In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar

However, Wang Yan did not let it have its way. He pressed his hands together, and the scorching flame vortex was as if it were being squeezed and forcibly suppressed.

The released power was suppressed, a feeling that drove the Holy Remains Red Eagle to the brink of madness.

"almost."

Looking at the Holy Remains Red Falcon, which was powerless to fight back within the territory, a glint of light flashed in Wang Yan's indifferent eyes.

Using this behemoth as an opponent is enough to prove that the elemental domain I calculated possesses formidable combat power.

Now that the results of the experiment have been obtained, there is no need to continue the experiment.

Wang Yan clenched his fists and slowly brought them together in the center, causing all the elemental forces within his domain to compress towards the center simultaneously.

Wind blades, rock spears, ice cones, lightning chains, vines, water arrows, fireballs... Seven-colored elemental spells surged forth from every corner of the realm like a summoned army, transforming into a destructive torrent that completely engulfed the struggling Holy Remains Red Falcon.

Ten minutes later, as the elemental torrent slowly dissipated, only the charred and mangled body of the giant beast remained in the air, helplessly falling downwards.

Wang Yan slowly exhaled, and the elemental domain around him receded like a tide, with the seven-colored light band and rune array gradually disappearing into the void.

The "Seventy-Two Cyclones" appeared from the void, driving the wind element and supporting Wang Yan's falling body.

He stood in the air, looking down at the falling monster, his expression calm, a faint trace of fatigue... and a very faint trace of joy flashing in his eyes.

The first version of the Elemental Realm did not disappoint him.

When faced with the Holy Relic Scorpion, he could only rely on Falusan.

Now, however, he is able to defeat the Super Sacred Relic Red Eagle, which can prey on Sacred Relic Poison Scorpions, all by himself.

This rate of growth at least did not disgrace his identity as a transmigrator.

Moreover, Wang Yan knew very well that as he learned more and more runes, he would become stronger even faster.

This is the power of knowledge!

……

Ten minutes later.

Dolly's airship is anchored on the sandy beach of the Fragrant Coast.

The crew members disembarked and gathered nearby, discussing the matter.

At their center, the gruesome remains of the rufous eagle lay lifeless on the gravel.

However, judging from its enormous size and the elemental energy that was still dissipating, one could still sense the terror of this behemoth.

"Everyone, stand back a bit. The concentration of its escaping elemental energy is too high; it's bad for your health."

Wang Yan reminded his companions before walking toward the corpse of the Holy Red Falcon.

The guys were very obedient. Putting aside the fact that they had just witnessed Wang Yan shooting down the giant beast in mid-air, they would listen to Wang Yan's status as a scholar of the Academy, even if he said that the beast's elemental power was harmful.

Scholars' right to speak in Sumeru is not entirely due to their power, but more so to their knowledge.

Arriving beside the corpse of the Holy Red Falcon, he crouched down and gently touched the charred and massive shell with his palm, feeling the residual heat and faint fluctuations of elemental power emanating from his fingertips.

"Indeed extraordinary..."

Wang Yan muttered to himself, and then began to examine the items.

【The horizontal ridge with serrated edges】.

This is a common feature of the Holy Relic Beasts, but the patterns on the skeleton of this giant beast are clearly more intricate.

Wang Yan had previously seen the Sacred Relic Scorpion's [horn-patterned ridge], which had strange patterns, like some kind of ancient emblem.

However, the [horn-patterned ridge] of this sacred eagle is somewhat different.

The [horn-patterned ridge] before my eyes is closer to some kind of extremely profound elemental rune.

They are not decorations, but are deeply embedded in the skeletal structure, perfectly matching the elemental flow path of the rufous during its lifetime, as if they were some kind of innate elemental loop.

"This appears to be some kind of rune..."

"Born that way? Or was it artificially modified?"

If Wang Yan encountered such a powerful monster elsewhere, he might not have doubts, but... this is Sumeru, this is a desert.

Upon the appearance of such a monster that transcends ordinary individuals, Wang Yan's immediate reaction was that it was an experimental subject of some forbidden scholars.

Don't ask why I think this way; the answer is that we, in our Sumeru region, have our own unique circumstances.

After collecting and placing the [horn-patterned ridge], Wang Yan took out his personal tools and carefully cut open part of the bone armor and muscle.

