Chapter 752: Chapter 689: Relocation_4

Within the dongfu.

The heterodox incarnation sat cross-legged and suddenly exhaled a stream of pure demon essence.

Hum!

The Mysterious Dark Banner flew out, and upon it, water patterns converged, transforming into the shape of a poisonous flood dragon.

The eyes of this poisonous flood dragon flickered with sharp light, as if it had come to life, emitting the magic power fluctuations of the Returning to Emptiness level.

At this moment, as the dragon’s mouth opened, it devoured the stream of demon essence entirely, and still appeared unsatisfied, twisting its dragon body a bit.

"A sixth-tier Returning to Emptiness treasure."

He sighed, feeling that even controlling the ’Mysterious Dark Banner’ was somewhat strenuous for him currently, so he hurriedly put it away.

"With the aid of my original self, the Mysterious Dark Banner was already of extraordinary material, plus the refinement with most of the materials from the sixth-tier flood dragon’s bones and essence soul, the promotion to the sixth-tier was only natural..."

"The Divine Infant Sword’s promotion should also not present any major problems... When the time comes, possessing a sixth-tier life-bound magical artifact with a fifth-tier body... among Transcendent God cultivators, I suppose I would be unique, right?"

The heterodox incarnation couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

This situation, where a life-bound magical artifact is of a higher tier than the cultivator’s cultivation, is quite peculiar, often occurring among cultivators who have refined a second Nascent Soul or an incarnation.

A life-bound magical artifact is connected to one’s will, and even if it is higher by one tier, it would definitely be easier to control than the Mysterious Dark Banner.

One could say that such cultivators are the true geniuses, possessing the capital to fight above their tier!

Although... the likelihood of success is still mostly slim.

The chasm between Returning to Emptiness and Transcendent God is not something a mere sixth-tier Returning to Emptiness treasure can make up for, but to have the strength to fight an early-stage Returning to Emptiness cultivator, and to have the ability to escape after a defeat, is already the standard of an extremely talented Transcendent God!

But the heterodox incarnation would definitely not do such a thing!

He would only engage in magical battles with cultivators weaker than himself!

After cultivating, the heterodox incarnation left the secluded dongfu and received several Voice Transmission Talismans.

Among them were those from Liu Xu and Fairy Yunxi.

With the backing of the Heavenly Charm Sect, the two of them managed to secure duties managing shops in the market—tasks that provided them with generous compensation and were completely risk-free, which was why so many Transcendent God tribune desired these coveted positions.

Without the support from the Heavenly Charm Sect, it would have been impossible for them to land such great opportunities.

The heterodox incarnation received a standard patrol mission, having already inspected some dangerous zones.

Over the past decades, he had inquired around and found out that the Heavenly Charm Sect had a good reputation. Though only admitting female disciples, there were no rumors of them serving others with their charms. Instead, it was known for its formidable female cultivators, with several fierce leaders joining the Sky Brahman Camp.

Liu Xu and Fairy Yunxi, being talented enough to cultivate to Transcendent God, were certainly not fools. Before making their decisions, they would have surely inquired thoroughly.

Seeing the current situation, the results seemed positive.

As for the heterodox incarnation himself?

As an Ascending Immortal who had cultivated alone to the late stage of Transcendent God, he naturally attracted the interest of various forces for recruitment.

However, he had rejected them all.

After all, with too many secrets of his own, it was really difficult to trust others.

Besides, his cultivation level was also a concern to him.

By now, rumors had gradually spread within the Sky Brahman Camp that his potential was exhausted and his cultivation hadn’t advanced an inch in a hundred years...

To those Transcendent God leaders at the Returning to Emptiness level, the aura of the heterodox incarnation seemed to have stagnated at the early stage of late Transcendent God, his magic power not showing the slightest progress.

The heterodox incarnation had no intention of using the Turtle Breath Skills to hide his cultivation either. If his cultivation was such that even a Returning to Emptiness cultivator could not discern it, it would have been a glaring flaw.

Moreover, with the Sky Brahman Army hiding dragons and crouching tigers, even Great Powers of Integration within, Turtle Breath Skills were not a completely safe bet.

Therefore, he simply revealed his true cultivation level without the slightest concealment.

And others, seeing that there was no minute improvement in his magic power for a century, began to suspect that there was an issue with his cultivation method or that his foundation was damaged.

Forces interested in recruitment placed more value on the potential of Ascending Immortals, and interest waned for those whose potential was deemed exhausted...

The heterodox incarnation was quite content with this and didn’t offer explanations, finding a certain tranquility in the resulting quiet.

...

It was his time of rest.

The heterodox incarnation left the military camp, and his Escape Light changed course.

After flying for a while and confirming that no one was following him, his aura and facial features suddenly changed.

This was in preparation for selling some rare spiritual objects from the Lower Realm in the market, while also purchasing necessary items.

The heterodox incarnation walked into the black market of the Three Yin Mountain with great swagger. His Divine Consciousness swept across briefly, and his expression involuntarily shifted slightly...
