Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System - 128 Chapter 128

…

Outside the pyramid, everything remained the same as they left it. All of sudden, the pyramid glowed once more just like the moment it took both of them into it. In an instant, a streak of light suddenly shot out of the pyramid and landed on the arena producing a cloud of smoke as it landed.

Emerging from the cloud of smoke is a man with a massive sword behind his back. The man who went into the pyramid and now emerge once more bringing his glory to the world.

“That was tempting. Shame I couldn’t bring her with me.” The man spoke with a calm voice to himself as he emerged from the smoke with his unusual outfit and massive sword. The man spoken of was none other than Dracule Mihawk, Yun Che’s alter ego. When he was carried by the formation, he immediately switched back to his alter ego as Chu Yueli was still outside and he did enter this vault as Mihawk before. As for Jasmine, her soul form was hidden once more by the system when it finally solved the troubleshooting before cause by Huan Xuyi’s formation within the chamber of the Apple of Eden.

Yun Che arrived back outside the pyramid as if he left and came back instantly. Chu Yueli’s sleeping body was still beside the pedestal just like how he left her. The pedestal however was slowly powering down as if it just lost its purpose. Now, he wanted to find the hidden treasure vault Xuyi was talking about before she ascended. He can only hope he didn’t destroy it by accident when he cast the Radiant Force Getsuga Tenshou from before. But, he decided to sit next to Chu Yueli’s body. This girl came with him into this vault and he was not going to let her leave empty handed.

Two hours later….

“Hnnnnnn” The sound of growling was heard from the luscious lips of a woman who was slumbering suddenly woke up from her short slumber. The woman woke up slowly accompanied by her radiating beauty and long silky brownish silver hair flowing from her head. Her beautiful purple eyes slowly opened up along with the drowsiness she felt before as she scanned her surroundings. Her mind suddenly registered that she was still in the vault where that swordsman rescued her from her dying fate.

“Where am I?” The first thing she remembered was fighting the old man on top area of the arena then her head started to hurt a lot back then. After that, she was here waking up all of a sudden.

“You’re awake.” Her eyes suddenly darted towards the man she recently interacted with. His intimidating yellow eyes is still as ferocious as ever. Only this time, the man sat near a self-made bonfire made from his fire arts near her with his sword leaning against the pedestal from before. He probably built to keep her warm as she passed out from the last thing that she remembered.

“Mihawk?” His name instantly came out from her lips.

“Don’t force yourself. You lost quite bit of energy back then. I had to do something before you hurt yourself.” YunChe spoke as his Mihawk’s persona.

“I…..what did I do?” Chu Yueli instantly widen her eyes in confusion. She remembered that she was fighting that elder and nothing else.

“You were quite feisty. I had to spend a lot of energy calming you down.” He spoke with his calm Mihawk tone unaware that he accidently triggered some kind of different situation in her mind. Chu Yueli’s mind suddenly went haywire as the first thing she thought was…

Her face suddenly went red as she suddenly hugged her body and said in her heart “Did…did..we…” Her brain finally process her thoughts as she shouted in her mind.

” I knew it…. I did something to him. Did he take advantage of my body? Why didn’t I feel it? What happened to me back then?” She started to think that he might think her as a vulgar woman. Her face went red as she never thought that she was the one who assault him. Now, she didn’t even have the face or dignity to face him. He probably had to do it as that’s the nature of all men.

Moreover, she didn’t feel a shred of anger as she thought of those things he done to her as if she was fine with it. If it were some other men, she would beat him up and probably castrate him or maybe kill him to subdue her anger despite she was the one who did it. But, if its him… Realizing her thoughts, she shouted in her mind while turning her face red. “Kyaaaa!!! What am I thinking about?!?!?! Why am I not calm as before in this situation?!?”

“What are you flustered about?” He spoke as if it was nothing.

Chu Yueli was flustered thoroughly but this man was as still as a rock even if he did it. She thought that he made a resolve as he didn’t ran away like any other or typical men after they did the deed. She assumed that he was ready to shoulder whatever things that going to happen from now on. In her heart, she wouldn’t mind if he did it with her. Although she wasn’t conscious during the union but at least he was brave enough to shoulder it. With a flustered face, she really looked as beautiful as a divine fairy as she stuttered her words conveying her thoughts to him. “Did we….. Are you intending to take responsibility for making me like this?”

Yun Che looked at her as she spoke those words. What responsibility? He never knew knocking someone out is kind of responsibility. Well, he did knock her out and treating her maybe some kind of form of responsibility? He immediately responded “What are you talking about? You were possessed by an unknown spirit of this place and started to attack me with your blade. I had to knocked you out. You passed out ever since.”

Hearing such respond, she widens her eyes and murmured “Eh??” Chu Yueli immediately calmed down before examining her lower area secretly. She realized her primordial Yin was still intact. Then, she went flustered once more. Did she just imagine the whole thing?!? She instantly thought that she was ‘attacking’ him but knowing him as the Greatest Swordsman, he probably resists her with a single move. He is stronger than her after all. Makes her feel kind of disappointed as the whole thing was imagined by her. If something did happen, she’ll at least have something to do with him.

…

..

.

Chu Yueli suddenly thought while her face went red once more “WHY AM I DISSAPOINTED?!?!”

Letting her go through with her inner thoughts, Yun Che gave her statement before some though but the moment he realized her meaning, he too went kind of haywire but he regained his composure once more before Chu Yueli started to misunderstood him. He knew what she was talking about but he calms down enough to explain things to her. She looked kind of disappointed for some reason.

In the end, he made her some Japanese tea as well as some food he cooked while waiting for her to wake up. She was quite surprised seeing a swordsman like him have spectacular culinary capabilities. Moreover, this was the most delicious food she ever tasted and the tea as well. The moment she took a sip, she instantly liked it and she was basically asking for more. Her reaction was quite similar to Little Fairy during her time.

“I never knew you had these spectacular skills.”

“It’s some basic necessities to survive. I did what I have to do.”

