The Town Demon Alliance offered an immense amount of contribution points!

The Break Infant Pill was worth a mere one hundred million Town Demon Alliance contribution points, enough to exchange for three pills.

It was not surprising that the Wicked Flame could be exchanged for three hundred million Town Demon Alliance contribution points, but the Burning Flame Technique was not considered up to par.

"The Burning Flame Technique is quite powerful, and most importantly, its wide applicability means anyone can learn it."

"An ordinary cultivator who has mastered the Burning Flame Technique can confront Bizarre Demons without being completely powerless," Fan Xin explained to Jia Ren.

Why would the Town Demon Alliance offer so many contribution points for the Burning Flame Technique?

The power of the Burning Flame Technique was far inferior to that of the Wicked Flame, but it held one major advantage. Anyone could learn it, without restrictions on usage. This was crucial!

The materials for Warding Off Evil in the Sealed Land were becoming increasingly scarce, as most of them were non-renewable resources. After countless years of consumption, their quantities were diminishing. As the saying goes, scarcity increases value; the price of materials for Warding Off Evil was constantly rising.

Secret techniques that employed Spiritual Power to combat Bizarre Demons conserved the use of materials for Warding Off Evil. Since anyone could learn them, their value was immeasurable.

The only downside was... its power was somewhat weak; otherwise, the contribution points awarded by the Town Demon Alliance would have been far greater.

Of course, the most crucial reason he could receive three hundred million Town Demon Alliance contribution points was that the upper echelons of the Bizarre Alliance were willing to secure more benefits for him. Otherwise, one hundred million Town Demon Alliance contribution points would have been considered a good amount.

"Thank you, Uncle Fan." Jia Ren naturally knew that Elder Fan's role had been immense, and his face showed his gratitude.

"It's a small matter, nothing to worry about." Elder Fan patted Jia Ren's shoulder kindly and left with a smile.

Jia Ren decided to make a trip to the Town Demon Alliance and spend those contribution points. His time left in the Sealed Land was dwindling. Once he proceeded to the Mysterious Realm, the Town Demon Alliance contribution points would become worthless, so he had to spend them before leaving.

He hurried towards the Seven Seas Tower.

Facing the Town Demon Alliance's siege, the Seven Seas Tower was thrown into chaos. Many who were unaware of the situation did not wish to make an enemy of the Seven Seas Tower. The light of the Seven Seas Tower's Sect Protection Array was dim.

"Heaven intends to destroy the Seven Seas Tower!"

The Seven Seas Tower had four Nascent Soul Cultivators. Three were captured, leaving only the last one, who, devoid of any will to fight, was escaping into the distance. Other Seven Seas Tower cultivators deeply involved with the Bizarre Alliance were also hastily fleeing.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Damn the Town Demon Alliance!"

Yue Zun was furious; his Bizarre Demon had arrived. The Test Bizarre Person was in the process of possessing the Bizarre Demon's body. Upon successful possession, he would become one of the Bizarre Persons. The arrival of the Bizarre Alliance's great tide would be the day of his rise. Everything had been progressing exceptionally well. One moment the Seven Seas Tower was thriving, and the next, it faced annihilation. The change came too quickly, catching everyone off guard.

Yue Zun sighed deeply and fled into the distance with astonishing speed.

A figure appeared before him, seemingly having waited for a long time. Upon seeing the newcomer, Yue Zun's dormant memories awakened.

"Are you satisfied with the gift of annihilation I brought you?" The Insect External Incarnation looked at Yue Zun, a hint of a smile in his eyes. He had always been one to hold grudges. Yue Zun had made him take the blame, and this was a vendetta he could not ignore.

"You?! You're still alive?!" Yue Zun was both shocked and enraged, his expression turning ugly. This person was incredibly powerful, having effortlessly slain Lu Wuming of the True Fire Palace; killing Yue Zun himself would not be difficult. Had the Seven Seas Tower not met its calamity, he would have transformed into a Bizarre Person and naturally would not have feared this individual.

"What do you mean by a 'gift of annihilation'?"

"The Town Demon Alliance destroying the Seven Seas Tower... was it you pulling the strings?!" Yue Zun's face turned incredibly ugly as he processed the Insect External Incarnation's words.

