Beneath the Hidden Spirit Sect's underground domain,
Su Tong had a clear understanding of everything before him.
"So, the entire Northern Territory is under their control!"
Su Tong sighed with emotion.
Perhaps all the people within the Northern Territory would never understand that, after thousands of years,
they were still mere pawns in the hands of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
What seemed like coincidences were nothing more than carefully orchestrated plans by the Hidden Spirit Sect.
"It's not a problem to have these sects guarding the formation nodes."
Su Tong shook his head.
However, at this moment, he became even more curious about those blood-colored figures and the world beyond the Northern Territory.
"It's time to explore the outside world!"
Su Tong had a new idea.
Originally, he planned to resolve some sect matters before leaving.
But if that were the case, it would undermine the formation.
"Well, forget it. With the Hidden Spirit Formation and the mundane-grade eighth-rank techniques and spiritual skills from the Crimson Rainbow Sect, dealing with the Shen Feng Sect and Disaster Sword Sect should be sufficient, not to mention the Qi Mu Sect!"
The Crimson Rainbow Sect now had Su Tong's Hidden Spirit Formation.
Although it couldn't make everyone reach the Void Reversion Realm,
it was no problem for everyone to step into the Essence Refinement Realm.
Moreover, the techniques and scroll of spiritual skills that Su Tong obtained earlier had reached the mundane-grade eighth rank.
As long as one had enough talent and comprehended these two, it was also possible to reach the Void Reversion Realm.
By then, the Crimson Rainbow Sect's strength would truly become the number one in the Northern Territory.
Becoming the number one sect in the Northern Territory was only a matter of time.
"It's time to prepare and leave the Northern Territory!"
Su Tong glanced at the floating orbs.
They were all techniques and spiritual skills of seventh grade or higher.
If it were before, Su Tong would definitely collect them all.
But now he knew that these were just the lowest-grade techniques and spiritual skills on the Wenti Continent, so Su Tong was not interested at all.
"Roar!"
Just as Su Tong was contemplating, a roar echoed.
It was the Zhenmu Demon Beast that made the sound.
"What's wrong?"
Su Tong knew that the Zhenmu Demon Beast wouldn't roar without reason.
It must have discovered something beneath this underground domain.
"Roar!"
The Zhenmu Demon Beast couldn't speak.
It just roared towards a nearby location.
Although puzzled, Su Tong walked towards that direction.
"Is there another passageway here?"
Su Tong looked and saw a passage not far away.
This passage was beneath the underground domain.
Su Tong hadn't noticed it before because he was attracted by the Hidden Spirit Pill in front of him.
And the direction where the Zhenmu Demon Beast roared was exactly that passage.
"Roar!"
Just as Su Tong was about to investigate, a roar came from within the passageway.
"There are other demon beasts inside this passageway?"
Su Tong didn't expect that there were still demon beasts existing beneath this underground domain.
He didn't know if it was people from the Hidden Spirit Sect who left them here or if they accidentally intruded.
After the roar subsided, Su Tong felt a strong surge of spiritual power.
After a moment, a burst of red spiritual energy rushed out from the passageway.
Boom!
It didn't hit Su Tong but collided with the wall, creating a tremendous boom.
"What is that?"
After the dust settled from the impact,
Su Tong saw two red eyes appearing in the passageway.
Step!
Step!
Step by step, he walked towards Su Tong's direction.
At this moment, Su Tong finally saw clearly what it was.
In front of Su Tong's eyes was a black demon beast that resembled a cow.
However, this demon beast had red eyes and only one horn on its head, resembling a white bone.
"The Zhenmu Demon Beast?"
Su Tong recognized it now.
The name of this demon beast was Zhenmu Demon Beast, a kind of demon beast that could be tamed to guard graveyards and prevent others from desecrating them.
"If you're here, there should be a graveyard behind."
Su Tong realized that there was likely a graveyard beyond this passage.
And who could be buried inside?
It was very likely the former master of the Hidden Spirit Sect, Shi Yun.
"Since the tomb of Senior Shi Yun is here, I should pay my respects."
After all, Su Tong had gained many benefits from the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Now that he knew the tomb of Shi Yun, the master of the Hidden Spirit Sect, was inside, Su Tong wanted to bow to him.
"Roar!"
Su Tong hadn't moved yet, but the Zhenmu Demon Beast let out a roar.
Then a powerful aura erupted.
"Third-grade Return to Void Realm? You're also restricted?"
Su Tong could sense the power of the Zhenmu Demon Beast.
Generally speaking, the strength of a Zhenmu Demon Beast could reach the Lingxu Realm.
But the Zhenmu Demon Beast in front of him only had the strength of the third-grade Return to Void Realm.
It was evident that the spiritual energy in this world was restricted.
It not only affected humans but also affected demon beasts.
Even this powerful Zhenmu Demon Beast was affected.
"Roar!"
The Zhenmu Demon Beast couldn't understand Su Tong's words.
It just roared in Su Tong's direction, followed by an attack coming towards him.
Then Su Tong clenched his fist.
Immediately, a much stronger spiritual power surged.
Boom!
The two forces collided, and at that moment, they exploded.
Despite the powerful impact, Su Tong didn't step back and stood firmly in place.
On the other hand, the Zhenmu Demon Beast was directly knocked back by Su Tong's attack.
"Hehe!"
With a cold laugh, Su Tong once again walked towards the passage.
"Roar!"
The Zhenmu Demon Beast roared again in Su Tong's direction.
Then the surrounding spiritual energy condensed.
Flames appeared directly in front of Su Tong.
They flew rapidly towards Su Tong's direction.
"Break!"
Su Tong shouted.
A surge of spiritual power directly blocked the fiery attack.
"You can't defeat me. I'm going in to take a look!"
Su Tong said to the Zhenmu Demon Beast.
"Roar!"
But the Zhenmu Demon Beast paid no attention.
After roaring, it directly swooped towards Su Tong.
The bone horn on its head was filled with spiritual energy, and it seemed that the Zhenmu Demon Beast was ready to deal with Su Tong using it.
"Alas, don't understand, huh?"
Su Tong sighed.
Although the strength of this Zhenmu Demon Beast was formidable, its intelligence was not as high as that of the Thunder Crystal Beast.
I don't know if it was born this way or because it had been imprisoned underground for too long.
"Restraint!"
Su Tong helplessly opened his hand.
He spoke in the ancient language of the gods.
As Su Tong's words fell, the surrounding spiritual energy began to flow rapidly.
Soon, it directly entwined the Zhenmu Demon Beast.
"Roar!"
Touched by the spiritual power, the Zhenmu Demon Beast let out a roar and struggled.
However, it was completely futile.
"I already said that I'm just here to take a look!" Su Tong shook his head.
Then, he ignored the Zhenmu Demon Beast that kept roaring.
Su Tong had no intention of killing it since it could continue guarding this place in the future.
After subduing the Zhenmu Demon Beast, Su Tong stepped into the passage.
After walking a few steps forward, Su Tong saw a huge space in front of him.
And within that space, there were rows of eerie white bones!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
