Hair Bizarre's claims are just one side of the story; I need more proof.

The best person to ask would be Wang Fugui...

Jia Ren hesitated for a moment but still didn't inform Wang Fugui.

So what if I know the truth?! What difference could it make?

I can't pin my hopes of entering the Mysterious Realm on others. I need to make more preparations myself.

He took out the Profound Realm Key and examined it carefully.

When Spiritual Power was injected into the Profound Realm Key, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea. Its golden, key-shaped body remained unaffected, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Still can't enter the Mysterious Realm.

Jia Ren had learned the answer from Wang Fugui himself long ago. The Profound Realm Key could only be activated at a specific time. Before then, possessing it was useless.

Jia Ren put away the Profound Realm Key and took out a brass-like whistle, also known as the World-Devouring Sentinel. He infused it with Spiritual Power, poured his consciousness into the World-Devouring Sentinel, and blew hard.

This was the correct way to use the World-Devouring Sentinel.

Unlike the first time he used the World-Devouring Sentinel, this time his consciousness followed the whistle's sound, traveling an immeasurable distance to reach the depths of the sea.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away in the Eastern Extreme Maritime Domain, a pair of amber dragon eyes lit up from the seabed, becoming the sole beacon in the darkness. Behind it, a pitch-black door flickered in and out of existence.

The dragon-like creature scanned the direction from which the whistle's sound had originated, as if meeting Jia Ren's gaze across the void. The dragon's eyes radiated majesty, its aura as profound as an abyss, as oppressive as a prison.

The illusion shattered, and his vision returned to normal.

Though he only caught a fleeting glimpse with the World-Devouring Sentinel, Jia Ren was still profoundly shocked by the guardian's presence.

A God Transformation Level Magical Beast?!

This was the most powerful Magical Beast he had ever encountered—a dragon type with an extremely pure bloodline, possessing astonishing innate talent and strength. It was far beyond his ability to handle.

Is it the guardian of the World-Devouring Sentinel's gate?

In this world, aside from a few Divine Transformation Cultivators affiliated with the Mysterious Realm, the highest Realm one could reach was only the Half-step God Transformation Realm. How could they possibly be a match for a God Transformation Level Magical Beast?

It wouldn't be easy to use the World-Devouring Sentinel to enter the Mysterious Realm.

However, the World-Devouring Sentinel had its own advantages. Unlike the Profound Realm Key, it wasn't restricted by an activation time...

Jia Ren recalled the smuggling Hair Bizarre had mentioned. Could the World-Devouring Sentinel be the tool they used for smuggling?

Unfortunately, this smuggling route had already been discovered, which was why a guardian was stationed there to prevent further illicit entries.

If I want to use this path to enter the Mysterious Realm, how can I pass through safely?

A violent confrontation? The chances are slim.

Use an Illusion Technique to confuse it? The difference in Realms is too vast; Mirror Flower Water Moon can't guarantee deceiving a Divinity Transformation Stage dragon.

Bombard it with a large number of Bizarre Sound Talismans to forcibly put it to sleep?

Detonate Misleading Bizarre Path Talismans to make it lose its way and abandon its post?

These are all good options, each with a possibility of success.

Beyond these, there's one final option: feed it an Ancestor Beast Holy Pill.

Use the Ancestor Beast Holy Pill as bait to lure the guardian dragon away from its post. Jia Ren could then seize the opportunity to slip through the gate unnoticed.

Based on his experience so far, few Magical Beasts could resist the temptation of bait, and a God Transformation Level Magical Beast would be no exception.

To resolve this threat without resorting to violence and enter the Mysterious Realm...

The only trouble is that the Ancestor Beast Holy Pill would benefit this guardian dragon, possibly even causing its bloodline to undergo atavism.

As for subduing this God Transformation Level dragon Magical Beast...

The disparity in strength is too great; the difficulty of subduing it as a spirit pet is too high.

It's more likely that things would backfire. Instead of subduing the dragon Magical Beast, I'd be captured by it and become its human pet, solely responsible for performing Alchemy for it.

This is a feasible method.

Compared to battling a God Transformation Level dragon-type Magical Beast, a single Elixir could easily solve the problem. Nothing could be simpler.

