Chapter 586: 495 Clue_1

"There’s another possibility that Cai Lei died in the Lower Realm, we just don’t know on which plane his body lies."

Bian Xiao analyzed, thinking of something else he continued, "If Cai Lei really had a contingency plan, finding it won’t be easy, especially after so much time has passed."

"Both the Hundred Spirits Realm and the Tianyuan Realm have Enlightening Pills, which indicates that Cai Lei had several backups. It’s highly likely that the surrounding planes may also bear traces of Cai Lei’s presence; we should start our search from there."

Yin Yue suggested.

"We can’t overlook the Golden Glass Realm, Purple Pupil Realm, Thunderclap Realm, Qingmei Realm, Netherworld, and Qianyang Realm. We have free access to the Golden Glass Realm, Purple Pupil Realm, and Thunderclap Realm, but it’s not going to be easy getting into the Netherworld, Qingmei Realm, and Qianyang Realm."

Bian Xiao said.

Upon witnessing their formidable strength, the Divinity Transformation Cultivators from the Purple Charm Clan, Goldscale Clan, Thunderclap Clan, and Flying Feather Tribe were utterly convinced and dared not defy their orders.

"Let the Purple Charm Clan, Goldscale Clan, and Thunderclap Clan start the search for Cai Lei within their respective realms first! Given the vastness of the human sea, it won’t be easy to find Cai Lei’s contingencies in other planes. We have the ability to descend to the Lower Realm, as do the Human Cultivators from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, so we can’t spread ourselves too thin."

Yin Hao said gravely.

Neither Yin Yue nor Bian Xiao had any objections; they thought the same.

······

The Profound Yin Mountain Range is located in the northwestern part of the Netherworld, stretching for over a hundred thousand miles with intense Yin Qi. The Ghost Tribe has lived here generation after generation.

In the northwestern corner of the mountain range, a colossal golden light shot up into the sky, highly conspicuous.

A silver-gleaming Flying Boat hovered high above, with six individuals, including Huo Tianxing, Shen Long, Wang Yuli, and Cha Sen, standing on it, each with a different expression.

A gold-colored giant beast resembling a rooster stood in the sky, its body covered in a gentle golden halo, with a black-robed elder exuding powerful Yin Qi standing not far away.

The elder was somewhat larger than members of the Human Clan, with dark green eyes and a lethargic aura.

A Cultivator from the Ghost Tribe!

"Fellow Daoist, please stop; I am not your match. I admit defeat," the black-robed elder said, looking tense.

Huo Tianhao took out a green porcelain bottle and threw it to the black-robed elder, saying, "Take this elixir to treat your injuries. We want to know the location of the space nodes leading to the Tianyuan Realm. Beware the consequences of deceiving us are severe."

The black-robed elder pried open the bottle and poured out a few silver pills that were crystal clear.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Huo. I am aware of the space nodes to the Tianyuan Realm. Here is the location," the elder said, flicking his sleeve and sending a golden Jade Slip flying toward Huo Tianxing.

Wang Yuli beckoned with one hand and the Jade Slip landed in her palm, sweeping it with her Divine Sense.

"It’s not too far from here!"

Wang Yuli said.

"We are looking for a cultivator named Cai Lei, who has fled from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. Here is his portrait. If you have any information, notify us. We will reward you handsomely. But if you dare hide anything, there will be no more Ghost Tribe left in the Netherworld."

Huo Tianxing flicked his sleeve, and a cyan scroll flew out, unrolling mid-air to reveal Cai Lei’s portrait.

The black-robed elder glanced at it and shook his head, saying, "I haven’t heard of him, but there are rumors of a Spirit Realm Cultivator’s Zouhua Cave in the Netherworld Cave Heaven that might be what you are looking for."

"A Spirit Realm Cultivator’s Zouhua Cave? Where exactly is it?"

Huo Tianxing inquired further.

"It’s in the Netherworld Cave Heaven. However, over a hundred years ago, Master Guixu and a companion broke the prohibition and took the treasures. Since then, their whereabouts are unknown," the elder explained.

"Master Guixu!"

