Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 488 - 483: Law of Heaven and Earth, Different Jiao Yun_1

Chapter 488: Chapter 483: Law of Heaven and Earth, Different Jiao Yun_1

"Ahem, how did you all get here?"

Qing Ge had thought he could complete the task without anyone being the wiser, but unexpectedly... being caught by his fellow Sect’s Senior Brother Qingge while trying to keep it all to himself was indeed embarrassing.

Fortunately, Qing Ge had a thick skin and smiled. "I just remembered that I have a secret technique that might be able to restore the Jade Slip, and I was about to notify you all."

"You have excellent timing."

Zhuo Chengdao gaped, first glancing at Qing Ge and then sweeping his gaze over Jia Ren, before transmitting his voice, "Junior Brother Jia, how did you know Senior Brother Qingge could restore the Jade Slip?"

"A guess!"

"..."

Jia Ren wasn’t sure if Qing Ge could repair the Jade Slip; however, he possessed a method to restore it.

First, he had to confirm whether Senior Brother Qingge would come.

If he didn’t, Jia Ren would employ the Secret Techniques and Divine Abilities learned from the Corpse-Eating Bizarre Pill to restore the Jade Slip.

If he guessed correctly, it would be his own foresight.

"Liansheng Seal!"

Qing Ge raised his hand and cast a Jade Seal. A large pile of powder on the ground flew up, quickly gathering and reconstituting into the shape of the shattered Jade Slip.

It was identical to the original, without the slightest difference.

A new jade lotus appeared, and the Azure Jade Lotus flew up, landing on top of it, recording its content.

Qing Ge glanced over it and couldn’t help but stand dumbfounded.

This is truly tragic! Guang Wu immediately destroyed the best Divine Skill Jade Slip...

Had there not been a way to restore it, this earth-shattering Divine Skill would have been buried here, becoming a swan song.

Qing Ge’s expression was excited, and he could hardly hide the wild joy in his eyes.

From this, it was evident that the contents of the Jade Slip were extraordinary; otherwise, he would not have lost his composure like that.

Qing Ge took out a blank Jade Slip, inscribed two copies, and threw them toward the two men. "You’ll understand once you look."

Jia Ren and Zhuo Chengdao picked up their blank slips, their divine consciousness probing into them.

The two were no better than Qing Ge; their expressions were similarly filled with amazement.

The Great Divine Power, Law of Heaven and Earth!

The Law of Heaven and Earth combined with Three Heads and Six Arms was the signature technique of the deceased Cultivator, and the destroyed Jade Slip surprisingly contained the Law of Heaven and Earth.

The Law of Heaven and Earth is a top-tier Great Divine Power.

This Great Divine Power had been lost for a long time; they never expected to find its inheritance in the Ancient Cave Dwelling.

It had to be said, Senior Brother Guang Wu was truly careless, destroying the most supreme Great Divine Power Jade Slip right off the bat.

"The Law of Heaven and Earth is rare; how about we keep it a secret among the three of us?" Senior Brother Qingge suddenly suggested.

Great Divine Powers are few and far between in the Lingbao Sect, and their Ji Kong Lineage possessed no Great Divine Power. The best Divine Skill they could learn was the Ji Kong Palm.

This time, the treasures they gained from the Ancient Cave Dwelling were disappointing, and Senior Brother Qingge didn’t want the Law of Heaven and Earth to spread.

Zhuo Chengdao shook his head. "It’s fine for others, but I want to give a copy of this Divine Skill to our Master."

Ancestor Ji Kong was not only their Master but had also saved Zhuo Chengdao’s life. Deceiving others was one thing, but deceiving their Master... his conscience wouldn’t allow it.

Jia Ren did not speak; after all, he wasn’t the sole discoverer of this Divine Skill.

Ancestor Ji Kong was kind to his disciples. The mention of Master seemed to remind Qing Ge of the late Hui Ling; Senior Brother Qingge’s face showed a hint of shame, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Let’s do as Junior Brother says."

By doing so, however, the fact that he snuck out alone to hog the treasure would not stay hidden...

This matter thus came to an end.

With this, the last of the treasures from the Ancient Cave Dwelling had been divided and held no further value.

