Chapter 477: Dark Current_1

Qin Country, Spirit Control Sect.

In a tranquil manor, Shen Long, Red Flood Dragon True Person, and Ice Silkworm True Person sat around a cyan stone table, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"You should go to the Southern Border to seek your fate! If a battle really breaks out, we’re here, and if we can’t hold on, we’ll send someone to the Southern Border to find you."

Ice Silkworm True Person said.

"Indeed! Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Brother Liu are still at the headquarters, we’re not short of hands. You should go to the Southern Border first to seek your opportunity, taking a few disciples with you. They can be of help, or more importantly, we might not even come to blows."

Red Flood Dragon True Person suggested.

It wasn’t certain that the Human Clan would go to war with the Barbarian Tribe, and even if they did, Red Flood Dragon True Person, Ice Silkworm True Person, Liu Zi’an, and Yuan Rui could all lead teams to battle. If they couldn’t withstand the enemy, they could send someone to the Southern Border to notify Shen Long.

"Alright! I’ll leave this side to you then. If the scale of the conflict becomes large, send someone to the Southern Border to inform me."

Shen Long said.

Red Flood Dragon True Person and Ice Silkworm True Person agreed, chatted for a while longer, and then Shen Long headed back to Golden Roc Peak.

Shen Long had already instructed Chen Xiao to select a batch of disciples who would accompany him to the Southern Border Cultivation World tomorrow.

Shen Long entered the practice room, sat down on the meditation cushion, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

...

In the Cultivation World of the Northern Sea, an extensive azure expanse stretched out to the horizon.

A deserted island erupted with a huge golden mushroom cloud, the shockwaves rolling across the sea,

In the center of the desert island, Taishi Jin lay on the ground, his skin and flesh a bloody blur, clearly exposing his white bones.

Taishi Jin had been exterminating Nascent Soul Cultivators everywhere to plunder cultivation resources. During his attack on a family with the surname Sun, he encountered the Great Elder of the Su Family, Su Hailong, who passed by and directly injured Taishi Jin.

Taishi Jin used a secret technique to escape but was still caught up with.

"It seems that the Nascent Soul Cultivators who vanished mysteriously in recent years were killed by you. You cannot be allowed to live."

A burly man in blue robes said with a murderous look on his face.

Two men and a woman stood nearby, their expressions cold and detached.

"Don’t kill me, I know many secrets. I can work for you."

Taishi Jin pleaded.

"Hmph, do we not know how to Soul Search? Today is the day you die."

The man in the blue robe scoffed and was about to deliver a fatal blow.

"That might not necessarily be the case!"

A cold male voice came from the sky.

As soon as the voice fell, violent winds arose, and an inky black ghost claw appeared out of nowhere above the man in blue robes, swooping down towards him.

Just as the man in blue robes was about to dodge, a shrill ghostly wail rang out, causing him to suddenly feel weak and powerless.

The black ghost claw easily pierced through the man in blue robes’ Protective Spirit Light, and he felt a chill in his chest as the ghost claw pierced through it. His body emitted a burst of blue light, transforming into a shimmering talisman, a Tribulation-Substituting Talisman.

With a muffled sound, the Tribulation-Substituting Talisman self-ignited, turning to ash.

Tens of miles away, a blue light shone, and the man in blue robes reappeared, his expression full of terror.

"A Soul Transformation Cultivator!"

The man in blue robes exclaimed, knowing that only a Soul Transformation Cultivator could easily breach the defense of a Spiritual Treasure.

With a flash of black light, a tower flashing with black light appeared above the man in blue robes. The surface of the tower was adorned with many gruesome skull heads that seemed alive, opening and closing their jaws, emitting eerie ghostly wails.

Upon hearing the ghostly wails, the man in blue robes felt dizzy and weak, unable to even stand steadily.

The black tower emitted a black halo, enveloping the four people in blue robes and drawing them into the tower.

Witnessing this scene, Taishi Jin was utterly shocked.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Huangfu Lou appeared above Taishi Jin.

"Thank you, Senior, for your timely rescue. I, Taishi Jin, am willing to offer my humble services."

