New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 296 A Simple and Brutal Inauguration Ceremony for the [Goblin Paladin]

A sword cultivator who can master their own natal flying sword is equivalent to reaching the standard of a "seed". In Xianxia novels, this would be at least between the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.

For a professional swordsman, this achievement is merely the starting point. If the quality of the [natal flying sword] is poor or the trajectory is flawed, it actually indicates a damaged aptitude, making the future sword path more difficult.

However, for a mere goblin, such good fortune was enough to make their ancestors rest in peace. It was an absolutely incredible stroke of luck, and Yuan Zhu was extremely content!
"To be able to cultivate a [Natal Sword] is already quite remarkable, so this is the one!" He immediately made the decision, pushing a pair of sword boxes towards Nie Yin, and instructed, "Don't forget to sign them into your [Anti-Law]. [Goblin Sword Immortal] deserves to occupy two slots."

Yuan Zhu granted Nie Yin the authority of [Anti-Law Group B. Spokesperson].

If we interpret Zhu Zi as the villainous high demon in a fantasy film who peddles "devil contracts" everywhere, then Nie Yin and Yuan Tang, siblings, are also elite members trusted by the demon, acting as archbishops and missionaries wandering the human world.

Their responsibilities include influencing people's minds, spreading the glory of "our Lord", selecting and winning over high-quality clients, promoting and signing "anti-law contracts", and ultimately including them in their own "personal performance".

Having also been familiar with the basic functions of [Anti-Law.Shadow], Nie Yin naturally knew that she had four 'downline' slots, and could even replace Yuan Zhu, freely bestowing 'opportunities' and 'extraordinary crystals' upon her downlines, using them as test subjects for various creative experiments.

She wasn't particularly familiar with the [Sword Immortal] class, nor did she have much interest in it. Now, being suddenly asked to take up two spots to train the [Goblin Sword Immortal] class made her somewhat unhappy.

If possible, she would prefer to use her [Anti-Law Slots] to conduct some experiments on [Rune Inscription (Tattoo)].

This is the enlightenment-level extraordinary system that she has developed single-handedly over the past few years through unremitting efforts and attempts, utilizing the free resources of the academy. It possesses 'independent extraordinary intellectual property rights' and is expected to open up a 'new path' for herself.

Fortunately, after using two, there were still two left. In the end, she relented and nodded: "Okay!"

"Then you can have these four goblins! I'll go upstairs and take a look."

After agreeing on the use of the 'four healthy goblins' with Nie Yin, Zhu Zi dragged the remaining 6 goblins, whose minds were blank from being frightened by the terrifying style of the [haunted house], back to his loyal attic.

...

Stepping back into the Garden of Disease, he saw five bruised and battered hybrid orcs sprawled on the ground, panting heavily. They were constantly reaching into a nearby metal bucket to pick up recently dead, skinned frogs and stuffing them into their mouths.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The yellowed fangs chewed mercilessly, and the frog, carrying a strong smell of pollution, was immediately chewed until its bones broke and its tendons cracked, turning into a pulp that the orc swallowed.

These 'polluted frog meats' discarded by Nie Yin, transported to the garden while still hot, could spontaneously absorb the dense 'disease pollution' in the air, further aggravating the mild mutations in the flesh and increasing the pollution.

The increased 'pollution' of the contaminated frog meat means it's richer in energy, making it even more 'nutritious'! When eaten fresh by the orcs, it's quickly converted into nutrients in their stomachs to support muscle development, making it practically perfect.

As for the possibility of some "disease contamination," could it lead to the orcs going out of control and mutating?
That underestimates the extraordinary stability of [Frog-type Pollution].

The dignified [Extreme Warrior] is characterized by its stability, resilience, and toughness... Even without the purification of [Holy Light], it can withstand 'disease-contaminated materials' and use its own 'frog-type pollution' to combine, digest, and absorb them.

