Chapter 367: Entering the Mi Xian Realm Again

At Wuji Gate, the first words Tianyin said to Su Che were, “Alright, I lost.”
“I just won by luck,” Su Che smiled. “I really didn’t expect your ability to refine an infant soul to be this fast.”
“I have special methods. Still, I lost anyway,” Tianyin exhaled softly. “As agreed, you can make three requests. Whatever it is, I’ll agree to it.”
“There are no requests,” Su Che shook his head with a smile. “I just said it casually back then. If I really had to think about it, I really can’t think of anything.”
“Then just consider it owed. Anyway, I won’t default.”
Tianyin pouted slightly, her expression showing a hint of frustration. She really hadn’t expected to lose, because only she knew how many special methods, none of which existed in the cultivation world, she had used for this bet.
Reaching the stage of refining an infant soul in just one month and nine days was a feat that could break all records in the cultivation world over hundreds of millions of years—yet she still lost…
Su Che felt that Tianyin’s cultivation level was already quite solid, and she didn’t need to retreat to stabilize it. So he asked, “When can we set off?”
“At the earliest, in three years,” Tianyin replied seriously.
“Three years?” Su Che was stunned. What did that mean? Why wait until three years later?
“However…” Tianyin narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled slyly, “you can make one request so that I can take you there right now.”
Ah, so that’s how it is. Su Che nodded generously. “No problem. Then I’ll take one request off the list.”
In the Immortal Prison, Lao He muttered under his breath, “See? Women are the best at being untrustworthy.”
Set off!
After leaving Wuji Gate, under Tianyin’s guidance, Su Che used the Star Emperor Compass to fly straight south.
Now that she had reached the Yuan Ying stage, Tianyin also had excellent flying magic artifacts, but she still preferred using Su Che’s Star Emperor Compass. Besides, it was enough for one person to control the artifact—there was no need for both of them to waste their spiritual energy.
Along the way, Su Che was filled with anticipation and excitement. If everything went well this time in the Mi Xian Realm, he wouldn’t just obtain a few drops of the Witch God’s true blood; he might also “find” many high-grade magic artifacts, such as a large number of spiritual treasures or one or two Dao artifacts.
Millions of years ago, the cultivation world was still unified. The Witch Clan killed countless powerful cultivators in order to seize their primordial souls, with even the weakest of them being at the Lian Xu stage.
Because the Witch Clan possessed immense physical strength, their transformed bodies could reach a height of a thousand zhang, so their primordial souls had to be at least at the Lian Xu stage to match them.

Think about it—how many treasures were left behind by those powerful cultivators killed by them, all scattered throughout the Mi Xian Realm. Among them, the Lesser Mi Xian Realm has been explored hundreds of times by later generations, yet they haven’t been able to collect all those treasures. Not to mention, the even more advanced treasures left in the Greater Mi Xian Realm have never been discovered at all…

“The Witch Clans plundered the primordial souls and attempted to ascend to the Immortal Realm, only to suffer punishment from the Heavenly Dao.”

During the flight, Tian Yin spoke softly, “The power of the Heavenly Dao is irresistible. Fortunately, the Mi Xian Realm took on all of that punishment, though it was split into two—Greater and Lesser Mi Xian Realm. Moreover, during that punishment, the three sacred artifacts of the Witch Clans also disappeared without a trace. At that time, all the members of the Witch Clans ascended and didn’t even have time to stay in the cultivation world to search for those sacred artifacts…”

“The three sacred artifacts of the Witch Clans?” Su Che asked curiously. “I only know that the Mi Xian Flag is one of them. What are the other two?”

“The Ancestor Witch Altar and the Creation Divine Stone,” Tian Yin replied in a low voice. “The Ancestor Witch Altar can be rebuilt, but the Creation Divine Stone is an innate divine artifact. We must do everything possible to find it. You know, there are very few such innate divine artifacts even in the Immortal Realm.”

Su Che thought to himself, “The giant altar seen in the illusion created by the Mi Xian Flag must be the Ancestor Witch Altar. Then, that huge black stone in the Immortal Prison is almost certainly the Creation Divine Stone, the innate divine artifact mentioned by Tian Yin.”

Su Che knew something about ‘innate divine artifacts’—they were super treasures that existed from the beginning of time, nurtured in the chaotic void before the creation of heaven and earth. Each one possessed incredibly miraculous and astonishing powers or effects.

Lao He was extremely excited and immediately reminded him, “We’ve long guessed that this black stone isn’t ordinary. Who would have thought it’s actually an innate divine artifact? Its power must be incredible. We’ve only utilized a tiny fraction of it. Master, definitely don’t tell Tian Yin about this. If she asks you to return it to the Witch Clans, things will get complicated. You surely don’t want to kill her to keep quiet, right?”

Su Che nodded inwardly. But unexpectedly, Tian Yin’s next words made him and Lao He feel extremely ashamed.

They heard Tian Yin say softly, “If the Creation Divine Stone is already in your possession, or if you have the chance to acquire it in the future, never make a fuss about it. Keep it for yourself. Only when you ascend to the Immortal Realm and become a true immortal will you truly understand the wonder and power of innate divine artifacts.”

“Understood.”

