Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 659 - 653 Infamous, Devouring the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure_1

Chapter 659: Chapter 653 Infamous, Devouring the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure_1

"I have two Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures in my possession; I wonder if they will suffice."

Two Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures? The high-level Elders of Lingbao Sect wore odd expressions, full of disbelief. Such high-level treasures were not common cabbages littering the streets. Indeed, the Mysterious Realm had not witnessed the birth of a single Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure from ancient times until the present day. Up until now, the only Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure known to the Mysterious Realm was the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda of Lingbao Sect. This fact alone showed how precious such treasures were.

"A gift from the Wushan Alliance," Jia Ren stated. He took out the Xuantian Stone Spirit Pot and the Mysterious Xuan Primordial Pearl, uncertain which of the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures was more compatible with the Formation. Furthermore, there was another incomplete Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, the Zijin Xuanren. This Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure was already damaged, but there might still be a possibility to repair it to reach seventy percent of its peak power. However, Jia Ren didn’t plan to waste time on repairs; it was time-consuming and laborious, and its power would be reduced. The Spirit Devouring Treasure Art offered a simple and effortless method to increase Cultivation Level through devouring. Compared to that, Cultivation Level was more important. If Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures were not so precious, and if Jia Ren had no means to refine them, he would have wanted to consume these two treasures as well.

A gift?! Who would be willing to give away such precious treasures as a gift? Nobody believed Jia Ren’s nonsense; they understood the situation. They had intended to question the cultivators from Wushan Realm, but now the evidence was clear: they must have been killed by Grand Elder Jia Ren. It was their bad luck to come across Jia Ren, the great calamity. At this moment, they were extremely relieved that Jia Ren was a cultivator from Lingbao Sect...

The Mysterious Xuan Primordial Pearl and the Xuantian Stone Spirit Pot were placed into the Mystery Slave Array for testing. The Mysterious Xuan Primordial Pearl proved to be the most compatible with the Mystery Slave Array. As the Formation Base, this Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure possessed a degree of compatibility far surpassing the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda. Consequently, it greatly increased the efficiency of Press Bizarre. The Mysterious Xuan Primordial Pearl flowed into the Mystery Slave Array like mercury, transforming into a silver longsword with black secret patterns flowing across its surface. Everyone channeled power from the Nine Heavens Star Luo Formation into it, creating a small Breath of Stars Barrier to prevent the strange power from leaking out. Everything was ready, with no hidden dangers confirmed.

The Curse Bizarre Person was the first to be released from the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower and thrown into the composite trap formed by the small Breath of Stars Barrier and the Mystery Slave Array. Its entire body was burning with Phoenix Flame. The Breath of Stars Barrier blocked any hope of escape, and its eyes were filled with resentment.

"Let me go! You won’t manage to kill me!"

"I curse you all to die completely! May your bodies and souls rot away, and may you suffer the Five Decays of Heaven and Man!"

"..."

Malicious curses spilled from the mouth of the Curse Bizarre Person. For ordinary people, such curses were just spiteful swearing, without any substantial killing power. But the Curse Bizarre Person was different; once its curse power fell on a cultivator, both the decay of body and soul and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man would become reality. The Breath of Stars Barrier enveloped it like an eggshell, not letting even a bit of curse power leak out. The secret-patterned silver sword, formed from the Mysterious Xuan Primordial Pearl and the Mystery Slave Array, descended from the heavens, cutting the Curse Bizarre Person in half at the waist.

The body of the Curse Bizarre Person swiftly repaired itself, returning to its full form, seemingly no different from before.

A Bizarre Demon would revive as a single entity even after death. Only by dividing a Bizarre Demon into weaker offspring that revived separately could the division be considered successful. A Complete Bizarre Demon’s strength was one hundred; after being divided by the Mystery Slave Array, it would turn into two entities, each with a strength of ten. The second Press Bizarre would divide a ten-strength remnant bizarre into two one-strength offspring Bizarre Demons. Once a Bizarre Demon broke its seal and its body repaired completely, its power would return to its peak.

