Chapter 687: Chapter 586 Spirit Pavilion, the Mysterious Domain of a Bizarre Building!

Upon glancing at the other battleground, the impact of the Frost Storm killed all of the disciples who were with the deputy leader, breaking the formation.

However, him being in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit, against the frantic attack of the Five Ghosts Formation, was already exhausted. Defeat was only a matter of time.

So Wang Zijia did not immediately come to his aid, but instead took a moment to catch his breath, relentlessly strategizing.

The Infant God had been burned, and it hurt quite a bit.

For an ordinary monk, it was almost considered a vital injury, which might not be cured in hundreds of years. A normal person would never dare to fight like this.

After all, the main attribute of the Great Cultivator in the Primordial spirit was the birth of the Magic Origin, the attack contained various tricky powers, which were very difficult to handle once damaged to the core!

······

Soon, the two bodies merged into one, and the burn wounds all over his body gradually disappeared.

A thought crossed Wang Zijia’s mind, and the Illusory Dragon Turtle appeared again, spewing a fierce cold flow towards the other battleground.

The deputy leader, who had been holding on bitterly, suddenly stiffened, and the Five Ghosts rushed up with lightning speed. Within the alternation of ice blades, they directly cut and froze him.

He turned into fragments and fell into the ruins of the destroyed Alchemy Palace below.

Black smoke rose and dissipated into nothing.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia furrowed his brows, feeling the Alchemy Palace master controlled by human skin. The Demon spirit light started to try and erode him.

Just like the previous Alchemy child, as he eroded him, the Alchemy Palace master’s body trembled for a moment and then dispersed.

Even under the cover of human skin, the black smoke was not trapped and disappeared without a trace.

"As expected, these people are not the original people, not even the original corpses!"

The next moment, Wang Zijia saw the ruined Alchemy Palace below visibly return to its original state.

One by one, illusory human figures reappeared, continuing to live inside as if nothing had happened.

But those figures were no longer physical, they were illusory.

They carried on without any idea, looking at their condition, many years later they may become physical again!

Of course, many things were not restored, such as the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the Elixir Gourd and the vengeful spirits in the cabinet where the drugs were stored.

Wang Zijia glanced warily at the Alchemy Palace below, obviously, this Alchemy Palace is just like the ghostly buildings outside, it is also a changing room, and even changed according to the rules.

The only difference was, the building it morphed into was a ’person’, not the interior furnishings!

All the changing buildings in the Mysterious Domain seemed to maintain an indestructible nature, of course, it wasn’t absolutely indestructible, but if the Mysterious Domain wouldn’t break, they would recover.

And it seems they still maintained their original function, when they operated, there was all kind of weird output!

······

The Five Ghosts, wounded all over, flew back to Wang Zijia’s side, also cautiously watching the Alchemy Palace below.

While healing them, Wang Zijia landed back.

Another spatial conversion came, this time Wang Zijia was not thrown into the furnace, instead he was transformed into a Daoist priest, as if he became a member of the building.

He frowned as he searched in the Alchemy Palace, and found quite a few corrupted elixirs.

Obviously, if the output was not collected by him, it would be quickly restored to its original place.

As Wang Zijia combed through it, he dumped everything onto the Five Ghosts.

"Five Ghosts Value +2397!"

Name: Big Baby (Ghost Baby)

Cultivation: Middle Stage of the Primordial Spirit

Dao cultivation: One thousand years (560 million / 1 billion)

······

In the Alchemy Palace, the Five Ghosts combined have scavenged 300 million of pollution value, it was indeed a super harvest.

However, the stuff was really too dirty, Wang Zijia gave it all to the Five Ghosts, eating people and such, forget about it!

Power extraction is one thing, after all, drinking milk and all that falls within normal limits.

But souls and flesh and blood, that is·······

Also, the enhancement of the Five Ghosts now provides more blessings and battle strength than his own body’s enhancement, after all, the Five Ghosts have already advanced to the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit!

After some time, having finished scavenging the Pill Institute, Wang Zijia flew back up, sensed the surroundings a little, chose a direction, and continued towards the core place.

Although the situation at the Alchemy Palace showed to some extent that the Illusion Master might have reached the Tribulation Stage, Wang Zijia had to verify it!

Even if he was not dealing with the Illusion Master, having come all this way, in a situation where he could escape anytime, he had to exhaust the resources of this Mysterious Domain!

······

Perhaps the Alchemy Palace was already located in the core area. Wang Zijia did not fly for long before he found another complex of buildings that looked very ordinary.

It was also a large piece of Chinese white jade pavilion, among numerous buildings, a plaque with flickering sword Qi on a tall tower was clearly visible, still in Chinese.

"Spirit Pavilion"

"Spirit Pavilion? What place is this? It looks like it is given more importance than the Pill Institute?!"

With doubt and caution, Wang Zijia carefully stepped into it.

Moving into the Alchemy Palace, it was different to being directly thrown into the furnace. This time he only felt a faint sensation of peeling scanning over his body, and then he stepped into the Spirit Pavilion without any anomalies, as if the Spirit Pavilion was an ordinary building.

The only abnormality was that the Five Ghosts who followed him disappeared.

"Master, save us!"

"Master, there are ghostly beings wanting to eat the children again!"

"Master, there are bad guys!"

