Chapter 573: Chapter 317_2

However, these matters were not urgent now.

The key was still how to deceive the Upper Realm.

After securing the battle spoils, Su Ping continued to review the memory information provided by Mu Cangtian.

The good news was that the Biyuan Realm was just one of the many inconspicuous Lower Realms from which the Upper Realm extracted benefits.

Moreover, due to factors such as contamination by evil Qi, the status of the Biyuan Realm in the Upper Realm had become increasingly marginalized.

The bad news, however, was that the entrance of the Immortal Cultivation World into the Biyuan Realm had been quite conspicuous.

To say it hadn’t caught the attention of some interested parties, Su Ping himself didn’t believe it.

At this point, it was only possible to take one step at a time.

The first step was to have Mu Cangtian send back a message, stating that he had conquered the source of this trouble with the help of the Green Sky Swallowing Tiger.

The related opportunity had also been successfully seized.

However, contrary to previous speculation, the opponent was not the genuine Three-color Divine Light, but a fake Divine Light crafted through special timing and geographical advantages.

The secret realm was now under the control of Mu Cangtian.

However, the Green Sky Swallowing Tiger, coveting that opportunity, monopolized the secret realm for secluded cultivation.

In the short term, it would be difficult to bring the opportunity back to the family.

To increase credibility, Su Ping had Mu Cangtian send out some information related to the main peak of Chi Yuan.

It included how Chi Yuan’s main peak had split from the Immortal Cultivation World and then flown back under the self-sacrifice of Immortal Chiyuan.

Naturally, there was no mention of Heavenly Tathagata or the true body of the son of the Evil God involved in the sniping.

Immortal Chiyuan, too, had left Chi Yuan’s main peak at the end, carrying the Evil Spirit-transformed body alone into the Dark Void.

The elder of the Mu Family who received the communication from Mu Cangtian.

Upon learning the news, he was not surprised; he even laughed heartily, indicating that their older generation had actually guessed the outcome long ago.

How could a mere Lower Realm spawn a rare item like the Three-color Divine Light?

It made sense that a fake was produced from a special secret realm with a bit of opportunity.

As for the behavior of the Green Sky Swallowing Tiger.

The elders weren’t particularly concerned about such trivial matters.

After all, the opponent was a split entity of their family’s Guardian Divine Beast.

It wouldn’t be wise to offend the Guardian Divine Beast; complications might arise the next time they needed to borrow its power.

And as the Mu Family gave its approval.

In the upper echelons of the Upper Realm’s top sects, cultivators with an interest in the Biyuan Realm learned more or less about the situation through their own channels.

Upon learning that the Three-color Divine Light was fake, the atmosphere among them became much warmer.

Moreover, rather than worrying about the Biyuan Realm,

Recently, the leaders of the big sects in the Upper Realm.

Also sensed, through their family’s resources, the recent movements of the son of the Evil God and the mega-sized Evil Spirits.

They keenly detected the continually increasing intensity of Evil Qi within the Dark Void.

These leaders did not know that this was a sign of the awakening of the Supreme Mother Goddess as mentioned by the son of the Evil God.

Yet, they all felt a sense of danger emanating from the depths of their souls and the consciousness of the world.

Various self-protection and investigation plans were swiftly underway.

A great deal of high-tier power was so busy that they couldn’t even find time for cultivation.

Let alone pay attention to matters of the Lower Realm.

The matter of the broken Lower Realm returning to the Biyuan Realm, along with the information delivered, merely became a topic of leisurely conversation.

At most, some powerful beings expressed a sincere admiration for Immortal Chiyuan’s incredible deeds!

Despite this, Su Ping knew that such a deception could only delay things for so long.

Just the avatar of the Green Sky Swallowing Tiger alone, which had been obliterated, couldn’t be replaced by Su Ping with a new one.

However, as long as he could get through this period.

Once he had gained a firm foothold in the Biyuan Realm, Su Ping felt he could fully manage to face whatever came his way.

Not only through the Pot Cave Heaven could he regain the chance to use his trump card,

On the other hand, the cultivators from Chi Yuan’s main peak and his own Blood God Secret Realm, after adapting to the new environment, could have breakthroughs that would significantly enhance his side’s combat power.

