Chapter 284: South Dipper Heavenly Secret, Late Golden Core Stage!

After the Cultivators of Beidi learned the shocking news that an Avatar of the Evil Spirit was still hiding in the shadows of Beidi.

The thoughts they originally held of hiding in their comfort zones faded significantly.

After Su Ping announced the end of the meeting.

The three great Nascent Soul Old Ancestors of Beidi immediately welcomed wave after wave of guests.

The news of the Alliance Leader proposing that the Beidi sects relocate to the Nanhuang Qundao also spread through the circles of Beidi Cultivators via the words of the Nascent Soul Old Ancestors.

Some details of this were also confirmed.

For instance, after going to the Nanhuang Qundao, the sects would not be disbanded, and there would be bases provided, among other things.

However, even so, many sects were still quite hesitant.

They said it wouldn't be disbanded, but without the sect's foundation, what could they rely on to maintain the sect's cohesion once they went to the Nanhuang Qundao?

Those disciples, and even Deacons and Elders, who were selected to enter the Secret Realm.

Once they truly stood firm, whether they would still recognize the leadership of their own Sect Master's lineage was a matter of uncertainty.

Furthermore... for many elderly Cultivators.

It was indeed difficult to leave their ancestral land!

Amidst the hesitation and uncertainty.

The four Demon Emperors who had been dismissed by Su Ping copied the cultivation techniques and Secret Techniques of each sect from the various sects in Beidi.

Su Ping, this Zhumo Alliance leader, announced to the outside world the time for leaving Beidi.

This increased the urgency for the various sects in Beidi, causing some sects to make up their minds in advance and begin preparations for relocation.

After the time arrived on Su Ping's side, he truly boarded the Immortal Boat and departed.

Gazing at the Immortal Boat Fleet that had truly left without any lingering attachment.

The Beidi Cultivators who had come to see them off all had complex expressions.

The Spirit Qi environment of Beidi was far, far better than the sea area of the Nanhuang Qundao.

Yet that Alliance Leader had exerted such great effort to help them resolve such a massive crisis.

But he didn't care at all about the foundations of these people and left so easily.

While it caused some old Cultivators to quietly breathe a sigh of relief, they also became nervous, and they tended to believe the previously circulated news that a great crisis was still hidden in Beidi.

Consequently, even the most stubborn and conservative Beidi sects.

Had their True Disciples lead teams to set off overnight for the Nanhuang Qundao to establish branch offices in case of emergency.

As for the radical ones, most of whom were small and humble, they directly responded to the Alliance Leader's call and boarded the Immortal Boat for their new home with their entire sects and families!

The three great powers of Beidi.

The main lineage of Kumu Temple was reduced to ashes.

Fortunately, the branch temples still existed; after Abbot Xuanmu gathered the disciples of these temples, he chose to accept the Alliance Leader's invitation.

He took his disciples directly to the Blood God Secret Realm and rebuilt a scaled-down version of Kumu Temple on a floating mountain peak.

Abbot Xuanmu himself was a Third Tier Talisman master and a Second Tier Array Master.

In the Secret Realm, there was no need to worry about lacking channels to earn contributions to support Kumu Temple.

And with Abbot Xuanmu taking the lead to join.

The Xuejian Sect and Changsheng Temple also sent their technique-transmitting Elders and True Disciples to follow them into the Blood God Secret Realm.

As for the main lineages... as large sects, they truly could not bring themselves to be so resolute in abandoning their sect foundations.

At the same time, they also harbored a stroke of luck in their hearts, hoping that the disaster would not descend upon them so quickly.

Su Ping did not force them regarding this.

As long as they cooperated with him to obtain the intelligence and knowledge he needed, that was enough.

After all!

Everyone has their own fate, and respecting the choices of others is a virtuous quality for a Cultivator.

From the inheritance materials of Changsheng Temple, Su Ping saw the records left by their Old Ancestor regarding the South Dipper lineage.

