy some local specialties in Holy Snow City."

Emerald Wings said, "Then buy more and resell them; you can make a lot of money that way."

"How about we start a company together?" Zhou Leng asked.

Emerald Wings shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm not very bright and always get fooled. If you really want to partner with her, you can go to the Crimson Eye Queen. As long as you're careful and don't get robbed by her, there won't be any problems."

"Never mind, I'm perfectly sane."

Zhou Leng realized he had no money, so he went to the Snow Mountain Wolf.

Previously, the Snow Mountain Wolves had auctioned off some ferocious beast supplies, and on the way here, they handed over many magic spirit bags and miscellaneous goods to the Ice and Snow Cult to sell.

They first withdrew a full 50,000 magic gold coins, worth 1 billion Dragon Kingdom Yuan.

Magic Gold is the high-level currency of Magic Spirit Masters. In the Magic Spirit World, Magic Spirit Coins are normally used, and one Magic Spirit Coin is roughly equivalent to ten Dragon Kingdom Yuan.

They exchanged another ten million magic coins, and the two went down the mountain to the lower city market of Holy Snow City.

The population of the Demon World is far greater than that of Earth.

This world has survived numerous wars between the ten realms and is home to a diverse array of races.

Aside from spirit masters, regardless of race, their status is not high.

Upon entering the market, Zhou Leng and Emerald Wings chatted as they walked.

Emerald Wings said, "Some things in the Demon Spirit World are ridiculously expensive, while others are ridiculously cheap. For example, alien slaves that can't be exported are worthless. If they were on Earth, they could probably fetch a high price. They're obedient and hardworking."

"But some fresh vegetables are extremely expensive, and most people eat nothing but canned food."

"The monster meat here is really cheap, but it has a lot of disordered magical energy, so eat less of it. It's all artificially induced and not healthy. Even the pure, natural monster meat is much cheaper than on Blue Star, so buy more..."

"Also, some things are expensive in Holy Snow City but cheaper elsewhere, so don't buy the wrong thing."

After walking a few steps, Emerald Wings raised his chin and asked a stall owner, "How much is this piece of dragon meat?"

Zhou Leng glanced at Emerald Wings. This guy had no psychological burden at all, just like buying pork.

Zhou Leng didn't buy anything right away; he browsed around slowly first.

On the contrary, Emerald Wings was very familiar with these goods and bought quite a lot.

After gaining a general understanding, Zhou Leng began making purchases.

Located in the cold north, the magical beasts here are plump and strong, with nutritional energy far exceeding that of ordinary magical beasts, and they are not expensive.

Zhou Leng purchased a large quantity of innate magical beast meat and a small amount of grandmaster magical beast meat.

Master-level monster meat is too expensive; I can only afford to buy a little.

There are also plenty of magic potions here, and they are much cheaper than on Earth.

With so much stuff available, Zhou Leng kept thinking, "This is good, that is good too." He forced himself to stay focused, and before he knew it, he'd spent five hundred million.

Thinking that she still needed to find Azure Flame and go shopping in the next city, she decisively left.

Back in the city, after walking a few steps, I heard someone calling my name from behind.

Zhou Leng turned around to look.

Jax jogged over, beaming.

"Lord Zhou Leng, we meet again. You're also attending the initiation ceremony, aren't you?"

"So you are one too?"

“Yes. These are high-energy shells I just collected. I hope you'll accept them.” Jax smoothly took out the box of high-energy shells and handed it over, which Zhou Leng accepted with equal ease.

Emerald Wings stared at Jax, thinking to herself, "Why isn't there a gift for me? The Trupp family is no good after all."

The two walked and talked, and Emerald Wings took his leave and returned to his residence to sleep.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Jax whispered, "Be careful."

"how?"

Jax said, "I've received word that the Ice Cult is transferring some resources originally intended for Aiden to you. Aiden doesn't know yet; if he did, he'd go crazy. Don't be fooled by his willingness to give you a gift; it's only if you don't have a conflict of interest. If there is, he'll stop at nothing to eliminate his opponent."

"Has he killed other martial artists of the Ice and Snow Cult?"

