Chapter 840 - 834: Setting Anchor Points, Bait and Hunt
Jia Ren sent Ma Tianbao back to the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, and without delay, he smoothly left the North Cold Immortal Palace.
What should be done next to obtain cultivation resources?
Slowly accumulate with the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda?
Who knows how much time it will take to complete the accumulation, the mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal has not yet filled the Star Celestial Palace, and reaching the consummation of the Daluo Golden Immortal might take over ten thousand years.
That is even with the assistance of the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, and crafting Supreme-grade Immortal Artifacts by oneself.
The Immortal Realm is different from the Lower Realm, the Ancestor of Deceit possesses countless techniques, even if hidden within the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm, it cannot be guaranteed that no one will discover it.
The Lun Hui Dao Zu once used unknown methods to lock onto the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm.
The longer one hides, the easier it is to be found.
If you don’t want to accumulate slowly, you can only plunder externally.
The forces of the Buddhist Sect and the Bizarre Path flashed through his mind.
After the Netherworld incident, the hatred towards the Buddhist Sect has surged, even surpassing the Bizarre Path.
However, most of the Buddhist Sect’s wealth is held by several Buddha Ancestors, making it extremely difficult to seize a large number of usable treasures; now is not the best time for revenge.
In comparison, the Bizarre Immortals and their corresponding Mysterious Instruments are excellent resources, enough to help him quickly complete the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm accumulation.
The Ancestral Master Realm is truly the time to display divine prowess, to repay grievances and avenge enmities.
"Has the Chaotic Immortal Realm restored itself to its original state?"
The Chaotic Immortal Realm is relatively safe, with lingering pollution left by a powerful Ancestor-Level of the Deceptive Path on the outskirts.
Besides the Trickster Immortal Artifacts, even the pollution power can be traced back and used to enhance cultivation level.
Jia Ren made a decision and wasted no time. A silver-white light emerged from his palm, which he lightly clapped onto himself.
Silver patterns interwove on the surface of his skin, accompanied by the suction from the sky, vanishing without a trace.
When his figure reappeared, he was in the void outside the Chaotic Immortal Realm, in a region filled with pollution.
Jia Ren’s spatial banishment can precisely control his landing point, elevating the value of this Immortal Path Divine Power by several steps, its practicality immensely powerful.
His eyes shone with hues of purple and gold, gazing into the distance where a sea of black flames and Law Mountains stretched endlessly.
They remain unchanged through eternity, everlasting.
His gaze passed through the flame sea and mountains, landing on the Chaotic Immortal Realm.
The Chaotic Immortal Realm became desolate, with tens of thousands of miles of desert devoid of human presence.
Beyond the desert was a plain; towering trees stood tall, lush with leaves, countless wild grass grew wildly, and small beasts leapt and darted among the undergrowth.
With the bizarre demons and corresponding pollution gone, the heaven and earth started to correct themselves.
The barren and filthy land, symbolizing deathly silence, began to rejuvenate.
Bizarre Immortals... even Immortals seem to be mere parasitic entities in this world.
Unintentionally, his divine sense swept the entire land, yet no traces of Bizarre Immortals or the Guiching Sect were seen.
"Hmm, there are remnants of bizarre pollution from seven or eight Ancestor-Level of the Deceptive Path here?"
"Did several Ancestor-Level of the Deceptive Path specifically lie in wait for me here?"
Jia Ren saw the ruins of the Flesh Demon Palace, deeply hidden with highly severe pollution, numerous and varied in aura.
The Ancestors of Deceit are no fools; the disappearance of Bizarre Immortals in the Chaotic Immortal Realm likely has to do with their sought target.
Hence, they specifically set traps here, waiting patiently.
The number of Ancestor-Level of the Deceptive Path left behind couldn’t be too few, as encountering Yang Chengcang would only result in ruinous hunting.
Sending seven or eight Ancestor-Level of the Deceptive Path demonstrates their regard for him.
Staying for over three thousand years without capturing the target, the Ancestors of Deceit couldn’t wait indefinitely.
Faced with unknown existences, without the support of immortality, why would the Bizarre Immortals willingly enter the Chaotic Immortal Realm to die?
The Bizarre Path hasn’t dispatched more Bizarre Immortals into the Chaotic Immortal Realm, so it’s only logical for this place to be abandoned.
The Immortal Path treats this as the territory of the Bizarre Path, fearing to step into Bizarre Path traps, hence won’t easily enter the Chaotic Immortal Realm, making this place a ’Paradise Beyond the World.’
"Indeed, undisturbed, with abundant bizarre power on the outskirts, truly a pure land."
Jia Ren floated and quickly concealed himself within the Chaotic Immortal Realm, halting on a verdant plain with green hills and water, the force of the Daluo Golden Immortal surged, quickly transforming into an indelible mark.
He set up a Revival Anchor here!
Who would normally think he would establish revival methods within the Bizarre Path territory?
The indelible mark descended, deeply imprinting on the ground before dissipating, leaving not a trace.
Instantly, he formed an extraordinary connection with this land.
After his death, apart from reviving in place, he could also choose to revive here.
After setting up the backups, gray halos appeared around him, numbering up to twelve, congealing into a singular, immensely thick gray ring.
Gray light rippled outward from him, flooding in all directions.
Bizarre black flames, Law Mountains, death hive, the shrouded night...
All forces touched by the gray light surged into Jia Ren’s body and disappeared entirely, his body accommodating all bizarre pollution powers, like the sea embracing a hundred rivers.
Various pollution powers surged into the body, pure darkness, the mother hive of bees, the carrier of indestructible black flames...
Unknown powerful entities of the Bizarre Path left various pollution powers clashing, the carrier for pollution and destruction.
