Divine Card Creator (WN)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Qing Ming City.

In the shop.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

There was the faint sound of a pen.

Lu Ming was working hard on creating the cards.

Very soon, a new card appeared. On the surface of the card was surreal moonlight.

Yes.

This was a Moonlight Card.

The ancient tomb operation had depleted most of Lu Ming’s cards. He had to create another batch of cards to prepare for emergencies.

Amongst the three four-star limit cards, he was most satisfied with this one.

The Stealing Card was not very stable and was only effective in dealing with Energy Warriors. When it came to other vocations, especially Elementalists, the effect was negligible!

The Desolation Card…

Well…

He would rather not mention it.

When he was in the ancient tomb, Lu Ming’s Desolation Card produced a terrifying outcome only because of the men in black’s Guardian Divine Bull!

If he had been somewhere else…

He might have been dead meat.

Of course.

He could experiment and test different outcomes.

If it was confirmed that he could summon bovine creatures at different times in the same location, perhaps it would work wonders under special circumstances.

However…

This card still had a very low stability level.

Therefore…

After careful consideration, he decided the Moonlight Card was the most amazing one!

This card had a higher cost to performance index. It was purely infusing moonlight to strengthen one’s ability. Both he and Xiao-Xiaojian could each be infused with a shot of the moonlight and erupt more powers!

Therefore, stocking up on an adequate number of Moonlight Cards could ensure Lu Ming’s solid combat ability!

Well…

Come to think of it…

Since Xiao-Xiaojian was deemed peerless as a four-star, perhaps it could take a few more moonlight shots? If it could integrate a few Moonlight Cards at once, perhaps the prowess of Lightning Slash could even advance to another level!

“It’s worth a try!”

Lu Ming was tempted.

Qing Ming City was in a crisis now and everyone was working hard.

After experiencing the ancient tomb, Xiao-Xiaojian also seemed more motivated. It was very diligent now and had been cultivating non-stop since they returned.

Everyone was beginning to take this seriously.

At the thought of this, he instinctively glanced at the corner of the shop.

Over there.

Two Original Cards were drifting side by side and glowing fervently.

The blue-fringed Xiao-Xiaojian was constantly lunging at Xiao-Xiaobai. On the other hand, Xiao-Xiaobai was retreating constantly and did not want to come into contact with it at all.

Lu Ming was speechless.

It was super embarrassing!

“Come over here!”

He called the Original Card over.

“What is the matter?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was not in a good mood. He was trying to get close to…

“What are you doing?”

Lu Ming looked sullen.

“Feeding it spirit bodies.”

Xiao-Xiaojian felt very depressed too. “Didn’t we catch a lot of spirit bodies in the ancient tomb? I wanted to feed Xiao-Xiaobai and make it grow up faster but it doesn’t want them at all.”

“Why?”

Lu Ming was surprised.

“It says that they are smelly and noxious and will taint its spirit body.”

Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.

Spirit bodies were really getting more and more pampered.

During its era, they were willing to consume anything, be it smelly or not, to improve their ability, much less spirit bodies.

“Oh?”

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up. “This means that the spirit bodies have become useless?”

“What do you want to do?”

Xiao-Xiaojian became wary.

“Burning of Life!”

Lu Ming was thrilled. “Don’t spirit bodies like you guys have an indefinite life span?! Don’t you want to see whether you can burn endlessly and feel good endlessly?”

“Can I?”

Xiao-Xiaojian also felt a little tempted.

Eh?

If Burning of Life worked, Xiao-Xiaobai could go through puberty sooner!

“How do you know before trying it out?”

Lu Ming felt energized.

Hence…

He specially picked a peak three-star spirit body.

At this level, the spirit body’s ability after being burnt was still within his scope of control. Therefore, Lu Ming let it try to burn its life.

Wow—

A ball of flames flashed.

The spirit body disappeared immediately along with the flames.

Shush!

The shop suddenly fell silent.

In the air…

A trace of burning smell dissipated.

The spirit body had been burned to nothing!

Lu Ming was speechless.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

Well…

The effect seemed to be different from their imagination?!

“Did something go wrong?”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Wasn’t this ability supposed to burn life? Why was the spirit body burned into nothing?! This was strange. Could it be that the spirit body was too weak and could not endure it so it dissipated?

That was possible.

Instinctively, he glanced at Xiao-Xiaojian.

“Don’t even think about it!”

Xiao-Xiaojian’s murderous intent was obvious.

“If you dare to experiment with me, I will self-destruct on the spot!

“Don’t… Don’t think that I won’t dare to,” Xiao-Xiaojian threatened.

Damn!

It knew that Lu Ming would not let it go!

This sister-brother pair was not a good thing. One researched self-destruction and the other researched spirit body burning. Sure enough, it was not wrong to call them spirit body killers!

“Why are you that worried?”

Lu Ming peered at him.

He was not that complacent to use Xiao-Xiaojian as a guinea pig directly.

