Chapter 156, Section 155: [The Insect of Jambudvipa]

Chen Sheng walked through the thick nut shell.

With the upgrade of the [Yanfu Insect] level, he no longer needs to bite through the membrane of heaven and earth. As long as he sticks to it, he can escape outwards as easily as a fish in water.

As I left, fragmented scenes flashed by in an instant.

Miaochan Temple, Dragon Palace, Liangshan Marsh, Bianliang (Kaifeng)...

A kind-faced but ruthless monk, three greedy and foolish demons—a bear, a wolf, and a snake—a fierce tiger with wings on its back, a dragon king who controls the corpses of his ancestors, a thunder giant with a body as large as a mountain, an ambitious demon emperor, an Arhat whose golden body dominates the world, and the pinnacle of power where all demons prostrate themselves...

This was the third time Chen Sheng had tried to persuade the Yanfu Fruit to stay, and he was already somewhat used to it.

He remained steadfast in his resolve, persisting until the moment he emerged from the nutshell, at which point all the images that had surfaced in his mind vanished without a trace.

The seemingly empty and deserted void is extremely dangerous. He dared not linger in one place for long. He flapped his wings and fled into the distance at the speed of light. After flying over the treetops and fruits of the Jambudvipa Tree, he landed on the crimson fruit that represented the main world.

This planet-sized fruit is so enormous that its sheer size blocks the view from the other side.

Although Chen Sheng could not see over there, he knew that Fu Fengzi was there.

"Brother Dao, haste makes waste. Please be patient and wait a few more days. I will let you in soon."

Chen Sheng silently murmured something to himself, then lay down on the nutshell of the main world, merging himself into it.

It pierced through the fruit shell, which was hundreds of miles thick, and transformed into an invisible meteor, plunging straight into the Black Mountain Gold Mine.

The moment his clone returned, Chen Sheng shone brightly in the underground space of the Copper Pavilion.

Having previously consumed numerous space-type treasures in the Divine Court World, the transforming potential of the Yama Insect, which had been transformed into this creature, erupted at this moment.

A blinding light burst forth from the Yin spirit, which itself transformed into a writhing ball of light within the white light.

The numerous Daoist imprints within the main body and the clone collided with each other within the ball of light, making a constant clanging sound. Occasionally, when similar imprints touched, they would merge together.

The light continued to shine outwards onto the flesh, which immediately melted into a clump of wriggling fleshy buds.

The fleshy ball, encased in the Yin spirit, was constantly purified by the white light emanating from its center, transforming the essence of its flesh and blood.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth spontaneously converged on this place, and soon formed a huge cocoon as tall as a person on the outside of the flesh ball, enveloping the transformed Chen Sheng inside.

Time passes slowly.

The flesh inside the cocoon was reshaped by the power of the [Yanfu Insect], and the Yin Spirit was also reborn. Both were gradually pulled back to their original forms by an invisible force.

When Chen Sheng's consciousness awoke again from the cocoon, he felt that the space around him was somewhat cramped.

With a gentle struggle, it breaks free from its cocoon, emerging naked and with a robust body.

Even with my eyes closed, the career panel appears in my mind.

However, Chen Sheng did not look at his profession immediately. Instead, he separated a wisp of his will from his Yin God, transformed it into a Yama insect, and fled into the void, flying towards the Divine Court world.

In the world of the Divine Court, the Second Yin God, who possesses the same memories and consciousness as the original body, can handle some affairs on his own, but he cannot cross the world's gap to establish a mental connection with the original body.

Over time, this could lead to a loss of independent will and cause trouble.

The transformation just now took an hour. With a time flow ratio of 1:50 between the two realms, it means that only a few days have passed over there, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Chen Sheng sent another clone to be reborn in the body of the second Yin God in order to take advantage of the ample 1:50 time difference to cultivate the Earthly Fiend Daoist arts and to painstakingly practice the [Eight-Nine Arcane Arts].

Meanwhile, the King of All Demons' profession has not yet reached its maximum level. Only by conquering more territories and ruling more races in that world can he continue to level up.

After undergoing this reincarnation, Chen Sheng finally had time to look at the panel.

……

The transformation is complete, and the profession has changed from [Yanfu Insect] to [Yanfu Adult Insect], but the combat power seems to have remained unchanged.

But Chen Sheng knew that he was an adult.

It has grown from a larva that needs to survive inside a fruit into a mature life form.

From now on, with his [Void Demon Body], he can live directly in the void with his flesh and blood.

