Chapter 249: Heartwarming Otherworld Toys From Big Brother!
Facing the Little Sister’s business-like praise, Yuan Zhu appeared calm and unmoved, but in reality, he wasn’t all that pleased inside. He just pretended coolly by nodding lightly to accept the compliment, then turned around, leaving the brother and sister with a profound and mysterious back view.
What Little Sister was thinking was unknown for now, but the innocent Younger Brother at this moment held the warm, glowing Flask in his hand, staring worshipfully at Yuan Zhu’s back, vowing to himself to be just as cool in the future!
The Demonic Giant Insect that even he himself was unwilling to confront head-on was actually sealed up just by striking a flashy pose and emitting a cool beam of Holy Light, compressing the Demonic Creature into this small Flask? Simply too pants spicy!
At this moment, Little Brother raised the transparent Flask that seemed to be made of Glass material, gently shaking it. The Singing Cicada inside, compressed to miniature size, impatiently vibrated its wings, emitting a sonic wave attack.
The sonic wave hit the bottle wall and was neutralized and disintegrated by the Spatial Structure, transforming into Polluting Energy that was purified and absorbed by the Flask. The bottle body slightly released warmth, indicating that a small amount of Holy Power (Holy Light Particle) had been stored into the bottle body structure, awaiting extraction or release.
Little Brother merely held the Flask and automatically comprehended a series of usage instructions, his mind filled with only one amazed thought: “Amazing! (Amazing!)”
On the front side of the back view that the brother and sister couldn’t see, Yuan Zhu’s handsome face quickly fell apart, and he secretly complained to Little Spicy Stick: “Holy crap, what kind of garbage Sealing Technique is this? And Demon Seal Wave too, with such high consumption, I almost made a huge fool of myself—way worse than the original!”
Snake Snake hurriedly explained: “Holy Light System abilities don’t have names. I customized them based on your knowledge base and personal preferences. It’s named Demon Seal Wave because the Holy Seal extracted related memories during the Seal Casting process as a guiding template for Skill gestation.”
The Holy Light System has an extremely high emphasis on mindset, evolving randomly into products that are ‘reasonable yet unexpected,’ like a Zanpakuto or Sharingan, based on the Cultivator’s subconscious desires.
Yuan Zhu sincerely wanted to capture the naturally dissipating Holy Light, so he awakened Flask Power. This allowed Holy Light Energy to participate in shaping the bottle body structure, solidifying and retaining it. Moreover, the enclosed structure of the Flask inherited Little Pumpkin’s spatial stability, enabling further capture, sealing, and storage (Sealing) of Holy Light.
As for the consumption of activating Sealing Technique (Demon Seal Wave), his released Sealing Light Beam can be understood as a Gravity Pillar. Anyone illuminated by the Sealing Light Beam is like being struck by invisible gravity and subjected to gravity suppression, suffering weakening and interference.
The strength of the Sealing Light Beam depends on the amount of Holy Light Yuan Zhu invests. The effect presented is like 1x gravity, 2x… up to 10x. The stronger the Sealing Light Beam, the greater the suppression and weakening on the prey.
Finally, perform Barrier Confinement, using the intensity of the Light Beam itself to pull the confined target into the Holy Flask, completely sealing and preserving it.
The success rate of the entire Sealing process depends on Yuan Zhu’s own Strength, the weakening and suppression power of the Sealing Light Beam, and the target’s own Strength. If any link is broken, the Seal will fail.
As for Martial Tai Dou defeating the strong with the weak by ambushing the over 700-year-old Big Bick Old Man with a rice cooker for a heaven-defying Seal achievement, it doesn’t apply to Yuan Zhu’s Flask version Demon Seal Wave—it’s just Snake Snake scamming with the name.
Yuan-style Sealing Technique is very balanced and realistic. Assuming Candle’s Strength is 10, in one-on-one scenarios with equal or lower Strength compatibility, the success rate skyrockets. It’s all about crushing situations, forcibly suppressing all demons and ghosts, and bringing them to justice.
But if the target’s Strength exceeds his own, say 20, then relying solely on Sealing Holy Light + Barrier Confinement can weaken the prey’s Strength to around 12-15. At that point, the scales are still unbalanced, and the Sealing process is easily disrupted and destroyed.
He overly trusted Snake Snake’s named technique (Demon Seal Wave), overestimated his own Strength, and underestimated the seemingly mild-tempered house-trained Demonic Giant Insect, thinking it wouldn’t resist.
So in the debut show of the Sealing Technique, he deliberately picked the two strongest Demonic Giant Cicadas, wanting to leave a bit of shock from the Otherworld for Little Sister and Little Brother!
Thus, he almost drained the last drop of Holy Light from his Soul Crystal, falling into deficit. But he wouldn’t lose in presence, maintaining the forced cool act throughout, calmly turning around to sublimate his image with a profound and mysterious back view. It’s just that his face was a tiny bit pale at the moment.
Snake Snake: “Boss, I discovered a blind spot!”
“What blind spot?”
