Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 705 - 699 Promotion to True Spirit, Sky Treasure Blood_1

Chapter 705: Chapter 699 Promotion to True Spirit, Sky Treasure Blood_1

Time passed, seasons changed, and a thousand years quietly slipped away.

The population of Red Fruit Green Fish steadily grew, the numbers swiftly increasing.

With a continuous supply of Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills, their foundation gradually deepened, their blood akin to celestial nectar and exquisite wine.

Jia Ren’s physique improved even further, qualifying him well above the lowest ranks among body refinement immortals in the Immortal Realm.

Back then, the fall of Kun Yuan’s left wing and Kunpeng Blood in the Cloud Realm Sea caused a great commotion, a single drop strong enough to make magical beasts explode and perish.

Now, his physique far exceeded that of Kun Yuan, a drop of his blood comparable to the topmost treasures between heaven and earth.

As the number of Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills increased, at first, they could only be used by himself, but later there was enough to supply other Divine Beasts.

To increase efficiency, Jia Ren specifically modified the Alchemy Recipe of the Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills for Divine Beasts to ensure the maximization of medicinal effects.

The Golden-Winged Peng Bird, Jin Sheng, Mo Lin, Feng Wu, and Zhu Yan successively reached maturity.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body evolved to accommodate the essence blood of mature Divine Beasts, enhancing the transformed state even further.

Of course, this was just the beginning.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body reached a Technique-Nearing-Dao Level, capable of turning decay into magic.

The essence blood of mature Divine Beasts followed him in breaking limits, elevating to a True Spirit Level.

Using the Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills for accumulation, the Divine Beasts’ promotion to True Spirit would be smooth sailing.

Besides aiding the Divine Beasts in their promotion to True Spirit, Jia Ren began trying to enhance the quality of Divine Beast materials.

Using Golden Crow Fire to improve the quality of Golden Crow Feathers.

Not long after integrating Golden Crow Blood into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body, it evolved further, ascending to the rank of True Spirit Blood.

Although the quality was not inferior to Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Materials, it still fell short of the requirements.

The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower would be refined again, attempting to elevate to a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

Even if the elevation failed, the quality of the materials affected the potential of the Lifebound Spirit Treasure.

If the materials from Phoenix and Vermilion Bird reached True Spirit Level, Golden Crow Feathers would instead become the weak link.

Jia Ren had plenty of free time and was determined to do his best.

Nurturing the Golden Crow Feathers with True Spirit Blood, he aimed to cultivate them into True Spirit Feathers.

Since Golden Crow Blood and Golden Crow Feathers shared the same origin, nourishing the material with blood posed no issue, albeit the process was slow.

After all, he was not a true Golden Crow.

But with plenty of time, he could calmly nourish them.

Sometime later, the Gold-Winged Great Peng Bird Avatar became the first to ascend to True Spirit, becoming his most powerful clone.

After devouring a mature Golden-Winged Peng Bird, it outstripped the competition, far surpassing the other Divine Beasts.

Divine Beasts like Jin Sheng had shallow foundations, but with the aid of Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills, it would take only a few hundred to a thousand years to fulfill their accumulation.

Jia Ren went into secluded meditation. Within his Dantian, a divine sun emitting a faint red glow appeared.

The divine sun transformed, becoming a dark and profound black hole capable of devouring everything.

This miraculous and mysterious transformation occurred within a thought.

The Sunlight Divine Wheel Sutra had broken its limits, absorbing the features of the Divine Treasure Heavenly Phenomena Technique and the Mystery Divine Cave Mystic Scripture, and became even more mystical.

The divine sun illuminated the world, but it could also become a black hole that devoured Divine Souls and mimic the treasured items he had seen in his life, with unimaginable effects.

All phenomena between heaven and earth were subject to change.

It could no longer be called the Sunlight Divine Wheel Sutra, but the Divine Illumination of All Phenomena Sutra.

Both Divine Soul and Body Refinement had progressed, but his cultivation level remained at the Mahayana Late Stage without further advancement.

Otherwise, he would have ascended to the Immortal Realm amidst the rosy clouds.

The Lingbao Sect was developing well, a unique existence within the Mysterious Realm, requiring no worrying or interference from him.

The only ones worth noting were Ancestor Ji Kong and Wang Fugui.

