Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials

Chapter 328 - 174: Vast World Within the Cocoon, Endless Sun and Moon Within the Bottle (Part 2)

In the past, Soul Catching Sect was destroyed for a small Jade Marrow Ore. If it became known that there was a Jade Marrow Mountain here, even those super sects with Nascent Soul Ancestors might not be able to resist the temptation.

After all, Jade Marrow is an extremely precious cultivation resource, the core of Spirit Veins, more valuable than Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Bury it underground with ample Earth Vein Qi, and within a hundred years, a small Spirit Vein may evolve. It’s a strategic-level resource, far from ordinary.

Moreover, the energy within is the purest, usable for any cultivation technique. Whether at the Qi Cultivation Stage, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, or even Golden Core Nascent Soul, this Jade Marrow can nourish magical power and divine soul without side effects, extremely harmonious.

During Alchemy or Artifact Refining, through special means of blending, the grade can be greatly enhanced, reaching higher quality.

Anyway, Jade Marrow is the core of Spirit Veins, produced only in Top-Grade and Upper Grade Spirit Veins, and even if a Middle Grade Spirit Vein can nurture some, it will automatically evolve toward a higher grade Spirit Vein.

It also benefits the cultivation of Nascent Soul Ancestors, with broad utility, urging sects and major forces to desperately seek it.

Previously, the Secret Immortal Sect lineage in the Profound Spirit Realm expanded crazily, competing everywhere for Spirit Vein lands, depleting Jade Marrow to hatch and tame Ascension Silkworms, which ultimately attracted the siege of several major sects from the Southern Realm, leading to their downfall.

"Unfortunately, it’s unclear how long this Secret Immortal Cave Mansion has existed, unmanaged for a long time, in poor condition. This Jade Marrow Mountain was used to hatch and raise Feathered Silkworms, absorbed furiously, decayed, the spiritual qi nearly depleted. Otherwise, it would have been a massive fortune."

Amazed at the immeasurable value of this Jade Marrow Mountain, Zheng Yi had to face reality.

Stored for hundreds of years, unattended, the Jade Marrow Mountain in the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion had already been completely hollowed out, spiritual qi drained, rendering it useless.

No wonder the surrounding spiritual qi felt so dense upon entry, caused by the loss of spiritual qi from this Jade Marrow Mountain.

Zheng Yi extended his right hand, releasing a formless sword qi, waved, cutting away the surface stones, revealing the core of the Jade Marrow Mountain, containing seven cocoons.

"Found... Could these be the larvae of the Ascension Immortal Silkworm?!"

Zheng Yi’s eyes sparkled, hesitantly said.

In fact, whether it was Yi Qing Zi or people from Heaven-Locking Temple, they had never seen a real Ascension Immortal Silkworm.

After entering the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion, their information might not be more than Zheng Yi’s.

However, considering that these cocoons are preserved in the Jade Marrow Mountain, only the ’Ascension Immortal Silkworm’ belonging to the Secret Immortal Sect would deserve such treatment.

But, after scanning the seven cocoons with his divine soul, Zheng Yi’s face turned somewhat grim. For unknown reasons, perhaps the preservation environment was unsuitable over the long years, most of the cocoons had lost their vitality.

"Must I return empty-handed?!"

Zheng Yi’s face grew grimmer, after all his efforts, if this was the outcome, even his Dao Heart couldn’t endure it, if Yi Qing Zi were alive and came here, he might die of anger.

Upon careful inspection, his eyes brightened, astonishingly discovering that one cocoon still retained some vitality.

However, its vitality seemed sealed by some energy, so he hadn’t detected it immediately.

Collecting the other lifeless cocoons, rather than storing them in a storage pouch, Zheng Yi stored them in his personal space.

Among the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends skills, there’s a skill called "Pot Heaven," meaning the universe in the sleeve, and longevity in the pot.

This Pot Heaven skill can create a small personal space, connected to the body, transforming Sumeru into a mustard seed, concealing the sun and moon in Pot Heaven. Zheng Yi’s body opened the seventy-two Earthly Fiend acupoints, one of which is Pot Celestial Acupoints.