The founding Old Ancestor of Changsheng Temple once had a close friend who was an Old Ancestor that practiced the South Dipper Divine Art.

The creation of the Changsheng Qiankun Art also received guidance and suggestions from that Old Ancestor.

And because of this, some of the techniques had traces of the South Dipper lineage.

This Changsheng Old Ancestor eventually left a clue for the South Dipper lineage.

Like the Big Dipper lineage, the South Dipper lineage was difficult to find qualified successors for.

Without the relevant Spirit Body, practicing it forcefully might result in practicing oneself to death before even succeeding in Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, the Changsheng Old Ancestor left a stone stele for his descendants.

If one day a disciple could make the Immortal script on the stele glow.

Then they could obtain the inheritance clue of the South Dipper lineage through this stele.

Could this be considered his way, as an Old Ancestor, of helping an old friend fulfill the wish of passing on their Dharma lineage?

It was just that, judging from the records of Changsheng Temple.

In the more than one thousand years since it was recorded, Changsheng Temple had not recruited a disciple who could make the stele glow.

In the last hundred years, as the pollution of Evil Qi intensified, Evil Spirits ravaged Beidi.

Disciples with talent became fewer and fewer, and even disciples suitable for the profound techniques of Changsheng Temple became increasingly scarce.

That South Dipper stele was also kept in the treasury, unseen for decades.

When Chang Sheng Guan Zhu learned that the Alliance Leader wanted to see the South Dipper inheritance stele.

Naturally, he did not dare to refuse, and even after recalling the rumor that there were Cultivators under the Alliance Leader who knew the Big Dipper series of divine arts.

The inspired Chang Sheng Guan Zhu, although he did not choose to follow Su Ping back to the Nanhuang Qundao himself.

Instead, he took the initiative to take out the South Dipper Stele and handed it to Su Ping.

He gave the excuse that Beidi was too small and sparsely populated, fearing that he would never be able to find an owner for the South Dipper Stele in his lifetime.

It would be better to gift it to the Alliance Leader for safekeeping, perhaps it could find a successor for the South Dipper lineage.

Regarding such a sensible Chang Sheng Guan Zhu.

While accepting his good intentions, Su Ping also gave him a Transmission Jade Slip and left behind a Golden Core Spirit Beast to serve as a teleportation point.

…………

Pot Heaven.

After Su Ping led the team back to the Nanhuang Qundao.

Only then did he return to Pot Heaven.

He first went to the Zhenwu Fumo Dijun Shenmiao to look at the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor Statue enshrined in the Main Hall.

At the feet of the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor Statue, the jade bottle sealing the black bead sat quietly there.

The Avatar of the Xieshen Diqizi inside the black bead was currently on its last breath, resisting the True Martial Divine Power attacking from all directions.

Every time the Main Hall held a ritual.

As the Daoists chanted the True Martial Subduing Demon scriptures under the guidance of Qumo Zhenren Yunkong.

That Avatar of the Xieshen Diqizi would be in agony, feeling its Divine Soul being constantly worn away!

It even began to regret, regretting why it had been so impatient, splitting off a wisp of its main body's Divine Soul to enter the Avatar, and using a Secret Technique to forge such a hard shell for itself.

Dong!

When Su Ping arrived, Qumo Zhenren struck the True Martial Bell, beginning the morning lesson.

It seemed that because of Su Ping's appearance.

Golden Light suddenly emerged in the Zhenwu Fumo Dijun Shenmiao.

Just like the Fox God manifesting its holiness at the Fox God Palace before, a phantom of the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor appeared above Zhenwu Shan.

It was also at this instant.

The black bead in the jade bottle cracked with a 'Crack!' sound, revealing dense, tiny fissures.

A high-level Secret Technique clearly collapsed on its own after a higher-level existence appeared!

The Avatar of the Xieshen Diqizi, which had long been exhausted while hiding in the black bead, revealed a trace of relief.

Immediately after, upon sensing the true status of the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor phantom.

Its entire soul body trembled and began to collapse rapidly.

