Chapter 418: Harvest, Crisis, Aspirations

The storage ring was sent to the first layer of the Immortal Prison and fell into Old Black’s hands.
“Master, do you really want to force it open? Don’t you care about losing such a top-tier storage ring?”
Old Black gave one final reminder, “It is said that treasures of this caliber, besides having considerable storage space, may also possess other functions.”
“No problem!”
Su Che replied without hesitation, “Being able to learn more about the secrets of the Immortal Prison—destroying such a storage device means nothing to me. Go ahead and do it.”
“Alright.”
Old Black nodded, showing his teeth. In truth, as the spirit of the device, he had an even stronger desire to understand the various secrets of the Immortal Prison space. His earlier reminder was merely his duty as a subordinate.
With his sharp claws, Old Black gently grasped the tiny ring and used the power of the Immortal Prison space’s rules to force open its storage space.
It was a brute-force approach, like picking a lock—nothing technical about it.
Just a few moments later, with a soft crack, the ring shattered completely, turning into a small pile of powder. Nothing else remained. Clearly, whatever was inside had been scattered somewhere due to the collapse of the space…
“Within the Immortal Prison, I am the ruler! The laws of space are determined by me!”
Old Black pointed at the open space in front of him and shouted, “Space passage, appear!”
Whoosh…
Immediately, a space black hole nearly two zhang in diameter appeared before them. Then, with a rush, a large amount of items poured out of the black hole—presumably all the items stored in Lin Feng’s ring.
“Haha, as expected!”
Old Black was overjoyed and quickly reported to Su Che, “Master, although the internal space of that ring collapsed, I felt that its storage space was connected to and merged with our Immortal Prison space. But it wasn’t connected to the first layer of the Immortal Prison—it was connected to the third layer of the Dan Realm. Following that subtle sensation, I seem to have grasped some rules related to space, so I summoned these items here…”
This was extremely mysterious, and it was hard to describe clearly in words. Yet Su Che understood—indeed, the Immortal Prison space was a completely independent realm. Storage devices brought in, even if their spaces collapsed, could not connect to the outside world but could only merge with the internal space of the Immortal Prison.

It sounds quite ordinary and unremarkable, but that’s not the case at all; this matter is extremely important.
Normally, whether in the realm of cultivation, the spiritual realm, or the immortal realm, the spatial magic artifacts created merely borrow a small amount of space from the larger universe outside, thus forming a private space of their own.
However, the magic artifacts you create cannot last forever; sooner or later, they will decay or be damaged. Once their internal space collapses, it will return to the embrace of the larger universe, just like rivers flowing back into the sea.
But currently, the internal space of the Immortal Prison is completely independent, seemingly having no connection to the outside universe, and it can even swallow and merge with magic artifact spaces from the outside. Put bluntly, it seizes the spatial power of the outside universe to expand itself, and there’s a possibility it will never return it.
If such things were made public, their significance would be immense. For cultivators on lower planes, it might not matter much, as ordinary cultivators focus more on improving their own cultivation skills, and space is not that important. Without it, they might still be killed; with it, they might still be killed—there’s little difference…
But for those at the pinnacle of power, whose cultivation has reached its ultimate limit and who can no longer surpass the laws of heaven through further cultivation, their pursuits must turn to other aspects.
“To create my own universe, and I will be the law of that universe!”
Perhaps this is their ultimate pursuit?
Of course, these things are also far too distant for Su Che. For now, he can only dream of them beautifully, not yet qualified to strive for them.
At this moment, looking at the pile of miscellaneous items before him, Lao He immediately selected over twenty magic artifacts, clearly identifying eight of them as top-grade Dao artifacts.
“Damn it, he still has so many Dao artifacts. This guy must be hiding something and siphoning resources!” Lao He said with certainty.
Su Che agreed. As an envoy from the spiritual realm, Lin Feng Shaojun had orchestrated a scheme to deceive those above him, with the main goal clearly being directed at him. Yet, he told his superiors that the purpose was mainly to award rewards and eliminate obstacles.
Moreover, it’s likely that the high-ranking figures in the spiritual realm intended to distribute two top-grade Dao artifacts and four to five mid-grade Dao artifacts to each of the seven major sects in the chaotic faction of the Qi Yuan Star cultivation realm.

