Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 737 - 731: The Giant Rat - Leave A Line When Dealing With Others_1
Jia Ren left the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl and returned to the Celestial Secret Vault.
To prevent guards from embezzling treasures for themselves, neither cultivators nor immortals were able to enter the secret vaults. The corresponding treasure retrieval certificates could summon a black gate, through which one could obtain the corresponding treasures across the void. This method was indeed secure. Over the years, the Qianhuan Sect’s treasure vault had never experienced any errors.
No one had ever entered the Celestial Secret Vault. Although treasures had been retrieved and deposited over a hundred years, from beginning to end, no one discovered Jia Ren. The thunder attribute immortal materials previously taken were mostly not unique, so nobody noticed the absence of any materials. The large rat had thus far survived safely.
What Jia Ren sought was stability. In this place, undisturbed, with all kinds of treasures at his disposal, where could there be a better place for cultivation?
He made his way to the location corresponding to the Jade Slips, watching and recording the cultivation methods and immortal dao secret techniques and divine abilities. "Qianyu Cave True Scripture," "Feathered Ascension to Immortality Scripture," "Heavenly Fire God-Annihilating Skill"... The number of Jade Slips totaled in the hundreds, each one a cultivation method. True Immortal, Profound Immortal, and Earthly Immortal Techniques were all included, the lowest quality among them being of Golden Immortal level. Inferior cultivation methods were placed in the Earthly Secret Vault, not the Celestial Secret Vault.
Jia Ren committed each and every one of these methods to memory. Once his realm reached the Golden Immortal Realm, the Tianbao Transformation Immortal Technique could undergo a second limit break, assisting in advancing the cultivation methods to even higher levels. The methods within the Celestial Secret Vault could help the Tianbao Transformation Immortal Technique to progress further, making each and every one worth memorizing.
The Qianyu Cave True Scripture was a special technique cultivated by Lord Qianyu. Along with this technique came many space-related secret techniques and divine abilities, possessing incredible applications. Understanding this technique deepened his knowledge about Lord Qianyu. He stored the information from each Jade Slip securely in his mind. Every time he noted down a Golden Immortal Technique, he put the corresponding Jade Slip back in place, to prevent anyone from the Qianhuan Sect from using them.
After recording all Golden Immortal Techniques, he moved on to the Immortal Path Divine Power and secret techniques. The leading divine ability was named the Great Thousand Shifting Escape, originated from Lord Qianyu. This Immortal Path Divine Power could shift a person hundreds of thousands of miles away. Only those who had mastered space-related laws could truly unleash the power of the Great Thousand Shifting Escape. If one reached the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm, a thought could transport them tens of millions of miles away. This was an unrivaled spatial displacement divine ability.
The second spatial divine ability was called Palm-Sized Heavenly Realm, capable of capturing immortals and cultivators into one’s palm from across the void. The farther one’s mastery of space-related laws, the more solid the palm-sized realm, trapping the captives with spatial pressure, making it difficult for them to escape the spatial cage... The Gold-Winged Great Peng Bird Avatar was seized with a single palm strike using this Immortal Path Divine Power by Lord Qianyu himself.
The third spatial divine ability was named the Great Thousand Sundering Realm Palm. With a single palm strike, it could rend space apart, shattering it into a thousand pieces—a formidable spatial offensive divine ability. This technique killed enemies from afar, its divine power unfathomable with a single palm strike. All three spatial Immortal Path Divine Powers required the laws of space to function at their greatest potential, their might too incredible for words.
Even after Jia Ren had advanced to Golden Immortal, facing Lord Qianyu, who had mastered the spatial laws and corresponding Immortal Path Divine Power, there was little chance of victory. Facing the Great Thousand Shifting Escape, there was no escape. From afar, the Great Thousand Sundering Realm Palm could annihilate him. Without even the opportunity to touch the opponent, he could be pulverized across the void. Jia Ren noted down the three spatial Immortal Path Divine Powers, realizing that he would only be qualified to battle them upon advancing to the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm.
