Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 485 - 480 Mingsheng Source and Void Pill, Array Spirit!_1

Chapter 485: Chapter 480 Mingsheng Source and Void Pill, Array Spirit!_1

The Insect External Incarnation watched Brother Yu Lin leave, repeatedly confirming that the other party had left no tricks behind, before finally taking out the Treasure-seeking Mouse.

The Bewildering Spirit Bead provided concealment. Though not as effective as when combined with the Mirror Flower Divine Moon, as long as the Treasure-seeking Mouse remained within its protective scope, hiding its tracks was not a problem.

Things went much more smoothly after that. Before long, it discovered a rare treasure within an ancient tree: the Mingsheng Source.

The Mingsheng Source is a wonder of nature, its status no less than that of Heavenly Earth Elixirs.

This item could not be consumed directly and was only used for Refining Treasures.

The most common method was to place the Mingsheng Source alongside Spiritual Medicine, where it could strengthen the Spiritual Medicine’s essence and help it break through its limits.

Most Spiritual Medicines have a maximum age; for some, it is a thousand years, for others, ten thousand.

Once they reached a thousand or ten thousand years, the Spiritual Medicines would no longer continue to grow.

If a Mingsheng Source was placed in a Spirit Medicine Garden, the Spiritual Medicines within its sphere of influence would lose their age limits and continue to mature.

For ordinary Spiritual Medicine, its value, while present, was not significant.

However, if used on Heaven and Earth Divine Trees to help them break their original limits, combined with the accelerated growth from a Xuan Beast Avatar, it wouldn’t just be about growing Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Materials or birthing Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures; even producing top-tier Heavenly Spirit Material would be no issue.

The prerequisite is that I find a Heaven and Earth Divine Tree...

The Mingsheng Source was definitely a great treasure. If submitted to the Sect, it would undoubtedly fetch more than one piece of Supreme-grade Spiritual Material, possibly even Heavenly Spirit Material.

I didn’t come to the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm in vain; it truly is a treasure trove.

The Mingsheng Source was extremely well-hidden; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been his turn to find it.

Of course, the greatest contributor was still the Treasure-seeking Mouse.

The Insect External Incarnation took out an Ancestor Beast Holy Pill and threw it to the Treasure-seeking Mouse as a reward.

Having made a significant gain, the Insect External Incarnation set off on its journey once again. After a short while, it sensed a mighty aura lying dormant in the distance. A Divinity Transformation Stage Demon Beast?

Relying on the Bewildering Spirit Bead, the Insect External Incarnation crept closer cautiously without being detected.

This was a Flood Dragon lair, housing two black Flood Dragons, each possessing the strength of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

The Insect External Incarnation confirmed there was no one nearby, and a purple jade bell suddenly appeared in its palm. This treasure was none other than the Soul-Shaking Bell obtained from Ancestor Ji Kong.

Since acquiring it, Jia Ren had never used this treasure. Now was an excellent opportunity, one he certainly couldn’t pass up.

An ocean of Spiritual Power flooded in like a rushing tide. In a short time, the incarnation’s early Divinity Transformation Stage Spiritual Power was completely drained.

Using the Soul-binding Chain last time had been easy mainly because Ancestor Ji Kong had previously left Spiritual Power in it. This allowed the Soul-binding Chain to act autonomously, guided by the will of the God-binding Chain, and thus it did not consume Jia Ren’s own Spiritual Power.

Operating a Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure with an early Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivation Level was still too strenuous.

Jia Ren’s palm reached out from thin air, endlessly pouring Spiritual Power into the Soul-Shaking Bell.

Both he and the Insect External Incarnation possessed Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power. However, because the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl had not yet fully matured, the incarnation’s Spiritual Power quality and Cultivation Level were far inferior to his main body’s.

With the support of this Spiritual Power, the bell was finally satiated.

An unending flow of nature’s spiritual energy gathered, swiftly restoring the Spiritual Power the Insect External Incarnation had depleted.

This commotion alerted the two Divinity Transformation Stage Flood Dragons in the lair. Although they couldn’t find the Insect External Incarnation hidden by the Bewildering Spirit Bead, they sensed that something was amiss.

Before the two Flood Dragons could react, the crisp sound of a bell rang out. This sound was that of a death knell.

In the Divine Seas of the two Divinity Transformation Stage Flood Dragons, two Soul-Shaking Hammers materialized out of nowhere, striking them and knocking their Divine Souls out of their bodies.

