Unlike the Cowardly Bizarre I'd seen before, this ink-like Bizarre Demon oozed pure, unadulterated malice.

Upon their first encounter, it swiftly charged toward the Insect External Incarnation.

This was a normal Bizarre Demon's move.

"Suppress!"

The Demon Sealing Tower Talisman in his left hand vibrated, bursting forth with Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light.

When facing Bizarre Demons, one could never be too careful.

Before experimenting, he had quietly triggered the Demon Sealing Tower Talisman to guard his side.

Having money meant being willful, not worrying about the consumption of talismans.

Once the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light appeared, the light from the Bronze Strange Gate dimmed, severing the connection with the Bizarre Realm.

The ink-like Bizarre Demon filled with malice couldn't move, obediently shrinking into a ball.

"Let's just call you Malicious Bizarre!" he exclaimed.

The Malicious Bizarre was sent to the Thirty-Third Floor of the Seal Devil Tower, becoming a new 'tenant.'

Finally full!

Bizarre Demons can take the high-quality development path.

I could lower their treatment now, try getting Bizarre Demons to share a room... It'd be best if they could be paired up.

Filling the Thirty-Third Floor of the Demon Sealing Tower was a start, not an end.

After sending the Malicious Bizarre into the Demon Sealing Tower, the Insect External Incarnation put away the Demon Sealing Tower Talisman and began the journey of summoning Bizarre Demons.

The gate closed and opened repeatedly, constantly searching for new anchors in the Bizarre Realm.

Luck seemed to have run out. Even after changing the location of the Bronze Strange Gate over a dozen times, no more Bizarre Demons emerged. Is there a problem? The vastness of the Bizarre Realm was unknown, and the Bronze Strange Gate only influenced a small area, attracting only a limited number of Bizarre Demons each time.

Otherwise, if the Bronze Strange Gate had appeared in Xiaoliang Mountain for a period, it wouldn't have attracted just seven Bizarre Demons.

I can't help feeling like hell is empty and all the devils are here...

Not all Bizarre Demons that saw the Bronze Strange Gate would rush over in a panic.

Many Bizarre Demons ignored the strange gate completely; this method of search relied purely on luck.

If he was lucky enough to find a gathering place for Bizarre Demons that were also interested in the world beyond the Bronze Strange Gate, they would swarm over.

Is there a way to enhance the attraction to Bizarre Demons?

It was like fishing—without bait, who would bite?

If there was something that attracted Bizarre Demons, it would be easier to draw them in.

The Insect External Incarnation thought of the Barren Extreme Land, and the Gathering Bizarre Red Candle the Gathering Stars Trade Association had used to attract the White-dress Lady Bizarre.

In the future, I could inquire at the Town Demon Alliance; I should be able to find such treasures.

A Gathering of Tricks Array?

Setting up a Gathering of Tricks Array to absorb Bizarre Qi might attract Bizarre Demons.

The Bizarre Qi in the Bizarre Realm is far more concentrated than here; I'm afraid it might not have any effect...

Ah, right, the Gathering Oddity Talisman Stone!

The Insect External Incarnation thought of a solution: the Gathering Oddity Talisman Stone.

The Gathering Oddity Talisman Stone was a special talisman stone formed by absorbing Bizarre Qi, meant to replace the peculiar version of Spirit Stones.

Inside the Mountain and Sea Pearl, there was neither nature's spiritual energy nor Bizarre Qi.

To ensure the growth of the Bizarre Objects in the Bizarre Garden, a supply of Bizarre Qi was necessary.

The sole purpose of the Gathering Oddity Talisman Stone was to provide Bizarre Qi within the Mountain and Sea Pearl to sustain growth in the Bizarre Garden.

It was the only source of Bizarre Qi, ensuring that the Mountain and Sea Pearl could cultivate Bizarre Objects smoothly.

Can the Gathering of Tricks Array set with Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones attract Bizarre Demons?

Whether the plan was feasible, I would only know after some trials.

Even if it failed, absorbing Bizarre Qi from the Bizarre Realm to create Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones would still be a profitable deal.

The consumption rate of Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones was extremely fast; the more Bizarre Objects were cultivated, the greater the amount of Bizarre Qi consumed.

