Three days later, Grimm returned to the Blazing Flame Monarch.
Just as President Freid had said, it was not appropriate for him to run around with 500 Sith Origin Substance on him.
In the central continent, there were many Magi who had spent hundreds of years but were still stuck at rank 3. When they found out that Grimm had the Origin Substance that could change their fates, many were willing to take the risk.
Even though Grimm had the support of the Tower Forest Society, this did not stop the Magi who were close to going crazy in order to advance. During this period, even the Crimson Family had to be careful. A few core members of the family lived in seclusion, not stepping out of the Wizard's Pagoda unless there was something important.
This was to avoid being held hostage by those crazy fellows who could threaten the family leader!
Grimm was also forced to use up the Origin Substance and advance to rank 4, cutting off the thoughts of those crazy and greedy fellows. Otherwise, the Crimson Family would never have a day of peace.
Hence, once Grimm returned to the Blazing Flame Monarch, he locked himself in the secret room on the top floor, cutting off all contact with the outside world.
Inside the secret room, Grimm sat cross-legged, five blood-red crystals floating in front of him.
The crystals were the purest, non-elemental diamonds. A strange blood-red energy floated within them.
When Grim first saw this blood-red energy, whether it was the Flame Demon's Heart beating in his chest or the Soul Origin in the depths of his consciousness, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Then, from his limbs, every cell, and every piece of flesh, a voice surged out.
Swallow it …
The voice was very soft and messy at first, but as Grimm stared at the blood-red energy for a long time, the voice gradually converged into a terrifying torrent, crazily colliding and roaring in his body …
Unbeknownst to him, his right hand actually reached out shakily, slowly grabbing the blood-red crystals.
Only when his right hand blocked his line of sight did Grimm realise he had lost control of himself. With great willpower, he forcefully retracted his right hand.
Such a simple action actually caused Grimm, who was at the peak of rank 3, to break out in a cold sweat. Grimm looked within himself, and found that the A.I. Chip's warning notifications had filled the entire space.
"Beep, warning, warning … High energy crystal detected, requesting Host's instruction to begin absorption?"
"Beep, strange force field fluctuation detected … attribute unknown, source unknown, effect unknown …"
"Beep. Detected that the host is in a state of mental confusion. Please indicate whether or not to proceed with mental interference?"
…
A series of warnings were written in bright red words. Unfortunately, Grimm's attention had been completely absorbed by the blood-red energy, so he had turned a deaf ear to the warnings and ignored them. At this moment, Grim quickly recalled what had happened. He could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
That blood-colored energy was probably the Origin Substance!
According to the Magi, they were actually part of the plane's origin that was dispersed from within. They could be said to be the 'blood' that supported the development of a plane and nurtured the growth of new life and materials. In most cases, they were dispersed within the plane, flowing along with the operation of the plane system.
Only when the plane's system was destroyed and the nomological power dispersed could these plane origins manifest, becoming a strange creation that was between a material and incorporeal body. The plane origins that were captured and absorbed into the high-purity, attributeless diamond crystals were the Origin Substance that Magi passed down through word of mouth.
Of course, even if one did not capture these plane origins, they would naturally fuse with other substances in the plane, producing some 'contaminated' Origin Substance.
The greatest value of these Origin Substances was the fragments of laws of the plane they contained.
Any lifeform that absorbed the Origin Substance could comprehend a portion of the laws of the plane. This was undoubtedly a great help to them in comprehending the fundamental laws of the world.
The laws of the world and planes had always been hidden from the senses of the beings of the plane, operating silently. Without the help of these fragments, those with inferior talent or a low affinity with the world would never have the chance to touch upon the truth of the world.
According to the laws of the world, it was impossible for a plane to give birth to a powerful being that surpassed the laws of the world. However, in the actual operation of any system, there would be more or less mistakes, big or small. If these mistakes could not be corrected, terrifying existences like Magi, Gods, and Lords of Calamity would appear.
The reason why the Magus World could produce so many high-ranked Magi and Great Magi was because of their opportunistic and ingenious use of the Origin Substance to surpass the threshold of laws!
As for the origin of these Origin Substances, it was obvious that they came from hostile planes or planes that they had forcibly enslaved and conquered.
Many powerful Magi in the Magus World had left their planes, conquering and enslaving countless planes.
