Chapter 759: Chapter 640: Bone Whistle: Devilish Thoughts of Bodhisattva

"Ack!"

The enemy spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly wilted.

"Wait, there’s been a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I didn’t realize you are a fellow daoist from Shangqing Sword Sect, truly a misunderstanding!"

However, Wang Zijia kept a cold face and had no intention of further conversation with him. His entire body’s mana surged violently, poised to strike again.

The figure cloaked in black fog bit his teeth and, without hesitation, spewed out a mouthful of vital blood, grabbed his shattered arm, and transformed into a blood-colored streamer shooting through the air.

Surprisingly, his target was not to escape far away, but a nearby skeleton soldier.

If he were trying to flee far away, Wang Zijia had faith that he could catch up, even if it were a blood escape, and it would just take a bit longer.

However, a tribulation-crossing cultivator’s self-inflicted blood escape technique was hardly slower than spatial blink in a short distance. It was terrifying given the power of vital blood and the dao body used for the blood escape.

Thus, in a flash, the blood light collided with the nearby skeleton and disappeared along with it.

Obviously, he had entered the round.

Wang Zijia paused his assault.

This was also why he, and for that matter everyone currently in the Secret Realm of the Mysterious Domain, hunted the chess pieces themselves rather than trying to steal them.

Because it was simply not easy to steal.

This turn-based system characteristic, where one’s turn had no time limit and could be delayed indefinitely if you chose not to make a move, was destined to be a superb shelter.

It was also destined that not much could be easily stolen here.

Only surprise attacks would work. Otherwise, it was better to forget the idea of retaining people or stealing anything.

Therefore, although many great cultivators from both, the righteous and the demon path, had already entered and lingered for over two months, they hadn’t yet descended into a grand melee because it wasn’t easy to instigate a fight!

Wang Zijia glanced at the spot where his opponent had disappeared, beckoned with his hand to collect blood pearls that fell into the void, then turned away without bothering to look at the corpse, heading towards another skeleton.

After entering the round again, Wang Zijia began to test his previous speculation.

[Detect special chess piece stealth: Every five rounds, you can use the stealth chess to skip this round of being attacked and proceed directly to the next attack phase.]

’So it is indeed like this. The power of an immortal, the power of divine abilities, has a special effect here, equivalent to a special chess piece.’

Not only Spatial-Temporal Stealth, Faux Spirit Borrow Way also had a special effect. Summoning: Can additionally summon one chess piece every round!

’Wait, so that means, this crystal is either an Immortal grade treasure or a treasure related to divine abilities?’

Wang Zijia looked at the twin crystal he obtained earlier, his eyes flashing!

In this Mysterious Domain, anything that could become a special chess piece seemed to be an enormous treasure!

Having made such a discovery, Wang Zijia no longer performed a sweeping push. He largely ignored the skeletons with the aura of infant gods and primordial spirits and began to specifically search for different skeleton soldiers.

He specifically sought out skeletons that were either crossing tribulation or felt peculiar for hunting.

Even having made so many special chess piece discoveries, Wang Zijia no longer avoided turbid immortal chess pieces and began to hunt them.

However, Wang Zijia took the special chess pieces too lightly, or should one say, getting a seven-rank treasure couldn’t be that easy.

Afterwards, Wang Zijia, by using the special chess piece rules: Twin, Betrayal, Privilege, etc., could quickly complete the hunting of tribulation-crossing skeletons. Even the turbid immortal duels were not tough.

However, although he obtained many broken treasures, skeleton dao soldier puppets, apart from the ’Twin’ crystal core, Wang Zijia didn’t find any other polyhedral crystal cores, including those in the corpse of the hunted turbid immortal.

...

Time flew by as Wang Zijia concentrated on his hunt.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Throughout the Secret Realm, people kept pouring in.

Looking up at the sky, from time to time, some cultivators could be seen wandering around, occasionally colliding with a skeleton and then vanishing.

Looking around, infant gods formed the base, primordial spirits gathered in crowds, crossing tribulation ones were not rare, dozens of turbid immortals could be spotted, but not one proper earth immortal could be seen.

Wang Zijia felt that all the high-level cultivators of East Wilderness seemed to quickly gather in this Secret Realm, which wasn’t too big or small nor mysterious.

Many sects’ high-level staff had come out and started to gather resources, formulating chess pieces together. It was obvious that they were eyeing the dozen odd immortal grade treasures.

Under such circumstances, the first to arrive, a group of demonic sect disciples from Heavenly Corpse Demonic Sect, who had hovered here for more than two months, finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

After all, they couldn’t let this continue, as immortals from Central Immortal Domain coming over seemed inevitable.

This group of Heavenly Corpse Demonic Sect disciples, having collected all the chess pieces their numerous disciples had searched over two months, handed them to their leading turbid immortal demon daoist, Corpse Gu, and initiated the first immortal chess match in the whole Mysterious Domain.

The whole sky was filled with skeletons resembling a sea, but there were just a dozen or so at the immortal level. All were huge in size, visible at a glance.

No one knew when the Heavenly Corpse Demonic Sect disciples were making their secret plans.

However, the moment they began to act, along with a demon lord corpse and its surrounded group of skeletons disappearing, cultivators all over the Mysterious Domain were alarmed immediately.

Many turbid immortals gave up on further searching immediately and surrounded the spot where they disappeared, waiting there.

Corpse Gu chose to play chess with a demon lord, a mummified demon lord, accompanied by a group of mummies.

