Chapter 803: Chapter 673: Scared! [Seeking Monthly Ticket, Seeking Subscription]

"Don’t make a sound, just watch."

Yao Wenxuan was about to speak up to intervene when Old Ghost Tong in his mind beat him to it, fully concentrating on Wang Zijia’s actions.

What Yao Wenxuan saw was an exchange between two idiots, but from Old Ghost Tong’s perspective, it was a communication between two old monsters with absolute confidence in their own methods, each believing they held the upper hand.

It was essentially an attitude of, "I know you have something up your sleeve, but that’s okay. As long as you dare to come at me, your tricks will likely be useless."

In the end, Yao Wenxuan just opened his mouth but then followed suit and simply watched.

······

Wang Zijia went to the altar, squatted down, and pressed her hand on the center of the small altar. Her scarlet mana quickly spread, infecting the small white bone altar, and gradually extended downwards.

Just as the old man had said, the core of this altar was meant for internal use and didn’t have strong resistance externally, at least for someone with the cultivation level of Wang Zijia, who could barely infiltrate it with all her might.

This was a common weakness, or rather a characteristic, of many seals!

As the scarlet mana spread, the eerie silence around them deepened, and the elder struggled to contain his excitement.

"Hmph!"

At a certain moment, Wang Zijia felt she had penetrated something. Her mana carried her senses into a narrow, oppressive, and pitch-black space, much like a coffin.

However, before Wang Zijia could extend her senses to understand the exact situation below,

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, endless resentment and madness used Wang Zijia’s mana as a bridge, following the path directly into her body.

The ferocity of the assault seemed like it might overwhelm her, turning Wang Zijia into a bridge connecting the inside and outside, a channel for the resentment to escape!

But a prepared Wang Zijia had entered the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge before these things could impact her.

At the same time, the jade disc in her palm that sealed the altar also flashed brightly, with its sentient intelligence on standby, ready to activate at any moment to prevent any mishap.

······

Within the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge, under the illumination of the Golden Balance, a weight swiftly formed.

Weight: Heaven and Earth Resentment

Status: Undergoing pollution and erosion

Level: None

Value: 3.51 million

Description: One of the fundamental Great Daos of Heavenly Dao monks. Due to rearing a world, it has bred endless resentment, far too ferocious. Ancient cultivators dreaded its power, and to prevent its death from scattering resentment across the world and polluting the entire Shen Hong, they could do nothing but seal it away, hoping it would slowly erode over time.

Originally sealed and fully restricted, making it difficult for it to seep out, yet there was a foolish youth who, using his mana as a guide and his body as a bridge, had constructed a pathway for resentment.

Young man, what skill is there in contaminating mana? If you have real courage, send down your divine thought and build a soul bridge for the opponent, and have a splendid struggle of seizure with the remnant souls of a foreign world’s Heavenly Dao. It would be truly spectacular!

······

Wang Zijia’s phantom weight visibly expanded before his eyes.

It was easy to imagine how frantically the other party was infusing resentment into his body.

Clearly, the old man wanted to send out as much resentment as possible and then erode the seal from the outside to break it.

As for Wang Zijia’s life and death, he was unconcerned.

As for why not send out mana or something, firstly, it was questionable if he could, and secondly, if he even had any!

His being sealed like this indicated a thorough defeat in the past. If it weren’t for his unique Dao Consistency, those who sealed him would have been afraid that this ’stench bomb’ might explode, affecting Shen Hong’s ’ecological’ environment, and he would probably be long gone.

So, what was sealed at this moment had probably not even a remnant soul left; his Dao Body and Dao Soul had been scattered to the winds by others long ago!

What remained was only endless resentment!

In other words, this guy was essentially a resentment creature, an unusual extraterritorial resentful spirit?

"Value +3.78 million!"

Wang Zijia decisively redeemed it, yet the weight did not disappear. It shrunk only to grow quickly once more.

Wang Zijia was visibly delighted. It had originally been an attempt, hoping to plant a devil in the opponent, yet he gladly accepted the unexpected windfall before him.

Like someone stunned by resentment, he remained motionless, maintaining his current state, as the elder frantically stuffed various resentments into Wang Zijia’s body.

"Value +3.98 million!"

"Value +4.36 million!"

"······"

Initially, Yao Wenxuan, who was watching from the side, was terrified by the crazy torrent of resentment that suddenly entered Wang Zijia’s body.

But as the resentment fluctuated, sometimes disappearing and then filling up again, and Wang Zijia’s cultivation visibly grew during this process, he began to relax.

"Resentment can also increase cultivation?" Yao Wenxuan asked, dumbstruck.

"Theoretically, it’s possible, especially if one swallows a complete path. In theory, all things in the world can be consumed," Old Ghost Tong said, his voice unusually tinged with doubt, as he too had not understood how Wang Zijia had managed it.

Nevertheless, Wang Zijia’s commotion continued. As the resentment rose and fell, his cultivation truly grew visibly to the eye.

"Value +1 billion!"

Dao cultivation: Five thousand years (60 billion/60 billion)

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Zijia had gained a billion in cultivation, reaching the limit of the Middle Stage of Crossing Tribulation.