In addition, the newly added [Gluttonous Stomach] talent is also a very promising ability.

Just like ordinary fruits have a three-layered structure of peel, flesh and pit, the Jambudvipa Fruit has the membrane of heaven and earth as its outer shell, the heaven and earth and all living beings inside the shell as the fruit, and the core hidden in the deepest part of the fruit as the Jambudvipa Fruit Pit.

The kernel of the Jambudvipa fruit records all the information that has happened in the past within the fruit, containing infinite potential. By consuming its power, one can mass-produce Jambudvipa treasures of this world, revive the dead natives of this world, and obtain all the secrets buried in the dust of history...

If any living being obtains the fruit kernel, it will gain the authority of the world's ruler, enjoy a life so long as to be almost endless, and control the fate of a realm and its inhabitants.

However, Chen Sheng felt that he probably wouldn't be able to eat the fruit pits anytime soon.

Because of the unique talent of the Jambudvipa insect, [Gluttonous Stomach], it only has the ability to digest highly poisonous substances such as the essence of fruit kernels.

As for how to find the extremely well-hidden fruit pit, and the fact that the fruit pit is so hard that no one without a cultivation level of at least the seventh rank can open it, he had not mastered the corresponding abilities.

The size difference between living beings and fruits is enormous; it's not so easy for a tiny being to devour the world.

However, the quality of the [Yanfu Insect] series of professions is indeed extremely high. In addition to the two new talents mentioned above, the power of the previous three talents has also undergone a fundamental change this time.

First, the carrying capacity of [He/She Reincarnation] has been greatly enhanced again. While being able to bring back more things, the clone can also bring back his/her physical body directly. This means that he/she will be able to bring back his/her cultivation of the Dao of Fate in the future.

Subsequently, [Multitasking] now allows Chen Sheng to simultaneously create two clones, each descending into a different fruit and pursuing different powers.

This gave Chen Sheng more options, such as sending clones to be stationed in a world with extremely abundant resources for a long time to manage and harvest regularly.

[Deceive Heaven's Secrets] further enhances the ability of the Deceive Fruit's will, allowing it to carry the souls of others through the membrane of heaven and earth without being detected.

This ability made it easier for Chen Sheng to bring his subordinates from other worlds back to the main world and quickly establish his own power.

"The new abilities added to the old talents are all very useful."

Chen Sheng looked through the entire job panel and found that the [Gang Sha Immortal Lord] and [King of Ten Thousand Demons] he brought back this time were unchanged, as were the previous [Martial Saint] and [Celestial Master] jobs. He then looked at his own cultivation level.

The changes in his destiny path were not significant; he remained at the third tier before reincarnation, except for the addition of a few martial arts unique to the Divine Court world.

In comparison, his sexual cultivation in the Divine Court world for over forty years has progressed by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, he possesses three Daoist arts—[Control of Five Thunders], [Size and Size at Will], and [Insight Through Walls]—that have been cultivated to the fourth rank. He has advanced to the fourth rank and can cultivate into the Thunder Emperor and Lightning Yang God simply by fusing them together, following the path of Wang Wenqing's cultivation back then.

Below the fourth rank, there are also more than a dozen Earthly Fiend Daoist arts that have been cultivated to the maximum level, as well as unique Daoist arts from the Longevity Daoist Canon.

With such cultivation, even disregarding the fifth-tier combat power of a Golden Arhat, the Sea-Stabilizing Needle and the various class-specific enhancements to Chen Sheng's strength, his abilities would rank among the top in the fourth tier...

After briefly summarizing his gains from this reincarnation, Chen Sheng got up and walked out of the secluded room where he had been in seclusion.

As he moved, a golden Arhat emerged from his spiritual platform and naturally merged with his Yin spirit, regaining his overwhelming power in the divine realm.

The remaining 108 evil spirits were placed in the spirit platform for future use.

Chen Sheng opened the door to the secret chamber, climbed the steps one by one to the towering bronze pavilion, and looked at his foundation in the main world.

After a year of development, the entire gold mine has been completely transformed.

The original square was expanded, and rows of neat houses were built, with a small training area outside each row of houses.

At this moment, the sun was blazing overhead.

Tens of thousands of teenagers, dressed only in shorts and tops, were sweating profusely under the sun, practicing boxing and swordsmanship in groups, or meditating with their eyes closed to endure the sweltering heat...

