Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 596 - 591: The body of the King of a Thousand Beasts, Birth and Ancestral Return_1
A massive Spirit Stone, the size of a stone house, had been hollowed out and its interior filled with blood.
The Demonic Blood, of various colors, could not merge.
Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Grasses were soaked within, their medicinal properties continuously infusing the pool.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body was an advanced Body Refinement secret technique. To begin, one needed a foundation in Body Refinement, at the very least comparable to a Magical Treasure.
It was divided into four stages: Ten Spirit Beasts, Hundred Spirit Beasts, Thousand Spirit Beasts, and the highest, Ten Thousand Spirit Beast King.
This corresponded to the quantity of different Spirit Beast Bloods involved.
Jia Ren possessed the foundation of the Treasure Light Body Refining Technique, and his physique was comparable to a Supreme Spirit Treasure.
He wasted no time, cultivating the first to the third stages simultaneously to save time.
Since the founding of the Taming Demon Sect, no one had ever made such a significant leap.
With the aid of Spiritual Medicines, various kinds of Magical Beast Blood gradually merged, signifying that the harmonization of the Thousand Spirit Blood was complete.
He took out the final Jade Vase, pouring the golden liquid into the Thousand Spirit Blood Pool.
This was the finishing touch—True Dragon Blood!
To help his master refine the Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body, Jin Sheng naturally spared no expense.
The True Dragon Blood was like the sovereign of all blood; other bloods retreated at its approach, showing no sign of merging.
The last few main ingredients were tossed in. They were gradually absorbed by the True Dragon Blood, which in turn affected the other Thousand Spirit Blood, tinting all the blood with a trace of gold.
"It’s done!"
Jia Ren shed all excess clothing, leaped forth, and plunged naked into the blood pool.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body!"
He sat cross-legged in the center of the blood pool, activating his Secret Techniques and Divine Abilities.
Strands of Spirit Blood gradually seeped through his skin, vying to burrow into his flesh.
Unlike the Thousand Spirit Beast Blood of the Taming Demon Sect, after the ancestral regression through the Ancestor Beast Holy Pill, the Demonic Blood Jia Ren used was of much higher quality overall.
Even at the Thousand Spirit Beast Body stage, Jia Ren’s version was not on the same level as that of the Taming Demon Sect.
The higher the quality of the Spirit Beast Blood, the more Spiritual Power it contained, and the more domineering it was.
Absorbing the blood of Divine Beasts and thousands of high-quality Exotic Beasts at once placed a tremendous strain and test on the body.
His skin and flesh felt as if they were being gnawed by a thousand beasts. The biting sensation penetrated bone and heart, making it almost unbearable and inciting an overwhelming urge to stop this Divine Skill immediately.
Jia Ren multitasked, activating the Taiqing Forgetful Heart Secret Technique and focusing his attention into his Second Heart.
He became a detached observer, looking down upon the process, unharmed by the biting agony.
As time slowly passed, the Spirit Blood in the Thousand Spirit Blood Pool gradually diminished, its color fading as all its vital essence was absorbed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body.
Jia Ren slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched his body.
His skin and flesh were robust, his muscles bulged, and his qi and blood were exceedingly rich.
Next, he needed to digest and absorb the Spirit Beast Blood, making it a perfect part of his body. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The Thousand Spirit Body was not so simple; it did not end with just one soak or one absorption of Demonic Blood.
It was a slow, continuous process, requiring soaking every few days until the power of the bloodlines transformed the flesh and penetrated deep into the marrow.
Even at the entry-level, manifesting the Thousand Beasts King Body posed no problem.
With a thought from Jia Ren, the strength of the absorbed Demonic Blood surfaced. His eyes turned faintly gray as his body gradually became covered with Golden Dragon Scales, sharp horns, tiger claws, and a snake tail.
With another thought, these changes slowly receded. A pair of blue wings grew from his back, his skin became covered in fine, long fur, his claws resembled those of an eagle, and his eyes gleamed with golden light.
The Thousand Beasts King Body could combine a thousand different Magical Beast Bloods, arranging various kinds of blood for different combinations.
It endowed the cultivator with the abilities of the corresponding Spirit Beasts.
