A Farmer's Journey To Immortality - Chapter 738: Heavenly Poison Sect’s Separate Dimention

Chapter 738: Heavenly Poison Sect’s Separate Dimention

The inner sect of the Heavenly Poison Sect was located inside a separate dimension the size of a medium–tier city.

Luminous poisonous trees stood in the distance, their leaves glowing with soft green and purple light. Strange mountains shone faintly as well, their rocky surfaces giving off a pale glow like a full moon night.

The light was enough to see clearly, but it felt wrong. Unnatural.

Aksai spread his Spirit Sense. Immediately, he felt movements. They were the movements of living beings.

They were not poison undeads. They were alive. Their heartbeats were steady. Their Spirit signatures were strange and unfamiliar.

“These are not demon beasts from the Dadangar Subcontinent,” Aksai murmured.

He sensed hunting patterns, territories, and layered danger zones. Some creatures fed on poison plants. Others hunted those creatures. Stronger presences ruled over wider areas.

It was a complete food chain, indicating that it was a small but full world. The poisonous wind brushed against his face as distant creatures moved in the shadows.

Aksai straightened his posture.

“This will be interesting.”

Aksai looked at the strange sky of the isolated dimension and decided to move faster. He bent his knees and tried to rise into the air, channeling his Spirit essence to fly.

The moment he did, a heavy wave crashed down on him.

It was invisible, yet crushing.

His Spirit essence shook violently inside his body. Before he could react, most of it went silent, as if it had been wrapped in thick chains. The smooth flow he was used to vanished at once.

Aksai staggered and barely managed to stay on his feet.

“What…?” he muttered.

He checked his cultivation instinctively. His Core Formation realm power was still there, but it felt far away and sealed. The strength he could access felt weak and thin.

It felt like he had dropped back to the late stage of the first Spirit Refining realm.

Aksai let out a low breath.

“So this place suppresses Spirit essence,” he said softly.

Before he could adjust, another problem hit him.

The backlash.

The strain from using three druidic blessings at the same time finally caught up to him. His muscles felt heavy. His legs trembled. His heartbeat slowed, then thumped painfully in his ears.

Fatigue washed over him like a tide.

Aksai took two steps forward and almost fell.

“Bad timing,” he muttered with a bitter smile.

He knew pushing himself now would be stupid. He looked around and spotted a small lake not far away. A twisted tree grew beside it, its leaves glowing faintly with a dull green light.

Aksai walked over slowly and sat down under the tree. He leaned his back against the trunk and closed his eyes for a moment.

“I’ll rest first,” he decided.

After steadying his breathing, he reached into his storage ring. He took out a piece of raw meat from a snake-type demon beast. The meat was thick and dark, still carrying a faint poison aura.

Next, he placed his palm on the ground.

Wooden logs pushed their way out of the soil, shaped roughly but solid enough. Aksai snapped his fingers and sent a weak fire-element Spirit spell into them.

The logs caught fire.

The flames were not strong, but they were enough.

Aksai skewered the meat and held it over the fire. Fat dripped and sizzled as the smell of roasted meat slowly filled the air.

He then took out a jug of Bacchus’ Blessings wine and a few pieces of third order Flesh Pumpkin. He placed them neatly beside him.

When the meat was ready, he took a bite.

Warmth spread through his body.

He ate slowly, chewing carefully, letting the rich energy seep into his flesh. He followed it with bites of the Flesh Pumpkin, its dense vitality filling his muscles. Finally, he took a long sip of the wine.

A soft heat flowed through his veins.

His trembling eased. His breathing grew steady.

A faint golden glow flickered under his skin as his Aurous Qi began to recover.

Aksai leaned back under the glowing tree, staring at the strange lake that reflected the dim light of this midnight world.

“Looks like I’ll need to move carefully here,” he said quietly.

For now, he focused on eating and resting, letting his body recover before facing whatever dangers this isolated world had waiting for him.

A few hours later.

