Chapter 997 Picking Up a Corpse
After a long while.

A demon maidservant inside the Flying Luan Imperial Carriage asked the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Poisons:

"Demon Lord, why did you spare that Sea-Overturning God Lord just now?"

"This person has been entrenched in the Rootless Sea for a long time, and seems to know quite a bit about the inner workings of the Myriad Spirits Realm."

"You think we're the only ones who arrived here when the entrance to the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits opened? Perhaps other old guys from other races have already taken the lead and infiltrated this place," the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Poisons said calmly, his silver-gray demonic eyes darting around.

"However, without the token, even those old guys would be wasting their time."

"I'm going to make a grand entrance and see how long they can hold out!"

Then.

With a flick of his hand, the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Poisons produced two more identical 'Great Space Teleportation Tokens'.
"My Lord Demon Lord, what is this?" Upon seeing this, the maid beside him showed an extremely surprised expression.

"This is a fake token that I replicated using special methods. Apart from its appearance being almost identical to the real teleportation token, the only difference is that it lacks a trace of primordial energy from the Myriad Spirits Realm, therefore it cannot be used for entry."

"If you two secretly release fake teleportation tokens, many hidden guys will inevitably fall for it."

"At that time, I will be able to watch a good show and lure out quite a few people."

At this point, the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Poisons revealed a sinister smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will obey your command!" The two maids took the token and then disappeared.

……

Half a month later.

In the rootless sea, an undercurrent quietly begins to flow.

Since the appearance of the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Poisons, one of the nine great demon lords of the demon race, various speculations and doubts have been circulating among the islands.

After all, the powerful demons were capricious and had a history of slaughtering people in their regions, which made these alien cultivators very worried and fearful.

After all, the Rootless Sea is a land without a master, and is not protected by any force or powerful clan.

As long as you have strong fists and high physical strength, you can survive here; the atmosphere is full of savagery.

The change of ownership of Ling Island is a common occurrence here.

Despite having a Void Refinement cultivator like the Overturning Sea God Lord in charge of Luoying Island, it is still no match for the nine Demon Lords.

It's estimated that the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Poisons could be reduced to ashes with a single thought.

During these days, the Lord of Luoying Island, the God of the Sea, was extremely restless, if not for the fact that he controlled some secrets of the Myriad Spirits Realm.

Given his personality, he would have run away long ago if the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Poisons had arrived.

Just as he was getting anxious and pacing around like an ant on a hot pan.

The matter of the large-scale spatial teleportation order has finally made progress!!

Just outside his cave atop Ling Island, his trusted subordinates rushed back to report:
"Lord Island Master, the item you are looking for has been located in the past few days."

The previously furrowed brows of the Sea-Overturning God-King immediately relaxed, revealing a hint of brilliance as he asked:
"Is the intelligence accurate? Where is the item now? Why not just bring it back?"

The subordinate looked troubled and replied, "Reporting to the Island Lord, the items came from a rogue merman cultivator on the neighboring Xiaohuan Island. It's said they were discovered in an ancient cultivator's cave, and someone even managed to snag more than one."

"The person who took advantage of this opportunity happens to be the son of the Little Huan Island Master. If we were to forcefully seize it and cause a conflict, we fear it would alert him and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, we have returned to ask for your decision."

Even the ever-suspicious Overturning Sea God showed an incredulous expression, calming down from his earlier excitement:
"Flowed from the hands of rogue cultivators?"

"And that old bastard Moro's son got the better deal."

After a moment's thought, he immediately set off for Xiaohuan Island, ready to investigate for himself.

However, just to be on the safe side, it decided to make one last trip to the secret chamber to see if it could resolve the matter with that Lord Lin Shan.

……

Qin Ming was also keeping a close eye on the changing situation in the Rootless Sea.

When he learned that more tokens for entering the Realm of All Spirits had appeared on the market, he immediately showed a thoughtful expression:
"This is probably because someone is secretly stirring up trouble and fanning the flames."

"After all, I'm probably not the only one who wants to enter the Realm of All Spirits."

"Even in the Myriad Spirits Realm, only cultivators at the Mahayana stage possess a small number of treasures like the Great Space Teleportation Token."

"The one I hold in my hand was a gift from an ancient powerhouse like the Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers."

"How could such an item easily fall into the hands of a rogue cultivator?"

Qin Ming immediately sensed something was wrong after just one analysis.

The Sky-Devouring Rat listened with its head tilted up, then looked puzzled.
"Master, do you think the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits is really that good? Why are all those powerful beings in the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits so eager to get in?"

Just then.

Before Qin Ming could speak, the Old Demon Qingyang spoke first:
"Hehehe! The Myriad Spirits Realm is an extremely special place. Legend has it that the birth of this realm can be traced back to the ancient primordial chaos when the world was created. A Great Dao Origin was born in this realm, which gave rise to countless great opportunities and gave birth to many famous and renowned figures."

