Shura Palace, inside the Extre Fire Realm hall.
Yuan Ming sat cross-legged, quickly pointing at the Complete Heaven Exquisite Tripod, while chanting words softly.
Suddenly, a spirit light flashed on the surface of the Exquisite Tripod, the lid automatically flew open, and three purple-black elixirs with faint electric glow appeared, precisely the three Thunder Origin Pills.
Yuan Ming flicked his sleeve, capturing the three Thunder Origin Pills in his hand. After a brief examination, he nodded slightly, then took out a small white jade bottle, carefully placing the pills inside.
In these five years, during his cultivation breaks, he often possessed Dian Xiaosan, enhancing his alchemy technique through direct insight, progressing rapidly in alchemy. Now, he has truly beco a Level 5 Alchemist.
A few days ago, Hua Zhi returned to Shura Palace, bringing back a new batch of Thunder Origin Pill materials, which he refined into over thirty Thunder Origin Pills.
"Take it." He raised his hand, tossing the jade bottle. The black-robed man standing beside him caught it; it was Lei Yu.
Currently, Lei Yu's back had a pair of azure wings entangled with an invisible airflow, seemingly ready to carry him away at any mont.
"Thank you, Master." Lei Yu expressed joy, kneeling on one knee in gratitude.
Having refined the Thunder Origin Pills multiple tis, Lei Yu had been continuously consuming them over the years. His demonic power advanced swiftly, nearing the Level 5 middle stage.
"Quickly refine this batch of elixirs and strive to break through to the Level 5 middle stage and master the four wings of wind and thunder. That way, you'll be very useful in the upcoming hunting operation," Yuan Ming said.
"Yes, I will not disappoint you and will work hard to break through," Lei Yu agreed and left the hall, seeking a place for intense cultivation.
Yuan Ming did not leave, continuing to sit cross-legged in front of the Complete Heaven Exquisite Tripod, taking out the Stealing Heaven Tripod for inspection.
Everything Su Yingxue experienced before was naturally orchestrated by him.
What he can do in the Land of Nothingness is very limited; even if he could possess the guards and make Su Yingxue design a formation for him, the risk of exposure was significant.
Possessing Su Yingxue and communicating through hidden ssages, although a bit troubleso, was much safer.
However, this thod had to remain mysterious. If Su Yingxue realized his activities in the Land of Nothingness were limited, he wouldn't be able to obtain the formation.
Only by making Su Yingxue let her imagination run wild, scaring herself, could Yuan Ming possibly achieve his goal.
He had left ssages for Su Yingxue three tis, and the timing seed appropriate.
As thoughts churned in Yuan Ming's mind, he waved his sleeve to store away the two tripods, standing up and returning to the dicine Garden.
Seven days passed quickly; he did not imdiately possess Su Yingxue but waited an additional three days before using Black Incense Possession on her.
The successive three possessions were every seven days, which was sowhat ill-considered and revealed a slight flaw.
Although the probability of Su Yingxue realizing sothing was wrong was extrely small, it was still necessary to be as cautious as possible.
Just as Yuan Ming possessed Su Yingxue, upon opening his eyes, he saw a square-shaped Jade Scroll on the desk, awaiting perusal.
"Since you, Senior, can infiltrate the Land of Nothingness, just say what you want to do. Why the intimidation, causing sleeplessness for days?" The Jade Scroll opened with Su Yingxue's complaint.
"If I let you be at ease and think calmly, that would be disadvantageous for ." Yuan Ming felt secretly pleased, shook his head, and continued reading.
"The formation Senior requires, I have a rough draft — a trapping array called the 'Eight Extres Golden Lock Array.' It's relatively simple to set up, but its power is not weak at all, eting Senior's requirents. However, I need more ti to complete the formation's intricate design, so I ask for your patience." Su Yingxue soon ntioned the main matter, clearly not daring to be too cryptic, fearing to incur Yuan Ming's displeasure.
Yuan Ming did not doubt her words, as even with a simpler sixth-level array, it wouldn't be reasonable to expect an array map to be drawn up in just one or two days. Waiting a while was quite normal.
"As for 'one formation in exchange for a favor' that Senior ntioned, I don't dare to trouble you too much. Since you can move freely in Nihility Prison, I presu you have ways to contact the outside world. What I ask is for you to pass a ssage to the White Emperor City Lord of the Wanyao Mountain Range in Chuyun Realm. There's no need to ntion my na, just tell him: 'The Three Realms Sect has elected a new leader.' I know cross-realm communication is difficult, so you may proceed at your discretion, delivering the ssage within five years to fulfill the promise." At the end of the Jade Scroll, Su Yingxue made her request. Alwаys rеаd аt thе sоurсе—
After reading the contents of the Jade Scroll, Yuan Ming's brow furrowed slightly.
Su Yingxue is trapped in the Land of Nothingness, and logically, her request would certainly revolve around how to escape.
But the information she wants to convey, Yuan Ming really cannot see how it relates to escaping from this place.
Moreover, informing the White Emperor City Lord that the Three Realms Sect has elected a new sect leader, could it be that the White Emperor City Lord and the Three Realms Sect are connected?
Su Yingxue's request might be difficult for others, but for him, it is extrely easy because Wulu is currently at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.
However, this matter is sowhat suspicious and might not be anything more than a trap, requiring investigation first, anyway, there is plenty of ti.
