First Arrival in the Great Thousand World

Whoosh!

In a forest somewhere in the Great Thousand World, a pillar of light descended from the sky, and Lin Suchou's figure emerged.

"Where the hell have I been sent to this time?"

Surveying the unfamiliar surroundings, Lin Suchou could not help saying it again.

But when he felt the abundant, majestic spiritual energy filling his Qi Sea, Lin Suchou could not help grinning.

Early Fusion Heaven Realm!

That was his current cultivation realm.

Today, relying on the physical strength of his Level 5 Spirit Body, he had forcibly broken through the bottleneck of the Spirit Soul Realm and entered the Fusion Heaven Realm.

Though he had endured agony worse than death, it seemed the suffering had not been in vain.

Especially Tian Sheng's expression after watching him break through to the Fusion Heaven Realm—the look in his eyes that seemed to want to tear Lin Suchou into ten thousand pieces—was still etched deeply into Lin Suchou's memory.

The path of cultivation was long and arduous. Starting from the Sensing Realm, one rose through the Spirit Movement Realm and Spirit Wheel Realm. Upon reaching the Spirit Soul Realm, one could form a contract with a Spirit Beast.

After that came the three realms of Fusion Heaven, Transformation Heaven, and Heaven Passage. Once one passed the Minor Tribulation of the body, spiritual energy, and Spirit Soul, one would enter the First through Ninth-Grade Supreme Realm.

Beyond the Supreme Realm were the lower, upper, and Great Perfection Earth Supreme realms, followed by Spirit Grade, Immortal Grade, and Saint Grade Heavenly Supremes!

One step further, and one could comprehend the will of heaven and earth to become a Great Ruler!

One drop of Phoenix Clan Essence Blood from the Heaven Ranking.

Primordial-grade cultivation Spirit Art, Dragon Phoenix Town Spirit Bell!"

Following his instructions, the system had issued the rewards after he left the Spirit Road. At that moment, Lin Suchou felt no less thrilled than hearing a notification that five million had been deposited into his account.

But the rewards were not the most important thing right now. He first had to figure out where he was.

He had only asked Dean Taicang to teleport him to the Northern Spiritual Realm, where Mu Chen was located. Who knew which remote corner of the Northern Spiritual Realm this was?

Spiritual energy burst from his body as Lin Suchou flew into the sky.

Feeling the clear wind whistling past him, he was utterly refreshed!

If someone asked Lin Suchou to return to the Spirit Road now, he would refuse a million times over.

Whoosh!

As spiritual energy surged forth, Lin Suchou's speed greatly increased. Before long, he saw the outline of a city.

Landing on the ground once more, Lin Suchou headed toward the city.

A group of lethargic guards stood at the city gate, while the walls were only a few zhang high, nowhere near the scale of the Guardian Land within the Spirit Road.

Moreover, the gate bore only the two words "South City," so Lin Suchou still had no idea where he was.

Following the crowd into the city, Lin Suchou soon found an auction house.

Under the auctioneer's astonished gaze, he sold off all the trash Spirit Arts and Spirit Artifacts he had collected from the Spirit Road, along with the unwanted Spirit Storage Rings, earning over two million Spirit Coins.

It was not as much as he had imagined, but it was indeed their proper value.

Spirit Arts were divided into Mortal-tier, Spirit-tier, God-tier, and Primordial-tier, with each tier further divided into low, middle, and high grades.

Spirit Artifacts, meanwhile, were divided into low, middle, high, and peerless tiers. Above Peerless-tier Spirit Artifacts were Divine Artifacts, with Quasi-Divine Artifacts in between.

Divine Artifacts above Spirit Artifacts were likewise divided into God-tier low, middle, high, and peerless grades, followed by Sacred Objects and Peerless Sacred Objects.

A low-grade Spirit Artifact was worth several hundred thousand Spirit Coins, while a Mortal-tier Spirit Art could be bought for as little as several tens of thousands of Spirit Coins.

Thus, the items Lin Suchou had obtained in the Spirit Road were worth only that much.

