Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 459: Divine Level Item - Double Fish Jade Pendant
As the Divine Level Treasure Chest opened, Jiang Liu's eyes widened as he peered inside, and promptly his expression brightened.
It looked, perhaps, like a piece of equipment?
A crystal-clear Jade Pendant was inside, with two lifelike fish carved on it. The shape of these fish resembled the Yin and Yang fish of the Taiji symbol.
Since it was a Jade Pendant, could it be a piece of jewelry as equipment?
Jiang Liu took the Jade Pendant out of the Divine Level Treasure Chest and looked at it, naturally, the attribute information appeared before him.
Double Fish Jade Pendant (Divine Level): After using it, you can exchange one skill with any allied target for a duration of 300 seconds with a cooldown time of one day, and it never wears out.
"This pendant doesn't seem all that amazing, does it?" After looking at the attribute information of the Double Fish Jade Pendant, Jiang Liu's face wore a strange expression.
A Divine Level Treasure Chest should contain incredibly powerful items, like the Divine Medicine last time, which was truly powerful.
But this Jade Pendant seemed to fall short by a great deal compared to that Divine Medicine, didn't it?
To exchange a skill with any allied target? So that means exchanging spells, even divine skills, with someone nearby?
After pondering carefully for a moment, suddenly, Jiang Liu's heart moved; he seemed to understand the formidable aspect of this Jade Pendant.
For instance, what if he exchanged it with the Scorpion Demon, and acquired her Inverted Horse Stake?
Or what if he exchanged it with Sun Wukong, and obtained Sun Wukong's Vajra Indestructible Body? Law of Heaven and Earth? Somersault Cloud, and so on?
Similarly, this exchange was two-way; think about Sun Wukong in battle getting skills like Silencing Zen, the Guanyin Mantra, or Hand of Healing?
"Although at first glance, the effect of the Double Fish Pendant doesn't seem very good, its strength lies in its openness. Ordinary skill exchanges are naturally not very valuable, but if you choose the right target and exchange the right divine skills, this Double Fish Pendant could play a huge role, right?"
After musing to himself for a while, Jiang Liu nodded quietly, thinking he had understood the value of the Double Fish Jade Pendant.
"Red Boy, the True Sun Fire looks very powerful! Would the poor monk be able to have a try?" After pondering for a while, Jiang Liu then looked at Red Boy, who was holding flames in each hand, and suddenly spoke out.
"Ah!? Holy Monk, you, can you actually control True Sun Fire? That's impossible!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Red Boy was taken aback, looking at him in astonishment.
Not just Red Boy, naturally, Sun Wukong and the others beside him were also amazedly watching Jiang Liu.
"Master, True Sun Fire is more powerful than Samadhi True Fire. If ordinary people touch it even a little, they'll immediately turn to ash!" Zhu Bajie said with a startled look, quickly trying to advise him.
As the saying goes, 'play with fire and you get burned,' and True Sun Fire is not something just anyone can play with, let alone that Jiang Liu's cultivation level was only at the Returning Void Realm.
"How about it? Let me have a go, will you?" However, Jiang Liu didn't respond to Zhu Bajie's advice; he simply looked at Red Boy and asked.
In the middle of speaking, Jiang Liu immediately activated the ability of the Double Fish Jade Pendant. After a bit of thought, Jiang Liu chose to exchange the Fiery Slash skill from his Skill Bookcase and exchanged it with Red Boy for his True Sun Fire divine skill.
As they exchanged, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and the blazing flame that was burning in Red Boy's left hand instantly flew to the palm of Jiang Liu's hand.
The True Sun Fire, tame in nature, was clearly now under Jiang Liu's control.
"How, how is this possible?" Watching his True Sun Fire being taken away by Jiang Liu, Red Boy's face was filled with disbelief, as if the True Sun Fire had completely lost its connection with him, no matter how he tried to command it.
Of course, as Red Boy lost the divine skill of True Sun Fire, he acquired the Fiery Slash skill.
But at this time, Red Boy was entirely fixated on the control of the True Sun Fire, with no mind to pay attention to the Fiery Slash skill.

"Master, how can you control True Sun Fire too!?" Zhu Bajie and the others were dumbfounded as well.
"What kind of method is this!?" Even Sun Wukong was staring at Jiang Liu perplexedly, marveling internally.
If the master had always had the method to wield True Sun Fire, then why didn't he absorb the True Sun Fire from Flame Mountain just now? Instead, he had Red Boy come to help, right?
Throughout their journey, the master had numerous miraculous methods; could this be another of his miraculous methods?
"I've never seen the master show the ability to wield fire spells before, and now suddenly he can control True Sun Fire, this, this..." Even Sha Wujing, who usually spoke very little, had a surprised look on his face at this time and stumbled over his words, unable to finish his sentence.
However, judging by his expression, one could see the shock stirring in his heart.