Huo Tianxing frowned deeply.

"You don’t know the identity of the other person?"

Wang Yuli asked with a frown.

"Not sure. Seems they had a fallout over the treasures and fought fiercely. They failed to kill each other, and that’s how the news leaked out. Otherwise, no one would have known they broke the prohibition," the elder said.

"Junior Sister Wang, you stay here to cooperate with him in the search for Master Guixu. We will head to the Tianyuan Realm,"

Huo Tianxing commanded.

"No problem, leave it to me. Huo Senior Brother, you all should be extra cautious,"

Wang Yuli agreed, handing the golden jade slip to Huo Tianxing before she flew out of the silver Flying Boat.

Huo Tianxing’s Divine Sense swept over it, he nodded, pinched a spell, and the silver Flying Boat shone with a dazzling silver light, disappearing into the sky.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the silver Flying Boat stopped above a vast and boundless black prairie.

Cha Sen brought out a small mirror flickering with golden light and cast a spell into it. The Golden Mirror spewed out a swath of golden light that fell upon a certain void.

Ripples undulated across the void, revealing numerous cracks that continued to expand, forming a gaping hole several zhang in size.

A tall and thin man in a red robe flicked his sleeve, and a red glowing Talisman flew out, accompanied by a spell.

The red Talisman shone with blinding red light, transforming into a brawny man in a red robe, with runes flashing on his body and his eyes hollow.

A beam of red light shot from the man in the red robe’s brow, entering the body of the brawny man, whose gaze began to move, filled with spirit.

"A Rune Soldier at the Divinity Transformation Stage!"

Cha Sen exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with envy.

"Go,"

the man in the red robe directed towards the void, and as he spoke, the runes on the brawny man’s body flared brightly, transforming into a thick red battle armor that protected his entire body. He flew into the void.

After a while, the man in the red robe spoke, "Senior Brother Huo, there is no issue; the Rune Soldier has already arrived in the Tianyuan Realm."

"Let’s go over as well,"

Huo Tianxing said in a grave voice, pinching a spell, and the silver Flying Boat flew into the void.

In the western part of the Tianyuan Realm, amidst a range of verdant rolling mountains, the brawny man in the red robe stood at the top of a peak.

Ripples surged through the void, revealing a large black hole several zhang wide, and a silver Flying Boat flashing with light flew out from the black hole, which then closed up.

"Where is this?"

Huo Tianxing said, frowning.

"Taoist Friend Huo, I am relatively familiar with the Tianyuan Realm. Let me go and scout the area,"

Shen Long offered himself for the task.

Huo Tianxing nodded, and Shen Long turned into a red beam of light, tearing through the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

In less than an hour, Shen Long returned.

"This is the western part of the Tianyuan Realm. I encountered some cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe and Soul Searched them. As expected, the Tianyuan Tribe from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot has sent people to The Lower Realm,"

Shen Long reported with a frown.

When the Tianyuan Tribe launched their counterattack, he had been out, thus narrowly escaping disaster.

"How many Soul Transformation Cultivators have they sent down? What about their cultivation and Divine Skills? What treasures do they possess?"

Huo Tianxing inquired.

"Seven Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators at the Middle Stage. The leader is Yin Hao. Their Divine Skills and treasures, I’m not sure,"

Shen Long replied.

"Seven Divinity Transformation Cultivators! Senior Brother Huo, should we return to the Netherworld and regroup with Junior Sister Wang? It would be safer that way,"

the man in the red robe suggested.

"No need, the four of us can handle them easily; there is no big issue. Let’s head straight to Tianyuan City to deal with the Tianyuan Tribe’s Divinity Transformation Cultivators as soon as possible,"

Huo Tianxing declared, his tone indicating he did not consider the seven Divinity Transformation Cultivators from the Tianyuan Tribe a threat.

The man in the red robe pinched a spell, and the Rune Soldier turned back into a glistening Talisman, flying into his sleeve.

Huo Tianxing pinched a spell, and the silver Flying Boat shone with a dazzling silver light, transforming into an Escape Light that tore through the sky, flying towards Tianyuan City.