"Furthermore, the environment inside is extremely suitable for the growth of all living beings. Even ancient true spirit races like the Nine Heavens Divine Deer have taken root in this realm. It is no exaggeration to say that the Myriad Spirits Realm is a uniquely blessed paradise."

"A place where even the opportunities of the Mahayana stage exist is naturally a place that countless cultivators yearn for."

At this point, Qin Ming seemed to remember something.

He took out a beast bone token from his pocket, which was a gift given to him by Daoist Lu Yun when they parted ways.

This token is called the 'Ten Thousand Spirits Token', and it can also be used as a key to the Myriad Dragon Realm.

However, the authority level of the Myriad Spirits Token is higher than that of the Great Space Teleportation Token given by the Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers.

The transfer token can only be used to move items in, not out, and each token can only be used once.

The Myriad Spirits Token that Daoist Lu Yun gave him had no restrictions whatsoever.

"I wonder how Brother Su is doing in the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits these days?"

Qin Ming sighed with emotion, thinking of his old friend.

Despite the undercurrents in the outside world, he remained unmoved, waiting for the arrival of Lingxi's eye of the storm.

"The Sky-Devouring Rat!" Qin Ming called out.

"What are your orders, Master?" The Devouring Rat perked up immediately when it saw someone had come to help.

"Things on the island have been a bit strange lately. You should secretly investigate the situation again and report back to me immediately," Qin Ming said calmly.

After nodding in agreement, the Devouring Rat vanished and headed out of the cave.

After it came outside, it first rubbed its little hands together as if it were thinking.

Immediately, his figure vanished into the void, heading straight towards the direction where the Lord of Luoying Island was located.

"This old guy has some really good treasures hidden away, and he knows quite a lot too. Let's go check him out first, hehehe!"

Just do it.

The Devouring Rat made its way to the outside of the Island Lord's Mansion. With its current cultivation level, it could use the Void Concealment Technique to be undetectable even to those in the late stage of the Integration Realm, let alone a mere late stage Void Refinement Realm cultivator.

However, when it arrived at this place, it unexpectedly encountered something extremely unexpected.
...At the summit of the Spirit Island Cave.

Lord Fuhai, the master of Luoying Island, with a gloomy face, once again entered the basement.

Upon seeing Lin Sanjun, who was imprisoned there, he seemed to have made up his mind.

The main reason was that the appearance of the Great Sage of the Demon Clan made him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, and he had to obtain the Great Space Teleportation Token as soon as possible to leave this place.

The fact that the other two tokens were on Xiaohuan Island indicates that the key to the Myriad Spirits Realm is still being lost outside.

Unless absolutely necessary, the Overturning Sea God Lord did not want to bargain with the Little Huan Island Master.

In that case, not only would their intentions be easily guessed, but you would also have an extra opponent out of nowhere.

The safest way is naturally to pry something out of Lin Shanjun.

He broke through the numerous restrictions, entered the secret chamber, and glanced at the imprisoned person.

"Lord Lin, I'm giving you one last chance. Is there any trace of the other teleportation tokens?"

"Otherwise, I'll have to dig your head out myself."

The Sea-Overturning God's tone was icy, clearly showing his patience had run out and his killing intent was evident.

Lin Shanjun, who was imprisoned in the basement, could also sense this.

Finally, after some struggle, he revealed another secret to the Overturning Sea God.

"Wait a minute, I can agree to that, but..."

"But what?" Seeing that the other party was finally willing to divulge something, the Overturning Sea God asked with a look of joy.

Lin Shanjun hesitated for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I do have another token to enter the Myriad Spirits Realm, and it is the 'Myriad Spirits Token,' which is even rarer than the Great Teleportation Token. With this token, one can freely enter and exit the Myriad Spirits Realm."

"Moreover, this item has always been on Fellow Daoist Fu Hai's person."

"What?! It's on me? Are you kidding me? Are you trying to fool me?" The Overturning Sea God Lord looked extremely surprised.

But he had just secretly used a secret technique to observe, and there was no sign that the other party was lying.

Lin Shanjun gave a wry smile and explained, "That Myriad Spirits Token is inside that Glazed Treasure Light Divine Palace."

"Hmm? I have already refined this treasure inside and out, and searched every corner. I didn't expect you to have left a backup plan. Could it be that you have hidden something else?" The Overturning Sea God raised an eyebrow and pressed for an answer.

Lin Shanjun slowly raised his pale face and said, "As a top-tier spiritual artifact, the Glazed Treasure Light Divine Palace naturally possesses an inner space. I will now remove the restrictions for you, fellow Daoist. I hope you will show mercy."

"As for whether it is true or false, Fellow Daoist Fuhai will know at a glance."

