"A Divine Stone?" Tan Xiu asked curiously. "What's so special about that stone? Why did you call it a Divine Stone? And how did Duanmu Lin know that you obtained it so quickly?"
"Twenty years ago, our Great Tang Empire accidentally discovered a heavenly paradise that seemed to be the residence of a Perfected Golden Immortal. The Great Tang Empire found many treasures inside, the most precious of which were three elixirs that were consumed by Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen, and Long Zhengyu. Apart from the elixirs, we also found some cultivation techniques, immortal artifacts, and letters.
"After the Great Tang Empire distributed all the treasures, they felt that the letters had no research value, so they casually threw them in a corner. I felt that the things recorded by a Perfected Golden Immortal wouldn't be simple, so I asked for the letters to study. In the letters, the Perfected Golden Immortal mentioned the World Core. He also said that he broke the barrier between the Immortal World and Earth in order to find the World Core. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured after passing through the barrier, which greatly reduced his mobility.
"After I reported the matter of the World Core to Long Zhengyu, the Great Tang Empire immediately sent people to search for the World Core according to the clues left by the Perfected Golden Immortal. However, there were no results. Long Zhengyu felt that it was impossible for a group of ordinary people like us to find something that even a Perfected Golden Immortal couldn't find, so he slowly stopped searching for it. Only I persisted.
"Because of the huge change in my family, the people of the Great Tang Empire and the Special Ability Team thought that I had gone mad. However, I didn't expect that the Special Ability Team would never give up on monitoring and tracking me …"
Seeing that Tan Xiu was interested in the Divine Stone, Ji Mu's spirit was lifted and he quickly explained the origin of the Divine Stone in detail.
After listening to Ji Mu's narration, Tan Xiu could almost confirm that the Divine Stone that Ji Mu mentioned was the World Core, the number one divine object in the Immortal World.
The World Core was the core of the Immortal World, located in the most mysterious Illusory Realm of Nothingness. Several eras ago, a supreme expert returned from the God World and borrowed the energy of the World Core to expand the Immortal World by several million times. After that, the World Core disappeared. Tang Xiu never expected that the next time he heard of the World Core, it would actually be on Earth.
However, after recalling that Earth was once the Ancestral Planet of the God Realm, Tan Xiu felt relieved.
"The Heart of the World isn't something that ordinary people can refine. Ordinary people can only use the Heart of the World to increase their cultivation speed. In order to refine the Heart of the World, one must become a True God and possess divine power." Glancing at the indignant Ji Mu, Tan Xiu patiently explained, "You should be glad that Duanmu Lin isn't able to refine the World Core. Otherwise, I reckon that you would've been killed by him since you no longer have any value to him."
"Ah, only a God Realm can refine the World Core. Then, what is the true use of the World Core?" While Ji Mu's face was filled with shock, he also felt a lingering fear in his heart.
"The World Core is the core of the Immortal World. If you control the World Core, you can become the master of the Immortal World and control the life and death of the Immortal World," Tan Xiu said, word by word.
"Ah …" After learning about the origin of the World Core, Ji Mu couldn't help but exclaim. Although he already knew that the World Core was unusual, he never thought that it would have such a great origin.
"Ji Mu, you should be familiar with your newly acquired power now. Next, you can go on a killing spree. I only have one request — don't hurt the innocent. Also, tell me the birthdays of your wife and daughter, "Tan Xiu said in a clear voice after pondering for a moment.
"Thank you for your help, Master. I'll only kill those who deserve to be killed and will never hurt the innocent." After hearing that Tan Xiu allowed him to take revenge, Ji Mu's eyes instantly lit up. He told Tan Xiu the birthdays of his wife and daughter and then left in a hurry.
Tan Xiu silently read Ren Ranran and Ji Rou's birthdays. In the next moment, his figure had already arrived at the Longquan Mountain in the west and quietly entered the pocket world.
Outside the pocket world, hundreds of Tang Sect's disciples were patrolling in an orderly manner, completely unaware of Tan Xiu's arrival.
After entering the pocket world, Tan Xiu couldn't help but furrow his brows because he faintly smelled the smell of blood. Fierce fighting sounds also came from the depths of the pocket world.
"Is Long Zhengyu and the others hunting the demonic beasts in the pocket world to temper their strength, or did something happen to them?" Tan Xiu performed a teleportation and quickly dashed toward the direction of the fighting sounds.
In the depths of the pocket world, Long Zhengyu was bathed in blood and looked battered and exhausted. His face was full of grief and indignation, and his heart was filled with endless regret.
Facing the siege of five Perfected Great Ascension Stage demonic beasts, Long Zhengyu was stretched thin and overwhelmed. But when he saw the Tang Sect's disciples dying tragically in the mouths of the demonic beasts, he had no choice but to overdraw his life potential again and again to kill the five demonic beasts that weren't at the Great Ascension Stage.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your selfless and selfless spirit is really touching, Long Zhengyu. But you can't even protect yourself now, so do you think you can save the lives of these Tang Sect's disciples?" A few hundred meters away from the battlefield, Duanmu Lin leisurely drove away the demonic beasts that approached him and ridiculed loudly.
