Chapter 1478: Chapter 1060: Big Brother, You Got Disconnected_2

Xuanyuan Yangguang began by explaining the results of his multiple explorations, then paused and said uncertainly: "The spatial currents in the Ruins Realm crisscross, and my puppet, which I control, is unable to perform any space techniques, causing me to linger only at the edges every time.

It seems there’s no alternative but to gather numerous demon cultivators to purify the crowded fragments. But as a Demon Lord, I lack the foundation to have that kind of influence, and I can’t easily leak the situation of the Ruins Realm.

Before I could think of a shortcut solution, I heard that the Great Lord of the Demon Realm had secretly set up a Regent Throne to oppose Demon Lord Yun Li. While hastily returning to the Demon Realm to manage the situation, I accidentally got caught in the spatial currents and couldn’t escape, so I could only order protection for Jiu Mu.

I originally wanted to clear out the rebels later, but unexpectedly, the connection with the puppet suddenly cut off, and from then on, I have received no information nor have I regained contact."

Jiang Yuan:...

Looks like you messed up big time!

The puppet disconnected, could it have fallen into the spatial currents and shattered?

Wonder what expression Jiu Mu would have knowing that the Yun Li she cares about is merely a puppet.

"I’ve also visited the Ruins Realm. To be honest with the elder, the demon cultivators that you and Lan Shanying planned to have infiltrate, some were killed by the Regent Throne, dealt with by the Demon Realm Alliance, and the rest were left with nowhere to go. I have recruited them to the Ruins Realm to refine the leftover demonic energy on the world fragments."

Jiang Yuan admitted generously, "Currently, the number of demon cultivators is not large, but the results are gratifying. Over a hundred world fragments have been cleared. Though it’s still a drop in the ocean for the vast Ruins Realm, at least the blocking has started to be cleared. When more demon cultivators can be used in the future, the speed will be faster."

He took out paper and pen from the Storage Bag and sketched a simple map according to the known map of the Ruins Realm provided by the system, "This is the area I’ve currently explored, centered around the ancient teleportation array that Miss Jiu Mu reached by tearing through space.

Do you recall approximately where the communication with the puppet was lost?"

Indeed, Yun Li cannot tear space, so he can only start from the location Miss Jiu Mu reached.

Xuanyuan Yangguang carefully asked and recalled the details, then drew a circle on the paper, "Approximately here. At that time, I was thinking of going deeper to see if I could manage to merge those fragments together and then place them in a small space to bring away from the Ruins Realm.

At the very last moment when disconnecting from Yun Li, I remember clearly seeing a huge fragment slowly floating overhead..."

He drew the shape of the unusually shaped fragment beside it, "I can only provide these clues, till now I haven’t figured out why the originally stable soul connection was suddenly cut off. It feels like my soul in the puppet was forcibly expelled and returned to my body, and I can no longer sense the puppet."

Lu Ya, beside him, said excitedly: "Daoist You, since you can explore the Ruins Realm, please put some effort into finding it. I really like that puppet! If you can find it, I’ll tell you the command formula, then you can control Demon Lord Yun Li to return to the Demon Realm and turn everything upside down! Let’s kill those Regent Thrones altogether!"

"Command formula?" Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered the Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda and the damaged Book of Life and Death were activated by command formulas, and with slight hesitance said: "Then... the assassination squad sent by Elder Xuanyuan, the Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda, and Ten Thousand Worlds Mirror that Jiu Mu’s group carried..."

"They’re all our stock with Xuanyuan!" Lu Ya responded enthusiastically, glanced at Xuanyuan Yangguang to secure consent, "Although a large part was you grabbing them in fights, they’re also part of our stock, right? Daoist You, how many did you grab?"

He took out the Pagoda and Ten Thousand Worlds Mirror from the Storage Bag and replied truthfully: "At that time, I didn’t know the Demon Realm invasion plan was fake, the Regent Throne snatched the divine artifacts managed by Jiu Mu in a power grab.

Handing over actions to Station No.7’s demon cultivators, using divine artifacts to lock in and kill one of my spirit pets, thus forming a grudge. Later, after ending the operations of the station, the Book of Life and Death was taken by Netherworld Fengdu; these two artifacts fell into my hands."

After listening to the entire process told by Jiang Yuan, Xuanyuan Yangguang shook his head with a smile, "I let Jiu Mu manage the three divine artifacts with the aim to fill in gaps and assassinate Great Demon Cultivators in the Wilderness, to stir them up and then release demonic energy as intimidation and threat.