"You guessed right! It was the Seven Seas Tower's collusion with the Bizarre Alliance that brought about its disaster. Indeed, if Jia Ren had not notified Wang Fugui of this, today's events would not have come to pass."

The incident at Bizarre Lake, though not the root cause, had given him an extremely poor impression of the Seven Seas Tower, solidifying his belief that they were courting disaster. Yesterday's cause, today's effect.

Yue Zun, believing this person had come specifically for revenge against him and had thereby caused the Seven Seas Tower's downfall, became furious beyond measure. "I will kill you!" His eyes were bloodshot, as if he were a beast about to pounce and devour.

A streak of black light shot towards the Insect External Incarnation. Without waiting to see the result, Yue Zun activated his Escape Light and bolted into the distance. Yue Zun knew very well that he was no match for this person; his chances of victory were slim. More importantly, if the Seven Seas Tower's destruction was indeed related to this person, then this was an adversary he could not afford to provoke. If he did not escape now, death would be certain once he was caught.

The Insect External Incarnation appeared to remain in place, but like a phantom, he had already moved to block Yue Zun's only escape route. Unseen by Yue Zun, a transparent silk thread stretched out before him, forming an intricate net. Unaware, he crashed right into it with incredible speed.

The scene resembled a slaughterhouse. Faced with the sharp and tenacious Yin Sha Silk, his protective Magical Treasures offered no resistance. By the time Yue Zun hit the ground, he had been reduced to chunks of flesh.

Could this be considered suicide? Mirror Flower Water Moon combined with Yin Sha Silk was truly a way to kill without leaving a trace.

Jia Ren picked up the Storage Bag, considering it compensation for being framed, and a wisp of flame ignited the corpse.

The Insect External Incarnation did not immediately head to the Seven Seas Tower to scavenge for spoils but noticed Wang Fugui standing off to the side, quietly watching the unfolding events.

"The interests of cultivators from the Sealed Land and the Mysterious Realm are in conflict. High-ranking cultivators of the Mysterious Realm will not care about the lives or deaths of ordinary cultivators."

"Moreover, quite a few Xuan Realm Cultivators secretly support the Bizarre Alliance; it's a motley group."

"When you are in the Mysterious Realm, don't concern yourself with the affairs of the Sealed Land, lest you invite fatal disaster."

Wang Fugui warned, drawing from his own experiences. He did not want Jia Ren to encounter misfortune related to the Sealed Land after entering the Mysterious Realm.

"Thank you for your guidance."

After entering the Mysterious Realm, I plan to obtain the Cultivation Technique of the Lingbao Sect. By utilizing the Demon-Sealing Tower and Bizarre Demons, I can quickly advance my Cultivation Level. I can find a place to develop peacefully without worrying about cultivation resources. Many cultivators fight and kill one another just to vie for cultivation resources. If I can use Magical Treasures to increase my Cultivation Level, Bizarre Demons will become my best cultivation resource! The Bronze Strange Gate provides an endless supply of Bizarre Demons; cultivation will no longer be a difficult task.

"You made a meritorious report and are considered a hero of the Town Demon Alliance. What do you desire?"

"Profound Underworld Essence Stones. The more, the better."

Wang Fugui did not ask why Jia Ren wanted these items; he casually tossed over a River Mountain Bag. Everyone has their secrets, and prying too deeply is a major taboo.

Chonglou True Lord's River Mountain Bag?! River Mountain Bags from ancient times were scarce; the vast majority of cultivators used Storage Bags instead. Jia Ren recalled this clearly. He hadn't expected Wang Fugui to hand over this incredibly precious River Mountain Bag to him.

"These little trinkets are of no use to me!"

In the Sealed Land, very few treasures could pique the interest of Divine Transformation Cultivators; most were useless to them. Only Heavenly Earth Elixirs like the Mysterious Meridian Spiritual Herb would be of any use to him. Wang Fugui had not claimed them for himself. Advancement at the Divinity Transformation Stage is measured in centuries. A diligent cultivator would not pass up a Mysterious Meridian Spiritual Herb that could accelerate their cultivation speed. Wang Fugui's Cultivation Level had not come from diligent cultivation; he was accustomed to being "carried" by others and wouldn't bother with arduous practice.

