Chapter 722: Immortal Artifact
Spirit Transformation cultivators in the lower realm stand at the pinnacle of the Immortal Cultivation World, effectively controlling the vast majority of the top-tier resources of the Immortal Cultivation World!
Any cultivation technique, secret art, or treasure... can be obtained at will.
Not only that, they hold even more precious opportunities that have drifted down from the upper realm; these are the rare treasures that even a group of Nascent Soul old monsters cannot get their hands on!
For instance, tokens such as the Array Disk, incense, and the Token are talismans that can connect to the upper realm and receive a response!
If one obtains the guidance of the Immortal Realm, even with only Nascent Soul cultivation, it is possible to ascend directly to the Immortal Realm!
This is the path that these Spirit Transformation old monsters have been bitterly pursuing!
Unfortunately, with the recent decline of Spirit Qi, even these tokens could not connect to the upper realm.
Yet this time, the emergence of the Blood Demon has allowed them to see hope.
The method of the Ghost Cultivator was actually able to break through the restrictions, making Situ Yin's cultivation comparable to Spirit Transformation Perfection, on the verge of the realm of Ascension!
Suddenly, he saw branches composed of thousands of pieces of flesh and blood stretching out upon that Blood Moon, and his expression abruptly became solemn.
"May my Dao Fruit be like this moon... uncorroded for billions of years..."
Beneath the bluestone, Xiaoqing seemed to have heard some incredible news, shrank her neck, and acted as if she hadn't heard anything...
Dongfang Jie raised his head to look at the moon, unable to help but slightly open his mouth wide.
The cultivator surnamed Nie from the Zhengqi Sect also let out a series of wails.
Jinchenzi smiled and said: "This realm has been disconnected for many years and has been invaded by the Blood Moon; the 'Five Directions Sect' of the Immortal Realm attaches great importance to it. I have come to the lower realm this time to resolve this matter... Even though you Demon Cultivators are effectively the original inhabitants of this realm, I shall treat everyone equally."
"Then..." Dongfang Jie and several Spirit Transformation cultivators were all full of trepidation: "How should we assist?"
At the top of the firmament, purple lightning danced wildly!
"But those who can succeed with this method are one in ten..."
At this moment, even the Spirit Transformation Ancestors who had experienced the vicissitudes of life could not help but have their minds shaken.
"Hmph... I have read an ancient book which says that beneath the Immortal Realm, there are three thousand small worlds... Our cultivation world is merely one of those three thousand, and having been invaded by the Demon Realm and disconnected for many years, it is inevitable that we are not highly regarded..."
What truly concerned the group of Spirit Transformation cultivators was the Boundary Breaking Power attracted when the other party ascended!
Perhaps the tokens had lost their effectiveness, or perhaps there was not enough time...
How vast and magnificent is Taiyin Star?
Even these Spirit Transformation cultivators would not dare to say they could touch it, let alone destroy it?
In short, he did not receive any response.
'What exactly does this invading Blood Moon represent?'
The incense was the most ordinary, burning a wisp of blue smoke that drifted into the shattered void...
"That is indeed the logic."
"Lord Immortal Envoy, would it be too early to start the war now?"
A Scarlet Moon hung in the pitch-black sky, casting down crimson moonlight.
'In other words, even if I clear out and leave now, it still counts as a profit!'
That wisp of incense finally broke...
After speaking...
It is normal even for a True Immortal not to possess an Immortal Artifact!
The void shattered like a mirror, revealing a black hole.
Without a doubt, this is a rather painful process.
Chirp!
The world suddenly darkened.
'The real war is about to begin...'
Jinchenzi looked toward the firmament, and even with the Cauldron of Universe blocking the view, he seemed to see the clues: "Taiyin Star has been polluted; the future of this realm is truly worrying..."
"I beg the Immortal Envoy to have mercy and guide us on the path of Ascension..." Dongfang Jie hurriedly bowed again.
Dongfang Jie was setting up a primitive Array Formation; after completing the task, he looked at Jinchenzi and suggested sincerely.
"I am not an immortal..."
"This seat is Jinchenzi, but I cannot be counted as an immortal; just call me Senior."
"It is actually an Immortal Artifact!"
The Extreme West.
On the Token, a Shadow of a demon suddenly emerged...
Although the Taixu Sect had studied the method of smuggling for a long time, the success rate was truly not high.
Aaron looked up at the firmament.
Jinchenzi came to the core of the Array Formation and placed in several top-grade Spirit Stones: "Since Taiyin has already become a nest for demons, then let us destroy Taiyin..."
Rip!
"Reporting to the Immortal Envoy..." Several old demons looked at each other, then said: "This Blood Moon Disaster came about in a weird way... and that Blood Demon Situ Yin does not seem to be the key to the Descent of the Immortal..."
After the void is completely shattered, the laws of this realm are weakened to the minimum, and one can then use this passage to attempt to contact the upper realm!
The Array Disk, Token, and incense each flashed with divine wonders...
On the Array Disk, the radiance of countless stars suddenly emerged, as if there were a brilliant galaxy inside...
