Chapter 503 - 449: Sudden: The Infant God Who Voluntarily Got Demon Seeded

Chapter 503: Chapter 449: Sudden: The Infant God Who Voluntarily Got Demon Seeded

After a long time, most of the issues had been discussed, leaving only the final problem unresolved.

"The Ancestor Master mentioned it was according to the request of the God Monarch that he headed out to establish the sect, and there was also a Perfected Uncle Master sitting in town, then absolutely we must not let down Ancestor Master’s reputation, so... who will lead the team this time?"

As this question was asked, everyone fell silent.

This was not only the first time that the Demon Suppression Sect was establishing a sub-sect, but it also touched on points of diplomatic importance, given the reputation of the Ancestor Master.

It could be said that this was the greatest matter since the establishment of the Demon Suppression Sect.

Everyone was aware of the heaviness of the responsibility involved in this matter and that they absolutely could not tolerate any errors!

After a moment’s silence, Liang Cheng, who was just nine years old, glanced at the quiet crowd and, with a mature demeanor beyond his years, said, "I’ll go."

"No!

"Impossible!"

Nearly at the same time as his voice sounded, several voices rose protest, causing Liang Cheng’s brow to furrow slightly.

"In terms of cultivation, I’ve reached the peak of Child level and have achieved Great Mastery in seven spells. In at most half a year, I can contemplate the ceremony for advancement to Sacrificial Wine, and I am the head of our sect. As for talent, apart from that newly received top-grade spiritual root, no one can compare."

"I know you think it’s inappropriate because I’m too young. But it’s precisely because of my age that I’m an excellent fit."

"Because if I go, it’s an unconventional show of strength. If you go, what does it say? That the huge Demon Suppression Sect can’t even send a Sacrificial Wine to lead the team, what will the Perfected Uncle Master think of us?"

"But my age coupled with my cultivation and talent, even in Wanyu, are considered top-rank. Moreover, I am a recognized disciple of the master, meaning something else entirely."

"When my Uncle Master there sees it, he will surely treat us with caution. But if you go, it will either seem like we aren’t taking it seriously, or that the Demon Suppression Sect’s standing isn’t up to par."

The crowd fell silent upon hearing this, unsure of how to refute him, even though they had become accustomed to Liang Cheng’s maturity beyond his years.

"Fine then, I’ll accompany junior brother. With our status, talent, and abilities leading the team, it seems likely that we won’t let the Master lose face!" Feng Haonan proposed after considering the situation.

After that, no one protested. After all, letting a nine-year-old child lead the team was hard to accept, and it had nothing to do with the maturity of his mental state.

This reaction caused Liang Cheng to pout in dissatisfaction.

The chubby and immature Liang Cheng, who was only just shedding his baby fat, appeared rather cute, displaying a stark contrast between his childish appearance and mature demeanor.

The precociousness from his top-grade spiritual root, along with the reincarnated memories brought on by the specific Mind Path cultivation method, had already given him the heart of an adult.

He was greatly dissatisfied that everyone kept treating him like a child when he inwardly considered himself to be at the same level as the Thunder Emperor!!

The crowd was silent for a moment before Feng Haonan finally decided: "Let’s settle on this then!"

"Okay!"

"Good!"

······

On top of the Star-picking Tower in the Qintian Observatory of the Chengde Dynasty, Wang Zijia slowly opened his eyes.

After pondering over various matters concerning the Demon Suppression Sect, he nodded in satisfaction.

He had not wasted his extensive efforts in construction; it was now sufficiently operational. It was even more useful than the Jade Talisman Pulse even though it was still not yet properly functional.

However... being able to collect polluted demonic beings while simultaneously defending a territory thus ensuring peace in a land was already an immense merit!

This point, anyone who came could not deny.

Being able to do these things was more than enough!

At this moment, it was already evening, and Wang Zijia hadn’t been to the Market Square for ten days.

Because being outside the Protecting Sect Array yet still able to connect to the sect’s related illusions, including the Immortal God Illusion, required special instruments of spirit artifact level, similar to a ’satellite phone.’

That of a worthless piece of equipment had a mediocre effect, yet cost a few hundred thousand.

Before he left, Wang Zijia was so poor that he was almost licking ashes, so where could he find the spare money to buy such worthless items.

However, this was not a problem for Wang Zijia. He sat in his room, a blood-red book appeared, an Infant God of three-inch size holding the book entered into the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge.

In the next moment, Wang Zijia arrived at the White Peach Peak Underground Base, in the chaotic sea of knowledge of an awakened spirit anchor artifact.

The Infant God False Divinity Chapter started. The artifact expanded, a human skin covering it.

With the help of the two Red Copper Weights, an anchor artifact instantly transformed into Wang Zijia!

After checking himself out for a moment, Wang Zijia nodded in satisfaction. The book flickered in the palm of his hand as he took out his identity card and entered the Immortal God Illusion.

······

On the square of the Immortal God Illusion, it had seemed extremely lively these couple of days, with a large number of people gathering.

Wang Zijia first toured around the street stalls. After not finding any real gains, he finally entered the inner circle.

"Isn’t the situation in the north getting worse?"

"Is that even worth mentioning? These past few days, both the inner and outer sect task hall have been filled with disaster relief tasks, you can just imagine how severe the situation is."

"Those damned little monsters! Bullying ordinary people counts for nothing!"

"This is nothing, it’s not even the orthodox devil cultivators from the Bone Soul Sect making a move yet, all these are just heterodoxes stirring things up."

"Now that you know it’s serious, but just a few days ago weren’t saying something about not wanting to be sequestered in a Sect?!"

"Brother Liu, that’s just unnecessary!"

