CHAPTER 1247 LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE DIVINE PATTERNS

"But he isn't a master at the Superior God Realm, right? A level-six divine pattern should be enough for

the task," said the Gambling King.

"Deal."

A level-six divine pattern for killing King Winfred was certainly a tempting offer, even for the people of

the Blood Abyss Sect.

"I'm curious. You're already powerful enough to just kill him yourself, why go through the hassle of

paying us a big sum to kill him for you? If you say it's because of what happened just now, I won't

believe it," said the black figure.

"Isn't there a harsh rule in the Blood Abyss Sect that you shouldn't be asking your employers their

reasons for the mission?" spat the Gambling King coldly.

"I'll be back in three days for the killing points and the divine pattern, so you'd better get everything

ready before that." Without another word, the black figure put away the killing token, spun around and

disappeared into thin air.

Meanwhile, in the branch of the Starry Sword Sect, there was cause for celebration.

"I can't believe it! We made a fortune. I must admit in the beginning I was sure you'd lose, but

unexpectedly, you burst out such a powerful sword intent. You managed to turn an imminent defeat into

a victory. That was just mind-blowing,"

Murphy said ecstatically as he landed beside Darren.

"It was a narrow victory. By the way, have you got the killing points we won?"

"Of course." Murphy nodded and handed over a blood red stone to Darren. "Here you are. Fifteen

million killing points. Later, I'll ask someone to make some divine patterns. After they're finished, I will

send you two of them."

The divine pattern fragments that Murphy obtained were enough to create four level-five divine

patterns.

"Sounds good. Let's split up the killing points between the two of us. How will I be able to use the divine

patterns after I get them, though?"

"It's actually quite simple. You just need to integrate them directly into your blood. By the way, which

series of divine patterns would you like?" asked Murphy.

"Honestly, I don't know much about the divine patterns." Darren shook his head as he furrowed his

brows.

"Here is a general introduction about the divine patterns. You can take this and have a look. When you

find some that you'd like, make some haste and tell me. I need to send for a master to create the divine

patterns as soon as possible." Murphy handed Darren a pamphlet.

"Okay." Darren took the pamphlet and began to scan through it.

The divine patterns were divided into twelve series, and each series contained a variety of divine

patterns that could be further divided into twelve levels. This was somewhat familiar to Darren after all.

"Defensive divine patterns, accelerating divine patterns, strength divine patterns, blood divine patterns,

attacking divine patterns, penetrating divine patterns, augmented divine patterns, life divine patterns,

curing divine patterns, soul divine patterns, dark divine patterns, killing divine patterns," read Darren,

out loud.

There were twelve series in total. Darren checked them one by one.

After examining them, Darren had attained a general understanding of the divine patterns.

"The accelerating series is pretty good. If I can have a 'fast stab' divine pattern, it can increase the

speed of my sword and blade.

The attacking series is also not that bad. A level-five attacking divine pattern can improve my god's

power by one thousandth."

Among the many options available, Darren began to consider what kind of divine pattern he should

choose. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

After careful consideration, Darren finally chose the penetrating divine patterns.

"Ha-ha, my black god's power and my sword intent have strong penetrating power. If coupled with the

power of a penetrating divine pattern, my penetrating power would become even stronger!"

Only by combining the strong powers could he completely maximize his strength. This was the reason

why Darren decided to choose the penetrating series.

"This 'bladeless' divine pattern under the penetrating series looks like a fine choice. A level-five divine

pattern can increase my penetrating power by one thousandth. If I can collect a thousand of such

divine patterns, the penetrating power of my black god's power and sword intent will double, and my

actual combat power will increase by several times!"

Darren was getting pumped by the idea of all the possible upgrades he could make to his methods.

However, he also knew that it would be very difficult to collect a thousand level-five divine patterns.

For now, two divine patterns would suffice.

"Are you sure of your decision, Darren?"

"I'm sure. I want the 'bladeless' divine patterns."

"Well, you've got a good eye. With your special god's power, your strength will definitely improve."