As the outer layers of tissue were peeled away, his expression gradually became serious.

This sacred eagle not only has a unique outer shell, but its internal organs also show obvious signs of elementalization: its heart has been replaced by a crystallized fire element core, various fire element patterns are interwoven between the lung lobes, and even some of its bones have a translucent glass-like texture.

This phenomenon is actually the elementalization of the body. The monster with flesh and blood devours a huge amount of elemental power and withstands the backlash of the elemental power, thereby gaining a stronger adaptability and control over the elemental power.

Regarding the previous Sacred Relic Scorpion, Valusan said that if it hadn't been injured, it might have had a chance to break through its lifespan limit and grow into a monster of that level.

However, the scorpion that was the Holy Relic ultimately died at their hands.

However, given the circumstances at the time, even if Wang Yan and Falushan hadn't intervened, the wound on the Sacred Corpse Scorpion's abdomen would have been fatal.

Therefore, it wasn't Wang Yan and Falushan who killed it, but the super holy wrecked eagle in front of them.

"However, if properly extracted, such elemental organs might be used to make top-grade elemental energy-conducting materials; and the runes on the shell... are even more worthy of in-depth study."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yan stood up and looked at the carcass of the giant beast not far away. Dolly was staring longingly at the carcass of the giant beast.

"So much money, so much money..." she murmured unconsciously.

Wang Yan remained silent, then waved his hand: "You should have someone who understands materials, right? Help me process it, and remember to preserve the basic shape of the wreckage."

"Oh, yes, yes, hehe, Scholar Wang Yan, why don't you just sell it to me? I'll offer a high price!" Dolly immediately approached.

Wang Yan looked at her: "I've already removed the [horn-patterned ridge]. How much can you pay for the rest of the materials?"

Dolly glanced at Wang Yan, then at the enormous corpse on the ground, and gritted her teeth: "Five million Mora!"

The surrounding men were all in an uproar.

Five million Mora is an astronomical sum for an ordinary person.

However, Wang Yan just rolled his eyes: "Are you treating me like a shrew? Let alone the materials from this Sacred Remains Red Eagle, even the existence of this monster itself, if given to the Life Theory faction to study, would be worth more than this little bit of money."

There is indeed a shortage of funds among the various schools of thought within the Church of Christ.

But just because a school of thought is short of money doesn't mean that scholars are short of money.

Take Dr. Zakaria, for example. He's a proponent of the life sciences. Does he lack money? He doesn't lack money at all. Putting aside everything else, the toothpaste business alone, which he didn't originally care about, gave him more than ten million Mora in dividends.

So, if such a super-holy wrathful eagle were placed in front of him, wouldn't he be tempted?

"Ahem, how about ten million Mora?" Dolly said with a pitiful expression.

Wang Yan shook his head immediately: "Forget it, just help me collect the materials... um... will they fit on the ship?"

He suddenly realized that the spaceship was about the same size as the Holy Relic Red Falcon. Although birds are smaller in actual size than they appear, there were other cargoes on the spaceship.

Dolly waved her hand: "Don't worry, there are quite a few people living on Fragrant Coast because it's close to a water source. I have connections here, and besides, I have a treasure that the witch gave me!"

"You've got quite a few connections," Wang Yan said, though he was actually a little envious. The witch's treasure, damn it, he really wanted it.

As the two were talking, a troop came from the inland desert direction.

The man who arrived was a dark-skinned middle-aged desert dweller, leading about twenty young desert warriors.

Chapter 163 Goodbye Seno

The desert chieftain glanced at the enormous monster corpse before running up to Dolly: "Wealthy Sangmahabai, the Shahabi tribe welcomes you."

Dolly nodded: "Chief Shahabi, have you seen this monster before?"

She pointed to the hominid corpse on the ground.

“Never seen him before, wealthy old man Bai.” The desert chieftain shook his head, then added, “However, we have notified the Church’s garrison in the desert; they may have some clues.”

"The Imperial College's garrison in the desert?" Wang Yan asked with some doubt after hearing this.

As far as he knew, the only place the Church had a presence in the desert was Aru Village, and then there was the teaching group led by Setare, but they probably didn't have any activities there either.