At this moment, in addition to the five orcs sitting on the ground, feasting without regard for hygiene, there were three short, thin, and small, obviously malnourished 'frog-type shadow goblin warriors' in the garden, who were howling as they charged towards Yuan Tiao, only to be knocked to the ground by a few punches and kicks, before stubbornly getting back up.

"Brother Yuan, you're back!"

Seeing Zhu Zi dragging six seemingly clean and healthy goblins into the garden, Yuan Tiao stopped what she was doing and took the initiative to greet them.

Yuan Zhu pointed at the three muscle goblins: "What's going on with them?"

"These are the experimental products of my sister and Senior Nie, and they were sent here for my training. My sister said that they should participate in low-level 'suicide show matches,' not to win against their opponents, but to make them look good and intimidate people. In short, she asked me to train them so that they would not be pursued for actual combat power, but for them to make their fancy moves look good and be exciting."

Yuan Zhu nodded and praised, "Oh! Very correct idea. Keep up the good work, and I'll add another batch of 'hot-blooded cannon fodder warriors' for you to form a 'martial arts training class.' I allow you to continue teaching some 'insect city martial arts' in addition to 'Red Harbor Boxing.' No need for true qi, just make sure the moves are flashy and beautiful. Not only should they be beautiful, but they should also be insidious and ruthless enough, targeting vital points, creating tension, passion, and excitement... That's what the audience will love to watch."

Yuan Tiao was somewhat worried: "In that case, the casualties would be very high."

Candle: "Hmm... do you understand exhibition matches? It's a fake match, a rigged one. Attacking vital points requires ruthlessness, speed, and ferocity, but also restraint. Traditional martial arts stop short of causing serious injury. What appears to be a heavy punch actually causes very little damage. A cut might cause a lot of bleeding, but it's not fatal; it's actually a minor injury... All those 'eighteen stabs,' each avoiding vital points, are just minor injuries. This kind of training tests your sense of proportion, making it more difficult than a real serious injury. It also tests your teaching ability, your understanding of martial arts, and your control. Work hard; I hope that in the process of teaching and imparting these skills, you can grasp a higher level of subtlety, which is said to be the mark of the [Heavenly Rank]."

What could Yuan Tiao do? He could only nod earnestly, "I will work hard!" Zhu Zi then pointed to the six goblins under his command, "Remember what these six look like. I will train them into [Goblin Paladins]. Without mixing in any 'diseases or shadow contamination,' using only the purest [Holy Flask. Goblin Jinchūriki] as the foundation, I will teach them the orthodox [Holy Cough Knight Breathing Technique]. You will supervise and teach them, and observe their physical changes."

"Whether the spirits are present in the world now, or in the [Spirit Realm, Foam Realm, and Astral Realm] that we may encounter in the future, there will be no polluted miasma environment like in the [Underworld]. And the more common 'Kunlun Spiritual Energy' is not suitable for you and your brother. I hope you can observe these [Goblin Paladins] more and learn a new version of the [Breathing Technique] from them."

The "Source Qi Breathing Method" of [Insect City] is not suitable for the outside world. When orthodox Qi cultivators break through the void and leave the [Feathered World], they must first come into contact with new 'Nightmare Pollution' through the [Dream Hole] and integrate it into True Qi (Innate True Qi).

The purpose of this approach is to allow the newly fused Nightmare Pollution to replace the original spiritual energy after the [Feathered World] is freed from the 'polluted miasma', thus enabling them to persist for a long time.

Unlike the niche and limited [Qi Refining Technique], which is only applicable to a single bubble world, the Knight-type [Steel Breathing Technique] is universally applicable across all realms. It requires no external force (spiritual energy). As long as there are metal materials (steel) around, one can continuously extract metal concepts through the [Breathing Technique] to strengthen the physical body and forge a body of steel.