It was extremely difficult to divide a Complete Bizarre Person. The secret-patterned silver sword struck down time and again, yet the Bizarre Person always repaired itself, returning to its original state. However, its aura diminished slightly compared to before.

Ten sword strikes!

A hundred sword strikes!

A thousand sword strikes!

Every sword strike infused secret forces into the Bizarre Body. After tens of thousands of divisions, the Curse Bizarre Person’s aura diminished to its limit, and it reformed into two clumps of remnant bizarre that revived separately.

The psyche of the Curse Bizarre Person seemed to be split as well; the cursing stopped abruptly, and it stayed in place as if intellectually disabled. Dividing a Bizarre Demon not only affected its strength but also split the Sinful Denizens’ Divine Souls parasitizing it, turning them into idiots.

"Success!" Jia Ren’s face showed satisfaction. The process, which was supposed to take three to five years, was reduced to just ten days, far exceeding his expectations.

In the end, it was the Mysterious Xuan Primordial Pearl, a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, that was truly effective; it was exceptionally compatible with the Formation used to Press Bizarre, making it extremely suitable for dividing Bizarre Demons.

This Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure was deliberately gifted by Luo Zongqi. He must have guessed that I would be dividing Bizarre Demons, so his gift of the Mysterious Xuan Primordial Pearl was intentional.

One had to admit, he indeed owed a favor.

If he had the opportunity to encounter Luo Zongqi again, he wouldn’t mind lending a hand.

The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower emerged, and its seventy-first and seventy-second layers lit up, sending the two remnant Curse Bizarre to different floors.

An Elder inquired, "Grand Elder, aren’t we continuing to divide this Bizarre Demon? They can be divided into even weaker Bizarre Demons, reducing the difficulty of their suppression. After the strength of the Bizarre Demons decreases, dividing them won’t take too much time."

Believing that Jia Ren was not very familiar with Formations, the Lord of Zhenxie Peak then elaborated, "If the Curse Bizarre Person is divided into smaller offspring, they won’t be able to escape the seal. The subsequent division process will take at most half a day, and beyond that, the difficulty will decrease further. Since we have already divided the Bizarre Demons, it’s best to reduce the risk to the lowest possible level."

The Lord of Zhenxie Peak’s idea wasn’t wrong; to be precise, it was the safest and most secure method. However, for Jia Ren, it was the complete opposite. The stronger the Bizarre Demons, the more Sacrificial Fire they produced. If it weren’t for the fact that the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower’s current level wasn’t high enough to suppress so many Complete Bizarre Demons, the step of dividing them would have been omitted entirely. Once the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower was strong enough, the divided Bizarre Demons would transform back into Complete Bizarre Demons within the tower, providing even more Sacrificial Fire. Dividing them into weaker remnant bizarre would only take up more space in the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower and result in less and less Sacrificial Fire; this was a choice of necessity. Dividing a Complete Bizarre Demon once eased the pressure on the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower and ensured the maximum supply of Sacrificial Fire.

"There’s limited space in the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower; it can’t hold more Bizarre Demons, and I can’t entrust this to anyone else," Jia Ren explained. "There are even stronger Void-level Strange Creatures in the Void..."

Jia Ren briefly recounted the matter of the Void-level Strange Creatures, causing everyone’s expressions to change drastically.

Powerful Bizarre Demons capable of destroying an entire Cultivation World?

Were there such terrifying entities in existence?!

Just thinking about the hidden dangers in the Void and the unsealed Bizarre Demons that were still a potential risk, they realized it could potentially bring ruin to the Mysterious Realm. The Breath of Stars Barrier method of sealing was not reliable enough. Remnants of the Bizarre Demons’ aura remained, and should the corresponding Void-level Strange Creatures trace it, it would be a colossal problem. This had already been confirmed in the Daqian Kingdom! If not for this, Jia Ren would have thrown a few Complete Bizarre Demons into the Breath of Stars Barrier, leaving the Lingbao Sect Cultivators to slowly divide them. Why should he defend this place and divide Bizarre Demons when he could be dealing with those that hadn’t been sealed, advancing on both fronts?

