Chapter 364 - 345: A Normal New Favorite?

Chapter 364: Chapter 345: A Normal New Favorite?

Therefore, strictly speaking, the eggs of fierce beasts that could be placed here, in terms of bloodlines, should be more precious than the ones from the Treasure Zone.

As expected, there were only a few dozen eggs on a rack that spanned several floors, yet Wang Zijia felt a primitive aura.

Some even held a trace of ancient bloodlines.

For one of them, Wang Zijia vaguely sensed fluctuations in space.

He subconsciously looked at the information on its tag.

Race: Unknown

Bloodline: Unclear (Space, Speed type)

Grade: Second-grade

Description: It is suspected to possess a thin Candle Dragon or Kunpeng bloodline, especially adept at speed. However, because it is a hybrid beast, its bloodline is mixed, this information can only be used as a reference. Unfortunately, it’s heavily polluted and would most likely evolve into a devil or sinner among fierce beasts, making it difficult to nurture.

Looking at the information on this beast egg, Wang Zijia decisively collected it.

After wandering for a while without finding any other satisfactory eggs, he started looking for any spiritual objects that could help him make a breakthrough.

Even a one in ten thousand increase, Wang Zijia would not let pass.

After all, becoming immortal was a road without regrets and it wasn’t the same as Foundation Establishment!

Once the Rune Seed solidified, even washing it a thousand times wouldn’t change it.

Of course, before it took shape, you could wash it until there was nothing to wash.

This was the reason he was here, rummaging for resources despite being prepared. Wasn’t it all to improve the quality of the Rune Seed and solidify the foundation?

After a long while, Wang Zijia carefully toured the entire treasury to make sure there was nothing left that could help before quietly leaving.

······

Returning to the Demon-suppressing Tower, Wang Zijia first went to the underground laboratory.

The Underground Palace in the Time Forbidden Zone, built by the disciples of the Holy Land, was overall more classical and grand than what Wang Zijia built himself.

However, the underground laboratory was still constructed to his previous specifications.

The bloody crystals formed the main body with blood essence outlining the arrays, and a bone altar filled with skulls.

Because it was too underworld-like, he had forbidden others to come down.

The reason for this was not only because he was used to it but also because this environment greatly complemented his spells.

Even the crystal wall around him, due to the special nature of his spells, the red crystals he condensed were quite helpful in researching certain special spells.

The Five Ghosts were tossed out by Wang Zijia to guard the law.

Seeing the familiar place again, the Five Ghosts all shivered together.

Wang Zijia ignored them and pulled out two beast eggs, hesitating over which one to use for hatching.

One was the Eagle-Pig Hybrid Egg, which could likely create a creature with a big appetite. But if it only liked to eat, why did Wang Zijia need to keep it?

Was it just to dispose of the corpses?

He might as well burn them directly!

So after a moment of thought, Wang Zijia decided to roll the dice on the unknown egg. After all, according to the warehouse introductions, it was possibly carrying Candle Dragon or Kunpeng bloodline, either of which would be extremely remarkable!

Once his mind was made up, Wang Zijia didn’t hesitate again.

He threw the unknown egg onto the bone altar and held the Eagle-Pig one possessing the devouring bloodline.

Although Wang Zijia hadn’t specialized in bloodline spells, his spiritual roots were of the flesh-earth attribute. All along in his Foundation Establishment path, he had never strayed from the blood-flesh Dao, only focusing more on the essence blood.

Therefore, a simple extraction of bloodline essence was doable for him.

Under the blessings of the Fake Pill and Third-Class Scripture, the rich mana was poured out uncontrollably, engulfing the Eagle-Pig egg.

As numerous runes circulated, strands of blood-red aura were drawn out.

The egg in his hand shifted from bursting with life to being filled with death qi.

By the time Wang Zijia had drawn out a bloodline strand the size of a hair, the egg in his hand had turned rotten, the faint smell of decay faintly edging past the shell.

Wang Zijia didn’t care about it and began the next spell with the bloodline strand in his hand.

"Fusion Scripture: Bloodline Alteration!"

In a moment, a heart made up of countless blood-red runes appeared in Wang Zijia’s hand.

"Go!"

As the mana throughout his body surged, Wang Zijia pressed the rune heart onto the unknown egg.

Countless runes liquefied and continuously poured into the fierce beast egg.

The egg kept shaking.

"Crack!"

Under the multifunctional blessings of bloodline infusions and wisdom stimulation, the egg slowly cracked open, spilling a stream of blood-colored liquid.

"Plop!"

After most of the heart of rune was integrated, the grape-sized egg could no longer bear it and shattered on the bone altar.

The ground was covered in egg fluid blended with blood. Luckily, the little creature inside had completed its hatching, albeit a bit prematurely...

"Um, is this supposed to be a Candle Dragon? Kunpeng?"

Looking at the frog-sized creature, no, a toad that was several times uglier than a frog on the bone altar, Wang Zijia was rendered speechless.

Moreover, because it was premature, this toad was barely alive.

The only saving grace was the intelligence in its eyes, a level of wisdom that it shouldn’t possess at its current developmental stage, much less a fierce beast having!

"Croak, Croak!"

The toad croaked weakly at Wang Zijia.

