Chapter 674: Chapter 668 Seven Orifices Divine Stone, Giving Birth to Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure_1

Fruit growing on a fish head? What *was* this?!

Jia Ren had thought the Treasure-seeking Mouse found a treasure, but instead, he saw this strange spectacle. He couldn’t help but think of the Medicine Men in Lingyuan City. The only difference was that one was human and the other a demon, yet both grew Spiritual Medicine from their bodies. The former were oppressed, forced into these choices merely to survive. The latter, however...

Jia Ren observed the Green-head Fish closely and was startled to find that the red fruit was naturally formed, without any trace of artificial cultivation. The smaller Green-head Fish had greenish fruit, while the larger, older ones bore bigger, more vibrant red fruit that emitted an enticing fragrance.

A naturally medicinal fish?! Quite interesting!

"Is this the new treasure you found?"

The Treasure-seeking Mouse kept SQUEAKING non-stop, as if to assert that this item was of extraordinary value, definitely a top-notch treasure.

What use did this thing have? If even the Treasure-seeking Mouse considered it a treasure, it must be remarkable. He decided to take it back for careful study. He had Ancestral Return Elixirs; what effects would they have after these fish underwent atavistic reversion?

Just as Jia Ren was about to collect a few Green-head Fish, he sensed something and looked north. A gigantic cloud beast, exuding the aura of a Seventh-order Demon Beast and seemingly formed of cloud essence, attacked. Cloud beasts were Magical Beasts unique to the Cloud Realm, naturally formed from cloud essence and possessing considerable intelligence. The vast cloud morphed into a huge beast’s maw, roaring as it approached.

Was it trying to steal his food?

A black and red sword pierced through the cloud, targeting the distant beast’s head; a flash of blood vanished as quickly as it appeared. Realizing the fearsomeness of the Birthless Killing Sword, the cloud beast dispersed into ordinary clouds, evading the strike. The sharp sword qi shredded the mist, but a vibrant life force hidden within the dissipating fog could not be extinguished by the sword qi.

A surge of malignant killing aura erupted, and the white fog was stained blackish-red. When the fog within a ten-thousand-zhang radius turned completely blackish-red, the cloud beast’s aura vanished. The Birthless Killing Sword, having absorbed some of the Annihilation Sword’s intent and power, remained a Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure but now bore a resemblance to the Annihilation Sword’s formidable grace. Slaying a Seventh-order Demon Beast with a single stroke was an exceedingly trivial matter for it.

A pure white Yun Dan fell into Jia Ren’s palm, radiating a strange Spiritual Energy. Unlike the Demon Cores of normal Magical Beasts, the cloud beast’s Demon Core wasn’t impure; it was more suitable for Cultivators to convert into Spiritual Power. Jia Ren stored it away, intending to refine it into an Elixir later.

The battle between Jia Ren and the cloud beast startled the Green-head Fish, which dove to the seabed to escape the sudden predator.

"I’ll take you to your new home!"

Jia Ren’s palm darkened as he established a connection with the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl. A powerful suction erupted from his palm, drawing the green fish towards it one by one. The Green-head Fish entered the Spirit Sea formed by Spiritual Energy. For the first time in their lives, they witnessed an area with such dense Spiritual Energy. Their fear of abduction vanished, replaced by joyful swimming in the sea of Spiritual Energy.

The Xuan Beast Avatar found the Red Fruit Green Fish and fed them Ancestral Return Elixirs.

What unique abilities would these exotic Green Fish possess after undergoing atavistic reversion? He would know the answer soon enough. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Jia Ren didn’t linger, setting off with the Treasure-seeking Mouse. Cultivation resources for the Body Integration Realm and the Mahayana Realm were rare in any world. He traveled 30,000 li across the vast sea to reach the Cloud Sea Sect’s territory, yet he didn’t spot a single top-grade material.

He wasn’t sure if his luck was just terrible, or if all the treasures had already been snatched up by Cloud Sea Sect Cultivators or High-Rank Magical Beasts.

