Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 538 - 533: Raid on the Base, Jikong Demonstrates His Power_1

Chapter 538: Chapter 533: Raid on the Base, Jikong Demonstrates His Power_1

"The Lingbao Sect has existed for far too long; it’s time for its destruction!"

"Is any sect in this world truly immortal? The Lingbao Sect has endured long enough to be recorded in the annals of the Mysterious Realm. Indeed, it should only exist within those annals now."

Dozens of Xuantiandao Sect cultivators gathered in Lingyun Marketplace, slaughtering the Lingbao Sect Cultivators defending it and plundering the resources they claimed as their own.

"The treasures and resources amassed by the Lingbao Sect over countless years are truly enviable. For such a large sect to have no one reach the Mahayana Realm is like a child carrying gold through a marketplace—vulnerable and an easy target. Many sects wish to lay hands on the Lingbao Sect, far more than just our Xuantiandao Sect."

The Xuantiandao Sect cultivators gazed towards the Lingbao Sect’s direction, an air of triumphant vengeance about them.

The Lingbao Sect, having existed for an immense period and specializing in crafting Spiritual Treasures, had accumulated a vast hoard of resources over the eons.

Many coveted these resources, but most sects either had reservations or were constrained by rivals, understanding that a single move could trigger a cascade of consequences.

After the Xuantiandao Sect grew in power, its actions became notably aggressive, making little effort to conceal its greed for the Lingbao Sect’s wealth and eagerly seeking an opportunity to strike.

This very impatience led the Xuantiandao Sect to suffer a major setback when one of their recently promoted Mahayana Realm cultivators perished.

Losing more than half of their key members was a severe blow to their strength.

The Xuantiandao Sect spent over a hundred years recovering some of its former strength.

Through planted spies, they learned that over the past two hundred years, the Lingbao Sect had continually lost talented individuals, resulting in a lack of successors.

As the Lingbao Sect failed to produce any new Mahayana Realm cultivators, an increasing number of sects grew restless.

The leading Demon Cultivator sect, Beyond the Heavens, unable to restrain itself, dispatched members to pillage Lingbao Sect shops on several occasions, seizing a portion of their territory.

The Xuantiandao Sect, harboring a profound enmity towards the Lingbao Sect, naturally joined this ’feast’ of carving up the Lingbao Sect, sending cultivators to invade its territories and markets.

Having learned from their previous costly mistake—the loss of a Mahayana Realm cultivator—the Xuantiandao Sect adopted a less aggressive approach, opting instead to slowly chip away at their target.

They intended to drain the Lingbao Sect’s lifeblood to bolster their own strength, joining the pack of wolves to devour this aged and ailing tiger.

While the resources gained from partitioning were less than if they had taken everything độc quyền, this method offered greater safety.

The cultivation resources should be transported back to the sect. After all this time, that old undying fellow Taiyuan must have already ascended to the Immortal Realm. a few of them thought, glancing towards the Lingbao Sect.

Jia Ren approached stealthily, using the Bewildering Spirit Bead and Mirror Flower Divine Moon to conceal his movements.

Retaliate against the Xuantiandao Sect alone?

He lacked the power to wreak havoc within the Xuantiandao Sect. If he encountered Ancestor Qingxuan, even escaping alive would be a monumental task.

The only feasible action was to eliminate the scoundrels who had invaded Lingbao Sect territory and were slaughtering indiscriminately.

He retrieved a vial of Thousand Mechanism Poison Lock. Approaching the Xuantiandao Sect’s encampment, he covertly administered the poison.

Give them a taste of their own medicine. If others give me one part, I’ll return it a hundredfold!

As an expert in poisons, Jia Ren had access to the Thousand Mechanism Poison Lock within the Lingbao Sect and had long since mastered its use.

The primary advantage of Thousand Mechanism Poison Lock was its colorless and odorless nature, allowing it to blend seamlessly with nature’s spiritual energy. Once inhaled along with this energy, it would invade the Divine Soul.

This poison was incredibly insidious; victims often remained unaware until the moment of death.

Jia Ren controlled the amount of poison released, ensuring the Thousand Mechanism Poison Lock remained confined to the Xuantiandao Sect’s encampment, thereby avoiding harm to innocent cultivators.

After dispersing the poison, he quietly awaited the outcome.

The cultivators in the encampment, oblivious to the danger, silently inhaled the Thousand Mechanism Poison Lock.

Jia Ren waited quietly for half a day, intending to enter the base and collect the spoils once they had died from the poison.

