Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 590 - 585: Domain of the Dead Spirit, the Sect’s Forsaken Child_1
Jia Ren decided to turn this area into an Extinguishing Spirit Zone, and the current actions were just the beginning.
The range of the Dusk Treasured Light continued to expand, reaching the limits of the Six Paths of Doomsday Treasure Glow in a short time.
Ten thousand li!
This area could not satisfy him, yet it was already at its limit.
Only the Seven or Eight Paths of Doomsday Treasure Glow might increase the upper limit and space.
Jia Ren changed his position several times, greedily consuming nature’s spiritual energy, and gradually transformed the fifty thousand li territory of the Taming Demon Sect into an Extinguishing Spirit Zone.
Within this region, one could not feel any Spiritual Energy, as if plunged into the Age of Dusk.
The Spiritual Energy from other regions slowly flowed towards this place, like river water irrigating a lower land.
This phenomenon was rare, and the trickle of flowing Spiritual Energy was not enough to solve the desolation of the Age of Dusk lands.
The Taming Demon Sect and the cultivators who came to this place were completely dumbfounded.
It was as if they had returned to a few months ago, fleeing towards other regions, as usual.
The prosperity that the Taming Demon Sect had just gained vanished in an instant.
An Extinguishing Spirit Zone could not nurture cultivators, let alone support a cultivator family or a first-rate cultivation sect.
The foundation built over countless years could only be abandoned as the Taming Demon Sect had no choice but to leave their home and consider relocating their sect.
With masters already dominating every major region of the Mysterious Realm, no matter where they moved, the Great Sects would not consent, and war would surely ensue.
The Taming Demon Sect had lost a Body Integration Realm Sect Master and, during the Soul Extinction Storm, had their Spiritual Power completely emptied, with no chance of recovery for a long time; they were certain to fall in realm.
How could they possibly have the strength to seize others’ territories? They could only bully weaker sects and forces.
After this battle, the fall of the Taming Demon Sect from the ranks of the first-rate sects was a foregone conclusion.
"How did it become an Extinguishing Spirit Zone?"
"What on earth happened to the territory of the Taming Demon Sect?"
Spies from various forces sent their people to the territory of the Taming Demon Sect, feeling the lack of any Spiritual Energy within its fifty thousand li.
It was as if a terrifying Spiritual Energy beast had opened its massive Taotie maw and swallowed all the nature’s spiritual energy in the region.
What kind of monstrous beast could this be?
It was unheard of in the Mysterious Realm’s history.
The few Exotic Beasts that liked to devour Spiritual Energy were long extinct, and their range of influence was not even one ten-thousandth of the Taming Demon Sect’s.
Those who inquired from the informed heard varied accounts—some claimed to have seen a Sky-reaching Giant, others had seen terrifying beasts, and still others boldly stated they had witnessed an Immortal descending upon the mortal world.
The Taming Demon Sect’s sins were so great that divine punishment had descended upon them.
The rumors spread more wildly, making it hard to glimpse the truth.
The initiator of it all slipped into the underground depths outside the Taming Demon Sect’s Marketplace and hid inside the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.
As soon as Jia Ren entered the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, he was astonished by the dense nature’s spiritual energy.
The sky was misty, and the mist formed spiritual rain condensed from Spiritual Liquid, falling continuously from the sky.
The ground was dotted with small puddles, each filled with pure Spiritual Liquid.
Rivers and lakes were like seas of Spiritual Energy, where countless Spirit Fish leaped for joy, as if celebrating the intense nature’s spiritual energy.
Huh, there’s an extra lake...
A spirit lake formed by the condensation of Spiritual Liquid!
In a short period, the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The nature’s spiritual energy from the fifty thousand li territory of the Taming Demon Sect was completely absorbed by the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower into the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.
An unimaginable quantity of nature’s spiritual energy had gathered here, far exceeding a hundredfold of what was plundered from the Tianling Secret Realm.
The flow of nature’s spiritual energy from the outside world far surpassed what sprung forth from the Spirit Veins by more than tenfold.
