74: Chapter 74 [Extraordinary Artifact: The Millet-Slicing Cauldron], The Ghost Reaper Under the Dark Night!

As the journey of the Transcendent set sail, his immense ambition was constantly changing. Before, he was merely satisfied with harvesting Blue Star; now, not even the Solar System could satisfy his appetite.

He wanted to look toward the vast sea of stars and spread the Transcendent spark across the entire Universe. He would make countless interstellar civilizations contribute to his path, until he became... the 'Supreme Creator' of the entire Universe!

"Dreams are still worth having; what if they come true by accident?" Jiang Jin chuckled.

With his thoughts reined in, he turned his gaze back to the Invisible Crystal Curtain before him. To verify it, Jiang Jin stepped forward and pulled a stalk of niujin spirit-infused grass from the soil, using his own Transcendent power to crush it.

On an unknown plane, the Soul of the grass, composed of colorless energy light particles, flickered into existence. A few seconds later, the Invisible Crystal Curtain began to operate, absorbing the Soul energy completely.

Through a space-time transmission so subtle it was imperceptible, the converted World Origin points flowed to Jiang Jin.

"The World Origin points collected in reality need something to be stored in." Jiang Jin rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. His eyes brightened; he had thought of a good item!

With a fluctuation of his thoughts, a bronze square tripod, half a man's height and covered in inscriptions of birds and beasts, appeared on the ground.

"The si shu square tripod is the best container for holding World Origin points!" Jiang Jin touched the cold bronze wall, his expression full of satisfaction.

This item, originally a great ritual vessel used by the ancient Great Shang Dynasty to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, fully possessed the status to shoulder this responsibility.

Previously, it had been privately hidden by Wang Zhen in an underground secret chamber. After Jiang Jin obtained it, he stored it in the Singularity Universe along with other precious artifacts. Now, it was time for it to take the stage!

"This is a Mortal Weapon; its rank is still a bit low." As Jiang Jin pondered, he gently stroked it with his palm, and a cluster of dense Spirit Energy Factor flowed into the body of the tripod. Transcendent energy surged, and the main body of the si shu square tripod gradually began to transform.

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Jin infused it with a few more drops of World Origin points.

Hum~ Boom! A metallic resonance, as if breaking free from shackles, vibrated from the tripod. The sound was heavy and ancient, as if an ancient dynasty from thousands of years ago had descended into the world. It resonated with the mind and body, creating a sense of being immersed in a majestic and grand atmosphere.

"[Tier 1 • si shu square tripod], this can be considered the first Transcendent Tool in the world." At this moment, Jiang Jin murmured softly and waved his hand, casting the si shu square tripod into the top of the Invisible Crystal Curtain.

Under a special shielding layer, it gradually disappeared, completely merging with the Invisible Crystal Curtain to become a Transcendent container for storing World Origin points.

Following this, the Invisible Crystal Curtain began to expand, wrapping around the entire Bajiao Peak, making this place a space within the crystal curtain. From now on, as long as any living thing died within Bajiao Peak, its Soul would ultimately be absorbed by the curtain.

The crystal curtain, evolved from over two hundred World Origin points, could only cover Bajiao Peak. To continue expanding outward until it covered the entire globe, it would require the investment of a large amount of World Origin points. Jiang Jin had no worries about this.

The Origin Continent was on the right track, and the remaining World Origin points were enough to quickly cover Blue Star. By then, with the supply of vast Soul energy from both worlds, he would be able to reside behind the scenes, watching the changes of the world and the human realm while leisurely harvesting thousands of races.

After finishing this, it was already afternoon. Jiang Jin returned to the homestay from the backyard and drank some tea for a while. Zhao Ruohan walked over and said that the second batch of rare species collected by Young Master Wang had been transported to the large warehouse at the foot of the mountain.

Putting on a thin jacket, Jiang Jin drove the black Defender and headed to the warehouse with Zhao Ruohan.

...

The next day. Night. Southeast Asia, northern Myanmar.