In its mind, only one thought remained:

Such an existence!

How could an ant like it encounter one!

This is simply too absurd!

Pfft!

The black bead in the jade bottle completely turned into a wisp of black smoke.

And before it could even drift out of the jade bottle.

It was completely absorbed and digested.

Su Ping took out the smaller True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor Statue, which still had a bit of Divine Power that could be used again.

Through it as a medium, he was able to see a large number of memory fragments after the Avatar of the Xieshen Diqizi decomposed.

Su Ping had originally thought he would only be able to obtain a small amount of useful information.

After all, it was just a newly born Avatar, and its memory would only be limited to the Cultivation World.

Being able to expose some contaminated Secret Realms might have been an unexpected joy.

Yet Su Ping had not expected.

This time, the Avatar of the Xieshen Diqizi he encountered actually contained a wisp of the Seventh Son's main body Divine Soul!

"Tsk tsk tsk, this really is an unexpected joy this time!"

"Although not too much, these secret pieces of information involving things outside the Cultivation World..."

"Still have great reference value for what I should do in the future!"

Through the memory fragments of the Xieshen Diqizi.

Su Ping learned that their Cultivation World was not actually a separate Small World at the beginning.

But a part of a Small Thousand World.

In the Shikong Haiyang, individual Small Worlds are like single-celled organisms in the ocean, too fragile.

Small Worlds will instinctively seek out their own kind and then gather together to form a Small Thousand World.

Thereby relying on collective strength to reinforce the intensity of the Space Barrier.

Just like how multicellular organisms were formed in the natural world for the sake of survival.

The Upper Realm in the eyes of the Cultivation World... was simply one of the Small Worlds within that Small Thousand World that was faring better.

This also explains why, according to the records of this Cultivation World, Return to Void cultivators above the Transformation of Divinity stage could ascend to the Immortal World.

They already belonged to the same Small Thousand World, so the world barrier naturally was not that exaggerated.

Su Ping also saw the appearance of a Small Thousand World for the first time.

That was a Small Thousand World which, in the eyes of the children of the Xieshen, was shaped like a long string of grapes.

The grapes were very long, with at least nearly a thousand Small Worlds densely pieced together.

The Space Barrier they formed together made every child of the Xieshen instinctively feel troubled.

It is just a pity that this time, this Small Thousand World was unlucky enough to encounter the Supreme Mother God.

In fact, the Supreme Mother God did not target this string of Small Thousand Worlds.

She merely woke up for a brief moment in the gaps of her slumber.

Then, after letting out a burp, she instinctively opened her mouth and took a breath, just like breathing.

Immediately, she fell back into a deep slumber.

It's just that... that one breath.

Including the string of Small Thousand Worlds where the Cultivation World is located... they were all swallowed into the Mother God's body!

They became a feast for the children of the Evil Gods, who serve as the probiotics for the Mother's body.

Because the Cultivation World is the weakest part of the Small Thousand World.

As the erosion of Evil Qi intensified, it became the first part to be abandoned by the Small Thousand World.

Combining this with the inherited memories of other sects.

Su Ping suddenly had a certain intuition, guessing that it was very likely that the Cultivation World becoming a single Small World was an artificial result!

Those True Dragon Clan members who ran away early, as well as the powerhouses of the ancient Immortal Sects.

It is highly probable that after they left, in order to prevent the Cultivation World from spreading contamination to other Small Worlds after it was polluted.

They cut the Cultivation World off like a surgical amputation, making it a lonely, isolated Small World.

"In other words, in this Dark Void filled with Evil Qi, children of Evil Gods, and all sorts of Evil Spirits... there are other worlds facing the same predicament?"

"Counting from the disappearance of the True Dragon Clan, it has been at least two thousand years since it was cut off into a Small World."

"In two thousand years, the earth veins of this Cultivation World have been completely polluted, and it has even been bitten into, leaving a large gap!"

"The Small Thousand World should be a bit better, but it should also be in a period where it is being invaded by the Evil Qi Tide and large-scale Evil Spirits are appearing."