A Xuantiandao Sect cultivator on guard duty sensed something amiss and yelled, "Enemy attack!"

Regrettably, they realized this too late.

The cultivator who raised the alarm froze on the spot, his Divine Soul extinguished.

The encampment fell deathly silent, devoid of any movement.

There should be no one left alive now...

Jia Ren infiltrated using the Bewildering Spirit Bead and Mirror Flower Divine Moon. Black Demon Mosquitoes materialized, precisely delivering finishing blows to the fallen Xuantiandao Sect cultivators.

Once the Sound Seizing Demon Mosquitoes had eliminated all the downed Xuantiandao Sect cultivators, Jia Ren revealed himself. He collected their treasures and then used flames to incinerate the bodies, erasing all traces.

The deaths of so many Xuantiandao Sect cultivators will undoubtedly attract the sect’s attention.

I must act quickly and eliminate as many of these invaders as possible.

Having dealt with one outpost, Jia Ren headed directly for a second market.

Just as he was about to release the Thousand Mechanism Poison Lock, he sensed a disturbance and stared intently into the distance.

An alert Xuantiandao Sect cultivator detected a powerful Spiritual Power Fluctuation and hastily sent a warning to their encampment: "Enemy attack!"

"Scum of the Xuantiandao Sect, you’ve finally crawled out of your shells! For daring to offend my Lingbao Sect, you will die!"

A resonant voice boomed as the Void abruptly shattered. The Xuantiandao Sect cultivators within the outpost were crushed into meat paste before they could react, annihilated along with the collapsing space.

Ji Kong Palm?! Has Master arrived?

Recognizing the familiar Divine Skill, Jia Ren felt a strange mix of emotions.

A figure in a golden robe stood suspended in the sky, the robe billowing in the fierce wind.

He was secretly relieved he hadn’t approached this Xuantiandao Sect outpost; otherwise, he might have been mistakenly harmed by his own master.

Jia Ren hesitated for a moment but decided against revealing himself.

After all, he had secretly slipped out of the Source Treasure Cave Heaven; his current status was problematic. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

How could he explain this to his master?

Furthermore, he had relied on the power of Jin Sheng, the True Dragon, to leave the Mysterious Realm—a fact that absolutely could not be exposed.

Ultimately, he watched as Ancestor Ji Kong obliterated the outpost and then departed with a flourish.

After destroying the outpost, Ancestor Ji Kong transformed into an Escape Light and sped towards another Xuantiandao Sect encampment.

He wreaked havoc openly and brazenly. The Xuantiandao Sect was not blind; they received news of his attacks immediately.

The outpost Jia Ren had destroyed was also attributed to Ancestor Ji Kong.

Just as Ancestor Ji Kong reached the third market outpost, the Xuantiandao Sect cultivators there received an advance warning.

"Lingbao Sect cultivators are attacking!"

The Xuantiandao Sect cultivators’ expressions changed drastically. A brilliant white light emanated from their Formation, securely shielding the dozens of cultivators within.

However, when facing a Body Integration Realm cultivator unleashing top-tier Divine Skills...

The Formation proved as fragile as paper before the Ji Kong Palm. It, along with the cultivators inside, was smashed into a bloody pulp—a single strike wiped them all out.

The disparity between High-Order Cultivators and mid-tier cultivators was immense.

Even ten Void Refining Stage cultivators would struggle against a single Body Integration Realm expert. Cultivators at the Body Integration Realm could fight or flee as they pleased.

Before them, ordinary Lianxu Stage and Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators were no different from Miscellaneous Fish, easily crushed with a single palm.

For Great Sects, Mahayana Realm cultivators were akin to... nuclear weapons in the modern world.

If others possessed them and you did not, you naturally held no sway.

"Ancestor Ji Kong?! How dare you ambush my Xuantiandao Sect!" A figure in azure robes shot across the Void. Seeing the still-unstable spatial black hole at the stronghold, he was enraged to the point of his eyes nearly splitting.

The Ji Kong Palm and Jikong’s Finger had been devastatingly effective in past great battles between the Xuantiandao Sect and the Lingbao Sect. They were undoubtedly among the most powerful spatial Divine Skills.

Only Ancestor Ji Kong of the Lingbao Sect possessed such mastery and would dare to come alone.

"Indeed. Killing Ancestor Ji Kong would sever one of the Lingbao Sect’s arms," another voice declared. A second figure appeared, clad in a Grey Taoist Robe and exuding a potent, sinister aura.