Murphy nodded.

"By the way, I have to remind you that everyone can only choose divine patterns of two series at most

to be infused into their blood in their lives. Once the decision is made, I'm afraid it is irreversible,"

added Murphy.

"Everyone can only choose two series? What if someone chooses one more series?" Darren asked in

confusion.

"After one chooses two series, the divine patterns of the third series can no longer be infused into their

body. As for the reason, I don't know, either."

"Got it." Darren nodded.

"Besides, no matter what realm you are at, you can really only integrate twelve divine patterns into your

blood. That's always been the limit," said Murphy.

"What? Only twelve?" Darren was a little disappointed. He had already planned to collect a thousand

divine patterns, so that the penetrating power of his god's power could double. A maximum limit of

twelve was a big let-down.

"Well, again, no more than twelve. But if you could obtain divine patterns of higher levels, you could

replace the divine patterns that you have already integrated into your blood.

For example, suppose you've been infused with twelve level-five divine patterns, and later you get a

level-six 'bladeless' divine pattern, then you can use the level-six 'bladeless' divine pattern to replace

the old ones."

"I see. It seems that the divine patterns at higher levels are more useful." Darren nodded and

continued, "By the way, Master Murphy, what about the level-twelve divine patterns? I suppose they'd

also greatly enhance my cultivation level?"

"Ha-ha, that is correct, lad. But only the supreme gods and chief gods can use level-twelve divine

patterns. Don't even dream about having them in your lifetime," an old man said as he came strolling

in, stroking his beard as he gave a hearty laugh.

"This is..." Darren looked at the direction where the voice came from.

"This is Master Adolf, a top master at making divine patterns. He can even make level-eight divine

patterns," Murphy introduced.

"Please forgive me for my lack of manners. Master Adolf, kindly have a seat," Darren said politely and

courteously bowed to him.

Adolf gave a calm smile as he nodded and sat himself down.

"You're quite a lucky lad. You can have two level-five divine patterns at such a young age," Master

Adolf said, his calm smile still gracing his face.

"Alas! They are not quite so useful. I estimate that level-eight divine patterns will do me greater help.

Master Adolf, could you make those for me?"

"Little guy, I definitely didn't expect you to be so greedy. Of course I can create them for you. You'd just

need to give me the needed fragments."

"I don't have the fragments right now. If I obtain them in the future, I hope I can still ask you to make the

level-eight divine patterns for me." Darren stuttered and blushed in embarrassment.

"Let that pipe dream go, kid. Even a cultivator at the Superior God Realm can't get the fragments of

level-eight divine patterns. You'd better just give up instead of wasting your time.

But, tell you what, I do know a place where there are natural divine patterns. Level-seven or eight

divine patterns can be found there," advised Master Adolf.

As Darren and Murphy heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time. "Master Adolf, is there really such

a place?" they asked in unison.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. However, it's thousands of times more difficult to obtain level-eight divine patterns

from that place than killing the Divine Pattern Beasts. Who would dare take that challenge on?"

"Master Adolf, could you tell us where this place you speak of is?" Murphy quickly asked before Darren

could speak.

"Supreme God Sheffield's Tomb."

As soon as Murphy heard this, he immediately lost interest.

Darren was still thrilled. "A supreme god's tomb? Is that the place where a supreme god is buried?"

"It's an impossible feat. It is said that only a few drops of the blood essence of Supreme God Sheffield

had fallen there, and that his descendants made sure to bury them where none could reach it. From

then on, it became known as one of the most dangerous places in the land, and no one dared to enter

it," warned Adolf.

"It's just a few drops of blood essence..." What was the big deal with just a few drops of blood

essence? Why would the place become one of the most dangerous places? This information just left

Darren spinning with more questions in his mind.

Seeing Darren get demotivated as he wracked his mind about the blood essence had Murphy and

Adolf both shaking their heads as they let out a light chuckle. Darren's ignorance and naivety was

certainly an entertaining sight for them.
