Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 378 [378] The First World Trade Begins

Glug!

The pit inside the altar was filled with blood and bones, a truly horrifying sight, a veritable hell on earth. However, for the many martial arts elders present, who had seen countless dead people, such a scene could not move them at all.

Needless to say, the Blood Demon Cult Leader Xu Tianzheng was a notorious villain who had killed tens of thousands of people.

The resurrection of the dead is different. They have never seen it before, and it is resurrected right in front of them, especially since they watched this person die with their own eyes.

The skeleton, devoid of any flesh or blood, with skin covering the bones and dry hair, was indistinguishable from a vengeful ghost.

At this moment, it stood up as if it were alive, its black eyes staring at them intently. Blood was continuously injected into its body, and its flattened internal organs and chest cavity began to refill, as if reshaping those vital internal organs.

Chi Chi!

Vigorous blood and energy flowed through him, and with the powerful beating of his heart, his withered hair and skin regained their vitality and luster, and his facial features gradually returned to their original state.

"Impossible!" The Poison King Sect Master's face turned green with fright. He had personally captured this person, who didn't even have the strength of the second stage of the Human Realm. How could he possibly be able to revive human flesh and bones? Even experts at the Heavenly Realm couldn't do this. Only some legendary spiritual herbs and rare treasures might have a chance, but even they couldn't be this exaggerated.

The Blood Demon Cult Leader, Xu Tianzheng, was the most shocked. His eyes were fixed on Wang Ya, and his heart was in turmoil. These Earthly Realm cultivators had no idea what the resurrection of this corpse meant.

His death a thousand years ago was a feigned death. The Blood Demon Pearl kept his consciousness alive and continuously provided him with vital essence to keep his body fresh. After surviving the natural disaster, he returned to his physical body.

He is currently in this state, and he has only survived by relying on the Blood Demon Pearl, thus overcoming the five-hundred-year lifespan limit.

As the most treasured heirloom of the Blood Demon Cult, the Blood Demon Pearl may have originated from the heavens after the void was shattered, making it a treasure of the upper realm.

Resurrection is simply impossible; he can't do it, and neither can the Heavenly Gate Realm. Once you're dead, you're dead, unless your consciousness survives.

Only the most precious treasures from the upper realm can sustain consciousness.

He was certain that there could be no supreme treasures from the upper realm on this dried-up corpse.

He personally devoured the life force and essence of these living beings.

There's only one possibility left.

Xu Tianzheng's face turned red, and his eyes were almost bloodshot.

The corpse was filled with flesh and blood again, its hair and skin were shiny and bright, its features were three-dimensional, and its black eyes were indifferent, as if it did not belong to this world.

Her hair fluttered gently, and the linen clothes she wore had long since disappeared. Her fair skin and flawless body were perfectly proportioned.

A faint glow emanated from every bone, creating a stark contrast with the blood-soaked atmosphere of the underground ruins, making it impossible to imagine that this was the hideous and grotesque corpse.

The Sunflower Sect Master and the others were stunned, standing there in shock, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word, only their hearts were filled with turbulent waves.

"What are you? What are you? You monster!" The Poison King Sect Master lost all composure as the leader of a sect and roared.

"I personally brought you here. You're just a martial artist imprisoned in the first realm. There's no mistake, I'm absolutely not wrong. How could you possibly be resurrected? Does resurrection really exist? Does it really exist?"

Xu Tianzheng transformed into a streak of blood-red light and instantly appeared in front of the Poison King Sect Master. He opened his mouth, and blood gushed out. The Poison King Sect Master, who was being washed by this Blood Demon True Qi, had his physical body corroded in an instant, turning into a rotting skeleton lying on the ground. He was dead!

The other three came to their senses, their eyes filled with terror.

No matter what strange things happen, their current situation is extremely precarious, and they face a life-or-death crisis at any moment.

