Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 620 - 615 Faith Bizarre? Fishing Operation_1

Chapter 620: Chapter 615 Faith Bizarre? Fishing Operation_1

The Divine Infant abdicates in his favor, and he aspires to be a god?

The crowd stared at Jia Ren in dumbfounded disbelief, their incredulity swiftly replaced by rage.

"How audacious, to dare insult the Divine Infant!"

The Divine Infant is the foundation of their faith, a sacred existence not to be defiled. This man’s blasphemy against the Divine Infant is an unforgivable sin. This surpassed all the persecution the Daqian Kingdom had endured over the years, making him the most despised being among them.

People were uncontrollably furious, and a Magical Treasure longsword materialized in the nearest infant’s hand, thrusting towards Jia Ren.

A mighty presence erupted, like a storm being unleashed, sending the encircling cult followers flying. They lay scattered on the ground, suffocated by a force so overwhelming that it stifled any thought of resistance. Their bodies stiffened, as if plunged into an icy cavern.

With a wave of Jia Ren’s hand, an invisible force descended upon the crowd. The next moment, everyone turned into infants.

Of course, he didn’t have the ability of the Infant Bizarre; it was simply the Mirror Flower Divine Moon that misled their perceptions. Ordinary people couldn’t discern the difference, and they believed that Jia Ren possessed the Divine Infant’s power, their eyes filled with shock.

"You tell me, am I qualified enough?!"

Most devotees of the Holy Infant Sect had never seen the Divine Infant; they desired only the favor of the Divine Infant, to be rejuvenated.

Bizarre Demons? Evil spirits? As long as they could survive and return to youth, they didn’t care. Since the man before them seemed to possess the Divine Infant’s power, and was a Daoist of the Mysterious Sublime Observatory, he appeared more trustworthy than the previous Divine Infant, so why not worship him?

In no time, many knelt before Jia Ren in worship. Several Cultivators of the Holy Infant Sect, who had been richly blessed by the Infant Bizarre, were thrown into disarray, unsure of what to do.

Jia Ren pointed towards the distant statue of the Divine Infant, and the next moment, the statue exploded, turning into a shower of fragments.

"Build a new statue for me, for I am the god of the Holy Infant Sect!"

He found a place to sit down imperiously and began to wait quietly.

The exact whereabouts of the Infant Bizarre were unknown. Rooting it out from each stronghold would be time-consuming and laborious, with no end in sight. Instead, he decided to drive the Infant Bizarre out into the open.

Why did the Daqian Kingdom have the Holy Infant Sect? For a Bizarre Demon to establish a sect with such a profound impact, there must be hidden motivations unknown to others. With this move striking at the sect’s vitals, he didn’t believe the Holy Infant Sect could sit idly by. Just waiting quietly for the trap to spring was all that was needed now.

Against Mahayana Stage Cultivators, Jia Ren stood no chance without utilizing the Dusk Treasured Light and the Law of Heaven and Earth in cooperation. But to deal with a Bizarre Demon... was no problem at all.

Once the Infant Bizarre arrived, he would capture it and be able to leave this realm and return to the Mysterious Realm.

The crowd worshiped before the newly erected statue of the evil Divine Infant, while only a few zealous followers of the Infant Bizarre stealthily fled to inform the Holy Infant Sect. Jia Ren didn’t concern himself with that. If no one notified the Holy Infant Sect, it would be his turn to sit tight.

The new converts busily set to work, constructing a statue after his likeness. The former Divine Infant deity became a thing of the past, quickly replaced by the newly sculpted Divine Infant statue. The incense was thriving, no longer worshiping the original Divine Infant, but Jia Ren instead.

In that moment, Jia Ren felt a peculiar power converging toward the distant statue, emitting an inexplicable allure. This was an aura he could not perceive in the statue of the Infant Bizarre before, as if it were something exclusively his. A power only felt when establishing a sect?

