Otherworldly-Cultivator

726  Hundred Refining Realm

In the Seven Moon Realm. Xiao Hei, Xiao Huoli, and Xiao Diqiu suddenly sensed two powerful auras enter the realm. The spirit of darkness wasted no time in ordering her sisters to enter the Tianyi Realm, and she moved as fast as lightning to the ruins in the Illusory Forest before sending Ou Yongjie and Jiao Zhixin inside.

Xiao Hei herself did not enter the Tianyi Realm, but instead, she waited for the owner of the two auras to enter the Seven Moon Realm. In a few seconds, she saw Xie Zhongzhu and Mo Zuhuang enter the realm, causing her to frown. 'So, they are the current leaders of the dark race, huh? Back then, they did not appear on the surface, and they controlled Tian Shiwang from behind the scenes, so I don't know for sure about their strength, especially since their sub-realm is limited to their race. I didn't expect that their cultivation had already reached the lower stage of the immortal venerable, so I couldn't possibly face them by myself because our cultivation was equal, and only old loli could face them. However, her strength is declining after she accelerated the aging of this realm, so it is impossible for her to fight with them now."

.

The two people had already arrived at the source of the darkness, and Xie Zhongzhu immediately crouched there for them, but he frowned after his suspicions were proven correct. "The spirit of darkness was in this realm before, but I couldn't sense its presence."

"She is the darkness itself, and she can hide her presence neatly as long as there is a little darkness, so it is natural that everyone can't sense her presence." Mo Zuhuang then looked at the surrounding area. "Husband, don't you think this realm is strange?"

Xie Zhongzhu first injected his darkness qi into the source, causing the darkness to flow faster than before. He immediately stood up and looked around him. "This realm is in the lower realm, so it should still be young, but it looks no less old than the upper realms."

"Do you think the spirit of time did this?" Even though she asked that, Mo Zuhuang seemed doubtful about her own question.

Xie Zhongzhu thought first before answering his wife. "The spirit of time is the only person who can do this kind of thing in this universe, but we both know that her abilities will drain her qi, and that's the reason Tian Shiwang managed to dethrone Long Wang back then. Back then, she managed to reduce our armies to a quarter of their numbers, but she fell into a deep sleep afterward. Had she not run out of Qi, we would never have won that war or taken over the Five Divine Heavens. That's why I'm not sure if she would waste her qi doing such a thing in this realm, especially since I'm certain that Long Wang has returned."

"Husband, the situation in this realm makes me think that Long Wang's reincarnation used to live here, but the spirit of time might have taken him to another realm by now, and his best choice is the middle realms." Xie Zhongzhu nodded in agreement with his wife as he also thought the same. "Since several spirit women appeared in the Azure Mystic Realm, I'm certain that they are hiding somewhere in that realm now. Therefore, you should contact that idiot and order him to focus on searching all corners of that realm."

"All right." Xie Zhongzhu immediately contacted Tian Shiwang and ordered him to do so. Since they escaped this realm, we should return to our sub-realm and let that idiot and his subordinates search."

"Should we destroy this realm?"

"No need." Xie Zhongzhu immediately rejected that. "Even though there are no humans left in this realm, the beasts here are still useful to us, so destroying it would be senseless."

.

"What exactly are they planning? Why do they also need beasts for their goal?" Xiao Hei, who was still hiding in the darkness, wondered to herself.

Xiao Hei did not immediately absorb the darkness again because she was sure that Xie Zhongzhu would immediately notice her actions and he would return to that realm again.

Instead, Xiao Hei entered the Tianyi Realm to discuss the matter with Xiao Shijian. However, due to his inability to investigate the dark race's sub-realm, the spirit of the time chose to ignore it for the time being. She then ordered the spirit of darkness to absorb the dark race's darkness once more.

Even so, Xiao Shijian had some guesses about Xie Zhongzhu's plans in her mind, so she asked Xiao Huoli and Xiao Diqiu to check the other planets in the lower realm to confirm the truth. Moreover, Chen Li would not be coming out of his seclusion anytime soon, so he did not need too much protection.

.