"Alright, alright, I just think we really shouldn’t fight, it’s harmful to both us and those on the lower levels... forget it, I’m still going to accept relief tasks tomorrow!"

"What is this ’shouldn’t fight’? Cultivation is the cultivation of the heart, being all bottled up like a tortoise, what kind of way is that to cultivate?!"

"Exactly! Isn’t it just about exorcising demons and relieving disasters? I’ve already completed three tasks, and I’d still support taking action if there’s more!"

"Carrying on like this isn’t a solution, destruction can’t keep up with construction."

"No problem, I heard our master say that our sect is already forming a defense line, guaranteeing that these little monsters have no return."

"How about we also go and take a shot at it? Let’s display a glorious rainbow and shine the sword across the Nine Provinces, striking directly at the demon lair?"

"Won’t that be a bit too risky?"

"Afraid my ass! Before we set out, we’ll ask Uncle Master of Lingyu to give us two teleportation talismans. As long as we’re cautious, there should be no problem."

"Yeah, these heterodox daoists can only behave like rabbits running amok in our territory, surely we can’t be weaker than these trash?"

"I think we should be more cautious. You’ve only seen the ones running amok, but do you know how many heterodox daoists the Elder’s Hall has dealt with in the past ten days?"

"Brother Liu, why are you always so pessimistic!"

"All I’m trying to say is, when we intercept, we might catch thirty percent of a hundred heterodox daoists while seventy percent of them will run riot. Those who run amok are the ones you see. But once you infiltrate Devil Gate, you might unintentionally become part of that thirty percent."

"Have you noticed during your mission that there are a lot more demonic beings in the surrounding wilderness?"

"..."

When Wang Zijia came to the gathering, he heard the familiar discussions. Most of them were about the recent battle situation in the north.

Wang Zijia joined in and learned quite a lot about the situation.

For instance, the Elders’ Hall had summoned several Space Taoist masters to form a God Monarch defense line.

And also, in the Outer Sect branches, a lot of deep-cover spies were taking action non-stop these few days, trying to get close to the Channel Stabilizing buildings to destroy the Array Foundation. It seems like the Bone Soul Sect had made its move, wanting to give Wanyu a hard time as Wanyu had once done to them.

And so on...

With every news, Wang Zijia felt a sudden shock in his heart and was somewhat glad that he’d left the sect in advance.

After hanging around for two sessions during the subsequent trading session, Wang Zijia habitually asked about the Infant God spiritual object, but still got nothing.

After the Immortal God Illusion ended, Wang Zijia left the White Peach Peak Underground Base and returned to his own body.

Immediately after that, he went ahead to the Ghost Market and checked out various stalls.

The Ghost Market was clearly bustling, and the number of people trading and selling goods had increased.

There were noticeably more stalls run by heterodox daoists who were previously unwilling to spend money on opening a stall. Many of them were dealing with ’bloody’ items, resulting in a continuous rise in prices of life-saving utensils and Wang Zijia sensed a business opportunity.

However, he didn’t have much spare time to create Infant God Jade Talismans to sell for money.

He’d consider that once he reached the enclave and got settled.

Just after wandering around for just a little while, Wang Zijia suddenly froze and a strange sensation hit him.

Without a second thought, Wang Zijia immediately exited the Ghost Market.

...

Within the Great Hall of the Star-picking Tower in Chengde Dynasty, Wang Zijia opened his eyes again.

This peculiar sensation became increasingly clear, as though it was related to the Seeding of Demons, and it was passive Demon Seeding!!!

As of now, Wang Zijia’s Demon Seeding techniques were roughly divided into three types, the first is to condense the Demon Seeding spiritual light and actively seed others with demons.

This method is the most straightforward, but also the crudest.

Those being seeded with demons who have a cultivation level that isn’t too different from that of Wang Zijia would faintly sense something amiss, and the greater the difference in their cultivation level from that of Wang Zijia, the easier it is for them to sense this oddity.

Besides active Demon Seeding, there are two types of passive Demon Seeding.

One is condensing a false Dao Jade Disc to help others condense their Dao foundation, this process is equivalent to the opponent willingly offering up their core strength for Wang Zijia to infect, enabling him to carry out Demon Seeding without a trace.

The other method has only recently been developed and is still in the experimental phase: Inheritance Demon Seeding.

In other words, the inheritance magical tools and secret books which Wang Zijia condenses, have a similar effect to the Jade Disc. When a person learns a skill, the spell runes carrying the Demon Seeding power can quietly infect the person, resulting in Demon Seeding.

And now, the incessant unease that Wang Zijia felt was coming from the passive Demon Seeding by the Jade Disc.

Within the Wanyu Sect, he had only given out two Jade Discs.

"Is Gu Yuebai starting his breakthrough to Infant God again? I thought he said he’d wait for another two months," Wang Zijia sensed that vague presence being actively infected by him, as if trying to sacrifice and refine the Jade Disc of Dao Law. That was the feeling he got.

Immediately after, Wang Zijia felt slightly disoriented.

Endless chaos filled both his eyes, and Wang Zijia’s vision quickly ascended within this chaos.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zijia once again saw that extremely important view.

In the midst of infinite chaos, countless light spots and light orbs were sinking and floating. Some were blood-red, others were transparent.

Before Wang Zijia could figure out what was happening or why such a view had suddenly unfolded...

He blinked, and found his view was rapidly descending.

A light orb quickly grew larger in Wang Zijia’s eyes as if... as if he was about to crash into it!

What the hell is happening!

A hint of change appeared on Wang Zijia’s face, and the scene of Yue Changqing being Demon Seeded spontaneously surfaced in his mind.

Could this be an Infant God???!!!

"Phew!"
