Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 665 - 659: Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure Plan, Bloodline Enhancement_1
Did all six Mahayana Stage Cultivators possessing Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures die?
Tian Lingzi, Ancestor Ji Kong, and the others were so shocked they couldn’t regain their composure for a long time. They seemed to have lost the ability to formulate speech and fell into a prolonged silence.
Their gazes toward Jia Ren were immensely complex, and they were deeply affected.
Without a doubt, even if they had continuous fortunate encounters in the future and reached the level of Grand Ancestor Tai Yuan, compared to Grand Elder Jia, they would still be insignificant.
Why is the disparity between people so immense...
It was uncertain who looked toward Ancestor Ji Kong, their eyes seeming to ask: How did you teach this disciple of yours? Why is the disciple so formidable, yet the master such a failure?
Ancestor Ji Kong thought, I don’t want to speak with any of you.
"Grand Elder," one of them asked, "is it possible to let the Artifact Refiners copy the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures? Perhaps we can then refine Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures."
To date, the Lingbao Sect has only one method to refine Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, and it requires the use of a Heavenly Treasure Body.
Before otherworldly visitors appeared in the Mysterious Realm, the Lingbao Sect possessed the few remaining Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. They also had many methods for refining Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, undoubtedly making them the most prominent existence in the Mysterious Realm.
As Otherworldly Cultivators arrived one after another, bringing with them Jade Void Divine Boats and more Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures no longer counted as top-tier.
The Lingbao Sect, once the sect most skilled at refining Spiritual Treasures, was now a mere shadow of its former self.
Refining Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures was the grand ambition of the Lingbao Sect’s Heaven-reaching Refiners. They wished to revive the Lingbao Sect’s prestige and craft the world’s most powerful treasures.
The innate Inscriptions of Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures were significant. Even if they couldn’t be perfectly replicated, they still held referential meaning and value for Artifact Refiners.
This indeed carried extraordinary significance for the Lingbao Sect.
The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower still yearned to be upgraded to a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. However, relying solely on its own power, it was unknown how much time and effort this would require.
With the assistance of the Lingbao Sect’s Heaven-reaching Refiners, the remaining tasks would become much simpler, reducing many obstacles on the Spirit Tower’s path to advancement.
"I would trouble the Sect’s Artifact Refiners to help me understand the effects of these Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures," Jia Ren said. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
He casually handed the six Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures he had obtained—the Qing Ding, Azure Awl, Jin Ling, Black Pearl, Hei Dao, and Red Rope—to Tian Lingzi.
Tian Lingzi’s hand trembled slightly as he held the six Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.
He had never imagined he would handle so many Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures in his lifetime. Even now, it felt like a dream.
"Is the Mysterious Realm really so barren?" Tian Lingzi voiced the doubt in the hearts of all the Lingbao Sect’s high-level Elders.
These outsiders are all Mahayana Stage Cultivators, and most of them possess Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. Especially the more recent arrivals; every single one of them had a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.
This realization left them greatly shaken.
The Mysterious Realm, which we always considered a treasure trove, seems to be... truly poor.
Jia Ren replied, "I don’t know much about other Cultivation Worlds, only that the older a Cultivation World is, the fewer resources it tends to have. The resources of any Cultivation World are not infinite; they are limited. The more the predecessors consumed, the fewer resources were naturally left for later generations. During its peak, the Mysterious Realm had a considerable number of Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures and was no weaker than other Cultivation Worlds. However, these treasures were not passed down to successors but were taken along to the Immortal Realm. This situation isn’t unique to the Mysterious Realm; it’s common in other Cultivation Worlds, which has made Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures increasingly scarce. Only Cultivation Worlds with relatively short histories and fewer cultivators still retain abundant nature’s spiritual energy and cultivation resources."
Jia Ren wasn’t clear about the situations in the Wushan Realm, Taixu Realm, and Huangshan Realm, but he knew that Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures weren’t produced in the Three Realms.