Yuan Ming pondered for a mont, still raised his hand to pick up the Jade Scroll, and left only the word "okay". Then quietly awaited the possession ti to end, his consciousness returned to the main body, and he stood up to arrive before the Void Communication Array.
He didn't contact Wulu but sent a ssage to soone else.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, you're looking for ? Did you find the target? What kind of existence is it?" As soon as the communication connected, Yun Luo Fairy's curious voice sounded, with a hint of excitent in her tone.
"That I'm still considering. This ti I'm contacting you because of another matter. Fellow Daoist Yun Luo cos from a great sect and is surely well-inford about the Three Realms Sect. Could you explain a bit to ?" Yuan Ming asked.
"The Three Realms Sect? Why are you asking about this sect? Could it be the Black Evil Sect has found you?" Yun Luo Fairy's tone revealed a bit of tension.
"No, I've recently heard so news concerning the Three Realms Sect, so I want to find out a bit more. Among the people around , Fellow Daoist Yun Luo is the most knowledgeable, hence the communication for advice," Yuan Ming praised Yun Luo Fairy slightly.
"Hehe, is that so. Actually, I'm not very familiar with the Three Realms Sect either. But since you're asking, I'll certainly tell you everything I know. This sect is well-known throughout the Central Continent. The specific rise ti of this sect is untraceable. It's said to have been founded by a group of unconventional cultivators at first, who believe that the Three Realms are essentially one, and all races are equal, advocating peaceful coexistence with the Demon World and other realms, which gained acceptance from many cultivators in the Central Continent. At its strongest, even the Great Mahayana Ancestors served as strongholds, comparable to any great sect," Yun Luo Fairy said with great joy, providing a detailed introduction.
"From its doctrine, it seems the Three Realms Sect isn't inherently evil. Why has it now fallen to the point of being an evil sect, infamous and hated by all? Moreover, since the sect was once so strong, why have I heard almost no relevant information in the Dongji Sea?" Yuan Ming felt so surprise and asked.
"The Three Realms Sect, in its early days, conducted itself fairly reasonably; otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so many cultivators. But during the last realm war with the Demon World, the Three Realms Sect was tempted by the Demon World and embraced it, thoroughly becoming an evil sect, seen as a disgrace by all major sects in the Central Continent, jointly hunted down. There was quite an uproar at the ti, but after the Three Realms Sect leader fell several thousand years ago, the entire sect fragnted, and gradually faded into obscurity. The major sects of the Central Continent deliberately minimized the influence of the Three Realms Sect, forbidding discussion among cultivators, let alone recording in classics, while the Dongji Sea is remote, hence few know of it," Yun Luo Fairy explained.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming understood a bit, nodding slightly.
"By the way, you ntioned hearing news about the Three Realms Sect earlier? What news?" Yun Luo Fairy asked curiously.
"A few days ago, I received news from a friend saying that the Three Realms Sect recently elected a new sect leader. Do you think this news is true or false, Fellow Daoist Yun Luo?" Yuan Ming pondered slightly, without hiding anything.
"Oh, so it's this," Yun Luo Fairy's expression was quite calm within the communication array.
"Why such a reaction, Fellow Daoist Yun Luo? The Three Realms Sect, as a demon-controlled evil sect, despite its current decline, still has its base. If indeed a sect leader is elected, wouldn't it pose a considerable threat to the Chuyun Realm?" Yuan Ming questioned in confusion.
"It's clear that you, Fellow Daoist Yuan, don't know much about the Three Realms Sect! This sect differs from ordinary sects; after aligning with the Demon World, all sect rules were abolished. There's no hierarchy among its mbers, allowing anything to be done, even assassinating the leader. As for being the leader, anyone can. Over the years, many have claid to be the Three Realms Sect leader, but soon were either killed by major sects of the Central Continent or within the Three Realms Sect itself, re clowns jumping about. Since its founding, the true leader has only been the one known as the Black Emperor. The news you heard is likely nothing more than so reckless fool boasting," Yun Luo Fairy laughed softly.
Yuan Ming noncommittally uttered "oh", his expression not relaxed.
Yun Luo Fairy's answer was off the mark. The content that Su Yingxue wanted him to communicate was that the Three Realms Sect elected a new leader, not soone claiming to be the new leader.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yun Luo, for clearing up the confusion. It's good if this news is false. If the Three Realms Sect really elects a leader, the situation would be dire," Yuan Ming didn't correct Yun Luo's mistake, but said.
"Speaking of which, recently there have been many incidents of demonic cultivators causing disturbances in the Central Continent. All major sects are investigating the underlying reasons, with so speculating that the Demon World is planning big moves again. Now it seems, perhaps it's the Three Realms Sect causing trouble," Yun Luo Fairy said.
"So, the situation in the Central Continent might turn chaotic," Yuan Ming said thoughtfully.
"Perhaps, but if the sky collapses, the major sects will bear it. We should focus on the present task first. How long does Fellow Daoist Yuan need to prepare? I'm ready on my side and can co over to et you." Yun Luo Fairy, seeing, did not question further, instead asked about the main business.
"Not more than half a year at most, I'll contact you then," Yuan Ming roughly estimated the ti and reported it.
"Hehe, then I'll be at ease waiting for Fellow Daoist Yuan's news! Oh, by the way, I've recently procured a jar of fine Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine in Age Lake City on Flowers Island. There's no need to rush the hunting; the Wanhua Festival on Flowers Island is about to happen, very lively. Since Fellow Daoist Yuan isn't ready, why not..." Yun Luo Fairy laughed.