Yuan Zhu's plan for the "Holy Knight" involves using "Holy Cough Particles" generated by the "Holy Flask" instead of "Steel Particles" to integrate into the flesh and blood, and forging the strength of the body through breathing techniques.

As for the problem of the Holy Light dissipating, it is naturally solved and compensated for by the spatial confinement effect of the [Sacred Grail].

Therefore, once the [Goblin Paladin] project is successful, the two siblings can refer to the [Holy Light Breathing Technique] to modify their own cultivation methods and resume their stalled training progress.

...

Without hesitation, Yuan Zhu conjured up a handful of 'pumpkin ash' and immediately hand-rolled out six spherical 'Holy Flasks'.

Then, he selected six 'disease fruit trees' with trunks as thick as an adult man's arm from the nursery of the Disease Garden to serve as sealing targets.

He cast six consecutive rounds of [Magic Sealing Wave], using holy light to imprison them one by one, pulling them from the ground, and sealing them, along with the bleeding roots that looked exactly like intestines, into the flask.

Soon, he created six [Saint Sao Bottles. Human Jinchuriki Engines]. Then, he looked kindly at the six trembling little goblins who were so frightened by the terrifying art style of the [Garden of Diseases] that their legs went weak and they lost control of their bladders.

Originally, after Yuan Zhu took them over, they were all unruly and believed that they could seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill them, and regain their freedom.

As a result, I was dragged into a "haunted house". When I saw the gloomy and dark interior with walls covered in vascular roots and the "twin embryos" all over the floor, in the cavity and hanging from the ceiling, my mind went blank and I felt like I was going to die!
When Yuan Zhu dragged them into the demonic realm of the [Garden of Disease], the 'polluting power' that was naturally hostile to all life and full of absolute malice there dragged them directly into a true hell, scaring them into a mental breakdown and leaving them limp and powerless.

In contrast, the other three 'Muscle Shadow Eggplant Spirits', with lifeless eyes and [Brain Eggplants] stuck in their heads, were earnestly practicing their punches. One has to admire them; despite being goblins, their bodies are even weaker. But after receiving [Shadow Irrigation + Strength Enhancement], they were able to resist the oppression of the [Disease Environment] and stand tall, diligently practicing their punches.

This is the difference between ordinary things and corrupted demons.

Yuan Zhu continued to compress the [Holy Light Barrier] in his palm, condensing it into a sharp, curved blade. He then gently sliced ​​open the abdomen of the first 'Healthy Essence', instantly dissecting it.

Before the contents could spill out, he preemptively shoved the spherical [Holy Flask] inside. Then, pressing his large hand against the bleeding wound in his abdomen, he immediately ignited the holy light within the [Soul Crystal].

Target this 'flesh and blood wound' and perform [Holy Mark] Burn + [Holy Light Healing].

In reality, he had no intention of applying the [Holy Mark] to the other party; he was more focused on imagining the scene of 'electric welding' in his mind.

He had lost an arm in a haunted house, and while it was still warm, he picked it up, moved his own stigmata to the broken surface, ignited the holy light to its maximum, and repaired the severed arm by 'thermal welding'.

Because of his successful treatment experience, and because the Holy Light itself has its own 'healing ability', he regarded the goblin's abdominal wound as a 'welding target' and the wound as a 'pseudo-stigma' to be bestowed in the ritual.

To create a [Holy Flask] energy cycle for the goblins.

Through a series of anesthesia-free welding treatments, Yuan Zhu successfully rescued the disemboweled goblin using 'holy light'. Not only was the wound burned and sealed by the holy light, but it also left a permanent, crooked, and constantly glowing red-hot charred scar.

The [Holy Flask] embedded within its body also began to function, treating the goblin as a battery, continuously drawing life force to power the [Flavor], igniting the holy light within, burning the 'disease fuel', releasing more 'holy light particles', and establishing a cycle with itself through the [wound scars].

Once the first test subject was successful, he turned his benevolent gaze to the second goblin who had fainted from fright.