The accumulation of Bizarre Qi was slow, producing only about a dozen Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones each year.

The few Gathering of Tricks Arrays outside could not supply enough Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones, and the reserves were dwindling.

I wonder about the concentration of Bizarre Qi in the Mysterious Realm. With so little Bizarre Qi, there may soon be a crisis in producing Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones.

Taking this opportunity to create a large number of Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones also seemed like a good idea.

Jia Ren took out the nineteen remaining Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones, the last of his stock.

"Gathering of Tricks Array!"

I had always used Spirit Stones to set up the Gathering of Tricks Array. This was the first time using Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones to absorb Bizarre Qi—I wonder what the efficiency would be?

Nine Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones were thrown in. A powerful suction force emanated, and visible black streams of air converged within it.

The air temperature plummeted suddenly, turning much colder and gloomier.

The Insect External Incarnation threw blank talisman stones, one after another, into the Gathering of Tricks Array, allowing them to absorb Bizarre Qi.

The colorless talisman stones turned black at a visible speed, becoming increasingly rich with stored Bizarre Qi.

Whereas it used to take a year to produce a few Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones, now, in less than half an hour, nearly ten talisman stones were teeming with Bizarre Qi.

The Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones in the Gathering of Tricks Array didn't consume much Bizarre Qi, easily maintaining it for a day without a problem.

Using this method to accumulate Bizarre Qi and stockpile Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones seemed like a fine option.

The only shortcoming was the lack of Bizarre Demons coming to him on their own.

I have to think of a way to explore the Bizarre Realm and find a solution.

Since the Gathering Oddity Talisman Stones and the Gathering of Tricks Array can't be used for fishing, I'll have to change my approach and find a different way to make contact with Bizarre Demons.

Coincidentally, I was quite interested in intelligence from within the Bizarre Realm.

Neither my true body nor the Insect External Incarnation can enter the Bizarre Realm, but that doesn't mean there are no solutions.

Should I send in Spirit Insects and carefully investigate with the Parasitic Spirit Mark?

This method consumes too much, wasting the Spirit Insects that I have cultivated.

After advancing to the Golden Core Stage, ordinary Spirit Insects couldn't keep up with my development, so I stopped putting effort into raising them and switched to an elite route.

Another tactic is...

"Gather Water Spell!"

A stream of water came under control, flowing through the opened Bronze Strange Gate into the Bizarre Realm.

The Xuan Guang Water Mirror materialized, observing the Bizarre Realm through the water that had entered.

Water poured onto the parched ground, with more streams following, one after another.

The Xuan Guang Water Mirror reflected the world within the Bronze Strange Gate.

This was a world enshrouded in persistent black mists, silent and dead, with darkness cloaking the land.

Does time here correspond to night in the Bizarre Realm?

Or is there only darkness?

Without any light, the Xuan Guang Water Mirror had limited visibility, and what it revealed was hazy and indistinct.

The flowing water moistened the withered trees it passed.

They were unlike normal trees, pitch-black and without light, showing branches but no leaves, the bare limbs looking like they were brandishing claws.

The ground was parched and cracked, with few plant-like beings such as blackwood.

SLURP!

The incoming water was all sucked away by an inexplicable force and flowed into a black, furry ball-like plant.

This was an unknown Bizarre Object, endlessly drawing in the water.

All of the water went into the belly of this thing. What the heck was it? The water flow was intercepted midway, changing direction.

Before long, it was forcibly drawn away again, altering the water's direction of flow.

He confirmed it was only this stationary thing, but the distance was too great to capture it for study.

Time to change the anchor point!

POP!

The Wuding Stormwave closed the Bronze Strange Gate, and the Wicked Flame made it open again, switching to a new position.

Still, no Bizarre Demons appeared, which was frustrating.

The Insect External Incarnation did the same, and the water continued to spread, with the Xuan Guang Water Mirror observing the movements in the Bizarre Realm.

This place was not vastly different from the previous one; the water extended, and in the distance, he saw a huge lump of flesh.

The water flowed by, but the flesh mass had no reaction, showing no intention of moving toward the Bronze Strange Gate.

Let's liven up your life a bit!

The Insect External Incarnation confirmed that the water had touched the flesh mass Bizarre Demon, smiling with ill intent.