"SCRAM!" Long Zhengyu cursed in response to Duanmu Lin.
"Instead of dying here, Long Zhengyu, you might as well give me all the medicinal pills, array manuals, alchemy manuals, and refining manuals that Tan Xiu gave you before he left. At the same time, hand over the shares of the Magnificent Tang Corp., the Longquan Mountain pocket world, and the control of Nine Dragons Island to me. That way, I can spare the lives of your Tang Sect's disciples.
"Else, I'll kill all your Tang Sect's disciples one by one after I kill you, and those things will still belong to me in the end."
Duanmu Lin didn't get angry after being spat on by Long Zhengyu, but calmly persuaded him.
"I'm really blind, Duanmu Lin. I can't believe I brought you into this pocket world. Kill me and all the Tang Sect's disciples if you have the ability. I'd like to see how you can control this pocket world. "After Long Zhengyu sent a demonic beast flying, he looked at Duanmu Lin with eyes full of disgust.
Duanmu Lin couldn't help but frown after seeing Long Zhengyu's stubbornness.
Duanmu Lin had always longed for formidable power, and he began to plan to take control of this pocket world after he learned that the Longquan Mountain pocket world had inexhaustible cultivation resources.
However, Tan Xiu's strength was far beyond his imagination, and he was also on guard against him, which made Duanmu Lin feel powerless and powerless.
After Tan Xiu ascended, Duanmu Lin began to think about the pocket world again. Being cautious by nature, he didn't directly attack the Tang Sect's disciples but paid a huge price to invite other cultivator forces to deal with them together.
Seeing that the Tang Sect's disciples, led by Long Zhengyu, were retreating in defeat and the pocket world was about to fall into his hands, Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen descended from the sky and swept away those cultivator forces in an invincible manner. Later on, these two people simply stayed in the Tang Sect and didn't leave. This made Duanmu Lin feel a lingering fear, and he no longer dared to seize the pocket world by force.
After thinking about it for a while, Duanmu Lin simply announced his withdrawal from the Special Ability Group and solved many troubles for the Magnificent Tang Corporation and the Tang Sect, slowly winning the favor of the company and Tang Sect's disciples.
Although Tan Xiu had told Long Zhengyu to beware of Duanmu Lin before he left, Long Zhengyu gradually accepted Duanmu Lin under Duanmu Lin's painstaking efforts for more than a decade. Even Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen didn't have any objection against Duanmu Lin.
Just like that, Duanmu Lin stepped into the core management of the Tang Sect step by step and enjoyed more and more cultivation resources. Unfortunately, Duanmu Lin had no way to intervene in the distribution of the core resources and the management authority of the pocket world, which made him very dissatisfied.
However, with Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen in the pocket world, Duanmu Lin didn't dare to make any unusual moves. Not only did these two people have the strength to sweep the entire Earth, but they also had a pair of fiery and golden eyes. Even if Duanmu Lin didn't show any disloyalty, Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen still suspected him.
It wasn't until Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen ascended that Duanmu Lin began to carry out his plan again. He bribed the Tang Sect's people and then made Long Zhengyu a mere figurehead. Half a month ago, he successfully added the latest biological potion developed in the secret base in the Taklamakan Desert into Long Zhengyu's food.
This biological potion was colorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. Its only function was to attract the hatred of demonic beasts. The stronger the demonic beast, the greater the hatred it would attract. Hence, Long Zhengyu's tragedy was doomed the moment he took the Tang Sect's disciples into the depths of the pocket world to gain experience.
"Long Zhengyu, it's better to live than to die. Even if you're really unafraid of death, you still have to think about your family. As long as you're willing to hand over the management of the pocket world to me, I guarantee that the Long Family will flourish as long as I, Duanmu Lin, am still alive. How about it? " Seeing that Long Zhengyu was getting more and more exhausted, Duanmu Lin finally tried his best to say, "If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for killing you and the Tang Sect's disciples and exterminating your Long Family for treason!"
"You're shameless!" Upon hearing Duanmu Lin's words, the exhausted Long Zhengyu instantly fell to the ground, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he glared at Duanmu Lin and berated in a stern voice, "Duanmu Lin, you're so despicable and ungrateful. You'll die a graveless death in the future."
"Really? But I'm not the one who's going to die now. It's you! " Duanmu Lin looked at Long Zhengyu's desperate look and a ferocious expression flashed on his face. "I'll give you 10 breaths to think about it. If you're still stubborn, don't blame this old man for being ruthless!"
"He doesn't need to think about it. You, on the other hand, have to think about how to save your dog life!" Right when Duanmu Lin was glaring at Long Zhengyu with a gloomy expression and a ferocious glint in his eyes, a voice that sounded like muffled thunder suddenly resounded in his ears. It shook his eardrums to the point of intense pain, and his seven souls and six spirits were almost scattered.
On the contrary, this voice was like the sound of nature to Long Zhengyu. He looked behind Duanmu Lin with a pleasantly surprised face and then fainted.
