Chapter 71: The Sky Canopy Organization

As soon as Yuwen Tianlan appeared, he severed Xiang Qing’s head and split it in two. Xiang Qing’s Soul Flower rose slowly, trying to flee in terror. Unfortunately, Yuwen Tianlan was incredibly fast. While slicing off Xiang Qing’s head with a sword, he grabbed it with his left hand, releasing a surge of green Wood Element Immortal Energy that formed a Wood Element domain, trapping Xiang Qing’s Soul Flower before quickly putting it into a Dimensional Sphere.

At the same time, Yuwen Tianlan flew into the stone cave. Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun had already surrounded Jing Yihong’s head, laughing as they watched him use the Wood Element Origin Stone to restore his body. As soon as Jing Yihong managed to regrow an arm, the four of them would immediately strike with their swords to break off the newly grown arm. Jing Yihong’s head, though twisted in rage, was helpless—even as a Earth Soul Immortal, he could do nothing without a body. After two attempts, Jing Yihong’s head fell to the ground, giving up on futile attempts to restore his body.

“Jing Yihong, you never expected that the Ghost Emperor Earth Pill you created would be taken by us, nor that we would take your life as well,” Xiang Xing sneered.

“Who are you people from? Aren’t you afraid of revenge from our Youhan Sect?” Jing Yihong snapped angrily.

At these words, Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun’s faces turned icy, with cold snorts escaping them.

“Jing Yihong, your Youhan Sect may dominate the Earthly Ghost Star Cluster, but our organization is far beyond your comparison,” Xiang Zhong said coldly.

By then, Xiang Zheng had already approached Jing Yihong’s head and grabbed it in one hand. Immediately afterward, the four of them headed deeper into the stone cave, where a strong scent of medicine filled the air.

Suddenly, Yuwen Tianlan flew in and appeared behind Xiang Zheng. With a single palm strike, he left a bloody mark on Xiang Zheng’s back—the intense Wood Element Immortal Energy causing a deep wound. Blood dripped down, a cruel sight.

Yuwen Tianlan’s sudden appearance destroyed Xiang Zheng’s body, rendering him powerless. Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, and Xiang Chun immediately sensed this and tried to turn around to resist, only to find their heads flying off their bodies and crashing against the cave walls. With cracking sounds, their heads were split in two.

Seeing the tragic scene at hand, Yuwen Tianlan merely smiled. In an instant, he moved his right hand, and the Woodly Immortal Energy enveloped the entire stone cave, freezing the heads of Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun. With another movement of his right hand, the pressure within the Woodly domain surged, causing Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, Xiang Chun, and Jing Yihong to all fall into a coma. Naturally, Yuwen Tianlan immediately brought all five heads into the Tiny Realm Sphere. After he entered the sphere as well, the Fire Lord suddenly emerged from it and flew deep into the stone cave. The cave was enormous, over a kilometer high, with underground magma flowing beneath it. Above the magma lay a ten-meter-wide red pill furnace, from which a misty aura emanated, looking extremely beautiful. At the same time, five different auras of medicinal pills burst forth from the furnace, each one incredibly powerful. The Fire Lord glanced at the furnace, smiled, and immediately took out a mid-grade immortal artifact called the Floating Fire Silk, throwing it in. The Silk floated softly, but its tip was as sharp as a sword. It swiftly pierced into the furnace and wrapped out the five Ghostly Imperial Earth Pills. There were five pills, one for each of the five elements, all at the level of one-star Earth Soul Immortals. The pills came in various colors—gold, green, blue, red, and yellow—round and full of vitality. With these five Ghostly Imperial Earth Pills, once the Gold Lord, Wood Lord, Water Lord, Fire Lord, and Earth Lord all reached the higher rank of Human Soul Immortals, taking these pills and with the help of the Soul Devouring Bloodline and the Enlightenment Stele, they should be able to quickly advance to one-star Earth Soul Immortals. The Fire Lord, carrying the five pills, immediately entered the Tiny Realm Sphere.

In a valley within the Tiny Realm Sphere, the heads of Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun were placed together. The five heads formed a circle, looking at each other’s eyes and seeing doubt and unease in one another’s gazes. At that moment, Qu Yi came over, sat beside the five heads, and laughed heartily. After a while, Qu Yi controlled the energy within the sphere, causing five whirlwinds of primal energy to descend upon the five heads, helping them reunite and restore their physical bodies. Soon, Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun regained their bodies. “Who are you?” Xiang Qing asked calmly. Meanwhile, Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun were horrified to find that their immortal energies were trapped inside their bodies. They tried to unleash them to attack Qu Yi, but nothing happened.

