Regardless of whether the Demon-Sealing Tower could ascend successfully, it was important to exude momentum first. He strove to create the impression that if the Magical Treasure's ascension succeeded, it would be able to seal the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre. Otherwise, if the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre discovered it couldn't control a God Transformation Level Demon-Sealing Tower, disaster would follow for it.

The Demon-Sealing Tower's ascension was still ongoing. Jia Ren continued to meditate, maintaining the Xuan Gui Shield in a low-consumption state. After the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre had fled, it never returned.

The ascension of the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure continued for three months before the tremors ceased. It had completed its transformation and had officially ascended to a God Transformation-grade Magic Treasure. The Demon-Sealing Tower didn't change much in appearance; its body was pitch-black and without luster, as if it could absorb all light.

In the Void, a black tower shadow emerged. It was a thousand zhang tall with thirty-three levels, symbolizing the thirty-three layers of Beyond the Heavens. This was a phenomenon that only occurred when a Magical Treasure ascended to the God Transformation Level. When the Xuan Gui Shield ascended to the God Transformation Level, no such phenomenon occurred, only because Wang Fugui's Cave had a Forbidden Great Array set up, blocking it.

By now, Jia Ren possessed two God Transformation-grade Magic Treasures. The Demon-Sealing Tower shrank to three feet three inches, resting in his palm. The Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure became heavy; as soon as he stored it in his Dantian, he could feel its oppressive force.

A Life-bound Magic Treasure being too powerful while its owner is too weak is not a good thing. Storing it in the Dantian would also create a burden on cultivation, affecting my practice. Sigh, my cultivation improvement is too slow…

In the distance, a blue falcon remained perched, observing Jia Ren's every move—a spy left behind by the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre.

It wasn't that the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre didn't want to come, but... The Wicked Flame had been burning for three months and had not yet extinguished. The Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre was still suffering from the torment of the Wicked Flame, and its combat power was limited. A dozen deaths had caused the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre to develop a psychological trauma. The Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure had smoothly ascended to the God Transformation Level and now possessed the ability to seal it, so the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre dared not rashly set foot here.

"Suppress!"

Nine-tenths of Jia Ren's Spiritual Power gushed out. In an instant, a strong rosy light soared into the sky, forming a Demon-Suppressing Domain spanning dozens of miles. This place became a Forbidden Mystery Domain; no trace of bizarre aura remained.

BOOM!

The blue falcon froze in place; the Seed of Demonic Illusion parasitizing it was instantly purified and vanished without a trace.

After the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure ascended to the God Transformation Level, its power was far beyond what it was before; its suppressing and sealing abilities had increased tenfold. The power of the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light grew daily, its range wider, effortlessly suppressing Bizarre Demons. The only downside was that it consumed too much Spiritual Power. The previous Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light didn't consume much Spiritual Power, and using it more than a dozen times in one go was no problem. After ascending to a God Transformation-level Magic Treasure, one use could consume most of his Spiritual Power.

A God Transformation Level Demon-Sealing Tower can only be used once…

Jia Ren had anticipated the issue of excessive Spiritual Power consumption, so it wasn't surprising. Apart from that, the use of the Demon-Sealing Tower was not greatly affected. Sealing Bizarre Demons and providing the Sacrificial Fire could operate stably, with higher efficiency than before. The Wicked Flame was stronger, killing Bizarre Demons more than twice as often per day, and the output of Sacrificial Fire also doubled. After the Demon-Sealing Tower ascended to the God Transformation Level, aside from the high Spiritual Power consumption preventing multiple uses, the all-around enhancements were astonishing.

"Let the rosy light bloom!"

The light released by the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light gradually stabilized and moved with the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure. The Spiritual Power consumption wasn't as shocking as its first use, but maintaining it for a long period was still an astonishing amount.

"Retract!"

Jia Ren, unable to simultaneously supply two God Transformation-grade Magic Treasures with Spiritual Power, shrank the Xuan Gui Shield and had it fly into his palm.