Then it took out the Purple Thunder Exorcising Sword; purple lightning danced along it, following the water to the distant flesh mass Bizarre Demon.

SIZZLE!

The Evil Warding Purple Lightning passed through the Bronze Strange Gate, and that Bizarre Demon couldn't endure it.

CRACK!

The Bronze Strange Gate closed instantly, and the fun of electrocuting the flesh mass ended.

I almost forgot about this thing!

"Open it again!"

The Wicked Flame approached, and the Bronze Strange Gate opened once more, changing direction.

The Insect External Incarnation waited for a moment, but no Bizarre Demon emerged.

He took out a hollow Green Bamboo Magical Instrument, set it over the Bronze Strange Gate, ensuring the water could flow through without touching the Bronze Strange Gate.

Under his control, the water gathered by the Gather Water Spell crept towards the Bizarre Realm.

No need to worry about water here...

Looking all around, below the Bronze Strange Gate was a boundless Black Sea.

The sea surface was utterly still, with no sign of life or Bizarre Demons.

The water connected with the Black Sea, and the Insect External Incarnation placed the Purple Thunder Exorcising Sword into the water, infusing it with Evil Warding Purple Lightning.

The flowing water turned a bright purple color, surging towards the nearby Black Sea through the Supreme Grade Green Bamboo Magical Instrument.

This time, with the Magic Artifact's 'insulation', the Bronze Strange Gate did not react, and the purple electricity smoothly flowed into the Black Sea.

The Black Sea witnessed Evil Warding Purple Lightning for the first time in its existence, adding a new color to its surface that had always been black throughout the ages.

CRACKLE!

Lightning flickered, constantly colliding with the Bizarre forces, spreading to further areas.

Unfamiliar sounds came from within the Black Sea, and soon, numerous black fish surfaced, their fate unknown.

Who would have thought I'd see the day of electrofishing in the Bizarre Realm?

Fishing with electricity is much faster than with a rod, after all!

If I had this ability when I first arrived in the Cultivation World, the fishing catch in the Lake of Smoky Waves would have seen an incredible increase, and earning that first pot of gold wouldn't have been so difficult.

The Nascent Soul Level Purple Thunder Exorcising Sword was powerful, and it worked well against the black fish in the Black Sea.

"Capture!"

A black fish flew into his hand; the Insect External Incarnation, through his Evil-Warding Full Body Armor, examined it carefully.

The black fish was pitch-black; its mouth was filled with fine, sharp teeth—not just one row but multiple, as many as five layers, truly intimidating.

It wasn't one of the Bizarre Demons; it seemed more like a Bizarre Demon born from pollution by the power of Bizarre Demons.

The black fish had not died; it was incredibly tenacious, merely stunned by the electricity.

One by one, the black fish were sealed and put into the River Mountain Bag; who knew if there might be new research results from them.

"Increase the power!"

More Spiritual Power was injected into the Purple Thunder Exorcising Sword, the ensuing electricity now nearly ten times thicker than before surged through the water into the Black Sea.

Previously it had been just a light test, but now he was getting serious.

Evil Warding Purple Lightning had always been underestimated until today when it finally demonstrated its true brilliance.

BOOM!

The number of black fish floating on the surface surged, more and more of them falling unconscious.

The range of the Evil Warding Purple Lightning kept expanding, gradually affecting an area beyond ten miles.

Just then, two yellow lights, each the size of a house and resembling lanterns, appeared deep in the Black Sea.

An aura erupted, more than ten times stronger than a Wish Bizarre.

A monster resembling a Terrifying Black Fish opened its massive mouth, and an invisible force came at him.

CRACK!

The Evil-Warding Full Body Armor cracked all over and turned to dust. The Demon-Sealing Tower Talisman's Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light became ethereal and suddenly shattered.

The soul of the Insect External Incarnation, uncontrollable, was about to leave its body and fall into the mouth of the Bizarre Demon.

CRACK!

A much stronger bolt of lightning than before hit the Green Bamboo Magical Instrument, which shattered, and the rushing purple electricity touched the Bronze Strange Gate.

Upon being shocked, the Bronze Strange Gate immediately closed.

The link between this place and the Bizarre Realm was thus severed.
