Chapter 751: Wang Ming Immortal Endowment: The Myriad Mechanism Demon Monster!

Mechanism Cave Abode.

Cultivation secret chamber.

The walls, cast from brass, reveal a large number of mechanism components; there are gears rotating slowly, and levers acting in coordination.

The heavy copper door of the secret chamber has already been tightly sealed, without even a sliver of a gap.

The sound of the mechanism components operating fills this secret chamber, constantly adding to the solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Ban Ji sits cross-legged on the prayer mat in the very center; he is expressionless, his eyes tightly shut.

His cheekbones are high, and the light shining down from above casts mottled shadows on his face; there are already faint beads of sweat on the tip of his aquiline nose.

Suddenly, a whisper comes from the void.

Ban Ji’s heart jolts instantly: "It’s here!"

His body reacts instinctively at this moment; his thin, gaunt back suddenly arches, and the veins on his neck bulge.

The whisper is intermittent, entering his ears like strange, long fingernails scraping everywhere inside his skull.

Ban Ji grinds his teeth and opens his eyes; bloodshot lines are filling his eye sockets at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The whisper quickly becomes continuous, and to Ban Ji, the sound grows louder and louder.

His reason constantly diminishes, and suddenly, an unbearable, bone-deep itch strikes his right foot!

Ban Ji curls his right leg, stretches out his fingers, and subconsciously begins to scratch.

It is unbearably itchy!

Ban Ji puts steel hooks on his fingertips, tears through his shoe, and scratches desperately.

Soon, his right foot is torn and bloody, revealing the stark white bone. For Ban Ji, the pain this brings is like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert finding a few drops of water!

But soon, the whispering sound becomes as loud as a bronze gong, constantly and forcefully pouring into Ban Ji’s ears.

"Shut up! Shut up!" He strikes both ears with his palms, which are wreathed in demonic light; his eardrums are destroyed instantly. But even after losing his hearing, the whispering only weakens slightly; it still reverberates in his cranial cavity, knocking against his temples until they bulge, and veins pop out on his forehead.

At this time, Ban Ji is already lying on the ground, his body constantly twisting under the dual assault of sharp pain and intense itching, like a lone boat struggling desperately in a stormy sea.

His head feels like it is splitting, while the intense itch on his right foot feels like a venomous snake climbing up his calf.

He subconsciously uses his heel to constantly strike the floor tiles, causing blood to splatter; flesh and bone fragments mix together to form a paste that sticks to everything nearby.

The originally white leg bone now emits a murky, yellowish-brown light, actually undergoing a transformation, turning into pieces and segments of mechanisms!

Immortal Endowment—Myriad Mechanism Demon Monster!

This is not a sequela of Ban Ji practicing the demonic art "Greedy Mechanism Demon Heart Art," but rather the Myriad Mechanism Demon Monster Immortal Endowment activating.

A cultivator possessing this Immortal Endowment will be constantly irrigated with the principles of mechanism arts, the Demonic Sect, and the Strange Dao.

In Ban Ji’s field of vision, chaotic and disorganized runes begin to appear.

Ban Ji cannot understand these runes at all; he closes his eyes amidst his roars.

The darkness is only temporary.

Soon, various runes appear in Ban Ji’s vision again, like living maggots boring through the darkness.

The flesh and blood of his entire right calf turn into a translucent gel; not only does the leg bone transform into a mechanism, but it also emits a powerful suction force.

In this cultivation secret chamber, many brass mechanisms are placed. These mechanisms are pulled by an invisible suction force, crashing one after another into Ban Ji’s severed limb.

Bang bang bang, clang clang clang————

The mechanisms collide one after another, being firmly sucked in and tightly condensed into a mass.

The murky yellowish-brown light spreads rapidly, dismantling and reconstructing these mechanisms.

After a dozen breaths.

Ban Ji’s right calf is already unrecognizable. Gears are embedded in the leg bone, and chainsaws pierce the fascia. Gelatinous flesh wraps around various foreign objects like living wax.

At the same time, Ban Ji’s magic power, like countless threads woven into a net, permeates every corner of his right calf.

His entire right leg has swollen into a giant object that would require two adults to embrace. The outermost layer of skin has turned into brass, a large number of gears rotate within the leg bone, and at the right knee, blood mist is constantly being spat outward.

Because of his roaring, Ban Ji’s throat has become hoarse.

His eyes are vacant, his pupils somewhat unfocused from the torture.

At this moment, the jade pendant at his neck suddenly explodes with an inch of green light.

As the green light enters his brain, Ban Ji’s gradually chaotic consciousness suddenly becomes clear.

He barely opens his eyes to look; various runes almost occupy his entire field of vision. Between the gaps of these runes, he sees his right leg and sees the purple intent spreading upward from his knee along his thigh.

"Sever it for me!"