Jia Ren had anticipated this long ago; upon contact with the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force, all pollution was purified, and pure Immortal Spiritual Power flowed to his dantian and meridians, undergoing Grand Circulation.
This power, at the level of an Ancestor of Deceit and Daluo Golden Immortal, is far purer than ordinary Immortal Spiritual Qi and more easily transformed into Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force.
However, compared to the similar-sourced Heavenly Treasure Immortal Force, the difficulty of transformation is still much higher. It takes several cycles of Grand Circulation to completely transform it into Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force.
With a rough transformation, one can also use this power, but it cannot be used to enhance cultivation levels or integrated into the Star Celestial Palace.
Half an hour later, the gray giant ring vanished, and the power of pollution and the Immortal Spiritual Power in the Void area surrounding the Chaotic Immortal Realm disappeared.
This place, isolated from the world and turned into an Ancestor of Deceit’s back garden, had become a peculiar place with no Immortal Spiritual Qi but with thriving vitality.
"It’s time to leave!"
Jia Ren felt the bizarre pollution absorbed into his body, along with the mark and residual trace of the Ancestor of Deceit, forming the power of pollution after a long stay here.
Initially, it was to prevent the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor from restoring the Nan Hua Immortal Domain. Later, it became a barrier for the Chaotic Immortal Realm.
Perhaps there were still some ambiguous intentions that formed today’s arrangement.
All these powers have been completely cleared, and the Ancestor of Deceit who left the mark will surely sense it.
Jia Ren wasted no time and decisively used Spatial Banishment on himself.
His figure disappeared from the Chaotic Immortal Realm and gradually became clear in the Black Death Demon Realm, appearing in a desolate area.
This was the place he had noticed in advance when he last came to the Black Death Demon Realm, most suitable for his ’smuggling’.
A blood phantom and a Mimicry Phantom Body were left in place to verify external conditions and observe the dynamics of the Black Death Demon Realm, while the main body escaped into the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm.
"The quality of this power is enough, but unfortunately, the quantity is too little!"
The Immortal Power obtained from the pollution cannot compare to the devoured Immortal Artifact, unable to fill eight hundred and forty Star Celestial Palaces, let alone nearly a thousand needing to be opened.
The gap in resources is not a small number.
Jia Ren absorbed the bizarre pollution in the Chaotic Immortal Realm on purpose.
The disappearance of their peculiar power will surely attract the attention of numerous Ancestors of Deceit.
The Dao Ancestors won’t waste energy on wearing down the pollution of the Ancestors of Deceit, clearing the Chaotic Immortal Realm belonging to the Bizarre Path, which would yield no benefit and leave themselves exceedingly weak, giving the enemy an opportunity.
Throughout the Immortal Realm, only he has consistently gained from this, proven by the Ancestor of Deceit dispatched to guard the Chaotic Immortal Realm, showing they have guessed the truth.
The Ancestors of Deceit have guessed his actions and will certainly dispatch a large number of Ancestor-Level of the Deceptive Path strong ones to capture him.
With the Black Death Demon Realm losing numerous Ancestors of Deceit stationed, it has become unprecedentedly weak, offering him the best opportunity to deal with the Bizarre Path and obtain numerous treasures.
Even if there are still Ancestors of Deceit stationed here, the numbers wouldn’t be many, so he can snatch benefits and escape through Spatial Banishment if danger arises.
There is a need to bear certain risks, although within his tolerable range.
Moreover, there’s a convenient mentor, Lord Mingluo, here to play a key role at critical moments.
This is also why he chose the Black Death Demon Realm, instead of the Abyssal Demon Realm and other places dominated by the Bizarre Path.
The peculiar demons formed by the blood phantom and Mimicry Phantom Body lay silently dormant, faintly sensing powerful auras passing by swiftly.
The plan succeeded, and Ancestors of Deceit began leaving the Black Death Demon Realm one after another.
How many Ancestors of Deceit were drawn away by the ’luring the tiger away from the mountain’ strategy?
This will determine the level of danger and the rewards of this journey.
By not engaging directly with the Ancestors of Deceit and fully using the advantage of speed with the Space Law, he could reap the maximum benefit swiftly.
If anything becomes untenable or danger is sensed, he can escape swiftly.
Advance to seize, retreat to escape.
This is the reason Jia Ren is willing to give it a try here.
The Bizarre Path and various other forces won’t spare him, with the territories of the Immortal Realm limited; who knows when the Ancestors of Deceit will find him.
At that time, more than a hundred Ancestors of Deceit might act against him. If anyone restricts spatial escape, death would be certain.
It is uncertain when this day would come.
Instead of living in constant fear and hiding everywhere, making it hard to improve his cultivation level, facing uninvited troubles...
It’s better to ascend to Dao Ancestor as quickly as possible, transforming into the Ancestor of Spatial Path, impervious to all sorts of evil spirits and truly resolving the crisis.
After all, if all his enemies are killed, wouldn’t there be no need to run?
Without opportunities, he must create opportunities for himself!
"Let’s do a divination!"
Great luck and prosperity!
Jia Ren didn’t blindly trust divination, knowing, after all, that destiny could be altered by others.
The blood phantom sank into the ground, silently nesting.
Even if unforeseen changes occur, after his death, the blood phantom will become the third backup plan for his resurrection.
With everything prepared, he emerged from the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, transforming into a peculiar demon that perished in the Bizarre Hall.
"Heavenly Merchant Treasure Yuan Avatar!"
A thousand Heavenly Merchant Treasure Yuan Avatars converged, their carriers being... his own blood; each avatar possessed a formidable physique, their aura comparable to an Immortal Monarch.
"The hunt begins now!"
Jia Ren deployed the thousand-plus Heavenly Merchant Treasure Yuan Avatars using Space Force, sending them into various Trickster Immortal Artifact sect regions.