Taishi Jin spoke with gratitude, his tone weak.

"Demonic Qi! You are from the Demon Race! How did you get here? Think carefully before you answer, you only have one chance to deceive me."

Huangfu Lou asked in a deep voice.

Taishi Jin pondered for a moment before telling the truth.

"Seven Stars True Monarch! Dark Demon Realm!"

Huangfu Yu frowned and landed in front of Taishi Jin, saying, "Cooperate with my Soul Search, so you don’t have to suffer."

His right hand radiated a great black light, placed upon Taishi Jin’s head, and Taishi Jin cooperatively complied.

After a while, Huangfu Yu withdrew his hand and said, "You indeed did not deceive me. From now on, you will work for me! I need to create a spatial passage to the Netherworld, and you are an Array Master, just the person to help set up the Formation. But before that, you need to recover your Cultivation. Nascent Soul Stage is still too weak."

"The younger generation is but a remnant soul, my Divine Soul is incomplete, and I can’t recover my Cultivation."

Taishi Jin said with a bitter smile.

To recover his Cultivation, his Divine Soul had to be restored to its prime. If this were not a requirement, the Cultivation Realm would have been in chaos long ago. It was precisely because of this that he had been attacking Nascent Soul Cultivators everywhere, searching for Miracle Elixirs to strengthen his Divine Soul.

"I have Miracle Elixirs that can strengthen the Divine Soul. But before that, I need to plant a restraining spell on you to help me open the realm portal. Do whatever you want; I am not interested in meddling, but if you try to trick me, you will die."

Huangfu Lou’s tone was ice cold.

"Yes, Senior, the junior will definitely follow your orders without divergence."

Taishi Jin readily agreed.

Huangfu Lou placed multiple sets of restraints on Taishi Jin and with a single gesture, a black tower rapidly shrank and flew back into his sleeve.

"Let’s go! We can’t stay here."

With a flick of his sleeve, Huangfu Lou hastily stirred up a gust of dark wind that engulfed Taishi Jin and took them away from the area.

······

Southern Border, Golden Toad Mountain.

A blue Escape Light appeared in the distant sky and momentarily stopped.

When the Escape Light dissipated, a blue Flying Boat over ten zhang in length appeared, with Shen Long, Su Changfeng, Liu Yuruo, Xu Feng, Ning Qianqian, and over a hundred other Cultivators standing on it.

Shen Long brought along Su Changfeng and twelve other Core Formation Cultivators, in addition to over a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"This is Golden Toad Mountain?"

Full of curiosity, Su Changfeng asked, for it was his first visit to the Southern Border Cultivation World.

Shen Long took Su Changfeng not just for experience but also to keep him from being entangled in the battles.

Since Su Changfeng began cultivating, he had never been in a life-or-death spell battle. Sending him to fight Barbarian Cultivators would have been sending him to his death.

With a gesture, Shen Long brought down the blue Flying Boat gently to the ground, and Liu Yuruo and the others stepped down.

Shen Long tucked away the blue Flying Boat and headed towards Golden Toad Mountain, with Liu Yuruo and the others quickly following behind.

Before long, they appeared on a spacious and clean street, attracting the attention of many Cultivators.

"Those are disciples from the Spirit Control Sect, led by Senior Shen himself."

"Senior Shen? Spirit Control Sect? Never heard of it. What’s their story?"

"The Senior Shen who single-handedly killed the Profound Yin Ghost Mother! You don’t know about that?"

The Cultivators burst into a buzz of discussion, full of curiosity.

It was their first time seeing so many Cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect traveling together, and even more so the first time laying eyes on Shen Long.

Shen Long and his group had not walked much farther when a tall, slim man in red and a woman in a golden dress approached them.

The man in red bowed to Shen Long and said, "Junior Shangguan Yunshuo. The Jade Dragon Ancestor has heard of Senior Shen’s arrival at Golden Toad Mountain and would like to invite you over to catch up. I have already found a place for you to stay."

"Lead the way!"

Shen Long instructed.

Shangguan Yunshuo acknowledged and led Shen Long away, while the woman in the golden dress took Su Changfeng and the others down to rest.