Dolly explained to him, "It's a faction of the Church called the Nagajuna. The desert people don't understand; they only know that scholars are from the Church."

Wang Yan then realized, "Oh, it was them."

The Nagajuna group, also known as the Salmaniyah group, the Theory Group, etc.

In the game, the traveler came into contact with this cult.

In reality, when Erosan was teaching Wang Yan, she did mention this cult, but she didn't emphasize it, so Wang Yan didn't have a deep impression of it.

However, it is true that the Nagajuna group is a member of the Order of the Church. After the restoration of the Mother Tree of Ten Thousand Kinds, the insidious and treacherous leadership of the Nagajuna group's former leader, Nasena, has fallen into the hands of Nasita.

After all, the flower spirit that Nagaju revered was already part of the grass god's retinue.

"Oh, does Scholar Wang Yan also know about this cult?" Dolly asked with some curiosity.

During her business dealings, she mentioned this desert cult to many scholars; however, for the vast majority of scholars at the cult, this cult was unfamiliar.

Wang Yan nodded: "I've heard some of their ideas, and some of them are quite interesting."

The academic views of the Nagajuna school were very radical compared to other schools of thought in the Chancellery.

For example, some forbidden weapons that the Council of the Faith prohibits from being researched are, in the eyes of Nagaju's group, utter nonsense.

They believed that scholars should risk their lives to protect the transmission of knowledge and firmly believed that "war is the order of Teyvat."

In other words, if they could, they would proactively develop weapons with tremendous power.

As for why that is?

Because the ancestors of the Nagajuna tribe truly experienced the Battle of the Abyss of Kanria five hundred years ago.

The ideas they left to future generations must have included the view that only by possessing great power can one protect oneself.

Of course, it is perhaps this very idea that has led contemporary scholars who have come into contact with the power of the abyss to their rapid decline.

There's nothing I can do; the power of the Abyss is truly immense.

"So we're going to wait for them here?" Wang Yan asked Dolly.

Dolly nodded: "If you don't sell it to me, then it's best to wait for them to come and let them handle it."

"Alright then." Wang Yan nodded.

Meanwhile, Dolly's men were already using tools to dismantle materials from the Sacred Red Falcon.

Although Wang Yan took the [Sichuan-patterned ridge], the other materials on this giant beast, such as feathers, claws, bones, and even flesh, are all excellent extraordinary materials.

These materials all need to be disassembled and stored.

Wang Yan was still a little disappointed. If he had Liyue's cave technology, he could have simply packed up the whole giant beast and taken it away.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

After instructing his crew to be careful of elemental erosion while working, Wang Yan returned to his room on the spaceship and began practicing the "Purification of the Three Karmas Mantra".

The battle just now had taken a heavy toll on him; his physical strength, mental strength, and the power of the angel's blessing had all been depleted to an all-time low.

Sitting on the bed, Wang Yan formed the 'Lotus Mudra' with his hands and chanted the mantra: "Om, Svabhava, Shudha, Sarva, Dharma, Svabhava, Shudha, Ah Han."

At the same time, visualize a pure ray of light pouring in from the top of your head, cleansing your entire body, washing away all the defilement and sins of your body, speech, and mind, making your body and mind as clear as crystal.

Soon, a warm feeling emerged, and Wang Yan felt that his physical fatigue and mental exhaustion were washed away, and even the power of the angel's blessing was rapidly restored.

The "Purification of the Three Karmas Mantra" given by the Little Auspicious Grass King is indeed a very powerful Dharma.

If there were outsiders here, they could even see that Wang Yan was glowing, with a layer of light spreading across his skin.

Two hours later.

Wang Yan released the hand seal, slowly opened his eyes, and his previously slightly tired eyes were now shining brightly, as if he had completely regained his energy.

"Nasita... she really has a lot of good stuff. Joining the Order Institute was definitely the right choice." Wang Yan sighed, then left the room and went to the deck of the spaceship.

Outside the spaceship, a group of people had gathered around the remains of the Holy Relic Red Falcon at some point.

Dolly's crew had finished collecting most of the materials, but the remains of the Holy Relic Red Falcon were still relatively intact and quite large.

This demonstrates that Dolly's cooking skills are indeed superb.

When Wang Yan dissected the sacred remains of the scorpion, he took it apart in a very small way.