Jinchenzi listened with a smile as everyone spoke about the situation regarding the 'Taiyin inversion and the Blood Moon Disaster', his expression unchanged: "Looking at it this way... to resolve this disaster of the Descent of the Immortal, we still need to solve the root cause, which is... Taiyin Star!"
The four-faced, eight-armed demon god submerged into the black hole, the pillar of light vanished... and all strange phenomena ceased to appear.
Under the powerful pressure of the Descent of the Immortal, the main body of the demon god was constantly shrinking... from the size of a mountain to the size of a normal person, rapidly climbing toward the top of the pillar of light...
"As for Ascension? As long as you assist me in completing the mission, when this envoy returns to the Immortal Realm, it would be no problem to take a few people along..."
Aaron looked toward the direction of the Zhengqi Sect, feeling speechless in his heart: "What can I do? I can't do anything... After all, I am only a weak Nascent Soul, how could I participate in such a major event involving the Immortal Realm where the baseline is Spirit Severing?"
In fact, the Imprint Ritual is simple if one wants it to be; one only needs to imprint their influence on a certain Mysterious Path, and that is enough!
Anyway, he, Fang Laozu, is the vanguard against the Ghost Cultivator in the Far West, and has nothing to do with the Moon Worship Cult Leader!
Dongfang Jie was overjoyed and transformed into a streak of escape light to greet them: "Respectfully welcome the Immortal Envoy to the mortal world!"
Suddenly...
As for the Demonic Dao Spirit Severing cultivators, they all had the good sense to hide to the side and act like good little children.
And such Immortal Artifacts, because they contain the laws of a realm, often have earth-shattering power, with the might to make the heavens and earth change color!
"Five Directions Sect of the Immortal Realm..."
Aaron sat cross-legged on a blue stone, suddenly muttering to himself.
Dongfang Jie and the other Spirit Severing cultivators understood immediately.
"When the great war comes, just stay far away," Jinchenzi replied with a smile: "It is not that this seat looks down on you all, but the might of an Immortal Treasure... contains the power of a realm, involves rules, and is profound and mysterious... In battles of this level, no matter how many of you there are, it is of no use."
A moment later...
"Impossible..."
The shattered void was gradually being repaired, and the Boundary Breaking Power gradually dissipated...
Many Spirit Severing cultivators sighed one after another, then became full of fighting spirit again: "No matter what, we must all fight for our lives against the heavens again... We must try again, otherwise... I am not reconciled!"
Between heaven and earth, it was as if a black hole had shattered open, and a pillar of light appeared, enveloping the four-faced, eight-armed Demon God that Situ Yin had transformed into.
"Ancient mighty figures evaluated the realms of immortal cultivation, saying there is a path of Spirit Severing and Return to Void in the world... Is the so-called Void Realm the cultivators of the Return to Void and Refining Void realms?"
In a trance, one could see a large black Peng, carrying a giant green ox on its back, rushing into the shattered void induced by Situ Yin.
The sun set and the moon rose.
Jinchenzi replied with an extremely serious expression: "After arriving in this realm, this seat discovered that the influence of that Blood Moon on this realm has gradually deepened, as if it had penetrated into the bone marrow..."
Those dead cultivators can testify!
"Actually... even if a mighty figure in the Immortal Realm comparable to my true body takes action to expel my true body from this realm, or even kills me directly... there is no loss..."
"How could it be like this?"
As for success or failure, they did not care much.
The Buddhist Spirit Severing cultivator looked at his own Array Disk, could not help but helplessly press his palms together, and loudly recited a Buddha name.
But after passing this hurdle, she will be gratified by the decision she made today.
Very clearly, the Buddhist attempt to contact the upper realm... failed.
At this time, the sky curtain fell, and that round of Scarlet Blood Moon emerged...
Feeling this crimson moonlight, a trace of gratified smile appeared on the corner of Aaron's mouth.
This is the token for the three families of Buddha, Demon, and Taoism to contact the upper realm!
Just as Dongfang Jie and the others were casting spells, among the demon cultivators, two Spirit Severing demon cultivators whose faces could not be seen and who had scales on their bodies laughed out loud: "We have long had no connection with the Demon Realm, and even the tokens have been lost... We also do not look favorably upon this kind of summoning method, so we will go first... Fellow Daoists, see you again if fate allows!"
"Fellow Daoists... the information contained in this Incense communication method is more than that of a Jade Slip... We just need to wait silently; if the upper realm responds, it will surely, surely..."
"Every day that passes, this heaven and earth is polluted by one more point; it really cannot be waited for..."
An Altar.
Dongfang Jie looked at this scene, and despair could not help but rise on his face.
The scholar surnamed Nie of the Zhengqi Sect snorted coldly, as if comforting, and as if in unwillingness...
Jinchenzi smiled and spoke in an ancient language of the Immortal Cultivation World, but these old Spirit Severing monsters naturally all understood.
For the sake of Changsheng, what would a cultivator not do?
"Try a few more times, it may not be impossible to succeed!"
"After all, the Ascension ritual has been maintained for so long, it should be enough for the true body to advance, right?"