Thanks to the Golden Scale Wind-Riding Technique, Wang Fugui’s cultivation level had made strides with Jia Ren’s progress, surpassing Ancestor Ji Kong in one fell swoop to reach the Integrating Body Late Stage.

As Jia Ren’s cultivation level plateaued, Wang Fugui, who was not fond of cultivating, was finally overtaken by Ancestor Ji Kong.

Now, he was on the cusp of advancing to the Mahayana Realm.

"Master, this is the promotion gift I’ve prepared for you!"

When Jia Ren emerged from seclusion, he presented various treasures for advancing to the Mahayana Realm, even more substantial than those Tian Lingzi might offer.

The additional chance of advancing to the Mahayana Realm could reach seventy percent.

The Nine Heavens Star Luo Formation prevented premature Heavenly Tribulations and increased the odds of advancement.

Provided Ancestor Ji Kong wasn’t extremely unlucky and encountered special Heavenly Tribulations, he would have a ninety percent chance of advancing to the Mahayana Realm.

This gift was considered exceedingly generous—few in all the lands could afford to give such a gift.

When Jia Ren had advanced to the Lianxu Stage, his master had given him elixirs and treasures, as well as his protection.

He engraved the grace of a droplet of water on his heart, determined to repay it a thousandfold.

"Good disciple!"

"Indeed, you are my disciple, Jikong!"

Ancestor Ji Kong was greatly comforted and proud of this gift, adding to his prestige.

With such a disciple, what more could one ask for!

"Ji Kong, I heard you almost turned away the Grand Elder from your door."

As usual, Ancestor Ji Kong boasted in front of his arch-rival, who, green with envy, could not resist digging up his old dirt.

Once this news leaks out, Ancestor Ji Kong will certainly become the butt of others’ jokes.

"Don’t talk nonsense! I did not!"

Ancestor Ji Kong was grateful he had accepted Jia Ren. Otherwise, missing out on the opportunity and having to face the mockery of his old rival, he would have been slapping his own face in regret.

...

"I have finally reached the Mahayana Realm!"

Inside the Breath of Stars Barrier, Ma Tianbao gazed at the sky where clouds of tribulation had formed, unable to conceal his excitement.

All this time, he had seen Jia Ren as his goal to catch up to and surpass, not allowing himself any complacency in his cultivation.

As Tian Lingzi ascended to the Mahayana Realm and gradually transferred authority to him, Ma Tianbao, in charge of the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda, made rapid progress in his cultivation.

With no major incidents occurring in the Lingbao Sect and no need to worry about mundane affairs, he could devote himself entirely to cultivation.

His 2,000 years of effort finally led to the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation today.

"I want this heaven to no longer obscure my sight!"

Ma Tianbao gazed at the tribulation clouds with boundless pride swelling in his heart.

The Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda flew out, blooming with a cyan radiance.

The vast expanse of falling thunderous light was annihilated, unable to harm it in the slightest.

Ma Tianbao easily overcame the first three lightning calamities, but the fourth thunder calamity underwent a qualitative change, as the Purple Sky Divine Thunder transformed into Divine Beasts.

The power of the thunder tribulation was far beyond what had come before.

Still, compared to the magical beast simulacrum from over 2,500 years ago, it was ten times weaker.

Even so, he felt the strain and could only use the power of stasis to cope.

After the simulacrum Divine Beasts were frozen in stasis, he expended quite an effort to resolve them.

Ma Tianbao knew of Jia Ren’s strength but had no concrete concept of it. At this moment, he finally felt the stark difference between them.

The fifth and sixth Divine Beast simulacrum thunder calamities followed one after another, each stronger than the last.

Protected by the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda and with some close calls, he finally passed through the six-fold Heavenly Tribulation.

As for the Heavenly Demon Tribulation...

The Demon Lord of the Skies knew the location of the Heavenly Tribulation was the Lingbao Sect and never showed himself from beginning to end.

To be precise, not a single Demon Lord of the Skies dared to appear when Lingbao Sect Cultivators faced their Mahayana Thunder Tribulation.

This had been the case from the very beginning.

Overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation was far easier than I imagined!

This ease didn’t come out of nowhere.

The nature’s spiritual energy in the Mysterious Realm is rich, making it more likely to produce treasures capable of promoting ascension to the Mahayana Realm.