Good, the damage is not severe.

The Xuan Gui Shield's surface was covered with fine claw marks, but they only affected the shield's exterior and weren't a significant issue. With a supply of Sacrificial Fire, it would just take some time to repair the damage to the Xuan Gui Shield.

The Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure had successfully ascended. The Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light was now strong enough to counter the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre's attacks. Still, out of caution, the Ninety-Nine Layers of Thousandfold Water swirled around his Insect External Incarnation. His main body settled steadily within the Mountain and Sea Pearl, swallowing an Elixir to restore Spiritual Power and quickly recovering it.

The Insect External Incarnation didn't waste time. Holding the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure in one hand, it rushed towards Grand Wilderness Mountain. Grand Wilderness Mountain had become desolate, with weeds growing everywhere. The place had been unvisited for too long, with weeds tall enough to 'swallow' a person scattered all about. The sounds of insects echoed in the weeds, along with the noises of unknown creatures crawling. One never knew when some kind of Magical Beast or venomous bug would leap out. The Insect External Incarnation's Black Dragon Vajra Body was comparable to a Magical Treasure. Ordinary Magical Beasts and venomous bugs couldn't breach its defenses.

The Insect External Incarnation didn't waste any time. It sent out a Yaksha to create a path to the underground, then extracted the Spirit Vein of Grand Wilderness Mountain and sent it into the Mountain and Sea Pearl. The next stop was the Spirit Vein of the Five Elements Sect, which it extracted effortlessly.

What a pity, the quality is much lower. The quality of the Grand Wilderness Mountain's Spirit Vein was the lowest at 1, the Five Elements Sect's was 2, the Cold Mountain Temple's was 3, and Wang Fugui's nine top-grade Spirit Veins were 4. Having any Spirit Vein is better than none, and I'm not picky.

The Insect External Incarnation didn't waste time and headed straight for the location of Lake of Smoky Waves from his memory. His Spiritual Eye activated, and the emerald-like surface of the lake loomed in the distance. Further away, thick fog spread over the lake, lingering. Lake of Smoky Waves hadn't changed much from what he remembered. This was where he'd made his first fortune, and the Mist Bizarre was also the first Bizarre Demon he had faced head-on. After many years, he had returned.

The Insect External Incarnation didn't need to do anything; it merely had to hold the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure and continue to approach. The Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light touched the dense fog, continuously emitting a sizzling sound, much like ice meeting hot oil. The mist, as if sentient, recoiled from the threat and began to flee. The Insect External Incarnation landed on the lake's surface, transforming into a ripple of water, and reached the central foggy area. The Mist Lady, formed from countless wisps of mist, fled in fear and anger. The moment the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light arrived, all her efforts were in vain. Large swathes of mist melted away like snow, leaving only the shadow of the central Mist Lady.

The Mist Bizarre had once terrified countless Loose Cultivators from the Great Wilderness Market, forcing them to flee miserably. Now, it crumbled easily before him.

"A gentleman's revenge is not too late even after a hundred years," he declared. "Capture!"

The Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light swept up the powerless Mist Lady and delivered her into the fourteenth layer of the Demon-Sealing Tower.

"Shi Bai, please let me go!"

"I beg you..."

Wang Mingyan was confined to the thirteenth layer of the Demon-Sealing Tower, having taken the form of the White-dress Lady Bizarre, with the Wicked Flame burning fiercely around her. She had been in the Demon-Sealing Tower for three months. At first, she had the strength to curse. Later, she could only beg and play the victim.

"As an old acquaintance, I will send you into the cycle of reincarnation," the Insect External Incarnation stated. It had no intention of releasing anyone; the only thing it could do was expedite Wang Mingyan's reincarnation.