The Regent Throne’s missteps actually allowed Daoist You to gain tangible benefits. These two treasures, when in my possession, had the puppet which did not know the method of nurturing, nor how to repair the divine artifacts, could only let them gradually decline.

Now in Daoist You’s hands, seeing the nurturing and repair improving greatly, it is also your destiny with the divine artifacts. I can only hope Daoist You can smoothly find the puppet and use your hand to properly rectify the Demon Realm!"

Material things should fall into the hands of those who need them, and it should be in accordance with the Heavenly Dao.

"Except for requiring a command formula for control, every move of the puppet consumes Immortal Jade, Daoist You ought to prepare ahead." Lu Ya said with a beaming smile, "The command formula for using the puppet is simple: I am your uncle! The key lies in the tone—surely it needs to be unwavering and spirited, otherwise it won’t react."

Jiang Yuan:...

Elder, your style has gone crooked!

Recalling the puppet charger, he urgently asked: "By the way! Elder Lu Ya who has traveled many worlds, do you know, in the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect on Mingqi Star, if there is a Secret Treasure that can free puppets from the shackles of Spirit Stones and Immortal Jade? It’s said that obtaining it allows the puppet to breathe and cultivate like a cultivator getting Spirit Roots."

This time, it was Lu Ya and Xuanyuan Yangguang who were shocked.

Is there really such a treasure in the world?!

Seeing they were unaware, Jiang Yuan humbly asked again: "Have the two elders, while using the puppet body to travel the Demon Realm and visit various places, heard of Fuyun Space or Crystal Palace?"

These are names shown by the system under pending home openings.

The first home is Shuiyun Lake in the Human World, where Lu Ya once lived; the second home is Conch Island in the Wilderness World, briefly opened by Mr. Li.

He’s considering whether the upcoming Fuyun Space and Crystal Palace might be in the Demon Realm or Netherworld, or some other Little World. Searching the Ten Thousand Worlds Mirror didn’t provide answers, perhaps blocked by the system, maybe these two widely experienced people have heard of it.

Anyway, asking a few more questions doesn’t cost them anything.

"These two names aren’t special, undoubtedly there are many places with the same name." Cautiously replied Lu Ya upon hearing, "But in an old district of the Demon Realm, in a very secluded Little World, I’ve heard of the name Crystal Palace.

I thought it might be treasure or an excellent place, so checked using the puppet body, it doesn’t deserve such a grand name, just a piece of..."

She thought for a moment and gestured: "a very big piece of ruins, but shrouded by an invisible barrier. I couldn’t break through to enter, just hovered in the air to have a look, nothing special there.

The Demon Realm continuously expands, it’s an ancient old district, with insufficient demonic energy and little demon cultivator residency. Probably some ordinary demon races without the strength to leave live there, due to scant demonic energy and barren soil, agriculture and animal husbandry are poor, and their livelihood is meager."

Expertly, Jiang Yuan handed over the map provided by demon cultivators.

The other party looked at it for a while, then drew a circle, "It’s been too long and I can’t remember clearly, but if you search in this area, you might be able to find out. Also, there are other tales of Crystal Palace, saying it’s in the Mortal Realm, in a water-filled, sea-demon place. The Demon King, who rules part of the ocean, resides in the Crystal Palace there. That’s all I know."

Thanking the elder for the guidance, hearing about the unbreakable invisible barrier, confirms his suspicions!

"Like Daoist You is searching not for mere mortal lands, thereby filtering, the Netherworld may have a location that fits." Xuanyuan Yangguang contemplated: "The sealed Old Underworld, located on a floating mountain’s peak in the Land Between Clouds, named Fuyun Space.

I once stealthily entered the seal to fetch Netherworld Water, hence I know.

But that place being sealed has its reasons, there’s an indescribable oddness. Wandering within are neither ghosts nor monsters, unsure what they are, extremely tough to deal with! Fortunately, I’ve lived long, heard many tales, saying the Old Underworld was once attacked by Outer Heaven Demon, then began behaving strangely before finally being forsaken sealed, Fengdu was built."

He looked at Jiang Yuan whose eyes sparkled, adding: "If you want to check it out, I can tell you how to sneak through the seal. To be honest, it seems the disaster on Old Underworld happened rapidly, evacuation was hasty, leaving loopholes in the seal.

Though Fengdu has been patching it up extensively, getting in isn’t too hard. If Daoist You has connections in Fengdu, can obtain the Yin Messenger hat, it’ll be even easier!"
