Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 368 Fifth Order Sea Demon! Returning Ancestor Infant Carp!_1


The waters around Coral Island were dyed red with the blood of Sea Demons, and their corpses were thrown into the Mountain and Sea Pearl.

Two Fourth Order Sea Demons and six Third Order Sea Demons—the astonishing power of the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill was on full display.

This didn't include the multitude of First and Second Order Magical Beasts drawn to the scene; their strength was too weak to catch his eye.

It was time to go!

The Insect External Incarnation collected the Formation and transformed into an Escape Light, leaving the area far behind.

He flew for thousands of miles without finding a suitable island.

"Ice Sealing Technique!"

With a palm strike on the sea's surface, a vast chill spread out, stunningly fast freezing the water into ice.

The Insect External Incarnation landed onto the icy surface, established a Mist Trapping Formation, and began to brew the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill with Heavenly Fragrance Grass.

He used the time spent luring the Sea Demons to disassemble the Magical Beasts he had hunted, harvesting their Demon Souls and Demon Cores.

Before he could finish processing all the sea demon materials, new Sea Demons took the bait.

A Fourth Order Sea Demon and two Third Order Sea Demons fell at the hands of the Insect External Incarnation.

The effects of the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill were excellent—Sea Demons that had survived in the Tianlan Sea until now had notable abilities for self-preservation and concealing their presence. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for them to live this long under the watchful eyes of numerous hunting cultivators.

Unfortunately, they encountered the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill.

In the past, other hunting cultivators would spend great effort, hunting Sea Demons all over the place. They would struggle to find even a single Third Order Sea Demon in more than a month's time.

Jia Ren was different. As soon as he brewed the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill, the Sea Demons that were previously well-hidden would scramble out, queuing up to meet their deaths.

Shoot once, move to a new spot, and attract the Sea Demons.

In just three short months, alternating between using the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill and the Ancestor Beast Holy Pill, he had swept clean a sea area of 30,000 miles.

Only First and Second Order Sea Demons managed to escape with their lives.

Could I have killed them all...?

His guess was close to the truth.

In the 30,000 miles of sea territory, there might have been a few lucky survivors, their numbers countable on one's fingers.

It's time to switch to another sea area...

The Insect External Incarnation flew back to Green Condensation Island. The island was crowded with cultivators, most of whom wore gloomy expressions and seemed dispirited.

Many had traveled vast distances to hunt Sea Demons in the Tianlan Sea, only to have nothing to show for their efforts after more than three months of toil. Such dreadful luck!

Could it be that the Magical Beast hunting near Green Condensation Island was overdone, and now there are scarcely any left?

The Insect External Incarnation overheard the conversations of the surrounding cultivators and silently distanced himself from the shops buying Demonic Beast Materials.

People do not worry about scarcity, but about uneven distribution.

If everyone else had no gains while he sold a large amount of Demonic Beast Materials, it would easily arouse jealousy.

The space inside the Mountain and Sea Pearl was vast. There was no rush to sell.

This time, he had used more than thirty Ancestral Fish Sage Pills and Ancestor Beast Holy Pills, reaping a shocking quantity of Magical Beasts each time. Each hunt brought a substantial yield.

Fifty-seven Fourth Order Sea Demons, one hundred and seventy-five Third Order Sea Demons.

Over two hundred Sea Demons of Golden Core level and above—the nearby high-rank Sea Demons were almost entirely captured in one sweep.

If all the Demonic Beast Materials were sold, the Spirit Stones earned would be astronomical.

I should find a place now!

The Insect External Incarnation made his way to the central area of Green Condensation Island, where a long-range Teleportation Array was set up, allowing fast travel to other large islands.

"Green Condensation Island can teleport to Yunji Island, and the transfer fee is 1,500 Spirit Stones."

"To teleport to Qingsang Island, the fee is 3,000 Spirit Stones."

"To teleport to Tianlan, the fee is 8,000 Spirit Stones."

"..."

The teleportation fee varied with distance—the greater the distance, the higher the fee.

Tianlan was at least 170,000 to 180,000 miles away from Green Condensation Island. It was too time-consuming. A normal Golden Core Cultivator would need to fly for three months, including the time needed to recover Spiritual Power and accounting for potential dangers along the way.

