Chapter 801: 710 The Lower Realm Talent Cultivation Base

Fallen Immortal Ruins was a notorious dangerous area on Thunder Continent and also an ancient battlefield for cultivators, with many powerful restrictions left behind. Even a Mahayana Cultivator might perish if they triggered a powerful restriction.

Deep within the Fallen Immortal Ruins, a huge golden light soared into the sky, reaching into the clouds, highly conspicuous.

As the golden light dispersed, three men and one woman stood atop a low hillock, their brows deeply furrowed.

Not far away, there was a huge hole in the ground, smoldering with black smoke. In the distance, one could see a mountain with steep peaks; above the peaks was a hazy area, where one could spot some faintly visible cracks. Some of the cracks even moved, as if alive.

"She actually escaped, her escape technique is so mysterious."

A burly man in a golden shirt furrowed his brow as he spoke.

"Jin Hao, shall we continue the chase? We’ve already lost three of our clan members to the restrictions."

A voluptuous woman in a yellow dress said with tightly knit brows, contemplating retreat.

The restrictions in Fallen Immortal Ruins were numerous. Their group of seven had chased Fairy Jade Lotus into the Fallen Immortal Ruins, resulting in the deaths of three Body Integration Realm cultivators from the Five Lights Clan at the hands of the restrictions.

"She has also been seriously injured and has used up her Tribulation-Substituting Treasure; this is the best chance to deal with her. How can we return and face the clan leader if we go back now? Bringing back that item would be a great achievement. On the other hand, if we return empty-handed, we will definitely face dire consequences,"

Jin Hao said sternly.

"We’ve chased her this far, it would indeed be a pity to give up. She has been struck by a strange poison, and even with a Top Grade Elixir, she would need to rest and recuperate for some time before fully recovering. We cannot give her time to recover. If we miss this chance, it will be difficult to find her again,"

a tall and thin man in a green robe analyzed.

"Mo Shan is right, let’s continue the chase! In the upcoming journey, everyone needs to be more cautious. The restrictions in Fallen Immortal Ruins have slain Mahayana Cultivators before. Although it was many years ago, we cannot afford to be careless now,"

Jin Hao said in a deep voice; they applied several layers of defense to themselves and flew forward, though not at a fast pace.

A short while later, they had disappeared into an expansive Green Bamboo Forest.

······

"Qianyang Realm, Northern Sea Cultivation Realm.

A vast island with numerous buildings bustled with activity, as many Spirt Control Sect cultivators busied themselves, presenting a hectic scene.

In the northwest corner of the island, in a splendid golden palace, Shen Long sat in the main seat, with Li Yu reporting to him."

Uncle Shen, the formations have all been set up; disciples will now be stationed on Spirt Control Island year-round,"

Li Yu said.

Near Spirt Control Island was a Secret Realm, whose Cultivation Resources were not considered to be precious.

Shen Long had brought numerous resources down to The Lower Realm, including Spirit Medicine Seeds, the Millennium Spirit Eye Tree, fifth-level Formations, Spiritual Beasts and Insects, and more.

At his command, Li Yu, leading the Array Masters of the Spirt Control Sect, had transformed three Secret Realms and installed fifth-level Formations within them.

Li Yu was a fifth-level Array Master. Shen Long had handed the Array Setting materials over to Li Yu, instructing her to set up fifth-level Formations in the three Secret Realms and to power the formations with Top Grade Spirit Stones.

Frankly speaking, even ten Soul Transformation Cultivators working together might not be able to break through the Formations; free entry and exit were only possible with the key.

No matter how many resources Shen Long brought down, eventually they would run out; sustainable development was the key principle.

He had brought down ten types of Spirit Fruit trees assisting in achieving the Divinity Transformation Stage, as well as nine types of life-extending Spirit Fruit trees, each with different maturation periods and lifespans.

There were no fewer than fifty types of Spirit Wood, suitable for Artifact Refining or Array Setting, and thousands of types of Spiritual Medicines.