Jia Ren could hardly be said to have established a sect. However, by seeking to replace the Divine Infant and usurp its nest, it seemed he had met the corresponding conditions, and thus, this peculiar force came into being.

The Power of Incense Flames? The Power of Faith?

He dared not rashly engage with an unknown force, merely sensing carefully and keeping his distance. This force was indeed extraordinary, akin to the Incense Flame Power, with strange and unusual currents running through its core, unlike any ordinary power. It lay hidden within the statue, dormant, with an unexplained connection between the two. With but a single thought, he could draw this power into himself.

Could this be some unknown Bizarre Demon? Countless cases from the Mysterious Realm proved not all Bizarre Demons could be sealed; many were unsealable and uncatchable. The Oath Bizarre was one example. Could this force be akin to the existence of the Oath Bizarre? Only when the Power of Faith appeared would it reveal itself? Perhaps it could be called Faith Bizarre.

An uncatchable and unsealable Bizarre Demon was an entity Jia Ren was most wary of; he had to proceed with extreme caution.

The Mirror Flower Divine Moon appeared, freezing the scenes before the crowd and continuing to mislead their perceptions. The Suppressing Demon Divine Light revolved around Jia Ren as he cautiously approached his own statue.

Communicating with the statue in his consciousness, in an instant the accumulating tiny streams inside surged toward Jia Ren. Before they could enter his body, they first encountered the Suppressing Demon Divine Light and were swiftly annihilated. Once confirmed that the Suppressing Demon Divine Light could neutralize this force, Jia Ren became bolder and began a new experiment.

The Power of Faith enters the body!

A wisp of power freshly birthed from the statue approached once again. Upon entering his body, it transformed with little effort into his own Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power.

Though the amount was small, if... like the Infant Bizarre, he established temples far and wide and gathered a large following, the daily accumulated Power of Faith would be no small sum. Following this technique, how could one’s cultivation level not rise quickly?!

The Spiritual Power is different! It contains corrupting power! Prolonged exposure would likely turn a person into a Bizarre Demon!

Jia Ren had only taken in a minuscule amount, so the impact on him was negligible. Ultimately, however, he still felt its influence on his body. The Phoenix Flame within his body manifested, rapidly burning away the abnormal Spiritual Power, preventing the corruption from spreading and affecting more Spiritual Power. Just a strand of the Power of Faith could cause a considerable impact, and a massive intake of the strange Power of Faith would assuredly transform one into a monster.

He thought of the evil sect leaders he had encountered at the Wall of Star’s Breath and the Desolate Legacy Land; they were no longer human. The power released after the self-destruction of the Yellow Spring Saint Child had carried a bizarre aura, and he had been resurrected from death. All of this proved to Jia Ren just how terrifying this world was. Besides the Dead Immortal Will, this world also had the Faith Bizarre. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The Daqian Kingdom was a force propped up by the Dead Immortal Will, secretly manipulated and controlling the source of nature’s spiritual energy. The sect-based evil cult system, which absorbed disciples and the power of the Faith Bizarre as its mainstay, stood in opposition to the Daqian Kingdom.

The various sects’ fight over Li Feng must be because they do not want the Dead Immortal Will to be resurrected. Is this the intent of the sects? Or are they dominated and manipulated by the Faith Bizarre? The former would be better, as it’s merely a struggle for power. But if it’s the latter... The horror of the Faith Bizarre is no less than that of the Dead Immortal Will—another terrifying existence.

Once Jia Ren realized this, his expression turned strange.

This world truly was full of extraordinary individuals and spiritual lands, where two sly old things were battling in the dark. The Daqian Kingdom and the endlessly emerging evil sects were just extensions of their will. However, what was the purpose of the Daqian Kingdom in establishing the Mysterious Sublime Observatory? Could it be that Emperor Gan played both ends against the middle, making moves on both sides for a win-win situation? Jia Ren thought so hard he felt his head would burst; the waters of this world were too deep! After sealing the Infant Bizarre, he mustn’t stay here any longer—it’s time to go home... Regardless of how they fought, it has nothing to do with me.

