"Having broken through the Great Thousand Mirror's blockade, people from the Fallen God Tower have come to investigate—"

Zhu Yu watched as the transmission talisman in his palm turned to ashes and dissipated, his expression inscrutable.

The moon elf didn't seem to run away on its own; rather, it looked like it was being grabbed and thrown out.

Furthermore, although the Yinming Cave belongs to the Fallen God Tower, it is highly independent. Under normal circumstances, the tower will not interfere with its subordinate cave dwellings. As for the qualification to cultivate future generations, that is the right granted by the "Heavenly Dao Sect" to the True Person who opens the cave dwelling.

Zhu Yu walked to the window, gazing at the center of the Yinming Cave, and murmured, "Something bad is going to happen—"

Let's take a look at what's happened recently.

From Lian Sheng's initial defection to the Dead Soul Abyss, to Yin Ming Zhenren's fall into the alien spirit realm, the release of the Moon Elf, and the arrival of people from the tower—

It is not difficult to see from this.

This series of events must have been orchestrated by someone, most likely Yinming Zhenren, but he couldn't fathom their purpose.

Zhu Yu shook his head to suppress his thoughts and turned to walk into the study.

The first thing you see are three shelves.

On a shelf were luminous plants, as well as bones and scales of some unknown animal.

On a shelf sat a transparent water tank filled with a bright green liquid, from which emerald green branches and leaves, shimmering with starlight-like fluorescence, floated.

The last shelf was filled with bottles and jars; some contained blackish-red soil particles, some held the remains of insects and monsters, and others were clumps of fibrous tissue and irregular pieces of meat.

Zhu Yu glanced at the various experimental materials, stepped to the water tank, and took out several emerald green leaves from the liquid that was mixed with wood-based spiritual liquid to enhance the life of plants.

"The sheep have run away; I wonder if they're even of any use now—"

He picked up a few more firefly flowers and snake grass from the shelf next to him, then turned and walked out.

Not long after.

click-

Wisps of smoke rose from the rooftop, accompanied by the crisp sound of chopping vegetables.

I heard a sound.

Little Blackie, who had been lying at the door like a rock, immediately poked his head out, stretched out his six long legs, and quickly walked to the kitchen door, peering through the window.

squeak-

"Don't rush me, it'll be ready soon."

Zhu Yu chuckled and glared at it, her hands moving non-stop. She quickly prepared a full basin of nurturing food, stepped out the door, and placed the wooden basin in front of the impatient little black dog.

"Eat up—"

squeak-

Overwhelmed with joy, Xiao Hei lowered its head, and with a snap of its two large front teeth, a large chunk of minced meat disappeared from the bowl.

Seeing that Xiao Hei was eating happily, Zhu Yu felt relieved. After it finished eating, he reached out and pressed his hand on its head, revealing its information panel. He stared at the status column.

My consciousness wavered for a moment.

A pale, weak beetle came into view.

"He's not dead—"

Zhu Yu was surprised for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately break the mark. Instead, he made contact with the mark by thought and sent a question mark to it.

The moon spirit seemed to be awakened, its body glowing, and a surge of anger and grief welled up within it.

"You little thief, you give me—"

next moment.

The moon-white mark collapsed with a roar.

Upon regaining consciousness, Zhu Yu chuckled and said, "Looks like it's doing quite well—"

He originally thought that the Moon Elf had run away and he would no longer be able to fleece her. But now it seems that as long as there is Starwood as a medium, he can still fleece her.

However, he didn't have many "Starry Sky Wood" branches and leaves left.

It's only enough for Xiao Hei to use for another half month. If it hasn't awakened its "Life Pouch" by then, it will be too difficult to find another insect cultivator to fleece.

Just as I was thinking about it.

Suddenly, Zhu Yu felt a terrifying life force erupt beside him. The hairs on his body stood on end, and he quickly retreated. His "Azure Dragon" robe glowed with a soft light, and a blue python as thick as a human leg appeared and disappeared.

After retreating to the courtyard, they looked toward the source of the aura.

The little black insect was enveloped in a bright, moonlit glow, and the terrifying vitality that had suddenly erupted was gradually receding and contracting, as if it were about to give birth to something.

"Is Little Black... about to transform into an insect cultivator?"

Zhu Yu stared in astonishment at this scene, feeling both delighted and puzzled. This terrifying vitality clearly exceeded the amount expected from fleecing someone; it was far too much.

What he didn't know was...

Just as he connected with the moon spirit in his mind.

A dimly lit cave.

On the central platform lay a fist-sized, moon-white beetle radiating a luminous glow, with a golden chain binding its limbs and head.

"Fine, fine, fine—you little thief, you stole my essence, here you go, all of it is yours—"

The Moonbeetle was awakened and overjoyed. Following the connection in the dark, it threw all the essence contained within its body over.

As its source of life was depleted, the Moonbeam Beetle's life force plummeted to rock bottom, and dark brown spots appeared on its body. A weak, ethereal voice echoed through the air.

"You disgusting bastard, you little thief, you just wait—wait for me—to come back—"

Silently, the moon beetle turned into a pool of ashes.

And at the very moment it died.

Wisps of black energy appeared in the void, converging to form an ancient bronze door engraved with ghostly patterns. The door opened, and a handsome yet eerie young man dressed in a black robe stepped out.

They landed on the high platform.

Looking at the empty Divine Chains, the boy's eyes widened in surprise, and he murmured, "Interesting, it actually escaped—"

His eyes suddenly turned deathly still and dark. He looked around, his surprise deepening. After a few moments of contemplation, he turned and vanished into the bronze gate as a wisp of green smoke.

The door closed in an instant and disappeared.