The Sea-Overturning God had sharp eyes and a look of suspicion on them. He said indifferently, "There's no need for Lord Lin to come. Just tell me the incantation to open the barrier."

“I placed a special restriction on that Glazed Treasure Light Temple before, and only I can open it. If I die, the secrets inside will also disappear. Besides, my cultivation has now fallen to the early stage of Void Refinement. What do you have to worry about, Fellow Daoist Fu Hai?” Lin Shanjun said.

Upon hearing this, the Sea-Overturning God-King suddenly revealed a smile on his originally cold and stern face:
“In that case, it is not impossible. However, to be on the safe side, Fellow Daoist Lin needs to offer up a wisp of his divine soul for me to keep safe.”

Beneath Lin Shanjun's disheveled appearance, a cold glint flashed imperceptibly in his eyes. He cursed the old fox inwardly, but still did as he was told, painfully splitting off a wisp of his natal soul and handing it over to the other party.

In any case, their lives are now in the other party's hands.

The Overturning Sea God took out a wooden tablet and absorbed the wisp of divine soul into it. With the soul tablet in hand, he was no longer afraid of this young master from a powerful clan in the Myriad Spirits Realm playing tricks.

Then.

He made hand seals and cast a series of restrictions on the black iron chains in the basement.

As the spirit-locking runes on them dimmed, a series of crackling sounds of metal falling were heard, and all the black iron chains fell down.

Lin Shanjun also landed. Although he was temporarily freed, his magical power was still completely depleted, and he was powerless to even kill a chicken.

After recovering for a while, he gestured for the Sea-Overturning God to bring out the Glazed Treasure Light Divine Palace.

The Overturning Sea God observed the other party's every move. Even though Lin Shanjun's life was in his hands, he dared not be careless at all, as this person was a powerful being from the Myriad Spirits Realm.

Next.

A miniature version of the Crystal Palace floated quietly in this dark secret room, emitting bursts of light.

When Lin Shanjun saw this treasure again, a long-lost look of amazement appeared in his eyes.

Without saying a word, he cast a profound restriction spell towards the temple.

next moment.

However, runes surged around the Glazed Treasure Light Temple, emanating an inexplicable oppressive force.

As Lin Shanjun's remaining magical power was injected, the entire palace suddenly shone brightly, and a beast's roar came from within.

"What are you doing?!"

Under the awe of that beastly roar.

Deep within the soul of the Overturning Sea God, he felt an intense sense of life-or-death crisis!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifyingly powerful blue-haired beast was about to be released from it, its aura exceeding the seventh rank.
He then realized that Lin Shanjun had no intention of handing over the Myriad Spirits Token at all, and that there was actually a terrifyingly powerful spirit beast hidden inside this flying treasure.

And he had been in control of this palace for so long without ever noticing.

In his fear, the Overturning Sea God crushed the soul tablet in his hand without saying a word!

As the divine soul restriction inside was activated, Lin Shanjun's divine soul was severely damaged. His face was contorted, he let out a scream, and collapsed to the ground.

Strangely, Lin Shanjun, who should have been annihilated, was not dead; he was still clinging to his last breath.
"This is the Soul Splitting Technique! It can completely sever the connection with one's natal soul and separate it from the body. You, an outsider cultivator, would never have imagined that, would you?"

"Heh! Hahaha! If I didn't do it this way, how could you, you old fox, have fallen for my trick?"

Lin Shanjun, lying on the ground, revealed a look of revenge, and after saying those words, he immediately fainted.

Roar! !

The enormous phantom of the seventh-tier blue-haired beast appeared, unleashing a deafening roar.

This sonic attack instantly caused the Sea-Overturning Divine Lord, a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator, to bleed from all seven orifices, his primordial spirit shattered, and he died instantly.
They couldn't even muster the reaction to run for their lives.

The Sea-Overturning God stared with his bloodshot eyes, his expression still one of disbelief.

The lifeless corpse collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The green-haired beast that unleashed an astonishing roar originally wanted to break out of the Glazed Soul Treasure Temple, but it lost the support of Lin Shanjun's magic power.

The restrictions on the space within the temple treasure instantly returned to normal, sealing it back inside.
Finally, it let out a few unwilling roars, and then gradually faded away.

In the shadows of the void.

The Devouring Rat watched this spectacular show in utter disbelief; it was truly an eye-opener for it.

When the green-haired beast first appeared, it was originally planning to run away, but after seeing the final outcome, it couldn't help but stop.

"Hehehe! I'm rich this time!"

"Those two guys actually died together."

The Devouring Rat revealed itself, then with a swift movement, it picked up the two corpses on the ground, as well as the Glazed Treasure Temple.

He immediately used his bloodline supernatural power to open a void passage and vanished from the underground chamber in an instant.