“I see” Hearing his respond, she was ashamed with herself. A woman like her only knows less on culinary cultivation and he even treated her with care. She never knew a ruthless and powerful swordsman had this side the entire time. Moreover, he had spectacular strength, culinary skills as well as cares for the person he’s with despite having a stoic personality. Not that she minded, but he seems to have some perfect qualities as a husband.

…

…..

….

“What in the world am I thinking about?” She suddenly went flustered but at the same time she was happy. She never knew she had this kind of feelings inside her but the image of her disciple slowly filled her mind. Then, she just went from happy to depressed instantly. How could she have the right to feel that feeling? She separated her disciple and her husband for the sake of obtaining her. Her husband probably disappeared forever after causing that mad stunt in the Floating Cloud City. Even though she heard of his reappearance, his feelings might change after all of that.

“You went quiet all of a sudden.”

“Eh, no…i… its nothing. I just had some thoughts.” She shook her head while hiding her thought.

“I see, anyway. I have something for you.” Yun Che immediately pulled some pills from his inventory. Its the same pills he gave Little Fairy to assist her in cultivation.

“For me?” She was instantly confused.

“Hnn, your strength is still stabilized after you obtained it. So, you have to consume this to stabilize your strength or else your breakthrough in the future might be impossible?”

“My strength?”

“Why don’t you see it for yourself?”

Chu Yueli slowly scanned her body and evaluate her strength but the moment she realized it. She was stumped and really shocked. She didn’t even respond as he called her as she was shaking all over.

“Peak…. peak…of the Emperor Profound Realm?!?!? How could this be…?” Chu Yueli couldn’t organized her thoughts as her mind suddenly drifted into the new realm of her strength. Basically, she’s stronger than anyone else. Even stronger than her sister and sect master herself. It means, she could finally become her sister’s ultimate partner. The dream she always wanted to achieve. But, first things first. How did she achieve it? It took approximately another 35 years to breakthrough straight to the Peak of the Emperor Profound Realm with their sect current resources. But…how….

Snap…snap

The sound of finger snapping suddenly jolted her up from her thoughts. Even though she went through a turmoil just but this man seems to relaxed for her strength to jump for an entire realm.

“Mihawk….how did….”

“The spirit did something to your body. More like tampered it. It absorbed the surrounding energies at a fast rate and boost your strength directly to the Emperor Profound Realm. But, the moment I knocked you out. The spirit left your body and I managed to destroy it but left the tampering inside you.”He spoke as he didn’t lie to her but he didn’t tell the whole truth either.

“The pills I gave you just now are the ‘Stabilization Pills’. Right now, you might have the strength but your profound veins still have the capabilities of the Peak Sky Profound Realm. You might be strong but compared to your sister who familiarize herself with her strength for a few months, she is way stronger than you even if you both had the same cultivation.”

Chu Yueli listened with intent as she heard the nature of her new strength. Its true that she had the strength but she didn’t even know the strength and skills to use it. Heck, she didn’t even know the domain skill which is learnt once a cultivator achieved First Level of the Emperor Profound Realm.

Then, he continued “The pill will open up your body’s profound veins large enough and allowed your strength to use its full potential.” Yun Che gave her the same pill he gave Little Fairy to consume as a preparation for her to enter Emperor Profound Realm. If he didn’t provide her with the pills, she will never breakthrough to the Tyrant Profound Realm and permanently capped her level. He didn’t do this for any other women but if her dream is to be with Little Fairy then he won’t hesitate help her realize such dream.

Chu Yueli was stumped once more the moment she heard his explanation. This man knew more about the qualities of profound veins and even provide her with some precious pills. Wait, if he knocked her out despite her new strength, it means his strength surpassed his current?!?

“Mihawk, can I ask a question? Just who are you?”

“Hmmm….. I am just someone who cultivate a lot of skills to survive. Is it wrong for me to help out a friend in need?” He explained while maintain his normal and cool look.

“Friend….” She murmured quietly before made a small smile. Even though it’s not what she hoped for, but it’s a start.

“To be able to knocked me out. I am sure your strength probably surpassed me. You probably use some kind of profound suppressing treasure but the selection could instantly sniff you out.”

“Do you really want to know?” He immediately stop what he was doing before shooting her with his challenging look.

“Umm… I…. If you don’t mind telling me.”

He sighs before telling her the truth. “Hmmm…. My strength is still at the Peak of Sky Profound Realm. The selection didn’t lie. That’s the truth.”

“That’s kind of impossible….” She spoke but his next statement shuts her up immediately.

“But if I went full strength, you can say my strength is at the Peak of Mortal’s Realm itself.”

She suddenly went quiet as she heard it. Her brains suddenly stopped working as she tried to digest the information. It means the man in front of her could display a combat prowess of a peak Monarch. A Sky Profound Realm practitioner display a combat prowess of a Sovereign Profound Realm.

What in the blazes?

No wonder he could toyed the other elders like chumps, destroying powerful opponents like the massive beast from before, sliced the powerful techniques and even sliced the Heavens itself. He’s become too powerful that those elders were reduced to mere playthings. He wasn’t even serious in that tournament.

“Knowing this was too much for you. But I do hope you can keep this a secret.” He slowly raised his head before he shot her with his intimidating yellow eyes.

“Of … course… I can…keep it… I can even… S…s…. swear an oath if you want.” She stuttered with her words as the being in front of her might be weaker in terms of cultivation but he’s the kind of existence she couldn’t afford to offend. Moreover, he’s the man who had her eyes on.

“There’s no need to go that far. It doesn’t matter to me. I was only kidding.” He slowly stood up while brushing his clothes. In an instant, Yoru suddenly disappeared from the pedestal and appered on his back.

“…..” Chu Yueli’s mind was fried as the most intimidating man she ever met just tell her a joke. Moreover, that kind of information can affect the entire world if it knows.

Back to his usual self, he spoke “Come…. I found the treasure vault. It’ll be a shame to left everything behind.”

“Treasure vault? You haven’t explored it yet?” She never knew he was actually waiting for her before exploring the vault. Hearing that makes her heart flutter for a moment.

“No, I was waiting for you. Besides, I only take a few items. Also….” He suddenly turned his body around and started to face her. Raising his left hand’s index finger, he immediately infused it with his Spirit Force.

