Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 759 - 753: The Xuantian Celestial Clan? Banishing Oneself_1

The suppressive power of the Palm-Sized Heavenly Realm was overwhelming. The Demon Insect struggled to twist its body but couldn’t move an inch.

"Fellow Daoist, let’s talk this out properly. Please don’t start a fight," the Demon Insect said, shocked by the Spatial Divine Skills.

"This place is in the Abyssal Demon Realm, known as the Cloud Marsh Demon Swamp..."

It had to be said, a bigger fist was indeed a more persuasive argument.

The Demon Insect sensed danger and quickly conceded, hastening to respond.

The Abyssal Demon Realm, Yunze Demon Abyss.

The Donghua Immortal Domain was near the Abyssal Demon Realm. The distance between them wasn’t short, yet Spatial Banishment had actually sent him to this place.

What was more surprising was that he had arrived in a sealed place.

What kind of monster is sealed here?

This wasn’t the first time Jia Ren had encountered a Sealed Land.

He originated from a Sealed Land in the Mysterious Realm. Those Sealed Lands sealed Bizarre Demons.

In the eyes of the Immortal Realm, was the Myriad Heavens and Worlds not just a place used to seal Bizarre Demons?

Even after coming to the Immortal Realm, he still couldn’t escape the word "seal."

Jia Ren couldn’t help but frown, his expression turning grim.

No matter where it was, a seal was not a good thing.

Creatures that could be easily killed—why waste time and energy sealing them?

Bizarre Demons were the best proof of this.

In the Immortal Realm, those who were sealed were not weak. They were at least Taiyi Jade Immortals, or even Daluo Golden Immortals.

By analogy, whatever was sealed in the Yunze Demon Abyss was definitely not benevolent.

Jia Ren didn’t know how to leave the Yunze Demon Abyss, and it wouldn’t be long before he would have to deal with the strongest existence here.

"What is sealed in the Yunze Demon Abyss is the Mother Earth King!"

"She is one of the few remaining Xuantian Celestial Clans..."

The Xuantian Celestial Clan?

Before Jia Ren could learn more about the Xuantian Celestial Clan and the Mother Earth King, the ground began to shake. A huge mud dragon, strikingly similar in appearance to an Earth Dragon, burrowed out from beneath.

The mud dragon was surrounded by swirling black mud, exuding a strong stench of decay.

Huge amounts of black mud spewed from the mud dragon’s mouth, forming a fan shape as it fell forward.

Upon seeing the mud dragon, the black Demon Insects seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and hurriedly fled.

The black mud sprayed over an extremely wide area, like a black deluge, making it hard to evade.

The dense insect swarm was too crammed to flee, and tens of thousands of black Demon Insects came into contact with it.

Their bodies became rigid in midair, petrified on the spot, and then, like dumplings falling into boiling water, they plummeted from the sky.

Before they even hit the ground, their insect bodies lost all life essence, as if plundered by an invisible force.

The black Bug Corpses turned into empty shells, shattered on the ground, and decomposed into black soil.

Seeing the scene before him, Jia Ren couldn’t help but suspect that the black earth beneath was formed from the endless corpses of these insects.

What kind of monster is this mud dragon? Why does the mud it spews possess such unimaginable power, capable of robbing the Demon Insects of their life force?

Is it the Mother Earth King?

"Run quickly!"

The black Demon Insect in Jia Ren’s Palm-Sized Heavenly Realm let out a sharp cry. In the next moment, myriads of Demon Insects frantically fled in all directions.

As the mud dragon spat out mud, the Demon Insects that were unable to escape in time kept falling from the sky, turning into lifeless Bug Corpses.

Jia Ren realized the mud dragon’s abilities were extraordinary. Without the slightest thought of trying to seal it, he turned and fled.

Just then, the mud dragon sensed something, its eyes magnetically fixed on Jia Ren.

