Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 683 - 677 Kunpeng Form, True Spirit_1

Emperor Gan sensed he was being spied upon. This was when his vigilance was at its peak, making any attempt to strike him exceedingly difficult.

There was a chance of falling headfirst into a trap, even risking utter failure.

There’s no hurry with this matter; I still need to gather more information. It wouldn’t be too late to make a move after reaching Body Integration Realm Perfection.

Jia Ren was in no rush. The Mysterious Realm was calm, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

Moreover, to rapidly enhance my cultivation level to reach Body Integration Realm Perfection, I would inevitably have to devour Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.

Such extravagance!

Utterly wasteful!

Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures are too scarce. Had it not been for the Wushan Alliance, Tai Xu Alliance, and Huang Shan Alliance bringing them to me, acquiring even one Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure would not have been easy.

So far, apart from the gifts from the three alliances, I’ve only found one Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure that is still incubating – the Seven Orifices Divine Stone.

Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I am reluctant to use the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art to devour Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures for cultivation.

Jia Ren then devoted his time and energy to refining elixirs.

The Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pill greatly benefited the growth of Divine Beasts. He had previously obtained such elixirs from Medicine King Peak to supply Divine Beasts like the Phoenix and Vermilion Bird.

With his Proficiency Panel and exceptional skills, the Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pills Jia Ren refined were bound to be of superior quality.

Previously, he had been too preoccupied with Bizarre Demons to do it himself, forcing him to entrust the task to others.

Now, with ample time, he decided to learn, optimize, and improve the alchemy recipe for the Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pill to create even higher quality elixirs to aid the Divine Beasts’ growth.

Once the Phoenix and Vermilion Bird reached adulthood, their flame power would significantly increase. When combined through the Mixed Spirit Gourd, the resulting grey flames would be even more potent.

He had already learned the alchemy recipe when Tian Lingzi transmitted it using the Tongming Treasury Mirror, so refining the Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pill wasn’t difficult.

He compared the ingredients in the alchemy recipe to see if there was room for optimization and improvement.

The alchemy recipes of predecessors aren’t necessarily perfect. Standing on the shoulders of giants to elevate elixirs to new heights is the true path.

After some optimization of the alchemy recipe, he took out the corresponding Spiritual Medicine and threw it into the Heaven-Earth Melting Furnace.

Refining ingredients for one hundred portions at once, he could produce a quantity of elixirs that other Alchemists might take hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve.

「A year later,」 the Heaven-Earth Melting Furnace opened, revealing nearly a thousand pure white elixirs, each crystal clear and full, with exceptionally rich Spiritual Power.

He tossed the Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pills to the Exotic Beasts within the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, then closed his eyes to contemplate the insights gained from the alchemy process.

Jia Ren gained new insights into the Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pill and began to optimize it boldly.

He commenced refining the second furnace of Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pills, still processing ingredients for one hundred portions simultaneously.

「Another year passed,」 and the lid of the Heaven-Earth Melting Furnace flew open, unleashing brilliant gold light from within.

Not a whiff of medicinal fragrance escaped the Heaven-Earth Melting Furnace—a sign that the elixirs were perfectly contained, with no essence leaking out.

Nearly a thousand Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pills emerged, perfectly round and flawless, shimmering like white Luminous Pearls.

Each elixir bore golden Elixir Patterns, with a minimum of nine.

Being able to maintain such quality while producing so many elixirs was already quite an accomplishment.

Even Grandmaster Alchemists would need to perform exceptionally well to craft nine-pattern elixirs. They often had to use the Pill Condensation Technique, absorbing the medicinal power of other potential elixirs and thus reducing their yield, just to achieve such quality.

Refining nearly a thousand nine-pattern Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pills from ingredients for one hundred portions would be considered a miracle by Grandmaster Alchemists, an astonishing, almost divine feat.

Jia Ren, however, was not satisfied.

After all, my Alchemy Skills are not merely at the Grandmaster Level.

This outcome was also due to refining too many elixirs at once. Normally, refining a single furnace of Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pills could yield elixirs with at least four additional Elixir Patterns.

