Chapter 83: [seal Casting], Refinement Of The Haunted House
When the Tiger Demon once again fully restored blood in Human Stance, Yuan Zhu immediately switched back, impatiently deploying the Sanctuary to resist external pollution. Then, racing against time, he burned the pollution, refined the ash, and cast a Holy Seal.
He was unsure how much longer he could monopolize this Garden. Therefore, he needed to seize the time even more, grabbing as much as he could.
Raising his hand in a virtual grip, six Holy Light Force Fields transformed into a cubic barrier, cutting off a Disease Plant’s root tendrils and sealing it shut. Subsequently, Holy Light erupted inside, refining it into ash. The entire process was smooth and effortless, progressing naturally.
Yuan Zhu suddenly realized that after multiple overdrafts of Holy Light, his current control had not only greatly improved, but Holy Light also became increasingly to his liking and handy.
Each release of Holy Light, though unable to be retained, ignited him time and again, merging into it and transforming the nature of the Holy Light. This fully exemplified “one body with light, I shall become light.”
Looking at the dazzling array of combustibles in the Disease Garden, his attention suddenly focused on the puddle of ‘coughing black mud’ left after No. 5 (Ghost Companion) self-detonated.
This thing looked somewhat eyesore. If left unattended to grow spontaneously, it would expand into more Shadow pre-made black mud.
If the Tiger Demon did not actively feed and re-digest it, this mass of coughing black mud would ultimately be occupied by Disease Pollution, or even possibly breed supernatural infectious diseases targeted at the Shadow System.
By then, even the Tiger Demon would risk infection. Therefore, it absolutely could not be left to grow; better to Holy Light Refinement it away once and for all!
Thinking of it, he did it. He released six walls of light again, forming a Holy Cage, sealing the puddle of coughing black mud on the floor.
Blinding Holy Light erupted inside the cage. The black mud, like symbiotic venom stimulated by noise, surged and slammed wildly inside the cage, repeatedly battering the barrier, wanting to escape but always unable to shake the increasingly solid Holy Light Force Field.
As Yuan Zhu clenched his five fingers, the originally fairly large ‘cubic Holy Cage’ further compressed in volume. The internal Holy Light became even hotter, pressure rising higher and higher, like a high-pressure Alchemy Furnace, fiercely tempering the pollutant inside.
When the black mud was thoroughly incinerated into kalpa ash, he revoked the cage. The Holy Mark greedily absorbed the Soul Ash. Yuan Zhu suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, standing dazed in place with an incredulous expression, blurting out:
“Holy shit!”
Perceiving his Boss’s spirit undergoing intense fluctuations, Little Spicy Stick hurriedly asked nervously: “Boss, what’s wrong? I just detected an anomaly in your soul fluctuations.”
“Holy shit! Holy shit!!”
Yuan Zhu fell silent, only repeatedly exclaiming “Holy shit!” This scared Little Spicy Stick badly
What an excellent Boss, must not let him malfunction, still waiting to replace the Great Desolation Old Man. “Boss, don’t scare me. What exactly happened to you? Could it be excessive overdraft, brain damaged by Holy Light?”
“No! I’m just purely shocked. I just discovered a huge loophole, found the Holy Light’s Wealth Code!” Yuan Zhu came back to his senses, looking at the Holy Mark on his wrist gradually cooling down, still feeling incredulous.
Little Spicy Stick: “What exactly did you discover? What Wealth Code?”
“You know the cultivation and advancement of Holy Light. Initially burn stamina, then burn life, burn lifespan, further on burn soul, conditions increasingly harsh. Just now, I burned that mass of black mud after Ghost Companion self-detonated, guess what?”
Little Sprite puzzled: “What happened?”
“I clearly burned pollutant, but in the produced ash, remnants similar to highly burning own life components. This shows this mass of pollutant retains my vitality. But I’m sure, besides Holy Light, I didn’t burn half a point of my own life extra, that can only be the Ghost Companion!”
Yuan Zhu at this moment enlightened like divine aid, instantly understood everything, and analyzed: “After Ghost Companion tempered by Tiger Demon, no longer belongs to itself, but part of Tiger Demon Supernatural Ability. More precisely, extension of Tiger Demon. Thus Holy Light incinerating Ghost Companion’s alienated pollution product, equivalent to burning part of Tiger Demon. Tiger Demon is myself, Holy Light burning Ghost Companion, isn’t it using my life to ignite Holy Light, to purify incinerate own pollution part? Here, external pollution proportion smaller, self proportion enhanced, thus refined ‘Soul Ash’ controllability stability greatly improved, this is disguised Ascetic Cultivation!”
