Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 700 - 694 The Truth of the Spirit Realm, Yang Chengcang_1

Void-level Strange Creature?! A Corpse-eating Bizarre with hundreds of odd abilities?!

It was not until this very moment that Jia Ren finally understood the unknown truth: the Void-level Strange Creature that had destroyed the Spirit Realm. To his surprise, it was the Corpse-eating Bizarre. This was the type of Bizarre Demon he had once considered refining into a Trickery Path Incarnation. The Corpse-eating Bizarre could devour other Bizarre Demons, continuously growing stronger and possessing inconceivable abilities. It absolutely had the highest potential for growth among Bizarre Demons, bar none. Jia Ren had been wary of this Bizarre Demon’s growth potential and had never refined one into a Trickery Path Incarnation. Unexpectedly, someone had done so a hundred thousand years ago.

The birth of the Void-Level Corpse-Eating Dao Gui led to the collapse of the Spirit Realm and the deaths of a Celestial Realm Descent True Immortal and over a hundred Mahayana Stage Cultivators. It was an unimaginable disaster! How could one possibly deal with such a potent Bizarre Demon? Jia Ren recognized that if they were at the same level, he would be no match for the Void-Level Corpse-Eating Dao Gui! How did the Corpse-eating Bizarre from the Mysterious Realm manage to escape unharmed?

Jia Ren quickly thought of the reason—most likely, this Corpse-Eating Bizarre was already sealed. The Void-Level Corpse-Eating Dao Gui couldn’t sense across realms and thus did not reach the Mysterious Realm. If that were not the case, once the Void-Level Corpse-Eating Dao Gui had annihilated the Spirit Realm, its next destination would have been the Mysterious Realm. The Mysterious Realm would have suffered the same fate as the Spirit Realm due to the existence of the Corpse-Eating Bizarre.

Now, where is the Void-Level Corpse-Eating Dao Gui? How far has it grown after a hundred thousand years?

Jia Ren felt somewhat relieved that after sealing it, he had never exposed it, nor had he refined it into a Trickery Path Incarnation. Otherwise, this terrifying Void-level Strange Creature would have descended upon the Mysterious Realm.

Mou Tianyuan truly lived up to his name as a Celestial Realm Descent True Immortal; his intelligence was far beyond what ordinary cultivators could compare. Merely revealing a bit was like uncovering a shocking secret. Jia Ren not only learned of the Bizarre Demon that brought ruin to the Spirit Realm but also knew the name of the destroyer—Yang Chengcang. For some reason, knowing this name unexpectedly brought a sense of unease to his heart. It felt like a contamination...

Jia Ren suddenly jolted, realizing the crux of the issue. The Corpse-Eating Bizarre must have devoured a Thought Bizarre and possessed the ability to grow stronger with every new piece of knowledge it obtained. Knowing its name is also a form of contamination. Mou Tianyuan deliberately informed him of the name of the Bizarre Cultivator that destroyed the Spirit Realm with sinister intentions, quietly digging a huge pit for him.

Where is this Void-Level Corpse-Eating Dao Gui now? What level has it grown to at present? Its strength is probably beyond Void Level by now!

Jia Ren, having sealed a Corpse-eating Bizarre before, was well aware of its characteristics. It is different from other Void-level Strange Creatures, which, despite possessing the ability to wander the Void, seek only energy of the same origin. The Corpse-eating Bizarre is different. All Bizarre Demons are food to it, and it will travel to the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, devouring all energy of the same origin until it grows into... a Bizarre Demon surpassing the Void Level. If such a Bizarre Demon is still alive, after a hundred thousand years of growth, it must be an unsolvable entity, capable of devouring all Bizarre Demons in the major worlds. The Myriad Heavens and Worlds would definitely... not have been able to cling to survival up to now.

"Fellow Daoist truly has discerning eyes. Even if the Spirit Realm had exhausted all its strength, it wouldn’t have been able to so much as scratch it, let alone seal the Void-Level Corpse-Eating Dao Gui," Mou Tianyuan said. "Before my physical body was destroyed, I could only use a grand array formed from Immortal Treasures to send it into the Immortal Realm..."