This quality already surpassed that achieved by the Medicine King Peak Master. He tossed all of them to the Divine Beasts as their new staple food.

Jia Ren sat cross-legged, contemplating his knowledge, and began the third refining session.

The Proficiency Panel ensured that once a skill was mastered, it was mastered permanently, only growing stronger with practice.

Each alchemy session yielded significant gains, leading to an astonishing rate of improvement.

The third furnace of elixirs was of even higher quality; the lowest had thirteen Elixir Patterns, and the highest reached Eighteen Dao Pill Patterns.

Elixirs of such quality were rare and exceptional, each one incredibly difficult to obtain.

Yet now, they were tossed like pig feed into the ’feeding troughs’ of the Divine Beasts within the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl—a large and satisfying supply.

After a massive quantity of high-quality Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pills were fed, the growth rate of the Divine Beasts, although...still unable to compare with the enhancement speed of the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, far exceeded that of their peers by more than several times.

Subsequently, his progress in refining Profound Spirit Enlightenment Pills slowed, no longer as strikingly rapid as before.

The minimum Elixir Patterns increased to fifteen, while Eighteen Dao Pill Patterns remained the upper limit.

This seemed to be an insurmountable barrier.

Jia Ren prepared an ample supply of elixirs, enough for the Divine Beasts to consume over a long time.

As for the other Exotic Beasts... they can continue with the version refined by Medicine King Peak!

Once the elixir feeding was done, Jia Ren took out the collected Kunpeng Divine Blood and poured it into the pool.

The Kunpeng was an adult Divine Beast. Its Demonic Blood was potent and pure, qualitatively superior to that of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird.

When this substance was absorbed by his Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body, it would replace the Golden-Winged Peng Bird, becoming his strongest mimicry form.

The ruby-like Divine Blood entered the pool. Its potent, thread-like essence felt like countless steel needles piercing his body, causing excruciating pain.

Each drop of Divine Blood possessed astonishing power, constantly wreaking havoc within his body.

Ordinary Mahayana Realm Cultivators unskilled in Body Refinement would be courting death if they recklessly absorbed even a single drop of Kunpeng Demonic Blood.

Even if they didn’t self-detonate like those who improperly consumed the blood of other Divine Beasts, their bodies would suffer damage, and their vital energy would be severely depleted.

It was unimaginable that a single drop of blood could possess such formidable power.

Jia Ren’s physique far surpassed that of ordinary Cultivators. Having assimilated numerous Demonic and Divine Bloods, few could compare to his physical resilience.

He could withstand the destructive force of the Kunpeng Divine Blood as his Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body slowly assimilated it.

The Kunpeng must have consumed the Red Fruit Green Fish! Otherwise, its blood vitality couldn’t be this terrifying.

Both the Kunpeng and the Golden-Winged Peng Bird were Divine Beasts, yet the quality of their Divine Blood was worlds apart, which naturally made Jia Ren suspect something.

The Red Fruit Green Fish is undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure. If I could research an elixir to enhance its effects, it wouldn’t just elevate my physique to a new level, but perhaps even reach a state comparable to a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

As my own potential strengthens, my ability to regenerate from a single drop of blood will also improve.

After absorbing the Kunpeng’s blood, the next step was self-evident. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

「Three months later,」 Jia Ren finally absorbed all the Kunpeng Divine Blood, refining it into his Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body.

From then on, a new form was added to his Divine Beast transformations.

Kunpeng Form!

Jia Ren flew away from the Lingbao Sect and ventured beyond the Void.

His body began to transform, rapidly inflating as if being pumped full of air, growing to a thousand zhang, then ten thousand zhang!

The Spiritual Energy within Jia Ren’s body depleted at an astonishing rate. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang Kunpeng.

This was merely the transformation into the Kunpeng Form, without even employing the Law of Heaven and Earth to augment it, yet his body was already so massive.

Simply transforming into the ten-thousand-zhang Kunpeng Form had already consumed sixty percent of his Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power.

For ordinary late-stage Body Integration Realm Cultivators, even attempting to cast the Law of Heaven and Earth after such a transformation would be an impossible dream.

This is not my limit!

