Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 747 - 741 Five Luo Daozang, Not a Match?_1

Chapter 747: Chapter 741 Five Luo Daozang, Not a Match?_1

The Southern Ming Separation Fire, possessing the Purification Power, could be called the fire of purification.

Each of the Nine Nefarious Flames possessed unique qualities, and their combined power was extremely formidable.

The continuous collisions between the Southern Ming Separation Fire and the Nine Nefarious Flames showed a clear difference in quality, with an outcome that shocked everyone.

The Nine Nefarious Flames lasted only a moment before suffering a complete defeat.

"Southern Ming Separation Fire?! True Spirit Vermilion Bird?!"

"Unexpectedly, fellow Daoist, you are proficient in the True Spirit transformation and possess inconceivable power."

"If, fellow Daoist, you wish to proceed further on the path of using strength to break through the Dao, joining our Ming Luo Hall would be the best option."

Yan Yuanwu’s eyes shone as he looked at the Vermilion Bird. "If, fellow Daoist, you are unwilling to join Ming Luo Hall, then I will have to use my fists to change your mind."

Jade-colored light flowed as the Power of Laws surged around Yan Yuanwu.

"Ming Luo Fire God Body!"

Yan Yuanwu suddenly transformed into a giant of flame. The Nine Nefarious Flames appeared as nine differently-colored fire beads, settling on his wrist.

"Incinerating Inferno Fist!"

With a punch, the whole firmament was ignited. A massive fist covered heaven and earth, turning into an Incinerating Inferno.

Before the fist even arrived, the terrifyingly high temperature assaulted them first.

The mere heat of the flame wave was enough to melt a Lower-grade Immortal Artifact.

Jia Ren felt unparalleled pressure. Was this the power of a Profound Immortal at the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm?

One punch incinerated the sky, setting everything ablaze.

However, Jia Ren did not sense any killing intent from this punch.

Jia Ren took a deep breath, also wanting to know the gap between himself and the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm.

"Triple Law of Heaven and Earth!"

His body expanded at an astonishing rate, instantly transforming into a Vermilion Bird with a wingspan of thirty thousand zhang, almost bursting the Formation of Ming Luo Hall.

The Formation held its own mysteries, opening up another Cave Heaven.

The space within Ming Luo Hall expanded rapidly, large enough to accommodate the colossal body of the Vermilion Bird.

"Heaven and Earth One Slash!"

The giant wings of the Vermilion Bird struck together, drawing in the pure white Southern Ming Separation Fire and channeling it all into the attack.

This was the first time the Heaven and Earth One Slash was unleashed in the form of a Vermilion Bird.

With a flap of its wings, a flash of red and white light appeared, lingering endlessly.

This strike had already torn apart space in the Immortal Realm.

The red and white blade radiance collided with the descending Incinerating Inferno Fist, silencing the entire world.

In distant palaces, numerous Immortals observed this battle, all showing expressions of shock.

The destructive power made them withdraw their spiritual awareness, their faces deathly pale.

Even though they were all Golden Immortals, the gap between them and Jia Ren was vast.

The fist of the Incinerating Giant vanished without a trace, as if sliced by a sharp blade. The cut showed no blood.

Pure white flames continuously collided with the Nine Nefarious Flames and then completely extinguished them.

In this battle, it seemed Yan Yuanwu of the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm was at a disadvantage.

Yan Yuanwu’s severed hand reconnected, appearing no different than before.

He bound his right fist behind his back, his voice calm. "Not bad. That strike had a bit of the style of the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm."

"However, the gap between you and a Supreme Jade Immortal is still immeasurably wide!"

The flames turned from black-red to completely crimson, and a pitch-black flame sword slowly formed in his palm.

The Power of Laws and the Profound Immortal underwent a strange transformation—flesh and blood coalesced into a Profound Immortal Artifact?

"It’s not too late to submit to Ming Luo Hall now."

The sword blade’s edge was sharp and distinct. The Power of Laws, manifesting as Infernal Flames, surged within the blade, about to unleash a world-destroying strike.

"Black Tortoise Form!"

Jia Ren did not respond. More precisely, action was the best answer.

His form transitioned from Vermilion Bird to Xuanwu—a combination of turtle and snake—its thick shell the most solid barrier.

A hazy gray light spread in all directions, and the White Lotus mark at the center of the shell grew more prominent.