Sent to the Immortal Realm?! Jia Ren’s expression turned peculiar, and he couldn’t help but marvel. The Immortal Realm sends you to seal Bizarre Demons, and you kicked this massive problem back to them. If it weren’t for the barrier between the Immortal and mortal realms, the one who sent you here would have tried everything to have you slaughtered by now. However, this indeed was the best solution. The Void-Level Corpse-Eating Dao Gui was not a problem that could be resolved in the Lower Realm; allowing it to stay would only make it stronger. Sending it to the Immortal Realm was the only way to solve the problem. Let the Immortal Realm bear these worries...

"How is the Immortal Realm faring? Why did only you descend?" Jia Ren asked. Kunpeng was extremely wary of Ascension to the Immortal Realm. Only one Immortal from the Immortal Realm had descended. Logically, the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm should not ignore the Bizarre Demons and would surely send down more mighty beings. There should have been more than one descending Immortal. No matter how one looked at it, the whole affair was very odd.

"That is another question!" Mou Tianyuan stated. "As long as you hand over the Phoenix Origin to me, I will reveal all the secrets you wish to know without reservation."

Mou Tianyuan was not foolish; the information he had revealed to Jia Ren previously was merely bait. Once Jia Ren became interested and wished to learn more, he would have to follow Mou Tianyuan’s demands. Information is a treasure in itself! Furthermore, very few in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds are privy to this matter.

"Thank you for the information you’ve provided. I’ll find you for a trade later!" Jia Ren said. "Before that, I need to complete my trade with Kun Wu."

A trade with Kun Wu?! Mou Tianyuan was stunned for a moment. An incredulous expression appeared on his residual soul’s face, his former calm and composure gone. With Kun Wu’s Ascension to the Immortal Realm, the last knowledgeable being in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds had departed. Only he, Mou Tianyuan, was left in the know. Jia Ren would have to come to him to seek information about the Immortal Realm. But now... Could it be that Kun Wu had left some information beforehand?

"That damn scoundrel! How dare he scheme against me!" Mou Tianyuan roared in fury, his composure completely shattered. "Those not of our kind are bound to have different hearts!"

All his schemes had utterly failed! He couldn’t accept it! Was it wrong to just want to stay alive?

"Many secrets of the Immortal Realm have never been revealed to the outside world. I am the only one who knows these matters; Kun Wu’s information is incomplete," Mou Tianyuan tried to salvage the situation, attempting to prove that the information he possessed was of the highest value. "After all, I am the Celestial Realm Descent True Immortal!"

"Just get sealed obediently!" Jia Ren retorted, producing a compass—precisely the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure he had obtained from the Master of Wushan Covenant. This Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure was highly practical and also possessed sealing abilities.

He wanted to confirm whether Kun Wu had left him any information about the Immortal Realm. If so, then naturally, he wouldn’t need to trade with Mou Tianyuan. If not... that matter would require long-term consideration.

Mou Tianyuan, with only a remnant soul left, was unable to manipulate the nature’s spiritual energy in the Void. He could do nothing but watch helplessly as he was drawn into the White Compass.

Finally, this trouble has been dealt with. With Mou Tianyuan reduced to a mere remnant soul, his life was in Jia Ren’s hands; disposing of him was effortless. With the trouble gone, Jia Ren felt a great sense of relief wash over him.

The Immortal-Devouring Spike, now uncontrolled, flew into Jia Ren’s palm. This object had a master and, disobeying commands, had even attacked him. Jia Ren sealed it, wondering if there was a chance to subdue it. If he failed, it would share the same fate as the Annihilation Sword.

Jia Ren flew into the Qian Realm, continuing to devour its nature’s spiritual energy and using spatial treasures to gather the people of Qian Country into them. This time, he was not only taking away the nature’s spiritual energy but also the mortals of this realm. Once the nature’s spiritual energy of the Qian Realm was entirely consumed, Bizarre Demons would soon overrun it.

