Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 32 The Strength of the Inuyasha World, Human Good and Evil

It was precisely because it sensed this desire that the fragments of the Shikon Jewel were able to autonomously absorb the life force of the surrounding plants and animals to maintain the ancient tree's own life force and help it continue to grow.

just
"This thing is useless to me."

Ye Xuan felt somewhat helpless.

Whether it's a fragment of the Shikon Jewel or the complete Shikon Jewel, it's useless to Ye Xuan. He doesn't have a pure soul like Midori or Kikyo. Using it might temporarily boost his power, but in the long run, he'll likely be affected by the desires within it.

He has a good understanding of himself in this regard.

In the Fox Spirit Matchmaker universe, there is very little room for the growth of spiritual power. Just look at how Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye and the others turned on each other after leaving the circle because of the Black Fox's illusions, with only two of them surviving and returning to the circle.

Although the cultivation system of royal power and hegemony has changed in this world due to the changes in the world, with the improvement of the level of life, spiritual power is also included in it.

However, this does not mean that he can completely ignore the influence of the Shikon Jewel shards.

It might work in the short term, but it's hard to say in the long term.

Moreover, he really didn't think that a mere fragment of the Shikon Jewel could provide him with much of a boost.

Just look at the world of Inuyasha; how many truly powerful demon kings would be interested in the Shikon Jewel?

Not to mention that it's just a fragment of the Shikon Jewel.

But it is, after all, a treasure of the heavens, and it feels like something that is neither worth taking nor worth discarding.

Ye Xuan shook his head, reached out and picked up the fragment. The moment his fingertips touched the fragment, a strange fluctuation spread along his arm.

It was an indescribable allure, as if a voice was whispering in his ear, urging him to absorb and integrate the fragment into his body.

"Come... merge with it... and you will gain unparalleled power..."

The voice was deep and seductive, as if striking the depths of the soul. Ye Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers unconsciously tightened. The light of the fragments seemed to become even more dazzling, as if they had sensed his touch.

"It's just a fragment, yet it dares to claim that it can give me unparalleled power."

"Even a complete Shikon Jewel is not worthy of saying such things."

Ye Xuan scoffed, his tone disdainful, as he loosened and tightened his grip on the Shikon Jewel fragment.

He was just pretending; it actually thought he was interested.

Although the world of Inuyasha has gods and the underworld, frankly speaking, their power level is just so-so.

His current power may be somewhat inferior to that of a true great demon king, but to claim that a mere fragment of the Shikon Jewel grants him unparalleled power is simply laughable.

Ye Xuan did yearn for greater power, but that power, let alone a mere fragment, even the complete Shikon Jewel could not grant him even a fraction of it.

However, based on the strength of the allure of the Shikon Jewel fragments, he also became certain of one thing.

His mental strength is indeed not strong, but this weakness is relative to his physical strength, not because everyone's mental strength is stronger than his.

The reason the Black Fox was able to deceive Wang Quanba and the others with illusions is because it is a Black Fox; if you were to use someone with weaker mental strength, they might not be able to deceive Wang Quanba and the others.

The various demon and human factions within the circle are not without illusion techniques. Wang Quanba's sister is the best example.

However, this only applies to Ye Xuan. If someone else discovers the Shikon Jewel fragments, they will most likely be affected by it.

A pure soul is not something everyone can possess; in fact, Ye Xuan doubted that anyone in this world actually had one.

Humans all have desires; even children are no exception.

In some ways, children's pure desires can even cause more serious consequences than those of adults.

Adults have some concerns, and they will not act recklessly unless their emotions run high; but children do not have these concerns.

Ye Xuan put away the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. Although they were of little use to him, they were nice to keep as a collectible.

Anyone who enjoys anime, novels, and movies will have some degree of collecting desires, and he is no exception.

In the future, if he encounters someone who is also collecting Shikon Jewel shards and who also possesses items that interest him, he can use those items as bargaining chips.

Having found what he wanted, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn't stay in the Misty Hidden Mountains any longer. However, he didn't choose to fly back directly on his sword, but instead walked leisurely towards the rest area.

The process of finding the treasures of the heavens went much more smoothly than he had imagined, and since there was still plenty of time, he could slow down and see if he would encounter any other mutated creatures that might pique his interest.

However, perhaps because Ye Xuan was tainted with the blood of the mutated wild boars and mutated birds he had killed, those mutated creatures would often flee without hesitation after smelling Ye Xuan's scent, and dared not approach him at all.

He didn't care about this, and had no intention of actively hunting those weak mutated creatures.

It is only the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, and the vast majority of mutated creatures are very weak, with low levels of spiritual energy contained in their flesh and blood; no matter how many are hunted, this fact will not change.

It would be better to let them continue to grow in the mountains, become stronger, and have more spiritual energy in their flesh and blood before hunting them down.

His views on mutated organisms are the same as those of the Tian Shu Bureau.

They will be ferocious beasts that kill many humans in the future, and also one of the most precious resources in the era of spiritual energy revival.

Flesh and blood imbued with spiritual energy, bones and fur nourished by spiritual energy, and even every part of the body, all possess considerable value.

The more they kill now, the less they will gain in the future.

As for the large-scale invasion of cities and harm to humans by these mutated creatures after the spiritual energy tide, let's ignore the damage from firearms for now.

Rather than worrying about these mutated creatures far from the city, we should be more concerned about whether pets kept by humans will mutate and then devour their owners.

Not all pets will treat you like a dog; and even dogs can be dangerous and harm their owners.

Back in the rest area, Lin Miao had already prepared a table full of dishes. The rich aroma filled the air, and even someone as determined as Ye Xuan couldn't help but be somewhat distracted.

There's no other reason; the fragrance is just a bit too strong.

It wasn't that he hadn't tasted delicious food before; in fact, due to his family background, he had tasted quite a few delicacies. But he had never smelled such an enticing aroma.

The aroma seemed to have a life of its own, penetrating his nostrils and striking his taste buds, making him feel an involuntary hunger.
