Chapter 860: Chapter 716: Waiting for a Rabbit for 7 Years

Having seen off Jiang Mingda and another person, Wang Zijia glanced at the tower in front of him, then paid it no more heed.

The reason he sent Kuang Weiping to West Qiang was that the other party’s demonic cultivation seemed to have already made progress; he was somewhat of a spare piece in Wang Zijia’s game.

He was curious to see, with his own advantages applied, just how far this man-eater of the demon path could go.

Lost in thought, Wang Zijia floated out of the Pagoda Forest. As he was about to leave Demon Suppression Peak, his movement halted.

The next moment, not far in front of him, the void rippled, and two figures, a man and a woman both dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, materialized and bowed respectfully to Wang Zijia.

"We’ve seen the Red Sun Immortal Venerable!"

"We pay our respects to the Red Sun Immortal Venerable!"

Wang Zijia eyed the two and said, "From the Dark Hall?"

"Yes, Immortal Venerable, the disciple is the current hall master of the Dark Hall, Yu Zhuowen," the man replied respectfully.

"The disciple is the deputy hall master of the Dark Hall, He Xiaotian!" the woman replied with equal reverence.

Both were at the peak of their Primordial Spirit cultivation.

Wang Zijia took a moment to observe them and said with surprise, "I had thought that the current hall master would be a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator."

Upon hearing this, the man explained, "The master has been in slumber for one hundred and ninety years. Aside from the two of us, only the Head Teacher Martial Uncle knows about this."

The autonomy of the Sect’s Dark Hall was very high, even to the extent that one could say it was entirely independent of the twelve courtyards.

Especially the high-level members of the Dark Hall, only one Head Teacher could somewhat influence them.

Apart from the Guardian Pavilion System of the Scripture Pavilion, the Dark Hall system is the most independent within the Sect.

And though the Guardian Pavilion System can ignore even the Head Teacher, it must follow a secluded lifestyle. The Dark Hall system, however, can oversee the entire Sect, with a priority even higher than that of the Internal Affairs Hall!

Of course, this refers to the upper echelons; the lower-ranked Dark Guards still serve the various branches of the Sect.

"You’ve come out of the blue, looking for me for some reason?" As information about the Dark Hall flashed through his mind, Wang Zijia, with a playfully amused tone, said, "Surely you’re not here to carve up territory!"

Yu Zhuowen bowed once more before responding, "Immortal Venerable, according to the core rules of the Dark Hall, the capable ascend, and the weak descend."

"You possess a core membership of the Dark Hall, and now that your strength is the strongest in the Dark Hall, according to the rules, I should abdicate and guide you, Immortal Venerable, in taking over the Dark Hall to become the current hall master."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia was stunned and chuckled, shaking his head, "I have no time to take over the affairs of the Dark Hall."

Although he held the position of hall master, he had only undertaken one substantial task.

And due to his subsequent experiences, he hadn’t even come into contact with the core circle of the Dark Hall!

Besides, once the Immortal Alliance is established, he was going to leave the management to Ice Frost. Why would he bother taking over the Dark Hall now?

The pair hesitated, about to say something.

Wang Zijia waved a hand to stop them and said, "The formation of the Immortal Alliance is imminent; do you think I’m suitable to take up the position of some dark hall master within Wanyu?"

After hearing this, they understood Wang Zijia’s intention and fell silent.

"All right, go about your business. I have no time to discuss these issues with you lately, what with all the other matters in the vein that I still haven’t resolved," said Wang Zijia, then floated up and left Demon Suppression Peak to fly towards White Peach Peak.

Yu Zhuowen and the other person exchanged a look and then vanished without a trace.

······

"Master!"

"Vein Leader!"

"······"

When Wang Zijia returned to White Peach Peak, a large group of people seemed to have just come back from the ceremony as well, and they were still excitedly discussing something in front of the White Peach Tower.

Some disciples, upon seeing Wang Zijia, greeted him with excitement.

Wang Zijia glanced over the crowd and said decisively, "If you have any issues, consult with Ice Frost. I’m not free today."

Having said that, he headed towards the White Peach Courtyard. Ever since Ice Frost had started to get the hang of things, he had no desire to deal with the messy affairs of the Jade Talisman vein.

And there was no chance Ice Frost would encounter any problems, even better for delegating authority!

"Vein Leader!" An Xingsheng, upon hearing Wang Zijia, actually followed.

Wang Zijia stopped and turned around, "What is it?"

An Xingsheng nodded and said, "Master, will you continue to hold your preaching classes? Some disciples have been asking about it for a few days. Just now, I was invited to the Welcome Guest Building where that Cross Tribulation Great Cultivator from Daqian personally asked about it."

"This matter is too significant, the disciple couldn’t decide on his own."

Wang Zijia glared at An Xingsheng irritably and said, "You expect me to hold classes in the next few days? Do you want to trample down this Peach Forest or collapse White Peach Peak?"

An Xingsheng bowed his head at the reprimand and quickly said, "I understand, I will go right away ..."

Before An Xingsheng finished speaking, Wang Zijia interrupted him again, "Where are you going? I will definitely lecture intermittently on the Three Inheritance Paths, fundamental Tao Law in the future. Otherwise, why do you think that Tribulation Cultivator would ask you such a question?"

Looking bewildered, An Xingsheng asked, "So will you lecture or not?"

Wang Zijia glanced at him and said, "Of course, I will lecture, but it won’t be like before. I will probably choose to preach throughout the entire Sect. For now, let it go. When I’m ready to preach, I will notify everyone."

