Chapter 498: 445

"Understood!" The three chorused in unison.

Wang Zijia did not say anything more, considering his current identity, this degree of attitude was enough to make them pay a hearty amount of attention.

······

A quarter of an hour later, at the imperial capital, Qintian Observatory’s Star-picking Tower.

Led by Dong Chengye and the others, Wang Zijia arrived at the top floor of the Star-Picking Tower, the highest building in the imperial capital, from where the entire capital could be taken in at a glance.

Though there were no spiritual veins or cave mansions, as a residence for a day, it wasn’t bad, after all, it had a dazzling night view.

"Elder, how do you find it? If you’re not satisfied, there’s a second-grade cave mansion at the Lingyu Manor outside the city!" Dong Chengye carefully observed Wang Zijia’s expression and asked.

"Let it be here!" Wang Zijia nodded indifferently and asked Dong Chengye, "Which sect is this place attached to?"

Seeing this, Dong Chengye passed the question to Shangguan Qijiang, "Responding to the elder, I am a disciple of the Danxia Sect, a first-grade affiliated sect of Wanyu, subordinate to the Pill Institute!"

Hearing this, Wang Zijia took out his official information and frowned, saying:

"Your sect has two God Monarchs and thirty-seven Perfected individuals. Even within a first-grade sect of Wanyu, it ranks well. The human calamity developed to this point, why has there been no support coming?"

Although Wang Zijia’s tone was calm and there was no incline for blame, Shangguan Qijiang’s face turned somewhat pale and he nervously responded:

"Reporting to the elder, I’m not sure either. But in recent days, disasters have occurred in all corners of our subordinate dynasties. The martial uncles and grandmasters of our sect should have all gone out."

"Both the God Monarchs went into action?" Wang Zijia asked incredulously.

"This, I’m not sure. Should I invite my martial uncles and grandmasters to meet with the elder?" Shangguan Qijiang asked, lowering his head and not daring to look at Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia shook his head and changed the topic, looking at the three and asking, "From when I set out from the sect, there were indeed constant demon disasters along the way. But observing your surrounding areas, they seem to be much worse. Do you know why?"

The three shook their heads in confusion and unanimously responded that they did not know.

"Alright, you may leave now!" Wang Zijia waved his hand to signal them to leave.

"Acknowledging the decree!" The three respectfully saluted and left in unison.

······

In the vast great hall, only Wang Zijia and Chu Ziyu remained.

Wang Zijia with a wave of his hand, a book page flew out.

"Bang... Patter!"

The book page exploded and a young man with a donkey face and a short and fat woman with a freckled face fell out.

"Elder, spare us, please spare us!"

After falling out, they looked disoriented for a moment, then continued to kowtow and plead for mercy.

Wang Zijia went and sat down on the high seat in the hall. He flicked his finger and two spiritual lights shot into the mouths of the two.

Since there was no attempt to hide the action, both of them discovered the foreign objects that had invaded their bodies, yet dared not resist at all, obediently swallowing them down.

After a moment of successfully seeding the demon, Wang Zijia checked their information.

Name: Mai Chunxiao (Female)

Spiritual Roots: Top-grade Water Spirit Root

Cultivation: Late stage of Sacrificial Wine

Power: Three Hundred Years (200,000/200,000)

Magic Door: Witchcraft Swallowing Pill Method ·····

Usable Value: 340,000

Looking at the information, Wang Zijia initially felt that the cultivation of these two demons was weak, but the next moment, upon seeing their special status as Weights, he came to a realization.

Special Status: Human Pill Livestock. Disciples bred by the Demon Dao using special methods are given the child version of a mother-child type of Magic Door.

When their Magic Door reaches Great Mastery, they will complete self-sacrifice and become a pure Human Pill.

To the cultivator of the mother version of the main Magic Door, it is a supreme treasure pill, which can not only enhance a certain level of cultivation, but also greatly advance the comprehension process of the related Magic Door of the same origin.

It is a commonly used sophisticated livestock breeding method in the Demon Dao!

’This isn’t nurturing disciples, this is completely nurturing top-grade furnace vessels and also the kind you directly eat.’

’Also, right, in the Demon Dao, Human Pill laws are prevalent, unless one’s path of progress is utterly blocked, how many could sincerely nurture disciples?’

’The top boss of Bone Soul Sect, Qi Chounu, is leading the sacrificing, breeding, pill-consuming, you can’t expect any good birds to come out of there!’

"Talk about the situation in your Demon Gate!" Wang Zijia sat on the high seat, leaning back slightly in relax, but his aged face was still putting quite a bit of pressure on them.

"You two might choose to stay silent, or try to deceive me...after all, I am quite curious, is your Demon Gate’s counter-interrogation methods stronger, or are my methods plentiful."

"We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare!"

These two were mentally incapable of comparing with the bunch of Sacrificial wines in the sect; they were somewhat scared, trembling, and without waiting for Wang Zijia to take action, they spilled the beans, just like that.

"A half month ago, after the assault by the Exalted Immortal of Wanyu Immortal Sect on the Bone Soul Sect, the Saint Master... the Demon Master was furious and issued the Demon Assemble Order!"

"No longer constraining us, the minor heterodox and demon sects are even spurring us to head towards Wanyu."