Jax nodded vigorously and said, "A grandson of a Martial Saint from the Seagull Alliance, but without evidence, the other party has no way to help."

"As expected of the Mad Prince. How is your family's plan within the Ice and Snow Cult?"

"I don't know many details, but the family's annual profits from the Ice and Snow Cult and the Demon Spirit World exceed one hundred billion Dragon Kingdom Yuan."

"Net profit?"

Net profit.

Zhou Lengdao said, "Then your family's total annual net profit must be no less than 300 billion, right?"

"Not counting investment returns, it's about the same. However, apart from the Ice and Snow God Sect taking the lion's share, the rest of us received less than 20%."

"Does the Demonic Cult have cross-shareholdings with other forces?"

"Correct."

Zhou Leng said, "I heard that your ancestor was too ruthless in his dealings with the Eagle Alliance back then, and was nearly killed in a series of assassination attempts. He only survived after joining the Demon Worshiping Sect, right?"

Jax said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. The Demonic Cult is too powerful, so we have to pay protection money."

Zhou Leng continued, "In other words, although your family has a lot of income, the net profit related to the Ice and Snow Cult accounts for about half of your family's actual income?"

“So you need to be careful,” Jax said.

"The Ice and Snow Cult doesn't like to put all its eggs in one basket either, does it?"

"But if Aiden kills you, they won't say much. I suggest you establish a good relationship with the Pale Queen. Aiden dares to mess with the Ice Cult, but he would never dare to mess with the Pale Queen's people."

"Thank you for reminding me. Please tell Aiden that I have no intention of interfering too much in the Ice God Cult. I was forced to join by the Frost Hand. I hope my friendship with the Troupe family will last forever. There's no need to fight to the death over some petty gains. I believe Aiden wouldn't turn against me for a few hundred million resources, right?"

"Don't worry, I will pass on the message to him."

After chatting for a while, Jax returned and, through the magical transfer station, sent a message to Aiden about the resource allocation issue.

Aiden asked, "Are you going to deduct about 500 million in resources from my hands and allocate them to Zhou Leng?"

“Yes, I suspect this has little to do with Zhou Leng, as it was his first time entering the Demon Spirit World. It's probably the Ice and Snow Cult trying to maintain balance, and they might even be deliberately trying to sow discord between you,” Jax said.

Aiden remained silent for a long time before saying, "It's only five hundred million. Let's think about it some more. By the way, don't tell the elders about this; I'll take responsibility for it myself."

"You are truly an excellent family leader. What appears to be a loss now will actually bring enormous benefits in the future. Under your leadership, my Trump family will surely become great again!"

That evening, the Ice and Snow Cult hosted a banquet, which was attended by celebrities from all walks of life.

Under the guidance of Frosthand, Zhou Leng met the legendary priest of the Ice Demon Clan, a grandmaster elder, who had been sent by the Pale Queen.

It is called the Hanging Cold Robe.

Its entire body is covered in light blue ice. It has a humanoid appearance, but its internal structure is completely different from that of humans. On its head, like the clone of the Frost Hand, there is a pair of fleshy horns that stand up like insect antennae.

Like Frosthand, he also sensed the peculiar icy aura emanating from Zhou Leng and remained friendly, but not as enthusiastic as Frosthand.

Encouraged by Emerald Wings, Frosthand asked Zhou Leng if he could join the Hanging Moon Legion.

The man in the robe of suspended cold smiled and said that anyone could join as long as they passed the test of the Suspended Moon Legion.

Seeing that there was no chance, Frosthand didn't linger and continued to introduce Zhou Leng to the other priests of the Ice and Snow Cult.

None of the demigod priests were present, but there were many legendary priests.

One night, Zhou Leng met more than fifty grandmasters from various factions.

The next day, a huge blue light curtain enveloped the entire upper city of Holy Snow, with dazzling magical power flowing through it.

On the city walls, countless demonic cannons and giant crossbows were arrayed, and the entire sect was on high alert.

Zhou Leng stood solemnly in front of the temple gate with more than a hundred others.

The Frosty Hand stood before them, its back to the temple gate, reciting chapters of the divine scriptures in a melodious and rhythmic voice.

On both sides, representatives from various factions witnessed the ceremony.