Jia Ren arrived at the Yunhai Archipelago, the Cloud Sea Sect’s base. Many Cultivators and mortals lived on the Yunhai Archipelago, most belonging to forces affiliated with the Cloud Sea Sect. The Cloud Realm was different from other Cultivation Worlds; without the protection of powerful experts or factions, mortals and Cultivators were merely food for Magical Beasts or spare provisions and couldn’t survive for long. Countless similar instances had occurred in the Cloud Realm over the ages.

Without powerful protectors... they would have been devoured by Magical Beasts long ago.

As the Cloud Sea Sect’s headquarters, the Yunhai Archipelago attracted a large number of Cultivators. Jia Ren passed through layers of misty curtains and reached the outermost island. A few fishing boats were scattered around the island’s periphery. The fishermen looked at Jia Ren, clad in a Taoist Robe as he came ashore, their faces filled with envy and awe. Many unknown tuberous plants grew on the small island, likely the mortals’ staple food source, sustaining them and ensuring the continuation of their lineage.

Jia Ren continued forward until he reached a market. In the Cloud Realm, visibility was limited due to interference from cloud qi. The market wasn’t marked by a signboard but by a stone stele, upon which the four large characters "Jihai Market" were inscribed with powerful, flowing calligraphy.

Jia Ren stopped before the stele because, even before they set foot on the island, the Treasure-seeking Mouse had started SQUEAKING insistently. The stone stele was the great treasure the Treasure-seeking Mouse had discovered. He stood there, eyeing the object with deep suspicion.

If the Treasure-seeking Mouse hadn’t specifically alerted him, he wouldn’t have paused at this stele for even a second.

His Divine Sense swept over it but detected nothing extraordinary—it was just an ordinary stone. The Treasure-seeking Mouse’s SQUEAKS were quite agitated, indicating the treasure was immensely valuable, though its purpose was unclear to the mouse. The Treasure-seeking Mouse could only unearth treasures, not discern their uses.

If it weren’t special, it wouldn’t have served as the market’s stele for so long, enduring the elements, only to remain unnoticed until now.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse had never been wrong, and Jia Ren trusted it considerably. He activated his Mirror Flower Divine Moon technique to prevent his actions from attracting trouble. He exerted force with his palm, easily shattering the stone stele.

As fragments flew, a rugged stone was revealed. The outer layers of rock were all destroyed by Jia Ren’s palm, yet this object remained intact.

His current physique was comparable to a top-tier Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure; even a casual palm strike from him contained terrifying power. That palm strike, delivered without his full strength, was still far more than any ordinary stone could withstand. The object’s special qualities were deeply concealed; if he hadn’t broken the outer stone, no one would have noticed anything amiss.

The rugged stone had seven natural orifices and was absorbing Spiritual Energy at an incredibly slow rate.

A naturally formed stone with seven orifices?

Unique objects born of heaven and earth would transform into Innate Spirit Treasures over a certain period. Only the most powerful among Innate Spirit Treasures were considered Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.

This rugged stone was truly extraordinary, very likely a piece of Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Material. This was a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure still in its gestation period!

Jia Ren collected the Seven Orifices Divine Stone and sent it into the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl. The Seven Orifices Divine Stone submerged into the Spirit Sea; this was where it truly belonged. The seven orifices seemed to come alive, ceaselessly absorbing the Spiritual Liquid that poured into them, and its internal power grew stronger. A smile appeared on Jia Ren’s face as he witnessed this. The Treasure-seeking Mouse had indeed performed a great service by discovering such a significant treasure.

"Reshape!"

Under Jia Ren’s control, nature’s spiritual energy converged on the shattered stone stele. Countless fragments flew together under the manipulation of Spiritual Power, and in the blink of an eye, the stele was restored to its original appearance, looking no different than before. The only change was the absence of the hidden Seven Orifices Divine Stone, a detail no one had noticed from beginning to end.

Once everything was done, Jia Ren calmly bypassed the Jihai Market and headed towards the Cloud Sea Sect. He proceeded unimpeded until he neared the Cloud Sea Sect, where he finally encountered an obstacle.

"Fellow Daoist, outsiders are not permitted on Yunhai Island."