Ban Ji swings his palm ruthlessly, his magic power erupting like a blade, cutting directly into his right thigh and severing it completely.

ottkΛno￠o

Blood flows across the severed leg, causing Ban Ji to gasp and grind his teeth tightly.

His gaze is like a vulture, staring at the wound, and he discovers with disappointment that there is still purple intent remaining, which is eroding everywhere along the flesh.

As the purple intent intensifies, the bone-deep itch returns!

As for the right calf he actively severed, it is swept into the corner of the wall by his magic power.

The now-unrecognizable right leg, as if no longer suppressed, lets itself go, erupting with an even more powerful suction force, attracting all the remaining mechanism creations in the cultivation secret chamber.

The sound of gears meshing is as dense as a downpour, and the levers strike like hammers again and again. The right calf begins to swell rapidly once more, and the chaotic aura spreads outward, gradually carrying a hint of danger.

Ban Ji pants heavily, covered in sweat.

The whispering in his ears becomes increasingly intense, and the runes before his eyes become so dense that they are about to occupy his entire field of vision; the few remaining gaps are disappearing rapidly.

At the critical moment, Ban Ji, relying on his last shred of clarity, forms seals with both hands.

Divine Art—Blind Foolishness!

A large amount of gray smoke descends from thin air, landing on Ban Ji.

The gray smoke condenses rapidly, turning into bone-porcelain-like gray-white shackles that pierce through Ban Ji’s upper body; two chains pass from his eyes into his skull and then pierce out through his ears.

The Divine Art quickly takes effect.

The strange runes in Ban Ji’s field of vision become blurry, as if covered by a hundred layers of grease.

The bloodshot lines in his eye sockets decrease by more than half, his pupils become unfocused and turn gray-white, and saliva mixed with blood drips from his foolishly smiling mouth onto the floor tiles.

The previously unbearable itch recedes like a tide, and although the sharp pain that had been suppressed rises, Ban Ji is unable to perceive it in his current state.

The wound is not treated, but the blood has stopped, all because the flesh at the wound has transformed into brass-textured mechanism armor plates.

Ban Ji lies in a pool of blood, his right leg from the knee down empty. He smiles foolishly, his fingers still dug tightly into the floor tiles, his fingernails all folded back.

His severed leg continues to tremble, its form like a bubble, constantly expanding and contracting, its appearance also changing in strange and bizarre ways.

The severed leg eventually turns into a giant object the size of a carriage cabin, its surface filled with various mechanism components. They are mixed together without any pattern, yet they are able to operate.

Bang.

With a soft sound, a human-like mechanism palm suddenly extends from one side of this ugly and strange giant mechanism object.

The palm is still sticky with strange gel, its five fingers tapping on the floor tiles; after groping around, it turns its direction like a venomous snake that has smelled its prey, lunging directly toward Ban Ji’s main body.

But its momentum comes to an abrupt halt the next instant.

It is dragged down by the giant mechanism monster behind it, and its reach is extremely limited.

But the palm does not give up; it has the beast-like desire from its origin, and it drags the giant body, moving desperately toward Ban Ji’s main body.

At first, it does not move at all.

But soon, its body trembles slightly, constantly shedding various broken mechanism fragments, which adhere to the palm, causing it to slowly grow larger.

The palm gradually gains strength, actually moving a tiny bit, approaching Ban Ji’s main body.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The Blind Foolishness Divine Art reaches its time limit, and the condensed gray smoke shackles dissipate, turning back into gray smoke.

Ban Ji regains his reason and suddenly opens his mouth, gasping for air.

The sharp pain feels like a pointed iron awl, digging fiercely into his nerves, but the fact that there is only pain and no itching makes the experienced Ban Ji ecstatic.

He endures the sharp pain, quickly checks himself, and scans his surroundings.

A giant, strange mechanism monster seems to be looking down at him. The palm has already become as large as a python, still an arm’s length away from Ban Ji.

But it is motionless, stopped in place, without the slightest aura.

Ban Ji’s heart skips a beat, and then a smile appears on his pale face.

The smile expands rapidly, and finally, he lets out a triumphant laugh of survival.

"This time, the Immortal Endowment activation, I have successfully survived!"

Myriad Mechanism Demon Monster.

This Immortal Endowment has made Ban Ji different since he was a child.

At first, the activation interval of the Myriad Mechanism Demon Monster talent was long, and the principles instilled into Ban Ji were minimal.

The young Ban Ji just thought he was having nightmares.

But when he entered school, he showed an almost intuitive understanding of the practice of mechanism arts.

According to common sense, mechanism arts involve calculations, but Ban Ji would just take one look and feel from the bottom of his heart: the result is like this.

And every time he calculated it, the result was consistent with his intuition. In fact, intuition even surpassed calculation, as calculations can also be wrong.

This excellent performance immediately attracted the attention of Ban Ji’s parents.

