Bai Shang's sudden arrival and disappearance cast a shadow over Yu Yuan's heart.
Bai Shang had come on the Silver Moon Queen's orders.
He was an earth demon, a fish that had escaped the net of the Fallen Moon Forbidden Land. Therefore, the two figures behind the empress must also be crooks from the forbidden land.
Therefore, it seemed that the Silver Moon Empire, which bordered the forbidden land, had a lot to do with the forbidden land since its founding.
The powerful sects and forces in Haoran would never allow the Other Souls to wreak havoc in the world.
If the news of the Silver Moon Empire's collusion with the crooks from the forbidden land spread, it would probably draw the ire of many sects.
At the same time, he, who carried the ancient sword intent, should have been the enemy of all those outsider souls who had been imprisoned in the forbidden area, since he had caused the Heaven-sealing Soul-vanquishing Formation to reappear in the forbidden area.
If that were to happen, would it be possible for the empress of the empire to kill him under the bewitchment of those demons?
Would the Yu Clan, where he had been born, be destroyed by the Silver Moon Empire because of him?
"There's no need to think too much about it. From what I can see, even if the empress of your empire has some sort of entanglement with Bai Shang, she should only be using him." Zhou Cangmin said indifferently. "It's not as serious as you think. It's common for the Devil's Palace and our Red Devil School's grand cultivators to capture and refine Earth Demons in dangerous places and use them as the souls of demonic tools.
"It's not a taboo for Yang Gods and Freedom Realm grand cultivators to travel the starry river to capture special heavenly demons and practice heaven-reaching incantations.
"As long as they aren't bewitched by the crooks, it's not impossible to enslave and enslave them."
Zhou Cangmin said these words in a very natural manner.
However, Yan Qiling's expression was very unsightly, and his eyes grew cold.
Yu Yuan was well aware that Yan Qiling was originally the soul of the Soul-splitting Staff. He had been refined by the owner of the bronze coffin when he was still in the Shenhun Sect.
Due to fate, Yan Qiling managed to break free with great difficulty. His remnant souls merged into one, resulting in the current situation.
After breaking free from the seal of the forbidden land and regaining his freedom, because he had been reduced to an Artifact Spirit for a period of time, he was especially wary of this.
"Alright, there's no need to care about Bai Shang."
With these words, Yu Yuan changed the subject. Pointing at the huge platinum skull of the so-called Asura of the Dark Realm, she said, "If that eye is the portal to this arcane realm, who wants to go in and take a look?"
Everyone looked at Shen Feiqing.
The eyes under the ferocious mask were filled with anger and displeasure. He said in a hoarse voice, "If it wasn't for the scabbard, I would have been the first to step in. But now …"
The strange sword intent within the scabbard resonated with Yu Yuan, causing the spatial rifts she had sent into her flesh aura and soul awareness to become unique "swords".
These "swords" were extremely sharp, and the sword intent they exuded made her uneasy.
Under such circumstances, her original plan had been disrupted. She suddenly felt that her hands and feet were tied, and she didn't dare to make any rash moves.
"No wonder the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Abandoned Lands has become so thin and barren," Yan Qiling muttered. "The Asuras of the Dark Realm were born with only one eye. Their single eye can be used to forge Cosmos Rings of the highest grade. Every Cosmos Ring has its own independent space, which is the best place to store things.
"There's a saying that every Asura of the Dark Realm, whether dead or alive, can absorb the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth within five thousand kilometers of Haoran with only one eye.
"As long as a living Asura of the Dark Realm lurks in Haoran, they can rapidly grow stronger with the help of the vast spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"That's because the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in their dark realms seems to have dried up. It's extremely difficult for them to leave their dark realms. Every time they leave their dark realms, they will search for realms that are rich in spiritual Qi and gather it to strengthen themselves.
"The vast heaven and earth we live in, which the Heavenly Devils and outsiders call the Central Heaven and Earth, is the paradise and holy land they dream of."
"If a living Asura of the Dark Realm can reach this place without being discovered by human grand cultivators, they can grow at a terrifying speed.
"Even if they're dead, their single eye can still continue to absorb the vast spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. This is their inextinguishable instinct and their deep-rooted desire for spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Even death won't change it.
"Before the Asuras of the Dark Realm are wiped out, the major sects will spare no effort to kill any of them if they're discovered. They don't want to become too powerful, which will be troublesome.
"This one in the Haoran realm should be a dead Asura of the Dark Realm, and he must have been dead for a long time."
