Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 658 - 652 Attraction of the Same Origin, Dividing Press Bizarre Demons_1

Complete Cryptids are also an incomplete form. These are merely Spirit-level Strange Creatures; above them, are there Void-level Strange Creatures?

Jia Ren thought of his journey to Daqian Kingdom and the subsequent pursuit to the Desolate Legacy Land in search of the Giant Force Apparition that belonged to his own heart. This is capable of moving through the Void, so this should also be a Void-level Strange Creature.

The Daqian National Master used the power of two Immortal Treasures to seal it, indicating that the Giant Force Apparition’s strength had not yet reached an unmanageable level. However, this is a Bizarre Demon with a physical deficiency, not a complete form, yet it possesses strength far surpassing an average Complete Cryptid. Once it becomes whole, its power would undoubtedly become even more terrifying.

Among Bizarre Demons that wander the Void, there must also be distinctions in strength. The more of its own kind a Void-level Strange Creature devours, the stronger it becomes. The Void-level Strange Creature that destroyed the Wushan Realm must be among the pinnacle of its kind, a terrifying existence beyond my ability to handle.

Jia Ren listened quietly to Luo Zongqi’s words, filling in his understanding of the world. The Mysterious Realm is complacent in its isolation, with few daring to explore the Void. Their strength, resources, and awareness of the outside world are far too shallow compared to cultivators from the Wushan Realm. Even though I’ve been to the Cultivation World where the Daqian Kingdom is located, the problems there are even more severe than in the Mysterious Realm—Mahayana Stage Cultivators don’t even have the opportunity to enter the Void. This is the first time I’m learning about such a vast world.

"Thank you, Daoist friend, for the information."

This information held immense value for him, comparable to a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

"Void-level Strange Creatures are too powerful; few in the Cultivation World can contend with them. In the Cultivation Worlds I am aware of, four or five have been destroyed. If this continues, where will humanity find fertile ground to sustain life? You might be an exception... I tell you this information in the hope that one day, should you truly possess the strength to deal with Void-level Strange Creatures, you must seal them away."

Jia Ren possessed astonishing combat prowess, along with the abilities of the Divine Bird Phoenix and Mimicry Divine Beast. When he reached the Mahayana Stage, perhaps... there might be a glimmer of hope that he could confront a Void-level Strange Creature. Although it was a slim hope, it was the only chance Luo Zongqi saw.

"After the Bizarre Demons break their seals, they must be sealed away quickly. Otherwise, once a Void-level Strange Creature senses the presence of a power of the same origin in this world, it will surely come here."

Luo Zongqi’s second piece of information was crucial, causing Jia Ren’s expression to subtly change. No one knew what kinds of Void-level Strange Creatures existed, or whether the escaped Bizarre Demons possessed powers that shared an origin with them. Allowing such Bizarre Demons to exist was a hidden danger. Once powerful Void-level Strange Creatures crossed the Void to arrive, there would be no chance for redemption; the Mysterious Realm, too, would face a world-shattering fate.

"These are the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures I promised you!"

A Black Pot and a Silver Light Sphere flew out from the Yuxu Flying Boat, landing in front of Jia Ren. These were the two Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures promised by the Wushan Alliance.

The cultivators behind him wanted to speak up and stop him, but ultimately, they were too late. They feared Jia Ren would not keep his word, taking the treasures and then turning on them. Giving him one Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure now and the second after the Jade Void Divine Boat departs wouldn’t be too late.

How could Luo Zongqi not have considered this? But... who could escape from someone with a Golden-Winged Peng Bird at his disposal? Moreover, Jia Ren also possessed means to track them. The Jade Void Divine Boat trying to outpace the Golden-Winged Peng Bird? Even if they were to flee a month ahead, they might not escape his clutches. Compared to that scenario, it was better to show sincerity. Bringing out the treasures sooner would avoid Jia Ren developing any resentment and lessen his hostility towards the Wushan Alliance.

