Chapter 957: Black Tower Transmission

Look, see what's at the bottom of the lake, fish it up and show me. Ye Liuyun sent a transmission voice to the Magic Vine.

The evil aura in the lake water was too intense; Ye Liuyun didn't dare to venture down lightly.

Since the Magic Vine isn't afraid of this lake water, let it do the work for us.

Soon, the Magic Vine retracted its vines, and in a short while it brought up all those black crystal stones from the lake bottom.

Finally, several thick vines even pulled the Black Tower out whole and brought it to the shore.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun sensed that foreign tribe guards were rushing over from afar.

"Those foreign tribe guards who came rushing over are yours to handle!" Ye Liuyun told the Magic Vine.

Any guard who rushed over was devoured by the Magic Vine's vines before they could even reach the lakeside.

Afterwards, the Magic Vine spat out their dry corpses.

Now the Magic Vine's vines cannot be penetrated even if an alien evil artifact wielding a venerable-rank weapon attacks; at most they can only leave a mark on the vine's surface, not even injuring it.

The surface of that black lake water was also rapidly sinking.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had already seen the vines in the lake opening wide, gulping down the lake water.

"If it keeps drinking like this, I don't know what the Magic Vine will evolve into."

Ye Liuyun actually hoped it could evolve to a level capable of opposing the Underworld God, so that when he fought the Underworld God later, he would have an extra life-saving trump card.

"Leave two for me, I want to perform a soul search to gather some information!"

Ye Liuyun suddenly remembered he still needed to locate those two venerable-rank foreign tribe members, and immediately ordered the Magic Vine to "keep them alive at its mouth"!

So, the next time the Magic Vine captured a guard, it indeed kept two alive for Ye Liuyun to perform a soul search.

"It turns out those two venerables transmitted back to the foreign tribe. And this lake water is the energy that powers the operation of this teleport tower!"

After Ye Liuyun performed the soul search, he then obtained this information from the foreign tribe's memories.

He now confirmed that this Black Tower is not the foreign tribe's possession, but something they inadvertently obtained—a treasure capable of spatial transmission.

Moreover, this Black Tower can use any kind of energy. As long as there is enough energy, it can transmit over any distance; even inside a Secret Realm, the Black Tower can teleport there.

"What a great treasure!"

Ye Liuyun shouted happily, threw those two foreign tribe members to the Magic Vine, and then began using his Divine Sense to communicate with the Black Tower.

Inside the Black Tower, there was no soul fluctuation; it was merely an ordinary treasure. Only its use for spatial transmission is somewhat special.

Seeing that the tower had no artifact spirit, Ye Liuyun directly erased the Divine Sense imprint left by the foreign tribe inside, then imprinted his own Divine Sense mark.

Afterwards, the Black Tower immediately transmitted a lot of information to Ye Liuyun, including its purpose and how to use it.

"I really picked up a treasure!"

After Ye Liuyun understood, he followed that information, shrank the Black Tower, and immediately stored it in his Storage Ring.

This Black Tower can transmit across various spaces, and it can also record many location coordinates.

As long as Ye Liuyun has been to a place and left its coordinates, the Black Tower can instantly teleport him there.

In the future, with this item, he can instantly travel back and forth between the academy and Moyu Yi Cheng.

Unfortunately, once the previous Divine Sense imprint was erased, the originally recorded coordinates also disappeared.

Ye Liuyun did not obtain the coordinates of the foreign tribe's main base. The two venerables who had been sent back also could not use the Black Tower to teleport back.

The guard who controlled the Black Tower had already been drained into a husk by the Magic Vine, so Ye Liuyun could not ask for the coordinates.

"Forget it, being able to obtain such a treasure is already a decent gain!"

Ye Liuyun consoled himself, then waited by the lake for the Magic Vine.

The Magic Vine will not stop until it has sucked dry this lake water.

Ye Liuyun waited by the lake for another half day, and only after the lake water was completely drained did the Magic Vine seed burrow out from underground.

After it emerged, Ye Liuyun was startled.

The Magic Vine seed, which had originally grown to the size of a chicken egg, had now become almost as large as a human head, several times bigger.

Moreover, the Magic Vine seed transmitted a Divine Sense fluctuation, saying it wanted to sleep, and then it fell completely still.

Ye Liuyun tried summoning it several times, but it gave no response at all.

"This guy must have absorbed enough energy and gone off to evolve."

Ye Liuyun knew that the cultivation and evolution of ferocious beasts and plants are completed in sleep; thus the Magic Vine seed's mention of sleep likely meant it was preparing to evolve.

He stored the Magic Vine seed in his Storage Ring.

"Who knows how long it will sleep!"

Now Ye Liuyun has lost another capable assistant; future battles will require greater caution.

At this moment, the space within the Secret Realm also began to become unstable.

Ye Liuyun then realized that the Secret Realm's primordial power might be that lake water. Now that the lake water has been drained, the Secret Realm is likely about to collapse.

Upon realizing this, he immediately vanished into the void and flew toward the outside of the Secret Realm.

There were no valuable resources in this Secret Realm; the foreign tribe's evil artifacts inside had also been nearly wiped out, so Ye Liuyun had no qualms—let it collapse if it collapses.

Not long after he exited the Secret Realm, it completely collapsed, and everything inside was annihilated into the void.

"Marquis, how is the situation inside?" As soon as Ye Liuyun emerged, Qin Peng went up to him and asked about the situation inside the Secret Realm.

Ye Liuyun didn't go into many details, merely telling Qin Peng that the foreign tribe's connecting passage had already been destroyed by him.

He also told Qin Peng the process by which the foreign tribe assimilated demon cultivators.

Then he also said a word to the Fourth Prince. Although he couldn't find a way to deal with the foreign tribe, perhaps someone in the imperial court could make use of it.

The Fourth Prince also had Ye Liuyun bring those crystal stones back for study.

"Then should we continue attacking other demon cultivator sects?" Qin Peng asked for instructions.

"Fight! However, the Magic Vine is temporarily dormant, so our battle plan should be as conservative as possible." Ye Liuyun told Qin Peng.

"All right! Then shall we set out immediately for the next target?" Qin Peng inquired.

"Let's go!" Ye Liuyun also didn't hesitate, immediately bringing soldiers with Qin Peng aboard the warship, rushing to the next Sect controlled by the Foreign Tribe's Demon Cultivators.

The elite troops trained by Qin Peng were indeed very strong in combat; they could almost take on ten opponents each.

The next two Sects each had tens of thousands of members, yet they defeated them with great ease.

Even the high-ranking experts of the Foreign Tribe were all surrounded and killed by a few ferocious beasts, none left, wiped out very cleanly.

They also collected all the corpses, keeping them to report military merits.

Without the Magic Vine absorbing them, Ye Liuyun also had people dig out the cores of those Demon Cultivators, leaving them for the Ice Demon Tiger and Ghost Butterfly to cultivate with.

Ye Liuyun directly left all the Sect's wealth to Qin Peng to subsidize military expenses.

Qin Peng was so happy he couldn't close his mouth.