And by arranging arrays in the Biyuan Palace, he could greatly boost the auxiliary role of his low-tier cultivators.

Not to mention,

Chi Yuan’s main peak had already begun to move slowly, approaching the Biyuan Palace.

Not long after handling things at the Biyuan Palace,

Su Ping discovered that Black Dragon Ao Li was urgently calling him.

Thinking that Ao Li had encountered an ambush in the Ghost King Sect secret realm, Su Ping quickly shared his senses.

But he found Ao Li lying in a cave filled with spirit stones, with at least a hundred spiritual treasures hanging all over him, shimmering with spirit light.

Then what had made this East Sea Dragon Monarch so anxious was a stone that had accidentally come out while he was rolling in the pile of spirit stones.

It was a dull gray stone, the size of an ordinary adult’s fist.

It looked ordinary.

But under Ao Li’s dragon eyes, this small stone contained great terror.

It immediately reminded Ao Li of those mysterious and unpredictable Abyss Monsters.

The shock was so immense that he hurriedly called his master to deal with it.

Su Ping, with the help of Ao Li’s divine power, covered the stone.

He then felt that a shadow creature had been sealed inside the stone.

Su Ping immediately recalled that it had been stimulated by the Demon Suppression Divine Light of the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor and had been transformed into a shadow creature, and was still imprisoned by the Sect Leader of the Ghost King Sect.

It seemed likely that this Sect Leader had gained knowledge of the shadow lineage due to contact with this object.

"This object is related to the Abyss. Do not touch it, look at it, or even think about it."

"Seal and delete the relevant memories as well."

"Then, quickly pack everything up and come back!"

"My lord, Ao Li understands!"

The Black Dragon Ao Li hurriedly nodded, not daring to continue lounging on the bed of spirit stones and spiritual treasures.

He hurriedly used his divine skills to collect all the treasures in the sky.

Immediately after leaving the grotto heaven, he flew swiftly towards Su Ping.

Not long after.

Within the Pot Cave Heaven.

Su Ping had already obtained that ordinary-looking, dusty stone.

Sitting in the main hall of the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor’s divine temple.

In front of the statue of the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor, Su Ping took out the stone, then placed his hand on the smooth, icy surface.

In that instant, a black light flowed from the stone.

Shadows tried to spread, but as soon as they left the surface of the stone,

they were immediately destroyed by the divine light in the main hall.

They didn’t even have a chance to retreat back into the stone.

The divine light even followed the traces and entered the stone.

Suddenly, cracks appeared on the surface of the stone.

The stone then truly became ordinary.

Su Ping lightly chuckled, his divine sense continuing to probe within.

Gradually, he learned the origin of this object.

The stone was just a shell; inside it was hidden a sesame-sized Shadow Gem.

This was a special remnant that appeared only after the accidental fall of a powerful Shadow Noble under the Shadow Lord.

Under certain conditions, this special remnant had a chance to reincarnate and become a new Shadow Noble on someone else’s corpse.

This Small Thousand World encountering this object was not because they had encountered a Shadow Noble in ancient times,

but rather, before being swallowed by the Mother Goddess, while drifting in the sea of time and space,

it was struck by this drifting Shadow Gem, which then caused it to fall into this Biyuan Realm.

Then, its value remained undiscovered until it was found by that Sect Leader of the Ghost King Sect a thousand years later.

This allowed it to see the light of day.

It not only quietly altered the Sect Leader’s constitution,

but also accumulated a small amount of shadow power.

Unfortunately, the opportunity it had been waiting for long,

met Su Ping and turned into nothing.

"This Shadow Gem."

"Seems to have other uses too?"

Su Ping, staying in the main hall without fear of mental contamination, continuously examined the Shadow Gem that had lost its power to resist.

Slowly, as inspiration struck, he gradually realized its uses.

The Shadow Gem could create a shadow space.

That was a copy of the real Shadow World.

In the Shadow World, the power of human hearts would be amplified.

Greed, fear, joy, apprehension, all could be magnified, potentially causing bodily mutations or even transforming into shadow creatures.

But these were not the focus.

The focus was that the Shadow World also produced quite a few valuable items.

It could even accelerate the production of some interesting items.

He could completely use this gem to arrange a special Shadow Ranch!
