I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds-Chapter 92 - 91: One Year Later, the Grand Celestial Sacrifice

Chapter 92: Chapter 91: One Year Later, the Grand Celestial Sacrifice

Wang Xiao held the Purifying Evil Talisman and sat cross-legged in a corridor on the First Layer, waiting quietly.

He didn’t bother looking for a place to hide.

After all, the Demon Fiends and ghosts on the second floor were basically all Tier Two Life forms.

With his current strength, combined with the Purifying Evil Talisman, he had more than enough power to handle them.

In fact, he could even devour the flesh and blood of these higher-tier Demon Fiends and ghosts to restore his strength even faster!

Wang Xiao had now cultivated to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm. His Inner Qi Network covered his entire body, and his physique was several times stronger than before.

Correspondingly, this body now had higher requirements for demon flesh.

The flesh of Low Tier demons had a negligible effect on his Cultivation.

’That Elder Celestial Master probably has a way to observe what’s happening inside the Exorcism Tower. He might have already noticed that something is off about me.’

Wang Xiao exhaled, thinking to himself.

There was nothing to be done about it.

If he wanted to live, he would inevitably have to expose his Talent and strength.

Fortunately, his current body was special—it was that of a Ghost Infant.

As long as he didn’t display an overly extraordinary level of intelligence, the Elder Celestial Master and the others probably wouldn’t suspect, for now, that the soul inside this Ghost Infant’s body came from an Otherworld.

After all, it had been over a hundred thousand years since the Underworld’s cycle of Reincarnation was established.

Even if a Dao Realm Cultivator died, their soul would have to start over after being reincarnated.

It was impossible to retain the memories and Cultivation of a past life!

This was the fairness of the Underworld.

No matter how high your Cultivation was in life, if you wanted to be reborn as a human after Death, you had to pass through the Reincarnation Pool and have your mortal memories and Cultivation washed away!

Of course, the higher one’s Cultivation and the stronger their Divine Soul, the better their chances of securing a position in the Underworld.

Or be enfeoffed by the Great Hao Divine Dynasty and become a City God.

At the very least, after Reincarnation, one could be reborn into a wealthy family.

If their fortune was a bit better, they might even be able to set foot on the path of Cultivation again.

This was why everyone in this part of Heaven and Earth wanted to cultivate.

For this life, and to gamble for a better next one!

’However, if the Elder Celestial Master knows I can cultivate and still hasn’t gotten me out, he’s most likely wary of my identity, or he has other plans.’

Wang Xiao knew that Dragon Tiger Mountain was not as monolithic as it appeared on the surface.

The sect was divided into two factions.

The Pro-Emperor Faction and the Anti-Emperor Faction.

The Pro-Emperor Faction advocated for maintaining good relations with the Great Hao Divine Dynasty, hoping to use the Court’s power to make Dragon Tiger Mountain the leading force in Yangzhou and reap more benefits.

Therefore, the Pro-Emperor Faction strictly enforced and abided by the Court’s orders and laws.

The Anti-Emperor Faction, however, felt it was unwise to get too close to the Great Hao Divine Dynasty, lest they become puppets of the Court.

After all, if they were constrained and controlled by the Court, the amount of Incense they received would dwindle.

Sooner or later, Dragon Tiger Mountain would be completely consumed by the Court.

The two sides had been secretly competing, neither willing to yield.

Shou Chengzi, for example, was a member of the Anti-Emperor Faction.

The one who had previously opposed Shou Chengzi taking Wang Xiao into the sect was a member of the Pro-Emperor Faction.

As the Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhang Lingxiao naturally had to maintain the balance between the two factions.

That was why he had chosen a compromise.

He would neither kill Wang Xiao nor accept him, instead imprisoning him in the Exorcism Tower.

He left Wang Xiao to fend for himself.

At the same time, he didn’t stop Shou Chengzi from secretly giving Wang Xiao the Purifying Evil Talisman.

It was a way of placating both sides.

’So, from start to finish, I’ve just been a pawn in the struggle between the two factions.’

Wang Xiao considered himself someone who repaid his debts of gratitude.

In his two transmigrations, whether it was the Sword Sect in his first life or the Wuxiang Temple in his second, after he became powerful, he had repaid them twofold.

He had made the former the greatest sect in the world, and the latter a Martial Arts Sacred Land.

However, while Wang Xiao repaid kindness, he also always avenged his grievances!

Although he had gained tangible benefits from entering the Exorcism Tower, when he got out, he would naturally have to settle the score with those who put him here.

Of course, now was not the time. He had to lie low and rapidly increase his strength first.

After all, the Elder Celestial Master, Zhang Lingxiao, was at the Saint Realm, just below the Dao Realm.

Below him, there were also Tribulation Crossing Zhenrens and Lifebound High-level Practitioners, none of whom were to be trifled with.

Even if he recovered his full strength, he might not be their match!

