History Has Fallen Ill

Chapter 91: Transcending Organ Mutation, Jueyin Dragon Cauldron

He moved with a thought, and the Catastrophe Lotus floated up from the Lotus Sutra of the Cataclysmic Sea, traversed the void, and entered his body, merging into his liver, beginning the transformation into a transcendent organ.

No one noticed anything unusual.

Even Qiu Bai, who controlled the Law Domain, failed to detect the flow of catastrophe energy.

The reason for choosing to mutate a transcendent organ was that Jiang Yan now wielded the [Perfection-Level] Vajravārāhī Seal, [Mastery-Level] Heart Monkey Technique, and also possessed [Lawbreaker], the Shadow-Eating Serpent, and various other abilities.

Once he advanced to the high stage of Foundation Establishment, he could seek a corresponding Elemental Qi for the Vajravārāhī Seal and plant a Law Seed.

His offensive and defensive capabilities were already sufficient—surpassing his current stage.

The Cataclysmic Sea spell might be powerful, but to Jiang Yan, it was merely the icing on the cake, not a lifeline in a snowstorm.

Jiang Yan had resigned and returned home to recuperate because of early-stage liver cancer, which was how he began his transcendent path—Ba Lie and the others knew about this.

But since it was only early-stage cancer, even ordinary people could recover, let alone a transcendent. As his strength grew, recovery was natural.

They likely didn’t give it much thought.

However, due to his battle with Fly Boy, Jiang Yan had severely overdrawn his body, causing it to quickly deteriorate into mid-stage. Yet, because his strength increased so rapidly, the spread of cancer cells couldn't keep up and had already stabilized.

Once he advanced to the Law Seed or Ancient Talisman stage, his entire body would be refined, and he would naturally recover.

But for now, it remained a thorn in his throat.

Jiang Yan disliked having such a glaring weakness. Though he could try letting the Dark God Embryo devour and convert it into a descendant—

It wouldn’t necessarily become a transcendent organ-type descendant. It might end up as a skill. Losing an internal organ would affect his balance.

In that case, he would have to waste the Longevity Azure Lotus to re-nurture it.

As for buying a healing item from the official store...

"How could the household have any surplus grain!"

Jiang Yan shook his head helplessly. The house was full of gold-devouring beasts. His bonus hadn't even been issued, and its usage was already planned—he even owed more than he had.

He couldn’t possibly save money by catching and eating Brother Good Food, right?

That’d truly be inhuman!

Ge Xianyao was gazing down at the land when a sudden chill shot up from his tailbone to the back of his head, and he couldn't help but shiver.

“Who’s thinking about me?”

His scalp tingled. He felt an inexplicable, overwhelming malice, as if calamity were imminent. Instinctively, he tightened his clothes.

“Jiang Yan is just at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, while I’ve been at the peak for several months. As long as I advance faster, I can crush him with my realm. Maybe he’ll even have to call me Ancient Talisman True Person!”

Thinking this, Ge Xianyao burst into hearty laughter.

He had made up his mind—once this matter ended, he would go into seclusion.

He wouldn’t come out until he reached the Law Seed stage!

“What’s gotten into that kid?”

Jiang Yan glanced suspiciously but didn’t pay much attention. The transformation of his transcendent organ hadn’t triggered any strange phenomena. In just one incense stick’s time, it was complete.

Boom!

In that instant, Jiang Yan felt the vital energy within his body surging like a great dragon crossing a river—endless. The toxins accumulated in his body over time were absorbed by his liver, making him feel significantly lighter. The Eye of the Cataclysm faintly strengthened.

Zhao Yinman happened to glance at Jiang Yan and felt—

His eyes had become brighter.

Through the Heart Monkey Technique's inner view, Jiang Yan could see his liver glowing dark green, shaped like a dragon—like a coiled Wooden Azure Dragon—radiating vigorous life, regulating his entire body's functions, and commanding all his blood and organs to operate more efficiently.