Thus, the World-Devouring Sentinel, initially seeming extremely difficult, had instead become his shortcut.

Far more appealing than using the Profound Realm Key... much more tempting!

The Insect External Incarnation stored away the World-Devouring Sentinel. In his heart, its value now surpassed that of the Profound Realm Key.

Over the next period, while the Insect External Incarnation continued its Cultivation Technique practice, it also entered the Demon-Sealing Tower. It released the Corpse-eating Bizarre to search for suitable materials to cultivate Bizarre Objects.

Using the Corpse-eating Bizarre as the core, it created Bizarre Talismans and other types of Bizarre Treasures.

Various medicinal ingredients were put into experiments to carefully confirm if they could cause Spiritual Medicine to mutate.

Among the collected medicinal materials and plants, none could fuse with the Corpse-eating Bizarre and survive the mutation.

There was another possibility: the compatible medicinal materials were extremely precious and rare, and not among those he possessed. Jia Ren couldn't possibly possess all the medicinal materials in the Cultivation World; there would always be rare items he couldn't find.

If Spiritual Medicine and plants don't work, what about Magical Beasts?

Jia Ren had always limited Bizarre Objects to being based on Spiritual Medicine, but they weren't necessarily restricted to that.

The Corpse-eating Bizarre's characteristics are different. Its contamination target might not be Spiritual Medicine, but Magical Beasts.

Magical Beasts could also be included as experimental subjects. Who knows, it might even be possible to mutate a Bizarre Demon.

The Spirit Medicine Garden had an extremely large quantity and variety of Spiritual Medicines planted. In comparison, the number of Magical Beasts seemed too scarce.

Spirit Fish and Spirit Insects were used in experiments, but none were able to mutate. Targets contaminated by the Corpse-eating Bizarre's blood couldn't survive for long.

The Insect External Incarnation set out on long journeys, capturing and finding Magical Beasts for experiments.

A year passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Jia Ren thought the Bizarre Demon project had failed, one Magical Beast completed its mutation and tenaciously survived.

This was a Magical Beast called a Carrion Dog, which had a natural inclination to eat carrion and always moved in groups. Even after killing a Magical Beast, they wouldn't eat it immediately, waiting instead for the food to putrefy before consuming it. Their deviant behavior made them outcasts among other Magical Beasts.

The Carrion Dog's mutation was successful. Its appearance was now vastly different from before, so calling it a Carrion Dog was no longer quite fitting. Its fur had molted, revealing dry, shriveled black skin. One of its canine eyes was a ghostly green, the other a blood-like crimson. A bizarre aura emerged, not like that of a normal Magical Beast.

ROAR!

The mutated Bizarre Dog suddenly lunged at the Insect External Incarnation. Its speed was extremely fast, second only to a Golden Core Cultivator, leaving a string of afterimages. It had originally been a trash-tier Magical Beast, an unranked existence. After mutating into a Bizarre Dog, even Jia Ren felt a strong sense of threat from it.

The strength gained from this transformation is indeed astonishing!

This Bizarre Dog still wants to devour its master?!

BOOM!

A blast of Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light erupted, slamming the Bizarre Dog to the ground, unable to move an inch. Its crimson and ghostly green eyes stared at the Insect External Incarnation, full of ferocity, looking as if it wanted to pick someone to devour.

Can this thing be subdued as a spirit pet?

Previously, the Bizarre Objects I created were all like Bizarre Medicines. This is the first time I've made a Bizarre Demon. I wonder if Bizarre Demons can be subdued?

The Insect External Incarnation wasn't sure, so it could only take out a few Evil-warding Treasures for protection before striding towards the immobilized Bizarre Dog.

"Heart Language Technique!"

The Insect External Incarnation didn't hurry to control the Bizarre Dog, instead trying to use the Heart Language Technique to communicate. The Bizarre Dog's will was too frenzied, its thoughts too chaotic for any communication. Its intelligence was practically non-existent; it couldn't be treated as a normal Magical Beast.

Communication is impossible. I'll just try to control it by force.

"Spirit Contract!"