Although 8,000 Spirit Stones was expensive, it was only so in the eyes of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

First and Second Order Demon Souls and Demonic Beast Materials weren't of much value. The risk-to-benefit ratio of heading out to sea didn't justify it for them. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage commonly operated in shallow waters.

Hunting in the deep-sea areas was mostly done by Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. For them, a teleportation fee of 8,000 Spirit Stones was still within an acceptable range.

The Insect External Incarnation had hunted a number of High-Rank Demon Beasts, tasted the sweetness of success, and had no intention of leaving the Tianlan Sea.

"Yunji Island."

He took out 1,500 Spirit Stones and handed them over, receiving a Teleportation Talisman in exchange.

"Wait for a full group! Every transmission requires at least three people. If you want to be teleported alone, you can pay 4,500 Spirit Stones."

Is this like carpooling?

"Fellow Daoist, you're also heading to Yunji Island. Let's go together."

Before long, another cultivator intending to travel to Yunji Island joined them.

"Sigh, Green Condensation Island should have many Magical Beasts, but I've had such bad luck recently. Why haven't I encountered a single Third-order Monster Beast in three months?"

Spending Spirit Stones and several months for nothing, it was frustrating.

He could only leave Green Condensation Island and search for Magical Beasts in other areas.

The man didn't realize that he was complaining to the very person responsible for his woes.

Little could he have imagined... his 'bad luck' was set to continue.

The Transmission Light flared, and the Teleportation Talisman bloomed with white light, enveloping them protectively.

After some time, the white light dissipated, and there was no discomfort from the long-distance teleportation.

The Insect External Incarnation looked up to see an island larger than Green Condensation Island.

The name Yunji Island came from Master Yunji. It was an island built by a Divine Transformation Cultivator and named after him.

As Magical Beasts on Green Condensation Island were scarce, many cultivators had come to Yunji Island. The number of cultivators on the island had increased, making it more lively than before.

The Insect External Incarnation left the Teleportation Array and rented a Cave on Yunji Island to reside in.

As soon as he settled down, he entered the Mountain and Sea Pearl.

A massive pile of Magical Beast corpses formed a mountain of flesh, a sight that would dumbfound any cultivator who beheld it.

For the Sea Demon corpses, only their Demon Souls and Demon Cores were harvested, while the other Demonic Beast Materials required meticulous processing, which took up quite a bit of time.

"WHINE!"

A giant fish leaped out from the distant River, its huge body wriggling on the ground as it approached the Insect External Incarnation.

The Fathead Fish, in its eagerness for food, really went to great lengths.

It had grown several sizes chubbier; its recent diet had been too good, leaving its belly round and distended.

Most of the melted Ancestral Fish Sage Pill Elixir had ended up in this creature's stomach.

"No more rations!"

"Only Monster Beast Meat!"

Seeing the Monster Beast Meat tossed over by the Insect External Incarnation, the Fathead Fish flipped its tail and leaped back into the waters of the River.

Sigh, I can only refine one Insect External Incarnation, and it's not enough... Tending to the Medicinal Garden, cutting up Monster Beast Meat, hunting Magical Beasts... and there are many other miscellaneous things to do.

Dependence on the Insect External Incarnation alone was not enough. It was stretched too thin.

The original body and the Insect External Incarnation took the same Elixirs for cultivation, yet the cultivation speed of the Insect External Incarnation somehow outpaced that of the original body.

The disparity between their Cultivation Levels had been slowly widening, growing ever larger.

The solution was to reduce the time the Insect External Incarnation spent on miscellaneous matters and focus on traveling outside and cultivating.

After busying itself for seven days, the Insect External Incarnation separated bones and scales from the Demonic Beast Materials, dividing flesh from blood.

The different Demonic Beast Materials were sorted by type, making them easier to sell.

Now I can go out to hunt Sea Demons!

The quantity of Sea Demons in the Tianlan Sea was limited. Every additional catch by others meant one less for himself.

One has to hunt Sea Demons early, as their numbers will only dwindle with time.

The Insect External Incarnation rode its Magic Artifact, leaving Yunji Island, and searched for suitable locations to hunt.

