Chapter 460: Misunderstandings in the Immortal Realm

Fei Yun and Ye Lan couldn’t keep dragging this little girl around for too long, lest she become suspicious. They could only, as usual, offer a few words of concern and advice regarding cultivation before sending her away.
However, Lao He, who was in a nearly invisible state, secretly followed her, using telepathy to explore the world in her mind.
More than an hour passed before Su Che received Lao He’s report.
“Master, this little girl named ‘Qian Liu’ comes from the Immortal Realm!” Lao He’s tone was somewhat heavy.
“As expected, it’s the Immortal Realm.”
Su Che nodded firmly. In fact, his own suspicions also pointed toward the Immortal Realm.
Lao He explained in detail: “That celestial tremor that occurred over a decade ago, though it originated in the Spirit Realm and the Cultivation Realm, surely couldn’t go unnoticed by the immortals in the Immortal Realm. Some top-tier immortals immediately deduced that the tremor foretold the Wuguo clan’s rebellion against heaven. They could even pinpoint that the starting point and center of this great calamity was precisely this star region where Qiyuan Star lies.”
“Yes,” Su Che thought. “If the immortals in the Immortal Realm can create formations like the Five Elements Star Lock to restrict the Wuguo clan on various planets, surely they would take action against Qiyuan Star as well.”
He had suspected this years ago, finding it strange that the immortals in the Immortal Realm hadn’t taken any measures against Qiyuan Star…
“Restricting the Wuguo clan on various planets is just one of the overt moves by the immortals in the Immortal Realm. There are certainly many hidden moves as well. This little girl named Qian Liu is one of those hidden moves.”
Lao He tapped his own head twice, seemingly troubled, and said, “With over a dozen people’s thoughts constantly chatter in my head, if I were that Qian Liu, I’d have gone mad by now.”
“Stop wasting time and get to the point,” Su Che said impatiently. After all, this involved matters related to the Immortal Realm, which could mean an unstoppable disaster for someone as insignificant as him.
“Qian Liu, like me, is actually an artifact spirit in her true identity,” Lao He said slowly. “She is the reincarnation of the spirit of a special magical artifact from the Immortal Realm. Moreover, her soul also contains fragments of the immortal souls of eighteen top-tier immortals.”
“More immortal souls…” Su Che murmured to himself.
“The ultimate goal of this combined reincarnation of these nineteen souls is to target the Wuguo clan’s sacred land, Mi Xian Realm.”

Lao He continued, “Qian Liu is a spirit vessel. Her core should be a highly advanced special-type magic artifact, possessing the power to refine other magic artifacts. The other eighteen immortal souls will work together with her. After infiltrating the Mi Xian Realm, they will form a large refining array to completely refine this realm, which was once the immortal abode of ancient immortals, turning it into a spatial magic artifact under the control of all immortals in the immortal realm.”
“Once this is accomplished, it means the Witch Clan will lose their most important sacred site for transformation. From then on, they will no longer have the ability to seize the primordial spirits of cultivators, and their rise plan will be doomed to failure.”
Lao He emphasized his words, saying solemnly, “Seizing the Mi Xian Realm is what all the immortals in the immortal realm consider the ultimate solution to eliminate threats at their root!”
“I understand,” Su Che nodded inwardly. “This plan is indeed quite ingenious. The Mi Xian Realm was originally an immortal abode created by some ancient immortal, and the Witch Clan has never fully refined its core monument. Although I have initially refined that monument, I only have control over 30% of the Mi Xian Realm. If it were the true immortals from the immortal realm to do this, they would surely find a way to fully refine the entire Mi Xian Realm and take complete control of it…”
After thinking this through, Su Che asked out of curiosity, “Since Qian Liu bears such a heavy responsibility, why would she be willing to move into the Immortal Prison along with the many beings of Qi Yuan Star?”
Lao He laughed heartily and replied, “It’s their bad luck—they made a serious mistake in judgment! Eight years ago, when they learned about Qi Yuan Star’s grand migration plan, they mistakenly thought that all the beings of Qi Yuan Star would move to the Mi Xian Realm, which would suit their plans to infiltrate it. After all, all the immortals in the immortal realm agree that in the cultivation world, above Qi Yuan Star, there is only one spatial magic artifact capable of accommodating hundreds of billions of beings—that is the Mi Xian Realm!”
“The immortals in the immortal realm mistakenly thought that Qi Yuan Star’s grand migration plan was a move devised by the Witch Clan, which should be extremely important to them. But who could have imagined that such a earth-shattering migration plan was actually born out of your kindness, master?”
Lao He laughed loudly. “To some extent, the immortals in the immortal realm are judging noble people with petty minds. How could they expect that there exists someone as noble, great, and compassionate as my master in this world…”