"These factions possessing Jade Void Divine Boats are often plunderers roaming the Void," Jia Ren continued. "Once they discover a Cultivation Sect with treasures, they will inevitably go and seize them. Most of the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures belonging to these Mahayana Stage Cultivators were obtained through plunder. How can merely holding onto the resources of a single realm compare to widespread plundering in the Void? The more Cultivation Worlds they plunder, the more resources they accumulate. They inevitably grow stronger, like a snowball rolling downhill. Ordinary Cultivation Worlds are no match for an alliance of Mahayana Stage Cultivators from another realm and are simply devoured."
One of the Lingbao Sect Elders lamented, "The Mysterious Realm is still caught up in internal struggles for resources, while cultivators from other Cultivation Worlds are already venturing into the Void to plunder..."
Hearing Jia Ren’s words, the high-level Elders of the Lingbao Sect fell into a long silence.
No wonder those otherworldly visitors possess so many treasures, they thought. They were all obtained through pillage and slaughter.
Although they despised such methods, they had to admit it was an effective way to increase one’s strength.
"How is the construction of the Jade Void Divine Boat progressing?" Jia Ren asked.
The Jade Void Divine Boat was crucial for unrestricted travel across the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, ensuring safe passage and escape. Jia Ren had acted twice but, regrettably, had failed to acquire a Jade Void Divine Boat. Now, he could only rely on the Lingbao Sect and his own efforts.
Tian Lingzi replied, "We are missing too many materials, including many unknown Heavenly Spirit Materials. Even if we had the complete construction method, the lack of materials prevents us from building it. The Refining Palace is currently attempting to construct a simplified version of a Void Flying Boat. However, its ability to resist the Void’s erosion will be diminished, and it will lack the crucial Ethereal Spirit power."
The Jade Void Divine Boat’s greatest strength wasn’t its ability to traverse the Void, but its capacity to enter an Ethereal Spirit state, rendering it untraceable and immune to harm. This very capability had allowed cultivators from the Tai Xu Alliance, Huang Shan Alliance, and Wushan Alliance to escape alive from Void-level Strange Creatures.
The simplified Void Flying Boat was far from satisfactory.
However, some of the required Heavenly Spirit Materials had never even appeared in the Mysterious Realm. Without them, refining a Jade Void Divine Boat was impossible.
He could only wait until he reached the Mahayana Realm. Then, he could travel to the world where the Daqian Kingdom was located or search for materials using the spatial coordinates left behind by ancient relics or the Wushan Alliance.
Jia Ren put the matter aside, feeling no urgency.
His Body Integration Cultivation Level was still somewhat weak. Once he reached the Mahayana Realm, his strength would increase significantly, making it easier to deal with Dead Immortals. This would effectively prevent him from being caught off guard. If he were unlucky enough to encounter Void-level Strange Creatures in the Void, even if he couldn’t defeat them, he could at least escape faster.
There’s no rush, Jia Ren thought. With this precious time, it’s best to cultivate steadily.
Jia Ren left the Hall of Lingbao and returned to his cave dwelling, entering the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.
Having been nurtured by the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl had recently become the second treasure to reach peak Mahayana level.
The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower’s space was now full. Low-level Bizarre Demons had been cleared out to make room specifically for powerful Bizarre Demons and segments of Complete Cryptids. A large number of top-tier Bizarre Demons were gathered in the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. Feng Wu occasionally added mature Phoenix Flames to increase its refining power.
The amount of Sacrificial Fire produced daily by the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower was terrifyingly large.
After being placed inside for thirty years, the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl had advanced from Body Integration Stage perfection to Mahayana Level Perfection. A God Transformation Level treasure placed in the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower could reach Mahayana Level Perfection in less than fifty years.
Such efficiency was simply monstrous.
The Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, now at Mahayana Level Perfection, contained a vast and stable space. It stretched endlessly, enough for an uninformed person to mistake it for a massive Secret Realm World. The Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl had essentially become a portable Secret Realm. Its concentration of nature’s spiritual energy far surpassed that of other secret realms, even those within the Mysterious Realm.
If the Mysterious Realm hadn’t belonged to the Lingbao Sect and become his private domain, he would have long ago found a place to unleash the Dusk Treasured Light and greedily devour the nature’s spiritual energy from all directions.