"Dusk Treasured Light!"

"Dual Law Manifests Heaven and Earth!"

Jia Ren wanted to test the limits of his strongest state, which was why he had left the Lingbao Sect and ventured into the Void to experiment.

The Spirit Sea level within the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl dropped almost imperceptibly as it fully supplied Jia Ren.

The ten-thousand-zhang Kunpeng body was not his limit; it continued to grow rapidly, its wingspan expanding—a hundred li! Three hundred li! Finally, a thousand li!

Jia Ren ultimately transformed into a Kunpeng with a wingspan of a thousand li, no less imposing than the Kunpeng he had once battled.

Nature’s spiritual energy continued to pour into his body ceaselessly, yet his growth halted, as if invisible shackles restrained him, limiting his size.

Is this the so-called upper limit?

Magical Beasts, Divine Beasts, and humans all have their limits.

The lower the potential, the lower the limit; the higher the potential, the higher the limit.

Only by breaking these restrictions and shattering limits can one possess absolute power.

Divine Beasts in their adulthood possess the strength of the Mahayana Realm, or even far beyond it.

Once this limit is broken, a true qualitative transformation occurs.

Jia Ren had once inquired with Jin Sheng and received a clear answer.

A Divine Beast bloodline that breaks its limitations becomes a True Spirit!

Any being that achieves the state of a True Spirit is considered astonishingly brilliant even among Divine Beasts, destined for immeasurable future accomplishments.

I didn’t expect that even mimicking a Divine Beast would lead to encountering such a limit.

Jia Ren had assumed this phenomenon only occurred in actual Divine Beasts, but unexpectedly, his Mimicry Divine Beast form also encountered it.

This can only mean that the power of mimicry has been pushed to its absolute extreme!

I wonder if, upon reaching the Mahayana Realm, using the Eight Paths of Doomsday Treasure Glow and Dual Law Manifests Heaven and Earth, I can break through this so-called bloodline limitation?!

For a genuine Kunpeng, reaching this level of strength would mean no further advancement is possible.

But for me, Jia Ren, this is not the limit!

My cultivation level can still ascend to the Mahayana Realm!

The Dusk Treasured Light can still be augmented twice more, reaching the Eight Paths of Doomsday Treasure Glow.

Dual Law Manifests Heaven and Earth isn’t the peak; once I attain the Thirteen Derivation Hearts, even invoking the Three Laws of Heavenly Phenomena and Earth won’t be an issue!

In my strongest state, perhaps I can shatter this bloodline limit, pushing my body beyond a thousand li, and catch up to those old monsters hidden in the Cloud Realm.

Whether I can succeed or not, I’ll only know after trying.

The Kunpeng is slightly inferior to the Golden-Winged Peng Bird in speed, but its strength should be far greater. The killing power unleashed by Heaven and Earth One Slash will surely be several times stronger.

The Kunpeng possesses two forms: Kun and Peng. Jia Ren was currently in the Peng form, which commanded speed and strength, making it a pinnacle predator.

The next moment, the massive Peng vanished, transforming into a Kun of comparable, immense size.

Its pitch-black body exuded a profound power, seemingly capable of absorbing all forms of energy.

The Kun form possessed formidable regenerative capabilities and an Immortal Physique, significantly reducing all damage taken.

Perhaps because he had pushed the bloodline power to its extreme, the Kun form could also utilize the Swallow Heaven and Devour Earth ability.

If the Kun form were combined with his Black Tortoise Form, it would create an unbreakable fortress—the ultimate defense.

The advent of the Kunpeng Form delighted Jia Ren immensely. It comprehensively enhanced his combat capabilities, officially promoting it to his current strongest mimicry form.

Of course, this wasn’t without its drawbacks... Transforming into a thousand-li Kunpeng consumed a staggering amount of nature’s spiritual energy every moment. This was not a power ordinary cultivators could wield.

Jia Ren experimented briefly before decisively dispelling the Dusk Treasured Light.

The nature’s spiritual energy within his body slowly flowed back, returning to the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.

The thousand-li Kunpeng form gradually shrank, and finally, he reverted to his human form.