In an instant, with barely any hindrance, Wang Zijia’s aura fluctuated as he rapidly broke through to the late Tribulation Crossing stage.

Yao Wenxuan watched, bewildered and stunned.

His breakthrough was random enough, yet it turned out the person in front of him was even more casual about it, and had succeeded in the breakthrough amidst the erosion of resentment...

Incredible!

And as Wang Zijia broke through, the endless resentment suddenly vanished.

"Ah, elder, why have you stopped?" Wang Zijia asked as such.

The elder, who had been shaking with excitement, had now calmed down. Realizing that he might have underestimated Wang Zijia, he fell silent for a moment before saying:

"How did you manage that? Although the resentment I sent wasn’t much, it should have overwhelmed someone of your cultivation level a long time ago."

"What are you talking about, elder? Are you referring to the resentment you ’gifted’ me? It’s great cultivation resources, you know! It’s all the rage outside now! Are you not trying to help me improve my cultivation?"

Wang Zijia continued, seemingly oblivious as before.

Watching Wang Zijia, confidently and playfully unaware, Yao Wenxuan almost laughed out loud.

’Has the cultivation world of Shen Hong really changed like this? Could it be those old guys came up with this to prevent me from escaping?’ the elder thought somewhat crazily.

Of course, he also realized that Wang Zijia might be tricking him.

But if that were true, it implied too much; he couldn’t allow himself to think in that direction. After all, if the other party was truly so confident, his chance to escape...

"Is that so? Then hurry up and let me out. I won’t mention anything else, but rest assured there’s plenty of resentment. Back then, I gathered cycles’ worth of resentment from a region of the world!"

The elder collected his thoughts and attempted to tempt him again.

"Hmm, yes, sure, elder. You let me keep some insurance, and I’ll let you out," Wang Zijia agreed readily. "It’s simple. See the crystal sand I sent in? Just swallow them, elder."

"Alright!"

As the other party spoke, the next moment, Wang Zijia actually felt a target that could be infected.

’What the heck, it actually worked?’

Delighted, Wang Zijia didn’t care about anything else and decisively began the erosion.

The expected resistance and backlash were entirely absent, and almost in the blink of an eye, Wang Zijia had completed the erosion.

Status: Resentful Spirits Body (Differentiated Body).

Dao Consistency: Resentful Soul Path, the rest shattered.

Available Value: 50,000.

Resentful Spirits Body: Due to the Dao Body, Dao Consistency, and Dao Soul all being shattered by others, but since the target had reached the Saint Realm and merged with the Heavenly Dao, achieving Dao-level life, the Dao persists, and the person does not perish. Therefore, as long as a trace of power exists, it can survive.

Due to special reasons, the other party has left behind countless resentments. After all other forces were annihilated, the only option was to become a gathering of resentment, taking shape as an aggregated resentful spirit, able to freely differentiate into thousands.

Note: This is just a strand of differentiated resentment.

...

Having seen the specific information, Wang Zijia felt disappointed; it was clearly just a worthless avatar, a false hope.

Before Wang Zijia could react further, the old guy inside exploded.

"This is... Power of Chaos Dao Fruit, damn it, you’re from the Zhang Family!"

"You damn locusts still aren’t giving up. After all these years, you still want to devour my world. Dream on!"

"Even if you lock me up for ten more eras, there’s no way!"

"I curse you, may every last one of the Zhang family not die a good death!"

"I curse your Great Dao to break, and your entire family to die out..."

"..."

In his dumbstruck state, Wang Zijia listened as the other party cursed explosively.

Wang Zijia’s mana was directly squeezed out of the narrow space by the other party, who even erected a defense from the inside, cutting off Wang Zijia’s ability to extend his power back in.

Meanwhile, outside the altar, the phantom of the elder’s resentful spirit completely lost its mind, cursing and roaring at Wang Zijia nonstop.

Due to extreme agitation and too little remaining power, the already faint phantom started fluctuating rapidly.

"Pop!"

Eventually, with a soft sound, the phantom burst outright.

All the other party’s power shrunk back, not coming out again.

At this moment, the seal in front of him was completely isolated, both inside and out, forming a perfect encapsulation.

It was as if they were saying, "Either open the seal for me, or don’t bother me," completely rejecting to communicate any further.

Actively helping to isolate the seal from the inside and out—sure, why not!

Wang Zijia: "..."

Yao Wenxuan: "..."

Yao Wenxuan, who had been watching the entire process, suddenly felt panicked.

’Old Ghost, what is this Zhang family that could scare someone like this?’

"The Patriarch of Dao Court was surnamed Zhang; back then, it was the Zhang family that led the war in the Ten Thousand Realms, annihilating the Multi-Heavens," Old Ghost Tong said, his tone a mixture of sadness, confusion, and nostalgia.

He seemed to recall many past events.

"Our Ancestor owed a debt of gratitude to the Zhang family, which allowed us to rise and eventually join the Dao Court, taking control of the Three Life Pool."

"Wait, doesn’t that mean the Immortal Venerate is..." Yao Wenxuan said in surprise.