Only the planes with valuable resources would be preserved, providing the Magi with an endless supply of free slaves and inexhaustible resources. As for the planes that lacked resources or resisted too strongly, they would be selectively destroyed and artificially produced Origin Substance.
Such actions had flourished for a time when the Sorcerer World had just risen. However, to avoid attracting the attention of the Titans, the guardians of order in the multiverse, the Sorcerers had curbed their actions of destroying planes and seizing the source substance in recent years.
It was a pity that Magi were like Lords of Calamity, Abyssal Demons, and Mind Flayers. They were classified as evil by many planes, becoming targets of loathing and disdain.
Wizards were born to be a chaotic and evil race.
It was said that in the outer realms, the Magi community was divided into many factions. Some helped the Lords of Calamity stir up trouble and wreak havoc in various planes, while others helped the Titans attack the Lords of Calamity and Abyssal Demons. However, most of them maintained a neutral stance, hiding in their own secret planes and living a peaceful life of research and study.
It was precisely because of the restraint of the Magus faction that the Origin Substance became rarer and rarer, and it became a hot commodity among the Magi community.
Under normal circumstances, it would only be traded with Great Magi who were at least at rank 4.
Only rank 4 Magi who were on good terms with the Great Magi or had direct bloodline descendants would be able to obtain even a tiny bit of Origin Substance. Hence, even in the private treasuries of rank 4 Magi, Origin Substance was definitely one of the top three resources, and it was impossible for them to be taken out to be traded.
If not for the fact that they wanted to avoid being chosen as the executors of a 'sure-death' mission, why would the 14 rank 4 Magi of the scattered Pagoda Forest Association be willing to open their treasury and gather 500 Sith Origin Substance?
"A.I. Chip, search for the method to use Origin Substance!"
[Beep. A total of 12682 items and information related to Origin Substance have been searched in the database … After filtering and filtering, 961 pieces of information have been found that match the Host's current rank … The information listed is as follows …]
As the data flowed into Grimm's mind like a waterfall, he closed his eyes and quickly analysed the information that the A.I. Chip had sorted out, and finally came to a conclusion.
There were three ways to use Origin Substance:
The first was to swallow it in one gulp, and then try his luck, hoping that he would be able to analyse some information that would be useful to him.
This was also the method that most Magi would choose.
The second was to use some sort of spell to seal the Origin Substance in one's body, and then slowly fuse it with one's organs through deep meditation. This way, one would be able to strengthen a special organ that was completely compatible with one's origin.
As for the third method, it was similar to the second. However, one would not choose to fuse with an organ, but a specially chosen powerful magic tool. This way, not only would the magic tool be compatible with one's soul, it would also contain a trace of a strange law.
Grimm had reason to suspect that the demonic sword in Shattered Face Jia Luo's hands had obtained this law.
In order to achieve this, Grimm had to first modify his innate bloodline. Only with a powerful innate bloodline could the power of laws brought about by the Origin Substance be maximised.
After understanding all of this, Grimm did not hesitate to put away the 5 Origin Substances. He then took out a dark blue crystal from his storage ring and fiercely stabbed it into his chest.
The dark blue crystal was about the size of a palm and had a diamond-shaped body. Within it was a drop of viscous liquid that emitted a strong glow of energy.
With a light 'kacha' sound, cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal. Not a single drop of blood flowed out of the wound on Grimm's chest. Instead, the muscles around the wound began to wriggle and contract. Bright red flesh sprouted, completely covering the entire crystal.
These rapidly growing flesh sprouts were like small snakes that crazily wriggled, extending the flesh sprouts into the cracks of the crystal. Countless thin flesh tentacles slowly extended towards the drop of liquid.
The moment the flesh tentacles pierced the drop of liquid, Grimm's body trembled and he finally lost control of himself and fell to the ground, howling in pain.
In the secret room, apart from Grimm's beast-like howls and roars, there was only the creepy sucking sound that could make one's hair stand on end.
Everyone's bloodline talent was something they were born with, and it ran through almost every aspect of the body, spirit, and soul. It could be said to be one of the most basic attributes of humans, and it was very difficult to modify and modify.
However, after tens of thousands of years of research, crazy Magi had managed to develop various methods and techniques to modify and replace their origin bloodline. This had become a way for Magi to strengthen their own battle prowess and widen their path forward!
However, no matter how much they improved and strengthened it, a terrifying method like bloodline replacement could only be mastered by a small number of Magi.