“For things like experiments, we need to take them a step at a time. We can always wait until the spirit bodies are able to endure it before you try.”

Looking calm, Lu Ming took out a four-star spirit body. “However, according to my guess, it’s very likely that the power they receive after burning is too overwhelming…

“Look, this spirit body…”

Shush!

Burning of Life.

The four-star spirit body evaporated instantly.

Lu Ming was speechless.

It seemed…

It could not endure it too.

“I’ll look for a five-star. There shouldn’t be a problem.”

Lu Ming thought about it.

Hence…

He found a five-star spirit body and activated Burning of Life again. He then watched on as the five-star spirit body burned to ashes in that instant.

Oh.

It died again.

True enough Burning of Life is not reliable at all!

“Spirit body…”

Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment and concluded.

Very possibly, as the spirit body did not have an actual body, the burning of the spirit body would result in the burning of the spirit body itself, because the spirit was the body itself!

In that case…

They would simply evaporate!

“Alright.”

Lu Ming felt a little regretful.

However…

Very soon, he felt energized again. “Tell me, how many Moonlight Cards can you integrate?”

Xiao-Xiaojian felt ridiculous.

It kept having a feeling that Lu Ming’s words were filled with malicious intent… What did he mean by how many it could integrate? Wasn’t the Moonlight Card a stimulant? In normal circumstances, only one of it could be integrated?!

“You have underestimated yourself too much.”

Lu Ming’s words were profound. “Spirit body, if you don’t push yourself, you won’t know what your limit is…”

Xiao-Xiaojian instantly felt that something was amiss.

Shush!

It instinctively wanted to slip away but Lu Ming perforated it with a beam of moonlight.

Bang!

The Moonlight Card landed!

Shush!

Xiao-Xiaojian’s entire body was shrouded in lights and it was brightly glowing blue.

Afterward…

Bang!

Lu Ming raised his hand and cast another Moonlight Card.

Bang!

Another beam of moonlight perforated Xiao-Xiaojian and great powers surged into Xiao-Xiaojian’s body again, drowning it. It fell to the ground and did not come to its senses for a long time.

One minute.

Two minutes.

…

After a total of ten minutes, Xiao-Xiaojian then digested the moonlight’s energy and got up from the floor after much difficulty.

Its ability had improved by about ten percent.

“It’s still too weak.”

Lu Ming was very disappointed.

The energy was doubled but it only resulted in a 10% increased effect!

True enough.

Xiao-Xiaojian was still too weak!

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.

If it did not remember wrong, one Moonlight Card was a four-star limit card? Shouldn’t this kind of strengthening card be used only once?!

Damn! Who can withstand it if you use it like that?

…

Suddenly…

Someone entered the shop.

“Boss.”

One cultivator asked, “Do you have any five-star Energy Cards here?”

“No.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

“Alright.”

That cultivator left regretfully.

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

Five-star…

These were the guys who were waiting for the chance encounter?

It was very interesting.

Most of the spirit body hunters had either escaped or died. There were not many of them left in Qing Ming City. However, a new group of people had replaced them.

It was the cultivators who were waiting for the chance encounter!

They were still there.

From a certain perspective, they were more dangerous than the spirit body hunters! With these guys around, Lu Ming could sense great danger!

Perhaps…

It was time to prepare a new trump card!

…

Xiao-Xiaojian was too weak. Lu Ming could only shoo it away and ask it to cultivate.

Things such as trump cards…

It was more reliable to create them himself.

Lu Ming’s current combat ability, with the combination of his four-star ability and Xiao-Xiaojian’s combat ability, allowed him to skip a level and fight beginner five-stars head-on!

However, Lu Ming needed a trump card!

Even if the card was not used frequently and was not easy to use, it could unleash its prowess during critical moments. Perhaps, its function could even be… to turn the tables!

“Looks like it’s time to create a new card.”

Lu Ming focused his gaze.

Since he had broken through to four-star, he had entered a new stage in his research of cards. However, Lu Ming did not have the time to concentrate on his research because of the ancient tomb.

But now…

It was time to study the cards!

Hence…

He took out seven Moonlight Cards seriously and then integrated them.

Bang!

Lights and shadows condensed.

Beams of moonlight surged into the Original Card.

Sealing!

Sealing!

Sealing!

…

There were a total of seven consecutive seals.

Finally, the Original Card flashed with faint radiance.

A new card emerged!

“It’s coming!”

Lu Ming was full of anticipation.

Five-star Summon Card. What could it summon this time?

Shush!

He moved the Original Card before his eyes and then turned silent.

He knew that a Summon Card would be very magical and intriguing after its transformation, and often possessed amazing feats. However, he did not expect this after summoning Moonlight!

The Five-star Summon Card was actually this…

First, Lu Ming knew the function of the card even without using it!

The card’s surface was cloudless. There was only a small sun and intense rays.

Yes.

What appeared this time was sunlight.

“Sunlight…”

Lu Ming’s expression was odd.