Before even arriving in the Qian Realm, he had entertained this notion. He carried a significant number of the Lingbao Sect’s spatial treasures capable of holding living beings, so evacuating the population of the Qian Realm was not an issue. The Mysterious Realm’s population had significantly decreased. To reach even a tenth of its peak numbers would take time measured in millennia. It was far too time-consuming. Taking the population of the Qian Realm could save time.

Jia Ren visited the Daqian Kingdom and, to his surprise, found that its ruler had changed. Both the Daqian Martial King and the Daqian National Master were split incarnations of Emperor Gan; clearly, incarnations couldn’t be used for resurrection after the original’s death. They had died some time later, and the Dead Immortal Will had selected new successors. These new leaders, having witnessed the momentous event from afar, knew the Dead Immortal had lost and surrendered unconditionally.

Jia Ren took the treasures and Immortal Artifacts from Qian Country’s treasury and sought out anyone willing to leave with him. Those who didn’t want to were left to fend for themselves.

His last stop was the Wall of Star’s Breath. The Starry Seal was the Immortal Treasure that best harmonized with the Breath of Stars Barrier—it could not be abandoned here under any circumstances.

The resources of the Qian Realm had been almost entirely divided up. Next was the complete absorption of the realm’s nature’s spiritual energy. The Qian Realm officially followed in the footsteps of the Vast Wave Realm, becoming the second End of Law Realm.

Jia Ren, having devoured the nature’s spiritual energy of the Qian Realm, left contentedly with the mortals from this world. He did not rush to return to the Cloud Realm. Instead, he quickly headed back to the Mysterious Realm with the mortals. The number of mortals he brought from the Qian Realm exceeded a billion. Their daily food consumption was terrifyingly large, too much for the Xuan Beast Avatar to support. He needed to return them to the Mysterious Realm as quickly as possible to prevent them from starving or dying for other reasons. Indeed, Jia Ren was responsible for these people’s lives from the moment he took them from the Qian Realm.

He rushed the journey at top speed, finally arriving at the Mysterious Realm after a month. The Lingbao Sect had received prior notice, and its disciples were ready to settle the incoming mortals and cultivators. Jia Ren made several trips back and forth, eventually bringing everyone willing to leave the Qian Realm to the Mysterious Realm.

The mortals were dispersed throughout the Mysterious Realm, which finally recovered some of its former vitality. This operation would allow the Lingbao Sect to recruit more disciples, heralding an early arrival of the Cultivation golden age in the Mysterious Realm. Tian Lingzi, Ancestor Ji Kong, and others felt an even stronger sense of belonging to the Lingbao Sect, their faces blooming with joy.

"The Lingbao Sect will surpass all former golden ages, reaching a state unprecedented and unrivaled."

"We will all be recorded in the annals of the Lingbao Sect, to be celebrated by future generations."

As for Jia Ren... his achievements had already surpassed those of the founding patriarchs, the Supreme Ancestors of the Lingbao Sect! His name would be sung by the Lingbao Sect for generations, for millennia to come.

Jia Ren left matters to the Lingbao Sect to handle and hastened towards the Cloud Realm without stopping.

What could Kun Wu have left behind? Did it include secrets of the Immortal Realm? The time to unveil these secrets was today.

Forty days later, Jia Ren finally reached the Cloud Realm. Even before entering, he faintly sensed an immense aura coiled within. Jia Ren showed no hint of concern as he tore through the Void and stepped into the space above the Cloud Realm.

Above the clouds, a massive figure with a severed left wing rested amidst the cloud layer, meeting his gaze from afar. It was the very Kunpeng he had once fought, the one whose wing he had slashed off.

Did it wish to battle him again? However, Jia Ren didn’t sense any hostility or fighting intent from it.

"I am Kun Yuan. I humbly welcome... Senior to the Mysterious Realm," the Kunpeng said, its voice respectful. "My father has already informed me. We have been awaiting Senior’s arrival for some time."

This was a stark contrast to his last visit, which had been full of murderous aura. Now, the Kunpeng was extremely polite, adopting a very low stance and a seemingly ingratiating demeanor.