“Raise your hand for me.”

“Ahhh….hnnn…” She immediately raised her hand without hesitant. Makes Yun Che wondered that she really trusts him this much. She didn’t even hesitant in letting him touch her hand. In an instant, he transferred his Spirit Force all over her body activating all closed profound entrances and thus transforming her ordinary veins into Heavenly God Spiritual veins. Actually, he really wanted to take advantage of her just like he did with Little Fairy but Mihawk’s character was never like that.

“This is…..” She was instantly baffled as he gave her one of the most powerful veins in the world like that. She never knew he could activated such veins.

“Take it as a gift from accompanying me into this tomb.” He spoke normally.

Chu Yueli was quiet as she tried to register the current moment. Then, she remembered that her sister did told her about a certain senior. The senior that bestowed her the same veins. Thinking that the information fits the bill, she spoke “Mihawk…..are you…the senior…my sister was referring to?”

Yun Che looked at her before he instantly denied his involvement. “Yueli, this world is much larger than it looks. Do you think I am the only one who knows this technique? There are countless more people knew about it.”

“I …see… Then, you’re my fortuitous encounter after all. Thank you…. Thank you so much…..” Yueli’s view of him slowly turned warm. Whatever feelings she had right now, is now clear that she really wants it to last forever. The feeling that was forbidden in her sect. The same feelings she had for her sister but this is much stronger and filling her up with happiness causing her heart beating faster than normal.

“It’s nothing. Just return to your sister and cherished her forever. Let’s go….” He turned his back on her and started to move to the edge of the arena aware that he accidentally planted a growing seed in her heart.

Chu Yueli just sit still for a while consuming the pill he gave her before while familiarizing her new strength. Mihawk did say that by the tournament began, she and her sister will be at the same strength and the pill will instantly fix her body back to shape before initiaing a breakthrough. But, she need at least to be in this realm for another three months before breaking through into Tyrant Profound Realm. If that’s his advice, then she won’t hesitate to follow it.

As for Yun Che, he was looking all over the arena for clues that might lead to the tomb. All he got from Xuyi was the vault is underneath the arena. But, he didn’t ask how to open it.

“So, find anything?” Jasmine suddenly appeared next to him donned with a new set of short skirt kimono along with a pair of sandals. Her smell also indicate she really cleaned herself this time.

“No, I have no idea where to look. I kind of forgot to ask her how to open it.”

“Well, Eagle Vision is not going to help us this time. What is it?” She instantly saw him looking at her before slapping his forehead while smiling. He spoke “Kind of dumb though but Eagle Vision is convenient after all.”

“How? Is it?”

“Guess I forgot to tell you. Eagle Vision can see transferred intent as well. In other words, you can see hidden traps or items as the owners had transfer some of their intents into the items. If Xuyi created a vault underneath the arena, it means she hid the only way to access it visible to special sights like us.” He immediately activated his own Eagle Vision before started to scan the whole arena. Jasmine also did the same. Knowing Xuyi, she probably hid where people will not expect. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly darted towards the pedestal as he saw something glowing underneath it.

“Xuyi, you rascal. No one will expect the mechanism is actually here of all places.” He suddenly smiled as he found the glowing button that Xuyi hid from them.

“You found it? I saw something glowing over here.” As Jasmine arrived, she too didn’t expect the hiding place. It was behind the pedestal all along.

“Well, we did assume the Soul Imprint was there and didn’t bother to use Eagle Vision. Never expected it was here of all places. Here goes nothing.” He pressed his hands on the glowing intent on the lower area of the pedestal. Then, all of a sudden, clicking sounds were heard across the arena as the mechanism slowly activated. Even Chu Yueli who was still stabilizing her body suddenly jolted as she heard the same clicking sounds all over again. In an instant, the arena suddenly split apart leaving behind a small circular area around the pedestal. Chu Yueli immediately jumped towards him and hold the pedestal for support.

“You found the treasure room?” She asked.

“Kind of, it was under my nose all this time.”

The area around the pedestal suddenly shifting downwards into the dark chasm below them. Technically, elevator isn’t supposed to exist in the ancient world but this is Xuyi’s vault they are talking about. Anything kind of goes anyway.

The smell of old air suddenly burst out from behind the massive doorway as it suddenly opened the moment of their arrival. As their coming was announced, the light Isu linings suddenly activated and filling the massive chamber with lights and thus illuminating the entire chamber. What they could see next was enough to cause a great shock within them.

The chamber was filled with weapons, armors, profound coins, cultivation arts and cultivation resources. All perfectly arranged and lined up in racks. To think that Xuyi collected all these treasures during her days. These things probably aged more than one thousand years old.

“Incredible…. So many profound treasures. If the whole continent saw this kind room, they will do anything to seize it. Even so far of starting a war.” Chu Yueli’s eyes were widening enough as she couldn’t register the amount of shock coursing through her. Seeing all of these treasures could catapult an ordinary person into the peak of existence. She felt that all of these treasures were ultimate treasures collected by the Moon Empress during her moments of life. She probably roamed all over the continent to collect them and with these kind of collection, she couldn’t even imagine what kind of person she was back then.

“Hmph, all of these things are trash. I am going to look around.” Jasmine slowly floats away finding something worth taking. She was bathe with countless treasures from the realm of the Gods and these things aren’t something worth mentioning.

As for the man beside her, he had an indifferent expression. These treasures might be tempting to the original Yun Che but to the current him? Not so much. Since he had the Vibramantium infusing mode and item creation feature, he didn’t need any so called Heavenly Armor. He could just infuse ordinary armor with it and poof, the defense stats spiked up and became a Heavenly Treasure itself.

Moreover, even his Shihakushou worth more than these trashes. Hell, he even sold hundreds of Spirit Profound Realm Items as trashes. These items might be good but nothing beats a self-created item. He might scout this chamber for suitable materials as he now had Blueprint mode from the system.

Xuyi did said that only some of the treasures here worth a lot more to him. That’s why he’s here and the only way out of the tomb is through this chamber. More than that, he came here to find the leftover Vibramantium meteor took by Xuyi during her era.

