Chapter 718: Chapter 89: Artifact of Body Seizing (3/3, 9000 updates today)

"These are supplied to other medical facilities."

An Jing took a deep breath, his gaze deep as he observed the identifiers on the brains and organs, "The demand is not small, I’m not very familiar with the underground industry of Xuanye City; organs are one thing, but what are the brains used for?"

Standing beside him, Nian Quan’s face was pale. Although he had learned top-notch swordsmanship and realized his talent, becoming a genius, he had yet to see the darkest part of this world.

He was not afraid of killing or facing the dead, but facing the malice that treated humans as materials and animals, he was still too pure.

—Is this death? Is this considered living? If this is living, what’s the difference from being dead?

"Many cultivators who have compensated for their bodies using Evergreen Wood want organ transplants, and Yuhua Cultivators are the same, over-transformed. Even replacing with others’ flesh and blood is better than becoming entirely an Artifact Spirit."

Although Huo Qing on the other side also had a hard expression, having lived at the bottom gang level, even if he had not seen such, he had heard many rumors. He pulled out a Heart-cohering Talisman and stuck it on his forehead, which made him feel much better, and he slowly said, "As for the brains... um, I’m not really sure either, but I have a guess, or rather, we have always had a guess in Floating Dust Plains."

"Those bloodless, tearless corporate guards... where exactly do they come from? No one can infiltrate them, nor does anyone know their origins, and I’ve never seen anyone really become a core guard of a big company. The most one could become from below is perhaps a squad leader, and those who were sent above wouldn’t go do guard squad work. Those hidden beneath the armor... are they Artifact Spirits or living people?"

"Now," Huo Qing chuckled, though the laugh was unpleasant, serving as a morale booster in this damned environment: "I think I understand what this is all about."

"It’s not that simple, how much can the Night Niche Gang actually produce?"

But An Jing shook his head, he stepped forward, gently stroked the containers holding the brains, then expelled a force to shatter them into a mist of blood.

Calmly pulverizing each brain, whose ’consciousness had been emptied’ and could hardly be considered alive anymore, An Jing lightly said, "This technology isn’t difficult, the big corporations must have already mastered it, even cloning would be better than using lower-class people for transformations—this is a transaction among the lower levels of Xuanye City, it feels like faction mercenaries, or some Wilderness forces doing it themselves."

Having seen too many animals in his past and present lives, An Jing could guess what was really going on: "The only ones capable of capturing a lot of Wilderness people on a large scale must be the Wilderness people themselves, this is competition among Wilderness forces, a method to completely eliminate rival forces, and the Wilderness people also lack the raw materials for Daoist Soldiers, they need these kinds of safety environment technology products."

"As for those upper big shots, they need customization, not this kind of mass production. Haha, hahahahahaha—"

An Jing suddenly laughed, surprising Huo Qing and Nian Quan who looked up at the young Martial Artist, but they found that An Jing wasn’t insane or venting, but genuinely laughing heartily; he shook his head and said, "What’s the deal, why do I so understand the thinking of these beasts? Damn it, I don’t want to understand these tricks."

"But not understanding won’t do... damn it, not killing isn’t an option."

Raising his hand, An Jing crushed all the ’brains’ and ’organs’ present, he calmly walked towards the next laboratory: "Let’s go, these poor people can’t come back to life either, let’s give their remains some relief."

"Don’t be afraid, if they really plan to seek revenge on us, let them all come find me."

"How could they, if they are grateful for our kindness, that’s all well and good, if they still dare to resent us, then surely, we will share the burden together."

Nausea and aversion were only temporary. Huo Qing and Nian Quan quickly recovered, and they followed An Jing as they swept through four large laboratories, pulverizing all the specimens together.

There were no survivors.

An Jing and his teams were already very fast arriving, but many Wilderness people brought here were already half dead, and the technology of Tianyuan Realm was too high; those operating tables only needed inputting corresponding data and pressing a button to automate life support and dissect bodies, and then experimentation or processing was extremely easy; it didn’t take more than five minutes for four large laboratories to process nearly a hundred people.

Moreover, besides these ’raw materials’, there was also a part being Yuhua Cultivators’ modification table, a cultivator who was either from the Night Niche Gang or used their facilities for modification was merging with the Heavenly Mechanism Armor but the surgery was half-done when An Jing and others arrived, the medical staff all escaped, the Spiritual Power supply was also unstable, and he died right there.