In Holy Light System, if use self as candle to ignite Holy Light, then incinerated ash, self proportion larger, cast Holy Seal controllability stability enhanced. If largely borrow battery’s vitality to burn external objects, ash self content smaller, unable to control pollution ash, will Fall Seal.
But now, a new path lies ahead: Holy Light incinerate Ghost Companion, both ends are self, burned ash, controllability greatly improved, closer to those pure burn self, tempering Holy Light Holy Seal’s ascetic cultivators.
“……?”
Little Spicy Stick dumbfounded, can play like this? Bug exploited!
“Wait!”
Yuan Zhu suddenly remembered something, hurriedly converged Holy Light, switched to Tiger Demon Stance. Before fully transformed, fished out a mass of ‘wriggling black mud’ from shadow, flung on floor.
This was after No.5 self-detonated (Death), recovered via soul summoning Dataized Soul Pollution Characteristic.
Sanctuary. Holy Cage
Holy Light Force Field shone again, before black mud could drill back into his shadow, first sealed imprisoned. Then repeated the trick, on-site Holy Light Refinement.
When third furnace ‘pollutant’ thoroughly Purified, Yuan Zhu closed eyes to savor Soul Ash quality, inwardly exhilarated.
Success!
This time, really from Ghost Companion Soul Pollution Characteristic, burned out small amount high-quality ‘Soul Ash’ very similar to own soul fluctuations.
Ghost Companion’s soul, to some extent can substitute own soul as advanced fuel, to enhance Holy Seal stability, while containing other pollution trait info.
He stared at wrist Holy Mark, muttered: “Wealth Code, this is the true Wealth Code! I get it!”
Yuan Zhu at this moment exhilarated. Tiger Demon = self, thus ‘Ghost Companion’ is own secondary derivative. Holy Light burn Ghost Companion = I burn myself, efficiency far > using Living Battery burn stranger pollutant produce Soul Ash.
“No comparison, both completely incomparable, this cost-performance too high. Cultivation! Must expand Ghost Companion scale. First use Ghost Companion eat Garbage (pollution), grow stronger self. Then counter-burn Ghost Companion cast Holy Seal, gather Soul Crystal. Holy Light from here, smooth sailing!”
Little Sprite at this time understood Yuan Zhu’s bug logic, seriously pondered, indeed makes sense, thus replied:
“Perhaps, this is the true cultivation method of Holy Light System? A Holy Light Cultivator, purely burn self, how much can burn? To reach Eight Seals, Nine Seals, must find similar path, incinerate large amounts belonging to own soul.”
Yuan Zhu: “Oh? Hearing you say so, do you have some unique enlightenment?”
“Yes!” Little Sprite nodded seriously, “Anti-Law! Anti-Law Demon God signs Contract with believers. Lend, lease power, always charge Remuneration. If ruthless, let believers pay with ‘soul’, then souls harvested via Anti-Law, not also similar to Ghost Companion, belonging to own Private Property? Remuneration from Anti-Law lending, 100% belongs to self, yet cannot directly utilize. Then hand to Holy Light to burn? This Soul Ash also 100% belongs to self? Can enhance control over Holy Seal?”
Little Sprite didn’t start from Tiger Demon, but switched to more universal angle (Anti-Law). Yuan Zhu upon hearing, stunned on spot.
Right!
He only thought own Tiger Demon bugged, but after Little Sprite point, immediately realized, between Du Ling systems, also exist similar bug relations.
No! Holy Light System, absolutely not just dry burn self so simple. Surely hides true inheritance mysteries similar to Anti-Law, Ghost Companion. Outsiders fools burn self; insiders naturally have myriad methods, evade detour, achieve goal.
He just entry-level, no famous teacher, no sect Hugging the Thigh, naturally lacks related Inheritance, can only fumble summarize step by step himself.
Yuan Zhu: “Anti-Law? Anti-Law! Anti-Law is good stuff!”
Already successfully linked Tiger Demon, Ghost Companion, Disease Garden, Holy Light Yuan Zhu, after hearing Anti-Law, inspiration exploded again, had Update, bolder idea.
Purely refining cultivating Ghost Companion, efficiency too low, and Ghost Companion potential limited.
Swallow powerful Demonic Creatures, to refine high potential Ghost Companion, but his Tiger Demon can’t eat. Demonic Creatures Tiger Demon can digest, refined are small Garbage.
Additionally, Tiger Demon can control Ghost Companion quantity destined limited. Just first batch 5-1 Eggplant Head Ghosts, far from his limit. Refine more, perhaps reach limit, unable infinite.
