Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 646 - 640 Unable to Seal, Ancient Secrets_2

Chapter 646: Chapter 640 Unable to Seal, Ancient Secrets_2

The Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda was unable to restrain it, which was enough to show how terrifying this move was.

However, as the spear’s speed slowed, there was a chance to rewrite fate.

Phoenix Flame, interwoven with Southern Ming Separation Fire, transformed into gray flames through the Mixed Spirit Gourd. These flames dissolved their own limitations before landing on the black spear.

The black spear ignited upon contact with the flames, shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.

As it approached Jia Ren, it only managed to break through several layers of Suppressing Demon Divine Light defenses before it completely dissipated.

"Seal!"

Dozens of Suppressing Demon God Chains bearing Five-Colored Phoenix Flames shot out, falling upon the Thought Bizarre Parasite that was under scrutiny.

’Immortal Dao Ancestor’ was forcefully dragged into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

Was it resolved?

"Without eliminating all the Cultivators who are aware of the Thought Bizarre, it cannot be sealed!" Tian Lingzi exclaimed, his face deathly pale as he urgently reminded Jia Ren.

As if in response to his words, the Thought Bizarre that was pulled into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower burned into ashes along with the flames.

Unlike other Bizarre Demons, which would resurrect from their ashes, it completely vanished from existence.

If it could be easily resolved, how could the Thought Bizarre become the most troublesome of Bizarre Demons?

Why would the Taiqing Sect offer such a huge reward?

The next moment, a tremendous force of the Thought Bizarre emerged from a distant Cultivator. It had transferred to this person.

As long as someone retained the memory of the Thought Bizarre, its strength would grow, and even if ’sealed,’ it would revive in that memory.

One million Cultivators were the source of power for the Thought Bizarre; without resolving them, the fight would never end.

Kill everyone?!

This thought emerged in Jia Ren’s mind.

If people died, their memory of the Thought Bizarre would also dissipate, completely resolving any lingering concerns.

This was the fastest and most straightforward solution.

However, doing so... there’s no guarantee that the Thought Bizarre doesn’t have a contingency plan.

They had previously sacrificed one hundred thousand Cultivators to create a powerful Resent Bizarre, and who knew what unknown cards they still held.

Inducing others to step into a trap was the most unsolvable tactic.

No one would expect that what they thought was the correct solution would actually lead them into a profound abyss.

Jia Ren had used this tactic against the Golden-Winged Peng Bird, and he must not fall into the same trap himself.

"Tongming Treasury Mirror!"

An inscription plate of the Tongming Treasury Mirror appeared, drawing Spiritual Energy from the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl at an astonishing speed and rapidly taking form.

The Tongming Treasury Mirror emitted a vast white light, which fell upon the heads of numerous Cultivators, erasing their memories related to the Thought Bizarre and its Bizarre Persona, Immortal Dao Ancestor.

The Tongming Treasury Mirror was an item that involved memory. It could not only pass down memories for Sects and Cultivators but also... erase memories.

Since one million Cultivators all knew of the Thought Bizarre and its Bizarre Persona, this issue had to be resolved to avoid endless future trouble.

This was the optimal solution to eradicate the hassle and avoid stepping into a second trap.

Wherever the Tongming Treasury Mirror went, the corresponding memories of the Thought Bizarre among the Cultivators vanished.

Several Tongming Treasury Mirrors slowly arrived above the Lingbao Sect, continuously falling upon the heads of one million defenseless Cultivators.

The memory-erasing actions of the Tongming Treasury Mirror targeted not only the one million Cultivators. Lingbao Sect’s internal members also began to self-examine.

The most substantial defense was often breached from within. The Lingbao Sect would not give the Thought Bizarre this opportunity, treating everyone equally.

Indeed, as they had speculated, many within the Lingbao Sect, and even among those who had joined from Medicine King Peak, retained memories of the Thought Bizarre and Immortal Dao Ancestor.

This was a hidden danger that had always lurked in the dark, waiting for its moment to emerge.

When the stagnation effect of the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda ended, all the Cultivators had already had their memories of the Thought Bizarre’s Bizarre Persona erased.

"We will meet again!"

The Thought Bizarre was once again dragged into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower by Jia Ren. After being burned to ashes, it made no more moves.

Thus, the hidden danger of the Bizarre Demons within the Breath of Stars Barrier was completely resolved.

