New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 249 The heartwarming toys from another world brought by my older brother!

Faced with his younger sister's business-like praise, Yuan Zhu appeared calm and unmoved, but in reality, he was not very pleased. He simply nodded slightly to show that he accepted the praise, then turned around, leaving the siblings with a mysterious back view.

We don't know what the younger sister is thinking, but the innocent younger brother is holding the warm, glowing 'flask' in his hand, staring at Yuan Zhu's back with admiration, vowing that he will be just as handsome in the future!

Even the 'monstrous worm' that he himself was unwilling to confront head-on could actually seal away a demon and compress it into this tiny flask simply by striking a cool pose and emitting a dazzling holy light? That's unbelievable!

At this moment, the prisoner lifted the transparent flask that looked like it was made of 'glass' and shook it gently. The 'cicada' inside, which had been compressed to a miniature size, impatiently vibrated its wings and emitted a sonic attack.

The sound waves struck the bottle walls, but were neutralized and disintegrated by the spatial structure, transforming into polluting energy that was purified and absorbed by the [flask]. The bottle emitted a slight warmth, indicating that a small amount of 'holy power (holy cough particles)' had been stored within the bottle's structure, awaiting extraction or release.

The young man, merely holding the flask, automatically grasped a series of 'instructions for use,' and only one thought arose in his mind: "Amazing!"

From behind, out of sight of the siblings, Yuan Zhu's handsome face quickly fell, and he muttered to Little Spicy Strip, "Damn it, what kind of garbage is this [Sealing Technique]? And it's called [Demonic Sealing Wave], yet it consumes so much power, I almost made a fool of myself. It's nowhere near as good as the original!"

Snake quickly explained, "Holy Light abilities don't have names. I named them based on your knowledge base and personal preferences. The name is [Magic Sealing Wave] because during the forging process of the [Holy Seal], relevant memories were extracted as a guide template for 'skill development'."

The Holy Light System is highly idealistic and, like a Zanpakuto or Sharingan, can randomly evolve into products that are both logical and unexpected, based on the cultivator's subconscious desires.

Yuan Zhu genuinely wanted to capture the naturally dissipating [Holy Light], so he awakened the [Power of the Sassy Cup]. He allowed the Holy Light energy to participate in the shaping process of the 'bottle structure', solidifying and preserving it. Furthermore, the closed structure of the 'flask' inherited the spatial stability of the [Little Pumpkin], which could further capture and seal the Holy Light.

As for the cost of activating the [Sealing Technique (Magic Sealing Wave)], you can think of the 'Sealing Beam' he releases as a [Gravity Pillar]. Anyone irradiated by the 'Sealing Beam' is as if struck by invisible gravity, and is suppressed by gravity, weakened, and interfered with.

The strength of the 'Sealing Beam' depends on the amount of [Holy Light] Yuan Zhu invests. The effect is similar to 1x, 2x... 10x gravity. The stronger the Sealing Beam, the greater its suppression and weakening of the prey.

Finally, a 'barrier confinement' is applied, using the intensity of the 'beam' itself to pull the confined target into the 'holy flask', completely sealing and preserving it.

The success rate of the entire 'sealing process' depends on Yuan Zhu's own strength, the weakening and suppressive power of the [Sealing Beam], and the prey's own strength. If any link is broken, the [sealing] will fail.

As for Wu Taidou's feat of defeating a stronger opponent with a rice cooker, and his incredible sealing of the over 700-year-old Piccolo, these achievements do not apply to Yuan Zhu's "Flamboyant Cup Version: Demon Sealing Wave," which is simply Snake's attempt to piggyback on the hype with a name.

The Yuan family's sealing technique is remarkably balanced and realistic. Assuming the candle's strength is 10, its success rate skyrockets in one-on-one situations with equal or lower-compatibility opponents. It's all about overwhelming the enemy, forcefully suppressing all demons and monsters, and bringing them to justice.

However, if the target's strength exceeds one's own, say at level 20, then simply relying on [Sealing Holy Light + Barrier Imprisonment] can weaken the prey to about level 12-15. At this point, the balance is still unbalanced, and the sealing process is easily disrupted.

He placed too much trust in the name given by the snake (Demon Sealing Wave), overestimated his own strength, and underestimated the seemingly gentle 'domesticated demonic giant insect', thinking that this thing would not fight back.

In the debut of the [Sealing Technique], I specially selected two of the strongest 'Demonized Giant Cicadas', wanting to leave my little sister and little brother with a little bit of shock from the 'other world'!

Therefore, he was almost completely drained of the last drop of holy light from his [Soul Crystal], leaving him in a deficit. But he refused to lose face, maintaining his composure throughout, calmly turning away to elevate his image with an air of profound mystery. The only difference was that his face was now a tiny, deathly pale.

Snake: "Boss, I've discovered a blind spot!"

What blind spot?