The Sea Demon resources on Yunji Island were richer than those of Green Condensation Island. Coupled with the cultivators from Green Condensation Island coming over to Yunji Island to make a living, the number of cultivators far surpassed expectations.

It took three days to find a deserted sea area to set up a Formation.

Two Fourth Order Demon Beasts and five Third-order Monster Beasts fell under his Sword, and before he could conclude his work, baby-like cries arose.

"WAAH! WAAH!"

A Third-order Monster Beast caught the attention of the Insect External Incarnation.

This Sea Demon had a large head resembling an infant's, with a green fishtail and scales below.

Can it be... an Infant Carp? The Insect External Incarnation's face showed surprise mixed with joy as it promptly controlled the Trapping Gold Hoop to bind the Infant Carp.

The Infant Carp was an extremely rare Sea Demon, scarce and precious, and was the main ingredient for refining the Infant Breath Pill.

The Infant Breath Pill, once ingested, would improve the chances and quality of one's offspring acquiring a Spiritual Root.

This was one of the few Third-order Monster Beasts that could catch the interest of a Void Refinement Cultivator, and it was among the primary beasts sought by major shops.

What a pity, the Infant Carp is not easy to tame!

He attempted to use a speech technique to communicate with the Infant Carp, but unfortunately, its consciousness was extremely violent.

Such a rare Sea Demon, once missed, would be hard to encounter again, so he decided to try and tame it.

It was bound by the Trapping Gold Hoop and casually thrown into the River within the Mountain and Sea Pearl.

He would take time later to prepare it slowly.

Not a bad harvest!

The Insect External Incarnation continually switched locations, each time yielding substantial gains.

The good fortune lasted for less than a month before a powerful presence descended, attracting a Fifth Order Sea Demon.

The Insect External Incarnation quickly collected the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill that was cooking in the pot into the Mountain and Sea Pearl and took to the skies on the Silverflash Wings.

I don't want to waste the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill on a Sea Demon; it shouldn't be squandered unless absolutely necessary.

The Silver Cod Sea Demon, drawn by the scent of the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill, refused to give up and let out a sudden roar.

The nature's spiritual energy converged at an astonishing speed as if it was using a terrifying Innate Divine Ability.

With the power of a Fifth-Order Magical Beast, the Insect External Incarnation could not deceive it even with the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique.

"This is too much!"

A Lost Path Guai Talisman Pill was thrown, and the Insect External Incarnation quickly made its escape.

The Divinity Transformation Stage Sea Demon did not give chase, seemingly misled by the Bewildering Charm, making it easy to shake it off.

Bizarre Talismans sure are useful!

Although this Sea Demon was strong, it lacked the capability to handle Bizarre Demons. Even a weak Misleading Bizarre was able to exhibit might comparable to a God Transformation Level treasure.

Finally, I got rid of that bothersome creature!

The Insect External Incarnation thought sourly of its ill fortune. Although it had suffered no loss and the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill was not wasted, the Sea Demons that had accompanied the Fifth Order Sea Demon were now gone.

Having just been frightened by a Fifth-Order Magical Beast, he felt a sense of exhaustion both in body and spirit.

If I can't confront it, can I not just hide from it?

A Fifth-Order Magical Beast represented danger, a problem beyond his capability to solve.

The Insect External Incarnation, preferring not to encounter the Silver Cod Sea Demon again, considered moving to Qingsang Island after returning to Yunji Island.

The distance was far enough to ensure safety.

The next time I go Sea Demon hunting, I'll set up a Teleportation Array for escaping. I'll instantly activate it to flee if I encounter a Fifth-Order Magical Beast.

The Insect External Incarnation cleansed itself of its scent to avoid being tracked by the Silver Cod Sea Demon.

The journey back to Yunji Island was smooth. Back in the rented Cave, he handled the new batch of Demonic Beast Materials and attempted to tame the Infant Carp.

He tempted it with the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill, but the Infant Carp showed no interest in forming a contract.

It would be a waste to kill it directly!

What could be the result of Revert Ancestry?

An Ancestral Fish Sage Pill was dropped and quickly swallowed by the Infant Carp.

What kind of Magical Beast could the Infant Carp revert to?

If the Revert Ancestry effect is good, and it's refined into an Elixir, one person could create a cultivation family teeming with geniuses!