Before a bronze gate that was similar in appearance but with completely different patterns and inscriptions, a strange young man appeared.

After standing still for only a few breaths, a scarlet light tore through the dim world and landed in front of the door, manifesting as a man with a large belly and round face, resembling a wealthy man.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the eerie young man's expression shifted slightly, and he cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Li Hui greets Senior Brother Hong."

"Junior Brother Li, you're too kind."

Hong Sheng chuckled and waved his hand, then turned to look at the nearly seven-zhang-tall bronze gate, clapping his hands in praise: "Junior Brother Meng is indeed a prodigy. I'm afraid it won't be long before he breaks through to the late Foundation Establishment stage at the age of three hundred, and the Golden Core stage is within reach!"

Li Hui's indifferent expression turned sinister for a moment, then he said in a low voice, "After causing such a commotion several times, who knows if he's been corrupted by some foreign evil spirit—"

"hehe--"

Hong Sheng smiled but didn't say anything. He stepped forward, flicked his finger, and a streak of scarlet blood landed on the tightly closed bronze door.

clang--

With a buzzing sound, the ancient bronze mirror hanging on the bronze door shone with a luminous glow, and a beam of light appeared, revealing a handsome man with a heroic appearance.

His dull pupils shifted, a flash of inspiration appeared, and upon seeing the two, a hearty smile appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Chang Sheng greets Senior Brother Hong and Senior Brother Li."

"Junior Brother Meng," Hong Sheng nodded with a smile, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then asked directly, "Is there anything unusual about your natal spirit realm?"

Li Hui stared intently at his face.

Meng Changsheng shook his head, puzzled, and asked, "No, why do you say that, Senior Brother?"

As if remembering something, he bowed apologetically to Li Hui.

"Junior Brother's mind was mostly trapped in the alien spiritual realm, which caused the seal suppressing the little spiritual master to loosen, allowing it to escape in its avatar and disturb Senior Brother's cultivation."

"Once my spirit returns, I will personally go to apologize to my senior brother."

"Just a mere insect—"

Li Hui shook his head slightly, glanced at him a few times, then looked at the tightly closed door and said softly, "If there's nothing unusual, why not open your Natal Spirit Ruins and let us in for a look?"

Hong Sheng remained smiling and silent throughout.

Meng Changsheng's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Senior brother is joking."

The Natal Spirit Ruins are related to a cultivator's foundation. Every scene and object within them is a manifestation of cultivation. Entering to view them is no less than being naked, having all secrets laid bare.

No cultivator dared to do that.

Even close Daoist partners or blood relatives are not allowed.

Li Hui narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to say something more.

Hong Sheng waved his sleeve, and a ginger-yellow talisman with blood-red Dao patterns appeared in mid-air.

"Junior Brother Meng, please store this 'Fate Talisman' within your Natal Spirit Realm."

Upon seeing this, Li Hui immediately fell silent.

The "Life Talisman" is made by the True Lord and can be used to check whether a cultivator has been possessed by evil beings from other realms. No matter how well the evil beings disguise themselves, they will have nowhere to hide under the True Lord's gaze.

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Meng Changsheng flicked his sleeve and rolled the "Fate Talisman" into his natal spirit realm.

A few breaths later.

Without receiving any decree from the True Lord, Hong Sheng nodded slightly to Meng Changsheng, then turned into a red thread and disappeared into the darkness.

"snort--"

Li Hui snorted coldly, took a step forward, and his figure slowly twisted, turning into a dim black shadow and merging into the dark world.

After the two left.

Meng Changsheng's smile faded, and he looked into the distance, a faint golden vertical line flashing between his brows.

In his line of sight.

A dark mountain, its height unknown, rose abruptly from the ground, its body adorned with doors of varying heights, colors, and patterns.

Extend outwards.

Before your eyes stretches an endless expanse of dark, inky water, with the tides crashing and eroding the mountains. With each collision, wisps of black and gray smoke rise and envelop the mountains.

"Black Tide - Foundation Establishment Realm -"

Meng Changsheng lowered his gaze, looked up, and his figure gradually dimmed before disappearing completely.

A dark gray mist surged in like a tide, engulfing the bronze gate.

Exit of the Yinming Cave.

Xiang Kui led the way, with Jiao Zuo, Ning Ze, and Bai Ling all wearing dark expressions. Seeing that the three remained silent, he coughed twice, turned around, and solemnly said, "Since the contract has been signed, there is absolutely no possibility of going back on it."

The three of them frowned instantly.

"Of course, other matters can be discussed further."

Xiang Kui smiled and said, "For example, by using my ancestor's natal spiritual ruins to support the foundation of his Dao—"

-

Ah!

The three men's eyes lit up immediately. "Really?"

Xiang Kui nodded, "We can discuss it."

"Then let's discuss it—"

The three smiled again and went out together, unaware that a golden thread had quietly entered their bodies.

The underworld.

A certain mound.

Zhu Yu took the Corpse Control Technique mark handed to him by Xiang Sui, and with a slight thought, he absorbed it into his body, then looked at the black tiger lying to the side.

Its aura was significantly stronger, indicating that Xiang Kui had clearly consumed a lot of resources to nurture it over the past few days.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother, the Foundation Establishment spiritual items I promised you will definitely be plentiful."

Xiang Sui patted his chest and assured him.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Zhu Yu nodded, then asked curiously, "Wasn't it said that the Tower of Fallen Gods was coming to investigate? Has it arrived yet?"

"They've come—"

Xiang Sui frowned and said, "But those people walked around the Yinming Cave twice and then left."

"Um?"

Zhu Yu was puzzled for a moment, but did not ask any further questions.

Xiang Sui suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said, "I almost forgot, Junior Brother Liang asked me to give you a message—"