Why not give it to Jia Ren and let Jia Ren "carry" him in cultivation...?

"Thank you, Wang Daoyou."

Jia Ren did not stand on ceremony with Wang Fugui. He accepted the newly acquired River Mountain Bag and began to examine it carefully. As the strongest cultivator of the Seven Seas Tower, Chonglou True Lord had been a powerful Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who controlled the Tower's most valuable resources. The treasures in the River Mountain Bag represented the choicest spoils from the Seven Seas Tower.

The Insect External Incarnation was the first to spot the Profound Underworld Essence Stones. There were thirteen in total, the largest the size of a fist. In addition, there were many rare Spirit Ores, all materials for refining Nascent Soul Grade Magical Treasures. Over fifty-two thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones, three hundred twenty-five Superior Grade Spirit Stones, and not a single Low-grade Spirit Stone. Three Ancient Treasures, seven Magical Treasures, and various types of high-quality Elixirs and Talismans – a dazzling and overwhelming assortment.

He glanced at the Ancient Treasures. One was a jade-colored belt inlaid with four mystical gem beads of different colors. They were the Wind-Calming Pearl, the Dust-Avoiding Pearl, the Fire-Avoiding Pearl, and the Water-Repelling Pearl. The four pearls were extremely rare, and an Ancient Treasure belt combining all four was indeed excellent.

A pair of Ancient Treasure boots bore the inscription "Sky-Step" – the Skywalking Boots.

Step on the left foot with the right, and ascend by treading on air?

When the Insect External Incarnation put them on, the boots fit perfectly, and his body felt light and powerful. With a leap, he soared a hundred feet or so high. At his thought, an invisible, tangible platform materialized beneath his feet, allowing him to 'stand' in the sky. Empowered by the Wind Control Skill, he ran swiftly through the sky. Flying and running through the air were different experiences; this was unhindered and felt extraordinary.

Not bad! Having another method to traverse the sky was quite practical. The Skywalking Boots consumed very little Spiritual Power and could be used for extended periods with a continuous infusion. In an emergency, if his Spiritual Power was exhausted, this treasure could still be useful.

The final Ancient Treasure was a black cloak. When he draped it over himself, his body vanished without a trace beneath it.

An Invisibility Cloak? Excellent! Its actual invisibility effectiveness, and whether it could deceive Nascent Soul Cultivators, would require testing to ascertain. These three Ancient Treasures were not combat-oriented, but their auxiliary effects were quite good.

The remaining seven items were Magical Treasures, each a fine Nascent Soul Grade Magical Treasure that Nascent Soul Cultivators could use. Unfortunately, these finished Magical Treasures already had fixed forms; both the offensive and defensive ones were considered merely average. Since there was no possibility of integrating them into his Sacrificial Fire system, he was not interested in these types of Magical Treasures. At best, they would serve as references for refining his own Magical Treasures; otherwise, he could sell them for Spirit Stones and cultivation resources.

"The Bizarre Man's Secret Technique of the Bizarre Alliance cultivators is becoming more sophisticated, and their success rate of possessing bodies is increasing."

"Recently, you should reduce your outings and find a secure place to cultivate steadily."

Bizarre Persons were unpredictable, possessed human intelligence, and were far more troublesome than ordinary Bizarre Demons. Wang Fugui had recently been clearing out Bizarre Alliance remnants and had encountered some particularly troublesome Bizarre Persons, spending considerable time to seal them. Even he found them difficult to deal with. If Jia Ren were to encounter one, he would likely not be spared.

"As the time for you to leave this realm draws nearer, minimizing outings will help avoid trouble." He did not want this "hidden dragon" he had painstakingly scouted to meet with mishap so close to departure.

"Certainly!"

The Insect External Incarnation nodded in agreement. He had just received a large amount of resources that needed to be assimilated.

I am getting closer and closer to the peak of the Late Golden Core Stage. It's time to start preparing the Break Infant Pill. Once I perfect the Late Golden Core Stage, I can begin advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage. All materials for the Supreme Demon-sealing Tower are ready. Before refining this Magical Treasure, I will focus on cultivating securely for a while.