It ignored the other black Demon Insects close at hand and lunged straight for Jia Ren.

A huge torrent of mud surged forward, bringing with it an intense sense of crisis.

Facing an unknown power, Jia Ren had no intention of testing it himself. He promptly flapped his Golden-Winged Peng Bird wings and vanished from the spot.

With a flash of golden light, he had already flown tens of thousands of miles.

He was still in an unknown dark area—the so-called Sealed Land.

What exactly is the Xuantian Celestial Clan? And what level of power does the Mother Earth King possess?

The Demon Insect’s words had indeed piqued Jia Ren’s interest.

The Xuantian Celestial Clan was definitely extraordinary—an ancient secret he had never heard of before.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know about Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures and Xuantian Immortal Treasures?"

Jia Ren was not unfamiliar with Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. These were special treasures generated by heaven and earth, inherently possessing extremely potent power.

These treasures, generated by heaven and earth, were the most powerful supreme treasures in the Lower Realm.

"What is the relationship between the Xuantian Celestial Clan and Xuantian Immortal Treasures?"

Jia Ren also called his Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda a Xuantian Immortal Treasure.

Having spent so much time in the Immortal Realm, he had heard of Xuantian Immortal Treasures—treasures above supreme-grade Immortal Artifacts.

The Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect was even named after Xuantian Immortal Treasures.

Such treasures, like Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, were also generated by heaven and earth and were also known as Innate Supreme Treasures, possessing unimaginable power.

Xuantian Immortal Treasures were cosmic treasures capable of stirring the hearts of even Daluo Golden Immortals, or even Dao Ancestors.

However, the conditions for the birth of a Xuantian Immortal Treasure were even more stringent than those for a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. Only a rare Innate Immortal Treasure had a minuscule chance of nurturing a Xuantian Immortal Treasure.

"Hehe, not many know this secret. If you promise to take me with you out of Yunzhao Moyuan, I will surely divulge everything," the Demon Insect said. Seeing its bait had taken effect, it seized the opportunity to make its demand.

Jia Ren nodded, not refusing.

"As long as I escape from here, I will definitely take you with me."

He had no enmity with this Demon Insect. If he could obtain valuable information, taking it along would be no issue.

The Demon Insect, perhaps possessing some means to discern truth from fabrication, nodded contentedly and stopped holding back.

"The Xuantian Celestial Clan were the precursors to Xuantian Immortal Treasures."

"The Xuantian Celestial Clan were powerful from birth, also known as Innate Gods and Demons. They were born wielding the Power of the Great Dao, each an incomparably terrifying existence."

"They were the protagonists of heaven and earth when the world first began."

"After humans became the protagonists of heaven and earth, the Xuantian Celestial Clan, for some unknown reason, gradually transformed one after another into Xuantian Immortal Treasures."

The Xuantian Celestial Clan are Xuantian Immortal Treasures?!

This news truly shook Jia Ren. He had obtained many Jade Slips from the Immortal Realm, which recorded numerous major events, but this was the first time he had heard about the Xuantian Celestial Clan and Xuantian Immortal Treasures.

If what the other party said was true, this was indeed a major revelation.

Then... could the transformation of the Great Dao into Dao Bizarre be related to the Xuantian Celestial Clan?

Before Jia Ren could ask anything else, the ground shook incessantly. A Mud Dragon emerged from the earth, and a vast expanse of mud surged towards Jia Ren.

Have they caught up?

Are they really this relentless?

Jia Ren didn’t hesitate, decisively flapping his wings and once again distancing himself from that location.

He felt an unseen gaze upon him, a sense of pervasive danger that clung to him and wouldn’t dissipate.

BOOM!

Not long after Jia Ren left, deep within the earth, numerous Mud Dragons burst forth from the ground.

This was just the beginning. The number of Mud Dragons increased steadily, as if an incomparably terrifying existence was awakening.

Wherever Jia Ren flew, Mud Dragons constantly emerged from the earth below, their dragon eyes firmly fixed on him.

