Chapter 768: Chapter 647: Five Ghosts Crossing Tribulation

So, it cleverly utilized the uniqueness of this place, squeezing corpse oil as the first reservable energy source.

The idea was quite ingenious, it’s this oil extraction method that was a bit... not so Immortal Venerate-like, huh!

Why does it feel strangely familiar!

’When I taught him, I never taught him these tricky Heterodox Dao methods, right?’

’It’s not that I’m crooked, it must be this young lad who learned this bad stuff himself while mixing in the Witch Realm for hundreds of years!’

Looking at the turbid soul fog as thick as corpse oil, that’s what Wang Zijia thought.

······

The entire formation style leaned towards the Witch Realm. It wasn’t an expert in array Dao, or understood specific functions. You would subconsciously think it’s a special array for refining the turbid soul fog.’

Apparently, Yue Lai also disguised it.

Just in case.

Wang Zijia studied carefully for a moment, and only managed to confirm that the array was still intact according to his memory. It could still smuggle.

Wang Zijia finally let his heart down.

Though he didn’t want to stay for a moment longer, the earlier he left, the safer he would be—things could change drastically in a foreign world.

But Wang Zijia still did not act immediately.

With a thought, Five Ghosts appeared.

The Five Ghosts, who couldn’t wait to leave his body, were looking at the turbid soul fog at the core of the altar, drooling.

Wang Zijia nodded, and the Five Ghosts couldn’t resist anymore, they dived in.

Although the core pool only seemed to be a meter in radius, with the Five Ghosts entering it, they became as tiny as fleas, submerged in the turbid soul fog.

They joyfully sank, swallowing the turbid soul fog like corpse oil.

The power was violent, the pollution extreme, and even the Five Ghosts who evolved from Wicked Ghosts, were polluted. Fortunately, the Paper Figures monitored their status at all times.

Therefore, they swallowed joyously.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment and finally bit the bullet, unable to resist the temptation of corpse oil, extending numerous silk threads from his body and plunged them into the turbid soul fog below, drawing on its power.

After all... vegetables are irrigated with fecal water, aren’t they still delicious!

Describing this turbid soul fog as corpse oil is not quite accurate. Even though it is indeed the polluted energy extracted from the lost souls, it has been scattered, refined by the earth, concentrated by the array, and there is no difference from vegetables absorbing fertilizers.

At most... it’s a durian, terrible to others, but extraordinarily delicious to oneself.

In his mind, he kept building a similar psychological construction, Wang Zijia started drawing on the power.

For cultivation, there’s no shame!

······

In order to be untraceable, this array was extremely high-end, only extracting the force of the lost souls scattered in the Ghost Marsh, almost like using miasma as raw materials.

As such, the accumulation of the turbid soul fog was extremely slow.

But... it can’t stand its large radiation range and long duration!

The accumulation of tens of millions of years, no matter how slow, is an extravagant amount of energy.

If it was not that this reserve pool prevented the turbid soul fog from accumulating too much, and reversed the pollution to the foundations of the array, setting an energy limit for only a few trips, perhaps there would be more extravagant energy reserves!

Of course, if that were the case, this array might not be preserved.

Not to mention being discovered, operating for so many years, the wear and tear on this array would have been enough to scrap it, let alone facing the reversed pollution of the excessive accumulation of the turbid soul fog.

The amount of reserve energy now is just right!

That’s why his planning was clever, he took the idea of exploiting the world to its extreme!

"Value +1.42 million!"

"Five Ghosts’ value +3.42 million!"

"······"

In the deep below, in front of the empty altar, Wang Zijia sat in meditation, his body’s black silk threads continuously drawing on the power of the turbid soul fog, while the five ghosts the size of grains of rice, swallowed madly inside.

If Big Baby was not half-asleep, he might have joined in too.

Compared to Wang Zijia’s politeness, only absorbing the pollution, the Five Ghosts were much more unrestrained, swallowing heartily, not caring what it was, as long it was edible!

Wang Zijia’s cultivation level slowly advanced, and the Five Ghosts, who were still in the Primordial Spirit stage, visibly grew at an alarming speed.

Half a day later, through the crazy swallowing of the turbid soul fog, the Five Ghosts’ cultivation had reached the peak of the Primordial Spirit.

Normally, they would need a massive accumulation of energy to breakthrough, from quantitative change to qualitative change, it’s a very inefficient process.

But now, they had been entwined so closely with Wang Zijia that they were almost one. Since Wang Zijia had already undergone Crossing Tribulation, their breakthrough from 0 to 1 had a shortcut!

When the Five Ghosts reached their limit, Wang Zijia had a thought.

"Bang bang!"

The Five Ghosts exploded and turned into ghost fog origin forces, entangled with Wang Zijia’s silver-red magic origin. At that moment, the Five Ghosts became a part of Wang Zijia’s magic origin.

Wang Zijia’s magic origin also rose a level, when the two forces merged, the Five Ghosts had effectively reached Crossing Tribulation!

The next moment, the transformed magic origin entered the pool of turbid soul fog again, drew in some of the turbid soul fog.

"Boom!"

Then, the Five Ghosts all underwent a breakthrough from 0 to 1!

Of course, it’s not to say that the Crossing Tribulation was that simple.