The two Flood Dragon souls appeared dazed, still in a state of shock and unable to resist.

Had he not wished to preserve the two Fifth Rank Flood Dragon souls to forge a Soul-Shaking Sword, he could have directly obliterated them.

The Soul-capturing Gourd flew up, forcibly sucking the two Flood Dragon souls inside.

Just like that, a mid-Fifth Rank and an early Fifth Rank Flood Dragon were captured without bloodshed.

As expected of a Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, its power is truly great.

The only drawback is that it consumes Spiritual Power too fiercely.

The Insect External Incarnation, feeling the scarce Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power remaining within the Soul-Shaking Bell, took out a Heaven Returning Divine Pill to accelerate its Spiritual Power recovery.

Thanks to the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm’s abundant nature’s spiritual energy, and with a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator having opened the Two Bridges of Heaven and Earth, recovery was not slow.

This was the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm. Although the Spirit Treasure Sect had cleared it out, it didn’t mean all danger was eradicated.

Only with sufficient Spiritual Power could one handle danger and ensure personal safety.

A Heaven Returning Divine Pill wasn’t expensive, and Jia Ren sourced the alchemical ingredients himself, making the cost negligible.

Jia Ren was inside the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, restoring his Spiritual Power.

The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower voraciously consumed nature’s spiritual energy, funneling it into his body. Within a short time, his Spiritual Power had recovered by fifty percent.

The newly restored Spiritual Power was poured into the Soul-Shaking Bell, ensuring he wouldn’t be unable to use this precious treasure if danger struck again.

Jin Sheng approached, its head cocked. Five years had passed, and it had grown from under a zhang in length to a staggering twenty zhang long, an astonishing transformation.

Its aura was solidly at the peak of early Fifth Rank, not far from mid-Fifth Rank.

The potential of True Dragons was astonishing. The power from their bloodline was far from fully tapped, and their growth rate was incredibly fast.

Jin Sheng’s rapid growth also put pressure on Jia Ren. He didn’t want Jin Sheng to reach the Lianxu Stage before he himself was out of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

True Dragons were much stronger than Ma Tianbao’s Heavenly Treasure Body, far beyond his own comparison.

If I learn the Golden Scale Wind-Riding Technique and invest in a True Dragon... my cultivation speed would definitely be shockingly fast... provided this Cultivation Technique can be used to invest in Spirit Beasts.

The Golden Scale Wind-Riding Technique was originally for investing in potential dragons. He had started by capturing Flood Dragons, using Ancestral Return Elixirs as capital. After a successful ancestral return, it would be time to reap the rewards like a fisherman.

This Cultivation Technique should be workable... The cultivator who created the Golden Scale Wind-Riding Technique wouldn’t have dared to dream of investing in a True Dragon, mainly because there was no opportunity.

It’s a pity this is a Cultivation Technique. If it were a secret technique or a Divine Skill...

Jia Ren had cultivated the Heavenly Treasure Spirit Cultivation Technique up to this point and could still achieve effortless victory; he had no intention of changing his cultivation method.

However, the thought of a great opportunity right before him that he couldn’t utilize was unavoidably regrettable.

Wait a second! If Ancestor Ji Kong could use the Heavenly Treasure Spirit Cultivation Technique to modify and create the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art, then I can do the same thing!

Jia Ren remembered that the Spirit Treasure Sect also had the Lingbao Cave Heaven, which aided Enlightenment. Paired with the Proficiency Panel, modifying the technique shouldn’t be a problem.

It wasn’t too late to invest in Jin Sheng now. Moreover, he planned to build a Divine Beast Legion next, so there would be many more opportunities in the future. He couldn’t miss the chance to gain cultivation for free.

Obtaining the Golden Scale Wind-Riding Technique wouldn’t be easy; it was a Heavenly Palace Sect technique. If Wang Fugui could have taught it to him, he would have done so without reservation long ago.

It seemed he could only resort to the Corpse-Eating Fiend Pill.

I’ll consider this matter again when I reach the Lianxu Stage.

The Mysterious Realm teemed with powerful individuals. Traversing it at the Divinity Transformation Stage was ultimately not safe enough; only at the Lianxu Stage could one feel somewhat at ease.

By then, he wouldn’t have to worry about Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures consuming too much Spiritual Power. If he encountered Body Integration Realm cultivators, even if he couldn’t win, he could use the Soul-Shaking Bell to buy time and escape.

