Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 344: Method of invasion

Once Duke Yu had been executed, there really was nothing left here to show.

Since it was all over, I knew that Bing Xin would want some time with her mother to let this all sink in.

So we let her bring her back to the courtyard that the Roaring Tiger Emperor had given us during this time.

This courtyard was one that was right by the palace and was in a luxurious position, but it was also far away from Duke Yu and the Shan Family Manor.

This was the best place for them to accept what happened and to move on.

During that time, I once again sealed myself off since there was something that I had to take a closer look at.

It was something that I had been shocked to find since I never expected to find such a thing, but here it was in front of me.

It was the token that the Shan Family had treated as a treasure.

This was the thing that had caught my attention during the execution just now, but I hadn’t been able to say anything because of the situation. It was only now that I was able to take a closer look at this thing.

The shocking thing about this token was...that it actually caused a system notification to appear.

It was an automatic system notification, but it was a system notification nonetheless.

This system notification was one that indicated that I had found a method of invasion from an upper realm.

I didn’t understand how this token could be used as a method of invasion by an upper realm, even if there was a strange feeling that came from it. The strange feeling that came from this was similar to the flower and demonic creature that I fought before, but it was also different.

So at least I was able to confirm that this was indeed a thing from an upper realm.

At the same time, it seemed like it wasn’t just any normal thing.

But I still couldn’t see how it could be used by an upper realm to invade.

When I didn’t understand something, there was no need for me to agonize over it since there was a better choice. There was a living encyclopedia that I could consult after all.

I asked the system, "How can this be used as a method of invasion?"

The system was silent for a bit before suddenly saying, "There’s a trace of spatial laws in this token. It is very faint, so it isn’t likely that it’ll activate, but if there’s enough spiritual energy or other forms of energy fed into this token, there’s the chance that it will activate."

I couldn’t help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.

It reminded me of another thing that had been done to summon an invader from an upper realm.

The sacrifices that had been used to summon the demonic creature...that should count as another form of energy, right?

It was blood energy, or rather life energy that was used to feed whatever was used to summon the demonic creature. So if there were enough sacrifices, did that mean that there would be another demonic creature summoned from this.

"No, this token will not summon a demon." The system suddenly said, cutting through my thoughts.

I was caught off guard when I heard this before asking the system, "Does that mean that you already know which realm this is connected to?"

The system remained silent this time.

It seemed that the system did know, but it wasn’t willing to tell me for some reason...

I couldn’t guess what the reason was, but I’m sure that the system had its reason for not telling me.

Well, the main thing was that it didn’t matter what the reason was since I was planning on destroying the token in the first place. Since it was a method of invasion, it was best to destroy this token as soon as possible so that nothing happened.

Only...

"How do I destroy this thing?" I asked the system.

In response to this, there was a notification that appeared in front of my face.

"Do you wish to destroy this token?"

"Yes."

"No."

I never thought that such a notification would appear in front of me and there was a strange feeling that filled me seeing this, but the system was silent the whole time, showing that it was serious about this.

So in the end, I reached my hand out and tapped on the yes button.

The moment that I made contact with that button, there was this golden energy that appeared.

This golden energy appeared in front of me at first, but then it suddenly went down towards the token that I was holding. This golden energy quickly entered the token and then it suddenly started to shatter.

In no time at all, the token shattered to pieces, not leaving a single trace behind.

At the same time...

"Congratulations on preventing an invasion of this lower realm by an upper realm. A reward has been released."

When I looked in my inventory, it didn’t seem like anything had changed at first.

But then when I looked more closely, I found that there was indeed a change.

It was the reward that I had received last time for taking care of that demonic creature.

Fragment of Ancient Realm Map 2/8.

There was a new fragment that appeared in my inventory after I destroyed this token...

Well, after the system destroyed the token.

But that made me feel very strange and confused.

It didn’t count if the defense system destroyed the invader, but it counted if I had the system destroy the token for me.

I really didn’t understand what the rules were...

Before I could question the system about this...

"Host, there is an important decision that the host has to make right now."

"Huh?" I was completely caught off guard by the system’s sudden words, but that wasn’t all the shock that it had for me yet.