"The Black Pot is called the Xuantian Stone Spirit Pot. The Xuan Stone Sand within it has a petrifying effect, petrifying both tangible and intangible objects, and this petrification will last for all eternity. The silver sphere is known as the Mysterious Xuan Primordial Pearl. Its Mysterious Xuan Primordial Liquid can change into myriad forms, suitable for attack and defense. This item particularly excels at mimicking protective treasures and absorbing damage."

Both Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures were of good quality and considerable value. Among the nine revealed Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, these were also considered good items.

Jia Ren made no show of politeness and reached out to take the two treasures.

"I would also like to ask the Wushan Alliance for the refinement method of the Jade Void Divine Boat?"

Knowing that there were powerful creatures capable of traversing the Void and destroying Cultivation Worlds, no one could guarantee they wouldn’t encounter such a being one day. If he could wander the Void, there was still hope for escape, but others did not have this ability. Moreover, the Mysterious Realm would inevitably set out to explore the Void; it was best to be prepared for any eventuality. The Lingbao Sect was currently researching void-faring flying boats, but how could their initial efforts compare to the current Jade Void Divine Boat? The Jade Void Divine Boat’s ability to turn ethereal was a life-saving skill. If not for his countermeasures, they would have long since fled.

The onlookers’ expressions darkened. This man was pushing his luck, insatiable in his greed. Regrettably, with their enemy strong and themselves weak, they dared not express their anger, only feel it.

"The refinement method for the Jade Void Divine Boat will be given to you, Daoist friend!" Luo Zongqi raised his hand, tossing a Jade Slip into the Void in the same manner.

Although the refinement method for the Jade Void Divine Boat was precious, the materials required for its creation were even more costly; ordinary Cultivation Worlds could not gather the resources needed for its refinement. The Wushan Realm scoured various Cultivation Worlds for resources. Even at its peak, it only managed to refine three such vessels. Today, this was the sole surviving Jade Void Divine Boat. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Jia Ren reached out and drew the Jade Slip into his palm, scanning it carefully. After a moment, his expression shifted slightly. This was because refining the Jade Void Divine Boat required as many as twenty types of Heavenly Spirit Materials, each incredibly precious. Several of these Heavenly Spirit Materials had never even appeared in the Mysterious Realm, making its refinement an impossible task. The Jade Void Divine Boat must not be the first-generation version crafted by the Wushan Realm; this is the most perfect Flying Boat. Compared to it, the Mysterious Realm has not even started. When compared to the Wushan Realm, there is indeed a huge generational gap.

Jia Ren put away the Jade Slip, his gaze sweeping over the Jade Void Divine Boat. This gesture made the hearts of the Wushan Realm cultivators flutter with anxiety, fearing Jia Ren would disregard martial decorum and demand the Jade Void Divine Boat itself. In the hearts of the Wushan Realm cultivators, this vessel held a status even higher than a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. If he were to do so, a great war would become unavoidable.

"I wish all of you from the Wushan Realm a safe journey!" Jia Ren had obtained satisfying gains and estimated that he did not have much time left, so he did not linger even for a moment. His golden wings flapped behind him, and in the next instant, he vanished from sight.

Did he truly leave? Everyone was anxious and on tenterhooks, afraid the golden wings might strike at any moment.

A tri-colored radiance enveloped the Jade Void Divine Boat. Its hull turned ethereal once more before finally vanishing completely.

A terrifying giant emerged from the spatial black hole in front of the Shenxiao Sect, one hand grasping a Phoenix, hurrying toward the Lingbao Sect. The thirty-thousand-foot Phoenix, already a colossal creature, looked like a mere chick in the giant’s grasp. He crossed tens of thousands of miles in an instant. As he neared the Lingbao Sect, he reverted to his original appearance.

Instantly, an unprecedented sensation of weakness assailed him. This wasn’t a side effect of using Dual Law Manifests Heaven and Earth. It was purely because his previous power had been too immense; the stark contrast between his human form and that immense power created this sensation of profound weakness.

"We welcome the Grand Elder’s return!"