"The technology is quite good, no wonder Saint Wisdom Medical also sought them."

Huo Qing observed for a while, confirming that the Night Niche Gang was truly a non-corporate pinnacle in relevant biotechnologies in Xuanye City; some smaller companies indeed couldn’t compare: "On the surface, corporate groups still maintain peace and stability, wanting everyone to be happy and healthy, sometimes these experiments really do need a proxy."

"It’s merely an act of self-deception."

An Jing shook his head slightly.

The biotechnology development in Tianyuan Realm has advanced very rapidly, whether it’s the Yuhua Cultivator, the Qingmu prosthetics, or human body modifications like the Fengdu Guards, all surpass those of the same level in Huai Xu Realm, and can even be said to far exceed them. However, these achievements are undoubtedly built upon the blood and tears of many people.

In Tianyuan Realm, everyone practices cultivation, not only to resist the invasion of demon beasts and Heavenly Demons but also to provide too perfect an environment for such experiments—The seeds of martial artists in Huai Xu Realm are all Fate Pattern Owners, each with more or less destiny. Too much slaughtering will truly provoke a response from Heavenly Dao, wondering where the seeds I’ve sown have gone? Then it mobilizes causality, dispatching people like An Jing, who belong to Seven Fiend Tribulation or other Fate Pattern Owners, to send that bunch of fools one by one to heaven.

In contrast, although Tianyi Demon Sect also does similar things, they increase the number, forcing ordinary people to become Fate Pattern Owners, eating those who are weak and half-awakened, and gently nurturing those who are fully awakened, just skirting around Heavenly Dao’s edge. Hence, although they are denounced, such people like An Jing emerge from time to time to give them a good beating, they still exist to this day.

Soon, An Jing and his companions cleaned up the last small laboratory.

This place was clean and tidy, with only two operating tables, and the facilities were so advanced that they surpassed the understanding of Huo Qing and even Nian Quan.

"Even the biological laboratories of Third Middle School aren’t this advanced!" the young swordsman muttered, "My god, these devices definitely aren’t owned by the Night Niche Gang by themselves, just this ’Soul Analyzer’ alone is a Spiritual Artifact, worth hundreds of thousands of Good Deeds!"

"It’s a device used to separate the Seven Souls, analyze the soul... It can physically break through, forcibly search the soul, even forcefully read things you don’t remember yourself, and can also implant non-existent memories into someone."

An Jing glanced at it and nodded, acknowledging that such a device was indeed expensive.

However, what he was more curious about was a brain and a complete set of nervous systems and internal organs, carefully placed on one side in a jade cabinet.

There were no labels on it, and rather than calling it a brain, it could be said to be a ’net’ consisting only of the brain, internal organs, and nervous system of a person, stripped of all flesh, bones, and skin. It looked somewhat like a jellyfish, but it shimmered with Spiritual Light.

"Heavenly Spiritual Root."

An Jing whispered softly, "This is a ’Heavenly Spiritual Root’."

Just like with Nian Quan, An Jing could even sense that this ’person’ cultivated in the vat was a perfect cycle of Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood. It was a genuine Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.

Yet, it had no feeling of Spiritual Wisdom, and it couldn’t even be said that its consciousness had been erased; it was completely blank.

"No, An Jing, this isn’t a person."

Subdue Evil suddenly spoke up, "This is an ’Artifact’."

"A man-made ’Artifact’."

"What do you mean?" An Jing inquired, and Subdue Evil solemnly said, "This is a kind of ’Biological Magical Artifact’."

"Interesting, Biological Magical Artifacts were also developed during our era. Not to mention others, something like the Lotus Platform is naturally a Biological Magical Artifact. If you don’t interfere, it will naturally cultivate Spiritual Wisdom and become a sentient life as well as your Magical Artifact."

"Subsequent Biological Magical Artifacts are like a kind of Lifebound Spirit Beast that coexists with the cultivator, can merge as one, embodying Fatian Xiangdi, and also aid in cultivation, equivalent to an external inner core. The Beast Taming Sect focused mainly on developing this in later stages, and it’s pretty impressive."

"But this one is a bit sinister—they used human materials to create a person... without any consciousness or soul, just a lump of flesh, although alive, its brain has never been used..."

"Exactly." Sword Spirit said, "This is a cauldron for Body Seizing, right? They even managed to create a Heavenly Spiritual Root, who knows how many real Heavenly Spiritual Roots were used as materials."