If Wang Zijia remembered correctly, this should’ve been that demon lord whose whole body reeked of the nauseating stench of death and pay flowing everywhere.

Obviously, Corpse Gu, the demon daoist, had a specific purpose. The treasures he might receive from this demon lord would all be extremely useful to him, maybe even providing a chance to ascend to immortality again.

As this change took place, the atmosphere in the entire Mysterious Domain became eerie. The God Monarchs accelerated their hunts, while the Turbid Immortals began to grow distracted, waiting for the first person to discover the specific outcome.

Wang Zijia paid attention to the changes while continuing to hunt the Skeletons to replenish the Bone Whistle’s power.

"Huh?"

Suddenly Wang Zijia’s mind stirred, and in the next moment, a long sword was transformed into streaming light, shooting out.

It crossed a long distance and flew towards a Taoist who had just emerged from a duel, missing half of his body, his wound had just stabilized.

It was the same Taoist who had tried to steal from Wang Zijia earlier!

"Damn it"

The man appeared with full alertness. Since it was impossible to hide after coming out of a duel, he was highly cautious about coming out, discovering that Wang Zijia was indeed waiting after the duel.

Without any hesitation, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood. Before the sword light arrived, it turned into blood light, colliding with another Infant God Skeleton, entering another round of duel, with no more movement.

It seemed that this time, he didn’t plan to come out for a long time.

Perhaps his life was more important than opportunity.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia didn’t give him much attention, this man’s fate was probably determined from the moment he got the man’s blood.

After startling the opponent into hiding again, Wang Zijia continued his hunting spree.

After about half a day, Wang Zijia, using another set of special permissions, combined with the Leather Instrument, quickly took care of another Turbid Immortal Skeleton, and then fed the Taoist soldiers to the Bone Whistle.

After devouring countless Skeleton Taoist Soldiers, the Bone Whistle finally glowed brilliantly, emitting a strange Immortal Spirit Halo.

Item: Desire Demon Body

Level: Seventh Grade

Category: Special Bone Instrument (Talisman Weapon)

Remaining Use Count: once

Description: In ancient times, there were Buddhas who annihilated human desires, purified the six senses, cut emotional ties, and became enlightened.

However, the monks of the Three Realms Temple, with their pure and holy Buddha Body, were the perfect resources for the disciples of the Desire Bone Demon Sect to use to cross the emotional tribulations when they became demons.

Therefore, the disciples of the Desire Bone Demon Sect who were crossing the tribulation were fond of luring their disciples into the mortal world. Many disciples of the Three Realms Temple, both men and women, had enjoyed this boundless blessing.

Some monks preached Dharma and were trapped by desire, eventually falling into the mortal world. But the disciples of the Desire Bone Demon Sect also failed to pass the emotional tribulation and likewise fell into the river of love. They turned the Dharma-preaching monks into devil monks, accompanying them day and night.

After countless days and nights, the monk who preached Dharma never lost a bit of his Spirit Wisdom. After an endless desire, when he became a wise man, he broke through the Great Dao, cut off emotional ties, and ultimately achieved the rank of Bodhisattva.

However, being immersed in desire for too long, the devil thoughts were so deep in him, and being entangled with the devil woman every day, made it hard for him to break away even after becoming a Buddha.

Therefore, at his enlightenment, he turned the thoughts of the devil woman and devil monk into instruments, creating the Desire Demon Body, to serve as assistance.

...

Looking at the Bone Whistle, feeling its might, this was a bona fide Seventh Grade Talisman!

And it was summoning type!

The being summoned was a genuine Earth Immortal creature, only that it was probably a devil monk, that is, the devil thoughts of a Bodhisattva. Well, it may even come with a devil woman.

Because of uncertainty about whether the opponent had intelligence and whether he would be backstabbed.

Using this last opportunity here to try to challenge the Immortal in chess was the best choice.

No matter whether the devil thoughts broke free or collapsed after using it up, the chess game should not cause any waves, right?

After pondering for a moment, Wang Zijia did not take immediate action, but started to find Immortal Skeletons to play chess with.

He needed to watch and wait for the demonic Gu of the Heavenly Corpse Demonic Sect, and to see the result of his path scouting.

So Wang Zijia continued to hunt Skeletons while paying attention to the situation in the sky.

After the Bone Whistle was replenished to the Seventh Grade, it could not continue feeding skeleton soldiers to enhance its power. Wang Zijia was not discouraged, and stored the remaining Skeleton Dao Soldiers.

...

Another half day quickly passed, and more than a day elapsed since the demonic Gu began its chess match.

Almost everyone with some cultivation, was paying half attention to the situation there.

Wang Zijia even slowed down his hunting pace, waiting for a while, finding a sufficiently strong target before hunting, coming out and then waiting again.

Meanwhile, a constant stream of God Monarchs continued to arrive from outside.

However, those crossing the tribulation and the Turbid Immortals started to become fewer, and the coming levels became ever lower, mostly comprised of Primordial Spirits and Infant Gods.

Obviously, after a few days of the Mysterious Domain’s mutation brewing, the news had spread throughout the East Wilderness, and the high-level figures were almost all gathered here.

So, it should not be long before the Immortals from the Central Immortal Domain arrived. Even with the issue of cross-domain message transmission, it should happen soon.

This made Wang Zijia slightly anxious, but he still did not act rashly.

...

At a certain point, the atmosphere in the sky of the Mysterious Domain suddenly changed.

A mummy-like Demon Lord, bringing a bunch of slightly damaged minions, abruptly emerged from where it was originally.