In the Azure Mystic Realm. Xiao Kong'qi, who was hiding in the cave with Chang Tian, suddenly frowned. She had received news from Xiao Shijian about Xie Zhongzhu's suspicion that they were hiding in this realm, and he had ordered Tian Shiwang to search every corner of it. Moreover, the spirit of time also told her that he and his wife had reached the lower immortal venerable, so she forbade her from making a move because she was not their opponent.

"What happened, Senior?"

"Two powerful opponents will probably arrive in this realm soon, and they are not just anyone but the leaders of the dark race." Chang Tian's expression turned serious upon hearing that, but Xiao Kong'qi immediately grabbed his shoulder. "Moreover, they already know that you're on our side, and they have ordered those people to search all over this realm, so we should move now to gather your members. Otherwise, they'll be slaughtered by those people, and I'll move you all to another realm."

"All right, I'll ask them to gather at our secret place so it'll be easier for us to find them."

"That's good." As soon as Xiao Kong'qi brought him out of their hiding place, Chang Tian immediately contacted his subordinates to gather, and he directed her to their secret place.

After hearing the matter, Feng Xian'er, who was still in training with her other sisters, immediately asked Xiao Shijian to bring her to the Azure Mystic Realm. The two of them quickly arrived at her secret place, and Xiao Kong'er was already waiting for them there.

Feng Xian'er immediately led the two spirit women to enter the secret place, surprising Ye Xiaoling. "Why did you suddenly come back here, Xian'er? I thought you would be in seclusion for a few months or years."

"You are not wrong about that, and we were indeed going to be in seclusion for a few months or years, but there has been a critical change in our situation." After that, Feng Xian'er explained their situation to Ye Xiaoling and the others, and they immediately agreed to her plans without any questions.

Unlike the people from the other Seven Moon Realms, Feng Xian'er did not move all of them to the Beast Plane. She asked Xiao Shijian to move some of them to that realm and the rest to the Tianyi Realm, especially the cultivators who had close relationships with them, such as the people from the Di, Huo, and Xue clans.

Xiao Shijian asked Ye Xiaoling to join them in the Beast Plane, and she also asked her to help Huang Xiaolong train them, especially the junior cultivators.

After that day, their situation was completely safe because everyone close to them was already in the Beast Plane and the Tianyi Realm, so they didn't need to think about anything else other than training and cultivating.

Unlike them, Tian Shiwang and the cultivators from the Five Divine Realms continued their search in vain, especially since they never thought that Chen Li was Song Tianyi's sole successor.

After she had traveled for almost two months, Long Sha finally arrived at her next destination, the Hundred Refining Realm. Unlike the other realms, the Hundred Refining Realm was truly chaotic, with countless cultivators from all over the universe gathered there. Noisy sounds continued to reverberate from all corners of the realm, with black smoke nearly covering the sky.

Since the Tianshan Realm continued to move around their universe and they were having difficulty finding its location, those people turned their attention to the Hundred Refining Realm. Most of them came to purchase weapons, other equipment, or artifacts because the realm was a gathering place for blacksmiths and artifact crafters. All of their products were top-notch, only slightly inferior to the Tianshan Realm's.

Although the Hundred Refining Realm was not protected by any formation, no one dared to find trouble with them, including the people from the Five Divine Realms. Even the dark race's darkness could not invade the realm, and the realm could be categorized as the second safest after the Tianshan Realm.

In order not to attract their attention, Long Sha immediately returned to her human form before entering the realm and landing in one of the cities there, but she right away covered her nose with Qi because the unpleasant smells there were too strong for her keen sense of smell. "Tch! This realm is too vast and densely populated by humans, and the smells from their activities make it difficult for me to find Big Sis Jianshu."

However, a woman suddenly appeared behind Long Sha and grabbed her shoulder, causing her to be startled. She immediately turned back and asked. "Who are you?"

"My name is Xian Nu, and my master asked me to pick you up, little dragon."

"Hey! I'm not a little dragon!" Xian Nu ignored her comment and left the area, which annoyed Long Sha. However, she immediately followed behind her as she looked around the area they passed. 'Sigh! I never liked this realm! Big Sis Jinshu shouldn't have hidden in this realm! However, she is a metal dragon, so this realm is the most suitable place for her to hide.'