Snake Snake: “You were too busy posing to fool the kids earlier, ignoring the correct operation method for Demon Seal Wave. You fought the Magic Worm purely with brute force the whole time, without any Skill. It worked only because your raw Strength is decent, relying on violent suppression for the successful Seal. But the efficiency was extremely low, nearly draining you dry.”
Yuan Zhu was surprised: “There’s Technique to it? Isn’t all the Technology in the Flask?”
After the Holy Seal hatches this ability, the core essence is in Flask Power. Sealing Technique is just the bundled driver software.
Snake: “Wrong! You consumed massive Holy Light to generate a Sealing Light Beam for forcibly suppressing and sealing the Magic Worm—correct in theory, but flawed in execution. If you insert Holy Seal.Sanctuary as a lens into Demon Seal Wave, it’s like placing a lens at the light source during Light Beam projection, amplifying the Sealing Technique for twice the result with half the effort!”
Snake Tail quickly performed formula calculations in the Immortal Scripture Client.Holy Light Panel, arriving at a conclusion:
When performing Seal, inserting a Sanctuary lens can effectively amplify Sealing Light Beam intensity by 100% and increase target weakening by 100%.
With this addition and subtraction, it’s a 200% difference. If Sanctuary is recast in the future, not only will the Holy Flask’s Strength soar; the Sealing Technique’s power will also skyrocket, achieving effortless cross-level sealing.
“Is that how it is? The seemingly mediocre Sealing Technique suddenly becomes practical, and of a late-game growth type. But the Price is ‘repeated Seal Casting.’ Has repeated Seal Casting also become part of my subconscious ideas?”
After hearing Snake Snake’s pointers, Yuan Zhu suddenly saw the light. His towering back view instantly erupted with infinite confidence—turns out he wasn’t a noob; he just used it wrong.
The powerful aura crushed over the two siblings who were playing with the Sealing Flask. Little Girl abruptly looked up, her business smile frozen on her face, her little fists clenched tight, secretly thinking that he’s indeed the Boss I chose—this aura is truly astonishing; must hug this thigh tight and not let go!
Not wanting to perform burning Mouse to replenish Holy Light in front of the two kids, Yuan Zhu waved his hand lightly and said: “Alright, I’ll take you to open your eyes and see the Supplies I’ve prepared for Animal Husbandry Village.”
After the three exited the Dream Space, they returned to the second layer of Shadow World.
Yuan Zhu led the two to a corner of the Corpse Seed Plantation’s newly opened small Space, pointing to the neatly restacked Supplies and introducing: “These are Supplies produced from the outside World. This batch is Spices and Seasoning Packets, which can be used for cooking and processing Food to improve taste. Some can be ground into powder and modulated into Perfume and Spices to enhance personal charm.”
Younger Brother said blankly: “Food is just Food. Improving taste—can it enhance Strength?”
Yuan Zhu was stumped by the question and shook his head: “No, but it can make Food more delicious.”
Younger Brother was even more puzzled upon hearing this, his eyes filled with pure stupidity, wearing an expression of ‘what’s the use,’ yet holding back from speaking.
Although Little Girl hadn’t tasted any top-tier delicacies, ever since Captain transplanted a Reverse Life Tree and turned the Inner World into a Plantation, the siblings had truly lived good days—Food’s Pollution Degree plummeted, and nutritional quality skyrocketed.
So she scolded her brother: “Compare the gap between our past and current Food, and you’ll understand what delicious means!”
Brother honestly replied: “That’s because the Food’s own Quality improved. I still don’t get the role of Spices.”
Little Girl was also at a loss, so she decisively changed the subject: “Uh… brother, that Perfume—isn’t it pheromone refined by flower-picking thieves for courtship? You excel at this too?”
Facing Little Girl’s worshipful expression of ‘I want to learn too,’ Yuan Zhu had a splitting headache. Where did these country bumpkins come from?! Pheromone flower-picking thieves—what the heck? Your Eclosion World is pretty wuxia!
“Never mind, come look at these.” Yuan Zhu led the brother and sister to another batch of Supplies and introduced: “These are Medicines I bought from my Hometown—cheap Price, zero Pollution Degree, suitable for ordinary residents, with effects similar to Pills.”
Little Girl was very interested in Du Ling’s ordinary Medicines, tearing open the packaging to look at the never-before-seen plastic packaging, feeling dazzled and enchanted with an indescribable sense of sophistication!
However… “Why can’t I sense any medicinal properties from this potion?”
Yuan Zhu was puzzled: “What medicinal properties? These potions have plenty of efficacy.”
“The Spiritual Grass and Medicine we plant can be judged for potency and attributes by their contained Spirituality (Pollution). These potions have form but no soul.”
Yuan Zhu understood: “So, these are potions developed for ordinary people, unpolluted. Your Underground World’s environment would be a highly polluted zone in my Hometown. The purified Spiritual Energy you breathe here, clean water sources, and safe Food are all considered heavily polluted in my Hometown. The True Qi you’ve cultivated and refined in the past had 1/3 used for removing bodily Pollution Erosion—surely you can understand the harm of Pollution?”