As they walk through the chamber, both of them still carried an indifferent expression as if nothing in this place interest them. But one thing in particular, none of them are taking anything as well. Especially, Chu Yueli who risked her life to get here. Seeing her current action, he suddenly asked “Anything interest you?”

Chu Yueli turned her head towards him as he asked that question. If she was the type person when she came in, her eyes might have filled with greed as she saw all of this treasure just like any other cultivators out there. But, despite all of these raging treasures. She felt like her efforts before this were worthless. Then, she experienced life and death situation when she was almost killed. A situation changed her perception of life forever.

“No, actually. All I ever wanted is to get out here. I already had a treasure but I ended up discarding it. Now, I wanted to go back and find it back.” She said with a soothing tone.

“Your sister. Isn’t it?”

“Hnnnn, part of it actually. Moreover, you gave me something much more than a treasure, My life. You saved me twice and helped me with my cultivation. Bringing me to a level even higher than I expected. Isn’t it enough for me to feel grateful?”

Seeing her this making everything about her from the novel was entirely different than he read. To think a person could change so much after experiencing near death. “You really are something. At least take something from this place.”

“I’ll try find something suitable.” She nodded at his insistance. Well, she’s here after all and might take something for granted.

As they walked the hallway. A notification suddenly popped from into his head.

[Ding…. System had finished scanning the whole chamber. Detected 435 Rare Items, four Legendary Items and one cursed item. It is wise for host take each one of the cultivation resources so system can duplicate them and added to the system shop.]

“Well, more candies for the girls I guess and I might need something to help Little Fairy’s breakthrough in the future. Maybe Chu Yueli, Cang Yue and Qingyue as well. Wait, three legendary item? And one cursed item?”

[Ding… Rare items are just rare Tyrant Profound Rank items. To mortals, these items can be considered priceless treasures. However, to the system. This are just rare ranked items.]

“Just mere rares? How do you classify these items anyway?”

[Ding… System classify them as Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, Unique, Immortal, Divine and God tier.]

“Isn’t that just common ranks in gaming? Priceless treasures in this world are mere ‘rare’ rank. No wonder Jasmine called them trash. Well, she isn’t wrong about that part.”

[Ding…. Legendary items are items once wielded by legendary figures of the world that knew how to utilized its powers. Huan Xuyi was one of the most powerful legendary figures of the Profound Sky Continent back then. Her armaments can be considered legendary items as all of them are Monarch level weapons. Host’s current weapon ‘Yoru’ also created from the legendary item ‘Dragon Fault’. To create a Unique item, it is evolved and reformed from Legendary rank item.]

“So, Yoru’s a unique rank item? What about my other Zanpakutos?”

[Ding…Zanpakuto are spirit based items and system classify them as God Spirit Items. The highest of all ranked weapons available only to Shinigami.]

“Well, no shit….” For him, Zanpakutos are already powerful as they were created by a legendary god figure of the Shinigami world. Moreover, infused with unique spirit born from the Shinigami. They evolved into an item surpassed gods itself. The legendary items pique his curiosity but he suddenly had a thought for Cang Yue’s personal weapon. He wanted to create something for her but he lacked the materials to do so. Moreover, Mio doesn’t have her own weapon yet. So, with the Blueprint Mode, he can rack his memories finding suitable weapons for them and he might have an idea for it as he might have something planned for Cang Yue’s fighting style the moment she learnt the Mirror of the Moon technique.

Following the system’s instruction, he arrived at the weapon’s section of the vault and most of the weapons looked unique and powerful. But to the system, these are mere ‘rare’ ranked items. Chu Yueli was kind of puzzled as these items didn’t even faze him as he didn’t even bat an eye as he continued to search for suitable items. Since he didn’t want them, it means these must be low level treasures in his eyes. Moreover, he arrived here because three of the so called ‘Legendary items’ are actually weapons.

The system leads him to a weapon at the very end of the weapon’s area. Swords, halberds hammers, spears….

There are simply countless of rare items being stacked and arranged in here. If one of these weapons came from a destroyed sect, how many did she destroyed back then? Now, he wish that she had her own novel so he can read about her adventure.

He rustled through the glittering swords and found the very item the system referred to. He was instantly baffled as the item was actually ..

.….

“A set of old swords?” The sword mentioned by the system was actually three old Chinese swords stashed somewhere within the weapon’s section. From his perspective, these things are nothing more than common ranked items, probably worse than that. As for the reason, one of the swords doesn’t even have a hilt anymore as it looked kind of chipped for some reason. The other blade looked kind of dark as if was made from a black stone and the last one was still sturdy but it looked kind of rusted. To think that these swords are actually legendary rank swords. Moreover, the swords don’t have its own scabbard. Compared to the other swords, these are the worst swords he had ever seen.

[Ding…. These swords are the personal weapons of Huan Xuyi as she once travelled the Profound Sky Continent three thousand years ago. These are her most treasured weapon as she created this sword based on the knowledge from the Apple of Eden and had excellent durability. The swords also had a unique way of channeling profound strength. The sword might be old but host can use it as a base to create a unique sword.

He lifted the old swords and gave them a few swing. The system was kind of right. The sword might be broken for now but the quality and rank was still there. Especially the first sword, it was kind of light. The second dark sword feels a little heavy but the last one is really heavy. Based on these swords, he suddenly had an idea of what kind of powerful swords he wants to create. With the Blueprint mode, it is possible. Looks like he found a suitable sword for Cang Yue and Mio. Infusing it with Vibramantium, the possibilities are endless.

As he stored the sword in his inventory, his action earned a curious glance from Chu Yueli, who was behind him all the time. “Mihawk…you chose those swords as treasures?”

He instantly replied with an indifferent expression. “I am craftsman after all. Of all the things I appraised, these things worth much more than any weapons in here. I can create a new sword much more powerful by melting this one.”

“I see…” From within, she was quite shocked. She heard a rumor that his weapons including the dagger he wore was some kind of weapon he himself created. That means any weapon in here is pale in comparison to his sword??

“Do you find any swords to your liking?” He spoke jolted her up from her thoughts.