Therefore, they joined forces to take action; Dongfang Jie did not hesitate to be seriously injured, and the Zhengqi Sect did not hesitate to let their own mountain-protecting divine beast perish!
The Buddhist and Demonic Dao... also spent their entire fortune, working together to refine Situ Yin into a Demon God.
"Damn it... could it be that we also have to learn from Fellow Daoist Peng and Fellow Daoist Ox... next time we encounter a boundary break, we should decisively smuggle ourselves over?"
Could it be that the Refining Void realm above Spirit Severing is actually this powerful?
An Immortal Artifact is a powerful treasure even above a Spirit Treasure; it is said that its gestation also requires the law power of a realm, so it is very scarce and rare.
Having the possibility of contacting the Immortal Realm, Dongfang Jie even gave up the previous local methods for this.
"Sigh... Fellow Daoist Peng and Fellow Daoist Ox have incredibly amazing true body defenses and can attempt to forcibly pass through the void channel to smuggle themselves to the upper realm..."
The scholar surnamed Nie gritted his teeth and said: "We cannot contact the Immortal Realm, perhaps because the time limit is too short... Next time we must find a way to extend the boundary-breaking Ascension as much as possible..."
Dongfang Jie looked toward this heaven and earth, his Divine Sense keenly discovering the difference.
He said the last few sentences to those Demonic Dao Spirit Severing cultivators, his tone very peaceful.
By this time, all the Spirit Severing cultivators had cast their gazes upon that stick of Incense.
And the next moment, the Shadow of the Demon on the Token also dissipated again, causing the three Spirit Severing demon heads to wail: "Ancestors... why can we not connect to the Demon Realm?"
Hou Shan of Medicine King Peak.
"The Ascension is about to end..."
After Jinchenzi finished speaking, he looked up at the starry sky again.
Dongfang Jie recalled for a moment and immediately thought of something.
If they try a few more times of despair, perhaps some people will take the initiative to try the Ghost Cultivator method...
Dongfang Jie, who had been studying the smuggling method for a long time, sighed: "Alas, we cultivators are not like the demon race; our physical bodies are weak... the possibility of using the smuggling method to reach the upper realm is too small..."
Boom!
"The Blood Moon phenomenon, even the Immortal Realm has never heard of such a thing..."
"Senior Jinchenzi... we in the lower realm have suffered under the Blood Moon for too long, and have finally received the mercy of the upper realm..."
"Furthermore... after the Ascension Ritual is completed, the main body is about to deploy another avatar to prepare for the 'Imprint Ritual', right? This ritual... is even more difficult than Ascension..."
Several Spirit Severing cultivators spoke one after another, discussing the pros and cons of this operation and accumulating experience for the next plan.
And this curling blue smoke, sinking into the void, seemed to be endless...
As long as Situ Yin is captured and forced to 'Ascend' voluntarily!
Then, at the moment of Ascension, the connection with the upper realm will naturally be opened; regardless of which upper realm is connected, it means these cultivators have hope once again!
Jinchenzi seemed to have a good personality, and even introduced himself to the lower realm cultivators: "Even in the Immortal Realm, True Immortals who have cultivated to immortality are still a very small minority; the majority are still cultivators like us... As for me, I am but a mere Void Realm Immortal Cultivator, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."
Dongfang Jie and the others exchanged glances, knowing that this Immortal Envoy likely possessed more than one Immortal Artifact as a trump card. While becoming even more respectful, they felt a chill in their hearts: 'This powerful Immortal sect... actually attaches such importance to the affairs of the lower realm?'
From within the black hole, an 'Immortal' with the bearing of an immortal and the spirit of the Tao was slowly descending!
"A descending Immortal?"
'Let us see what kind of result the main body can produce with the higher Immortal Realm of this Immortal Cultivation World...'
'An Imprinter can gain the ability to manipulate a certain Mysterious Path, equivalent to half a 'Source', and even if they die, they can be resurrected with the help of previous arrangements and influence... It can be said that once the Mysterious System reaches this stage, it can be called half a 'Hidden Existence', or even go on to impersonate an Evil God...'
'But how can imprinting only one Mysterious Path be enough?'
"What a demonic light... If you are allowed to continue existing, who knows how many more people you will harm!"
"The Blood Demon ascends, and an Immortal descends to the world?"
But Aaron knew that the main body would certainly not be satisfied with this and was preparing to make a big splash.
His gaze swept past the Array Formation, seemingly seeing directly into the newly opened 'Shushan Sword Hall', where Shen Xiuxin, with the support of Ziling and the younger generation of the Shen Family, was struggling to integrate into the Yaowang Sect.
Seeming to notice his surprise, Jinchenzi laughed: "I do not have such True Immortal abilities... However, this mission to the lower realm is special, and the Five Directions Sect has temporarily lent me an Immortal Artifact!"
Subsequently, he took the initiative to begin the Ascension...
When in doubt, Aaron prepared to play it safe once more.
A Flying Hook, shimmering with flowing light, appeared in Jinchenzi's hand.
Dongfang Jie and the others almost forgot to breathe, their eyes fixed only on that white jade-like curved hook: "Is this the legendary... Immortal Treasure?"