This way, he would be able to comfortably cast more anchor points for the Immortal Path ceremony!

An Xingsheng paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."

Without another word, Wang Zijia turned and entered White Peach Courtyard, leaving the excited disciples and Ice Frost to continue their discussions.

Back in the cultivation room, with Lei Ting standing guard outside, Wang Zijia went straight into the Duobao World.

······

In the Duobao World, at the Spirit Vein Mountain Peak of Nanfei Market, Wang Zijia flipped his hand, and a book page flew out and disintegrated.

As the book page disintegrated, a wooden heart emerged.

It can no longer be called a heart now.

Ever since it left Ding Haiping’s body, the heart started to continuously grow white, thread-like woody fibers, and the heart gradually transformed into a fist-sized sphere.

At this moment, the heart in front of Wang Zijia had turned into a ball of fuzz.

Moreover, when Wang Zijia removed it from the sealed state of the book, those thread-like ultrafine fuzzies seemed to come alive, continuously entwining around Wang Zijia’s palm.

The threads appeared to have a life of their own, attempting to burrow into Wang Zijia’s body.

Looking at the sphere in his hand, Wang Zijia allowed a slight fluctuation of his mana and cut off a single thread, letting the Five Ghosts try to devour it first.

After confirming that it wasn’t a Gu Dao parasitism but rather the same kind of magical contamination that had previously occurred in Ding Haiping’s body, Wang Zijia carefully cut off another strand of contamination to allow it to infect himself.

As the contamination entered his body, Wang Zijia clearly felt that it was a very advanced power.

Although extremely weak, its essence was similar to Dao power, definitely a force born from heavenly and earthly spiritual roots.

To be safe, Wang Zijia did not dare to comprehend it in detail. Once he noticed it beginning to infect his flesh, he decisively entered his Sea of Consciousness.

Under the golden light of the Balanced Scale, two Weights were born.

"It really works!"

Looking at one blood-red and one black iron Weight, Wang Zijia revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

He had tested in the past that Weights could not only be divided at will in size but also in concept.

His Demonic Spirit Root of those years was conceptually two parts, the Evil Spirit Root, split into contamination and spiritual root.

After Wang Zijia exchanged the contamination, the Evil Spirit Root lost its invasive properties and mutated into a Demon Seeding talent!

The same was true for this object. After the original source of heavenly and earthly spiritual roots had mutated, it turned into the most pure object of contamination.

But in the concept of the balance, a sin is a sin, and the original source of the spiritual roots is the original source; they are different concepts.

Therefore, the two Weights could be separated and peeled apart.

With his surprise, after exchanging the contamination, Wang Zijia looked at the black iron Weight.

Weight: Mutated original source of heavenly and earthly spiritual roots

Status: Active

Value: 45

Effect: Activation. The original source of heavenly and earthly spiritual roots has mutated and been stripped of special filthy contamination. Most of its original properties disappeared, leaving behind only one unique property that has been strengthened to the extreme.

Note: This is a characteristic very suitable for enlightening, awakening, nurturing Gu, beast control, and other Dao systems, but it is also extremely dangerous.

If you cannot suppress its tendency for bizarre changes, and you don’t want your heart, flesh, and bones to come alive and fight with you or cause a rift, then please use it with caution.

...

Looking at the specific information of this Weight, Wang Zijia, already beaming, became even more pleasantly surprised.

Although he had already had some guesses about its effects based on its contamination properties, Wang Zijia still didn’t expect this.

This object could definitely become one of the most suitable Spiritual Objects for him, adding a strong foundation to his position as an Immortal!!!

With it, Wang Zijia’s chances of consolidating the Supreme Fruit Position increased by one more point!

As for appendages, hearts coming alive and such...

Come on, his human skin had already come to life, would he be afraid of this?

His Dao Body was already tending that way, alright!

As long as he held absolute control over his body and did not let them develop their own consciousness, Wang Zijia, with thousands of divine thoughts, felt that coming alive was better!

This way, his heart could even become friends with his large intestine!

For example, after others had gone to great lengths to grievously injure him, reducing him to pieces.

Brain: Hello, I am Wang Zijia’s brain.

Leg: Hello, I am Wang Zijia’s leg.

Body parts: Congratulations, you have achieved the feat of defeating Wang Zijia one-on-one. Now, it’s time for the siege!

A series of nonsensical thoughts emerged.

Wang Zijia always felt that he was straying further and further on some strange path, on course to leave everyone behind.

Forget it, no matter what path, as long as it’s powerful, it’s a good Dao!

After his thoughts flickered for a long while, Wang Zijia suppressed the somewhat excited ideas and began his daily cultivation.

...

Meanwhile, in Wanyu City, the bridgehead for Wanyu Sect’s interaction with the outside world.

In a cave dwelling that had been rented out for nearly seven years.

At the moment, two people were discussing matters.

Surprisingly, two Tribulation Crossing Cultivators had lived in such an ordinary third-grade cave dwelling for more than six years.

And they had lived a secluded life, unknown to anyone.

The younger Junior Brother said, "Senior Brother, the news can now be confirmed. Nine Tribulations Red Sun, Wang Zijia, has indeed returned, and he even has Immortal techniques. Moreover, he can help others achieve a breakthrough to Immortality. Today’s Thunder Tribulation was caused by him helping their Head Teacher Ding Haiping become an Immortal."

The older Senior Brother exclaimed, "After squatting in this remote corner for seven years, he has finally come back, eh!"