"Even, some Small Worlds similar to the Cultivation World, once there is a problem with the Space Barrier, will likely be cut off as well!"

"And this speed will only get faster... after all, the more Small Worlds the Small Thousand World cuts off, its own spatial strength will decrease accordingly."

"This information... I wonder if the Great Golden Light Temple or the Chiyuan Immortal Sect knows about it?"

Su Ping whispered.

Then he stopped focusing on this information that would be enough to scare the wits out of outside Cultivators.

He turned back to the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion.

He took out the South Dipper stone tablet obtained from the Changsheng Temple.

Looking at the black stone tablet in front of him, which was one meter square and had not a single character on it.

Su Ping took a deep breath and circulated the North Star Divine Art throughout his body.

Then... he chose to use the Memory Illusion of Fire Knight Alwin to step forward, and through possession, allowed him to possess the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense.

As the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense surged into the stone tablet.

Plus the fact that the Fire Knight, as a rare partner, definitely had a top-tier constitution.

The South Dipper stone tablet emitted a faint white light.

Then, one Immortal character after another emerged from the stone tablet.

The stone tablet only contained the Qi Refining chapter of the South Dipper Heavenly Mystery Scripture.

Although it was only Qi Refining, it involved many Secret Techniques related to strengthening the body and curing illnesses.

After mastering the entire chapter, one could convert the South Dipper Scripture Dharma Power into healing abilities, and it also had the power to drive away Evil Spirits and cure diseases.

Combining it with the North Dipper Qi Refining chapter.

Su Ping keenly realized that for those North Dipper Cultivators who could only barely qualify.

Having South Dipper Cultivators help heal their hidden injuries might be the correct way for North Dipper Cultivators to operate.

And South Dipper Cultivators also needed Cultivators who had successfully practiced the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Divine Sense to help them temper their Divine Sense.

It could be called mutually beneficial, thereby lowering the cultivation difficulty for their respective low-level Cultivators.

Considering that in the ancient times, the North and South Dippers split and acted independently... there was one more reason for their decline.

First, he let the Fire Knight Memory Illusion run the cultivation method of the South Dipper stone tablet's Immortal characters.

After confirming that it wouldn't explode on the spot.

Su Ping set his mind at ease and began his cultivation.

He couldn't be blamed for being cautious about this.

This South Dipper stone tablet was previously kept in the treasury of the Changsheng Temple in Beidi.

Theoretically, it was possible for an Avatar of an Evil God to have snuck in there and buried some contingencies.

Facing the methods of the Evil God's Avatar, the more Su Ping understood, the more he valued them.

As soon as Su Ping started practicing, the North Star Divine Art in his body began to circulate spontaneously.

Between breaths, the various bottlenecks of the South Dipper Heavenly Mystery Scripture were broken through as if he were cheating.

Not even the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn had passed.

The content of the South Dipper Qi Refining chapter was completely mastered by Su Ping.

In the blink of an eye, a surge of vitality was added to his Army-Breaking Dharma Power.

Creation and destruction, life and death...

Under these various insights.

Su Ping's body trembled slightly.

Realizing something, he hurriedly opened his mouth slightly and inhaled.

Immediately, one Pill after another appeared and was swallowed into his mouth.

Then, outside the room, the Spirit Qi surrounding the Pot Heaven surged over violently.

Feeling that he was still a sliver short, Su Ping took out the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor Statue.

The Divine Statue of the Emperor once again manifested its holiness.

With a single soft shout.

The Salvation Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image with a thousand hands and a thousand arms appeared upon Su Ping's body.

And then!

As the imperial crown atop the Salvation Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image became increasingly clear.

Su Ping's entire aura changed abruptly.

He had already stepped into the realm of the Golden Core Late Stage!

Only waiting for his Dharma Power to reach perfection, he would be able to shatter the core and form the Nascent Soul, becoming a true Nascent Soul Old Ancestor!
