Chapter 624: Chapter 395: Transcendent Golden Seal, Demon Origin Mountain, Great Opportunity! (Part 2)
"Master, Master, I’m here!"
As Gu Yuan pondered, a shadowy bat figure wobbled towards him. Its blood-red eyes contained verdant shadows of insects, appearing extremely eerie.
"So, what is the origin of this bat figure? Is this Cave Mansion truly left by a Mahayana Cultivator?"
Gu Yuan unceremoniously asked, bombarding with questions.
"Jie jie jie, this bat shadow speaks half-truths, deceiving people."
"This Cave Mansion is indeed related to the Mahayana Cultivator, but it is not the Cultivator’s own Cave Mansion; rather, it’s an auxiliary Cave Heaven for his disciple’s cultivation."
"However, this bat figure is indeed the Earth Spirit of this Cave Mansion, but its true form is a captured Tier Four Exotic Demon Beast, a Reincarnation Blood Bat."
"This bat is truly a Heaven-Earth Exotic Species. Though its rank is not high, it possesses an incredibly remarkable ability."
"Reincarnation Indestructible!"
The Heart-devouring Insect controlled the bat figure, cackling as it spoke, almost brimming with joy.
"Reincarnation Indestructible?!"
Gu Yuan was puzzled.
"Once this bat’s lifespan ends, its physical body perishes, but its Divine Soul remains undestroyed, dispersing into a wisp of soul smoke. If undisturbed by external forces, this soul smoke will revive in three hundred years, reforming into another Reincarnation Blood Bat."
"Each Blood Bat retains some memories, yet it is a completely new being, with different character and habits."
"Due to this trait, it was captured by the Cave Mansion’s Master, refined into the Earth Spirit to guard the Cave Mansion, hoping to comprehend the Reincarnation Technique from this Blood Bat."
"However, before understanding the Reincarnation Technique, a devastating battle erupted in this Pocket World, reducing it to three segments."
"This Blood Bat, bound by the Cave Mansion’s Restrictions, cannot leave, forced to reincarnate repeatedly, dying within the Cave Mansion, its grievances are endless."
"To leave this place, either someone completely breaks the Cave Mansion Restriction, or it seizes and possesses another body, evading the bonds of the Earth Spirit."
"This place is a fragment of the Northern Domain, one of the ancient battlefields, inaccessible for millennia."
"Now, by a stroke of fortune, it encountered you, Master. Naturally, the bat couldn’t resist the temptation, but never expected, Master’s power is beyond its comprehension, leading to its demise, benefiting me, the little insect!"
"Jie jie jie!"
The Heart-devouring Insect laughed triumphantly.
Firstly, this Blood Bat is a natural Exotic Species, inheriting it means great potential.
Secondly, the Blood Bat’s Divine Soul Power is robust. After devouring it, my power will surely advance substantially, perhaps even becoming a Tier Four Demon King, a true blessing.
"So, it has such history."
Gu Yuan marveled deeply, but immediately asked again, "Is this place truly a fragment of the Northern Domain? How do I leave here?"
Through diligent cultivation, Gu Yuan has read numerous classics, acquiring a slight understanding of the Northern Domain.
The Northern Domain, also known as the North Sea Realm.
Long ago, it was one of the Four Domains, filled with countless Spirit Meridians and Spirit Monsters, flourishing to the utmost.
However, the "Battle for Immortality" shattered an entire Great Domain, its lands wrecked, Spirit Meridians severed, reduced to countless fragments adrift in the Void.
These fragments are known as "ancient battlefields."
Ranging in size, these ancient battlefields floated amidst Void turbulence, filled with both opportunities and dangers, elusive to common seekers.
Many have attempted to explore the ancient battlefields of the North Sea Realm, seeking treasures, only to perish.
Over time, no one dared to try lightly, the domain’s name gradually faded away.
"This place is indeed one of the Northern Domain’s fragments, founded by Master Vast Void in the Northern Domain, leaving behind a legacy."
"As for leaving, there is one method."
"Master, please watch!"
The Heart-devouring Insect, while explaining, gathered Demonic Power, chanting with focus, casting a Technique towards the pavilion behind.
"Swish!"
Instantly, at the broken section of the Jade Tier behind the pavilion, a scene emerged.
Misty mountains, heavy snowfalls, countless Demon Beasts roaring skyward, occasionally revealing Escape Lights fighting fiercely.
Among them, Gu Yuan even spotted familiar faces.
Qinn Yun.