"How much does our sect know about the Thought Bizarre?" Jia Ren asked.

Jia Ren’s knowledge of the Thought Bizarre was limited. He only knew that it was a type of Bizarre Demon that became stronger the more it was known.

"The Thought Bizarre, Speech Bizarre, and Divine Bizarre are known as the three Unknowable Bizarre Demons, and they are also the most terrifying ones," Tian Lingzi explained.

"They all share one characteristic: as long as someone remembers them, they cannot be sealed."

"In order to seal the three Bizarre Demons, those who knew of them either had their memories erased or were utterly eradicated. Not one in ten thousand Xuan Realm Cultivators survived, marking it as the darkest era."

"Only when those in the know were completely gone was there a chance to seal them by dividing and suppressing them."

"To my knowledge, after the division of the three Unknowable Bizarre Demons, parts of them were sent to other Cultivation Worlds to be exchanged and sealed with the Bizarre Demons of those worlds."

As Tian Lingzi finished speaking, his words transformed into a mental transmission that entered Jia Ren’s ears.

Sent to other Cultivation Worlds for an exchange sealing?

Is this to prevent them from unifying?

Does that mean the Thought Bizarre before me is not in its complete form?!

"Sect Master, what is this ’Bizarre Demon exchange’ all about?"

This seemed to touch upon information that had been hidden for a long time.

Probably, not many in the entire Mysterious Realm were aware of it.

The heritages of other top sects were not as ancient as that of the Lingbao Sect, and many Mahayana Stage Cultivators from those top sects were unaware of this matter.

"You don’t think that the Mysterious Realm only had these Complete Cryptids, do you?! What you have seen is less than one-tenth of their numbers in their heyday."

"To prevent the Bizarre Demons from reverting to their complete forms, the surviving Mahayana Stage Cultivators of the Mysterious Realm took parts of the sealed remnants of these Bizarre Demons into other Cultivation Worlds."

"Mahayana Stage Cultivators from other Cultivation Worlds came to the Mysterious Realm to exchange and seal different Bizarre Demons."

"In this way, even if a Bizarre Demon broke through its seal, it would be difficult for it to return to its complete form."

"However, the plan did not fully succeed. Some Mahayana Stage Cultivators never returned to the Mysterious Realm after their departure, and the exchange sealing was left unfinished."

"The Mysterious Realm proclaimed to the outside world the dangers of entering the Void. This was because they didn’t want anyone to venture into the Void, lest they bring back a Bizarre Body, as the actual number of Complete Cryptids far exceeds what is known."

"The Closed Realm Locking Domain policy—not venturing into the Void for exploration and maintaining self-imposed isolation—was safer for the Mysterious Realm, reducing the likelihood of errors."

Jia Ren had not expected there to be such secrets in the Mysterious Realm. Had it not been for Tian Lingzi’s disclosure, he might never have known.

Faced with the current Bizarre Demons, he felt a helplessness that was hard to combat. It was difficult to even imagine the dangers the Xuan Realm Cultivators had faced in ancient times.

Back then, there were a great number of Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, unlike now, when such treasures had been successively taken away by previous generations. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Apart from the Lingbao Sect, where Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures still remained, other sects had none to be found.

Jia Ren briefly processed this information without dwelling on it.

After all, he still had to deal with eighteen Complete Form Bizarre Persons.

The eighteen Complete Form Bizarre Persons stopped their attack on the Extraterrestrial Breath Barrier and began to retreat.

They’re leaving?!

Has the news of the Thought Bizarre’s failed ambush already spread?

Seeing that their efforts were futile, they’re withdrawing?

This outcome was not surprising.

The plan had utterly failed. So far, the Extraterrestrial Breath Barrier had not been breached, and the difficulty of breaking through the Formation would only increase.

Leave behind a portion of Complete Form Bizarre Persons to cause a disturbance?

Continuously assault the Breath of Stars Barrier to distract the Lingbao Sect and Jia Ren’s attention?

If too few Complete Form Bizarre Persons were left behind, they would just be easy pickings: leave one, and one would be sealed; leave two, and a pair would be sealed.

It would be better to gather more strength and wait until they were stronger before striking at the Lingbao Sect in one fell swoop.

A calamity that threatened the Lingbao Sect had arrived quickly and dissipated even faster.