Snake: "You were too pretentious just now. You were only focused on posing to fool the kids and ignored the correct way to use the [Demon Sealing Wave]. You were using 'brute force' to fight the demonic insect the whole time, without any skill. It's only because your raw strength is not bad that you were able to successfully seal it by violent suppression. But the efficiency was extremely low, and you were almost drained dry."

Yuan Zhu asked in surprise: "There's technology involved? Isn't all the technology in 'flask frying'?"

[Holy Seal] After this ability is hatched, its core essence lies in the 'Power of the Sacred Cup'. [Sealing Technique] is merely a bonus software.

Snake: "Wrong! Your use of a large amount of Holy Light to create a 'Sealing Beam' to forcibly suppress the sealed demonic insects is theoretically correct, but the execution is flawed. If you use the Holy Seal. Sanctuary as a insert into the Demon Sealing Wave, it's equivalent to placing a lens at the light source when the beam is projected, amplifying the 'Sealing Technique' and achieving twice the result with half the effort!"

The snake's tail quickly performed formula calculations within the [Immortal Scripture Client. Holy Light Panel], arriving at the following conclusion:
When casting [Seal], insert a [Sanctuary] lens. This effectively amplifies the intensity of the 'Seal Beam' by 100% and increases the target's damage reduction by 100%.

This addition and subtraction result in a 200% difference. If the [Sanctuary] continues to be rebuilt in the future, not only will the strength of the [Holy Flask] begin to soar; the power of the [Sealing Technique] will also increase dramatically, achieving the effect of easily sealing enemies of higher levels.

"Is that so? The seemingly mediocre [Sealing Technique] has suddenly become useful, and it's even a late-game type with great potential for growth. But the price is 'repeated sealing.' Has repeated sealing become a subconscious thought of mine?"

After listening to Snake's advice, Yuan Zhu suddenly understood. His imposing figure instantly radiated boundless confidence; he realized he wasn't a loser after all, he had just been using it incorrectly.

A powerful aura swept over the two siblings who were playing with the 'Sealing Flask'. The older sister looked up abruptly, her professional smile freezing on her face, her little fists clenched tightly. She thought to herself, "As expected of the boss I've chosen. This aura is truly astonishing. I must cling to his coattails and never let go!"
Not wanting to perform the act of burning rats to replenish holy light in front of the two children, Yuan Zhu waved his hand lightly and said, "Elbow, let me take you to broaden your horizons and show you the supplies I have prepared for [Pastoral Village]."

After exiting the Dream Space, the three returned to the second layer, the Shadow World.

Yuan Zhu led the two to a corner at the edge of the 'Corpse Plantation'. In the newly opened small space, he pointed to the neatly stacked supplies and introduced, "These are supplies produced by the 'Outer World'. This batch is spices and seasonings, which can be used to cook and process food to enhance its taste. Some can be ground into powder and mixed to make perfumes and spices to enhance one's charm."

The younger brother, Jun, asked slowly, "Isn't food just food? Can improving its taste increase our strength?"

Yuan Zhu was stumped by the question and shook his head: "No, but it can make the food more delicious."

Upon hearing this, the younger brother was even more puzzled, his eyes filled with a clear sense of foolishness, with an expression that said, "What's the use of this?", yet he hesitated to speak.

Although the little sister had never tasted any gourmet food, ever since the captain transplanted a [Reverse Life Tree] and transformed the inner world into a [Plantation], the siblings had truly lived a good life. The pollution level of the food had plummeted, and its nutritional value had skyrocketed.

So she scolded her younger brother, saying, "Compare the difference between the food we had in the past and the food we have now, and you'll understand what delicious food is!"

The younger brother honestly replied, "That's because the quality of the food itself has improved. I still don't understand the role of 'spice'." The older sister also looked blank, so she decisively changed the subject: "Um... brother, that perfume, is it a mating pheromone concocted by a womanizer? Are you an expert in this too?"

Faced with the little girl's adoring, "I want to learn too" expression, Yuan Zhu felt a headache coming on. Where did this bumpkin come from?! What the hell is this "pheromone flower-picking thief"? Your [Feathered World] is quite the martial arts world, huh?!

"Alright, let's look at these." Yuan Zhu led the siblings to another batch of supplies and introduced them, "These are 'medicines' I bought from my hometown. They are not only cheap, but also have zero pollution, making them suitable for ordinary residents. Their effects are similar to 'elixirs'."

The little girl was very interested in Duling's ordinary medicines. When she opened the packaging and saw the 'plastic packaging' she had never seen before, she was dazzled and felt an indescribable sense of high-end quality!

However… “Why can’t I sense any medicinal effect from this potion?”

Yuan Zhu asked in confusion, "What medicinal properties? These medicines are quite potent."

“The medicinal herbs and elixirs we cultivate can be judged by the ‘spirituality (contamination)’ they contain. These elixirs are tangible but soulless.”

Yuan Zhu understood: "So, this is a potion developed for ordinary people, and it hasn't been contaminated. The environment of your underground world is considered highly polluted in my hometown. The purified spiritual energy you breathe here, the clean water, and the safe food are all heavily polluted in my hometown. One-third of the 'true qi' you've refined in your past cultivation has been used to remove 'pollution and erosion' from your body. You should be able to understand the harm of 'pollution,' right?"