Little Girl said in shock: “There’s a completely clean World?”
Yuan Zhu thought about Du Ling Star, that cesspit planet, then nodded: “It does exist! For you, everything there is like paradise, where you can freely breathe clean air (industrial exhaust) and drink clean water (industrial wastewater).”
He wasn’t lying. Compared to the Eclosion World, Du Ling Star really couldn’t be called filthy; it was more like paradise.
Younger Brother’s brain short-circuited a bit: He couldn’t imagine it!
Little Girl instantly got it and asked: “Just like the legendary ‘surface immortal realm’ before the Great Destruction?”
Younger Brother suddenly realized: “The mythical era when our ancestors were enslaved by the Immortal Palace?”
Little Girl ignored her 8-year-old idiot brother: “Big brother, big brother! Does your hometown also have Immortal Palace cultivators? Are they also enslaving mortals?”
“There is indeed the Kunlun Immortal Sect, but it’s on another continent, and they’re quite restrained, not enslaving mortals. Sigh, miscalculated. If I’d known, I would’ve recorded some videos of my hometown for you, to show you what verdant mountains, lush waters, and misty immortal lands look like.”
Living in a leap year, with constant rain and dampness, muddy ground, frog infestations, goblin plagues… but gazing at the distant mountains, that scenery was overwhelmingly beautiful, like a human immortal realm.
Then, Yuan Zhu introduced Little Girl to various precision instruments, like balances, microscopes and other pharmaceutical tools, as well as mechanical watches, clocks and other luxury goods.
This made the two Bubble Layer hicks exclaim in delight; giving each a
It can’t be said that Orochimaru’s brainwashing techniques aren’t strong enough, but the living standards in the ninja world are truly too low. Just giving a bit of sunshine to an orphan from the bottom layer would make them utterly devoted.
As clever as Little Girl, with extremely strong vigilance, she also slowly fell under Brother Yuan’s big brother warm loving offensive. This was much easier than PUA for the well-educated Nie Yin.
Soon, the brother and sister each dual-wielded [Thunder God brand] pistols and machine guns, firing bursts of flames at various ‘Magic Worm corpses’ in the Inner World like setting off firecrackers during New Year, their faces beaming with utmost happiness.
Human nature is universal; even Otherworld orphans are enamored with the thrill of firing and hunting.
Looking at the “Corpse Seed. Magic Worm shell” that had been washed by bullets, full of cracks and bullet holes, Little Girl raised her emptied dual pistols high and cheered: “Brother Yuan, this thing is awesome! It’s just not durable.”
“Practice well, get familiar with the usage, and understand the configuration and attributes. In a couple of days, I’ll take you to Cicada City for a sales pitch. Here, this little melon is called a ‘grenade’. Hold it steady, and I’ll teach you how to use it!”
“That’s awesome! What is that disc? It looks so cute too.”
“That one called Landmine can be buried in the Underground Tunnel, waiting for a lone Magic Worm to step on it, and then with a ‘boom!’, it explodes scattering thousands of steel balls…”
“Hiss…!” Little Girl listened with her eyes sparkling. Surprisingly, they were all hidden weapon mechanisms that didn’t require using True Qi at all. They were truly too interesting, second only to Alchemy.
Seeing that the brother and sister were indeed somewhat obsessed with the ‘arms toys’ from Du Ling, Yuan Zhu simply dragged a Cantonese-style twin-tailed one renowned for its tenacious vitality out from the [Farming Area], bound it with several iron chains, and tied the other end to a branch hanging from the Reverse Life Tree.
Then use it as a target for the brother and sister to test the arms provided by A Miao.
Because Yuan Zhu clearly understood the harsh production environment of the Underground World, which bred a large number of out-of-control Demonic Giant Insects. Ordinary firearms had limited power, so he specially ordered heavy weapons, grenades, shoulder-fired rocket launchers… and other insect-killing tools.
Little Brother needs no further explanation; his physique is no worse than Yuan Zhu’s.
Little Girl looks like she has the stature of a second-grade elementary school student, but she has similarly refined the Twelve Main Meridians and opened the Ren and Du Meridians, giving her the beauty of a six-year-old in the ninja world who can go to the battlefield to kill enemies and ponder life. She carries a rocket launcher without fearing the recoil at all, fires the RPG like a firework, and laughs with exceptional innocence and purity.
Yuan Zhu watched from the side with double the gratification, feeling like a university student going to a remote rural area to teach, finally freeing the children from heavy farm work, giving them a chance to enjoy the rare playtime. And what they were playing with was the advanced fireworks brought back from the city by Big Brother.
Everyone was very happy, and the atmosphere was exceptionally warm.
As long as you ignore the flesh-covered, madly exploding and splattering, severed limbs and minced meat smeared all over the ground, with the mutilated corpse still violently struggling and twitching 【Guang-style Twin Tails】 on the opposite side, that’s all.