Only the top-tier sects had Mahayana Stage cultivators. Mahayana Stage cultivators were the stabilizing forces of their sects and wouldn’t easily leave their sect grounds.

Cultivators of the Body Integration Realm were the strongest individuals one might encounter roaming the Mysterious Realm. Such experts were rare, and as long as one didn’t provoke the top-tier sects, safety was assured.

Jia Ren began his secluded cultivation, using the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower to accelerate his progress toward the late Divinity Transformation Stage.

The Insect External Incarnation, with the Treasure-seeking Mouse, was still exploring. After traveling ten thousand li in more than half a day, the Treasure-seeking Mouse suddenly began to squeak excitedly.

Eh, where’s the treasure? He spent considerable time searching but failed to find any treasure. Instead, he discovered... A Formation!

Why would there be a Formation here? Could the treasure be hidden within it?

The Ban-breaking Finger was already ineffective against high-rank Formations. Using his full strength, he barely managed to glimpse the mysteries within: an immature Heavenly Earth Elixir, the Xuling Flower.

The Xuling Flower was a special Heavenly Earth Elixir that could be used to refine Void Pills. After consuming one, a person’s body would turn ethereal, becoming undetectable and invulnerable to all harm for the duration.

This pill could be considered a life-saving divine pill. Jia Ren had seen its Alchemy Recipe in the records of Heavenly Earth Elixirs; it seemed to be an ancient recipe, which he had firmly committed to memory.

I wonder if this Formation was set up by my fellow disciples or perhaps by one of the Sect’s ancestors. Should I poach it?

It must have been one of the Sect’s ancestors; my fellow disciples aren’t proficient in Formations.

With such a precious Heavenly Earth Elixir within reach, he naturally couldn’t miss it. The Heavenly Earth Elixir hadn’t matured yet. It seemed perfectly reasonable to use his Divine Skills to ripen it and claim it for himself.

If I dig up this cornerstone skillfully enough, it’ll surely be done without anyone, not even gods or spirits, noticing.

How to break the Formation? The Boundary-breaking Talisman could forcibly breach the Formation. However, the Formation was extremely complex. A cursory glance earlier had revealed it contained an Array Spirit.

If the Array Spirit alerted its master, he feared he would be exposed. Not all Formations possessed Array Spirits; only those of Fifth Rank and above did.

The Five Treasures Bewildering God Formation he had purchased from the Spirit Treasure Sect barely qualified as having an Array Spirit, using a Spirit Treasure as its core and the Spirit Treasure Will as the formation’s eye and Array Spirit.

Based on Jia Ren’s proficiency in the Formation Path, he could tell this wasn’t an Array Spirit created through a shortcut like using a Spirit Treasure; it was a genuine Array Spirit.

Haha, it’s a good thing there’s an Array Spirit! Without it, I’d have to resort to brute force to break the Formation. This matter was best left to his main body to handle; surely, he could resolve it neatly.

Jia Ren stepped out of the Cultivation Room within the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl. He used the Mirror Flower Divine Moon in combination with the Bewildering Spirit Bead to create a powerful illusion to invade and influence the Array Spirit. The presence of an Array Spirit was precisely what gave him an opening.

Open the Formation at once!

In the illusion, a slender man stood outside the Formation. He wore a Cyan Daoist Robe with no sect insignia, radiating the Spiritual Power fluctuations of a Lianxu Stage cultivator.

Jia Ren looked at the figure manifested by the Array Spirit’s illusion. The man’s face was unfamiliar; he wasn’t one of the thirteen Void Refining Stage cultivators who had entered the Spirit Treasure Sect’s territory.

Who was this person? Could he be the cultivator who stole the Jiao Dragon King’s Egg?

Jia Ren recalled that Ancestor Ji Kong had learned this information accidentally when he killed the Flood Dragon, which was how Jia Ren knew the Spirit Treasure Sect wasn’t the only one aware of the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm. This person must have discovered the Heavenly Earth Elixir, the Xuling Flower, and specifically left this Formation behind.

If this Formation had been the work of a high-level cultivator from the Spirit Treasure Sect, he would inevitably feel uneasy about taking it. But if it belonged to an outsider cultivator, he had no such psychological burden.

The Array Spirit didn’t respond, seemingly hesitating. "Don’t you even recognize me?!" Jia Ren roared angrily within the illusion. Startled, the Array Spirit hurriedly opened an entrance, allowing him to stroll in confidently.