"········"

Without waiting for Wang Zijia to communicate, fearful voices of the Five Ghosts echoed in his mind.

Wang Zijia glanced around, the Spirit Pavilion was deserted, as if no one was there.

Guided by his sense of the Five Ghosts, Wang Zijia quickly walked in and soon arrived in the main pavilion, where the Five Ghosts also were, according to his senses.

As he carefully entered, there weren’t any unexpected changes or attacks as he had imagined.

The entire Great Hall seemed empty. However, the peculiarity was the numerous light orbs floating about the room and overhead.

Inside transparent orbs were chunks of bloody flesh, squirming eyeballs, and pitch-black soul fog, all eerily mysterious.

Upon seeing the orb information, Wang Zijia froze!

Item: Spiritual Roots

Status: Detrimental Mutation

Level: Unknown (Sealed)

Effect: Mutation of spiritual roots can be a stepping stone for cultivation. However, if one starts with this, one can expect their cultivation to be abnormal from the beginning!

Note: Due to the influence of the Mysterious Domain, the Spirit Pavilion has been mutated, giving it a unique ability while maintaining its original function. Anyone possessing spiritual roots, if they do not wish to become a piece of spiritual root, should not enter recklessly.

Staring at the multitude of orbs on the ceiling, Wang Zijia stood dumbstruck in his spot, in five of them, he sensed the presence of the Five Ghosts.

These were five orbs filled with ghost fog, with the Five Ghosts completely encased, just like five intelligent ghostly spiritual roots.

Clearly, the Five Ghosts voluntarily entered the Spirit Pavilion, triggering the peculiar rules of the room, immediately transforming them into spiritual roots and sealing them inside the orbs.

After all, the Five Ghosts could not be entirely considered as living beings.

As for the other orbs... if he wasn’t mistaken, these mutated spiritual roots are most likely derived from the numerous resentful spirits filling the sky!

"Did I unexpectedly avoid the mutation mechanism of this area because I came here in avatar form?"

"Or was it due to some other reason?"

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the Five Ghosts, and sensing that aside from a faint sense of separation previously, he himself was otherwise unaffected, Wang Zijia’s thoughts whirled.

Tense for the entirety, he tentatively reached out to remove an orb.

To Wang Zijia’s surprise, the orb was effortlessly removed, without triggering any defensive mechanisms or counterattacks.

The only downside was that as soon as he removed it, the orb disintegrated.

A squirming chunk of flesh and blood fell into Wang Zijia’s hand.

This was merely the manifested form of the mutated spiritual roots, and not just flesh and blood.

The moment the blob fell into Wang Zijia’s hand, the integration of the spiritual root combined with the highly erosive mutation transformed into extraordinary mutated power, which infiltrated Wang Zijia’s body.

"Value +50,000!"

Without waiting for it to take effect and for Wang Zijia’s infant god and other fundamentals to get infected, the paper figures in his Sea of Consciousness immediately exchanged it.

"It really is a spiritual root, it’s still a spiritual root regardless of how much it mutates!!!"

With joyful surprise, Wang Zijia first removed the Five Ghosts.

"Pop pop!"

The Five Ghosts reappeared, but before they could speak, Wang Zijia banished them from the entire complex, appearing outside the main gate.

Wang Zijia was taken aback.

So this Spirit Pavilion was thoroughly governed by rules of the Mysterious Domain?

Or should he say, all buildings in this Mysterious Domain carry the power of peculiar rules, especially these core buildings?

He gently pacified the Five Ghosts with his thoughts and started removing the spiritual roots again. Instead of absorbing them immediately, he sealed them, but when he was on his third one.

The space vibrated. By the time he reacted, he was already outside the Spirit Pavilion.

Like the Five Ghosts, he was thrown out.

Wang Zijia frowned.

He stepped back in again, and as space rotated, he reappeared at the entrance.

[Inside the Spirit Pavilion, the one with the highest authority could only take three and had to return one to reenter.]

While Wang Zijia remained stunned, these lines of text appeared at the entrance, catching Wang Zijia off guard.

Three to one?

Wang Zijia frowned, flipped his hand to retrieve one of the spiritual roots he had stored earlier, and walked back in holding it.

The space changed, and he once again showed up at the entrance.

"It didn’t work?"

"Could it be?"

Wang Zijia pondered for a moment before suddenly having a flash of insight.

In the next instant, he threw out a book page, and a corpse was thrown out by Wang Zijia.

Unlike the previous case where his ghostly house consumed the corpse promptly, as soon as Wang Zijia threw the corpse in, an inexplicable flowing light undulated, and the corpse’s extraordinariness disappeared in the next moment.

Wang Zijia again successfully entered the interior, whereas the corpse in front of him seemed to have not changed, yet, everything had changed, as it seemed to become an ordinary corpse.

Still in shock, he entered the pavilion to carefully examine the orbs, and after a while, he indeed found a newly formed one.

"Can it truly strip away the spiritual roots?"

"Is there a failure rate?"

"Did the Mortician characteristic change? Or could it be that this Spirit Pavilion is the mutation of the Mortician?"

Having seen the orbs overhead, Wang Zijia for the first time realized the essence of the phrase recorded in the sect: "The Mysterious Domain is both a disaster and an opportunity!"

Even if there was a failure rate, and it was similar to the Mortician’s characteristic, the value of this Spirit Pavilion was incalculable!