The Sunflower Sect Master's eyes darted around, and he blurted out in a sharp voice, "Blood Demon Sect Master, aren't you surprised that this skeleton has come back to life? It may be hiding a huge secret, possibly related to your Blood Demon Technique and Blood Demon Pearl."

"If we don't deal with this corpse, who knows what strange things might happen? Don't attack us; let's work together to deal with it."

Before the Sunflower Sect Master could finish speaking, a blood-red light swept over them, and his pupils reflected the sinister smile of the Blood Demon Sect Master, Xu Tianzheng.

"Xu Tianzheng, are you insane?! This corpse might be related to your Blood Demon Technique! Don't kill me! Ah!!"

Holding the head of the Sunflower Sect Master, Xu Tianzheng didn't even glance at the two terrified people, but instead walked step by step to Wang Ya, who was suspended in mid-air.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Ya's dark eyes; he didn't quite understand the indigenous person's behavior.

The process of distorting reality is about to end, and the mental energy consumed is about 30%.

The degree to which reality is distorted represents the magnitude of the consumption.

"Xu Tianzheng, a martial artist from the lower realm, pays respects to the celestial being from the upper realm." Under the shocked gazes of the Iron Sword Sect Master and Sun Xing, the Cold Moon Sword Master, Xu Tianzheng bowed to Wang Ya, kneeling on one knee and holding the head of the Sunflower Sect Master in his hands.

It was too bizarre that the Blood Demon Cult Leader, who was known for his ruthless killings and ruthless eyes, was now kneeling before a young man who was no more than twenty or thirty years old.

The most crucial element is the words spoken by the Blood Demon Cult Leader.

Celestial beings in the upper realm.

The Iron Sword Sect Master looked astonished. At his level, he was not yet able to understand the meaning of the four words "Heavenly Being of the Upper Realm".

The depth of the Sword Forging Manor was comparable to that of the Iron Sword Sect, Sun Xing's pupils contracted as he recalled the relevant information.

His gaze was fixed on Wang Ya, his voice trembling, "Impossible, this is impossible, could there really be an upper realm, a world after the void is shattered, and the Heavenly Gate Realm is not the end?"

"The Heavenly Gate Realm is certainly not the end, you fool." Xu Tianzheng wanted to answer this guy, but he didn't dare to offend the Celestial Being. His back was bent, his head was lowered, and his expression was excited.

There's absolutely no mistake, the dead are resurrected, human flesh is alive, bones are alive again, that ethereal and otherworldly aura is a difference that doesn't belong to this world.

Xu Tianzheng had reason to believe that the person before him was a celestial being.

There's also the throbbing of the Blood Demon Bead in the heart area.

"Heavenly beings of the upper realm, this person has offended you and deserves to be executed."

Black eyes fell on Xu Tianzheng. Interesting, this native seems to have misunderstood something, but it can be determined that the upper realm of the shattered void exists.

"I do not know why this celestial being has descended to the mortal realm, but Xu Tianzheng, a martial artist from the lower realm, is willing to serve him with utmost loyalty."

As Xu Tianzheng said those words, he felt nervous.

The Blood Demon Sect has a very ancient lineage. It wasn't originally called the Blood Demon Sect; it had many names. Only those who obtained the Blood Demon Technique and the Blood Demon Pearl learned that the source of the great secret, the supreme treasure of the upper realm, came from the lower realm of the celestial beings of the upper realm. There were also beings from the lower realm who broke through the void and became celestial beings.

However, even in ancient texts, only the past is recorded. No one has ever truly seen the celestial beings of the upper realm. Over thousands of years, very few beings have been born that have broken through the void, and they have all eventually disappeared.

Xu Tianzheng was only guessing, but he was willing to take the gamble. He didn't care about the dough or anything else, otherwise he wouldn't have survived to this day and reached his current level of strength.

Wang Ya slowly descended from mid-air to the ground, his bare feet stepping on the blood. He walked down from the altar step by step, and at the same time, clothes began to form on his naked body. It was a white robe, and he put on a pair of black straw sandals. His hair was tied behind his back, and his black eyes moved slightly.