But Anti-Law appearance, brings new turning point.
Tiger Demon only need continuously produce Garbage Ghost Companion, then via Anti-Law treat Ghost Companion as power lending (reward) out.
These leased Ghost Companions, from then no longer occupy Tiger Demon quota, changed to lessee bear. As long as Anti-Law continuously sign people, can nonstop lend, let outsiders raise Ghost Companion for self, together grow stronger.
These detached from Tiger Demon Ghost Companions, again controlled by new Anti-Law Contract. Specific ownership, can per ‘Contract content’ stipulate. But regardless how sign, finally Ghost Companion value-added, must return to his hands, after Holy Light round Purification, ‘Dataized Soul Pollution’ return Tiger Demon, Soul Ash cast Holy Seal and Soul Crystal.
“Anti-Law not only a Pollution System, more a Supernatural Financial Tool, can multiple leverage ‘Tiger Demon & Ghost Companion’ hidden power level! Ghost Companion brain not good, but Anti-Law borrower brain no problem. I only need package Ghost Companion into similar Mao Mao King Uniform thing, lower Contract interest rate to Benevolent God standard (annual interest rate 50%), not worry no users hooked. Let them cultivate Ghost Companion for self, then periodic harvest, even not lack people play dead self, even soul send back…”
Yuan Zhu let Little Spicy Stick simply calculate for self, result found in ideal state, with Anti-Law blessing, whether Shadow or Holy Light, can multiple or dozens times improve Revenue & cultivation efficiency.
He discovered if gaze long-term, Anti-Law this Tool brings long-term Revenue, even far exceed this Garden itself.
…
This day, Yuan Zhu Dragon Field Enlightenment, under Yu Jingzi guidance, suddenly Enlightened the essence of Lending Great Dao (Anti-Law)!
He didn’t know how profitable Pale Great Law exactly? But Anti-Law Demon God it really can fish! This damn, fundamentally Capital Great Dao! Surefire Ascending Demon Path!
Mortals contact Anti-Law, only borrower side, mutual game with Anti-Law Demon God, no prospect.
But Tiger Demon different, already initial lending qualification. Ghost Companion more natural lending item, this Anti-Law Great Dao should have my place!
From now on, launch to Du Ling society annualized interest rate only 50% premium Ghost Companion Loan, generation after generation lend lend Act as a Tiger’s Henchman.
“Boss, You’re going to do Anti-Law again?? Then still burn Garbage? So many variant plants, just abandon?” Little Spicy Stick asked.
“Burn! How not burn? Temporarily put Anti-Law on agenda, I need collect more Information. But Holy Light also cannot neglect. I now full of enthusiasm & Fighting Spirit, feel future bright! Already Enlightened Tiger Demon + Holy Light + Anti-Law ultimate wisdom, this world, who but me?!”
Yuan Zhu at this moment extremely excited, he just slightly think Shadow, Anti-Law, Holy Light combination triple strike, blood boiling.
In Disease Garden, Holy Light continuous flash explosion, incinerated piece after piece variant plants into ash, melted cast into Holy Seal.
Full afternoon time, Yuan Zhu no eat no drink, with super action power, madly selflessly Purifying one crop after another Disease Plants, harvesting ‘Disease Fruit’, all refined into ash, melted cast Holy Seal.
Human form overdraft exhausted, switch Tiger Demon slow blood recovery, and extract Shadow Pollution four Ghost Companions, force them devour variant flowers grasses forced evolution.
Ghost Companion choked unable eat, re-cut Human Stance, continue release Holy Light Purify Garden world. Like this tossed till evening, he in spirit extreme fatigue, paused.
This day harvest, let him cast Sanctuary to 4 notches, meanwhile massive Pollution Ash, also let his Holy Light undergo some qualitative change, Holy Seal also nurtured one Brand New Skill.
Yuan Zhu palm heart rose a mass Holy Light, compared initial state, now Holy Light hue more gentle, no longer so blazing bright, but still presented holy white. Just brightness weaker, more gentle.
Simultaneously, his Holy Light no longer loose like light particles, instead more Viscous, tough, presented gel & Adhesion characteristic. Even with his intent change, extend glowing slender Tentacles, like a milky white small sun, externally radiate twisted light rays.
All this, due to Holy Seal largely absorb ‘Disease Ash’. His now Holy Light, also carried small amount Disease Characteristic.
