The instant Shifeng clicked to remove the curse, the crystal hand released a purple-gold glow that illuminated the room.
The ambient Mana began to condense at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Amazing! Is this really the Philosopher's Hand's power? Shifeng's mind cleared as he looked at the Mana mist around him. For a moment, he felt as if he could do anything.
As the mist gradually took on a liquid form, a ball of Mana formed before Shifeng's eyes.
An image then appeared in the ball of Mana.
In the image, it was a world shrouded in flames. The sky was shrouded in thick black clouds. The burning flames caused the air to explode from time to time. In the center of the world was flowing magma. The magma was scorching white, and white flames rose from it. The temperature of the flames seemed to distort the space around it.
However, Shi Feng could vaguely make out a gigantic door standing in the center of the white flames.
Meanwhile, a gigantic, crimson figure could be seen moving inside the white flames. The figure wielded a trident, and the surrounding flames seemed to submit to the trident.
After one minute, the image disappeared, and the room returned to its original state. Only the Philosopher's Hand remained, hovering in the air with divine runes engraved on its surface.
The Philosopher's Hand's Attribute Panel had also undergone significant changes.
[Cursed Philosopher's Hand] (Legendary Rank Item) Due to the creator's failure to fulfill his long-cherished wish, the Philosopher's Hand was cursed and lost all of its power. Only by removing the curse can the Philosopher's Hand regain its original power. Due to the Soul Dissolving Flower, the Philosopher's Hand received a soul's guidance, weakening the curse slightly.
Additional Skill- Philosopher's Soul: Provides guidance when crafting items. Duration: 1 hour Cooldown: 3 hours
What an amazing Skill! I've only begun to remove the curse, yet it already possesses such a heaven-defying Skill. It's no wonder why it's called an alchemy treasure. Shifeng was astonished when he saw the Philosopher's Hand's newest Attribute Panel.
The Philosopher's Soul's effects were most likely on par with the incomparably precious Meditation Potion. Moreover, the materials required to craft the Meditation Potion were incomparably precious, so there was a limit to how many of them could be produced. However, the Philosopher's Soul was a Skill, so it could be used indefinitely. Although the Philosopher's Soul could only be used on Lifestyle players, if the outside world were to find out about this, they would definitely fight over it.
In God's Domain, if players wished to become Master Lifestyle players, they had to create items. However, creating items was akin to throwing stones across a river. Players' progress would be extremely slow. However, with a certain degree of guidance, creating items would become much easier. Players who were just a hair's breadth away from becoming a Master Lifestyle player could become one immediately.
Currently, Shi Feng had only released a portion of the Philosopher's Hand's abilities, yet he had already achieved such a result. If he could fully release the Philosopher's Hand's abilities, it was no wonder why Kingdom's Sword's trading firm had risen to the top of the Dark Night Empire so quickly in the past. After all, Master ranked players were the core of a trading firm's competitiveness.
This made the Shifeng even more eager to complete this Epic ranked Main Storyline Quest and obtain the complete Philosopher's Hand.
However, the World Forest's location is a big problem. The Shifeng could not help but frown as he thought back to the video he had just seen.
Most players would be unfamiliar with the fiery world on the screen, and it would take them a long time to explore it. However, Shi Feng, who was familiar with God's Domain, recognized the fiery world as soon as he saw the gigantic monster and the trident in the flames.
The Flame Demon's Valley!
The Flame Demon's Valley was a neutral map. It was also a world of flames. Meanwhile, the gigantic monster in the video was the Flame Demon King, the Flame Demon's Valley's Final Boss.
Due to the Flame Demon's Valley's abundance of Source Fire Ore and Magic Crystals, the various large Guilds had placed great importance on the map. The Flame Demon King, in particular, had been one of the few World Bosses that had existed in the past. The Flame Demon King's First Kill had rewarded players with Fragmented Legendary items and Guild Promotion Orders. Hence, the various superpowers had dispatched armies to raid the Flame Demon King. Unfortunately, none of them had succeeded.
Back then, the Flame Demon King had only been Level 83. The various superpowers' teams had been Level 80 or above, and all of them had been Tier 2 players. However, none of them had been able to stop the Flame Demon King's power. Without exception, every team had been annihilated. Only after reaching Level 100 and completing their Tier 3 Promotion Quests had they managed to defeat the Flame Demon King.
The main reason for their failure wasn't because they couldn't defeat the Flame Demon King at Level 80 or above. Rather, it was because of the Flame Demon King's environment. The Flame Demon King's territory, in particular, was so hot that players couldn't approach it. Even with Fire Resistance equipment and Advanced Fire Resistance Potions, players would still lose HP rapidly if they tried to fight the Flame Demon King.
Meanwhile, after players reached Tier 3, not only would their Basic Attributes and physique improve significantly, but their Resistances would also undergo a qualitative transformation. This was the biggest difference between Tier 2 and Tier 3 classes.
This was also the reason why Shi Feng had been able to defeat the Flame Demon King.
Although he only needed to open the World Gate in the World Forest and didn't need to defeat the Flame Demon King, the Flame Demon King's flames were no laughing matter. Even if he drank an Advanced Fire Resistance Potion, he wouldn't last more than 20 seconds in the World Forest without continuous healing. Not to mention, the Flame Demon King was still alive and kicking.
He wouldn't last more than eight seconds in the World Forest. How could he possibly open the World Gate?
It seems I have no choice but to increase my Fire Resistance.
After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng concluded that the only way to open the World Gate as quickly as possible was to increase his Fire Resistance. Moreover, increasing his Fire Resistance alone wasn't enough. He needed a 20-man team at the very least. Otherwise, with the Flame Demon King causing trouble, he wouldn't be able to do anything. He needed someone to hold off the Flame Demon King for some time while he opened the World Gate.
Meanwhile, there were only three ways to increase a player's Fire Resistance.
The first was Fire Resistance equipment, the second was Fire Resistance Potions, and the third was to increase a player's tier. However, it was obvious that the last method was unrealistic.
Candlelight wouldn't have any problems obtaining an Advanced Fire Resistance Potion. The problem was obtaining a large number of Fire Resistance equipment. Moreover, they needed equipment that provided a significant amount of Fire Resistance. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to complete the World Forest Quest.
However, obtaining a large number of good Fire Resistance equipment within a short time was simply unrealistic. After all, most players had just reached Level 50, and Team Dungeons that dropped Fire Resistance equipment were extremely rare. Hence, Fire Resistance equipment was extremely rare at this level, not to mention good Fire Resistance equipment. Even the various large Guilds were in desperate need of such equipment.
Only after mainstream players reached Level 70 and above would Fire Resistance equipment become more common.
"We have no choice. We'll have to return and have Shiuse Qiangwei and Gentle Snow focus on raiding Team Dungeons that drop Fire Resistance equipment," Shifeng said, sighing.