"You’ve mastered other True Spirit transformations?!"

The sword blade flashed. In the next moment, it seemed to cut across space and strike down.

The Black Sword struck the thick shell heavily, emitting a grating sound. It was unable to shatter the shell, leaving only a sword mark several zhang deep.

Just then, as the White Lotus Rocking activated, a tremendous amount of Immortal Spiritual Power, along with the Xuan Snake’s head, vanished into Yan Yuanwu’s body.

He stood holding the Black Sword, his body stiffened in place, motionless for a long time.

"Fellow Daoist, your strength is impressive. There’s no need to fight any further."

"Although you’ve broken through two Mysterious Barriers, you have not opened the gateway to the Secret Repository."

"Please, fellow Daoist, take a look at this item."

Yan Yuanwu reverted from a fire giant to his normal form. A Jade Slip suddenly flew in front of Jia Ren, hovering silently in place without advancing further.

Jia Ren did not dispel his Black Tortoise Form. His purple-gold eyes remained fixed on the Jade Slip, carefully ensuring there were no issues before he allowed it to fall into his hand.

His expression shifted through countless changes, mixed with a sense of wistful loss.

The Jade Slip recorded information on the Secret Repositories related to using strength to break through the Dao.

The human body harbors Secret Repositories. Many beings never reach their limits in their lifetime, let alone break through the physical Mysterious Barriers to tap into the hidden power of these inner repositories.

The path of using strength to break through the Dao is long and obstructed. Human strength eventually reaches its limits, and few succeed on this path.

For those not talented enough, absorbing the Power of Laws into the body and achieving the Profound Immortal Dao Body is the best alternative.

Ming Luo Hall pursued two paths in parallel: the Profound Immortal path and the path of using strength to break through the Dao. Over ninety-nine percent of its members followed the Profound Immortal path.

The Great Dao bred anomalies, and the Dao transformed into the Dao Bizarre. Things were different from before.

The upper limits of cultivation were sealed, making progress arduous. Advancing on the Immortal Path became difficult, and the only alternative seemed to be the Bizarre Path.

Not all Immortals were willing to become mad and bizarre beings, their lives controlled by others.

The focus of Ming Luo Hall shifted from the Profound Immortal Path to the path of using strength to break through the Dao.

Alas, this threshold had not been lowered despite the anomalies in Heaven and Earth.

Ming Luo Hall recruited countless talents, but most were unremarkable. Breaking through the second Mysterious Barrier was out of their reach, let alone progressing far on this path.

This person has broken through two Mysterious Barriers without triggering the corresponding powers of the Secret Repositories. This proves that Jia Ren has no such inheritance backing him.

Such a fine piece of jade must not be missed.

Jia Ren examined the Jade Slip while remaining vigilant of Yan Yuanwu.

Yan Yuanwu did not make any further moves, his smile unchanged.

The information on the Secret Repositories recorded in the Jade Slip was incomplete, detailing only two of them.

Only by breaking the corresponding Mysterious Barrier could one qualify to activate the power of these Secret Repositories.

The first Mysterious Barrier corresponds to the Blood Repository.

Blood is the source of vital energy, akin to the True Qi of cultivation, circulating throughout the body, possessing endless hidden power.

Each drop of blood will develop its own consciousness, capable of regenerating the entire body from a single drop, and possessing inconceivable might.

The second Mysterious Barrier is known as the Bone Repository.

Bone is the body’s support structure and the source of its strength, the most solid and sharpest part of the physique.

Upon activating the power of the Bone Repository, punches and kicks carry its hidden power. This power can influence the Power of Laws, reaching the level of shattering Laws with strength.

One can only be considered to have truly embarked upon the path of using strength to break through the Dao after achieving the second limit break and invoking the power of the Bone Repository.

The Jade Slip did not record how to activate the Blood Repository and Bone Repository; no further information followed.

Jia Ren looked towards Yan Yuanwu, who still maintained his smile.

Without a doubt, the offered Jade Slip is only bait. The moment I show interest in it, I’m hooked.

"Would you be interested in joining Ming Luo Hall, fellow Daoist?"

"All cultivation techniques will be open to you, and you will become the chief of the Dao Treasury lineage. Should you achieve the third limit break, even the position of Lord of Ming Luo Hall could be yours."