Qu Yi looked at the five of them casually and smiled, “You five, what organization do you belong to? Why did you come to steal the Ghost Emperor Pill from the Youhan Sect?”
“We cannot disclose it!” Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun all shouted in unison.
With great determination.
Qu Yi was taken aback, somewhat surprised.
At that moment, the Artifact God suddenly transmitted a message, “Qu Yi, I’ve already scanned the souls of these five and know their origins. Knock them out, and I’ll apply the Soul Storage Technique to them. We’ll still need them in the future.”
Upon hearing the Artifact God’s words, Qu Yi was momentarily stunned. He really didn’t understand how the Artifact God had already scanned their souls. But he knew the Artifact God wouldn’t lie to him—since it said it had scanned their souls, it must have completed the process.
Without hesitation, as the five of them still showed firm expressions, Qu Yi suddenly flicked his hand, producing five sharp slaps in an instant, knocking Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun unconscious.
At this point, the infant-like Artifact God appeared and landed beside them.
“Qu Yi, insert your Immortal Consciousness into each of their soul spaces,” the Artifact God said calmly.
Qu Yi was puzzled again, unsure of what the Artifact God intended, but he did as instructed. Soon, his Immortal Consciousness entered Xiang Qing’s soul space and found his Soul Flower.
The infant-shaped Artifact God then pointed his index and middle fingers together at Xiang Qing’s head.
A golden beam entered Xiang Qing’s soul space, entwining Qu Yi’s Immortal Consciousness and heading straight for the Soul Flower, where it created a small hole. The golden beam wrapped around Qu Yi’s Immortal Consciousness, forming a golden sphere, which then entered the hole in the Soul Flower. After that, Xiang Qing’s soul space returned to calm, and the Soul Flower remained intact, as if nothing had happened.
Immediately afterward, Qu Yi and the Artifact God acted together, applying the Soul Storage Technique to the Soul Flowers of Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun as well.
The five still hadn’t awakened.
The Artifact God looked at them and smiled, “Qu Yi, I’ve erased all memories of what just happened to these five. Now, send them out of the Dimensional Ball.”
Hearing this, Qu Yi’s face showed astonishment. Curiously, he asked, “Artifact God, is your Soul Technique that powerful? I didn’t see you do anything, yet you accomplished all this.”

The Artifact God lowered its head and did not answer.
Qu Yi felt disappointed for a moment, clenched his fist, then helplessly sent Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun back into the Inch Realm Ball, returning them to the stone cave.
At that moment, the Artifact God snapped its fingers, and a soft chair descended from the sky. The Artifact God jumped onto it and sat down.
“Qu Yi, these five people come from a mysterious organization called Tianmu. This Tianmu organization is enormous, spanning the entire Immortal Realm. Moreover, its members were all adopted at a secret place from a young age to receive training,” said the Artifact God with a smile.
Tianmu Organization.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yi became very interested. The most powerful forces in the Immortal Realm were well-known to be the five strongest factions in the five star domains. Yet, he had never heard of this Tianmu Organization before.
The Immortal Realm consisted of five star domains: Jinxuan Star Domain, Mufeng Star Domain, Shuihu Star Domain, Huoxia Star Domain, and Tugui Star Domain. Each of these star domains had a core star—Jinxuan Star, Mufeng Star, Shuihu Star, Huoxia Star, and Tugui Star—where the strongest immortals of that domain gathered. Thus, the five major factions in these star domains were called the Jinxuan Alliance, Mufeng Star Alliance, Shuihu Star Alliance, Huoxia Alliance, and Tugui Alliance.
After thinking for a while, Qu Yi asked with a smile, “Artifact God, which faction does this Tianmu Organization belong to?”
The Artifact God smiled faintly and replied seriously, “It doesn’t belong to any organization. It belongs to one person—Chang Xin, the ruler of the Jinxuan Star Domain, who is also the leader of the Jinxuan Alliance.”
Qu Yi’s face immediately showed surprise. This Chang Xin already had his own faction in the Immortal Realm, yet he had secretly established another private organization, showing just how ambitious he was.
Then, Qu Yi curiously asked, “Artifact God, what was the purpose of the Soul Storage Technique you used just now?”
Normally, the Artifact God would help Qu Yi imprint a soul mark on other cultivators’ Soul Flowers. But this time, it changed tactics and used the Soul Storage Technique, which naturally left Qu Yi puzzled.
The Artifact God smiled and said, “Chang Xin must also be highly skilled in soul techniques. The Tianmu Organization he established has already applied Soul Fragments to everyone. If a member betrays them, their Soul Flower will shatter, leading to death. However, since Chang Xin encountered me, the ancestor of souls, I was able to take advantage of this. Qu Yi, these five people need to complete certain tasks before Chang Xin sends them to the Demon Realm or the Fiend Realm. As long as any one of them goes to the Demon Realm, you can use the Boundless Star Map to cross over there.”
Upon hearing this, Qu Yi fell silent, staring at the Artifact God for a long time without speaking.

As long as there is a soul coordinate, the Boundless Stars can traverse there. It turns out that the Artifact God used the Soul Storage Technique so that he could go to the Demon Realm and the Fiend Realm in the future.