"It's nothing, I just borrowed these Divine Skills of the True Sun Fire from Red Boy to play around with. When I'm done playing, I'll naturally return it to him!" Seeing the astonished looks on the faces of Sun Wukong and the others nearby, Jiang Liu smiled and briefly explained.
As he spoke, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and under his control, the True Sun Fire transformed into a sea of flames, sweeping towards a nearby mountaintop.
The golden flames landed on the mountaintop. The tyrannical fire was like a red-hot iron blade cutting through an iceberg.
In just a moment, Jiang Liu retracted the True Sun Fire, and when they looked at the mountaintop again, their faces were filled with astonishment.
Apparently, the small mountaintop, under the scorching of the True Sun Fire, had been burned away.
Visible to the naked eye, the top of the small mountaintop had lost a large chunk, leaving a charred appearance.
"Impressive, indeed it's the True Sun Fire, isn't it? In just the blink of an eye, a small mountaintop has been burned away. Such overbearing power is truly terrifying!"
Looking at the destroyed mountaintop not far away, Jiang Liu inwardly marveled, isn't this the True Sun Fire that legend says only the royal bloodline of the Demon Clan, the Three-legged Golden Crow, could manipulate?
Hu hu hu!
Jiang Liu waved his hand, and the True Sun Fire moved at his will, launching an attack with the ease of moving his limbs.
The overbearing flames gave the sensation of being overwhelmingly powerful, making it seem as if nothing could withstand the force of the True Sun Fire.
"Very strong, the power of this True Sun Fire doesn't seem to be affected by my lower cultivation level or attack power!" After thorough testing, Jiang Liu realized that the attack power of the True Sun Fire in his hands was the same as when wielded by Red Boy.
This kind of power, able to turn everything into ashes with a mere wave of his hand, made Jiang Liu somewhat obsessed.
Is this the power that comes with the realm of a Taiyi True Immortal? Is this the most overbearing and unparalleled True Sun Fire in the heavens and earth?
Exchanging skills with the Double Fish Jade Pendant was not merely a simple skill swap; it also allowed both parties in the exchange to exhibit the effects that would ordinarily only manifest when used by the other, which made Jiang Liu nod in silent approval.
The efficacy of this Double Fish Jade Pendant was indeed very powerful, worthy of being a Divine Level Item that could only be used once a day.
Just like the Somersault Cloud, if one exchanged for it, simply using it oneself would definitely not achieve Sun Wukong's feat of crossing eighty-one thousand miles in one somersault.
However, if the skill were to be used as Sun Wukong does, then my speed would be the same as Sun Wukong's!
"So, to some extent, skills acquired through exchange can temporarily grant me the other party's power, right? Divine Level Items are indeed Divine Level!" Realizing the true strength of the Double Fish Jade Pendant, Jiang Liu nodded to himself, acknowledging that the pendant's effect was truly worthy of being a Divine Level Item.
"What if I exchange for Wukong's Law of Heaven and Earth in the future? With my power, I should be enough to face a Taiyi True Immortal realm powerhouse alone, right? A duration of 300 seconds? 5 minutes? It's a bit short, but it's still pretty good!"
Setting aside Jiang Liu's deliberations after having controlled the power of the True Sun Fire, the 5 minutes passed by swiftly.
As the exchange time elapsed, the True Sun Fire in Jiang Liu's hands returned to Red Boy, and likewise, the skill of Fiery Slash reemerged at the forefront of Jiang Liu's mind.
It was as if a forgotten ability had finally been remembered.
Not long after, out of the void, Master Zhenyuan descended, his aura disheveled, with about a third of his health bar missing from his head, looking very ragged.
"Elder brother, how did it go?" Taking a look at Master Zhenyuan's health bar situation, Jiang Liu stretched out his hand and cast a Guanyin Mantra on Master Zhenyuan.
However, the Guanyin Mantra skill didn't work, and Master Zhenyuan's health bar didn't increase.
"Quasi-Saint Level, having begun to grasp the Laws, not only are control-type skills like Silencing Zen ineffective, but even healing-type methods like the Guanyin Mantra won't work either?" Seeing this, Jiang Liu's expression turned somewhat ugly.
Are these skills ineffective against Quasi-Saints? Or is it that my level needs to rise above level 91 and enter the Quasi-Saint Level for them to be effective?
"This battle can be considered a draw. Kunpeng left with injuries, and Tathagata and I are both wounded. Tathagata has already returned to the Great Thunder Monastery!" Not feeling the effect of the Guanyin Mantra, Master Zhenyuan was unaware that Jiang Liu had cast a skill on him. In response to Jiang Liu's inquiry, he answered.
"Elder brother, you're also injured. Drink this potion first!"
This was the first time Jiang Liu had cast the Guanyin Mantra on a Quasi-Saint and it had no effect, which secretly alarmed him. However, after suppressing his shock, Jiang Liu then took out a Healing Potion and offered it to Master Zhenyuan to try, to see if the potion would work.