"After entering Wanyu, we no longer have to abide by the laws of the Devil’s Gate. We can indiscriminately manufacture human pills, without considering the race of humans and the interval between harvests..."

The donkey-faced demon cultivator felt a gradually chilling gaze from Chu Ziyu by his side. His voice gradually lowered. A short, fat woman by his side continued saying:

"In any case, it’s the Bone Soul Sect issuing this mobilization order to incite us smaller sects to stir trouble at the Wanyu Immortal Sect on our own."

"Over these years, due to the Bone Soul Sect’s rule of preserving the human race, which restricts everyone from human plundering, we need to pay human blood taxes, and many sects are extremely lacking in human and rape supplies."

"Moreover, the humans in Wanyu are mostly high-end, so many have responded..."

With the two’s explanations, Wang Zijia roughly understood the current situation.

It seems, just as he predicted, the situation was gradually turning into a disaster.

"The demon cultivator mentioned earlier had major news? What kind of major news? What else is the Devil’s Gate planning?" Wang Zijia looked at the two and asked.

"Major news?" The donkey-faced man appeared puzzled. "The master... perhaps the Old Lofty Monster just said that to try and escape!"

However, the short, fat woman suddenly interjected, "It’s said that a Ghostly Domain has appeared at Zhongshan. After hearing this news, we rushed this way, planning to refine pills while en route to check its authenticity. God Monarch, is this what you wanted to ask?"

"Hmm? A Ghostly Domain?" Wang Zijia’s expression changed slightly. His casual demeanor became serious as he asked, "The Ghostly Domain belonging to the Time Sin?"

"It should be. The Old Lofty Monster said it is suspected to be related to the ancient Buddhist sects. Quite a few people have gotten the news, and many have set out in this direction!" the short fat woman responded in kind.

’So that’s it. No wonder this region is markedly more severe. As for the high-levels of Danxia Sect...’

Wang Zijia extensively researched the topic of Sins in the Sect.

Initially, Sins were not categorized. Later, a shocking guru discovered the annihilation crisis, performed a divination, and produced two hexagrams, dividing Sins into categories and creating a prophecy that may be fulfilled in any era.

The two hexagrams were:

[Divine Evil Disaster, all the tribes are crazy!]

[Time calamities are different; Number calamities are mysterious; Life calamities are indescribable...]

Divine Evil Disaster came from the first hexagram and was predicted to erupt directly before the end of the previous Fifth Era, also known as the Daoist Era or the Era of Dharma-ending.

As such, the Divine Dao disappeared in the Fifth Era and was forbade by all. By the current Sixth Era, due to an entire era’s discontinuity, it has become a legend.

As for the second hexagram, it is incomplete due to unknown reasons.

Someone may have deliberately erased it. Either way, its full contents were not publicly known, but it still divided the Sins into categories.

Apart from Divine Sins, Time Sins, Number Sins, and Life Sins are the three major Sins without strict class delineation.

However, Life Sins are the most common, so lower-end circles of cultivators often encounter them.

These are mostly phsyical deformities, as described by the hexagram, and are indescribable.

Of course, everything had its opposite, so nothing was purely harmful. Life Sins could be used as flesh fields and such.

Number Sins were a bit rarer. Once they appeared, they tended to form Mysterious Domains and were highly elusive.

Similarly, each established Sin Mysterious Domain is a wealth, an opportunity!

Apart from the minor benefits of Mysterious Domains, once the Illusion Master matures, they would birth treasures containing certain rules.

Just like the core of the previous Thousand-faced, Ten-thousand formed mystery that Wang Zijia encountered. It was an odd round stone.

These kinds of treasures, let alone an Infant God, even Crossing Tribulation Major repairers would be tempted. Extremely strong Illusion Masters could even form treasures that even immortals would covet.

There were even legends that stated some Sin Mysterious Domain cultivated a tangible rank, that anyone who obtained it could become immortal instantly!!!

Among all Sins, Time Sins were the rarest.

Like Number Sin, Time Sin also had its spatial region. However, unlike the elusive Mysterious Domains, Time Sins mostly originated from ancient times.

Wang Zijia heard stories of Time Sin in his previous life; it just had a more prominent name in his previous life!

[Ghost cars, Ghost ships, Ghost trains, etc.]

For example, common stories involve a plane or ship suddenly disappearing without a trace.

After countless years, it suddenly reappears. Its interior may appear in ruins, or it might look as though it has traveled through time and space, as if everything was yesterday.

These are the main scenes in stories of Ghost cars, ships, and the like.

In this world, it has a unified name, the Ghostly Domain, also known as Time Sin!

The types of Ghostly Domains vary. It could be cars, ships, a city, a sect, or even a small world!

It may not necessarily have living beings, nor is it necessarily purely bad like the Number Sin Mysterious Domains.

It might also be the ideal land in The Tale of Peach Blossom Spring, a Ghostly Mini World, a secret realm detached from time.

The only similarity was the concept of [Unusual]. The Ghostly Domain must be an aberration in the current world, for example, everything in Peach Blossom Spring is truly good and beautiful, devoid of any falsehoods, ugliness, and evil.

Also, Time Sins were typically ancient cultivation sites and contained many inheritances.

According to the information Wang Zijia saw, Time Sin was massively produced in a certain stage of the Shen Hong Realm due to some reasons.