A Body Integration Realm cultivator from Beyond the Heavens!

The Xuantiandao Sect and Beyond the Heavens had already joined forces. Although the two sects were usually at odds, they had agreed that if the Lingbao Sect attacked to reclaim resources, they would assist each other and confront the enemy together.

"You slaughtered disciples of my Xuantiandao Sect! Today will be your death day!"

"Divine Skill: Summon Wind!"

The Xuantiandao Sect cultivator waved his sleeve, and a hurricane swept in, stirring the very winds of the heavens.

The Heavenly Winds contained invisible blades, possessing astonishing lethality.

Ancestor Ji Kong staggered from the blast. A radiant light of the Five Elements flared around him, manifesting a Five-Colored Ruyi.

This was yet another Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure.

After advancing to the Body Integration Realm, the Lingbao Sect had bestowed upon him a new Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure: the Five-Colored Ruyi, a defensive Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ancestor Ji Kong was fabulously wealthy, wielding four Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, with one rarely used.

"Divine Skill: Deviant Path!"

The cultivator from Beyond the Heavens, his palm radiating malevolent energy, pointed at Ancestor Ji Kong from afar.

Those struck by Deviant Path would have their minds and spirits warped; it wouldn’t be surprising if they suffered Qi Deviation and became lunatics.

However, the most crucial function of this Divine Skill was... to disrupt the target’s casting of other Divine Skills.

The more powerful the Divine Skill, the more precision it required, allowing for no errors.

Affected by the Deviant Path Divine Skill, Ancestor Ji Kong’s strongest Divine Skills—Law of Heaven and Earth and Jikong’s Finger—would be impossible to execute.

"My Lord, I am here to aid you! Rotation!"

A pitch-black moon wheel materialized. A sliver of black light coiled around Ancestor Ji Kong, and when the light dissipated, the power of the Deviant Path Divine Skill had been entirely absorbed by the moon wheel.

Freed from the influence of the Deviant Path Divine Skill, Ancestor Ji Kong faced no further interference when deploying his Spells and Divine Skills.

"Law of Heaven and Earth!"

A colossal amount of nature’s spiritual energy surged into Ancestor Ji Kong’s body, causing him to inflate like a balloon before their very eyes.

In mere moments, a three-thousand-zhang-tall giant stood where he had been.

"Three Heads and Six Arms!"

Three Heads and Six Arms was a perfect complement to Law of Heaven and Earth. Additional arms and heads sprouted, transforming him into a terrifying giant with three heads and six arms.

His aura was overwhelming, like an abyss, like a prison.

Though also Body Integration Realm cultivators, the other two could not withstand the oppressive might of Ancestor Ji Kong.

"Jikong Three Palms!"

Six arms rose, morphing into three colossal, sky-shielding palms that slammed down simultaneously.

It wasn’t that Ancestor Ji Kong didn’t want to use the more advanced Jikong Six Palms; rather, he could, at most, split his concentration five ways, allowing him to execute Ji Kong Palm thrice simultaneously.

The sky-obscuring Demon’s Palms descended, creating zones of spatial collapse wherever they passed, wielding power capable of destroying heavens and obliterating earths.

When Ji Kong Palm was executed in the Three-Heads-Six-Arms State empowered by Law of Heaven and Earth, its might escalated once more, rivaling that of a true Great Divine Power.

"Shining Heaven Divine Wind!"

The Xuantiandao Sect’s Body Integration Realm cultivator specialized in wind-based Divine Skills. Unleashing a Great Divine Power, his body transformed into a Shining Heaven Wind Spirit, merging with the divine wind to dodge the terrifying, world-destroying giant palms.

Despite not being directly hit by the three bombardments, he was still injured by the aftershocks of the Demon’s Palm, his face turning as pale as paper.

"Sun-Moon Cycle—Dark Night!"

The cultivator from Beyond the Heavens unleashed a Great Divine Power, transforming day into night, forming a damage-absorbing night curtain.

The three enhanced Ji Kong Palms were exceedingly powerful, far surpassing the defensive limit of Sun-Moon Cycle. They tore apart the night curtain, creating a hundred-li zone of shattered space.

The Demon Cultivator from Beyond the Heavens was blasted into the Void, his aura now undetectable, his fate unknown.

The three-thousand-zhang-tall giant gazed at the Xuantiandao Sect cultivator, extending a massive palm, bringing it down on him from afar.

"You think you’re worthy of being my enemy?!"