Her expression went down as she spoke “Ah…no… All of these swords are too tempting. Bringing it to the outside world would spell trouble even for me. Besides, these might be treasures but none of them is suitable at all.” She was right about that part as most of the weapons here are great sword, heavy swords, spear, axes, double edge swords, halberd and hammers. None of these weapons are usable even for her.

“Then, why don’t I craft something for you?”

Chu Yueli instantly baffled as Mihawk suddenly spoke something different than she expected. Moreover, a weapon from him? “Ehh?!? No…no… I shouldn’t trouble you….”

“It’s okay… You lost your sword back then and none of these treasures are suitable for you. But, I might need some time to craft it.”

“Then, I’ll be waiting…” Chu Yueli was blushing furiously as the weapon he was about to create is something especially for her. She doesn’t care if it’s a mere common weapon because that’s the weapon created for her. It is much more valuable than any other treasure.

Leaving Chu Yueli to her moments, he travelled towards the armor section of the vault. He didn’t even look at the rare armors as he walked to the objective point the system gave him. Same as before, the system pointed towards an old Chinese female robe. If the system pointed towards this, then this might be a unique item as well.

However, it feels just like any other cloth the moment he touched it. Soft and silky just like any other female robes. It is nothing more than a common clothes made into a robe.

“Did the system just play a joke on me?” But, as soon as he channeled his energy into it. Suddenly, Isu markings started to appear vividly on its surface. It may look like an ordinary clothes but this robe is a futuristic robe.

“Holy fuck…. this really is a legendary item. She probably made this from the Apple of Eden as well.” With that, he just stashed the old robe into his inventory. Chu Yueli who was still behind him didn’t say anything as the swordsman chose just a plain old robe as a treasure rather than these spectacular armors. With that, he found the items required to craft weapons for Cang Yue and Mio. Moreover, he needed to find some materials for his future harem members like Little Fairy and Xia Qingyue. If Little Fairy saw him giving some new items to Cang Yue, she would nag in his ears for leaving her behind. It’s better for him to find new materials for him to build new swords and this tomb is bound to have it. If not, he’ll take all of these treasures and tear them apart one by one.

“So, find anything?” Jasmine suddenly appeared next to him.

“I found something worth taking.” He spoke internally.

“You found something from all of these trashes?”

“Kind of, I can’t give Cang Yue or Mio my Zanpakutos. But I can still forge them weapons worthy for them. Besides, Mio doesn’t have any weapons, Retsu can’t use her Zanpakuto unless necessary and Cang Yue still have that old sword of hers. Moreover, Vibramantium needed to be infused on a sword and I lacked materials to create one.”

“Oh, why the sudden interest to create swords?”

“Well, Xuyi did gave something for Cang Yue and I have some special arts for her to cultivate. The system had an upgrade feature from the Apple after all.”

“Upgrade? It has a new feature now?” Jasmine had indifferent expression as she knew the system’s feature from him.

Yun Che started to narrate the feature given to the system. What interest Jasmine was he can create any weapons from his previous worlds including modern weapons. He will tell the system what he wants and the system will build a blueprint for him. However, he needed to search for related materials to build the weapon.

“Sigh….. I have no more energy to be surprised anymore. Well, its expected as the Apple has a lot more information or knowledge in it. Basically, you can build, craft or create anything you want as long as you have sufficient materials.”

“Well, that’s the hard part. I need the materials to build it. Anyway, what about you? Anything interesting in here?”

“Hmph, If you are talking about these trashes here. I have no interest in them. But there is one thing I am interested in. Its located on the materials section over there.”

“Then, you must be referring to the item the system was referring to. I am making my way there right now.”

“Item? I don’t know. I felt a lot of bloodlust came from that item. That’s why I am curious.”

As both of them make their way to the section, both of them were greeted with a vast of materials in shelves, boxes, racks or even just lying around. If a craftsman saw this scenery, this is considered as a heaven on earth for them. Forget about treasures, these materials are priceless.

“DAMNN….Look at all these metals…!!!” He expressed his shock seeing all these metals and ores lying around.

“*sigh…. Whats so special about these metals?” She sighs as she never seen him this excited. Of it weren’t for Mihawk, he probably jump from metal to metal like a curious ape.

“Are you kidding me toots? There’s even cobalt, iron… and look at that those things in that box… she even stored chromium…. even in those shelf over there… even aluminums…. I wonder celerium exist in this world?”

Jasmine instantly raised her hands and shouted “Okay stop, I don’t even understand anything you just mentioned. Basically, all of these are precious metals?” Jasmine immediately stop his internal rantings as he felt excited seeing all these metals. Now that he had the new feature. Of course he was excited seeing the crafting materials here. Despite being bathe in infinite knowledge from the Realm of the Gods, she didn’t even understand any of the metal terms he just mentioned. All she knew was good metal, bad metal, iron and maybe copper. How vast is his knowledge?

“Hell yeah, they are. Maybe I will use these metals to create weapons for fun. Also, maybe Qingyue need some powerful weapon as well… oooh…oooh… maybe…”

She raised her hands once more and the other one hold the bridge of her nose. “Hai….hai… you can knock your head off later. Right now, we need to find that item you mentioned.”

Instantly regained his composure, he threw the metal aside and internally spoke “Ahh right, Ehem… basically, the system mentioned that item is cursed though.”

“Cursed? No wonder I felt intense bloodlust but compared to Retsu’s, this thing is still low.” He slowly walked towards a pedestal at the edge of the section. The moment he saw it, the item mentioned by the system is just a red orb. The size was smaller than the apple and but a bit larger than a golf ball. Coincidencely, it was near the Vibramantium meteorite stored by Xuyi during her era. Probably she found it at that time but seeing that there are no possibilities to smith it, so she kept it here. At least saving him the time to look for it. Anyway, back to the cursed item. The item was just a small red orb but emitting an intense bloodlust.

Chu Yueli just followed behind him and the moment she saw the orb on the pedestal, she suddenly felt the urge to spill blood. However, the moment she walked closer to Mihawk, the bloodlust urges within her suddenly disappear and she felt peace once more. She was quite shocked that he was able negate the effects of the red orb. But, she uses this moment to get closer to him.

