Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 723: Another Week



Another week passed.

Tian Shiwang finally arrived at the Azure Mystic Realm, but he did not go to see Fei Long and the natives of the realm, especially since they were just useless chess pieces in his eyes. Instead, he went to see his five immortal subordinates in the main tomb of the ancient king island, and he was satisfied to see the darkness inside it getting thicker.

Despite exerting more than half of his strength to break the formation shielding the coffin, Tian Shiwang was still unable to open the ancient king's coffin, leaving him disappointed.

"It seems we need a key to open this formation, but we don't have any information about it, especially since its owner lived long before our era." Tian Shiwang simply nodded to Lu Shen, who approached him. "How did your search for the Cultivator Forbidden Land go? Did you manage to find any signs of Long Wang and Feng Xian'er in that realm?"

"No." Tian Shiwang answered with a shake of his head. "I feel that there is something wrong with that realm, especially since I clearly remember that Long Wang assigned people from the Shu Clan to protect it. We have indeed slaughtered almost all of the clan members, but many of them managed to escape. They have always been loyal to his orders, and I am sure they will not forget their duty to protect that realm, but I cannot find any of their members in that realm."

Lu Shen delved into contemplation and scrutinized everything. "Could it be that the spirit women have contacted their members in that realm? Given the unpredictable nature of Xiao Shijian's thoughts and actions, it is likely that she already knows that we are looking for them. Therefore, she and her other sisters have evacuated them from that realm."

"Actually, I had also thought about that possibility, but Xie Zhongzhu ordered me to check the middle and upper realms, so I immediately went to this realm." Lu Shen smiled faintly when she heard that, but no one knew what was in her mind, including Tian Shiwang. "Moreover, he and his wife have spent a week in that realm, but they still haven't found any clues."

"Speaking of them, where did they go now? Did they return to their sub-realm directly?" Tian Shiwang immediately told Lu Shen about the news he got from Xie Zhongzhu a week ago. "Haha! We have already submitted to them and helped them to get rid of Long Wang, but they still don't believe in our abilities, especially Mo Zuhuang. They even chose to check the lower realm by themselves, but I have heard from Bai Qingcheng that they also couldn't find any clues on all the planets in the lower realms, so I'm sure their intentions will be in vain."

"I think it's natural that they don't trust us, especially since we still haven't managed to subdue those realms, even though we've been trying for a thousand years." Lu Shen naturally knew which realms Tian Shiwang was referring to. "The Three Realm is one of the headquarters of Long Wang's loyal followers, and their defenses are so strong that I can't break them. The Fairy Realm is where the natural races live, and they are also completely loyal to him, even though they don't like to interfere too much with outside affairs. The hundred refining realms are also not willing to submit to us, and they have something to absorb the darkness, so we cannot subdue them by force."

Lu Shen nodded in agreement with that. "Ling Zhuyin is still very strong, even though she didn't get the darkness from the dark race, and she also has a close relationship with Shang Ditian, so he gave her a lot of equipment that can ward off the darkness. As for the Tianshan realm, we have never managed to find their tracks, especially since that realm always moves so fast, and they almost never stop in other realms. What about Du Xian, Mu Xian, and Shen Xiaren?

"Tch! Don't talk about those fools!" Tian Shiwang retorted angrily; even his face darkened. "A thousand years have passed, but they still haven't managed to find that annoying cockroach! If only I could get his dual cultivation technique, my cultivation might have been broken through to the immortal venerable by now. That way, I no longer need to be afraid of Xie Zhongzhu and Mo Zuhuang, and we can be free from their control."

"Aren't you too confident about that?" Tian Shiwang immediately turned to Shui Xian, who approached them with the other three and a frown on his face. "We all know that Xie Zhongzhu and Mo Zuhuang are cultivators at the immortal venerable level, but their darkness makes them stronger than other cultivators at that level. Even if we have reached that level and worked together to attack them, I am not sure that we can defeat them."

Xian Feng immediately added. "Instead, Xie Zhongzhu will draw the darkness back from our bodies, and we will be weakened again, which will further reduce our chances of defeating them."

"The only way for us to defeat them is to open the dragon realm." They raised their eyebrows at Wang Zhi. "Long Wang stores his ultimate power in his dragon core; even Xie Zhongzhu is eager to obtain it, as it will enhance his strength if he successfully absorbs it. Unfortunately, no one was able to enter that realm after he sealed it before his death, including Long Dan, who was also part of the dragon race."

Upon hearing that, Tian Shiwang immediately turned to Zu Zhoushi and questioned him. "Do you think Long Tianshi is dead because of your curse?"

"Not yet." Zu Zhoushi immediately explained Long Tianshi's situation to Tian Shiwang and the others. "Do you think that she can open the dragon realm? I know that she is the second strongest after Long Wang, especially thanks to her celestial bloodline. However, her strength is still not comparable to his, so I am not sure that she opened it."

"I don't think she can open the dragon realm." Tian Shiwang's answer confused them. "Since she is the second strongest after Long Wang, her power stored in the dragon core will be useful to us, so I thought of going to the Celestial Realm to retrieve her body. Moreover, not only her core, but all of her body parts also have her strength, even if it is not as much as her core. Thanks to Long Dan, we managed to obtain the hearts of several members of the dragon race and implant them into our bodies, but all of them are not the main members of that race like her, so I want to take her heart and implant it into my body to replace the previous one."

"I think you can do that, but it's not easy for us to enter the Celestial Realm. Moreover, the number of their race members is not small, and many of them have reached the same level as us, so we will face strong resistance from them." Tian Shiwang himself was naturally aware of that, but he also didn't want to continue being suppressed by Xie Zhongzhu and Mo Zuhuang, especially since he was the king of heaven, and they had always treated him as a slave that they could dispose of whenever they wanted. "If you want to snatch Long Tianshi from their hands, then we have no other choice but to wage an open war with them. However, our chance of winning is only fifty percent, especially since their realm will immediately purify our darkness. We might be able to increase our chances if we sacrifice a lot of people, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to sacrifice them just for the sake of getting a dragon."

"What about those other dragons? I recall that many of the main members of the dragon race, including Long Hei, managed to escape."

"Long Hei was helped by the spirit of darkness and the spirit of void to create his own sub- realm, and he was extremely powerful when he was there. Even Xie Zhongzhu, as the leader of the dark race, did not dare underestimate him, so it is too risky for us to look for him." Lu Shen paused for a moment before returning to their conversation. "Our best option is to search for other dragons, such as Long Lianxin, as her body is unique compared to those of her siblings, including Long Wang."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What do you mean by that?" Shui Xian asked in confusion, and the other immortals also showed the same reaction as her.

Instead, Lu Shen shook her head at them. "I don't know for sure about the specialness of her body, but I've heard Feng Xian'er mention it before. If we want to find her, then we should search all the realms with the highest concentration of fire elements, especially since she is

the last fire dragon."

After that, Tian Shiwang immediately ordered some of his other subordinates to check all the realms in the upper realms that had the strongest concentration of fire elements, and he also ordered his subordinates, who were still searching for traces of the spirit women in the lower realms, to do the same. He then turned to Wang Zhi, Xian Feng, and Shui Xian. "I want the three of you to search for such a place in these middle realms, and Lu Shen will stay here to help Zu Zhoushi take care of these useless slaves."

The three immortals immediately followed his orders and left the Azure Mystic Realm, and Tian Shiwang himself also left to carry out Xie Zhongzhu's order.