Su Che’s expression turned slightly awkward; even a fool could tell. Tian Yin had already guessed that the Creation Divine Stone might have fallen into her hands along with the Mi Xian Ling Banner. If not for him asking about it today, Tian Yin would never have mentioned the words “Creation Divine Stone” at all.
Clearly, he was judging a gentleman by the standards of a cautious person!
In the Immortal Prison, Lao He was also quite embarrassed. Scratching his forehead, he muttered, “This woman is really great. Master, marry her.”
“Get lost!” Su Che cursed in his heart. “You’re such a fickle guy with an unstable stance.”
“Hehe…” Lao He had thick skin and could still laugh.
Su Che scolding Lao He was just a joke between master and servant, but deep down, he was truly moved by Tian Yin’s words earlier. Lao He was right—Tian Yin was extremely kind to him, always thinking of his needs…
Tian Yin, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, seemingly having completely forgotten about the Creation Divine Stone mentioned earlier.
After flying for nearly five hundred thousand miles, they reached the southernmost tip of Qi Yuan Star. Su Che knew that just a few thousand miles further lay a famous desolate area in the cultivation world—the Bottomless Abyss.
The region where the Bottomless Abyss was located had extremely scarce spiritual energy, rampant poisonous miasma, and no living things could thrive there, making it unsuitable for anyone to cultivate. Apart from some low-level cultivators of the demonic path who came here to collect the poisonous miasma to craft deadly magical artifacts, few others would venture there.
The huge crater at its center was the origin of the Bottomless Abyss’s name. In the cultivation world, it was often used to describe feeling at rock bottom when in a bad mood or situation, referring to this bottomless crater.
The poisonous miasma surrounding it certainly couldn’t stop Yuan Ying cultivators. Su Che and Tian Yin quickly reached above the crater. Before them lay an enormous crater with a diameter of dozens of miles, resembling the most terrifying cosmic black holes in the starry sky, capable of devouring everything in the world.
“If my guess is right, the Mi Xian Realm is hidden beneath this,” Tian Yin said softly.
Su Che nodded silently. Of course, he knew that the interior space of the Mi Xian Realm might be even larger than Qi Yuan Star. But as the only spatial artifact in the universe capable of containing the Witch Clan, its grade must be extremely high. Its external size could change at will—becoming as tiny as invisible dust should be no problem at all.
Then let’s go down!
They plummeted vertically for thousands of feet into the crater. Soon, Su Che felt immense pressure coming from all sides, as if he were being squeezed in the palm of a Witch Clan giant, at risk of being crushed to death at any moment.
Huh!

The wealthy man was summoned out. With this precious defensive artifact with him, there was no need to expend a great deal of vital energy to resist with physical strength. The wealthy man’s defensive barrier enveloped Su Che and Tian Yin, and the two immediately felt lighter, returning to their normal state. “Where does this pressure come from?” Su Che wondered. “This place is rather special. The planetary gravity has become abnormal, creating immense pressure, which is also the main reason for the lack of spiritual energy in this area,” Tian Yin explained. “It’s just a natural phenomenon; there’s nothing mysterious about it. In the universe, there are many strange places and strange planets. Once you see enough of them, you stop finding them strange.” Su Che nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, the explanation given by the old demon Bai in the Immortal Prison was more or less the same. As they descended tens of thousands of feet, the golden light of the wealthy man’s defensive barrier grew brighter, indicating that the external pressure was also increasing. It was estimated that without advanced defensive artifacts, even someone at the Yuan Ying cultivation level would not fare well here. “That’s enough. Take out the Mi Xian Order Flag,” Tian Yin suddenly said. “Okay!” Su Che immediately took out the Mi Xian Order Flag. As soon as it appeared, a brilliant light erupted, generating an inexplicable attractive force that pulled the Star Emperor Compass toward a certain spot at the bottom of the pit, causing it to continue descending at an inclined angle. After descending another about three thousand feet, Su Che and Tian Yin suddenly disappeared without a trace. Clearly, they had been drawn into the completely invisible Mi Xian Realm. Holding the Mi Xian Order Flag, entering the Mi Xian Realm was actually very easy, even easier than Su Che had thought. The bottom of the pit had originally been pitch black, allowing one to discern things only through spiritual perception. Suddenly, everything around them became brightly lit, as if they had entered another world without any warning. This strange vast world before them was the true Mi Xian Realm, the unified Mi Xian Realm. There was no sun in the sky, yet the entire space was brightly lit, with no visible source of light. Su Che and Tian Yin were still floating in the air, not yet having time to land. Suddenly, the air ahead underwent a distorted change… Su Che knew that that foolish guardian was about to appear. Sure enough, a translucent giant phantom appeared before them, bowing to Su Che, who was holding the flag, and saying, “Why has the master holding the flag returned to the Mi Xian Realm so early?” He had said that Su Che should return to the Mi Xian Realm a hundred years later. Calculated accordingly, only ten years had passed so far.

“With nothing to do, I came back to stroll around and pick up some items along the way.” Su Che knew this guy had no emotions or temper, so there was no need to be too polite when talking to him. “What, it’s not allowed?”
The guardian hesitated for a moment, seemingly thinking for a short while before saying, “There’s no rule stating that the lord cannot come back to collect items.”
“Then it’s fine.”
Su Che waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “Then, bring me a bucket of the True Blood of the Witch God first.”