“What in world is that?” She suddenly spoke behind him as she observes the red orb with interest.

[Ding….. Host had found The Orb of Bloodlust. This item influenced anyone around it to spill blood while it gains benefit from it. From the era of the Moon Empress based on the Apple’s recording, she stumbled upon a dark sect that uses the orb in exchange for power. The orb granted its followers powers as long as they offered blood to it causing massive bloodshed towards innocents. In the end, she annihilated the dark sect and seize the orb preventing it to cause any more trouble.]

[Ding…. Host can use the orb as a base to create a weapon.]

[Status: Cursed]

“Is this it? It doesn’t look like much.” Jasmine slowly floats around the orb to observe it. As the Star God Successor, a bloodlust aura came from it doesn’t even compare her own.

“Hmm, the system said I can use it as a basis to create a sword. Wonder what type of…. Got it!!! I knew the perfect sword to create based from it.” He instantly thought a perfect weapon to use the orb as a material. But Chu Yueli’s soothing voice instantly woke him up.

“Mihawk? What in the world is that?”

“This is the Orb of Bloodlust. It wants blood in exchange for power.”

“Heavens, a treasure like this exist?” She widen her eyes as this is the first time she seen such a treasure.

“Treasure? It has taken more innocent lives by influence anyone to kill and kill. No wonder the Moon Empress kept it here.”

“Then, we shouldn’t let a cursed treasure run loose.” If she kept it and returned to her sect, then the sect will drown in blood within a single night. She rather leave it here rather than keeping it.

“Nope, I’ll keep it. Its bloodlust maybe strong but if you can resist it.”

“No, I couldn’t. The only way I can resist its temptation because I stood behind you. If not, I have this urge to kill.”

Yun Che just nodded before he grabbed the orb and hold it in front of his face. This thing really is trying to control him but as someone who had intense bloodlust much more powerful than Retsu’s, this thing is really a joke.

“Wonder what happen if I did this?” Since the thing trying so much to influence him, he decided to pour a little of his bloodlust in it to see what happen.

Then….

The orb just jumped above from his hand before started spinning out of control.

Bzzt…bzzt…bzzzt…

Boom….

The orb suddenly explodes externally and released a cloud of smoke. It suddenly fell back to his hand before turning dark instead of red just now. Only this time it just went quiet…

Too quiet…. Even the bloodlust aura around them disappeared. Seeing this awkward moment, the rest of them went silenced for a while.

…..

…

….

…….

….

..

.

“Did I just broke it?”

“What did you do?” Jasmine observed the entire scene just now and she was quite surprised when the orb suddenly exploded without destroying it.

“I don’t know. I poured a little of my bloodlust and this thing just went quiet.”

“Maybe its scared of you. I mean your bloodlust is much thicker than Retsu’s.”

“So, it tried to dominate me but I just scared the living hell out of it? Makes sense.” He holds the orb for a moment as Chu Yueli appeared next to him with her eyes on the dark orb. She refused to believe that the orb just now was domineering but the moment he touched it. It just exploded.

“Is this the cursed treasure? The moment you touched it, the aura just disappeared.” Chu Yueli observed the orb which exert an intense aura of bloodlust just now. Now, it’s just a harmless black crystal ball.

“I don’t know…. but I am still keeping it. Makes good material” He spoke to her before storing the orb into his inventory.

Seeing all the metals lying around, he turned his head toward Yueli and asked “You won’t mind if I keep all of this materials?”

She nodded her head and spoke “Hnnn, feel free. There’s no use if I take the material anyway. Our sect’s craftswomen have their own set of materials and if I bring these to them, they’ll be suspicious of me. It’s better for me to let you keep it.”

“I see…” He raised his hand and suddenly a small black hole appeared above it. In an instant, all the materials, metals suddenly being absorbed into the black hole including the Vibtamantium meteorite. The process was instant and left Chu Yueli gawking the entire time. In an instant, all the materials in this section disappeared leaving nothing behind. Jasmine’s expression remains indifferent as she already saw this black hole when he took all the Purple Crystals back in the mind underneath Floating Cloud City.

“Let’s go.” Without saying something about it, he turned his back towards her and move to the next section.

“Ahh…hnnn… “She nodded her head furiously seeing his capabilities. She decided not to ask any questions about it fearing that he will think her trying to pry his secrets. No wonder he didn’t wear any spatial rings. It’s because he didn’t need any.

When they arrived at the resource section, Yun Che once more shocked Chu Yueli by only taking one of each type of the rare resources. He didn’t take all of them. He only wanted a sample as the system can duplicate the cultivation resources and put them on the system shop which is quite cheap depending on the rarity. By the way, all of these resources were quite precious and the reason he didn’t take a lot of them because the system offered a better price. Besides, any samples will be purified before they are sold. She was also shocked that all of the precious pills lying around was also ignored by him. He said that those resources might be precious but most of them had a lot of impurities.

He wanted to take them so for those little spirits of him, Mizu, Kaze as well as Little Phoenix and Little Ryu but the girls did say that his pills are sweeter compared to the ‘bitter’ pills he found from anyone. So, they won’t eat any pills aside from his own. So, he left those pills here. If he wanted to purify them, the system will just charge more points from him so it’s better to left them here. Besides, creating his own is much more fun.

She did take the ones useful to her but compared to the ones her sister gave her as well as the ones she received from him. They are less effective. she had this one question in her head. But, she decided to ask him anyway. “Mihawk, are you an alchemist by any chance?”

“Hnnn, why?” He nodded.

She widen her eyes as she spoke “So, you’re a cultivator, a craftsman and an alchemist? Goodness, even our alchemist isn’t as good as you. You can appraise a pill without touching it.”

“It’s compulsory for survival.”

She went quiet once more as she tried to register the capabilities of the Strongest Swordsman in the Empire but when she knew his combat prowess, she swallowed a bit of her saliva and made a conclusion that this man is actually The Strongest Swordsman of the World and in her eyes. Only a man with such capabilities had the abilities to do so. But, she didn’t forget to look at him with warm eyes.

