Chapter 2380: Divine Thunder Transforms the Pellet

Jiang Luofu quickly spoke while surveying her surroundings. "My teacher and I once studied some ancient matters. Although very little information remains, we inferred that that era was far more powerful than ours. Now, it seems our deduction was correct."

Sarame was also quite shocked. Initially, she had always believed the cultivation world was too weak. Although Zu An was powerful, other beings were far inferior to the experts of the Demon World. She had wondered why her father had met such a fate after attacking what seemed like such a weak world.

Now, it was clear why this world could make her father, with his elite army, wage war for so many years. This world was indeed powerful enough.

Mogard gazed around, his expression also somewhat agitated. "This is indeed the cultivation world from back then. I followed my old master in the invasion here; I couldn't possibly be mistaken."

Only then did Zu An remember that Mogard was also an elder. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard the Historian of Ages speak. "Esteemed Regent, I have matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave now. I trust we will have the chance to meet again someday."

Zu An was momentarily stunned. "Where are you going?"

The Historian of Ages smiled slightly. "To record the most important protagonists of this world, of course."

Zu An was speechless.

He understood the Historian's implication. Although he was the protagonist of his previous world, having just arrived in this one, he was far from being a significant figure here. The Historian was clearly going to record the prominent individuals of this particular world.

Considering this, who could be more prominent than the Lord of Slaughter, the Lord of Demons, or the original leaders of this world?

With this thought, he said in a low voice, "If you go to see the Lord of Slaughter and the Lord of Demons, what if you tell them what happens later?"

Especially if the Lord of Slaughter and the Lord of Demons knew they would directly or indirectly die by his hand in the future, wouldn't they fight him to their last breath?

The Historian of Ages understood his concern. He bowed and explained, "Your Excellency need not worry. We, the Historians of Ages, do not interfere with or alter the main timeline of the world. Should we do so, I myself would be destroyed by the backlash from heaven and earth. Furthermore, given our unique nature, the Lord of Slaughter and others will not even be aware of my existence. I merely record everything silently from the shadows."

Zu An nodded slightly. From his previous interactions with the Historian, he had a general understanding of how they operated. The incident where 'Donal' was framed, in retrospect, was a pure accident; the Historian had not known 'Donal's' true identity at the time and had suffered a backlash because of it. Otherwise, given his mysterious nature, he would never have been known by so many people.

At this moment, Sarame quickly said, "Take me with you!"

This world was so vast; how could she possibly find her father on her own?

And from the Historian of Ages' recent words, it was clear he could easily sense others.

To her surprise, the Historian of Ages flat-out refused. "Young Lady, you must have heard what I just said. If I were to take you to see the Lord of Slaughter, wouldn't that interfere with the development of the world's main timeline? Furthermore, I am not a corporeal being, so you would be unable to follow me."

As he spoke, his entire form gradually faded, then, with a gust of wind, he simply dispersed into the world.

Sarame gritted her teeth in anger. That Historian of Ages was a scoundrel, too; he made it sound so noble, but wasn't he just afraid of offending Zu An?

Just then, she felt the sky in front of her suddenly darken. She looked up and saw that Zu An had already appeared before her. "Now that I've brought you to this world as promised, it's time for you to tell me how to cure the Congenital Poisonous Saint Body."

Sarame scoffed. "How can I be sure you'll let me go?"

"If I promised to release you, I will. Do not test my patience," Zu An said, staring coldly at her.

Sarame shivered all over, involuntarily recalling the terrifying world Zu An had made her experience earlier.

At this point, Mogard also chimed in, advising her. "Young Lady, as the master of a world, the Regent surely will not break his oath. Just tell him."

Sarame, using this as an excuse to yield, gave a soft snort. "Very well, I'll tell you then."

"Although I don't know the exact cure for the Congenital Poisonous Saint Body," she quickly added, seeing his eyebrow raise, "I do know a solution for another similar constitution, and I believe it should be applicable."

This time, she didn't dare to keep him in suspense and quickly continued, "Some cultivators in immortal cultivation worlds condense inner cores. Therefore, this constitution can fully utilize immortal cultivation techniques to form an inner core within the body. During this process, all the toxins in the body will be concentrated into that core."

"After forming the core, one can not only retain all the heaven-defying abilities of this constitution but also avoid being affected by its disadvantages."

Zu An's heart stirred. With his current knowledge, he could tell this indeed had a certain feasibility.

Sarame continued, observing his expression, "However, to condense the toxins into an inner core within the body, besides some cultivation techniques from immortal cultivation worlds, you'll also need the aid of many rare materials. These include the Heaven-Defying Spirit Tears, Glazed Hairpin Flowers, and the crystal core of an Aurora Poison Dragon. I know that the last Aurora Poison Dragon in this world should be alive in this era, and Glazed Hairpin Flowers seem to have appeared in this world too. That's why I said before that I would tell you once we reached this world."

"Aurora Poison Dragon?" Zu An frowned slightly. He hadn't heard of Glazed Hairpin Flowers, but he vaguely recalled Shang Hongyu mentioning the Aurora Poison Dragon when he had impersonated the Dragon King in the Dragon Palace. However, he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time and hadn't inquired further.

It seemed Sarame wasn't deceiving him with what she said.

He then asked, "What are the Heaven-Defying Spirit Tears? And where can they be obtained?"

"I only know the name of this treasure; I don't know what it looks like or what its specific uses are," Sarame added. "However, you can seek out cosmic merchants in the future; they might know."

"Cosmic merchants?" Zu An was slightly taken aback.

"They are merchants who travel through the myriad realms," Sarame explained. "As long as you can afford the price, you can buy anything you desire. Their most prominent characteristic is extreme greed. In comparison, they are not as mysterious or secretive as the Historians of Ages. Generally speaking, most major worlds welcome cosmic merchants, as they can bring special items from other worlds."

Zu An's mind stirred. If cosmic merchants had such extensive networks, then besides the Heaven-Defying Spirit Tears, could he also obtain the materials needed to reconstruct Mi Li's physical body through them?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. "Then why have we never heard of cosmic merchants coming to our world?"

"Presumably, your world was too weak before, and cosmic merchants found no profit here," Mogard helped explain. Seeing the darkening expressions on their faces, he quickly added, "Of course, it could also be that your world is too mysterious, and its coordinates haven't been mastered by other worlds yet, so cosmic merchants couldn't get here."

"For example, in our Demon World, cosmic merchants used to visit during our peak. But after the invasion of the Doomsday Beasts, no cosmic merchants have come since."

Zu An fell into thought. It seemed both possibilities were plausible. He should have opportunities to interact with cosmic merchants once he came into contact with more powerful worlds in the future.

At this point, Sarame continued, "Because the Congenital Poisonous Saint Body is so powerful, transforming this constitution into an inner core is completely defying the heavens. Therefore, in addition to the materials I just mentioned, it will require tempering with at least three types of special divine lightning. Ordinary cultivators can easily be annihilated when undergoing a single heavenly tribulation lightning strike, and the power of special divine lightning far surpasses that of ordinary lightning. So, you must be mentally prepared."

Zu An understood her meaning. A normal heavenly tribulation was already extremely dangerous, yet Ji Xiaoxi would have to undergo the baptism of even more powerful, special divine lightning, and three times at that. This was practically a death sentence.

Ji Xiaoxi's small face turned pale, but she quickly composed herself and comforted Zu An. "Brother Zu, you don't need to worry about me. You've already helped me suppress that constitution before, so perhaps it won't ever flare up in my lifetime."