After making a small fortune, he found an inn and sat down. Once he learned that he was in South City of the Mu Domain in the Northern Spiritual Realm, Lin Suchou finally relaxed.

It seemed the Trial Realm's reputation was no exaggeration. It really was quite impressive.

After buying a map of the Northern Spiritual Realm from a street vendor, Lin Suchou returned to the inn, rented a private room, and began studying the things he had obtained one by one.

Among these rewards, the Spirit Gathering Treasure Bottle, Dragon Phoenix Town Spirit Bell, and Spirit Beast Equal Contract caught his attention the most.

The Spirit Gathering Treasure Bottle could produce ten drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid every day, while Dragon Phoenix Town Spirit Bell, as a Primordial-grade cultivation art, was naturally no weaker than the Great Pagoda Art of the Futuo Ancient Clan.

And that Spirit Beast Equal Contract was the most heaven-defying of all!

It could force him to bind with any Spirit Beast on the Earth Ranking. After the binding, the death of either party would not affect the other, and they could even share each other's power.

Most crucially, though it was called an equal contract scroll, it was in fact extremely advantageous to Lin Suchou...

Unfortunately, it could not forcibly bind Heaven Ranking Spirit Beasts. Otherwise, Lin Suchou would have suffered far fewer hardships.

Lin Suchou stayed at the inn for a week. During the first five days, he learned all the Spirit-tier Spirit Arts and cultivated Dragon Phoenix Town Spirit Bell to the first level—Spirit Gathering.

During the following two days, he cultivated spirit arrays and became a Level 3 Spirit Array Master comparable to the Fusion Heaven Realm.

Unfortunately, he did not have a suitable spirit array. Fortunately, Lin Suchou knew where in the Northern Spiritual Realm he could find a powerful array diagram.

This was the innate advantage of a transmigrator!

"Sir, are you no longer staying at our inn? Was our service not satisfactory?"

At the inn's counter, a short, plump middle-aged man looked cautiously at the Blue Robe Youth placing his room key on the table.

A Heaven-tier Guest Room at his inn cost a thousand Spirit Coins a day, and normally no one came to stay there.

Yet this young master had booked it for seven straight days without even batting an eye.

Now that he was leaving, the man could not help feeling disappointed.

"Mm. I'll come again if I get the chance."

Lin Suchou nodded and walked out.

Once he stepped onto the street again, he let out a long breath.

The outside was better. At least he could see the sun.

After leaving the small city, Lin Suchou summoned the little mare again, mounted her, and set out for the Black Nether Abyss in the south of the Northern Spiritual Realm.

Whoosh!

The little mare had eaten many of Wen Qingxuan's pills in the Spirit Road and had now reached the middle stage of the Spirit Soul Realm.

The wings on her back had grown to a zhang wide, and her white feathers shone brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

The scenery on the ground streamed backward. In only half an hour, Lin Suchou arrived at the borders of the Black Nether Abyss.

Passing through layers of poisonous miasma below, Lin Suchou reached a black Volcanic Crater in the Black Nether Abyss.

Seeing the skeletons of Spirit Beasts below, frozen in running poses within the black basin, Lin Suchou sighed in relief.

It seemed Jiu You had already failed her tribulation and begun hiding within the Volcanic Crater to recuperate.

Leaving the little mare to play in the basin, happily smashing apart the Spirit Beast skeletons whose spiritual energy Jiu You had drained, Lin Suchou leaped directly into a black Volcanic Crater.

Thud.

After landing, Lin Suchou found the bottom of the Volcanic Crater rather dim. Black boulders lay scattered everywhere, dazzling the eye.

Fortunately, this posed no difficulty for Lin Suchou. He simply kicked apart the massive rocks in front of him one by one.

After Lin Suchou shattered several boulders, cracks suddenly appeared in one of them, and streaks of black light flashed out through the fissures.

With a bang, the boulder exploded completely, and a pitch-black orb of light rose before Lin Suchou.