His extraordinary mental strength was depleted by another ten percent.

His aura began to change, his muscles and bones trembled, and his blood and energy surged.

The strength of the physical body begins to advance from the Foundation Establishment 'Skin Refining' stage, the first level of the Human Realm.

The skin, flesh, bone marrow, and internal organs were gradually perfected, achieving optimal improvement.

At this moment, he had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his powerful blood and qi were almost overflowing, leaving the three people present stunned.

Before it was fully used up, the bio-energy began to transform, gradually converging into the bone marrow, gradually forming a mysterious force of qi and blood. Hot white smoke billowed from the nostrils, and the second stage of the human realm was achieved.

Click!

The bone marrow began to vibrate, and the power evolved further, merging into the internal organs, giving birth to an even more extraordinary force—the third realm of human strength.

The Iron Sword Sect Master and Sun Xing stared at Wang Ya as if they had seen a ghost.

This is true qi!

What a joke!

In a mere instant, he went from the first level of the Human Realm to the first level of the Earth Realm. Was he a human or a ghost?

Nothing so outrageous has ever happened before, at least not in the majority of their lives.

Roar!

The three of them seemed to hear the roar of a fierce tiger, the king of tigers.

In another daze, looking behind Wang Ya, it seemed as if a winged white tiger descended from the sky, exuding a fierce and awe-inspiring aura.

The highest level that Tiger King's True Skill can reach is the first level of Earth Gate, which is already a top-notch skill in the martial arts world, capable of becoming the leader or elder of some sects.

Xu Tianzheng's face lit up with fervor. This was definitely something only a celestial being from the Upper Realm could do.

Even with the Blood Demon Technique and the Blood Demon Pearl, it would be impossible for him to advance a person from the first stage of the Human Realm to the first stage of the Earth Realm in such a short time, and the young man in front of him was still improving, as if there was no end to it.

The upper limit of Tiger King True Skill is indeed the first realm of Earth Gate where Tiger King True Qi is born. However, the distortion of reality by extraordinary spiritual power can break the upper limit and turn the impossible into the possible.

In addition, Wang Ya used the knowledge in his mind to artificially modify this ordinary technique, raising its upper limit to the level of a divine technique in the words of the locals.

The level to which a technique can be elevated according to a given realm determines its grade as a divine skill.

At this moment, Tiger King True Skill—no, it should be renamed—was created by Wang Ya, who combined his extraordinary knowledge of flesh and blood research with the process of modifying Harak, envisioning his flesh and blood furnace, infinite black core, and various talents of the Lord of Shadows, and calmly created a new skill.

It is titled "The Myriad Forms and Divine Shapes Devouring Heaven True Scripture".

Tiger King True Skill, as its origin, is a kind of imitative kung fu. It is a kung fu method created by observing the characteristics of tiger-like creatures and taking their advantages.

There is no reason why Harak could not serve as an example to be observed, thereby creating a related practice.

It is also related to Wang Ya's own path as a wizard.

As a price, about 60% of the extraordinary mental energy has been consumed.

boom!

The first stage of Earthly Gate involves creating a seed of true qi within the body, thereby acquiring true qi with relevant attributes.

The growth of true qi depends on the bio-energy consumption and supply of one's own physical body.

Once it grows to a certain size, it becomes more solid and powerful, manifesting various extraordinary abilities externally; this is the second stage of the Earthly Gate.

The third realm of Earthly Barriers involves releasing true energy with astonishing condensation, capable of being shaped, such as weapons, or suppressed from a distance by hand. This energy persists even at considerable distances from the body, the distance depending on strength and the intensity of the true energy.

At this moment, Wang Ya has already reached the third level of the Earth Gate, making him one of the top masters in the martial arts world today. He is only one step away from becoming a top-tier master of the Heaven Gate.

The Iron Sword Sect Master and Sun Xing watched Wang Ya improve step by step. The expressions on their faces changed from shock and fear at the beginning to numbness now. They may never have such a fluctuating state of mind again in their lives. Too many things have happened, and they are too mysterious.