Yunhai Island, the location of the Cloud Sea Sect, was the largest island in the Yunhai Archipelago. The entire island was enveloped by the Sect Protection Array, with only a single exit. Jia Ren was naturally stopped.

"I wish to see your Grand Elder to discuss an important matter." He made no effort to conceal his aura, unleashing the powerful presence of an Integrating Body Late Stage Cultivator.

One’s Cultivation Level was indeed the best Pass Token, saving a great deal of trouble.

The frightening aura of a Nascent Soul period cultivator deeply shocked the Guards, who hurriedly reported it up the chain of command.

"He wants to see the Grand Elder?"

"The visitor is an Integrating Body Late Stage Cultivator? When did such a powerful Cultivator emerge in the Cloud Realm?"

The Cloud Sea Sect was the sole premier sect in the Cloud Realm; other sects and families reached the Lianxu Stage at best. The sudden appearance of an Integrating Body Late Stage Cultivator was highly suspicious.

"I will go ascertain the visitor’s background." The Yunhai Sect Master decided not to inform the Grand Elder immediately; not just anyone could disturb the Grand Elder.

"Who might you be, sir, and where is your place of cultivation?" A white-robed elder used Instantaneous Movement to appear before Jia Ren, his gaze scrutinizing him from head to toe. The man’s aura was unfamiliar, and his Spiritual Power Fluctuations were vastly different from those of the Mysterious Realm. The elder’s eyes glowed with a white light as he carefully examined the newcomer. Jia Ren seemed to be veiled in a thin, dream-like gauze that even the Illusion-breaking Cloud Eye could not penetrate.

"Fellow Daoist, who are you? And can you represent the Cloud Sea Sect?"

He didn’t necessarily need to speak only with the Grand Elder of Cloud Sea Sect; as long as the person he spoke to had decision-making authority, it would suffice.

"I am the Yunhai Sect Master!"

"And who might you be, sir? From which Sect do you hail?" Unable to discern Jia Ren’s alignment, the Yunhai Sect Master asked directly.

"An outsider from beyond this domain." Jia Ren didn’t waste time, getting straight to the point.

An outsider from beyond this domain?!

These words deeply startled the Yunhai Sect Master. He recalled the great battle the Grand Elder had mentioned not long ago, and his expression changed slightly. The Kunpeng Wings had been slashed only recently; it was hard not to suspect that this person was connected to the formidable individual who had done it. His face hardened, and his voice grew colder. "Please forgive Cloud Sea Sect’s inadequate hospitality. Fellow Daoist, it would be best if you left immediately."

At any other time, Cloud Sea Sect would have been eager to communicate with an outsider, to obtain information about other Cultivation Worlds and exchange resources. But... Cloud Sea Sect existed in the Yunhai Realm and had to live by the Kunpeng’s whims. If the Kunpeng mistakenly believed Cloud Sea Sect was an accomplice, it would undoubtedly bring devastating ruin upon them. This was a risk they were absolutely unwilling to take.

Jia Ren understood the Yunhai Sect Master’s attitude. To be dismissed so directly without even an inquiry into his purpose was quite vexing. His expression remained unreadable, and his voice was calm as he said, "Since you cannot make the decision, have your ancestor come out and speak!"

As soon as his words fell, an immense surge of Spiritual Power swept over. It was Yun Mo, the pillar of Cloud Sea Sect, a Mahayana Stage Cultivator. Yun Mo’s face was inscrutable as he cupped his hands. "Fellow Daoist, your visit brings honor to Cloud Sea Sect. May I inquire as to the purpose of your journey?"

This was... the very outsider who had severed one of the Kunpeng’s wings and possessed the Divine Skill to transform into a Golden-Winged Peng Bird! Cloud Sea Sect absolutely could not afford to provoke him. He feared that if they angered this visitor, Cloud Sea Sect would become history today.

’Your Excellency’?!

Hearing Yun Mo, the Grand Elder, use such a term for Jia Ren, the Yunhai Sect Master seriously doubted his own ears.

A Mahayana Realm Cultivator addressing a Nascent Soul period cultivator with ’Your Excellency’?! He felt that something was terribly wrong.