The Spirit Veins are not exhaling Spiritual Energy but instead have begun to absorb it...
An extremely rare event was happening inside the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl: Spiritual Energy nourishment.
Such an occurrence would only happen when Spiritual Energy reached a certain density. Over thousands and tens of thousands of years, Spiritual Energy would gather in a certain area and form a Spirit Vein.
The density of Spiritual Energy inside the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl far exceeded that of the Mysterious Realm’s ancient times, making this change unsurprising.
The Spirit Veins, nourished by the rich nature’s spiritual energy within the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, began to absorb it in reverse, advancing towards a higher quality Spirit Vein.
For who knows how many years, the Mysterious Realm hadn’t witnessed such an event, and except for the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, it was impossible for such a thing to reoccur elsewhere.
The increase in the amount of nature’s spiritual energy within the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl was a fortunate event for Jia Ren as it allowed him to speed up the cultivation of the Heavenly Treasure Spirit Cultivation Technique.
Jia Ren had not forgotten the most important matter at hand; he took out the Demon Taming Bag, and two Flame Sparrows flew out.
Their bond of ownership was dissolved, leaving no worries about future troubles.
As soon as the two Flame Sparrows left the Demon Taming Bag, they sensed the extremely intense nature’s spiritual energy of the outside world and couldn’t help but chirp excitedly.
Unlike purely wild Magical Beasts, after being tamed by humans for a long time, they held no aversion to humans, similar to the Fathead Fish, making them not difficult to tame.
Jia Ren took out two Holy Infant Breath Pills and tossed them to the Flame Sparrows. Watching them consume the elixirs and begin their breeding activities, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Take good care of them, don’t let anything go wrong."
The Insect External Incarnation and the Xuan Beast Avatar appeared, each attending to this matter.
The former manipulated the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl to split the space, aiding the two Flame Sparrows in forming an undisturbed area.
The Seventh Order Separation Phoenix and the Flame Sparrows, both being fire-type birds, might squabble, so it was prudent to segregate them in advance to avoid trouble.
Once everything was on the right track, Jia Ren then took out several Spiritual Treasures and silently operated the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art.
When the cultivation realm was still at the Nascent Soul Stage or the Divinity Transformation Stage, the speed at which the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art absorbed Spiritual Treasures to enhance one’s cultivation level was passable. However, after reaching the Lianxu Stage, the Spiritual Power provided by the Spiritual Treasures was too meager to be satisfying.
Jia Ren didn’t have an abundance of spare Spiritual Treasures, so the frequency of using the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art decreased, and his proficiency level wasn’t high.
Ascending to the Body Integration Realm within a hundred years, and spending no small amount of time assisting the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower to advance to a Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, unavoidably reduced the time for cultivation improvement.
To accelerate the rise in cultivation level, reliance on other methods was a necessity.
The previous battles had been too brutal, with the vast majority of treasures destroyed along with the fractured space, leaving only a scant few items obtained from Wen Ren Li.
Devouring the several Spiritual Treasures along with some old inventory on hand, the increase in cultivation level was barely satisfactory.
The cultivation speed is still too slow!
The Xue Family and the Taming Demon Sect still possess quite a few Spiritual Treasures. Rather than benefiting others, it’s better to benefit oneself.
The Xue Family’s only Body Integration Realm cultivator had fallen, and the Taming Demon Sect had lost a Body Integration Realm cultivator and a Seventh-order Demon Beast, suffering significant damage.
Add to that the effects of the Extinguishing Spirit Zone, their losses were heavy.
In the Mysterious Realm where the law of the jungle prevails, with the decline in strength of the Xue Family and the Taming Demon Sect, surrounding predators didn’t hesitate to tear them apart.
Having put in a considerable effort and ’hard work’ to take down two Body Integration Realm cultivators, it was only fair not to let their treasures go to others for nothing.
Jia Ren arranged for the Flame Sparrows and didn’t linger in the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, taking it deep underground with him.