Master Ziyun.
And the Cyan Flood Dragon.
"Master’s luck is truly great!"
"This Pocket World was split into three parts: [Treasure Pavilion], [Demon Origin Mountain], and [Forbidden Heaven Tower]. The Treasure Pavilion is our current location; no Demon Beasts, only the pavilion corridors, some treasures, and this unconscious Blood Bat."
"The Demon Origin Mountain is where the Pocket World’s Master used to rear Demon Beasts and cultivate a Medicinal Garden. Treasures abound there, yet fierce Demon Beasts reside, exceedingly perilous."
"As for the Forbidden Heaven Tower, it’s filled with Void Celestial Gang Wind. Not to mention Golden Core Cultivators, even Daoist Embryo Cultivators would perish instantly."
"Previously, the Seven Profound Treasure Tower was shattered, compounded with interference from Nine Marshes Evil Creatures, the Void turbulence surged, transferring all life forms within the tower, scattering them randomly to one of these three areas."
"Some fell into the Forbidden Heaven Tower, dying in their slumber; some into the Demon Origin Mountain, engaging in desperate battles with Demon Beasts in wounded states."
"Only you, Master, and some Great Demons, luckily landed in the Treasure Pavilion. But those ordinary Great Demons, how can they match Master? They’re probably still unconscious."
"Hehe, the place and timing have coincided, the treasures in this corridor should all belong to Master!"
The Heart-devouring Insect kept explaining while inconspicuously flattering Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan was momentarily stunned.
No wonder he hadn’t seen others he knew. They had been randomly dropped into one of the three Pocket Worlds.
This opportunity he had long coveted in the Demon Palace, yet never claimed; upon entering the Northern Domain, he gained it within half a day, without dangers. Looking back, it indeed seems like a stroke of luck.
"How should I leave this place, then?"
Gu Yuan asked again.
"Hehe, Master, don’t be anxious. Just look at this Jade Register!"
The Heart-devouring Insect chuckled, using Demonic Power to manifest an illusory Jade Register, placing it before Gu Yuan.
"Tier Three Strange Fruit, Flying Immortal Jade Fruit, consumed to enhance a Golden Core Cultivator’s Mana by three hundred years."
"Tier Three Strange Grass, Golden Bridge Grass, consuming it boosts cultivation speed tenfold for a year."
"Tier Three Marvel Stone, Three-Aperture Iron Heart Stone, can replace a cultivator’s heart, withstand one fatal injury."
"..."
The Jade Register was filled densely with wondrous treasures.
These were genuine Exotic Fruits, far surpassing ordinary Tier Three treasures, rarely found in the outside world.
Gu Yuan’s gaze moved directly to the end.
"Heaven-Earth Marvel Stone, Celestial Ruler Jade!"
Gu Yuan’s gaze sharpened.
"Hehe, Master, this is the Cave-Heaven Mansion where the Mahayana Cultivator’s disciples used to cultivate. Treasures are everywhere in the Demon Origin Mountain, vastly superior to the outside world, countless times beyond the Seven Profound Tower Realm."
"So-called anchoring is merely secretly stealing treasures across Restrictions. How can it compare to entering and seizing treasures directly?"
"This reversal of Void turbulence is a grand opportunity not to be missed!"
"And to leave this place, the only option is the ’Void Tower’ in the Demon Origin Mountain. It was constructed by their disciples of the Vast Void Sect for a quick return to the Great Domain after treasure hunting. With some repair, it should still be usable."
The Heart-devouring Insect’s voice was eager, eyes coveting.
This was a true "Upper-class Blessed Land", far superior to ordinary "Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Gardens."
Gu Yuan was momentarily tempted.
This was a true Treasure Mountain.
"Are there Tier Four Demon Kings in the Demon Origin Mountain? Or stronger Great Demons?"
"How can you and I enter this place?"
Gu Yuan pondered again, then asked.
"Forget it, just share the memories of this bat with me; I’ll see for myself."
"Yes, Master!"
The Heart-devouring Insect, upon hearing this, concentrated Demonic Power, and after a while, a green light orb flew out from its forehead.
This was a copy of the bat’s memories, engraved for Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan took the light orb, placing it between his own brows, and immediately, a torrent of information surged, yet he caught it forcibly with his immense Soul Thought.
"Dao Origin Golden Bridge?"
"Void Stream Wind?"
"Is it truly an opportunity?"
"Seems today my luck is indeed good."
After a long while, having perused the memories within the light orb, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