Was he being targeted by the Mother Earth King?

If the Demon Insect’s words were true, the Xuantian Celestial Clan wielded Dao-level power. Such a level was at least equivalent to a Daluo Golden Immortal, possibly even a Dao Ancestor!

How could he dare to provoke such beings?

Leave this place immediately!

"You fool, what have you done? Why has the Mother Earth King awakened?!"

"Hurry up and set me free!"

The Demon Insect’s tone betrayed its fear; it desperately wanted to escape from the source of danger.

Jia Ren didn’t waste words. He dispersed the Palm-Sized Heavenly Realm, setting it free.

The Demon Insect fled swiftly into the distance.

"You’re on your own!"

It had originally intended to escape Yunzhao Moyuan with Jia Ren. But with this turn of events, it was naturally every demon for itself when disaster struck.

"Great Thousand Shifting Escape!"

Space Law Power circulated, and in the next moment, he had already departed from that place.

Once, twice, three times...

Jia Ren didn’t wish to clash with the unknown Mother Earth King. The place was too perilous, and his only desire was to get as far away from Yunzhao Moyuan as possible.

BOOM!

Regardless of where he used the Great Thousand Shifting Escape to flee, Mud Dragons would burst from the ground below, relentlessly pursuing him.

Previously it was mere conjecture, but now, without a doubt, he had been targeted by the Mother Earth King, who was not giving him any chance to escape.

Despite continuously employing the Great Thousand Shifting Escape, Yunzhao Moyuan still seemed boundless.

Not only that, but the ground ahead was already teeming with Mud Dragons awaiting him.

Have I returned to where I was before?!

Jia Ren saw a familiar scene: the remnants of black insect mud where the Mud Dragons had spewed their sludge, stealing the life essence from the black Demon Insects. He realized that although he had been teleporting in a single direction, he had failed to reach any boundary, nor had he seen any sign of the supposed sealing restrictions.

Instead... he had returned to his starting point.

The seal here was extraordinary—intangible and impossible to break through brute force to escape.

After all, a Formation that sealed such powerful beings was no ordinary thing.

He didn’t have time to try to locate the Formation and break through the restrictions.

The earth seemed to have become a paradise for Mud Dragons. One after another, they burst from the ground, hundreds of their heads twisting together as they lunged towards Jia Ren to bite him.

An unprecedented sense of crisis washed over him. If he couldn’t escape from here, he would surely die at the hands of the Mother Earth King.

Was there any other way to leave this place?

A spark of inspiration flashed through Jia Ren’s mind, and he inwardly cursed his own foolishness.

Of course, he should leave the way he came.

He had been brought here when Lord Qianyu used Spatial Banishment on him. Could he, perhaps, use the same method to leave?

Lord Qianyu wasn’t here to send him away...

But Jia Ren possessed Space Law Power and had mastered Spatial Banishment. This meant he could banish himself!

"Spatial Banishment!"

Space Force surged in Jia Ren’s palm as he brought it down upon his own chest.

In an instant, countless strange, silver patterns formed on his body, then erupted in brilliant light.

A powerful suction force emanated, threatening to forcibly pull him away.

To think, the first time he truly used Spatial Banishment, it would be on himself... to banish himself...

He wasn’t resisting with Space Force as he had when Lord Qianyu had banished him, a resistance that had delayed the process back then. Now, his body turned ethereal, as if a gateway to another world had opened behind him.

The countless Mud Dragons seemed to come alive, emitting a soul-shaking roar.

"Leave it behind!"

It?

What was ’it’ referring to?

Thousands of Mud Dragons converged, enveloping Jia Ren’s location. They formed an inescapable torrent of mud, engulfing everything.

Contact with even the slightest bit of it would mean having all his life essence forcefully plundered.

Unfortunately for them, their actions were a step too late. Jia Ren was already gone from that spot.