Jia Ren and Zhuo Chengdao left the Cave Dwelling, journeying onward.

"Junior Brother, how about we join forces to seek treasures?" Zhuo Chengdao suggested.

"I still have matters to take care of, so I’ll take my leave first."

The Treasure-seeking Mouse mustn’t be exposed; naturally, it had to be carefully concealed.

Even if Zhuo Chengdao would keep his secret and not leak it, in the Mysterious Realm where Secret Techniques and Divine Abilities abound, how could one guarantee absolute security?

A secret is best kept when few know it; the fewer people who know, the less likely it will be exposed.

Jia Ren bid farewell to Zhuo Chengdao, released the Treasure-seeking Mouse, and embarked on a treasure-hunting journey.

The Jiao Dragon Secret Realm was not lacking in resources. Not long after setting out, he came across a special Spiritual Material named Vajra Disc Rock, a rare gold and earth dual-element material suitable for refining gold and earth type Spiritual Treasures.

In the following time, they encountered several Flood Dragons, but alas, there was no sign of any Flood Dragon Eggs.

Flood Dragons have long reproductive cycles, ranging from a hundred to several hundred years before laying eggs, with each instance producing only one to three eggs on average.

Finding a Flood Dragon Egg really depended on luck.

The disciples of Ancestor Ji Kong’s lineage had arrived three years before him, and the treasures had already fallen into their hands.

Finding a Flood Dragon Egg of decent quality was not an easy task.

Until now, he had still found nothing.

If I can’t find a Flood Dragon Egg, I’ll have to pass on the news of the mysterious person to Master to appease his anger.

After Jia Ren had spent over a year in the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm, the Xuling Flower finally ripened.

The immature Xuling Flower appeared somewhat normal, but upon maturation, it became ethereal, as if existing on the boundary between nothingness and reality.

Harvesting the Xuling Flower was not an easy task. Without the proper herb-picking methods, one could not touch it and could only look on helplessly.

This, however, was not a problem for Jia Ren.

Wearing a pair of black gloves, he reached out and touched the elusive Xuling Flower.

The illusory purple flower transitioned from nothingness to reality, turning into an actual Spiritual Medicine.

This was a pair of Magical Treasure gloves that Jia Ren had refined specifically for the Xuling Flower, allowing him to harvest the Spiritual Medicine successfully.

He carefully placed the Xuling Flower into a wooden box and activated the sealing glyphs on it. Countless secret glyphs seemed to come to life, ensuring that none of the medicinal properties of the flower inside the box were lost.

Finally resolved!

By hastening the maturity of the Xuling Flower, he no longer needed to worry about constantly maintaining the Mirror Flower Divine Moon.

The harvest from the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm isn’t bad.

The Jiao Dragon Secret Realm could be called resource-rich. Initially, every few days, he could find a type of Spiritual Material, but unfortunately, he had arrived too late.

Even so, the harvest was still quite astonishing.

The Spiritual Materials, rare items, and Heavenly Earth Elixirs that Jia Ren obtained, together with what he gained from the Ancient Cave Dwelling, amounted to thirty-seven kinds in total.

The most precious was the Mingsheng Source, which he could easily exchange for a Heavenly Spirit Material. The second was the Xuling Flower, and the third was also a Heavenly Earth Elixir called the Dragon Scale Holy Fruit.

The Dragon Scale Holy Fruit is a Heavenly Earth Elixir that only grows in areas where Flood Dragons live in large numbers; consuming it strengthens one’s physique and personal power.

This item was decent; its value soared after he acquired the Divine Skill Three Heads and Six Arms and the Great Divine Power Law of Heaven and Earth.

The power of the Law of Heaven and Earth depends on a Cultivator’s physique and strength; the higher their Realm and the stronger their physique, the more terrifying the power unleashed.

Besides the three top treasures, the most precious of the subsequent finds were Supreme-grade Spiritual Materials, though he only obtained two kinds.

The rest were of general quality, middle- to low-grade Spiritual Materials.

Regrettably, the Flood Dragon Egg had not been found, which was indeed a significant disappointment.

It’s time to go back.