The Yellow Court Five Viscera Shape-Refining Scripture primarily tempered the five viscera, using the gods of the five viscera as the foundation to open the inner Small Yellow Court, thereby nurturing billions of deities.

The process of tempering the five viscera was extremely difficult and could easily lead to mutation, self-corrosion, or being devoured and replaced by the viscus god.

Thus, there were strict rules regarding the order and steps for tempering the five viscera.

But the Catastrophe Lotus drew from the essence of great calamity and the fate of all beings. It directly bypassed side effects, ignored the sequence, and birthed a complete transcendent organ.

“I guess this could be called Dragon Liver? A common dish on the tables of celestials and gods.”

Jiang Yan joked, and the relevant information was transmitted to his mind.

[Transcendent Organ — Jueyin Dragon Cauldron]

[Description: The liver belongs to wood, corresponds to spring in the east, the sprouting of all things. It governs dispersion, stores blood, regulates Qi flow, and brightens the eyes. The liver meridian is Jueyin.

Due to cancerous mutation, it developed severe illness, but after fusion with the Catastrophe Lotus, it transformed into a special mutated transcendent organ.]

[Abilities]: Mortal and ordinary transcendent toxins are now ineffective against the master of the Dark God Embryo. Immune to all poisons, capable of analyzing and storing toxins. Through smelting, stronger poisons may be produced. When accumulated to a certain level, it can nurture the viscus god of its will extension—King of Filth Dragon.

After mutation, the liver gained infinite proliferation traits. As long as it is not instantly destroyed, it can self-repair, absorb massive energy and catastrophe energy through eating, convert it into “Liver Origin,” and store it.

When consumed, grants rapid regeneration capabilities, repairing minor limb damage outside internal organs. The effect continues evolving as the transcendent organ progresses.]

“Immune to all poisons, regeneration of severed limbs.”

Jiang Yan was astonished. With this, he no longer had to worry about despicable poisoning tricks.

Throughout history, countless experts had fallen victim to poison.

Now, Jiang Yan preferred being the one to administer it himself.

Moreover, some special Diseased Domains might be shrouded in miasma, toxic gas, or corpse poisons—this would save him the cost of antidotes.

As he pondered, golden light flowed over his skin. He cut a ten-centimeter wound on his arm. Before the blood could seep out, he saw the wound healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within a few breaths, no trace of the injury remained.

The price was a small depletion of the liver—after all, it had not yet stored any Liver Origin—but it was already repairing itself, perfectly retaining the cancer cells’ infinite proliferation trait.

Combined with the Shadow-Eating Serpent’s ability to devour life and convert it into vitality, it was in no way inferior to the recovery ability of ghost or god bloodlines.

After all, Xiang Siyu was a Xiang Nu fabricated by the Overlord Diseased Domain—her existence remained uncertain.

But Jiang Yan was real.

And this was just the initial effect. As the transcendent organ evolved, more abilities could be unlocked.

“Just one organ is this powerful. If I could mutate the rest and construct a five-viscera circulation, I might even surpass the true Overlord physique.”

Jiang Yan was hopeful. After all, there was a rumor that the Overlord was the reincarnation of the Warlord Chi You.

That one was on par with the Yellow Emperor—a founding ancestor. The term "commoner among commoners" came from him.

Unfortunately, a complete Catastrophe Lotus required vast catastrophe energy, fate, and resources to nurture—in short, lots of money.

He still needed to earn more and continue deploying the Mirror of the Heaven-Stealing Ghost.

If he could trigger a disaster in a top-tier Diseased Domain like the Silver Dynasty, he’d harvest at least several Catastrophe Lotuses—a windfall.

Water Boy was the lever he used to tip the Silver Dynasty.

As for the third gain...

Jiang Yan looked into the depths of his soul. Within the Chaos Sea, the Spirit of the Chains of the Nine Dragons was the spiritual essence shed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s Dragon of Fate upon casting off its position.

At this moment, the Dragon-Pacifying Nail pierced its body, sealing most of its power.