It is evident just how much importance those powerful figures in the Spirit Realm attach to opening a passage to the lower world—they’re eager to arm the seven major sects to an invincible level. But when it came to Lin Feng, he managed to keep half of the rewards for himself, allocating one top-grade Dao artifact and three mid-grade Dao artifacts to each sect. Aside from the magical artifacts, it’s likely he also embezzled some of the pills and other items… “But now, all these things belong to our master,” laughed Lao He. “No matter how cunning that guy is, in the end, these treasures still end up benefiting us.” After counting them, it can be said that Young Master Lin Feng gave Su Che an incredibly generous gift upon descending to the lower world: two supreme-grade Dao artifacts, fifteen top-grade Dao artifacts, thirty-seven mid-grade Dao artifacts, hundreds of various spiritual pills beyond the heavenly grade, dozens of top-notch cultivation techniques, and countless other items… It can only be described as “a huge harvest”! Although Su Che already possessed various resources on Witch Yellow Star, high-grade magical artifacts had always been a separate source of wealth. Now, he had fifteen top-grade Dao artifacts at his disposal, which he could choose from freely—using whichever he wanted. Of course, the top-grade Dao artifacts he didn’t use would be given to his subordinates in the later stages of the Yuan Ying realm, such as Tai Xu and Wan Gui, because only those at this cultivation level could fully unleash the power of the top-grade Dao artifacts. Yet, despite such a substantial reward, Su Che wasn’t blindly optimistic; he still felt a sense of weight in his heart. After all, there was an 80% chance that Lin Feng had escaped back to the Spirit Realm. It was hard to say whether he would report the serious suspicion surrounding Su Che’s possession of the “Pagoda” magical artifact to those powerful figures in the Spirit Realm. “That possibility is high, but not absolute—it depends on how selfish he is.” Following Su Che’s thoughts, Old Demon Bai analyzed, “If Lin Feng’s desire to possess that treasure reaches a certain level, he’s likely to hide it. Even if his physical body is destroyed and he’s unable to descend to avenge himself for a while, he still has siblings, parents, and elders. If even one of his trusted relatives or friends descends to the lower world, the threat to our master will surely be several times worse than this time.” “Yes,” Su Che nodded in agreement. “That guy calls himself ‘Young Master.’ Judging from that title, his father or mother must be a powerful figure in the Spirit Realm. If we deal with the younger one, the older ones will come out—no matter what, it will bring endless trouble…”

“If it really doesn’t work, Master, you might as well take the entire Tianxuan Sect with you and head to another cultivation realm to establish a new base,” Lao He said through gritted teeth. “With our strength and wealth, we can quickly settle in any cultivation planet, and even unify that planet in a short time—no problem at all.”
“That’s what it seems,” Su Che thought to himself. “But think about it—almost every cultivation planet has a few powerful sects that can communicate with the Spirit Realm. If we go to their territory and rise strongly, and they can’t resist, they’ll surely report it to the ancestors in the Spirit Realm. The name of Tianxuan Sect will still reach their ears. Even if we change the sect’s name, they’re not fools—they might still associate it with me. This isn’t a lasting solution!”
“What then?” Lao He scratched his forehead, thinking for a while before suddenly exclaiming, “I think the best solution is to move the entire cultivation realm of Qiyuan Planet into Immortal Prison. All those sects—Tianxuan Sect, Taiyi Gate, Wan Gui Sect, Wuji Gate, Fantasy Demon Sect—bring them all into Immortal Prison World. Turn our first layer of Immortal Prison into the cultivation realm of Qiyuan Planet. That way, Master can carry a cultivation realm with him, roam freely through the starry skies, and hunt for resources on those primitive planets inhabited by the Witch Clan. How thrilling!”
“The idea isn’t bad,” Su Che said with a smirk. “But have you thought about it? If I bring all the sects of Qiyuan Planet’s cultivation realm into Immortal Prison, it would be ten times, even a hundred times more chaotic than a normal upheaval in the cultivation realm. Wouldn’t the people in the Spirit Realm immediately find an excuse to open a passage to the lower world and come down to punish me?”
“Uh…”
Lao He was speechless for a long time before sighing heavily. “Neither of these works. It’s really troublesome!”
“Still, the scenario you described earlier is actually quite good,” Su Che thought with a smile. “Moving the entire cultivation realm of Qiyuan Planet into Immortal Prison, then traveling around the stars with my hometown’s cultivation realm—such a lifestyle is indeed worth longing for.”
“Yes, Master. This deserves careful planning,” Bai Laomo nodded in agreement. “If done properly, we can carry out the relocation plan swiftly, like a gust of wind sweeping away everything. By the time the people in the Spirit Realm react, we’ll already be on Witch Yellow Planet. They can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. Hmm, this is worth giving some serious thought to…”

“Alright, leave this to you to figure out. I have other things to deal with.”
Su Che shifted his focus to another person inside the Immortal Prison.
Fei Yun!
Su Che had always said that regarding the secrets of the Immortal Prison, aside from Lao He, he would trust no one else, not even his future life partner.
So now, Fei Yun, who was deeply entwined with him in terms of gratitude, had been taken into the Immortal Prison. Logically, she shouldn’t be allowed to leave anymore.
But after all, she had genuinely helped him and even saved his life. Locking her up in another world—though the Immortal Prison world was vast—seemed rather heartless and unkind.
How should he explain this to her?