Although Wicked Ghosts don’t need spiritual objects to breakthrough, they need to accumulate value to purify their Fate Sin to the corresponding level.

In fact, it’s not much different from the human race.

The Fate Sin of Wicked Ghosts is the bearing that transcends the mortal world, and the Dao Consistency of monks is also the bearing that transcends the mortal world.

The only difference is, one is the purity of bloodline, continuous accumulation, and the other is the intake of external stuff to fill the transcendent.

Name: Big Baby (Ghost Baby)

Cultivation: Crossing Tribulation (Fake)

Sin Source: Pure (1 billion/10 billion)

Dao Cultivation: Two thousand years (20 billion/20 billion)

Affiliation: Evil Ghost God Mutation

Divine Position: Alchemy Furnace

Talent: Ghost Baby Bewitching, Summoned God Child, Molten Rock Guardian, Myriad Transformation Body, Ghost Baby Avatar

······

After reviewing Big Baby’s information, there was still a deficit of 9 billion, before a preliminary breakthrough could be achieved and the Crossing Tribulation stage fully entered.

From five, the total would be over 40 billion.

Wang Zijia looked at the pool below that had been consumed by more than half by them in half a day.

What was left could at best maintain a round trip for the Smuggling Array!

Wang Zijia then glanced at the few skeletal remains in Divine Robes and shook his head.

"Forget it, let’s not run it to the ground. If I harness the power contained in these bones and end up ruining these precious relics, the loss would outweigh the gain!"

He didn’t let the Five Ghosts extract the remaining Turbid Soul Fog, and he himself also stopped the process.

He then checked his own cultivation level.

Cultivation: Early Crossing Tribulation

Dao Cultivation: Three thousand years (25 billion/ 40 billion)

······

A yield of 5 billion was quite substantial, given he was courteous about his consumption and had intentionally left more for the Five Ghosts!

Wang Zijia unexpectedly rose to his feet, withdrew his silk thread and glanced around the vacant Dome. He didn’t linger and promptly activated the array.

He’d been on tenterhooks the whole time, afraid that after the battle he’d be hunted down by some big shot.

The primary reason was, he had what he suspected to be a terrifying heart in his bag!

If it hadn’t been for that, Yun Lai could have stayed here for a few hundred years, and he probably wouldn’t have been easily found.

However, even without the heart, Wang Zijia didn’t wish to linger. Traveling to a Foreign World without Becoming Immortal was simply too reckless. Given a choice, who would willingly do that!

As Wang Zijia activated the array, all the runes of the array lit up, powerful spatial fluctuations emanated, and it rapidly absorbed Turbid Soul Fog.

However, the reaction wasn’t severe, and it was confined within the Dome Space.

The Smuggling Array, Yun Lai had clearly put in quite an effort.

The array’s fluctuations grew stronger, and an extremely dense spherical space barrier appeared around Wang Zijia, encasing him within.

At one moment, a rift opened in the Array.

"Swoosh!"

With a soft sound, Wang Zijia was pulled and disappeared from that location.

As soon as he was gone, everything around quickly dimmed and returned to darkness.

The external array proceeded to run silently, and strands of Soul Fog converged and began to gather strength again. Within the pool, only a shallow layer remained, it was on the brink of being emptied.

Wang Zijia, on the other hand, was plunged into the profound Void, surrounded by boundless, inscrutable darkness that could incite panic in anyone who beheld it.

He was enveloped by light orbs, and under a very strong pull, he tore through the endless Void and quickly advanced in one direction.

Since it took him half a day to get here, the journey back was much faster.

Indeed, the gap between a large train and a small private plane was significant.

Within under two hours, Wang Zijia saw light.

The moment he saw the light, everything before his eyes was replaced by brightness.

"Swoosh!"

Accompanied by a whistling sound, Wang Zijia was ejected from the Void.

After ejecting him, the Void seemed to lighten up a bit, the passage instantly went into Stealth mode and vanished without a trace.

In comparison to the teleportation in the Foreign World, the reception here seemed a lot more subtle.

Looking down, Wang Zijia saw an ordinary Valley. In the valley, a very peculiar variety of spiritual plants grew.

They seemed somewhat similar to jade trees and were extraordinarily resplendent.

These trees were planted according to a peculiar Array Map, with countless Runes twinkling on each tree at the moment.

This side actually had a Live array!

Using these peculiar spiritual plants as the foundation and energy source, injecting runes into them, it was essentially a living smuggling array.

This type of tree possessed an odd power storage capability, obviously it was the energy source for the smuggling Array!

’Wow, what a clever idea. And it’s all reaping without sowing. Yun Lai’s ideas are something...’

’Ah, he is from the End of Dharma Era, in which case it is fine. It’s normal to exploit resources from the world as much as possible, doing otherwise would indeed be strange!’

After a moment of thinking, Wang Zijia flew out of the Valley.

This active array also had a strong stealth capability.

After crossing the Valley and looking back, it was just an ordinary valley.

It wasn’t just an ordinary illusion array, but a Space Embedding!

When Wang Zijia returned, all he saw was an ordinary Valley. There was no trace of any peculiar spiritual plants.

Obviously, a Space was embedded here, that kind with extremely strong concealment capabilities. Without using special means, one couldn’t even enter that concealed layer, let alone detect it.