“Enough!” Su Che hurriedly stopped him. His flattery sent chills down Su Che’s spine, as he knew best that he never had such lofty spiritual aspirations—whether it came to being a gentleman or great or not.
Lao He’s loud laughter turned into a sinister chuckle: “Anyway, this time, the immortals in the Immortal Realm really got it wrong. They didn’t consider the massive migration of hundreds of billions of beings from a ‘good’ perspective at all; they only thought of evil, malicious, bloody things… They thought the Witch Clan needed to carry out some kind of grand sacrifice, and that these hundreds of billions of beings would become sacrifices in the Mi Xian Realm, facing a tragic end.”
Su Che nodded in agreement: Indeed, it was unlikely anyone else in the world could guess that the grand migration plan on Qi Yuan Star contained no major schemes or conspiracies at all. It was simply because of his 70% sense of fun and 30% kindness that he formulated, implemented, and ultimately completed this unprecedented migration of hundreds of billions of beings… If such the truth were revealed, probably no one would believe it.
“The funniest part is…”
Lao He laughed heartily: “Even now, Qian Liu and the eighteen immortal souls in her mind still think that our Immortal Prison Space is the inner world of the Mi Xian Realm—the only peculiar space in the universe capable of accommodating the Witch Clan.”
Su Che couldn’t help but laugh too: “So they’re still planning to refine our Immortal Prison World?”
“Yes.”
Lao He nodded in reply: “They found out that Fei Yun and Ye Lan are the closest friends to the master, so they infiltrated Yun Lan Tian, hoping to use Fei Yun and Ye Lan to figure out the exact location of the Town Government Stele.”
As he spoke, Lao He continued to laugh, but Su Che’s expression turned serious as he said in a deep voice, “This may sound ridiculous, but for me, it’s not good news. At the very least, it proves that the immortals in the Immortal Realm have their eyes on me. In their eyes, I’ve become someone who must be eliminated, right?”
“Not exactly.”
Lao He replied casually: “Judging from what Qian Liu and the others think, the immortals in the Immortal Realm don’t hold much hostility toward you, the master. Because they see you as part of the Witch Clan, the kind of people represented by Tian Yin.”

“They believe that all your achievements and actions are due to the fact that you are the reincarnation of some ancient shaman, bearing a mission that the shaman clan must fulfill. Even if they get rid of you, there will be other reincarnations to continue these missions. So, they don’t value you; they only care about the Mi Xian Realm.”
Lao He laughed heartily. “Master, I think one reason why the immortals in the Immortal Realm have so many misunderstandings about you is directly related to the deception and fraud committed by those in the Spirit Realm. To seize the sacred artifact, the Immortal Prison Pagoda, they must, in a sense, ‘protect you’ at all costs and prevent you from falling into the hands of the immortals in the Immortal Realm.”
“Yes, that’s definitely it!”
Su Che murmured, “It sounds complicated, but actually it’s simple. The Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm each have their own schemes and calculations. For their own interests, they act hypocritically and deceive one another… And I must take advantage of this to seek a glimmer of hope among these three giants— the Spirit Realm, the Immortal Realm, and the shaman clan…”
After thinking this through, Su Che asked himself, “Since Qian Liu has entered the Immortal Prison, shouldn’t she completely cut off all ties with the Immortal Realm?”
“Of course!”
Lao He replied proudly, “Once inside the Immortal Prison, all connections to the outside world are severed. For these eight years, they’ve been unable to contact the Immortal Realm and have been troubled by it. However, since they know so little about the Mi Xian Realm, they think the sacred land of the shaman clan might indeed possess the power to block all connections.”
“Then, can the fourth level of the Immortal Prison enslave Qian Liu and the eighteen immortal souls in her mind?” Su Che asked further.
“No!”
Lao He’s answer was absolute. “Although Qian Liu’s physical strength isn’t high, the level of her souls is extremely high. For now, our fourth level of the Immortal Prison isn’t capable of transforming souls related to ‘immortals’.”
“If we can’t enslave their souls, then…”
Su Che pondered for a moment before making a decision. “Then let’s put it aside for now. There’s no need to rush to deal with them. After all, even if they’re powerful inside the Immortal Prison, they can’t do much. Our Immortal Prison space doesn’t even need any sacred steles to allow them to refine themselves.”
“Master means…” Lao He guessed something vaguely.

“Yes, I intend to keep them. If necessary, we can use them to pass false information to the Immortal Realm and such,” Su Che said in a low voice, his eyes narrowing slightly. “If the plan is clever enough, we can even smear those in the Spirit Realm and use the power of the Immortal Realm to punish them.”
“A divide-and-conquer strategy!” Lao He suddenly understood.
“More or less,” Su Che nodded. “But it’s definitely not as simple as you think. After all, our opponents are super-powerful beings who have lived for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years. Each of them is extremely wise. It’s not easy to trick them.”
“That’s true,” Lao He said, scratching his forehead. “For something like this, we need Lao Bai to use his brain.”
As soon as he said that, he immediately denied himself: “No, Lao Bai is even more useless! Just now he was firmly convinced that the master hadn’t caught the attention of the Immortal Realm. Look, in less than three hours, we’ve already determined that the master has fallen under the notice of the Immortal Realm’s deities.”
Su Che chuckled. “We can’t say Lao Bai is useless. It’s just that our opponents are clearly more cunning than him.”
This discovery could be put aside for now, but Su Che was now certain that even these peaceful days trapped on Witch Yellow Star might not last much longer.
Because Qian Liu hadn’t been able to make contact with the Immortal Realm for eight years, which meant the plan to seize the Mi Xian Realm was stuck in a deadlock. So, the deities of the Immortal Realm couldn’t just do nothing. Perhaps some catastrophic change would occur soon.
It might target him, or Witch Yellow Star, or even all the Witch clans’ inhabited planets in the cultivation world…