After a brief explanation, Yan Qiling pointed at the brown eye and said, "That's not some arcane realm portal. There's a small independent heaven and earth inside it. As for the mysteries of the inner space, we can only find out after we enter it. "
"Yu Yuan, go and unsheathe the scabbard," the white-robed grand preceptor suddenly said.
"Me?" Yu Yuan rubbed his nose.
Zhou Cangmin smiled and nodded. Then, he swept his gaze over the crowd and said, "As you can see, this scabbard has a deep connection to him. Therefore, I suggest that the scabbard become his personal possession after he unsheathe it. Does anyone have any objections? "
Everyone nodded.
Liu Ying went blank for a moment before saying with an envious expression, "Yu Yuan, that scabbard once contained a terrifying divine sword. The scabbard is still filled with pure sword intent, which is full of wonders. This scabbard is a great opportunity for you. You can't miss it. "
A look of joy appeared in Yutu's eyes as well, as if she was happy for him.
Yan Qiling laughed heartily and said, "Look at you, Yu Yuan. You're really lucky. You've obtained an excellent scabbard even before entering the arcane realm. No one knows the whereabouts of that divine sword. But if you can get the scabbard and keep it for yourself, you'll have a chance to learn about its whereabouts in the future. "
"If that sword still exists in heaven and earth, you'll definitely be able to sense it." Zhou Cangmin exclaimed softly. "If a divine sword that can cut moons falls into your hands, you'll be the envy of everyone."
Everyone kept talking about the wonders of that divine sword, trying to induce him to unsheathe it.
However, Yu Yuan still felt uneasy. "Aren't you afraid that the so-called Asura of the Dark Realm will suddenly wake up after unsheathing the scabbard before he's completely dead?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone fell silent.
"I don't think that's possible, is it?" Xu Zixi glanced at Yan Qiling, who knew the Asura of the Dark Realm the best. "So many years have passed, and the sword intent in the scabbard has been refining this platinum skull. He should be completely dead by now, right?"
Yan Qiling smiled bitterly. "I don't know."
"Even if he's not completely dead, he can't possibly recover his peak battle prowess, right? According to that man, a platinum Asura of the Dark Realm is equivalent to a Freedom Realm grand cultivator. After being killed by the scabbard for so many years, even if he wakes up, he probably won't be able to display even one percent of his strength, right? "Liu Ying said.
Yan Qiling hesitated for a while before saying, "I don't want to lie to you. What I want to tell you is that if this platinum Asura of the Dark Realm still has intelligence in his skull, he'll be able to recover his battle prowess very quickly after losing the suppression of the scabbard. The point is that his sole eye has accumulated an unimaginable amount of terrifying spiritual power over a long period of time.
"To the Asura of the Dark Realm, that sole eye is equivalent to our lower dantian's Huangting acupoint. It's the crystallization of energy.
"As long as he wakes up and can use the power of the Asura of the Dark Realm, he can use the spiritual power of heaven and earth stored in the sole eye to climb back to the peak in a short period of time.
"Maybe it's a platinum-level God of War at the peak of his combat power."
"If that's the case, it'll be very difficult for everyone here to escape."
Yan Qi Ling laid out all the possible scenarios without leaving anything out, and explained them clearly and thoroughly. Then, he didn't say anything more. He wanted everyone to decide for themselves.
Everyone fell silent once more.
If a Freedom Realm grand cultivator was invited to hold the fort, Yu Yuan would be the safest person to pull out the scabbard.
But every Freedom Realm grand cultivator was world-shaking. Most of them stayed in the various large sects for a long time, either cultivating in seclusion or soaring through the sky with their Yang Spirit.
It was impossible for the Red Devil School to summon a Freedom Realm grand cultivator in such a short period of time.
The platinum skull was right in front of them. They couldn't wait too long. Otherwise, the Spirit Void Sect would discover that something was wrong and come to the Barren Abandoned Lands through other means.
At that time, they wouldn't be as relaxed as they were now. Instead, they would have to face the heavy pressure of the seven inferior sects.
"It seems that it's a little difficult for everyone to decide."
Yu Yuan pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled brightly and said, "Isn't it just a Dark Realm Asura who might not be completely dead? I don't think there's a need to be so nervous. At worst, when we sense that something is wrong, we can immediately abandon the Barren Abandoned Lands and leave it to the grand cultivators of the Haoran world to worry about.
"Alright, I'll go pull out the scabbard now!"