And as the activation interval of the Myriad Mechanism Demon Monster decreased and the principles increased, Ban Ji showed symptoms of fainting and convulsions. And every time after "falling ill," his "intuition" for mechanism arts would grow by a large margin.

Ban Ji’s parents could not solve the "strange illness" and could only seek help from the family.

The family researched it deeply and discovered many mysteries of this talent: it is not any talent recorded, but it is extraordinary. It is not just mechanism arts; it also imparts knowledge of the Demonic Sect and the Strange Dao.

And these pieces of knowledge act directly on Ban Ji’s body, rather than being instilled into the spiritual sea, which is what caused him to develop an almost intuitive "comprehension."

Comprehension is just the appearance; it is Ban Ji’s body itself knowing how things work.

Fainting is also just an appearance; the reality is that Ban Ji cannot bear the principles of these three aspects, so the body can only spontaneously protect itself, causing Ban Ji to faint to avoid the instillation of principles.

But this instillation cannot be completely exempted, and as the Myriad Mechanism Demon Monster activates more frequently, the intensity of the instillation becomes more ferocious.

After discovering this, the Ban family attached complete importance to Ban Ji.

At first, the whole Ban family thought this was a drawback of the talent, a sequela, but after discovering the reality, they were shocked—this is no defect at all; it is clearly just that Ban Ji cannot keep up.

The talent was confirmed as an Immortal Endowment, and the Ban family surrounded Ban Ji, secretly tailoring a cultivation path for him.

"Greedy Mechanism Demon Heart Art" was carefully selected, and the Ban family paid a heavy price for it.

This demonic art specializes in the spiritual sea, intended to improve Ban Ji’s learning ability. Instead of passively using his body to bear the irrigation of principles, it is better to learn actively.

This was a correct move, allowing Ban Ji to adapt quickly, his strength climbing step by step, and his practice of mechanism arts and the demonic path advancing by leaps and bounds.

By the time Ban Ji reached Foundation Establishment, the Immortal Endowment had once again significantly strengthened!

Ban Ji began to struggle to cope.

The Ban family naturally would not give up on the future hope possessing an Immortal Endowment and helped with all their might. To alleviate Ban Ji’s predicament, they provided a lot of help from all aspects.

And to completely solve this defect, they even sought help from the outside while maintaining secrecy.

An accidental opportunity led them to encounter the Wandering One Loose Immortal, who was traveling the world. This extraordinary person’s cultivation reached the Void Refinement level and was a world-renowned figure, almost recognized as the strongest divination cultivator of the current era.

The Ban family’s Supreme Elders prayed devoutly, and the Wandering One Loose Immortal divined for Ban Ji, calculating that the latter’s Immortal Endowment was unique—it was a King’s Mandate!

"All talents throughout history are bestowed by the heavens."

"The Dao of Heaven diminishes the surplus to supplement the deficiency. Looking at history, a king has never been born from mechanism arts or the Strange Dao."

"The heavens have placed a piece here. Of course, it is certainly not just this one place."

"In the future, if Ban Ji succeeds, he will be the king of mechanisms and the Strange Dao."

"It is reasonable for you to name this Immortal Endowment the Myriad Mechanism Demon Monster."

The Ban family’s Supreme Elder did not understand and asked: "If so, why are there principles of the Demonic Sect involved in the instillation?"

The Wandering One Loose Immortal sighed leisurely: "This is the great tribulation hundreds of years from now; the demonic path rises while the righteous path wanes, which is the great trend of the two worlds. Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the world has been at peace for a long time, and the righteous path has suppressed everything, reaching the peak of prosperity. Prosperity leads to decline; the tide rises and falls, which is the cycle of heaven and earth."

The Supreme Elder asked again: "The golden age of cultivation has lasted for nearly a thousand years. This great tribulation must be a turmoil of heaven and earth. Will a Fourth Emperor be born?"

The Wandering One Loose Immortal said: "The heavenly secrets are chaotic; how could we calculate it? But this time, even if it is just a king, it is the most special one in history."

This answer made the Ban family’s Supreme Elders present feel invigorated.

What is the most special?

A king of mechanism arts and the Strange Dao—isn't that the most special?!

In other words, our family’s Ban Ji possesses the King’s Mandate and is very likely the future king who will unify the world?

Is our Ban family likely to overcome the development shackles of hundreds of years and leap to become one of the most powerful royal relatives in the whole world?

The Supreme Elder knelt on the ground and continued to seek advice from the Wandering One Loose Immortal.

The Wandering One Loose Immortal only left behind a pile of precious materials: "Our fate is exhausted. This pile of precious materials can be used in conjunction with the Clan Destiny Pivot Chain to calculate Ban Ji’s path to kingship. Just follow the results of the calculation and proceed step by step to achieve the King’s Mandate. At the very least, it will be a pattern of hegemony over a country."