「Five days had passed since the great battle.」
Nature’s spiritual energy still showed no signs of recovery, becoming a rare Extinguishing Spirit Zone in the Mysterious Realm.
Jia Ren turned into an Escape Light to fly, and without nature’s spiritual energy for additional replenishment, his consumption of Spiritual Power was particularly fast.
Fortunately, with the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower and the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl supplying Spiritual Energy, the impact was not significant.
Without spending much time, he reached the Spirit-Taming Marketplace once again.
The Spirit-Taming Marketplace had changed significantly; the protective formation barrier that guarded the marketplace was nowhere to be seen, and fresh battle scars marred the city walls.
The marketplace was much quieter than in his memory, with only the occasional hustling figures to be seen.
The cultivators of the Spirit-Taming Marketplace had left, replaced by mortals.
As long as they were not in utterly uninhabitable lands, mortals could survive anywhere; the absence of Spiritual Energy hardly affected them, so they chose to settle down here.
Passing by, many of the marketplace’s shops were devoid of treasures, having been taken over by the mortals for their residences.
Jia Ren did not linger in the Spirit-Taming Marketplace, instead using his Spiritual Power to hurry towards the Taming Demon Sect.
The erstwhile first-rate Sect’s territory had become a paradise for low-order magical beasts.
The cultivators of the Taming Demon Sect had their Spiritual Power completely depleted by the Dusk Treasured Light, nearly reduced to mortals. Although they attempted to recover with elixirs and Spiritual Power supplementation, with no cultivation, it was virtually impossible to escape the Dusk Zone.
Not knowing the extent of the Dusk Zone’s effects, it was natural to conserve precious Spirit Stones and Elixirs for emergencies.
The magical beasts they couldn’t take with them were left to their own devices, abandoned here.
Though the beasts had no demonic power within them, their formidable physical bodies remained, easily making them the new overlords of the Taming Demon Sect.
However, such a state couldn’t last.
In this Age of Dusk Extinguishing Spirit Zone, devoid of Spiritual Energy, the constant loss of it without sustained replenishment would, before long, cause them to gradually lose their extraordinary powers and revert to ordinary beasts.
I’m a step too late!
Catching up to them shouldn’t be hard.
Jia Ren released his divine consciousness to roughly sense his surroundings and faintly caught the tail end of something yet within the range of his divine consciousness.
The movement of a Sect was different from an individual’s travel; it had to take into account the overall pace, inevitably slowing down due to low-order cultivators or warships.
He proceeded to use the Five Metals Divine Escape, utterly unconcerned with the loss of Spiritual Power, and accelerated towards the area.
Before he arrived, the sounds of fighting and battle cries had already erupted.
"The Taming Demon Sect’s day has come; today is the day of its destruction!"
"The Qian Family served the Taming Demon Sect and ended up with the annihilation of their clan; it’s time to settle old scores."
"The Taming Demon Sect robbed the Infinite Sect of its Secret Realm, taking away your dog lives!"
For a Sect to rise, it was inevitable to absorb other Sects and clans, to fortify themselves.
It would have been one thing if the Taming Demon Sect was still strong; those seeking revenge would not have thrown themselves against it but would have waited for the right moment.
Now, the Sect Master of the Taming Demon Sect was dead, another Body Integration Realm cultivator had left the Sect seventy years ago and had not since returned.
With no Body Integration Realm cultivators in place, it was the best opportunity.
Beyond the cultivators with deep-seated vendettas, there were those who coveted the wealth of the Taming Demon Sect, who came to have their share of the spoils.
Jia Ren glanced over and couldn’t help shaking his head. Pawns!
Several warships appeared to be carrying a substantial amount of treasures, with many cultivators on board, but there were only two elderly cultivators at the early-stage Lianxu and mostly low-order cultivators.
This was a ploy by the Taming Demon Sect to mislead others. The warships were using a concealment formation that wouldn’t be easily seen through.
Once the formation was broken and the truth revealed, it would be too late.
They were the sacrificial pieces of the Sect; the main force had already fled with the treasures securely.