The current amount of nature’s spiritual energy is sufficient for now, Jia Ren mused. Better to save this method to deal with the Daqian Kingdom later!
ROAR!
A white tiger roared continuously. It was the Divine Beast, White Tiger, which had successfully undergone ancestral reversion in the past nearly forty years. Sensing its master’s aura, the White Tiger padded closer, rubbing its head against him. Its earlier ferocity was gone, replaced by the demeanor of a large, pure white cat without a single stray fleck of color in its fur.
"Bai Ling," Jia Ren said, "we haven’t seen each other for twenty years, and you’ve grown so big."
Nearby stood a red ape exuding a fierce and violent aura—it was the Primordial Fierce Beast, Zhu Yan. Compared to Bai Ling, Zhu Yan appeared much colder. It glanced disdainfully at the White Tiger, which was currently enjoying being petted, its eyes full of contempt.
The White Tiger, fiercest of the Four Holy Beasts! When did it become a mere white cat that only knows how to fawn over someone? Zhu Yan thought. And this creature dares to consider itself my rival!
Top-tier Primordial Fierce Beasts were not much weaker than Divine Beasts, and a Zhu Yan at its peak was capable of battling Divine Beasts.
In the rivers winding through the forests, one could occasionally spot Azure Jiaos with extremely pure bloodlines frolicking in the water. The birds soaring in the sky also bore traces of the Bi Fang’s lineage.
The bloodline enhancement plan was already underway. Many Magical Beasts possessing Divine Beast bloodlines were being nurtured, their bloodlines continuously strengthened and filtered. After several generations of breeding, they would meet the minimum conditions for their Divine Beast bloodlines to undergo ancestral reversion, allowing for the birth of Azure Dragons and other Divine Beasts.
In the future, the Divine Beast Legion will truly burgeon in numbers. This will be a force that belongs exclusively to me!
Jia Ren flew for thousands of miles through the primeval jungle reserved for these beasts, finally returning to his own cave dwelling. The nature’s spiritual energy in the cave dwelling area was even denser, with the auras of Divine Beasts subtly present all around, guarding the location.
Sensing Jia Ren’s arrival, several heads peeked out.
"Not bad, Jin Sheng. You’ve finally reached the late Sixth Rank!" Jia Ren said, looking at Jin Sheng.
Jin Sheng was the first Divine Beast to undergo ancestral reversion. After many years, it had finally taken another step forward to reach the late Sixth Rank.
Unfortunately, its growth rate is still too slow... Jia Ren thought.
In comparison, the fastest was the Golden-Winged Peng Bird that his Insect External Incarnation had possessed; it now emanated a Seventh-order aura. Its rate of strength increase was astonishing. Among his Divine Beasts, it had the best chance of catching up to his own cultivation realm.
Next was Mo Lin, at the mid-Sixth Rank.
Zhu Yan, Feng Wu, Xuanwu Xuanzun, and Nine-tailed Fox Ali had all reached the Sixth Rank, their bloodlines and combat power further enhanced. The bloodlines of the first two (Zhu Yan and Feng Wu) had already been replaced, while Xuanwu and Nine-tailed Fox Ali had only completed their advancement in the last twenty years.
Jia Ren had used the bloodlines of mature Divine Beasts to replace their previous bloodline powers. This way, when he used the corresponding forms of his Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body, the abilities manifested would be even stronger.
He first returned to the pool to integrate the new bloodline powers.
His Black Tortoise Form was his strongest defensive state. With its bloodline further enhanced, his defensive capabilities would soar. The Nine-tailed Fox Form enhanced his illusion abilities, elevating the power of Mirror Flower Divine Moon to a new level. Paired with the Deceiving the Heavens Pearl, the effect would be exceedingly potent.
After completing the bloodline replacement, Jia Ren returned to the Cultivation Room to enter secluded meditation.
The Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power, accumulated in the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower for over twenty years, surged continuously into his body, converting into his own cultivation.
After an unknown period, all the Spiritual Power was absorbed. His cultivation panel showed his progress at Mid-Stage Body Integration had reached ninety-nine percent.
He was only one step away from the Late Stage of Body Integration!