The Breath of Stars Barrier formed by the Nine Heavens Star Luo Formation allows us to concentrate on our cultivation without worrying about the tribulation arriving prematurely.

For more than 2,000 years, not a single Demon Lord has dared to descend upon the Mysterious Realm.

All of this can be attributed to Jia Ren’s achievements; it was he who brought convenience to the Lingbao Sect, making it easier for its cultivators to advance to the Mahayana Realm.

Even so, not every Mahayana Realm cultivator was capable of overcoming the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation.

Some failed to unite their body, spiritual power, and Divine Soul, forcibly integrating them and resulting in the dire fate of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

The Heavenly Tribulation consisted of more than just lightning. There were also the rare Fire Tribulation and Wind Tribulation.

Inner bodies burned by the Heart Fire Bizarre Lightning, Divine Souls swept away by the Nine Nether Sky Wind.

Even with the aid of treasures, only three or four out of ten succeeded in smoothly passing the tribulation.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your promotion to the Mahayana Realm!"

Tian Lingzi, Ancestor Ji Kong, Cloud Tiger, and several other familiar Mahayana Realm cultivators came out one after another to extend their congratulations.

"Truly the leading figure of our generation, the Heavenly Treasure Body is indeed extraordinary."

Jia Ren was older than Ma Tianbao by just a thousand years, which made them contemporaries. However, people had long since excluded him from the group of young talents, placing him in a category all his own as a monstrous genius.

Comparing oneself to him would surely damage one’s cultivation heart, wouldn’t it?

Ma Tianbao nodded in response, his eyes sweeping across the faces of each elder and peak master.

With the passing of old members, the Lingbao Sect also welcomed new ones taking their places, with the ranks of the elders growing and many new faces joining.

Ji Ning and Jue Wushuang were among them.

His gaze turned to Jia Ren in the deepest part, his smile beaming.

"I have finally ascended to the Mahayana Realm!"

"I’ve always wanted to give you the Sky Treasure Blood to refine the second Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure!"

Ma Tianbao was clear that the Heavenly Treasure Body existed because of Jia Ren. And now, it is time to repay him!

This wasn’t just Ma Tianbao’s thought. The high-level elders of the Lingbao Sect shared the same sentiment.

Without Jia Ren, the Lingbao Sect wouldn’t have experienced its current prosperity.

"I would not dare to decline such an offering."

Jia Ren indeed needed the Sky Treasure Blood to attempt the refinement of a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

His attempts at refining Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures had thus far been unsuccessful, and this afforded him his first taste of failure.

Without the Power of Laws, everything is illusory.

My only hope lies in the Sky Treasure Blood...

Although the prospect is bleak, it’s the best solution I can find.

A ball of resplendent golden blood was extracted from Ma Tianbao’s body, exuding an enigmatic force, with a hint of the aura of Law.

This was a substance that could only be nurtured once the Heavenly Treasure Body reached the Mahayana Realm.

In a way, it was quite similar to the Red Fruit Green Fish.

One concentrated the red fruit above their head, a special oddity of nature.

The other was the special Heavenly Treasure Body, whose precious blood could only be produced at the Mahayana Realm, possessing the miraculous effect of turning decay into magic.

Jia Ren peered at the Sky Treasure Blood, sensing the faint presence of Law within it, his eyes radiating with surprise.

The aura of Law!

Despite the faintness of this aura, it is indeed the rare Power of Laws!

With excitement written all over his face, Jia Ren gripped Ma Tianbao’s shoulders, eagerly asking, "Have you comprehended the Power of Laws?!"

This point is crucial!

Has the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth been restored?

The other Mahayana Realm cultivators also snapped back to reality, their faces filled with anticipation as they looked at Ma Tianbao.

After ascending to the Mahayana Realm, they gradually learned the secrets of the Immortal Realm.

The once longed-for Immortal Realm was no longer a pure land.

If it were otherwise, wouldn’t Grand Elder Jia have been qualified to ascend to the Immortal Realm long ago, rather than remaining here?

"I have not!"

Ma Tianbao was naturally gifted and had cut through the primordial Chaos.

Yet, he had not grasped the Power of Laws.

Upon hearing this, disappointment was evident on everyone’s faces.

Jia Ren speculated that this was either a unique power of the Sky Treasure Blood or a similar, partial restoration of the Dao.

In any case, it’s good news.

"Soon, I will attempt the refinement of a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure!"