Thanks to the divine magic, the nearly 30,000 teenagers in the gold mine have now fully recovered their health.

Furthermore, with the rich arsenal of martial arts and training experience that Chen Sheng had amassed from several realms, the young students were taught according to their individual talents and aptitudes, choosing one of dozens of different types of first-realm martial arts to cultivate.

With the Yellow Turban Warriors mining for them, they only did four things every day: reading, practicing martial arts, eating, and worshipping gods, and had already established a certain foundation.

Meanwhile, some naturally gifted and strong-willed youths were trained to cultivate Taoist arts.

A few people who are too dull-witted, who cannot even learn to read and write well, can do odd jobs, which is a way out.

Because they had suffered so much, these young people were often extremely devout. The incense and faith contributed by 30,000 people were so strong that the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat, the deity of the Black Mountain Land, was elevated to the second rank.

However, Chen Sheng was not entirely satisfied with the current thriving scene in the gold mine.

He felt that their cultivation speed was too slow and they couldn't keep up with his pace at all.

"Forget it, based on my rich experience in rebellion from several reincarnations, if a force wants to expand rapidly, capturing people is still the fastest way."

With the evil spirits of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner causing chaos, the main world is about to descend into turmoil again. At that time, I can use the Golden Hoop Curse to directly capture some highly skilled individuals to serve me.

In addition, when the clone returns after reincarnation, it can also bring back some excellent subordinates, who can also be used.

As for these young men from Nantong, a few can be promoted later, after they have governed enough subjects, using the method of "promoting subordinates," as a form of preferential treatment for those who followed the emperor.

The chaos that Chen Sheng longed for was one of the factors that led him to choose to return to the capital ahead of schedule.

Just a few hours ago, his spies, whom he had hidden among the evil spirits of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, all sent him a message saying:

I just received a message from several Thunder Tribulation Realm evil spirits saying that they have been infiltrating the Great Xia for several months and are currently secretly plotting to sacrifice all the subjects of the Great Xia. They want to use a fifth-order world-breaking magic artifact bestowed by Fu Fengzi to open the gate of the celestial membrane from the inside and forcibly summon their master in, and so on...

By gathering fragmented information from various evil spirits, Chen Sheng quickly pieced together the whole picture of the incident.

Three and a half years ago, after discovering the eye of the Heavenly Membrane Worm that he had bitten out and which had not yet fully healed, Fu Fengzi sent his subordinates to invade this realm.

At that time, the five Thunder Tribulation Realm evil spirits that were the only ones in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had carried out a large-scale massacre in the Great Spring Kingdom in the east when they first descended.

Because they primarily practiced underworld-type Daoist arts derived from the fusion of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques, after forming the Five Directions Ghost King Formation, the combined power of their Daoist arts, along with the support of that fifth-tier magic artifact, made them virtually invincible in the Great Spring Kingdom.

They conquered cities one after another, and the start was extremely smooth.

However, just as they were feeling triumphant, the experts of the Great Spring Kingdom used the seven secret treasures of the Yama Kingdom to create a powerful Azure Dragon Guardian Array.

The Five Ghosts were trapped inside the formation for more than two years before they finally managed to escape.

Afterwards, the Five Ghosts, who had fled to the Great Xia Kingdom, still harbored evil intentions and wanted to carry out a blood sacrifice.

Having learned from their previous failures, they decided to first steal one of the country's protective treasures, destroy the protective formation, and then officially take action.

The reason they notified the evil spirits lurking in their own country was to gather information from all sides and determine the location of the secret treasure of Jambudvipa as soon as possible.

While you're at it, choose the easiest target to attack and seize the Yamafu Treasure as soon as possible.

This invasion has dragged on for far too long, so long that Fufengzi, who is guarding outside the membrane of heaven and earth, is getting impatient, and the evil spirits are under immense pressure.

This change in the situation left Chen Sheng with no choice but to return.

After all, facing Fu Fengzi, a fifth-level cultivator from the Central Great World, he, relying on his Arhat Golden Body to show off his power, was not actually confident of victory.

The wise choice is to eliminate the opponent's pieces placed within the fruit as quickly as possible.

After returning, Chen Sheng had another idea in mind.

"The twenty-eight secret treasures of the main world can be combined to form a protective array. If I could control them, could I kill Fufengzi?"

Just as he was lost in thought, a message suddenly came back through the binding spell.

"The Five Ghosts have already decided that what they want to scheme for this time is still the Emperor's Golden Carrying Pole."