Aksai opened his eyes after some rest. His breathing was calm again, and the heavy weakness in his body had mostly faded. The warm flow of Aurous Qi moved steadily through his muscles and bones.

He stood up and stretched his arms.

“That should be enough,” he said quietly.

He was about to leave the lakeside when a sharp feeling brushed against his senses.

Danger.

Aksai turned his head just in time to see the water near the lake ripple. The bushes on the other side shook violently.

Then something burst out.

A huge poison mink leapt into the air.

It was as large as a medium-sized car from his previous world. Its body was long and thick, covered in dark green fur that gave off a faint toxic mist. Its eyes glowed with a cruel light, and long fangs dripped with black poison.

Before Aksai could fully react, two more minks emerged from the shadows.

Three in total.

They circled him slowly, their low growls mixing with the hiss of poison in the air.

Aksai frowned.

“So this place isn’t peaceful at all,” he muttered.

He tried to gather Spirit essence out of habit, but the familiar suppression pressed down on him at once. The flow broke apart before it could form any spell.

“Tch.”

Aksai gave up on Spirit spells at once.

Instead, he tightened his stance and let his Aurous Qi surge through his body. A soft golden light appeared under his skin, strengthening his muscles and bones.

The first mink attacked.

It charged forward with shocking speed, its massive body shaking the ground. Its jaws opened wide, aiming straight for Aksai’s neck.

Aksai stepped aside at the last moment.

The mink’s fangs slammed into the ground, cracking the stone. Poison splashed everywhere, burning small pits into the earth.

Aksai twisted his waist and drove his fist forward.

His punch landed on the mink’s side.

Boom.

The sound was dull and heavy. Aurous Qi exploded on contact. The mink’s huge body flew sideways and crashed into a tree, snapping it in half.

But before Aksai could follow up, the second mink struck.

It lunged from behind, claws flashing like blades.

Aksai dropped low and swept his leg in a wide arc. His kick hit the mink’s front legs, filled with spinning Aurous Qi.

Crack.

The mink screamed as its legs broke. Its body slammed into the ground, rolling helplessly.

The third mink did not rush in blindly.

It circled faster, then suddenly jumped high into the air. Poison gathered around its mouth as it prepared to spit.

Aksai’s eyes narrowed.

He stomped the ground and pushed off with both legs.

His body shot forward like a cannonball.

Before the mink could release its poison, Aksai reached it. He drove his elbow upward into its jaw, all his Aurous Qi focused into one point.

The mink’s head snapped back.

Aksai followed with a knee strike to its chest, then a palm strike to its throat.

Each move flowed into the next, clean and sharp.

The giant mink fell to the ground and did not move again.

Silence returned to the lakeside.

Aksai stood in place, breathing steadily. The golden glow around his body slowly faded.

He looked at the three massive corpses and shook his head.

“So even without Spirit spells, I’m not helpless,” he said softly.

He wiped the poison mist off his sleeve, stepped around the bodies, and walked away from the lake.

He had barely taken a few steps away from the lake when his body stiffened.

A strange pressure descended without warning.

It did not come from the sky or the ground. It felt as if the space itself had turned heavy. The air around him thickened, pressing against his skin from all sides.

Aksai stopped at once.

His instincts screamed at him to defend, but before he could react, the pressure wrapped fully around his body. It was not violent, yet it was impossible to resist.

Then something else followed.

A cool and sharp sensation seeped into his flesh.

“What…?”

Aksai felt streams of unfamiliar Spirit essence flow into him. It did not enter through his Dantian. Instead, it spread directly into his muscles, bones, and blood. The essence carried a strong poison nature, cold and biting, yet strangely stable.

His body tensed as the energy moved on its own.

The pressure lasted only a few breaths.

As suddenly as it came, it faded away.

Aksai exhaled slowly and looked down at his right arm.

His eyes narrowed.

Around his wrist, a thin green vein had appeared. It stood out clearly against his skin, faintly glowing. The vein pulsed once, then settled into a steady rhythm.