The first combination bestowed abilities such as Absolute Golden Dragon Scales, the Source of Thunder Horn, Wind-Tearing Claws, the Earth-Splitting Tail, and Petrifying Eyes.
The unique power in the Spirit Blood strengthened the body.
The body improved with the strength of the Thousand Beasts King Body.
The second form possessed abilities from different Magical Beasts, such as Sky-Splitting Wings, Hawk’s Ultimate Claw, Unceasing Wind, and Insightful Eyes.
To confront different enemies, one could summon the corresponding Demonic Blood and abilities depending on the situation.
However, this was merely a transitional measure.
The true final form of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body was when the blood of many Divine Beasts converged into one, manifesting entirely as Divine Beast forms.
The combat state can change unpredictably, mastering the abilities of many Spirit Beasts. This Divine Skill is indeed extraordinary.
Jia Ren had not expected the Taming Demon Sect to possess such a Divine Skill. It was truly beyond his expectations, its power far surpassing ordinary Great Divine Powers.
Of course, this was just his perception.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body was not very popular within the Taming Demon Sect.
Although the sect could gather ten thousand demons, ninety-nine percent were low-rank Magical Beasts. Incorporating them into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body did not bring about much change.
The quality was too poor. The qualitative change brought about by mere quantity offered minimal benefit to High-Order Cultivators.
The power of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body was not prominent, and it did not have a great reputation, far less than the Taming Demon Sect’s fame for controlling Magical Beasts.
In the Mysterious Realm, Magical Beasts were waning, and many powerful beast bloodlines had become extinct. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body was not suitable for the current era; its potential was too limited.
Had it not been so, Wen Ren Zong Zhu, in his Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body state, would not have had his head exploded by a mere flick.
Jia Ren had regression-type Elixirs. In the future, he would use a large number of Divine Beast bloodlines as the main component to support the Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body.
In ancient times, the Mysterious Realm was abundant with Magical Beasts. Even then, the creator of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body would not have dared to dream of such extravagance. Jia Ren, however, enjoyed using the blood of many Divine Beasts and already extinct Exotic Beasts to refine his Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body.
Many miracles converged within a single body; only a Myriad Transformation Beast King embodying Divine Skills could surpass Great Divine Powers.
In the time that followed, Jia Ren immersed himself in the Thousand Spirit Beast Blood while studying the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure Law.
The Insect External Incarnation, Xuan Beast Avatar, and Second Nascent Soul were not idle either. They continued to study and document unfamiliar Ancestral Demon Beasts, verifying their capabilities.
Assessing the potential value of the Ancestral Demon Beasts ensured that they were utilized to their fullest.
It was difficult to guarantee that Exotic Beasts like the Holy Infant Carp and Qingjin God Shrimp, capable of bringing unimaginable fortune, would not appear.
「In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.」
Jia Ren had just finished immersing himself in the Thousand Spirit Beast Blood when his Xuan Beast Avatar transmitted some good news.
The Li Feng had hatched!
The Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl had a region specifically reserved for the Separation Birds, where avian creatures flew and chased ripples in the water.
The core location was a small island. This was the central area where the Separation Birds lived, reigning like kings of all birds.
A phoenix-like bird with four-colored feathers flapped its sparse plumage, its newly opened eyes surveying the new world around it.
A Seventh-order Separation Bird cautiously protected it beneath itself, warily eyeing the intruder who had entered its home, afraid that its child would be taken away again.
The newly born Li Feng examined the wingless, seemingly deformed Jia Ren.
"You’ve worked hard!"
"You need to keep striving!"
Jia Ren tossed a specially dosed Holy Infant Breath Pill to the Seventh-order Separation Bird as encouragement.
The Seventh-order Separation Bird, smelling the familiar aroma, swallowed it in one gulp.
As the medicinal power unfolded, it felt a certain desire being aroused and glared at Jia Ren resentfully before going to look for an old flame.
The look it left behind, and the message received via the Heart Language Technique, both warned Jia Ren not to touch its child.
"Little guy, stick with me, and you’ll have worms to eat!"
Jia Ren threw some larvae in front of the Li Feng. The little one pecked them up voraciously, its appetite whetted.