Yan Yuanwu’s tone carried a seductive charm as he persuaded gently and skillfully.

To say I’m uninterested would be a lie.

Apart from Ming Luo Hall, where else could I find the methods to unlock the body’s Secret Repositories?

Such things simply can’t be purchased outside.

For instance, Immortal Path Sects like the Qianhuan Sect don’t have similar techniques for using strength to break through the Dao.

"I have no intention of joining Ming Luo Hall."

Who knows if joining Ming Luo Hall would make them covet my body, scheming to seize it for themselves?

I still have various Golden Immortal Techniques to collect. Staying in Ming Luo Hall isn’t a good choice.

"If Ming Luo Hall entrusts this method to me, I can owe Ming Luo Hall a favor. In the future, if I have the capability, I will certainly help preserve Ming Luo Hall’s heritage."

Ming Luo Hall had finally found such a talented genius, but unfortunately, he had no intention of joining.

Yan Yuanwu fell into a long silence. After confirming Jia Ren’s stance, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"Very well."

"Ming Luo Hall shall consider this an investment in you, fellow Daoist!"

The Donghua Immortal Domain is in constant strife, and Bizarre Immortals are watching intently. Who knows when a Sect might cease to exist?

Stubbornly holding onto the inheritance is useless. After all, there’s no one to carry on the legacy, no one capable of shouldering the responsibility.

Good deeds might lead to good karma. Perhaps this kindness will be reciprocated.

Another Jade Slip was thrown, flying over to Jia Ren.

Jia Ren confirmed there was no issue with the Jade Slip before projecting his spiritual awareness into it.

The cultivation technique was named Five Luo Daozang. It recorded a total of five Secret Repositories.

He had already learned about the Blood Repository and Bone Repository. This Jade Slip additionally recorded the corresponding methods to access them.

As long as one breaks through the body’s Mysterious Barriers, it isn’t difficult to invoke the hidden powers of both blood and bone.

The third Secret Repository is called the Body Repository. Achieving it grants an extraordinary physique, making the body indestructible. External demons are easily repelled, and it becomes immune to myriad techniques.

The fourth Secret Repository is called the Heaven Repository. One who achieves it exists concurrently with Heaven and Earth, is indestructible through myriad tribulations, and remains unharmed by the Great Dao, thereby attaining an eternal and imperishable body.

The fifth Secret Repository is called the Dao Treasury. Its contents were blank.

"Using strength to break through the Dao is also known as By Strength, Prove the Dao. Few have succeeded on this path. The founding ancestor of Ming Luo Hall once reached the Heaven Hiding Realm."

"The ancestor pursued the unknown Dao Treasury, and his whereabouts have long been unknown. Otherwise, Ming Luo Hall would not have declined to this extent."

Yan Yuanwu’s face showed a hint of regret.

The founding ancestor had reached the Heaven Hiding Realm. He would have been one of those least affected by the Bizarre Path.

With such a powerful ancestor presiding, Ming Luo Hall would possess formidable strength and wouldn’t have weakened to this state.

"I am deeply grateful for Senior’s gift of this cultivation technique. This great kindness will never be forgotten."

Jia Ren bowed respectfully to Yan Yuanwu. He indeed owed a sizable favor.

"I simply do not want the cultivation technique to gather dust, nor do I wish for the Bizarre Path to replace the Immortal Path."

The Five Luo Daozang has been gathering dust in Ming Luo Hall for countless years. For no one to have cultivated it to the Bone Repository realm—true mastery—is indeed a shame to our ancestors.

"Should you change your mind one day, fellow Daoist, Ming Luo Hall’s doors will always be open to you."

Yan Yuanwu added at last, not extinguishing his hope of enticing Jia Ren to join the sect.

In the distance, a gap silently appeared in the Formation. Without hesitation, Jia Ren transformed into a golden Escape Light and vanished from the place.

"What a pity..."

After Jia Ren disappeared, several Golden Immortals flew to Yan Yuanwu, one asking with dissatisfaction, "Lord of Ming Luo Hall, why did you give him the cultivation technique? With your strength, you could have captured him."

Yan Yuanwu suddenly coughed up the black blood that had been suppressed in his chest, his face turning as pale as paper.

"Shut your damn mouths!"

"If I could have beaten him, I would have kept him here already!"