This was Jia Ren's beast control technique, which he had always used to subdue Magical Beasts with few failures. However, when facing the Bizarre Dog, he suffered his first defeat; the control attempt failed.

Once! Thrice! Ten times!

Each attempt ended in failure, as if conveying a crucial piece of information to him.

Bizarre Demons cannot be controlled.

I can only cut it up and try to refine a Mysterious Pill!

I can't let it go to waste!

The Evil-Slaying Demon-Purging Sword materialized in its palm, slashing the Bizarre Dog repeatedly. Each Slash, accompanied by pulsing Evil Warding Purple Lightning, made the Bizarre Dog wail incessantly as chunks of its flesh were torn from its body.

An expression of fear finally appeared in the Bizarre Dog's eyes.

One more try. If it still doesn't work, I'll have to kill it.

The Evil-Slaying Demon-Purging Sword hovered high above, poised to strike. As Jia Ren activated the Spirit Contract, the Bizarre Dog's resistance weakened considerably. The Extraordinary Saint Level Spirit Contract swept through, invading the Bizarre Dog's Soul Sea.

BOOM!

A strong, bizarre impact wave struck, and a sinister, bizarre power surged towards its Divine Soul.

Contamination and backlash from the Bizarre Demon?

If a Cultivator controls a Bizarre Demon, will their Divine Soul be contaminated by bizarre power?!

The Insect External Incarnation hadn't anticipated such a development, and its expression changed drastically. The Divine Soul is a Cultivator's core. Once contaminated by bizarre power, they will inevitably descend into madness.

Without any hesitation, it immediately ducked into the Demon-Sealing Tower.

The instant the Insect External Incarnation entered the Demon-Sealing Tower, the surging contaminating power was forcibly cut off, and the bizarre aura invading its Divine Soul vanished like smoke into thin air.

Can't control Bizarre Demons?!

This was both within expectations and understandable.

The Insect External Incarnation directed the Evil-Slaying Demon-Purging Sword to slash at the Bizarre Dog, one Sword strike nearly cleaving it in two.

The difference between Bizarre Demons and Bizarre Objects was that Bizarre Demons could move at will and possessed considerable aggressiveness.

Realizing the danger, the Bizarre Dog decisively fled, rushing towards the Spirit Insect Nest on the back mountain.

"Stop it!"

Several active Blackwater Spiders received the command. One Blackwater Spider opened its mouth and spat out several black spiderwebs towards the Bizarre Dog. The Bizarre Dog moved with agility and nimbleness, dodging every spiderweb. It suddenly leaped, appearing before the Blackwater Spiders. It swallowed the nearest Blackwater Spider in one gulp and sent another flying with a whip of its tail.

BOOM!

The force of its tail was like a thunderclap; the Blackwater Spider's abdomen exploded, and it collapsed to the ground, dead. Killing a Second Order spider-type Magical Beast was as easy as killing a chicken.

The Blackwater Spider's corpse lay beside the Bizarre Dog. For a long while, there was no reaction. The anticipated event of the spider's corpse reanimating did not occur.

Didn't the Bizarre Dog inherit the Corpse-eating Bizarre's Realm of the Dead?

The Corpse-eating Bizarre's abilities are mostly related to corpses. And its Frost Breath, which can freeze Spiritual Power, hasn't appeared either?

If the Bizarre Dog didn't possess abilities like these, then even if it were made into a Bizarre Treasure, it wouldn't have similar capabilities.

This fellow isn't useless, is it?

The battle wasn't over. The Bizarre Dog, facing the attacks of multiple Blackwater Spiders, showed no fear. It opened its mouth, and a large gout of black Spider Silk surged out.

A dog spitting Spider Silk?!

The Insect External Incarnation suspected there was something wrong with its eyes. This dealt a great shock to its young mind, leaving it unable to recover for a long time.

If I weren't the Bizarre Dog's creator, I'd really suspect it was the product of a spider and a dog demon hybridizing.

The Bizarre Dog had just swallowed the Blackwater Spider's corpse, and then it immediately spat out the Blackwater Spider's Spider Silk.

In that case, its ability is already obvious.

This is an ability the Corpse-eating Bizarre had never revealed before.

To devour a target and master the devoured target's abilities!