The Qianhuan Sect’s Immortal Dao Secret Techniques were vast and all-encompassing, with those stored in the Celestial Secret Vault being of Golden Immortal level or higher. These secret techniques and divine abilities all shared one issue: without mastery of the corresponding Power of Laws, the full might of the secret technique could not be unleashed. If no one in the Sect mastered the relevant laws, the learned secret techniques and divine abilities were merely ordinary Immortal Dao Secret Techniques, their power vastly diminished.
Jia Ren committed to memory every single Golden Immortal level Immortal Dao Secret Technique, not letting a single one slip by. The focus was still on those related to the Thousand Transformations Rule. The Mystical Net Thousand Changes Technique, Cloud Soaring Nine Illusions Body, Heavenly Gang Thirty-six Transformations... The Immortal Dao Secret Techniques related to Thousand Transformations were far more numerous than imagined.
The Proficiency Panel emerged in front of him; the Immortal Dao Secret Techniques and Skill Breaking Points vanished, transforming into fuel for enacting spells. Insights into the Thousand Transformations Rule flooded Jia Ren’s mind. His understanding of the law grew deeper, and his ability for disguise under the Thousand Transformations became even stronger. The power of the Thousand Transformations Law swiftly merged with the Celestial Treasure Immortal Power, the Law Spirit Domain within the Dantian Cave Heaven expanding at an astonishing rate. The unfolded Law Spirit Domain was sufficient to influence a hundred thousand miles, reaching a level comparable to a complete Golden Immortal Realm. Once the Law Spirit Domain expanded to a certain limit, it could no longer accommodate even the slightest bit of the Power of Laws. There were still Immortal Path Secret Techniques of the Thousand Transformations category left, and the divine abilities gained could still be used for enacting spells in the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm.
Indeed worthy of being a sect’s treasure vault; their foundation is truly profound! Thus far, the gains were delightful. After finishing the enactment of spells, Jia Ren continued to record from the Jade Slips. From Alchemy, Artifact Refining to Beast Controlling, he committed every bit of information within the Jade Slips to memory, knowing there would come a day when they would be useful.
Having recorded all the information from the Jade Slips, Jia Ren then turned his gaze to the elixirs. Cultivation, healing, detoxification, body strengthening, and soul refinement...a dazzling array of elixirs presented before him. To leave a treasure mountain empty-handed would hardly be fitting. Ultimately, a large quantity of elixirs were gathered into his possession. Purple Immortal Jade and Golden Immortal Jade were pocketed one after another, with only a small portion of the Immortal Jade left to manage treasure retrieval, so as not to attract attention. Immortal materials and Immortal Elixirs were handled in a similar fashion.
Unknowingly, Jia Ren arrived at the area where the Immortal Artifacts were kept. There were thirty-six Immortal Artifacts; the worst among them was a Middle-grade Immortal Artifact, and there were altogether three High-grade Immortal Artifacts. He only used the best High-grade Immortal Artifacts. As for the Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts... He decided to make full use of them, swallowing them with the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art to enhance his own Cultivation Level.
Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda was limited by the Power of Laws and had never been able to advance to a middle-grade Xuantian Immortal Treasure, which affected the speed of its transformation into Celestial Treasure Immortal Power. The True Immortal Realm was sufficient, but for the Golden Immortal Realm, its utility could only be considered barely satisfactory. With a large number of Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts in hand, his Cultivation Level was bound to grow at an astonishing rate. However, before converting his Cultivation Level, he still had to achieve the second limit break of the Tianbao Transformation Immortal Technique.
The Golden Immortal Techniques of the Qianhuan Sect numbered in the hundreds, and combined with the techniques he had previously obtained, the amount was indeed significant. For the Tianbao Transformation Immortal Technique to neutralize all Bizarre Qi, even the Bizarre Law, the variety of Cultivation Methods was far from sufficient to encompass all types of Laws. After the breakthrough, a large amount of Bizarre Qi would also be beyond the scope of transformation.
The third breakthrough for the Tianbao Transformation Immortal Technique? This strategy would not work. The higher the grade of the Cultivation Method, the scarcer the quantity, and Techniques of the Taiyi Jade Immortal level were even harder to find. The difficulty of obtaining Techniques encompassing all Laws would increase by several levels. Any mistake could mean permanently losing the ability to neutralize all types of Bizarre Qi. This was not an outcome he was willing to face.