Besides these, he had also brought fifty lower-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures; just to break through the realms, he possessed three Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures alone, as well as a large batch of fifth-level Refining Materials. There was also a considerable quantity of Spiritual Beasts, Insects, and Birds.

The resources he brought could increase the strength of the Spirt Control Sect a hundredfold. However, as long as there wasn’t any major event in The Lower Realm, it was sufficient just to ensure a steady emergence of Soul Transformation Cultivators within the Spirt Control Sect.

"There’s no need to station people at the entrance of the Secret Realm year-round. Ten Soul Transformation Cultivators would find it difficult to break the Formation; just keep the key safe,"

Shen Long said.

With these three secret realms, the Spirit Control Sect will not need to worry about resources for their surge to the Divinity Transformation Stage for tens of thousands of years.

For safety’s sake, each secret realm’s key is divided into two parts: one to open the entrance and another to open the control hub’s restrictions. The most precious resources are all within the control hub.

Even if one key is lost, outsiders would still have difficulty accessing the resources of the control hub.

"We have no small number of disciples in the Spirit Control Sect, so this can be considered giving them something to do."

Li Yu respectfully said.

Shen Long brought down a lower-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Thousand Beast Tower, which could conjure monster beasts to attack those attempting to pass through; it could conjure up to rank five late-stage monster beasts.

The Spirit Control Sect added a new sect rule: Soul Transformation Cultivators must defeat the rank five late-stage monster beasts conjured by the Thousand Beast Tower in order to ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. In this way, the abilities of the Spirit Control Sect disciples who can ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot are not weak.

Shen Long nodded and said, "After you finish up here, go help the people from the Sun Moon Palace set up their formation."

Chu Buyu had grown up in the Sun Moon Palace and held deep feelings for it. Shen Long also brought a bounty of cultivation resources to the Sun Moon Palace and sent people to help them reconstruct three secret realms, planting Spirit Fruit trees and Spiritual Medicine within the realms to ensure the Sun Moon Palace’s lineage.

Whatever the Spirit Control Sect had, the Sun Moon Palace had, with equal treatment. These resources could ensure that the Sun Moon Palace’s lineage would continue for tens of thousands of years.

The Sun Moon Palace and the Spirit Control Sect formed an everlasting alliance, helping each other out.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Li Yu readily agreed, her expression respectful.

She respected Shen Long from the bottom of her heart, not for his cultivation level or power, but for his attention to the Spirit Control Sect.

Do not forget the well-digger when drinking water; a thousand-foot tree does not forget its roots; if one shines brightly, one must not forget where one comes from.

"The Grandmaster has always been concerned about the Spirit Control Sect; it’s just that he’s unable to send people to the Lower Realm. I happened to obtain a seventh-grade Secret Talisman, which enabled me to send an avatar down here," Shen Long explained, seeing the confusion on Li Yu’s face.

He naturally would not tell Li Yu the truth: a top-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure capable of breaking through the realms would certainly be coveted by Unity Cultivators.

"The disciple understands the Grandmaster. If it were so easy to go to the Lower Realm, ancestors and grandmasters of other forces would have come down to the Lower Realm long ago," Li Yu earnestly said.

"You go busy yourself! I am off to other realms," Shen Long said.

His current form was just an avatar, still carrying a sixth-grade defensive talisman. Even if he encountered a storm between realms, he still had a chance of survival.

In addition to transporting resources to the Spirit Control Sect and the Sun Moon Palace, Shen Long also had the important task of traveling through other realms and collecting cultivation resources.

"Uncle Shen, let me send someone to accompany you! You’ll have someone to run errands for you," Li Yu suggested.

"No need, cultivators from other realms can also run errands, and they are more familiar with the local conditions," Shen Long said with full confidence.

Power is the right to speak. He only needed to show a hint of his power to subdue some lower-level cultivators to be his runners, which would be easy.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Li Yu did not insist any further and agreed.

After leaving a few instructions, Shen Long transformed into a streak of escape light and left Spirit Control Island.