With its call, Wang Zijia discovered the creature’s back full of sesame-seeded-sized warts, each opening up to reveal disgusting giant mouths that spat out a tongue that was more like a tentacle, covered in barbs.

Candle Dragon???

Kunpeng???

Wang Zijia: "..."

Who the hell wrote this misinformed information card???

What kind of freaky thing is this!!!

It’s extremely ugly!

Compared to it, even the Five Ghosts could be considered normal!!!

It has no sense of aesthetics; if he were to use it as a mount, would he still be able to maintain his dignity as an Immortal Venerate?

Even a common snake is better than this monstrosity!!!

"Croak croak!"

As Wang Zijia’s mind was flooded with a myriad of thoughts, the toad in front of him croaked weakly again, seemingly on the verge of dying.

Only then did Wang Zijia come to his senses and quickly delved into its Sea of Consciousness.

Species: Swallowing Void Toad (Dragon beast)

Cultivation: Initial Stage of Child

Dao cultivation: One year (105/2000)

Bloodline: Swallowing Space Bloodline( extremely weak 100/5 million)

Talent: Devouring, Space Travel

Devouring: Before birth, a monk applied Great Divine Powers into its blood to aid in the enlightenment of Spirit Touch. It possesses a digestive system with an unusually large appetite.

Space Travel: An inherent divine power, it can travel between spaces. The range depends on its cultivation. Its current power isn’t sufficient and its bloodline purity isn’t enough to awaken it.

Note: Due to reasons such as bloodline implantation conflicts, forcing spiritual transformation, fusion mutation, etc., this beast was born prematurely, and its foundation is unstable.

Until it reaches the Infant God state, its physical size can only maintain its current state and won’t be suitable for riding. However, being a Gu insect type creature, Gu insects can be implanted within it to activate its innate divine powers indirectly. It will forever be unable to transform.

’Thanks, but no thanks. You expect me to ride this broken stuff?’

’I, as an Immortal Venerate, truly have no shame!’

’And this thing is actually a dragon beast, this dragon species is indeed... an incredible existence that can handle any situation!’

Although the potential of this beast’s talent seemed pretty decent, Wang Zijia was still cursing and mumbling.

Although he could modify its appearance, it was still based on the original. This diseased toad... before it transforms into a dragon, he was helpless!

Quickly, he exchanged the pollution for bloodline, then Wang Zijia hesitated a moment before spitting out a few drops of Essence Blood and cursing the thing in front of him.

Then, he exchanged the cursed weights for the beast’s bloodline. It wasted more than 10,000 value points but only got several hundred in return to strengthen its roots a little bit.

Finally, he managed to pull it back from the edge of death.

Looking at it recovering a bit of strength and its eyes becoming more lively as it devoured the leftover egg liquid on the ground.

Because it was happy, all the warty mouths on its body opened wide, spitting out disgusting tongues to lick up the remains, causing Wang Zijia to feel sorrow.

He... probably was not suitable to raise anything!

Look at these freaky things, is there a single one that is even a bit normal?

Shaking his head, after this experience, Wang Zijia felt that he probably didn’t want to raise anything ever again.

The only thing Wang Zijia was satisfied with was the appetite of this guy. Despite its thumb-sized body, it had eaten the whole grapefruit-sized egg liquid, including the shell.

No significant feeling of fullness transmitted, and when it grows up, its appetite will definitely be astonishing.

With its cheat-like abilities, it shouldn’t take that long to catch up with the Five Ghosts.

In thought, Wang Zijia commanded it mentally and incorporated it into his body.

With the toad appearing in the center of the Five Ghosts symbols on his chest, the Five Ghosts beside him seemed somewhat uncomfortable.

But Wang Zijia didn’t care!

After tidying up the laboratory, he got up and left the underground base.

...

While Wang Zijia was preparing for the breakthrough in these few days, the Demon Suppression Holy Land also kept operating in the outside world for about a year.

The three Saint Masters frequently visited the Major Sects, exchanging benefits to obtain any spiritual objects on the list given by Wang Zijia.

As low as first-grade items and as high as third-grade, they didn’t let go of anything that could even slightly aid Wang Zijia in solidifying his Rune Seed.

Because Wang Zijia just took the spiritual objects to extract dozens of Pill guide auras, the losses for the spiritual objects were very minimal.

With the endorsement of Wang Zijia, the Immortal Venerate, warehouses of every family were almost visited by the three Saint Masters.

Countless treasures were invited to Demon Suppression Holy Land, and Wang Zijia prepared thousands of high and low-grade spiritual objects before and after.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say they searched throughout the realm!

It’s not unusual for Wang Zijia to treat it this way, mainly because it’s challenging to solidify top-grade Rune Seed!

Even third-grade is as hard as reaching the sky. Even with the foundation of thousands of God Monarchs in Wanyu, there hadn’t been a top third-grade Immortal Seed for thousands of years. The difficulty can be imagined.

Note that we’re talking about top third-grade, not first-grade.

Meaning, with the Wanyu Immortal Sect’s foundation, nurturing a disciple with a third-grade Immortal seed is incredibly tough!

Once the Rune Seed solidifies, it will be permanently set, and chances are it’ll also be set after a reset.

Moreover, as it relates to his entire cultivation path afterwards, it is all-important, and Wang Zijia had no choice but to put all of his efforts into it.
