The Huangyan Armor was for defense, so the Huangyan Divine Wings were naturally for saving his life.
Like the Huangyan Armor, the Huangyan Divine Wings had two forms and the same activation requirements. For Qin Cang, activating the first layer was naturally a piece of cake.
He would have to reach the Immortal Level before he could activate the second layer.
With the Huangyan Divine Wings' enhancement, Qin Cang was confident that his flight speed could rival even the best among King Level experts.
More importantly, the Huangyan Divine Wings were part of a Heavy Treasure set. The Huangyan Claw was the same; both could be removed and equipped separately.
Of course, removing them would eliminate their disguise effect.
After all, disguising himself as an Immortal God relied on the seamless Mystic Patterns of the Heavy Treasures. Once separated, the patterns would be incomplete, but their offensive and defensive effects would remain unchanged.
This had both advantages and disadvantages. If he encountered certain unusual places, his Yan God Clan clone could explore them with just the Huangyan Divine Wings equipped. But most of the time, he would certainly equip them on his Crowned Python Clone. Only the Crowned Python Clone could perfectly combine all the functions of the Huangyan Battle Armor, and disguising himself as an Immortal God would hardly arouse anyone's suspicion.
The last piece, the Huangyan Claw, was giving Qin Cang a bit of a headache. He had never systematically studied claw techniques, so if he wanted to use it, he would have to learn some first to bring out its full potential.
Throughout his cultivation, he had always favored long weapons. Spears, halberds, and lances were the weapons he felt most comfortable using, and among the three, he loved spears the most.
Of course, using a lance or halberd wouldn't be a problem for him. He would just need to get used to it. The principles behind using long weapons were similar, with only minor differences.
But now he had been given a claw-type Heavy Treasure out of the blue. Using it as nothing more than an ordinary "button for activating a Heavy Treasure's functions" would be a terrible waste. He had to find a way to make proper use of it.
"Though there aren't many powerful humans who use claw techniques, there are still quite a few. With my understanding of the laws, I should be able to learn a few simple claw techniques. I don't need to become a master—just good enough to unleash the power of the Huangyan Claw," Qin Cang thought.
Fortunately, he still had plenty of points. Back when he passed the Universe Level Primal Sky Mountain, he had been rewarded with one hundred million points. Passing the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain had earned him a full three billion.
Those rewards wouldn't be issued until he became a World Lord. After repaying the tens of millions of points he had borrowed from his senior, Blood Blade King, he had spent one billion on Space-Time Essays, another billion on Black Hole Evolution, and then 850 million on improving his amplitude with his Crowned Python Clone.
He had also spent tens of millions of points on various other secret techniques and Amplitude Secret Techniques, and set some aside to benefit his family.
Of course, he still had quite a few Hunyuan Units, most of them earned while serving as an Inspector. He had spent a good deal, but still had some left.
"Pato, take stock of my remaining assets," Qin Cang ordered. For this kind of accounting, an Intelligent Life was clearly the best at it.
"Master, you finally remembered me! You currently have 32,511,458 points and 6,520,014 Hunyuan Units left. That's all your remaining cash, Master. Is there anything you'd like me to do?" Pato asked solemnly. As an Intelligent Life, he had his own personality, but for some reason, today he had dropped his usual cheeky grin.
Thirty-two million points and six and a half million Hunyuan Units—that was all the cash Qin Cang had left.
The largest part of his fortune had, of course, come from the three billion points he was awarded for passing the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain.
By any ordinary measure, these assets were enormous. Even a Marquis Immortal would consider them a substantial fortune. But for Qin Cang, they were nowhere near enough. For one thing, he still hadn't bought either a Fire God Source Crystal or a detector.
Neither of those came cheap.
"Forget it. I didn't expect points to go so quickly. I'll put off buying the Fire Source Divine Crystal for now. The detector is the priority. Without one, I'll hardly be able to move in the Outer-Region Battlefield. For now, find me a claw technique manual. It doesn't need to be expensive, just good enough for me to use.
"Pato, look for some claw technique manuals, preferably ones involving the Law of Fire and the Law of Space. One focused solely on the Law of Space would work too," Qin Cang ordered.
"Sure thing, Master. I'll find some for you right away," Pato replied.
As a top-tier Intelligent Life, Pato had tremendous computing power. It didn't take him long to pick out several suitable claw techniques.
"Master, based on my search, the following three claw techniques best suit your cultivation style," Pato said, then began describing them.
"The first technique is called Shattered Shadow. It's a claw technique created purely from the Law of Space, focused on close-quarters combat and very well suited to your style.
"The second is called Seven Kills of Burning Sky. It was created by combining the Law of Space and the Law of Fire. It consists of seven moves, each more powerful than the last, and is the very definition of an aggressive claw technique.
"The third technique is called Nine Absolute World-Severing. It was created by a King-level Expert of our Human Race who specialized in claw techniques. It's said that his strength was nearly on par with Blood Blade King's, which is why I'm recommending it to you. However, neither its style nor its Law Path suits you very well.
"Overall, I still recommend the first two. Nine Absolute World-Severing is powerful, but it might not suit you. The other two are a better fit."
"Then do as you suggest. Order those two techniques for me, Shattering Void and Seven Kills of Burning Sky. While you're at it, order a claw-type weapon made from G-Grade Metal, modeled after the Huangyan Claw.
"Also, check the price of a detector. I need to buy one," Qin Cang said.
"I've already checked. Given your current points, this is the best combination," Pato said, explaining the details to Qin Cang.
Since Qin Cang only needed to buy detectors, there was no need to save his points. Pato didn't hold back, recommending two extremely high-end models.
The first detector was the A123--19837 model: a detection radius of 300 million kilometers, priced at 20 million points (40% off for the Primal Secret Region).
The second detector was the SU987--383919 model: a detection radius of twenty kilometers, also priced at 20 million points and likewise eligible for a 40% discount.
The two detectors cost 40 million points in total, or 24 million after the discount.
The two technique manuals and the claw weapon came to nearly four million points. This time, he would spend nearly 28 million of his 30 million points, leaving him with just two million points and 6.5 million Hunyuan Units in reserve.
"Go ahead and order them," Qin Cang said, unconcerned about the price. Points were meant to be spent.
At Qin Cang's words, Pato promptly got to work. It was hard not to marvel at the convenience of the Virtual Universe. The two technique manuals were delivered directly within the Virtual Universe, almost instantly. The claw weapon and the two detectors would all be delivered to the estate in Wuchen Spacetime, where the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass was, after all.