With fewer and fewer treasures of Spiritual Material level inside the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm, and the Insect External Incarnation not having found anything in over a month, he had no desire to stay any longer.

Jia Ren activated his Identity Token and left the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm.

Back at the Lingbao Sect, he went straight to Ancestor Ji Kong’s residence.

He sent a Sound Transmission Talisman inside, but there was no response for a long time.

Could Master be in closed-door cultivation, breaking through to the Body Integration Realm?

Jia Ren had no choice but to return to his Cave Dwelling. Without Ancestor Ji Kong acting as an intermediary, he pondered how to report the situation to the Sect.

"I am currently cultivating the Law of Heaven and Earth. Have you found the Flood Dragon Egg?"

Ancestor Ji Kong’s voice came through the Identity Token. Jia Ren went to Ancestor Ji Kong’s Cave Dwelling and promptly reported the good news.

"Master, I found the Jiao Dragon King’s Egg!"

Ancestor Ji Kong, angered, puffed his beard and glared, looking at Jia Ren with displeasure.

There was only one Jiao Dragon King’s Egg; had it not been so, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to acquire it.

"Nonsense! The Jiao Dragon King has been slain; how could it have had the chance to sire new offspring!"

Jia Ren deliberately kept him in suspense, smiling. "Master, are you sure there’s only one?"

Ancestor Ji Kong recalled when he first learned of the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm, knowing that someone had sneaked into it, which had consequently lured many Flood Dragons out of the Secret Realm, allowing them to discover the treasure land.

"You found the one who stole the dragon egg?"

The identity of this person remained unknown, and since they knew about the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm, they were a potential threat.

The Lingbao Sect planned to turn the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm into a resource and trial Secret Realm. A significant problem would arise if this person were to harm Lingbao Sect disciples or inform Sects hostile to Lingbao.

Finding this person was the key to neutralizing the threat.

Jia Ren briefly reported the matter to Ancestor Ji Kong, adding at the end, "If Master captures this person, you could gain a Flood Dragon with exceptional innate potential."

This should count as completing the task assigned by Master, right?

"I will handle this matter."

Having said that, Ancestor Ji Kong left in a hurry.

The remaining tasks were left to Ancestor Ji Kong; Jia Ren only needed to quietly await the outcome.

Initially, in the Jiao Dragon Secret Realm, he had thought about reporting the news.

At that point, he would have been personally involved.

Although protected by the Lingbao Sect’s experts, ensuring his safety, it would still involve taking risks.

Jia Ren chose the safest method, removing himself from the equation and simply waiting patiently for the outcome.

This approach posed the least risk and wouldn’t affect the credit he would receive.

I still need to do Artifact Refining for others; let’s refine the Ice Soul Spirit Pearl first.

He hadn’t forgotten the contract he had signed. Only by first refining the Ice Soul Spirit Pearl could he exchange it for the Heavenly Spirit Ancient Jade.

Trading the remaining two Spiritual Materials for Supreme-grade or other Spiritual Materials would be much easier than before.

Refining the Ice Soul Spirit Pearl wasn’t difficult; it was completed in four years. Without a doubt, another fine Spiritual Treasure had been crafted.

No sooner had he left the Refining Workshop than his Identity Token received a message.

The first message was from his Master: the thief had taken the bait set by the Lingbao Sect and had been captured on the spot.

The worst fear was that the other party wouldn’t take the bait, but once they did, facing the Lingbao Sect’s prepared experts, there was no chance of resistance.

Jia Ren went to Ancestor Ji Kong’s Cave Dwelling and saw his Master looking cheerful and in a good mood.

Next to him followed a Gold Flood Dragon with an extraordinary aura.

With Jia Ren’s insight, he recognized at a glance the formidable potential of the Gold Flood Dragon, seemingly of the same origin as Jin Sheng before its atavistic transformation.

Perhaps they were siblings, and two Jiao Dragon King’s Eggs had been laid.

They followed different masters; one remained a Flood Dragon, with only the strength of an early-stage Fourth Rank.

The other, however, had undergone atavism into a True Dragon and now... had impressively reached the mid-stage of the Fifth Rank, comparable to the Mid-Stage of Divinity Transformation.

Same origin, yet vastly different fates for these Flood Dragons.