Obviously…

In comparison to the picturesque moonlight, the cloudless Sunlight Card felt scorching and glaring no matter how he looked at it…

Based on Lu Ming’s experience in casting the Moonlight Card, if he were to really use the Sunlight Card…

He might die.

He might die from the heat.

…

“Can’t it be changed to something else?”

Lu Ming sighed.

Sunlight…

He really could not summon this thing!

Compared to sunlight, moonlight was a very gentle force. However, when Lu Ming summoned it when he was a peak three-star… The outcome was explosions!

Explosions!

Constant explosions!

What about sunlight?

It was a terrifying element that he could not even look at directly in the eye!

If the summoned sunlight behaved like the Moonlight Card and perforated Lu Ming, he could guess the outcome without even thinking!

There would not be a delayed explosion then. It would happen on the spot!

Certain death!

…

“My head is hurting.”

Lu Ming’s head was aching.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a huge problem just when he started his research.

Although he had a hundred thousand points of energy now and they were super powerful, he still didn’t dare try a limit card like the Sunlight Card!

However…

Lu Ming came to his senses very quickly. Why did he have to use it on himself!

The Moonlight Card could be used on his enemies. Shouldn’t it be the same for the Sunlight Card?! Furthermore, sunlight obviously seemed more lethal than moonlight!

If he were to cast it on his enemies…

Oh.

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Perhaps…

The Sunlight Card is meant to be cast on my enemies!

Think about it.

After I raise my hand, a beam of light emerges and then beats the enemy hollow. How domineering would that be?!

It’s worth a try.

Lu Ming felt energized.

The Sunlight Card’s energy requirement was also ten thousand points. Nevertheless, it was ten thousand points of five-star energy!

With Lu Ming’s current ability, although he could materialize it through the Original Card, he also needed a massive amount of energy to make up for the shortfall and for the conversion before he could cast it successfully!

Of course.

It was an enormous depletion of energy!

As for the creation…

Lu Ming looked at the complicated lines and felt the urge to kill someone.

Forget it.

He would catch up later on…

At the moment, he would materialize this card through special means!

Buzz—

Buzz—

Faint lights and shadows condensed.

The materialization of the Original Card for Sunlight Card was more difficult than he had imagined.

Lu Ming gingerly sensed the metamorphosed lines on the Original Card and then condensed it bit by bit. He spent a total of two hours materializing the card.

Yes.

A whole two hours!

The materialization of surreal elements was not that simple!

Although materialization did not require him to pick up on the lines, every card had different levels of complexity and energy requirements. He would become faster at it after familiarizing himself and eventually become able to cast it instantly!

Therefore…

The first time was the most difficult.

Buzz—

Faint lights surged.

In his hands, a glimmering and dazzling Sunlight Card appeared. This was the most powerful card that Lu Ming had ever made!

There was no other!

Peak five-star!

Of course.

Due to materialization, this card’s survival time was very short. Even if its structure was complex and it was very stable, it could not last for more than one hour.

…

Shush!

Shush!

Lights and shadows flashed.

Lu Ming rotated the Sunlight Card in his hands, feeling elated.

He did not dare to test the earlier cards that he created due to unknown effects. However, this card…

To put it bluntly, it was the pirated version of the Moonlight Card.

Lu Ming could roughly guess the function of this card. Therefore, it should not be a problem if he looked for a quiet place and tested it.

Well…

He was certain.

Hence…

Lu Ming specially went to a spacious and empty area nearby.

According to his understanding, this area was very bright and sunny. It was also fairly deserted. Even if the sunlight in the Sunlight Card appeared out of the blue in the sky, it would not cause much of an impact.

Shush!

He raised his hand.

Buzz—

The Sunlight Card dissipated from his hands suddenly.

He chose an enormous rock this time. Mainly, he merely wanted to test the prowess and effect of the sunlight on the enemy.

However…

The scene that Lu Ming imagined about the sunlight perforating the rock did not appear.

The Sunlight Card dissipated and turned into a bright dot. Afterward, the lights in the surroundings became very strange and mysterious. They began to condense near the bright dot…

The sky suddenly dimmed.

The area around Lu Ming became even darker.

However…

The energy surrounding the bright dot was becoming increasingly powerful!

It was getting more and more intense!

In the end…

It transformed into a small sun!

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

T-this was the Sunlight Card?!

When he saw the small sun on the surface of the card, he thought that it had a similar approach as the Moonlight Card. Damn! To his surprise, it was actually to summon a small sun?!

Summon… But why the hell did it absorb all the lights in the surroundings?

…

Suddenly…

The small sun trembled.

It gave Lu Ming the same feeling as when Xiao-Xiaojian was stuffed with the sinister aura. Could it be that…

“Oh no!”

Lu Ming muttered under his breath that something was not right.

Shush!

He turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

The moment that he left, that condensed small sun which had absorbed an unknown amount of light energy suddenly exploded, transforming into towering brightness that engulfed the sky!

Bang!

A dazzling pillar of light shot into the clouds!!!