Xu Tianzheng had already lowered his head deeply, his face flushed, and his emotions were just as intense as the other two, albeit in a positive way.

Celestial beings, true celestial beings from the upper realm.

They can do all sorts of impossible things.

In the martial arts world of today, the most prestigious sects and clans have all produced powerful figures capable of breaking through the void, or possess the inheritance of supreme treasures from the upper realm. Even the central imperial court inherits supreme treasures from the upper realm.

The reason why his Blood Demon Sect was destroyed was because someone spread the news that his Blood Demon Sect's Blood Demon Pearl was a supreme treasure of the Upper Realm, which attracted other major sects to take action.

Otherwise, the Blood Demon Cult, with him in charge, would never have been destroyed.

He wouldn't have ended up in a coffin two hundred years before the five-hundred-year lifespan limit was set to take effect.

The martial arts sects of Jiangnan Road are merely ingredients they can take and use at will.

The original Blood Demon Pearl was merely a rare treasure of heaven and earth that could assist in the cultivation of the Blood Demon Technique. Even the phrase "treasure of the upper realm" was only known to the inheritors of truly ancient sects. Xu Tianzheng was unaware that the Blood Demon Pearl was a treasure of the upper realm at the time. He lay in the coffin for over a thousand years before his consciousness entered the Blood Demon Pearl and he finally discovered its secret.

'Luofu Taoist Palace, Penglai Sword Pavilion, Hundred Flowers Valley, Shaolin Buddhist Temple, Wudang Immortal Mountain.'

Each name corresponded to a powerful figure, and a chilling killing intent appeared on his face.

Just because of a rumor, they destroyed the Blood Demon Sect as easily as crushing an ant. Even the Heavenly Gate experts were just slightly larger ants in the face of such a behemoth.

Those hypocritical fellows probably don't know that the Blood Demon Pearl is truly a treasure of the Upper Realm. Xu Tianzheng lay in the coffin for countless years, thinking of revenge, preparing to use the Blood Demon Pearl to overthrow those so-called righteous sects, but still without any success.

The appearance of the celestial beings from the upper realm gave him a glimmer of hope and a chance to turn things around.

If what is recorded in those ancient texts is correct.

"Xu Tianzheng, a martial artist from the lower realm, wishes to follow the Celestial Being. We humbly request the Celestial Being's permission."

Conquering the fortress.

Lando the Wizard approached Wang Ya and told him something unexpected.

"Hans Christian Andersen may not be dead yet; he may still be alive."

"Still alive!" Wang Ya placed the quill pen on the table, his eyes narrowing. "Are you sure?"

"My divinations are almost never wrong, you should know that." The wizard Lando said solemnly as he sat in a chair opposite Wang Ya, their eyes meeting.

This is a terrible thing.

Even the World Destroyer Meteor Cannon couldn't kill Hans Christian Andersen.

A being who was suspected to be a high-level wizard in his previous life, and the hatred he harbored in the Underdark, would pose an extremely troublesome threat to Wang Ya and his group if he were to regain his former strength.

"However, judging from the divination results, Andersen's condition is extremely abnormal, very weak, so weak that I can hardly believe it."

Wang Ya raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure of his location?"

Lando the Wizard smiled and said, "That's just like you. But it will probably be very difficult. He has disappeared from the wizarding world. He has probably entered the deeper space. He may not be in this wizarding star system, or he may be in the inner world. In any case, it will be very, very difficult to pinpoint his location and hunt him down."

While feeling regretful, Wang Ya also felt a sense of urgency, thinking, "It seems we need to hurry."

"We really need to hurry. The second thing I came to you about is the newly built four world altars, and there are new world altars that have been connected to a new world. This time it is very stable, and there is someone in charge on the other side."

Wang Ya's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "It seems the first world trade can begin."

"There's another surprise: the world altars connected to the other world aren't just one."