As for the profound coins and techniques, both of them just ignored everything as none of them is useful enough. He had limitless purple coins already and Chu Yueli isn’t the type of collecting those coins anyway. The seven fairies had special resources allocated to them and she isn’t lacking them anyway.

They made their way towards the end of the vault where the exit is located and arrived at a smaller hexagonal chamber similar to the chamber of the Apple of Eden but this chamber is smaller and had Isu linings all over it. It reminds him of the Isu chamber underneath a certain holy city back in his original world. More importantly, this is their final stop and the teleporting formation Xuyi was referring to is right in front of them. The formation was similar to the glowing formation back in the entrance but Xuyi did mentioned that only one can use this and the other will go back to the entrance.

He suddenly stopped moving at the edge of the formation earning a dumbfounded action from Chu Yueli. The weird part of this formation that it wasn’t visible to normal eyes but he could see it clearly with his own. Probably one of Xuyi’s countermeasure of this place.

However, Yun Che couldn’t shake the feeling that they are going to leave Xuyi’s inheritance like this. She spent almost a third of her life collecting these treasures and he won’t let them being buried after this. He had what he needs and Chu Yueli refused to take any treasures as her involvement was secret in the first place. Besides, she was waiting for the promised weapon he was going to give her and any treasures in here will not hold a candle to it.

Yun Che raised his hand once more and the black hole from before appeared above it. In an instant, all of the weapons, armors, cultivation arts as well as left over resources were instantly absorb into one single black hole. Chu Yueli was instantly baffled as he could take all of these treasures in an instant leaving behind a clear and empty room of the vault. After it happens, the black hole suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a flowery ring. The ring doesn’t look like much as it was more like an old ring but no one would suspect that it’s actually a massive space spatial ring.

“Well, one ring could rule them all. Sort of…..” He spoke internally while observe the spatial ring he created.

Yun Che had the system crafted a simple ring based on one of the movies he saw back in his original world. He had all the inheritance stored in the ring before it appeared on his hand. What he did next was he gently lifted Chu Yueli’s hand and placed the ring on it.

“Eh, this……” Chu Yueli was instantly shocked by his current action.

“Keep it… I have no use for the treasures but it’s a shame to walk out of here leaving all of it behind.”

“But, Mihawk. This is too much. If anyone would know I had this kind of ring. I would be hunted by the continent itself. I might involve the safety of my sect and my sister.”

“Don’t worry, only you and I have the capabilities to access it. Even if they get this ring, they won’t be able to destroy or access it. It depends on you whether you want to use it or not. If not, just hide it somewhere only you would know.”

Then, all of a sudden. A tear suddenly dropped from her eyes as she shook her hand earning a curious glance from him. “I….. Mihawk….. just why are you so kind to me? You even trusted me with this big pile of treasure in my hands. I am just someone in your way. Yet…”

“You saved me from a horrible fate…. You even elevated my cultivation…Realized my dream and love for my sister…. gave me precious resources and willing to craft me a special weapon…and giving me all of these treasures…. While I didn’t do anything at all. Why would you do all of those things? I am just a mere nobody to you.”

He was kind of puzzled by this. He saved her because it was the right thing to do. He didn’t elevate her cultivation but just help her stabilize it because she needs it and those pile of treasures are useless pile of junk to him.

He just sigh internally and replied like how he usually replied “*Giggle….. You’re interesting and I took a liking to you.”

“Ehhh??” This is the second time she heard the same response from him. He did all of those because he likes her? That though alone instantly cause her face to go red.

“Who knows what kind of person you are? You entered this tomb for the sake of finding ways to fight together with your sister. You didn’t even have a slight of greed in your eyes as you entered this chamber and willing to leave without taking anything. You didn’t even give up on living as you face death. You knew your own limits but willing to go through that all for the sake of your sister. Anyone who had that kind of determination for someone is worthy of my help.”

From within his head, Yun Che smirks internally while praising himself. “Yours truly really is a ‘smooth ass motherfucker’”

“Hmph, look at you and your words. I am sure the real Mihawk won’t say those things.” Jasmine hide her jealousy as she saw him playing words with the blushing woman.

“I know it’s embarrassing….. but I have to stay something.” Well, he can’t say anything about her sister. Moreover, it’s because of Little Fairy he helped her in the first place but now he managed to get to know her character in the tomb. She shown him a side he never seen or read before. A side she never shown to anyone else except Little Fairy.

“I…” Her mind suddenly went blank as she heard his response. She never expected for him to observe her that close. Moreover, she felt her heart was going to burst out of her chest as she thinks of his words just now. She felt comfortable with him as if she stood next to her sister but this feeling of hers was indescribable. She knew it was forbidden for her to have it but she felt like she was willing to defy the laws of her sect for him. As she had such thoughts, she lowers her head hiding her blushing face while gripping the spatial ring he gave her. She didn’t know what to do with it and she might find a way to hide it as it is equivalent of crying a hot potato.

“I think it’s about time I give you this.” Yun Che raised his hands and all of a sudden, a sword suddenly appeared on it. This is not any ordinary sword but in fact a katana he crafted from the system. Once he had those materials just now, he immediately had the system racked his memories for a suitable katana from his world. Turns out, it didn’t even take a minute as the system display powerful katanas from it. He chose one of it and purchase its blueprint for 500SP. With the blueprint feature, the building process was instant unlike the first time he built Yoru which took almost one hour. Technically this is the first blueprint weapon he built for someone and he didn’t expect that someone will be Chu Yueli.

Coincidently, he had the materials from the vault to build it. Immediately, he asked the system to instantly craft the katana using the materials, blueprint and the crafting feature for Chu Yueli. The katana he chose was never was a simple katana. The katana he chose had blue handle with a five-petaled flower design. The blade itself was infused with Vibramantium while physical of the blade is black on the top section and the other is silvery white. The sheath itself is elaborate at the first half with a blue and bumpy design, while the second half is bluish white and smooth. There are blue flowery designs embedded on the entire sheath.

“This is one of the famous Meito crafted from where I came from. I re-forged it into a powerful weapon but I think it will be suitable for you since you lost your sword.” He spoke while hiding the true fact about the sword.