Under the somewhat gloomy moonlight, eight figures, like phantoms, moved rapidly through the lush jungle. This place was far from human habitation; it was hard to see a living person within tens of miles.

This dense forest was like a primeval jungle, a paradise for wild beasts, but a forbidden zone for humans. Various poisonous creatures and ferocious beasts could be seen everywhere inside. If one were not careful, they could lose their lives to the Yellow Springs, their flesh becoming food for animals and their bones turning into nutrients for the soil.

"Stop!" The man at the very front of the team suddenly made a stop gesture. Everyone immediately scattered around, vigilant against any unknown risks coming from the pitch-black forest.

"Captain Zhou, what is it?" While the other team members stood guard, Lin Shaoyong stepped forward from his position at the rear and communicated in a low voice with Zhou Guanying via the mini-headset worn inside his colonized battle suit.

Zhou Guanying did not speak. His body hidden behind a dead tree, he pointed to a large tree in the distance that was thick enough for four people to embrace. Looking closely, the eyes exposed on his mask held a trace of solemnity. Lin Shaoyong cast his gaze over and indeed detected an unusual aura within the thick tree!

"The Samsara Cult really has something; this should be a type of "genetically modified human", right?" Lin Shaoyong became interested and volunteered: "Captain Zhou, leave this first battle to me. I guarantee to eliminate the hidden danger within ten seconds, without giving these genetic humans a sliver of room to react!"

"Hmm." Zhou Guanying thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "When you handle it, your methods must be clean and swift; don't let any news leak out."

"Understood!"

Responding in a low voice, although Lin Shaoyong was big, his body was more agile than an ordinary cat or leopard when crouched. With the team members hidden in various optimal positions, holding their breath and watching intently, Lin Shaoyong quickly approached through the forest without making a sound, and soon arrived at the base of the giant tree where the anomaly existed.

"Hehe, this opening victory is destined to be sounded by me." Lin Shaoyong's lips curled upward, and he pulled a specialized black dagger with a chilling gleam from his waist. Taking a slight breath, his legs exerted sudden force, and like a sharp arrow, he killed toward a figure beneath the giant tree that had been very cleverly disguised.

Puchi— With a swift strike, before the figure could even react, the dagger, glinting with a sinister cold light, slashed across its neck. Hot blood gushed out, washing the dead branches and leaves on the ground, causing them to drift slightly.

"Captain Zhou, perfectly resolved!"

"Return to the team, we continue moving forward!"

"Received!"

After eliminating this sentry, the eight-man team continued to shuttle into the depths of the dense forest. During this time, they encountered five or six sentries, as well as two teams of outer perimeter patrols. However, under the means of the eight of them, who were all [F++ Grade • Transcendent]s, these people were ruthlessly killed with a single strike without even making a sound.

About ten minutes later, they arrived outside the [Bio-base No. 041]. Crouching and hiding in a dense forest, Zhou Guanying looked back at the team members. His eyes flashed with cold, murderous intent, as well as a touch of long-lost passion. Through the mini-headset, he began to issue combat orders to everyone:

"We will split into two groups to break into [Bio-base No. 041]; Lin Shaoyong and I will each lead three people. I will break in from the front gate, and Lin Shaoyong will break in from the side gate.

Before breaking into the internal area, try not to use firearms to avoid exposure. For any personnel encountered inside the bio-base who show signs of resistance, do not show any mercy; execute them all on the spot!

This is the first mission handed to us by our Master; not to mention completing it perfectly, we must ensure that no Samsara Cult personnel escape from any base!

... Alright, that is the detailed combat order; does anyone have any questions?"

"No!" The other seven answered in a low voice in unison.

"Then I wish us a smooth mission, move out!" As Zhou Guanying's last word fell, the team members quickly hid in their respective positions.

When the pre-arranged time arrived, the groups located in two different positions, with the momentum of phantoms, swiftly eliminated the external guards of the base!

Pulling open the black skull masks of the deceased personnel, they could clearly see their terrifying and creepy distorted faces!!
