A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1074: Chapter 1076: Ancient Giant Chi Demon!?

A hundred years later.

The exploration of the mysteries within the Life Code and the Life Key Domain enabled Green to rapidly unlock information hidden in the field of cellular genetics, pursuing deeper levels of atavistic evolution.

Among the rewards provided by the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard, the King Cixi’s Crystal Core required the Infernal Soul Myriad-Headed Bird to slowly refine it, much like soul-devouring evolution, where a nutritionally rich state would not bring about any qualitative change in a short period but only promote long-term growth.

The other mysterious potion, however, was extraordinary!

According to Green’s analysis, the two most obvious ingredients in the potion were the Life Tree Sap, which Green had immersed in once under Mina’s guidance when he received the Third-Level Medal of Honor, leaving a deep impression, and the other was a high-energy liquid of the Seven Rings Holy Tower Flesh Mixture, equivalent to the blood of a Synthetic Beast.

Undoubtedly, this potion given by the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard would have extraordinary effects on the evolution of the hybrid Synthetic Beasts created by Elemental Wizards.

In fact, upon ingesting this potion, the Infernal Soul Myriad-Headed Bird’s internal elemental and flesh structure began to undergo drastic changes. First came intense pain, and then the bird fell into a rapturous slumber with a low moan.

...

Every day, in the hundreds of worlds within the Wizarding Alliance and the Skynet World Group, wars of various levels unfolded. World Masters and Metal Terminator Robots continuously occupied each other’s territories, only to be quickly pushed back. Metal Destroyers, True Spirit Wizards, and Endless Dominators roamed about, each of their actions resulting in devastating disasters.

In contrast to the fierce battles outside, the Wizarding Alliance braced under pressure to create a relatively peaceful environment for the wizards on the potential list, allowing them to exploit their potential before heading to the battlefield to play a stronger role.

After all, wizards pursuing active evolution differ from those passive-evolving creatures requiring years of slow accumulation. By leveraging the knowledge leverage to pry open the rules, wizards are a species group capable of creating miracles in a short time!

The physique increase brought by Male Poison Body Refining showed slight progress in Green over a century.

In research on the Life Key and Dimensional Gap, at the cost of nearly all his efforts and resources, Green finally crossed a few thresholds. Though extensive time would still be needed to accumulate memory for the Dimensional Gap, the Fifth Layer Wild Instinct Xingtian Giant Transformation and the Life Key could lead the way and aimed its focus towards the potential development direction of the Sixth Layer Wild Instinct Transformation.

”Caw caw caw, another clue to the Sixth Layer Wild Instinct Transformation has been found, the Tristar Sacred Tower Ansel Abyss Body Refining Stigmata Great Sorcerer, who mastered the transformation of Ancient Giant Chi Demon’s wild instinct.”

Xiao Ba and Leafy tossed a parchment scroll onto Green’s laboratory table.

Unlike the myriad possibilities of lower-level wild instinct transformations, the higher-level transformations become increasingly singular until all Body Refining Sorcerers pursue the ancestor transformation.

The Sixth Layer Wild Instinct Transformation is the final level below the ancestor, with few variations. To date, Green has only collected seven forms, and with the addition of the Ancient Giant Chi Demon Transformation, it is merely the eighth.

Collecting information about these Sixth Layer Wild Instinct Transformations, through Green’s experiments and using the Life Key as a guide, will allow for a simpler, more effective, human-driven unlocking of wild instinct transformations, rather than breakthroughs amid life and death.

This underscores the difference between Elemental Wizards and Pure Wild Body-Refining Wizards—the former utilizes wisdom to propel everything.

”The Ancient Giant Chi Demon Barbarian Giant Transformation?”

Green studied the information about the Ancient Giant Chi Demon for several hourglass’s lengths, took out his cells, and the bio-mechanical microscopic eye on the Face of Truth magnified at high frequency as he began to search for certain fragments of information in his genetic field.

After several days, Green softly murmured in delight.

”A similarity of fifty-seven percent; it truly is the Ancient Giant Chi Demon transformation. In the remaining forty-three percent, eleven percent is Xuanyuan’s Ancient Spirit, nine percent is Suifire Subduing Dragon, three percent Myriad Herbs Garuda Wheel, and two percent Water and Earth Nuwa, nine per thousand...”

Undoubtedly, if Green wishes to quickly unlock the Sixth Layer Wild Instinct Transformation and break through the ancestor’s restrictions on his cells’ genetic field for rapid atavistic evolution, he must approach from the direction of the Ancient Giant Chi Demon.

...

Three days later, at the Two Rings Book Hall.

”I need all intelligence information on the Ancient Giant Chi Demon transformation.”

As Green spoke, the balance scale on one end of the Two Rings Book quickly lowered, and the other end tilted up.

”Great Stigmata Sorcerer of the Oblivion Tower, you need to pay 177,300 pieces of Witch Essence to exchange for thirty-four pieces of intelligence information about the Ancient Giant Chi Demon here.”

To have thirty-four pieces of intelligence information was somewhat unexpected for Green. Originally thinking he’d be lucky to acquire anything, it seemed Green had underestimated the capabilities of these Holy Tower Books.

After paying the necessary price, Green acquired the knowledge and intelligence he needed and left the Two Rings Holy Tower.

...

Ten years later.

The itch on his pinky finger gave Green a sense that the Infernal Soul Myriad-Headed Bird, which had been dormant for nearly a century, had finally awakened. Green set aside his research linking the Ancient Giant Chi Demon to his own cellular information and shouted out, ”Xiao Ba, Leafy, come quickly!”

”Caw caw caw caw, what’s up?”

Xiao Ba and Leafy flew over in pairs. Green flicked his pinky finger, transforming it into a mass of black flame atop the laboratory table, where strands of Source of Darkness swirled around. Slowly, appearing as if drunk, the shrunken Infernal Soul Myriad-Headed Bird stood up under the space cage, densely-packed heads stretched long and excitedly chirped in joy.

”Wow! Hahaha, it seems you’ve grown several more heads. Don’t move, let me count how many you have now.”

Xiao Ba and Leafy jumped around and played with the Enigmatic Curved-Head Bird, while Green, aided by the Face of Truth, had long since counted those heads, numbering at two hundred and sixty-five. Though a few more had grown, it wasn’t too many.

Feeling intently for a while, Green suddenly made a sound of mild surprise, thought for a moment, and took out a strange piece of metal scrap, placing it into an alchemy furnace in another laboratory.

After several hourglass’s time, the hot, viscous metal liquid on a metal tray was placed on the laboratory table by Green.

Chirp! Chirp!

Amidst excited cries, the Infernal Soul Myriad-Headed Bird screeched, diving its many heads into the tray to drink dauntlessly, exuding indescribable excitement and happiness, startling Xiao Ba and Leafy close by.

”It’s actually... it’s actually the source of the Seven Rings Holy Tower, the synthesis of energy, flesh, and metal, forming the element of the Seven Rings Holy Tower, a specialized research domain of the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizards.”

Soul-devouring, Black Sorcerer Potion Aid, homogenous energy digestion, metal placements—under the combined growth of these four factors for the Infernal Soul Myriad-Headed Bird, it’s feared that its growth rate will far exceed Green’s until it reaches the fourth qualitative transformation of life at the level-6 peak with 999 heads.
