Chapter 1748: Phantasm Leviathan
Lex was aware of the flaw of what he was doing. By putting items in the Gift shop, merely to read their descriptions, exposed them to being bought by others. That’s exactly why, lately, when he put items in the shop, he would always make them ridiculously expensive, and slap some restrictions on them as well, for example, the buyer has to have Privilege tier 5.
When he put the Phantasm core within the Gift Shop, he similarly put countless restrictions on it, leaving it in the shop merely as long as it took for a description to be formed and for him to read it, before pulling it back.
Nothing went amiss, at least in terms of getting the core back. But what was enough time for the core to arrive in the shop, and for Lex to read the description and pull it back, was naturally also enough time for Wu Kong to sense its appearance and read it as well. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the ridiculous price, Wu Kong might have bought it. But the MP in the card Lex had given him was nowhere near enough to buy the item, which had been priced at 1 undecillion MT.
Wu Kong didn’t react - he simply blinked. What game was the Innkeeper playing, showing him that? Did he think Wu Kong might want it?
Now, Wu Kong had a reputation for being crazy - being a one-man Dao Lord army who was more than willing to face anyone who troubled him. But even he had his limits.
Wu Kong whistled, as if he had seen nothing at all, and quickly left the shop, lest the Innkeeper show him something else.
Lex, entirely unaware of Wu Kong’s experience, was reading the details of his reward.
Phantasm Core
The Core of a Phantasm Leviathan - a former member of the Sage races, and one of the original members of the Sage races at the dawn of the universe. The Leviathans fell out of the Sage races not because they were defeated, or fell from grace. Instead, it is because a new Phantasm Leviathan hasn’t been born in over an Age, for reasons unknown.
The Phantasm Leviathans are born at the Demi-Dao Lord realm, and historically almost always reach the Dao - the only exception to that being death. In the known recorded history of the universe, only three Phantasm Leviathans have ever died - leaving the remainder of the entire race still alive, all in the Dao realm. It is unknown which realm the Leviathan reside in, for no one has discovered them unless approached by the Leviathans first.