“Meito?” Chu Yueli was puzzled as this is the first time she heard such word.

“Meito in your language is a Named Sword. One of the most powerful collection of swords back from where I came from. I had this for a while and I think you deserve such a sword. Since you are its new master, the name of this sword is Tachikaze. One of the Grade Swords from my birthplace.”

“Tachikaze? What is the meaning of it?” Chu Yueli was instantly confused by these unfamiliar naming. To be able to give her such a powerful weapon from his birthplace. It means his home is somewhere hidden from the world and might be a powerful faction.

“It means Severing Wind. Take a good care of it.” Yun Che just smiled with his Mihawk’s persona while extending the sword to her.

Chu Yueli raised her shaking hands to reach the sword. She was instantly baffled as he gave her one of the re-forged grade swords back in his birthplace. When she holds such a sword in her hands, she was mesmerized by its quality and look. As she caresses its sheath, she was convinced that this sword was made especially for her. For him to give her such a sword, it means he really trusted her. As she reached the sword, she resists the urge to hug him close and thanked him but that action might change his view of her.

She hugged the sword close to her while saying in a sweet voice while lowering her head hiding her blush. “Thank you, thank you….” She couldn’t repay his debt for letting her return alive. She will never be able to repay them except having these indescribable feelings for him.

“For you to give her such a powerful sword means you really trusted this woman.” Jasmine rolled her eyes for the smoothness of this idiot.

Then, he casually replied “Like I say, she had this determination for someone and it isn’t about greed or anything. Besides, she’s a wonderful girl like Little Fairy. She deserved such a sword. But, powerful it might be, it’s only a grade sword.”

“Grade sword?”

“In my home world, it’s called Wazamono or Grade Swords. These swords might be powerful in the mortal realm but it will never be as powerful as a Zanpakuto. Besides, Zanpakuto is a god grade swords and Wazamono just mortal grade swords. I’ll tell you all about it later. As for now…..” He raised his hand and gently hold Chu Yueli’s shoulder. His action earned a quick response from her but she didn’t resist him. She looked at him with her beautiful eyes and her blushes continued to radiate her beauty. But, instead of doing what she thinks he would do. All he did was a just simple action….

*Push

He pushed her shoulder causing her to feel sudden imbalance on her body. She never let her guard down on anybody but she did instantly when it comes to him. With that, she immediately stepped into the hidden formation when she lost her balance because of the push.

All of a sudden, the linings of the formation suddenly glow and sealed her instantly inside it. She was kind of dumb founded as she stepped into some kind of formation. The linings were visible in the air and she couldn’t even muster her strength as the formation was impervious to any attacks. She looked at him with dumbfounded eyes as she wondered why he did such a thing. However, his next words caused her to felt absolute guilt for him. As the formation activated, the chamber and the vault behind them started to shake as if it was hit by a massive earthquake. All of a sudden, stones started falling from above as this thousand year old vault is ripping itself apart. This caused her wonder what did caused such a change but the moment he heard his words….

As for him, he stood outside the formation staring her eyes as he spoke “The formation will only take one of us back to the outside world. The moment you entered it, it will trigger this place’s mechanism to self-destruct the moment the last survivor stepped into it. You will be sent far away from Gao Ling city and probably some random location in the empire.”

The moment she heard it, she instantly put her entire effort to break the formation. She tried countless of times but it was futile. She slowly slid to the floor while shedding her tears. “Mihawk…. Why…? Why me??? Why it couldn’t be you?!?”

He remained indifferent as he spoke “If I told you, you will never have stepped into the formation. You have someone who cares for you. She probably looking for you right now… It’s better for you to go back to her. As for me, I will be sent back to the entrance. As for the rest, you will know…”

Her face suddenly went horrified when she remembered the effects. “No….no…. You’ll be hunted…. We could fight together…. We could… escape together…. ”

“No, it’s either you or me. I’ll be fine. The path of a Great Swordsman will not be obscured by bunch of weaklings. Yueli, the time we spent together might be short and I had my share of killing my time in the tomb with you. Take good care of Tachikaze. Till our path crossed again….”

“No… no… please… don’t do this…. Why it can’t be you…?!?!” She continued to smash the walls of the formation but all the efforts were futile. She knew exactly the powers of his strength but for him to fend off those cultivators while she escaped caused her to feel an indescribable guilt.

“Farewell…..” He spoke while smiling as the vault behind him slowly crumbling apart.

“MIHAWK!!!!!” Her last words was his name as the teleporting formation took her just like Cang Yue’s ancestor back then. As the formation powering down, it activated another set of formation and this time. The destination was obvious.

Seeing his actions just now, Jasmine sighs once more while crossing her arms as she spoke with a hint of sarcasm. “Smooth….real smooth….. You really have ways to talk to women huh?”

Yun Che just remained indifferent as he spoke “Hey, it’s either me or her…. Besides, I have Retsu and the others waiting for me at the entrance and those pile of experience points waiting to be devoured. I am not going to popped in some random faraway location.”

“Be that as it may, but do you know the effects of your action just now? Do you really have to sacrifice yourself for her? You do realized that your death before is because of this.”

He just put his arms behind his head and replied “Nahhh… I know, between me and her that gets into the formation? It’s better if she’s the one who stepped in it. I just saved her life after all. Besides, its the right thing to do. She’ll get over it. It’s not bad right?”

“*Sigh… You really don’t understand women after all. Don’t you?” She spoke as this blockhead didn’t seem to aware that he created an everlasting and unconditional love from Chu Yueli for his current persona.

“Probably, it’s one of my many flaws after all. Doing the right thing might have some effects after all.”

“Hmph, and women flock themselves towards you. You will have some trouble in the future because of that”

“Maybe soon, maybe never. Anyway, let’s get out of here.” With that, Jasmine entered his inner realm while he entered the teleporting formation. As the realm self destruct, he turned once more to look at the vault for one last time before stepping into the formation. Xuyi probably spend a lot of time creating this vault and to see it self destruct is a waste but thats probably for the best. It has serve its purpose.

Now, onwards to the outside world.