Seeing Jia Ren return, the Lingbao Sect cultivators finally felt a wave of relief wash over them. These visitors from another world, capable of traversing the Void to reach them, clearly possessed exceptional strength. The few cultivators with the keenest senses faintly perceived that the opposing group had no fewer than ten Mahayana Stage Cultivators. Jia Ren’s solitary departure had naturally been a cause for concern. Fortunately, he had returned safely.

"We should talk in detail." Tian Lingzi and several high-ranking members of the Lingbao Sect immediately led Jia Ren to convene a sect meeting. They were eager to learn what had transpired during Jia Ren’s encounter. Whether the outcome was conflict or concord, it directly concerned the fate of the Lingbao Sect.

They entered the Hall of Lingbao, and a privacy Formation was activated to prevent any information from leaking.

"I had a most delightful conversation with the cultivators from the Wushan Alliance," Jia Ren began. "Before they departed, they gifted me treasures and the refinement method for a Divine Vessel capable of void travel. Afterward, they decided to seek development in other Cultivation Worlds."

The High-level Elders of Lingbao Sect were bewildered. The disparity in strength was too great; they found it hard to believe in a friendly coexistence. If Jia Ren had exchanged the Phoenix for the treasures and the Divine Vessel refinement method, that would have been understandable. The problem was, the Phoenix had returned with Jia Ren; it hadn’t been bartered away. The Lingbao Sect was in a precarious situation, an easy target. The visitors from the Void were clearly formidable. How could they possibly bestow gifts and treasures so generously? Could it be that Jia Ren had killed them all?! That seemed like the closest answer to the truth...

"Let’s not talk about this for now," Jia Ren continued, "The most pressing matter is to quickly segment the Bizarre Demons and Suppress the Mysterious Monsters. Afterwards, I need to go and seal other Bizarre Demons."

Jia Ren didn’t waste much time explaining about the visitors from the Void, nor did he immediately present the refinement method for the Jade Void Divine Boat. These were not the most pressing concerns. The Bizarre Demon issue wasn’t truly resolved, merely suppressed for the time being. The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower was under immense strain, an immediate and pressing problem. Other unsealed Bizarre Demons could attract Void-level Strange Creatures at any moment, posing a latent threat. It was best to deal with them as quickly as possible, and only then consider refining the Jade Void Divine Boat or finding alternative solutions.

Tian Lingzi and Ancestor Jikong wore grave expressions as they, along with the other high-ranking members, hurried towards Suppressing Evil Peak. The Phoenix had not yet dispersed its form and remained perched atop Suppressing Evil Peak, drawing numerous gazes.

"The fastest way to segment Complete Cryptids is with the Profound Heavenly Soul-Cutting Sword; this sword can divide Bizarre Demons," one of them said. "For now, we can only employ other methods. The Evil-Suppressing Peak Severance Forbidden Formation also has the effect of dividing Bizarre Demons. However, it would take between three to five years to segment just one Complete Cryptid."

Three to five years to segment one Complete Cryptid? If there was only one Complete Cryptid, it would be acceptable. But the number of Complete Form Bizarre Persons sealed in the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower exceeds twenty. Segmenting them alone would take nearly a century. Outside the Lingbao Sect, there are still Complete Cryptids; the amount of time spent on sealing and segmenting them is too great... Void-level Strange Creatures were like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment. Prolonging this process would significantly increase the risk of their arrival.

"Is there a way to speed up the process?" Jia Ren asked.

Not to mention he didn’t have that much time, the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower could hardly bear the strain of sealing so many Bizarre Demons for such an extended period. They had to accelerate the segmentation of Bizarre Demons; time was of the essence.

"If the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda is used to empower the main formation, efficiency could increase tenfold. However, without it presiding, the Breath of Stars Barrier’s ability to Suppress the Mysterious Monsters would diminish, and accidents could easily occur when dividing and suppressing the Bizarre Demons. Unless another suitable Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure could be found, there was no way to reduce the time needed to divide and suppress the Bizarre Demons."