Zheng Yi hides some core objects there, concealing their celestial secrets with his body’s qi blood power, undiscoverable by anyone’s deductions or divinations.

Presently, the Pot Celestial Acupoints holds only three to four cubic spaces, but as Zheng Yi’s cultivation grows, and his body strengthens, it will gradually evolve, becoming more complete.

Although those Feathered Silkworms have lost their vitality, having once been the Secret Immortal Sect’s supreme treasure, Zheng Yi still cautiously stored them in the flesh Pot Celestial Acupoints, concealing the karmic response.

Furthermore, they could be taken back for study, as something as precious as the Ascension Immortal Silkworm is exceedingly rare, even their remains could be of significant use.

After picking up the sealed cocoon, Zheng Yi cautiously exercised magical power to grind it down, utilizing the information acquired from Heaven-Locking Temple, and merged the cocoon within him, reviving its life force.

Thereupon, Zheng Yi sat quietly in meditation, nurturing it with magical power, remaining still for an entire day.

The next day, as magical power nourished it, the cocoon’s seal was broken, instantly, a stream of light burst forth, directly into Zheng Yi’s dantian.

The speed was astonishingly fast, leaving him with almost no time to react, the entity entering his dantian qi sea seemed like a small black hole, rapidly consuming and absorbing the magical power once filling the dantian.

"What the hell? What happened?!"

Zheng Yi’s expression changed, he genuinely hadn’t anticipated such things beyond his control occurring at this time.

As he prepared to drive out the entity from his dantian with magical power, suddenly his body stiffened, completely losing control, watching helplessly as all his magical power, along with divine soul power and qi blood power, were voraciously absorbed by the mysterious existence, and his aura rapidly weakened.

"Am I going to die..."?

As this thought appeared, Zheng Yi could hardly react, his body stiffened and fell to the ground, lifeless, unconscious.

Without a move, even breathing ceased, seemingly dead.

Mere moments after he collapsed, inside his body, white threads sprayed out rapidly, enveloping Zheng Yi’s body in no time, ultimately forming a giant cocoon, quietly resting there.

Zheng Yi’s consciousness entirely halted, his mind ceased to function, in a dreamlike state, as if dead, fallen into a deep sleep.

In a haze, his consciousness began to revive, his eyes vaguely opened, seeming to perceive amniotic fluid rippling, his form returned to an infant-like state, a small body connected by an umbilical cord, his consciousness incapable of thoughts.

Between waking and sleeping, he vaguely saw himself slowly growing, slowly developing, akin to returning to the mother’s womb, evolving from a fetus to a fully-fledged infant swaddled in a cradle. He was exceedingly drowsy, his spirit limited, with each awakening temporary and brief.

During Zheng Yi’s cycle of occasional consciousness and slumber, countless mysterious information surged into his mind, continually weaving and expanding, eventually forming a text, seemingly a mysterious secret technique, suddenly appearing in his mind.

This information appeared from nowhere, like a golden page floating quietly above his mind, clearly inscribed with large characters at the top.

"Celestial Human Rebirth Skill"!

This unseen secret technique, suddenly emerged in Zheng Yi’s mind, as he gradually awakened, it was instilled into his fundamental memory. At this moment, he lost all perception of the external world, even the ability to think.

Because his consciousness was wholly overshadowed by this secret technique, losing observation of the outside.

His mind descended into a serene state, with only the mysterious "Celestial Human Rebirth Skill" operating.

The body wrapped within the giant cocoon instinctively started channeling magical power, various cultivation systems weaving and intertwining, following the process and trends deduced by Super Brain Main God in the Incense Fire Dharma Realm, and integrating with the fundamental consolidation from his original body.

The entire process was executed unconsciously by Zheng Yi, controlled with precision by the mysteriously descended secret technique "Celestial Human Rebirth Skill." It operated without a hitch.

It seemed that everything was not much related to Zheng Yi.

In his hazy state of mind, between clarity and confusion, he entered another instinctive mode, with everything automatically functioning.
