In the center of the Northern Territory, in front of the Black Pillar.
Su Tong now understood everything.
"So that's how it is. For thousands of years, the Northern Territory had it all wrong!"
Su Tong also understood why the sects in the Northern Territory were all so weak.
Even those at the Returning Void Realm were few.
And beyond the Returning Void Realm, there were the Spirit Void Realm, Divine Soul Realm, Divine Spirit Realm, Spirit Divine Realm, and Saint Divine Realm.
None of the experts at these five higher realms had ever appeared in the Northern Territory before.
And now, from this Hidden Spirit Pillar, Su Tong understood it all.
"So it was wrong from the very beginning!"
Su Tong also realized why, apart from the Hidden Spirit Sect, no other sects had experts breaking through to the Spirit Void Realm.
And why all disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect had entered the Returning Void Realm.
"So the root cause was the flawed cultivation techniques."
Su Tong shook his head helplessly.
If not for his ability to understand the ancient divine text,
Perhaps he would have thought the same as the other experts in the Northern Territory.
"But was this intentionally concealed by Shi Yun, or did the newcomers reach a consensus?"
Su Tong was not sure now why this situation came to be.
But he felt both reasons could be true.
Shi Yun intentionally hid everything, while the other experts agreed to conceal it.
"It seems I must go take a look at the Hidden Spirit Sect!"
Although the Hidden Spirit Island had closed off and disappeared.
Su Tong still had ways to find it.
After all, the small box held the key to the Hidden Spirit Formation and Hidden Spirit Island.
Su Tong had learned how to set up the Hidden Spirit Formation.
So using the formation to locate the Hidden Spirit Island would not be difficult.
Thinking of this, Su Tong closed his eyes, and carefully sensed everything around him.
"This place... Interesting, so the island didn't leave, it's just that others can't see it."
Su Tong sensed that the Hidden Spirit Formation was still in its original place.
Only now another formation was activated, concealing the entire Hidden Spirit Island.
With this formation, even experts like Luo Zi Yin at the Returning Void Realm could not detect the Hidden Spirit Island's existence.
This was why the Hidden Spirit Island had "disappeared" from the Northern Territory!
"Lei Jing Beast, let's go!"
Su Tong opened his eyes and called out to the Lei Jing Beast not far away.
"Roar!"
The Lei Jing Beast roared back at him.
Then it transformed into a purple ray of light, shooting over from afar.
When it passed Su Tong, he leapt up onto its back in one swift movement.
In an instant, they vanished into the horizon.
At this moment, a black glow flashed within the Hidden Spirit Pillar. Shortly after, more words appeared along with the original text.
Today a little fellow came here, he had broken into the Hidden Spirit Sect before and saw the existence of the Blood Shadows.
He came here and seemed able to understand everything. The Northern Territory may change because of him soon.
Now he heads to the Hidden Spirit Sect. He has clearly understood it all!
...
Su Tong did not know about the added words in the Hidden Spirit Pillar.
Right now he hurried towards the location of Hidden Spirit Island.
If his guess was correct, there was still a secret within the Hidden Spirit Sect.
A secret that even experts like Luo Zi Yin of the sect were unaware of.
Riding the Lei Jing Beast, Su Tong went very fast.
In just about an hour, he arrived at his destination.
"As expected, nothing can be seen!"
Upon arrival, Su Tong looked down.
There was nothing, only lush greenery.
Whether flying high above, skimming low, or walking right through,
Even Returning Void Realm experts would not notice any formation here.
But Su Tong was no ordinary Returning Void Realm expert, he was also a third-grade formation master.
Most importantly, he was very familiar with the Hidden Spirit Formation.
So even with the isolation formation, Su Tong could still sense it.
His spiritual sense then spread out immediately.
Carefully searching every blade of grass, flower, and tree around.
What Su Tong looked for was not the Hidden Spirit Formation itself, but the core of the concealment formation.
Because he was certain the formation was here.
So slowly searching with his spiritual sense here would uncover that core.
But this search was extremely tedious.
It took a full half a day.
"Here it is!"
Su Tong's eyes shot open.
In that last probe, he had successfully located the core of this formation.
This was also the most crucial hub of the formation.
With a stomp of his foot, Su Tong's body flashed out.
In a moment, he stopped under a towering ancient tree.
"The Hidden Spirit Sect is indeed cautious, concealing the formation in this huge tree!"
Su Tong looked at the ancient tree before him.
Within it were mysterious runes.
These runes formed the hub of the entire formation.
Since no third-grade formation master had ever appeared in the Northern Territory before.
This formation had gone completely unnoticed.
"Boom!"
Massive spiritual sense surged out from Su Tong's dantian.
It then enveloped this towering tree.
To enter Hidden Spirit Island, Su Tong had to break this formation.
But he did not plan to destroy it directly.
He did not know the Hidden Spirit Sect's specific reasons for setting up this formation.
But Su Tong was certain it was unrelated to the current Hundred Sects Great Battle.
So Su Tong only used his spiritual sense to slightly block the core of the formation.
Suddenly, the scene before him changed.
Su Tong returned to Hidden Spirit Island.
"Roar!"
Seeing the changed surroundings, the Lei Jing Beast let out a low roar.
It looked around warily.
Su Tong patted its head to reassure it.
"Indeed, still the same place!"
Su Tong smiled.
Then without any hesitation, he headed straight for the Hidden Spirit Sect's location.
Soon, he found the mountain cave.
After breaking through the barrier, he entered the Hidden Spirit Sect again.
"Where could it be?"
Su Tong frowned slightly.
Then unrestrained spiritual sense surged out from his dantian.
Inch by inch, he began searching the entire Hidden Spirit Sect.
"Not here!"
"Nothing here either!"
"Still not here!"
"Here... Is this the square? So it's here!"
Su Tong finally discovered something different within the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Shortly after, he appeared in the square of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
"Lei Jing Beast!"
At Su Tong's shout, the Lei Jing Beast carried him up into the sky.
"Elders of the Hidden Spirit Sect, junior Su Tong has offended you all!"
Su Tong cupped his fists and shouted to the surroundings.
Then a powerful spiritual force poured out.
Condensed into a formidable attack, it smashed directly at the square's ground.
"Boom!"
In a moment, a huge fissure appeared on the square's floor.
Su Tong glanced down at the crack, and said to the Lei Jing Beast: "Go down!"
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