With the worm bait as an opening, establishing a Spirit Control Contract to take away the Li Feng was effortless.
The Spirit Control Contract was also a secret technique of the Taming Demon Sect, far more robust than the previous Spirit Contract and less likely to encounter issues.
It replaced the Spirit Contract and became the core technique of taming demons.
Once the contract was successfully established, Jia Ren took out an Ancestral Bird Holy Pill specially tailored for the Li Feng.
The magical power of this pill was so immense that when it appeared, hundreds of birds came flocking.
The Seventh-order Separation Bird, busy with its previous engagement, stopped midway, abandoned the resentful Male Phoenix Bird, and flew back to swallow the pill eagerly.
The Li Feng, though small, also felt an instinctual craving and decisively swallowed the pill.
Like other Magical Beasts that had ingested an Ancestral Return Holy Pill, vast flames gradually gathered, transforming it into a crimson fire egg.
Having just been born, it became an egg once more.
Although the Li Feng had swallowed the pill, the birds attracted to the scene were unwilling to disperse; they wanted to divide and consume the Li Feng.
Jia Ren watched the Seventh-order Separation Bird flying back, worried that it might harm its own child.
"Do you have another pill like that? Give me one, and the child is yours."
The Seventh-order Separation Bird was not lacking in wisdom. It understood the covetous nature of humans and knew it could not protect its offspring.
It would rather sell its child for some benefits.
"If you give birth to ten broods, I’ll give you one," Jia Ren said.
"I’ll also grant you the honorary title of Phoenix Mother."
He fully promoted birth incentives; the more the Seventh-order Separation Bird gave birth, the better—it would strengthen and enlarge the Phoenix lineage.
The Seventh-order Separation Bird was not interested in the title of Phoenix Mother, but the lure of the specially made Ancestral Bird Holy Pill was irresistible. The Seventh-order Separation Bird went back to its unfinished task.
"Guard it well. No mistakes must happen!"
Jia Ren instructed the Insect External Incarnation and vigorously waved his hand. Space trembled, and the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl isolated a specific area just for the Li Feng.
In the space, there seemed to be invisible walls; although it appeared close at hand, it was out of reach.
The birth of the Phoenix had already been scheduled. Next would be the Vermilion Bird.
The hatching of a Sixth Rank Flame Sparrow’s offspring occurred only a short while after the Seventh-order Separation Bird’s, with only a half-month wait before the Flame Sparrow hatched.
Its feathers were the same as a regular Flame Sparrow, apart from a distinctive tuft of white feathers on its head.
A Sixth Rank Magical Beast had used the Holy Infant Breath Pill to increase the potential of its offspring’s bloodline, but it could not outdo the Li Feng born from a Seventh-order Separation Bird that had also taken a Holy Infant Breath Pill.
Everything was within reason.
However, its bloodline was still superior to that of Mo Lin before its ancestral regression, enough to demonstrate that the medicinal potency of the Holy Infant Breath Pill was much stronger than imagined.
Jia Ren fed it a high-potency version of the Ancestral Bird Holy Pill. Seeing the Flame Sparrow enter the state of ancestral regression, the weight in his heart finally lifted.
The Phoenix Flame is meant to replace the Wicked Flame of the Phoenix Flame Tail Fish in the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, perhaps aiding in the advancement of the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower to a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.
The Southern Ming Separation Fire of the Vermilion Bird, on the other hand, is critical for resolving foreign Spiritual Power, freeing the Zhenjie Xuanstone, and advancing the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.
The Yin Five Elements Spiritual Medicine also relies on the Southern Ming Separation Fire for resolution.
Its importance was profound. Failure in ancestral regression would increase the time and difficulty of advancing to the Body Integration Realm.
If the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower successfully ascended to a Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, the quantity of Sacrificial Fire provided would greatly increase, reducing the time needed to refine Spiritual Treasures and more swiftly enhancing his combat strength.
The three avatars constantly monitored the Phoenix and Vermilion Bird to ensure that the ancestral regression encountered no abnormalities.
Meanwhile, Jia Ren focused on studying the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure Law without any distractions.