The priority became to divide the Complete Bizarre Demons as quickly as possible.

The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, unlike the Breath of Stars Barrier, kept the sealed Bizarre Demons’ aura from leaking out, making them undetectable by Void-level Strange Creatures. Jia Ren wasn’t sure how many Void-level Strange Creatures existed across the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, but there were undoubtedly some that shared origins with the Mysterious Realm. If the seal hadn’t been strong enough, it would have attracted other Void-level Strange Creatures long ago; the Mysterious Realm wouldn’t have remained peaceful until now.

Jia Ren and the Lingbao Sect Cultivators continued dividing Bizarre Demons, lessening the pressure on the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. Thanks to the mature Phoenix Flame being sufficiently powerful, it accompanied the rebirth of the Complete Bizarre Demons time and time again, remaining unextinguished for a long time, as if it were a true undying flame.

Now, as the Lingbao Fengyan Formation’s period of effect ended, Phoenix Yi had flown into the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl to slumber, no longer able to provide fresh mature Phoenix Flame. Without its suppression, the young Phoenix Flame was ineffective, and several powerful Bizarre Demons, freed from their constraints, had already begun to damage the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

More than two hundred days passed, and all Complete Bizarre Demons inside the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower were divided and sent to different floors.

Soon after Jia Ren’s return, Feng Wu and Zhu Yan successively entered a transformational slumber. Upon awakening, they would be mature divine birds. By then, the power of their flames would surely reach a higher level.

"It’s finally over!" Jia Ren thought with relief. After more than two hundred days, all Complete Bizarre Demons had been divided and suppressed. This was good news. However, the task couldn’t be considered truly finished. The unsealed Bizarre Demons were still potential threats that had to be sealed as quickly as possible. He did not want the Mysterious Realm to fall into an irreparable state due to negligence.

Jia Ren left behind the methods to refine the Jade Void Divine Boat, preparing a backup plan in advance, and then departed from the Lingbao Sect alone to seal the Bizarre Demons. From then on, the counteroffensive against the Bizarre Demons officially began.

In the eastern, southern, western, and northern domains of the Mysterious Realm, Jia Ren’s figure appeared successively, sending one Bizarre Demon after another into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. With the Sacrificial Fire provided by twenty-odd Complete Bizarre Demons and a multitude of other Bizarre Demons over more than two hundred days, the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower received an abundant supply and grew rapidly.

「On this very day」

It began to shake continuously. Its aura suddenly erupted, ascending to the peak of the Mahayana Realm in one fell swoop. The first treasure to reach the peak of the Mahayana Realm was born!

"Next, once my Cultivation Level reaches the Mahayana Realm, I will upgrade it to a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. It will become the strongest demon-sealing treasure!"

"With this treasure formed, perhaps I’ll have a chance to battle Void-level Strange Creatures."

Jia Ren gazed at the ninety-nine-story dark tower, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He returned to the Lingbao Sect, sending the captured Complete Bizarre Demons into the Formation for division. More and more Bizarre Demons were sealed. Up to now, among the known ones, only the Mimic Bizarre and Thought Bizarre remained untraceable. The two Bizarre Demons were suspected of hiding in an unknown Secret Realm World, without a trace, making the search rather troublesome. To find them, it was inevitable that he would have to spend more effort.

As the Grand Elder of the only remaining top Sect in the Mysterious Realm, Jia Ren couldn’t personally take care of everything; the task of searching for the remaining Bizarre Demons was left to other Cultivators.

"It’s time to enhance my Cultivation Level!"

He flipped his palm, and the Zijin Xuanren, broken into two halves, appeared in his hand. This was the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure that had been damaged by the Golden-Winged Peng Bird’s feathers, obtained from the Wushan Alliance Cultivator. Previously, his mind had been preoccupied with sealing and dealing with Bizarre Demons, so he hadn’t made proper use of this damaged Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. Now, it was better to digest and utilize it sooner rather than later.

He had a hunch that once he devoured this item, along with the several Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures he had obtained, his Cultivation Level would undoubtedly reach Mid-Stage Integration, and possibly even advance to Integrating Body Late Stage.