The little girl exclaimed in surprise, "There's a completely clean world?"

Yuan Zhu thought about the cesspool planet Du Ling, then nodded: "It does exist! For you, everything there is like paradise, where you can freely breathe clean air (industrial exhaust gas) and drink clean water (industrial wastewater)."

He wasn't lying. Compared to the [Feathered World], Duling Star really wasn't filthy at all; on the contrary, it was like a paradise.

My brother's brain short-circuited: I can't even imagine!

The little girl immediately understood and asked, "Is it just like the legendary 'surface fairy realm' before the Great Cataclysm?"

The younger brother suddenly realized: "The mythical era when our ancestors were enslaved and oppressed by the Celestial Palace?"

The older sister ignored her 8-year-old foolish brother: "Giegie, giegie! In your hometown, are there also cultivators from the [Celestial Palace]? Are they also enslaving mortals?"

"There is indeed a Kunlun Immortal Sect, but it exists on another continent, and it is quite restrained, not enslaving mortals. Alas, I miscalculated. If I had known, I would have recorded some videos of my hometown for you, so you could see what a fairyland of green mountains, clear waters, and misty clouds looks like."

Living in a leap year, although it's rainy and damp all year round, the ground is muddy, frogs are rampant, and goblins are a plague... the scenery of the mountains in the distance is absolutely stunning, like a fairyland on earth.

Next, Yuan Zhu introduced various precision instruments to the child, such as pharmaceutical tools like balances and microscopes, as well as luxury items like mechanical watches and clocks.

The two country bumpkins in the "foam layer" were so excited and moved by the gift of a watch that they were practically begging to be sold into servitude. This truly gave Yuan Zhu a taste of Orochimaru's joy.

It's not that Orochimaru's brainwashing skills weren't strong enough, but the standard of living in the ninja world was really too low. Just give a little bit of sunshine to an orphan from the bottom of society, and they'll be completely devoted to him.

As clever as Xiaoxia is, and extremely wary, she gradually succumbed to Yuan Zhu's warm and loving advances. This was much easier for her than for Nie Yin, who had received a good education in manipulation.

Soon, the siblings, each wielding a Thor brand pistol and a machine gun, were firing at various 'demon insect corpses' like setting off firecrackers during the New Year in the underworld, their faces beaming with joy.

Human nature is universal; even orphans from another world are fascinated by the thrill of hunting with fire.

Looking at the 'Corpse-like Demon Insect Shell' riddled with bullets, cracked and cratered, the little girl held up her empty pistols and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Yuan, this thing is awesome! It's just not durable."

"Practice hard, figure out how to use it, and familiarize yourself with its configuration and attributes. In a couple of days, I'll take you to [Cicada City] to promote it. Here, this little melon is called a 'hand grenade,' take it, I'll teach you how to play it!"

"Great! What's that round plate? It looks so cute."

"That's called a landmine. It can be buried in underground tunnels, waiting for a lone demonic insect to step on it, and then with a 'BOOM!' it explodes into thousands of steel balls..."

"Hiss...!" The little girl's eyes lit up. They were all hidden weapons and mechanisms that could be used without using 'true qi'. They were really interesting, second only to alchemy.

Seeing that the siblings were indeed somewhat fascinated by the 'military toys' from Du Ling, Yuan Zhu simply pulled out a Cantonese twin-tailed bird known for its tenacious vitality from the [breeding area], tied it with several iron chains, and attached the other end to a drooping branch of the [reverse-life tree].

Then they used it as a target for the siblings to test the weapons provided by A-Miao.

Yuan Zhu was well aware that the harsh production environment of the 'underground world' had bred a large number of out-of-control, demonized giant insects. Since ordinary firearms had limited power, he specially ordered heavy weapons, grenades, shoulder-fired rocket launchers, and other insect-killing tools.

Little brother, needless to say, his physique is no worse than Yuan Zhu's.

Despite her seemingly small stature, the little girl possesses the physical attributes of a second-grade elementary school student, yet she has mastered the "Twelve Meridians" and opened up the "Ren and Du Meridians," giving her an almost ethereal beauty reminiscent of a six-year-old ninja contemplating life on the battlefield. She carries a rocket launcher without fear of recoil, treats the RPG like fireworks, and laughs with an exceptionally innocent and naive charm.

Yuan Zhu watched with great satisfaction. It felt like college students going to teach in remote rural areas had finally freed the children from heavy farm work, giving them a chance to enjoy precious playtime. They were playing with the advanced firecrackers and fireworks that the older boy had brought from the city.

Everyone was very happy, and the atmosphere was exceptionally warm.

Just ignore the [Guangdong-style twin tails] on the other side, a bloody mess, splattering with gore, limbs and flesh scattered all over the ground, its corpse still struggling and twitching violently.