Now that the Mist Bizarre was in the Demon-Sealing Tower, the only thing of interest left here was the Spirit Stone Vein. This was also one of its most important goals for this trip. The Insect External Incarnation's speed was astonishing; a distance of less than a hundred miles could be traversed in half the time it took to drink a cup of tea. Never having been to the depths of the Great Wilderness before and unfamiliar with the terrain, it could only rush towards the location remembered from the map. It encountered neither Bizarre Demons nor Magical Beasts along the way. The Magical Beasts from the Barren Extreme Land were all spies for the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre. Any that dared to come close to the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light's range would be instantly purified.

"I've finally found it!"

The Spirit Stone Vein was not difficult to locate, as his Divine Sense quickly detected a gathering of white bones. Remnants of robes bore the insignias of the Five Elements Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Yuding Sect. Further afield, the ground was littered with corroded and malfunctioning array tools. They had been tainted by some power and had lost all their Spiritual Nature.

"This is the place!"

In front of a dark cave, mining carts and pickaxes used for transporting Ore Stones lay scattered. Farther away were skeletons, white tinged with black. Decades had passed. When Jia Ren arrived, the lingering aura of Bizarre Demons from long ago still hadn't dissipated.

The Black Blood Bizarre was sealed within the Spirit Stone Vein; this place was a restriction.

Following the mining tunnel downward, the farther in, the rougher the path became. Several hundred Golden Armor King Worms and Yakshas flew ahead, dispersing into different tunnels, while the Insect External Incarnation continued downward along the main passage. After multiple excavations, the mining tunnels were extremely deep and crisscrossed in every direction. The deeper they went, the more suffocating the air became, with sporadic Fragmented Spirit Stones adorning the mine walls.

"Is this the spot?"

The Insect External Incarnation halted. A huge Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein appeared before its eyes, its center bearing a large gap. Beyond that, the gap was filled with solidified black blood. The Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein was littered with many unrecognizable restrictions, resembling Town Ghoul Inscriptions, yet even more complex.

This is the Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein that sealed the Black Blood Bizarre…

The Insect External Incarnation looked up to another location and saw another broken Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein, seemingly sealing an unknown Bizarre Demon. This block of Superior Grade Spirit Stone was even larger than the one that had sealed the Black Blood Bizarre.

Could more than one Bizarre Demon have escaped? Jia Ren had previously encountered the Black Blood Bizarre; now it appeared that at least two had escaped. The situation of the other is unclear.

The Insect External Incarnation collected the two Superior Grade Spirit Stone Veins, planning to study the inscriptions on them after returning.

A rewarding harvest. The two football-sized Superior Grade Spirit Stone Veins could be cut into at least two hundred Superior Grade Spirit Stones. Regrettably, the inner glow of the Superior Grade Spirit Stones is dim, casting doubt on their usability. This is just the beginning!

The scale of the Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein was far greater than this; its most precious part lay buried deep underground. The Heavenly Sword Sect had been the first to discover this massive Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein, and by breaking its seal, they had unleashed the Bizarre Demons.

"Begin excavating!"

The Golden Armor King Worms and the Yakshas sprang into action, joining the mining ranks.

"Be careful not to damage the large Superior Grade Spirit Stone Veins."

Only a portion of the Spirit Stone Vein had been excavated, so it was uncertain if only two Bizarre Demons were sealed here; there might be more. Except for one that had reached the Third Rank, the Golden Armor King Worms were all Second Order. With limited future resources, there was no need to invest too much in these mining insects. Their strength was more than enough for mining.

As rocks tumbled and debris flew, the Golden Armor King Worms dug deeper. The Earth Vision Technique and Eye of Prospecting searched everywhere, probing the extent of the Spirit Stone Vein.

There's a significant amount of Spirit Stone ore hidden underground! A single glance revealed a large quantity of Spirit Stone ore buried underground.

A Yaksha was the first to emerge, clutching a football-sized Spirit Stone Vein. It was densely covered in restrictions and seemed to seal something within.

Were there still Bizarre Demons sealed here?! They lay buried under the ground, awaiting discovery.