Jia Ren’s methods could be described as striking the vital point. Upon receiving the news, the Holy Infant Sect immediately became uncontrollably furious. The struggle between the Holy Infant Sect and the Daqian Kingdom was one for power. The broader their influence, the more disciples they absorbed. Of course, what they wanted even more was to replace the Qian Country and have all under the heavens become disciples of the Holy Infant Sect. This expansion of territory brought external conflict. Suddenly, someone emerged, pretending to be the new Divine Infant, siphoning off the Power of Faith from them and stealing their fruits of victory—an act provoking the most intense hatred.

Upon receiving the news, the Holy Infant Sect immediately dispatched a large number of cultivators. They employed swift and fierce tactics to suppress this improper trend. Otherwise, if everyone followed suit, the Holy Infant Sect would inevitably be troubled with internal conflicts, endless disputes, and lose the momentum of growth.

They’ve arrived so quickly!

Jia Ren had waited for less than two hours when, as if sensing something, he raised his head and gazed into the distance. Two shadows arrived instantaneously, their expressions cold as they stared at Jia Ren.

"Isn’t this the Daoist of Mysterious Taoist Temple?"

"The old fellow isn’t willing to share even a sliver of the Power of Faith with you, so you come to our bowl to snatch food!"

"That’s right, that old fellow has always been stingy; your resentment is only too justified."

The two figures recognized Jia Ren and mocked him while remaining vigilant, wary that this might be a trap laid by the Mysterious Sublime Observatory. They wondered if the State Preceptor was hidden somewhere, planning to take down the Holy Infant Sect in one fell swoop.

Profound Capital Ming was the State Preceptor’s top disciple and a cultivator in the Mid-stages of Combination Cultivation. In the Daqian Kingdom, he was no small fry—a figure who could make Gan Capital tremble with a stomp of his foot. In terms of status, he was not inferior to them, perhaps even superior by a measure.

"Just the two of you?"

His gaze swept over the two Holy Infant Sect Body Integration Realm cultivators, focusing on their Spiritual Power. It was indeed fundamentally different from the Daqian system, carrying an unexplainable eerie aura.

"Where’s your Divine Infant?"

"How can you recognize me as divine if I don’t deal with it?"

Jia Ren had not forgotten that his purpose for this journey was the Infant Bizarre. Dealing with these Miscellaneous Fish was pointless; displaying exceptionally strong power might even alert the enemy. The best course would be to force it out and catch them all in one net.

"HEH HEH, you’re not worthy of having the Divine Infant descend upon you. A mere Infant Spirit can deal with you."

As their words fell, a plump white baby quick-stepped towards them from afar. Its gaze locked onto Jia Ren, making no effort to hide the resentment in its eyes. Snatching away the Incense Flame Power of Faith was a grievance comparable to obstructing one’s cultivation path.

Two Body Integration Realm cultivators from the Holy Infant Sect, along with an Infant Spirit, were enough to handle a troublemaker. There was no need for them to use their ultimate measures.

"You cannot keep me! In the future, the Holy Infant Sect will be my dojo!"

Jia Ren saw that the big fish hadn’t bitten the hook and had no intention to battle them, so he promptly used Instantaneous Movement to depart. This was a clear sign of his intent to confront the Holy Infant Sect to the end. If the Holy Infant Sect could not deal with Profound Capital Ming, similar incidents would continue to happen. In the long run, this would undermine the Holy Infant Sect’s foundation!

The two Body Integration Realm cultivators and the Infant Spirit hastily pursued but ultimately were a step too late.

"WAH!"

Just at that moment, a thunderous cry of a baby rang out, transforming all Magical Beasts and people within a hundred miles into babies. Their vitality plummeted to the state of newborn infants. This was not a power the Infant Spirit possessed.

The true Infant Bizarre had arrived!