Jia Ren still had a perfect solution. The Immortal Power converted by the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art could be stored inside the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda until he had collected enough types of Techniques for the Tianbao Transformation Immortal Technique to achieve its limit break, and then he could convert it into Cultivation Level.
Thinking of this, Jia Ren erased the corresponding Law imprints, and a silver spear fell into his palm. His palm turned dark, becoming a black hole that continuously swallowed the power within this Middle-grade Immortal Artifact. Bits of debris peeled off from the body of the Immortal Artifact, and the residue of the Immortal Artifact, devoid of Spiritual Nature and power, sprinkled onto the ground through the gaps between his fingers. Heavenly Treasure Immortal Force streamed endlessly into his body, and he once again experienced the sensation of a swift increase in Immortal Power. Once all the Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts were consumed, the accumulated Immortal Power would ensure that reaching the late Golden Immortal stage, if not at least the mid-stage, was absolutely not a problem.
With the Qianhuan Sect’s top resources fully supplied to him, his Cultivation Level rocketed. Lord Qianyu coveted the Golden-Winged Peng Bird and also wanted to kill him; the treasures within the Celestial Secret Vault are merely interest on that debt.
One by one, the Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts gradually turned to dust, becoming fodder to increase Immortal Power. The rank of the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art was slightly lower, and the speed of devouring Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts was somewhat slow. With the Heart Derivation Technique allowing him to multitask, he maintained nine instances of the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art at once, converting them into Heavenly Treasure Immortal Force at the fastest speed. The Heavenly Treasure Immortal Force obtained from devouring with the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art had to be doubly transformed by the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda and Tianbao Transformation Immortal Technique before it could become Celestial Treasure Immortal Power. This significantly reduced the conversion efficiency. Even so, the speed of cultivation far surpassed that of the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda by more than a hundredfold, and a vast amount of Celestial Treasure Immortal Power poured into the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda.
In front of Jia Ren, debris scattered all over the ground; Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts that would tempt any Golden Immortal had shattered into slag. Time passed without his knowledge, and all thirty-three Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts turned into dust, accumulating tremendous Celestial Treasure Immortal Power within the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, equivalent to that gained from over ten thousand years of cultivation. Once the timing was right, his Cultivation Level would surely soar.
A large number of resources from the Celestial Secret Vault fell into his hands, increasing the value of the Celestial Secret Vault exponentially. The only advantage left was that this place was still safe, with no one to disturb him. The Tianbao Transformation Immortal Technique had yet to reach the Golden Immortal Level and could not open the corresponding Golden Immortal apertures to store Golden Immortal Power. Continuing to stay here, he could not improve his Cultivation Level. Apart from refining Immortal Materials into Immortal Artifacts and converting them into more Celestial Treasure Immortal Power, there was no further value.
How should he leave the Celestial Secret Vault? He couldn’t just walk out in broad daylight... Jia Ren quickly came up with a solution. The same way in, the same way out! If someone came to take a treasure, wouldn’t he be able to leave easily by disguising himself as the corresponding treasure and being carried away? Enter the vault unnoticed, then leave in the same stealthy manner. By the time the Qianhuan Sect realized something was wrong, he would have long disappeared.
With this thought, Jia Ren no longer showed any mercy to the treasures of the Celestial Secret Vault. Immortal Elixirs, rare treasures, and Jade Slips of Techniques were all packed up and taken away, leaving none behind.
"Leave a line of kindness for future encounters," he murmured. He hesitated for a moment then took out a piece of Green Immortal Jade and placed it in the center of the vault. It lay there alone, in stark contrast to the once treasure-filled vault. Let it be his final act of mercy.
After completing everything, Jia Ren quietly awaited the arrival of a new treasure seeker. Surprisingly, it was a delivery of treasures. The newly added treasures hadn’t even warmed up in the vault before entering Jia Ren’s pouch.
After waiting for three days, the Power of Laws flickered, searching for something in the empty Celestial Secret Vault. Finally, someone came to retrieve a treasure! Time to leave! The Thousand Transformations Rule had already become an insider, acquiring the information about the desired object. Jia Ren transformed in an instant, turning into a Crooked-neck jade bottle. The Power of Laws finally found its target, and the jade bottle was pulled by an invisible force, disappearing from the Celestial Secret Vault.