When his Holy Light irradiate target, even cut light source Output, manufactured ‘Holy Light’ won’t immediately disappear, instead contract into mass, possess Adhesion, infiltration, parasitic characteristic, like sacred ‘Disease Organization’ invade target upper respiratory tract, parasitize in body, slowly burn prey life, maintain this mass ‘Parasitic Holy Light’ continue exist.
Holy Seal nurtured new Skill, called Holy Cough. Closely related to his activated parasitic Holy Light.
When activated Holy Light infiltrate target body, can lurk, like Disease diffuse in target body, accumulate Holy Cough Particle.
Holy Cough not outbreak, only overdraft life, and release warm Holy Light Radiation, let target more excited, stamina abundant, reject other pollution, self-feel good.
Holy Cough once Outbreak, patient violent cough, simultaneously become ‘Holy Light Battery’, continuously burn life and create more Holy Light. For vitality utilization rate, conversion rate, far exceed initial Holy Light. Can more finely excavate burn biological battery every inch, and no need Holy Mark direct contact ignite.
Finally, Brand New Holy Light for ‘Disease System pollution’ Resistance, Targeted, Binding Force greatly improved.
Initially, Yuan Zhu still need open Sanctuary everywhere guard Disease Garden pollution Air. Now, he already can fully revoke Holy Light, big mouth breathe pollution Air. Those enter body Disease Pollution, will in first time, be body ‘Active Parasitic Holy Light’ actively prey absorb (Refinement).
In Garden, Yuan Zhu body released massive holy white light, wrap him into a ‘white sun’, countless tough Holy Light ribbons (Tentacles) radial diffusion.
He casually point, light band immediately fly shoot pierce, entwine a Flesh Big Tree variant Fruit. Then Holy Light Force Field Outbreak, cut surrounding branches, start Refinement.
When pollutant efficiently Incineration by Holy Light, that light band (Tentacle) greedily devour Ash, transmit back Yuan Zhu body.
“Seal Casting efficiency increasingly slow, temporarily stop here.”
Eye see Garden above blood light increasingly dim, this Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land about enter night. Spirit extremely fatigued Yuan Zhu, also lost Purification pollution enthusiasm & motivation.
He labored whole day, now obtained rich return, time go out eat a Feast reward self.
Revoke Holy Light sun, only leave layer tough light membrane on head, he returned entry Garden position. Relying Sanctuary brought Space sense, quickly lock one invisible exit.
Shielding Force Field wrap arm, he slowly stretched hand out, then disappeared.
Next moment, he walked out from Dressing Mirror, eye met ‘Shadow Pollution’ Erosion twisted dilapidated scene.
Yuan Zhu hesitated moment, re-open Boss Template, transform Tiger Demon, probe claw from shadow fish out 4 Ghost Companions, command them root Attic four positions, limbs continuously stretch extend, grow massive black Root Tendrils, interweave each other.
Simultaneously, it to Skeleton Snake Tail said: “You sure can do?”
“Of course! Boss you now increasingly prosperous, Information I collected also more. Especially Sanctuary appearance, let me in Space Domain step first step! Also more Cognition of Mountain Lord Demon Realm.”
Mountain Lord Demon Realm as Tiger Demon ultimate talent, can with ‘Human Pillar’ arrange great array, connect Yin-Yang Realms, create absolute Home Ground.
Now, Yuan Zhu only small borrow this talent, with 4 Ghost Companions as wedges, nail in Haunted House most core ‘Attic’ Space, connect with omnipresent ‘Shadow’, re-connect previously exploded by it ‘Space Maze’.
This Haunted House although crippled by it, but foundation still there. View Haunted House as hardware, then it now desire use four stuffed Ghost Companion + Shadow Power substitute Human Face Clock, act as new software, guard, monitor, operate this Haunted House, not be external discover disturb.
Under Little Sprite command, Tiger Demon one mess fooling around,reluctantly let Haunted House with indoor Shadow, and Disease Garden Shadow Layer establish contact.
Four Ghost Companions also rooted Floor, transform into four Dark Tomato Vines, climb Attic four corners, form array, and spread countless pitch-black blood vessel networks, connect Haunted House every Wall, Floor, ceiling, become new ‘Haunted House Evil Spirit’.
When Yuan Zhu removes Tiger Demon Stance, four Ghost Companions no longer disappear return, but thoroughly locked in Haunted House. Turn here, into own temporary lair. From now, this Haunted House temporarily his.
“This Ghost Companion quite useful, should seize time refine another batch.”
Little Sprite: “Also need good raw materials, other Demonic Creatures refined Ghost Companion other attributes, not necessarily better than Mad Tomato.”