He would have to make a long-term plan.

Just as Wang Xiao was lost in thought, heavy footsteps suddenly echoed from the hall on the First Layer.

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

Immediately after, a coarse, booming voice suddenly rang out.

"Where’s my food? Your Dog Grandpa is starving! Get out here and let Your Dog Grandpa have a snack!"

"Idiot, shut up! You’ve scared all the food away!"

"What, you got a problem with that? Wanna fight Your Dog Grandpa?!"

"Get lost! We only have a short time, I can’t be bothered with you!"

THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP—

As the footsteps grew louder, agonized wails soon echoed from the hall on the First Layer.

It seemed the demons that had been hiding had been found!

After all, there were quite a few Demon Ghosts on the First Layer, and Wang Xiao still needed their flesh and blood for his Cultivation, so he couldn’t have killed them all at once.

"Such a thick smell of blood! There must be a lot of food hidden here."

Soon, Wang Xiao heard chaotic footsteps drawing closer, accompanied by the bloodthirsty howls of those demons.

The next moment, several monsters with the heads of dogs and the bodies of men charged out from around the corner, some even clutching thick bone clubs!

Their auras were savage, a cut above the Pig Demon and the other demons Wang Xiao had encountered earlier.

They had clearly come down from the second floor of the Exorcism Tower!

"Huh? Why is it a baby? What a rich, meaty aroma! What did this baby eat to grow up? It smells so damn good!"

"I’m going to eat this baby’s brains and limbs! Don’t you dare fight me for it!"

"Who the hell do you think you are? He’s mine."

Although these few demons also found it strange that a harmless-looking baby would suddenly appear on the First Layer of the Exorcism Tower, their hunger for food overwhelmed their reason.

They cast their doubts aside and charged headlong toward Wang Xiao.

However, just as they attacked Wang Xiao!

HUM!

The Purifying Evil Talisman emitted several rays of white light, blasting the demons to pieces.

Wang Xiao didn’t even have to lift a finger.

Of course, even if he were to fight, Wang Xiao couldn’t use any Martial Arts; he could only rely on his formidable physical body to crush them.

After all, Zhang Lingxiao was most likely watching him right now.

If Zhang Lingxiao discovered him using Martial Arts that didn’t exist in this world, it would very likely arouse his suspicion. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

But if he only used his physical body to fight the demons, he could attribute his increase in strength to the special nature of his Ghost Infant body.

That way, even if Zhang Lingxiao was curious, he would just think it was a natural Talent of the Ghost Infant.

He wouldn’t consider that he was actually sentient and had mastered a Cultivation Technique.

After all, if Zhang Lingxiao discovered he was sentient, he would most likely eliminate him early on to prevent nurturing a future threat!

’Still, since Zhang Lingxiao hasn’t stopped me from devouring flesh and blood, it means he tacitly approves of my actions. In that case, I have nothing to worry about!’

Wang Xiao planned to use the demon flesh inside the Exorcism Tower to advance to the Refining Acupoints Human Immortal Demon Realm over the next year, which was equivalent to a Tier Four Life form.

Otherwise, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Finding this many demons outside would not be an easy task.

Without thinking any further, Wang Xiao continued to devour and refine the flesh and blood on the ground.

Sure enough, as the quality of the flesh improved, his Cultivation speed increased again!

After refining all the flesh and blood, Wang Xiao continued to sit on the ground, waiting for more demons to walk right into his trap.

Unfortunately, after the Purifying Evil Talisman killed six or seven demons, the others noticed something was wrong and no longer dared to approach.

Wang Xiao could only follow these demons to the second floor of the Exorcism Tower.

Except this time, it was Wang Xiao’s turn to be the hunter!

「In the days that followed.」

Wang Xiao began to constantly devour and refine demon flesh to increase his strength.

「A month later.」

Wang Xiao reached the third floor of the Exorcism Tower.

The good news was that after clearing out the demons on this floor, he successfully refined his Five Viscera and broke through to become a Tier Three Life form.

The bad news was that the Magical Power within the Purifying Evil Talisman had finally been depleted, and it no longer worked.

’Fortunately, with my current strength, I don’t need to rely on the Purifying Evil Talisman anymore. I can smash these demons to bits with my physical body alone!’

After resting and recovering, Wang Xiao headed toward the higher floors of the Exorcism Tower.

「In the blink of an eye, a year went by.」

Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Grand Celestial Sacrifice, held once every thirty years, was also fast approaching.

Representatives from the various sects and schools within the Ten Directions Jungle had already been arriving on the mountain one after another.

At this moment, in a small courtyard, Zhang Lingxiao stared at the image within the Profound Light Mirror, an inexplicable light flickering in his eyes.

A moment later, he put away the Profound Light Mirror and looked at Shou Chengzi, who was standing beside him:

"Junior Brother, the year is up. Go and bring the Ghost Infant out."
